Chapter 514: Li Bai and Du Fu, the Chang'an event begins!(1/2)
When Zhuge Liang led his troops to guide the countries in Shandong, Zhang Hua held a Chang'an event in Chang'an City, meeting literati from all dynasties and winning people's hearts.
Ouyang Xiu, who is currently in charge of Yingtian Academy, and Wang Shouren of Zhongtian Pavilion Academy, have participated in the Chang'an event to enhance the value of the Chang'an event.
Du Mu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty who was promoted to the prefect of Hongnong, made contributions to the Battle of Wushan Post and accumulated merits. He was promoted to the governor of Puzhou and guarded half of Hedong with Xie Xuan.
Because there is no war in Hedong for the time being, Du Mu was invited to attend the Chang'an event.
Staff Luo Guanzhong, as the author of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", is also qualified to attend.
The late emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yu, also attended the Chang'an event. Although Li Yu did not have any talent in governing the country, Li Yu's literary attainments were no less than that of most literati...
The Chang'an event was held at the Imperial College in Zhuque Street.
The poet Li Bai traveled all over the Central Plains and returned to Chang'an City to participate in the Chang'an event held by Zhang Hua.
Li Bai had a long sword tied around his waist and looked around curiously.
When Emperor Xuanzong of Tang ruled here, Chang'an was still a town, and now it has been upgraded to a large city with a population of 500,000, making it even more prosperous.
"Brother Taibai, you are indeed here."
A familiar voice sounded, which surprised Li Bai slightly.
He couldn't help but look at the source of the sound, and then showed a happy expression: "Zimei, I didn't expect you to come too!"
"I have a miserable fate, displaced, and after going around, I will return to Chang'an."
The person who comes is not someone else, but the poet Du Fu!
Li Bai and Du Fu had known each other before, and they met again at this time. The two talked about their own experiences and couldn't help but sigh.
The two found a restaurant and then had a detailed discussion.
"Brother Taibai has amazing sword skills in this world. Why not abandon his pen and join the army and become a general and a prime minister?"
Du Fu was envious when he heard that the sword skills Li Bai had learned before had greater power here.
"Oh, I'm used to being free and easy, and I'm not able to be controlled by others. I always feel uncomfortable."
If Li Bai wants to become an official, his force is indeed not a problem.
However, Zhang Hua's army was enforced and ordered to be banned. Li Bai was unconventional and seemed incompatible with the army.
As for the career, you need to be placed outside the place and start with the county magistrate, county magistrate or county magistrate. The internal affairs are busy and all kinds of trivial matters follow one after another.
After all, Li Bai still doesn't want to be plagued by all kinds of trivial matters.
But if you don’t go from county magistrate to prefect, then be promoted to governor, and come into contact with various practices, it will be difficult to be promoted to senior management.
Li Bai's personality is still not suitable for being an official after all.
"But with Brother Taibai's talent, no matter where he is, he can have no worries about food and clothing."
Du Fu admired Li Bai's talents.
Suddenly, Du Fu found that Li Bai's gaze seemed to have passed by him and landed on the person behind him.
Du Fu followed Li Bai's gaze and saw a man sitting in a dark corner, drinking alone without saying a word. On his wooden table, there was a simple long sword.
"Could that person also came to attend the Chang'an event?"
Du Fu knew that the Chang'an event held by Zhang Hua attracted literati from all dynasties, and Chang'an City became a pilgrimage site for literati.
Li Bai shook his head and whispered: "That man's breath is not weak. He should be a hero who uses swords or a master who uses swords, not a literati."
"oh?"
Du Fu's military power is very low. He belongs to the scholar who is a child in the Nancun who bullies me and is powerless. He can't see the truth of the person.
Chang'an City is extremely prosperous, and in a chaotic world, some martial arts practitioners will carry swords and protect themselves. There is nothing strange about seeing a ranger in the restaurant.
Li Bai just glanced at the man for a few more times and did not go over and questioned the other party's origin.
The man settled the bill and left, disappearing among the crowds of people on Zhuque Street.
Chang'an City, the storm meeting, Ouyang Xiu, a master of literary scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty, was responsible for hosting this Chang'an event, convening literati and poets from all over the world, discussing poetry and songs, which was even more grand than the Chang'an gathering held in Chang'an Town established by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
Not only that, ministers such as Yao Chong, Gu Yong, Wei Zheng, Xie An, Chen Qiao, Wang Shouren also came out at the Chang'an event to enhance their cultural influence.
If Fan Zhongyan had not needed to guard Songzhou and could not get rid of himself, Fan Zhongyan would not have missed this party.
