Li Dan came out to change clothes (to use the toilet) in the middle. When he walked back, he looked up and saw Liu Xi walking out. He greeted him and told him how to get to the toilet. Li Dan was stopped again when he was about to return to the table.
"Sir, do you know why I came to Jiangxi?" Liu Xi asked with a smile.
"Isn't the servant here to deliver the message?" Li Dan pretended to be puzzled.
"Hey, there are people here to convey the order. I want to ask Mr. Zhao something for the emperor." After Liu Xi finished speaking, he looked around and saw no one around. He lowered his voice and said, "Actually, we mainly came to see you."
"Look at me?" Li Dan was surprised.
"I mean, let me take a look at you for the emperor. What kind of person are you and how do you do things? Besides, the emperor has something else for me to ask you." Seeing that Li Dan was about to bow, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Please spare your time tomorrow, sir." , let’s discuss it in detail.”
"Then... how about asking the servant to move to Jinfeng Temple? Tomorrow is the day to send out troops to recover Jinxian. You can just see how I command and how the group training works. If the servant agrees, , I will send a car to wait outside the door at about ten o'clock. How about it?" Kanshu La
"Okay! Let's do it like this!" Liu Xi was originally worried that Li Dan would hide many things from him, but he didn't expect that the other party would open the door completely and look like "you can take a look at it as you like", and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Are we going to regain Jinxian? Is the experience reliable?" He felt his heart beating violently. This was the first time he was on the front line. How could he not be nervous?
Li Dan saw it and said with a smile: "Servant, please don't be nervous, it's nothing. The enemy is difficult to fight, but we have set up a trap. It will not be that difficult to beat the tiger after it falls in."
Liu Xi patted his palms lightly for his metaphor, and then whispered: "Your Majesty is very optimistic about you, sir. Don't worry, sir. It's just that you are still young, and some ministers are not convinced."
Furthermore, the new Chief Envoy is also a veteran, so His Majesty ordered me to come and take a look, and stay with you for a while. If anything happens, I can send the Winged Dragon Guard I brought back to the palace at any time. This is a support. I hope you understand. "
"I understand, I understand." Li Dan quickly handed over his hand: "In this case, we have to share hardships for a period of time, and we should not be so alienated from each other anymore. It will be too troublesome for you to come and go!"
"That's not the case. How about you call me Ah Xi in private from now on?"
"Don't call me sir, just call me Saburo."
"Then please forgive me, Sanlang. I'm offended."
"Hey, if that's the case, then there are no villains or slaves."
"Okay, okay, Ah Xi is wrong, don't blame me Saburo!"
Li Dan waved his hand and asked, "Axi, I received the imperial edict today, but there is something in it that I don't understand. I hope you can help me clear up my confusion."
"What is Saburo asking about?"
"Why didn't your Majesty ask me to rescue Prince Fu, but instead just asked me to rescue Prince Fengning?"
"So that's what I'm asking." Liu Xi looked around and whispered, "Prince Fengning has been living in His Majesty's dormitory since the beginning of the feudal period. He was His Majesty's playmate and reading companion when he was young..."
"Oh!" Li Dan suddenly understood.
"Why, it's very difficult to save the prince. Does it bother you, Sanlang?" Liu Xi immediately noticed and asked sensitively.
Li Dan explained the dangerous situation in Shangrao, and Liu Xi was so shocked that sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead. He told Li Dan that the emperor attached great importance to this matter and specially sent two pterosaur guards to supervise it.
Li Dan smiled bitterly, thinking that he knew that this title would not be that easy, right? But the will has been received, and this matter must be done.
Now that Zhao Chongbi has also received the strict order to save Fengning County Prince, at least there is someone to share the pressure. If he needs people, weapons, money or food and grass, he cannot ask Yu Gan's committee to bear the responsibility. It all has to fall on him as the inspector!
Back at the entrance of the hall, Li Dan called Mao Zaidi over and whispered, asking him to inform Zhao Jingzi, Yang Shijie, Feng Shen, Shen Jie and Zhu Qing to come to the inspection yamen in an hour to discuss matters.
Turning around, he saw Lou Liang hurriedly passing by with his head lowered. He hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said softly, "Sir, you are back. How hard has it been today?"
Lou Liang nodded and looked at the hall: "Do you have a guest?"
"The emperor sent an envoy and granted the student the title of Military Cavalry Lieutenant for his merits. He also ordered the student to serve as a propaganda and regimental training envoy for central and southern Jiangxi. Therefore, he entertained the angels and held a small banquet.
Sir, do you also want to show up in the hall? Mr. Zhao and Zhou Zhixian are also there. "Li Dan asked him respectfully.
"No." Lou Liang waved his hand and said with a smile: "I won't be allowed to drink, write poems or sing praises for a while. I am full of joy in front of all the students, but I don't want to be disturbed by them. It's better to go to the room and pour a few drinks to feel comfortable. Don't disturb me. I."
