On the ninth day of June in the fifteenth year of Tianbao, the Tang Dynasty Jingshi Chang'an City, Daming Palace Hanyuan Palace.

As the first palace of the Li Tang Empire, since Emperor Taizong built this magnificent palace for Gaozu, the successive emperors of the Li family, of course, the goddess dragon who called herself Wu Zhou is not among them, and they all use this palace as the center of their lives. The emperor usually met with his ministers in this hall, listened to the government and held ceremonial activities such as the book of prayers, and it was also the administrative center of the emperor and hundreds of officials.

The main hall of Daming Palace contains the Yuan Palace, which is located on the pedestal of one zhang high, and the whole hall is four zhang higher than the ground level. Looking from afar, Hanyuan Hall is backed by the blue sky, tall and majestic, intimidating, the emperor listens to the government in Hanyuan Palace, can overlook the Chang'an City at his feet. There are three "dragon tail roads" in front of the hall, which are the steps to enter the main hall on the ground. Longwei Road is divided into three layers, there are bluestone railings on both sides, the upper railing is engraved with a claw head pattern, the middle and lower railings are engraved with a lotus pattern, and the lotus pattern is used by the formation master to pull the water sign in the five elements of the material with magic powers, which is distributed everywhere and used to dispel fire, so as to ensure that the whole hall is not invaded by fire.

There are Xiangluan, Qifeng two pavilions in front of Hanyuan Palace, and there are bell towers, drum towers in front of the pavilions. Whenever the court meeting, the hundred officials of the previous dynasty stood under the bell and drum tower under the supervision and examination of the imperial historians, waited for the morning bell to ring, and then entered the court hall in turn. While the court meeting was in progress, the supervising imperial historians and counselors stood on both sides of the railing on the upper level of Longwei Road. The ministers are divided on both sides of the hall according to their ranks, and the center of the top is the ninety-five honor who is the first in the world.

Daming Palace and its foundation Longshou Mountain seem to constitute a dragon map, Longshou Mountain is the head, including the tail belly of the Yuan Palace, driving the dragon, the dragon tail road in front of the palace, the ladder Linlin, resembling the dragon's tail. At that time, when Taizong Li Shimin built this palace, he not only mobilized the entire Taishi Bureau, but even a lot of Taoist monks with a little reputation in the country also invited a lot, and ordered them to make divination, draw talismans, and achieve the ultimate perfection in terms of building scale and guardian formation.

Tonight's Hanyuan Palace, a crescent moon crosses the delicate corner tower, sprinkling a hazy and cold moonlight on the high wall and deep palace, and the palace is brightly lit and full of people. From a distance, the bright yellow palaces seem to be rooted in the earth. The palace is nestled in the middle of the trees, revealing glazed tile roofs, just like a golden island. Duckweed is all over the ground, green and clear. The two coiled dragons on the cornice, with golden scales and golden whiskers, are vivid, introverted and infiltrated with a hideous domineering, and they want to fly when they choose people and devour!

When today's son Li Longji urgently summoned the ministers in Hanyuan Palace, it was originally a hundred thousand anxious discussions on how to deal with the rebel attack, but later because of Gao Shi's words, it turned into a singing and dancing festival, as if the hundreds of thousands of troops on the side of Tongguan have been wiped out in a snap of a finger, and the situation at this moment is more like a celebration banquet!

In the main hall at this moment, Gao Shi, who was sitting five feet away from the Heavenly Family, was in the spotlight, and everyone's eyes and ears were turning to this side, paying close attention to every move, word, deed, smile, question, and answer of the two monarchs and ministers.

When the emperor asked, Gao Shi naturally didn't dare to hide anything, and immediately figured out the wording in his heart and how to play it. Answer with the emperor, not a word is wrong, the companion is much more dangerous than the companion tiger, the tiger eats only one person, if the king eats people, but it will harm the nine clans.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the subordinate will truthfully present the rather strange and bizarre situation in that line. If there is a gaffe, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you. ”

The emperor was very casual and waved his hand:

"Love Qing, but it doesn't hurt to say it"!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is terrified. But said that it was the third autumn of Tianbao, the subordinate and the second brother Li Du have been accompanied for more than two months, I am equal to Meng Zhu Yeze hunting, writing poems in the Liangyuan of Futai, tasting the aged wine, laughing and talking about the general trend of the world, the talent of the second brother Li Du is really the only one in the life of the ministers, indulgent and happy, I am ashamed of the two in case! Brother Li was already famous all over the world at that time, although Brother Du was not famous, but in the eyes of his subordinates, the talent in Brother Du's womb was by no means under Brother Li! ”

