The poem "Yan Ge Xing" has been widely circulated. It is a satire on the generals who lightly opened the border and rushed forward to gain merit. The poem pointed out the shortcomings of the border policy. It can be seen that Gao Shi made a lot of effort to study the border war and was quite insightful at this time.
He admitted frankly that it was An Lushan who wrote the poem to ridicule, but Xue Bai was a little unsure whether this was the original intention of the poem, or whether Gao Shi deliberately catered to himself. Updated faster xs520.
ｏｏ Remember Quan~Ben~520 Reading If he deliberately catered to him, how could he be sure that he was dissatisfied with An Lushan?
“You are thirty-five years old!” Xue Baisui shouted with a straight face: “An Lushan is my nephew, how dare you write a poem to ridicule him?!”
Gao Shishi immediately bowed and was about to say more, but in the end he laughed.
"There is no need to scare me, Mr. Xue. Although my time in Chang'an was short, I happened to hear about the incident of you and General Wang breaking into the church."
Xue Bai then realized that his dislike of An Lushan could be seen by those who were interested.
He then asked: "Then you said that just to agree with me?"
Gao Shi smiled and said: "How could the poem I wrote ten years ago be in agreement with Xue Lang?"
These words were very wise, and several people in the hall couldn't help but laugh.
After laughing, Gao Shi's face gradually became serious again. He talked about his journey north to Youji in his early years and lamented the hardships of the Northeastern frontier army.
What he admired more was Li Yi, the king of Xin'an who swept across the Turks. He wrote poems and devoted them to Li Yi, hoping to work under his rule.
It's a pity that I didn't get a reply. I met Wang Zhihuan in Jimen and finally returned south disappointed.
Wang Zhihuan was also a poet that Xue Ri liked very much. Unfortunately, he is no longer alive. Gao Shi said that he couldn't help but sigh.
Then the topic changed and he talked about other experiences and friends, Li Bai, Du Fu, Zhang Xu, Li Yong, Zhang Jiugao...
It can be seen that those who come and go with Gao Shi are all famous people in the world.
This person is similar to Cen Shen, who has read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and is both civil and military. But he is less wild and wild as a young man, and more depressed and depressed as a middle-aged man. However, he is very different from Xue Bai.
There is something to say, starting from the frontier fortress and talking about the political situation, and then commenting on the characters and customs of each party.
Although Gao Shi has never been an official, he may not have enough experience to be able to act alone, but if he works in the shogunate, he will definitely be a very good assistant.
Xue Bai couldn't help but think, it would be great if he could be hired politely.
This matter is ridiculous when you think about it. If you want to hire Gao Shi as a screener, you must at least recommend him to a court title, that is, ask the court to appoint him as a minor official. Even if he is only a ninth-rank official, you have to give him a salary. Then he must first
It is a Fangjie town.
Looking at the ages of both parties, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Gao Shi to survive until then... But we can observe him for a while to see if he can be introduced to Wang Zhongsi.
With these thoughts in his mind, Gao Shi saw that he had finished talking and finally turned the topic to the main business he had come to do today.
“Zimei said that he could be selected for the Spring Festival of Tianbao Sixth Year, thanks to Xue Lang. I am also willing to participate in the Spring Festival of Tianbao Seventh Year. I wonder if I have the honor to be in the same year as Xue Lang.”
This is a self-deprecating sentence with a bit of joking meaning. Others have accomplished nothing in middle age and have become a bit worldly.
But in the end, I couldn’t completely let go of my body to please a boy with tied hair.
"Brother Gao also wants to participate in the Jinke Chun Siege?" Xue Bai pondered for a moment and asked, "Brother Gao just claimed to be from Hebei?"
“Yes, Bohai Gao family, I am now settled in Songzhou.”
Xue Bai shook his head more and more in his heart.
Humanity in Hebei, settled in Henan, in short, it is a Children of the cold gate of Kanto.
