Chapter 305 He is lonelier than fireworks

It is said that Mr. Li cleverly used Yangzhou words and phrases written by three famous Yangzhou prefects in the previous dynasty, and then paired them with a poem of his own, placing himself, the nominal magistrate, in the position that should belong to the current magistrate. It can be interpreted as you Luo

The prefect has no talent and learning and is not worthy to be ranked with the sages. It can also be interpreted as that I, Li You, am not as good as you, Prefect Luo, in my eyes. It can also be interpreted that I, Li You, are more talented than you, Prefect Luo...

No matter which interpretation is used, it is needless to mention the humiliation of Governor Luo. The key point is that this method is very new to everyone in the hall. Scanning people's faces in such an elegant and meaningful way will definitely be widely regarded as an interesting anecdote in the officialdom of this dynasty.

Rumors have spread, and the name of Magistrate Luo will probably continue to appear.

Everyone in the hall thought that it was not unreasonable for Li You to become famous all over Jiangzuo in just two years.

Master Luo's pale face twitched a few times, then turned rosy and straightened out. He stroked his beard with one hand and laughed, "Hahahaha! Master Li inspires himself with his sages, and his ambition is commendable!"

Is this okay? Li You was speechless in response to Fu Zun's very personal style.

Everyone thought that Magistrate Luo had two options. One was to walk away, and no one else would be able to stay here anymore. The other was to use his skills to overwhelm his opponents with talent and earn back his face, but the possibility was slim.

.The results were unexpected, and it was nothing more than doing it in vain...

I really don’t know what kind of dispute started between Magistrate Luo and Li Bie, so that they openly and secretly mocked each other. Especially when Magistrate Luo said on the dock, "They are not much worse than Mr. Li in terms of background," which immediately set the fire on fire.

.

You must know that Mr. Li has the official title of magistrate. From here on, he is an assistant to the magistrate, not a subordinate who can be manipulated and humiliated. The two of them can be distinguished but not superior.

Therefore, Magistrate Luo said something that went too far, and was met with an unceremonious and violent counterattack by Mr. Li. It was reasonable for everyone to think about it. Besides, Mr. Li is a person who can go to heaven to listen, so it is strange that he would swallow his anger.

In fact, Li You was also surprised. As an opponent, he was very sensitive and noticed that there seemed to be a strong spiritual force supporting Magistrate Luo, but he couldn't guess what it was for the moment.

Zeng Tongzhi of the government office turned to Leng Tongping beside him and whispered: "It is very unwise for the governor to do this. Fighting with Mr. Li is like a piece of chicken ribs, and the food is tasteless."

Leng Tongpuan nodded, deeply convinced. The governor was really confused. He shouldn't have acted like this even if someone ordered him to do so.

Both of them are officials in the government office, and neither of them feels that there is any fundamental conflict of interest between the government office and Mr. Li. It is just a matter of power coordination between the government office and Fuguo County. But this will take time to adjust.

, slapping each other in the face cannot solve the real problem.

Besides, Mr. Li has a profound background and has real power in the county. Unlike the shaking heads in the yamen, Mr. Li is not easy to handle. Head-on confrontation is really not an option.

Under such circumstances, if a fourth-grade magistrate fights against a new sixth-grade magistrate, it goes without saying that if he loses, it will definitely be a miserable victory if he wins. The cost will be high, and there will not be much benefit. In short, there is nothing

necessary.

Hai Shangshu suddenly opened his mouth to calm down the atmosphere and said: "With the beautiful scenery, how can we live without wine? Let's have wine!"

They didn't talk about anything, but they said that there was a banquet in the hall. There were countless rare treasures on land and water from all directions, and more than a hundred of them were served for free. Even the well-informed Li You was secretly surprised.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone, including the youngest Li You, was an experienced actor, and the atmosphere in the hall became lively. Before long, seven or eight jars of fine wine had been consumed.

Jin Wanwan, who was drunk, raised his glass to Shangshu Hai and said: "Today's happiness is thanks to Brother He, and the food is provided by Brother Ma Xian. I have nothing to express. I only have a Yangzhou specialty to dedicate to Master Shangshu!"

