After Sun Wu left, the banquet fell into silence. After a while, Cen Wenwen praised it: "This poem is really amazing! However, the county magistrate is so talented and beautiful, I really fall in love with you!"
Hearing this, everyone present dropped their heads.
Yang Fan is so talented and quick-thinking, who among the people here dares to disapprove?
Li Ke looked helpless.
The original plan to win over the support of the Jiangnan nobles through Sun Wu seemed to have failed.
However, there was not much blame in my heart.
After all, it was Sun Wu who started everything, so who can blame him?
Although Yang Fan did not give any face to Sun, Yang Fan did not do anything wrong.
More importantly, making friends with Yang Fan definitely has a better future than making friends with Sun.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little quiet, Li Ke quickly raised his glass and said: "Come on, come on, let's have a drink to celebrate my brother-in-law for such a masterpiece."
With Li Ke taking the lead, people who just wanted to see Yang Fan's joke immediately responded, and some people even kept toasting to Yang Fan, and the scene suddenly became lively.
Yang Fan shook his head slightly. Do you really think you can become friends after just one glass of wine?
What nonsense!
As the saying goes, people with different paths cannot conspire with each other.
I just wanted to laugh at myself, how could such a trendy person possibly have a deep friendship?
After drinking another glass of wine, Yang Fan stood up and said to the people waiting on the side: "I am very interested. How can I have wine without poetry? I will serve you with pen and ink!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. This guy still wants to compose poetry?
Li Ke trembled in his heart and said in a pleading tone: "Brother-in-law, this time I am mainly practicing for you, not writing poems, right?"
Although the Tang Dynasty was an era when poetry was prevalent, writing poetry at the wine table was also relatively popular.
But who knows if this guy Yang Fan will use his poems to scold anyone?
However, the Tang Dynasty was indeed an open era, with an extremely powerful country and a highly developed culture. They finally condensed the artistic method of rhythmic expression and created a group of talented poets.
Drinking tables and outings are the places where literati can best inspire creative inspiration.
Regardless of whether it is a place of pure cultivation or an entertainment garden with singing and dancing, there will always be poets pouring their talents into it.

As a religious carrier, Buddhist temples make it easier for people to understand life from the heart and burst out inspiration.
Ordinary literati come here to practice Zen and enlightenment with eminent monks, just to add fun to life.
Countless poets visited and met friends here, exchanged experiences, admired flowers together, recited poems to each other, or drank tea at the table, leaving many famous poems throughout the ages.
Buddhism was prevalent in the Tang Dynasty, and literati liked to direct their cultural appeals to temples with a strong Zen feel.
This is why the Tang Dynasty liked to entertain guests in temples.
When Yang Fan said that he would serve with pen and ink, before Li Ke could stop him, the monk who was serving him immediately turned around and left the hall.
After a short while, he took back a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Looking at the rice paper spread out on the eucalyptus table, Yang Fan held a brush in one hand and an inkstone full of ink in the other, waving his hands and writing a poem.
The red dust of Zimo is blowing in the face, and everyone wants to see the flowers return.
There are thousands of flowers and trees in Xingjiao Temple, all of which were planted after Yang Lang left.
A poem by Liu Yuxi that satirized the trend of the epidemic appeared on the paper.
Everyone stood up and gathered around.
But after seeing the poem, everyone was stunned and dumbfounded!
If the poem "Bo Qinhuai" just slapped Sun in the face, then this poem slaps everyone in the face, and it's the kind of slap that makes it swollen!
After all, just now most people wanted to see Yang Fan's joke, and now they are trying to please him, which really corresponds to the irony in the poem.
But Yang Fan wasn't done yet. He drank another glass of wine and turned around to come to a white wall.
Everyone was surprised, are you going to write a poem on the wall?
However, everyone was more afraid that Yang Fan would write some poem that would make them feel ashamed.
The monks on the side did not stop him. Xingjiao Temple is a holy place for Buddhism. If idlers want to write poems on the walls or other places, of course they are not allowed in the temple.
Without him, there are too many literati and poets coming and going every day. If anyone can splash ink when they feel like it, wouldn’t the temple walls have to be painted countless times every year?
Of course, Yang Fan is definitely an exception.
Not to mention that Yang Fan's current title and official position were all very prominent, but just by marrying two princesses and his status and reputation among the scholars, it was definitely a great honor for the temple to be able to write poems on the walls of Xingjiao Temple.
After all, temples also want to be better and bigger, which is like advertising for later generations.
As long as Yang Fan mentions the lyrics, there will definitely be literati and poets coming here to appreciate Yang Fan's poems and handwriting.
This is equivalent to a free promotion for Xingjiao Temple. Why would these monks not do it?
Of course, the most important thing is that Yang Fan's calligraphy is unique. Even if the quality of the poems is put aside, the handwriting alone is not something that Xingjiao Temple can refuse.