"Yes, the student ordered people to send food and wine to the teacher's room. If Mr. Zhao asked, he would say that the teacher was so angry with the students during the day that he had a headache and had gone to bed early now."
"Nonsense, have I ever been angry with them?" Lou Liang scolded with a smile, and hurried back to the house when no one was watching. It turns out that he feels free except giving Li Dan advice on his homework. This student is a worry-free student and can be taught effortlessly.
So Li Dan helped him borrow two vacant rooms in the back, and used them as a voluntary school to preach and teach. In reality, they were just educating children. Not even a bunch of bunches of water, even a handful of wild rice or a bunch of dried beans, just for the sake of happiness.
Back at the banquet, several literati were drinking happily and clamoring to ask Zhang Ping to come up with a topic for his poems.
Zhang Ping said: "I was viewing the new bridge from afar on the west gate just now. At Master Li's request, I titled it 'Crossing the Cloud Bridge.' Today, why don't you write a poem with the title of 'Crossing the Cloud Bridge'? It is also a beautiful poem that matches the grand scene." , how about it?"
Everyone cheered in unison, and those who participated sat down at the table. Zhao Chongbi called his servants in with a smile. He sat down with everyone, held a bowl, and used two chopsticks to beat drums and give orders.
A maid tied a flower with a sweat scarf, and people around the table came to pass the flowers around. Whoever had the flower in his hand when the drums stopped at the end had to write a poem.
This is called the "Flower Passing Order". It makes the whole table drink but the author does not drink. If it fails, the flower holder will punish himself with two drinks. It is a game that requires quick wits.
The first drumbeat sounded, but it was like raindrops and continued continuously. Everyone was surprised when the drumbeat suddenly stopped, but Master Jiaoyu had just received the flowers and before he handed them to Zhou Zhixian, he stood up with a smile and said "show your embarrassment" , then go to the table to write and read on the spot:
A bridge spans across the blue waves, with green warehouses on both sides entering the picture curtain;
The flowing water surges and white fish leap, and the canopy boat has moved forward across the beach.
Everyone said hello, picked up their cups and drank, and the drums started beating again. This time, it was like a horse's hooves, neither fast nor slow. Just when people were slacking off, they stopped suddenly.
Zhao Chongbi turned around and laughed and scolded: "This hozen doesn't care about its master!" After all, he got up and got a pen. Thinking about it, he wrote two poems:
One:
The ancient county rests on the river, with a bridge across the clouds;
The mountain rises towards Jinfeng, and the shadow of Tianlian Tower is far away.
Second:
The river crosses the clouds and never returns, and the white duckweed and red polygonum are all piled up in the tiles;
Who can tell when the giant fish bites its tail? It scares the cormorants away in a cup of snow.
Everyone cheered in unison, saying that Mr. Zhao was so quick in thinking that he had two songs, which was admirable. The third tom fell on Zhou Zhixian. He stood up with a smile and bowed to everyone:
"Not long after I came to Anren, I saw both the old bridge and the new bridge. It made people sigh at the changes in the world and the fate of the world. I would like to write a small poem to record it." After saying this, he went to write it. A boy picked it up and read it loudly. road:
The slanting wind blows over the Kuayun Bridge, and the autumn cicadas see off the guests all the way;
But I recall that last night last year, the blue light reflected the old river bridge in the distance.
"Okay!" Zhao Chongbi shouted first: "You have the style of a Jinshi, with beautiful emotions and scenery. This compares to me. I will drink one more drink as punishment!" After that, he drank two glasses, and everyone knew that he was happy. The county was humbled one after another and hurriedly filled the empty cup for him.
Next the flowers fell into the hands of a local squire, who had no choice but to drink two glasses because he couldn't think of anything else. Further down is Zhou Xin’s:
Spring scenery fills the river bridge, with thousands of gates and thousands of willow branches;
A beautiful woman is learning to dance for the first time, and a child also follows the trend.
Zhang Ping said "Huh" and said, "I just thought that my master made money in a good way, but I didn't expect that a little poem turned out to be so lively and interesting. It's rare, rare. I won't lose anything with this drink!" After that, he laughed and laughed with everyone. Drink.
flowers again
Passing it on, I never thought that the boy playing the drums was naughty. The drums were high and low, sometimes tight and sometimes slow, as if he were joking with everyone. Zhang Ping stopped when he caught it. Everyone calmed down and listened to his poem, which was:
The Qingfeng River flows around Chaimen, and a few cattle and sheep are scattered in distant villages;
There are white fishing boats on both sides of the bank, and three or five ancient trees protect the roots of the fence.
Crossing the Yunxin Bridge to connect the ancient moat, Jinfeng has a beautiful atmosphere.
