Chapter 35: An Invitation to Hunt (2)
Gu Yuanxi then remembered that Li Bai was not only a world-famous "poet immortal", but also once worshipped under Pei Min, one of the "sword masters" known as one of the "Three Uniques of the Tang Dynasty". In the article "With Han Jingzhou", he once said: "Fifteen good swordsmanship, all over the princes." Thirty articles, the past to the prime minister. And when he was young, Li Bai had a hot temper, and in a cockfighting event, he made a lot of slashes in a row. The so-called "supporting the body in the white blade, killing in the red dust,". Cutting people with knives on the street in the downtown area, he is an out-and-out martial arts veteran boy.
When Li Qi saw Gu Yuanxi's expression, he felt very funny. He added loudly: "In addition, when Wang Changling was twenty-seven years old, he threw his pen from Rong and roamed the northwest frontier. Cen Shen is currently under the account of Gao Xianzhi, the deputy capital of Anxi and the commander of the four towns. Before Wang Zhilian's death, he also served as a secretary in the shogunate of Guo Zhiyun, the former Longyou Jiedu, in the Kaiyuan period. β
Seeing Gu Yuanxi's increasingly surprised expression, Li Qi shook his head and said with a provocative smile: "As for that Gao Shi, he served in the Longyou Army in the past two years. Last year, because of the recommendation of Zhang Jiugao, the younger brother of Zhang Jiuling, the Taishou of Xiangyang County and the envoy of Shannan Dongdao, he left the army to prepare to enter Beijing to participate in the poetry competition. Of the great poets you cited, I am afraid that only Wang Wei and Wang Maha were true literati. β
He pondered for a moment, and then continued to add: "But even Wang Majie once went out to preach comfort in the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan as the right collector and supervisor of the imperial history. And at that time, he served as the judge of the Liangzhou Hexi Festival in the shogunate of Cui Xiyi, the governor of Liangzhou. The ancient masterpiece "Make the Stopper" was made at this time. Do you really think that my Tang family boys can only chant poems and do it, and they can't be sick **? β
Gu Yuanxi was embarrassed, he didn't expect this Tang Dynasty man to be so fierce. Unexpectedly, these famous poets in history have a macho career in the army and fighting in the border area. When he thought about this, he was ashamed.
Rao was like this, he still stubbornly said: "It's just that this safari is too dangerous. If it's just hunting some hares and pheasants, this is a fierce jackal, tiger and leopard! My sister is a weak little woman, you call her ......"
"What weak woman?" Before Gu Yuanxi's words were finished, he was interrupted by Gu Yuanqing on the side. She showed an extremely dissatisfied look, glared at Gu Yuanxi and said, "The third brother thinks that I am the weak and can't help the wind in the Wei and Jin eras, and I only know how to write poems and embroider flowers. β
Gu Yuanxi was speechless. In his previous life, in the 21st century, he always hated the kind of women after the Song and Ming dynasties who were curbed by etiquette and religion, and lived a closed life of embroidered women and husbands and children without leaving home. I have been appreciating the openness of the atmosphere of the Tang Empire. It's just that now he regrets it a little, why are women in this era so bold and free?
Gu Yuanxi was very helpless, other pig's feet traveled through the past and could be done by high-ranking officials with a word and a poem, and beauties could be hugged. Lao Tzu also made a poem and a poem, but he didn't get anything, and he was despised by his sister. When he thought about it, he was discouraged.
"Okay. All right. Go ahead. Go ahead. It's a big deal, just make that jackal, tiger and leopard a delicacy. Gu Yuanxi raised his hand in surrender and made an expression of lovelessness.
"This is a great opportunity for you to make a difference." Li Qi's eyebrows fluttered and said: "Although the scale of this hunting meeting is not very large, there are also many eunuchs and nobles, high-ranking officials and dignitaries. If you can get their recommendation, it will be of great benefit to your future. β
The Tang Dynasty official election system not only has the emerging imperial examination system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but also the system behind this poetry competition. The system was extremely prosperous in the Kaiyuan period of Tang Xuanzong, and once surpassed the imperial examination to become the mainstream official election system, and it gradually declined after Tang Wenzong Taihe. In addition, there is also a door shade system for the children of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, which makes the starting point of the career of the children of high-ranking officials of the scholar clan still higher than that of ordinary people. In addition to entering the government through the imperial examination and the system, ordinary children also have the two roads that have been left since the Han and Wei dynasties.