After listening to Gao Shi's comments, the emperor had a strong interest in the unknown Du Zimei, and Li Bai's bastard thing Li Longji couldn't be clearer. That scoundrel can make his concubine study ink for him, and dare to raise a sword to slash Yang Guozhong, and once asked Gao Lishi to lift boots for him, and even got drunk and even he, the emperor's boss, is not a bird, and in the end he is really out of body and disgusted, which caused the whole court to complain, obviously even a county may not be able to do well, but he is pretentious and has to say that he is the prime minister, I want you to be the prime minister, and I am estimated to have been angry to death. But this idiot is talented, five hundred years ago, five hundred years later, I dare to assert that no one can stand out. "Look up to the sky and laugh and go out, how can my generation be a Penghao person", listening to the sour words written by dictation, it really makes people gnash their teeth and make people unforgettable.

The Emperor Gao Shi in front of him is not familiar with it, but his sentence "Mo Chou has no knowers in the future, and no one in the world knows the king" is really well written.

Just listened to him for a long time, the third person who walked with him was still above Li Gao and the others, how could there be a mountain higher than Li Bai in the world, the emperor really didn't believe it!

"Gao Aiqing, I don't know where this amazing and brilliant Du Zimei came from? Is there a masterpiece? Why is it that I have never heard of such a great talent? Could it be that there are still so many rural relics today? ”

"Returning to Your Majesty"

Gao Shi listened to the emperor's inquiry, and immediately sat upright, the first few sentences were easy to answer, and the latter sentence was much more dangerous. Du Fu was born innocent, but after being a famous artist, his works are even more exciting, and he thinks that there are many contemporary ones. It's just that the emperor's last sentence of "rural relics" is extraordinary.

Li Linfu, a generation of traitors, was afraid that the new students would enter the court after their fame, block and dilute their rights, and feared that these people would pose a threat to him, so he deceived his superiors and subordinates and concealed the world's talents. This move has made many pearls secretly invested, and how many pillars of Datang have been buried. My friend Du Fu happens to be among them,

Although His Majesty the Emperor finally set things right and disposed of Li Linfu's lineage, the years of youth are fleeting, and there is no one in the hundred people who have been delayed in the past ten years. Although the crime is in Li Linfu, the emperor also has the fault of connivance, just like An Lushan in front of him, the crime is Yang Guozhong, but the emperor cannot be exempted from responsibility. Yang Guozhong just gambled and dragged the emperor into the water to protect himself, he is not as good as Yang Guozhong, that stupid person can only say stupid things and do stupid things, he is Gao Shi, but his surname is high, and he is smart.

"There may be relics in the countryside, but after the turmoil, as far as the minister knows, the talented people are all inspired by His Majesty, probably each has its own ability to show its ability, and the fortune of the Tang Dynasty is still steaming!"

Looking at Gao Shi's answer, it was an understatement, that is, he resolved the embarrassment of the emperor, and slapped His Majesty's dragon fart, which is worthy of the surname Gao, which is really high.

After listening to Gao Shi's answer, the emperor really felt relieved, and only felt that the grape wine in the cup was more mellow and sweet.

As for Brother Du, although the ancestors are not famous families, they also study to establish the world, the ancestors have been officials since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the family has a very good family history. His ancestor is the slightly famous Du Xianyan, and even the Holy Empress of Tianshun is quite sure of his ancestor's talent! ”

Gao Shi truthfully reported Du Fu's family history, and the emperor was also a little impressed. After thinking silently for a while, he remembered Du Xianyan.

"I never thought that this person was actually Du Xianyan's grandson, but I don't know if this little Du will be like his grandfather, talented and arrogant!"

It turns out that Du Fu's grandfather is indeed a well-known character, firstly, he is indeed talented, and secondly, his character is really arrogant. Du Xianyan was born in Jinshi, had a deep family education, was as famous as Song Zhiwen at that time, worked in the five laws, and was good at articles. How well is his poetry written? A poem "Traveling in Early Spring with Jin Ling Lu Cheng" was respected by later generations as the first of the five laws in the early Tang Dynasty, and can even be regarded as the founder of the five-character rhythm poem. Being able to create a genre is quite high in the history of literature. His sentence "The flowers do not bloom, and the old and new snow are still left" can also be regarded as a stroke of genius.