Gao Yuntong and Jin Wanwan of the Salt Transportation Department were the son and daughter of the family, and teased him: "What specialties are there in Yangzhou? Could it be that I would give the Princess of Guangling to relieve the loneliness of the old man's journey!"

At this time, Yangzhou's thin horse was famous all over the world, and passers-by knew that they were going to Yangzhou to buy concubines. Some local chronicles actually solemnly wrote Guangling Princess as a local product...

Jin Wanwan smiled mysteriously and said nothing, and waved his hand to the servants to carry a large pot of flowers and plants. When the officials present saw it, they all gasped and sobered up.

All I could see was that this pot was a peony flower, but four flowers grew from one branch. Each petal was purple-red, with a cluster of yellow pistils in the middle, as if it were wearing a red robe and a gold belt around its waist.

We are all literate people who grew up in Yangzhou. Who doesn’t know the allusion of the four-phase hairpin flower? Who doesn’t recognize that this is the most auspicious golden waistline?

When Han Qi was an official in Yangzhou in the previous dynasty, he saw this flower and summoned Wang Anshi, Wang Gui, and Chen Sheng to wear hairpin flowers to drink. It would not be unusual if this was the case, but all four of them became officials and became prime ministers. This is the origin of the four-phase hairpin flower. allusion.

This kind of flower is so rare that it is called the golden girdle. Legend has it that once it blooms, the prime minister will appear. It has not been seen in Yangzhou city for decades. Today, Jin Wanwan actually got one and dedicated it to Hai Shangshu. It is a clever idea. .

The previous three ministers of the Ministry of Rites all paid homage to the Prime Minister and entered the cabinet, so this flower really pleased the new Minister of Rites, Mr. Hai.

Hai Shangshu's face was full of spring breeze. He stretched out his hand to pick off one, held it in his palm and admired it carefully. Then he raised his head and said, "How can I keep this thing to myself and share it with all the gentlemen?"

Then a prostitute was summoned, her eyes were closed, and she was asked to beat the drum. The remaining three "golden girdle" flowers were passed around among the remaining people. When the drum stopped, the flower fell wherever it fell. This was called passing the flower around by beating the drum.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or some other reason, but the first one was made by Ding Yun, the director of salt transportation, and the second one was obtained by Geng Xundao, the inspector general. Everyone thought that the third one was going to fall to Magistrate Luo based on his rank, but it ended up falling. It was in the hands of Li You and Li Biejia.

The three of them all composed a poem, drank three glasses of wine, and were laughed at. In fact, they all knew that this was just fun at the banquet. Although it had a beautiful meaning, no one took it too seriously.

Li You was drunk and remembered that Yangzhou women liked hairpins, so he inserted the flowers into the bun of the prostitute's house next to him.

The waitress was also an interesting person, but she took off the "golden girdle" flower and inserted it into Mr. Li's temple, which was exactly the allusion of the prime minister's flower.

Among the four people holding the "golden waist", Hai Shangshu, Ding Yunshi are fifty-seven years old, and Geng Xundao is forty-six and seventeen years old. I dare not say that they are senile, but their faces are slack and wrinkled, so how can they be embarrassed to wear them in public? Spend this kind of thing for old age and not repair it.

Besides, if the real hairpin is too immodest, wouldn't it be a blatant statement that he is seeking the position of prime minister?

In other words, Li You was young and had the capital to be frivolous after drinking. He didn't have to pretend to be prudent here like he did in front of the subordinate officials in the county government, and he was very relaxed.

The jade face is decorated with flowers, and the drunken prostitutes laugh. No matter whether they have any prejudices in their hearts, everyone can't help but cheer. He is truly the most romantic person in Jiangzuo.

But a few disappointing scoldings came from the side: "A frivolous boy who doesn't study is really a scum. How can he be a shepherd if he is not ashamed to wear flowers and be ugly?"