Just celebrities such as Xie An, Wei Zheng, and Yao Chong can attract a large number of literati and poets.
Gao Shun led the camp to prevent the enemy from sending assassins to sabotage.
Around the venue of the Chang'an Festival, tens of thousands of ordinary people gathered, all of whom stopped and looked at it, wanting to see the style of literati and poets of all dynasties.
Hundreds of literati gathered together, and such scenes are rare.
"The poetic immortal Li Bai!"
"Poet Saint Du Fu!"
When these two poets of the prosperous Tang Dynasty appeared, the people in Chang'an City were in a hustle and bustle.
Li Bai and Du Fu almost represent the peak of the literary world of the prosperous Tang Dynasty!
"I didn't expect that in later generations, I would be able to gain such a reputation, and it would be a waste of my life."
Du Fu was a little flattered.
Although their status is not as good as that of the officials at that time, their reputation has been passed down to later generations, which has gained something.
"Du Mu!"
"Li Shangyin!"
Two more poets from the prosperous Tang Dynasty arrived, Du Mu and Li Shangyin collectively called "Little Li Du", who belonged to the late Tang Dynasty poet and had a reputation as well.
The literati attended the meeting, including the frontier poets Wang Changling and Cen Shen, who were from the Tang Dynasty.
"Lu You, one of the four great poets of the Southern Song Dynasty, reviving the revival of the four poets!"
"There is also Fan Chengda, who is also one of the four major poets of the Southern Song Dynasty's revival!"
"The Calligraphy Saint Wang Xizhi! His "Lanting Preface" is unparalleled in the world. It is said that he was buried with Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin, and will never be seen in the world. But he himself is here, and maybe he brought the "Lanting Preface"!"
"Mi Fu, a calligrapher of the Northern Song Dynasty! He, together with Cai Xiang, Su Shi, and Huang Tingjian, were called the "Four Schools of Song Dynasty"!"
"Su Shi is here too!"
"Li Yu, the late ruler of the Southern Tang Dynasty!"
"Impossible, there are too many celebrities!"
"It is a prosperous era. If you obtain one or two of their original works, as a family heirloom, you can hide your future generations!"
"When the Chang'an event ends, no matter what, we must try to get to know these great writers and take advantage of their talents."
"These people are not only talented, but also have official careers. For example, Du Mu has already become the governor. If they become children and relatives with them, they will definitely be able to make a fortune in the future."
The Chang'an residents watching outside the venue kept bursting out with bursts of screams, whispering to each other, and were very lively.
There are more literati attending this time than last time, and the reason is very simple.
The last grand event organized by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was limited to the Guanzhong Plain. Now that Zhang Hua's territory has expanded, he naturally attracted more literati.
The literati who are qualified to participate in the Chang'an City party are all big names who have been leading the way for hundreds of years. They each have fans, so that Zhuque Street is full of traffic and can't be thrust.
"Please sit down."
Ouyang Xiu, who presided over the conference, was also deeply honored to see Li Bai, Du Fu, Du Mu, Li Shangyin, Wang Xizhi and other literati attending the conference.
Li Bai and Du Fu are also considered famous people of ancient times to Ouyang Xiu.
As one of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, Ouyang Xiu led the Northern Song Dynasty poetry and article innovation movement and was qualified to host the Chang'an event.
Many literati and poets gather together to talk about Tang poetry, Song lyrics and Yuan lyrics, and novels of Ming and Qing dynasties. It is very lively.
Li Bai and Du Fu are quite famous, and literati from other dynasties have made friends with them.
This group of literati appeared in Chang'an City, and the cultural prosperity of Chang'an City was unprecedented.
Ministers such as Wang Shouren, Xie An, Wei Zheng appeared later, and everyone bowed and introduced each other, making it even more lively.
"It's you?"
Xie An was deeply surprised to see Wang Xizhi, a saint of calligraphy in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
In the ninth year of Yonghe, the year was in Guichou. At the beginning of late spring, the people who met at Lanting in Shanyin, Kuaiji were also Xie An!
Few people know this.
Wang Xizhi was born in the Wang family of Langya, a famous family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He naturally met Xie An of the Xie family of Chen County.
"An Shi, it seems that you are like fish in water here."
When Wang Xizhi saw Xie An as an official, he became one of Zhang Hua's confidants, and he couldn't help but envy him.
Wang Xizhi served as secretary of the Jin Dynasty, governor of Jiangzhou, prefect of Kuaiji, and was promoted to General of the Right Army. He was not just an ordinary calligrapher.
However, Wang Xizhi's political achievements are not as good as Xie An.
Xie An sighed: "I just have an opportunity. If you want to become an official, I can recommend it."
