Chapter 4, Baiteng is summoned
He Zhizhang said: "Brother Taibai doesn't know anything, Wu Yun has retired."
Mr. Zhengjie was the Taoist priest Wu Yun. The saint heard his name and summoned him as the Hanlin. However, when the saint asked him, Wu Yun actually replied: "The essence of Taoism is as good as five thousand words. His words are just for paper letters!" Wu Yun confronted him many times and asked for an order to retire to Maoshan. The saint's practice of Wu Yun's Taoist temple was obviously a reward, but he was afraid that he would also be under house arrest in secret.
Li Bai was surprised and said, "I have never heard of this. Since he has retired, why don't he come to see me?"
He Zhizhang said: "Wu Zhengjie failed to beg for his life and retreated. The saint ordered people to set up Taoist temples for him in Yueguan, the capital, but he was not allowed to leave the capital."
Since the current saint Li Longji ascended the throne in the first year of the innate year, he worked hard to establish the Kaiyuan prosperous era. However, for 30 years, the saints were also lazy in government affairs, and believed in gods and immortals, and became obsessed with the Dan Cauldron. After a long time, they became suspicious and unpredictable. Wu Yun confronted him in person many times and asked for an order to retire to Maoshan, for fear that the saints were suspected of being unwilling to help him practice Taoism and become immortals. The matter of practicing Taoism for Wu Yun was obviously rewarded, but he was afraid that he would also be under house arrest in secret.
He Zhizhang said: "But although Mr. Zhengjie has not left Beijing, he has become a serious Taoist priest. If his heart is clear and clear, he can cultivate the truth no matter where he is."
Li Bai praised: "Brother Ji Zhen is saying."
While speaking, the child had already returned to the stone chamber with the wine gourd and wine cups. The wine was bought from the old Ji family store. He Zhizhang had a good wine. When he raised the wine, he felt the fragrance was fragrant when he smelled it. He felt even more mellow and cold in his mouth. Although it could not be compared with famous wines such as Yingzhou Fushui and Jiannan Shaochun, it was also a good wine.
He Zhizhang waved to Tonger and said, "Brother, your name is Tensa? I wonder if he has given a name training?"
Tonger said embarrassedly: "I didn't call it cinnabar, I was an abandoned child. I don't know who my parents are or who are. Fortunately, Uncle Mengjun saw Lian and took me all the way to Nanling. He only called me "Tonger" and followed Mr. Taibai. The gentleman called me cinnabar, saying that this is a method of disgusting victory and can help him refine the golden elixir as soon as possible."
He Zhizhang laughed and said, "Then I will give you a name for you. Since you have this adventure of going up the river, you will disassemble your word "未" and use it as "未". The word "未" is "未".
Tonger thought that "Jiangshuo" sounded much better than "cinnabar", so he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you for your name to He Jian."
Pei Min joked to Tonger and said, "You don't have to thank him. Is this the name of "tracing"? I'm afraid that the post star will move all my life and will not be able to live in peace. I'll have to go back and forth."
Li Bai suddenly caught a strange look from this sentence, and immediately thought that one of them was a secretary and the other was a general of the Zuo Jinwu Guard. He was not idle in the court. This time, he was afraid that it was not just a private visit to his friends, so he tentatively said: "Do you two have any official duties here?"
He Zhizhang laughed and signaled Pei Min. Pei Min took off a bamboo tube from the bed belt around her waist and handed it to Li Bai. Li Bai quickly held it with both hands. This tube was made of purple bamboo and was painted with dust-proof and water-proof lacquer, which was visible to people. Looking closely, the middle of the cylinder was divided into two sections with a thin slit, with wax seals on the joints and an official seal was made.