Hearing this, Li You looked over and saw that it was Magistrate Luo again. He couldn't help but get angry and slapped the table: "How dare you bully me again and again! I will give up if we don't get along with you!"

He stood up with already unsteady steps, moved to the front of the governor's case and pointed his halberd at him. Magistrate Luo couldn't help but secretly roll up his sleeves when Li You stared at him menacingly.

Everyone was helpless. If things continued like this, the common squabbles would turn into irreconcilable conflicts, and the possibility of a full-on martial arts showdown tonight was not even ruled out.

Regardless of whether there is a civil or military fight, Master Li, who is young, strong and talented, probably takes advantage. How deeply does Magistrate Luo resent Master Li to insult him regardless of occasion or location, regardless of his own safety?

A servant had already stepped forward to block the fight. Li You turned back and scolded: "Get out of here!"

He took two more sips of wine, opened his mouth and let out a long whistle, like a song or a chant, which made the host breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that Mr. Li was going to play a literary game.

Seeing that Li Mingshi was drunk and writing poems again, everyone hurriedly listened carefully. From now on, it will be a romantic gossip. When a small circle gathers to chat, people with gossips will naturally become the core.

Li You staggered around a few times and said in a loud voice: "Who will come to the stage to discuss the ceremony? After crying at Tianmen, come south. The hairpin flowers are surrounded by the bones of prostitutes and immortals. The prime minister is a talented man who drinks and sings wildly. He can be the master of Zhongxi when he is born, and he can be the same when he wants to die.

Buried. Sir, you love yourself as a famous mountain old man, and it’s not because the king won’t let him go!”

After everyone thought for a moment, they felt that Li You was praising his own work, and that he was about to blow himself up to the sky.

The question of who came to power during the ceremony probably refers to the fact that he took the lead in admonishing the emperor to take charge of the government in the court. However, he was reprimanded by the Queen Mother and sent to the south, so he asked Tianmen to stop crying and come south.

If the first two sentences are quite realistic, the last two sentences "The hairpin flowers embrace the prostitutes and the immortal bones, the drunken songs and the prime minister are talented" are too exaggerated. They describe his bohemian image just now, but they also add the words "the immortal bones, the prime minister is talented",

This self-promotion is simply speechless.

There is no need to go into detail later, just use an allusion from Taibai. At any rate, Mr. Li’s poems are considered qualified. But here’s another sentence: “A gentleman loves a famous mountain elder, not because a king will not let him go.” The free and easy and proud person can only continue to make people speechless.

Judging from the past, although Mr. Li's poetry writing styles are extremely varied, whenever he writes self-explanatory poems, his style is relatively unified.

The niche route turned directly into a drunken and singing binge today...

This style span is really a bit big. Could it be Li Shi’s new trend?

"Arrogant and arrogant!" Magistrate Luo also angrily said: "I want to impeach you for being arrogant and impetuous! Just wait!"

Mr. Li pointed at Magistrate Luo and said proudly: "You are such a cynical official, how can you know that there are birds in the sky! Moreover, Xiongzhong is really ignorant and incompetent, and he is in vain to be a fourth-rank Huangtang! Who said I am bragging?"

Suddenly someone in the corner of the hall said in surprise: "Isn't it Yang Sheng'an?"

Li You looked at it with drunken eyes, and saw the talented man who had recited the resumes of Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu, and Su Dongpo a few hours ago. He couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and praised in his heart, you are really the best tonight.

supporting role.

The others immediately clapped their heads and understood.

Master Li's poem was originally written by Yang Shen, the most talented man in the Ming Dynasty who was famous for two hundred years for his "fighting integrity and dying for justice" during the Great Ceremony of the Sejong Dynasty. Yang Shenzi, this man also had a problem: wearing pink hairpins and drinking

, Li You used this expert’s deeds to refute Magistrate Luo’s insult as a clown.

Fortunately, only Magistrate Luo had a grudge and was the first to accuse Mr. Li of being arrogant. He deserved to be scolded as a common official, ignorant and unskilled.

Why do everyone unanimously misunderstand that Mr. Li wrote the question himself? It’s a mess, it’s a complete mess.

