Chapter 198: The Wind Rises in Chang'an City
If you want to say that place is a hub for news, taverns - that's the answer that many people blurt out without thinking about it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But in this Datang, if you have to be specific, then there will be such an answer: the tavern in Chang'an. As a political, economic and cultural center, Chang'an gathers elites from all walks of life from all over the world. And most of them are literati, so in those ordinary restaurants and teahouses, you can see scholars drinking wine everywhere and telling stories from the south to the north.
Four days after Luo Yan's lecture, a tavern in Chang'an City.
"I said, have you heard, who is the new doctor of Golden State Studies?" Someone said to the people around him with a mysterious expression.
"Jinzhou is hundreds of miles away from us, and state studies have nothing to do with us, who cares about this. If there is any beautiful lady in Golden State, you tell me, I am interested in listening to it. If you say it well, it's not impossible to invite you to a drink. Obviously, this man's pretense of mystery did not attract the attention of others, but it led to a few meat words, which caused the drinkers to laugh for no reason.
This person who was swaggering was also anxious, and shouted: "Since you are not interested in this, then I said that this matter has something to do with Assistant Teacher Luo, who has done everything in Chang'an this year, I don't know if you are interested." After speaking, he looked at the people who laughed at him with a smug face.
Not to mention, this trick really works. Perhaps outside of Chang'an, Luo Yan is just a personal name. But in Chang'an, the word Luo Yan represents a celebrity.
He has been promoted, resigned, fought, taught, and even took the prince to farm. With such a rich life experience, if you don't say your name, outsiders will think that it is something that was done by a great Confucian in the dynasty. But the one who accomplished this was only a young student in his early twenties, and the people liked this tune. is such a legend, and the status of the hero of the legend is not low, so it is more talked about.
Now that I can hear Assistant Teacher Luo, someone has already listened to it.
"Assistant Teacher Luo, wasn't he sent to Youzhou? Oh, by the way, some time ago Wang Junkuo defected, and it is said that he suffered from the fish in the pond. You say so, this Golden State's new doctor is him? With the news lagging, he asked incredulously.
Seeing that he had succeeded in arousing the minds of everyone in the tavern, this person suddenly said: "Alas, it's a pity, it's a good story, but there is no drink." That's it, let's bring some spare money tomorrow, so that I can get a few catties of wine from him, and let's talk about it again. "This means, since you have just said that you want to invite wine, you can't talk and don't count.
Immediately there was a lot of scolding in the tavern, but those who had that good thing didn't care about a few pennies of spirits. Yao Yao shouted to the shopkeeper: "Fight a pound of wine for this guy, and record it in my account." After speaking, he didn't forget to threaten the talker who was waiting for the price to sell: "If you don't say it well, be careful that the master will beat out not a drop of the wine you eat." Alright, I'm supposed to invite your wine now, so I'll talk about it later. ”
Since this person is not only about money, he is naturally like a benefactor in the Red Mansion, and the golden knife horse sits opposite this person, looking at it with a gossip on his face.
The man waited for the wine to come, and poured it into the glass. Ignoring the turbidity in the wine, he raised his head and swallowed the wine in one gulp. It's not enough to drink it all, I have to smack my mouth, and taste it again that is not cold, and even a little sour, and then put down the wine glass and said: "I want Assistant Teacher Luo to go from Lantian to Youzhou, and it can be regarded as a critical order." I didn't want to go for just a few months, and then Wang Junkuo fled. According to the law, none of them escaped from the governor's mansion of Youzhou to the officials. Naturally, Assistant Teacher Luo, who was Sima, could only be demoted obediently. ”
In fact, everyone doesn't want to hear this sentence at all. Wang Junkuo's defection was covered up very much, and the people only knew the result, and there were only some guesses about the specific process. But Luo Yan arrived in Jinzhou, with his temperament, did he get the history of Jinzhou again?
"But it was Assistant Teacher Na Luo who became Dr. Luo, and he actually talked patiently about learning. I've heard that the level is quite high. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, what Lao Tzu wants to hear is how Assistant Teacher Luo does things. What is the matter of lecturing, it is nothing more than that people are younger, but knowledge is there, what is there to say. ”
"This big brother, don't worry. Listen to me. Speaking of this Assistant Teacher Luo, no, Dr. Luo, when he was lecturing in Jinzhou a few days ago, he actually proposed to carry out poetry reform. Although I don't know very much, just yesterday, my brother-in-law from Golden State came over and happened to tell me about it. Although I don't know much about it, according to my brother-in-law, this matter is a rookie in the literary world, and if you lose, you will be ruined. It's very wicked. "This guy who bragged about it was just a little bit when the scholar from Golden State was chatting, and he cheated on a drink here, but he didn't know more details.