Li Qi hesitated a few steps, hung his head and said: "As the king of the first rank and the third rank of Taichangqing, I actually have a recommended quota. It's just that since the first year of Xiantian, in view of the turmoil caused by the excessive power of the clan in the early Tang Dynasty, the emperor canceled the recommendation privileges of most of the clans for the sake of the long-term stability of the Tang Dynasty......"
Gu Yuanxi Khan. What in view of the excessive power of the clan in the early Tang Dynasty, for the sake of long-term peace and stability. In the final analysis, it is not to prevent you royal children from forming a gang.
Gu Yuanxi can also understand Tang Xuanzong's approach, after all, Li Longji himself ascended to the throne by killing his aunt and forcing his father and brother, so he naturally wants to prevent his children and grandchildren from doing the same. The power of the Tang Dynasty clan became insignificant from the beginning of Tang Xuanzong. Except for the Yongwang Li Lan after the Anshi Rebellion, there were several other princes who took advantage of a certain situation to get the opportunity to rebel, and almost did not affect the overall situation, which has to be said to be Tang Xuanzong's foresight. Of course, this situation also affected the inaction of the clan when the world was divided in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, and under the bullying of Li Maozhen, Han Jian, Zhu Wen and others, it fell into the tragic situation of "people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat".
Gu Yuanxi sweated carefully for this King of Jianning. This emperor's mouth is a little bigger. If you keep leaking your royal secrets to others, aren't you afraid of any adverse consequences? However, when he thought that the reason why he revealed it in front of his brothers and sisters was that he was all concerned about his future, he couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart and said: "Sure enough, good friends, for a lifetime!" β
Li Qi didn't know Gu Yuanxi's inner thoughts at all, he still said with a radiant look: "Fortunately, there is still this hunting meeting." Each child of the royal family can bring five friends with him, regardless of status. This is a good opportunity, Saburo, you must perform well! β
"I don't know which dignitaries and nobles will go to this hunting meeting?" Gu Yuanxi showed a serene and leisurely face, sat on the table and drank tea.
"Not bad." Gu Yuanhe, who rarely spoke on the side, also waved his hand and interjected: "If it's like those scoundrel aristocratic children of Fang Cai, my younger brothers and sisters won't go." β
Seeing Gu Yuanhe's honest and honest appearance, Li Qi couldn't help but smile: "The master of this hunting meeting is Yang Yupei, the eighth sister of Concubine Taizhen, the wife of Qin Guo. β
"Wait a minuteβ" Gu Yuanxi Huo Ran stood up and asked, "When Miss Cui left, she said that she would hunt in Cuihua Mountain a few days later. Could it be that this chili girl is also going? β
Li Qi naturally didn't know what Chili Mei meant. But Wen Yan also put on a bitter gourd face, nodded and said: "She is the daughter of Mrs. Han and the niece of Mrs. Qin Guo, so she naturally wants to follow." β
"That's not going to work!" Hearing this, Gu Yuanhe walked up to Gu Yuanxi in a panic and waved his hand: "That's not good, my younger brothers and sisters won't go." With the character of that Nizi, she didn't know that she was secretly retaliated. β
Seeing that Gu Yuanxi also put on a sad face, Li Qi comforted: "It's okay. Although Cui Shuzhen is rude and willful on weekdays, in front of her three aunts, she pretends to be well-behaved and sensible, and she doesn't have to worry that she will retaliate against you on the spot. β
Gu Yuanxi said helplessly: "I'm not worried that she will retaliate against me on the spot, I'm worried that she will secretly make a trick." It's not scary to be upright, but I'm afraid that the dark arrow will hurt people. β
Li Qi also shook his head and smiled bitterly, he really stayed away from Cui Shuzhen, a woman, and there was really no good way. Immediately changed the topic and said, "You don't have to be careful. This time, it's better to find a way to make a splash at the hunting party. In particular, perform well in front of several promoters who have the right to recommend. β
When Gu Yuanxi heard the news that Cui Shuzhen was also going, he couldn't help but feel stunned, and asked weakly: "Then which nobles have the right to recommend?" β
"Hmm." Li Qi thought for a moment, and then replied seriously: "Although the scale of this hunting meeting is not large, there are many royal families who accompany it. Among them, the royal family with the right to recommend is the heir of Prince Huixuan, the son of Prince Xue, King Xue, Hongluqing, and Li Xuan; Li Chengning, the son of the son of the late King of Pi; There are also the heirs of the late Prince Huiwen, King Qi, and Li Zhen, the foreign secretary of Zongzheng. β
Subsequently, he was afraid that Gu Yuanxi would not understand, and he couldn't explain in a hesitant manner: "Prince Huixuan is His Majesty's late fifth brother Situ and King Xue Li Ye. The heir of King Xue, Li Xuan, is the son of King Xue. And Prince Huiwen is His Majesty's late fourth brother, the crown prince, and Li Fan, the king of Qi. This heir Li Zhen is actually the son of Li Ye, the king of Xue, and the younger brother of Li Xuan, the heir of Li Xuan, the king of Xue. Because King Qi had no children, Li Zhen was succeeded to King Qi as his heir, and he was the heir of King Qi. β
Gu Yuanxi was greatly moved. This Li Qi was afraid that he would not hear clearly, and he couldn't care about his identity, so he made a mistake in the name of several of his uncles to explain himself. In ancient times, it was extremely rare to respect and humble the etiquette and respect for relatives.
