Chapter 131: Thrilling
(Two in one, the update is late, forgive me.) )
After the song was played, the applause was thunderous, Xuanzong and the concubine were full of praise, and even Gao Lishi nodded slightly, secretly praising Wang Yuan for some ways, and the Qingping tune played today was the best he had ever heard.
Xuanzong stroked his palms and sighed: "Sure enough, the perfect combination is flawless, I am fascinated by it, and the concubine must be very intoxicated." ”
Yang Yuhuan smiled and nodded: "It's so wonderful, no wonder Wang Yuan has such high requirements for the bamboo flute, Li Guinian's singing voice is naturally beautiful, but Wang Yuan's flute sound seems to be the original tune but doesn't want to be the original tune, but it fits seamlessly with the singing, and it is very in tune." This tune. After the two of them played together, it was like a new song, which was wonderful. ”
Xuanzong said with a smile: "I have relatives in my heart, and what Concubine Ai said is exactly what I think in my heart." ”
Yang Yuhuan looked at Wang Yuan, who was standing below, and said softly: "San Lang, if you can hear this Wang Yuan and Li Guinian play new songs from time to time, it will be a great enjoyment, but unfortunately this Wang Yuan is not a musician, after today, I am afraid it will be difficult to hear in the future." ”
Xuanzong thought for a while and said, "I ask this Wang Yuanken if he is willing to be a musician in the palace, if he agrees, won't he be able to hear it from time to time." ”
Yang Yuhuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "San Lang, don't be like this." This Wang Yuan is a rookie in the literary world Chang'an celebrity, how can you ask him to enter the palace as a musician? Although the musician is not a lowly person, he is not a scholar, and if you bring it up, it will inevitably seem contemptuous. ”
Xuanzong raised his forehead and said: "What I said is that I am confused, Wang Yuan is not famous for his music, his poems are his true ability." So what should I do? ”
Yang Yuhuan said: "San Lang summoned him to the palace, just like that Li Bai, give him a position in the Hanlin Academy, so that he can accompany San Lang to write poems and papers on weekdays, and if necessary, you can also listen to his rhythm, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" ”
Xuanzong nodded slightly and said, "This proposal is not bad, well, I will ask what Lux means, and listen to what he has to say." ”
Yang Yuhuan frowned and said, "Your Majesty will ask him." ”
Xuanzong didn't hear Yang Yuhuan's displeasure, and beckoned to Gao Lishi on his side, Gao Lishi leaned over, Xuanzong pointed at Wang Yuan and whispered: "Lux, I want to summon this Wang Yuan into the palace, what do you think?" ”
Gao Lishi said expressionlessly: "Does Your Majesty want to summon him into the palace as a musician?" This is okay, this person has a very good match with Li Guinian in terms of music, and there will be a wonderful song to listen to when he is summoned. ”
Xuanzong shook his head and said: "That's not possible, Wang Yuan is a rookie in the poetry world, and the music is not the right way, I want to summon him to the Hanlin Academy as a bachelor, what do you think?" ”
Gao Lishi frowned and said, "Does Your Majesty want to give Wang Yuan Hanlin a bachelor just like when he summoned Li Bai into the palace back then?" ”
Xuanzong nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
Gao Lishi was silent, and Xuanzong said: "Is it inappropriate? ”
Gao Lishi said: "Your Majesty is naturally gracious, but Li Bai's matter came first, and everyone was unhappy. When Li Bai was specially recruited into Hanlin, some people in the court said that His Majesty was not gracious and broke the court rules for Li Bai alone. I have a system of imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty, if I have repeatedly given grace, wouldn't it make people think that I don't pay attention to the system of imperial examinations, so that this system is useless? ”
Xuanzong said: "It's not that serious, I just specially summoned Li Bai alone." In addition, this time is only twice, how can it become a sabotage of my Tang imperial examination system. ”
Gao Lishi said: "Your Majesty, this can't be judged by the number of things, one time is already a destruction." What's more, Li Bai misbehaved, and later His Majesty had to expel him from Chang'an. The rumors in the DPRK and China even refer to the fact that His Majesty summoned him improperly at the beginning, and he was not hired by the imperial examination, so he was not a talent used by the imperial court, but he was just a reckless man who did not understand the general situation. Even if you have literary talent, you can't afford to use it. Now that His Majesty is going to summon Wang Yuan to Hanlin again, wouldn't it be those people who provoked him to speak, and this Wang Yuan was just a Fang Ding a few months ago, and he happened to write a few good poems, who knows what his character is? Will it be the second Li Bai in the future? ”
