335, Recommend Li Taibai (please complete the order)
Bai Gui did not give Wu Huifei an answer, but just refuted her idea.
His goal from beginning to end is to cultivate Taoism and seek immortality.
As for Taoism, there is the Taoism of mountain hermits, such as Zong Shengguan's "Qingyu Hidden Method".
And his way is to refine one's heart in the world of mortals, to use the power of the world to cultivate a flawless golden elixir, to follow the path of temple calculation, and to rule the world.
Therefore, when he selected the three volumes of Taoism, he chose Guishan Ce.
…
Arrive at Lishan Mountain.
Hunting and hot spring bathing.
The palace built on Lishan Mountain is called Huaqing Palace, also called "Huaqing Pool".
"There is a palace on Gaogao Li Mountain, with three or four levels of red towers and purple palaces." - Bai Juyi's "Li Gong Gao".
There are five most famous pools in the Huaqing Palace. One is Taizong Li Shimin's Xingchen Tang, which is Li Shimin's imperial pool. It is closest to the hot spring water source and has the best water quality. The second one is the imperial pool of emperors of all dynasties, and it is also the current pool where Li Longji bathes. It is the lotus pool.
Soup. The third one is Guifei Tang, also called Haitang Pool, which is the soup pool of Yang Guifei. It has not been built at this time. The fourth one is Prince Tang, which is used for the bathing of the prince of the East Palace. The fifth one is Shangshi Tang, which is used by the chamberlain to bathe.
land.
However, in addition to these soup pools, there are also some small soup pools for officials to bathe.
Bai Gui went to Princess Garden.
After bathing, we started hunting the next day.
Among the generals of the imperial court, Bai Gui was the most courageous and the best in shooting, so he also killed the most prey.
Received the award from Li Longji.
He is the number one scholar in martial arts and ranks first in military merit. He has been granted the title of Duke of the Kingdom. There is no need to hide his clumsiness for such a small matter.
"Bai Xiang might as well write an impromptu poem to describe what is happening at this moment."
Li Longji got excited and said.
"I am poor at poetry, but there is a talented person under my tent who can come forward and compose poetry."
Bai Gui raised his hand.
He is now the prime minister and holds a high position, so he tries to avoid writing poems and poems. Because there will always be idle literati who try to figure out what he is thinking at the moment from his poems and poems.
If you write it more vaguely, you will say that he is passive and withdrawn from the world, and he has no ambition. If you write it more clearly, you will say that he is sharp and enterprising.
In short, it was not good for political affairs, so he tried to write less poems and poems.
"Bai Qing, you are so humble."
"If the literary talents of the Tang Dynasty were equal to each other, you would have a dozen of them, and you would be a match of talent."
Li Longji shook his head and chuckled, and said.
The dignified Jinshi scholar said that he could not refuse Fu. How is this possible?!
Bai Gui now has a certain reputation in the literary world, but in recent years he has mostly made contributions in the war, which has obscured his literary talents.
"Your Majesty is so complimentary."
"My lord... I'm so ashamed."
Bai Gui replied.
Xie Lingyun once said: "All the literary talents in the world share one stone. Cao Zijian's talent is unparalleled. He alone has eight buckets. I have one bucket, and everyone in the world shares another bucket."
It is said that a talent of eight fights is frowned upon by others, but a talent of one fight is already a great praise.
"You, Bai Meihe, can still bear this sentence."
"By the way, you said that your staff is extremely talented? Who is this person? He is so lucky that you, Bai Qing, can personally recommend him?"
Li Longji said in surprise.
This was the first time Bai Gui personally recommended talents to him.
Face still needs to be given.
Even if it is not the first time, when the prime minister speaks, he, the emperor, must give him face.
"This person's surname is Li Bai, and his given name is Taibai."
Bai Gui smiled, summoned a personal guard, and asked him to ask Li Bai to come and meet the saint.
After he appointed Li Bai as his staff, he also asked Li Bai to write poems on weekdays. When playing Tubo, Li Bai accompanied the army and did some things that a staff should do.
Li Bai is now almost 20 years old.
When hunting and playing in Lishan Mountain, it is also a good time for some powerful people to recommend talents.
Not long after, Li Bai came forward to see the driver.
"Bai Qing said that you are good at poetry. Now I order you to write a poem."
"I wonder...if it's possible?"
Li Longji took a look at Li Bai and nodded secretly. He was dressed in white clothes and had a cool temperament. At first glance, he knew that he was a young man with literary talent.
"The common people thank Your Majesty and Prime Minister Bai for recommending..."
When Li Bai heard this, he was secretly grateful.
Most people can't ask for the opportunity to meet a saint. When they came to Lishan Autumn Hunting this time, they, the disciples of various powerful families, were basically crowded together. Many of the disciples were beaming with joy just because they met a royal family member.
And he met Li Longji directly, and from the starting point, he was superior to countless others.
"Poetry..., the grassroots people have already drafted it, but..."
Li Bai looked around and hesitated for a while.
Although he has the ability to compose a poem in seven steps, he has also thought about what poems he should write if he meets a powerful person during this autumn hunt in Lishan Mountain. Therefore, he has long thought about it secretly and is fully prepared.