Thousands of doors have been opened with heavy locks and keys. From now on, Taoyuan praises God's grace.
"Hey, you are worthy of being someone who comes from the Emperor's side!" Li Dan shouted in his heart. When he turned around, he saw Liu Xi looking at the steps and not coming in, so he walked over and asked, "Why doesn't Ah Xi come in?"
"Forget it, we have a disabled body, why bother calling them a joke?" Liu Xi smiled bitterly.
"Aren't you literate?"
"I know how to read, but we're not good at this."
Li Dan lowered his head and said, "This is not good. If you don't return to the table, they will think you are intentionally rude, and it will not sound good if you spread the word. Besides, there is Lao Zhao there. It's not good for him to just reply silently." Are you going to your room?"
"This..., this is true." Liu Xi smacked his lips.
"Why don't I compose a song for you? Memorize it and bring it out for the occasion. When you're done, you can tell me how drunk you are. That's not rude, and it's in line with everyone's interests. It's mutually beneficial. How about that?"
When Liu Xi heard this, he quickly handed over his hand and said, "Sanlang helped me, you are such a noble man. You will be rewarded later!"
Li Dan taught him how to memorize it outside the door. Fortunately, this guy was smart and knew it once, so he went in happily.
Sure enough, everyone started shouting when they saw him returning to the table, and Liu Xi hurriedly apologized: "I'm really too drunk, and it took me a long time. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll punish myself with a drink first, compose a poem, and then go back to my room to rest." Do you think this is okay?"
Everyone was naturally speechless after hearing this. Liu Xi drank first, then went to the Four Treasures of the Study Room to pick up a pen, pretended to shake his head, and wrote the poem based on the newly memorized memory. Then he put away the pen, picked up the paper and read to himself:
In autumn, the natural chasms turn into rivers, and the new bridge across the clouds lies on the waves.
The green trees and clouds call to the woman, and the net collects the oars and scares the cranes.
"Hey, Xiao Liu is pretty good. I didn't expect you to have two brushes!" Zhao Chongbi slapped the table in surprise.
"Thank you for the compliment, but I really can't hold it anymore. I apologize, I apologize!" Liu Xi was young, so he resigned quickly for fear of revealing his secrets by saying a few more words. Li Dan called Lu Jiu and quickly called Liu Xi's companion to come in and help him to his small courtyard.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ping saw the picture he had here and shouted: "Oh no, we are having fun here, but we forgot about today's new lord! Come in and ask him to write a poem!"
Li Dan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this, so he turned around and said, "Since you said that, you should congratulate me. Why do you want to compose a poem next to me?"
Zhang Ping ignored him and clamored to listen to poetry. Li Dan had no choice but to be pulled back to his original position, and he held his hands in front of everyone: "Sanlang is young, has little talent and little knowledge, and is not as good as everyone else.
It is said that there are two Jinshi and a Juren master in this palace. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to show Dan's poems? And where did the literary thoughts come from in such a hurry? I'm not that Cao Zijian (Cao Zhi), and I don't even have the skills of you guys.
How about this, I will first dedicate the poem I wrote when I fought with the lake bandits at night and returned to camp after defeating the enemy a few days ago, for everyone's enjoyment. What do you think? "
During the dinner, only Zhao Chongbi knew about his poem "I am proud of Yu Jinxi". He did not believe that he had no quick wit, but he also wanted to hear what kind of poem his young subordinate composed when he broke through the enemy's rear, so he smiled and said:
"Just tell me and listen. If it's good, let it go. If it's bad, you still need to complete tonight's homework!"
"Yes, yes!" After hearing what Zhao Chongbi said, the others gave in. So Li Dan walked to the desk, picked up the pen and licked the ink again, and wrote:
Looking to the north, there are many households in Guanshan, and the armor and clothes are cold and cold.
The fighting spirit of the soldiers soars into the sky, and the flags roll over the enemy like waves.
Everyone was dissatisfied when they saw it. Zhao Chongbi said that there was nothing he could do. According to what he just said, he would be punished with a cup of wine and make another song. Li Dan had no choice but to do as he was told, drink wine and write down, but when he recited it, it was the song "Recalling Jiangnan":
Jiang Sheng
Urgent, thousand-foot crouching dragon pattern;
Brocades, sails, and rafters compete for the ferry, and fishing boats and boats are on fire, causing chaos in the mountains.
The tide hits a flock of white gulls.
Everyone in the room laughed, and Zhao Chongbi feigned anger and slammed the table: "Hey, what are you doing, you hozen? Our drinking order is to compose poetry, how can we find the words to put it together? I'll give you a drink, and write it again quickly. !」
"Oh, you just say you are not good at this, but you want to make things difficult for me!" Li Dan spread his hands, but still drank, and obediently went to write on a new piece of paper, and read it to the boy:
The ancient pagoda is majestic, pressing down on the giant turtle, and rubbing it once remembers the roaring waves;
The monks returned to the bamboo courtyard and the river began to converge. People were singing fishermen's songs before the moon was far away.
