As mentioned last time, Li Bai, who claimed to be a swordsman, challenged Liang Wenzhen, and the Taoist of Ziji Palace told him that the old man in the seat was He Zhizhang, the current secretary of the Ministry of Industry. Li Bai hurriedly saluted and told him who he was, He Zhizhang was surprised and invited him to drink tea together. Li Bai insisted on learning swordsmanship, and Liang Wenzhen agreed, secretly laughing at Li Bai's incompetence. Xu Miaoyin is a professional player, dancing with a sword like a fairy descending to earth, Li Bai is vulnerable and defeated. Seeing the poet immortal Li Bai, Master Li instigated Liang Wenzhen to show his hand, Liang Wenzhen performed a nunchuck, everyone was amazed, and even Wu Song, who was proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts, sighed that he would not make a nunchuck. Li Bai drank tea and chatted together, and presented a new poem to He Zhizhang, and Master Li played a prank and recited "Shu Dao Difficult", saying that a poet had already written it. Li Bai was very embarrassed and worried that others would say that he plagiarized. In the end, Liang Wenzhen explained that it was Master Li who had a special ability to see through the paper, so he knew the sentence of the poem. He Zhizhang praised Li Bai's new work, sighed that there were good poems but no good wine, and invited everyone to go out to drink together.

He Zhizhang walked in front with the support of the scholar, led Liang Wenzhen and Li Bai, and turned left on the road more than ten zhang away, which was a wine shop, which looked quite clean and tidy. At this time, the sun had not yet set, and there were no other guests in the wine shop. Xiao Er greeted everyone and beckoned everyone to the upstairs private room, and the seats were opened. Liang Wenzhen and his group were numerous, and six or seven coachmen, grooms, and family members occupied most of the table. Fortunately, He Zhizhang is a big official, and he can afford it, otherwise he would have to be poor.

Liang Wenzhen asked He Lao to sit in the first place, Li Bai to sit in the second seat, and each of them made a humble concession before he sat down. He Zhizhang explained to Xiao Er, although he chose good food and wine, Xiao Er saw He Zhizhang's big man style, so he naturally did not agree. "Mr. Taibai, the old man should ask you to be an immortal. After reading your new work, especially the poem "Shu Dao Difficulty", the mountains and rivers are thrilling, magnificent, and the handwriting of the hidden fairy, admire, admire, it really makes the old man breathtaking. Could it be that Mr. Taibai is too platinum star to come down to the world? He Zhizhang was still full of praise at this time.

"Immortals? He Lao is the first person to call Li Bai like this, an immortal, this name is meaningful, quite in line with Li Bai's search for immortals, and envy the heart of the heavenly immortals to travel freely. Okay, Li Bai no longer calls himself a swordsman in the future, but calls himself an immortal! Li Bai looked excited, like a bosom friend in the mountains and rivers, and looked at He Zhizhang respectfully. Immortals, Liang loves your poems very much, but this poem "Shu Dao Difficult", for Liang, there are many rare words and words, and it is difficult to memorize them. Your "Silent Night Thoughts" is so simple and catchy that it is so famous that everyone in the world knows it, even a three-year-old child can recite it. Liang Wenzhen said.

"Oh, am I so famous as an immortal?" Li Bai looked at Liang Wenzhen in surprise, both surprised and happy. At that time, education was not universal, especially in mountain villages, communication was inconvenient, and it would be an exaggeration to say that everyone in the world knew about it. "Brother Liang is from overseas, and many of the common words of Middle-earth are considered obscure to him, so there is no need to be strange to the immortals. But it seems to be an exaggeration to say that three-year-old children can recite the poetry of the immortals. He Zhizhang said. He Lao, do you know that the poems of the immortals were recited and arrived in my overseas countryside, because the Ministry of Education thought that the poems of the immortals were the best, and they were forced to be compiled into textbooks, so the poems that Meng Tongfu learned at the beginning were this "Silent Night Thoughts". Liang Wen really responded. I see! It dawned on everyone.

