Chapter 168: The White Jade Lion Rolls the Hydrangea

The girl who was playing the qin next to her stared at Li Xingzhou without blinking.

Beautiful eyes are full of curiosity.

He obviously couldn't figure out how such a person could be equated with the famous General Li.

Her mind floated, and she had already stood up, made a blessing with her hands on her waist, and said euphemistically:

"Li Baishi has seen the general."

Li Xingzhou Weileng:

"Li Baishi?"

"But the white jade lion that rolls the hydrangea Li Baishi?"

Li Baishi's face turned slightly red, and he instantly became angry.

Said in a cold voice:

"It's all a rumor, I'm afraid it will pollute the general's ears"

Li Baishi, the first prostitute in Hezhou City.

She is clearly a girl who has fallen into the red dust, but no one dares to regard her as a woman who has hooked the fence, her name is Li Baishi.

Li Baishi was originally a third-rate official family in the Sui Dynasty, but when he arrived in the Sui Dynasty of the Li Tang Dynasty, the country was ruined and the family was destroyed.

Later, his parents were not good at business, and he left a mess for his young children after his death.

Li Baishi went to Chang'an with his mother to sell his ancestral property for a living, lived in a small building in the pine forest, and entertained the landscape.

When he grows into a beautiful and moving girl, his body is exquisite.

Every time I travel, there are always a lot of young people to follow.

Later, in order to escape the forcible abduction of Helan Minzhi of Wu Zetian's family, he was exiled to Hezhou, thousands of miles away.

With his proficiency in music and dance, he was good at observing words and colors, and soon became a famous name in Longxi.

It is rumored that Li Baishi has a pair of white lotus jade feet, and has learned Taoist room techniques and tantric joy Buddha.

You can make a variety of mysterious postures on the bed, so there is a charming saying that the white jade lion rolls the hydrangea.

Li Xingzhou's mouth is a white jade lion rolling hydrangea, which can be regarded as annoying the first prostitute in Hezhou.

Li Shuangjia, a rouge woman who was extremely humiliated, was furious, and subconsciously bent down her slender waist.

In this way, the chest bulged so badly that it almost tore through the clothes.

Her body is not that petite and exquisite, and the scenery on her chest is menacing.

Although she has fallen into the dust, she admires those heroes.

After the Battle of Shanzhou, I heard the name of Li Xingzhou.

followed by the spread of "Eight Cups of Wine", and I still have more admiration for this general who can write and martial arts.

But I didn't expect a mouth to be so vulgar.

"White jade lion rolling hydrangea" and "a tree of pear flowers pressed begonia", "Huayue Mountain in front of the palm marks", are some charming sayings.

But Li Xingzhou talked about it in front of others, and besides, the room was full of powerful people in Hezhou City, and he thought that he gave people a vulgar feeling for a while.

In fact, literati are like this, some things can be understood and cannot be spoken, and it is obscene rather than romantic to say it.

Sure enough, Li Xingzhou's voice just fell.

The full house of literati and elegant guests no longer pursued Li Baishi's inappropriate remarks about "Eight Glasses of Wine" just now.

On the contrary, he was dissatisfied with Li Xingzhou's blasphemy.

"In the past, there were eighteen talented people in Chang'an, who were drunk and sang on the bank of Weishui on the night of the full moon."

"On a whim, everyone met with the theme of the full moon in the sky and the Weishui under their feet, and made a wine order, supplemented by music and praise, and competed with each other."

However, as the old saying goes: there is no first. The wine orders made by the eighteen famous talents are actually accusing each other, and it is difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior. ”

In the middle of the dispute, there was a pleasant sound from a small boat floating on the Weishui. Its voice is unique, its words are fresh, and its voice is even more beautiful. ”

"Eighteen talented people, at the same time, were fascinated by this music and rhythm, and were moved by this song, and they were immediately willing to bow down."

"Afterwards, no matter how many eighteen people tried to persuade the girl who was playing the piano in the boat, the girl just refused to come out to meet her."

"On the contrary, she also made eighteen riddles of the Wonderful Order, a total of eighteen sentences, each of which is a riddle."

He said that if one of the questions could be answered, everyone would be able to get on the boat. Those eighteen riddles completely stumped the self-righteous talents, and finally walked away. ”

"Only later did I know that the girl who played the piano was Miss Li Baishi of the Weishui Red Archway. After that, Miss White Lion became famous all over the world. ”

Li Baishi listened to Li Xingzhou say the most proud thing in his life.

But he still said lightly: "The general has seen people, and the white lion has learned." ”

Everyone saw that Li Xingzhou was a military general, but his knowledge was quite extensive, and they immediately had a good impression of him.

Only then did I remember that before Li Xingzhou joined the army, he was a famous Bachelor Li!

In fact, Li Xingzhou heard this from Yu Youwei's mouth.

