Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 38 Meeting Luo Binwang for the First Time (2)

"Prince, please sit down, there is no tea in the shabby room, clean water is waiting, Haihan."

King Luo Bin let Li Xian into the room, poured a glass of cold water for Li Xian with his own hands, put it on the table, and said something calmly, although his face was calm and calm, there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

"Thank you, Mr. Luo. It is a rare blessing for the younger generation to listen to Mr.'s teachings. Clear water is fine wine. The students are ashamed to accept it."

Li Xian is a sensitive person. Although the melancholy in King Luo Bin's eyes flashed by, it couldn't be concealed from Li Xian's observation. He was filled with emotion in his heart, but he didn't bring it to his face. Instead, he was respectful. He bowed his hands and saluted, and thanked him, not only that, but he actually picked up the tea bowl and took a small sip.

"The man who hasn't consulted the young master is..."

Seeing that Li Xian was very respectful, Luo Binwang looked at Li Xian with more admiration in his eyes, nodded with a smile, and tentatively asked about Li Xian's family.

"It's good for Mr. to know that the student's ancestors were also officials and officials. Now his family is in decline, and he only works as a merchant. The student has been studying since childhood, especially fond of poetry and books. However, there is no one to guide him. His achievements are limited. Today, I can meet you, a student. Fortunately."

Li Xian had already prepared his speech long before he came to visit King Luo Bin, and at this moment when King Luo Bin heard the question, he did not panic, bowed his body and answered politely.

"Oh, so that's how it is. A businessman's way of life, I'm afraid it's not good for you to devote yourself to learning. Luo doesn't dare to speak out and give you advice. If there are old works, Luo may be able to comment on them."

Merchants have no status, this has been the case since ancient times, even if the atmosphere of the early Tang Dynasty was open, the status of the merchants is still not high, this time Li Xian said that he was born as a merchant. But it was not concealed, the reason why he was still polite was simply because he had a good impression of Li Xian himself, but even if he had a good impression, King Luo Bin obviously did not intend to have a long talk with Li Xian, and directly asked for Li Xian's old works , its intention was to forcefully comment on Li Xian's poems, so as to send Li Xian away.

Li Xian really did a lot of poetry in his previous life. His level is also at the level of hiding himself in bed. Of course, when he was an emperor, every time he published a poem, he would always win applause. Countless, at that time, Li Xian really compared himself to the four masters of the early Tang Dynasty, but considering the experience of Li Sheng in the later generations, looking back, they were all kind of stuff, and he couldn't take it out at all, let alone in the Tang Dynasty. King Luo Bin was in front of such an expert, even if ordinary scholars saw him, he might frown, and as to whether he would lose his appetite because of this, he might have to talk about it.

Of course, his own poems are not good enough, but Li Xian has lived under the red flag for half his life. If he is really forced into a corner, it is not impossible to copy a copy. Not to mention, "Three Hundred Poems of the Tang Dynasty" has been memorized Yes, if you really come up with a few songs, maybe you will become Li Bai, but there is a problem here--Li Xian came to see King Luo Bin, and he really wanted to recruit him, so sooner or later he would have to expose the truth Status, at that time, it is not what Li Xian wants to see if his poems are famous all over the world. The reason is very simple. The reason why Li Xian abandoned literature and went to martial arts is to deceive people. Li Xian is not sensitive to the name of literature Yes, obviously, the copied thing must not make King Luo Bin despise it, but also not shock him to heaven, so it is difficult to calculate. Of course, since Li Xian dared to come, he would not be unprepared. No, but after Li Xian bowed and saluted, he took out a rolled paper from his sleeve, held it in both hands, and handed it to King Luo Bin.

"The wind is cold, the clouds are clear, the snow is clear, the river smoke is washed away, and the willows are light. No one sweeps the fallen leaves in front of the eaves, and there is night light on the side of the book window. Well, the word Wang Gongzi is good, the artistic conception of the poem is also good, and the structure is correct, but There are still things to consider.”

King Luo Bin unfolded the rolled paper, first glanced roughly, then began to chant softly, and at the end, after a few words of praise, he felt that the seven-character quatrains were not yet perfect, so he frowned slightly, He pondered over it carefully.

The poem is "Ji Xue" written by Rong Yu, a realist poet in the mid-Tang Dynasty. When he raised doubts, Li Xian knew it very well, and he was secretly amused in his heart, but he put on a teachable look on his face, and he bowed very humbly and replied: "A child's play can catch the eyes of Mr. , the students are both happy and frightened, so please give me some pointers, sir."

"Otherwise, as far as this poem itself is concerned, the charm is quite good, and it is difficult for people who have not experienced enough to write it. It is rare to be able to write this poem at the age of a prince. If you study it, you can become a great tool, but two of them should be slightly polished. For example, the word "fallen leaves" is used here. Although it can rhyme, it is too straightforward, and it hurts the artistic conception. If it is changed to several pieces, it may be better. Good, in addition, in the sentence of Yeming on the side of the book window, the side character is quite abrupt, so it seems to be able to be changed to one word in order to echo the previous sentence. If so, a good sentence can be formed, and this poem should be praised. Home!"

