It turns out you are this kind of Ouyang Xiu.
Liang Chuan thought to himself, he had long heard that Ouyang Xiu was an aggressive person. When he was an official in the court, he would speak out if anyone disobeyed him. In addition, he was also good at writing. Others would spray with their mouths, but he would write with a pen. Written criticism is much more cruel than verbal criticism.
Liang Chuan didn't know that this was Ding Wei's prejudice against Ouyang Xiu. Liang Chuan only had a one-time relationship and listened to other people's prejudices, so he also had a preconceived view of Ouyang Xiu.
The officialdom of the Song Dynasty was so complicated that people with insufficient intelligence could not even understand how they were betrayed by others. This was a battlefield and even a Shura field. Those who failed, such as outstanding people like Kou Zhun, were smeared and fabricated by these people. , not to mention an upright person like Ouyang Xiu.
Ouyang Xiu's character offended countless people in the court, and his official reputation was not very good.
But the Qing Dynasty will be Qing Dynasty, and Mr. Ouyang's character is still good, otherwise The Drunken Old Man's Pavilion would not have been talked about for thousands of years. People who can write that the drunkard is not interested in drinking should also have an understanding of life, but it is impossible to write it without going through suffering.
Being with this group of people, Liang Chuan felt uncomfortable but also felt that the atmosphere was not bad, contradictory and juxtaposed.
This is probably also the charm of the Song Dynasty. You and I have different political views, but we are on the matter and not the person. We are colleagues. In the court, we will not give in. When you leave the court, I will see you off. This is The sincere sympathy between literati.
Lu Yijian was also the prime minister, and Ouyang Xiu was not on the same page with him, but their relationship in private was not too bad.
Just like what Jiang Qi, the censor, said, everyone is working for Zhao Guan's family. If they criticize each other for their own selfish interests, that's fine, but if they are public-minded and are looked down upon by others, that's wrong.
These words are somewhat meant to excuse himself. As the censor, Jiang Qi often attacks Lu Yijian on weekdays, but this is what he eats. If the censor also follows suit, will the court collapse?
Ouyang Xiu also has a very strong heart. As a qualified gangster, he doesn't care about other people's opinions. On the contrary, he admires Lu Yijian's conscientious model worker attitude.
Ouyang Xiu raised his cup and said to Lu Yijian: "Master Lu, I will compose a new song called Yujia Aote and give it to Master Lu!"
Ouyang Xiu raised his glass and took his seat, holding his head high and walking around in the main hall. Just as Yan Shu said, he didn't care what Yan Shu thought of him. Yan Shu thought he had helped him, but he didn't appreciate his favor.
Taizu had stipulated that cliques were strictly prohibited in the court, and the examiners and examinees in the imperial examinations were strictly prohibited from communicating with teachers, students, and disciples. What they were afraid of was that these civil servants would get twisted into a ball.
Ouyang Xiu's spirit is very clean and strong, and he will not follow the path of a small group. He is of his own faction and does not get along with anyone. Even if Yan Shu said something thorny in his words that he did not care about the friendship between teachers and students, he did not care at all. .
Liang Chuan looked at Ouyang Xiu with a complicated expression. This gentleman was among the eight great masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties. All eight of them were amazing talents. Today, he could see his true face. Although there were some shortcomings, it was enough to say that he would have no regrets in his life!
Ouyang Xiu said loudly: "The talents of the Four Epochs are famous all over the world. The buildings built in the three dynasties are Liangdong. They are determined to be successful and retire bravely. They say goodbye to the honor and favor. When I return, I will be surrounded by music and songs. I have no use for my meager talents. You are so kind to me and I promise to return to Tianlong. . It’s rare to share a cup of wine today. Let’s chat and praise each other. The official slave will sing for me.”
Lu Yijian wrote a poem lamenting that today is different from the past, and Ouyang Xiu wrote a poem to suit the occasion. He directly talked about Lu Yijian's life. He was famous all over the world for his humerus. Today he returned to his official position and returned to his field. He will never have a relative salary in the future. He was highly praised. Lu Yijian's achievements also have a feeling of regret. As Yan Shu said, Uncle Ouyang Yong lived up to his reputation and was superior in skills!
Everyone was admired and unhappy at the same time. What was unhappy was that Ouyang Xiu's character could not get along with anyone, but what they admired was Ouyang Xiu's talent. He really spoke out of his mouth. No wonder even Dr. Yan recommended him! This is the typical representative of the legendary person who is dissatisfied with others but cannot scold them!
Lu Yijian was full of praise and clapped his hands repeatedly to praise him. Ouyang Xiu is the same person as Fan Zhongyan. If he has more, it will not be a loss. If he has less, it will be a loss to the court.
