Red Tang

Wang Wei smiled lightly, it was as gentle as jade.

Slightly stroked his three-inch short beard, Lord Tai Lecheng said in a deep voice: "The soil flowers can be white and red, and I can still love this work in the evening. I would rather hold the fragrant branches to grow old than dance with the yellow leaves in the autumn wind."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then praised.

"As expected of Majie, this poem has a lofty artistic conception, and I can't wait for it." Cen Shen, who was kneeling beside him, nodded and praised the poem without reservation.In Cen Shen's view, Wang Weier is the only one who can be loyal to his heart and not be fettered by fame and wealth.Living alone in Wangchuan Bieye, living a half-official and half-hidden life, it is only with such a peaceful heart that I can write such beautiful and virtuous poems; only such an elegant and free life can be worthy of the word "exquisite"!

Wang Wei looked around for a week, and nodded slightly at everyone to express his gratitude.

"Okay, what a great poem!" Although Yang Zhao couldn't tell what was so good about this poem, he still wanted to give Wang Wei face. "Tai Le Cheng's chrysanthemum poem is truly a masterpiece. With such a talent, it would be a loss to the court if he is not promoted? Tomorrow, I will play it to His Majesty, to protect you as a real official!"

Hearing this, everyone frowned and coughed lightly.On such a beautiful day, when you are appreciating good poetry and wine, but you hear such straightforward utilitarian words, it is no less disgusting than eating a fly when you are arrogant.This is not to say that they regard the official position of the title as dung, but the literati have the guard of the literati, and the literati have the bottom line of the literati.If you recite poems and enjoy the moon, you should recite poems and enjoy the moon. If you let the smell of copper stink, you will never be able to make good works.In the end it is a street ruffian from the bottom, it is not enough to find out.

Yang Zhao also seemed to be aware of the problem in his words, and immediately stopped talking and smiled awkwardly.

"A good poem needs a good continuation. Once Tai Le Cheng's masterpiece comes out, everyone has to work harder." Yang Huahua smiled softly and said.Although she felt very ashamed of the rascal face of this clan brother, she had to mediate for him in every possible way, just because he was the only facade that the Yang family could sell.

"It should be so, it should be so!" Yang Zhao also reacted and echoed repeatedly.

Yang Huahua nodded lightly, and the jade cup set sail from Fenglindu and slowly drifted downstream.As for where it stops and where it is facing, it is not a matter of concern to everyone.

"Brother Kuo'er, let me tell you, no one here can compose a work that surpasses this poem." Zhang Yanji tore off a bear paw, chopped it lightly and threw it into his mouth.

Li Kuo shook his head and said: "In my opinion, Lord Tai Lecheng is warning the Yang family with this poem, but they didn't hear the slightest bit."

"What? Can this poem be admonishing? Why didn't I hear the slightest bit?" Zhang Yanji asked, chewing on the jerky.

"Mortal, mortal!" Zhou Wuzui shook his head lightly, and said to himself, "The power of the Yang family is so powerful now, in this Tang Dynasty, except for the right minister who can suppress it a little, I am afraid that no one can contain the Yang family. It’s just a common saying that when water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, it will lose. Everything has a cycle of cause and effect. If you don’t know how to restrain yourself and try to go against the sky, you can only eat your own bad results.”

"Hey, fat man. Why are you acting like a Taoist fortune-teller, but it seems to make sense." After a slight pause, Zhang Yanji continued: "Grandpa often tells me. The more powerful you are, the more powerful you will be." Be cautious, because you are climbing halfway up the mountain, but if you reach the top, you can only fall towards the foot of the mountain."

Li Kuo nodded lightly: "The most frightening thing is not lack of ability, but lack of self-knowledge."

In a blink of an eye, it was already dark, and the Yang family's maids and servants placed the candles that had been prepared on both sides of the Tanjiang River, and the entire backyard of the Yang Mansion was as bright as daylight.The jade cup slowly floated away, tripped over a square stone, and stopped in front of Li Kuo.

The young man was taken aback for a moment, and was at a loss for a while.Is it my turn to write poetry?

"Whose young man is this, why does he look so unfamiliar?" Yang Zhao asked in a low voice after seeing Li Kuo's handsome face, he immediately liked him.Yang Li replied softly: "It is said that he is the only son of Li Shizhi, the former prime minister of the left. A few days ago, he was awarded the military post of captain of Xuanjie because of his outstanding performance in the polo match."

