Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 266 Du Fu's Grandpa

Du Yiyi was very disturbed. He felt that a narrow-minded person like Gao Ming would never let him go easily, so although he is now in the Datang Royal Academy, his life may be very difficult.

This is indeed the case.

At noon the next day, Gao Ming came to the Royal Academy and asked Du Yiyi to sing "On the Golden Mountain of Jinzhou" in front of more than 3000 teachers and students in the academy.

In fact, Du Yiyi was very reluctant to sing, he thought it was an insult to his literati character, but whenever he saw the tiger Gao Ming was holding, he felt that it was no big deal to insult him once in a while.

A man can bend and stretch!

"The golden mountain of Jinju shines in all directions..."

Du Yiyi sang very carefully, and sang it three times.

Gao Ming was very happy to see him so knowledgeable about current affairs, so on the third day, Du Yiyi sang "The Great Savior of Jinzhou People" five times in front of all the teachers and students of the academy. The lyrics are as follows.

"Dongfang is red, the sun is rising, the Tang Dynasty has a prince, he seeks happiness for the people, hehe, he is the great benefactor of the people..."

Day [-]...

"Only the prince is good in the world. A child who is valued by the prince is like a treasure. If you throw it into the arms of the prince, you will not be able to enjoy happiness..."

Day [-]...

"The majestic Jinzhou mountains, the rushing Yellow River and the Yangtze River, the mountains are high and the rivers are long and the friendship is deep, the prince's kindness will never be forgotten..."

……

This song adapted by Gao Ming is a good song with beautiful tunes, easy to understand, and catchy, so once it was released, it quickly spread throughout Jinzhou.

Among them, songs such as "On the Golden Mountain of Jinzhou", "The Great Savior of the People of Jinzhou", "Only the Prince is Good in the World" and "The Prince's Kindness Will Never Forget" are the most widely spread, not only spread throughout the Jinzhou area, It also spread to the surrounding areas, and even farmers who didn't know a word could hum a few words.

Although these songs were adapted by Gao Ming, in order to play the good virtue of "Red Scarf", Gao Ming didn't tell the story, not only didn't he say it, he didn't even let Du Yiyi say it.

So Du Yiyi became famous.

Everyone agrees that Du Yiyi is the author of these songs, and it is for this reason that many people remember this name.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages in everything. Du Yiyi has gained a lot of prestige among the common people, but his reputation among scholars is not very good.

To be more polite, he said that he took great pains to win the respect of Gao Ming, and to be less polite, he directly said that he was shameless, which made Du Yiyi feel very wronged.

"I was also forced!"

Obviously, such an excuse is very weak and has no effect at all. From this moment on, Du Yiyi understood a very important thing, that is, he could not leave Jinzhou anymore.

Today, he has been labeled as a "sycophant" and "Prince", and this label will follow him for the rest of his life, that is to say, unless Gao Ming lets him become an official, as long as Gao Ming does not speak, no one will dare to use him .

But Du Yiyi was unwilling to be a farmer with his face turned to the loess and his back to the sky, so he could only beg Gao Ming to allow him to go home so that he could take his wife to Jinzhou.

He is planning to settle down in Jinzhou.

Gao Ming also knew Du Yiyi's thoughts, so facing his request, Gao Ming agreed without saying a word, and when he left Jinzhou, Gao Ming took Li Goudan to the gate of the city to see him off, which made Du Yiyi flattered up.

"Thank you for your cultivation, Your Highness, the villain will definitely come back as soon as possible!"

"Safe travels!"

Du Yiyi left, looking at the carriage going away, Li Goudan was puzzled.

"His Royal Highness, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, what is it about this Du Yiyi that His Royal Highness values ​​so much?"

Li Goudan knew that Du Yiyi was the No. 15 scholar in Zhenguan for [-] years, but in his opinion, this was nothing special. After all, being an official is a different thing when taking an exam, not to mention that Du Yiyi is a person who has not even passed the official examination.

Seeing Li Goudan's puzzled expression, Gao Ming immediately laughed.

"Actually, at the beginning, I didn't think about how to reuse him. At most, I wanted him to be a teacher in the academy, but then I changed my mind. From now on, you can just treat him as the next day Luo Xun. As for I won’t say the reason, because you don’t even understand.”

Speaking of this, Gao Ming immediately raised his eyebrows at Li Goudan again.

Seeing Gao Ming's expression, Li Goudan rolled his eyes, and then asked tentatively, "Could it be that Du Yiyi and Luo Xun are the same kind of people?"

As soon as Li Goudan said this, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahahaha, you kid is really getting smarter and smarter. That's right, he and Luo Xun are the same kind of people!"

Hearing Gao Ming's answer, Li Goudan immediately fell silent, but his eyeballs turning left and right showed that he was not in a calm mood.

Luo Xun is King Luo Bin's father, who was directly appointed by Gao Ming to be the county magistrate of Jinzhou.

Luo Binwang Li Goudan has seen him before. Although the child is only five years old now, he is no less than eight or nine years old in terms of intelligence. Gao Ming went to see him on the third day after he arrived in Jinzhou. Goudan was a little dumbfounded.

