Chapter 176

When Wang Pingan heard Li Zhi's question about writing poetry, he quickly said: "Caomin was weak and sick when he was young. After the enlightenment, the family didn't hire a teacher again, so he only wrote doggerel, and he didn't have much research on poetry and poetry."

This is said with both humility and no arrogance. He said that he can write poems, but he also said that he didn't study it deeply. It's shameful, I haven't looked into it!

Doggerel, but not everyone can write it, just like the three and a half sentences of later generations, it is not skill to write it, but it is ability to make people laugh!
Unexpectedly, Li Zhi was taken aback, and said, "A doggerel, is it a poem read during the doggerel? You read one for Gu to listen to!"

The doggerel is a new style of poetry produced in the Tang Dynasty, but it has not yet been produced at that time, and it is not a poem read during the doggerel.Wang Pingan made a mistake about the year and said it in advance!

Really test me!Wang Pingan had no choice but to follow Li Zhi's words and continued: "Caomin didn't receive any good education when he was a child, and he was not very good at writing poems. Once an oil seller passed by in front of his house, and Caomin had a whim, so he Made a poem indiscriminately, the style of the poem is very straightforward, it is difficult to be elegant!"

Li Zhi snorted, and said in surprise: "You created your own poetry style, so it should be called Ping'an Poetry. How auspicious the name is, why bother to call it doggerel!"

He turned around and looked around in the hall, and saw a painting hanging on the wall not far away. The mountains were far away and the water was frozen. , seemed to be worrying about not being able to fish, holding a big stick in his hand, as if he was going to fish in the ice, and the fisherman was accompanied by two old dogs, both of which were starving and skinny, staggeringly following their master.

This is a freehand painting, warning the rulers that the people have no food and clothing at this time and need your care. There are many paintings with this meaning in the Chongxian Hall.

Pointing to the painting, Li Zhi said, "Let's take this painting as the title, you can write a poem and listen to it!"

Wang Pingan complained in his heart. If I had known this, I would have said that I could not write poetry, but could only prescribe medicine. It seems that I was not modest enough just now, and I was asked to write a poem!
He hummed, bit his lip, and said, "This... well, Jiang Shang is a cage, Inoue is a black cave cage, the yellow dog is white, and the white dog is swollen!" Proposing a poem is too difficult, he can only think This one is out.

Li Zhi was taken aback, and looked at the eunuch next to him, and the eunuch was also taken aback, it was the first time they both heard such a poem, they had never heard of it before!

After being stunned for a moment, Li Zhi laughed out loud, leaning back and forth, rattling loudly, without the dignity of His Royal Highness, the eunuch also looked at Wang Pingan, wanted to hold back, but couldn't hold back his laughter, hehe several times, but couldn't hold back his laughter. Cough!

Li Zhi said with a smile: "Unbelievable, I heard two good poems today. This poem by you without illness is enough to establish a school and make your name go down to future generations!"

The eunuch laughed and said, "The yellow dog is white, and the white dog is swollen! It also rhymes, but it's too straightforward!"

Li Zhi laughed for a while, pulled Wang Pingan to sit down, and wanted him to make another song, but a little eunuch came to report outside the door, saying that the emperor wanted to see Li Zhi.

As soon as he heard his father's call, Li Zhi's smile suddenly disappeared, he was a little scared, and asked the eunuch: "Patriotic, what do you think will happen if the father calls for an orphan at this time?"

The eunuch said: "If you go back to Your Highness, it's almost noon at this time, the emperor probably wants to have a meal, please ask His Highness to accompany you, by the way, let me ask you about your homework!"

Li Zhi showed a sad face, and said: "It's fine if you take the test of endorsement, but every time the father always takes the test of current affairs, he has to criticize some memorials alone, but this thing can't be done alone. Trained?"

He was not afraid of losing face, and in a panic, he actually told the truth in front of Wang Ping'an!

Wang Ping'an can't talk too much about this kind of royal affairs. No matter what he says is right or wrong, he is very annoying. He is a commoner, and he has not yet been an official. Isn't it just looking for a draw!

Wang Pingan lowered his head and sat on the Panlong pier without making a sound.

But the eunuch said: "Your Highness, don't wait for the emperor to ask, take the initiative..." Looking at Wang Pingan next to him, he smiled and said: "The yellow dog is white, and the white dog is swollen!"

Li Zhi was immediately happy, clapping his hands and saying: "That's right, Wang Aiqing wrote a good poem, I just read it to my father, and the new poem, my father will be happy to hear it, and I can escape it today." A catastrophe!"

Wang Ping'an was embarrassed to hear that, the prince was really afraid of the emperor, and even said such a thing in front of himself, an outsider. It's no wonder that he would be manipulated by Wu Zetian in the future. This temperament...is too childish .That's right, suffocating in the palace, surrounded by eunuchs or women, even if you don't want to have children!

