People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 271 Confidant at home, madman in the world

A layer of mist shrouded the wide Puyang River, and as the sun gradually rose to the sky, the mist became thinner and thinner.

On the broad river, boats come and go, the breeze blows, and the willows on the shore are swaying gently.

Everything is in order.

The sound of huge breaking waves suddenly came from the distant river, and immediately, a huge two-masted warship appeared on the river.

Seeing that it was a naval warship, many ships around immediately evaded to both sides.

The speed of the warship was not fast, and coupled with the wide surface of the river, it did not collide with other ships along the way.

The warship passed by quickly, and before the other ships could breathe a sigh of relief, more fast boats appeared on the river, occupying the entire center of the river at once.

The fast boat passed by quickly, and then there was a louder sound of breaking waves, and another huge two-masted merchant ship appeared on the river.

The sound still didn't stop, and in everyone's sight, three large official ships came from the northeast.

It's just that compared to the two-masted ship occupying the center of the front river, the size of the three official ships is not large, but it makes other ships dare not approach at will.

Standing on the bow of the boat, Li Xuan looked at the densely packed boats of all sizes on the banks of the river, and said with some emotion: "Although this big river is not as wide as the Wujiang River, the boats on the river are not as wide as the boats on the Wujiang River." It is big, but there are so many boats, but it is not too much!"

"Although the Wujiang River is vast, there are many mountains on both sides of the river. Fuchun, Tonglu and Jiande have only a single product. It has always been suitable for large ships to travel on it. For small ships, go to Wuzhou from Zhuji, Dongyang, and Yiwu. The products are rich and can be transported by water. It is convenient, so there are many small boats, and the commerce and trade are developed."

Wearing a blue water ripple robe, dressed like a man, but still unconcealable, Du Liu stood on one side, looking at the scene on both sides, explaining calmly.

She was born in Wuzhou, but spent more than half of her time in Zhuji with her father.

She has always been a little puzzled why her father didn't return to Chang'an after he resigned, why didn't he stay in Wuzhou, didn't go to Hangzhou and Yuezhou, but just stayed in the small city of Zhuji.

Father just smiled and didn't answer, it was fine when he was a child, but after growing up, Du Liu could gradually see the loneliness in his father's eyes.

So this time after Li Xuan arrived in Hangzhou, she would take the opportunity to check to see if Li Xuan, the new Wuzhou Biejia, was worthy of his father's service.

"The willow catkins are floating on the banks of the Bibo River, and the horseshoes are ringing in the ancient green brick alley."

Li Xuan pointed to the figure standing on the shore with a single horse on the pier in the distance, and asked, "Is that your father?"

Du Liu looked in the direction Li Xuan was pointing at, raised her eyebrows slightly, but she was still several miles away, and she couldn't see clearly for a moment.

I don't know how Li Xuan saw it clearly. Du Liu looked back at Li Xuan, and then said with some uncertainty: "Probably, after all, there are not many ships on the entire river that can carry horses, and now it is even more so." I'm the only one waiting."

Horses on board not only need to have enough space for movement, but also need to have a stable speed to prevent the horses from panicking, which is not something that ordinary ships can have.

Now they are the only ones on this river, and nine out of ten they are Du Liu's father.

"Your father has been in Zhuji for many years, it's really hard work to look at Wuzhou from the top and Hangyue from the bottom." Li Xuan couldn't help but admire.

Du Bixing served as Sima of Wuzhou in his early years, and his political achievements are unknown now, but it is not easy to be Sima of a state.

After he left Wuzhou, he did not return to Chang'an. Perhaps there was a reason that the south was good for recuperation, but he stayed in Zhuji must be to spy on Tianyin Sect.

Wuzhou is adjacent to Muzhou, and it is the land of Wuyue. Besides Muzhou, Tianyin Sect is the most widely developed state.

The second is Shezhou.

For many years, although the government has strictly prohibited it and cracked down on it from time to time, it has always been banned, and there is even a tendency to become more and more banned.

The most fundamental reason for this is the development of Wuzhou for many years, and it is more due to the strict legal system implemented by the imperial court in Muzhou.

As a result, for many years, the people of Muzhou have been flowing out of Muzhou, going to Wuzhou, Hangzhou, and even Shezhou to seek life.

This is how Wuzhou is now prosperous.

Most of the people in Wuzhou are descendants of the family members of Chen Shuozhen's soldiers who started the uprising. Among them, there are many people who believe in the Goddess of Tianyin.

With the spread of faith, many people in Wuzhou became Tianyin believers.

Their foundation in Wuzhou is so extensive that Li Xuan can't imagine it. This is the biggest problem in his line of work.

Du Bixing has been in Zhuji for many years, and Lai Jingye's support is also one of the reasons why he can persist, so Lai Jingye recommended Li Xuan, and he came here.

……

The official ship docked slowly. A burly middle-aged man in a gray gown, with a clear complexion, a short beard, a refined temperament, a modest demeanor, but bright eyes, led the horse onto the official ship, and the official ship left the shore immediately. .

"Boy Li Xuan, I have met Mr.!" Li Xuan sincerely bowed his hands to Du Bixing who handed the horse rope to Qian Niuwei.

"My lord, you're being polite!" Du Bixing replied calmly with a calm expression.

It's just that although his expression is gentle, there is a trace of blood in his eyes, and he can clearly see fatigue on his face.

Although his body was clean and tidy, the smell of dust and dust came to his face.

Li Xuan was a little puzzled, where did Du Bixing just come back from?

"Sir, please come in." Li Xuan quickly stepped aside and led Du Bixing into the cabin.

Wang Bo and Yu Ze, who were studying the case in the cabin, immediately stood up, and without Li Xuan's introduction, they cupped their hands and said, "I've seen Mr. Du."

