Duan Wenchang's second federation was Li Shen.

Li Shen is from the Li family of Zhao County. This is a well-known family, one of the famous "Four Surnames in the Sea". In the magnificent Tang Dynasty, this is also a great family rich in prime ministers, and at the end of the Tang Dynasty, 17 prime ministers have been produced. Li Jingxuan, the ancestor of Li Shen, was one of the seventeen prime ministers. However, by the time Li Shen's grandfather and father arrived, the family had been in the middle for a long, long time. Not only that, Li Shen's father was still a short-lived ghost, and he left his orphans and widows early and ran to the underworld to enjoy happiness. Li Shen gradually grew up under the upbringing and teaching of his mother.

Perhaps because of malnutrition, Li Shen was relatively short, so he was nicknamed "Short Li". However, science has proved that everything that is condensed is the essence, but the short Li Shen is very strong, especially the poetry, which is written even better.

In the Yuanhe poetry circle, where there are many famous artists, the overall achievements of Li Shen's poetry may not be as big as those of Yuan Zhen, Bai Juyi, Liu Yuxi, Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan. However, if each person is limited to one poem and placed among primary school students to conduct a popularity survey, it is estimated that Li Shen may rank first, at least, and tie for first place. Because, Li Shen's poem is quite famous, and the name is "Compassion for Nong": On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops into the soil. Who knows that Chinese food is hard work.

In this way, Li Shen is still a poet who cares about people's livelihood and suffering, yes. However, it should be preceded by a temporal adverbial called "ever", or "occasionally".

The talented Li Shen was admitted to the Jinshi smoothly, but unfortunately, he only got a position as an assistant teacher of the country, which is a boring but promising position. In Chang'an, Li Shen, who has no background, seems to have a bleak future. Li Shen, who has a bleak future, is not in a clear mood, not at all. So, Li Shen, who came on the way, returned to the south of the Yangtze River, where the grass grows and the warbler flies, and returns to Jinling, where the tiger is in the dragon pan.

At that time, Jinling was Li Kuang's world, and it was Li Kuang, the indispensable envoy of Zhenhai Festival. Although Li Jian was very arrogant, he also liked to recruit celebrities, and it just so happened that Li Shen was already a well-known poet at that time. Therefore, Li Jian wanted to recruit him to the shogunate, but unfortunately, Li Shen refused, very simply.

Li Shen's refusal embarrassed Li Jian and was also ugly. Li Jian was very angry, and the consequences were very serious, because Li Jian was murderous. Although he has been an official in Chang'an, although he is a celebrity, although Li Shen cannot be regarded as an ordinary person. However, as a prince of a town, it doesn't seem too difficult for Li Jian to kill him, and it doesn't seem to be much more difficult than crushing a bed bug to death. Therefore, Li Shen, who heard the rumors, only had one choice left: escape.

After leaving Chang'an and fleeing from Jiangnan, Li Shen became duckweed and wandered around until Li Jian was taken off his head.

After the Yuanhe Palace Change, Li Shen finally returned to Chang'an and walked into the Hanlin Courtyard. There, the lonely Li Shen met the equally lonely Yuan Zhen, and the even more lonely Li Deyu, and finally found the organization.

Becoming a pivotal Hanlin bachelor, Li Shen, who was once poor, like Duan Wenchang, forgot his former poverty. In this scientific expedition in the first year of Changqing, he was also bribed and became a lobbyist for the children of the family. It's a pity that his fate is the same as Duan Wenchang, Qian Hui didn't sell him face, and the candidate he recommended fell off the list, unexpectedly!

If it weren't for Duan Wenchang, Li Shen might have chosen to be silent. Wait in silence, waiting for an opportunity for revenge. Duan Wenchang's attack made Li Shen understand that the opportunity is coming, and it is right in front of him! So he didn't have to wait. Charge!

After getting Yuan Zhen and Li Shen, Duan Wenchang smiled and smiled proudly. Now, he is sure that he has the chance to win. Because, behind Yuan Zhen and Li Shen there is a person, a person who is not trivial, this person is their comrade, Li Deyu, a bachelor of Hanlin.

Like Li Shen, Li Deyu is also from that great family, the Li family of Zhaojun; Unlike Li Shen, Li Deyu has a daddy, a very famous daddy. Because, his father used to be Li Chun's most important prime minister, until his death. Perhaps, you have already thought that this person can only be Li Jifu.

It's a shame to say that the majestic father has not been of substantial help to Li Deyu's career. On the contrary, Li Deyu also ate a lot of melons, his father's.

During the years when his father Li Jifu was prime minister in the court, Li Deyu followed the principle of avoidance of ministers' children, left Chang'an, and at the same time, also left the imperial examination, and wandered among the shogunates. It was not until the fourteenth year of Yuanhe that Li Deyu returned to Chang'an, where he had been absent for a long time. Fortunately, Li You has a good impression of Li Jifu, and he also favors Li Deyu, not only letting him enter the promising Hanlin Academy, but also generously rewarding him with goldfish purple belt, which makes people envious, jealous and hateful.

It's a pity that, like Yuan Zhen and Li Shen, Li Deyu's resume in Chang'an is blank. Not only that, but his father, who had been dead for a long time, was still putting obstacles in his way endlessly. In Chang'an before and after the Yuanhe Palace Change, the political hall became a racetrack, and the prime ministers changed like a marquee, but they could be exchanged for exchange, and they were exchanged for exchange, no matter who came to power, they refused to look at Li Deyu squarely. Because, they probably have only one thing in common, that is, they are all political enemies of Li Jifu, and they have all opposed Li Jifu's use of force to cut down the feudal domain for one reason or another.

Yuan Zhen, Li Shen and Li Deyu left Chang'an at about the same time, and returned to the imperial capital at about the same time, and entered the Hanlin Academy together. Yuan Zhen has no prestige, Li Shen has no background, Li Deyu is not the same year, they are infinitely beautiful in front of people, but they are all tasting a cup of bitter wine called loneliness alone. In those lonely times in the Hanlin Academy, loneliness tied them together and tied them tightly together.

Now that Yuan Zhen and Li Shen have launched a charge, how can Li Deyu, as a fellow party member, stand by and watch? What's more, that Li Zongmin, that Li Zongmin, a member of the Zhongshu House, once attacked his father, and now, he has become an obstacle to Yuan Zhen's worship, the biggest obstacle!
