The best idlers of the Tang Dynasty

"Since I want to thank you, what's the point of just saying it? There is no sincerity at all!" Princess Ankang looked at Du Rui with a smile and said with a smile.

Du Rui was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Princess Ankang to say such a word suddenly, and then he laughed and said, "I don't know how to thank the grassroots, Your Highness, to show sincerity!?"

Princess Ankang rolled her eyes and said: "I heard from the prince's brother that there are many interesting things in your house, how about this, I will go to your house and pick one that looks good, and it will be your thank you gift." !?"

Du Rui couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words, but since he had already spoken, he naturally couldn't refuse, so he said, "That's fine!"

"One piece, I will never take more." Ankang stretched out a finger and said seriously.

In fact, she doesn't really want to get anything, as a princess, she doesn't need anything, what she really needs is a playmate.The first time she saw this boy that day, she was attracted by his appearance and conversation. She felt that there was something different about him from the men in the palace that she was tired of seeing since she was a child, and she wanted to get close to him.

Of course Du Rui didn't know what was going on in the heart of the most honorable girl in the Tang Dynasty, so he readily agreed and took Princess Ankang to his home.

All the guards knew the princess's temper, and no one dared to stop her, but followed her all the way from a distance.After entering Du's mansion, Ankang was really taken aback. Although the inconspicuous house could not be called a magnificent garden or grandeur, it was well arranged. I never thought that Chang'an had such a unique place.

The last time Princess Ankang and Li Chengqian came together, they bumped into Du Rui when they reached the door, and went for an outing with him. Today, when they entered the mansion, they found that Du Rui was really extraordinary, and that the small house was made so small by him. So elegant.

The two walked through the room all the way, and the furnishings inside were also very simple, but some of the decorations made by Du Rui himself also dazzled Ankang, such as wind chimes, and the clay figurines that Du Rui played with for Du Yunlian when he was free There are so many gadgets, I can't make up my mind what to get.

After the second hall, Princess Ankang came to Du Rui's study in the back house. Princess Ankang sat down to take a breather, and saw a bamboo flute hanging on the wall. Although it looked ordinary, Princess Ankang saw something extraordinary. Immediately revealed a look of surprise: "This Xiao looks like an ancient relic from the Han Dynasty."

Du Rui praised: "His Royal Highness has good eyesight. It is said that Ji Kang, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, once used this flute."

This flute was also discovered by Du Rui when he was wandering out of the house, and he bought it after seeing that he liked it. Du Rui didn't know the origin of this flute, but he only heard from the flute seller.

Princess Ankang was even more surprised when she heard the words, and said: "Oh, it turned out to be something passed down from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and it has been around for hundreds of years. I wonder if it can still be played."

Du Rui glanced at Princess Ankang, took off the flute, and played a tune.The sound of the piano is melodious, like a gurgling stream in the mountains, flowing non-stop, like complaining like thinking, like weeping like complaining, but it also carries a lingering affection, which is the song "The Butterfly Lovers" that Du Rui once played that day.

Princess Ankang was intoxicated when she heard it, and praised: "Your flute is so good, it is clear and outstanding, it seems to flow down from the top of a mountain~~~~"

Hearing this, Du Rui felt awkward. What does it mean to play the flute really well? This boast is too much to make people blush, but he said humbly: "Your Highness, the princess is wrong. It’s just for self-entertainment, it’s not a good thing.”

Princess Ankang blinked her eyes and said, "It's none of my business whether I get into the elegant hall or not, as long as I like it, that's right! I've found what I want."

Du Rui looked at the bamboo flute in his hand, and asked, "Is it this flute?"

Princess Ankang chuckled and said, "No, it's this tune, please teach me how to play this tune?"

Du Rui couldn't help being taken aback, and didn't know how to answer.

Princess Ankang pouted, and said: "You promised me to go to your house to pick out something attractive. Why, you regretted it so quickly? You're really stingy!"

With that said, a pair of big eyes stared at Du Rui as if he was still asking for debts. Du Rui had no choice but to agree.

Seeing that Du Rui agreed, Princess Ankang was naturally happy in her heart, and suddenly thought of something else, and asked, "Brother Du! Why did you feel sorry for that prisoner just now, and said he is a rare talent?"