"Master Ouyang is worthy of being a great talent on my behalf. After seeing all the civil and military talents in the dynasty, I think the only one who can compete with Master Ouyang is Master Ding."
Lu Yijian suddenly turned his focus to Ding Wei.
No matter what their political views, other people in the imperial court at least have good intentions, but Ding said otherwise. This guy is a traitorous minister through and through. Their previous group and Wang Qinruo and others are all like this. He is a man of unparalleled talent and intelligence, but unfortunately he likes to use his intelligence to attack and criticize. If it hadn't been for the fact that the five ghosts in recent years had begun to fall apart, Liu Chenggui had been arrested, Lin Te, Chen Pengnian had fallen, and even Wang Ruoqin would have retired. Otherwise, These five ghosts were in court, deceiving people with their talents every day, but secretly they were actually plotting. Lu Yijian sighed to himself, once he left, he was afraid that the situation would inevitably be turbulent.
Fortunately, he is just a Ding Wei now. No matter how arrogant he is, he won't be able to stay up for a long time.
Ding Wei has been famous for a long time, not because of his name as a sycophant, but because of his photographic memory and his extraordinary intelligence. He had won the favor of the late emperor with his many clever tricks when he was still there, and now he is even more popular. , anyone can guess that as soon as Lu Yijian leaves, his position will fall into his hands.
Yang Chongxun, the deputy privy envoy, said: "Old Ding, we are rough people and can't recite poems, but we can listen. Your talents are competing with each other, which is an eye-opener for us. Why don't Master Ding show his skills and let everyone see?" Woolen cloth!"
Yang Chongxun was born as a warrior, and the way he spoke was different from everyone else. The old soldier Youzi couldn't hold back his temper. Others knew that Lu Yijian was testing him, Ding Wei. The donkey got off and gave it a push.
Ding said that it was not too difficult for him to compose a poem at once, but it was quite difficult to write a poem as profound and profound as Ouyang Xiu's!
But today he is not worried, because he is more afraid of poetry than others, but there are others who are not. The young man behind him is a great talent today, and he is afraid that Ouyang Xiu will be defeated.
Everyone had long heard that Ding said that his photographic memory was not very good and he was familiar with hundreds of poems. They all agreed: "Master Ding is busy with everything. In recent days, he has been frequently worried about the officials and the Queen Mother. Today, I came to say goodbye to Master Lu despite his busy schedule." , why not also recite a poem?"
Everyone just hoped that he would not be able to hold back a word and would make a big fool of himself in front of all the officials. Ouyang Xiu's poetry had a high artistic conception and high level. It would be extremely difficult to do better than him!
Ding said: "Today I should have personally composed a poem to say goodbye to Mr. Lu. Mr. Ouyang's art has surpassed all others. I would rather pay homage to Mr. Ouyang, but..."
Lu Yijian said: "But?"
Ding Wei said to himself: "I still remember that two years ago, a new song "Qingyu Case" came out in the south on New Year's Eve, with the sentence "Looking back suddenly, the man was in the dim light", and a Mid-Autumn Festival water-melody song "Hope for people". For a long time, thousands of miles away, we have shared the beauty of the beauty. It is famous all over the world and everyone is shocked. You should hear it!"
Many people present could not help but be startled. Many of them had heard of these two poems.
Yan Shu was also quite surprised. The style of these two poems was similar to his, but they contained more romantic feelings and even more detachment. He felt inferior after listening to them. However, the authors of these two poems are like meteors from the sky. Although they are extremely dazzling, they disappear in a flash, which is really disappointing.
Why did Ding Wei suddenly mention these two poems today?
Lu Yijian pondered for a moment and recalled: "I remember that these two poems first appeared two years ago, from Qingyuan County, Fujian Road, but the author is unknown. When I first heard these two poems, I It is expected that this son will have great achievements. The eternal curse of Fujian not producing literati has finally been broken by these two poems. I did not expect that there will be no new words rumored so far, which makes people regretful."
Ding Wei stood up and said to everyone: "Yes, these two poems were shocking works when they appeared in the world. Unfortunately, they have never been heard again in the world. Mr. Lu need not regret today, because the author is behind me!"
What! Everyone couldn't hold it any longer, and everyone's attention was focused on the big fool in bright red and green clothes behind Ding Wei. It turned out to be him!
Everyone's eyes turned to him for a moment. Liang Chuan was a little at a loss. He just came to see the world, but he didn't expect to become the protagonist. The contrast was a bit too big.
Ding said, you old fox, I don't have the right to speak in this situation, you actually pushed me out as a shield.
Liang Chuan was so nervous that he stuttered: "Master Ding, your joke is too big. How could I..."
