Chapter 59: The Return of Wang Zhonghe
Pei Min couldn't imagine that gathering great poets would have such a terrible effect.
Directly ushered in an era that belonged to them.
What really made people sing for thousands of years in the Tang Dynasty? What is your most valuable asset?
It is not the magnificent scene of the Tang Dynasty, nor the majesty of the submission of Siyi, but the amazing poems and songs, and the wonderful and profound articles.
Brilliant Tang poems, that is a wealth that will not be outdated for thousands of years or tens of thousands of years.
And the peak period of Tang poetry is undoubtedly this era.
The poet immortal Li Bai, the poet saint Du Fu, the poet He Zhizhang, the poet Buddha Wang Wei, the seven peerless saints Wang Changling, as well as Gao Shi, Cen Shen, Wang Zhilian, Meng Haoran, etc., etc., can't be counted.
These are still the kind of prolific poets who are particularly famous, and with the addition of mid-range poets, it is like a carp crossing the river.
If they could really be brought together, what a glorious and grand scene it would be.
Pei Min felt enthusiastic just thinking about it.
was drinking to the fullest, Wang Wei and Meng Haoran came to meet together.
Meng Haoran is six in his Chinese New Year's Eve this year, with a square face and big ears, a beard on his face, not at all the appearance of a scholar, but quite rough, which makes Pei Min feel again: People must not look good.
"I've seen Pei Shuai (Pei Guogong)!"
The two of them saluted together.
"No need to be polite!" Pei Min said, letting them all sit together.
Zhang Xu saw that the guests were coming, and also asked his subordinates to prepare side dishes.
Meng Haoran is just a rough person, and his speech and demeanor still have the style of a literati, neither humble nor arrogant, nor arrogant, and he has the same feeling as a rough man embroidering.
Pei Min chatted with Meng Haoran about his apprentice Li Bai.
Meng Haoran also talked about what they had gone through.
"In the tenth year of Kaiyuan, Yu Xiangyang Liquor Shop sang and made peace with his friend Jia Zhishi. Taibai was drunk and made a big fuss in the wine shop, thinking that he was just a drunkard and ignored him. But he didn't want Taibai to deliberately make trouble, and the owner of the wine shop forced the farmer's fine grain to make wine at a low price. Taibai couldn't see it, forced out the owner, and stood up for the farmer. Taibai's swordsmanship is elegant, free and easy, the sword and people complement each other, and the pride is dry. Seeing that he was besieged by many people, Yu couldn't help but step forward to help. The two hit it off at first sight and hated each other. ”
Pei Min's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "Haoran also knows how to sword?" ”
Meng Haoran bowed his head and said: "When I was nine years old, I studied and learned swords, and I have been studying for more than 20 years. It is not as good as the unparalleled in the world of Guogong, nor is it as good as Brother Taibai, who is chic and elegant, and he will deal with three or five thieves. ”
Pei Min saluted Meng Haoran, in this era of martial arts, there are really not many scholars who are simply powerless.
Meng Haoran said that he would meet Li Bai's Wuchang again, "At that time, Yu was planning to visit friends in Guangling, and Taibai also gave a parting poem. ”
Speaking of this, Meng Haoran was quite emotional.
He has been famous for a long time, and he has rich experience, and when he first met, he was much better than the fledgling Li Bai in terms of poetry and writing.
At the beginning, Li Bai asked him a lot of advice on five-word ancient poems and seven-word ancient poems.
Meng Haoran's poems have the characteristics of "taking ancient poems as rhythmic poems", and Li Bai has certain similarities with Meng Haoran in this regard, showing that he has been greatly influenced.
But just over a year, when the two met again, Li Bai's song "Yellow Crane Tower to Meng Haoran's Guangling" already had a feeling of rebirth.
Let Meng Haoran have the feeling that the blue is better than the blue.
Zhang Xu had already heard about it, and he also sighed: "The lonely sail is far away and the sky is clear, and only the Yangtze River skyline can be seen." Taibai's talent with poetry is really amazing. ”
Pei Min was also happy for Li Bai, and looked at Meng Haoran and asked him about his plans.
Meng Haoran said: "Yu indulges in poetry and wine, and visits the landscape, which can be said to be worthy of this life, and he wasted this life." De Taibai proposed to come to Liangzhou, Hexi, and met Mr. Bogao, Mr. Jiuling, as well as Maha, Shaobo, and Ji Ling, and he felt a lot and understood a truth. In addition to being worthy of this life, people also need to do something for others. The rest has nothing else to do, only some literary brilliance to see, and is willing to stay here to help Guogong and Mr. Bogao promote my Chinese culture. ”
"Good!" Pei Min originally wanted to include Meng Haoran in the shogunate, but seeing that he had his own goal, he didn't force it, and responded in one bite.
Zhang Xu and Meng Haoran are in charge of the affairs of the library, and Pei Min can completely put his mind at ease.
Let Zhang Xu and Meng Haoran be the official administration, Pei Min may be worried that they are powerless.
This poem is excellent, and it may not really have a strategy for governing the country. But they are in charge of literary matters, and even if you look at the world, few dare to say that they are more suitable than them.
When I left the library, it was already evening.
Pei Min returned to Guzang satisfied.
Drinking and chatting with Zhang Xu and Meng Haoran, talking about literature and poetry, it is not easy to relax.
In the next few days, Pei Min personally arranged the marriage with Gongsun You, and all kinds of etiquette were not ready to be pulled down.
Although Gongsun You is a native of the rivers and lakes, informal, and has no parents alive at home, Pei Min still does not plan to act hastily.
Give Gongsun You the greatest respect.
On this day, Pei Min arranged a separate courtyard for Gongsun Youfu to live in the courtyard.
