Chapter 41: Can't eat before the prime minister's case

The handsome flag swayed in the wind, and hundreds of tents were arranged in an orderly manner.

The strange thing is that the scale of this military camp is actually not large, and the number of soldiers does not seem to be as large as the millions of soldiers rumored by the outside world.

In fact, this is just the warlord camp, the real main force is still fighting fiercely on the front line, and Pei Yan is performing the function of warlord, not the commander of this war.

Despite this, plans, big and small, are still constantly being transmitted between the two. Pei Yan is unable to fight in person due to his old age, but his hard work is no less than fighting in front of the battle.

It was Shen time, and Pei Yan was sitting in front of the case holding a document with no expression on his face.

"It's a pity" Pei Yan put down the document after a long time and shook his head.

And this was the "letter of oath" that Chen Yunsheng handed over to Pei Yan. At that time, Chen Yunsheng was exhausted and didn't finish his words. He only talked about how Tang Guan had become enemies with Liu Xun, so he handed the document to Pei Yan and went down immediately.

Rest, presumably still asleep at this time.

Xiao Qi and Chang Ying were also placed in other tents. At this time, only Pei Yan and Tang Guan were left in the main camp.

Pei Yan looked at Tang Guan, who was still unconscious on the bed, stood up and stood with his hands behind his hands. Looking at Tang Guan's young face, Pei Yan had a curious look on his face.

"The poem is Xiaoao Ling Cangzhou, little friend, good literary talent"

As soon as Pei Yan finished speaking, Tang Guan's fingers shook slightly. Pei Yan smiled and said, "My little friend, since you're awake, why do you pretend to be asleep?"

Finally, Tang Guan, who was on the bed, couldn't bear it anymore, opened his eyes and looked at Pei Yan.

It turned out that Tang Guan had regained consciousness half an hour ago, but his memory still remained at the time of drowning. He was afraid that he would fall into the hands of his enemies, so he kept pretending to be unconscious.

It wasn't until Pei Yan recited poetry that he felt confident and dared to get up.

"Who are you?" Tang Guan looked at Pei Yan with some vigilance. Seeing that his beard and hair were all white, but he was wearing armor, he couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart.

Pei Yan was a little surprised when he saw that Tang Guan could have such scheming ideas at such a young age. He smiled and said: "Old Pei Zilong, I have been admiring the beautiful article of the little friend who has been curing the disease for a long time."

When Tang Guan heard the name, he didn't care at first, but then he almost jumped, "Pei Yan!"

Fortunately, he didn't shout out loud and immediately suppressed it. When Pei Yan saw that he didn't speak, he smiled and said: "Yuhang is rich in treasures and has outstanding people. My little friend is a talented person. With this poem, it is truly unrivaled."

Hearing this, Tang Guan's "old face" rarely turned red. Both of his poems were plagiarized, and there were more than just these two timeless poems in his arms. As the saying goes, there were more than three hundred Tang poems. The copy of "Grandpa" in his arms

The "Three Hundred Tang Poems", which was bound by hand, even contains wonderful articles that have not yet been written by anyone in the world.

For example, several poems and essays written by He Zhizhang in his later years are also listed above.

Fortunately, Tang Guan also has the shortcomings of these "genuine literary giants", that is, his extensive knowledge and strong memory. A common saying written by Tang Guan goes like this: "What's yours may not be yours, but what's mine must be mine."

"

Tang Guan immediately said: "Mr. Pei?"

"I'm serious, although I am a leader, you can always call me "old man" in front of my little friend."

"Holy shit, you shamelessly admitted it! You still want to take advantage of me." Tang Guan cursed in his heart. Although he didn't know why he suddenly came here, at least he was alive and safe.

After confirming the identity of the other party, Tang Guan became more active and found that he was not injured at all. He immediately got out of bed and bowed and said: "I'm sorry, student Yu Hangtang Qubing, the prime minister wrote a letter, which flattered the student. The student was half

If you encounter a traitor, you cannot meet him in a decent manner, it is presumptuous."

Tang Guancun deliberately read the article, and immediately it seemed like a sour scholar who had been raping for many years and chattering endlessly.

He was right. Pei Yan was born in Ming Dynasty and loved to be knowledgeable and sensible. He was very happy to see Tang Guan being so polite.

"At such a young age, his words are extraordinary. It seems true." Pei Yan stepped forward to help Tang Guan's hand, thinking to himself.

"I've heard about my little friend for a long time, and my two wonderful poems are really wonderful."

"The gentleman praised me, and the students occasionally got a few words, but I didn't expect that they would be judged by my father-in-law."

"Haha!" Pei Yan couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw that Tang Guan was not a big man but he was always a flatterer, which was quite funny.

Tang Guan didn't take it seriously when he saw this. People like Li Taibai and Du Fu were not reused in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and their official career was not smooth throughout their lives. In Tang Guan's opinion, if they were at his current age, they could write poems that would be passed down to future generations.

If your career is still not smooth, then damn it.

Tang Guanzu held the poems of immortals and immortals, and stood on the shoulders of giants at an astonishing age, which made the world look at him in an uproar.

Of course, this is just one section, and the wishes of the current ruler still accounted for most of it. It happened that Tang Guan knew that in order to truly claim the throne, the woman far away in Chang'an not only had to use cruel officials to kill the opponents, but the most important thing was to have a great sage to help her.

Stand firm.

This is why Wu Zhao is so impatient. People like Tang Guan can't be said to be shocking, but can also be said to be rare.

Of course, Tang Guan, the person involved, still knows little about this, and he just uses his thick nerves to constantly fantasize about his own might and domineering.

"Sir, may I ask where the elder brothers who are traveling with the students are now?"

Pei Yan was looking at Tang Guan excitedly. Hearing this, he replied: "It doesn't matter, they are all in the camp."

