Guo Ying's uncle's Zhao family is also from Jingzhao Mansion and has lived in Shaoling Township, forty miles southwest of Chang'an City, for generations.

Here is buried the queen of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Xu Pingjun, because the north is eighteen miles away from Emperor Xuandi Duling, the scale and the mound of sealed soil are smaller than Duling, so it is called Shaoling.

The poet saint Du Fu once lived here, and called himself Shaoling Ye Lao.

However, at this time, Du Fu was far from the point of sanctification, not to mention fame, that is, he could not even talk about being famous, and even his life was spent in frustration.

Of course, this is not because his poems are not as good as those of Li Bai, Wang Wei, Meng Haoran and others, but because of the current situation.

In ancient times, there was no Internet, and the fame of literati generally relied on study tours, social travel, banquets, meeting dignitaries everywhere, and touting each other's fame through the mouths of others.

Du Fu has no way, secondly, his creative style is relatively simple, while the literati of the Tang Dynasty prefer Li Bai's fairy style.

In addition, most of the poems he wrote were poems that acupuncture the evils of the times, exposed the darkness, and reflected reality, so the dignitaries and nobles in Beijing naturally would not make a name for him, so Du Fu has always been unknown and has achieved nothing.

Even if he later wrote popular chapters such as "Three Officials", "Three Farewells", "The Song of the Thatched House Broken by the Autumn Wind", "Spring Wang", "Wen Guanjun Collects Henan and Hebei", etc., it still can't change anything, and his life is becoming more and more depressed, and even the official poetry collection is unwilling to include his poems.

There is no way, his poems almost scolded the emperor, officials, generals, and scholars, who dared to risk the disapproval of the world to justify his name.

That is, Xuanzong, Suzong, and Daizong...... After the death of the person in Gan Du Fu's poems, when later generations will review the mistakes of the previous generation, he will reappear on the stage of history.

On the official road from Chang'an to Shaoling Township, Guo Ying and his party rode horses and galloped, because the journey was boring, he simply told Guo Wan about Du Fu's life and masterpieces.

At the end, I felt something, and I couldn't help but say: "In the eyes of Brother Yu, Du Gongbu deserves the word poetry and saint."

There are tens of millions of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy!

The wind and rain do not move, and it is as safe as a mountain.

Alack!

When I suddenly see this house in front of me, it is enough for me to freeze to death!

Such an ideal, thinking about it to this day, still makes me ashamed! ”

"If one day I can be distinguished in front of others, I must publish a "Du Gongbu Poetry Collection", so that everyone in the world knows, and I also have a national scholar in the Tang Dynasty."

"Starling is so ambitious!"

When she went out, Guo Wan, a girl, gave Guo Ying a lot of face, and she didn't forget to flatter her a few words while listening.

Several entourages were not far behind, and nodded in agreement: "Lang Junzhen's husband too." ”

Guo Ying was quite useful when he heard this, looked around and asked with a smile: "The sage ordered me to go out of Beijing this time, are you willing to walk with me?" ”

"Lang Jun said with a smile, I am a border sergeant, and I am fortunate to be able to enter the eyes of the old handsome and be selected as Lang Jun's personal guard, how can I turn my back on Lang Jun and live up to the kindness of the old man because I am afraid of the danger of the border affairs?"

The entourage led by Li Feixun hugged his fists and bowed, and said righteously.

He is a Sinicized Qiang person, Shuofang Town was born as a soldier, heroic and martial arts, riding and archery, can open two stone bows, has a hand of archery, and was the coach of Shuofang Town when he was young, that is, the head of the coach.

However, this coach is not an official, but a messenger, without adding other inspectors or titles to indicate the grade, it is no different from a small soldier, Li Feixun does not want to waste his life like this, I don't know whose path he took to enter the Shuaifu and become Guo Ziyi's personal guard.

It's been more than ten years now, and now he's in his thirties.

Although there is still no official lord, the Guo family has rewarded him with money and goods over the years, and Guo Ying has also taken great care of him, and his life has been very smooth, not only bought a house in Chang'an, married a wife and had children, but also accepted two concubines, which can be regarded as a winner in life.

As for Guo Yingzhao's reason for flicking him, it is very simple, his riding and archery kung fu was learned from Li Feixun, and the two are not only master and servant, but also have a relationship between teachers and friends.

As soon as Li Feixun said this, the rest of the entourage glanced at each other, and saluted with their fists: "Although we are all vulgar martial artists, we also know the word loyalty and righteousness, and we are willing to follow Lang Jun and go to the soup and fire." ”

The big guys who didn't come out of the border army, all of them are bloody men, how can they be afraid of the bitter cold of the frontier and the iron hooves of the people?

"Good" Guo Ying stroked his palms and laughed.

……

More than an hour later, Guo Ying and his party came to Shaoling Township.

The Zhao family is a wealthy family in the township, and the positions of the township chief, the elderly, the village and the Li Zheng are basically held by the Zhao family, who make a living by making wine on weekdays and have a large manor.

But until Guo Ying rushed to Zhuangzi, he didn't see anyone in charge.

When I asked the farmers who were gleaning in the fields, I found out that it was the Zenfu Temple not far from Hongxiang that held a grand poetry party, and the patriarch of the Zhao family, the clan elders and a group of young children rushed to join in the fun early in the morning.

In fact, it can't be completely said to be a fun, there is another reason, today is the tenth day of the first month, the day of the rest of the Tang Dynasty officials, the Zhao family estimates that there will be officials from six departments and nine temples to participate in the poetry meeting, and they want to take the opportunity to visit the courtyard and make a familiar face.

Poetry club, of course, Guo Ying is no stranger, after all, in Datang, poetry is omnipotent.

It is indispensable for songs, narratives, lyricism, and farewell......

It's just that Guo Ying doesn't like that atmosphere and rarely participates.

How to say it, after all, he is a person of later generations, and he always feels that this so-called poetry meeting is just a bunch of literary and young people who are pretentious and moaning without illness, and they are a little less elegant.

Except for when he first crossed, he participated in a court poetry meeting to make a name for himself, and he had never been to such an occasion.

Guo Ying was not interested in this poetry meeting, but Guo Wan had an eager expression, she listened to Guo Ying's sleeve and begged: "Starling, since we met, we might as well go and have a look at the grand occasion......"

"What's so good about the poetry club, don't you often participate in the poetry meeting held by your daughter's house?"

Guo Ying shook his head, he can't compose poems, he has a sense of guilt for plagiarism, what is he going to do, it is better to take a turn in this countryside and take a look at the idyllic scenery of mountains and rivers.

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Guo Wanjiao snorted and said, "I estimate that there are many scholars and literati who have no way to seek official positions at the poetry meeting of Shanfu Temple.

Starling, you don't want to recruit a few, take them with you, check and fill in the gaps, and counsellor military aircraft? ”

A word wakes up the dreamer.

Her words made Guo Ying's eyes light up and her heart pounded.

He estimated that according to Li Shi's urine, most of them would seal him as a deputy general, ten generals and other middle and lower-level military positions, and manage hundreds or thousands of soldiers.

Guo Ying thought to himself that he was managing so many soldiers, it was indeed necessary to recruit a few literati, not to mention advice, it would be good to be a dog-headed military advisor and manage logistics.

It is impossible for him, the Lord, to do everything himself.

Isn't that Zhuge Liang?

Thinking of this, Guo Ying happily agreed: "Okay, I'll join you in the fun." ”