Du Rui heard the words and sighed: "Nowadays in the court of the Great Tang, there is probably no one who can compare his integrity with that Master Fan!"

Princess Ankang asked curiously: "Why do you say that, are you even inferior?"

Du Rui laughed and said: "Caomin is only a ten-year-old boy, what kind of integrity can be called, even if he has, how can he compare with Mr. Fan, who does not hesitate to honor or disgrace one person, his family and his life for the sake of the state. Bravery, great loyalty, can't you still not be worthy of the word integrity?"

Princess Ankang pondered for a moment, and said: "Hearing what you said seems to make sense, I don't quite understand it, but in the past two days my father has always sighed and called Fan Xing from time to time, maybe my father I don't want him to die either!"

Du Rui could also guess what Emperor Taizong was thinking. Firstly, Fan Xing was indeed a talent. Although he lost the city and territory at this time, he saved Datang from a bigger crisis. Kou Bian, the Tang Dynasty suffered repeated defeats and battles. Fan Xingjiu was in the border court and was familiar with the Turkic tactics. In the future, the Northern Expedition will also be a big help.

Thinking about it, Du Rui suddenly said to Princess Ankang: "Your Highness, the princess! Caomin would like to ask the Princess for one thing, and I hope Her Highness will not refuse!"

Princess Ankang said: "If you have anything to do, just say it. After all, you are also my master now. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help."

"it is good!"

Du Rui said a good word, then walked to the desk, spread out a piece of rice paper, grinded the ink, picked up the pen, thought for a while, and swiped the brush: "Song of Righteousness" was given to Fan Taishou one by one, and Yu Changwen heard about his husband's integrity The truth is that the heaven and the earth are right. Today, Fan Taishou is guarding the borders of the country, ignoring his own honor and disgrace, abandoning small details and pursuing righteousness, but the gangsters are fierce, empty-hearted and passionate.Yu Zikong sighed, cherishing talents in the country, and sang "Song of Righteousness" along with Zhang Fan's integrity.

There is righteousness in the world, mixed with manifolds.The lower part is Heyue, and the upper part is the sun star.Yu Ren said Hao Ran, Pei Hu Sai Cang Ming.Huanglu should be Qingyi, Hanhe Tu Mingting.When the time is poor, you can see them one by one: in Qi Taishi Bamboo, in Jin Dong Hubi; Or for the Liaodong hat, clean the ice and snow; or for the teacher, the ghosts and gods weep heroically.Either for crossing the river, generously swallowing Hu Jie, or for striking the thief's seal, breaking the head against the vertical head.It is majestic and awe-inspiring.When it pierces the sun and the moon, life and death are safe and secure!Dimensions depend on it, and Tianzhu depends on it.The three cardinal principles are really related to life, and morality is the root.After learning about Yu Yangjiu, Li is also weak.The prisoner of Chu tasseled his crown, and sent the chariot to the poor north.The tripod wok is as sweet as stuffing, and it is impossible to get it.Yinfang dark will-o'-the-wisp, Chunyuan is dark.Niu Ji is the same soap, chickens live in phoenixes.Once covered with fog and dew, it is divided into barren ditch.So no matter how cold or hot it is, Baimo will be able to heal itself.It's a pity that I am in the field, and I am happy for my country.How can there be such an absurd coincidence that Yin and Yang cannot be stolen!Thinking about it, I looked up at the floating clouds.My heart is worried, the heavens are so terrific!The day of the philosopher is far away, and the punishment is in the past.The eaves show books and read, and the ancient roads shine in color.

Princess Ankang was smart since she was a child, and she had also learned a collection of classics and history, but she could read it clearly. Seeing that Du Rui admired a prisoner so much, although she was puzzled, she was also infected by the grandeur in the poem, and she couldn't help applauding.

Du Rui sighed: "The princess only thinks this poem is good, but she doesn't know that compared with the earning of finding chapters and extracting sentences, Fan Taishou's integrity is as bright as the moon in the sky. Although the poem is well written, it is not enough for Mr. Zhang Fan's integrity. The princess forwarded this poem to the Holy Majesty, and begged the Holy Majesty to carve this poem into a stele and place it in front of the tomb of Prefect Fan to honor his achievements when the Northern Expedition succeeds in the future."
