The words of the second prince caused a commotion in the hall, and everyone talked about it.

"Dare to ask the second prince, what do you mean by this? The purpose of the Beiyi people violating my Dongyang is Brother Tian?" Luo Yuanqiu asked in a loud voice.

The second prince looked at King Jin, King Jin got up, and said: "Yes, for some reason, Zhiyu makes the Beiyi people thirsty for talent, so this time the 100,000 army is on the side, and the Beiyi people's request is very simple, that is, Zhiyu will go with them." ”

The discussion in the hall became louder, and looking at Tian Zhiyu's eyes, in addition to the shocking just now, there was a little more doubt and complaint.

Luo Yuanqiu walked up to Tian Zhiyu and asked, "Little Brother Tian, do you have any dealings with the Beiyi barbarians, why do they have to get you so much?"

Tian Zhiyu couldn't imagine that the second prince and the king of Jin could divert their attention like this, and the image that he had worked so hard to build up would suddenly be lowered to the level of the enemy of the country.

Shi Guangying and the others couldn't help but be indignant, Zhang Bin stood up and said, "Lord Luo, it's like this. Brother Tian's master, once made a powerful weapon, gave it to Brother Tian, he used this weapon to kill and injure a lot of Beiyi people when he fought with the Beiyi people, so they held a grudge and wanted to have this weapon, so they poured all the country's troops to invade our border, nominally asking Brother Tian as a condition for retiring from the army, but in fact, he just wanted Brother Tian to help them make weapons. ”

Luo Yuanqiu nodded and said: "This group of barbarians really has eyes and does not know gold and jade, Brother Tian can be called a literary song, and his poetry is enough to be passed down through the ages, I thought they admired his talent, but it turned out to be for a mere weapon, and they really have eyes but no beads, and they have eyes without beads." ”

Sun Mingyuan, the inspector of Puzhou Dao, who had not spoken much throughout the night, also stood up at this time, saluted the second prince and the king of Jin, and said, "Then what is the result of our negotiations with Beiyi? Can we let the Beiyi people withdraw if Tian Gongzi does not go to Beiyi?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the second prince straightened his sleeves and said: "Yesterday, General Zhang Bin negotiated with the Beiyi people and expressed the same demand, but the Beiyi people are quite stubborn and insist that they will not withdraw their troops if they don't get rain. ”

"How can this group of barbarians explain the truth to them?" Luo Yuanqiu said angrily: "They are used to barbaric looting, and they don't understand what respect and etiquette are at all. If you want me to say that I don't have to talk about it anymore, I want to beat them hard until I dare not come again. ”

His words were very in line with the thoughts of the soldiers of Cloud City, Shi Guangying and the others secretly gave him a thumbs up, and they looked at the second prince and the king of Jin, and their faces were a little blue.

The second prince originally wanted to tell the requirements of the Beiyi people to this group of ministers, maybe they would change their attitude towards Tian Zhiyu and regard him as an ominous person, and he and the King of Jin would add a little more oil and vinegar, and then the people of Yunzhong City would want to protect Tian Zhiyu again, and they were afraid that they would be powerless.

Unexpectedly, Tian Zhiyu's performance just now has completely conquered these scholars, in their hearts, Tian Zhiyu may be the most potential literary youth in Dongyang Kingdom for more than 300 years, and if he becomes a leader in the literary world over time, it is not impossible to sweep away the cultural decline of more than 300 years.

So to hear that the Beiyi people are so brazen that they want to make weapons for them, this is simply insulting.

"The people of Beiyi have always been cruel, you have been an official in Puzhou for so many years, I am afraid that you have seen it many times," the second prince still refused to give up: "Besides, my father has always come to me, and if we can keep peace with them, we will try to keep peace, even if we make some concessions." ”

Seeing that the second prince raised the name of the emperor again, Shi Guangying's dissatisfaction with him increased a little more.

The second prince and the king of Jin deliberately want to sacrifice Tian Zhiyu in exchange for peace, I am afraid that in addition to the high-sounding reasons in their mouths, there is also their jealousy of Tian Zhiyu, after all, a young man who is all-round in civil and military affairs will seem to be too mediocre for peers like the second prince and the prince of Jin.

