Chapter 224: You Shanxi Village
The scenery outside Chang'an City is pleasant, but after Li Deyu came with a group of people, Su Wuming and Wen Wan'er's interest in playing greatly decreased.
Li Deyu was surrounded by everyone and walked symbolically for a while, admired the scenery, and then stopped to chat, the content of the chat did not have much new meaning, but how those officials touted Li Deyu, how to persuade Li Deyu and Master Li not to work too hard, and so on. And people like Li Deyu, who are keen on party disputes, are naturally very interested in these sycophants.
However, when these people were patting on the back, Li Shangyin didn't say a word, he was not a smuggler, he was attached to Li Dang just because he wanted to do some work, and now he is in the secretary province, in order to show his strength.
Although his position in the secretary province is not high, the secretary province is a very valued department in Chang'an City, and he is very confident in his talents, so he feels that he will be able to do something good.
If Li Shangyin's thoughts were known by Su Wuming, Su Wuming would definitely sigh secretly for him, Li Shangyin is talented, and his talent is high enough to support the entire late Tang Dynasty, but it is a pity that he is sandwiched between the two parties of Niu and Li and has become a victim of their party struggle, otherwise with Li Shangyin's knowledge, how can he not even have a nine-rank official rank now?
When those officials slapped their horses, Su Wuming didn't say anything, and even showed a little disdain, which made Li Deyu very angry, and he also vaguely realized that today's arrangement might not achieve the expected effect.
Li Deyu is a person who loves talents, after Nangong Yin informed Li Deyu that Huhai Sanren was Su Wuming, Li Deyu did hesitate, Su Wuming refused to attach himself to him a year ago, and now after entering Beijing, he is even more busy with his own affairs, and he didn't even send a gift to his house, so it is difficult to receive it under his command.
If he informed the emperor Li Yan of this matter, Li Yan would have to give Su Wuming a promotion, but a person who was not his own, how could Li Deyu tolerate letting him be promoted?
But Su Wuming is really a talent, and he is reluctant, so he thinks about it several times, and wants to test Su Wuming again, but he can't go straight to Su Wuming to ask, and finally discussed this method with Nangong Yin, pretending to meet by chance.
Now seeing that Su Wuming has no intention of becoming inflammatory, Li Deyu has given up on gathering Su Wuming, not only giving up on collecting Su Wuming, but he is also ready to teach Su Wuming a hard lesson.
It's just that he can't be angry for no reason, until he saw Li Shangyin, he had a calculation, Li Shangyin is a famous talent in Chang'an City, what if he uses Li Shangyin to insult Su Wuming?
After thinking of this, Li Deyu suddenly smiled at everyone: "Stepping out has always been an elegant thing, and everyone is also a scholar and a scholar, why don't you leave a poem here today?" ”
This sentence is faintly ironic, others are indeed Jinshi and first, but Su Wuming is not, he entered Dali Temple because of a poem.
Wen Wan'er showed an unhappy look on her face, but she didn't dare to do anything.
As soon as Li Deyu made a proposal here, the officials and entourage over there agreed one after another, and after agreeing, they immediately understood what Li Deyu meant, this is to humiliate Su Wuming.
Su Wuming naturally understood what Li Deyu meant, but he didn't get angry, and after smiling indifferently, he said: "Lord Li and the others are all Jinshi and No. 1, but the lower officials are not, so the lower officials will not participate in this poetic matter, so as not to insult your ears with the poems of the lower officials." ”
Li Deyu was going to insult Su Wuming, if Su Wuming didn't participate, what was the point of them composing their own poems, and at this time, Li Deyu also realized one thing, that is, Su Wuming's talent is there, even if he himself is not necessarily his opponent, if he doesn't do as well as Su Wuming's work, wouldn't it be a big loss?
So at this time, Li Deyu smiled lightly: "It's okay, it's okay, since Master Su feels that he is not a Jinshi and the first, then how about letting Li Shangyin compose poems with you, although Li Shangyin is a Jinshi and the first, but the official rank is not as high as you, the two of you don't have to pay so much attention to poetry, it should all be an exchange, how about it?" ”
After everyone heard Li Deyu's words, they immediately understood, are they Su Wuming's opponents when they write poems? Su Wuming relied on a poem to enter the Dali Temple, and later heard that he had also made a lot of poems in the Jianghuai area, and all of them were not good.
Li Shangyin listened to Li Deyu's words, but he didn't feel much, he was a poet, and it was also an elegant thing to exchange poems with others.
Su Wuming saw that Li Deyu refused to let go of himself, and also picked Li Shangyin to compose poems with him, and after laughing secretly in his heart, he immediately said: "Brother Li's poems have always been admired in the future, and it is really a happy thing to be able to communicate with Brother Li, good, good!" ”
Su Wuming said very arrogantly, for a while people couldn't understand what was going on, just now he said not to do it, why did he hear that he was going to communicate with Li Shangyin, he was full of pride, could it be that he said not to do it just now, he looked down on them people, so he disdained it?
