Civil servants of the Tang Dynasty

"This is what you left behind when you went to Daocheng that day." Old Master Yan, who turned around and walked back from the bookshelf, was holding a wooden ruler, the wooden ruler he gave Tang Cheng that day, "Since you didn't bring it, I will took it back again."

Seeing this ruler and hearing Old Master Yan's words made Tang Cheng ashamed. What a fool, why did he forget this thing that Old Master Yan gave him to guard himself.

Silently, Old Master Yan didn't say anything, Tang Cheng already stretched out his hand consciously.

With a crisp sound of "snap", the ruler hit Tang Cheng's hand hard, and the only four-word admonition from Old Master Yan fell along with the ruler, "Beware of arrogance and impetuosity".

"Guard from arrogance and impetuosity", the short words sounded like heavy drums in Tang Cheng's heart. At this moment, he finally understood what was wrong in Dao City.

Arrogant, impetuous!Everything he gained in Daocheng, from his fame to his chance to improve the Shi Ke and get the imperial examination, was all due to those poems.However, none of these poems is his own composition.As a time traveler, in order to pursue his ideal, Tang Cheng did not regret borrowing these poems.What makes him reflect at this moment is his mentality when dealing with the things behind these borrowed poems.

Although I don't regret borrowing poems, it does not mean that I can be complacent about the fame and praise it brings. Stealing is always stealing. Although I don't feel ashamed of this matter, it will never be so honorable that I am so proud of it. complacent.

False is true when it is true and it is false. Although the world is like this, if you treat yourself the same way, you will inevitably have undue pride and impetuosity. When this old habit becomes more and more serious, a person who loses himself Man is bound to fail in the end.

To prevent the passing of time, before Tang Cheng is about to embark on the journey to Chang'an, this ruler is nothing less than enlightenment!

Three days later, Tang Cheng bid farewell to his family with complicated emotions and left Jinzhou.

Ten days later, Tang Cheng, who had settled everything in Daocheng, officially set off for Chang'an.

So far, after traveling to Tang Dynasty for two years, Tang Cheng left Shannan Dongdao for the first time in a real sense, and this will surely be the beginning of a new stage of his life.

Chapter 181

The gold list hangs high with the surname true, and it is clear that a branch of spring has been folded.

Pengying first picks up the fairy couple, and Jianghai returns to think of farming and fishing.

[-] Tuan Tuan wings, ten years of hard work.

When the festival is fair during the Shengping period, I don't realize that Longmen is a dangerous city.

Meng Haoran and Zhang Xiangwen were not eligible for this year's rural tribute students, and Tang Cheng was delayed returning home for some time, and was unable to go with other Taoist candidates. Therefore, when he went to Chang'an to take the exam this time, he only had Can be alone.

When Tang Cheng bid farewell to the long pavilion ten miles outside Daocheng, it was already late autumn.

The autumn wind is bleak and the weather is cool, the vegetation shakes and the dew turns to frost, and the geese resign to Yan Nanxiang!It was already cold, and wild geese were flying south. In the bleak autumn wind, Tang Cheng, who only had Laifu as his entourage, whipped his horse and flew northward.

Go west from Daocheng on the east road of Shannan, turn west to Liangzhou on the west road of Shannan, turn west and turn north, and then go straight north along the official road. On this road, you will encounter shops and sleep at night. After half a month, you finally step on the new gate of the imperial capital. Feng County is only a stone's throw away from Chang'an, the city of gold.

That night, Tang Cheng ate a meal of tea and rice with the hot boiling wine in the inn, took a solid hot bath, and went to bed early after washing away the dust.

After a good night's sleep, Tang Cheng felt refreshed when he woke up the next morning. After breakfast, he and Laifu rode straight out of Xinfeng County.

Not long after leaving the city, Tang Cheng could vaguely see a wide wooden bridge over the clear water in front of him. There are countless willows beside the bridge, but the willow branches are very short, and there is a ten-mile long pavilion at the other end of the bridge. People get together to make tea or warm wine.

