If the ugly old man in front of me is Ouyang Xun, one of the four great masters of the early Tang Dynasty.
Then this guy is a big historical celebrity.
Do you want to ask him to sign an autograph?
Suddenly Yang Fan's thoughts ran far away.
Ouyang Xun, courtesy name Xinben, was born in Linxiang, Tanzhou. His father was He, and he was the governor of Chen Guangzhou. He was executed for treason. people.
This means that Ouyang Xun's father, Ouyang He, was a governor. He rebelled and was defeated and captured. Only Ouyang Xun in the family was spared because he escaped, and the rest were killed.
Afterwards, due to the death of the Empress Dowager, a general amnesty was issued, and Ouyang Xun was spared from death. After escaping from death, Ouyang Xun was adopted by Mr. Jiang, his father's friend during his lifetime.
And "ugly and ugly" is actually a model of "I'm ugly but I'm smart".
Historically, Ouyang Xun had a close friendship with Li Yuan, and was awarded the position of Shizhong by Li Shimin, and was promoted to the crown prince.
Considering his official position and appearance, he is probably Ouyang Xun, who is known as one of the four great masters of the early Tang Dynasty!
According to historical records, when Changsun Wuji first met Ouyang Xun, he also laughed at him: "He hunches his arms like a mountain, burying his shoulders and fearing to stand out. Who would have said that there is a monkey like this painted on Lin Pavilion."
Regarding this poem, Yang Fan applauded it with both hands. It was so appropriate.
For the first time, I felt that Changsun Wuji was quite reliable.
Seeing Yang Fan staring at him with a strange look on his face, the ugly old man didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Do you think I'm ugly?"
If ordinary people heard this, they would definitely deny it, or even say a few decent words.
Because people in ancient times liked to pretend to be gentlemen!
It's a pity that Yang Fan doesn't like those twists and turns, even though the ugly old man in front of him is one of the four great masters in the early Tang Dynasty.
You can't flatter someone just because they are a celebrity.
That goes against your own will!
So he said seriously: "It is indeed ugly, but as a human being, as long as the breasts are beautiful, people will look at her with admiration."
Ouyang Xun didn't expect Yang Fan to be so frank. He choked and his face became a little hot.
Shouldn't young people respect the elderly and love the young and be polite?
It is simply a lack of martial ethics.
For a moment I didn’t know what to say.
It's so unexpected, can't it be more tactful?
I'm ugly but I'm gentle!
Ouyang Xun wept silently. Yang Fan was the first young man who dared to call him ugly in front of him.
At this time, Li Shimin had also finished reading the memorial. When he heard this, he stroked his forehead and was speechless. He turned to Ouyang Xun and said, "Don't pay attention to this guy. He is a stick. He can make people angry to death with just one mouth." Sometimes even I dare to tease you!"
After being praised by Li Shimin, Yang Fan touched his nose and said to himself that His Majesty Li Er was indeed a confidant.
You ancients always like to praise me, so what’s the point?
If you want to praise such an ugly person for his majestic and handsome appearance, isn't this making people lie?
Besides, if he said that, wouldn't Ouyang Xun blush?
As a modern young man with five talents, Yang Fan will certainly not join the trend.
Ouyang Xun was not angry at all. Instead, he said with a smile: "I have heard that Uncle Zhongyi is both civilized and martial. Not only is he great at writing poems, he is also a master in calligraphy. My good friend Chu Suiliang has boasted in front of me more than once that you pioneered You are a pioneer in calligraphy, why don't you show off your skills and open my eyes?"
Yang Fan was a little surprised. The ugly old man still held a grudge.
Isn't it embarrassing for us to show off our calligraphy skills in front of you, a master of calligraphy?
Yang Fan smiled slightly: "How dare you? How dare you, a calligrapher like you, dare to do whatever you want to do?"
When speaking, Yang Fan smiled innocently, really like the humble gesture of a student in front of the teacher, which came from the heart.
Although this old man looks ugly, his good calligraphy has been passed down for thousands of years.
Seeing the two people complimenting each other, Li Shimin felt a little ashamed. He waved his hands and frowned and said: "We will talk about these later. I will tell you in the memorial that Tubo sent envoys to ask for me, the Princess of the Tang Dynasty. You guys have to deal with this matter." What do you think?"
Marriage?
Tubo Songtsen Gampo married Princess Wencheng, which was passed down as a legend by later generations.
It is believed that this was a great marriage that brought peace to Tang and Tibet and contributed to cultural exchanges between the two countries.
It is difficult for Yang Fan to agree with this statement.
Now that Li Shimin asked about the marriage, Yang Fan couldn't bear to use women as bargaining chips. He said directly: "Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate. What is a marriage? It is an attempt to use women to exchange for peace. This is simply unrealistic. , not taken by the wise.”
After hearing Yang Fan's words, Ouyang Xun immediately retorted: "Uncle Zhongyi, these are ignorant words. If heard by knowledgeable people, they will laugh out loud. The marriage policy is the Central Plains Dynasty's soft policy to deal with foreign Tibet."
"The marriage policy first started during the period of King Xiang of Zhou Dynasty. King Zhou Xiang was preparing to attack the State of Zheng, so he married Lady Di as his queen and joined forces with Rong Di soldiers to attack the State of Zheng. Peace and marriage is the best political method. Through marriage, the border can be exchanged. Peace can protect the people on the border from being harassed and let the soldiers bleed. The policy of reconciliation can bring about a period of peace, allowing the country to cultivate and recuperate, strengthen its troops, and make the country truly strong."
As soon as Ouyang Xun finished speaking, Li Shimin nodded and praised: "As you said in the matter, this is the real purpose of the marriage. It's just that letting the princess marry is a bit..."
Before Li Shimin could finish speaking, Yang Fan sneered: "A marriage marriage is nothing more than begging for the weak. Our Tang Dynasty is at the height of its military power, why should we suffer this humiliation? Besides, has a marriage marriage ever brought true peace? It’s just the other party’s intensified plunder, whether it’s economic or cultural.”
Ou Yangxun sneered and said: "Master Yang, you are still young. Maybe you are a little talented in reciting poems and writing poems, or even extraordinary, but in politics, after all, you are still a little immature, even too naive."
"Is the Han Dynasty strong? Chen Tang, the famous general of the Western Han Dynasty, once mentioned that those who offend our powerful Han Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are. However, the Han Dynasty has always pursued the strategy of peace and marriage from the beginning to the end. Could it be that the emperor and ministers of the Han Dynasty Are you a fool? You said that marriage cannot bring real peace, but Zhaojun went out to the frontier and brought fifty years of peace to the Han people. How can you explain this?"
"Besides, children who live in an emperor's family should have the responsibility to sacrifice themselves for the country. It is a supreme honor for a daughter to shoulder the burden of marriage. Otherwise, wars will break out, and many men will be killed on the battlefield. How many men will be killed in the battlefield. Are the people weeping bitterly?"
His Majesty Li Er nodded silently.
"Coward!" Yang Fan sneered and said with disdain.
I originally respected him as a literary master, but I didn't expect him to be so ignorant and pedantic.
Ouyang Xun was stunned!
I saw Yang Fan smiling and saying: "If these battlefield athletes can imitate Ouyang Shizhong, then just raise the flag and surrender!"
