Chapter 421: Scrolls

In the long history of the Tang Dynasty, outstanding figures can be said to emerge one after another.

Zhang Jiuling is definitely an important member of it that cannot be ignored.

Zhenguan has Fang Du, and Kaiyuan has two. Zhang Jiuling, that is, one of the 'two zhangs'...... His political career is not to be repeated, and his status in the literary world alone should not be underestimated. He is the founder of the Lingnan poetry school, and the song "The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time" has been passed down through the ages and has become a good sentence sung in countless people's mouths.

Yang Shouwen didn't expect to meet Zhang Jiuling in this Taibodu.

At this time, Zhang Jiuling is only in his twenties, but in his speech and demeanor, he has already revealed a different demeanor.

During the Tang Xuanzong period, whenever the prime minister was appointed, he would ask: How is his demeanor compared to Zhang Jiuling?

"If the levy is difficult, then I will think of other ways."

Zhang Jiuling saw that Yang Shouwen did not answer for a long time, so he was ready to leave.

Yang Shouwen came to his senses at this time, hurriedly stopped Zhang Jiuling, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, come on board the ship with me, anyway, the ship is very big, and it doesn't hurt to have a few more people." However, we did not simply cross the river, but prepared to take a boat into the Guantang River and go straight to Dantu. ”

Zhang Jiuling was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay...... When we go north, we will also cross the river at Dantu. ”

Yang Shouwen nodded and motioned for Lu Chengzhi to take Zhang Jiuling and the others onto the boat.

"That's my ship."

Mingxiu was on the side, and couldn't help but complain: "Qingzhi, you are too polite, at least you should ask me, the master." ”

"Oh, it's getting late, let's get on board too."

Yang Shouwen rolled his eyes. Unceremoniously went straight to the painting boat.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

For Zhang Jiuling. Yang Shouwen was curious.

This celebrity has left a strong mark in history. To be honest, Yang Shouwen is not very familiar.

His understanding of Zhang Jiuling is more about the song 'Bright Moon on the Sea', and in addition, he doesn't know his deeds.

This is the famous minister of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, who assisted Tang Xuanzong to create the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty.

After Zhang Jiuling's death, it was Li Linfu who took over the phase. Coincidentally, one loyalty and one traitor in history actually intersected with Yang Shouwen. This made Yang Shouwen find it very interesting. At the same time, I also want to know more about Zhang Jiuling.

However, Yang Shouwen will not be too enthusiastic, which will make Zhang Jiuling vigilant.

After he boarded the ship, he was led to the deck by Mingxiu.

On the deck of the bow of the ship, melons, fruits, and wine were placed, and after the two of them sat down, the painting boat slowly sailed away from Tabodu.

"Shiro, where's your aunt?"

Yang Shouwen didn't see Mingxi, and felt a little strange.

Mingxiu took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "My aunt is a disciple of the Five Bucket Rice Sect. It's impossible to walk around with me. She was in the Concubine Temple before, to help us guard the Youxian Palace. Now the Wandering Immortal Palace is done. She has returned to Longhu Mountain. ”

"Dragon Tiger Mountain?"

"Well, Wudou Mi Sect Zhang Tianshi's Mansion.

Now, the Jiangzuo Heavenly Master family is gradually declining, but it is the Heavenly Master branch that has gradually supported the inheritance of the Heavenly Master. My Ming clan was awarded the title of one hundred and fifty generals of the immortals, which was originally the merit of Heming. Now that Master Zhang has gained orthodoxy, we may be edicted. My aunt entered the Tao since she was a child, and she needed to go to Longhu Mountain to receive ordination, and then she could be regarded as a Taoist system. ”

"Oh?"

Yang Shouwen was not very clear about the rituals in the Five Doumi Sect, so he was not very interested.

He smiled and said softly: "Your aunt did not hesitate to practice penance in the concubine temple, and then ventured into the Youxian Palace, I am afraid that it is not just for the "Buddha's Country Record". ”

Mingxiu heard this and was silent!

He glanced at Yang Shouwen, suddenly changed the conversation, raised his glass and smiled: "Come, eat wine, eat wine!" ”

Hmph, I knew it......

Yang Shouwen didn't continue to ask, because this might involve some things in the Five Doumi Sect. He didn't want to make trouble for himself, and the reason why he talked about it was because of Mingxi. I haven't known Mingxi for a long time, and I haven't had a lot of contact. But for some reason, Yang Shouwen was very curious about this cold female crown.

But Mingxi is Mingxiu's aunt after all, and she asks too many questions, so she can't be misunderstood.

Longhu Mountain...... Isn't that the dojo of the future generations?

This religious matter is the most complicated.

Yang Shouwen thought about it, and decided to stay out of the matter!

……

The day is already bright.

But it was gloomy and did not see the sun.

In the middle of autumn, the weather in Jiangnan is unpredictable. Yesterday it was a sunny sky, but this morning it has become a dark cloud.

By noon, it was drizzling.

Yang Shouwen and Mingxiu had to withdraw from the banquet and return to the cabin.

"I've been waiting for you all night, I'm dying of sleepiness...... Let's go catch up on some sleep first, and you can rest too, we still have to walk by water for two days. ”

Mingxiu said goodbye to Yang Shouwen and returned to his room.

Yang Shouwen is also a little sleepy!

Speaking of which, he also hadn't closed his eyes for two days. I got the news in Changshu the day before yesterday, and rushed back to Changzhou day and night, and then hurriedly set off, wearing stars and moons. Although he practiced the Golden Toad Channeling Technique, his spirit was much stronger than that of ordinary people. But with such repeated consumption, even if it is an iron body, it can't bear it.

