The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 287 Li Longji, It's Better to Die Earlier (Full Order)

"Princess Huizhi Lanxin, I can't hide this little trick from the princess' eyes and ears."

Bai Gui replied.

Although the poem of Qin Guan he wrote is extremely talented, but it can be used at this time, so it is inevitable that there is a sense of clinging to the powerful.But... Ordinary dog ​​legs clinging to the powerful, and great poets and great writers clinging to the powerful, that's different, far from it.

So instead of pretending to be ignorant, pretending to be noble, it is better to be secular.

"This is the access token for my Taoist temple."

"I'll give it to you."

"When you go to Chang'an for the imperial examination, if you have time, you can come to my Taoist temple... Forget it, you decide for yourself."

Princess Jinxian hesitated for a while, called the female officer, handed Bai Gui an access token for Jinxian temple, and said.

When Li Longji, Princess Yuzhen, and Princess Jinxian were still young, Wu Zetian killed their biological mother Concubine Dou De, threw her body into the wilderness, and was imprisoned in the deep palace for more than ten years. Therefore, in order to protect herself, Princess Yuzhen Both Princess Jinxian and Princess Jinxian have made women's crowns since they were young. After leaving the palace, they did not build a princess mansion at this time, but built a Taoist temple in Shengyefang.

The Taoist temples of the two princesses, like their titles, are Yuzhen Temple and Jinxian Temple respectively.

Don't think that this token is just a proof of entry and exit, but with this, you can barely be regarded as Princess Jinxian's guest and close person.

"If you go to Chang'an, you will definitely visit Jinxianguan."

Bai Gui put the token back into his sleeve and cupped his hands.

From the fairy boy to the guest of honor, the normal guest of the curtain, Princess Jinxian's treatment of him has changed.

Extenuating circumstances!

The poems he writes now have proved his talent and learning. He went to participate in the Jinshi department, not to mention that he is a young hero.And it is normal not to be selected once. There are many people who take the exam several times before they are admitted to the Jinshi department.

It would be a strange thing for such a person not to go to win over.

……

Bai Gui accompanied Princess Jinxian and had a fast meal.

Princess Jinxian and her party, who went on an outing in the southern suburbs, returned to Chang'an.

Chang'an is only a few miles away from Shaoling Plateau.

In the year of Youxianguan, there are also dozens of nobles and grandchildren accepted.It's just that Bai Gui didn't deliberately make friends with them like he did with Princess Jinxian, but did what ordinary Taoist priests should do, and never stood out.

Making friends with powerful people does not care about quantity, but about quality.

Needless to say, Li Longji's feelings for his two younger sisters are closer than his own son.

Have a ten-year relationship.

After all, a sister who shares weal and woe.

Moreover, compared to other rich and powerful people in the city, Princess Jinxian is young and beautiful, and she is obviously much easier to deal with.

After a few days.

Bai Gui resigned to Master Chen, the master of Youxian Temple.

He is just a Taoist sojourner in Youxian Temple, and he has never received a talisman, so he can be called Bai Jushi.

Only people who believe in Taoism.

"You went to Chang'an to take the Jinshi examination, martial arts, and both civil and military subjects. I haven't seen much, but you can have such ambition, it's very human."

"This is some incense money collected by Guan Nei a few days ago. I prepared it for you. You can pick it up yourself."

Master Chen saw Bai Gui give him a long bow, nodded slightly, stroked his long beard and said with a light smile.

Youxian Temple is one of the lower temples of Zongsheng Temple, and there is no shortage of money.

And Bai Gui has a bright future, he has always had a good impression of Bai Gui who lives in the temple, and it is an elegant taste to give some Cheng Yi as a parting gift.

Bai Gui thanked and accepted Cheng Yi.

Not many, more than ten.

Quite heavy.

In the Tang Dynasty, gold and silver were only valuables, not common currency.

