Li Er of the Tang Dynasty: Ancestor Xie is here!

Chapter 265 Fan Zhongyan: The Immortal Master is truly a god!
Even though Zhao Kuangyin is thick-skinned now and is used to all kinds of blows, he still felt a little caught off guard by the sudden Song Dynasty joke.

Fortunately, the joke this time was not too outrageous and had no negative impact.

In fact, there is no difference between what Liu E and Sima Guang said, and the historical evaluation is also realistic. Although she is a woman, she is more masculine than most of the men in the old Zhao family.

Empress Zhang Xianmingsu was the first empress dowager in the Song Dynasty to be crowned emperor. Compared with her later so-called "Yao and Shun among women", Liu E was definitely the Yao and Shun.

When it comes to political skills and ability to govern, the levels of Liu E and Xiao Yanyan are not much different.

As for some young people who watched two TV series and felt that they "can't bear to see women in power" and that the successors were always criticized by the people of the Song Dynasty because they were not biological, I can only say that the brain and cerebellum were not fully developed.

Even Sima Guang, an old-fashioned person, sincerely praised "The Empress Dowager Zhang Xianming Su protected the Holy Gong, disciplined the four directions, promoted the virtuous and expelled the traitors, and pacified the Chinese and foreign countries, and she really made great contributions to the Zhao family." "History of the Song Dynasty" also called "The Empress Dowager Lin." After more than ten years in the dynasty, the world is in peace." All walks of life in the Song Dynasty have always held a positive attitude, including Zhao Zhen.

Generally speaking, Liu E, from an orphan girl who performed as an entertainer to the queen who created the first female protagonist in the Song Dynasty, is a very legendary figure among the concubines of China. At the same time, Liu E is also a very accomplished heroine of the generation. She ended the ten-year-old "Book of Heaven" movement during the reign of Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng, ended party strife, issued Jiaozi, built water conservancy, established admonishment institutes, and established prefectural schools, laying the foundation for the "Renzong rule" after Renzong took power. a solid foundation.

It's just that Liu E loves power. Perhaps this is a common characteristic of the Queen Mother, and the same is true for Xiao Yanyan. Liu E refused to return power to Song Renzong until her death, and she often wore imperial clothes. Important officials in the Song court were worried about her "story of becoming a martial artist", and they imitated Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty and proclaimed herself emperor. Faced with the resistance of the ministers, Liu E suppressed her desire and ultimately did not take this step. Therefore, after Liu E's death, the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty, including Song Renzong, Sima Guang, Fan Zhongyan, etc., had a positive evaluation of Liu E.

Even after the mid-Ming Dynasty, the verdict began to be reversed, and most of the criticisms against Empress Zhang Xian and Mingsu were positive, and the merits definitely outweighed the faults. The only way to blame Liu E is because of her personal style. For example, Liu E took the son of man as her own son, and Concubine Li Chen did not dare to speak out. The whole court was also intimidated by Liu E's power, and no one dared to speak out. Concubine Li Chen and mother and son Zhao Zhen could not recognize each other until their death, which was a disservice to human relations.

Of course, this is actually more of a side affirmation. After all, there is another man who can only be criticized for his personal stains. That man's name is Li Shimin.

Zhao Kuangyin still holds a positive attitude towards this niece-in-law.

It's true that a good man has no good wife, a lazy man marries a flowery man, and a fool like Zhao Heng actually married a politician like Liu E.

"You can't hurt me. Liu E is indeed a good queen." Zhao Kuangyin looked cool wearing sunglasses.

Li Qing did not speak, but waved to Liu Bang.

Liu Bang came over and took off Zhao Kuangyin's sunglasses.

Lao Zhao's eyes were red, like swollen walnuts.

"It's okay to lie to my brother, don't fool yourself too." Liu Bang hooked Zhao Kuangyin's shoulder and said with a smile.

Zhao Kuangyin:......

After the repertoire of persecuting Zhao Kuangyin ended, Li Qing took the tour group on the road to the sixth year of Qingli.

It should be noted that after the failure of the "Qingli New Deal", Fan Zhongyan was demoted to Dengzhou, Henan Province for offending Prime Minister Lu Yijian. "Yueyang Tower" was written by Fan Zhongyan in Dengzhou, Henan Province on September 15th, the sixth year of Qingli Period. , instead of Yueyang Tower.

Of course Teng Zongliang knew that he could not go to Baling, so he could only write a letter and asked Fan Zhongyan to write an article for his friend to praise him.

Of course Fan Zhongyan was interesting enough. After receiving the letter, he not only wrote it, but also wrote an article that has been passed down through the ages. Teng Zongliang is not at a loss to have such a friend.

Teng Zongliang is Teng Zijing, and Zijing is his given name.

In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, the imperial censor Zhongcheng Wang Gongchen continued to impeach Teng Zongliang, causing him to be demoted to Yuezhou. After arriving in Baling, Teng Zongliang ignored personal honor and disgrace. He focused on state affairs and worked diligently for the people. He built flood control embankments and renovated them. Yueyang Tower and others were praised by the people.

Since Fan Zhongyan is still in Dengzhou, the first stop for Li Qing and others is Dengzhou.

