At this time, the Tang Dynasty's poetry style still followed the etiquette of Qi and Liang, and did not reach the height of Yu Xin, and only a few people began to change their poetry style... The original representative work was Wang Ji's "Ambition": Looking at the east tower in the evening, where can we rely on the desire to rely on.

The trees and trees are all in autumn, and the mountains and mountains are all in the setting sun.

The shepherd drove the calves back, and hunted horses and brought birds back.

Looking at each other without knowing each other, singing forever with picking jade.

There is also Wei Zheng's "Going Out of the Pass": The Central Plains was first competing for Lu, and he worked as a member of Rong Xuan.

Even if you don’t make up your plan, you will still have generous will.

He visited the emperor with a stick and drove his horse out of the door.

I asked my beloved to be in the south of Guangdong and follow the Shi to the eastern vassal.

The mountains are lush and the mountains appear and appear in the plains.

Ancient trees sing cold birds, and empty mountains cry at night apes.

He was hurt by his eyes and was shocked by his soul.

Isn’t I afraid of hardships and dangers, and deeply care about the kindness of the country’s soldiers?

Ji Bu made no promise, Hou Ying said one thing more.

Life is full of energy, and who will continue to discuss fame and fortune!

Especially the poem that follows is full of loyalty and has not seen the 100-6 dynasties and is a mileage card for the transformation of Tang poetry.

Then there were the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, Wang, Yang, Lu, Luo and Chen Zhiang. The poetry style began to become fresher, laying the foundation for the arrival of Tang poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. After the four heroes, the Song Zhiwen and Shenxian period appeared again. The two of them had a beautiful style of poetry, but they also had a few works of gold and stone such as "The Tester Goes Out of the Frontier". In addition to these two, there were also big-name Cui Rong and the article master Su Weidao.

In fact, the most popular one at this time was Shangguan style. There was Shangguan Yi in front of him. After Emperor Gaozong of Tang transferred the political center to the eastern capital Luoyang, he served as prime minister. One day when the palace gate was opened, he saw the scenery at dawn. At that time, he was full of energy, so he wrote a song "Walking on the Moon into the Luodi Dynasty": The flowing waters spread, driving horses across Changzhou. Magpie flies in the mountains and the moon dawns, and cicadas quiver the wild wind and autumn.

After reading this poem, the officials looked like a god. It was probably not that serious. It was other officials who were flattering. However, his poems were so beautiful that they were regarded as orthodox at that time. Later, his daughter Shangguan Wan'er promoted his father's poem style. Every time this girl was published, people all over the world competed to copy and chant.

There is another alternative among them. The general Guo Yuanzhen, although he is a general, his poem is very well written, especially the poem "Sword Chapter", which describes the heroes who are not appreciated by talent, but is extremely bold. Wu Zetian appreciated his poem and began to use it seriously after reading this poem.

However, overall, Tang poetry is now beginning to become thicker, but it has not yet reached the vast realm of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Therefore, after seeing the young man write this poem, his face was all pale.

Especially after Di Renjie saw it, a huge storm arose in his heart!

At this time, the Tang Dynasty's military strength began to gradually decline. First, it was defeated by the Khitan and then by the Turks. There were countless soldiers in front of it, and many people on the border suffered disasters. However, the court continued to open the border, but many generals who could conquer and fight were killed in the court and destroyed the Great Wall.

Therefore, in October last year, Di Renjie wrote a letter saying: "The four barbarians were born in nature, all of which were outside the prefectures of the previous kings. Therefore, they resisted the sea in the east and blocked the quicksand in the west... But they should entrust the border soldiers to guard the garrison, gather resources, wait for their own efforts, and then attack them. With the help of the labor, the soldiers will be more powerful, and with the commander to control the guests, I will be able to get it. If the walls are clear and the fields are clear, the captains will be nothing. Naturally, the two thieves will have the thought of striking and striking, and the shallow will not benefit from the enemy. In this case, the two thieves will be subdued without attacking."

In fact, this method is not good. This seems to be how the Song Dynasty played. The main reason for the decline in the Tang Dynasty's military strength was that the system of the palace was corrupted at Wu Zetian's hands, and Wu Zetian killed many generals who were good at fighting. This was one of Wu Zetian's three major criticisms.

This poem is a satirizing that the main general is arrogant and underestimated the enemy and did not care about the soldiers, resulting in the failure of the war. This reminds Di Renjie of Wang Xiaojie underestimating the enemy last year and was defeated by the Khitan. The 170,000 Tang troops were almost dead. Therefore, when Di Renjie saw this poem, he resonated with his ideas.

