This Song Dynasty is different

Chapter 15 Zhao Zhen’s gentleness, Li Xian’s ruthlessness

That water-melody song spread all over Bianjing overnight. Women in the city were singing it, and even the people in the palace were reciting it.

But one question is troubling.

Who is the author?
It is said that the author is a young man, and he only wrote this poem because the maid at home wanted to get rich.

At this moment this person appeared.

"It's Li Langjun."

"Which Li Langjun?"

"The one who has good relations with the officials."

"Li Guoan?"

"It is this man."

There is a lot of discussion in the palace, and the protagonist is being summoned by the Queen Mother alone.

The Queen Mother looked at the young man with complex eyes, "When will the bright moon come? Ask the sky for wine. Why does such a bold and heroic young man hang out among fish and shrimps and refuse to show off? I asked myself that I didn't mean to be jealous of talents, so why did I commit suicide? dark?"

The power of this poem is too great... Li Xian smiled bitterly in his heart and said sternly: "When the late emperor was here, there was some chaos in the court. The student asked himself that he is not a patient person. If he enters an official career, he will have to cater to Shangguan every day. Students will not be able to get through. In this way, instead of being humiliated in the cesspool of official career, it is better to lie down at home and feel more at ease."

It is common for young people not to like to be restrained, but this boy is not even willing to be respectful to his superiors. It can be seen that beneath the surface of kindness, he is really unruly.

This is in line with the Queen Mother's judgment of Li Xian's character, which is aloof and unruly.

Seeing Li Xian's resignation, the Queen Mother pondered for a long time.

"Queen Mother, the officials are here."

Zhao Zhen came in and saluted.

"Officials don't study?" It was time for Zhao Zhen to study.

Zhao Zhen said: "Mr. Sun didn't come."

"Why?" The Queen Mother was surprised, thinking that Sun Shi had been diligent for decades and never left late or early. This is...

The Queen Mother immediately sent people to visit Sun's family.

"Alang drank too much last night." The family member said very embarrassedly.

After the poem reached the Sun family last night, Mr. Sun Shi went crazy talking, toasted to pass the test, and got very drunk.

At this moment, the old man was lying on the bed, his eyes blank as he said, "Have you found that person?"

"Not yet."

While he was talking, the visiting chamberlain came in.

"I am innocent, please atone for my sins." The old man's lifetime clock-in record was broken today. He felt a little melancholy. Thinking that the palace was well-informed, he asked about the person who composed the lyrics last night.

"It's Li Guoan."

"It's him?"

……

After the news spread, Li Xian found that he had a lot more troubles. .

"Brother Li, long time no see." An unknown man handed over his hand on the roadside.

"Long time no see!" Li Xian returned the gift.

"Li Lang." The shy girl said.

"I'll add you, thank you." Li Xian said sternly, then rushed into the house and was about to close the door with his backhand, but he heard a subtle call.Looking down, I saw a puppy clawing its way outside the threshold, struggling to crawl inside.

"Whose dog is this?" Li Xian shouted.

"Has someone lost their dog?" Li Xian asked.

The neighbors shook their heads.

"Guoan." An aunt said: "Pigs come to the poor and dogs come to the rich. This is a good sign!"

Ha!
Li Xian lowered his head, and the puppy crawled in at that moment, grabbed his trouser legs, raised its head and barked.

The puppy making milky sounds was very interesting. Li Xian picked it up and looked at it carefully.

It's a little brother.

When Xinghua returned from her inspection, she found that there was an extra puppy at home, and she was extremely happy.

Li Xian personally made a small nest for the puppy to shelter from wind and rain in the corner of the yard, and named it 'Laifu'

"I used to have a dog at home. He was very fierce and caring about his family." Reminiscence flashed in Xinghua's eyes.

"What happened next?" Li Xian asked, holding the puppy.

"I went out once and never came back." Xinghua was very angry. "They said that the neighbor's bitch lured my dog ​​away."

Therefore, whether it is a human or a dog, you must restrain your desires!

Li Xian touched the puppy's back. The puppy made a comfortable sound in its throat and fell asleep immediately.

Xinghua is a diligent person. She sweeps the floor, makes tea, and asks Li Xian what he wants for lunch.

"Can't you take a break?" Li Xian felt that this girl was too diligent.

"I have been in Bianjing for a long time, and I have forgotten many things. I just remember what my mother-in-law often said to me since I was a child." Xinghua looked up at the sky, "As long as people are diligent, they will never starve to death wherever they go."

"Yeah!" Li Xian nodded to her encouragingly. Xinghua immediately became happy and went to buy groceries with a bamboo basket.

Li Xian is enjoying the rare leisure time at home with his puppy in his arms.

Zhang Ze appeared like a ghost.

"The officials didn't come?" Li Xian was a little curious.

"The official was stopped by a palace maid in the palace today. That woman, tsk, tsk!" Zhang Ze looked confused, "She actually pretended to have a sprained leg to hook up with the official. The official didn't know it, but he still checked her seriously..."

Li Xian looked at the sky speechlessly.

"Later, the Queen Mother found out about it and drove the maid to the laundry room. The officials were a little upset and said that they had harmed the woman."

The two were silent, and Zhang Ze suddenly asked: "The officials are so kind."

"Well!" To be honest, Li Xian has never seen such a kind person in later generations. "He is treating the world with gentleness."

But throughout history, the world responded to him with endless malice.Zhang Ze nodded vigorously, "Yes, the official family is very gentle."