Yang Fan holds a pen in one hand and an inkstone in the other. He raises and lowers the pen. The letters are flying on the snow-white wall. The handwriting is like a silver hook stroke, and the pen moves like a dragon and a snake:
“If you have ears, don’t wash in the Yingchuan water; if you have a mouth, don’t eat Shouyang fern.
What's the use of being aloof and compared to the clouds and the moon, if you are a noble person with no name in this world?
Occupying my position, I observe that since ancient times, all the sages and sages have perished despite their success.
After occupying his position, Zixu abandoned the Wujiang River, and Qu Yuan finally fled to the Xiangshui River.
How can Lu Jixiong, who occupies a position, protect himself? It's not too early for Li Si to suffer the consequences of taxation.
Can you hear the chirping of cranes in Huating? What's the point of going to Cai Cangying?
If you don't see me, Zhang Han in Wuzhong is called Dasheng. The autumn wind suddenly reminds me of traveling east of the Yangtze River.
If you can enjoy a glass of wine while you are alive, why do you need to be famous for thousands of years after your death?
The journey is difficult, the journey is difficult, and there are many divergent paths, but now I am at peace.
There will be times when the wind blows and the waves break, and the clouds and sails are hung directly to help the sea.
Several of Li Bai's "Difficult Traveling" fused together appear on the wall.
The journey is difficult, the journey is difficult, and there are many divergent paths, but now I am safe...
Aren’t you all optimistic about my trip to Jiangnan this time?
I also know that there are many difficulties in going to the south of the Yangtze River this time, but as long as I am determined, there will be a day when there will be long winds and waves, and I will hang my sails directly across the sea.
Although the trip to the south of the Yangtze River is full of dangers and countless hardships and obstacles, if I am timid and afraid of difficulties, that is not my character, Yang Fan.
If a person encounters difficulties and does not fight hard, you will find that you will never appreciate the taste of success.
Of course, Yang Fan also used the ancients as a reference to illustrate that life is impermanent and nothing is smooth sailing!
If you always hesitate in the face of difficulties, don't know what to choose, and don't know where to go, how can you experience the joyful life of overcoming difficulties and obstacles and going through wind and waves?
How can we enjoy the ups and downs of life?
After finishing writing, Yang Fan drank all the wine on the side, bowed slightly to Li Ke and said apologetically: "I have done something shameless and ruined His Highness's elegance. Please make atonement for Your Highness!"
"In the future, if I lead a merchant ship in the south of the Yangtze River and sail across the four seas, I will definitely invite Your Highness to go and experience the ups and downs of riding the wind, waves, and the majestic and proud sea!"
"Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people who are determined, I am willing to overcome all difficulties for the sake of the empire, and I am willing to open up new territories for your majesty!"
"The banquet performed by His Highness, Wei Chen, will always be remembered in my heart. Wei Chen is drunk today, so let these people accompany you to drink tea. Wei Chen still has many things to prepare, so I'll take my leave now!"
After saying that, Yang Fan bowed deeply again and left with a roll of his sleeves!
And there is left a room of noble and self-proclaimed young men who are blushing and looking at each other!
This slap in the face hurts so much!
Doesn't this mean that they only want to have fun and have no ideals?
You Yang Fan went to the south of the Yangtze River for the sake of the empire, but here they are, indulgent in sex, drunkenness, and death. Doesn't it look like they are incompetent?
Niang Xipi!
You, Yang Fan, live your life in the sea of stars, are we just worms who only know how to enjoy themselves?
Cheng Huailiang's face turned red and he said awkwardly: "Ahem, County Lord Wannian has gone too far!"
Immediately afterwards, someone else yelled: "This Yang Fan is really a stick. We just reminded him with good intentions that it is not easy to achieve something in Jiangnan. This is a good intention. How can he curse others casually?"
"Yes! This person is too clueless! He thinks he can fly up the branches after marrying two princesses, stick or stick!"
Cheng Huailiang looked left and right, and said with some guilt: "Well...if this poem stays here, do you think the literati who come here and see this poem in the future will regard us as... A mediocre person who has no ambition and only cares about having fun?"
After saying this, everyone suddenly realized and shouted loudly: "Yes, this poem must not be left here, destroy it quickly!"
Everyone listen!
yes!
This poem is placed here. Anyone who has read it will look for the creative background of this poem.
Then won’t these people become the laughingstock of the ages?
It's okay to be scolded a few times, but Yang Fan wants to nail them to the wall of shame. He absolutely cannot bear it!
The leader was about to step forward and paint over the poem, but Cen Wenwen on the side stopped!
Destroy poetry?
What a joke!
This font, this poem, this spirit!
It is simply a once-in-a-century classic!
What's more, such a poem can inspire and warn people, and it is simply a famous poem through the ages.
Although it is likely to make them a laughing stock, it is definitely worth it as long as they know their shame and act bravely.
Seeing Cen Wenwen stopping him, everyone suddenly didn't know what to do.
After all, Cen Wenwen was the confidant of King Wu Li Ke, and no one present dared to offend him easily.
What's more important is that if Cen Wenwen takes one step further and enters the central government, he will definitely be the mainstay of the imperial court in the future.