"Ministry of Education? There is no such part among the six, but what is it? He Zhizhang asked suspiciously. In my overseas countryside, the court was overwhelmed, and one person's work had to be done by several people, so the affairs of the six departments were separated according to the details, and various departments were set up. The Ministry of Education is the department responsible for restricting the admission of students, teachers, and examinations. Do you understand what I say? "Liang Wenzhen said." Oh, Brother Liang couldn't have made it clearer, the so-called Ministry of Education is similar to my Tang Dynasty's Guozijian, but it is not complete. He Zhizhang nodded again and again. The overseas Ministry of Education is still in the book, but he has a good vision and understands the beauty of my immortal poems. Li Bai was full of smiles, and his face was colorful.

"Mr. Li Taibai's name as a poet immortal has been known to the world in two or three hundred years, but the situation of Liang Lang in the overseas countryside is not strange." Xu Miaoyin said. "Yes, the immortals have wandered around all their lives, why don't you go to the test to gain fame and show your life's ambitions." Liang Wenzhen asked. Li Bai was frustrated in his life because he couldn't enter the officialdom, and he complained all his life, so he wrote many famous stories through the ages. However, the imperial examination system has been implemented since the Sui Dynasty, and it is really strange that Li Bai has time to call friends and enjoy the mountains and rivers, but he does not participate in the scientific examination.

"Hahahaha-" everyone laughed. "Liang Lang, can anyone in your overseas countryside participate in the imperial examination?" Xu Miaoyin, who was at the other table, blushed when she heard this, turned her head to look at Liang Wenzhen and asked. "The "Tang Law" has stipulated that I am not qualified to refer to the immortals." Li Bai's face was pale. "The "Great Song Statute" also stipulates that Li Shixian is not allowed to participate in the imperial examination because he was born in a merchant family." Master Li, who was at the same table as Xu Miaoyin, said. "Exactly, I am an immortal who walks out of Shu Road and travels around, because I was born in the family of Shangjia since I was a child, and I have no chance of fame, I hope to be known to the world, and I meet a famous senior Su to recommend it, and I can be used by the court to serve the court." Li Bai no longer concealed his difficulties and ideals, and said with a solemn expression.

"Which dynasty made the "Great Song Statutes"?" He Zhizhang asked. "The meaning of my teacher is to talk about the Song Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period. Yes, He Lao is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry of the dynasty, and it is not easy for him to say to the emperor that Li Dashi enters the temple and is appreciated by the emperor? ! Liang Wenzhen said. He remembered that Li Bai was known to Tang Xuanzong and summoned into the palace under the recommendation of others. "Hahahaha, Brother Liang doesn't need to provoke the old man, the old man actually has this intention. At what age did you start reading? He Zhizhang laughed, and then asked.

"Hui He Lao, Li Bai's father, has been Jia all his life, has quite a family asset, has invited a famous teacher to enlighten Li Bai, and has entered the school hall. Fei is boastful, Li Bai can recite Liujia at the age of five, and he has watched hundreds of schools at the age of ten. It's just that he can't do scientific research, which is really Li Bai's lifelong regret. Li Bai responded. No wonder the immortals are eight buckets high, it turns out that there is self. Now that the saint is traveling to the west to hunt, he will return not long ago, and there are many things, wait a few more days, and the old man will say a few good words for you in front of the saint. If the husband has great talent, why can't he serve the country. He Zhizhang said.

"I'm tired of He Lao, Li Bai respects He Lao with a cup." Li Bai's gratitude was beyond words, and he immediately got up and toasted He Zhizhang. Maybe because of the agitated mood, the cup is unstable, and half a glass of wine is spilled. When Liang Wenzhen saw it, he hurriedly filled it for him. "The immortals are polite, the old man is recommending talents for the imperial court, and the imperial court should be grateful to the immortals." He Zhizhang stood up, the two clinked glasses, and then drank it all. "Li Bai has also heard about the hunting of the saint, but he has no chance to see the saint." Li Baidao.

I just came from the west, and I met the emperor going out hunting, and I don't know how to do it. Li Bai secretly thought in his heart. I heard that the emperor Li Longji was hunting in the west, so he thought that the opportunity was coming, and he made "The Great Hunting" overnight, and traveled hard to get to the gate of the emperor's camp. After wandering for two days, he couldn't find an opportunity to present "The Great Hunt". It's hateful, who am I, Li Bai, who has always looked down on the flies and dogs, but at that time, I had to offer silver taels to the guards and eunuchs, so that I could deliver my family's painstaking and proud work to the emperor. I am embarrassed to think about such a behavior, how can I let outsiders know. Li Bai was happy because of He Zhizhang's kindness, and the sadness of the past flashed and left behind.