However, the experiences of the two of them were quite similar. Both were talented and famous, both came to remonstrate because of Tian's family affairs, both were beaten with imperial sticks by the Holy Lord, and both were demoted from the capital.

No wonder Mr. Li took advantage of everyone's drunkenness to get confused. However, his situation is much better and he can only be regarded as a shrunken version of Yang Shen.

The prime minister is the one who indulges in drunkenness and singing.

After being teased and slapped in the face again, Magistrate Luo sighed softly and sat there motionless. The noise in the hall had nothing to do with him anymore. Such a heavy price should be enough.

His division commander passed away many years ago. If there is no new reference today, his official career will probably stop at the level of a fourth-grade local official.

But he had a good friend who promised to find an opportunity to introduce him to Mr. Peng Ge. This Mr. Peng Ge was a relatively powerful bachelor in the cabinet, and the current chief assistant Xu Pang initially followed his lead, so it was worth seeking refuge with him.

However, an ordinary foreign fourth-grade prefect, with a position that is neither high nor low in the officialdom pyramid, cannot cause much trouble in Mr. Peng Ge's heart. It is difficult to leave a deep impression, which is commonly known as being registered.

Over the years, Bachelor Peng has had a number of disciples who have left the past. Even if someone like him can successfully join the old school, he will be very inconspicuous.

Just when Magistrate Luo was distressed, Li Biejia fell from the sky...

No one in the officialdom knows that Mr. Li not only destroyed Mr. Peng Ge's chief lieutenant, but also had a great achievement in sending Mr. Peng Ge's son to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. He also had a glorious history of repeatedly beating Mr. Peng Ge's face during the imperial war.

.

Presumably, for Mr. Peng Ge, Mr. Li is not only a thorn in the side, but also one of the most potential political stars of the enemy party, and an absolute target of attention.

We also learned from the Di Bao (thanks to the full version) passed to the government office that the new Minister of Rites, Hai Shushan, was introduced to the ministry by Mr. Peng Ge. After Mr. Hai arrived in Beijing, he would definitely meet Mr. Peng Ge and talk about it as usual.

What you see, such as folk customs, climate, crops, water conditions, official dynamics, and celebrity anecdotes.

As long as the news of the feud between the Yangzhou magistrate and Mr. Li reaches Mr. Peng Ge's ears, the name of the prefect will surely leave a deep impression on Mr. Peng Ge...

Not seeking to preserve dignity and honor, only seeking to be heard and heard by the princes, not seeking a long face, but seeking to be slapped in the face, not seeking to insult others, but seeking to be humiliated, the more miserable the better, the more ruthless the better. Presumably this will arouse Mr. Peng Ge

Feelings of pity and sympathy...

Regardless of the scars on his face, he used the magic of ridicule on Mr. Li again and again, successfully arousing Mr. Li's anger, and slapped him with a storm of left and right slaps. But he still smiled with tears and smiles.

Tears, silently wiped away the tears, and faced the next round with perseverance. I think this will make Mr. Peng Ge realize his sincerity and put it in his heart...

Coupled with the cooperation of friends and recommendations, the future is promising.

As a highly motivated official, how easy is it for him? How easy is it! How easy is it!

Late at night, the sponsors of the banquet brought mountains of fireworks and set them off extravagantly and without restraint in the courtyard, just to make the adults in the hall laugh.

Densely beautiful fireworks bloom in the cold and lonely sky. Their splendid splendor makes people intoxicated for a few moments, and then completely withered and disillusioned in the blink of an eye.

All your pride can only be in your dreams. Fireworks are flying all over the sky. Who is pining for you?

He is lonelier than fireworks.

On the other side of the hall, Li You sat drunkenly next to the talented man who spontaneously cooperated with him to slap the government official twice in a row tonight, and asked kindly: "What is your surname?"

The talented man straightened his sleeves and bowed, "Student Zheng Xie."

Poof! Li You suddenly spit out a mouthful of old wine, there is also Zheng Banqiao in this time and space?ro!.
