To be fair, although these two lines of poetry have been widely circulated in later generations, they are not considered to be eternal masterpieces.
But coupled with Li Shan's feat, the audacious meaning in the poem jumped out, and it had a majestic momentum.
Mrs. Cui imagined carefully, her smile was sweet, and her face and neck turned crimson unconsciously. Cui Xin was so angry that she had nowhere to vent her anger.
But her daughter moved to Beijing and was often scolded by her mother for getting married. She looked sad all day long, but now she is smiling all over her face, which also comforts Cui Xin's love for his daughter... That's all, you are taking advantage of that kid!
But you still have to wait until you are fifteen and have haircuts!
No, no, that boy has beautiful concubines and maids by his side. It would be terrible if he turns out to be the eldest son of a concubine... Why don't we do it a little earlier?
Cui Xin felt confused for a moment, and suddenly thought that although Li Shan's family was in decline, he was still from a famous family. I heard that his mother was not an ordinary person, so he shouldn't have produced any eldest son, right?
His daughter pestered him again and asked about Dai County affairs. Cui Xin sighed and casually recounted the grand occasion of Xia City. He also talked about what he saw that day and sighed: "I have never seen such parents in my life... I have been in office for half a year and have such a great reputation. Huairen
Live up to the name of Huairen."
Miss Cui’s eyes were sparkling.
Cui Xin said softly: "My daughter has a keen eye, Huairen is truly a rare hero, and her article "Ai Lian Shuo" is truly the work of Tianhe."
Miss Cui raised her sleeves to cover her red cheeks and said with a smile: "My father has just returned to Beijing, and I don't know yet... The report of the Mayi battle reached the capital that day, and His Majesty gave a golden compliment, saying that Li Langjun is the best person in the world."
First class!”
"The best in the world?" Cui Xin murmured and repeated, "He is worthy of it."
Mrs. Cui's face lit up with joy, "Father said so!"
Cui Xin was a little surprised, and after asking a few questions, he found out that the evaluation of "the best in the world" spread to the public, and there was quite a discussion. Although Li Shan had friendship with the descendants of the Li family in Longxi, the Wang family in Taiyuan, and the Lu family in Fanyang, there were still some people
Quite controversial.
This is inevitable. Although Li and Tang Dynasties conducted imperial examinations and abandoned the example of not taking the imperial examinations from poor families in the Sui Dynasty, the family still occupies the mainstream... Although many people speculate that Li Shan is not a descendant of a poor family, but after all, his father and ancestors are unknown, so naturally there are people
Dissatisfied with this.
Because in the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, only the top disciples are qualified to be rated as the first grade...such as the calligrapher Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Cui Xinxin thought that Li Mu, Duke of Shen, had gone through the three dynasties of Wei, Zhou and Sui, and had been an official in the state of Taishi, Shangzhu, and Taifu. He was given an iron certificate of alchemy and had the privilege of "praise and worship without fame, and death without rebellion". If it weren't for his son
Li Jincai was convicted and passed down to four generations. The reputation of Li Shan's generation was enough to be rated as top grade.
Now that this aspect was mentioned, Cui Xin also made it clear, "There is no need for my parents to pry, and this matter cannot be leaked for a while, so don't worry."
Miss Cui suppressed her smile and said seriously: "Li Langjun is a man of extraordinary talents, who works hard and has a noble character. He said that day that he should take the fame of his father and ancestors for himself."
Noble conduct... This word made Cui Xin's teeth ache. With that boy's words and deeds, are they worthy of high conduct?
After spending more than half a month together this time, Cui Xin was able to see Li Shan's temperament. He was kind and decisive, and he was quite skillful, but he was also very thoughtful... Just look at how far Liu Shirang was forced to go.
However, Cui Xin also knew that now that the world has been settled, there are internal disputes over the heir apparent, and there are Turks' eyes on the outside. People with high moral character... may not be able to keep their family, but people like Li Shan have a better chance of reshaping the family's lintel.
The father and daughter chatted for a long time, and footsteps were heard outside. Mrs. Zhang came in with a smile, "The Li family posted a message."
Miss Cui blushed, and Cui Xin asked in surprise: "Huairen only has a widowed mother..."
Logically speaking, widows rarely take the initiative to ask for help.
Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said, "It's my cousin who is a guest."
