Chapter 82: The Past is Like a Dream 1

"The oriental wind is full of spring, and the willows in Huacheng are sad for a few people", Zi Hou, once, you were sad; Today, I feel the same way. Because, like you, I was also driven out of the capital by that person, that person who was on top. The difference is that you were in your prime back then, and the future is long; Now I am already in the last years of life, and my days are numbered.

Outside the long pavilion, Han Yulao was in tears, this "Wenzong of a hundred generations", at this moment, his face was full of attachment and reluctance. Chang'an, goodbye, hey, I don't know if I can say goodbye to you, Chang'an?

The Tang Dynasty is a magical country, rich in something called a prodigy: Wang Bo and Luo Bin Wang in the early Tang Dynasty, Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi in the Middle Tang Dynasty, Li He and Li Shangyin in the late Tang Dynasty, all of whom were famous prodigies. Our Korean scholar, of course, is no exception, he is literate at the age of three, entered school at the age of seven, and writes essays at the age of thirteen.

Generally speaking, Han Prodigy's childhood should not be too happy, because when he was very young, his father left him, and then his mother. But the premature death of his parents does not seem to have brought too much negative impact to Han Prodigy, because Han Prodigy, who lacks parental care, does not lack fatherly love and maternal love, and this precious father's love and mother's love come from his eldest brother and sister-in-law. Han prodigy is unfortunate because both parents died; Han Prodigy is lucky again, because he has a big brother who loves him very much, and a sister-in-law who loves him even more.

In this way, under the careful care of his brother and sister-in-law, Han Prodigy grew up happily, and unconsciously, Han Prodigy grew up and it was time to go to school. But before going to school, Prodigy Han needs a name, a formal name that can accompany him for a lifetime, not a cat or a dog, nor a leash, or a dog, but a name with meaning and color.

Han Prodigy's eldest brother is called Han Hui, and the second brother is called Han Jie, both of which prefix the word "person", which means to get ahead; "Hui" symbolizes the essence of the collection, and "Jie" symbolizes Geng Jie's uprightness, both of which have good meanings, so what should be the name of the most talented and promising third child of the Han family? This is difficult for the sister-in-law, she racked her brains and meditated, but it was useless to come up with a reason, so she had to move a thick dictionary, ready to use the power of the reference book to choose a beautiful name for her beloved third brother.

The sister-in-law was very busy, and the seven-year-old Han prodigy was also tired to watch. This matter is indeed a bit difficult for the sister-in-law, it seems that only she can go out and do it herself.

"Sister-in-law, don't be busy, I'll call Han Yu!" Seven-year-old Han Shentong said in a childish voice.

"Naming is a big deal, you can't be sloppy, I want to follow you for a lifetime!" The sister-in-law looked solemn.

"The word more is very good, it has the meaning of transcendence, symbolizing the otherworldly, the transcendent and the dusty", the look on the face of the seven-year-old child is very serious and serious.

"Good, good! Let's call it Han Yu! The sister-in-law was surprised and delighted, and hugged the third brother in her arms.

Since then, Han Prodigy has a name, an official name, and a name that will later be famous through the ages, Han Yu!

The prodigy Han Yu is not only smart, but also works hard, and soon, he became a handsome teenager full of wealth. At this time, Han Yu, a subset of scripture and history, was already familiar with his chest; poetry and songs, that is also proficient in everything; As for the article, it is even more familiar and well-known. Han Yu, a talented young man, easily got the talent show and lifted people, so Han Yu, who was less than 20 years old, began to pack his bags and go to Beijing to take the exam.

Han Yue, who is talented, is full of confidence, he believes that with his own knowledge, with his own talent, the title of the gold list, it can be said that he holds the handle; As for the high school champion, it's not impossible. He even began to look forward to the chic and glory of "the spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day", and began to imagine the bustle and prosperity of the long street boasting officials, Qujiang leaving the banquet, playing ball with moon lanterns, exploring flowers in the apricot garden and the inscription of the wild goose pagoda. As for those people from all over the country who went to Beijing to take the exam like him, Han Yu, who was above the top, didn't take them seriously at all!

But no matter how plump the ideal is, it can't stand the most skinny reality: Han Yue has fallen! Those people he once disdained crossed the dragon gate one by one, and some even became champions, top eyes and tanhua, but Han Yu himself finally fell to Sun Shan!

Although the reality is unacceptable, but it can't be unacceptable, Han Yue, who fell behind, felt that he had no face to see Jiangdong's father, and he couldn't face the sister-in-law who was in love with him as a mother and son, so he decided to stay in Chang'an and study well to prepare for the rebattle, but the result of the rematch still disappointed him.

