Chapter 298: The Force Value of the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty
"What's the odd thing?" Li Zhang couldn't help but ask curiously when he heard this, Han Qi is such a steady person, and Li Zhang is also very curious about things that can make him say the word "strange".
"This morning when we were about to go back, we happened to pass by the Great Xiangguo Temple, someone proposed to inscribe poems on the white walls on both sides of the temple gate, and we found a new inscription of the word, called "Qingyu Case Yuan Xi", which is definitely a masterpiece, but there is no signature next to the word, I don't know if Brother Li knows about it?" Han Qi asked at this time staring at Li Zhang with blazing eyes.
"Oh? Why does Brother Han think I will know about this? When Li Zhang heard that the other party was actually here for the poem he wrote, he also looked at Han Qi with a smile at the moment.
"Brother Li, you and I have corresponded many times, and I am still very familiar with your handwriting, so when I saw the handwriting on the wall, I thought of you first." Han Qi spoke again at this time.
"Brother Han, there are too many people with similar handwriting in the world, if you just rely on your handwriting, I'm afraid you can't do it accurately." Li Zhang denied with a smile that the reason why he didn't write his name when he wrote the lyrics was because he was worried that the poem would cause some trouble, after all, he was not a scholar, and asking for these false names was not only useless, but sometimes it could be harmful.
"There are indeed many people in the world with similar handwriting, but some writing habits are unique to individuals, you like to abbreviate some strokes when writing, such as the word 'horse', which is obviously four points of water below, but you often abbreviate it as a horizontal, and the horse character in the sentence 'BMW carved car fragrant road' in the poem is this way of writing, Brother Li, how do you explain this?" Seeing that Li Zhang didn't know him, Han Qi smiled again at this time and asked, since he dared to come, he naturally had all the preparations.
Li Zhang was also stunned when he heard this, he re-learned the writing of traditional Chinese characters after coming to the Great Song Dynasty, but sometimes there are too many strokes of traditional Chinese characters, so he sometimes involuntarily simplifies the writing method, but he didn't expect that it was this problem that betrayed him, so that Han Qi recognized the poem at a glance from his own hand.
"Well, I'll admit, I wrote that poem." Li Zhang finally raised his hand and surrendered at this time, after all, Han Qi had already come up with solid evidence, and he couldn't deny it no matter how much he denied it.
"Sure enough, it's you, I haven't seen you for a few years, Brother Li, you are really impressive!" When Han Qi saw Li Zhang's admission, he couldn't help but be very excited at the moment, although he had already guessed before, but after all, he had not been confirmed.
"This ...... Hehe, the article is natural, and I just feel it, and I don't think I can write it in the future! Li Zhang could only be cheeky at this time and said again, this was what he was afraid of before, but he was still recognized.
"Brother Li, you are too modest, just this poem is enough to make your name known to future generations, when we first saw your words today, everyone was extremely amazed, and even those who were going to write poems gave up, because they didn't dare to make a fool of themselves in front of your words!" Han Qi said excitedly again at this time, and after speaking, he discussed the Qingyu case with Li Zhang.
Fortunately, Li Zhang is also very familiar with this Qingyu case, otherwise he would not have memorized it, and later generations have already had countless interpretations of this poem, so Li Zhang can also cope with it easily, as for the creative background of this poem, it is simpler, anyway, Li Zhang insisted that it was written for the woman he liked, after all, on the surface, all the beautiful scenery and foreshadowing in front of this poem are actually designed for the last woman, and it is completely okay to regard it as a poem of love.
"Brother Li gave this word to a woman, if I were a woman, I am afraid I would not be able to help but promise each other, it seems that it will not be long before I will drink your wedding wine Brother Li!" Han Qi couldn't help but laugh again when he heard Li Zhang's explanation.
"Haha, I do plan to propose marriage in a few days, but the other party is in the filial piety period, so I am afraid that the date of marriage will be delayed for a few years." Li Zhang also laughed out loud at the moment and said, Han Qi is married, Zhao Zhen is also married, Li Zhang thinks about the peers he knows, it seems that it is indeed not rare to be single, it seems that it is time for him to get married.
When he learned that the other party lived in the inn, he also tried his best to invite the other party to live in his own house, after all, the inn is too crowded, and it is usually too noisy, which is not conducive to reading at all, and Han Qi is also the time when he needs to be quiet the most, and it just so happens that Li Zhang's home can provide this condition.
Regarding Li Zhang's invitation, Han Qi thought for a moment and nodded his head in agreement, in addition to the above reasons, he also considered that he had deliberately avoided Li Zhang before, but now that they had met, it would be a bit raw to refuse Li Zhang's kindness again.
