Chapter 173: Falling into disrepair
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Xingfeng and Zhang Zi couldn't help but be stunned, each tasting the deep meaning of the words. I have to admit that Li Yuan is by no means in vain, this poem is filled in with real details, the artistic conception is integrated, and it is not easy to write such a delicate thing about the rain that is ordinary and delicate.
What is the meaning of lyrics, different from poetry, because of the text, it can often be better allegorical in the scene, mainly with the tune played and sung after it is very infectious.
Li Yuan had an intriguing smile on his lips at this time, and he was secretly observing the reaction of the two, especially Zhang Zi, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, just because the choice of this poem was really a bit damaged.
Naturally, it was not made by Li Yuan, but in the eighth year of Song Kaibao (975), after the Song Dynasty destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Houzhu lost his family and defeated the country, and asked for surrender.
Zhang Ziben is an official who reads books, and poetry is of course a necessary skill for literati in the Southern Tang Dynasty, although he has not been able to write good poems passed down from mouth to mouth, but he is not a person who does not know how to appreciate.
After listening to this poem, I couldn't help but secretly admire it, Li Yuan is really both civil and military, and the poetry alone is not inferior to the great talent in the Hanlin Academy, but the description of life perception in this poem is really heavy, a little inconsistent with Li Yuan's twenty-one-year-old age, and some of the sentences in it, "I can't sit flat" and "I can't walk in addition" always have some indescribable ominous meanings, but it is difficult to taste them for a while.
"The world is flowing with water, and it is a dream! Good words, good words! Li Dashuai's poem, if it is transmitted to Jinling, it must be recited by the population, it is really my famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and he is good in both civil and military affairs! Zhang Zi stroked his hand and admired, although his tone was a little perfunctory, but he was also a little sincere.
Although Zhou Xingfeng didn't understand much, he had been in contact with some poetry and articles when he dealt with military and political affairs under Liu Yan before, and he nodded slowly at this time: "The handsome man writes well!" ”
Li Yuan smiled, then arched his hand towards the two, and nodded modestly: "The two of you are smiling!" Don't say this word, Ben Shuai can also see that the two of them must also like rain! Look, you've just gotten up to enjoy the rain, and you're soaking wet! ”
Don't mention it, this mention suddenly embarrassed Zhou Xingfeng and Zhang Zi, of course, the battle robe and official uniform on his body were soaked and wrinkled by the rain, and dirty, but how could it be because of what to appreciate the rain, but was drenched by the pouring rain leaking from the house, if he didn't stand under the eaves now, I am afraid that there would be blisters in his mouth when he spoke.
Li Yuan's question, Zhang Zi immediately went crazy, and couldn't help but complain loudly: "Li Dashuai, how can I wait to appreciate the rain?!" You are embarrassed to say, look at the accommodation you arranged for us, Langzhou City is the place of Wuping, why is the post house not as good as the countryside?
It rained heavily in the middle of the night, and not only us, but even His Highness's clothes were soaked by the leak from the roof, and the ground in that room was also flooded, is this how you received Your Highness?! ”
Li Yuan pretended to be stunned for a while, his eyes widened and said, "Is this true? Is the house of this post house leaking rain and flooding? ”
"Not to mention the rain leakage and flooding, is this post house a place for people to live? How can this be reasonable, there are countless gravel and weeds in the courtyard, the tables, chairs and beds are all moldy, and the house is stinky, don't you Li Dashuai smell any strange smell at this time? His Royal Highness is so noble, how can he bear such grievances? Zhang Zi said angrily.
Li Yuan forcibly held back the smile in his heart, turned his head to a partial general behind him and shouted, "Go and ask Liu Duzhi, what is going on?" Didn't Ben Shuai have given an order before to vacate the best inn in the city for His Highness to live in, how did he arrange such a place? Is this a place where people live? Your Royal Highness is very expensive, what kind of errand is he doing? Hurry up and let him rearrange it and change it to another place! Fooling around......"
The partial general didn't run away from the herald, but just arched his hand and muttered: "The handsome man is angry!" This is not Liu Du's fault, the last general has the courage to say at this moment, our Langzhou City is this post house! According to the regulations of the imperial court, unless His Majesty is in person, the visiting angels must all live in the post house, and Liu Duenvoy only does things according to the regulations! ”
Li Yuan frowned a little dissatisfied, and reprimanded: "Let you go to the order, why do you talk so much?" Liu Du envoy does things according to the regulations, so he can't really let His Highness live in this leaky place! ”
The general looked like he was speaking uprightly, and said loudly: "Dashuai, don't talk about Liu Duzhi, I don't know that this post house is so dilapidated!" Half a year ago, Young Eunuch Liu in the palace came to deliver the decree, and he also lived here, and he never complained...... In the final analysis, there are very few Shangguan in Langzhou, which leads to no one taking care of the post house, but the treasury is indeed limited, and how can we have spare money to repair the post house in the middle of the war......"
Li Yuan scolded a few times casually, turned his head and smiled: "Alas! You both heard it, too! Ben Shuai is wrong to blame Liu Du, he is also acting in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court, it is really an unintentional move, the rude point Ben Shuai can only dare to ask His Highness, please forgive me!
After all, Langzhou has only been pacified for half a year, and the place is not as prosperous as Jinling, and it often encounters wars, so naturally there are no colleagues in the court who are willing to come here for business, presumably this post house must be due to the long-term non-reception of Shangguan, and it has fallen into disrepair for a long time......"