Seeing that everyone was coming excitedly, and they were about to return in disappointment, suddenly a voice came out of a small corner of the tavern: "If you invite me to dinner, I will tell you everything Dr. Luo did in Golden State that day." If you don't understand something, I can explain it to you. ”
I originally thought it was another cheater, but looking at this person dressed as a scholar, thinking about the thin skin of the sound of reading, it is not a lie. The one who invited the wine just now has not left at this moment. Hearing this scholar say this, the body that had just stood up sat down again. Then he looked through the crowd and said to the scholar: "Don't be that scholar, don't you deceive me like this guy." You say it first, and I'll invite you to the big restaurant for a meal. If you don't believe me, you can ask me about Zhou Dalang's name, there are still a few markets around here, and there is still some credibility. ”
This scholar was exactly what he had heard in the state school that day. At this moment, seeing that Zhou Da Lang swore so much, he no longer hid it, and repeated what Luo Yan said that day in words that these people could understand.
Of course, these people listen to stories just for fun. How can Luo Yan understand so much of what he said, and after listening to the words of this scholar with a demented face, there was a person in the audience who had never read a book at all, and asked very unhappily: "Just say it directly, this Assistant Teacher Luo made such a fuss, will anyone suffer in the end." Or maybe he doesn't want to be a doctor of state studies anymore, and wants to continue to find a smaller official to do it. ”
In the past year, the official has become smaller and smaller, and there is no one left. In the concept of ordinary people, it is the best way to measure a person's situation by the size of his official position.
When the scholar heard this question, he also scratched his head. Seriously, he really didn't know who would be unlucky in the end except Luo Yan. Therefore, it is also to tell the truth: "This matter must have caused an uproar in the literary world." But at this time, it's really hard to say who is going to be unlucky. The whole thing is aimed at him alone, so if you say who will be unlucky, this Dr. Luo must be the most likely to be unlucky. ”
In the eyes of the people of Chang'an, although Luo Yan's ancestral home is Luzhou, he is also half of Chang'an. At this moment, I heard that Luo Yan might have to suffer, where is he willing to follow, and they all blow their beards and stare at each other. It seems that he can't get along with Luo Yan, who is the scholar in front of him.
was also frightened, and the scholar said a little timidly: "It's not that I'm looking for trouble with him. Think about how many readers in the world, this poetry reform is to completely cut off the road that everyone has walked before, and let them take a new path. To give it to you you you don't want to be not. So it's useless for you to stare at me. ”
The scholar's boundary reminded a lot of heat, so they also laughed and laughed, and no longer looked in the direction of the scholar. Only Zhou Dalang walked up to the scholar and said in a deep voice: "I still don't understand what you said today. Let's go, I'll take you to the restaurant in Changle Fang at this time, let's talk to me while eating you, why this Luo school book will be attacked. ”
After speaking, he pulled the scholar's sleeve, and at the same time had more than a dozen dollars in his hand. When he passed by the shopkeeper, he slapped it on the table and said, "Fang Cai's wine money, together with this scholar's food money." If it's not enough, I'll make it up to you next time. After speaking, he didn't pay attention to anything, and forcibly pulled the scholar who was still carrying the package out of the tavern.
There are still a few places in Chang'an, and this is also the case. Soon, however, the people who had been listening to a mess in the tavern just now filled up the whole story in their own way, and began to cheat on wine somewhere else.
In this way, within a day, several versions of Luo Yan appeared in Chang'an City to carry out poetry reform.
Some people say that Luo Yan is the three fires of the new official, and he wants to subdue Jinzhou Prefecture in one fell swoop in this way, and then make some political achievements and recall him back to Chang'an. Some people also say that this is purely Luo Yan's desire to be famous and crazy. You said that how could there be an article coming out for more than a year, and suddenly such a thing happened, not to be famous, but to do something.
As for the other versions, they are either talented and beautiful or scholars, and they simply put the legendary stories they listen to on weekdays on Luo Yan's body.
The scholar from Jinzhou, in the past few days, suddenly discovered that Luo Yan was so well-known in Chang'an - the streets and alleys were full of all kinds of Luo Yan's stories. Of course, the good and bad things in the past have been picked up. Hearing these slightly exaggerated stories, the scholars of Golden State knew why Luo Yan was so confident to be their backer before they came.
I had a good impression of Luo Yan for a while, but after listening to the real poetry reform, I was still a little worried. Luo Yan's current status is mostly in officialdom. But the literary world and officialdom are two different things, if Luo Yan can't get through the difficulties this time, and wants to make achievements in literature in this life, it will be a fool's dream.
As time went on, the whole event spread more and more widely, and finally one day, the peace was broken. (To be continued.) )
