There is a royal garden on the north bank of Kunming Pond, which is the hunting place of the emperors of the past dynasties.

The east and west banks are full of Gonghou Gardens and Mansions, and Yang Su naturally has a manor here.

Pharmacist Li and Yang Xuanqing came here today for horse racing, so they didn't enter the manor.

Pharmacist Li asked, "Xuanqing, are we going north or south today?" ”

Yang Xuanqing patted the white hooves and said with a smile: "As long as I am intimate with this horse for a while, I will follow wherever you like." ”

He lay on the horse's back, stroking and hugging, and coaxing, and rejoiced like a child.

Pharmacist Li smiled slightly, and rode his horse south.

In the north of Kunming Pond, there are Yuan Yuan Mansion, Fei Ge Liudan, Guidian Lan Palace; However, in the south, there are green mountains and green waters, towering mountains and greenery, and cranes and pavilions.

The style of this place is:

The birds were scattered and scattered

The silk tube chirped in the air

The sinking rod continues to be unfathomable

The lotus flower is as clean as a swab

It's like being in the middle of the stream

Descend to the end of the south black

Pure immersion mountain in the south of Banpi

The shadow is slender

Although they have not read Du poems more than a hundred years later, and this place is not Mipi, but in front of them, water chestnut leaves, lotus flowers, wild rice, and lotus houses are intertwined with the pond surface, and the Kunming Pool in midsummer is embellished like a colorful splendor.

When Pharmacist Li saw such a scene, he unconsciously slowed down the horse.

Kunming Pond is the world's first pool in the prosperous era of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and Yang Xuanqing naturally often visits here.

However, it is usually after autumn, when the prince and prince come here to inspect the navy, he walks with the crowd and hunts in the garden in the north of the pond.

He had never seen the tranquility of Chi Nan in this midsummer season.

At this time, he caught up with Pharmacist Li from behind, and the two rode side by side, Yang Xuanqing couldn't help but sigh: "Usually when I come to Kunming Pool, it is always a magnificent honor and a grand ceremony, and the pool scenery I see is like a beautiful woman in makeup; Until today, I know the style of the beautiful woman. ”

Yang Xuanqing compared the Kunming Pool with a beautiful woman, and when he landed, he touched the most fragile broken string in Pharmacist Li's heart.

Pharmacist Li smiled sadly at the moment and was silent.

Yang Xuanqing naturally understood Pharmacist Li's mood, and immediately smiled: "The past is gone, and those who come can be chased, Pharmacist, why do you have to suffer like this?" ”

He jumped off the horse and proudly quoted Cao Mengde's "Short Song Xing" and said: "'Life is short, and wine should be a song'." At present, if you can't enjoy the beautiful scenery, wouldn't it be a violent thing? ”

Pharmacist Li smiled slightly, jumped off the horse with Yang Xuanqing, tied the horse, sat side by side with him on the poolside stone, and said: "Yes, life is short, and wine is a song; Good days are hard to come by, don't waste them.

But there is no wine today. ”

Yang Xuanqing said with a smile: "The mountains are dense, and the shadows of the trees are swaying; If there is wine or no wine, what can I do? ”

Seeing that he inadvertently said the sentence "Don't be stumbling", it happened to harmonize the rhyme of "singing about wine", Yang Xuanqing actually connected the sentence, so he also smiled: "Grade green mountains, wet green waves; Although the bottle of wine is que, there is a lot of pond water. ”

Is Yang Xuanqing the right person to join the poetry? He said a few jokes, originally to lure Pharmacist Li away from his sorrow.

At this time, seeing that he was in a good mood, he smiled and said: "If you use the pool water as wine, when you don't get right, the two of us will be drunk with red cheeks." ”

Pharmacist Li also smiled and said: "You and I are people who ride horses and dance swords, if you are like this mother-in-law, learn and grind, and don't wait for you to get drunk and have red cheeks, you will already be worried about gray hair." ”

Yang Xuanqing smiled heartily: "It's not! The so-called "Book of Songs" is "such as cutting, such as learning, such as grinding", which is a gentleman's business of moral articles. The two of us have horsewhips in their hands and swords hanging from their waists, even if they are white-haired, they have just become a pair of Wei Tuo wearing cloud crowns. ”

The two clapped their hands and laughed.