At that time, it was in the boudoir of Luoyang Oiran Yu Youwei.

Yu Youwei softly sang his "Rare Words" for him.

Li Xingzhou remembered that he praised her at that time, "This song should only exist in heaven, how many times can I hear it in the world." ”

As a result, Yu Youwei rolled her beautiful eyes and said that if her singing voice could be regarded as a fairy sound, then Li Baishi's qin music could not be described in words.

So, Li Xingzhou heard this story for the first time about "Eighteen wonderful laws are difficult to oppose, and they come out after a long time".

As soon as he told the story, someone at the table burst into laughter.

"I didn't expect the general to be on the front line, and he was also quite concerned about elegant things."

"Come on, come on, show the general a seat first, the general is a guest from afar, although he has official business, he must not be in a hurry, right?"

It was the middle-aged Confucian who was sitting next to Wang Yuangan who spoke.

Li Xingzhou also unceremoniously motioned for Park Jingtai and Wuyang to sit down together.

The Confucian looked at Li Xingzhou and said.

"Mr. Li is famous all over the world and has a wide range of knowledge."

"In that case, I'll test you. Since the eighteen geniuses on the Weishui waterfront did not answer any of the puzzles, why did Miss White Lion still have a long-awaited statement? ”

Li Xingzhou shook his head crisply.

"I don't know."

The young man next to Wang Yuangan smiled.

Actually, someone answered the question at the time. It's just that this guy pretended not to know, but he came back quietly afterwards and confessed the answer, and then he finally saw it. ”

When he said this, his eyes squinted at the middle-aged Confucian student, and he didn't say anything, but his eyes had already given the answer.

The middle-aged Confucian laughed proudly, and he said proudly.

"Contemptible Du Su."

Obviously, he was the one who answered one of the eighteen puzzles.

Li Xingzhou was slightly stunned. He had heard the name Du Su.

In May 692, Wu Zetian ordered a ban on killing.

Zuo picked up Zhang De, who had been looking forward to giving birth to a son for many years, and it was in this year that his wife gave birth to a "teapot spout".

He was overjoyed, and his colleagues came home to congratulate him.

In order to thank the guests, Zhang De slaughtered a sheep and feasted his colleagues.

During the banquet, Du Su, an official of the supplemental que, secretly stuffed a meatloaf in his cuff, and went to Wu Zetian that night, accusing Zhang De of not abiding by the rules of the ministers, violating the order of "prohibiting killing", committing a serious crime, and requesting that Zhang De be dismissed from office and imprisoned.

In the morning of the next day, Wu Zetian remained silent and asked Zhang De slowly.

"I heard you have a son? Glad isn't it? ”

Zhang De thought that the empress cared about him, and was very happy, so he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him.

After kneeling down, he was about to get up, but Wu Zetian asked again.

"Where does your meat come from?"

This question frightened Zhang De's three souls and lost his second soul, and he immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic, and shouted.

"The minister is guilty! Damn it! ”

honestly confessed that he killed a sheep to celebrate his son, and asked the emperor to open up.

Those colleagues who participated in Zhang De's family banquet were also frightened, and they didn't dare to come out one by one, only Du Su, who made a small report, was secretly proud, and decided that Wu Zetian wanted to greatly commend himself, and it was time to be promoted to the rank of knight.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zetian glanced at Du Su coldly, and then turned to Zhang De and said.

"I forbid the killing of all living beings in the world, because I did not want to pursue excessive extravagance in life. Are folk ceremonies and funerals excluded from this ban? You can discuss it again. You give birth to a son and kill a sheep to celebrate, there is no sin, let it be peaceful. But there is one thing, you should have a choice when you treat yourself in the future, and don't invite the wrong person. ”

After speaking, he handed over the recital sheet written by Du Su to Zhang De and the ministers.

Du Su made a small report to Wu Zetian, and wanted to "step on his stomach" to provide opportunities for his promotion, but who knew that Zhu Bajie looked in the mirror - he was not a person inside and out, so he had to resign immediately and go home to pick up the child.

Through Zhang De's private slaughter of sheep, Wu Zetian found that the "ban on killing" was biased, so he let the ministers discuss it, and revised the "ban on killing", stipulating that weddings, funerals, weddings, and weddings are not restricted by the "ban on killing", and sheep and dogs can be killed.

Unexpectedly, Du Su actually came to Hezhou.

This person wrote several good poems in his early years, which were sung for a while, and he was also a famous literati in the Tang Dynasty.

Later, he devoted himself to his career, but he repeatedly failed to win, and he wasted his age in vain.

In the end, he could only linger in Fengyue places every day, making obscene words to please the Qinglou woman, and he was also famous.

It's just that although there is a saying about talented and beautiful people in the world, you can also look at your age.

has a handful of beards, but he still has to be elegant, thinking that he is a young talent.

At the beginning, the eighteen riddles, this Du Su only guessed one, so proud, I am afraid that the world will not know.