Unlike my brother Taibai, Fan Zhongyan's ability to govern is directly proportional to his level of literary creation. Baling County is not the only place where "the government is harmonious and people are harmonious, and all wastes are prosperous". Dengzhou is also bustling with people, and it is a very lively scene.

This time I also brought Zhao Heng with me. After all, I needed him to show his face and let Fan Zhongyan know that the late emperor was coming and let him go to Yueyang Tower to play.

Of course Zhao Heng would not object, he was not a fool. Go to the Five Kingdoms Temple to serve a sentence or go to Qingli Sixth Year for fun. Any fool knows what to choose.

The first stop was just to pick up Fan Zhongyan, so there were only Li Qing, Li Shimin, Zhao Kuangyin, Yelu Longxu and Zhao Heng in the group.

Yelu Longxu is now considered a foreign guest of the Tang Dynasty. He has heard of Fan Zhongyan's name, and of course he wants to see him. Besides, the emperors of the Liao Kingdom, starting from Yelu Longxu, had great admiration for the culture of the Central Plains, and even spent a lot of money to purchase manuscripts that were popular in the Song Dynasty. It is normal to have a certain level of cultural appreciation.

When we arrived at Fan Zhongyan's residence, Lao Fan was writing furiously with ink.

After seeing Zhao Heng, Fan Zhongyan stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes, thinking he was dreaming.

After learning that Zhao Heng was a real person, Fan Zhongyan bowed his head.

"Xi Wen, please get up quickly..." Zhao Heng hurriedly helped Fan Zhongyan, joking. He was a celebrity in front of his uncle, and he didn't dare to let people worship him.

Xiwen is Fan Zhongyan's surname. In order to express intimacy, Zhao Heng did not call Fan Qing, but called him by his cousin name.

"This is the Immortal Master Li Qingye. Thanks to the Immortal Master, I was able to come to the Qingli Period." Zhao Heng's tone was complicated, and of course he was mostly grateful to Li Qing.

If Li Qing hadn't come, he would still be immersed in Feng Chan's pig urine, still dreaming about "my Song Dynasty is far superior to the Tang Dynasty". Now that Li Qing is here, the emperor will naturally not be able to do it, but Zhao Heng is actually quite happy.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with being an emperor, but compared to being an emperor, being able to serve an immortal master will open up a wider world.

As long as you are healthy and eat delicious food, it is better than anything else.

Fan Zhongyan was a traditional scholar, and he mostly stayed away from things involving ghosts and gods.

But since the late Emperor returned from the capital like lightning and named the Immortal Master by name, Fan Zhongyan had no choice but to salute.

"Who is this?" Fan Zhongyan looked at Yelu Longxu again. He always felt that this person looked extremely familiar, so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar.

"Mr. Xiwen." Yelu Longxu cupped his hands and said, "I am Li Longxu..."

Good guy, after joining the Tang Dynasty, you changed your last name, right?

Zhao Kuangyin turned to look at Li Shimin, who turned to look elsewhere, pretending to look around at the scenery.

"Don't listen to him, this is my imperial brother, Yelu Longxu, the Holy Sect of Liao Dynasty." Zhao Heng introduced him affectionately.

Zhao Heng also had his own considerations in treating Yelu Longxu so affectionately. After all, Yelu Longxu was the only one of his equals among the people he knew who had lost his position as emperor. The most important thing is that there is an old friend between the two, so Zhao Heng's attitude is very eager.

Yelu Longxu was quite useful at first, but ever since he knew how Zhao Ji treated his descendants, he always felt like he had eaten a fly. "It turns out that he is the Emperor of Liao, and the foreign ministers have met His Majesty." Fan Zhongyan bowed his hands.

Even though Yelu Longxu's surname is not Zhao, he is still the emperor of Liao after all, and etiquette cannot be abolished. Even the officials of the Liao Kingdom had to salute Zhao Heng when they saw him, regardless of whether they were sincere or not.

"This is my Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty." Zhao Heng continued to introduce.

Fan Zhongyan already had an idea as soon as he saw this fat black man. After Zhao Heng's introduction, Fan Zhongyan bowed his head again.

"Fan Zhongyan pays homage to Emperor Taizu!"

Lao Fan's voice trembled with excitement. He was a scholar from Zhibing's family, and of course he respected Emperor Taizu quite a lot.

"It's easy to talk, get up." Zhao Kuangyin took out a bunch of handouts from his sleeve: "It's our first time meeting. I have nothing to give. I know you are poor. It's only a hundred thousand yuan, so just accept it."

Fan Zhongyan looked at the thick pile of handouts with straight eyes, whether he accepted it or not.

"Come on Xiwen, this is a good thing." Zhao Heng's eyes were quite envious: "Kaibaojiaozi was circulated in Qin, Han, Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties, and its purchasing power is equivalent to one hundred thousand silver dollars in the Tang Dynasty."

It was okay not to say this, but Fan Zhongyan's curiosity was piqued as soon as he mentioned it.

"Tang Dynasty? What Tang Dynasty?"