The most rare thing is that this poem is written in a tragic and vast manner, and it makes people feel a lot after reading it. Therefore, Di Renjie almost exclaimed after reading it.

Not only Di Renjie. At this time, everyone sitting there could be said that almost all the elite poets of the Tang Dynasty gathered. But after hearing this poem, they were all confused and even the arrogant Comrade Lao Du did not speak. Compared with this poem, it is no wonder that Shangguan Wan'er looked down on all their poems just now.

Di Renjie pulled Cui Xian, Song Yuanshuang, Ji Xu aside and asked in a low voice: "Do you know who wrote this poem?"

Such a poem must be popular all over the world as soon as it was published, but Di Renjie had never heard of it. He had never heard of it, and Song Yuanshuang and the other two shook their heads in a daze.

Di Renjie and the three adults looked at each other and thought to themselves: Could it be that this poem was written by this young man?

At this moment, they suddenly heard the boy sigh again, looking at the painting and said, "Although the paper is stubborn and the ink is simple and thick, the paintings are without the meaning and the characters are without the shape. When will I reach the level of success?"

As he said that, he picked up the picture from the drawing board and reached out to tear it off.

Di Renjie said anxiously: "Don't rush to tear it!"

I was really anxious. First of all, this painting is the unique painting method. Not to mention its unique style, the painting skills may not be as good as the best in the world, but it is also a top-notch product. Later generations called famous painters of the Tang Dynasty were nothing more than Wu Daozi, Li Sixun, Yan Liben, Wang Wei and others. However, at this time, the Tang Dynasty was influenced by the nine levels of the Jin Dynasty, and divided various painters into different levels, and the rankings were very different from those in the eyes of later generations.

Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, the character of painters in the eyes of the Tang people was three princes: King Yuanchang of Han, King Li Xu of Jiangdu, and King Li Zhanran of Siteng. Their ranking first had nothing to do with their achievements in painting, mainly because of their transcendent status. However, these three were all famous for their good paintings of bees, butterflies, birds and birds.

Secondly, there was one person in the top of the divine category, Wu Daozi, one person in the top of the divine category, Zhou Fang, seven people in the bottom of the divine category, Yan Liben, Yuchi Yiseng, Yan Lide, Han Wu, Li Sixun, Zhang Yu. The seven people in the top of the divine category, Wei Wugui, Zhu Shen, Wang Wei, Wei Yan, Wang Zai, Yang Yan, Han Huan. Five people in the divine category, Chen Hong, Fan Changshou, Zhang Xuan, Cheng Xiuji, Bian Luan. Ten people in the divine category, Feng Shaozheng, Zhang Xiaoshi, etc., six people in the divine category, including Chen Tan, twenty-eight people in the divine category, and twenty-eight people in the divine category, and twenty-six people in the divine category, and twenty-six people in the divine category, and three people in the divine category, Wang Mo, Zhang Zhihe, and Li Lingsheng.

This ranking is very harsh, and even Zhang Xiaoshi, Wu Zhimin and others did not squeeze in. Of course, it is only the early Tang Dynasty to the middle Tang Dynasty, and this ranking has not yet come out. But if we follow this ranking, in Di Renjie's eyes, this young man's magical painting skills will naturally be unavailable, and the wonderful products are also difficult to follow. But if we want to rank, we can barely enter the middle and lower levels of ability.

If this young man knew that the most famous prime minister of the dynasty actually gave him such a high price, he might be flattered. In fact, it was also related to Di Renjie's psychology. If he was ranked within these nine ranks, it was also the reason for seeing this poem.

Moreover, this young man's hand seems to have set a precedent for calligraphy, and the most rare thing is this poem. If this painting and this poem are handed over to the hands of Emperor Wu, how much shock would it have to the Emperor Wu?

The boy turned around, his eyes confused. When did so many people come, four people in official uniforms, and dozens of soldiers stood not far away from the guards.

Even so, he was not nervous at all. He looked at Di Renjie, his eyes were still blank, but he was not nervous. He just lifted the robe and asked vigilantly: "This envoy, this painting was painted by a boy. You tear it off and didn't offend the envoy."

If it weren't for Wu Zetian's current government control, and he would kill people and destroy the clan at any time, this young man might have said: "My paintings can be tear as much as I want, and I don't care about your nonsense."

Di Renjie said: "This little brother, I want to buy the painting you painted."

