“Liu Piao felt sorry for himself and left Beijing and Luo for more than ten years.”

　　　The husband is poor and lowly, so there is no money for drinks when we meet today.

This poem is about Dong Tinglan and his own situation. Both of them sighed. But for a moment, they laughed boldly, cherishing this friendship of "meeting without money for drinks".

 After talking about the current situation in detail, Gao Shi asked: "Isn't Mr. Dong originally under Fang Gong's family?"

“Fanggong has been demoted.” Dong Tinglan sighed, “It’s very difficult for me to live in Chang’an, so I also plan to travel around, so I wanted to go to the middle of Song Dynasty to see you. Why did you come to Chang’an?”

Gao Shi's face became serious and he responded: "Zimei wrote a letter to persuade me to become an official in the imperial examination. The letter mentioned that the five sons of Chunwei had suppressed the atmosphere in the imperial examination at the beginning of the year. Did Mr. Dong hear about it?"

Dong Tinglan said: "More than just hearing about it, Fang Gong's external derogation is also related to this matter. Did you know that there is a person in Chang'an who has become famous in the past year?"

“I know that Zimei wrote a letter to persuade me to come to Chang’an to look for Xue Lang.”

 Dong Tinglan nodded and talked about these things in more detail.

He is a well-known violinist today, but unlike court musicians like Li Guinian, he was a late bloomer. He even worked as a beggar when he was young. He did not become famous until he was fifty years old. He lived in Fangguan Mansion as a doorman and served as a guest for guests.

Performance.

In the Chun Nao incident, he actually appreciated the actions of Chun Nao's five sons for daring to fight for justice for the world's scholars, and Fang Guan also encouraged King Guangping to come forward. As for some subsequent events, he, a luthier, did not know the details. He only knew that Fang Guan was responsible for the incident.

After being demoted, Dong Tinglan had no ill feelings towards Xue Bai, and believed that the world-famous Fang Guan spared no effort to keep these young people in office. This was also the view of most people.

"Therefore, according to what I see, Xue Bai has no ability to influence the academic field. He is just lucky enough to have the blessing of his father-in-law first and then the favor of Uncle Yang Guo."

"I see."

Gao Shi saw that Du Fu praised Xue Bai in his letter, and guessed that Dong Tinglan was a musician after all, so he responded: "Since I'm in Chang'an, I'd better go and get to know him."

"That's fine." Dong Tinglan said: "Li Shiyilang is also going to participate in Tianbao Seven Years Spring Festival, and he also intends to pay a visit to Xue Lang recently. How about asking him to take you with him?"

“Hahaha, I guess I am here for the spring festival, and I really want to pay a visit to Xue Lang.”

The next day, when Li Jiayou heard that Gao Shi wanted to see Xue Bai, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Among the five sons in Spring, Huangfu Ran and I are close friends. Find a time for you and me to go to his house."

How about a trip?"

 “Well, thank you very much, Shishiro.”

 “Yes, you’re welcome.”

Li Jiayou was free and uninhibited and waved his hand casually. He was the son of a rich man. Although he was polite to a famous poet like Gao Shi, he didn't care too much. Instead, he looked at Dong Tinglan.

“Mr. Dong, I know that Xue Lang has been rehearsing an opera recently, and it will be presented to the emperor for appreciation. How about we go together? Maybe Xue Lang appreciates your piano skills and wants to give you a chance to be enshrined in the palace.”

"No, no need." Dong Tinglan declined quickly and said with a wry smile: "What the young man is looking for is sensuality. I have such an ugly old face, how can I get his recommendation?"

 “Presumably Xue Lang is not such an impetuous person.”

"I'm old and don't have such enterprising spirit." Dong Tinglan obviously didn't believe it and waved his hand.

Gao Shi took the matter very seriously and advised, "Mr. Dong, should we go together? Although I lived in the Liang and Song Dynasties, I have also heard Xue Lang's poems. I should not be a person who only cares about beauty."

After all, it was a friend he hadn’t seen for many years who spoke, so Dong Tinglan reluctantly agreed.

Xue's house in Xuanyangfang was full of singing and dancing.

Xue Bai doesn't live here, so he comes here only once in a while. He was listening to Niannu explaining the music to him that day.