"This is Emperor Taizong Wen of the Tang Dynasty." Before Zhao Heng could introduce him, Yelu Longxu jumped out and introduced Li Shimin with great honor.

Of course he was honored, that was the Tang Dynasty that his ancestors served, and they all fought under the banner of Emperor Taizong Wen. For Li Shimin himself, it’s normal to have a little respect, right?

"Tang...Tang Taizong?" The Jiaozi in Fan Zhongyan's hand suddenly fell to the ground.

Zhao Heng walked up distressedly and packed up Jiaozi. He originally wanted to put two pieces into his sleeves, but when he saw Zhao Kuangyin's eager eyes, he had to stop thinking and put the Jiaozi on Fan Zhongyan's desk honestly.

Can you not be greedy? He is now a guilty man and can be said to be penniless. During the Zhenguan Dynasty, I fell in love with a set of beautiful clothes, but I didn't even have the money to buy them for Liu E. Later, Yelu Longxu couldn't stand it anymore and lent him a hundred silver dollars, but he still had to spend money without money.

In fact, Zhao Heng was also quite puzzled. People said that food from Tang Dynasty was unpalatable, but he didn't think so. Isn’t the Song Restaurant in Chang’an City delicious? The Song Dynasty flavor of Qingyishui, the characteristics of Bianliang...

Hell is a joke.

"Xiwen, Xiwen?"

Zhao Heng, who put down Jiaozi, still waved his hand in front of Fan Zhongyan's eyes.

At this moment, Fan Zhongyan finally came to his senses, his eyes flickered to the ground, and he burst out with a dazzling look.

"Foreign Minister Fan Zhongyan has met Emperor Taizong Wen of the Tang Dynasty!"

Fan Zhongyan's eyes were bright and he looked at Li Shimin like a fan.

Li Shimin smiled very smugly, stretched out his hand to help Fan Zhongyan up.

"Brother Fan, there's no need to be polite, and don't call me Emperor Taizong. I'm still alive and well, so don't call me by my temple name." Li Shimin held his beard in his hand and said with a smile, "Besides, now that Gao Ming has inherited the throne, I have Become the Supreme Emperor!"

In ancient times, people in their thirties could call themselves me. Li Shimin is already in his fifties this year, so there is nothing wrong with calling himself me.

It's just that Li Qing fed him the elixir and provided it to Lao Li like jelly beans. Now Lao Li looks to be in his late twenties, not much different from when he ascended the throne.

One thing to say, Li Shimin is indeed handsome. These eight words, the posture of a dragon and a phoenix, and the appearance of the sun, seem to have been created to describe this man.

From the moment he met Li Shimin, Li Qing understood why so many people were obsessed with blackmailing Li Shimin.

You say that a man has a better background than you, is more handsome than you, is even more capable than you, and has a wife who is at the top of your game. His performance is also the best in history, and he can be crushed in all aspects...

It’s not surprising that he is hated by others.

As one of the models of wise kings throughout the ages, Li Shimin was naturally sought after by civil servants and generals of all dynasties. No matter how the literati of the Song Dynasty secretly plotted against Li Shimin, deep down in their hearts, they all longed for a monarch like Li Shimin.

Think about it, in the court of that man, he speaks freely and has no scruples, and has no fucking party disputes. The most important thing is that he has won many external battles. I don't know what defeat is. This is a configuration that can only be found in dreams.

"Brilliant? But Prince Li Chengqian?" Fan Zhongyan asked in shock.

No wonder he was shocked. In the history of this plane, Li Chengqian rebelled in the 17th year of Zhenguan.

"Haha, my dear brother came to our Tang Dynasty in the eleventh year of Zhenguan."

Li Shimin only said one sentence, and Fan Zhongyan understood.

That's right, Li Chengqian in the eleventh year of Zhenguan was not hopeless. At that time, Queen Changsun had just died, and Li Chengqian had not yet completely let himself go and fell in love with the younger man.

Thinking of this, Fan Zhongyan also began to imagine that under the guidance of the immortal master, the emperor would definitely clean up the long-standing shortcomings and restart the Qingli New Deal.

Well, even the Zhenzong Dynasty went there, so the immortal master definitely didn't go there to make people laugh. In addition, Yelu Longxu was also here, and Fan Zhongyan suddenly realized that he probably captured Yelu Longxu alive under Chanzhou City.

If not to say that Fan Zhongyan is a famous minister through the ages, his thinking was not wrong, but his timing was wrong.

"The Immortal Master is really a god!" Fan Zhongyan transformed into Zeng Tai and fooled Li Qing a little.

Li Qing was happy.

I remember that I often memorized Fan Zhongyan's poems and articles, such as "I rested and leaned alone high in the Mingyue Tower, and the wine filled my heart with sadness, turning into tears of lovesickness", "When a man is sleepless, the general's white hair makes him cry when he conquers his husband", and "The world is worried about the world." Worry, and then enjoy the happiness of the world." In the classroom, the teachers also spoke impassionedly about Fan Zhongyan's deeds, praising his patriotism and praising his literary proficiency.

But now, Fan Zhongyan has begun to praise himself!
Li Qingzhen wanted to rush back to school and yell at the teacher.

Teacher, I am successful!