Xuanzong frowned and said: "Lux's words are not completely unreasonable, it's just that this person looks very wishy-washy, and the concubine also asked me to summon him into the palace just now, and I hesitated when I heard you say this." ”
Gao Lishi said indifferently: "Since the concubine Niangniang mentioned it, just treat the old slave as if she didn't say these words, how to determine Your Majesty's self-determination." The old slave just analyzed the matter to His Majesty. There are many talented people in the world, and all of them are gracious, but they can't be giving. ”
Xuanzong nodded and said, "I understand." Turning his head and calling Yang Yuhuan lightly, she listened to Gao Lishi's words, Yang Yuhuan said lightly after hearing it: "The concubine doesn't talk much, but I just think that this person is a talent, as long as he is a talent, what if he is a grace?" But since Lux said so, the concubine didn't say much. ”
Xuanzong finally sensed the displeasure in Yang Yuhuan's tone, and said in a low voice: "Ai Fei, you won't be angry, right?" ”
Yang Yuhuan shook his head coldly and said: "How dare the concubine, the wrestler is thoughtful, but the concubine is not thoughtful." The idea of the concubine is ridiculous, and the concubine is just blaming herself. ”
Obviously, Xuanzong couldn't see it, and he was speechless for a while, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and he was busy coaxing Yang Yuhuan to be happy in a low voice. Yang Yuhuan supported his cheek with one hand, looking like he was ignoring it, and Xuanzong was a little helpless to comfort him.
Everyone in the audience was still talking excitedly about the song just now, Yang Zhao and Mrs. Qin Guo were pretending to laugh, while secretly observing the movements of the concubine and Xuanzong, seeing Xuanzong and Gao Lishi talking to each other, and then the concubine pouted angrily, both of them knew in their hearts that things had encountered obstacles, and it must have been Gao Lishi who obstructed them. If Colliers stands up to obstruct it, this matter will be really difficult to handle.
"Cousin, it seems that the concubine's words did not work, with the concubine's temperament, she will not mention it again, you need to think of a way, today is the best time. After today, it will be difficult. Mrs. Qin Guo said in a low voice.
Yang Zhao scratched his head and said, "Don't you know that the opportunity is rare for a brother?" It is clear that His Majesty has the intention of summoning Wang Yuan into the palace, but Gao Lishi obstructs him. His Majesty could listen to Gaolis's words. ”
"But you can't just sit back and wait for the opportunity to pass away, do something in general, or let the third sister come forward to say a few words?"
Yang Zhao shook his head and said: "No, the words of the noble concubine have not worked, and the words of the third sister are even more useless; Besides, you don't know the taboo of the concubine, when the third sister speaks, Your Majesty doesn't listen, if you listen, won't it make the concubine unhappy? Absolutely not. ”
Mrs. Qin Guo was speechless, of course she knew the virtues of her third sister, Mrs. Qiu Guo, and she didn't want to share a piece of the pie with the little sister of the concubine all the time. The concubine had already noticed that if it weren't for her own sisters, she would have turned her face long ago. The third sister and His Majesty can't tell each other whether there is anything, but in front of the little sister, the third sister must not be allowed to come forward, and this unnecessary contradiction must not be caused.
"That's it, I'll come forward to say a few words to see if it can help, and you can also come forward to help you when you see the opportunity. If it doesn't work out, today you can only look at Wang Yuan's own. ”
Yang Zhao whispered, got up from behind the case and walked to Wang Yuan, stroked his palms and laughed: "Wonderful, wonderful." I have a lot of talents in the Tang Dynasty, and there are endless talents, such as Li Bai and Wang Wei, and there are rising stars such as Wang Gongzi, poetry, music and rhythm are all-encompassing, which is really my Tang Dynasty luck. ”
Wang Yuan smiled and thanked: "Yang Duzhi praised, the villain's carving insect skills, and won the pleasure of His Majesty and the concubine." ”
Yang Zhao smiled, bowed his hand to Xuanzong and said: "Your Majesty, the king of Shengming, under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, all countries will come to the dynasty, and there will be many people in the Tang Dynasty, and it is these talented people from heaven who will serve my Datang." Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. ”
Xuanzong's mind was on the concubine, thinking about how to make the concubine happy, and waved his hand when he heard the words: "What you said is very right, come here, reward Wang Yuan and Li Guinian, and teach me today to open my eyes." ”
The inner attendant sent a few horses of silk and more than a dozen copper coins and placed them in front of Wang Yuan and Li Guinian; Wang Yuan and Li Guinian saluted and thanked for the reward, and the reward was rich, but this kind of thing is not the purpose of today.
