Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 460 The poorest of the four masters of the early Tang Dynasty

Li Qinzai was really shocked.

King Luo Bin, one of the Four Heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, although his official career has been miserable, he is a well-established master in literature.

Looking carefully at the big man in the literature and poetry circles in front of him, Luo Binwang is about 30 years old now, wearing a simple and old gown. The gown seems to be old and looks a bit ill-fitting, but it is still ironed and smooth.

I couldn't afford a jade belt around my waist, so I used a piece of brocade cloth embedded with a few iron buckles to replace it. The heels of a pair of Qingyun boots on my feet were almost worn out, so that in order to reduce wear and tear, King Luo Bin seemed to be standing on tiptoe no matter he was standing or walking. The posture looks a bit arrogant, like a street slut who collects protection money.

After looking it over, Li Qinzai couldn't help being amazed.

The word "poor and sour" should be tailor-made for King Luo Bin, right?
If he hadn't reported his name just now, Li Qinzai would have given him a few pennies to give him alms.

"You are King Luo Bin?" Li Qinzai looked at him in disbelief.

Were the Four Heroes of the early Tang Dynasty all so down and out?

King Luo Bin stood in front of him with his chest upright, his expression was a bit reserved, but also a bit arrogant: "I'm right here."

Li Qinzai clapped his hands and said happily: "I have admired you for a long time."

King Luo Bin was startled, and immediately said joyfully, "Do you know Li Xianbo?"

"I know, of course I know. Your excellent works have been spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. Which scholar has never heard of your name, 'A confidant in the sea is like a neighbor in the world'. Back then, I stayed in school until after eight o'clock before I was able to recite the full text..."

Luo Binwang Xinyue's face froze immediately, and she lowered her face in embarrassment: "...I didn't do it."

Li Qinzai was stunned, rubbing his hands together in embarrassment: "Ah, maybe I misremembered, 'How many people fought in ancient times'?"

King Luo Bin's cheeks flushed, and his face became more and more ugly: "I didn't do it either."

"'If relatives and friends in Luoyang ask each other, just say that I am in Chang'an City'?"

"……no."

"'Wild fire, in spring'?"

"...Uncle Li, why don't you just slap your face, it might feel better in your heart." King Luo Bin said with a sad face.

Li Qinzai became a little impatient: "That's not true, that's not true either, did you spend money to buy the Four Heroes?"

King Luo Bin sighed sadly: "I have little talent and learning, and I am not good enough to seek advice from Li County Bo. Let me go!"

As soon as he turned around to leave, Li Qinzai suddenly felt blessed and grabbed him: "I know! 'Goose goose goose, singing to the sky', right? Right?"

King Luo Bin looked up at the sky speechlessly.

There are quite a few good works in his life, but the only one he can remember is his play when he was seven years old.

Or you should delete me...

However, thinking of his bleak future and the kindness of the county head of Jinxiang, King Luo Bin decided to endure it.

Finding a job is not easy, as it has always been.

"Li Xianbo has a good memory, and "Ode to the Goose" was written by me." King Luo Bin said dejectedly.

Li Qinzai said happily: "I told you that I have admired you for a long time, right? Your poem is not bad. It was the first poem I memorized when I was young. It is a good poem! It has profound meaning and is thought-provoking. It must be a quatrain passed down through the ages. "

King Luo Bin bowed to thank him helplessly, and just as he stood up, he suddenly recalled the few lines of poems that Li Qinzai had mispronounced just now.

"There are bosom friends in the sea, how many people have fought in ancient times, and they will be born again when the spring breeze blows..." King Luo Bin murmured in ecstasy.

After waking up, Luo Binwang was shocked. Li Xianbo's words just now are all wonderful poems, and he has never heard of them before. Obviously, they were written by Li Qinzai himself.

Buzzing in his mind, Luo Binwang finally understood that just now Li Qinzai seemed to have no intention of misrepresenting his works, but every sentence he uttered was much better than what he wrote.

