Volume 1 Xiao Yuanba Chapter 194 Zhang Tong asks for poetry
Li Dan came out halfway to change clothes (go to the toilet), walked back and looked up, saw Liu Xi walking out, greeted him and told him how to go to the toilet, and Li Dan, who was about to return to the seat, was stopped again.
"Do you know why I came to Jiangxi?" Liu Xi asked with a smile.
"Didn't the servants come to preach the will?" Li Dan pretended to be puzzled.
"Eh, there are also people who came to pass the decree, and asked Lord Zhao something for the emperor." After Liu Xi finished speaking, he looked at no one around, lowered his voice and said, "We are actually mainly here to see you."
"Look at me?" Li Dan was surprised.
"I mean, for the emperor, see what kind of person you are and how you do things, and the emperor has something for me to ask you." Seeing that Li Dan was about to worship, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Please take the time tomorrow, and let's talk in detail."
"That...... How about moving to Jinfeng Temple? Tomorrow is the day to send troops to recover Jinxian, and you can just see how I commanded, and you can also see how the regimental training works. If the waiter agrees, I will send a car to wait outside the door. How?" Look at the book
"Yes! That's it!" Liu Xi was worried that Li Dan would hide a lot of things from him, and he didn't want the other party to open the door completely, looking like "you can take a look", and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Want to reclaim Jinxian? Can you be sure of the experience?" He felt his heart beating violently, this was the first time he was on the front line, how could he not be nervous?
Li Dan saw it, smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, it's nothing. The enemy is not easy to fight, but we have set a trap, and it is not so difficult for the tiger to fall in and beat it again."
Liu Xi gently patted his palm a few times for his metaphor, and then said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is very optimistic about your lordship, don't worry. It's just that you are still young, and some ministers are quite unconvinced.
Besides, the new political envoy is also a veteran, so His Majesty ordered me to come and take a look, and by the way, stay by your side for a while, and if there is anything, it is convenient to send the Wing Loong Wei brought by me to the palace at any time, this is a meaning of support, I hope your lord understands."
"Understood, understood." Li Dan hurriedly surrendered his hand: "In this case, we are going to suffer together for a period of time, and we should not be separated from each other like this anymore, it is troublesome for adults to come and adults to go!"
"Not really. Then in the future, adults will call me "Hello" in private, how about it?"
"Don't call me an adult, just call me Saburo."
"Then please forgive Saburo, the villain has offended."
"Eh, in that case, then there are no villains or slaves."
"Okay, good, Ah Xi is wrong, don't blame San Lang!"
Li Dan waved his hand and asked, "Ah Xi, I received the holy decree today, and there is something in it that I don't understand, and I hope you can help me solve my doubts."
"What did Saburo ask?"
"Why didn't Your Majesty let me save the king, but simply asked me to save the king of Fengning County?"
"That's what I asked." Liu Xi looked around and whispered, "The King of Fengning County has been living in His Majesty's Hidden Mansion before he became a vassal, and he was His Majesty's playmate and companion when he was a child......."
"Oh!" Li Dan suddenly brightened.
"What's the matter, but it's so difficult to save the king of the county, so do you worry about San Lang?" Liu Xi immediately saw it and asked sensitively.
Li Dan told Shangrao about the current dangerous situation, and Liu Xi was so shocked that sweat broke out on his forehead instantly. He told Emperor Li Dan that he attached great importance to this matter, and specially sent two captains of the Pterodactyl Guard to supervise it.
Li Dan smiled bitterly, thinking to himself, he knew that this title was not so easy, sure enough, right? But the will has been received, and this must be done.
Now that Zhao Chongbi has also received the strict order to save the king of Fengning County, at least someone will share the pressure together, and if you want people, weapons, money, or food and grass, you can't ask Yu Gan's committee to bear it, it all has to fall on him, the inspector!
Back at the door of the hall, Li Dan summoned Brother Mao and ordered him in a low voice, telling him to inform Zhao Jingzi, Yang Shijie, Feng Shen, Xianjie and Zhu Qing to go to the inspection yamen an hour later to discuss matters.
Turning his head, he saw Lou Liang hurrying by with his head down, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and whispered, "Mr. is back, how hard is today?"
Lou Liang nodded and looked at the hall: "Do you have a guest?"
"The emperor sent an envoy to give him the title of military cavalry captain for the merits of the students, and ordered the students to be the ambassadors of the propaganda and regimental training in central and southern Jiangxi. Therefore, the angels were entertained and a small feast was held.
Do you want to show up in the hall as well? Lord Zhao and Zhou Zhixian are also here." Li Dan asked him respectfully.
