Dark clouds are gathering and the rain is getting heavier and heavier. The whole book is 520.????
Fortunately, the officials arrived at Shangshi Tang before the heavy rain fell. Shangshi Tang is a soup pool specially used to reward servants or important ministers for taking a bath. Although there is the word "Shang" in it, it is not for imperial use. The palace is quite large, but the soup pool is not included. It is large, more than ten steps long and only a few steps wide. It is built of bluestone. There is a stone beam in the middle that divides the soup pool into east and west pools.
The west pool is slightly smaller, for those of high status to bathe alone, while the east pool is larger, for those of lower status to bathe together.
Xue Bai glanced at the increasingly dark sky outside the palace, turned around the screen, and began to take off his clothes together with the officials.
When everyone took off their clothes, the gap became clear. Everyone looked at Xue Bai's young and strong body with envy.
“Cough cough cough.” Yang Hua was coughing again.
Yang Guozhong whispered: "Do you know what is so good about this soup pool?"
Xue Bai didn’t think there was anything interesting and said, “Is it the gift of a saint, the glory?”
"You have learned how to speak. It's worth my trouble to teach you." Yang Guozhong said, "Besides, the spring water in the Neiyuan is the best. It is very different from other industries. It makes people's skin delicate and delicate." ."
Having said that, Xue Bai still prefers to soak in other businesses. But what Yang Guozhong said is indeed not a lie. The hot spring water in Shangshitang is the same as the one used by the emperor. It is the real Lishan hot spring water, steaming hot.
Everyone entered the soup pool and sighed comfortably. Yang Guozhong leaned on the bluestone and closed his eyes. What he enjoyed more was the satisfaction brought by the privilege. You must know that there are not many people in the world who can soak in this pool.
This means that he is a superior person.
Although Xue Bai's "glory" is correct, it is not accurate. To be precise, it is "honor".
The next moment, he heard Yang Shu say something in the small bath to the west:
“Abai, come here too.
“Thank you brother.“
Yang Guozhong opened his eyes and looked at Xue Bai's strong body walking towards the West Pond in the water and nitrogen box, talking to Yang Hua. The two of them had a small pond to themselves.
The feeling of dignity he felt just now faded away in an instant. Although he was a fourth-grade official, he was still overshadowed by others.
ˆˆNN
“Ahem, I heard that Abai plans to take up a post in Yanshi County?”
Yang Hua did feel a lot better after entering the Tangchi, and his coughing was relieved a lot, but there was a lot of worry in his eyes, and he said: "If you don't plan for me in Chang'an, how can all these things happen?"
Xue Bai didn't want to tell Yang the truth and said: "Brother is close to the prime minister. If Ge Nu is in trouble or even passes away, the next prime minister must be my brother. So, what I think we should do now is fighting or fighting." Take it easy?"
"Understood."
“It’s true to take good care of your body.” Xue Bai said: “I won’t pay too much attention to my brother if I’m not here. Let’s save for a year or two first and then compete with him.”
"In that case, you should also go to Taiyuan and worry more about the salt industry and how to get to Luoyang."
“Of course I have an errand that the saint cares about.”
Xue Baizheng was looking for an opportunity to talk to Yang about the matter and mobilize some of Yang's party resources, so he talked about the disasters in Henan Province in recent years and some situations of water transportation.
When talking about the Luoyang matter, Yang Hua didn't have much opinion. After all, the sage had not left Guanzhong for ten years, and the courtiers had no deep impression of the Eastern Capital.
"Tax ships and grain ships traveling from south to north have to be transported by water. If we want to get involved in this matter, Konu will never allow it."
"I'm just a county captain, Ge Nu won't care." Xue Bai said, "I'm not a land and sea transfer envoy from the fifth rank."
"Are you looking for this position?" Yang Hua's expression changed, and he held his long beard for a moment and asked: "Did you know that Da Xixun was demoted to Xianzhou Biejia because of his son's involvement? The saint was merciful and did not grant him death. .Full version????520.????"