When King Luo Bin talked about the origin of the poem, he was clear and straight-forward, and Li Xian couldn't help being a little dumbfounded when he heard it, because what King Luo Bin changed was exactly where Li Xian changed the words secretly. The words after that are exactly the same as the original.

"Mr. is brilliant, the students are amazed!"

If the compliments before Li Xian were mostly acting, then the words at this time were completely sincere. Li Xian was completely convinced of Luo Binwang's ability in poetry and fu, but what? , this kind of result was also expected by Li Xian, after all, under the prestigious name, how can there be a vain person.

"Sir, don't mention it again. With the majestic appearance of a prince, he must be a member of my generation, and his achievements will be high in the future. Although Luo does not abandon himself, he really dare not be called a prince. If he does not dislike it, It's enough to call Luo a certain brother." Luo Binwang obviously liked Li Xian's "poetry talent" very much, so he stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Since my elder brother has an order, I dare not disobey. However, I also ask my elder brother not to call my son, my little friend, or Sanlang directly." Hearing what Luo Binwang said, Li Xian also laughed Hehe replied, and as soon as the words fell, the old and the young laughed out loud almost at the same time, and the hearty laughter echoed endlessly in the shabby room.

"With my elder brother's great talent, it is inevitable that he will enter Jinshi High School this time. Don't blame Saburo for being shallow and deep. Saburo is very curious about what position my elder brother will seek? Is it to be sent to the prefectures or counties, or do you want to serve in the court?" After the old and the young laughed for a while, they talked about poetry again. Regardless of the age difference of almost a generation, the communication between them was very happy. However, it was not Li Xian who came here today to ask for advice on poetry. Seeing that the atmosphere was harmonious, Li Xian took advantage of the situation and turned to the main topic.

"It doesn't matter, Luo has never avoided people in his actions. If he is lucky enough to win this time, he will serve in the court, and the state and county are not what he wants!" King Luo Bin stroked his beard with a smile, and replied bluntly, The voice is full of confidence.

Sure enough!Li Xian knew what happened to King Luo Bin in his previous life after being a Jinshi. This old Jinshi was sent to the Ministry of Rites because he refused to bribe the officials of the Ministry of Officials, and became a mere nine-rank Fengli Lang. Although due to Liu Daoxiang's secret efforts, he was promoted to Dongtai Xiangzheng Bachelor (this is an institution dedicated to writing poems and poems for the royal family, which is equivalent to the Hanlin Academy of later generations, and non-educated people cannot fill the position.), it is a pity that the bachelor did not last long. Because King Luo Bin couldn't understand that the court was full of mediocre people, he angrily ridiculed them with poems and prose, and was immediately dismissed from office. He took up the post of censor, but because he was dissatisfied with Empress Wu's political intervention, he repeatedly impeached a group of Queen's party members who were acting as minions, and was framed tragically.

In his previous life, every time Li Xian thought of what happened to King Luo Bin, he always felt that his life was not at the right time—he was clearly a man of great talent, but his uprightness and daring to speak out were not under the famous prime minister Wei Zheng. The empress Gaozong and the shameless Empress Wu finally ended up throwing themselves into the river. The tragedy of what happened made future generations regret it. Li Xian came here this time to see if he could be recruited Under the flag, on the other hand, it might be that he wanted to give King Luo Bin a trick to avoid his miserable and tragic life.

"I admire my elder brother's pride. It's just that the situation of the court today may not be comparable to that of the past. Since the eldest grandson was deposed, it is difficult to have peace. Instead of trying to serve the court, it is better to go to the state and county to establish a foundation. After the foundation is stabilized , or it can be used to clear up stubborn illnesses..." Li Xian pondered for a moment, and put forward his opinion in a tactful tone as much as possible, but before he finished speaking, he saw King Luo Bin's complexion darken, and he waved his hand to interrupt Li Xian's words.

"Stubborn illnesses should be treated with heavy medicine. If everyone shrinks back, who would dare to stand up? Although Luo is a poor generation, he dare not be a successor. You don't need to say such words anymore, Luo has made up his mind!"

When it comes to the way of governing, King Luo Bin changed his previous kindness, not to mention his desolate and lonely expression earlier, he was extremely majestic, and he had an aura of letting go despite tens of thousands of people.

Forget it, this old man is really the one who doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back!As soon as Li Xian heard what King Luo Bin said, he knew that he would absolutely persuade him not to move, and he didn't want to spend any more time talking. If it annoyed him, it would not be beautiful. Thinking about it again, the future will last forever, and there is still a chance If there is a way to keep him safe, he will not talk about it any more. After the accusation, he will turn the topic back to the poems of Fenghuaxueyue.
