Changsheng opens treasure chests everywhere

Chapter 428

In the early morning of the next day, Li Longji only felt dizzy and weak. He passed the diagnosis and treatment to the imperial physician, saying that he had suffered from a cold.

I think it was last night that I was startled in a cold sweat before going to bed, and that's why I got sick.Then he couldn't help but think of Mi Xiaoxia's words again, Li Longji sighed again.

Because of illness, there was no morning court today, so Li Longji ordered someone to send Yang Yuhuan to serve him.Yang Yuhuan nearly died by Mi Xiaoxia's sword last night, but now he is in no mood, and excuses that he is sick and cannot see him.

"The beauty is also sick?"

Hearing the reply, Li Longji was startled, and couldn't help becoming more upset.

"Come on, it's really rude for Li Bai to be drunk in the palace. Remove him from his official position, give him a hundred gold, and let him go back to his hometown."

There is no place to get angry, thinking of Li Bai who was presumptuous in the hall yesterday, Li Longji demoted him to a commoner by an imperial decree.

Li Longji felt happier. Li Bai had just sobered up here when he suddenly received an imperial edict.As an imperial literati, I have always felt that there is nowhere to display my talents and learning, but at least in front of the emperor, I will have a chance sooner or later.At this time, he was suddenly demoted, his official career was interrupted in an instant, and he was depressed in an instant.

"...Alas! Forget it!"

Holding the imperial decree in his hand, Li Bai was stunned for a while, then heaved a long sigh, and left Chang'an with a flick of his sleeves.

Although he lost his official position, Li Longji was still righteous and gave Li Bai 100 taels of gold.With this money, it is enough for Li Bai to drink and travel around.

At this time, he was in a bad mood and simply wandered around.I don't have a specific goal either, basically just wherever I go.After nearly a month, this day came to Jinling.

There are many scenic spots in the ancient city of Jinling, so Li Bai simply found an inn to stay and planned to take a leisurely tour.After playing for a few days, I heard that there is a Phoenix Mountain. A phoenix once appeared, which was extremely miraculous.

When we arrived at Fenghuang Mountain, there was a Fenghuang Terrace on the mountain. Standing on it, we could see the river in the distance.Looking at the long river and the scenery of Fenghuang Mountain, Li Bai couldn't help his poetic enthusiasm, and immediately wrote a poem "Climbing the Phoenix Terrace in Jinling".

The phoenix swims on the phoenix platform.

Wu Gong flowers and grass buried in the path, Jin Dynasty clothing crown into an ancient hill.

Three mountains and half outside the blue sky, the second water divides Bailuzhou.

It is always because the clouds can cover the sun, and Chang'an is not worrying.

Originally it was Yong Jing, but after all, he had just been dismissed from office, so he couldn't let it go for a while.So in the last two sentences, I unconsciously began to lament the current government.

"Good poetry! Good poetry!"

Li Bai was depressed here, when suddenly there was a sound of applause and admiration from the side.Li Bai turned his head and glanced at a young man with a hairy head.

In fact, this man is already 30 years old, but Li Bai is 11 years older than him, so he looks young.

"Brother, you have a good literary talent! Good poetry!"

When the man came to him, there was another burst of admiration, his eyes were almost sparkling, and he looked at Li Bai excitedly.

"It's not very good to do it casually, it's just to relieve boredom once in a while."

Li Bai waved his hand, thinking that this poem is just passable, far worse than his previous ones.This young man has no knowledge, if he is reciting "Quiet Night Thoughts" or "Send Meng Haoran to Guangling", I don't know how excited this person will be.

"You can have this excellent work by picking it up at your fingertips. You are really talented, brother."

"Seeing that you are also a scholar, don't bother to praise me, and write a poem."

"This... ok!"

Li Bai thought this person was annoying, so he said this on purpose.But unexpectedly, this person agreed.

Li Bai looked at him sideways, thinking that this man really dared to come.Although this song "Climbing Jinling Phoenix Terrace" is mediocre, it is already a masterpiece for ordinary people.With pearls and jade in front of him, how dare this person throw bricks?
"Then I will also use the Phoenix Terrace as the theme and write a poem."

The pavilion is Phoenix Terrace, facing Xikangzhou in the north.

Xibo is lonely today, and the sound of the phoenix is ​​also leisurely.

……

Let the Zhongxing industry shine again, and the worries of the common people will be washed away.

Sincerely because of this, the bandits He Yan stayed.

"Hey, what a poem!"

At first he looked down on this young man, but when he finished reciting this five-character ancient poem, Li Bai's eyes lit up.The fourteenth sentence is completed in one go, with the same care for the country and the people.In comparison, it is definitely not inferior to his song "Climbing Jinling Phoenix Terrace"!
"Brother, dare to ask Gao's name."

Feeling like meeting a confidant in an instant, Li Bai slightly bowed his hands, his attitude already extremely polite.

"Dare not, my surname is Du Mingfu, style name Zimei, from Xiangyang."

The young man reported his name and place of origin, and then bowed his hands.

"Haven't you consulted your brother yet?"

"Oh, my surname is Li and my name is Bai, and the character is Taibai..."

"Ah! My God! You are Li Bai!"

Li Bai was about to introduce his hometown here, when the young man suddenly exclaimed, his eyes were filled with little stars.

Li Bai was called the "Poetry Immortal" by later generations. At this time, he was over [-] years old and had already published many excellent works, and he was already very famous in the whole Tang Dynasty.

And this young man is Du Fu, the future 'poet sage'!Among later generations, the only great poet who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Li Bai!But he is still relatively young and his reputation is not obvious.

As the saying goes, like attracts like, it is also full of talent.For Li Bai, a senior, Du Fu has always admired and worshiped him very much.I didn't expect to meet an idol when I visited Fenghuang Terrace today.The poet sage of later generations turned into a little fan in an instant.

