Li Linfu, the right minister, stood on the platform of his house, staring at the courtyard below, and Li Siye was leading a few people to walk out of the gate. He turned his head to the chief steward beside him and asked, "What do you think about this Li Siye?" ”

"Ah Lang, the slave maid can't say it well, it is rumored that this person is a martial artist, but what I saw a few times has a bit of copper smell, and it is more sleek than I imagined."

"Ha, it's not just sleek, this person doesn't pay attention to the rules, but he can also break the rules at any time. This kind of person should not be used lightly, nor should he be gullible, if he uses it, it is still okay. ”

The chief steward seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "I remember that when Pinglu Jiedu sent An Lushan to the mansion, you seemed to say the same. ”

"Really?" Li Linfu opened his mouth and smiled: "It seems to be about the same, but these two people are completely different, An Lushan's eyes are full of desires, and he can't hide them if he wants to." This Li Siye has weak desires and great delusions, but he has to pretend to be lustful. Those who have desires need to beware, and those who have delusions need to beware. ”

"Then, according to Alang's opinion, this person can't stay."

Li Linfu glanced at him and said, "It's just a person with delusions, what can't be left, it's not worrying to me." As long as he doesn't collude with the prince to death, what if he stays in the west of the moraine. ”

……

Li Siye led his entourage out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the winding alleys in front of him were brightly lit, and there were scholars in light-colored robes carrying lamps to wander around prostitutes. They may be some outsiders, as soon as they enter Chang'an Pingkangli, they are dazzled by the beauty of the wind and dust everywhere, looking at the weak water in the rolling red dust, thinking that it is difficult for them to choose if they take a scoop of drink.

These people are the ones who entered Chang'an to take the exam this year, and they have been studying hard for ten years, but as soon as they arrived in this prosperous place, they were instantly liberated from their nature and sought a moment of pleasure here. Some talented people are like fish in water here, and their poems will become popular in Chang'an overnight through the singing of female capitalists, and the wonderful sentences in the poems will be repeatedly chanted and mentioned in people's mouths.

When he won the dragon bid, his talent was officially proven, and he became more and more popular, and even some famous prostitutes who usually pretend to be high and high, looked at him with softened their eyes, and maybe they could hug the beauty and summarize it as a concubine.

Why does the right minister Li Linfu look down on these people, because the ugliness of people in the world is magnified in Pingkangfang, and when he sees a part of the world here, he mistakenly thinks that it is the whole of the world.

"Zimei! Zimei! A wealthy scholar beckoned with his stomach open, followed by four or five of his peers, who should have entered Beijing together from the way they were dressed.

Du Zimei, who was called, reluctantly turned around, his clothes were a notch lower than that of several fellow villagers, and he was much older than these people.

"Zimei, tonight the lights are on, the sky is beautiful, why do you want to find a residence to rest, go to the Qingyue Pavilion with us to chant poems with beauties, and play and drink."

"No, the court will release the list in a few days, so I'll rest patiently in the mansion and talk about it until that day."

The fat rich man showed a hidden contemptuous smile on his face, as if he was ridiculing him for his self-esteem: "Qinglou has a good dream, wouldn't it be more comfortable to fall asleep with a beauty in his arms." Brother Zimei still don't shirk, hurry, go up and ask Brother Zimei to go with you. ”

The two fellow villagers of Luodi ran over, holding Du Zimei's arms with both hands and walking into the distance.

Du Fu is actually shy in his pocket, and he wants to maintain his dignity, he is unwilling to rub other people's money, so he refuses. And why did these wealthy people forcibly abduct him, weren't they guilty of cheapness? In fact, the most upscale Nanqu Chinese atmosphere in Pingkangfang is too strong, so that most famous prostitutes value the talent of customers, and only rich dogs are not qualified to enter, so high rollers like to partner with a talented person to go and borrow the other party's talent as a tool to pry open famous prostitutes.

Li Siye looked at these prodigal talents, maybe some of them would be able to hang the crown high, be named on the gold list, and become his colleagues.

He wore stars on his head and entered the courtyard where most of the people had fallen asleep, and all the lights had been extinguished. They only carried a paper lantern taken out of the right phase and zigzagged through the dark courtyard.

There was a glimmer of light ahead, but someone came in a trance with a lamp, but it was Daorou who had already been guarding the courtyard, waiting for them to come back.