Chang'an faces the Qinling Mountains in the south; the Wei River in the north; the Feng and Zao Ershui in the west;

"Baqiao", the first moment he saw the bridge, Tang Cheng, who was sitting upright on his horse, couldn't help uttering these two words, saying that this bridge was the first time he saw it, but as early as a thousand years later, But already heard its name.

To say that the most famous bridge in the Tang Dynasty is probably the Baqiao, which is located ten miles outside Chang'an City. There is nothing unusual about this bridge from a distance, but it is indeed a great scenic spot in Chang'an. Most of the long-distance trips are sent off here, so there are almost always crowds of people by this bridge 360 ​​days a year.

And because of this, many poets have seen off guests here on the side of the bridge, leaving countless farewell poems. After hundreds of years of changes, Baqiao is just like the Tongque Terrace built by Wei Wudi Cao Cao, which has changed from a simple wooden bridge. The abstraction became a specific cultural symbol, and Tang Cheng stood in front of him, truly feeling the feeling of stepping into history.

Once you cross this bridge, you will officially enter Chang'an.

"The willows are full of smoke in the spring of Baqiao, climbing and turning into pedestrians every year." After stopping for a moment, these two lines of poems suddenly appeared in his mind. Tang Cheng quietly admired the scenery of Baqiao for a while and then drove his horse forward. The noise could be faintly heard, but the willow trees beside the bridge ahead were all bare without branches.

Yiyi sends you off no matter the distance, youth goes to live with wicker.

The homophony of "Liu" in willow is because the willow tree is easy to live and can be grown by cutting branches. As a gift, this willow branch is indispensable.It is also because of this that the willow branches on the side of the Baqiao are so bare.

From the moment he saw Baqiao, Tang Cheng, who had been galloping all the way before, tightened his reins. He walked slowly and watched carefully.For a traveler who studied ancient literature later and had infinite yearning for the prosperous Tang Dynasty, although Tang Cheng never admitted that he was a literati and poet, when he was about to step into Chang'an, he still couldn't hide the surge in his heart. The nostalgia of visiting ancient times.

so far so good!The Baqiao in front of him, as well as the bare willow branches on one side of the Baqiao, are all as recorded in later history books. At the moment when the horse under his crotch stepped onto the Baqiao, Tang Cheng suddenly seemed to walk into a pair of In the "Prosperous Chang'an Map", which has been passed down for thousands of years, the boring square characters seen in later generations are all flowing vividly at this time.

After traveling for more than two years, Tang Cheng has unknowingly branded Tang people in many aspects, so he will not make a fuss. When he went to Yangzhou at this time last year, although Wu Yujun described Yangzhou city as a hype, Tang Cheng really After seeing it in person, it was mediocre, because Yangzhou in the Tang Dynasty was famous for its prosperity.However, for Tang Cheng, who has been to Shanghai, Beijing and other places many times in later generations, Yangzhou at this time is far inferior in terms of prosperity.

The feeling of going to Yangzhou was not exciting, but when he walked across the Baqiao and finally saw Chang'an City from a distance, Tang Cheng, who has seen some great things in his later life, couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his heart.

The reason why his mood was shaken was because of the city in front of him.The cities in later generations have long lost their city walls, and what they saw after traveling through the Tang Dynasty were mostly small city walls. Therefore, when this city of Chang'an, bathed in the rising sun, was twenty miles long and seventeen miles wide, it suddenly appeared When in front of Tang Cheng, a huge visual impact came from this majestic.

Later generations were amazed when they saw the huge castles in the "Lord of the Rings" movie, but compared with the heroic city in front of them, those castles in "The Lord of the Rings" look as ridiculous as a matchbox.Blocks of city bricks built a giant city that could not be seen at a glance on the flat ground. After years of erosion, those green bricks had already turned into a dark color at this time. One thing was too big, especially if it was still as dark as before. The Big Mac can always subconsciously produce a sense of coercion visually, and Tang Chengcheng feels this way at this time.