The sun sets over the long bridge, thousands of sails are quiet, the water reflects the egrets and egrets become more graceful;
Originally there were few fireworks on the ancient ferry, and the sky was full of stars and crows for a long time.
"Well, it's not satisfactory, but it's not bad. What do Tongqiu (Zhang Ping) think?" Zhao Chongbi obviously planned to let Li Dan go, so he looked at Zhang Ping.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ping opened his eyes and waved his hand, "What's this? It's gentle and soft. How can it not be half as good as your Li Sanlang who immediately attacks the thief and captures his head? It's not a good poem!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Dan drank the wine that Mr. Zhu had just poured for him and said:
Tianjia Zhangnan Jinfeng City spans the long bridge of thousands of miles;
The iron cavalry trampled the enemy troops, and the orioles played on the bridge when they returned.
Zhang Ping blinked and then said: "It's okay, but... the last sentence was soft." Li Dan drank another drink and said:
The general has fought a hundred battles across the bridge and returned, but the willows are still in the clear water.
I once remembered that it was raining continuously at the port, but how could there be a cloud bridge as tall as a mountain?
"Um..." Zhang Ping stroked his beard before speaking, and Li Dan bowed to the ground: "I beg you to forgive me, but tomorrow I will draw a "Sunset over the Long Bridge" with my own handwriting to apologize to you. How about tonight? There are also military discussions, I really don’t dare to drink anymore!”
Seeing him begging for mercy, the whole room laughed, and Zhao Chongbi also came to smooth things over. Zhang Ping asked Li Dan to write the next few poems, and told him to get the painting tomorrow. Then he was staggered by the servant and sent to the backyard to rest.
The protagonist was not here, and they heard that there would be a military meeting tonight, so the guests stood up and left one after another. Zhao Chongbi got into the car and asked Li Dan to get up too.
He obviously drank a lot. He propped his body on the teacup with his elbows and rested his chin on his hands. He drank a cup of strong tea that Li Dan brewed for him. He frowned and said, "Can such a bitter thing relieve hangover?"
"Sir, let's give it a try. There's no harm in doing it anyway." Li Dan's face turned red after drinking, as if he was very excited.
"You hozen have something to say. You've been holding it back for a long time, right?" Zhao Chongbi sneered: "I saw it when you received the order. Now that there is no one, you can ask."
"Your Excellency, it's not a big deal, it's just about the prince of Shangrao."
Just after Li Dan finished speaking, he heard Zhao Chongbi sigh: "Oh, didn't I ask Liu Xi to tell you? Feng Ning was His Majesty's playmate and companion when he stayed in the residence."
Li Dan's eyes flashed, and he quickly said: "Liu Xi has said it. The problem is...the emperor doesn't know that Shangrao has been cut off, and the official channels on the northern front are blocked, right? I'm thinking about this decree, but how can people be cut off?" What about rescue?
Besides, the prince is the pinnacle of the sea. His officers, soldiers and people must be brave. If they knew that he had left, wouldn't their morale plummet? "
"I understand what you said." Zhao Chongbi sighed again: "But no matter what, you must take him out of the gang!"
"W-why is this?"
"Ever since the little Empress Dowager, she has liked the prince and treated him like her own child. Now that Christmas (the Empress Dowager's birthday) is approaching, do you want the emperor to give bad news to the Queen Mother on this beautiful day? And he is the first one to fall since the founding of this dynasty. Lord of the vassal, that will shock both the government and the public!"
"I can understand the Empress Dowager's Christmas, but to say it shocked the government and the public, isn't it a bit sensational?" Li Dan lowered his voice and looked at Zhao Chongbi in disbelief.
However, he also knew that Zhao Chongbi had been familiar with etiquette and court affairs since he was a child, and he should not be a talkative person.
Sure enough, Zhao Chongbi observed the surroundings and also lowered his voice and said: "I will analyze the current situation of the court for you, and you will understand that what I said is true.
If this matter is handled well, everyone will be happy, but if it is not handled well, the government and the public will be shocked. Not only will the cabinet have to resign en masse, but the series of reactions it will cause will last for a long time.
If the court does not have stable and powerful management, it will cause turmoil both internally and externally. His Majesty the Emperor, who has just launched a personal expedition, will be in danger, do you understand? "
"Uh," Li Dan shook his head directly: "I don't understand. Sir, you seem to be getting more and more powerful as you talk. What on earth is going on?"
In Li Dan's opinion, there are twenty-three county princes in the country. Even if Fengning is a high-ranking prince, he will cause chaos in the world. This statement is a bit too shocking. He felt that he was half-awakened by Zhao Chongbi's bluff!
