Chapter 61: Wang Zhonghei Returns to Beijing
Gao Shi and Cen Shen were famous Biansai poets in the Tang Dynasty and the most famous Biansai poets in Chinese history.
When it comes to poetry, people will first think of Li Bai and Du Fu, because they are poets and poets. However, when it comes to Biansai's poems, people will first think of Gao Shi and Cen Shen, rather than Li Bai and Du Fu.
Although Li Bai and Du Fu are two monuments of ancient Chinese poetry, which are admired by future generations, but in Biansai poetry, people are more interested in Chong Shi and Cen Shen.
Although Gao Shi and Cen Shen are not as famous as Li Bai and Du Fu, they are also famous poets in Chinese history, they actually came with Du Fu, Li Changguo really didn't expect it, he was very surprised, and he was very happy.
The more such people came, the more happy Li Changguo became, and he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "I've seen the two." ”
"Gao Shi has seen General Li!"
"Cen has seen General Li!"
The two of them thought that it was a great honor to be so valued by Li Changguo, and they must know that Li Changguo's status, status, and power were far higher than theirs. More importantly, Li Changguo's name is important in the world, and being able to win Li Changguo's favor is a blessing that has accumulated eight lifetimes.
"Three, please!" Li Changguo turned sideways.
"General Li, please!" Du Fu, Gao Shi, and Cen Shen were very happy, and they were about to follow Li Changguo into the house.
"General Li, stay." A minister hurriedly shouted.
"Oh. What's the matter with you? Li Changguo raised his eyebrows, like a sharp sword out of the sheath.
"General Li, I don't know something. We are officials of the imperial court, and we came to General Li's mansion to ask for a meeting, and General Li didn't see us, so why did we ask these three scholars? The minister straightened his chest and said to Du Fu: "So sour, what's so good?" ”
"Yes!" These words went to the hearts of the ministers, and they echoed in unison.
This is a dog's eyes looking down on people, it hurts people's face too much, that is, the mud bodhisattva still has three points of anger, not to mention the poetry saint, as soon as his face changes, he is about to have a seizure, but he waved his hand to Li Changguo to stop it.
"Who do I want to see, and I need you to take care of it?" Li Changguo's face sank, and he shouted in a deep voice. The voice was low, like thunder, very powerful, very amazing.
"General Li, that's not what I meant, I'm just curious, curious." The minister hurriedly explained with a smile.
Li Changguo respects the world, and his status and power are far higher than him, if Li Changguo is angry, there is good fruit for him to eat, this minister is busy with the crime and said: "Please also ask General Li for forgiveness." ”
"You say he's a sour Confucian, which eye do you see him like a sour Confucian?" Li Changguo pointed at Du Fu and questioned the minister.
"This ...... How do you look like a sour Confucian. This minister was extremely disdainful of Du Fu, and although he was afraid of Li Changguo, he was still hard-mouthed.
Du Fu frowned, very angry. He has been running around all these years, and this kind of thing has happened a lot, but he has never insulted him in front of so many people.
"Have you ever heard a phrase? Heroes also have times of downfall. Li Changguo's eyes shone brightly, looked at the minister, and asked, "Even if it is Jiang Taigong, seventy is the appearance." Seventy years ago, how desolate was it to be dejected and deprived of food and clothing? Han Xin couldn't make a living, so he had to eat according to his mother, and he was humiliated by his crotch. Wei Chi Gong of this dynasty, originally a blacksmith in the north, could not do food and clothing, once he followed Emperor Taizong, his achievements shocked the world. ”
These examples are all famous inspirational stories in Chinese history, before they made their fortunes, they had a very difficult life, and they did not even have food. Once they find a place to use it, they will soar into the sky and shock the world.
The minister was speechless, thought for a while, and said, "General Li is high-minded." However, not everyone who falls will become a hero. ”
"Okay, let me ask you, you are in a high position right now, you are a minister of the imperial court, how is your article?" Li Changguo's eyes were burning and he stared at the minister.
"Back to General Li, when it comes to fighting with soldiers, maybe I'm not as good as you. However, when it comes to writing articles, it is precisely because of this that he passed the imperial examination and became a minister of the Tang Dynasty. "The minister is very proud.
The imperial examination system originated from Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and was strengthened during the reign of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and became a system of taking officials, replacing the nine-rank Zhongzheng system of the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties. Since then, it has become a very famous examination system in Chinese history. Although in later generations, it was criticized and there were such and such problems, but it is undeniable that this is a very good system for selecting officials, which is a great improvement compared with the "filial piety" of the Han Dynasty and the nine-grade Zhongzheng system of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
The Tang Dynasty spared no effort to implement the imperial examination system, and Tang Taizong, Wu Zetian and Li Longji made great efforts in this regard and discovered a large number of talents.
The minister of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, the top ten of the ** is from the imperial examination. The imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty were different from those of later generations, which were mostly based on useless words, and most of the officials selected were empty talkers, and they had no ability to be officials. The imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty paid great attention to practical work and was practical, so as to elect many good ministers.
Of course, the people who are in the Chinese imperial examination all write good articles. Yes, this official is extremely proud.
"Let me ask you again, how do you write, 'Read more than 10,000 books, and write like a god'?" Li Changguo stared at the minister and asked, his voice was like thunder, shocking the eardrums.
"Good! Well written! A cheer rang out, coming from the mouth of the minister.
"Reading more than 10,000 volumes, writing like a god", this is not only a poem, but also a philosophical inscription, which is the modern era after a thousand years, and it is also a famous sentence of persuasion. Anyone with a little brain knows that this poem is very well written, and it will not be possible if the ministers do not applaud it.