Wei Tuo is the protector of Buddhism, while Yun Guan is the white crown of the Taoist priest.

If Wei Tuo wears a cloud crown, it will really become a non-Buddha, non-Taoist, non-literate and non-martial four.

What's more, Wei Tuo only has one, if it is a pair of pairs, wouldn't it be even more nonsense?

After talking and laughing for a while, Pharmacist Li turned the conversation to the topic: "Xuanqing, I asked you to come out today, although it is a beautiful day, running a horse and going green, but there are other important things. ”

Yang Xuanqing smiled: "What, do you want to ask me to change careers to become a poet together?" ”

Pharmacist Li shook his head and smiled, "Definitely." I think that Prime Minister Wang and Mrs. Xie have poems that will be handed down to future generations, but if they are just for poems, they don't need to change their careers. Xuanqing, I asked you today because my brother had something to ask for. ”

Prime Minister Wang Cheng and Taifu Xie refer to the famous ministers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Dao and Xie An, both of whom are generals and prime ministers, and Yunwen Yunwu characters.

Yang Xuanqing let out an "oh" and said strangely: "Brother Ling has just returned from the north victoriously, and now he has been promoted to a general, with brilliant achievements and a wide reputation, he actually asks me?" ”

Pharmacist Li nodded and said, "Yes, my brother is exactly what I want from you." Xuanqing, you also know that my brother has been under the command of Lord Zhu Guoshi for many years. Master Shi and his brother once followed Ling Zun to discuss the wisdom of Pinggao, and they were able to take charge of Jiangnan military affairs because of Ling Zun's love and forgiveness. This time the Turks invaded the fortress, and it was also because of the recommendation of Ling Zun that Lord Shi and his brother were given the task of rejecting the Turks in the north by the holy edict, so they were able to be promoted to the rank of knight. Ling Zun Deze, don't say that it is Master Shi and his brother, even if he is below, he also feels the same way. ”

Yang Xuanqing was originally elated and talking, but when he heard Pharmacist Li mention Shi Wansui, his expression became solemn, just looking at the pool of green ripples in Kunming Pond, silent.

Pharmacist Li turned around, faced Yang Xuanqing, and said sincerely: "Xuanqing, Ling Zun, if there is anything that Master Shi and his brother can serve, please tell us bluntly." ”

Although Pharmacist Li's words were subtle, how could Yang Xuanqing not understand what he meant? The two of them had always talked about everything, but at this time, Yang Xuanqing was silent for a long time before he said, "Pharmacist, are you here for Brother Ling today, or are you here for Master Shi?" ”

Pharmacist Li said: "It's not a secret, it was my brother who asked me to come for Master Shi." The brother has always respected Ling Zun, but he and Master Shi have had a subordinate friendship for many years after all. ”

Seeing that Yang Xuanqing did not mean to avoid the topic, he said more clearly: "Xuanqing, my brother's current situation is really difficult. ”

Yang Xuanqing was stunned and played with the horsewhip in his hand, and inadvertently knocked on the grass by the pool. After a long time, he suddenly turned to look at Pharmacist Li: "If I beg my father to transfer Brother Ling out of Master Shi's command, will Brother Ling have any objections?" ”

Pharmacist Li was shocked when he heard this: "Is the situation really so serious? ”

Yang Xuanqing nodded slowly: "This matter is a foregone conclusion, and I don't have to hide it from you." ”

He held a horsewhip in his hand and pointed to the north through the Kunming Pool: "North of Weishui, the sun of Qishan, is Zhou Yuan." Thinking that in the later years of Zhou Taiwang's father, Gu Gong's father, wanted to pass on the throne to the young son Ji Li, Taibo and Zhongyong took refuge in Jiangnan to give up the throne. ”

He retracted his gaze and turned to Pharmacist Li: "Pharmacist, what do you think about this matter?" ”