Buy my painting? A surprise appeared in the boy's eyes. Good thing. Now I'm so poor that I don't even have money to buy a pen. He asked, "So, how much money will you give me?"

Never give just one copper plate, as it is not enough to buy paper.

Di Renjie smiled and took out a silver cake from his arms. The silver ingot was quite large, and it looked at least a dozen taels, emitting a shiny color in the sun.

"Mr. Di, this is too expensive." Ji Xu said from the side.

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive. Isn't it true that Zhiyong is a thousand stones per word?"

Chu Suiliang wrote very well and once asked Yu Shinan: "How is my calligraphy better than Zhiyong?"

Yu Shinan replied: "I heard that one word is worth 50,000, is your word worth the money?"

At that time, the grain was cooked very much, and the rice was five cents, which means that Zhiyong's word was worth a thousand stones of grain. However, after Li Shimin's rule in the Tang Dynasty, the country was peaceful and gradually became rich, and the trend of extravagance and praise began to emerge. At that time, people valued calligraphy and painting, which caused some of the works of the world to be hyped up by the world and were of great value. Not only calligraphy and painting, but also poetry and prose can also be sold. Li Yong was good at stele chanting, and many people used a lot of money to seek literature, and they earned countless money in front and after. Historical books used huge tens of thousands to describe it, but it is unknown how many hundreds of thousands or millions were.

In the Tang Dynasty, gold and silver were used as currency, but because it was precious, it was not often used, and it was not a mainstream currency. It was necessary to use gold and silver in the cabinet shop and gold and silver shop to exchange it for copper coins before it could be used. However, because the loss of gold and silver was not as big as that of the Song Dynasty, the exchange relationship between gold and silver and copper coins was relatively stable. This ingot of silver was more than ten taels, and it was more than ten thousand entries for copper coins. The young man's calligraphy and painting may be worth so much, but the value of calligraphy and painting depends on the reputation of the author. From the latter point, it is obvious that Di Renjie's outstanding price was a little higher.

Di Renjie did not answer. One was to cherish his talent. Judging from the young man's clothes and paper, pen, ink and ink, his family was poor, and Di Renjie wanted to help him. The second was to see how the young man reacted when he saw this huge sum of money.

Chapter 14: Accompaniment

The young man looked at the silver ingot and looked at the painting he drew. He scratched his hair and asked Di Renjie: "Old envoy, my painting is not worth so much."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Where are you worth it or not? If you say you are worth it, you will be worth it, and if you are not worth it, you will be worth it."

At this time, there was no standard trading market for calligraphy and painting. Most of them made a living by selling calligraphy and paintings, but the price was not high. However, a few real masters were ashamed of selling paintings. Those who asked them for help also gave gifts. In fact, as Di Renjie said, the real masters' work was very vague.

But I am the one who is the one who is here? This young man thought of it.

Di Renjie also found it interesting when he looked at his expression.

The young man looked at the silver in Di Renjie's hand and said after a long time: "Although a gentleman does not accept food from pity, isn't this considered food from pity?"

Di Renjie laughed again and said, "No, this is someone who used this money to buy your painting."

The young man then stood up, came to Di Renjie, bowed and said, "This envoy, although I know that this painting is not worth the money, the old envoy mercies me. But five dou of rice stumps of heroes, the kid's life is a bit embarrassing. The old envoy's money is of great help to the kid. Although the envoy's clothes are wearing purple clothes, he must be a great minister in the court. Whatever the kid says after the reward is overestimated. But I believe that kid will make the envoy's money worth the money."

Although he was very kind, he accepted it calmly.

Cui Xian and the other two looked at each other with smiles on their faces. This young man is really a strange man with extraordinary behavior, and his behavior is unique to ordinary people. His manners are elegant, and he has the charm of the famous scholars of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

The young man put the silver into his robe and said, "These envoys' official uniforms are either red or purple, and they follow the army eastward along the way. They must be officials who sent troops from Hebei, right?"

Di Renjie nodded. This young man had great eyesight.

The boy said again: "Then the boy is favored by this envoy, please give me another painting for the old envoy."

"That's good," Di Renjie applauded. The boy had never seen any complicated painting techniques or the brushwork of writing this grass. Now that he wanted to paint again, he also wanted to re-view it.

After Di Renjie finished speaking, he said to his housekeeper: "Take out a set of paper, ink, pen and inkstone from somebody's luggage."