It's just that this Du Juan is arrogant and has no one in his eyes, so his temperament is naturally unpopular in the officialdom, even to the point of being annoying.

How crazy can Du Xianyan be? He once said: "My article should be Qu, Song should be an official, and my pen should be the north of Wang Xi." Look at it, he can't look down on Qu Yuan and Song Yu's articles, and he also scoffs at Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. The ancients naturally didn't jump out and deal with him, but he was also unkind to his contemporaries.

When Du Xianyan was serving as a direct scholar of the Xiuwen Pavilion in the capital, he once got drunk and said to the people at the same table, saying: "Su Wei will die." You must know that Su Wei was Du Xianyan's top boss at that time, and he was also a celebrity at that time. Others didn't understand what this meant, so they asked him why Su Wei died? Du Xianyan actually replied that if Su Wei saw the article I wrote, he would definitely die of shame. This is simply inexplicable, I can't cry or laugh, such a person can't be beaten by others, it's a god's eyes!

Du Xianyan was later demoted because of his broken mouth and causing trouble, and after being sent to the local state capital, he still did not repent, and he still did not pay attention to his colleagues or superiors, and often sneered. His colleagues and superiors were fed up with the birdman's anger and sent him to prison and sentenced to death on some charges.

Du Xianyan has a sixteen-year-old son named Du He. Du He heard that his biological father was wronged and decided to avenge his father, Du He was both civil and military since he was a child, and he was good at gun and stick kung fu, coupled with the blood of a young man, he heard that his father was wronged and imprisoned, so he sneaked into the governor's mansion and assassinated Zhou Jizhong, who wronged his father, Du He was also killed on the spot by the guards of the yafu because his two fists were invincible to four hands. As soon as this incident came out, it shocked the government and the opposition, and everyone called Du and Ganglie a filial son, and Xu Guogong Su Cheng personally made an epitaph for Du He. Wu Zetian also heard about this, so he summoned Du Xianyan to enter the Beijing Division to personally interrogate the case, and after knowing the inside story, he sighed at Du He's enthusiasm, and secondly, he appreciated Du Xianyan's poetry and literary talent, not only exonerated him, but also awarded the book Zuolang, and then moved to the kitchen department member Wailang.

In addition to being arrogant and boundless, Du Xianyan is even more disdainful. He once climbed to the brother of Wu Zetian's favorite man Zhang Yizhi for personal gain, and also took the opportunity to attack the Li clan with Song Zhiwen. The year Du Fu was born, Tang Xuanzong succeeded to the throne, and Du Xunyan died of illness four years ago. Du Xianyan was fortunate to die early, if he lived a few more years, he would definitely end up like Song Zhiwen, and he would inevitably be settled by the iron-blooded emperor. Li Longji is definitely not merciful to those who cling to Zhang Yi's brother and attack the Li clan.

After knowing the origin of this little Du, Emperor Xuanzong couldn't help but be interested in this unmasked little Du from the bottom of his heart. What kind of melon bears on the vine, the grandfather is like this, the grandchildren are still, and they will no longer inquire at the moment, and Gao Shi will continue to report.

Gao Shi is more exquisite, and he is already perfect, and he doesn't want to continue to entangle Du Fu's problems, but he really cherishes this friend's talent, and he can't bear to let his friend work all his life, endure the emperor's unhappiness, and cautiously ask tentatively:

"I wonder if Your Majesty has ever heard of the "Three Great Gifts"?"

Xuanzong stopped the wine in the cup and thought for a long time before asking tentatively:

"But "Chao Xian Taiqing Palace Fu", "Chaoxiang Taimiao Fu", and "Something in the Southern Suburbs Fu" are the three articles?"

Gao Shi was overjoyed when he heard this, his hands and feet trembled with excitement, and he hurriedly replied sincerely:

"Your Majesty is truly a famous king through the ages! Wen Taowu is not inferior to Taizong, it is these three articles that can help His Majesty to memorize it, and Brother Du can enjoy the emperor's grace! ”

Xuanzong listened to such compliments, his heart was very useful, he has been aiming at Taizong all his life, and he is bound to be comparable to Taizong's merits, and now he can be recognized by the courtiers, and the words of recognition are different from those who are not sick and moaning to praise and pat the horse, the words are sincere and excited, don't you see Gao Shi excited to dance quickly, if it weren't for the monarch and ministers, I really can't wait to kowtow to myself!

"Could it be that these three articles were actually done by this person?"