At this moment, Li Bai's hands holding the tube were trembling slightly. He calmed down a little and twisted his hands hard. The wax seal broke with his hands. The cylinder was divided into two pieces, revealing a volume of documents. The tentacles were firm and smooth, and the color was as bright as white jade. It was white vine paper... A unique ancient vine was produced by the Yanxi River in Fenghua, Yuezhong, in the Tang Dynasty. The Yue people used this vine paper to make paper, called vine paper. This vine paper is famous all over the world. Among them, those who are as bright as jade are called "white vine paper", which is a special paper for the imperial court to recruit books. Li Bai held this volume and had been waiting for seventeen years and was slightly trembling. He slowly unfolded the paper, but saw the previous book:
Under the Door:
He heard that Li Bai, Qinglian Township, Changming, Brazil County, Jiannan Road, was a talented and talented person. He was a talented person. Since his departure from Shu, he has a great reputation. Wu Yun of Hanlin recommended him and was a talented person. He was appointed as the assistant to the Hanlin Academy. The prince's guest, Yin Qing Guanglu Dafu and the official secretary of the secretary He Zhizhang asked him to Xuan to Nanling, and Pei Min, the general of the Left Jinwu Guard, was appointed as the deputy envoy. He followed the order.
April 19th, the first year of Tianbao
The Secretary of the Central Secretariat, the Right Prime Minister and the Left Pushe, the Guanglu Dafu, and the Duke of Jin Li Linfu Xuan
The Secretariat of the Secretariat of the State of Zhao, the Secretariat of the State of Zhao, Wang Jufeng
Xu Jiaxing, a scholar of Jixian Academy,
The book is written as the right hand, and the talisman is practiced."
All the above documents are copied in regular script. The three middle-class teachers used seals respectively, and two lines of small characters were annotated with red pen on the left:
September 20th, the first year of Tianbao
Can be made
After reading it, Li Bai held the book and said without saying a word. Pei Min came over and bowed, "Congratulations to Brother Taibai, I finally entered the court. When Wu Yun asked to leave Hanlin, he recommended you to the saint. Princess Cha Yuzhen and He Jian were by his side, and took the opportunity to present your "Great Hunting Fu" and "Wuqiqu". The saint watched it and slammed the table. This was the only time that this recruitment was established. I asked myself to go this trip. I said that He Jian was so old..."
He Zhizhang waved his hand and said, "I insist on coming. If this is not the case, it is not enough to apologize to Taibai. The last time I went to Beijing, I thought about recommending you to the emperor. However, even if you recommend an official, you can't avoid the right prime minister. Our Prime Minister Li is famous for "having honey on his mouth and a sword on his belly". He is especially jealous of virtuous people and capable people, and has not been able to do anything for many years. Unexpectedly, Wu Yun took the opportunity of retirement to the emperor's name to the emperor."
Li Bai waved his hands repeatedly and said, "What's the crime of Brother Ji Zhen? Brother and Princess Yu Zhen have great kindness to me. I have no teeth to forget. I remember that I first entered Chang'an and could not visit Tianyan. I sat in the private hall of Zhongnan Mountain all day long and felt sad. Fortunately, I drank and talked with Ji Zhen. All the time I was in front of me..."
Seeing that he was sad, Pei Min hurriedly interrupted: "Don't turn over this old account again. Now think about when to set off for Beijing."
Li Bai said: "Of course, the faster the better. If you don't bother with the fatigue of travel, you can set off today."
Tonger said: "How to make it happen? You also need to arrange your family and clean up the fine lines."
He Zhizhang smiled and said, "When the emperor saw the summoning, he would have been rushing to his family on a starry night... I think Brother Bai, the great talent, will not be in the Hanlin position for too long, and will be granted a real title for the emperor. It is not too late to stay in Beijing or send off the family again. Now, it is better to just follow the light cart."
After the discussion was settled, Li Bai returned to the hut and told Liu. Liu was naturally happy when he heard that Li Bai had become an official, so he just urged Li Bai to set off quickly and not think about his family. He fought for a real foreign delegation as soon as possible and the whole family would be reunited again.
Li Bai was free and easy, and the children were quick to do. After a while, they packed their luggage and set off. When the autumn wind blew, Li Bai felt drunk and suddenly became excited. He sang:
The white wine is fresh and returns to the mountains, and the yellow chicken pecks on the millet in autumn.