"Oh?" Yang Zhao became interested for a moment. During the polo match in the palace, he happened to be checking the land acres reported by the counties in Gyeonggi, so he missed a wonderful duel.

"Isn't it? This young gentleman of the Li family should be working under Ge Shuhan's account now. He is capable of civil and military affairs, but he is an official." Yang Huahua brushed the hair scattered beside her, and said softly road.

Um?Li Shizhi, Li Linfu... For Yang Zhao, it doesn't matter whether Li Kuo is talented or not.What he values ​​most is a person's loyalty. There are so many juniors in the Tang Dynasty, and there are quite a few talented ones, but why are there only a thousand or so who are reused?The Yang family has a weak foundation and needs to cultivate a large number of confidantes for their own use.But this does not mean that Yang Zhao will relax the review criteria for students.Poor abilities and low talents can be cultivated slowly, but if there is a rebellion in the back of the head, who is not afraid of being stabbed in the back?Li Kuo's grandpa is Li Shizhi, so he should be at odds with Li Linfu.Based on the principle that the enemy of an enemy is a friend, Yang Zhao became very interested in Li Kuo.

Li Kuo stabilized his emotions, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Light muscles and weak bones are loose and quiet, and the golden stamens are flooded with clouds. I don't know but old trilliums, when the herbs are destroyed, they begin to bloom."

"Huh?" Yang Zhao snorted softly, subconsciously looking at Yang Huahua.He is not good at rhyme, and he can barely compose doggerel. If you really want him to comment on poetry so quickly, it is tantamount to cutting his heart.

Yang Huahua half-closed her eyes, savoring the lines in the poem carefully. "With light muscles and weak bones, the clouds spread all over the sky. The flowers begin to bloom when the herbs are urged, and the flowers begin to bloom when the herbs are urged!" A gleam of light flashed in Mrs. Guo Guo's eyes, and there was a little joy that had not been seen in her voice for a long time.

"Are you the prince's guest, the chief minister, Li Kuo, the captain of Xuanjie?" Yang Huahua asked across the "river", with some inexplicable ambiguity in his words.

"I am Li Kuo, Mrs. Xie praised me." The young man cupped his hands slightly at Yang Huahua and smiled slightly.

"Interesting, interesting." Yang Huahua carefully looked at the young man in front of her. During the polo match, she developed a little affection for this courageous, young and promising young man.Now I know his attainments in poetry and prose.How could she not be tempted by such an all-rounder in civil and military affairs?In the past, the sons of aristocratic families who claimed to be well-equipped with civil and military skills were either proud of their talents and arrogant, making people angry when they saw them;But Li Kuo is different from them. He is a young man who knows how to advance and retreat, and behaves decently.The neither humble nor overbearing attitude makes people feel like a spring breeze, and now Yang Huahua really wants to take this young man into the Yang family's account.She had a hunch that Li Kuo would definitely grow into a powerful minister in the future.It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to deliver charcoal in the snow.Now that this child is included in the account, he will be grateful and loyal to the Yang family.

"Oh, seeing that you are so young, you actually wrote poems such as light muscle and cartilage, so begging for punishment!" Yang Huahua stared at Li Kuo jokingly, she wanted to see how the boy answered, and to see if she read Yang Huahua correctly. people.

He cupped his hands to Mrs. Guoguo, and Li Kuo said loudly: "Light muscles and weak bones are by no means unique to fireworks, and Jinrui Liuxia does not only refer to beautiful women. Is my Tang Dynasty not a proudly blooming chrysanthemum? Yu Qianqiu If the foundation can be passed on, it will surely bloom when the herbs urge it!"

Yang Huahua's chest trembled, and she was momentarily at a loss.These words were like a sharp awl that opened the wishful lock in his heart, awakening the dust-laden memory that he dared not touch for more than ten years.

"My great Tang and Qianqiu foundation can be passed on, and it will bloom when the grass urges it!"

Eighteen years ago, on that night in Zhiba County, Yuzhou County, Jiannan Road (Note 18), a young man from the Pei family held a bunch of rhododendrons and said these words to himself.The moonlight at that time was as hazy, soft, and slippery as tonight...

................................................

Note 1: Jiannan Road: Yizhou in the Han Dynasty, Sichuan Province today.After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Yizhou was changed to Jiannan Road, and the government was located in Chengdu.It is named because it is located in the south of Jianmen Pass.In fact, what the Tang Dynasty mainly realized was the prefecture and county system, and Taoism was mainly about supervision, which is a broad division.The specific rule is still at the state and county levels.