Yan Xiaosi smiled happily: "It's still gentle and humane, and you know how to wait for us." ”

Dao Rou just said politely and calmly, then led Li Siye with a lantern and said, "Ah Lang, I have lit charcoal in your room and made a bed for you." ”

"Daorou has worked hard."

He carried the lantern into the door, closed the partition door, put the lamp on the table, took out the oil lamp, blew out the lamp and lay down on his clothes.

Daorou saw that the lights in Ah Lang's room were extinguished, so she blew out the oil lamp faintly, and the entire backyard fell into the deep night.

The first month is about to pass, and Li Siye is also preparing to go to his post and taste the taste of the feudal officials in advance. It's just that he is also the music camp general of Liyuan, so he can't say goodbye without saying goodbye, and he always has to say a word to Yagong in Liyuan.

The person in charge of the pear orchard is called Yagong, so Li Longji is also called Yagong. It is not easy for ordinary people to see the emperor, but as a disciple of Liyuan, it is very simple for him to meet Yagong.

He rode the black fat to the pear orchard, but saw a lot of people lining up outside the west gate, and came up to inquire, only to know that this was the emperor lamented the withering of the pear orchard talents, and decided to hold the spring scientific examination at the same time, and issued an edict to announce that the world should select disciples who are proficient in music and art in the pear garden, which can be regarded as the blossoming of literature and art.

The selection took place in two days, and today was the last day, and the west gate could not enter for the time being, so he had to enter through the south gate.

Li Siye had just come to the outside of the Qilin Palace, but two disciples stopped outside the door, and when they saw him, they said respectfully: "Li Zhongcheng, you are here to see Yagong, but today is not a coincidence, the sage is personally selecting the musicians who came to the pear garden to be selected in the hall, I am afraid that I will not be able to see you." ”

"Personally selected ......"

The emperor's attitude towards selecting musical talents is really admirable, but his intentions are not used in the wrong place.

This matter is a little troublesome, and he hurriedly said: "I am preparing to say goodbye to the saint and prepare to go to the North Court to serve as the envoy of the festival." ”

When the two disciples heard this, they gave him an idea next to him and said, "The selection is over today, let's let you in, and when the selection of saints is over, how about you go up and meet the driver again?" ”

Li Siye nodded in agreement, walked around the pillars from the back of the hall to the front hall, and stood on the side of the Zhu Gate to watch these art candidates perform in front of the emperor. The three tutors are the emperor, the pipa master Lei Haiqing and the dance master Xie Aman, they are the most professional tutor team, and the selection is also very cruel, a total of more than 100 people came to sign up today, but only ten people stayed.

The draft conducted by the emperor himself as a mentor naturally has no shady scenes, and he does not dare to have shady scenes.

After the selection of musicians, the emperor was in a very happy mood, and Li Siye also took the opportunity to go up and propose to him to leave the pear orchard to take up his post in the north garden.

In the spring of the sixth year of Tianbao, Li Siye gathered a team at the Duting Station outside Kaihuafang, and more than 60 people were ready to leave Chang'an along Jinguangmen Hengjie with banners and menjing, but the team was blocked by countless rioting crowds outside the imperial city.

He rode on the black fat body, and he could see the empty imperial list from afar, there was no name on the red paper, and there were excited scholars standing under the list, some laughed wildly, and some cried sadly.

He instinctively sensed that something was wrong and ordered Yan Xiaosi to go over and take a look.

Yan Xiaosi quickly turned back and briefly repeated to him: "As the chief examiner, the right minister is in charge of this year's Spring Examination, and the result of the scientific examination is not only not the champion, but there is not even a single Jinshi, and all the three thousand scholars who went to Beijing for the examination have been ranked, and none of them have passed. ”

Li Siye was dumbfounded when he heard this, there was such a thing, the young man selected from the three hundred and sixty states in the world, none of them passed the scientific examination in Chang'an, can Li Linfu explain it to the emperor?

The nature of the matter seems to be so serious that it is as strange as the fact that everyone is judged to fail in the civil service examination. In addition, he clearly knew that the emperor had recently carefully selected musicians in the pear orchard, which was completely fair and just, but the situation in front of him could be regarded as black humor.

Li Siye suddenly remembered a complaining sentence and said to himself: "People with music dreams have found their own home, but people with aspirations to serve the country can only shed tears, which is also too magical realism." ”