"It's not more than three", Han Yu comforted himself and encouraged himself, and on the other hand, he ushered in his third imperial examination with great expectations and apprehension. The result came out, not the kind that Han Yu wanted.

At this time, Han Yue was already penniless, and Chang'an was a veritable gold cave, without those vulgar and vulgar things, Han Yu, who had a splendid mind, couldn't get mixed up. In desperation, Han Yu reluctantly left Chang'an and ended his "long drifting" life for several years. However, Han Yu did not go back to his home in a gloomy way, but plunged headlong into the eastern capital of the empire, Luoyang. Because, there, he still has a few relatives and friends who are old, and he can often play an autumn breeze, earn some extra money, and prepare enough funds for the next year's entrance examination in Beijing. But Han Yu never dreamed that there, he would meet a person, a woman, the most important woman in his life, his future wife, the Lu family.

Lu's father is a magistrate, the official is not too big, not too small, the key is that the Lu family is a prominent family in the local area, at this time, Han Yu at least no longer has to run around for those yellow and white things, and he has no worries. What's more, the Lu family, who was born in a family of eunuchs, is not only beautiful, talented, and temperamental, but she is also a fan of Han Yu, a loyal and calm fan.

The newlywed Yan'er, when talking at night on the pillow, Lu first affirmed Han Yu's talent, and at the same time solemnly warned his husband that if he failed in three consecutive subjects, Han Yu must have shortcomings, and according to her observation, Han Yu's shortcomings can be summed up in one word, which is "crazy"; To sum it up in two words, it is "pride"; To sum it up in four words, it is "no one in sight".

Lu's swallow warbler sound was heard in Han Yu's ears, but it was tantamount to a slap in the head, which could be said to wake up the person in the dream. For a whole night, Han Yu tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night. The next day, he told his wife that in order to remind himself to guard against arrogance and rashness at all times, he chose a "word" for himself: "retreat".

I don't know if it's time to turn around, or the words of the Lu family have played a role, or the Lu family's forces have carried out a dark box operation, the second year's scientific examination, Han Yu finally got on the list, although the ranking is not too high, not the champion, not the list, not the Tanhua, not even the top five, not the top ten, but the thirteenth. However, Han Yu finally got it, and finally responded to the saying, "Repeat and repeat, and repeat and repeat, and not again and again." Now, Han Yu's road to officialdom is still one step away, the erudite Hongci exam, that is, the palace exam.

I don't know if it's the creation of people, or the heavens will descend on the Si people, Han Yu's palace test road is extremely difficult, just like his scientific research road, the first year fell to Sun Mountain, the second year returned with a feather, the third year was broken and sunk in the sand, and the palace test that others achieved overnight became a flame mountain that Han Yu could not bypass, but Han Yu, who had been defeated repeatedly, gritted his teeth, did not abandon, did not give up, and finally successfully turned the tables in the fourth year, and entered the officialdom.

Despite the stumbles, despite the thousands of turns, in the end, Han Yu still got his wish and stepped into the officialdom of his dreams. However, the sea is ups and downs, the road ahead is long, ahead, what awaits him? Is it full of mountains and flowers along the way, or is it full of reefs and shoals?

Han Yu, who was upright, stepped into the deceitful Vanity Fair with great ambition, and soon won a reputation for being outspoken and daring. But the outstanding Han Yu, in the officialdom of the fly camp and dogs, is so out of place, naturally he has become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of many people, he is excluded everywhere, suppressed everywhere, and the official promotion is slow, the key is that Han Yu also offended the emperor at that time because of a sloppy performance, Dezong Li Shi, those who have ill intentions, took the opportunity to stab him in Han Yu's back, drove him out of Chang'an, and became a small seven-grade sesame official. It wasn't until the glorious Yuanhe era arrived, and the new monarch Li Chun granted amnesty to the world, that our Korean scholars returned to Chang'an, which was haunted by their dreams.

This time, Han Yu met the noble man in his life, Prime Minister Pei Du. Under Pei Du's care and care, Han Yu's official became bigger and bigger, and Han Yu's enthusiasm became higher and higher. Later, Han Yu followed Pei Du and set foot on the bloody Huaixi battlefield. After Huaixi was pacified, Han Yu was promoted to the rank of squire of the Criminal Department because of his military merits and became an important minister of the imperial court. Han Yu still clearly remembers the situation on the day he was promoted to the squire of the Criminal Department:

It was the most proud day of Han Yu's life: he congratulated guests, and all the people who came and went were dignitaries; The voices are boiling, and the ears are full of gossip; Colorful lanterns are hung high, reflecting endless joy and peace; Thousands of bottles of fine wine, endless life pride. At this point in life, what more can a husband ask for? Immersed in it, Han Yu couldn't help but feel a little fluttery, fluttering.