Gao Shi can be considered to have a good background. His grandfather Gao Kan captured the Turkic Chebi Khan alive, pacified Goguryeo, made great military exploits, was granted the title of Founding Duke of Pingyuan County, and was buried in Qianling, which revived the reputation of the Bohai Gao family.

But that was during the Taizong and Gaozong dynasties, and things are different now. The Gao family only had a military background, and if they had not moved to Guanlong to marry into the aristocratic family, the children would not make progress, and they would soon be gone and no one would care about them.
Moreover, Gao Shi also wrote a poem to satirize the great defeat in the 24th year of the Yuan Dynasty. The current emperor is considered very generous and did not get angry because of a poem. But at that time, Zhang Jiuling strongly advocated killing An Lushan, which made Li Longji unhappy.
, Gao Shi's position on this matter was obviously in opposition to the saint.
The most difficult person to pass the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty is this kind of person, no matter whether you are famous for your poems or talented.
Xue Bai knew it was impossible, so he simply said bluntly: "How about I introduce a few friends to Brother Gao? There are other paths that are more suitable for Brother Gao than taking the imperial examination to become an official."
Gao Shizhao was stunned for a moment, with various emotions in his eyes. Finally, he said seriously: "I want to try again."
"Why bother?"
"Although I am not talented, I was twenty-year-old Jie Shujian and traveled to Chang'an City in the west. I raised my head to look at the king's gate and bent my fingers to become a minister. I thought that I would be a minister just around the corner. In a blink of an eye, I am already forty and four years old. These years I have lived in seclusion in Songcheng, farming and studying.
Raised, but still...
I feel unwilling to do so."
“I understand Brother Gao.“
The man studied literature and martial arts, and aspired to conquer the world at home. Xue Bai understood too well that he did not let Gao Shi say any more, and said, "In two days, I will go to Uncle Yang to invest in a bank. Brother Gao, would you like to go with me?"
He was not sure that he could help Gao Shi get into the exam, but he was willing to give him a try. Gao Shi heard the words and looked at Xue Bai. His somewhat lonely eyes seemed to be gradually getting brighter, which was the light of progress.

In fact, Li Jiayou did not need Xue Bai's help to become a Jinshi. He was born in the east ancestral house of the Li family in Zhao County. He was ranked among the seventh and tenth families and had a distinguished reputation. His family background was rich, and he was talented, bold, and good at music. When he was young, He was quite talented and famous in Chang'an.
Not surprisingly, the chief examiner for Tianbao Seventh Year’s Spring Examination was Cui Qiao, the Minister of Rites, and Li Linfu, who was in charge of state affairs, could obviously decide on the final list. For these two, Li Jiayou had already submitted his papers and prepared them.
The reason why I came to visit Xue Bai was simply because my good friend Huang Yu praised him through letters and wanted to establish a good relationship.
Therefore, when Xue Bai was talking to Gao Shi, he would sit next to him and laugh, and occasionally say a few humorous words.
Li Jiayou was very courageous. He knew clearly that some of Xue Bai and Gao Shi's words were inappropriate, but he still dared to talk about them. Moreover, he dared to scold anyone. He also commented on the saint's request for Zhang Shou to worship the prime minister with the poem "Yan Ge Xing". The prime minister used by the saint.
Li Jiayou was insightful, talented, and loyal. He was a bit arrogant, but there were many arrogant people in the Tang Dynasty, so this was not a shortcoming.
After everyone talked, Li Jiayou was also in high spirits. He clasped his fists and said, "I hope I can be of the same age as Xue Lang."
Then he changed the topic to his favorite piece of music.
“Let’s not talk about these tricks for now. I heard that Xue Lang is rehearsing a play. When can I get a reward?”
Xue Bai said: "Looking at the time, maybe we can see you at the Qujiang Banquet after the Spring Festival?"
