Chapter 17 Li Bai
At this time, a clear voice chanted: "Mandarin ducks stay in the persimmon forest at night, and sleep well in the morning. Although I have been invited to the palace, I still want to be a red-line grandma."
Tang Chao looked around in surprise and saw a thirty-year-old middle-aged scribe holding a folding fan with lacquered flowers and smiling in his direction. Judging from his white appearance, elegant and unrestrained manner, he was one of the few people in the world.
Yes. He even wore a sword behind him. The sword was not out of its scabbard, so I don't know how sharp it was. But the scabbard was made of shark skin, with a gold mouth, dark black, and an elegant appearance.
I couldn't help but be in awe: "Sir, the surname is Gao. Who can write poems like this? Is he an expert in the officialdom?"
A gloomy look flashed across the middle-aged man's face, but the look disappeared in a flash, and he chanted: "I am a native of Penghao, Feng Ge laughed at Confucius. I think Li Bai was able to win over mediocre people, how can I live in a temple and appear all over the world?"
If you hold a sharp weapon for your family, will you be able to make a living?"
Tang Chao's eyes widened, he shouted loudly, and rushed forward: "Li Bai, you are Li Bai, can you sign your name for me?"
But suddenly I remembered that I didn't have a pen with me, so I couldn't help but search all over my body for it.
Li Bai was also surprised: "Who are you? It seems that you know a lot about me. I hope you can tell me in detail?"
The Tang Dynasty chanted loudly: "The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the blue sky! The water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, and rushes to the sea never to return. Also, in the white emperor's colorful clouds, thousands of miles of rivers and tombs return in one day, and the hoofbeats of the apes on both sides of the bank are silent.
Come on, the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains. Also, "Sleepwalking in the Heavenly Mother's Farewell" (Silent Night Thoughts)) (Listening to the Flute in Luocheng on a Spring Night)), these are all written by you, right?"
Li Bai looked at Tang Chao interestingly, and after listening to his breathless words, he suddenly sighed: "Yes, I didn't expect that my dear brother could still remember a few of my empty words. It's rare, but I would like to advise my dear brother, although Bai Bo has
Although Bai is arrogant and self-confident, he is still smarter than many people in the temple, but he never expected that the more talented he is, the more jealous he will be.
They shared the same suspicion, but were ostracized and could not be tolerated by the world, so they traveled around the world to relieve the depression in their chests."
Originally, as Li Bai, he would not say these words to a young man he met for the first time. However, Li Bai, a person who behaves spontaneously and rarely abides by the etiquette of the world, felt it in his heart and actually said it to this stranger in Tang Dynasty.
came out.
Tang Chao was overjoyed and suddenly knelt down: "Li, Li Hanlin, please accept me as your disciple?"
He obviously did not expect to meet the greatest poet in history in the remote countryside of Nanzhao, and he felt admiration for him. He kowtowed to him willingly.
As soon as Li Bai heard this, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face: "Young man, it's rare for you to have this kind of ambition, but I'm no longer an official, so I can't obey your orders!" He didn't really care about Tang Chao as he knelt on the ground.
Take a look.
In fact, it was not Li Bai who was arrogant, but the title "Li Hanlin" that Li Bai greatly disliked. Li Bai's biggest disappointment in his life was that when he first went to Chang'an to seek an official position, he was treated coldly by Li Longji. When he first arrived in Chang'an,
At that time, the scenery was beautiful, and Ying Sheng's poems were written by several hands, such as "The clouds think of clothes and flowers think of face, the spring breeze blows on the threshold and the dew is rich", "Yao Tai should be ashamed to live in Chang'e, and the Yang family has a goddess and fairy." His talents even shocked the government and the public.
, which made the world's literati willing to bow down. However, he did not expect that because he was disrespectful to the eunuch Gao Lishi, he was asked to take off his shoes twice when he was drunk. He held a grudge and took revenge. In the end, he only served as an official in name only.
Without real power, he was reduced to the status of a trickster when Li Longji and Yang Guifei drank and played and sang. The purpose of survival was just to write poems to make the king laugh. What troubled Li Bai even more was that the princes and nobles actually imitated Li Longji, even though he was famous.
Inviting him to the banquet actually meant asking him to compose a poem, so Li Bai later wrote a poem angrily: "How can An Neng destroy his eyebrows, cover his waist, and serve the powerful, so that I can't be happy?" Then he wrote (Sleepwalking Tianmu's Song of Farewell) to bid farewell to Chang'an.
You princes are wandering around the world to sell what they have learned, but they don’t want to be met by the Tang Dynasty today.
The Tang Dynasty man didn't know where he offended this big shot, and said: "Li, Mr. Li, although you are not a Hanlin scholar, the scholars in the world know that your talent is more admirable than those real Hanlin officials and senior officials.
"Senior, since you don't want to accept me as your disciple, is it because you think this boy is stupid?"