Suddenly, Han Yu found a familiar and slightly unfamiliar figure among the crowd of guests, it was his nephew, Han Xiang. Han Yu couldn't help but be stunned, and then he was overjoyed, he walked in front of Han Xiang in three steps and two steps, took his nephew's hand, and asked long and short questions, shushh

Han Yu's excitement and excitement, we can understand it, because they have not seen each other for many years, many years, not only have they not met, but they have not even heard from each other.

It turned out that Han Xiang took a completely different path from his uncle, and Han Yue was keen to make contributions to Jun Yaoshun; Han Xiang asked for a fairy, playing the world. When Han Yu was up and down in the treacherous officialdom, Han Xiang was leisurely wandering in the embrace of nature, indulging in the green mountains and green waters, and even forgot the way home. Now, Han Yu's career is proud, his nephew, the nephew he hasn't seen for many years, and the nephew who has not heard from him, actually came to congratulate him in person, how could Han Yu not cry with joy?

Han Xiang had a sweet smile on his face, quietly listening to his uncle's nagging. When Han Yu finally stopped chattering, Han Xiang spoke, he asked Han Yu a question, a question that made Han Yu unbelievable: Are you willing to abandon the fame and wealth in front of you, abandon the fame and fortune in the rolling red dust, and ask the immortals with me to ask, to live a life of immortals who are as free as the wind and idle clouds and wild cranes?

Han Yu was stunned, his eyes widened, and he carefully looked at Han Xiang who was in the wind of Yushu, as if he had never known this person. What's wrong with my nephew, now I am proud of my career, like sitting on the spring breeze, like Mu Ganlin, how could he ask such a disappointing question?

Han Xiang smiled slightly, and suddenly sat down, he knew very well that at this time, here, in this situation, how could his uncle listen to his advice. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Han Xiang Yingying stood up and said loudly that she wanted to change a small trick to help everyone present to enjoy the wine.

Han Xiang took a basin casually, walked slowly to the courtyard, leaned over and grabbed three or five handfuls of soil from the ground, put it into the basin, and then stood by the basin with a smile.

Suddenly, a miracle really happened, and a discerning person has discovered that a green sprout like a bean is breaking through the ground. The handful of green shoots like beans grew with the wind, and soon the verdant branches were drawn, and the green leaves slowly stretched, and suddenly two huge peonies bloomed. Red flowers, green leaves, green branches, swaying in the wind, it is beautiful. The guests couldn't help but be amazed, and Han Yu also stood up from his seat in surprise, walked to the peony flower, and took a closer look. Suddenly, Han Yu found that there seemed to be handwriting on the petals of the peony flower, he squatted down and looked carefully, it was two lines of poetry: "Where is the family of Yunheng Qinling, the snow hugs the blue pass and does not move forward." Han Yu raised his head and looked at his nephew with a puzzled look, Han Xiang smiled at him, made a gesture, and then floated away. After that, Han Xiang was like a white cloud in the sky, and he didn't know where he was going.

The Languan Ancient Road connects the peach-red and willow-green Chang'an and the cloudy south, and the important ministers of the imperial court who were degraded by Chang'an, walked through the prosperous imperial capital, and set foot on the Languan Ancient Road, walked along the Languan Ancient Road through the Blue Bridge Pass, walked through the Wuguan, and arrived at the south of the twilight and gloom. Han Yu looked far away, and what caught his eye was the vast Qinling Mountains, the towering Blue Pass, Han Yu's heart suddenly moved, he understood, he understood the peony petals.

"I get it, I get it!" , Han Yu pouted with tears in the corners of his eyes, and muttered to himself, "Han Xiang, where are you?" You okay? ”

"Uncle!" In a trance, Han Yu vaguely heard a soft call, he turned around hesitantly, and through the hazy teary eyes, he saw the familiar figure again.

Outside the long pavilion, on the side of the ancient road, the grass is green. Han Xiang, who was as rich as jade, waved his hand and said goodbye to his uncle.

The blue clouds, the yellow flowers, the tears of the people. The white-haired Han Yu waved his hand and said goodbye to his nephew.

From then on, they will be separated from each other; From now on, they will never see each other again.

However, after all, they each wrote their own legend in their own way, and let future generations firmly remember their names. Han Yu became a hundred generations of Wenzong with his moral articles, jumping at the tip of the pen and the bottom of the heart of the literati and inkmen; Han Xiang, with his chic life attitude, is among the eight immortals of Taoism, and is active next to the incense case of the fine people in the market and offers it to the table.