“Hahaha.” Li Jiayou said: “When the time comes, you and I will be named on the gold medal list and watch the opera in Quyuan, which will be two great joys in life.
Oh, Gao thirty-five and Mr. Dong reunited after a long separation. You and I hit it off like old friends, which is another great joy. Full version????????????.????"
The famous disciple smiled brightly, but Gao Shi was a little at a loss and fell silent.
Li Jiayou was enthusiastic, and then recommended Dong Tinglan to Xue Bai.
“Since Xue Lang is rehearsing an opera, I wonder if we need musicians? Mr. Dong is good at playing the piano and playing the piano, and his skills are famous in Chang’an.”
“Oh?” Xue Bai was very considerate and immediately introduced the opera he was going to rehearse and sang two lines a cappella.
Dong Tinglan originally disdained Xue Bai's opera, but when he heard the white voice, he frowned, but gradually, his expression also changed.
“Does Mr. Xue have a harp here? How about I play a piece of music to discuss it with Mr. Xue?”
“Okay, Mr. Dong, please come this way.”
The three of them moved forward. After walking for a while, they heard the sound of music in the distance, mixed with the sound of drums.
A look of shock finally appeared in Dong Tinglan's eyes.
He couldn't help but regret that he had spoken too much before coming here, such as "I have no intention of making progress, I just want to travel around the world, why bother asking a child to recommend me?" At this time, the old face was a little worried, so he alerted Li Jiayou, who was looking at him. He smiled narrowly; looking back at Gao Thirty-five, he was a much better person. He just patted Dong Tinglan on the forearm to show encouragement.
Of the three people who came today, Gao Shi hoped for Xue Bai's help the most, but Xue Bai could help him the least. Dong Tinglan was just the opposite. He didn't expect Xue Bai's help when he came, but in fact Xue Bai could help him the most.
The world is sometimes so difficult to fulfill people's wishes.

A few days later, in the newly built paper workshop in Quchifang, Xue Bai, Du Youlin, and Yuan Zai were walking and talking.
“The winter solstice is coming soon, and more and more people are going to Beijing to prepare for the exam. We plan to provide a house in Quchifang for poor scholars to study.
Yuan Zai was chatting eloquently, leading the two of them to walk towards the back.
After the paper mill, there is a printing mill, where carpenters are holding pear wood and carving it one by one for printing books.
Block printing is an existing craft in the world, but it has not yet become popular on a large scale. Presumably, with the promotion of bamboo paper, it will become popular faster.
Xue Bai would like to try movable type printing, but in terms of cost and necessity, it is not too necessary at the moment. For example, what they are printing now is a collection of annotations for poor scholars to prepare for the examination, which is the ancient review of the imperial examination scriptures. Insights and annotations of the article.
This is a key reason why the children of aristocratic families can surpass the poor. Then, when a large number of collection books are sent to the hands of the poor families, they will narrow the gap little by little and hope to stand out in the examination room. What the Yang Party is planning is such a political trend. prestige.
But if Yang Hua was too smart, he would not do this. With his status, it is easy for him to feel that there is no need to take big risks to win such future reputation, and that Xue Bai has evil intentions. According to common sense, this is indeed the case. After all, everyone You cannot predict what will happen next.
Fortunately, Yang Shu was not smart, but Yuan Zai was ambitious, and Du You was close to Xue Bai, pushing Yang Dang to embark on this crazy path.
"Anyone who expresses his willingness to serve us, these annotations can be distributed." Yuan Zai pointed to the books being printed, his eyes were sharp, and said: "There are still three or four months, enough for some poor scholars to publish articles. Furthermore, even if Chunwei fails to pass the exam, it will be very beneficial to our reputation.
Xue Bai picked up a printed copy of "Etiquette, Chapters and Meanings" and flipped through it, saying, "In my opinion, in this subject, three or five students from poor families should be allowed to go to high school, so that I can show my uncle's strength."
