Wei Zheng did not engage in any slander as Du Chuke thought.
Wei Xuancheng was quite a kind person. He was actually telling Du Chuke in disguise that the emperor didn't like Yang Guang and asked him to stop making complaints about Yang Guang. He could just scold him for nothing, but he must not praise him, which would almost certainly
caused the emperor's dissatisfaction.
This kind of vague warning is very common in officialdom. As for whether you can understand it or not, it depends on the person.
"The Supreme Being held a lantern festival to share joy with the people. All I saw was jubilation and joy, and all I heard was laughter. How could it be said to be ordinary?"
Du Chuke looked at the emperor's and empress's expressions, and he calmed down, and immediately flattered her.
Li Po looked at the two of them. He had previously advised him to take someone to the top of the city tower to be a mascot. Now he might be trying to slander him, but he was in a good mood and didn't want to talk to them.
So Li Po said with a smile: "No need to compliment, the preparation was a little hasty, and there are many things that are not satisfactory, especially I didn't expect so many people to come. The city gates are guarded, and there may be fewer people cruising in the market. Send someone over to inform you."
Let's go to the garrison and ask them to send more people to maintain it."
Tonight, Chang'an City was almost full of activity, and the spacious Zhuque Street seemed very crowded. Li Po was quite frightened when he saw this.
It had been a long time since the people in Chang'an City had joined in the fun. So many people came. Nobles and commoners were crowded together. Along the way, they had encountered several quarrels. It was probably because people were worried about being in the imperial city.
Yes, otherwise, according to the temper of Kansai people, they would not talk so much.
When the emperor gave the order, someone immediately followed the order and left.
Du Chuke and Wei Zheng were a little ashamed. As close ministers of the emperor, they had not thought of this. It was really unjustifiable to talk about the Luoyang Lantern Festival here.
Li Bi next to her quietly pulled Li Po's sleeves. This was not a Tai Chi Palace. People were coming and going. They stopped here and attracted people's attention. If they didn't see that they were different from ordinary people, they might have been there.
Some people started to complain.
Moreover, when her husband took her out to play in the palace and she was in a good mood, she didn't want to spoil her mood because of someone else.
What's more, she hadn't seen so many people in many years, and she felt quite uneasy and out of place among them.
But with my husband by my side, everything else is insignificant. Being able to go on a night tour of Chang'an Lantern Market with my husband is even more special.
With his wife's signal, Li Po temporarily let go of the two thieving subordinates, rolled his eyes and said: "I just met a few silk lanterns. You are all talented people. Why don't you leave some calligraphy treasures for others so that I can see them?"
Tell me about your literary talent?"
Well, this is good, Li Bi showed a smile at the corner of her mouth. This is an elegant thing, and it is much more interesting than watching lanterns, and then there is guessing...
The only unsightly thing is that the brothels in Caiyufang are also busy tonight, bringing some lanterns to the imperial city, and most of them have the names of the prostitutes in the buildings.
Whether you are guessing lantern riddles or writing poems, as long as you get the approval of the person holding the lantern, you can take the lantern home. After that, you can pick up the lantern to find the owner and enjoy the fun for free.
You say it’s great or not? Let’s take a taste of it. Later on, did people’s money transactions become vulgar to the core?
Of course, this is only for scholars, and laypeople don’t have to count on it.
If Li Po were an ordinary person and composed a poem at this time, he would definitely be treated as a distinguished guest at Caiyufang. A popular poem in this world would be worth a fortune.
Therefore, at the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, whenever you see a silk lantern, there will usually be someone waiting nearby. As long as you think you are talented, you can step forward and splash ink. Of course, if you don't have that ability, it is best to stay away.
The people waiting there are not joking. If you dare to tease others, you will be ridiculed mercilessly and even punched. If you dare to leave an inscription on it, your reputation will be ruined.
There is no need for it.
Du Chuke and Wei Zheng were naturally not afraid of this, and they both bowed and said: "The Supreme Being has a destiny, how dare I disobey the edict?"
This is a game played between monarchs and ministers. The meaning of comparison is actually very little, but it can increase feelings. There is no need to worry if it spreads. Most of them will become a good talk among literati or in the streets.
………………
Wei Zheng and Du Chuke are both unambiguous. Even if they are not very proficient in poetry, they are still the top literati in the world. It is a trivial matter to improvise on the spot and compose a Yuanxi poem.
Moreover, if people like them don't make preparations during the holidays, what kind of officials would they be?
Everyone continued to walk forward, but there were still a few silk lanterns, so they had to look around for them.
After walking for about dozens of steps, I came across a place with many people around, guessing lantern riddles. I don’t know who prepared it. It was very vulgar. If you guessed it right, you would get copper coins.
If you are not at the end of your rope, you will definitely not come forward to guess riddles. A gentleman will not be stained by the smell of copper. This has been engraved in the bones of scholars in this world.
Li Po didn't care about this and dragged Li Bi up to join in the fun.
It happened that a boy and a half stood out from the crowd, clasped his fists in a decent manner and said, "Li Yuansun from Chang'an Academy is here to ask for advice."
The crowd cheered. It seemed that the lantern riddles were a bit difficult to guess, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many people around.
Chang'an Academy is now a well-known place in Chang'an. In the eyes of ordinary people, the culture there is gradually gathering, so the students of Chang'an Academy have a halo, and they have a certain degree of influence in the officialdom.
When the time comes to meet each other, if you tell me that I am from Chang'an Academy, no one will look down upon you.
It's just that the reputation of Chang'an Academy is not enough. When you go to places like Luoyang, Jinyang, and Jiangdu and you say that you studied at Chang'an Academy and are respected by others, then it means that Chang'an Academy has a foundation.
The young man's voice was clear and clear, and he didn't feel awkward in front of others. He had a somewhat different demeanor.
Li Po smiled slightly when he saw it, thinking that people who came out of Chang'an Academy should look like this.
I looked back at Du Chuke and Wei Zheng and compared them, but I had to admit that these two people behind me were the best scholars in the world.
The so-called poets and calligraphers are what they are like. The young people in Chang'an Academy have not yet grown up, and they are still far away from these people.
Du Chuke and Wei Zheng were mistaken. They looked at the silk lantern attentively. After just a brief glance, Du Chuke muttered: "The wine shop's approach to attracting customers is quite thoughtful."
Wei Zheng smiled and continued: "If you can get some fine wine, it's not in vain to try it."
Li Po's head was covered with black lines. His eyes were completely black. He tilted his head and looked at his wife beside him. He felt a little relieved. He was also an idiot. He probably couldn't guess anything, let alone Ashina Rong.
Seriously, she can't even read.
It really complies with that sentence, if you are not a family, you will not belong to the same family...
