Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 543

Prime Minister Li Lin's mansion is in Pingkangfang. He was originally a minister of the clan, and his gifted house is next to the palace.

After Li Linguan paid homage to the prime minister, he bought several nearby houses and expanded his home a little. As soon as he entered Pingkangfang, he could see the tall courtyard wall of Li Lin's house.

Pingkangfang is the place where important officials of the imperial court live together. The house of Li Linfu, the powerful minister who once dominated the Tang Dynasty, is in Pingkangfang.

However, since the fall of the Li family, Li Linfu's mansion was demolished by the emperor on the grounds of arrogance, and now it has become many scattered mansions, and the magnificent houses at that time are no longer visible.

Now the largest building in Pingkang Square is Li Lin's house. Shan Tao held a scroll of calligraphy and painting under his arm, and came to Li Lin's door with Cui Guangyuan's greeting card.

Knocking on the door, an old man with wrinkles all over his face looked at Shan Tao.

Shan Tao handed in the greeting card with a gold leaf in his hand. The old man groped for the gold leaf, then smiled and said:
"I've told you several times that if you keep the things, the old man will naturally give them to the Prime Minister. Could it be that I have polluted your Jing Zhaoyin's things?"

"You stubborn donkey insists that the Xiangye in front of you personally deliver it, forget it, you are lucky today, the Xiangye is at home."

After speaking, the side door opened a small hole, Shan Tao hurriedly greeted the old man and said good things, until the old man smiled, he walked into Li Lin's house with his things in his arms.

The seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's gate. Although the gatekeepers of these prime ministers are gatekeepers, they have a lot of power.

For example, the effect of giving a gift directly to the owner is completely different from having the concierge take it to the owner.

Shan Tao is now the Judicial Captain of Jingzhao Mansion, and he is quite familiar with these unspoken rules of Chang'an.

In the past few days, Shan Tao came to Li Lin's house every day, constantly getting closer to the old concierge, and finally got this opportunity today.

After waiting in the waiting room at the door for a while, the old concierge said, "Master Xiang wants to see you."

Shan Tao hastily stuffed another piece of gold leaf, holding the long calligraphy and painting box, followed behind the old concierge, and walked into the labyrinth-like Li Lin Mansion.

People in the Tang Dynasty loved luxury, and Li Lin belonged to the imperial family, so he was already very rich.

After becoming prime minister, the mansion was expanded. Li Lin's mansion has pavilions, corridors and cornices everywhere.

It really is the atmosphere of Datang!
And later generations will use Rifeng as Tang Feng's TV series, and the house of Datang is magnificent!

After walking for a long time, they came to the main hall.

Li Lin had already changed into casual clothes. At this time, he was holding a newly collected calligraphy and looking at it with a magnifying glass in one hand.

After Shan Tao came in, he lifted up the box in his hand, but Li Lin said without raising his head:

"The truth has already been told to you Cui Dayin. Whether you can enter the political affairs hall or not depends on your majesty's mind. It's useless for him to curry favor with me, an old man."

Although Li Lin said so, Shan Tao understood that he just simply didn't want to help.

The choice of the prime minister is certainly up to the emperor, but the opinions of the current prime ministers are also very important.

A candidate who is opposed by all the prime ministers in the political affairs hall will naturally not be able to enter the political affairs hall.

In the same way, if the talents praised by all the prime ministers are not included in the political affairs hall, it will appear that the emperor has neglected the talents.

However, Li Lin and Cui Guangyuan did not have friendship, and this time the change of prime minister was accompanied by the battle between the crown prince and King Qi, Li Lin did not want to go into this troubled water.

Shan Tao had anticipated Li Lin's attitude a long time ago. Naturally, such a good man would not offend others, but he was also unwilling to help others.

Li Lin's original identity is the clan, and the clan must ensure that they do not stand in line, so as not to be suspected by the emperor.

Regardless of whether he really has no ideas of his own, he must stand up to the personality of a good guy in order to gain a foothold in the Zhengshitang.

Shan Tao raised the box and said to Li Lin:

"The villain is just a general and can't understand what Xiangye said. Cui Dayin just told me to bring this picture, as long as Xiangye reads the villain, he can go back."

Character?
Li Lin loves calligraphy and painting, and when he heard that Cui Guangyuan's gift was calligraphy and painting, he also became interested.

That's all, let's take a look, Cui Guangyuan probably can't come up with anything that interests him, right?
It's not that Li Lin looked down on Cui Guangyuan, but that he was in a high position, and he had never seen any kind of calligraphy and painting.

There are so many people who give gifts to Li Lin every year, and their vision has long been high.

Although Cui Guangyuan's Jing Zhaoyin is a fat job, but no matter how fat the job is, can he be fatter than the current prime minister?
Shan Tao carefully took out a pair of calligraphy from the box, and slowly pulled the calligraphy apart.

After pulling it away, Li Lin couldn't turn his eyes away!

The magnifying glass in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, and the crisp sound of glass shattering alarmed the guards outside the door. Li Lin shouted quickly: "It's all right! Don't come in!"

The guard hurried back to his post, and Li Lin walked to the copybook tremblingly, and said to Shan Tao:

"This, is this "Sangluan Post"?"

Goodbye Li Lin, who is well-informed, and seeing "Sangluan Post", one of the most famous copybooks written by Wang Xizhi, the sage of calligraphy, I can no longer restrain my excitement.