Xue Bai knew that Li Longji didn’t want to make the assassination case a big deal. “Brother, you originally planned to fight for the civil service department?”
“It’s what Guozhong said. Chen Xilie is not doing anything, and it’s a good opportunity for the Minister of Civil Affairs to move.”
“That Genu will definitely be extremely vigilant and simply show weakness and demote Du Youni to leave the capital.”
It is said that it is a demotion, but there are two situations when being demoted and leaving the capital: being squeezed out of the core of power, or having a layer of seniority. Du Youlin's official rank has always been very high, and he cannot be promoted. What he lacks is seniority.
Just let Yang Guozhong fight for the official department to attract Li Linfu's attention, and then secretly cross to Chencang.
01
“You know, the hot spring water we soaked in today is not the best.”
In the pond to the east, Yang Guozhong was talking.
“It should be noted that the hot spring water of Shangshi Tang is drained from Xingchen Tang. It would be the greatest honor for a saint to bathe in Xingchen Tang first and then bathe in the hot spring water contaminated by the blessing of the emperor.”
With that said, Yang Guozhong swam to the edge of the stone beam and said to Yang in the West Pond: "Brother is very sick. If you can ask the saint to give you this soup, maybe all your illnesses will be gone?"
Yang Hua and Xue Bai stopped discussing.
"No, no." Yang Shu said: "As a minister, you must not cause trouble to the saint."
“Brother is truly loyal and loyal.”
Yang Guozhong just found an excuse to take a dip in the West Pond, so he just lay there and chatted. Then, he saw an opportunity and took the initiative to enter the West Pond.
They are brothers after all, so Yang wouldn’t blame him.
After soaking until the skin of the palms was a little wrinkled, Feng Shenwei came over and said with a smile: "Everyone feels comfortable after soaking. The saint has given you a banquet in the Bamboo Shoots Hall, please come."
ˆˆNN
Xue Bai thinks that the hot spring water is really good. It makes people feel their muscles and bones are strong after soaking in it. Unlike Yang Yuyao’s pool,
After soaking, it made him tired.
They put on their robes and went out of Shangshitang. The rain stopped outside. When the wind blew, Yang Hua started coughing again.
After passing through the road full of flowers and trees, and arriving at the Bamboo Shoots Hall, Feng Shenwei stopped by the door and invited the ministers to come in. When it was Xue Bai's turn, he whispered to Xue Bai.
At this time, the Holy Emperor has not yet arrived, so the ministers can still chat with each other.
I have not yet thanked Zhuangyuanlang for recommending me a part-time job."
As long as General Feng is not tired, Xue Bai responded. Because Feng Shenwei was appointed as the Zhongguan General, he was also called General Feng.
I’m a little tired.” Feng Shenwei also laughed and said, “But who thinks the salary is too much?
“The general is funny.“
As long as Xue Bai has a good relationship with this internal official, it will be more useful than arranging his own people in the newspaper office.
Feng Shenwei liked Xue Bai's sensibleness very much, and planned to reciprocate the favor, so he said: "I will introduce you to someone, let's see who...
Wu Huaishi, the general of the right prison gate guard, who also knows how to save troubles as a chamberlain, is with me under General Gao."
Xue Bai looked around and saw that Wu Huaishi was much younger than Feng Shenwei. He should not be an old minister when Li Longji was hiding in his residence.
Wu Huaishi’s father-in-law is named Lu Linghao, who is the magistrate of Yanshi County.”
Xue Bai was surprised and said: "So, my official position has been decided?"
"I don't know." Feng Shenwei smiled, "Are you surprised why eunuchs also have husbands? Well, Wu Huaishi had a maid in the palace and asked General Gao to support her grandpa."
The laws of the Tang Dynasty clearly stipulate that eunuchs who reach a certain level can have food with palace maids. For example, there are several palace people who have food with Gao Lishi. The whole version is 520.????