People can't be too gentle, otherwise they will be seen as weak and can be bullied.So later Zhao Zhen's first wife slapped him without hesitation, which triggered Zhao Zhen's first big task: to abolish the queen.

Xinghua came back in a hurry and said happily: "Lang Jun, Liu Mi, a well-known rich man here, drank too much and was throwing copper coins everywhere!"

"You didn't pick it up?" Li Xian asked with a smile.

"I picked it up." Xinghua said happily: "I have quick hands and brought a bamboo basket with me, so I picked up 31 coins."

Zhang Ze praised: "He is a lucky person."

Liu Mi was rich and unkind, and his original memory only had endless contempt for this person.

Xinghua took out the copper coins, but there were only nine coins.

"Why are there only nine coins?" Zhang Ze glanced at Li Xian.There is a saying in the palace, once you are unfaithful, you will be disloyal a hundred times.

"I wanted to take it all, but my mother said that you should not take any of your own money. I thought about it carefully. That time when Liu Mi was traveling, the carriage wheel hit my foot, and my shoes were just right. It was nine coins. So I took nine coins and put the rest in front of him."

Xinghua raised her head and said in confusion: "Mr. Lang, am I a little stupid?"

Li Xian looked at her and suddenly smiled, "Yes."

……

The Queen Mother's birthday celebration was very lively and large-scale, and it was said that it was no less than the official birthday celebration.

Zhao Zhen warmly invited Li Xian to a banquet in the palace, but Li Xian declined.

Shui Tiao Ge Tou is in hot demand at the moment. In the words of later generations, this song has been No. 1 on the Bianjing hot search list for a long time, and he doesn't want to join in the fun.

After lunch, Li Xian went for a walk along the Cai River to eat as usual.

A middle-aged man came over and saluted with a smile, "Liu Mi has met Li Langjun."

"Oh!" Li Xian glanced at Liu Mi, "What's the matter?"

The hot search list has a lot of energy, and Li Xian has been quite popular in Lao Yaxiang recently.

"I was so stupid before that I crushed your servant's shoes. I felt uneasy. This is... someone!" Liu Mi turned around and waved, and a servant came over with a wooden box.

The wooden box looks simple and unremarkable.

"This is my apology. It's not for anything else. It's just because Li Langjun suppressed the power of the Liao envoy with one poem. After I heard about it, I immediately drank heavily. No, after drinking too much, I became ugly."

Li Xian shook his head, "No need."

"Li Langjun looks down on me?" Liu Mi opened the wooden box. Inside was a jade-carved fish, which was very gentle and lively.

Li Xian nodded, "Yes!"

Liu Mi: "..."

Li Xian walked onto the first bridge and watched the water boats pouring in from outside the city.

In the afternoon, Zhao Zhen came in a hurry and said angrily: "Someone from the Imperial City Department came to report that Liu Mi was colluding with others and was preparing to impeach you for extorting money from wealthy households on the grounds of sending jade fish."

Li Xian felt that he was a little careless, but fortunately his instinct prompted him to reject Liu Mi's apology.

"The eldest lady said that the water-melody song made you steal the limelight. Now that you have gained the limelight, you should prepare to be stabbed next."

The Queen Mother said this as casually and cordially as the aunt next door, which made Li Xian think about it for a long time.

This is Xiangzhuang's sword dance, intended for Pei Gong.Want to attack Zhao Zhen by attacking him.

Pei Gong was still happily teasing Laifu with Xinghua, and the puppy lay helplessly, exposing its belly to the two of them.

This is trust and surrender.

"Where's Liu Mi?" Li Xian asked.

Zhao Zhen heard the evil spirit, "Why are you angry? I have always felt that you are like a thousand-year-old fox, unwilling to get angry easily, I didn't expect it!"

"Did I deserve to get angry with those people in the past?" Li Xian stood up.

"That guy is still at home dreaming of meeting senior officials." Zhao Zhen said, "Let's go together."

"I'll go too!" Xinghua raised her hand.

"Woof woof woof..." Laifu stood up and offered his loyalty to the family master.

Liu Mi was drinking at home, accompanied by two invited female prostitutes.

As they drank drunkenly, the three of them gradually became dissolute.

Bah!
The door was kicked open from the outside. Liu Mi raised his head from the prostitute's chest and cursed: "Fight him out!"

When the smoke dispersed, Liu Mi saw Li Xian outside the door.

"Li Langjun, rare visitor, rare visitor!" Liu Mi stood up, but his legs were a little weak.

Li Xian stretched out his hand, and Zhao Zhen's guard handed him the wooden stick.

Zhao Zhen said excitedly: "You don't want to beat him up, do you?"

The boy who has always followed the rules since birth can't help but want to get involved.

Li Xian walked over, kicked Liu Mi over, and hit the two prostitutes with a stick while they screamed.

"Ow!"

Liu Mi's legs were broken and dragged to the street.

Li Xian pounded the wooden stick and said solemnly: "Those ground rats are the most bullying of the weak and afraid of the strong. If you don't be ruthless, they will think that you are weak and can be bullied."

He glanced at Zhao Zhen and said, "What's important as a human being? I won't offend others unless they offend me. If they offend me, I will offend them!"

If you want to take a bite of me, be prepared to have your legs broken with a stick from me.

The crowd of onlookers let out a cry of surprise.

Somewhere in Bianjing, a wine glass shattered on the ground.

"waste!"
