Chapter 59: The Return of Wang Zhongsi

Pei Min could not have imagined that gathering big poets would have such a terrible effect.

It created an era that belonged to them directly.

What really made people celebrate the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years? What is the most precious wealth?

It is not the scene of the prosperous Tang Dynasty with great spirit, nor the power of the surrender of the four barbarians, but a stunning poem and song, and wonderful and profound articles.

The brilliant Tang poetry is a wealth that will never go out of date for thousands of years.

The peak period of Tang poetry is undoubtedly this era.

The poet Li Bai, the poet Du Fu, the poet Mad He Zhizhang, the poet Buddha Wang Wei, the seven-character saint Wang Changling, Gao Shi, Cen Shen, Wang Zhihuan, Meng Haoran, etc., can’t count them.

These are the kind of particularly famous and prolific poets, and with mid-range poets, they are like crucian carp crossing the river.

If they could really be brought together, the scene would be so brilliant.

Pei Min just thought about it and felt excited.

Just as he was drinking happily, Wang Wei and Meng Haoran came to pay their respects together.

Meng Haoran is thirty-six years old this year. He is big-eared and has a beard on his face. He doesn't look like a scholar at all. Instead, he has a rough look, which makes Pei Min feel again: People should not behave like appearance.

"I've met Shuai Pei (Duke Pei)!"

The two greeted each other.

"No need to be polite!" Pei Min said, asking them to take their seats together.

When Zhang Xu saw the guests, he also asked the servants to prepare side dishes.

Meng Haoran is just a rough person, and his words and deeds still have the character of a literati. He is neither humble nor arrogant nor arrogant, and he feels like a rough man embroidered.

Pei Min and Meng Haoran talked about their apprentice Li Bai.

Meng Haoran also talked about their passing.

"In the tenth year of Kaiyuan, Yu Xiangyang's wine shop and his friend Jia Gao sang together. Taibai made a big fuss in the wine shop. He thought he was just a drunkard and ignored it. However, he didn't expect Taibai to make trouble on purpose. The owner of the wine shop forced the farmer's fine grain to make wine at a low price. Taibai couldn't see it and forced the boss to stand out for the farmer's family. Taibai's sword skills were elegant and free and easy, and the sword and others complemented each other, and he was very proud. Seeing that he was besieged by many people, I couldn't help but come forward to help. The two fell in love with each other at first sight, and they regretted that they met too late."

Pei Min's eyes lit up and she smiled and said, "Haoran can do swords?"

Meng Haoran nodded: "I studied and learned swordsmanship at the age of nine. I have been studying and learning more than twenty years. I am not as unparalleled as the Duke in the world, nor is it as elegant as Brother Taibai, and I am no longer a problem to deal with the thieves."

Pei Min respected Meng Haoran. In this martial era, there were really not many scholars who were simply powerless.

Meng Haoran said again that he met Li Bai's Wuchang again, "At that time, Yu was planning to visit friends in Guangling, and Taibai also gave him a farewell poem."

When talking about this, Meng Haoran was quite moved.

He has been famous for a long time and has rich experience. When he first met, his poetry and prose were much better than Li Bai, who had just begun to become a newcomer.

At the beginning, Li Bai asked him a lot about five-character ancient poems and seven-character ancient poems.

Meng Haoran's poems are characterized by "using ancient poetry as the regulated verse". Li Bai has certain similarities with Meng Haoran in this regard, which shows that he has been greatly influenced.

But in just over a year, when the two met again, Li Bai's "Sending Meng Haoran in the Yellow Crane Tower" had already felt like he was reborn.

This makes Meng Haoran feel that he is better than his own.

Zhang Xu had heard of this incident for a long time and sighed: "The lonely sail was gone from the sky, but only the Yangtze River flowed from the sky. Taibai's talent along with poetry and essays is really amazing."

Pei Min was also happy for Li Bai and looked at Meng Haoran and asked about his plans.

Meng Haoran said: "I am indulging in poetry and wine, and visiting mountains and rivers. I am worthy of my life and wasted my life. Taibai suggested that when I came to Liangzhou, Hexi, I met Mr. Bo Gao, Mr. Jiuling, Mo Jie, Shao Bo, Ji Ling and others. I felt a lot and understood a truth. In my life, a person needs to do something for others in addition to being worthy of my life. I have no other skills, but only some literary talent can be seen. I am willing to stay here to help the Duke. Mr. Bo Gao promotes my Chinese culture."

"Okay!" Pei Min originally wanted to bring Meng Haoran into the shogunate, but when he saw that he had his own goal, he didn't force it and agreed immediately.

With Zhang Xu and Meng Haoran in charge of the matters in the library, Pei Min can be completely relieved.

If Zhang Xu and Meng Haoran become officials, Pei Min may be worried that they will not be able to do so.

This poem is excellent, and it may not necessarily have a strategy for governing the country. However, even if they are in charge of literature, few people dare to say that they are more suitable than them.

It was already evening when I left the library.

Pei Min returned to Guzang with satisfaction.

Drinking and chatting with Zhang Xu and Meng Haoran, talking about literature and poetry, is not easy to relax.

In the following days, Pei Min personally arranged a marriage with Gongsun You, and was not ready to take down all kinds of etiquette.

Although Gongsun You is from the Jianghu, he is not polite and has no parents at home, Pei Min still does not intend to act hasty.

Give Gongsun You the greatest respect.

On that day, Pei Min arranged for the other courtyard where Gongsun You will live in the future.