It suddenly dawned on Cui Xin that his grandmother was Li Keshi's aunt. The two were cousins, but their relationship was slightly distant. However, they had known each other when Li Keshi was a soldier in Youzhou.
In fact, in Cui Xin's earliest list of son-in-laws, Li Kai was at the top.
"When will you arrive?"
Mrs. Zhang glanced at her daughter and then said, "I'm not here to visit. The wintersweet is in full bloom at Dongshan Temple outside the city. I invite you to climb the mountain to enjoy the plum blossoms."
Cui Xin scratched his beard, hesitated for a while before nodding and said: "I have heard for a long time that Dongshan Temple preserved the Western Scriptures, which are worth appreciating."
After a pause, Cui Xin looked at his daughter and added: "The mountain road is rugged, so you don't have to go."
"Father!"
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "There are also female members of the Li family who come to the temple to offer incense. Since we don't have any male relatives, we might as well go with them."
Well, this foreign man naturally refers specifically to Li Shan... Miss Cui immediately hugged her mother's arm and smiled as brightly as a flower.
Mrs. Zhang hugged her daughter and was about to explain a few words when she suddenly saw the ruby in the box on the case. She couldn't help but avert her eyes and said in surprise: "Such a gem, it's a perfect match for a golden walking rocker!"
Cui Xin said in a loud voice: "Send it and send it back... I still leave it to Sanlang. This time I met a member of the Liu clan of Jie County in Dai County and wanted to have a daughter, so I can make a bride price."
"Then how can you do it!" Mrs. Zhang snorted, "This is my daughter's!"
Cui Xin was too lazy to say anything else and went out with a few random words. Although he had just returned to Beijing yesterday, he still wanted to go to Zhongshu Province today and at least say hello to Zhongshu Ling and the two ministers of Zhongshu.
Of course, Cui Xin has other purposes.
The first person to come up and say hello was Yu Wenshiji, the Minister of Public Affairs, "Finally Mr. Cui is back."
After a few words of greeting, Cui Xin whispered: "Before leaving, Huairen asked me to send my greetings... There are still some gifts, which will be delivered to the house in the next two days."
Yu Wenshi nodded in understanding and said with a smile: "I will ask for a bowl of wedding wine someday."
"That's natural."
After hesitating for a while, Yu Wenshiji asked in a low voice: "How is Huairen's current situation in Dai County?"
"Mayi and his party were not injured this time, right?"
Cui Xin took a deep look at Yuwen Shiji, shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
Cui Xin once asked Li Shan why Yuwen Shiji was so protective... Li Shan mentioned Princess Nanyang and Zen Master Yuwen who had returned to Jiuquan in an unpredictable tone.
Although he didn't understand psychology, Cui Xin also vaguely felt that Yu Wenshiji's protection of Li Shan had nothing to do with conflicts of interest.
After successively paying homage to Zhongshu Ling Yang Gongren and another Zhongshu minister Wen Daya, Cui Xin walked out of Zhongshu Province, crossed Chengtianmen Street, and went to the opposite side to pay a visit to Jiang Guogong Chen Shuda, the provincial minister, on behalf of Li Shan...
...Among the prime ministers, Chen Shuda and Li Shan have the closest personal relationship, a bit like the friendship between gentlemen as light as water.
"Huairen seems to have made a lot of profits by opening up trade routes." Chen Shuda laughed and said, "He actually asked Cui Sheren to give him gifts."
Cui Xin was also speechless. Before leaving, Li Shan made a list and asked him to send gifts to him... He couldn't go back during the Spring Festival, but he still had to send gifts.
As for the few people I saw today, Yang Gongren, Yu Wenshiji, and Chen Shuda are all on the list...but they may not be in person. For example, Yang Gongren's eldest son Yang Siyi is on the list.
After chatting for a while, Cui Xin stood up to say goodbye and suddenly asked: "By the way, I haven't paid a visit to Prime Minister Pei yet..."
Chen Shuda didn't notice it at all, "Brother Hong Da suffered from the cold a few days ago and was recuperating in his mansion."
Cui Xin's eyes flickered, he saluted and left... As the Cui family of Qinghe, he was almost trapped in Mayi by Pei Shiju this time. Li Shan could not fight back for the time being, so he only cut off five heads of the Zhao family in Dai County, but he
Cui Xin is confident enough to confront Pei Shiju.