Seeing that the scene was a bit chaotic, the monks on the side immediately stepped forward to stop them.
This poem is a rare treasure. How could these people destroy it so easily?
However, seeing the crowd getting excited, the monk quickly called all the young monks outside at the top of his lungs and blocked them in front of the wall!
As one of the most sacred Buddhist sites in Chang'an, Xingjiao Temple is visited by high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Except for the emperor, they are not afraid of these officials' children at all!
Looking at the poems on the wall, Li Ke recited each sentence silently, feeling the courage to move forward without fear of danger, feeling the open-mindedness of sailing through the wind and waves, and while his mind was shaking, his spirit was baptized!
He has always looked forward and backward, thinking that he has the blood of the previous dynasty and is out of reach for the throne.
Because it is too difficult. If you fail, you will immediately fall into the abyss of eternal destruction!
Now he has changed this concept,
As Yang Fan said, if you don't do it, you will never succeed. Even if the journey is difficult, you must keep moving forward.
There was endless noise in the hall. The monks of Xingjiao Temple stopped these dandies from destroying the poems, and the scene suddenly became deadlocked.
Cen Wenwen secretly looked at Li Ke with some guilt. After all, if His Highness King Wu gave the order, who would dare to stop him?
Fortunately, Li Ke had been in a daze, which made him relieved.
Silently looking at the poems on the wall, he took a deep breath for a long time and bowed to Li Ke: "Your Highness, this poem has profound meaning and inspires people to make progress. It is a rare and good poem and should not be underestimated! "
At this time, Li Ke came back to his senses. Looking at the people who were noisy and insisting on destroying the poem, he felt bored for a while and angrily said: "This poem makes people realize their shame and then become brave. What's wrong? You really let me down." !”
After saying that, he ignored the noisy crowd and left with Cen Wenwen.
Stepping outside the temple, the sun sets in the west and emits a dazzling glow.
Li Ke subconsciously paused and looked around, squinting slightly, feeling his heart suddenly brighten.
In the following days, a large number of materials from the Yang Mansion were gathered at Fangweishui Wharf, waiting to be shipped south.
At the same time, the accompanying disciples from various major families also rushed to Junyangfang to gather.
After undergoing simple training and formation, under the leadership of Su Dingfang, they will go all the way south to the magnificent Jiangnan to open up a "road to wealth"!
Also gathered together were the guards and special forces from Junyangfang.
Of course, more important are the technical personnel who mine coal.
As early as a few days ago, Yang Fan had already written to Xue Rengui in Jiangnan, asking him to secretly send someone to purchase the mine...
Although the mining in Datang was very backward, the utilization rate of coal mines was very low in ancient times. There were many mines suitable for open-pit mining in Jiangnan.
As long as he holds the mine in his hands, the Jiangnan nobles will not be able to choke him.
Just when Yang Fan was busy and exhausted, an unexpected but expected news made Yang Fan extremely shocked. A wave of anger rose from his dantian and could not be contained!
Some officials in the south of the Yangtze River actually contacted Wei Zheng. This old stubborn ass actually impeached him for taking the opportunity to buy and sell official positions. He was really a heinous person and should be postponed from going south.
This suggestion received an immediate response from Yushitai.
Of course, this is not what makes Yang Fan the most angry, but that Li Er didn't come out to explain, which makes Yang Fan a little unhappy.
After all, the money has been handed over, and His Majesty Li Er is just accepting the money and not doing anything!
A group of big men in the Ministry of Household Affairs even asked the emperor to confiscate Yang Fan's property.
For a time, the entire court was in quarrel and chaos.
However, these people didn't know that all the money had been donated to the emperor. The Ministry of Household Affairs wanted to confiscate Yang Fan's property to meet their urgent needs. Could Wei Zheng not know that the money had been confiscated?
You must know that this amount of money was not given directly to Li Er, but was recorded in the eucalyptus through the Menxia Province before it could enter His Majesty Li Er's inner treasury.
As the elder of the province, how could Wei Zheng not know where the money was going?
However, now that the Imperial Envoy, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Dali Temple are all involved, it is really a headache.
Looking at the documents issued by the Imperial Envoy and Dali Temple, Yang Fan felt like smoke was rising above his head!
He doesn't know what's going on? He only knows that this guy Li Er is simply too deceptive!
Of course, he didn't dare to go to Li Er to settle the score, but Wei Zheng, the executor, knew it well.
So in Yang Fan's opinion, Wei Zheng, the stubborn old donkey, is the most disgusting!
As the prime minister, he had the obligation to explain the whereabouts of Yang Fan's money.
You know clearly that the money was given to the emperor, but you still let us be impeached. You bully people without bullying them like this!
This old boy spends all day criticizing His Majesty Li Er. We admit that you are capable!
But you can't attack His Majesty Li Er indiscriminately.
I have provoked you, and I have given a huge sum of money and still have to be tried. How can there be any truth in the world?
For a moment, Yang Fan was furious!