Yang Zhao rolled his eyes and said to Wang Yuan: "Wang Gongzi is known as Little Li Bai, Your Majesty loves Li Taibai's poems the most. Li Taibai is uninhibited by nature, and he is very fond of the landscape, His Majesty is very sorry in his heart, and today there is a little Li Bai born suddenly, isn't it God's will? Providence wants His Majesty to be accompanied by someone, and it will be a good story after today. ”
Xuanzong's heart moved, it sounded very reasonable, a little Li Bai came out after Li Bai, and he also gathered by this agarwood pavilion, this situation and this scene seemed to reappear yesterday, but there was some taste of heaven's will.
Mrs. Qin Guo wasted no time in opening her mouth and said with a smile: "When Brother says this, it seems that God has arranged it, I think it is better for Your Majesty to reward Wang Yuan Hanlin as he did back then, so that this good story can be circulated, wouldn't it be good?" ”
Mrs. Han and Mrs. Yu Guo all understood, and applauded and laughed: "Okay, good, this is what you want, Your Majesty is gracious, and as soon as Chrysostom is opened, a good story can be achieved again." ”
Xuanzong couldn't help but be moved when he saw the Yang family sisters mentioning this matter, but when he heard Gao Lishi coughing lightly in his ear, he remembered what Lux said, and was silent for a while.
Yang Zhao said: "Your Majesty, the minister also agrees with the words of several ladies of the country, how about the minister to recommend Wang Yuan to the Hanlin Academy?" ”
Seeing that the Yang family sisters were approaching step by step, Xuanzong seemed to be intent on moving, Gao Lishi couldn't keep silent and said slowly: "Yang Duzhi, how can you recommend someone to Hanlin so casually?" Li Bai was a special case back then, but it was indispensable, why did you embarrass Your Majesty? ”
Yang Zhao said: "How is it difficult? This is a great thing, doesn't Master Gao think that Wang Yuan is a talent? ”
"Of course, it is a talent, but the imperial court has a system of taking scholars through the imperial examination, and Yang Duzhi wants to recommend it, and he also recommends Wang Yuan to participate in the scientific examination. If you are directly recommended to Hanlin, won't it make the people of the world dissatisfied and make Your Majesty infamous? ”
Yang Zhao shook his head and smiled: "How is it infamy?" This matter is obviously a good story of His Majesty's eclectic and virtuous people. Master Gao didn't inquire either, after Li Bai entered Hanlin, everyone in the world rejoiced, and they all admired His Majesty's wisdom in knowing people. Of course, Li Taibai was unruly, and later made some people unhappy and forced him to leave Chang'an, which is another matter. After Li Bai left Chang'an, the people of the world lamented, which was a regret. If Your Majesty can make another exception, it will be a move to boost people's hearts, and I, the Tang Dynasty, will be excited again. ”
Wang Yuan secretly picked his big finger, Yang Zhao was really good at arguing, and what he said was also reasonable. Today's situation is seven or eight points, and he was supposed to recommend himself, but Gao Lishi was in the middle of it, and Yang Zhao had no choice but to confront Gao Lishi. Wang Yuan now has a great affection for Yang Zhao, although the Yang family wants to use themselves, but it takes great courage to be able to argue with Gao Lishi in public for their own affairs.
But listening to Gao Lishi laughed and said: "It's the first time I've heard of Du Zhilang's words, it's clear that he won't go through the imperial examination, but he wants to recommend it directly, isn't this indecent mouth?" If this is the case, wouldn't my Tang Dynasty people have to let everyone go through the camp, so what's the use of the imperial examination system? If Wang Yuan is really talented, he can be promoted to the imperial examination, so why give people a handle? ”
Yang Zhao sneered: "Is it the way to the imperial examination? Did Taibai pass the imperial examination back then? But who can deny that Li Taibai is the name of my first talent in the Tang Dynasty? Not to mention, take the spring election national examination presided over by Li Linfu, the right minister a month ago, there are more than 2,700 people in the Tang Dynasty, and none of them have been lifted. ”
Wang Yuan, who was listening quietly on the side, was nervous, Yang Zhao's words were too much, he was forced by Gao Lishi to be in a hurry, and he was in a mess. As soon as this statement came out, it was going to be caught. And when Wang Yuan heard him say that none of the spring elections in the national examination were successful, he suddenly remembered Du Fulai. Poor Du Fu came for this national examination, but he had to be disappointed again.