However, he checked it carefully, and sure enough, no matter from the paper or the handwriting, he could tell that it was an old object from the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

But the words above were flying, and each word was full of helplessness and grief, and this emotion was transmitted to Li Lin's mind along with the words.

After observing for a long time, Li Lin raised his head and asked, "Isn't this "Sangluan Tie" hidden in Daming Temple? Why is Master Jianzhen willing to part with it?"

Shan Tao just lowered his head and said: "The villain is just here to give calligraphy and paintings, and the villain doesn't understand Li Xiang's words."

Li Lin scolded with a smile and said: "This Cui Dayin gave gifts, and he didn't find someone who knows calligraphy and painting. It's big enough for a vulgar person like you to give them away."

At this time, Shan Tao said: "Since Li Xiang likes this painting, the villain will leave."

Li Lin was tangled in his heart. Although he didn't want to help Cui Guangyuan, as a calligraphy and painting lover, how could he refuse the temptation of the authentic works of the sage of calligraphy?

Not to mention that "Sangluan Tie" is a famous post in the world alongside "Lanting Collection Preface" and "Quick Rain and Sunshine Tie", and it is Wang Xizhi's most powerful work.

Li Lin is really reluctant to part with this work, forget it, let's accept it, and Cui Guangyuan will help recommend it.

Shan Tao came out of Li Lin's house with a smug smile on his face.

This "Sangluan Post" is naturally a fake, it is the work of that player, Ni Dayou, who is good at forging calligraphy and paintings.

Ni Dayou was able to forge Fang Guan's handwriting back then, and famous posts like "Sangluan Tie" are famous works that he practiced countless times.

In order to confuse the real with the fake, the paper and ink used in this fake "Sangluan Tie" are all handed down from the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

And this pair of mourning posts is Ni Dayou's most satisfying work after writing a hundred.

The reason why I chose Sangluantie is because this copybook is no longer in the Central Plains.

Sangluan Post followed Jianzhen to the Fusang Kingdom, but the news of Jianzhen's eastward journey had not yet spread in the Tang Dynasty.

This is a copybook with an owner, and the owner of the copybook will not come out to refute it now, so it will naturally be the most perfect deception.

This copybook was also recently brought to Chang'an by Longyou merchants, and this time the gift was used to promote Cui Guangyuan's entry into the Zhengshitang.

Cui Huan, the prime minister who worshiped the Buddha at home, received a blood scripture written by Master Jianzhen.

Luzong's blood scriptures are all written with the writer's own blood, pricking the finger with a needle, and writing on the paper before the blood coagulates.

It usually takes ten or twenty years for an eminent monk to copy a blood scripture, and monk Jianzhen is the most respected eminent monk in Lvzong, so the blood scripture written by him naturally has the best chance.

Anyway, Jianzhen will not come out to refute, and this blood scripture was also written by Ni Dayou using pig blood to forge Jianzhen's authentic handwriting.

The next day, the prime ministers Pei Mian, Cui Huan, and Li Lin all "unanimously" wrote to the emperor, recommending Jingzhaoyin Cui Guangyuan to the political affairs hall.

Cui Qi, a popular candidate for prime minister, even wrote to the court, saying that he was poor in ability and morality, and asked for a foreign appointment as an official. At the same time, he praised Cui Guangyuan to the emperor as a "great talent in the court".

The sudden emergence of Cui Guangyuan caused the court ministers to look sideways. When the crown prince and King Qi reacted, they found that Cui Guangyuan had nothing to blame except for the stain of being an official and a fake Yan.

Although he is in such a fat position as the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, Cui Guangyuan still lives in the government office and has not purchased another property in Chang'an.

Cui Guangyuan's management of Chang'an was smooth and soft, but he never showed favoritism in matters of right and wrong.

The only thing worth attacking was the snow disaster in Chang'an, but Wannian County Prime Minister Wang Chengwei had already rescued and treated the people affected by the disaster, so the actual damage caused by the snow disaster this time was not large.

The only crime that was regarded as the most fatal weakness, the crime of committing himself to a false swallow, was also washed away by Cui Qi.

And Cui Qi was the official who presided over the trial of the puppet Yan rebels, and he defined Cui Guangyuan as a "great talent in the court", which was tantamount to cleaning up Cui Guangyuan's stains from the perspective of the three justices.

King Qi was furious, Cui Qi, the censor Zhongcheng whom he had managed to win over, asked to be released from Chang'an because of some "ghost haunting".

When Cui Qi was interrogating the puppet Yan criminal officials, he collected two large boxes of black materials from court officials, and he also burned them.

What a good thing, how good it is for yourself!
King Qi uttered impotent rage, but he couldn't stop Cui Qi's request to be released.

The emperor just gave Cui Qi a symbolic consolation, and then agreed to his request for foreign appointment.

At the same time, the competition for the replacement of the prime minister also came to an end.

Jingzhao Yin Cui Guangyuan and Dali Temple Minister Li Xian successfully entered the Zhengshitang. Zhongshusheren wrote four or six parallel proses on white linen paper and read them in front of Cui and Li's mansion.

The two of them boarded the bullock cart again and went to the palace to thank them.

At this time, Li Yan had already returned to Shazhou City, and as the date when Du Hongjian was going to lead troops into Hexi was approaching, he sent orders to the players in Wuwei and Zhangye to "entertain" this military governor of Shuofang.
