"Li Marshal, there is no need to be polite! You are really busy. You were so busy that you didn't even bother to greet His Royal Highness Prince Zheng. Now you finally show up." Zhang Zi exhaled a thick breath from his nose and said gloomily. .
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he rubbed his hands together and smiled with a sincere expression: "As a military commander in Wuping, and the war is intensified, how can I not be busy when it is related to the great plans of the country? Look at Zhang Sheren. Having said that, I feel a little ashamed to teach you! Alas, it seems that Zhang Sheren has not let go of what happened during the day. I came here specially to explain the matter in addition to paying homage to His Highness Prince Zheng.
I just came back from Xizhou's headquarters yesterday. First I bumped into a group of forbidden troops in front of the Jiedu Envoy Office. At that time, I heard that His Highness King Zheng was coming, and I still didn't believe it!
I thought that this group of people were thieves who came out of nowhere and came here to deceive me. This is because I have never seen such eccentric people. They dared to set up roadblocks and put on airs in front of my own door. They insulted our Langzhou soldiers and civilians everywhere, and they had to be stopped by the soldiers around them. Otherwise, according to my commander's temper, their heads would have fallen to the ground! ..."
"How dare you!" Zhang Zi's eyes widened, and he couldn't understand the strangeness in Li Yuan's words. When he was about to continue speaking, he was stopped in time by Zhou Xingfeng, who was sullen and silent.
The reactions of the two were as expected. Li Yuan blinked his eyes, but continued to smile in a relaxed manner: "Didn't I take action? I later discovered that they were really His Highness's bodyguards, and the ones under my command were... Some civil and military officials did not know why, but they did not inform me in advance, and this led to a misunderstanding! Tell me, such a big event was not reported in advance. Isn't this a deliberate attempt to harm me? I was so angry that I directly guarded the east gate. The general will be chopped off...
After learning that His Highness came to work in the army, my commander-in-chief and everyone in Wu Ping were truly grateful to His Majesty for his kindness and His tireless efforts! The war in Yiyang is tense right now. If His Highness can go to work for the army, the morale will be greatly boosted! And His Highness is indeed His Majesty Houyin, willing to lead the army to the front line. I believe the soldiers in Yiyang are eagerly awaiting the rain! "
Seeing Li Yuan talk about the previous events lightly, Zhang Zi was filled with anger. However, because Li Yuan was about to go to Yiyang to work for the army again, it seemed logical. He had to swallow his bitterness and said coldly: "Your Highness is so noble. , this time we have traveled thousands of miles and come to work with the emperor's orders. It is natural that the soldiers are eagerly looking forward to it! But why do you think that Marshal Li is not like this? Why didn't you come to greet His Highness when he entered the city? Don't you, Marshal Li, even have the dignity to do so? Are there no distinctions between etiquette and law?"
"The First Clan"
It seems that Zhang Zi can only hold on to this matter at this time, and has no other words to accuse him. Li Yuan was secretly amused in his heart, but put on an innocent look on his face, and said: "Hey, Zhang Sheren Why are you mentioning this again! Didn't you just say that I am really busy with military affairs! After learning that His Highness wanted to enter the city at night, how dare I neglect it according to the court etiquette?
I can only put aside military affairs for the time being and make arrangements for your stay. However, before the arrangements were completed, His Highness's car has arrived. I have no choice but to let the generals go to greet them. Although it is not in line with etiquette, His Highness is already exhausted from the long journey. , we can’t keep him waiting for a long time, right? Zhang Sheren, are you right? It would be bad if you hurt His Highness..."
"Yes..." Zhang Zijing couldn't help but answered with his eyes straightened. Then he suddenly came back to his senses and said angrily: "No, you..." Immediately afterwards, it felt like his throat was being pinched. I felt so stuck that I didn't know how to respond.
Zhou Xingfeng, who was on the side, suddenly felt ashamed to be with Zhang Zi's funny reaction. He moved silently, and after opening a little distance, he held up his hands and smiled at Li Yuandan: "That's it! Marshal Li is really interested!" Your Highness has worked hard all the way and deserves a good rest! We are in the middle of a war right now, so please forgive me for disturbing the commander-in-chief!"
Li Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, you are being ridiculous when you say these things! We are all citizens of the Tang Dynasty. I am really grateful that Your Highness condescends to come to our Langzhou to convey His Majesty's decree. How dare I mention it?" And the word naonuo?
In short, I am really happy to see you two now. By the way, I wonder if His Highness has gone to bed? When I came all the way just now, the sergeants accompanying me were all talking, saying, His Royal Highness King Zheng is the blessed man of Langzhou! "
Zhang Zi frowned inexplicably and said: "What kind of blessed person? What do you mean by this?"
Li Yuan suddenly became serious, pointed his finger to the sky and said in a deep voice: "Isn't this what it is? You see, His Highness brought a happy rain to the people of Langzhou when he arrived! Strange to say, Chu Land is a place with abundant rain. In the past two months, it has rained no more than four or five times in Kelangzhou. All officials and people are worried that there will be a drought this year!
But I didn’t expect His Highness to bring us rain. What are we, if not the blessed people of Langzhou? Even God was moved to tears! By the way, when I was waiting here just now, I was so happy to enjoy the rain that I couldn't help but become very literary and wrote a poem! "
Zhou Xingfeng was stunned for a moment, followed Li Yuan's words and said with a smile: "Writing lyrics? I've heard for a long time that Marshal Li is both civil and military, but it's really true when I see him today!"
Li Yuan smiled heartily and said: "Hey! Governor Zhou has said it all! He said that he is both civil and military, it is just a fallacy from the world, and he occasionally makes random nonsense when writing poems and lyrics... But if you two don't If you think that this handsome man is lacking in talent and knowledge, I can read this poem for you two to comment on. It just so happens that Zhang Sheren was born in the Hanlin Academy, so how about giving me some advice?"
The sentence at the end was obviously a bit redundant. Zhang Zi was not in the mood to listen to a ridiculous poem at this moment. He just wanted to slap Li Yuan's mean smile. Zhou Xingfeng, who echoed this, was originally He was a martial artist, and he was even more uninterested in writing and writing, but the two of them said the same thing against their will: "I'm all ears!"
Li Yuan nodded, swung his sleeves back freely, looked like a mature scholar, and began to shake his head with his hands behind his hands and said: "This poem by me is called "Wuye Cry", and the subtitle is "Langzhou Tonight" Wind and rain bring happiness to meet the governor of Zhou and Zhang Sheren. This poem is given to you two!"
The literati of the Southern Tang Dynasty inherited the customs of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Poems, songs, and texts can be given as gifts. There are many reasons for giving, not to mention greeting friends, getting promoted and traveling, or even drinking, chatting, and having fun together. When the prostitutes are in the mood, they can send poems to each other. Li Yuan now wanted to give this newly composed poem to Zhou Xingfeng and Zhang Zi. He also echoed the literati style and added a subtitle to indicate the origin. This was a popular practice among literati at the time.
"Tonight it is windy and rainy, and the curtains rustle with the sound of autumn. The candles are leaking and broken, and I often hit the pillow, and I can't sit up. The world is like a dream. The road to drunkenness should be frequent, but it is unbearable to do anything else." Li Yuan's eyes There was a flash of coldness, and then he slowly chanted.