"It's a coincidence today that Gu is leaving. Wang Aiqing, you should go back too. In the future, come to the palace to see Gu and relieve Gu's boredom!" Li Zhi would never have thought of the song "A Thousand Miles of Jiangling" "Return in one day" will be written by Wang Pingan. He needs to know that someone who can write such quatrains can also write "The body of the white dog is swollen".
Wang Pingan hurriedly got up and said, "Yes, the grassroots are leaving!" He stepped back and left the Xianchong hall.The eunuch was very polite, and actually sent it out in person.

Out of the main hall, the eunuch said: "No disease, it seems that His Highness likes you very much, he hasn't smiled so happily for a long time. You should come to the palace frequently in the future, so that His Highness sees you often, it's good for you There will be great benefits in the future!"

He paused, and then said: "It's just that if His Highness doesn't summon you, you can't enter the palace. Alas, Your Highness is busy with things, and I often can't remember some things, so we have to remind..." When he said this, He didn't look at Wang Ping'an, and seemed to be talking to himself.

But Wang Pingan understood that this was asking for benefits. The prince needs to be reminded to "remember" someone, so who will remind the prince?
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Wang Pingan took out a small bag from his bosom, stuffed it into the eunuch, and said, "Have you dared to ask what your name is?"

The eunuch put the pouch in his sleeve casually, and said with a smile, "Our family history is patriotic. You are free from illness. You will have a long way to go in the future, so you have to take care of our family!" Such a young man who knows how to be a man will certainly have a long future.

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "Master Shi is joking, you are the one to take care of me!" He cupped his hands and left the Chongxian Hall.

After Shi Aiguo waited for him to leave, he opened the pouch, took a look, and took a deep breath, and saw that there were more than a dozen pearls in the pouch, each of which was the size of a little finger.He heyed, and said with a smile: "Diliueryuan, our family didn't say good things for him just now!"

Wang Ping'an came out of the Chongxian Pavilion, saw Mi Xiaomiao waiting outside the door, and said, "Master Mi, wait for me, it's a hot day..."

Mi Xiaomiao waved her hand and asked, "What did His Highness tell you?"

Wang Ping'an said: "I didn't say anything." He briefly said a few words about what happened in the palace, and then asked: "Master Mi, you are familiar with the Mr. Shi who is in front of His Royal Highness, I think he is good." It's very talkative in front of the prince!"

Mi Xiaomiao's eyes widened immediately, and said: "Of course, he is my god-uncle, my god-father's brother!"

The two of them were talking, and they arrived at the gate of the palace. Wang Ping'an said, "Master Mi has such a good relationship. Who is your father?"

Mi Xiaomiao said very proudly: "If you want to talk about my godfather, that's great. He is the chief steward of the palace, Shi Zhongchen, the regular servant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!" He stretched out three fingers, and said: "The emperor rewarded you very well." Third-rank official rank, right third-rank!"

Wang Ping'an was taken aback. Can eunuchs become such a big official at this time?He always thought that the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were the most powerful. In fact, the most powerful eunuchs in history were in the Tang Dynasty. The eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty depended on the emperor's favor to be powerful, but the eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty were not like this. They simply abolished the emperor. !It's just that there is no word eunuch at this time, and they are collectively called eunuchs!

Mi Xiaomiao looked around and said in a low voice: "Mr. Wuji has the final say outside, but inside is my godfather's loyal minister. Even if the concubines want to see the emperor, my godfather has to nod! "

Wang Ping'an snorted, thinking: "So Wu Zetian has to go through Shi Zhongchen's test first if he wants to sleep with Li Shimin at this time!" Isn't there a talented person named Wu?"

Mi Xiaomiao snorted, shook her head and said, "What kind of surnames are five and six, such a young talent, where can I find out, don't inquire about the affairs of the inner court!"

Wang Pingan smiled and said: "It's Ping An who is reckless, Mr. Mi, don't blame him!" As they spoke, they had already walked out of the palace gate, Wang Pingan and Mi Xiaomiao bid farewell, got into the car and left.

Returning to Lingling Temple, I talked about it with Hamidi and others. Everyone was disappointed when they heard that the prince did not reward him with any benefits. They comforted Wang Pingan.

Hamit Aydin, Zhao Bi and Lu Xiuzhi all had property in Beijing and left Lingling Temple one after another, but Qiu Tingxuan refused to live here and went to find a place by himself.As a result, only Wang Ping'an and his entourage were left in the temple, plus Di Renjie!

Di Renjie looked at Wang Ping'an in the wrong way. He had already heard Hamidi's publicity, saying that Wang Ping'an was amazing, with superb medical skills, and predicted that he would be the champion next year.After hearing these words, he thought it was impossible for him not to look strange!

