"Swallow ninety thousand miles and go straight to Nantianmen..."
The corner of Li Po's mouth twitched slightly. He must have drunk too much. The famous monkey seemed to have done this.
This is what Duan Lun, the Minister of Household Affairs, did. The talents of the Kansai people are really hard to describe in words. They are all full of great ambitions, but after they are spoken, it becomes something like...the sea, it's all fucking water...
It's not that the words don't convey the meaning, it's just that the words are simple, the meaning is not deep, and there is no theme. Why did you go to Nantianmen after drinking too much? Do you want to rebel against the Jade Emperor?
It made Li Po regretted making this joke with his ministers. Even though he had little literary background, he had learned about it over the years and read a lot of books, so he could still comment on articles and poems.
Poems from his ministers were sent to him one after another, which gradually made him embarrassed. He finally got to know the literary and military poetic talents of the entire dynasty. They were really mixed, and the overall level was even more appalling.
However, it is understandable that the troubled times have just ended and are far from the prosperous times when flowers are blooming and fire is cooking oil. It is not surprising that people in high positions focus on martial arts and neglect literary affairs.
Li Po glanced at the man sideways. He seemed very proud... This man was Li Yuan's son-in-law. The two ministers from the Ministry of Revenue were brothers-in-law, so he was considered a sight in the court.
Duan Lun came from a distinguished family. His father was Duan Wenzhen, the former Minister of War of the Sui Dynasty. He had a place among the famous generals of the Sui Dynasty. His achievements were not inferior to those of He Ruobi, Han Qinhu, Shi Wansui and others, or even worse. Back then, Li Po accompanied him in the Liaodong expedition.
When I was young, I would also wear sackcloth and mourn for others.
Duan Lun has always been known as a bold and unrestrained person in the court, and it is common for him to offend others, but he does things properly, so he won't tease him, otherwise he will have to be the Bute Mawen for a few days.
On the contrary, Xiao Yu said, "Who can drink with you, only I, Xiao Chukuang." It's praiseworthy, but this guy is really not afraid of offending people. With all the civil and military officials in the court here, you are worthy of drinking with the king, and others can be happy.
That's strange, you are indeed quite arrogant, you have the demeanor of a madman in the late Jin Dynasty.
Generally speaking, it's like a car accident scene, the ground is in a mess. It might be better if we put them back and let someone on the staff give them advice?
After testing the talents of his ministers, Li Po learned a lesson: when the emperor and his ministers enjoy themselves together, it should be different for each person, otherwise everyone will be embarrassed.
At this time, Li Po understood Yang Guang a little bit. People said that in terms of literary talent, I am also the emperor. I guess he was talking about the nobles of Kansai.
Li Po also read a few of Yang Guang's poems, which are indeed remarkable. At least they are much higher than the overall level of the Chang'an courtiers, right?
Li Po thought of the last literary meeting in Chang'an Academy. Obviously those young people were more talented. When they reach high positions, will they improve the literary level of Chang'an Court?
But is that a good thing or a bad thing? Li Po couldn't tell for sure. Literary literacy has nothing to do with governing the world. Whether a talented person has talent or not, the probability is not high. After all, people's energy is limited.
If he thinks about it this way, the ministers in front of him are still good. They are people who dance and write all day long. How much energy does he have to care about other things? After a long time, if he entertains himself and others, wouldn't he become a jester?
?
In the end, it was Yang Shidao, the newly promoted Zhongshushe man, who came to the rescue. Otherwise, Li Po would definitely order Cen Wenwen or Yan Shigu to participate again.
"Spring has arrived in the Jade Palace, and the night in Jin'ou is getting late. The moonlight is shaking slightly drunk, and the dew of the fairy palms is thick. The sound of the wild geese breaks off at a high altitude, and a glass of wine brings away the cold spring. The refreshing air is clear in the sky, and I chant loudly to worship the Lord."
A five-character poem that is very appropriate for the occasion. Not only does it surpass the ministers in skill, it also flatters the emperor. It is not bad.
Yang Shidao entered the court not long ago. He was born into the Yang family of Hongnong. He was the youngest son of Yang Xiong, the king of Guan, and the younger brother of Yang Gongren, the official minister. He had lived in Luoyang for many years and came to Chang'an with Wang Shiyun the year before last.
In fact, this man was also a standard Kansai native. He had led troops into battle with Li Mi in Henan, wiped out bandits everywhere, helped Wang Shiyun defend the city, and wrote poems and other things as a side job.
Riding a horse and wielding a sword, standing in front of the army is just normal. Look at his body and dark red face. He doesn't look like a scholar at all. But because he is smart by nature, his articles are indeed good, otherwise he would not
He will not take over the post of Zhongshu Sheren after Cen Wenwen.
It is a standard piece for generals and generals, and can be said to be Yang's Qilin'er.
The three brothers Yang Gongren all held important positions in the government, and they could barely support the Yang family in Hongnong. However, whether the Yang family can completely recover depends on their descendants.
……………………
While the Liangyi Palace was busy, Yan Liben, the general prime minister, had already packed his things and was preparing to go home for dinner.
There will be a lot of things for the general to do this year. After the world is calmed down, the people's livelihood will be improved, cities and houses will be renovated everywhere, bridges and roads will be built, ditches will be dug, etc., all of which will require the general's participation.
After the beginning of spring, many people in the prison have left Chang'an to work in various counties. They are all considered to be highly promoted. If they go out to serve for two or three years, even if their performance is mediocre, it is a lot of hard work and has great benefits for their career.
Roughly speaking, it means that when the imperial court is recruiting people, every one of them counts. As long as you have the will, you will almost certainly be able to find your place.
Yan Liben was well-informed, so he also planned to take this opportunity to go out for a walk. At the same time, he also persuaded his brother Yan Lide that everyone should go out and see who is more useful.
Needless to say, Yan Lide is also very emotional. Artists like them will stagnate sooner or later if they don't go out to collect styles and experience the world.
So tonight Yan Liben went to his brother's place to continue discussing and see which one would be more suitable for them. In fact, both of them had intentions.
Yan Lide wanted to go to Jiangling and see the mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and since he was very interested in clothing, Jiangnan was naturally his first choice.
Yan Liben likes liveliness. He is not very interested in the unfamiliar place in the south. He plans to go to Jinyang. He prefers architecture. He wants to see Jinyang Palace in Jinyang and, if possible, the palace ruins of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
.
Jinyang Palace and Jiangdu Palace are the two major palace complexes in the north and south. Jiangdu is actually the first choice, followed by Jinyang.
But who makes him like the excitement? His good friend Wang Jing has been inviting him to meet in Jinyang. He also knows Xue Ju, Chu Suiliang and others there, so naturally nothing will happen to Jiangdu.
When we arrived in Jinyang, we met up with friends and chatted about everything. What a wonderful day it was?
The two brothers were about to go their separate ways. Yan Liben could imagine that when they met, you would complain that I didn't strive for improvement, and I would complain that you didn't understand brotherly love. In the end, the eldest brother got angry and scolded him severely, causing a scene.
They broke up unhappy.