"Back to Your Majesty, these three articles are written by Du Fu. Hearing the words and knowing the king, Brother Du's talent and character, I think Your Majesty will definitely see everything! ”

If this is the case, this man is truly an unborn talent! I still remember that I was very happy when I first read these three articles. ”

After a pause, the Emperor continued:

"I remember that it was the first month of the tenth year of Tianbao, according to the old rites, to hold the three major ceremonies of sacrificing the Taiqing Palace, the Taimiao and the heaven and earth, and there were these three major gifts in the pre-sacrifice offerings. Could it be that he can't try? Otherwise, how could I not know with such talent? ”

When Gao Shi heard this, he sneered in his heart, how could a genius who could write "will be the top of the mountain and see the mountains at a glance" when he just entered the WTO at the age of twenty-three, how could he not even pass the pediatric examination? After the examination, I only got the qualification of "participating in the selection order", but I just waited for the court to assign it, and finally I couldn't get rid of it! If it weren't for the fact that the main examiner was still Li Linfu, today's Du Fu would have been a red-robed courtier!

"Back to Your Majesty, Brother Du is not only highly talented, but also has an excellent character. This gentleman has the world, his ambitions are magnificent, he is compassionate to the world, he is inspired by what he has learned, he has never been pretentious, his line has never been dirty, and his gestures are faintly saintly. The subordinates are extremely impressed! It's just that all kinds of twists and turns have not been able to shine! ”

Li Bai and Du Fu, Gao Shi obviously admires the latter. Li Bai is a dashing person, romantic and uninhibited, and faintly out of the dust. The three of them have been looking for immortals for a few months, and in Gao Shi's opinion, the immortals are actually just around the corner, isn't Li Bai an immortal with his words and deeds. Li Bai is not only known for his talents, but also has a deep sense of Taoism, and even a swordsmanship, every time he goes to famous mountains and rivers, he can always find a few friends in those inaccessible places. Others are in contact with each other for a longer time, the deeper they understand, Li Bai is the opposite, the longer they get along, the shallower they understand, and he has countless secrets waiting for you to discover, today I saw one, and tomorrow two will pop out, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, archery and horse riding, cooking, steaming, fishermen and farmers, it seems that there is no Li Bai will not, do you say that such a person is a god, is it a demon.

Du Fu is different, like him, he was born in poetry and books, and he is an ordinary person in addition to being well-educated. Li Bai is a cloud, and Du Fu is a mountain. So in comparison, Gao Shi prefers the flesh and blood that can be touched and grasped. Today is finally a chance to meet the saint, he knows in his heart that from tonight, the Tang Dynasty will definitely have a place for him, so take this opportunity to say a few more good words for his friends. As for Li Bai, it's not that he doesn't want to ask for the emperor's favor, but everyone in the world knows that the emperor's favor to Li Bai is a few more floors than giving him Gao Shi.

At this moment, Emperor Xuanzong also re-acquainted himself with Du Fu through Gao Shi, and secretly wrote down in his heart that if there is a chance, this person still has to be salvaged and tried to use it, and he must be a pillar of the country. After sorting out the details of the three people in this line, the monarchs and ministers began to gossip, and Gao Shi also reported the strange things they encountered!

"Back to Your Majesty, the subordinate remembers that it was in the Wangwu Mountain Boundary. This mountain was enshrined by His Majesty as "the first cave of Taoism", the beautiful scenery is self-evident, and the rumor of "infinite scarcity of children and grandchildren" alone is worth visiting. Brother Li, as always, said that there are old friends and immortals in this mountain, and they deserve to visit. This immortal chief is called Sima Chengzhen incognito, and his majesty knows it! ”

This Sima Immortal in Gao Shi's mouth, Emperor Xuanzong didn't know it, he knew it too well. Since Gao Shi said about Wangwu Mountain, Li Longji's heart immediately became vigilant, it was the biggest secret in this life, but Li Bai also knew, if it was true, Li Bai would have to die immediately.

Li Longji, who was thinking about it, stabilized his temperament, first perfectly concealed the killing intent, and listened to this Gao Shi continue to speak.

The arrogant Li Longji has few people who sincerely admire the talents of the world, but he treats this Sima Chengzhen with deep courtesy and calls him "Brother Dao".