Gao Lishi really keenly grasped Yang Zhao's language disease, and said with a faint smile: "It turns out that Du Zhilang has no good impression of my Tang Imperial Examination from the bottom of his heart, and what he said just now seems to be an allusion that Li Xiangguo's spring election and national examination is a farce?" Your heart is not small, do you want to overthrow it with one rod and start anew? ”
Yang Zhao was shocked and speechless, and hurriedly covered up: "I didn't mean that, I just talked about things, and Master Gao didn't need to wear a high hat for me." I am loyal to work for Your Majesty, and when I see a talent like Wang Yuan, I naturally want to recommend it, but I don't have any other ideas, why do you want to set me up, Master. ”
Gao Lishi was about to speak, but Xuanzong shouted with a gloomy face: "Shut up for me." Today is a day to enjoy the flowers, and you are in a state of mind. Yang Zhao, you are really lawless when you discuss the dynasty system in vain and reflect others. Lux, why do you have to be knowledgeable with them, quarrel with Yang Zhao here, what kind of system do you have? Are you deliberately making me feel bad? ”
Gao Lishi and Yang Zhao hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, Yang Guifei and the three ladies of the country also knelt down immediately, Li Guinian and the attendants around him also knelt a lot, Wang Yuan had no choice but to kneel.
The anger on Xuanzong's face slowly dissipated, and he waved his hand weakly and said: "Get up, get up, I just want to accompany my concubine to relax my heart, and have fun with you, you just want to make trouble with these things." Don't you know your mind? I know everything, I just don't say it. If you don't get along, I'll be unhappy. I will not punish you, and I will not mention today's affairs again, and whoever chews the root of his tongue will be killed immediately. Yang Zhao, you are so good to do things for me, don't talk too much about things that are not within your responsibility. I understand all of your loyalty, but do I have to look at their faces to even promote individuals? You don't have to worry too much. ”
Yang Zhao and Gao Lishi agreed in succession, kneeling on the ground.
Xuanzong got up and helped Yang Yuhuan to slowly walk towards the Agarwood Pavilion, and threw a sentence from afar: "Lux passed on my will, summoned Wang Yuan to the Hanlin Academy as a bachelor, no grade and no rank, and served in the palace." Appointed to the roster of the government affairs hall and to carry out the procedure. ”
Colliers said in a loud voice: "The old slave commands." ”
Wang Yuan raised his head and saw Yang Zhao's ecstatic gaze, but he didn't expect that in the end, Xuanzong still agreed to the recommendation of the Yang family, the holy will is unpredictable, and Xuanzong's mind is really elusive.
Over there, Xuanzong whispered to Yang Yuhuan: "Ai Fei, are you happy now?" Follow your Yang sisters' wishes. ”
Yang Yuhuan stomped his feet and said, "San Lang, what are these words?" The concubine is also for your sake, although the wrestlers are intimate, but after all, they don't understand the rhythm of poetry and music, and no one around Your Majesty talks about things of interest, and it's always boring. That Wang Yuan is a talented person, accompanying you to write poems and listen to music, it is also good for the dragon body, it is better than sitting with the concubine every day. ”
Xuanzong smiled: "I just like to sit with you, so what? ”
Yang Yuhuan took a sip and stopped talking, and the two walked slowly and disappeared behind the flowers.
……
In the mansion of Yang Zhao in Shengye Fang, after lunch, Wang Yuan and Yang Zhao sat opposite each other in the flower hall, the tea was fragrant, the atmosphere was quiet, and it was peaceful. Yang Zhao put his leg on the knee of a Silla maid kneeling in front of him, and the maid rubbed Yang Zhao's thigh with her thin little hand.
"Enjoy it, don't be restrained, you are not used to it now, you will get used to it in the future." Yang Zhao saw that Wang Yuan was sitting precariously, and the Silla maid sent to serve him around him was kneeling in front of him in a daze, so he smiled.
Wang Yuan is not used to this tune, although he knows that it is very common for officials and eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty to give concubines to each other and serve visitors with maidservants, but if he really wants to do this in front of outsiders, there are still some obstacles in his heart.
"Du Zhilang, today's incident really scared me, I didn't expect Du Zhilang to almost feel guilty for me, I was scared at that time." Wang Yuan took a sip of tea.
Yang Zhao smiled and said: "Not only are you scared, but after I spoke, I was also shocked, those things that shouldn't have been said were all old things like Colliers, which provoked me to speak." If he hadn't come out to stop what was happening today, it would have been easy to do. ”
Wang Yuan nodded and said: "I can see it too, but I don't know where I offended Gao Lishi, he seems to be prejudiced against me."