"There is no need to worry, the immortals are highly talented, and the famous Jingshi is famous, how can the saints not use it. Yes, the immortals came to Chang'an, and their wives and children are good? He Zhizhang asked with concern. Returning to He Lao, Li Bai settled in Anlu in his early years, and Humble Jing was the granddaughter of Xu Yushi, the prime minister of the former dynasty. The wife and children at home are all good, and there is no food and clothing, so Li Bai can leave home with confidence. Thank you for your old concerns. Li Bai replied. As the old saying goes, parents are here, and they don't travel far. At that time, a man wandered around, and he was bound to be despised, He Zhizhang asked him like this, which really meant a lot, and it was to investigate Li Bai's character.

As the old saying goes, seven don't go out, eight don't return. Modern people interpret it indiscriminately, interpreting it as not going out on the seventh day of the new year, and not going home on the eighth day of the new year. In fact, the meaning of seven is not to go out, that is, before going out, there are seven things that have not been done well, do not go out. That is, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, which is what modern people usually call the seven things to open the door. In ancient times, people who went out were often the heads of the family, so they had to arrange their home life before they could go out. The meaning of the eight non-return means that after going out, if the eight things have not been done, you cannot go home. These eight things are filial piety, loyalty, faithfulness, courtesy, righteousness, honesty, and shame, which are the eight standards of conduct strictly observed by the ancients. Li Bai wandered around, his literary name spread all over the world, how could he take care of his family. He Zhizhang has been an official for many years, he is seventy years old, and after the vicissitudes of life, he can be described as old and spicy, in order to solve the doubts in his heart, he naturally wants to ask.

Liang Wenzhen, He Zhizhang, Li Bai and others pushed the cup to change the lamp, staggered and drank a lot. Liang Wenzhen is both civil and military, and Li Baicai is eight years old, both of whom are rare talents. He Zhizhang had the heart to solemnly recommend the two of them to Emperor Ming, and it was better to continue to inspect the two at the wine table. Among the modern people of the 21st century, there are directors who specialize in human resources, who have noses and eyes, and spread the secret of recruitment to people, that is, to invite the candidates to a banquet, spit out the truth after drinking, and show their original form after drinking, so as to observe their character. They think they are wonderful, but in fact the ancients have already done it.

"Brother Liang, both civil and military, came to Chang'an for the first time, are you willing to live in Chang'an for a long time?" He Zhizhang asked. "He Lao, I am in the countryside overseas, and I am also a businessman, if there is really no way out, I can only live here for a long time. I'm afraid that I'm from another place, and it's not easy to take root. Liang Wenzhen replied. If it weren't for the fact that he already had a huge industry in Tokyo in the Great Song Dynasty, it would be good to come here for 20 years and wait until the inevitable Anshi Rebellion came. What's more, wouldn't it be better not to talk to death, and there are many back roads.

"Brother Liang is too worried. In the past, there were Fanbang men in the imperial court as officials, and I had a lot of rivers in the Tang Dynasty, and all countries came to the court, and the four seas returned to their hearts, took root, and served the court, so what was the difficulty. He Zhizhang said. My brothers, as well as a lady, are very willing to settle in Chang'an. When they settle down, they will have to plan for their livelihood. Liang Wenzhen stretched out his finger and pointed at Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong, Pan Jinlian and others.

"Yes, the old man heard Brother Liang say before that the ancestor is from Lingnan." He Zhizhang asked again. "That's true, I also went to Lingnan to find my roots and ask my ancestors." Liang Wenzhen replied. "There are very few people from Lingnan who come to Chang'an as officials, but there is a sage among them, and the old man admires him very much. He is Dr. Jin Ziguanglu, Bozhang Qujiang and Zhang Jiuling of Shixing County. He Zhizhang said. Zhang Jiuling? Zhang Jiuling, a famous minister through the ages? Liang Wenzhen was taken aback and asked. Unexpectedly, today through the wormhole crossing, to Chang'an, the twenty-third year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Zhang Jiuling is also a person of this era. "Famous through the ages?" He Zhizhang asked suspiciously.