No wonder the history books show that the city of Xi'an in the Qing Dynasty was only one-seventh the size of Chang'an in Tang Dynasty. After the washed out dark color and the sun's rays, the whole city inexplicably has a majestic majesty and a heavy vastness.

Tang Cheng, who had crossed the Baqiao, stayed in Mayuan for a long time to watch quietly, and then continued to move forward. After traveling for more than ten miles, the two of them had arrived at Mingde Gate, the largest of the twelve gates in Chang'an.

The Mingde Gate, which is several feet high, has five wide gates, each of which can accommodate four carriages, standing side by side, and people of all colors flow through it, but they go their own way.At that time, the sun was just rising, and thousands of rays of light shone on the endless city walls, and the glazed gate towers on the city gates reflected the golden brilliance, making Chang'an in front of you suddenly transformed into a golden city that should only appear in the wonderland of fairy mountains. After witnessing such a wonderful scene, Tang Cheng finally understood and intuitively felt the origin of the name "City of Gold".

Tang Cheng's performance was better. Outside Mingde's gate, there were many people like Tang Cheng who came to Chang'an for the first time at this time. Aboriginal people of different races bowed their heads and worshiped in front of the city, saying that "miracles" were endless.

Tang Cheng's temperament is not frivolous, but when he saw the scene in front of him at this moment, he couldn't help feeling proud in his heart.

After checking the "Guo Suo" at the city gate, passing through the city gate that is more than 150 meters long, the first thing Tang Cheng sees is Zhuque Street. This main street, which can be called the central axis of Chang'an City, is more than [-] meters wide. , which is twice as wide as Chang'an Avenue in front of Tiananmen Square in the capital of later generations, and this width just complements the tall and towering city walls.

When he arrived in Chang'an, Tang Cheng's most intuitive feeling was that everything he saw seemed to be large in size.And it is this kind of specific and small bigness that props up the grand and majestic atmosphere of Chang'an.

As soon as you enter Mingde Gate and step onto Zhuque Street, you will see a bustling crowd in front of you. It is not an exaggeration to say that the cars are like flowing water and the horses are like a dragon. ; there were also the sons of rich families in fresh clothes and angry horses, who roared away with a large group of servants, attracting the attention of passers-by; among them were Turkic people in light fur furs, braided hair, and black leather Liuhe boots; The five Tianzhu people with earrings and shawls; and the Central Asian Hu people in small-sleeved gowns, leather caps embroidered with patterns and inlaid with silk screens passed by without any surprise.In a short period of time, Tang Cheng has seen people from dozens of different countries coming and going on the streets of Chang'an.

"The capital of a thousand countries, the weather of provinces and cities, the reputation is well-deserved!" So far, Chang'an in the history books, Chang'an in imagination and Chang'an in front of him have been integrated in Tang Cheng's mind. He walked slowly and quickened his pace.

"Senior officer, where shall we stay?" Laifu came out with Tang Cheng, and he was in charge of the board, lodging and miscellaneous affairs of the two of them. Now that they have arrived in Chang'an, they can live according to the qualifications of Gongsheng from Nandong Dao Township of Tang Chengshan. It was Lai Fuyin who asked this question about entering the place placed by the Ministry of Rites.

"There are a thousand or two thousand scholars coming from all over the country to take the exam, how good can the place arranged by the Ministry of Rites be?" Tang Cheng smiled and waved his hand, "Let's not go looking for the one who is uncomfortable, but pick the one near the imperial city. Find an inn in Fang District."

People have the same heart and the same reason. When Tang Cheng and the two settled down in Daozhengfang, which is only one street away from the imperial city, they found that almost [-]% of the guests in the inn they stayed in came from all over the world to take the exam. Township Gongsheng.

When he didn't have a more detailed understanding of Chang'an, Tang Cheng didn't plan to meet Li Longji, the king of Linzi County, so he didn't go to Zhang Liang, and Laifu took his luggage to the guest room with Xiaoer and went into the inn. Tang Chengze walked into the wine shop attached to the side of the inn.

