Chapter 87 Elephant Madness

The green felt tent is warm and the slight snow is happy, and the red ground furnace is deep and the early cold is suitable. Can writing poems be harmonious?

Try to pour fresh wine with sprinkled mash and try it. The monk came to beg for food to stay overnight, and the guests came to Kaizun to have fun together.

When the old man gets married, I hope you will forgive me for being lenient.

--——《Early Winter Things Come to Dreams》Bai Juyi

Niu Zhao was embarrassed and picked up the sword and was about to escape. Suddenly, he heard the noise outside the venue, and dozens of horses roared into the venue. The leader was wearing a cloak of purple silk, embroidered flowers on it, his face was like powder, and his eyes were filled with evil. It was Li Musheng, the son of Li Xiang. Behind him were his friends, the yamen who were harming Chang'an and committing evil deeds.

Li Musheng couldn't help but be ecstatic when he saw Bai Fu in the crowd. He held a horse whip in his hand and pointed at Bai Fu in anger and roared: "It's this kid who tied him up for me!"

Dozens of escorts under the yamen turned over and dismounted, rushed over with weapons in their hands.

The young men from Bashu also came to their senses at this time, holding swords in their hands to protect Bai Fu. For a moment, the two sides were in a stalemate on the spot, and they saw a fight was inevitable.

At this critical moment, several luxurious carriages drove into the stadium. Several people got out of the carriage, with one leader, with a face as light as gold, five long beards, elegant and noble. Behind him were several important officials of the court, including Jiannan Jiedushi Xian Yu Zhongtong, Zhang Fen, Taoist Qingchi and others.

When a few yamen saw these important officials in the court, they were like rats meeting cats and hurried away while the chaos was the chaos. These important officials in the court were the patriarchs of several major families in Chang'an.

When Li Musheng saw the people who came, he quickly dismounted, put away his arrogant expression, bowed deeply to the person in charge, and said, "I don't know if Uncle Xu is here, please don't blame me."

The person in charge said, "Mu Sheng, when is it now? I'll cause trouble for your father! Today, this matter has reached the ears of the emperor. No matter how nonsense, your father can't protect you!"

Li Musheng's face shook when he heard this. But he was really unwilling to accept it. His eyes were full of fire and pointed at Bai Fu and said, "Uncle Xu doesn't know that this person is too insulting me today. If he doesn't kill this person, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart."

The elder surnamed Xu sank and scolded, "This person is my nephew from afar. Could it be that you are going to force me to study in front of the emperor?"

Li Musheng's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly bowed deeper and said, "The flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple. I hope Uncle Xu will calm down and my nephew will take his leave."

Li Musheng bowed and slowly retreated. After walking to the alley, he turned over and waved his hand to lead the yamen and escorts to leave one after another.

General Zhang Qiu's clan uncle also came, and it was Zhang Qiu Jianqiong, the former governor of Jiannan. General Zhang Qiu whispered a few words to him. Zhang Qiu Jianqiong praised: "No, mature, handled properly."

On the way back, General Zhang Qiu was secretly proud of himself: "Fortunately, I am smart. In Chang'an City, there are dragons and tigers hidden and tigers, and my relationships are mixed, so I can provoke them at will. Li Musheng, Meng's prodigal son, relies on his father to do whatever he wants. He doesn't think about his father's age, how long can he last? I will change tomorrow, and he will be killed and killed."

This person who even Li Xiang was afraid of was one of the people most trusted by the emperor today - Taifu Xu Chong, and the second brother Xiang Chi, among the new five tiger generals.

At the dinner party of Jiannan Jiedushi Xian Yu Zhongtong, he received a secret report. He calmly brought several core officials of the court to arrive in time to save Bai Fu and resolve the disaster invisibly.

...

Everyone dispersed one after another, and Taifu Xu called Bai Fu into the house alone.

Bai Fu knelt down on the ground, thanked him with the courtesy of his younger generation, "Thank you for your kindness in saving you."

Mr. Xu helped Bai Fu up and said with a smile: "I received your reply yesterday. I originally thought I would wait for you to rest for two days before making an appointment, but I didn't expect to meet you in advance today."

Bai Fu was ashamed.

Master Xu looked at Bai Fu carefully and saw that the child's eyebrows were on his temples, his eyes were like meteors, his heavenly court was full, his nose was like a gallbladder, and his weapon was majestic. He couldn't help but praise him secretly and thought to himself: My elder brother is known for his knowledge of people, and he wrote letters to recommend many times. When he saw him today, he was as he said. He loved him even more.

The Grand Tutor Xu was not angry and was so powerful that Bai Fu was nervous when he saw it. Bai Fu hurriedly told the truth about what happened today.