In ancient times, it was normal to have three wives and four concubines, and there was a set of methods for how to distribute them.
Whether they are wives or concubines, they all have their own houses.
Pei Min is the master, but he doesn't, he chooses who to sleep with at will.
In fact, in the bottom of his heart, it is a beautiful thing to be able to sleep together, but this kind of thought can only be thought about.
Pei Min is now wealthy, and directly prepared a separate courtyard for Gongsun You.
Pei Min was personally in charge of the rest of the courtyard, and was arranging for his subordinates to do it, but when he saw Wang Zhongsi coming from afar, he immediately put down everything and greeted him with a big smile.
"Brother Min!" Wang Zhongsi shouted loudly and walked forward quickly to say hello.
Pei Min put his hands on Wang Zhongsi's shoulders, pressed it, and said with a smile: "It's strong again!" Have you seen Aunt Wang and my mother? ”
"I've seen it!" Wang Zhongsi said: "As soon as I came back, I kowtowed to my mother and stepmother, and when I learned that Brother Min was here, I came to meet him and tell Brother Min about the things in Beijing." ”
"Good!" Pei Min dragged Wang Zhongsi to the study, he knew that Wang Zhongsi didn't like to drink tea, so he went straight to the wine.
Wang Zhongsi was as sensible as ever, and preemptively gave Pei Min the first time.
Pei Min asked, "I went to Chang'an to offer prisoners, but what happened?" ”
Wang Zhongsi shook his head and said: "There is no big thing, it's just that my brother is not good at fighting in the court, and I am worried that I can't handle it well, which will affect Brother Min." He paused and said, "This time I entered Beijing and met Your Majesty. His Majesty is very easy-going, and he also likes his younger brother. promoted his younger brother to the military envoy of the Jiesheng Army, and also meant to transfer him out of Hexi, and let his younger brother go to Anxi to fill the vacancy. The younger brother didn't want to leave Brother Min and refused, saying that Ziting had a special geographical location and didn't dare to leave lightly, so as not to spoil Brother Min's plan. ”
Pei Min nodded, and didn't say much, according to his understanding of Li Longji, Li Longji's proposal was simply to be promoted, and there was no other meaning.
Wang Zhongsi continued: "Your Majesty also asked about the situation in the Western Regions......
He will give a detailed account of his meeting with Li Longji.
Pei Min listened word by word and said: "The competition in the court is deceitful, and we should indeed be careful everywhere and be cautious, but there is no need to be too cautious." How to say it, Your Majesty is a very utilitarian king. He is extremely tolerant of generals who can bring him merits, even if you are at fault, he will turn a blind eye. Therefore, meeting such a king is a kind of luck for those of us who are generals. It is not His Majesty who should be noted, but the ministers in the court. ”
"According to the information I have received, His Majesty attaches great importance to martial arts, Zhang Xiang is in charge, and he is biased towards governing the army. It has aroused the dissatisfaction of some civil servants, who feel that civil rule is the foundation of the country. Such a worthy effort to develop military merits and command and encourage unhealthy tendencies is contrary to national stability. Therefore, your brother Min holds the soldiers of the two towns and is also responsible for the political affairs of Hexi, which has caused some people to look down on it. ”
Wang Zhongsi said with dissatisfied indignation: "Brother Min is loyal to the country, if there is no Brother Min, how can there be the current peaceful and prosperous world, and how can they enjoy comfortably in the Chang'an Flower World." A bunch of fools who don't know the height of the sky......"
Pei Min said with a smile: "Actually, this is not without benefits, there is a certain gap between civil and military affairs." If it is really the will of the people, it is dangerous. Don't care about this, as long as the other party doesn't maliciously attack, and doesn't harm the overall situation because of this political bias, you don't have to worry about them. ”
Pei Min is thinking very openly now, and the friction between civil and military forces is indispensable.
The more antagonistic it is, the more it will disrupt state affairs.
Ignore it, but you can empty your mind and deal with foreign enemies.
And the key is that the current atmosphere in the court is really good, those Wenchen who oppose Zhang Shuo and can't get used to Pei Min. Most of them felt that it was inappropriate for a person like Pei Min to control government affairs with an army of 140,000 in his hands, and he did not really attack Pei Min for supporting the army and being proud of his merits.
Therefore, Pei Min didn't bother to care, showing his generosity.
The more this is the case, the more many ministers have no way to target Pei Min, and the spearhead is mostly pointed at Zhang Shuo, the prime minister.
Compared with Yao Chong's Yiyantang, Song Jing's hearts are all in the heart, and Zhang Shuo obviously failed to fully convince the public.
Pei Min said to Wang Zhongsi seriously: "In the future, you will definitely go out and take charge alone." You have to remember Brother Min's words, there is a difference between civil and military. You must not argue with those rapping ministers, no matter whether you win or lose, you will not be pleased. If you really want to be wronged, come back and tell Brother Min that Brother Min will give you a head. ”
As he spoke, he thought of what happened to Wang Zhongsi in history, and emphasized: "But there is one thing you have to pay attention to, with your identity as Brother Min, no matter how big the matter is, I can carry it like you can do it." The only thing is that I can't do anything, and you must not get involved. ”
Wang Zhongsi said cautiously: "Brother Min, please speak." ”
Pei Min said: "Your Majesty's family background, whether it is Wu Jieyu or the battle between the princes. His Majesty is a man of great personal feelings, and he is very irrational in this regard. If you offend his scales, no one will be able to protect you. ”
Wang Zhongsi cautiously said that he understood, and paused and said: "Actually, this time in Chang'an, my brother got acquainted with the third prince Li Sisheng. ”
When Pei Min heard Li Sisheng's three words, he didn't react for a moment, he thought about Li Longji's third son, and his face suddenly became solemn.