"General concessions are acceptable, after all, barbarians cannot be educated by common sense, but when it comes to the face of the country, they must not be bargained. ”

Luo Yuanqiu was not as crazy as he was at the beginning, and at this moment, he finally looked like a feudal official, and firmly expressed his opinion:

"Not to mention that Brother Tian carries the hope of Dongyang culture, even if he is an ordinary person, can we hand over people because of Beiyi's unreasonable demands? If they hand over this time, what about ten people next time? What about a hundred people? What about opening the city gate and surrendering next time? This move is tantamount to the six countries of cutting land and bribing Qin, how can the insatiable barbarians be satisfied?"

Shi Guangying and the others who were sitting on the field couldn't wait to applaud Luo Yuanqiu, thinking in their hearts: It's still a cultural person who can speak, and he thinks so too, but why can't he express it?

King Jin looked at Luo Yuanqiu in surprise, he had never seen Luo Yuanqiu so tough since he was in Taiyuan.

On weekdays, whatever he says is what he says, Luo Yuanqiu never seems to have a different opinion. Many times his subordinates came to the palace to complain, saying that Luo Yuanqiu ignored affairs, drank heavily during the day, and was in a mess all day long.

King Jin promised to criticize Luo Yuanqiu on the surface, but he was very happy in his heart, and he wished that he would not interfere in anything.

If he is conscientious, then how can he take power? So although Luo Yuanqiu received the most complaints every time he was evaluated, King Jin kept saying good things to the emperor and let Luo Yuanqiu sit in the seat of this pacification envoy.

But this time King Jin was really blind, he didn't expect that the strongest reaction was Luo Yuanqiu, who did the most inaction on weekdays.

He looked at Luo Yuanqiu, who was arguing with reason, and couldn't wait to demote him to the most remote small county town as a county magistrate.

"Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for maintaining a long-term peace with the barbarians through negotiations, not to mention the Han Dynasty. At the beginning of the founding of the Han Gaozu, the people's livelihood withered, the treasury was scarce, and it could only be preserved by bowing down to the ministers, until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the soldiers were strong and the horses were strong, and the country was rich. And in the back, there are countless faint kings and ministers, and they can only survive by making peace with the barbarians, what a shame is that?"

"Speaking of the former Tang Dynasty, a generation of male lords Tang Taizong conquered the Turks in the west and Goryeo in the east, not because of negotiations, but because of the courage to look down on the world and the courage to sacrifice others. I have been founding Dongyang for more than 300 years, and I have been fighting with Beiyi for more than 300 years. Besides, the biggest regret of my Dongyang for more than 300 years is that I have not been able to reproduce the cultural landscape of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not easy to have a rising star like Tian Xiaobrother, how can I give it to others? I will go back to my home, repair a book, and send it back to the capital with 100,000 yuan in a hurry, and submit it to His Majesty and the Prime Minister, and I must not let Tian Xiaobrother Mingzhu secretly vote. ”

After saying that, Luo Yuanqiu didn't wait for the second prince and King Jin to reply, so he gave a salute and turned around and left.

......

Seeing this, the second prince immediately called him, who expected that this Luo Yuanqiu, who was sick all day long on weekdays, now walked as if there was wind under his feet, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Now the second prince is really anxious, I thought it was a sure thing, but who expected that the peak would turn around, and he was about to make a soup.

However, he also knew that Luo Yuanqiu, as a pacification envoy, had the power to reach the heavens, and no one could intercept the letters of the feudal officials for any reason.

If Zhang Bin hadn't come to that place yesterday morning, maybe Tian Zhiyu would have been in the Beiyi camp now, how could there be so many things now? Maybe they were deliberately delaying time and embarrassing themselves.

This group of big-headed soldiers, there is no good thing.

The second prince looked at Tian Zhiyu again, and saw that although his face sank like water, he didn't see much joy, but the second prince could feel his spring breeze proud, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, but after thinking about it, Tian Zhiyu's cup of wine just now was mixed with the strange poison configured by Yang Jiuling, even if he didn't go to Beiyi, he wouldn't live for three months.

What about your martial arts? What about your good writing? Three months later, looking at this group of sour ministers and this group of nasty big-headed soldiers, what kind of expressions will they have when they know the news of your death.