After hearing this, Master Xu's face darkened and said, "Fu'er, do you know your mistake?"

Bai Fu knelt down again and said, "Disciple knows the mistake."

"Where is the mistake?" Xu Taifu asked.

This question stopped Bai Fu.

"What's the mistake? Is it because I don't listen to the teacher's advice and act alone with Yichan? Or is it because I'm not cautious enough when I come back and I'm found out whereabouts? Could it be that I'm trying to resolve my hatred with Li Xiang's son?" Bai Fu was muttering in his heart, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Fu'er, have you ever known the story of Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Liu, when he was a boy?"

"Disciple has learned it." Monk Bai Fu Er was confused. I wonder why Uncle Xu told this story and what is the connection with his own affairs today?

"Tell me this story."

Bai Fu tells vividly:

"One day, Zhang Liang walked leisurely on the bridge in Yishui and met an old man wearing a coarse cloth robe. When the old man walked to Zhang Liang, he deliberately took off his shoes under the bridge, and then he arrogantly sent Zhang Liang to say, "Boy, go down and pick up shoes for me!" Zhang Liang was stunned, but he still endured his dissatisfaction and took them up against his will. Then, the old man raised his feet and ordered Zhang Liang to put them on. At this time, Zhang Liang really wanted to punch him, but because he had already After experiencing the vicissitudes of the world and the sufferings of wandering life, he suppressed his anger, knelt in front of him and carefully helped the old man put on his shoes. The old man not only refused to thank him, but instead smiled and left. Zhang Liang looked at him for a long time, and saw the old man walking out of the land, returning to the bridge, and exclaiming to Zhang Liang, "You can teach me." He also asked Zhang Liang to meet at the bridge in the early morning five days later. Zhang Liang didn't know what he meant, but he still knelt down respectfully to his promise.

Five days later, when the rooster crowed, Zhang Liang hurried to the bridge. Unexpectedly, the old man deliberately came to the bridge early and was waiting at the bridge. When he saw Zhang Liang coming, he angrily rebuked: "Why did you miss the time when you make an appointment with the old man? Come again in five days!" After saying that, he left. As a result, Zhang Liang was one step behind the old man again. The third time, Zhang Liang simply waited on the bridge in the middle of the night. He withstood the test, and his sincerity and forbearance moved the old man, so the old man gave him a book, saying: "Reading this book can be a king's teacher. Ten years later, the world is in chaos. You can use this book to build a country; thirteen years later, the Huangshi at the foot of the Gucheng Mountain in Jibei will be the old man." After saying that, he left. This old man is the legendary nobleman Huangshi Gong Huangshi, also known as the "Old Man on the Land".

"Yes, you remember it very accurately."

"The Family of Liuhou" records: 'Liang once calmly traveled to Xiapi, and an old father was dressed in brown clothes. He came to Liang's house and fell down to his yard and said to Liang, "Ruzi, take the shoes!" Liang Erran wanted to beat him up, but for his old man, he endured him, and took the shoes. His father said, "Pick me!" Liangye was to get the shoes, so he knelt on his yard for a long time. His father took the shoes with his feet and laughed. Liang was shocked and followed him to see him. His father went to the village and returned, saying, "Ruzi can teach him. Five days later, he will meet me." Liang blamed him and said, "It's worth it." Five days, he will go there. My father was already here, and he was angry and said, "Why are you going to meet with the old man?" He left, and said, "Meet early on the next five days." On the fifth day, the rooster crowed, and Liang went. My father was here again, and he was angry and said, "Why are you going to?" He left, and said, "Why are you going to come again on the next five days." On the fifth day, Liang was not halfway through the night. After a while, my father also came and said, "So you should do this." He wrote a book and said, "You will be the king's army. Ten years later, the thirteenth year of the year, and the son saw me Jibei, and Huangshi at the foot of Gucheng Mountain was me." Then he left, and there was nothing else to say, and he would not see him again. On the day, he looked at his book, which was the art of Taigong's military."

Mr. Xu did not miss a word and read the story.

"I'll ask you what this story tells us." Mr. Xu continued to ask.

Bai Fu replied: "Although Zhang Liang is strong at this time, he can still control himself. Knowing that he is stronger than the elderly and polite at all times shows that Zhang Liang respects the elderly and loves the young and has a broad mind."

Mr. Xu smiled and shook his head, saying, "The story is right, but I didn't understand the truth."

Bai Fu quickly kowtowed and said, "Sir, please teach me?"

Master Xu asked Bai Fu to get up and thought to himself: A child can be taught.

Next, the old man and the young man asked questions and answers, and re-explained a legendary story.