Everyone was also in disbelief. Can this guy write such good poems? Yang Chongxun, an old man, looked at Liang Chuan and said, "Old Ding, aren't you just entertaining us? I heard that this young man is a servant of your family. If you don't show it, let it go. How can you bring your servants out to make trouble?" Do you take your gentlemen into consideration?"
Yang Chongxun looked at Liang Chuan's cowardly face with a mischievous smile, which caused everyone to laugh and boo. Ding Wei originally wanted to be in the limelight and enjoy the compliments of everyone, but he didn't expect that he would become the laughing stock of everyone. Thanks to his deep cultivation and excellent cultivation. , otherwise he would have scolded her a long time ago, but his old face also darkened.
"Sanlang, just sing a song casually. If the princes are present, let them give you some pointers."
Ding Wei was a little unhappy. I brought you here today just to show off the power of these intellectuals. I didn't expect you to be so disobedient today and dare to refute my face in public!
Liang Chuan is in a dilemma!
At best, he is a person who has received nine years of compulsory education and then high school exam-oriented education. Most of the poems he memorizes are from the mouths of these big guys present. He can't do anything on the spot!
but. .
This is a challenge but also an opportunity. If you do well today, you will be appreciated by many people, and your reputation will be greatly expanded. However, it is also very difficult. If you do not do well, you will offend Ding Wei, and your previous efforts will not count. It's all in vain.
Thinking of this section, Liang Chuan still reluctantly said: "Okay, I'll try my best!"
Liang Chuan thought for a while. There was a famous poem about Huajian in the past. By the way, it might as well be called Nian that one.
Liang Chuan recited in a polite manner: "A new song with new lyrics and a glass of wine, the weather is the same as last year. When will the sun set? The flowers fall helplessly, and the familiar swallows return. The fragrant path in the small garden wanders alone."
As soon as Liang Chuan finished reading, everyone burst into laughter. Ding said that this fool was really big. He thought he would ask a high-level expert to show off in front of everyone, but he didn't expect that he would shout like a child. Someone come and recite.
What’s more, what I’m reading is Dr. Yan’s poems. This doctor is Yan Shu, and this poem “Die Lian Hua” is exactly his poems.
Hearing everyone laugh, Liang Chuan felt terrible!
Ding said that he was so angry that he narrowed his small triangular eyes with anger. He was thinking, Liang Chuan, you must have deliberately made me look embarrassed in front of everyone. Dr. Yan's poems are so famous. Everyone knows that a three-year-old child can recite it, but Dr. Yan doesn’t want you to show off?
This is really an injustice to Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan really misremembered and forgot for a moment that the author was right in front of him. Isn't this a big show in front of Guan Gong? He only knew that Dr. Yan had a high status and was good at composing lyrics, but he didn’t know that Dr. Yan was Yan Shu, the poet from Huajian!
Someone in the hall directly joked to Yan Shu: "Mr. Yan, someone reads your poems and regards them as their own works. How do you feel?"
Yan Shu was also embarrassed. This word was a bit graceful and not grand, especially after Liang Chuan's emotionless way of pronouncing it word by word, like a babbling child reciting his words, everyone present was stunned. He is a man of great talent, and Huajianci is Xiaoya. He was already a little unable to do anything, but this incident made his face even redder!
When Liang Chuan saw that something was wrong, he kept saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll do another song!"
Everyone laughed even more when they saw this. Is it possible that this kid wants to read Dr. Yan's other words again?
Everyone has no expectations for Liang Chuan, and they don't believe that someone like Liang Chuan can make a masterpiece like Yuan Xi. It must have been plagiarized somewhere!
At this point, even Ding Wei lost confidence in Liang Chuan. He slowly closed his eyes amidst the laughter of everyone, but there was overwhelming anger in his belly!
I want you Liang Chuan to look good when I go back!
Liang Chuan opened his mouth and read loudly amidst the laughter of everyone. His voice was so impassioned and impassioned that it completely suppressed the laughter present!
"The rolling waters of the Yangtze River pass by, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success or failure are all gone. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red a few times. The white-haired fisherman on the river is used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine happily meets. So many things in ancient and modern times. , all in a joke."
Although there are only two short towers, the upper and lower towers, the scene is deathly silent!
This song is the work of Yang Shen, the most talented man in the Ming Dynasty. It is also the opening line of Lao Luo's Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It is majestic and majestic. Even the old version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been enhanced by this song. Although it was not written by Liang Chuan, Just reading it once made me feel breathless, as if I was immersed in the aftermath of the passing of heroes like the Three Kingdoms.
Good words, good words! Liang Chuan felt secretly happy. No one must have read this poem before!
Liang Chuan came back to his senses and saw that the whole hall was completely silent. Everyone was dumbfounded and stared at Liang Chuan, all in a state of shock!