As a descendant of Lao Tzu Li Er, after Emperor Xuanzong succeeded to the throne, he deliberately issued an edict, saying that in order to consolidate the fortune of the emperor, a special ceremony was held to crown the Taishang Xuanyuan Emperor Lao Tzu as the "Great Sage Ancestor Xuanyuan Emperor", and later named the "Holy Ancestor Dao Xuanyuan Emperor", and Tianbao was awarded the title of "Great Sage Ancestor Gao Shang Jinque Xuanyuan Emperor". And in the whole country to build the Laozi Temple, the two capitals were renamed Taiqing Official, Taiwei Palace, Bozhou Laozi Temple is also called Taiqing Official, and the states of the world are renamed Ziji Palace. All the palaces are designed to be the system of the palace, and the etiquette of sacrificing the Taiqing officials is the same as the sacrificial Taimiao. Xuanzong also ordered the casting of Lao Tzu statues in various places, or the painting of Lao Tzu statues. Lao Tzu was not only the "holy ancestor" of the Tang Dynasty, but also became the protector of the country and the god of protection.

As for the reason behind such a big effort, only a few people in the world know.

Sima Chengzhen is the twelfth generation master of the Maoshan Sect of the Shangqing School of Taoism, with a slight character and self-named "Bai Yunzi", which is said to be a descendant of Sima Kui of Cao Wei Taichang. He learned the Tao when he was young, but he had no intention of being an official, and later he was inspired by the heavens and men to apprentice to the Taoist priest Pan Shizheng of Songshan Mountain, and began to learn the Taoism of the Shangqing Sutra, talismans, guidance, bait, etc., and lived in seclusion in Yuxiao Peak of Tiantai Mountain. This person is erudite and talented, good at literature, very deep cultivation, Taoist supernatural realm is even more unpredictable, and likes to study the seal book, the seal book he wrote is self-contained, called "Golden Scissors Book", and lives in seclusion in Tiantai Mountain Yuxiao Peak on weekdays.

As early as Xuanzong's grandmother Wu Zetian heard of his great reputation, he was summoned to Luoyang, Kyoto, and the goddess Long first praised him for his high practice, and then saw his immortal magic power after he personally surrendered to the hand. Later, Tang Ruizong Jingyun summoned him to the palace in the second year, and the emperor Li Dan personally asked him about the number of yin and yang and the matter of the country, and he replied that the number of yin and yang was "heresy", and the country should be based on "non-action", and quoted scriptures from this book, and put forward a lot of heavenly mantras. His answer was neither humble nor arrogant, and it was very simple and very much in line with the emperor's wishes, and he was given a magic weapon, a treasure qin, and a xia pattern veil.

When he arrived at Xuanzong himself, he was unwilling to be unwilling, and he also personally sent his brother Sima Chengyi to welcome his brother Sima Chengzhen into the palace in the ninth year of Kaiyuan, and received the seal in person and was enshrined as the Taoist emperor. In the fifteenth year of Kaiyuan, he was summoned to the palace because of secret affairs, and asked him to choose a good place in Wangwu Mountain and build a balcony for living. And according to his wishes, build a true monarch temple in each of the five mountains. Xuanzong ordered him to write the "Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu" in three fonts, publish the text and engrave it as a stone scripture, and the prime minister at that time, Zhang Shuo, Zhang Jiuling, etc., all took this immortal as a teacher. In the twenty-third year of Kaiyuan, Sima Chengzhen was promoted to immortality, at the age of ninety-six, Xuanzong personally issued an edict and posthumously presented him as a doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, known as "Mr. Zhengyi". The edict took his former residence in Nanyue as the "view of reducing the truth" and ordered his disciple Xue Jichang to preside over his Taoist temple. And specially ordered to let the Hengzhou Mansion casting instrument bronze bell give in the view, this bell shape is tight, the talisman is high and profound, weighs 4,000 catties, and got the "Mr. Zhengyi" legacy fairy nourishment, shock the mountains and rivers, subduing demons and subduing demons, is a rare Taoist treasure.

Hearing that Li Bai was going to Wangwu Mountain with his friends to find this real person, Xuanzong was murderous, but he couldn't help but laugh at it. It seems that there is really no wandering around me in vain, and the real immortals and fake demons still know a few, but if you really know something that you shouldn't know, then you are killing yourself, and you can't complain about my cruelty. In the past, "Bai Yunzi" greatly admired Li Bai, appreciated his talent, and loved his uninhibitedness, as the saying goes, Li Bai Taoism was born natural and was a good root bone for cultivating immortals. Li Bai himself also admires and loves this old immortal, and just after being sent away by the emperor, he went straight to "Bai Yunzi", but you Li Twelve don't do your homework, this trip to Wangwushan is destined to be a trip for nothing!

Haha, fun and interesting!

Hmph, kill it, kill it!