Yuan Zai said: "At most three, the imperial examination is ultimately controlled by Ge Nu."
Du Youlin said: "Since Yang Zhao is going to be appointed as Yushi Zhongcheng, he should do something."
"Let's discuss this matter with my uncle." Yuan Zai said slightly, not sure about letting Yang Zhao contribute: "On this matter, we have to reach a tacit understanding with the Right Prime Minister's Office."
"Can he reach a tacit understanding with us?" Du Youlin was quite doubtful. "That's Ge Nu, the most talented person in the wild."
Yuan Zaidao said: "I have considered that there are no virtuous people left in the field, and what Ge Nu is worried about is the advice of a poor family member to criticize the current ills.
The scholar in the grass revealed the opportunity at that time. It is not that he deliberately wants to suppress the poor family. He is jealous of talents and is more afraid of talented and famous people. If the quota of the children of the aristocratic family can be replaced by lonely scholars, he would be willing to see it. "
Du Youlin frowned and said, "If we want Ge Nu to give up a few places, what conditions should we give?"
How about letting Yang Zhao test this matter first?" Yuan Zai asked Xue Bai. Xue Bai nodded. It's okay to turn enemies into friends in the power arena, but there is no need to rush it. Wait until the uncle of the country touches him in what matter. Let’s talk about the slave’s interests later. “Xue Lang is thoughtful.” Yuan Zai said with a smile, “But there are already scholars you want to support?”
“Gao Shi, Gao thirty-five, Brother Yuan has heard of it.”
Yuan Zai had actually heard of Gao Shi. He was a little embarrassed. He pondered for a moment and asked, "How about introducing him to his father-in-law?"
“Don’t worry, let’s try the examination room first.”
"Ha." Yuan Zai laughed when he heard this and said, "Then I will make a bet with Xue Lang?"
“Don’t gamble.”
“Okay, then how does Xue Lang plan to help Gao Thirty-five get into the rankings?”
Xue Bai already had a rough plan and said: "First of all, we cannot introduce him to General Wang."
Yuan Zai suddenly realized what he said was such a nonsense, he clapped his hands and said: "I see, it's a good thing you didn't make a bet with me."

By the time of the winter month, part of the rural tribute had arrived in Chang'an along with the taxes escorted by the local government. In the brothels and restaurants, there were more voices of scholars gathering to discuss current affairs. The heavy snow did not cover up the prosperity of Chang'an.
Before the Spring Troubles, there were two major events for the court. One was that Gao Xianzhi, who had destroyed the Xiaobolu Kingdom, would return to the capital to offer himself as a prisoner, and the other was that Ge Shuhan and An Sishun, who had made great achievements in the Longyou battle, would also return to the court to report on their duties.
They were all barbarians, and they were generals of the Tang Dynasty. They were also some of the brightest generals in the six years of Tianbao.
Xue Bai is actually a little curious. Now that Li Linfu has recommended Ge Shuhan as the governor of Longyou, how will Li Linfu handle himself when Ge Shuhan returns to the court and faces Wang Zhongsi?
And the way he can point out for Gao Shi to make progress is simple, which is to get to know Ge Shuhan.
After all, the imperial examination was controlled by Li Linfu. If Gao Shi wanted to pass the exam, he must be favored by Li Linfu. Among the people favored by Li Linfu, Ge Shuhan was the most likely to appreciate Gao Shi. As far as he knew, Ge Shuhan should also be favored by Li Linfu.
Returning to Chang'an soon.
On this day, Xue Bai took Gao Shi to Qingmen Restaurant for a drink, saying that he was introducing him to a friend.
“I don’t know if Brother Gao already knows this friend. Among Brother Gao’s friends, is there anyone who is Tianbao Sanzai and ranks twenty-seventh among the brothers in the family?”
