"Yuxi is here, please hurry up." When Wen Tingyun heard that Yuxi was born, he stood up happily and said to his subordinates: "Prepare a wine bowl and add a pair of chopsticks." ”

Then Wen Tingyun said to Zhang Wei: "Yuxi Sheng has been my friend for many years, we happened to have dinner together, and by the way, I also introduced you two to each other." ”

Zhang Wei doesn't even know who Yuxisheng is, so what does it matter if he knows him or not?

However, since he is Wen Tingyun's friend, he must also be a fellow practitioner, at least he should not be a gangster on the street.

Just when Zhang Wei was puzzled, the subordinate led a thin middle-aged man to the pavilion of Duling Thatched Cottage.

"Shang Yin has seen Brother Tingyun." Seeing Wen Tingyun, the thin middle-aged man arched his hand and said to Wen Tingyun.

"Oh, why did Yu Xisheng suddenly remember my humble house?" Wen Tingyun said to the visitor with a happy face.

The person who came didn't answer, but looked at Zhang Wei and said, "Who is this?" ”

"I forgot to introduce, this is also my brother named Zhang Wei, and now he is an errand boy in Linghu Grocery Store." Wen Tingyun introduced.

"Oh--, it turned out to be Brother Zhang, Li Shangyin is polite." After that, the person who came said to Zhang Wei.

Li Shangyin?

My mother, this middle-aged man with a bitter face turned out to be the famous Li Shangyin.

Zhang Wei's mouth opened wide in shock.

What's going on here? Since I came to the Tang Dynasty, why have I seen all the famous literati or high-ranking officials and celebrities?

It's not Wen Tingyun, it's Li Shangyin, it's not Yu Youwei, it's Ling Fox, Ling Fox?

Oh my God, does the old man know that I, Zhang Wei, don't learn and don't know how to do it, and deliberately let these sour and rotten literati bury me?

Seeing Zhang Wei looking at Li Shangyin in a daze, Wen Tingyun said: "Brother Xian, what's wrong with you, he is the famous Li Shangyin." Have you read his poetry? ”

Wen Tingyun reminded Zhang Wei to come to his senses, "It turned out to be the famous Li Shangyin, and Zhang is polite here." After that, Zhang Wei also learned from Li Shangyin's appearance, and said to him, "Since he is a great poet of Li Shangyin, why does Brother Wen call him Yuxisheng?" ”

Well?

Li Shangyin and Wen Tingyun glanced at each other, and then both of them laughed, Wen Tingyun said to Zhang Wei: "Brother Xian doesn't know, Li Shangyin is his name, the word Yishan, this Yuxisheng is his number, Li Shangyin is called 'Yuxisheng', now I understand." ”

Zhang Wei thought to himself, this person in the Tang Dynasty is also strange, not only famous, but also has a name, but also a number.

Isn't it just a big living person? Why do you have so many names, characters and numbers?

"Seeing that you are not very old, you are not surprised to call you a virtuous brother, right?" Since Wen Tingyun regarded Zhang Wei as a virtuous brother, Li Shangyin also said.

"Brother Li can treat me Zhang Wei as a brother, this is my love, of course Zhang Wei is happy." can be a brother to characters like Wen Tingyun and Li Shangyin, of course Zhang Wei is willing, "Brother Li, please take a seat." ”

Saying that, Zhang Wei invited Li Shangyin to sit down and eat together.

"This brother is very good at talking!" Li Shangyin pointed at Zhang Wei and said to Wen Tingyun.

"Zhang Wei is a powerful person, and there are many things that he knows." Wen Tingyun jokingly said to Li Shangyin: "You haven't been to Chang'an for a long time, please sit down and talk." ”

After Li Shangyin sat down, Zhang Wei filled him with wine.

Wen Tingyun raised the wine bowl and said to Li Shangyin: "From Shu to Chang'an, it is thousands of miles away, come to ---, first drink a bowl of wine to relieve fatigue." ”

Zhang Wei only knows Li Shangyin's name, but he may not be able to have a complete understanding of his life experience. In fact, Li Shangyin's life is actually not easy, it can be said that he has been adrift all the way and has had a bumpy life.

On the road of scientific research in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shangyin failed many times, and it was not until he was 25 years old that Li Shangyin was admitted to the Jinshi with the help of his friends.

