Gao Qiu was sentenced by the governor of Kaifeng to be expelled from Bianliang and never allowed to enter the country. After being beaten with a stick by the government officials, he was expelled from Bianliang City. Gao Qiu looked at the splendid and prosperous Bianliang City, and recalled the beautiful days of wanton debauchery in Bianliang City, but he could not enter the city, and his heart was extremely painful. In desperation, Gao Qiu could only do the next best thing, wandering in the countryside outside Bianliang City, passing his desolate days by helping wealthy families.
Gao Qiu lived like this for about three years, and then he encountered a severe drought not seen in a century. The sun was blazing, the weather continued to be hot, and there was no rain for several months. The land was dry and cracked, and the crops failed. The people's lives were seriously affected. difficulty.
Disasters from various places were constantly reported to the palace. When Emperor Zhezong heard the report, he was so anxious that he personally led hundreds of officials to pray for rain in the southern suburbs. Emperor Zhezong's piety moved the Thunder God, Lightning Mother, Fengpo Dragon King, and the gods were kind-hearted and rained heavily for more than ten days. All things were nourished and the prosperity returned.
Emperor Zhezong was grateful for God's will, extended his mercy, and granted amnesty to the whole world. As a result, Gao Qiu was able to return to Tokyo.
Gao Qiu came to Tokyo again and was recommended to work in the residence of the great scholar Su Shi. He served as a secretary to the great scholar Su Shi and spent the whole day copying and organizing texts.
Su Shi was the greatest literary figure in the Northern Song Dynasty. His ancestral home was Sichuan. He was good at food, drink, calligraphy, and writing. Most of all, he was the best in poetry, calligraphy, and painting. He was unparalleled in the literary world. His only regret was that he could not play Ju.
It is for this reason that Su Shi did not find that Gao Qiu was not only good at reciting poems, calligraphy and calligraphy, but also was good at "ju". Therefore, he only treated Gao Qiu as an ordinary person, but treated him more seriously. Gao Qiu's previous employer was just a little better.
Later, Su Shi heard that Gao Qiu had a bad reputation and was once a scoundrel. Su Shi thought to himself, I am a great scholar in Hongxue. My poetry, calligraphy and painting are unparalleled in the world. Everyone in the world admires me. I have Gao Qiu in my house. People in the world thought that I admire Gao Qiu. In this way, I am not harmonious. Is Gao Qiu a piece of shit? This is absolutely not possible. I can't let Gao Qiu insult my reputation. Do I have to send him away?
Where to send Gao Qiu? Su Shi thought about it and thought of his close friend Wang Qian, and planned to send Gao Qiu to Wang Wangqian's place to help him.
Who is Wang Qian?
It is said that this Wang Qian came from a famous family. He was good at literature and martial arts. The most important thing is that Wang Qian is not very motivated and is a very romantic person.
During the reign of Emperor Yingzong, he recruited him as his consort and married his second daughter, Princess Baoan.
Wang Qian had such a noble status, but he did not know how to respect himself. Outside, he made friends with Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fu, Qin Guan and many other literati, and he was artful. Inside, he did not stick to trivial matters, and together with his concubines and maids, he did evil things in front of the princess. , is very wanton and often instigates the concubine to offend the princess.
Affected by Su Shi's "Wutai Poetry Case", Wang Qian was dismissed from his post for investigation and demoted to a minor official in another place.
At this time, Princess Baoan also became ill because she was angry with Wang Qian and held grudges in her heart, and her condition gradually worsened.
When Queen Mother Xuanren heard that her daughter was seriously ill, she came to visit her husband in person. When she saw that her daughter was unconscious, she was so sad that she burst into tears.
The seriously ill princess was able to speak a little, and said intermittently to the Queen Mother Xuanren: "Mother, I will definitely get better and get better. Please take care of yourself."
While talking, the princess also forced herself to half-sit down, holding Queen Mother Xuanren's hand and crying, feeling very pitiful. Seeing this scene, Queen Mother Xuanren felt even more uncomfortable.