"Oh, He Lao doesn't know. On the way to find my roots and ask my ancestors, I went to Shaozhou, Lingnan, and visited Zhang's family. During the chat, because I learned that Liang had learned the Tao from a master and knew how to divination, he asked me to tell my fortune with the eight characters of Zhang Gong's birthday. At that time, I learned that Zhang Gong would become a famous face through the ages in the future. In order not to tell others that his group was from three hundred years later, especially after a thousand years, Liang Wenzhen had to be cheeky and make up a paragraph.

"Brother Liang still knows the divination?" He Zhizhang asked. "Our Liang brother can predict the prophet and try it again and again." Lin Chongdao. "It's not that it's unhappy, it's very unhappy. What the Sprinkle family saw with their own eyes, there can still be fake! Lu Zhishen and Wu Song drank by themselves, and said at this time. In this way, Brother Liang calculated that Zhang Qujiang was a famous figure through the ages, and this matter was of great importance. Without further ado, the old man will enter the palace early tomorrow morning to meet the saint and discuss the matter. He Zhizhang said. Since Zhang Jiuling is a virtuous person and can be a virtuous minister, why not use it as soon as possible to strategize for the imperial court. He Zhizhang is old and seeks to seek the country, so he thinks about it.

"Since I came to Chang'an, it is rare for me to be a fellow villager, and I also want to meet Zhang Gong." Liang Wenzhen said. According to historical records, since Zhang Jiuling was squeezed out by Li Linfu and other traitors, Tang Xuanzong was always worried, whenever a company recommended talents and reported to him, he always had to ask, "Demeanor like Jiuling?" It can be seen that Zhang Jiuling's demeanor and demeanor should be so extraordinary. In today's Shaoguan City, there is still a gatehouse called the Grace Building, which is built by later generations to commemorate Zhang Jiuling. Liang Wenzhen thought about it so far, and intended to ask He Zhizhang to introduce him, so he said.

"The old man also said that Brother Liang knows Zhang Qujiang, but you have been to his hometown, and it can be regarded as fate. Another day, the old man will definitely take you to meet him, and Brother Liang should be anxious. He Zhizhang said. He Lao calls himself a Siming maniac, and he is bold by nature, but he is a capable official and a scholar, and he naturally knows everything, how can Liang Wenzhen's meaning escape his eyes. At this time, everyone was full of wine and food, and the conversation had subsided slightly, and it was time to disperse.

He Zhizhang reached into his sleeve and touched it, and was secretly surprised in his heart. Oops, when I went out today, I forgot to put enough silver taels in my money bag, and I remembered it all the time, but today I was interrupted by trivial things, and I missed it for a while. "Little Er, check out!" He Zhizhang took out a piece of gold, put it on the table, and called out to Xiao Er at the door. "Where's the golden turtle?" Zhao Min looked at it, couldn't help but be curious, and reached out to touch it. "Little brother, this golden turtle was given by the saint a few years ago, and when I went out today, I forgot to bring the silver taels, so I had to use it." He Zhizhang said with a smile.

"I can't do it, I can't do it, He Lao, at this time, the emperor has given it, and it is absolutely impossible, and Li Bai will settle the bill." When Li Bai heard this, he stood up and touched the money bag. When Li Bai took out the money bag, he poured out only two pieces of broken silver and a few copper plates, which were far from enough to settle the bill. "Li Shixian sit down, and Liang will settle the bill!" Liang Wenzhen said as he motioned for Xu Fan to take out the silver taels. "Sit down, sit down, today is the old man, you can't wait. Immortals, don't you have a poem, life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. The old man settled the bill with a golden turtle today, which is also a good story. He Zhizhang said. Liang Wenzhen saw that He Zhizhang was resolute, and it was not good to rob it again, so he had to give up.

Liang Wenzhen and Li Bai don't know each other, and He Zhizhang, as a scholar, is much older, so naturally he doesn't let them pay, so there is a good story about exchanging golden turtles for fine wine. Liang Wenzhen and Li Bai were recommended to Tang Xuanzong at the same time, but Li Bai was rejected, but there was another hidden secret. Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