"Levy Lang stays."

Just as Yang Shouwen was about to return to the room to rest, he was stopped.

The person looking for him turned out to be Zhang Jiuling.

Yang Shouwen was quite surprised and looked at the other party suspiciously. He and Zhang Jiuling only met today, what is the matter with him looking for himself?

"Dare to ask Zheng Shilang, but at the general immortal meeting, is Yang Qingzhi, who is drunk with a hundred poems?"

"Oh, that's down there."

"Ahh Zhang Jiuling's face suddenly showed excitement, and his expression was vivid, just like the appearance of fans in later generations when they met idols. He seemed a little at a loss, and he was busy bowing down, "When the student was in Guangzhou, I heard about the name of Zhengshilang. To be able to meet here today is really, really...... I also ask the priest to bow down to the students. ”

Yang Shouwen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly he was stunned.

He hurriedly stopped Zhang Jiuling. Surprised: "My poem." Has it been spread to Lingnan? ”

"yes!" Zhang Jiuling's face flushed. Looks excited. He said excitedly: "The student heard about the deeds of Zhengshilang in the Assassin's Mansion in Guangzhou some time ago. Fu Zun was full of praise for Ailian, and he often mentioned it in front of students. The students went north this time because of the scientific expedition two years later, so they went to Luoyang in advance to prepare. ”

When Yang Shouwen heard this, he couldn't help but look Zhang Jiuling up and down.

"Is Mr. Zhang going to participate in the scientific expedition?"

"Exactly."

"That's right, I'm going back to Luoyang this time, if you don't dislike it. Just go with me, and you can also take care of it. ”

"Ah, is that really possible?"

Zhang Jiuling's body trembled with excitement.

He took two deep breaths, then carefully pulled a roll of paper from his satchel.

"This is a clumsy work by the student earlier, if the recruiter is free, please correct it a lot."

Hey, am I qualified to correct other people's articles?

Yang Shouwen hesitated, but still took the roll of paper from Zhang Jiuling's hand, and then smiled at him and said, "Don't dare to be right, I will definitely appreciate it." Mr. Zhang must have stayed all night. Why don't you take a good rest first, and then let's talk. ”

"That. The students don't bother the priest. ”

Zhang Jiuling turned to leave, and Yang Shouwen watched his back disappear, and then turned around and returned to his room.

As soon as he sat down, he heard a knock on the door.

Lu Chengzhi's voice came from outside the house, "Ah Lang, have you rested?" ”

"Oh, Hachiro...... Come on in. ”

As Yang Shouwen's voice fell, the door opened.

Lu Chengzhi walked into the house, then closed the door, and said with a smile: "Ah Lang hasn't rested yet?" ”

"Oh, just came back." As he spoke, he raised the scroll in his hand and said, "No, I just got that Jiuling article, and I was saying that I want to appreciate one or two." ”

"Hah, sure enough!"

Lu Chengzhi's face showed a look of sunburn, took the scroll and said: "I know that if he knows the identity of Ah Lang, he will definitely present the scroll." ”

"Rowscrolls?"

Yang Shouwen was stunned, "What is a scroll?" ”

Lu Chengzhi sat down and said with a smile: "This is a fashion in this dynasty, the imperial examination of this dynasty is divided into the Shike and the Ming Jingke. In contrast, Jinshike has the best prospects and the most participants. One of the key points of judging is the quality of the rhetoric. In addition to the chief examination officials, people with status in the literary world can also recommend talents and affect the ranking.

This is called the 'general list'. ”

Saying that, Lu Chengzhi sighed, "I think at the beginning, I also presented the scroll, but unfortunately the words are not good, and no one recommends it." ”

He put down the scroll in his hand and said softly: "However, this Zhang Jiuling is really a person with a heart. ”

Yang Shouwen's previous joy disappeared all of a sudden.

He closed his eyes, pondered Zhang Jiuling's performance, and suddenly smiled.

That Zhang Jiuling has an extraordinary bearing, and he knows that he is a proud person at a glance. He is the same age as himself, and even older than Yang Shouwen. However, the joy he had shown did not seem to be in keeping with his character and bearing.

Hearing Lu Chengzhi say this, Yang Shouwen also understood Zhang Jiuling's intentions.

He wanted to use himself as a stepping stone...... If Yang Shouwen is good friends with him, and then comments a few words, it will be much more convenient to submit the paper in Luoyang in the future. He was born in Shaozhou, and he didn't have any acquaintances in Luoyang, so he needed someone to recommend him.

Yang Shouwen is undoubtedly the best candidate.

If you think about it this way, I am afraid that more than half of the excitement and admiration that Zhang Jiuling showed before were fake.

"Okay, let's not talk about him, Hachiro has something to do with me?"

Lu Chengzhi nodded and said softly: "Ah Lang, I'm here to remind you, judging by the attitude of that Ming Gongzi, I think he didn't come here to send you off." It is estimated that he may go to Luoyang with you, so you should be prepared. ”

"Huh?"

Yang Shouwen was stunned, "How do you know?" ”

Lu Chengzhi smiled slightly and pointed to his eyes, "I've been a county magistrate for three years, and this eyesight is not lacking." ”

Yang Shouwen was silent!

He nodded and said in a deep voice, "Hachiro, I will pay attention to this matter." ”

"Ah Lang has been running around for the past two days, and it is hard to come, so take a rest first, and I will leave."

After Lu Chengzhi finished speaking, he got up and left.

Yang Shouwen sent him out of the cabin, stood at the door, and suddenly shook his head after a while, and said to himself: "It's not a fuel-efficient lamp." (To be continued.) )