"I've met you two." Du Bixing returned his salute to Wang Bo and Yu Ze very politely, neither humble nor overbearing.

Li Xuan stood aside and quickly introduced: "Sir, this is Yu Xiuzhuan of the Wangfu, and this is Mr. Wang Zi'an. He is a close friend with Ling's brother Du Shenyan. A few months ago, Ling's brother went to work in Sichuan. Mister also wrote poems as a gift."

"The city gate assists the Sanqin, and the wind and smoke look at the Wujin. I want to say goodbye to the king, and I am also an eunuch.

There is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor.Inaction leads to a fork in the road, and the sons and daughters share the towel. "

Du Bixing sighed with emotion, looked at Wang Bo, his expression moved, and he said a little funny: "Just this poem, five younger brothers' arrogance will be knocked out by three points, it should be clear."

Wang Bo said with a sincere expression: "Mr. has been praised too much. Brother Bo and Bijian have known each other for many years. They respect each other and regard each other as confidants. They are deeply moved when they say goodbye."

"Brother Zi'an is a sincere person. 'A confidant in the sea is like a neighbor at the end of the world.'" Du Bixing turned to look at Li Xuan, nodded, and said in admiration: "When I heard the prince's phrase 'No one in the world knows the king', I will know it The prince and Mr. Zi'an agreed, this time coming to the east, Zi'an's virtuous brother will be able to make great achievements and make great achievements."

"In this world, in terms of poetry and prose, there are not many people who really admire this king. Zi'an is one, and the other is Mr. Lingdi Bijian." Li Xuan brought back the sensitive topic, with admiration on her face He said: "'My article should be like Qu Song's government official, and my pen should be like Wang Xizhi's north'. Such a bold and unrestrained feeling is rare in the world."

"Qu Song in the yamen, Xizhi is in the north, it will be good if the prince doesn't scold him for being arrogant." Du Bixing couldn't help shaking his head helplessly.

Qu Song, Qu Yuan and Song Yu; my article should make Qu Song a government official, and my article makes Qu Yuan and Song Yu subordinates.

To the north is the place where disciples salute; my brush is worthy of Wang Xizhi's north, and my calligraphy makes Wang Xizhi also a student.

"Brother Bi Jian has real talent and learning." Wang Bo shook his head and said, "When he was in Chang'an, Bo, Luo Sanlang, Zheng Qilang, and Song Dalang met and admired him."

Luo Sanlang is King Luo Bin, who was born in Wuzhou.

Zheng Qilang is Zheng Yi, the leader of the imperial examination in the second year of Shangyuan, and the number one scholar in the new department.

Song Dalang is Song Zhiwen, a Jinshi in the imperial examination in the second year of Shangyuan, and a Jinshi in Xinke.

Li Xuan listened to the two people exchanging greetings, and a thought flashed across his mind, Zheng Yi was fine, he was born in the Zheng family in Xingyang, and Song Zhiwen was the son-in-law who had been inspected by Liu Rengui, but was finally rejected because of his frivolous poetry.

As for Du Shenyan, the number one madman in the Tang Dynasty.

After that came He Zhizhang, a fanatic of the Four Ming Dynasty, and Li Bai, a poetic fairy. Both of them agreed on this point.

"Ya Nei Qu Song, Xi Zhi North" is just one of them.

At the beginning when Chang'an saw him off, in front of Wang Bo, Luo Binwang, Zheng Yi, Song Zhiwen and others, he directly said "I will wait for you for one day with Chang'an".

The arrogance is palpable.

After Li Xuan finished listening, she could only smile.

After all, decades later, Du Fu, the grandson of Du Shenyan, said in person: "My ancestor's poems are the most ancient."

"I heard that Mr. Bijian and Li Qiao, Cui Rong, and Su Weiwei are called the four friends of the article. This is to catch up with Mr. Zi'an, Luo Sanlang and others!" Li Xuan smiled and turned to look at Wang Bo.

The Four Heroes of the early Tang Dynasty and the Four Friends of Wenwen are compared, and it is difficult to say who will go up and who will go down.

"I have to ask Yang Lingming about this matter. He is now under the supervision of the Hongwen Museum." Wang Bo couldn't help laughing.

Yang Lingming is Yang Jiong, and Yang Jiong will end up going to the system department next year.

"It's a pity that Lu Shengzhi is serving as the county captain of Xindu. Otherwise, when you meet, it will be a prosperous literary world." Li Xuan smiled faintly, with a hint of regret.

The Four Heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, Wang Bo, King Luo Bin, Yang Jiong, and Lu Zhaolin, never seem to appear in one place at the same time.

"I have to meet Brother Bixing today, and I will write a letter to Du Wulang tomorrow. I think he will be very happy when he learns about it." Wang Bo showed a happy smile on his face.

It is indeed a joyful thing to be able to meet a good friend and brother, and to work together for a period of time.

"Extremely, extremely." Du Bixing nodded approvingly, a trace of undetectable gloom flashed in his eyes.

Li Xuan glanced at the top of Du Bixing's head, the smile on his face faded, then he changed the subject and said, "I'll talk about this matter after the noon banquet. What needs to be clarified now is the cause of death of this Dongyang Sihu who joined the army."

"There are probably two murderers. One is Li Dingyi, the director of Dongyang, his boss, and the other is Huang Ziming, who is now taking over the responsibilities of the judiciary and joins the army. It may also be a combination of the two."

　According to the New Book of Tang, Song Zhiwen killed his nephew Liu Xiyi.

　　Song Zhiwen, who is "more timid near the hometown, dare not ask people who come here", because he saw his nephew Liu Xiyi wrote "the flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year", so if he couldn't ask for it, he would kill him.

　　Some Kawen, a little water, the next chapter will be normal.