Feng Shenwei said this and waved to Wu Huaishi to come forward.
“Ashi, come and make friends with the Number One Scholar.”
Wu Huaishi also had a smiling face, which made people feel like they were in the spring breeze. After a little chat, he helped Xue Bai very considerately.
“If the scholar wants to go to Luoyang, could you please bring me some letters?”
“General Wu, it’s okay to say so.”
"Thank you very much. Then I will bring one letter to Zhou Xian, the magistrate of Luoyang County, one letter to the magistrate Lu County of Yanshi County, and one letter to Gao Chong, the Prime Minister of Yanshi County."
Xue Bai said: "It turns out that General Wu knows several of my officials. It's because I am grateful to General Wu for his help."
“The number one scholar is too polite. Apart from Lu Gong, Zhou Xian, Gao Chong and I are just acquaintances.”
“I wonder what’s the reason for this?”
"It's a long story. Gao Chong, the Prime Minister of Yanshi County, once served as an official in Huaizhou. At that time, the governor of Huaizhou admired a fugitive slave and wanted to recruit him into the shogunate. Gao Chong then made a sworn vow with the young man and accepted him into his army.
Later, Li Cishi and Luoyang County Magistrate Zhou Xian helped my father-in-law to be appointed as the county magistrate in Yanshi, and recommended Gao Shang to Beijing and asked me to arrange an official position for him. In short, this is how I got to know Zhou Xian
, Gao Chong."
Xue Bai said: "So, just because of his noble character, he attracted a governor, two county magistrates, a county magistrate, and a right prison guard general to seek an official position for him?"
“More than that.” Wu Huaishi smiled and said, “I brought this escaped slave to see General Gao. General Gao also admired him very much and found a position for him to join the army with Wei Cang Cao, the leader of the left army.”
"What a talent." Xue Bai asked: "I wonder where Gao Shang is now? I should also get to know him."
That's not all. Last year, didn't Fan Yang'an also come to Beijing? He saw Gao Shang and admired him greatly.
Please ask the imperial court to appoint him as Secretary of Pinglu, and he has been taken to Fan Yang."
Hearing this, Xue Bai remained calm and said: "Everyone who sees him will appreciate him. I think Gao Shang might be able to do something earth-shattering."
“How can the number one scholar be loved by everyone?” Wu Huaishi smiled affectionately.
After having a laugh and chatting, they agreed to carry a message for Wu Huaishi, and Xue Bai went into the Bamboo Palace to attend the banquet.
Before he arrived at Henan Prefecture, a net seemed to come down and pull him into the net.
And it was impossible for him to talk about these intricate relationships with Li Longji. Let's not talk about whether Li Longji cares. If he offended a close servant of the emperor like Wu Huaishi, it would be more troublesome than offending Li Linyu.
OA
In the Bamboo Shooting Hall, the palace maid lit up the lights, making it look very luxurious and warm.
With the arrival of the Holy Emperor, the royal case began.
I have seen the saint, and wish the saint peace."
“Haha, have you ever taken a dip in the hot springs? Sure enough, all the ministers looked much more energetic.”
Thank you, the saint, for your kindness.”
“We are all members of our own family, so don’t be constrained, just sit down.”
The purpose of tonight's imperial banquet is to appease the Yang family, so Li Longji brought Yang Yuhuan here.
Xue Bai's position was slightly behind him. When he saluted, he wanted to look at Yang Yuhuan, but he resisted.
There is nothing between them in the first place, but they are vaguely jealous. There is no need to cause trouble, but it is unnatural after all.
The assassination case has not happened for a long time, and the recent royal banquets have been quite satisfactory. There are no big tricks. They are just fine wine, delicious food, beautiful singing and dancing, and a new play arranged by Li Longji.
This play is called "Spring in the Moon Garden", and it tells the story of Li Sheng's dream of landing on the moon and meeting a fairy.
