Chapter 022: Go to Chang'an

In the middle of spring, some flowers have already bloomed, but the entire Luoyang City is emerald green, which makes people feel comfortable.

Su Wuming married two beautiful women, and he really didn't want to leave Luoyang City.

But he had already promised his father-in-law Nangong to return to Beijing to take the exam, so how could he not go at this time?

So after grinding with the two ladies for a few days, he took his luggage and went to Chang'an with Tang Xiong.

Chang'an has been prosperous since ancient times, it is the ancient capital of many dynasties, and it has become the largest city in the world in the Tang Dynasty, with a population of more than one million, and many people want to go to Chang'an City to try their luck, or enter the pilgrimage to worship the prime minister, or the talent is famous all over the world, of course, in a place like Chang'an, it is not easy to live, so many people often come by virtue of the excitement and return with failure.

Now that Datang is coming to an end, I don't know if the capital Chang'an is still as prosperous as it was back then!

From Luoyang to Chang'an, it will take about a few days, Su Wuming and Tang Xiong are not in a hurry, and they are really happy to enjoy the scenery and have fun along the way.

And because it was the time to take the exam at this time, they also met a lot of students along the way, but these people were all admitted to the Shixiucai, not like Su Wuming to take the Dali Temple Review, and what discussion countermeasures those people discussed, Su Wuming couldn't understand it, so although they were on the same road, sometimes they couldn't talk together.

However, after listening to those scholars and scholars talk for a few days in a row, Su Wuming also understood a little, the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was divided into four sessions, the first test of poetry, the second test of discussion, the third test of countermeasures, and the third test of scriptures.

After Su Wuming learned about these, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved, he loved classical literature very much, but he just understood and could understand it, compared with the ancients, it was really far from it, fortunately he took the Dali Temple review this time, as long as he was smart enough to solve the case, these scriptures or something, he wouldn't take the test.

After a few days of continuous travel with these scholars and scholars, they finally entered Chang'an City.

At this time, although Chang'an City is not as prosperous as Su Wuming imagined, but compared to Luoyang City, it is still more than it, and when Su Wuming stepped into Chang'an City, his heart couldn't help but suddenly surge.

Su Wuming looked at the bustling streets and the pedestrians coming and going, and secretly decided in his heart that he must make a name for himself in this place and make a name for himself in the world, so that the entire Tang Dynasty would know that he Su Wuming.

After the stirring hearts slowly calmed down, the scholars who had come with them said goodbye to them, because they were going to meet their teachers in order to open up the official path.

This move has been done since ancient times, and those officials are also happy to do so, after all, these scholars and scholars who have not yet obtained fame have surrendered to their disciples, and when they become officials that day, they are their protégés, and if their protégés are all over the government and the opposition, then it will be easy to do things.

Before Su Wuming came, his father-in-law Nangong Fu gave him a name post, asking him to take the name card to meet Li Deyu, and said that it was Luoyang City Assassin Shi Nangong Fu's son-in-law who asked to see him, Li Deyu and Nangong Fu had some friendship, with this relationship, it was much easier for Su Wuming to get the position of Dali Temple Judge.

It's just that after Su Wuming entered the capital, he didn't go to Li Deyu, and the reason is very simple, when Tang Xianzong, the Niu and Li party struggles have begun, in this forty-year struggle, the forces of the two factions are one after another, no matter which side they are attached to, they will only become victims of the two factions in the end, since Su Wuming understands this, how can he involve himself?

So after coming to Chang'an, Su Wuming and Tang Xiong first found an inn to stay, and then played around and waited for the exam to start.

His name had already been reported to the imperial court by Nangong, so when the exam started, someone would naturally notify him, because there was no need to worry about the exam, and the two of them had a great time.

On this day, after having a good time outside, I just entered the inn, and I saw a group of scholars and scholars surrounding a man who looked ugly, was slightly fat, and was not very tall.

The man was about thirty years old, and he was dressed in a rather gorgeous dress, and there was a pride between his eyebrows, and his arrogance, combined with her strange ugly appearance, gave people an indescribable sense of disgust.

This is the feeling that Su Wuming felt when he saw this man for the first time, of course, the reason why Su Wuming had this feeling may also be related to the great diligence of those scholars and scholars, he thought that this person was so ugly, and these scholars and scholars were still attentive, so this person must be the heir of some high-ranking official and noble, and these scholars and scholars came to tie up with him in order to be able to prosper in official fortune.

For such a man, how could Su Wuming not hate it!

But soon, Su Wuming found that things were not as he thought.

Because those scholars and scholars all called him Feiqing, Wen Feiqing!

When Su Wuming heard Wen Feiqing's three words, he was suddenly shocked, because he suddenly remembered who the man in front of him was, who could have such a strange and ugly appearance, and be admired by so many people, and be called Wen Feiqing, in addition to Wen Tingyun, the originator of the word between flowers, what else would it be?