“The twelve laws, from low to high, are Huangzhong, Dalu, Taicu and Jiazhong..

Facing the explanation of such a stunning beauty, Xue Bai became more and more confused as he listened. Finally, when Li Tengkong came over and said that Li Yue had arrived, he stood up.

“Okay, let’s learn these today and wait for me to digest them slowly.”

“Here.” Nian Nu wanted to continue teaching him and said with a smile: “Nu’s family will take Xue Lang’s test next time.”

Xue Bai actually studied very hard, and became more and more aware of what music requires talent. However, this was what he had to learn in order to improve himself, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "You are really a good teacher."

 He followed Li Tengkong to the hall and saw a young man with his hands clasped behind his back, looking up at the portrait in the hall.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the young man turned around. He had a good appearance, eyes like stars, and a gentle temperament...but it was Ji Yue.

 Li Yue was not very pretty when she was dressed as a woman, but her temperament showed off in her men's attire. She held her hand politely and said with a smile: "Xue Lang is very polite. Xiaosheng Zhang Gong, courtesy name Junrui, is from Xiluo."

Xue Bai was too lazy to make trouble with her, and didn't even want to approach her. He asked, "If you want to pretend to be Zhang Sheng, how can you ensure that you won't lose on purpose?"

"It is precisely because I am afraid that the saint will grant me a marriage that I must help Xue Lang win this game." Li Yue said: "At this moment,

At that time, it was my grandfather’s wish to ask me to marry you. Now my grandfather is living in the palace and reflecting on it. If I don’t marry you, I am reflecting on it.”

This little girl probably got the advice of Li Mi or someone and knew what was beneficial to the East Palace. What she said was in the interest of the East Palace, not Li Heng's personal interests. Xue Bai saw that she was wise, nodded slightly in his heart, and said

He said: “I also have artistic pursuits.

"Um?"

Li Yue turned around gracefully and said: "My singing skills are not something that 'Xue Baixian' can pick and choose."

"This opera is not an ordinary singing method." Xue Bai insisted on opening his voice a few times and showed her the singing style of the opera. "I know, Alan has told me... Xiaosheng studied hard in the cold window and learned a lot of articles.

It is still wandering in the lakes and seas, how can we achieve our great ambitions! A thousand-gold sword hides the autumn water, and the spring sorrow of the horse weighs on the embroidered saddle!"

Li Yue came as soon as she came, stretched her arms, walked around the hall, and turned her head at the last one, sarcastically and coolly.

Xue Bai was silent for a moment, knowing that he had indeed underestimated her.

“That’s it, I’ll leave this drama to the three Miss Lis.”

After hearing this, Li Jilan's eyes became more joyful and she smiled and said: "This bet is related to a major event in your life, so please leave it to us."

She was glared at by her two friends. At this moment, Xue Bai received a notice that a guest was coming, so he went to the front hall to entertain the guest.

ˆˆQ

There were three guests in the hall, apparently headed by the young and handsome young master Li Jiayou.

 But after the ceremony, Xue Bai looked at the middle-aged man in shabby clothes, his expression was different.

 “Gao Shi? I have admired your name for a long time!”

“I have also admired Xue Lang’s reputation for a long time.

“The warriors are half dead in front of the army, but the beauties are still singing and dancing under the tents.” Xue Bai asked directly: “Who is this poem by Brother Gao satirizing?”

This is the most widely circulated poem by Gao Shi today. Some people say it is a satire on Zhang Shou, and some people say it is a satire on Anlushan.

Xue Bai also talked about this topic when chatting with the Yan brothers, and he was more inclined to the latter.

In the 24th year of Kaiyuan, Zhang Shou sent An Lushan to attack Xi and Khitan. It was because An Lushan underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, which led to the great defeat. Zhang Jiuling wanted to kill An Lushan for this reason; and An Lushan liked sensuality.

Singing and dancing, able to compose Hu Xuan dance by oneself;

 In addition, Gao Shi did not satirize Zhang Shou in his poems of the same period, but praised Zhang Shou.

Of course, it is the poet who has the final say as to who is being satirized.

At this time, there was a straight-to-the-point question, but Gao Shi's answer was about taking sides in the power field. Zhang Shou has passed away, and the holy family of Anlu Mountain is strong.