He wrapped the tens of pennies around his waist, and it was a heavy pile. Fortunately, he had practiced martial arts, otherwise it would be difficult to walk with the money.

Coil wrapping is named because people in ancient times wrapped money around their waists when they traveled long distances.

He bowed deeply again to say goodbye.

Bai Gui walked out of the Wandering Immortal Temple, and when he arrived at the archway in front of the temple, Chang Ji had already helped him lead the horse to the hitching post.

"Meihe, take care all the way."

The blue-robed Taoist made a speech and said.

"Take care of yourself!"

Bai Gui got on his horse and rode on the horse. This horse was a brown one, not a good one. It couldn't be compared with the white horse he got from the White Mansion when he was in Yanjing, but it was still considered average. horse.

This horse is a Turkic horse, which was specially bought by the Bai family of Xiapi for him to practice literature and martial arts.

lean less.

The white horse drove all the way to Chang'an City.

"There is a Tang Dynasty in Zhaozhao, and the heavens serve all nations." - He Zhizhang.

Only after seeing Chang'an City at this time can we know what the ancient prosperity is.There is a lot of traffic, people come and go, a look of flowers and brocades, and a fire cooking oil. Although there are poor people in cold clothes, their mental outlook is not comparable to that of the poor.At this moment, Datang has just experienced Shenlongzhengbian and Tanglongzhengbian, and he is already on the verge of falling...

It is far inferior to the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the Kaiyuan and Tianbao years!

"The family background left by Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong is rich."

With a sigh of emotion, Bai Gui got off his horse and took the reins and walked towards Shengyefang.

As a native of Chang'an, he has an impression of Shengyefang. The Wu Mansion where Zhou Ying lives is actually a mansion built on the site of Shengyefang. Kai Ying set the tone when he built Daxing City, and it has not changed for thousands of years.

"Hundreds of houses are like a game of Go, and Twelfth Street is like a vegetable garden."

"Bai Letian's poem..."

"Wait, I'm Bai Letian's uncle now, it seems impolite to chant the poems of my own descendants."

He shook his head and walked to West Market.

I asked for a piece of Hubing, and a bowl of noodle soup sprinkled with flax.

Hubing is freshly baked, shaped like a pot helmet, baked golden, with white sesame seeds sprinkled on it, and has a tangy aroma.

After eating, hearty.

Pay and leave.

From time to time, Bai Gui led his horse to Shengyefang, Jinxian Temple.

Among the mansions, Jinxianguan is relatively easy to recognize. After all, Taoist temples are somewhat different from ordinary mansions in shape, and Jinxianguan and Yuzhenguan are adjacent to each other, so they can be seen at a glance.

He handed over the pass token and famous thorn of Jinxian Temple to Menzi.

Famous thorns are famous posts.

"It's Daoist Bai, please come in, please come in."

The door politely led Bai Gui to the living room of Jinxian Temple.

As expected by Bai Gui.

Even if he had this access token, it was still difficult for him to meet Princess Jinxian.

He can only secretly think that he has experience for a long time, and he only comes when he is full.

Waited for about an hour.

Only then did the female Taoist in the temple come and ask him to straighten up his appearance and go to meet Princess Jinxian.

The maids in Jinxian Temple also dress up as female crowns.

The maid dressed as a nun walked into the backyard together, walked through layers of moon gates, walked to a courtyard, and saw a man and a woman playing chess.

The girl is Princess Jinxian, dressed similarly to the past.

The man was dressed in a bright yellow python robe and a crown of virtue. He was about twenty years old, handsome and handsome.

Bai Gui saw that his appearance was somewhat similar to that of Princess Jinxian, and the two looked friendly, and he had already made a rough judgment in his heart that this young prince should be Tang Minghuang Li Longji, the current prince of the Tang Dynasty.

"pity……"

"It's too late."

He secretly thought.

If Li Longji died earlier, he should be regarded as a perfect emperor, with meritorious deeds in martial arts and martial arts.