He turned his anger into joy and said, "This Lord Luo is too anxious. I didn't say I had to hand over the rain to the Yiren. In this hurry, I wrote a letter to my father, making me feel as if I didn't know how to cherish talents. ”

He looked at the crowd again, and then said, "This night, everyone didn't eat and drink well, now everyone don't be restrained, let's eat to your heart's content." ”

King Jin immediately asked people to change the table of wine and food, and the silk and bamboo orchestra rang out one after another.

After watching a good show all night, everyone was indeed a little hungry, so they began to staggered and enjoy the delicious food of the palace.

......

Luo Qi, who was sitting in the guest position, first walked to the second prince and the king of Jin to toast, and after a few words of greeting, he came straight to Shi Guangying, and after a few words of greeting, he walked in front of Tian Zhiyu, looked at him, and said: "This Tian Gongzi, the poems of you and your master just now are very admirable. I wonder if your master has any other works? Do you ever fill in the lyrics on weekdays?"

Tian Zhiyu didn't expect that Luo Qi, who was the deputy prime minister of Shuguo, would talk to him so politely, it seems that in front of great literary works, any literati will unconsciously worship.

"My master is still mainly striking iron on weekdays, only after drinking wine or rainy days, will occasionally Yaxing make a few lines of poetry, but he does not want me to indulge in poetry and songs, but inherit his craft, he often says that a skill in the hand to eat and drink without worry, and chanting poetry will only make people vain and out of reality. ”

Luo Qi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It is understandable that when an aspiring literati is depressed all his life and sinks to the point of making a living by striking iron, he will inevitably doubt the role of literature. There have been many such people since ancient times. ”

Tian Zhiyu nodded and said, "Yes, the master is worried about the world, but he can't do anything, so his final life is too depressed, and he ends up depressed." ”

Luo Qi sighed, expressed his regret for Master Tian Zhiyu, and continued, "Brother Tian, you haven't answered my question yet. How many of your master's verses do you remember, and how many have you written yourself?"

Tian Zhiyu saw that this Luo Qi was not distracted by himself, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said: "I can still remember some of Master's casual verses, but most of them are trivial things, not as impassioned as I just said." As for myself, today is really the first time I have written in the lyrics. ”

Luo Qi is a little unconvinced, he thinks that people's writing is also gradual, and only by constantly writing and creating can he usher in an explosion after a large number of mediocre works, but he is not good at saying this in front of Tian Zhiyu.

"In fact, the content of literature should be rich and colorful, and it should not only focus on major events, but also good works. Du Gongbu can write 'the country is broken by mountains and rivers, the city is deep in spring and grass,' and the same can also be written, 'lingering butterflies dance from time to time, and the warbler is just crying,' the latter does not affect his identity as a great poet in the slightest, if a person always writes ambitions, aspirations, and feelings for his family and country, then this person is likely to be a paranoid. Luo Qi said.

Tian Zhiyu nodded and said, "Luo Xiang's words are reasonable, good works should have something to say and be close to life." My master once wrote, 'The wind sweeps the rivers and lakes and the rain darkens the village, and the sound of the four mountains makes the waves of the sea. The most amazing thing is that this poem was written on the same day as the poem "Lying in a Lonely Village and Not Mourning Yourself", and I laughed at the master at that time that he was schizophrenic. ”

Luo Qi couldn't help laughing when he heard Tian Zhiyu's words, and said: "This is the poet of life, this is the life of a poet, you can worry about the world, and you don't forget to hide at home and tease the cat, Master Ling is really a wonderful person, no wonder he can teach you such an excellent apprentice." Hey, it's a pity that the Lingshi has already gone to the immortals, otherwise I would definitely bring good wine and good food and go to have a few drinks with the Lingshi. ”

Tian Zhiyu pretended to be infinitely sad and said: "If my family can meet a noble person like Luo Xiang before my death, maybe I can show my ambitions and not be depressed for life." ”

The two sighed again, and Luo Qi finally thought of toasting with others, so he said: "There is Lord Luo to write to Your Majesty and the Prime Minister, presumably Tian Gongzi does not need to go to the wild land of Beiyi, and when I have the opportunity to go to Shuguo, I will have a good exchange of literature with you." ”

"Thank you Luo Xiang for your love, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely visit Luo Xiang. ”

Luo Qi nodded, smiled and walked towards the others, and the entourage who had been following him, dressed as a man, did not leave, but walked up to Tian Zhiyu and looked at him stunned.
