Although he is nominally composing poetry, it is extremely difficult to write a good poem with the pen and ink in Zhang Yun's chest, but fortunately, there are still a lot of Tang and Song poems in his mind, which are enough to support him to enjoy on some occasions, such as now.

He walked to the railing, looked at the snowflakes that fell wantonly between heaven and earth, and took a deep breath.

Then he pointed to the gray-white sky and chanted aloud: "Before—not seen—the ancients!" ”

Slowly walked out of the pavilion and let the snowflakes fall.

"After—gone—the comer!"

Raise your head and groan in the snowflakes.

"Nian - heaven and earth - of - yo!"

I lowered my head and saw the white snowflakes covering the ground.

"Alone--suddenly-and-weeping!"

After chanting, Zhang Yunwen slowly walked back to the pavilion, returned to the same place, and sat down casually.

And the people in the pavilion either bowed their heads and pondered the poem that Zhang Yunwen read just now, or looked at Zhang Yunwen with a strange eye, and the little girls around the eldest grandson such as Runan Zhirou almost screamed when they saw Zhang Yunwen's pretentiousness just now.

"Yunwen's poem is majestic and majestic, and if you read it carefully, a generous and tragic atmosphere arises spontaneously, and it is worthy of being a general who leads the troops to fight!" Li Shimin finished reminiscing and said first.

The rest of the people saw that Li Shimin had set this tone, and they all followed Li Shimin's words, and for a while, the praise was overwhelming.

However, someone snorted coldly and said: "Although General Zhang's poetic conception is good, it is not in harmony with the rhythm and poetry!" ”

The scene was silent for a moment.

As soon as Zhang Yunwen saw the person who spoke, it was Zhao Deyan, and he smiled in his heart at the moment, this person's utilitarian heart was too strong, and in order to behave in front of Li Shimin, he actually spoke like this. This can be put to good use.

As soon as Zhao Deyan's voice fell, Zhang Yunwen said: "What rhyme poetry? Is that thing immutable? First there are poems and poems, and then there are Han and Wei poems, until the Qi Liang poetry style, from ancient times to the present, has been changing, is it possible that my Tang Dynasty today can't change this poetry style? ”

Zhao Deyan smacked his mouth, but he didn't speak.

Zhang Yunwen smiled again: "This poetry thing is just entertainment, why should Brother Zhao be so serious!" After a while, the younger brother wants to get together with Brother Zhao and talk about this poetry! ”

Zhao Deyan arched his hand, indicating that he knew.

Then it's time for dancing and wine tasting. Zhang Yunwen cautiously moved to Li Yu and Zhirou's side, and said to the two of them: "Two sisters, don't wait for me, when the poetry meeting is over, I will go to find that Zhao Deyan, you go back first!" ”

"What? You really want to go to that sour scholar, what's so good about that sour scholar! Zhi Rou said a little unhappily when she heard this.

Li Yu next to him persuaded: "Sister Rou, don't be like this, Brother Yunwen must have something important, let's go back first later!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yunwen couldn't wait to hug Li Yu and kiss him. However, the eldest grandson, who had ears on the side, couldn't help but shake his head.

Seeing that the sky was a little dark, Li Shimin asked Qu Gong Wuji to go down and said to everyone: "Everyone, it's getting late, that's the end of today, let's get together another day!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all said goodbye to Li Shimin and left.

Zhang Yunwen saw that Zhao Deyan was about to leave with Pei Lian, and immediately called softly: "Brother Zhao stay!" ”

Zhao Deyan saw that it was Zhang Yunwen, and remembered that he had just said that he would look for himself after the meeting, so he stopped and looked at Zhang Yunwen.

Pei Lin glanced at Zhang Yunwen and left slowly.

"Brother Zhao is talking here!" Zhang Yunwen pulled Zhao Deyan and walked outside the palace, but he took a different path.