At that moment, Li Zhang immediately sent someone to the inn to fetch Han Qi's luggage, and then personally arranged a courtyard in front of him, and there would be special people to deliver three meals a day, and some books at home were also sent here, hoping to bring some help to Han Qi's imperial examination next year.
"Brother Li, we have a poetry meeting tonight, why don't you go with me, it is estimated that the whole capital is now looking for you, the master of the Qingyu case." After settling in, Han Qi suddenly proposed to Li Zhang that although he hadn't slept for a day and a night, the young man had good energy, and tonight's event was scheduled yesterday, so he couldn't miss the appointment.
"No need, Brother Han, you can go, you don't have to take me there, after all, I'm not a scholar, and it's embarrassing to go." Li Zhang hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this, after all, he didn't have any attainments in poetry, and he just copied a few poems and pretended to be down, but if he really talked about it, I was afraid he would have to show his stuff.
Han Qi also felt that it made sense when he heard Li Zhang's words, after all, Li Zhang's identity was very special, he was young and in a high position, and if he went, it would make others uncomfortable, so he didn't force it.
But at this time, Li Zhang thought about it and spoke again: "Brother Han, I hope you don't reveal that I am the author of the Qingyu case, after all, my current situation should not be too sharp, a little false name is not only useless to me, but may also bring trouble in the future." ”
Han Qi also frowned slightly when he heard Li Zhang's words, thinking that Li Zhang's identity was indeed a little special, and he was already in a high position at a young age, if no one was jealous, it would definitely be impossible, if he showed his literary talent again, I am afraid that it would attract more people's attention, which may not be a good thing for Li Zhang, because this false name is really of little use to him.
Thinking of this, Han Qi nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I wrote it down, you know about it, I will never tell anyone!" ”
It's not early, Han Qi is also going to the appointment, Li Zhang also personally sent him out, and originally wanted to send a carriage to send him, but Han Qi didn't agree, because most of the friends he made were not very wealthy, if he traveled differently from others, I was afraid that he would distance himself from others, Li Zhang also thought so, so he didn't insist anymore.
In the next few days, Han Qi lived in Li Zhang's house with peace of mind, and Li Zhang also found a good day and invited a matchmaker to go to Liu's mansion to propose marriage, for the marriage of Li Zhang and Qingzhi, the Liu family dreamed of deciding, if it weren't for Liu Mei's death last year, the Liu family couldn't get married during the filial piety period, I'm afraid they would discuss the wedding with Li Zhang immediately.
However, even if you can't get married immediately, you can also set the marriage first, that is, the first four ceremonies of the six ceremonies can be carried out, namely Nacai, asking the name, Najib, Nazheng, the fifth step is to ask for the date, that is, to discuss the date of the wedding, but this does not need to be negotiated for the time being, and after the first four steps, the marriage is also decided, if one party repents, it will cause a great blow to the reputation of this party, especially if the woman regrets the marriage, it is essentially similar to the loss of moderation.
The whole engagement process does not need Li Zhang and Qingzhi to come forward, these are the affairs of both parents, Li Zhang's side is Li Yonghe and Lu Wu to come forward, and the Liu family is Qingzhi's eldest brother Liu De, after all, the eldest brother is like a father, and Li Zhang only knew after reading the marriage letter sent by Liu Fu that Qingzhi was two years younger than him, and he was fifteen years old this year, if it weren't for the deep entanglement with Li Zhang, a woman of this age should actually be married.
The marriage between the two parties is decided, but what makes Li Zhang dissatisfied is that it is inconvenient for him to see Qingzhi after the engagement, and it will take at least two years to get married.
Li Zhang's marriage was decided, and Liu E was the happiest, and even after the two got engaged, she immediately issued a decree to give Qingzhi a title, the so-called people, in fact, is a woman's title, generally only the wives of five-grade officials have such titles, and Li Zhang happens to be a five-grade official, which also represents Liu E's recognition of this marriage, as soon as her holy decree came out, it was almost given to this marriage to death, and it is impossible to change it in the future.
In addition to Liu E, Zhao Zhen is also happy, after all, he can't be the only one to get married, and even he agreed with Li Zhang that when Li Zhang gets married, he will go out of the palace to participate in it anyway, if possible, he also wants to be Li Zhang's royal palace, the so-called royal is actually the best man, which is generally served by the groom's younger brother or extremely close friends.
However, just when Li Zhang's marriage was just decided, and he also focused on the firearms supervisor and the money bank, he didn't expect that a very hot news suddenly broke out in the court again: the new prime minister Wang Zeng actually fought with the privy envoy Cao Yong!
When Li Zhang heard the above news, he couldn't help but secretly complain: Why are the prime ministers of the Great Song Dynasty so violent, Li Di and Ding Wei fought before, and now Wang Zeng and Cao are taking advantage of it, can it be said that the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty relied on force to take the position?