In ancient times, three wives and four concubines were normal, and there was a set of methods for how to distribute them.

Whether it is a wife or a concubine, they have their own house.

As the master, Pei Min did not. He chose to sleep with at will.

In fact, in his heart, being able to sleep with a big sleep is a beautiful thing, but this kind of thought can only be thought about.

Pei Min is rich and powerful now, so she directly prepared a separate yard for Gongsun You.

Pei Min was personally responsible for the rest of the yard and was about to arrange for his servants to do it, but when he saw Wang Zhongsi coming from a distance, he immediately put down everything and greeted him with a laugh.

"Brother Min!" Wang Zhongsi shouted loudly and quickly stepped forward to say hello.

Pei Min put his hands on Wang Zhongsi's shoulders, pressed them, and was so hard that he was not moving. He smiled and said, "It's strong again! Have you seen Aunt Wang, have you my mother?"

"I've seen it!" Wang Zhongsi said: "As soon as I came back, I kowtowed to my mother and said hello to me. When I learned that Brother Min was here, I came to see him and talked about the matter in the capital with Brother Min."

"Okay!" Pei Min pulled Wang Zhongsi to the study. He knew that Wang Zhongsi didn't like tea, so he served wine directly.

Wang Zhongsi was as sensible as ever and gave Pei Min a first to give him a lecture.

Pei Min asked, "What happened when I went to Chang'an to offer prisoners?"

Wang Zhongsi shook his head and said, "There is no major event. It's just that I'm not good at fighting in the court. I'm worried that I can't handle it well, which will cause Brother Min to implicate Brother Min." He paused and said, "This time I entered the capital, I met Your Majesty. Your Majesty was very easy-going and was very fond of me. He promoted me to the envoy of Jiesheng Army and had the intention of transferring me from Hexi, so I asked me to fill the vacancy in Anxi. I didn't want to leave Brother Min, so I refused, saying that Ziting's geographical location was special and I dared not leave lightly, so as not to break Brother Min's plan."

Pei Min nodded without saying much. According to his understanding of Li Longji, Li Longji's proposal was simply to promote it, and there was no other meaning.

Wang Zhongsi continued: "Your Majesty also asked about the situation in the Western Regions..."

He will explain in detail the meeting with Li Longji.

Pei Min finished listening word by word and said, "We should pay attention to the court's intrigue and deception, and be cautious in our right way, but we don't need to be too cautious. How can we say, Your Majesty is a king with a strong sense of utilitarianism. He is extremely tolerant of generals who can bring him achievements. Even if you have any mistakes or mistakes, he will turn a blind eye. Therefore, meeting such a king is a blessing for us generals. It is not Your Majesty, but the ministers in the court."

"According to the news I have received, Your Majesty attaches importance to martial arts, and Premier Zhang is in charge of the government, and tends to govern the army. It has caused dissatisfaction among some civil officials, who think that civil government is the foundation of the country. Such a worthy effort to achieve military achievements, command and promote unhealthy trends, and violate national stability. Therefore, Brother Min, holding the troops of the two towns and being responsible for government affairs in Hexi, has caused some people to be unable to bear it."

Wang Zhongsi said indignantly: "Brother Min is loyal to the country. If he had no brother Min, how could he have the peaceful and prosperous times in the present? How could they enjoy the world of Chang'an with ease? A group of idiots who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth..."

Pei Min laughed and said, "In fact, this is not without benefits. Only when there is a certain gap between civil and military officials is decent. If the people are really willing and united, it will be dangerous. Don't care about these things. As long as the other party does not maliciously attack and does not harm the overall situation because of this political prejudice, you don't have to worry about them."

Pei Min is very open now, and friction between civil and military officials is essential.

The more the opposition is, the more chaotic it will be.

Ignore it, but instead, I can empty my mind and deal with foreign enemies.

And the key is that the current court atmosphere is indeed good. Those civil officials who oppose Zhang Shuo and don’t like Pei Min. Most of them think that if Pei Min holds a 140,000 army, it is inappropriate to control government affairs. They have not really attacked Pei Min, such as those who hold a 140,000 army, and they have not really attacked Pei Min, such as self-respecting and self-pride.

Therefore, Pei Min was too lazy to care about it and showed his magnanimity.

The more this happens, the less many civil officials are able to target Pei Min, and the more they point the finger at Zhang and tell him about this person.

Compared to Yao Chong's one-man show, Song Jing's hearts are obviously not fully convinced.

Pei Min said to Wang Zhongsi seriously: "In the future, you will definitely go out and be the only one. Remember Brother Min's words, there is a difference between civil and military affairs. You must not argue with those raving civil officials. No matter whether they fight for the win or lose, they will not be able to get good. If you really suffer grievances, come back and tell Brother Min, you will stand up for you."

As he said that, he thought of Wang Zhongsi’s history and emphasized: “But there is one thing you should pay attention to. With your identity as Brother Min, I can take on any big things like you. The only thing is that I can do nothing, so you must not mix in.”

Wang Zhongsi said cautiously: "Brother Min, please speak."

Pei Min said: "Your Majesty's family background is a struggle between Concubine Wu Jie or a prince. Your Majesty is a person who values ​​personal feelings. He is very irrational in this regard. If he violates his scattered scales, no one can protect you."

Wang Zhongsi expressed his understanding carefully and paused, "Actually, this time in Chang'an, I met the third prince Li Sisheng."