It was clearly beating his arrogance, implicitly warning him not to be arrogant and arrogant.In terms of talent, how old are you?

After figuring out the joints, Luo Binwang suddenly became clear, and his expression suddenly became respectful and humble.

Bowing to Li Qinzai, King Luo Bin sighed, "Everyone in the world says Li Xianbo's talent is rare in ancient and modern times, and the emperor treats him as a national scholar. Today, I finally learned personally and worshiped him!"

Li Qinzai blinked in confusion. Although he didn't know why this guy was suddenly arrogant and then respectful, he basically understood the meaning and he accepted it.

In fact, Li Qinzai talked for a long time just now, but he didn't dare to say what Luo Binwang's works he really remembered.

This guy, like Li Jingye, is also a hidden version of the anti-thief. Luo Binwang's most awesome work in his life is "Discussing Wu Zhao", the full name is "Discussing Wu Zhao for Xu Jingye".

Li Qinzai was a little apprehensive about letting such a person be his guest.

"The county magistrate of Jinxiang recommended you?" Li Qinzai asked.

King Luo Bin bowed and said, "Yes, I dare not lie to County Uncle Li. Originally, I planned to vote for His Highness King Teng, but His Highness King Teng was in Bingzhou. The County Lord of Jinxiang said that County Uncle Li was thirsty for talents. I would also like to vote for Li Xianbo's family, and share Li Xianbo's worries."

Speaking of which, King Luo Bin took out a few neatly folded papers from his arms, solemnly held them to Li Qinzai with both hands, and said: "This is my travel scroll, and what is recorded is my humble opinion on current affairs and scriptures. Please also ask Uncle Li to have a look."

Li Qinzai took the scroll and glanced at it casually, um, he couldn't understand it at all.Don't say that the ancient prose is hard to understand, and he can't adapt to the lack of punctuation marks, so he has no interest in reading it.

"Good writing! It's so deafening, profound and profound!" Li Qinzai blurted out his praise.

King Luo Bin's expression became ugly again: "Uncle Li, you didn't even look at it."

"You don't need to read it, just by smelling it, you can tell it's a rare and good article." Li Qinzai stuffed the scroll into his arms without changing his expression, and said, "I'll take a closer look later."

King Luo Bin said sadly, "Uncle Li, do you really know how to look carefully?"

Li Qinzai said seriously: "Look at my sincere eyes, yes!"

The recruiters of this era are not randomly recruited, they must have real talents and real learning. As for what kind of real talents and real learning, it depends on the personality of the host.

For King Teng, who likes to chant the wind and praise the moon and be arty, most of the staff in the mansion are literati and poets, who accompany King Teng to compose a few sour poems and sentences to make him happy.

But Li Qinzai is a more pragmatic person. If he wants to be a curtain guest, he must at least help his life or career.

For example, he recruited Lao Wei, who was skilled and experienced, and could save his own life in critical situations.

So, what does King Luo Bin have?
No matter how good the article is, it is impossible for Li Qinzai to become a bonus item here. What he wants is real ability.

"Luo... King Bin," Li Qinzai just started, but was interrupted by King Luo Bin.

"Uncle Li, in the word 'sightseeing' below, you can call the word directly."

Li Qinzai nodded and said, "Mr. Guan Guan, when Jin Xiang recommended you, did he mention my current situation?"

"I heard from the county magistrate of Jinxiang."

"I don't know if Mr. Tourist has a good plan to help me solve my troubles?"

King Luo Bin pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "The British government is originally a meritorious official. The British official has made great achievements in military affairs all his life, but now he is framed by traitors. Mr. Li County, forgive me for speaking bluntly. A meritorious official should not be insulted lightly. "

"Therefore, I believe that Duke Ying and County Uncle Li should not be too tired to deal with the frame-up at this time, and passive defense will be inferior."