"After listening to Brother Zhao's poems today, I know that Brother Zhao has great ambitions!" Borrow it with Ling Yi and blow the sails on the clouds. 'Brother Zhao wants to go straight to the clouds, so he has the matter of direct advice in front of the palace and the matter of this poetry meeting. Brother Zhao knows that with your current identity, it should be difficult to enter this poetry club, but Brother Zhao came in, borrowing the momentum of Lord Pei and wanting to enter the eyes of His Majesty. I don't know if what the little brother said is right? Zhang Yunwen said to Zhao Deyan while walking.

Zhao Deyan's face was pale, and he was silent.

Zhang Yunwen didn't care, and continued to strike: "It can be seen that Brother Zhao is a person who is extremely keen on fame. But Brother Zhao has not thought about it, today's pretentiousness has left a bad impression in His Majesty's mind! In addition, Master Pei gradually faded out of the imperial court, and Brother Zhao's fame in the future will not be smooth! ”

Zhao Deyan finally couldn't help it, and said loudly: "Zhang Yunwen, don't be complacent!" If you want to say anything, just say it! Why be sarcastic here! ”

Zhang Yunwen was not annoyed, but smiled: "Actually, the younger brother and Brother Zhao fell in love at first sight, and wanted to give Brother Zhao a great fortune and fame, I don't know if Brother Zhao dares to accept it?" ”

Zhao Deyan couldn't help but stop, turned to look at Zhang Yunwen, and said with a hint of nervousness and panic: "What wealth? If it has something to do with Master Pei, then I won't do it! “

When Zhang Yunwen heard this, he patted Zhao Deyan on the shoulder: "Brother Zhao is too worried, the wealth sent by the younger brother has nothing to do with Master Pei, it all depends on Brother Zhao himself." And this fame is not easy to earn, if one is not careful, his life will be in danger, I don't know if Brother Zhao is willing. And if he succeeds, Brother Zhao will definitely be my national hero of Datang. I don't know if Brother Zhao dares to take it? ”

After speaking, he stared at Zhao Deyan with blazing eyes.

There was silence in all directions, white snowflakes spread all around, and thick snowflakes were covered with thick snowflakes on the courtyard walls, rooftops, rockeries, and treetops. Looking up at the sky, I saw snowflakes falling in the sky, but it was much smaller than in the afternoon.

Zhao Deyan looked at Zhang Yunwen's young face. This face is very young, and I heard that it has not yet been crowned. But this face who is a little too young is an important minister of the imperial court, holding four major institutions. Thinking of this, Zhao Deyan couldn't help but feel jealous.

"Master Zhang, I don't know what you mean by wealth?" Zhao Deyan had calmed down, stared at Zhang Yunwen and asked.

Zhang Yunwen looked at the sky, I was afraid that the palace door was about to close, and said to Zhao Deyan: "Let's go, let's talk about it after we leave the palace!" ”

The two of them immediately quickened their pace and quickly left the palace.

"Let's go, go to the natural residence and drink two cups!" Zhang Yunwen said to Zhao Deyan.

Zhao Deyan said: "It's getting dark, and it won't be long before Jin Wuwei's soldiers will come out to patrol!" I don't have any cards or anything like that, and if I get caught by them, I'll have to come out tomorrow! ”

Zhang Yunwen smiled "haha": "If Brother Zhao doesn't even have this bit of guts, what kind of wealth can he talk about!" You see, if you want to be rich, you have to put your head on your waist and think you are dead. Otherwise, Brother Zhao will have been waiting, and after decades of qualifications, he may be able to become a parent official! ”

Hearing Zhang Yunwen's words, Zhao Deyan's head was hot: "Okay!" Lao Tzu is gone! ”

The two of them came to the third floor of the natural residence, and under a lonely lamp, they drank the hot wine on these plates of snacks.

"Does Brother Zhao know about the Investigation Institute?" Zhang Yunwen asked while drinking slowly.

Zhao Deyan nodded, indicating that he knew.

"If you take over this task, you will be a member of my investigation institute, and when the time comes, all the investigators of the investigation institute on the grassland will be under your jurisdiction!"