"Cen twenty-seven?" Gao Shishi even laughed, "Brother Wang has grown up, and Du Zimei is also a good friend with him. At the end of Kaiyuan, brother Wang told me about this little friend. In the third year of Tianbao, I roamed with Taibai and Zimei.
In Liang and Song Dynasties, I heard that he was in trouble at a young age and was outstanding at a young age. I should ask him for advice...
"You two will definitely become close friends." Xue Bai said firmly.
Gao Shi said: "Brother Wang, Du Zimei said so."
“Xue Lang!”
While talking, Cen Shen had already entered the restaurant and Xue Bai raised his hand to say hello. He thought that today he would be able to introduce "Gao Cen" in person. This ordinary scene would probably become a good story in the poetry world in the future. They should leave their poetic talents behind.
OK.
“It’s rare that Mr. Xue invites me to drink.”
“Introduce you to a confidant who is as knowledgeable about local affairs as you are.”
At this time, a big man who was drinking alone in the restaurant heard the word "side affairs" and turned back to look at the three people. He chuckled and shook his head, as if he disdained these boastful people.
This big man is from the Western Regions. He is in his forties, tall and majestic, with a high nose and deep eyes, curly beard and hair, and a fierce look. He had drunk enough wine, called the waiter, and asked: "Can your beauty stay here?"
This is a small restaurant. If you want to stay, go to Pingkangfang and walk along the wall.
This big man from the Western Regions is not garrulous. He dropped his drink money and walked into the cold wind. He still wore his outer robe and was not afraid of the cold at all.
He was well-dressed, but he had a big purse hanging around his waist.
Two rogue men on the street corner happened to see him. They immediately called six companions to follow him. When the big man entered the alley, eight people immediately surrounded him, and screams rang out in the alley.
“My purse.
But it was this big man from the Western Region who knocked down eight people in a moment, grabbed their purses, patted the leader on the face, and asked: "Pingkangfang is too far away, where can I stay?"
This rogue leader is a young man named Cao Buzheng. At this time, he rolled his eyes and said: "My sister is Ke Yansu, she is so beautiful."
“Okay, take me to your house.”
Cao Buzheng agreed repeatedly, but in his heart he had misguided ideas.
He has a sister named Cao Buzhe. She is plain in appearance and has a very fierce temperament. In fact, she is the real leader of their gang of scoundrels. I think she will be able to use wine to bring this evil man home.
The medicine overturned him.
The dusk drums in Chang'an City have sounded, and night has fallen. The big man from the Western Regions followed Cao Buzheng into a small house in Kaimingfang.
Sure enough, there was a girl who was drinking in the courtyard. She was not afraid when she saw him and teased him with a smile.
"Where are you from? You're a bastard, but you're a strong man. If you drink with me and make me drunk, I won't charge you any money."
“Okay!” The big man from the Western Regions said he would do it.

Yongningfang, Geshuhan's house, lobby.
The tall and exaggerated Guan Chongsi was sitting there, looking down at Cang Bi, the steward of the Prime Minister's Palace.
Cang Bi does have the aura of being in charge of the prime minister's office, and he has no worries about this big man who kills people without blinking an eye. They all know by looking at his nose and his heart that today is Ge Shuhan's return to the capital, and he plans to invite him to his master's house.
Wang Zhongsi obviously shouldn't be like this, but it can be seen from this incident that he cares more about the situation in Longyou and the condition of his soldiers than he cares about his own life and death.
However, all the soldiers and subordinates have arrived at the mansion, but Geshuhan himself has disappeared.
Guan Chongsi and Cangbi knew that Geshuhan was avoiding them and insisted on waiting. Unexpectedly, he actually waited until dawn the next day, when the saint issued an order to summon Geshuhan.
“Where is General Geshu?”
"have no idea."
:
It was not until noon that everyone who was so busy looking for Ge Shuhan received the news that this general who had just made great achievements was taken to Chang'an County Yamen at dawn for robbing civilian girls in Kaimingfang.
