Chapter 192 Li Bai's Frustrated Return
"The golden cup is worth ten thousand wine, and the jade plate is worth ten thousand yuan. I can't eat it by stopping the cup and throwing the chopsticks. I draw my sword and look at me in a daze-----"
Li Bai drank the last jar of wine at home, got drunk and went back to the room and took a bag of money and went out.
There is no doubt that Li Bai went to buy wine with Li Fei. He was used to drinking Li Fei's distilled spirits. The ordinary fermented wines on the market felt boring no matter how much Li Bai drank them.
Another winter has passed, and Li Bai has been in Chang'an City for more than two years. He has long since lost the spirit of being appreciated by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. Now Li Bai is at a loss and can only relieve his worries by drunkenness!
Li Fei was also confused. He knew that the Anshi Rebellion was getting closer and closer, and he wanted to save his godmother Yang Guifei, but he didn't want her to end up as miserable as in history, but he never knew what to do.
Li Fei was not surprised when Li Bai came, but instead asked the servants to stir-fry dishes and drink with Li Bai.
The drunk Li Bai wrote a poem without any need to pause. He read the poem loudly after a sip of wine.
Jiuxian is Jiuxian. After drinking Li Fei's distilled spirits for two years, although Li Bai still gets drunk normally, he can keep it from lying down and his consciousness can always remain a little sober.
"I am ashamed to chase the children in Chang'an society, and the red chickens and white pheasants bet on pears and chestnuts. I play the sword and sing the bitter sound, and I sway my skirt and the king's door is not in love."
"Brother, do you say that I, Li Bai, are you very talented? Is there anyone more talented in the world than I, Li Bai?" Li Bai said drunk.
Li Fei said nothing and raised his glass and drank it all. He didn't know what he should say. In this case, it was more appropriate to hear Li Bai say.
"For two years, Your Majesty has never appointed me in other places except asking me to write poetry. He does not give me other official positions or ask me about my political affairs. I am writing poetry and writing poetry. I come to Chang'an and come to Your Majesty, not just to write poetry———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
In fact, from the day Li Fei met Li Bai, from the day when Li Bai was appreciated by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and was full of energy, Li Fei was preparing to see Li Bai's frustrated day, so at this moment, Li Fei was not surprised at all about Li Bai's current performance, his frustrated and confused appearance.
Li Bai kept saying that Li Fei was still just an audience member and did not speak.
"Why, why is this?" After a long time, Li Bai couldn't even sit on the stone bench and sat on the ground shaking.
Li Feicai said softly: "Maybe you are not the talent your Majesty wants at all."
"People, talent, what Your Majesty needs is a talent like Yang Guozhong, and I, Li Bai, is a poet, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
"Yes, what Your Majesty needs is a talent like Yang Guozhong. He can enjoy himself without any psychological burden, because a person like Yang Guozhong will help him block all his worries outside the palace gate. What can you, Li Bai, do——" Li Fei sighed in his heart, no longer needed a cup, and he directly raised the ark to drink.
Li Fei ordered someone to carry the unconscious Li Bai into the guest room to rest, but he did not continue to drink it. He had no intention of drinking it directly like Li Bai.
Li Bai slept until noon the next day, and vaguely remembered the "high talk" he said when he was drunk yesterday.
Li Bai was still frustrated when he woke up.
"Brother, maybe you are right. Your Majesty may not need a talent like me, but I also want to give it a try." When Li Bai said this, he was helpless and a little free and easy.
Li Bai had strong political ambitions. He was never a person who liked to wait. He didn't like to wait for the day when Emperor Xuanzong of Tang really reused him in endless time. He didn't like to be a poet for Emperor Xuanzong of Tang all the time. He Li Bai liked to write poetry, but he didn't like to only write poetry for death for others.
Li Fei had already anticipated what Li Bai was going to do, but Li Fei did not speak, but just smiled.
"Okay, prepare a thousand kilograms of strong liquor for me. Maybe it's the last time I bought you wine with me." Li Bai smiled freely.
"Don't worry, brother, I have been preparing to have wine for you in my house. I can take it away at any time." Li Fei said.
After eating two buns at will, Li Bai went straight into the palace to look for Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
What did Li Bai ask Emperor Xuanzong of Tang to resign from Emperor Xuanzong of Tang?
The result that Li Bai had only obtained after running for more than 20 years appeared next to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. His political ambitions were not realized at all. Was he willing to leave Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and wander around the world again? Of course Li Bai was unwilling to give up!
"Your Majesty, Li Bai is a little talented and knowledgeable, and he may not be able to share his worries. Li Bai is tired of the life of Hanlin Academy, so he will resign from His Majesty!" While Li Bai said the resignation to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Bai was absolutely unscrupulous. He was more trying to see what he was in Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and if Emperor Xuanzong of Tang felt that he was a talent and wanted to reuse him, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang would naturally speak and keep him. Li Bai said in his words, he was tired of the life of the Hanlin Academy, and his meaning was to tell Emperor Xuanzong of Tang that if Emperor Xuanzong of Tang felt that he was a talent to keep him, he would transfer him from the Hanlin Academy to another place. If Emperor Xuanzong of Tang did not speak and keep him, he would know everything, and it would be meaningless to stay.
When Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was stunned when he heard Li Bai resignation.
After only two breaths, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang nodded with no concern and said, "Go! I will prepare gold foil for you. You are a strange man. You should travel around the world to see the elegance!"
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang did not even say he wanted to keep him, and only gave Li Bai a reward of about 10,000 yuan.
Li Bai's mouth was full of bitterness when he left the palace with Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
What does it mean to be a strange man, and you should travel around the world to see the elegance of being free? In Your Majesty's heart, he may just be an irrelevant poet. Your Majesty did not regard him as a real talent from the beginning to the end. He is Li Bai just a poet!
At this moment, Li Bai was disappointed and confused.
But at the same time, Li Bai is also very kind. Since he has resigned, he doesn't want to continue to stay in Chang'an City.
"The world is filled with light and no name, why do you want to be lonely and lofty than clouds? Hahahaha!" Li Bai laughed lonely.
The next day, Li Bai went to Li Fei's mansion to say goodbye to Li Fei, and he was about to leave Chang'an City.
Although Li Bai had a free and easy smile on his face, Li Fei could see that Li Bai was definitely not as free and easy as he showed, and he didn't know how lonely he was.
Li Fei had already prepared a thousand kilograms of distilled spirits for Li Bai.
"Brother, it seems that I have to save on this wine, otherwise I will drink it all. I don't know when I will come to Chang'an City to ask you for it next time." Li Bai opened a jar, took a sip and said bitterly.
Li Fei had already expected this day, and I don’t know how to comfort Li Bai, but Li Fei also gave him a gift!