"Don't dream about looking at the moon alone. I don't have the opportunity to see Fangqing again, and I feel empty and melancholy."
The wind instruments kept playing, and Xue Bai knew that by the time he finished singing, Li Longji would definitely ask him to comment, so he had to think hard for his words.
Sure enough.
“What do you think, Xue Qing?”
“Tender and lingering, suddenly like a dream.” Xue Bai stood up and said, inexplicably feeling Yang Yuhuan’s eyes falling on him,
Then he continued: “The artistic conception is pure and elegant, which can be regarded as eternal.”
"How does it compare to the "White Snake" you arranged?" Li Longji said: "You are a pure minister and tell me the truth."
Xue Bai already had his words, but when he heard the next sentence, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
It would be very boring to give a banquet and have fun with the ministers. Li Longji had never done this before, but recently he was really targeting Xue Bai.
""Spring in the Moon Garden" is better in its artistic conception, elegance in singing, and better in arrangement... However, "The Legend of White Snake" carefully considers the words and phrases in the play, and it takes time to fill in the words. Although it is a bit more craftsmanship, it is better than
More poetry."
Li Longji asked again: "How did the actor sing?"
Xue Bai looked back at Xu Hezi, thinking rapidly in his mind, and finally responded: "I don't know the music, but I feel that in terms of singing, Xu Yongxin...is slightly better than the imperial concubine."
“Humph.” Yang Yuhuan reacted quickly and asked immediately: “What do Sanlang think?”
Li Longji smiled when he was asked this question. He stopped embarrassing Xue Bai, and instead pondered a little, and said with a smile: "Xue Bai's voice can understand anything. Of course, Taizhen sings well."
“I also want to sing the plays written by Sanlang.”
Yang Yuhuan couldn't help but ran down the steps and climbed onto the small stage.
She did not change her makeup and signaled Xue Qiongqiong to play the guzheng, then danced around and started singing. Xue Bai lowered his head to sip his wine and looked at Wu Huaishi, thinking about his official career and not looking at Yang Yuhuan.
In Henan Prefecture, Wu Huaishi only knew two county magistrates and one county magistrate? They happened to be in Yanshi County and the adjacent Luoyang County. It couldn't be such a coincidence. It can only mean that many officials in Henan Prefecture were paying filial piety to this eunuch.
The emperor does not manage government affairs, and Hanjiacang accounts for half of the world's food supply. How can we ensure that the officials do not raise their hands?
"Although Shuangpin seems to be in the current situation, Zhengnai Jiaobo ignores people. Yang Yuhuan sang to Li Sheng sighing at the moon, and suddenly changed the words.
Since she knew that her voice was not as high-pitched as Xu Hezi's, she changed her singing method to "The thin clouds make tricks, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man is far away in darkness."
Xue Bai was stunned when he heard this, and his thoughts were finally led back to the stage by Yang Yuhuan. He used the last two sentences of "Magpie Bridge Immortal" in the script of "The Legend of White Snake", and the first two sentences were only used in the Palace of Eternal Life.
I talked to Yang Yuhuan.
She suddenly used it at this time, probably for no other reason, but it was really inconvenient, so she took this opportunity to remind him "I have not forgotten your contribution"... maybe.
Perhaps he is just being sentimental, and it’s not a big deal if she just borrows the words he pronounces.
Xue Bai turned his head and glanced at the stage, and a graceful dance came into view.
He couldn't help but think that Luoyang would not have such a beautiful lady, but Luoyang had his ambition.
OA
Yang Yuhuan has finished dancing, but the royal banquet is still going on.
She was in a good mood. After drinking two more glasses, a reddish wine halo appeared on her cheeks. She smiled and said: "The beautiful scenery is beautiful on good days, and the wedding is like a dream. Let's have a different drinking experience."
“Haha, how do you want to play too really?”