"Nope." Lou Liang shook his hand and smiled: "After a while, I said that I can't drink alcohol, write poems, sing praises of virtue, I am full of joy in the face of students, but I don't want to be disturbed by them. It's better to go to the room and pour yourself a few glasses to be comfortable, don't disturb me."
"Yes, the student ordered someone to send the wine and food to Mr.'s room, and if Lord Zhao asked, he said that Mr. was so angry with the students during the day that he had a headache, and he would rest early now."
"Nonsense, why have I ever been angry with them?" Lou Liang scolded with a smile, and hurried back to the house while no one was looking. It turned out that in addition to giving Li Dan homework instructions, he was consciously idle, this student was a worry-free student, and it was effortless to teach.
So Li Dan helped him pawn two empty rooms in the back, and cleaned them up to do a righteous preaching and teaching, which was actually just enlightening the children. I don't want to make many bunches, even a handful of wild rice and a bundle of dried beans, just to be happy.
Back at the banquet, several literati were drinking happily, clamoring to ask Zhang Ping to come up with a topic for composing a poem.
Zhang Ping said: "I just looked at the new bridge from a distance at the west gate, and at the request of Master Li, I named it 'Cross-Cloud Bridge.'" Why don't you write poems on the theme of crossing the cloud bridge today, it is also a beautiful thing for a good poem with a grand scene, how can it?"
Everyone applauded in unison, and the participants sat down at a table. Zhao Chongbi smiled and called into his little house, was sat in front of everyone, buckled with a bowl, and took two chopsticks to beat the drum and order.
A servant girl tied a flower with a sweat towel, and a table full of people came to pass the flowers, and at last when the drum stopped, the flower was in the hand, and the person was going to write a poem.
This is called "Passing the Flower Order", and the whole table is drunk by the author, and if it can't be done, the flower holder will punish himself with two cups, which is a game that needs to be played quickly.
The first drum beat sounded, but it was like raindrops, endless, everyone was wondering, the drum beat suddenly stopped, but it was the teacher who just held the flower and handed it to Zhou Zhixian, smiled and got up and said "Offering ugliness", and then went to the table to write, and read on the spot:
A bridge spans the blue waves, and the green warehouses on both sides of the river enter the picture curtain;
The water is surging and the white fish are jumping, and the canopy boat has crossed the beach.
Everyone said yes, and they all picked up their cups and drank them, and the drum beat again. This time, it was like a horse's hoof, not hurrying or slow, but it stopped abruptly just when people were slacking.
Zhao Chongbi turned around and scolded with a smile: "This doesn't even take care of his master!" After all, I got up and took the pen, and after thinking about it, I wrote two poems:
One of them:
Guxian pillow river water, there is a cross-cloud bridge;
The mountain rises to the Jinfeng, and the sky is even the shadow of the tower.
Second:
The river crosses the clouds and does not return, and the white and red lily are full of piles;
Who can distinguish the tail of the giant fish, and scatter the cormorant snow a cup.
Everyone applauded in unison, and there were two songs of Zhao Dacai's quick thinking, which was admirable. The third drum fell on Zhou Zhixian, and he got up with a smile and waved to everyone:
"Not long after this official came to Anren, he saw the old bridge and the new bridge, but it made people sigh at the changes in the world and the creation of the world, and I would like to remember them with a small poem." After finishing speaking, I went to write, and a little guy picked it up and read it aloud:
The oblique wind overflows across the cloud bridge, and the autumn cicadas send off the guests all the way;
But I remember that last year, tonight, the blue light reflected the old river bridge.
"Good!" Zhao Chongbi shouted first: "It's the demeanor of Jinshi, the love and scenery are good, this will compare me to the bottom, I will drink and punish myself with a cup!" After that, he really drank two cups, and he was happy to be humble in Zhou Zhixian again and again, and he was busy pouring empty cups for him.
Then the flowers fell into the hands of a local squire, who had to drink two glasses of his own because he couldn't think of them for a while. Further down is Zhou's:
Spring is full of river bridges, thousands of willows;
The beauty is learning to dance for the first time, and the child is also following the tide.
Zhang Ping sighed and said, "I just thought that the master's family had a way to make money, but I didn't expect a little poem to be so vivid and interesting, rare, rare, I didn't lose anything in this cup!" After that, he laughed and drank with everyone.
Flowers again
passed, but I never thought that the little guy who played the drum was naughty, the drum beat was high and low, sometimes tight and sometimes slow, but it was like joking with everyone, and it happened that Zhang Ping stopped when he received it. And they were quiet, and listened to his psalm, which was:
Qingfeng River water surrounds Chaimen, several cattle and sheep scattered villages;
White Boming fishing boats on both sides of the strait, three or five ancient trees to protect the hedges.
Cross-cloud new bridge even ancient moat, Jinfeng good air is depressed and deep.