The two played chess silently, Bai Gui stood aside, only watching the chess, not talking.

In terms of chess skills, he can clearly see that Li Longji has been giving way to his younger sister.Tang Minghuang's literary accomplishment is still very high, and the basic skills of playing chess are not a problem.

"This is the little Taoist priest I met a few days ago."

"Very talented."

"Let's say... that Jinke participated in Jinshi and martial arts at the same time."

After Princess Jinxian conceded defeat, she paused for a moment, thinking of something, Zhu Lips lightly opened and introduced.

"Oh?"

"Take part in Jinshi and martial arts at the same time?"

Li Longji couldn't help playing chess with his right hand froze, and the white jade chess piece was caught between the index finger and middle finger.

He raised his head to look at Bai Gui, and saw that this Taoist man was rich and handsome, although he did not look like a fairy, but he had a poetic spirit in his belly, which was incomparable to ordinary people, and he felt a little curious in his heart.

To be honest, there have been many people with both civil and military skills since ancient times. It was just a matter of leisure for people in ancient times.But since Jinshi and Martial arts became available, it is extremely rare for people who want to take both subjects at the same time, and those who can succeed are even more rare.

If Bai Gui can pass Jinshi and Martial Arts, he is really a rare talent.

Even if he can only pass the Jinshi Department, he is one of the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty.

"I just remembered that when you came back from an outing in the southern suburbs to pray for blessings that day, you got a pair of poems, and then showed them to Zhong Xiang and several prime ministers in the Zhengshitang, and said that you would let them read some papers..."

"I still remember that poem."

"It seems that the eighth younger sister is thinking about mortals."

Li Longji shook his head and smiled.

As the elder brother of Princess Jinxian, he was more concerned about the marriage between Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen at this time, but these two girls were cultivating Taoism since childhood, and they refused to marry. Let him and his father fuck Broken heart.

"Where is the brother talking, I see that he is really talented, so I introduced it to you..."

"Forget it if you don't listen, anyway, he will go to the Jinshi Department, and after the Ministry of Officials closes the examination, he will be granted an official position."

Princess Jinxian was dissatisfied.

Seeing this, Li Longji sighed, then turned to look at Bai Gui. "A few days ago, my father went on a tour and stayed in the palace at night. I dreamed that the sky was full of rays of light and the clouds were lingering. I thought it was a good omen for my Tang Dynasty, so I planned to cast a bell and hang it in the Jinglong Temple in Chongrenfang."

"I heard that you are good at calligraphy and have the confidence to be admitted to the Jinshi Department. You must be good at writing poems and poems. Jinglong Temple is a Taoist temple. You have been in Taoism for a long time... Now this clock still lacks an inscription engraved on the body of the clock..."

"I also ask your Excellency to write a letter for this. If it is feasible, I will ask my father to reward you."

he said slowly.

"Jing Yunzhong?"

Bai Gui was slightly surprised when he heard this.

The bells of the Spring Festival Gala in later generations come from the Jingyun bell cast in the second year of Jingyun. The inscription engraved on the Jingyun bell was written by Tang Ruizong Li Dan himself.When he was in the Normal School in the provincial capital, when he went to the Forest of Steles in the Confucian Temple to copy, he copied Li Dan's handwriting.

But obviously, Li Dan's handwriting was written in the tone of his emperor, such as this sentence, "I am eager to be honest, and I want to think about Jiuxuan."

Obviously impossible for him to copy.

In addition, the content written by Li Dan is not very good.Even though Li Longji neglected some writing styles, it is obvious that his writing is determined to be difficult to catch the eyes of Tang Minghuang. Tang Minghuang's literary level is top-notch among emperors.

He pondered for a while, then walked to the chess playing table, someone had already prepared pens and paper.

The most suitable inscriptions written on the Jingyun bell are Jiao Ci. Many people don't know the Jiao Ci, but they can understand a lot when they mention the Qing Ci written for Emperor Jiajing.Qingci, also known as Qingci, later became the general name of Jiaoci and Zhaici. It is a kind of talisman used by Taoist priests to play heaven or summon gods. It is named after it is written on ivy paper.