Li Deyu and the others suddenly turned blue, they didn't expect to be tricked by Su Wuming.
However, Li Deyu will not let Su Wuming get his wish, if the two of them really exchange poems, even if Li Shangyin's poems are better than Su Wuming's works, then Su Wuming is afraid that he will not be able to bear a little insult, and if he loses in the hands of Li Shangyin, he will not lose face at all.
So at this time, Li Deyu said: "Poetry is an elegant thing, but today the two of them will write poems, why don't you gamble on the lottery?" ”
When Li Shangyin heard this, he was about to excuse himself, but at this time, Su Wuming smiled and said, "Okay, I don't know what kind of lottery Master Li wants to bet on?" ”
Li Deyu frowned slightly, he didn't expect Su Wuming to agree so happily, as if he was confident about this matter, which made Li Deyu feel a little unhappy in his heart, as if he had been deceived.
After glancing at Li Shangyin, Li Deyu's heart sank slightly, this Li Shangyin is a small official, and he has nothing of value on his body, and he can't even take out a lottery, and the literati write poems, and they are not like the ordinary people in the market to gamble on some indecent things, otherwise even if they win, they will become a laughing stock if they spread it.
After thinking about it, Li Deyu reached into his arms, took out a jade pendant, and said: "This green jade was rewarded to me by the emperor, and today I will use it as Li Shangyin's color head, if you win, this jade pendant will be given to you." ”
After Li Deyu finished speaking, Li Shangyin looked slightly shocked, and hurriedly said: "My lord, this is something that the emperor has rewarded you, how can you use it as a bet for the lower officials, no." ”
Li Deyu frowned slightly, he didn't want to take this thing out, but the words had already been spoken, how could he take it back?
"Needless to say, it's settled, Master Su, I don't know what your color head is?"
Su Wuming stretched out his arms and said with a light smile: "Xia Guan came in a hurry, there is nothing valuable on him, why don't I bet on me as a person, if Xia Guan loses, let you dispose of it, what?" ”
Everyone didn't expect Su Wuming to use himself as a bet, and they were surprised for a while, Li Deyu pondered for a while, and said: "Okay, it's decided, everyone is here for the spring outing today, you can write it with this, you can play freely, time, a stick of incense." ”
After Li Deyu finished speaking, an official lit a stick of incense very diligently, Li Shangyin glanced at Su Wuming, and said, "Lord Su, please!" ”
Su Wuming nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and then ordered someone to bring a pen and paper, and Li Shangyin over there had also begun to grind.
Li Shangyin is a talented man who writes poems very quickly, Su Wuming is not a talent in this regard, but fortunately, he has more than a thousand years of knowledge in later generations, so he quickly thought of a poem.
The two sides completed it overnight, almost at the same time, and when Su Wuming found out that Li Shangyin had also finished writing, he couldn't help but admire him even more, this is the poem manuscript he already had in his belly, but Li Shangyin thought it in his head on the spot!
After the two sides had written it, it was taken out and read by an official, who first read Li Shangyin's poem as follows:
The wandering warbler drifts and is uneven, and Du Mo is not self-sustaining.
How can Qiaoxiao have no original intention? Good times don't always have good times.
The wind is morning and the dew is cloudy and sunny at night, when thousands of doors are opened and closed.
I couldn't bear to listen to the bitter spring, where are the flowers and branches in Fengcheng.
This is a poem of sad spring, sad spring bitterly, people can't bear to listen, but if you taste it carefully, but it is also like the author's own sentimental sadness, Li Shangyin is now almost to the age of standing, but his ambition is not able to sway, Huai Cai is not encountered, and the meaning of bosom friends is difficult to find.
This poem was chanted during the spring outing, which was a bit out of place, but Li Shangyin is a sentimental poet, and he writes poems only by heart, no matter what the occasion.
Even so, I have to say that this is a good poem, a good poem that can be passed down through the ages, Su Wuming nodded his head in appreciation after listening to it on the side.
Then, an official picked up Su Wuming's poem and read it:
Mo laughs at the farmer's wine, and the guests are full of chickens and dolphins in the harvest year.
There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.
The flute and drum follow the spring society closely, and the clothes are simple and ancient.
From now on, if you are allowed to ride the moon idlely, you will knock on the door with a cane all the time and night.
This is Lu You's "Tour of Shanxi Village", which describes a bright landscape painting in spring, which is very compatible with the scenery of the here and now; As soon as this poem came out, everyone present was shocked, they were all literati, and they naturally heard that this poem was a good poem, and it was a very good poem.
After Li Shangyin listened, he muttered to himself, and then his face was happy, as if he had an understanding.
Su Wuming saw Li Shangyin's face overjoyed, knowing that his goal had been achieved, Su Wuming knew Li Shangyin's experience very well, so he wanted to use the sentence in the poem to persuade Li Shangyin, everything will always pass, and if you don't want to do it now, it doesn't mean that you won't want to do it in the future.