Thousands of doors are opened, and the peach source is now a blessing to heaven.
"Hey, it's really worthy of being the person who came out of the Son of Heaven!" Li Dan screamed in his heart, but when he turned around, he saw Liu Xi looking down the steps and not coming in, so he stepped over and asked, "Why didn't Ah Xi enter the house?"
"Forget it, why bother calling them jokes when we have a disabled body?" Liu Xi smiled bitterly.
"Aren't you literate?"
"Words are knowledge, and we are not good at this."
Li Dan lowered his head and thought about it and said, "This is not good, if you don't return to the table, they will think that you are deliberately rude, and it is not good to spread it. Besides, there is Lao Zhao on it, you can't go back to the room without a sound to see his face?"
"This ......, this is also true." Liu Xi smacked his lips.
"Why don't I make a song for you, you can remember it, and you can take it out for the occasion." When it's over, you tell you that you can't drink, which is not rude, but also follows everyone's interest, and the two sides are cheap. How?"
When Liu Xi heard this, he hurriedly surrendered his hand: "San Lang helps each other, and he is really a nobleman." There will be a reward!"
Li Dan taught him to memorize it outside the door, but fortunately, this guy is smart, and he will go in happily once.
Sure enough, when everyone saw him return to the table, they shouted, and Liu Xi hurriedly confessed: "It's really not enough to drink, and it's a little longer to delay your efforts, forgive your sins, forgive your sins." So I punished myself with a drink, composed a poem, and then went back to my room to rest. What do you think?"
Everyone naturally had nothing to say when they heard this. Liu Xi drank it first, then went to the four treasures of the study room and picked up the pen, pretended to shake his head, and wrote the poem with the memory he had just memorized. Then he threw away the pen, picked up the paper, and read it himself:
In autumn, the moat becomes a river, and the new bridge across the clouds lies on the transverse waves.
The green trees and doves call women, and the nets collect the oars and the herons frighten the cranes.
"Eh, Xiao Liu is good, I didn't expect you to have two brushes!" Zhao Chongbi slapped the table in surprise.
"Thank you for the praise, but I can't hold it anymore, sue the guilt, the guilt!" Liu Xi was young, and he was afraid that he would say a few more words, so he hurriedly resigned. Li Dan called Lu Jiu and hurriedly called Liu Xi's companion to come in and help him go to his small courtyard.
Who knew that he was seen by Zhang Ping here, and shouted: "Oh no, let's have a good time here, but we forgot today's new lord!" Pull him in and ask him to compose a poem!"
Li Dan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, so he turned around and said, "Since you say that, you should congratulate me, why do you want to compose a poem in the future?"
Zhang Ping didn't care, clamoring to listen to poetry. Li Dan was helplessly pulled back to his place by him, and arched his hand towards everyone: "San Lang is young, and he is not as good as you.
There are also two Jinshi and one master in this school, isn't Dan's poem ridiculous and generous? And where did the Wensi come from in a hurry? I'm not that Cao Zijian (Cao Zhi), and I don't even have the skills of a few of you.
It's better to dedicate the song I wrote when I fought with the lake bandits at night a few days ago and returned to camp after breaking the enemy, so that I can have fun for you, what do you think?"
At this banquet, only Zhao Chongbi knew his poem "Proud of Yu Jinxi", and he didn't believe that he was not in a hurry, but he wanted to hear what kind of poems his young subordinates made after breaking the enemy, so he said with a smile:
"Listen to it, if it's good, let it go, if it's unbearable, you still need to complete tonight's homework!"
"Yes, yes!" Hearing Zhao Chongbi say this, the others gave in. So Li Dan walked to the desk, licked the ink again, and wrote:
Looking at the mountains in the north, the mountain households are stacked, and the armor is cold and five more.
The fighting spirit of the soldiers rushed to the sky, and the banner swept the enemy like a wave.
Everyone was not satisfied with it, Zhao Chongbi said that there was no way, according to what he just said, and he was fined a cup, and then redid a song. Li Dan had no choice but to do so, drank wine and wrote it, but when he read it, it was the first "Remembering Jiangnan":
Jiang Sheng
Urgent, thousand-foot lying dragon pattern;
Jinfan tooth fight for the ferry, light boat fishing fire chaos mountain dusk.
The tide hits a flock of white gulls.
The room was full of laughter, and Zhao Chongbi slapped the table angrily: "Duh, what are you doing here? Our wine order is a poem, how to get a word to make it up? Punish a drink, and write it again!"
"Alas, just say that you are not good at this, and you want to embarrass me!" Li Dan spread out his hand, but he still drank wine, obediently went to rewrite a piece of paper, and read it to the little girl:
The ancient tower towers and presses the giant ao, and the friction has been remembered to the Hongtao;
The monk returned to the bamboo courtyard at the beginning of the river, and the fishing song was not far away.