Li Qi saw the kind of affectionate gaze in Gu Yuanxi's eyes because he was moved, and suddenly felt creepy. He coughed lightly, and then continued calmly: "And Li Chengning, the heir king, is the second son of the late Sikong and Li Shouli, the king of Sui, and his sister is Li Nunu, the princess of Jincheng who is close to Tubo. His father, Li Shouli, was the second son of Li Xian, the prince of Zhanghuai, and the grandson of Emperor Gaozong. In that year, the four brothers Li Shouli, King of Ning, Li Xian, King of Shen, Li Fan, King of Qi, and Li Ye, King of Xue, were known as the 'Five Kings', which were extremely noble. All three of them were heirs to the throne, inherited their father's privileges, and all had the power to nominate scholars and officials. β
He said to Gu Yuanxi, who was confused, with deep meaning: "These three people are one of the few royal families in the royal family who have the right to recommend. Saburo, you have to cherish this opportunity. β
"Few? Apart from them, which other royal families have the right to report? Gu Yuanxi asked sincerely with the mentality that he would ask if he had any doubts.
Li Qi gave him a blank look, as if he blamed him for not asking too much. But he still answered for him: "In today's royal family, there is still the right to recommend, in addition to these three people, there are actually quite a few. There are very few people who can really use this power at will, except for my father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and my eldest brother, King Guangping. Among them, His Majesty's own sister, Yuzhen eldest princess Li Zhiying, has the heaviest power, she is His Majesty's sister-in-law, and she has a very close relationship with His Majesty. He likes articles and strange people, and he has become the most famous promoter of the imperial capital today. In Zhongnan Mountain, there is a special village built to receive famous and talented people, such as Wang Majie, Li Taibai was recommended by the eldest princess of Yuzhen and was appreciated by His Majesty. β
"In addition, it is the three sons of His Majesty's eldest brother Jean Emperor." After a slight hesitation, Li Qi said with a solemn expression: "Let the emperor be His Majesty's eldest brother, Li Xian, King of Song." Among them, the eldest son, Taifuqing, and Li Jin, the king of Ruyang, is the eldest grandson of His Majesty Emperor Ruizong. He is good at music, good at bows and drums, and has a beautiful posture, and is known as 'the first beautiful man in the clan', and is very popular with His Majesty today. If he talks about power, he is probably only under the eldest princess of Yuzhen in the royal family. However, the king of Ruyang is uninhibited and extremely alcoholic, and Li Bai, He Zhizhang, Li Shizhi and others are collectively known as the 'Eight Immortals in Wine', and in recent years, they have been perennial and have not done anything serious. As for his two younger brothers, the third brother Li Lin inherited his father's title as the king of Ning and served as a secretary and external supervisor. The fourth brother Li Xuan inherited the title of His Majesty's second brother, Li Yu, the prince of Huizhuang, as the heir of King Shen, and served as the secretary of foreign affairs of Honglu. β
"I've said so much for you, do you understand my painstaking efforts?" After Li Qi finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and smiled at Gu Yuanxi.
Gu Yuanxi only felt goosebumps, his scalp was numb, and he nodded weakly.
Gu Yuan, who was on the side, was extremely angry, and said coquettishly: "Third brother, Li Lang has worked hard for you. Don't be a fool of yourself, you have wasted Li Lang's kindness. β
When Gu Yuanxi heard this, his eyes widened, and he stuck out his big tongue in shock and asked, "You-you...... You...... What do you call him? Plum...... Li Lang? You...... You've ...... Evolve to ...... Is this a relationship? β
