Chapter 84: Political Enemies

After Tang Ning entered "Pipa Xing", a system prompt came: "Congratulations to the host for successfully exploring, completing the main quest, and getting the reward: Pipa Girl's Pipa Skill." ”

Seeing this task, Tang Ning felt extremely frustrated, but it was finally stronger than Liu Lanzhi's Konghou skills, after all, the pipa could still be bought, and the Konghou thing was not available in the musical instrument stores and Taobao that Tang Ning had been to anyway, so he didn't have a chance to use it to pretend to be forced...... (At first, I thought it was blowing, but then I checked it and found that it looked like a harp.) )

Because I don't want to see those faces that seem to be caring, but are actually just to see jokes, so Tang Ning tried his best not to show up in front of people along the way, but unfortunately sometimes if you don't look for trouble, things will come to you.

On this day, Tang Ning had just settled in an inn when a man came over and reported, "Master, there is someone who wants to see you." ”

What Tang Ning is most annoying about now is seeing people, so he waved his hand impatiently and said: "No, no, no one will come!" ”

The guy persuaded him with some embarrassment: "Master, you'd better meet him, I feel that this person seems to be from the government." ”

"People in the government? I haven't done anything lately, have I? Tang Ning muttered to himself, and then he thought of another question, so he asked the man, "By the way, why do you say that he seems to be from the government?" Is there something wrong with his official uniform or honor guard? ”

The guy shook his head and said, "That's not it, this person is not wearing an official uniform, and he didn't say that he is from the government, but the villain feels like a master in the government." ”

Hearing the guy say this, Tang Ning suddenly felt even more curious, so he said, "Then you invite him in." ”

After a while, the guy led a middle-aged man wearing a Confucian shirt and an extraordinary temperament walked in, Tang Ning took a look, and sure enough, as the guy said, this person looked like he had been in the government all the year round, and at this time the middle-aged man took the initiative to ask: "May I ask you are Lu Ping?" ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "In the next place, may I ask who you are?" ”

The middle-aged man didn't answer, but glanced at the guy next to him first, Tang Ning suddenly understood, and said to the guy: "You go out first, and then guard the door, and don't let anyone in." ”

After the guy left, the middle-aged man spoke: "In Xia Hanbang, it is under the door of the king of Zhongshu. ”

Tang Ning thought about it in his mind for a while, and then asked tentatively: "Dare to ask, but is it the apricot by the Wanshu River, the new Wang Shilang?" ”

Han Bang nodded in surprise and replied, "Exactly, I didn't expect Mr. Lu to read this poem." ”

"Wang Shilang's poems have always been very fond of Xia, especially this spring song is often recited." Tang Ning replied modestly and respectfully, thanks to the study of junior and senior high school Chinese textbooks over the past year, it is estimated that there should be no problem in Tang Ning's mastery of ancient poetry to break into "Good Chinese Poetry".

Although there are not many poems written by this Wang Ya Wang Shilang, there are still a few more classic, and in his official career, he is much smoother than those great poets of the Tang Dynasty, serving three emperors, and finally achieved Zhongshu Shilang, Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, equivalent to the prime minister, but the ending is more miserable, and he was beheaded after the "Manna Change". (It's not Sima Zhao's time, it's from the Tang Wenzong period.) )

"Since you are familiar with Wang Shilang, it's good, this time I came to represent Wang Shilang has something to deliver to you." Han Bang said in a deep voice.

Tang Ning hurriedly replied respectfully: "Mr. Han, you have something to do, just ask." ”

Unexpectedly, Han Bang didn't say what he wanted him to do, but handed him a piece of paper and said, "I don't know this song "Pipa Xing", have you ever heard of it?" ”

Tang Ning took it and only glanced at it, and said in his heart, do you still need to hear it? I can basically memorize it. But what does this have to do with Wang Ya? You are a Chinese scholar, and you send people from afar to mock me as a small businessman, you won't be so idle, right? Therefore, Tang Ning still pretended to be shocked, angry, and humiliated when he saw this poem for the first time, as if he was forcibly suppressing his anger and asked: "Who is the Jiangzhou Sima of this poem?" ”

Regarding Tang Ning's reaction, Han Bang nodded with satisfaction and replied: "Xiangshan monk Bai Letian! Then he instigated: "Hey, I didn't expect that the world-famous Bai Lotian not only seduced a married woman in a grand manner, but also wrote an article to walk around the world, which is simply too deceitful, even I, an outsider, can't stand it!" ”

"I said why my friends have been talking and mysteriously when they see me recently, so that's what happened!" Tang Ning said as Han Bang spoke.

"Then I wonder how Mr. Lu plans to deal with this matter?" Han Bang asked.

Tang Ning thought for a moment, and then replied, "When I go back, I'll get rid of this guy who doesn't abide by women's morals!" ”

"That's all?! Doesn't Mr. Lu want to take revenge on Bai Letian, the culprit? Han Bang asked maliciously.

At the same time, a prompt came from the system to stimulate the side quest: cooperate with Wang Ya, the squire of the Chinese book, to suppress Bai Juyi through this matter.

And also gave the background information of this incident: in the tenth year of Yuanhe (815 AD), Pinglu Jiedu made Li Shidao send people to assassinate Wu Yuanheng, the prime minister who advocated Pingfan, and Cheng Pei Du in the imperial history. The capital was shaken, and there was a lot of discussion everywhere. The group of eunuchs and the old bureaucracy, who were in power at that time, remained calm and did not rush to deal with such a major matter. Bai Juyi was very angry, he knew that he was not in the position of admonishment, but he still went to the first place to strictly arrest the murderer in order to enforce the law and discipline. So the first Emperor Shangshu asked for the urgent arrest of the thieves. In fact, Bai Juyi just thought that the assassinated Prime Minister Wu Yuanheng should not be allowed to be on the streets, but he didn't have any other ideas, but he didn't expect to anger his political enemies.

Bai Juyi's news soon spread throughout the capital, and there were both agreeers and opponents of Bai Juyi's move. Xianzong believed that his actions could not be punished because he was worried about the country, so he asked him to think about it behind closed doors. Bai Juyi had no choice but to retreat and live in seclusion in Zhaoguofang. However, unwarranted accusations followed, and instead of praising him for his enthusiasm for state affairs, those political opponents said that he had "overstepped his duties" -- he was talking about government affairs before the officials, and he was doing work that he should not do, which was an act of transgression. Some people added fuel to the fire, saying that his mother fell into the well and died while looking at the flowers, but Bai Juyi wrote a lot of poems about the flowers and the well, which hurt filial piety, such a person is not worthy of being a doctor of Zuo Zanshan to accompany the prince to study, and should be expelled from Beijing. As a result, Bai Juyi was demoted to the history of the state thorn. Wang Ya, a scholar from Zhongshushe, then made up for the knife and told the emperor that a person like Bai Juyi should not govern a state and county, so he was then demoted to Jiangzhou Sima. But it was obvious that even if he was demoted to Sima, he did not achieve Wang Ya's ultimate goal, so this time he sent his subordinate Han Bang to contact Tang Ning, intending to use this matter to suppress Bai Juyi again!