The sunset on the long bridge is quiet, and the water reflects the herons and ducks more slender;
Originally, there were few fireworks in Gudu, and the stars were full of crows in half a day.
"Well, it's not good, but it's okay. What do you think of Tongqiu (Zhang Pingzi)?" Zhao Chongbi obviously planned to let Li Dan go, so he looked at Zhang Ping.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ping opened his eyes and waved his hand: "What is this, gentle and soft, where is the demeanor of you Li Sanlang who immediately hit the thief and captured the head under the horse?" It's not a good poem!"
Before the words fell, Li Dan drank the wine that Zhu Erye had just poured for him, and said:
Tianjia Zhangnan Jinfeng City, across the cloud long bridge thousands of miles flat;
The iron cavalry broke through the enemy, and returned to the bridgehead to play and cry.
Zhang Ping blinked his eyes before saying, "It's okay, it's just ...... Finally, the sentence softened." Li Dan took another drink and said:
The general returned from a hundred battles, and the willows were still green.
I once remembered the continuous rain at the port, how can there be a cloud bridge like a mountain?
"Hmm......." Zhang Ping stroked his beard and didn't speak, Li Dan shook it to the ground: "If you ask my brother for forgiveness, tomorrow I will draw a picture of "Long Bridge Sunset" and make amends to you?" There's still a military discussion tonight, so I really don't dare to drink it anymore!"
Seeing him begging for mercy, the house laughed, and Zhao Chongbi also came to play the round. Zhang Ping asked Li Dan to write the next few poems, and told him to get the painting tomorrow, so he was staggered and sent into the backyard to rest.
The protagonist was not there, and when he heard that there was a military meeting tonight, the guests got up one after another to say goodbye. Zhao Chongbi got into the car and asked Li Dan to come up too.
He obviously drank a lot, supported his body on the pestle with his elbows, supported his cheeks with his hands, drank a cup of tea made for him by Li Dan, frowned and said, "Can such a bitter thing cure hangover?"
"Adults try it, it doesn't hurt anyway." Li Dan was so drunk that he seemed to be very excited.
"You have something to say, you hold it for a long time, don't you?" Zhao Chongbi sneered: "I will see it when you accept the order, and now there is no one, you can ask."
"My lord Mingjian, in fact, it's not a big deal, it's about the county prince of Shangrao."
After Li Dan finished speaking, he heard Zhao Chongbi sigh: "Alas, didn't I let Liu Xi tell you? Feng Ning was His Majesty's playmate and companion when he was in the palace."
Li Dan's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly said, "This Liu Xi said it, the question is...... The emperor doesn't know that Shangrao has been cut off, and the official road of the northern line is not passable, right? I'm thinking about this purpose, but how can I save people?
Besides, the prince is a needle in the sea, he must be brave in the officials, soldiers, and people, if he knows that he is gone, won't his morale plummet?"
"I know what you're saying." Zhao Chongbi sighed again: "But no matter what, you have to take him out of the bandits!"
"W-Why is that?"
"Since she was a child, the Queen Mother has liked the prince of the county and treated him like a parent. Now that Christmas (the Queen Mother's birthday) is approaching, do you want the emperor to give the Queen Mother bad news on a good day? And he is also the first feudal king to fall since the founding of this dynasty, which will shake the government and the opposition!"
"I can understand the Queen Mother's Christmas, but isn't it a little sensational to say that it shook the government and the opposition?" Li Dan lowered his voice and looked at Zhao Chongbi in disbelief.
However, he also knew that Zhao Chongbi had been familiar with etiquette and court affairs since he was a child, and he should not be a character who did not talk nonsense.
Sure enough, Zhao Chongbi observed the surroundings, and also lowered his voice and said, "I'll give you an analysis of the current situation in the imperial court, and you will understand that what I said is true.
If this matter is handled well, everyone will be happy, but if it is not handled well, the government and the opposition will be shaken, not only will the cabinet have to resign en masse, but the series of reactions caused by this will last for a long time.
If the imperial court does not have a stable and strong management, it will cause turmoil both internally and externally. His Majesty the Emperor, who has just been personally conscripted, will be in danger, do you understand?"
"Uh," Li Dan shook his head directly, "I don't understand. Your Excellency, you seem to be getting more and more powerful. What the hell is going on?"
In Li Dan's opinion, there are twenty-three county kings in the country, even if Fengning is a high-ranking county prince, because of him, the world will be in chaos, which is a bit too appalling. He felt that he was bluffed by Zhao Chongbi, and his wine was half scared to wake up!