Tang Guan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Pei Yan had always been a man of few words. In old history, he was known as "a man of few words and a smile, but with a strange sense of humor."

But his fiery gaze at this time made Tang Guan feel numb.

"Thank you so much for saving my life."

Pei Yan was stunned when he heard this, and looked away and said: "My little friend was rescued here by Chen Yushi, and he has nothing to do with the old man."

Tang Guan's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and he tried to recall everything that had happened before, when a ferocious face suddenly jumped out.

Tang Guan couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ma Lie!"

"What's wrong, little friend?" Pei Yan asked, not hearing Tang Guan's words clearly.

Tang Guan shook his head and said: "It's okay, the student just thought of the evil traitor and was a little scared."

Pei Yan sighed softly when he heard this, "No matter how talented you are, you are still just a child."

While the two were talking, a guard walked in outside the tent and entered the tent with food in hand.

"Captain, it's time to have dinner," the guard said after a moment of surprise when he saw that Tang Guan had woken up.

"Gu~" Tang Guan could not help but feel his stomach growl when he smelled the aroma of the food.

Pei Yan couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and said: "Let Huotoujun add some bowls, chopsticks and two dishes."

"yes"

Konwe put down the meal and felt a little strange. It was rare to see Pei Yan so excited.

"My friend, please sit down."

Tang Guan heard this and looked around, but found no place for him to sit. Except for the table, there was no other furniture. He had no fame yet, so he could not sit at the same table as the Prime Minister.

"Old husband, students just need to stand."

Pei Yan took Tang Guan's hand and placed him in front of the case. He sat cross-legged behind the case and said, "Since you all say, "Fame and wealth are always there," why are you afraid that "you can't eat before the Prime Minister's case?"

"Haha" Tang Guan couldn't help laughing when he heard this. This Pei Yan was much more fun than he imagined.

Pei Yan also smiled slightly, dipped his hand in the water bowl, pushed away the official military letter, wrote on the table the words "take the prostitute and follow him wherever you want" and asked: "Little friend, can you tell me,

What is a prostitute?"

Tang Guan was shocked when he heard this. He showed his prominence and was praised by Pei Yan, but he was still a little unconvinced in the end. He thought for a while and said: "Woman"

Pei Yan retracted his hand and stared at Tang Guandao: "Should all women in the world become prostitutes?"

Tang Guan remained silent, wiped the water stains on the table with his sleeves, dipped it in the water like Pei Yan, and wrote: "Once upon a time, it was difficult for the sea to be water, except for Wushan, it was not clouds. I looked back lazily on the flowers, half of them were destined to practice Taoism, and half were destined to be kings."

"Old husband, prostitutes are also human beings. They are still young when they are cured of illness, so I dare not speak nonsense. However, I have seen flower boats in Yuhang, and I have also read in books that singing girls are affectionate and shed tears in their youth. The market is complicated, and the word "female branch" has made prostitutes

If you have the pain of being dominated by others, why should you, a dignified prime minister, be obsessed with curing the disease?"

"What a Tang Qubing!" Pei Yan looked at this sad poem and listened to Tang Guan's eloquent words, and suddenly raised his head to look at Tang Guan.

"You are so young and have such a big heart, I will give you another test"

After that, Pei Yan wrote another word "official" on the table.

"Qu Bing, do you know this word?"

Tang Guan looked over and over again. He had finally reached this point, facing a famous figure in history. The word "official" revealed the question that Pei Yan wanted to ask the most.

What exactly is an official? Generations in China have been thinking about this issue for thousands of years, and they are all yearning for this word. Later generations are a society with the theme of big capital. Under the current of material desires, people have unlimited pursuits and desires.

.

Officials have become the best way. The word "official" expresses the status quo throughout the ages. Man is a social animal, and if there is a society, there will be classes. Officials seem to be the best embodiment of people being superior to others.

Whether corrupt officials or honest officials, they all enjoy power, but some try their best to compress it, while others release it and expand it infinitely.

After a long time, Tang Guan sighed: "Old husband, I don't know the word "cure".

Pei Yan was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "To get rid of illness, officials should use their favor to overwhelm the public. Those who serve as officials should use their favor to overwhelm themselves. The way to be an official is not to be in the upper class or to do anything to others." (Note: Zhen Nian mian)

Tang Guan was gifted with erudition, and although his words were convoluted, it was understood that they were warning him not to abuse his power and not to care about people's looks if he became an official in the future.

"No wonder this guy died so early." Thinking of this, Tang Guan's heart moved. This old man was too stubborn. Although he seemed to be knowledgeable and talented, he really couldn't praise his character.

But other information revealed in his words made Tang Guan happy. Since Pei Yan was not imprisoned as expected, it means that he still has power, and he values ​​himself so much and asserts that he will definitely embark on an official career in the future. This is a big deal.

.

But what Pei Yan said next made Tang Guan moved.

"The old man has been up and down in official circles throughout his life, and he is always by the king's side. Official is one word, and king is another."

After saying that, he stood up and looked out of the tent with his hands behind his back: "Now the war between Tubo and Tibet has not ended, the Turks are watching with eager eyes, and the Central Plains is ready to move again."

"Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms!" Tang Guan's eyelids suddenly twitched. He didn't expect that Pei Yan, who was in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, could actually see the outcome of the Tang Empire in the future.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, wars broke out and the people were in dire straits and faced foreigners.

It was an extremely dark and chaotic history, second only to the Five Husbands in horror!

When the two of them were silent, the guard came in again to deliver the meal. At this time, there was indeed an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks and two plates of dishes.

Only then did Pei Yan come back to his senses. He smiled as if he was mocking himself and said, "My little friend, I'm hungry. Let's eat first."