At that time, the Li Wang family directly told Li Goudan that with the favor of His Royal Highness, as long as Luo Binwang grows up smoothly and does not die young, he will be extraordinary in the future, so let Li Goudan treat the Luo family more politely in the future.

And now Gao Ming said that Du Yiyi and Luo Xun were the same kind of person, so he also valued Du Yiyi's son?
Thinking of this, Li Goudan couldn't help but speak again.

"But His Royal Highness, according to what I know, Du Yiyi doesn't have a son!"

As soon as Li Goudan finished speaking, Gao Ming nodded.

"I know this too, but don't worry, his son will come out in two years."

Li Goudan: "..."

If someone else said this, then Li Goudan wouldn't care at all, but Gao Ming was different. Let alone Gao Ming's ability to predict and predict, Li Goudan was terrified.

At the beginning Gao Ming said that Qi Wang Li You was going to rebel, so he sent him and Zhang Sizheng to Qizhou to arrest Li You. At first Li Goudan thought that Gao Ming had got the news in advance, but later he knew that was not the case.

Because before they went to Qizhou, Zhang Sizheng and the others didn't know about it at all!

You know, Zhang Sizheng and the others are Gao Ming's dead men, how did Gao Ming know the news that even Zhang Sizheng and the others didn't know?
Every time he thought of this, Li Goudan couldn't help being a little shocked.

"His Royal Highness is really unpredictable, maybe this Du Yiyi will really have a son in two years..."

Gao Ming was standing next to Li Goudan, so the changes in Li Goudan's expression naturally fell into his eyes.

"God, if you don't believe me, let's make a bet like this..."

Hearing Gao Ming say the word "gambling", Li Goudan immediately came back to his senses, and then shook his head like a rattle.

"No, no, no...His Royal Highness, I have already made an oath that I will never be tainted with the word 'gambling' in this life. As for what His Royal Highness said, I will definitely believe it."

Hearing his words, Gao Ming immediately raised his eyebrows at him.

"Really?"

"Every sentence is true, and I dare not have half a lie!"

Hearing Li Goudan's decisive tone, Gao Ming nodded in satisfaction.

"You'd better believe it, because Du Shenyan will definitely be born in the year after tomorrow, and it's impossible for me to remember it wrong."

Li Goudan: "..."

Seeing Li Goudan's ghostly expression, Gao Ming suddenly realized that he had slipped his tongue, and he immediately glared at Li Goudan.

"Don't spread what I said just now, or I will castrate you!"

Hearing Gao Ming's threat, Li Goudan's cold sweat broke out immediately, and he immediately nodded his head like a chicken chopping rice.

"Yes, yes, please rest assured, His Royal Highness, I will keep my mouth shut!"

Li Goudan was really scared, because as far as he knew, Gao Ming did not have any trusted eunuchs around him, so he was really worried that one day Gao Ming would get up and drag him into the eunuch.

Every time he thought of this, Li Goudan felt that it was simply too scary.

"If I enter the palace, won't Yun'er become a widow?"

Seeing Li Goudan's frightened face, Gao Ming couldn't help but laugh. He patted Li Goudan's shoulder and laughed.

"You know you're afraid now, boy. When you spread rumors in the East Palace to scare the boys of Baiqiwei, I'm afraid you didn't expect today?"

Seeing Gao Ming's half-smile expression, Li Goudan didn't dare to answer, just lowered his head and smiled apologetically.

Gao Ming was just trying to scare him, not really intending to do anything to him. Seeing that he was already scared, he didn't make things difficult for him anymore, turned around and walked back.

After Gao Ming and Huzi had walked a long way, Li Goudan breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.

"Sure enough, companions are like companions to tigers. It's so scary. I'd better not talk too much next time. It will be too miserable to save me from accidentally becoming a eunuch..."

Thinking of this, Li Goudan felt that his future official career seemed to be full of hardships, so he had some resentment towards Du Yiyi's industry.

"It's all due to Du Yiyi and his son who was born in the next year. By the way, what did His Royal Highness say about his son's name? Du Shenyan? What a strange name..."

Li Goudan is just an ordinary person. In Gao Ming's words, Li Goudan is an ordinary Tang native, so naturally he doesn't know how famous Du Shenyan is.

You know, in later generations, the name Du Shenyan can be said to be very popular in the circle!
Du Shen said that words must be simple. He, Li Qiao, Cui Rong, and Su Weiwei are called the "Four Friends of Articles", and they are one of the founders of "Modern Style Poems" in the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, he has another identity, his grandson is called Du Fu.

That's right, the man known as the "Sage of Poetry" is Du Shenyan's grandson!
It was precisely because of these reasons that Gao Ming valued Du Yiyi so much, so he really didn't dare to do anything to Du Yiyi.

"When literati mention me in the future, will they say that it is because of my grace to save eggs that Du Fu exists?"

Whenever he thinks of this, Gao Ming suddenly has an inexplicable sense of superiority.