At this time, Su Wuming looked at the man again, and he didn't feel disgusted at all, not only did he not hate it, but he also had a lot of admiration, he really hated to run forward and drink with him immediately, and talk to him as friends.

But Su Wuming is a very sensible person, he knows that a talent like Wen Tingyun, if you rush over like a fan, he will not have any impression of you, let alone make friends.

Therefore, even if he knew that the man in front of him was Wen Tingyun, Su Wuming still remained calm, and asked the innkeeper to serve him wine and food, and he and Tang Xiong sat and chatted, as if Wen Tingyun was not taken into account at all.

Not long after, Wen Tingyun's side suddenly made a commotion, because everyone wanted Wen Tingyun to compose a poem on the spot.

In an era like the Tang Dynasty, this was a normal thing, so Wen Tingyun did not shirk it, he took a glass of wine and drank it all, and then then said:

Where is the spring breeze? Beyō Rao herbs.

Turning the flag, wilting and blowing pheasants.

Yang Fangli nine gates, surging into Lansun.

Fight for the white fan, and steal the favor of the lord from time to time.

As soon as Wen Tingyun's poem mocking the spring breeze came out, those scholars and scholars applauded, and said that Wen Tingyun's poem wrote the spring breeze very vividly, and it was really a rare good product to prove the good spring breeze with the actions of the five spring breezes.

Everyone praised this, Wen Yuan was not happy or sad, and still drank, and at this time, a voice suddenly came from not far away: "Brother Tai's mocking spring breeze is indeed a good poem, but I'm afraid there is another metaphor!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Wen Tingyun immediately stopped the glass of wine in his hand, he looked at the place where the sound came from, and then saw a beautiful young man and a big man sitting opposite each other drinking, and the beautiful young man was looking at him at this time and smiling.

Wen Tingyun was shocked in her heart, and then got up and walked towards Na Jia Gongzi: "Brother Tai, can you hear the hidden meaning in my poem?" ”

Jia Gongzi bowed slightly, then pointed to the table next to him, and said, "There is no name in Xiasu, please sit down!" ”

Wen Tingyun glanced at Su Wuming, then sat down and arched his hand: "Wen Tingyun!" ”

Su Wuming arched his hand: "Wen Feiqing Wen Bacha, look up for a long time!" ”

Wen Tingyun saw that Su Wuming had admired himself for a long time, and was quite proud, and said, "You're polite, I don't know what Brother Su heard from my poem?" ”

Su Wuming was not in a hurry to answer, he first drank a glass of wine, and then whispered in Wen Tingyun's ear, Wen Tingyun's face changed suddenly, and at this time, Su Wuming got up and invited: "How about going into the room with me to drink?" ”

Wen Tingyun did not postpone it and said yes.

The three of them got up and went upstairs together, leaving those scholars and scholars there confused, thinking about what the meaning of this mocking spring breeze was, and what Su Wuming said in Wen Tingyun's ear.

But after the three of them entered Su Wuming's room, Wen Tingyun immediately smiled and said: "Brother Su's words just now really surprised Zaixia, I didn't expect you to hear it." ”

Su Wuming smiled lightly: "I heard that Brother Wen was good at satirizing the powerful, and you added a mocking word in front of that poem, so the meaning of the poem can be imagined after a little thought; Fighting for the white fan, stealing the favor of the lord from time to time, although the spring breeze is good, but the emperor still likes the kind of small fan that can often enter and exit the sleeves although there is no good wind; The villain is in power, and the gentleman can only enter the Lansun and be with the grass and trees. ”

After listening to Su Wuming's words, Wen Tingyun suddenly stretched out his hand and patted Su Wuming's shoulder, and then said very solemnly: "The parents of those who gave birth to me, and Brother Su who knows me; You're right, I do mean irony, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, but those eunuchs are still serving aside, it's really unpleasant! ”

Wen Tingyun said this situation, Su Wuming naturally knows, Tang Wuzong ascended the throne as the emperor with the help of villains like Qiu Shiliang and Yu Hongzhi, and now that he has just become the emperor, he naturally has to appoint these villains.

Wen Tingyun is not used to these phenomena, and it is okay to use poetry to satirize, of course, the premise is not to be seen.

After the three of them sat down, Su Wuming didn't persuade him, because he knew some of Wen Tingyun's temperament, and it was not good to persuade him, so they only drank and chatted and became long-term friends.

After Wen Tingyun chatted with Su Wuming, the feeling of seeing each other was even stronger, and he couldn't help but change the title of Brother Tai to Brother Su, and Su Wuming called Wen Tingyun Brother Wen.

That night, the two drank heartily, but Tang Xiong couldn't interject all the time, so he had to drink alone.