Di Renjie pulled Wang Pingan past him and said, "Brother, since you are so famous in the local area, you have a quota of students, and you were summoned by the prince. Others have a tortuous path to become an official, but your path has already been paved for you by others. Why do you still want to take the medical exam? Even if you are as talented as I am, you refuse to take the miscellaneous subjects, but if you follow the Mingjing, with your elder brother's talent and learning, if you don't take the Jinshi exam, wouldn't it be a waste of a great opportunity?"

Wang Pingan frowned and thought to himself: "Why does everyone suggest that I should take the Jinshi exam? Could it be that I really wronged myself when I took the medical exam? A man should give it a try, fight for a high position, so that he can stand out?"

Di Renjie persuaded: "Brother, my younger brother also has a quota for students. I was supposed to report to Shangshu Province today, but I have been waiting for you to come back. Otherwise, let's go together some other day. You should think about it carefully, what should you take the exam for?" , do you like it?"

Wang Pingan sighed, and said: "It is true that you should think about it carefully. To tell you the truth, brother, I don't like to change my mind when I do things for my brother. If you make up your mind, you will not change it under normal circumstances. As for whether to take the entrance examination or the examination Medicine, I really have to think carefully!"

He walked up and down the yard, undecided.But the little girl Ding Danruo ran over and said: "Master, let's not stay in the temple, it's too boring, we finally came to Chang'an, let's go to the Furong Garden for a stroll!"

Wang Ping'an thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine, I'm feeling upset, so let's go out and relax, everyone. Go to Chang'an Night Market and taste some delicious snacks!"

Hearing what he said, naturally everyone was overjoyed, and Ouyang Li and others were even more happy. The Furong Garden is located by the Qujiang Pool, and it has always been a place where girls in Beijing often go. Moreover, when summer comes, the girls wear less clothes and are full of vigor. The old men love this kind of weather the most. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone squeezed together and rubbed against each other!

When they went out to play, they naturally couldn't take monks with them. After greeting Huizheng, everyone didn't ride horses or carts. They hurried out of Lingling Temple and walked towards the southeast corner of Chang'an.

Furong Garden is not far from Lingling Temple, and it can be reached by walking straight for three miles. Everyone was talking and laughing, and after a while, they walked through two lanes.Just as he was about to continue walking, Ouyang Li said: "Master, let's avoid the square in front. Although we will take a few more steps, it won't disturb you any more."

Wang Pingan frowned and said, "How do you say that?"

Ouyang Li pointed to the front and said, "Going forward, you will find the Human City! Furong Garden is a paradise on earth, but the Human City is a hell on earth. The distance between heaven and hell is only one square away!"

Wang Ping'an said, stopped, looked at the crowd, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Others didn't have any ideas, and they all listened to him, but Di Renjie said: "Brother, my generation of scholars should put the people's worries first. Since we are in the market, why should we close our eyes and not look in? Could it be that we pretend to read See, there is no such thing as selling children and selling daughters in this world?"

Wang Pingan sighed, thinking: "Brother, you always give me problems!" He nodded and said: "Okay, then go and have a look. Danruo, Lianwu, do you have any money with you?"

Ding Danruo glared at Di Renjie, everyone came out to have fun, not to make trouble, why should they go to Renshi.She shook her head and said, "No money!"

But Ke Lianwu said: "Your servant has brought it!" She and Ding Danruo were fighting openly and secretly, always twisting their voices when speaking and doing things.

"Let's go, then let's go!" Wang Pingan had no choice but to lead everyone to the market.

After a short walk, I saw a big place with thousands of impoverished people sitting or standing, all of them looked miserable, with straw labels on their heads, they seemed to be treated as goods sell.And in the meantime, there are many slaves, shouting and drinking, picking slaves for their masters!
There is no human market in Xuzhou, and he didn't stay in Luoyang for a long time. This is the first time Wang Pingan has seen what is called a human market. It is clearly a slave market, a hell on earth!

Sighing again, Wang Ping'an said, "I seem to be sighing a lot today."

But Di Renjie said: "Brother sighed, it means that he has people in his heart and sympathizes with suffering. If you only see prosperity but not misery, then why do you bother to read sage books and take imperial examinations?"

Wang Pingan turned to look at him and said, "Brother, you will be great in the future. If you say that I can be a prime minister, that is... Hey, but if you say that you can do it, I believe it!"

While he was talking, he suddenly heard a child not far away crying loudly, crying and screaming, but he couldn't understand what he was calling!
But there was a lot of laughter from the slaves nearby, and some taunted: "All the barbarians here say that their surname is Ashina, that's all. There are even people called Father King, could it be that their surname is Father's name?" Will the king succeed?"

Some even said with a smile: "It's easy to sell if you say your surname is Ashina. Could it be that you say your surname is Tuoba, which is not popular now!"