Emperor Shenzong of the current dynasty heard that his sister was seriously ill and came to see her. He personally diagnosed the princess's pulse and fed her porridge. The princess reluctantly ate for the emperor.
When Shenzong saw that his sister was on her deathbed, he was extremely sad and asked her if she had any other requests.
The princess looked at Shenzong and said with tears in her eyes: "Brother is here, my sister is here. I have nothing to ask for. I only ask for one thing. I wish you all the best."
Shenzong shed tears, held the girl's hand tightly, and said hurriedly: "The emperor sister, as long as the emperor sister invites you, the emperor brother has no objection."
The princess struggled to fight off her illness and said: "Brother, your Majesty, Wang Gong and I are husband and wife. I only hope that I can return to Wang Gong's official position."
At this time, Princess Baoan is still worried about Wang Qian, who is not doing his job properly, acting recklessly, and is ruthless and unjust. How sad! When Emperor Shenzong heard this, he was very sad and resentful of Wang Qian. However, in order to comfort his sister, he ordered Wang Qian to be reinstated.
On the second day after Wang Qian returned to office, the princess died.
How could a guy like Wang Qian be such a good person?
Let’s talk about Su Shi, whom he dated. His official position was not that of an admonisher, and his position was not that of a censor. He was often in a “sideline” position, so he was full of complaints. This was not right, and that was not right. He was not reused in the court, so he was full of complaints. He fell in love with poetry, calligraphy and painting, and his relationship with Wang Qian was so good that he wished he could wear a pair of trousers. They often exchanged experiences together about playing with things and losing one's spirit. If not, Su Shi would be unlucky and Wang Qian would be punished? !
In other words, Su Shi met Emperor Shenzong, who cherished talents and loved them. Moreover, Emperor Renzong once said that he had obtained two good prime ministers for future generations, referring to Su Shi and his younger brother Su Che. Therefore, it was considered a blessing in Su Shi's life, although he was not expected to see him in the future. The imperial court finally saved his life, allowing him to indulge in landscapes and write beautiful articles that will shine on future generations.
Because Wang Qian was also a man of letters, he could write some romantic things, and he had a good relationship with Su Shi. Therefore, when Su Shi threw Gao Qiu out as a pot, he thought of Wang Qian and recommended Gao Qiu to Wang Qian.
Unfortunately, Gao Qiu's life was so good that no one could see him. Everyone tried to dump him as a blame, but the more he was dumped, the smoother he got and the higher he climbed.
Because Gao Qiu was recommended by his good friend Su Shi, Wang Qiu treated Gao Qiu very well. When Gao Qiu came to Wang Qiu's house, he only did some help and lived a comfortable life.
One day, Captain Wang Qian was celebrating his birthday the next day, so he ordered the palace to arrange a banquet, and then sent someone to Prince Duan's Mansion to specially invite his brother-in-law, Prince Duan Zhao Ji, to come to the banquet.
The person sent by Wang Qian to invite King Duan was Gao Qiu, who had just arrived.
Following Wang Qian's order, Gao Qiu hurriedly walked all the way to Prince Duan's Mansion with the invitation in his arms. He saw Prince Duan wearing a soft gauze Tang scarf on his head, a purple embroidered dragon robe, a pair of civil and military tassels tied around his waist, and an embroidered dragon. The front of the robe is pulled up and tied at the edge of the strip, and the feet are worn with a pair of flying phoenix boots inlaid with gold thread, accompanied by three or five small yellow doors to kick balloons.
King Duan was having a great time, jumping around, shouting and forgetting everything. Seeing that King Duan was in high spirits, Gao Qiu did not dare to rush over, so he stood behind the bystanders, waiting for King Duan to kick the balloon so that he could deliver the invitation from Captain Wang Dong's consort to King Duan.
Gao Qiu was destined to meet a noble man, and he was expected to be a traitorous minister. At this moment, fortune turned, and the balloon kicked by King Duan rose into the air. King Duan did not catch it, but rolled straight away from the crowd. Go to Gao Qiu.