Hearing this, Zhao Deyan vaguely knew that what he was going to do had something to do with the Turks, so he swallowed a sip of wine and asked softly, "I don't know what the adults want me to do?" ”

"Enter the grassland, go to Jieli's side, and strive for Jieli's trust! And at the same time give him advice! Zhang Yunwen ate a piece of sauced beef and said softly.

Zhao Deyan is not a stupid person, and when he heard Zhang Yunwen's words, he immediately knew what he meant.

"After you gain Jieli's trust, first, you have to find out the confidential news, and second, you want to provoke the contradictions between Jieli and Turki, Turkic and other tribes in the grassland, and try to disturb the entire grassland, so that they can't free up their hands to invade the Tang Dynasty in the south. Well, that's about it, and the rest of the details will not be notified until the internal consultation of the investigation institute is completed! ”

Zhao Deyan pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Lord Zhang, if I don't accept this wealth, will it completely disappear from this world in a few days?" ”

Zhang Yunwen smiled "hehe": "Where is Brother Zhao, will you not accept it in this case?" ”

Zhao Deyan sighed lightly: "Sure enough, it's a fight for fame with his life!" Lao Tzu took it! In the next few days, I will stay in the Tai Academy for a while, remember to inform me when you act! ”

Zhang Yunwen opened a jar of wine. This wine is an ordinary rice wine, and the degree is very low, so it has a unique flavor when you drink it with this appetizer.

"Come, Brother Zhao, for you to get rich and rich as soon as possible, I did this bowl!"

Unconsciously, the first year of Zhenguan passed slowly. However, in these last two months, there have been many major events.

The first is the death of the right servant Feng Deyi. Feng Deyi, who was old and sick, still did not survive the cold winter that came early in the first year of Zhenguan and died. Hearing the news of the death of this old minister, Li Shimin resigned for three days and ran to Feng Deyi's house every day.

Not long after Feng Deyi's death, the news came that Qin Shubao was seriously ill. This battle-hardened veteran general has begun to gradually lose his sharpness, and this year's cold winter is even more of a lingering illness for him. When Zhang Yunwen and Sun Simiao went to his mansion together, they saw Qin Qiong with a thin face.

After Sun Simiao's diagnosis, Sun Simiao said to Li Shimin: "General Qin's illness is the loss of vitality in the body!" You can only replenish slowly, there is no other way! ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately sighed: "In the past, Shubao followed me to conquer the world, and often rushed with arrows, knives and guns, countless injuries, and bleeding several times, I am afraid that the vitality in this body was lost at that time!" After speaking, he comforted Qin Qiong well, sat in front of the bed and reminisced with him about the eventful years of the year.

In addition to the two important ministers of Wen Yiwu, there are also several old ministers who are sick because of the cold winter that came early.

Then, at the court meeting, according to the information of the intelligence agency, the officials of the military department said that heavy snow had fallen on the steppe, and countless livestock had frozen to death, and asked to take the opportunity to send troops to fight against the Turks. This request was opposed by Li Shimin. He said: "I have not long made an alliance with the Turks, and if I strike at it now, I will not believe it; The disaster of benefiting others is unkind; Taking advantage of people's danger to win is not a martial art. Even if the Turkic tribes rebel and there are no animals left, I will not fight in the end, I will be guilty, and then ask for it! ”

Although these words were high-sounding and full of righteousness, Zhang Yunwen knew that it was not that he would not fight, but that the Tang Dynasty was not ready for this battle to destroy the country.

In addition to these big things, there is also a small thing that happens. This little thing is related to Zhao Deyan. It is said that Zhao Deyan lost Zhang Yunwen's face at a poetry meeting, Zhang Yunwen was annoyed and angry, and used his power and connections to drive this gentleman who was going to be referred to in February out of Chang'an and stripped him of his fame. In a fit of anger, Zhao Deyan led several generals to the north to the Turks.

However, Zhang Yunwen, the initiator of this turmoil, was only fined for one year and spent ten days at home.
