Chapter 47: Being Recommended
In Datang, it is not difficult to be an official, as long as you dare to spray the emperor to give correct and literary advice, you can attract the emperor's attention.
Liu Fan was recommended by Fang Xuanling, and wrote a large article in a letter, summing it up in just two words, this kid is a talent, and His Majesty can reuse it.
Whether Liu Fan is a talent or not, Li Shimin already knows, but Li Shimin still wants to let it go again, he always feels that it is the right thing to let Liu Fan continue to be a li, so he has no opinion on Liu Fan's recruitment of retired government soldiers, if he can rebel around the Tang Dynasty, it is not Liu Fan's problem, but his own emperor, and the failure of the entire court.
Li Shimin is not afraid of others rebelling, but hopes that the more people who rebel now, the better, so that they can be annihilated in one fell swoop, so as to make Datang more stable.
What can the big-headed soldiers think, it is nothing more than to eat a full meal, Li Shimin has long known the thoughts of the low-level soldiers, but look at the current Linjia Village, who is still willing to rebel, everyone is rich, I heard that the children in that village are now fat.
Li Shimin is a little jealous of this kind of day, although now the inner money is gradually full, but what kind of money is it, Liu Fan alone has a big canteen and cake shop to make money faster than the briquette business, thinking of this and angrily ate a big mouthful of cake, now the cake is not only the eldest grandson queen likes to eat, those princes and princesses also like to eat, under the upward and downward effect, the whole Chang'an is in love with this delicacy.
It is said that the cake is now hard to find, and unless you go to Linjia Village to eat it, you can only queue up to make a reservation, and you have to queue up regardless of any level.
Cake is a rare delicacy for others, but for Liu Fan, it couldn't be simpler, so he prepared a cake and other gifts and specially found Ouyang Xun, who was the bachelor of Hongwen Pavilion.
Without him, I want to ask for a pair of calligraphy, this kind of authentic handwriting of celebrities, and a little bit of it can also make future generations eat and drink endlessly.
Of course, Ouyang Xun, who is now at the peak of calligraphy, directly rejected Liu Fan's request, Liu Fan was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "This cake is a kid's heart, not a gift, since childhood, I know that your calligraphy is in danger in the peace, it is a rare best in the world, although the boy does not read much, but for this calligraphy is extremely admired, only to get a pair, but to be able to live as he wishes." ”
Ouyang Xun hadn't heard any good words, and he just sneered and said: "Boy, I've heard your name, I got the guidance of the old fairy, and I made locust powder, and I also helped with the drought, but these old men are very admired in their hearts, if they write a picture for you because of this matter, then wouldn't everyone in the world be able to find the old man to write!" ”
"If you really want words, then you can, the old man will give you two words, contentment!"
Liu Fan really didn't expect this old man to be so strong, and he didn't have any room for turning around when he spoke, so he bowed his hand and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, he was stopped by Ouyang Xun again, "The old man has also heard of the two poems you wrote, if you can write another poem similar to those two today, the old man will make an exception to write one for you!" ”
What kind of character is Liu Fan, it can stand him talking like this, although he wants to leave a word to future generations, but his current behavior is purely a suspicion of chasing stars, love is not given, why do you still write poems for you, and turn around and leave directly at the moment.
As soon as he left like this, Ouyang Xun was stunned.
Soon Liu Fan couldn't ask for a book, and the matter of leaving the Hongwen Pavilion in anger and shame spread, everyone said that Ouyang Xun was a well-deserved calligrapher in the world, and his reputation once again resounded in the Tang Dynasty.
Liu Fan's fate was not very good, anyway, he didn't care about these evaluations themselves, but attracted many people who wanted to come to the village to watch the jokes, especially those die-hard fans of Ouyang Xun, who ran to Liu Fan's door and scolded loudly, and were directly beaten and thrown out of the village by Liu Fan.
For a while, there was a lot of trouble about this matter, but Li Shimin laughed out loud.
Can a matter between literati be called a thing?
It's really called in Datang, and the stars of Datang are these poets or calligraphers, who are top-notch, and the rest are talented prostitutes.
There are too many people who eat melons, and some people have even questioned whether Liu Fan's two poems were plagiarism, and scolding Liu Fan for a while has become the guide of public opinion.
Liu Fan didn't take it seriously, but when he saw that there were fewer and fewer people coming in from the village, he began to pay attention to it, Lin Hao had already looked for Liu Fan many times, and every time he came, he was angry and wanted to hit someone, Jiang Muxue echoed on the side, and Liu An, who was watching, also shouted that he was going out to fight.
Zheng looked at Liu Fan with some concern, but Liu Fan was still as plain as water, but looking at the miscellaneous discussions that were gradually increasing now, he was indeed a little irritable, so he got up and wrote a poem, "The flowers of water, land, grass and trees, the lovely ones are very rich." Jin Tao Yuanming loves chrysanthemum alone. Since the Tang Dynasty, the world loves peonies very much. To love the lotus out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, straight through the outside, not vines and branches, fragrant far and clear, pavilion net planting, can be seen from a distance and can not be blasphemed.
It is called a chrysanthemum, and the recluse of flowers is also; Peony, the rich and noble of flowers; Lotus, the gentleman of flowers. Belch! The love of chrysanthemum is rarely heard after pottery. The love of the lotus, who is the giver? The love of peony is suitable for everyone! ”
Ma Zhou exclaimed after seeing it, and immediately posted it, and then this word swept the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time slapped countless people in the face, because Liu Fan compared their noisy crowd to a peony, and he is a lotus flower, for your disturbances, Lao Tzu is not interested, you don't contaminate me, it can be said that it is a word that does not scold a person, but despises everyone.
Even with a burst of ridicule at Ouyang Xun, Liu Fan naturally didn't have the ability to mock Ouyang Xun, but it was originally a trivial matter, and you, as a big man, didn't say a word when you saw yourself being trampled on, which was somewhat excessive.
As for how later generations will understand this poem, it is something that later generations of literati and writers will study, and it has nothing to do with Liu Fan.
Liu Fan is careful, anyway, everyone is a Tang Dynasty, who is afraid of whom, the poems they make will definitely be able to last for a hundred years, since everyone is equal in this way, there is nothing polite or impolite, and don't forget, Liu Fan's age is there, this age alone is enough for Liu Fan to do a lot of willful things without considering the consequences.
Ouyang Xun also heard this song, and laughed a few times when he heard it, and there was nothing to worry about with a bullied hairy child.
What Liu Fan didn't expect was that Ouyang Xun didn't ask for a word, but Yu Shinan sent a pair of words for this poem, which was extremely beautiful.
This seventy-year-old man also specially ordered the person who sent the words to send a sentence, "Poetry is a small way, and so is calligraphy. ”