The autumn wind blows up the Wei River, and the fallen leaves are all over Chang'an.At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the weather is already cold, fish wine is out of season, but Sanlejiang is the right time.After ordering a cup of Sanle Porridge and a few small dishes to go with the wine, Tang Cheng drank the pot by himself on the seat by the window, while listening to the casual gossip of other scholars in the wine shop.

After listening to a few words, Tang Cheng understood that what the scholars in the restaurant were discussing was the matter of this scientific examination, and it was a [-]-year-old Confucian scholar not far from his seat who was talking at the moment, "Jing Yuan, you don't know what to do?" There is no need to be like this, the Ministry of Rites has already posted a list to explain that those Binggong students do not account for the quota of Gongsheng students in our township."

After all, he is also a scholar, Tang Cheng is still clear about the Bingong and Xianggong.At this time, the imperial examinations of the Ministry of Rites in the Tang Dynasty were open to the whole world just like the admissions of those well-known universities in later generations.Candidates from the Tang Dynasty like him are called "Xianggong students", while those candidates who applied for the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty from other countries are called "Bingong", which means guests. It is also issued by the official department.Therefore, there are many foreign officials with deep eyes and high noses in the ministries of Chang'an Imperial City.

Among all the Bingong students, Fusang and Silla have the most people. Listening to what those scholars said, there are more Bingong students in Japan, Korea, and South Korea than in previous years. It is unavoidable to worry that they will crowd out the number of places selected by the Ministry of Rites.

"That's what I said, but there are only so many people who are admitted by the Ministry of Rites every year. If there are more Bingong students, the number of Gong students in our village will naturally be less. I don't know what the Ministry of Rites is thinking, so many foreigners are allowed to take the exam. ", the young examinee named Jingyuan angrily picked up the wine cup in front of him and drank it down, then slammed it on the table with a "bang", "And those Fusang dwarfs and Silla sticks are really cheap, no I’m so lucky to stay on their bird island, so why come to Chang’an to join in the fun?”.

"The gathering of all nations is the proof of the prosperity of our dynasty, Jing Yuan, but your words are wrong." The words of the scholar in his 30s also attracted many peacemakers in the restaurant, and Tang Cheng intuitively understood from this I felt the openness of mind of these scholars.

After the 30-year-old scholar finished this sentence, Yin smiled again and said: "I heard that the Ministry of Rites gave so many Bingong student quotas this year, it was Queen Wei's intention."

"That's right, the empress wants to show off the grandeur of the world so that she can prepare for her participation in the Southern Suburb Heaven Ceremony next spring. In the next spring's ceremony, our empress will be the 'Ya Xian'." The man was a scholar sitting on the other side. As soon as the scholar said this sarcasm, everyone in the audience was shocked.

"Brother, this... the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens is a matter of the most yang and the most powerful. Since ancient times, there is a reason for the yin body to serve as the official of the ceremony? Let alone Yaxian, who is offering sacrifices to His Majesty the Emperor! This matter! ...But really?" The question of the scholar next to him really spoke out the hearts of the people, and for a moment, the entire wine shop was quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the scholar.

Not to mention that scholars since ancient times like to pay attention to political affairs, and this was especially true in the Tang Dynasty when there was no ban on speech. This matter itself is really too big.

"The major events of the country lie in the sacrificial offering and the army", this sentence in the "Book of History" has been regarded as the golden rule since the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Sacrifice and war are listed as the top priority in determining the survival of a country. Its importance and symbolic significance are beyond doubt. To put it bluntly, especially the annual Southern Suburb Heaven Ceremony is the first of the three major ceremonies of the imperial court. The identities of the participants and the duties held by each person are almost strictly regulated.The emperor is the main sacrifice, and the "Ya Xian" who holds the sacrifices for the emperor has not been accepted by the princes and relatives of high stature since ancient times. Since the Tang Dynasty, most of the people who have served as the Ya Xian are the three princes of the first grade. Over time, it has become a rule .