Then he shook his head and sighed: "That's it, the matter has come to this, and this place is obviously not a place to live!" It's not as good as this, the previous marshal had ordered to renovate the Wuling School Palace in the west of the city, but because of the resurgence of the war, the treasury was tight, and the fortifications stopped for more than a month, the front hall has not been repaired so far, and the backyard can be lived! Why don't you ask Your Highness and you to move to the west of the city? ”
Zhang Ziyan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and when he was about to speak, he was grabbed by Zhou Xingfeng and reminded in a low voice: "Don't!" Do Zhang Sheren know what kind of place Wuling School Palace is? It is called the School Palace, but it is a palace built by Ma Yin, the king of Chu Xianchu! The emperor's residence, how can His Highness live ......?"
This could not be clearer, Li Yuan was going to dig a new pit and wait for King Zheng and his party to jump in, Zhang Zixin was shocked, but as if he had caught something, he suddenly changed his face and accused: "Li Dashuai, I heard that the Wuling School Palace is the palace of the old Chu!" How can His Highness live in such a hurry? By the way, how did you order the repairs, and what were your intentions? Could it be that Li Dashuai has no idea of what is wrong? ”
Li Yuan responded: "Nonsense! What is Ben Shuai's intentions? This Wuling School Palace is naturally to be repaired, and one day please ask Your Majesty to tour the west for the purpose of doing it! Isn't that the duty of a courtier?
Zhang Sheren, this handsome man is very kind, and he did not hesitate to take the risk of trespassing, he wanted His Highness to live better with you, but he was wronged by you so much, it is really chilling! This post house can't work and the school palace can't work, can Ben Shuai still conjure up a mansion out of thin air? ”
Zhang Zi sneered: "Hehe, kind? Then I would like to thank His Royal Highness Li Dashuai! ”
Zhou Xingfeng on the side was a little hesitant, and gradually heard that Li Yuan was going to pull this matter to his side, but he was planning that big event at the moment, so he couldn't clash with Li Yuan first, so he smiled and waved his hand and said: "Zhang Sheren just thinks about His Highness, and his words are too radical!" Don't be unhappy! Looking at it below, the Wuling School Palace is indeed inappropriate, and Li Dashuai can arrange another place to live. ”
Li Yuan lingered in place for a while, and then frowned: "Originally, the school palace was the most cohabited, and the backyard was spacious enough to accommodate His Royal Highness and the hundreds of forbidden troops brought by him. This makes it difficult for Ben Shuai to be a good student...... Do you want to invite Your Highness and all of you to live in my Jie Du Embassy Office? Although Ben Shuai's place was already crowded with guards, it was not impossible to vacate a few courtyards. ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Xingfeng and Zhang Ziqi waved their hands together. At this time, he lived in Li Yuan's Jiedu Embassy Office, are you kidding? When Li Yuan didn't return to the city before, he naturally couldn't ask for it, but now that this handsome man is back, coupled with the "crowded guards" he hinted in his mouth, wouldn't it be all under Li Yuan's control to live in? So how else to plot to do it?
Zhang Zi swallowed his saliva, gritted his teeth with a little resentment in his eyes, and said, "Forget it!" Li Dashuai, you don't have to bother, just look down, just continue to live in this post house, although it is a little shabby, it can accommodate everyone after all, anyway, it will only go to Yiyang in a day or two, so you don't have to toss......"
"How's that going to work? Since the two of you mentioned that this post house is leaking rain and flooding, wouldn't Ben Shuai be neglected if he didn't change his residence for His Highness? The happy rain that the soldiers and civilians of Langzhou are looking forward to, in your place, isn't it coming, 'the house leak coincides with the overnight rain'! Hey, the two of them are already soaked, and His Royal Highness is probably also guilty of a lot of crimes, so don't you blame the marshal for not being considerate? The words were so sincere, but Li Yuan always smiled.
Zhou Xingfeng shook his head calmly, and replied in a deep voice: "Actually, this rain leak is not so serious, hurry up and order someone to fill the leak!" Li Dashuai is so hearted, I will talk to His Highness later, and I will not make His Highness blame Dashuai! ”
His eyes moved to Zhang Zi, whose face was flushed, and seeing that he was also helplessly agreed, Li Yuan flicked the sleeves of his robe, nodded and responded: "Okay!" Since the two of them are so insistent, the handsome man has no choice but to agree! You can rest assured, Ben Shuai immediately found a craftsman to repair this post house, but it just hurt His Highness! Alas, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry! ”
The three of them hid their thoughts, and after chatting a few words casually, Li Yuan said goodbye and left on the grounds that it was dark at night, and did not forget to explain to the guards beside him when he left, and ordered the craftsmen to come quickly, and then hurriedly got into a luxurious and wide carriage and left.
As soon as Li Yuan left on his front foot, Zhang Zi couldn't help but scolded loudly: "This dog thing is angry with me!" It's clearly deliberate! What is in disrepair, I just don't believe it, a huge city of Langzhou, a city with a population of four or five hundred thousand, but we can't find a place where we can stay! It's so hateful! ”
Zhou Xingfeng was originally a veteran of Langzhou, and said with a gloomy face: "Langzhou is a big city, of course it is not nothing!" It's just that Li Yuan deliberately teased us, Zhang Sheren, but I still remember what His Highness said, a dying person has nothing to do with him! When the craftsmen come to repair it later, they must let the guards be on guard, be careful that they take the opportunity to leave eyeliner, and when they are done, they will be ......"
Zhang exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, gritted his teeth coldly, and said, "Okay!" And let him be proud for a day! I will go back and continue to discuss with His Highness as soon as possible, this time I will definitely let Li Yuan die without a place to be buried!" ”