Call the children to cook chicken and drink white wine, and their children laugh and hold people's clothes.
Singing loudly and wanting to be drunk, and dancing to the sunset to compete for glory.
Lobbying for the hardships of thousands of people is not early, and crossing the horse and strolling on a long journey.
A foolish wife from Kuaiji was fond of buying ministers, and I also left my family and entered Qin.
I laughed to the sky and went out, how could I be a weed man?
The group of four set out from Nanling, passed Xuancheng, Chizhou, Susong, Xiakou, and Yunmeng. After a dozen days of travel, they arrived in Anlu. Anlu is a thoroughfare and land. There are two roads to choose from when you go west to Chang'an.
First, take the dry road: go straight along the post road to the north and pass through Shenzhou, Xuzhou to Luoyang, and then turn west and go through Tongguan to enter the capital of Jingji. The advantage of taking the dry road is that the road is wide and straight, and the road is unobstructed in all seasons, but the journey is more than 1,700 miles and the distance is long.
The second road is the water route, that is, the route for the canal transport in Shannan - take the official canal transport ship to the Han River until Xiangyang County, then go up the Dan River to the Luoyuan Pier in Shangzhou, go ashore and pass by Wuguan to Lantian, and enter Chang'an by land. Not only does the total mileage shorten to 1,200 miles, there are also 800 miles of water routes, which is much more comfortable than riding. He Pei and his two took this water route when they came.
The transportation of the mountains in Shannan was mainly transported to the capital of various roads in Shannan and Jiangxi. At this time, the transportation of the mountains was idle in late autumn, so He Pei and the others were very convenient to obtain a canal ship from the Dushu Division of the Dushui Supervisor Ezhou to return north.
This is a official canal transport ship with a square ferry with a flat bottom, with a shallow draft but a large load. Because it is not afraid of sitting on sand, it is not easy to get stranded in shallow water. It is also equipped with three-masted sails, which are good at "regulating the wind" and can sail against the wind.
There were more than 30 sailors on the ship. In addition to the sailors led by a naval lieutenant in the Duzhiyamen of Ezhou, there were also ten elite soldiers from the Left Jinwu Guard led by Pei Min. Because the soldiers on the ship were all wearing leather armor, with horizontal swords hanging around their waists, and with Biao Zhang crossbows on their backs. The Tang crossbows had a long range, high accuracy and strong strength. If they encountered an ordinary water thief, they would be fifty, and one hundred would not be able to board the ship.
The official canal transport ship that everyone was riding was very wide. The bow was installed with stalks and water slabs on both sides of the ship, making the sailing more stable. At this moment, the wind was slow and the waves were slow, and the big ship seemed to be sliding on the water. In a blink of an eye, the sky was already white, and the river breeze blew from east to west, blowing away the river fog in front of the ship. The bow of the ship was like a sword blade breaking a huge gray curtain covering the river.
As the fog dissipated, the scenery on both sides gradually became clear. Jiang Shuo had never taken a boat to travel. He leaned on the bow and looked around, but felt everything was fresh. Li Bai looked at the river water on the side of the boat in a daze, not knowing whether he was conceiving a new poem or thinking about his thoughts. He Zhizhang was old and had not woken up last night and went into the cabin to rest. Pei Min also leaned on the mast to sleep. The sailors were all familiar with the corps of the corps office of the corps office, and were commanded by a naval army lieutenant. The lieutenant was originally from Mingzhou, Huainan. His surname was Chen Xiandeng, and his family had been a naval army household for generations. He had been working on the line of canal transportation in Shannan for more than ten years. He was very familiar with the matter of boating on the Han River. He was now commanding the sails and the steering were all busy and not messy.
As we walked until the afternoon, the sun was warm in the autumn afternoon, and Jiang Shuo felt lazy and napped against the fence. When he was sleeping, he suddenly heard Chen Xiandeng coming over and said to Pei Min: "General, look at the situation on the river below, it seems that something is wrong."