Although she is a queen, she is a woman with a yin body after all, how can she be responsible for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven?Not to mention Yaxian, who was second only to the emperor in the ceremony?

This is indifferent to the people of later generations, but in the eyes of the ancients, it is simply as shocking as the sky collapses and the earth falls.

"What's wrong with the Yin body?" The scholar waited for everyone's eyes to focus on him, and said with a chuckle: "Everyone must have forgotten that the one who serves as the priest of the God of Sacrifice with the honor of the queen Empress Wei can't be considered No.1".

"Wu... Empress?".

"That's right, during the emperor Gaozong's Southern Suburb Ceremony, Empress Zetian Wu took the post of Yaxian." The scholar shook the wine cup in his hand lightly and said: "Speaking of which, our Empress Wei is just I'm just learning from my mother-in-law."

Hearing this, the tavern that was still bustling and noisy just now became more and more silent, and after a long time, Jing Yuan who had just asked the question suddenly sighed: "It's hard, is there going to be another female emperor in this dynasty?".

When it came to this topic, everyone didn't know what to say for a while.As a result, the originally bustling wine shop became more and more silent and dull.Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty for more than a hundred years, the country has been booming. Among the four emperors so far, Gaozu founded the country, and Taizong was a great man. Although Gaozong and the present are cowardly by nature, they cannot be called Mingjun, but they are kind by nature, and they are not considered good to the people. Strict, so the Li and Tang royal family was very popular at this time. Although there was a female emperor, it didn't mean that people wanted another one.This is especially true for those scholars who are well-versed in Confucianism.

The heavens and the earth are the eternal principles; the hen sits in the morning, it is not a blessing for the country!

It is not new for a woman to be a high-ranking official or even the head of a country in later generations, but Tang Cheng doesn't think there is anything new about it.In addition, as a time traveler, he knew that Empress Wei had thoughts of the emperor, so he was not surprised by the news. It was the scholar who spread the news that made him pay attention.

The Tang Dynasty was the only dynasty in China's thousands of years of dynastic history that did not have a ban on speech and literary inquisition. Therefore, it is normal for Tang people to criticize current events in their daily speech and poetry. "Guo" and the royal family's panic during the Mawei Mutiny, and even wrote about the personal relationship between Emperor Xuanzong and Concubine Yang Gui. head off.

However, even if the ban on speech was lifted in the Tang Dynasty, it would not be normal for a scholar who came to Beijing to participate in the scientific examination to spread the matter in public. Moreover, in Tang Cheng's opinion, the tone of this scholar's speech was slightly provocative and the rhythm was clearly grasped. It was on purpose.

Judging from the reactions of other scholars, it is obvious that they do not know that Empress Wei will be in charge of offering sacrifices to the heavens, and for such a major court event, the official in charge of handling such an important court event will definitely not leak the news casually. The question arises, how does this seemingly ordinary scholar know that this is supposed to be the news of a top-secret operation?As a Gong student rushing for the exam, when he knew about such a thing, his normal reaction would be to keep his mouth shut, and at most discuss it with his friends in private. Why did he deliberately spread it to the outside world in such a blatant way?

With such doubts, Tang Cheng quietly followed the scholar when he saw the scholar get up and leave.

"Leave after finishing speaking, there is indeed a ghost", Tang Cheng muttered to himself, and followed the scholar out of the inn.

Slowing down and taking advantage of the cover of the crowd, Tang Chengcheng saw the scholar turn into another wine shop not long after.

This time, Tang Cheng didn't go in, but lingered at the entrance of the restaurant. Sure enough, not long after, he heard the scholar's voice faintly again, saying that Empress Wei was going to serve in Central Asia in the sacrifice ceremony company's affairs.

Not long after he finished speaking, the fellow came out again, and Tang Cheng continued to follow.

One followed the other, and in the following hours, Tang Chengzhu followed the scholar to four restaurants and three teahouses.

Seeing that it was almost noon, the scholars who came out of a teahouse finally stopped messing around and walked straight to Zhuque Street.