Li Bai was secretly surprised. Hearing that this boy's words were extraordinary, he couldn't really underestimate him, and said: "There are many masters in the world, and those like Bai are so capable that they can't be counted. Kuang Bai likes to be alone. It's really...
Shocked."
After saying this, I was afraid that the Tang Dynasty would continue to entangle me, so I turned around and left.
The Tang Dynasty was in a hurry, and suddenly he had a plan in mind, and he chanted loudly: "The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure are all gone, but the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times! Mr. Li is so devoted to fame and wealth.
Although he is concerned about the common people in the world, he can't help but say something for others, Li Bai is just a common person!"
These few words, like a hook, quickly lured Li Bai back, and he said eagerly: "I didn't expect to meet an expert here today. Li Bai became arrogant, so I apologize to my wise brother!" After that!
He bowed deeply, his attitude was very sincere, and he helped Tang Chao up.
However, Tang Chao deliberately refused to get up and only said: "If Mr. Li agrees to accept me as his disciple, I will get up!" The implication is that if you don't agree, I won't get up.
Li Bai pondered for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said: "My dear brother, your literary talents are not inferior to those of a hundred. Although I am a few years older than you, I don't dare to think of myself as a master. If my dear brother thinks highly of me, just call me big brother, right?"
"
"You, you said you wanted to form a lifelong friendship with me?" Tang Chao's voice trembled.
"Yes, I wonder if Bai can climb high?"
"Okay, haha, okay!" Tang Chao shouted, and immediately knelt on the ground and bowed eight times to Li Bai, saying, "Brother Li!" The joy in his heart was so intense that it almost made his body explode.
Li Bai also knelt down to return the gift, and the man who called him a wise brother helped Tang Chao up, pretending to be serious and said: "Then from now on, we will share blessings and share hardships!"
"Of course." Tang Chao finished quickly, not forgetting to add "Brother Li!" at the end.
A smile suddenly appeared on Li Bai's face: "Although I have bowed to you, I haven't asked my brother's name yet."
"My name is, no, my surname is Tang, and my name is Chao."
"What, is it from the imperial court?" Li Bai's eyes flashed.
Tang Chao nodded and said, "Yes, is there anything wrong?"
Li Bai said: "This name is not allowed to be called. It's no big deal for me to call you in this remote place in the southwest. But if I still call you like this when I get to the court, I'm afraid it will cause big trouble. Let me help you give me an idea.
, when you go to Chang'an or the court, although you can be called like this, you might as well say to others that your name is 'Chao', the 'Chao' of Bird's Nest, do you think it's okay?"
The Tang Dynasty immediately remembered what Xie Xiaoyi said at that time, saying that this was a crime of disrespect and a crime of beheading. Now Li Bai said this again. How could it be false? He thanked him loyally: "Okay, thank you Brother Li!
"
Li Bai smiled slightly: "As I said, I want to ask you, those few sentences you just recited are the most touching sentences that Bai has heard in more than 30 years. They are like poetry but the number of words is different, they are like literature but
The charm is not the same, but the phonology is beautiful and the meaning of the words is meaningful. It has never been seen before, and Bai Shen is amazed!"
The Tang Dynasty screamed and felt ashamed in his heart. Fortunately, in the critical moment, he remembered this poem ("Linjiang Immortal") written by Yang Shen of the Ming Dynasty. Not only did he keep this great poet in his footsteps, but he also unexpectedly became sworn brothers with him.
It all depends on this lyrics. When I heard him ask this question, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "This is a piece of nonsense lyrics that is made up of nonsense. It is extremely vulgar. I will recite the entire text below. I hope you won't laugh at me?"
Now recite the full text of this poem:
The rolling Yangtze River passes by, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure are all gone, but the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. The white-haired fisherman and woodcutter on the river are used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze, and happily meet each other over a pot of turbid wine. How many things happened in ancient and modern times,
They were all laughing and talking.
Li Bai listened carefully while chanting, and suddenly praised: "Wonderful! What a success or failure, the green mountains are still there." No matter how great the achievements, no matter how strong the martial arts, in the end it is just in vain.
My dear brother is so young, but I didn’t expect to have such a realization. I am so passionate about my brother, but my dear brother happened to be right in my words, and I still can’t let go of the word ‘fame’. I’m really at a disadvantage!”
Tang Chao felt ashamed in his heart. Wasn't this infringing on other people's copyright? But when he thought that Yang Shen was dead when he learned this poem, he didn't feel uneasy. He shamelessly advised: "What did Brother Li say? Confucianism believes in:
A gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement, cultivate himself, manage his family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. This is what a man should do. Brother Li is determined to forge ahead, which makes my younger brother admire him very much!"
Li Bai laughed and said, "Brother Tang, we felt like old friends at the first sight. As my brother, I love wine so much, how about we go to the restaurant in front for a drink?"
The Tang Dynasty was feeling hungry, and hearing the words was like listening to fairy music: "Excellent, very good!"
