Chapter Forty-Nine: Talented

Fame is a very wonderful thing, although it can't be seen or touched, but as long as you live in the society, fame is an indispensable thing, in short, fame is the evaluation of the whole society on you, if your reputation is not good, then you will not get the recognition of the society, no matter what you do is difficult, on the contrary, if you have an excellent reputation, then in the interaction with others, you will get the other party's bonus points invisibly, so that it is easier to achieve your own goals.

In ancient society, more attention was paid to fame, and many people were even willing to give up family affection, wealth, etc., in order to win the name of a lifetime, even if it was the emperor who was the son of heaven, he also hoped to leave a hundred years to come, so that future generations could remember their achievements, all of which can be regarded as the scope of fame.

Although many people think that he is unfilial, and even regard this incident as a joke in the capital, it is undeniable that there are still many people who sympathize with Li Xiu and regard him as an infatuated person, just like the tail life who died holding the pillar in Zhuangzi.

At the small lantern party, Li Xiu received so many love tokens, if there was no Chai Shao to reveal his identity, then as long as he didn't propose marriage, even if his identity was known in the future, it would not be a big deal, but Chai Shao chose to reveal his identity when Li Xiu just got so many love tokens, and did not leave him any time to prove himself, of course, Li Xiu can say that he only accepted it out of politeness, and did not plan to ask for marriage, but this kind of words must be believed?

Sure enough, after Li Yuan heard Chai Shao's words, his face immediately changed, and he also remembered that Li Xiu had left the house because of a woman, but it had only been more than a year, and he had accepted so many women's love things, which showed that he didn't take the woman who died because of him to heart at all, and it was shameful to be such a merciless person.

At the same time, the eyes of the people around him looking at Li Xiu have also changed, from the appreciation just now to indifference and contempt, they have also heard about Li Xiu at the beginning, and now they know Li Xiu's identity and origin, and then look at the thick stack of love handkerchiefs in his hand, I feel an indescribable irony.

As for the women who threw the handkerchief to Li Xiu before, they were even more remorseful, and their eyes looked at Li Xiu with a little anger, as if they wanted to get back the handkerchief they had just thrown to Li Xiu.

Among all the people present, only Princess Pingyang and Ma Ye knew that Li Xiu was not that kind of person, but they wanted to open their mouths to defend Li Xiu several times, but they found that no matter what they said, they seemed so pale and powerless.

As for Chai Shao, who was standing beside Li Yuan, he sneered proudly, as long as Li Xiu was allowed to sit in the name of injustice today, then he would be spurned by all the nobles, and even His Majesty the Emperor would be disgusted with him, so that this kid would never want to have a bright future in the future.

Everyone present, including Li Yuan, was waiting for Li Xiu's defense, but what everyone didn't expect was that Li Xiu stood there indifferently, no matter what kind of eyes others looked at him, he was very calm, and he had no intention of defending, and finally Li Yuan couldn't help but speak: "Li Xiu, what do you have to say?" ”

"Your Majesty, Minister~ There is nothing to say!" I saw Li Xiu groan slightly, and his words also made Chai Shao smile, but Princess Pingyang and Ma Ye were both anxious, even if Li Xiu defended that he would not propose marriage, even if not many people believed it, but at least he showed his attitude and laid a foundation for turning over in the future, but Li Xiu didn't even have a defense, which almost made him sit on the name of indifference.

Li Xiu didn't defend himself, which was also unexpected by Li Yuan, but he thought that Li Xiu had nothing to say, so he couldn't help but snort coldly at the moment: "It's getting late, Captain Li better go back and rest early!" ”

Although Li Yuan's words were polite, he was actually driving Li Xiu away, you must know that he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he can let him, the emperor, personally issue an expulsion order, I am afraid that Li Xiu is also the first person since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. However, the eyes of the people around him who looked at Li Xiu did not have any sympathy, but all of them were like indifferent knives.

In the face of Li Yuan's expulsion and the contempt of others, Li Xiu's face was still as usual, only to see him salute Li Yuan, and then turned to leave, one step, two steps, three steps......

Just when everyone thought that Li Xiu had accepted his fate and began to talk about it, Chai Shao was also fantasizing that Li Xiu's name of indifference would spread throughout Chang'an City the next day, suddenly he only heard Li Xiu, who had left, chanting:

On New Year's Eve last year,

The flower market is lit up like day.

The willow tops on the moon,

People about after dusk.

On New Year's Eve this year,

The moon and the lights are still the same.

I don't see last year's people,

Tear-soaked spring shirt sleeves.