"Come here, give him pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Li Longji ordered the chamberlain.
Lean less.
The chamberlain set up a table outside and placed the four treasures of the study horizontally.
Li Bai stepped forward to write a poem, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he had written more than a thousand words of poems with great literary talent.
"I would like to invite Your Majesty and Prime Minister Bai to appreciate this piece of "The Great Hunting Poem"."
He picked up the manuscript and handed it over.
Although there are other civil and military officials here, Bai Gui has a different status and he personally recommended him. Bai Gui is also famous for his talents and is his senior, so he not only lets Li Longji judge, but also allows Bai Gui to come before him.
Go and read.
“Nice handwriting!”
"The talent is great! The literary talent is first-class in the world!"
"No wonder Bai Xiang would recommend you..."
Li Longji looked at it for a few times and kept praising it.
His appreciation level is very high, and he can tell at a glance what Li Bai's poems are like. This poem is gorgeous in rhetoric and unparalleled in literary talent.
"Bai Qinghui has an eye for pearls..."
Li Longji praised Bai Gui again and handed the manuscript to Bai Gui for him to appreciate.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Bai Gui said casually and took the manuscript.
His recommendation of Li Bai this time was also to pave the way for the subsequent appointment of Li Linfu as the imperial censor Zhongcheng in the political hall. Of course, he also took this opportunity to recommend Li Bai to Li Longji. Over the years, Li Bai has been by his side, even if he has no credit,
There is also hard work. It is also time to recommend.
The great hunting poem written in manuscript is indeed gorgeous and unique in terms of rhetoric.
As expected of Li Taibai!
"I'm going to reward you with a position in the Imperial Academy, but I don't know what to do?"
After pondering for a while, Li Longji thought about it and said.
Hanlin Daizhao is a sixth-rank official. It is too high to give him this position for the first time. For a person whose literary name has not yet been revealed. But first, it is recommended by the prime minister Bai Gui personally, so he has to sell face.
Firstly, Li Taibai's level of great hunting talent is basically comparable to that of few people, which makes him happy to see hunting. Thirdly, Hanlin's waiting for imperial edicts is just a sinecure, responsible for handling the four directions' comments, comments, and articles, which is not important.
The position is given as long as it is given.
Sometimes, official positions cannot only be based on official qualities, but also on the specific position!
"white……"
Li Bai hesitated for a moment and did not agree immediately.
In the past, he would have agreed immediately, as he was a sixth-grade official. But after working with Bai Gui as an aide, he had learned a lot about how to behave.
So he raised his head and glanced at Bai Gui.
Bai Gui saw Li Bai's gaze coming towards him and nodded secretly. Li Taibai is still capable of doing something right and is not a political idiot.
He stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know that Li Taibai is the son of a criminal from Xing. His father, Li Keren, killed people, even though there was a reason... Therefore, I am bold and willing to ask for a favor for Li Bai and allow him to take the Jinshi examination next year...
"
If Li Bai had accepted the reward directly, he would not have said these words.
Your own path, your own choice.
Since Li Bai now chooses to believe in him, he will also help support Li Bai.
Regardless of the fact that Jinshis who come from the Jinshi Department will basically be ninth-rank officials after passing the civil service examination, but with this background, their official career will be smooth sailing.
And Hanlin is waiting for the edict...,
They are said to be a gathering of literary men from all over the world, but that is just a literary man!
In addition, it is not difficult for Bai Gui to get rid of Li Ke and give Li Bai a clean life. The reason why he mentioned it to Li Longji now has profound meaning.
"Let the heroes kill people, and the grudges will be happy..."
"Bai Qing begged for mercy, and I granted this grace. I hope that next year's Jinshi exam... will have your name, Li Taibai."
Li Longji smiled and didn't mind doing a small favor.
"The common people thank His Majesty for your kindness, and thank Prime Minister Bai for his words..."
Li Bai looked excited and quickly thanked him.
As soon as Li Longji said these words, and relying on his own talent, as long as no big mistakes are made, the Jinshi Department will be stable. It can be said that a quota for the Jinshi Department has been determined by him.
"Wang Wei, the chief music minister of Taichang Temple, is good at music. Why don't we ask Wang Wei to come and compose music and perform it."
Bai Gui suggested.
This matter has nothing to do with official business.
Just a little interest.
Although there is no historical data to prove that Wang Wei and Li Bai were at odds with each other in history. However, Li Bai and Wang Wei's social circle highly overlapped, including Princess Yuzhen, Meng Haoran, etc., but the two had no contact. This is enough to prove that the two are definitely at odds.
"Li Guinian is good at singing."
"It is said that Wang Wei and Li Guinian met him and played this poem at the same time."
Li Longji also expressed interest.
The name "Emperor of Liyuan" is not for nothing.
After a while, Wang Wei and Li Guinian, who brought musical instruments, came to the holy driver and started composing music on the spot according to the great hunter's poem.
Two people compose music, and no one can wait around.
The emperor always brought his imperial cook with him when traveling, so he started cooking imperial meals on the spot.
Bai Gui was also sitting on one side with Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen, eating game and talking and laughing happily.