Jinshi was admitted, but if he was admitted, he was admitted, as for whether he could be an official, there was still a long way to go?

Even in this life, he may not necessarily go to the road of becoming an official.

Because his wife was the daughter of Wang Maoyuan, the envoy of Jingyuan Jiedu, this young man, who originally had little political background, suddenly fell into the most fierce political whirlpool in the Tang Dynasty, "Niu Li Party Dispute".

Wang Maoyuan was friendly with Li Deyu and was regarded as a member of the "Li Party"; And Ling Hu Chu and Ling Hu Xuan father and son belong to the "Niu Party".

During this period of time in Datang, the Niu Party and the Li Party switched back and forth on the political stage of Datang, and soon the Niu Party came to power again, and Li Shangyin also paid the price.

In the Tang Dynasty, obtaining the qualification of Jinshi was generally not immediately conferred on the official position, and it was necessary to pass the examination held by the Ministry of Officials before he could embark on a career in office. Li Shangyin was no exception and had to take the official examination, and as a result, he was removed from the re-examination.

The following year, Li Shangyin took the official examination again, but this time he was not removed, but only got the position of secretary and provincial school secretary. School scrivener, but by listening to the name, you know that it is a clerk who corrects mistakes.

Although this is a low-level official position, there are certain opportunities for development. In case in the process of proofreading, the performance is superior and the emperor or the prime minister is favored, and the opportunity to rise to the top will come.

However, Li Shangyin was not so lucky, and it didn't take long for him to be transferred to Hongnong County Lieutenant.

Please remember that Li Shangyin's position is a county lieutenant, not a county order.

This county lieutenant is the same as the county magistrate, but the county magistrate is the executive deputy county magistrate, and the county lieutenant is only the deputy county magistrate in charge of public security.

Think about it, Li Shangyin is a weak scholar, he can't kill chickens and shake his hands, he is in charge of catching thieves, arresting people, stopping fights and brawls, and occasionally talking to prisoners in prison, wrestling and other rough work, can he do it well?

Isn't this a blatant embarrassment for him?

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Li Shangyin to be reprimanded by his superiors for his mistakes at work, and he almost lost his job.

People who drink water on their backs will have their teeth sick.

Since then, Li Shangyin has been unhappy, today he is not to be used as a staff member, and tomorrow he will be a petty official who is not in the stream.

Looking back on his decades of official career, Hongnong County Lieutenant turned out to be his highest official position.

This time, it was because he had a good relationship with Liu Zhongying, the envoy of Xichuan Jiedu, that he became a staff member and lived a relatively comfortable life for a few years.

It was based on his "good habits" that he had no ambition in his life, so he got mixed up with Wen Tingyun, a "scumbag" who couldn't even pass the Jinshi exam.

As the saying goes: they are both people with bumpy careers, and it is reasonable to meet each other.

Li Shangyin took a sip of wine and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Ah--, refreshing, it's still Chang'an's wine is delicious, although Shudi is also good, but I can't drink the taste of Chang'an!" ”

Looking at Li Shangyin's intoxicated appearance, Wen Tingyun asked, "Yishan didn't work as a staff member of Liu Gong (Liu Zhongying) in Shudi, why did he return to Chang'an again?" ”

Wen Tingyun knew that Li Shangyin at this time should be in Sichuan to Liu Zhongying, the envoy of the festival at that time, as a staff member.

Suddenly appeared in Chang'an, there must be something wrong with this.

Li Shangyin listened to it and sighed, "Life is impermanent, and the Holy Lord has already transferred Liu Gong back to Chang'an." ”

Well?

Liu Zhongying returned to Chang'an?

"Duke Liu has returned to Chang'an, isn't it important to Duke Liu?" Wen Tingjun didn't just ask.

For a long time, those important figures in the Tang Dynasty who served as envoys in other places will return to Chang'an to serve as prime ministers after making certain contributions, which is called "being the prime minister".

What kind of position will Liu Zhongying, who is the envoy of the Jiannan Dongchuan Festival?

Li Shangyin shook his head: "Still waiting, any specific positions are not known?" ”

Under the circumstance that Ling Fox's strength is in full swing, what is the matter with Liu Zhongying, who is the Li Party, returning to Chang'an?

Is it a good thing or a bad thing for Li Shangyin as a staff member?

Wen Tingyun didn't know, and Li Shangyin couldn't guess what the reason behind this incident was?