Gao Qiu, who was standing behind the crowd, saw the balloon flying towards him. It was a moment of courage, and it was also a conditioned reflex after getting used to kicking balloons. Anyway, when he saw the balloon flying towards him, Gao Qiu did a "mandarin duck kick" on the spot. Once, kick the balloon back to King Duan.
With just this kick, the little gangster Gao Qiu never expected that he would have a bright future in life.
King Duan was kicking a balloon with some Xiaohuangmen. The balloon got so angry that it dared to disobey King Duan's command and fly into the crowd.
King Duan, who was feeling frustrated for not being able to catch the balloon, suddenly saw a man in the crowd using a beautiful mandarin duck kick to kick the balloon back to him. His movements were simply amazing, he was moving and leaping, light and elegant, There is an air of immortality.
When King Duan saw this, he was overjoyed and shouted: "What a kick!" Then he kicked the balloon at the small yellow door and asked Gao Qiu, "Who are you? I, King Duan, have never seen you before?"
When Gao Qiu saw the question, he hurried forward, knelt down on the ground with a "pop", kowtowed three times, and replied loudly: "In response to what Prince Duan said, the younger one is personally attached to the palace of Wang Duwei, Shou Du." The envoys are sent to send invitations to Prince Duan. The young one is here to pay his respects."
As he spoke, Gao Qiu raised his hands above his head and respectfully handed the invitation to King Duan.
Prince Duan stretched out his hand to take the invitation. After reading it, he smiled and said, "It turns out that tomorrow is my uncle's birthday. I will definitely go there."
King Duan handed the invitation to his entourage and collected it, and said kindly to Gao Qiu: "Get up. I want to ask you about your situation."
Gao Qiu heard the sound, got up, bowed to King Duan again, and said, "I'm so rude to you."
King Duan ignored the invitation and asked Gao Qiu with a smile: "So you can also kick balloons?"
Gao Qiu thought to himself: "Look at what Prince Duan said, how can someone know how to kick? He is quite good at kicking." But he said, "As for Prince Duan, the kid just played casually and made Prince Duan laugh."
You can play so well no matter how you play, how much better would you be if you don't play casually? King Duan was not surprised when he heard this, but was even more happy and asked Gao Qiu: "What are you calling me for?"
Gao Qiu replied: "The small one is called Gao Qiu. Gao means Gao Qiu's height, and Qiu means Gao Qiu's Qiu."
King Duan laughed when he heard this and said: "Okay, Gao Qiu, Gao Qiu's high, Gao Qiu's Qiu. Come on, come on, come down and play some fun."
Hearing this, Gao Qiu was pleasantly surprised. He quickly bowed to King Duan and said in a low voice: "What kind of person are you, young man, who dares to mess with King En? Don't dare, don't dare, absolutely don't dare."
Duan Wang said: "This is Qiyun Club, called Tianxia Garden. When the balloon is kicked, there is nothing that Duan Wang does not Duan Wang. You just go down and kick. But there is no harm in kicking."
Gao Qiu bowed again and again: "I don't dare, I don't dare, I don't dare."
Gao Qiu said goodbye three times and five times. King Duan insisted on kicking him, so Gao Qiu had to kowtow to apologize and get off the court.
King Duan asked Xiao Huangmen to send out balloons, and the balloons flew towards Gao Qiu.
Gao Qiu stopped the ball with his chest and kicked it up with his feet. The balloon stuck to his body like swim bladder glue.
In order to show his ability, the golf ball used all the skills he had accumulated in his life and kicked the balloon out of sight. King Duan was dazzled and ecstatic. He was so happy to see Gao Qiu that he felt like he was meeting his ancestors.
On the same day, Gao Qiu said goodbye and wanted to go back. King Duan was reluctant to leave. He personally escorted Gao Qiu to the door of Prince Duan's palace. He watched Gao Qiu go away helplessly. Only when Gao Qiu was no longer visible did he reluctantly turn around and return to the palace.