"Li Bai Li Bai, I still want to write a poem now."

"Brother Zimei, hurry up and chant it, it must be a superb masterpiece."

"Yeah, this poem is called 'To Li Bai'!"

"Um, Brother Zimei, you don't have to be so excited."

……

In this era, by chance, two great poets met, but the atmosphere was a little awkward.

After a while, fortunately, the excitement of seeing the idol calmed down a little, and Du Fu finally returned to normal.Although 11 years younger than Li Bai, they are equally talented, and the two talked about each other as equals.

"Brother Taibai, what are your plans for the future?"

"I am also unofficial and light-hearted. I plan to travel around and visit great rivers and mountains. At the same time, I also learn from the ancients to visit immortals and seek Taoism."

"Brother Taibai is really in a good mood. I happen to have nothing to do, why don't I go around with Brother Taibai."

"It's so good. It's really a great thing in life to have Brother Zimei as your company."

……

The more they chatted, the more speculative they became, and they simply agreed to travel together.After walking around Phoenix Mountain, it was already noon, and I felt a little hungry.Down the mountain together again, looking for a place to eat.

"Brother Taibai, there is a small restaurant there, why don't you go there and eat something."

"It's just that I don't know if there is any wine. I have to meet Brother Zimei today. It would be even better if there is good wine to add to the fun."

The two of them talked and walked directly into the roadside shop.I saw that the store was not big, with only two tables. An old man with white beard was the owner of the store, and he was drowsy sitting on a small bench.

"Shopkeeper, do you have anything to eat?"

"Shopkeeper, do you have good wine!"

The two sat down and greeted the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper came back to his senses with a jerk, only to realize that a customer had arrived.

“Small shop, no alcohol.”

The owner poured two bowls of tea and said with a smile.

"But the steamed yellow rice will be ready in a quarter of an hour, and it can satisfy your hunger with side dishes."

"This...well, that's it."

No drinks, no decent meals, it's really not beautiful.But there is only such a small shop for a few miles around here, and the two of them are very hungry, so they can only nod in agreement.

The owner nodded and went back with the kettle.The two continued to chat, really feeling like they met each other late.

But for some reason, while chatting and watching the white steam of yellow rice on the stove, I suddenly felt sleepy.The next moment, the two of them lay down on the table and fell asleep in the sunlight outside the door.

"Hey, Your Majesty finally discovered my talent and granted me the prefect of Suzhou!"

Li Bai woke up suddenly, but found that he was already in Suzhou, and he was named the governor of Suzhou, allowing him to govern one side.

Why did he come here suddenly, and why was he suddenly appointed as an official?Li Bai didn't want to think too much, and then took office.

At this time, the world is peaceful and prosperous, but there are too many affairs in a state.In order to make political achievements, Li Bai did everything by himself, no matter how big or small.

All my thoughts are spent on government affairs, and I only sleep for two hours a day.After three years in this way, under Li Bai's governance, Suzhou has already prospered in all industries and never closed its doors at night.

But at this time, Li Bai, because he was too tired, was only 44 years old, and he had already given birth to Huafa early.

But fortunately, he was rewarded, and Li Longji issued an imperial decree, transferring Li Bai to Chang'an, and entrusting him with important tasks again.

Next, Li Bai worked hard and worked hard, and Li Longji was also very satisfied with his performance, and kept adding officials and ranks to him.

Ten years later, the 54-year-old Li Bai was already an official prime minister.

"I am the prime minister?"

One person is under one person and over ten thousand people, Li Bai couldn't react for a while.

But don't allow Li Bai to think too much, the next step is more busy government affairs.And with a high position, there are no small things at this time, and everything is related to the life and death of hundreds of millions of people.

Li Bai didn't dare to slack off even more, so by the second year, his body was riddled with many diseases.Li Bai, who is only 55 years old, looks like he is 80 or [-] years old, and he keeps coughing up blood.

Even so, Li Bai still dedicated himself.As a result, I struggled for another year and finally fell ill.

"Aiqing, take good care of your illness, and don't worry about North Korea-China affairs."

On the sickbed, watching Li Longji leave, Li Bai suddenly fell into a daze.

"What have I been doing for the past ten years?"

Looking back, in the past ten years, he seems to have been in the never-ending government affairs.Only then did he suddenly realize that he hadn't written poetry for seven or eight years.

Looking around again, except for a few servants, the wife and children are not around.He has a high position and authority, but he neglects the discipline of his children, and all of them have become playboys. Now he doesn't know where to enjoy himself.As for those wives, I'm afraid they are all thinking about his family property now.

"What on earth am I..."

Li Bai suddenly fell into confusion, and then his vision became more and more blurred...

"No! I don't want to do this!"

With an exclamation, Li Bai suddenly woke up.But looking at it now, he is still in that small shop in the mountains.

"Brother Taibai, are you dreaming too?"

At this time, Du Fu on the opposite side looked at him, also sweating coldly.

"Are you dreaming too?"

Li Bai nodded, and then asked.

"What did you dream about?"

"Fighting on the battlefield, defending the family and the country, but in the end he was framed by treacherous ministers and died."

Du Fu's mouth was bitter, and his expression was a little ugly.

"I'm better than you, no, I'm not."

Li Bai nodded, thinking about his dream, he couldn't help being afraid for a while.

"Two, the yellow rice is cooked."

At this time, the shopkeeper came over, put down two bowls of yellow rice, and said with a smile.

"So what if you are successful and famous, so what if you make great achievements. Is it just a dream? Even in reality, so what, look at me."

"You? Who are you?"

"My name is Zhang Jiuling."

The old man smiled and continued.

"Now he's just an old man."