Qingci is actually the memorial document dedicated to the gods in the Taoist fasting ceremony, and it is a sacrificial poem.The Qing words used in different Zhaijiao ceremonies are different.

However, Qing Ci in the Tang Dynasty was still restricted to the Taoist sacrificial ceremony. In the Song and Ming Dynasties, Qing Ci shined brightly.

Bai Gui has seen many Daoist works in later generations, and he never forgets them with his photographic memory. He is already familiar with some old Taoist poems.

So, prepare to pick up a pen and write.

But when I was writing, I paused for a moment, thinking that since this was written by Tang Ruizong Li Dan himself, could it be... In the prosperous Tang Dynasty of Nuo Da, there were few educated people who could write ancestral poems?

This is impossible!

Not to mention Zhang Ruoxu, whose single poem overwhelmed the entire Tang Dynasty, who was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty at that time, who was Yi Yi's generation, with first-class Fu.

Where is it his turn to write this green poem.

However, after only thinking for a while, Bai Gui thought of a suitable Qing Ci.

Qin Guan's "Qing Ci after Dengdi".

He changed it a bit and wrote:
"I steal it, the luck of the heavens is perfect, and it is not expected to be rewarded; there are so many people, it really depends on prayers. ... Fu Nian, the ministers are born and humble, and they are always in Qin... A private family Anyan, there is no potential for disease Health; the official fortune is prosperous, and there will be no slander or injury. The minister has no responsibility."

After finishing writing, he wrote another famous Qing Ci, "Kyushu is angry and relies on wind and thunder, and ten thousand horses are silent. It is sad. I hope the Lord of Heaven will revive and send down talents of all kinds."

If it were the imperial examinations in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, he would never be so radical.

But who told you that this is Datang? After you become famous, you can "pass the list", and your name can only be on the Jinshi list.

It is not too much to make use of the topic.

As for saying that he is a minister, it is not a big deal, he is not a real grassroots person, he is a scholar with a family background, although it is a bit presumptuous to call himself a minister, but obviously, everyone will not care about this aspect.

Similarly, in the whole world, is it the king's land, and the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers.He called himself a minister, but it was easier to win favor.After all, everyone recognizes talent, and it is really not difficult to become an official.

"It's well written. These two Qingci poems are well written, one long and the other short."

"It's just to write the inscription for Jing Yunzhong. It's a little inappropriate. It's better to let the father write it himself."

"You are very good!"

Li Longji clicked his tongue in amazement.

There is no shortage of talented people in Tang Dynasty, but there are really not many people as intelligent as Bai Gui at his age.And Bai Gui's intelligence is not like Wang Bo's, which is unrestrained and high-spirited, which makes people frown.

Just right, with the heroic spirit of a teenager, but also the calmness and alertness that do not belong to a teenager.

"His Royal Highness, I don't know if I can ask the heavenly officials to review these two Qingci poems."

(Tianguan, Zhouli records, there are six officials in the court, the head of the Tianguan Tomb, and the total imperial officials. In the first year of Tang Wuhou Guangzhai, the Ministry of Officials was changed to Tianguan, and in the first year of Tang Zhongzong Shenlong, it was changed back, but in the Tang Dynasty Generally speaking, Minister of the Ministry of Officials is called Tianguan.)
Bai Gui bowed slightly, with confidence in mind.

The person in front of him was Li Longji. Li Longji even tolerated Li Bai, which shows that this is a magnanimous emperor.And now that Li Longji is fighting for power with Princess Taiping, it is impossible to let him, a "sage", be more thirsty for talents than Tianbao years.

The imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty were not like the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which had a series of methods that prohibited cheating, such as the ambiguity system. If you want to get a Jinshi, you must not only have a certain strength, but also help from outside the examination room.