"Do you know who wrote this poem?" Li Changguo asked again.
"General Li, who wrote it?" Li Changguo's question was exactly what the ministers were thinking, and they were all looking at Li Changguo, looking forward to it.
"It's written by the sour people you look at." Li Changguo snorted coldly.
"General Xie Li." Du Fu was grateful.
Du Fu knows very well that from today onwards, he is famous. can become Li Changguo's guest, it is difficult not to be famous. Not to mention, Li Changguo also recited a poem from him in front of so many people, and it is foreseeable that this poem will inevitably become a widely circulated famous sentence. This is a supreme beauty for the struggling Du Fu.
"Ahh
"He wrote it?"
"Is this possible?"
The ministers looked at Du Fu in surprise with a ghostly expression, with a look of disbelief.
Du Fu is a sour Confucian in their eyes, useless, who would believe that he can write such a good sentence?
"Humph!" A cold snort sounded, and I saw the crown prince Li Heng, surrounded by a group of guards, striding over, and said coldly to the ministers: "Who dares not to believe General Li's words?" ”
With the crown prince Li Heng's understanding of Li Changguo, Li Changguo has not greeted a person with such a grand courtesy, how can he wait for someone he values so much? Lee Chang-kook said yes, that is.
"This ......" The ministers who were reminded by Li Heng finally came to their senses, as Li Heng said, Li Changguo would not tell lies about this matter. The sour Confucianism they despise has such literary talent, they can't accept it for a while, and they can't even speak clearly.
"Get out!" The crown prince Li Heng scolded the ministers: "If you don't do things for the country well, you want to climb the knot and become a minister of the Tang Dynasty in vain." Give you ten breaths of time, as far as you want. ”
Everyone knows that today's prince is no longer the prince of the past. The former prince was in danger, and he might lose the position of the prince at any time, but the current prince, the position of the prince is as stable as Mount Tai, and no one dares to offend, so he has to confess and leave.
"I've seen the prince." Li Changguo stepped forward to salute.
"Excuse me, excuse me." The crown prince Li Heng smiled and said, "General Li, as far as I know, you have never looked up to a person so highly, why did you greet Mr. Du with such a grand courtesy?" ”
"Because Mr. Du is Li Hanlin's best friend, and he is a person whom Li Hanlin respects." Li Changguo replied.
"Oh. Li Hanlin's admiration for the most important characters must be extraordinary. Ok, good, good! "Li Bai is eight years old, and his poems are famous all over the world, can he be a character who is highly respected by Li Bai, is it idle? Li Heng was very interested, looked at Du Fu, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go, go in and talk about it." ”
As soon as he entered the palace, the prince waved his hand and asked someone to set up wine. Soon, a table of banquets was placed, and Li Heng beckoned Li Changguo, Du Fu, Gao Shi, Cen Shen, and Li Mi to sit down.
Li Changguo looked at Li Yu and asked, "Dare to ask the hero's surname?" ”
Li Mi was about to report his surname, but he stopped the crown prince Li Heng and said with a smile: "General Li, guess who he is?" To give you a reminder, young Junjie, I have the same surname as you. ”
"Changyuan?" Although Li Changguo has never met Li Mi, he has heard of his name and knows a lot about him.
"It is an honor for General Li to know that he is here." Li Mi laughed, very bold, and his face was full of red light.
Changyuan is the word of Li Mi.
"Fortunately, fortunately!" Li Changguo was also overjoyed. Li Yu's ministers, as long as they like the Tang Dynasty, who hasn't heard of it?
This is a famous cattle man in Chinese history, a famous politician and strategist, and his plan to quell the Anshi Rebellion has been compared with Longzhong.
After the ceremony, Li Heng poured wine for everyone, and then said, "Before drinking, I will test Mr. Du first." I am really curious about the people who can be admired by Li Hanlin. ”
"Just take the test." Li Changguo was very relieved, and he glanced at Du Fu and said, "This is the prince." ”
The implication does not need to be said, that is, it is hinting to Du Fu to seize the opportunity.
Du Fu naturally understood Li Changguo's intentions, cheered up, and let Li Heng take the test. Du Fu's poetry is peerless, looking at thousands of years of Chinese history, only Li Bai can compare with him, where can Li Heng test him.
Li Mi secretly said that he was different, and he also came to take the test, but he still couldn't pass the test, and laughed: "It is worthy of being a person whom Li Hanlin admires." ”
"Mr. Du, there is still a literati in the prince's mansion who can write and write poetry, are you willing to give in?" Li Heng is soliciting.
Du Fu hesitated, and Li Changguo smiled: "How dare Mr. Du disobey such a beautiful thing?" ”
Li Heng is the future Tang Suzong, the emperor. At present, if Du Fu is his personal literati, after he ascends the throne, does Du Fu still need to think about his future?
The prince also needs people who can write and write poetry to draft various edicts for him, with Du Fu's talent, naturally there will be no problem, and it is inevitable to be appreciated by Li Heng. This is a supreme beauty for Du Fu.
"Prince Xie!" Du Fu thanked him.
Since then, Du Fu has officially become the person next to the prince, and there is no doubt about being reused.
The crown prince Li Heng also wanted to recruit Gao Shi and Cen Shen, but the two of them wanted to gallop on the field, so they had to give up.
Next, Li Changguo and the others drank and wrote poems, and they dispersed happily.
A hot news came: Wang Zhongsi has returned to Beijing.