The paper, pen, and ink used by this young man were very low, which affected the quality of his calligraphy and paintings. Although Di Renjie was not rich, he was the prime minister of the dynasty and the court also distributed paper and ink regularly. Therefore, the sets of four treasures of the study brought with him were of excellent quality. Di Renjie was to be pity for talent, and the other was to see how this young man could use these four treasures to bring his talents to the point.

After a while, the housekeeper brought a few pieces of paper and a set of pen, ink and inkstones.

The papermaking industry began to develop in the Tang Dynasty. The most famous ones were the hemp paper in Yizhou, the vine paper in Wuzhou, the bamboo paper in Yuemin, the mulberry paper in Jiangnan, the Lianshi paper in Linchuan, the fragrant velvet paper in Luozhou, the moss paper in the coastal areas, and the cocoon paper, mulberry paper and other types. The best ones were the hemp paper in Yizhou, which was a special paper for the imperial court, and it was divided into two types: jute and white hemp. However, jute can only be used exclusively by the prime minister, so it is called Xuanhe.

The boy just used ordinary hemp paper with the hemp grass produced in the Central Plains to make pulp. Although Yiheiming paper is called hemp paper, the materials used are made of rags to make pulp. The quality of the two cannot be compared.

The old butler brought it to Yizhou hemp paper, but he didn't dare to take jute and let the young man paint.

In addition, the other four types of study treasures brought by the butler were not ordinary four treasures of study. The boy couldn't help but lose his composure when he saw it, "Yizhou melon paper, Chang'an tung oil orchid coal ink, Xuancheng Zhuge Zihao pen, Wuyuan Longwei Jinxing Inkstone!"

Di Renjie was a little surprised. Hey, although this young man was poor, his knowledge was quite good. He recognized the origin of these four treasures at a glance.

Of course, he didn't know that this young man was a man in two lifetimes, had extensive knowledge in his previous life, and was more interested in collecting various collections. He thought that the origin of these four treasures was not unusual. If he couldn't recognize them now, it would be awful.

The young man started grinding ink, good generals and soldiers, good horses and saddles. With these kinds of paper, ink, pens and inkstones, the young man also became energetic. The ink became stronger and stronger in the inkstone. The young man stood up and said to Di Renjie: "Is this old envoy able to play the flute?"

Di Renjie nodded. The flute is not difficult, he has been playing since he was a child. He just doesn’t understand the boy’s intentions.

The young man said again: "So can the old envoy play a song "June" for me?"

Di Renjie's housekeeper immediately scolded: "Bold!"

It seems that he is really brave. Di Renjie is a prime minister. Now the deputy marshal of Zhengbei, the prince has not come. In fact, he is the Grand Marshal. How can he play the flute for you a gangster? Do you think you are the King of Qin!

Di Renjie made a gesture, signaling the butler not to be angry, and said to the young man: "Thank you for your kindness."

In fact, Cui Xian and the other two also understood the intention of the boy. Although they may not know their exact identities, their group of people were either Zi or Fei in official uniforms, and they must be important officials going to the north. The boy asked about this just now. Now that Di Renjie is asking him to play "June", the boy has ulterior motives.

"June" comes from "The Book of Songs, Xiaoya", which praises the heroic officials of King Xuan of Zhou, Yin Jifu, who was a hero of the revival of King Xuan of Zhou, and his outstanding command ability, and helped King Xuan of Zhou successfully defeat Yan Yan. This is the boy's blessing for them to win the flag. But the boy asked Di Renjie to play the flute, and then immediately changed from flattery, and he was a little strong-willed. I just wish you, but not flattering you.

Among the four, except Di Renjie, Ji Xu had the highest status. This man was vicious and dared to speak out, and was known for his cruelty. He was a famous cruel official in Wu Zetian's time. But he was different from Lai Junchen and others. Although he was cruel, he did not kill people randomly, and he knew the general idea. The most important thing was that he was brave and dared to make suggestions. After Lai Junchen's crime was exposed, Wu Zetian was reluctant to kill Lai Junchen. Ji Xu stopped Wu Zetian's carriage and forcibly persuaded Wu Zetian to kill this person. Finally, he brought this violent official to justice. After Lai Junchen was executed, the people of Tokyo rushed to cut the meat and trampled into mud. He also advised the two Zhangs to make Li a legitimate, and finally made Wu Zetian make the decision to pass on his son but not his nephew.

Therefore, this young man's behavior not only matched the taste of Di Renjie, who is famous for his integrity, but also the taste of Ji Xu.