The article may not be full, but being a person has failed to the extreme.

Especially when he clearly guessed the riddle at that time, but pretended not to know.

Returning afterwards, what is the picture?

Isn't it just to be able to be alone and kiss Fangze?

At that time, he hadn't even seen what Li Baishi looked like, and he had already made up his mind to eat alone, which showed that he was despicable.

He gave Li Xingzhou a seat as Bai Ding, which shows that he is arrogant.

You must know that although Li Xingzhou has no official position at this time, he is also a student in Chongwen Hall personally appointed by Wu Zetian.

Which of the big guys in Luoyang didn't give up his hand and said: "Master Li!" ”

At this time, the Battle of Shanzhou defeated the main force of Tubo in one fell swoop.

It is believed that the new appointment of Li Xingzhou will come down soon.

For such an arrogant and arrogant person, Li Xingzhou has no good feelings.

Since he didn't like this person, he didn't even want to say the word "long admiration".

Du Su stood proudly in his chest for a long time, and without waiting for the expected reply, he was very depressed and held back again.

At this moment, Li Baishi clasped the strings in his hand and gently plucked one of the strings.

Its sound is sonorous and powerful, accompanied by the aftermath of Rao Liang.

She said softly.

"Bachelor Li is not fighting on the front line, why did he come to Hezhou City?"

It seems that Li Xingzhou's frivolity just now still angered him.

Her voice was warm and sweet, and Li Xingzhou's heart was in a trance when she heard it.

He hesitated for a moment before saying:

"In the Battle of Shanzhou, four thousand brothers died in my Zuo Wuwei."

"On the order of Generalissimo Xue, our department returned to Longxi for adjustment, passing through Hezhou City, and I want to have two things to request."

"The first is that most of my brothers are family members, and if the family knows the bad news, it will be very painful."

"Although there are people in the Pingxi Army Camp who send such newspapers, I thought about it and wrote a separate letter for each of them, telling them that their son is a real warrior."

"Originally, I was going to hand over the post station, but the front line battle, the post station was requisitioned, in order not to delay this matter, and when I was ordered to go to Longxi, I thought of asking Wang Taishou for help."

"I hope you can do me a favor and make sure that these letters are delivered to each of their families."

Li Baishi frowned slightly, he couldn't imagine that this iron-blooded man who had killed countless people would have such a warm side. He actually wrote more than 4,000 letters home by hand to the families of his dead soldiers.

This is the first time I have heard of this in the entire Tang Empire.

Li Baishi couldn't help but bow.

"Master Li loves soldiers like sons, and the white lion admires him."

Only then did Li Xingzhou hand over the more than 4,000 letters he had brought to Wang Yuangan.

"Please, sir."

Seeing that Wang Yuangan had received those letters, Li Xingzhou said:

"What happened just now was just a private matter, this time I came to find Lord Wang, and there is also official business."

"Please."

"Generalissimo Xue's order is adjusted, and by the way, give me a conscription order."

"Let me come back and resupply the troops."

"But to supply the troops, it is necessary to requisition the use of grain and grass, and carry heavy ordnance."

"But that's not all you need in the military. A few days ago, Shanzhou won a great victory, and the army had already paid all the money in order to reward the meritorious soldiers. In a few days, it will be the end of the month, and there will be no money to pay in the army, so I will have to ask the adults to help me. ”

When Wang Yuangan heard that he was here to ask for money, his face immediately pulled down.

Li Xingzhou sat quietly opposite Wang Yuangan, smiling.

He's listening.

In his ears, it was Wang Yuangan who was babbling and complaining.

He was telling Li Xingzhou about his helplessness and his difficulties.

Shepherding one side for the Son of Heaven always has all kinds of countless troubles.

And among these troubles, there are always some that cannot be solved without money.

The people are unwilling to pay taxes according to the law, and the officials always want to profit from it.

The year before last, there was a blizzard, and the house collapsed, and it was he, the Taishou, who sent people to relieve the people and took out a large amount of money to comfort everyone.

Last year, when the bandits were in turmoil, it was he who organized a team to protect the people, tended to drive out the bandits and strongmen, and gave the people a safe life.

The Tang Dynasty fought against Tubo, although the military resources required were all allocated by Chang'an and temporarily stored here.

He doesn't need to pay for it, but he still needs to do the work of safekeeping, guarding, fire prevention and theft.

These also cost a lot of money.

As a state official, he Wang Yuangan is loyal to his duties, thinks of the people, and takes it from the people for the people.

Therefore, the treasury of this Hezhou City has long been empty, and there is not half a penny of silver.

He spoke in a mournful voice and a sincere expression, and he almost didn't let his tears fall.

People who don't know see it, and they think that this person is really a peerless good official, and he is facing a big problem that cannot be solved.

Li Xingzhou was amused when he heard it.