The last film of this song "Shengchazi Yuan Xi" writes about last year's Shangyuan Festival, and just four sentences create a hazy and quiet, graceful and soft artistic conception, and the next film writes about the pain of lovesickness on New Year's Eve this year. "The moon and the lamp are still the same" and "I don't see last year's people" contrast, expressing the lyricist's heavy and long thoughts for his past lovers, combined with Li Xiu's experience, it is simply written for him.

When Li Xiu first began to recite, there were other people's voices on the field, but when he read "The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk", the whole lantern festival suddenly became silent, everyone was listening to the poem recited by Li Xiu, and when the last sentence "I don't see last year's people, tears wet spring shirt sleeves" When recited, there were many sentimental female relatives who shed tears on the spot, but when they looked at the person who was chanting with teary eyes, they found that the other party had already walked out of the door and disappeared into the night.

After a long time, Li Xiu suddenly woke up at the small lantern party after leaving, and Li Yuan was the first to speak: "Good poetry, although the words are plain, but it is extremely sad, and a few crosses have already outlined the experience of a pair of bitter men and women. ”

Li Yuan's praise finally detonated the audience, and everyone began to discuss the poem that Li Xiu had just recited. If Li Xiu heard their discussion, he would probably immediately burst out laughing, because what he was reciting was not a poem, but a poem, but the poem was neatly worded, and it looked like a poem.

It is precisely because of this that after discussing the wording and artistic conception of this poem, the people present quickly led the topic to Li Xiu, the author, and no one doubted that Li Xiu copied the verses, because this poem was written about his own experience, but he was so young, and he made such a masterpiece in such a short period of time, this kind of talent can be compared with Cao Zhi, who became a poem in seven steps.

"On New Year's Eve this year, the moon and lights are still the same. I didn't see last year's people, and my tears wet the sleeves of my spring shirt. Princess Pingyang also repeated the second half of the words softly at this time, and her face also showed sadness, and only after a moment did she sigh and said, "Others can deceive people, but the feelings in the poem can't deceive people, it seems that Li Xiu is indeed very affectionate towards that woman!" ”

The other people present, including Li Yuan, also had the same idea as Princess Pingyang, just now they thought that Li Xiu was a heartless person, but just this sincere poem completely reversed their impression of Li Xiu.

The aristocratic girls on the field were all staring at the direction of Li Xiu's departure, their eyes were blurred and sad, infatuated and talented, such a young handsome man was simply the most ideal husband, but unfortunately they missed it, only the few aristocratic girls who had thrown their handkerchiefs to Li Xiu before showed happy and shy expressions, fantasizing that Li Xiu would be able to come to the door to propose marriage in the future, but thinking of Li Xiu's infatuation with the deceased woman, it made them turn from joy to sorrow.

How...... How can it be? Chai Shao couldn't accept this sudden reversal at this time, obviously he had already won the game, but Li Xiu actually reversed the situation completely with a poem, everyone on the field, including Li Yuan, was praising Li Xiu, and even he found that Princess Pingyang was also like those girls on the field, staring at the direction of Li Xiu's departure in a daze, which made him even more jealous, and he couldn't wait to kill Li Xiu with his own hands.

"Okay, Sanniang, you are also tired, go back with you for your father, and you Aiqing will continue to enjoy the lanterns and drink!" Li Yuan suddenly coughed lightly at this time, he also misunderstood Li Xiu just now, and drove him out in person, it turned out that he was wrong, but he was the emperor, even if he was wrong, it was right, of course, at this time, his perception of Li Xiu in his heart was completely different.

And when Li Yuan said the above words, he deliberately glared at Chai Shao fiercely, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have made a fool of himself in front of everyone. Chai Shao was also bitter in his heart at this time, and he could only bow his head deeply when he felt Li Yuan's gaze, just now Li Yuan only said that he wanted Princess Pingyang to return to the main hall, but he didn't mention him at all, obviously he was already angry with him.

"Yes!" Princess Pingyang bowed slightly at this time, and returned to the main hall with Li Yuan at the moment, but when she left, her eyes once again inadvertently looked at the direction where Li Xiu left, she and Li Xiu have known each other for a long time, and Uncle Ma has known him for a longer time, but the two have never found out that he still has such a literary talent, has he been hiding clumsy, if this is really the case, then how many talents does Li Xiu have that are not known to outsiders?

On the quiet country road, Li Xiu walked slowly by the moonlight, but at this time he was full of wry smiles, he didn't want to pretend to be so forced, but he was forced to a dead end by Chai Shao, and he had no choice but to use the song "Sheng Chazi" to solve the siege, but as soon as this poem came out, I am afraid that it will not be long before his name will spread all over the city, and then it will not be so easy to maintain this peaceful life.