Seeing this, Tang Cheng quickened his pace, and when the guy got into a Xuan car on the side of Zhuque Street, he also arrived in front of the car.

Seeing that the curtain of the carriage was lowered and nothing could be seen, and the driver was about to ride away, Tang Cheng looked around and suddenly slammed to the right.

Suzaku Street was bustling with people coming and going, and Tang Cheng suddenly bumped into him, and the man in bunt who was passing by him was caught off guard and slammed sideways into the shaft horse of the carriage.

The horse driving the carriage had just started, when the horse's belly was hit suddenly, and it jumped up and down in fright, and the Xuan car pulled by the horse was also twisted left and right.

As soon as the driver settled down on his horse, he saw a man sticking his head out from the part where the curtains on the carriage had been lifted and shouting loudly: "Zhi Niang thief, Zhao Gouzi, your skin is itchy!".

Seeing this man, Tang Cheng's eyes lit up suddenly, he took a step forward and said with a smile: "Brother, you accidentally startled the horse, please forgive me for offending you." .

The man looked Tang Cheng over, and saw that he had a good bearing and well-dressed clothes, and he didn't look like an unprofessional, and the apology was also respectful, so he didn't have any more attacks, and after saying "walk with eyes next time", Then he lowered the curtains of the car with a whoosh.

Immediately, the driver took a hard look at the bunt man and Tang Cheng, and then rode his horse and drove away.

When Tang Cheng was looking at the running carriage with a smile on his face, he felt a tightness in his arms, and the bunted man who was hit by him just now had tightly grasped him.

"You're so unreasonable..." The angry-faced bunt man just said something angrily, but his words were blocked by two flying tickets that appeared in Tang Cheng's other hand.

"This is to accompany you, go after you get the money", just as Tang Cheng finished speaking, the bunt man grabbed the flying ticket in his hand and walked away. He didn't stop until he walked a long way, bowed his head After carefully looking at the flying ticket in his hand, he looked back at Tang Cheng.

Damn it, no wonder the right eye kept jumping up last night, cooperating with the blessing of fortune from heaven today!

The bunt man was happy, and Tang Cheng was also happy, because the man who just poked his head out of the carriage happened to be an old friend he had met in Yangzhou.

Xue Dong!The younger brother of Xue Chongjian, the eldest son of Princess Taiping of Zhenguo, was also the one who was beaten half to death after being tricked into Zoroastrianism by Tang Cheng in Yangzhou.

When he was in Yangzhou last year, although Tang Cheng and Wu Yujun visited Xue Dong together, but because this guy was too arrogant, he only sent a housekeeper to greet them, so the two had never met face to face. It's not surprising that Tang Cheng doesn't come out.

Where do we not meet in life!As soon as he arrived in Chang'an, Tang Cheng did not expect that the first old friend he met would be Xue Dong.

Now that Xue Dong was seen in this carriage, there is no suspense about the person behind the scholar.

As the most favored young girl by Emperor Gaozong and Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping of Zhenguo has been wanting to be emperor for a long time. It seems that she really can't tolerate Li Tang Jiangshan falling into the hands of another woman who is not her.

According to historical records, Princess Taiping and Li Longji's aunt and nephew jointly initiated the palace coup that deposed Empress Wei as a commoner and killed Shangguan Wan'er. Finally got started.

So!At this moment, Li Longji, who is the king of Linzi County, should be in a hurry...

Chapter 182 Tang Cheng Drunk

Back at the inn again, Lai Fu was looking for him anxiously, Tang Cheng said with a smile that after he went out for a walk casually, he went back to the guest room first.

After having lunch at noon, after taking a rest for a while, Tang Cheng took Laifu out of the inn.

After he came out, Tang Cheng went straight to the biggest restaurant in Daozhengfang. Laifu bought the best Sanle Jiang in the store after hearing Tang Cheng's opening, and he couldn't react for a while.Good guy, there are three or four in such a big urn, maybe a few hundred catties?Not to mention drinking, it is more than enough to take a bath! "Senior officer, why did we buy so...so much wine?".