“Give me a poem. My brother has no poetic talent. Let’s make things difficult for him. If you receive a poem from someone else at the banquet, you must give one in return, otherwise you will be punished by drinking three glasses of wine.”
"Okay, this is quite novel. Let me come first." Li Longji said, looking around at the ministers, and said with a smile: "I have given you the hot spring water, and I will use it to give you a poem. Everyone has to give something in return. a."
He is also very talented and can speak quickly.
The Guidian is connected with the mountains, and the orchid soup flows naturally.
“The cliffs are beautiful and the valleys are warm and gurgling.”
“The performance is evil, the merit is righteous.”
“I would like to say that the billions of trillions will be prosperous together.”
After reading a poem, everyone cheered. After that, everyone racked their brains to compose poems.
Xue Bai felt deeply when he heard the last line of Li Longji's poem, and recalled Tang Taizong's "Hot Spring Inscription". He picked up the wine glass, and was about to punish himself with three drinks, when he immediately realized that he had to reply to the saint's poem.
Fortunately, Wang Wei gave him several poems in praise of his virtues. Memorizing one of them can lift the atmosphere in the hall.
Yang Yuhuan pulled Zhang Yunrong over and said with a smile: "You go and dance, and I will give you a poem."
“The imperial concubine wrote a poem for me? Really?”
“You go and dance.”
“Here.“
Zhang Yunrong was overjoyed and ran into the palace after receiving the blessing. Because she was so excited, she almost kicked Xue Bai's desk when she walked around the palace attendants who were presenting their pens.
After she finished dancing, Yang Yuhuan pondered slightly and really gave her a poem.
The fragrant smell of Luo Xiu is moving, and the red canal is laughing in the autumn smoke."
“The wind is blowing on the Xixiu Ridge, and the water is blowing by the Hibiscus Pond.”
Everyone did not expect that Yang Yuhuan could really compose poetry, so they could not help but admire him and praised him one after another.
Zhang Yunrong was even more delighted.
But then, Yang Yuhuan said: "Okay, it's your turn to reply with a poem."
“I, my slave, cannot compose poetry.”
"No matter what, according to the rules at the banquet, if you can't reciprocate the poem, you can punish yourself with three drinks... Saint, look at it, she will go crazy when she is drunk."
"Ha ha."
Li Longji was already drunk because he had just received so many praises and praises that he had no choice but to get drunk.
Zhang Yunrong was in a dilemma. He looked around pitifully and saluted, "Slave, can you please ask someone to write for you?"
"But, you have to be willing to help you. Who do you want to find? Yongxin, come here."
I won’t help her.“
Zhang Yunrong had no choice but to turn his eyes and fall on Xue Bai. He bowed Yingying and put on a pitiful posture: "Master Zhuangyuan, can you help me?"
Xue Bai quickly waved his hand and refused, thinking that there was no need to get into such trouble.
He already knew Yang Yuhuan's attitude. It was nothing more than a reminder to him and he would need a reply later.
There is no need to write a poem about nodding, it will only increase suspicion... But then, Xue Bai thought of a way to avoid suspicion.
Seemingly unable to withstand Zhang Yunrong's constant pressure, Xue Bai finally composed a poem titled "A Dance for Zhang Yunrong".
“The small talisman hangs obliquely on the green cloud servant girl, and the light sweat slightly penetrates the blue sky.”
He seemed to be drunk, and he didn't care about the rules and spoke randomly.
“Colored threads lightly wrapped around the ruby arms, the beautiful lady…the beautiful lady chanted until this point. Xue Bai couldn’t finish the last sentence, so he shook his head and said with a bitter smile: “It doesn’t fit the rhyme, there is still one sentence left, I will punish you with a drink.”
He picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp. He was very happy. Yang Yuhuan also smiled. He had received Xue Bai's last poem in his heart. He had praised her on the stage.
“It takes a thousand years for a beautiful woman to meet.”