"Give it away", after casually saying something, Tang Cheng motioned for the Laifuhui money, and at the same time gave the owner of the restaurant an address, and asked him to take the four big urns of wine to this place.

Unexpectedly, the owner of the restaurant immediately laughed when he heard Tang Chengbao's address, "It turns out that this wine is going to be delivered to Dr. He's residence! Don't worry, the officials, it's hard to say anything else. When it comes to Dr. He At home, the guys can't make mistakes even if they close their eyes."

"Oh! The boss is very familiar with Dr. He?" Tang Cheng bought these wines to give to He Zhizhang, the leader of the four scholars in Wuzhong, and He Zhizhang's position at this time is Dr. Taichang. The boss just listened. Tang Cheng was a little surprised to come up with such a sentence for a place name.

"Dr. He is a well-known official with an official status. What position can the little old man know him well? However, the green plum wine, which is a specialty in the little old man's restaurant, is very familiar with Dr. He." The boss quickly accepted the bill. , Hehe laughed and said: "You can eat different wines in different seasons, and different wine shops also have different signature wines. The most beloved guest officers in this restaurant are green plum wine. During the time when new plums come out every year, congratulations. What the doctor drinks every day is the wine of our institute."

After the bill was settled, the boss handed back the blessing to make up for it, and continued with a smile: "There is no right candidate for a high official. It's useless to bring anything to see Dr. He, and it has to be wine! Hehe, the high official Xu I don't know, Dr. He's reputation for good wine spreads all over Chang'an. Every time the salary comes out, Dr. He doesn't do anything. All of them are sent to the wine shop. Only after this matter is done every month will the boss have the mind to do other things."

Hearing what the boss said, Tang Cheng laughed uncontrollably.In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, Du Fu once wrote a famous "Song of the Eight Immortals in Wine", which described the eight celebrities who were the best wine drinkers in Chang'an at that time, including Li Bai and Zhang Xu, and He Zhizhang was the head of the Eight Immortals. .

"Zhizhang rides a horse like a boat, dazzled and sleeps in the bottom of the well", because of the spread of the "Song of the Eight Immortals in Wine", Tang Cheng knew that He Zhizhang was fond of alcohol when he was in college, but he never thought that he was so good at drinking. this point.Staring at the accountant to calculate the expenses with his own eyes, he was obviously afraid that the accountant would calculate the expenses too much if he was not careful, which would cause a loss of his wine money.

This old man was already 36 years old when he was a Jinshi in the first four years of his pilgrimage to Zhengsheng, and he just turned half a hundred this year. A 50-year-old famous poet was lying in the accountant's room and comparing pennies and bucks with the accountant. Thinking of this scene, Tang Chengcheng couldn't help laughing again.

The original written image of He Zhizhang in Tang Cheng's mind suddenly came alive. Later generations often use the words "crazy", "crazy" and "true" when summarizing him. This conclusion is really incisive.

After filling the wine urn with the donkey cart in the wine shop, Tang Cheng hired a pedestrian to go to He Zhizhang's mansion with the donkey cart.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of He Zhizhang's mansion, when the doorman saw the boss driving the donkey cart, he immediately greeted him with a grin, "Liu Heipi, I heard that you were very proud last night. Chun Niang from the building stayed all night. She still has the strength to deliver wine today? Could it be that she is weak and afraid that people will find out, so she made this tricky work."

"Ma Er, you can't do it, you son of a bitch. I haven't rested since I entered Chunniang's room last night. It's [-] yuan a night. I will play tricks and ruin it?", the clerk in the wine shop The boss is obviously very familiar with the pockmarked concierge in He Zhizhang's house. When talking about Chunniang, the boss really blushed and his eyes shone, "Besides, Chunniang's flesh and blood, Erweizi can't help but look at it." You have to stand up to the sky. It’s always a bit old now, but at least it was on the Mengyun Tower back then.”

Listening to the two talking about old prostitutes here, Tang Cheng, who got out of the car, coughed lightly twice.
