[Sword Three] Ju Huai Yi Xing Zhuang Si Fei

Said, the old man raised his sleeves and stepped forward, and was about to open his mouth to argue, but he heard the young Li Tan behind him say: "Gao Gonggong's words are not good."

"I also ask the little prince to give me some pointers." Gao Lishi's voice was a bit cold. Although he was a celebrity in front of Xuanzong, Li Heng was the crown prince at this time, and he was also the future heir. Li Tan was the third son of Li Heng. When Tubo returned to the court, the little prince gradually emerged in the court, and was praised by all the officials and loved by Xuanzong.If he had a direct conflict with Li Tan at this moment, he might burn himself. Gao Lishi is not a dull person.

What Li Tan waited for was Gao Lishi's words.Li Tan took a step forward, bowed to Emperor Xuanzong, and then said: "In the past, Duke Huan of Qi recruited talents from all over the world and founded the Jixia Academy. Anyone with any opinion could enroll. In the Jixia Academy, all the scholars debated, and a hundred schools of thought contended. Many ideas of Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, law, and agriculture gathered here to benefit future generations. There are many scholars who denigrate Qi's internal affairs in the academy, but Duke Huan tolerated and treated these scholars with courtesy. The scholar came to persuade him, King Wei of Qi cheered up, became the head of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, and Jixia students contributed a lot. At the end of the Warring States Period, Lu Buwei recruited sages and had three thousand disciples, similar to Jixia Academy. Here, Qin merged with the six kingdoms, which can show a meritorious service. Today, Changgemen is also like the folk Jixia Academy, cultivating talented people for Li and Tang, and using Mo’s political chaos as a crime.”

Li Tan argued that he was right, but Gao Lishi suddenly snorted coldly and said: "Li Si and Zhao Gao conspired to kill Fusu, the death of Qin II should also show Li Si's merit!"

Li Tan wanted to refute again, but this time he was stopped by Zhang Jiuling. The old prime minister's laughter seemed to break through the suppressed warm wind in the Hanyuan Hall. Zhang Jiuling laughed, but his eyes were very stern. He said: "Li Si Bewitched by traitors, so Qin II died, but how could the Changgemen be easily bewitched by traitors? Besides, is Eunuch Gao going to compare the saint to Hu Hai who doesn't even know deer and horses?"

Gao Lishi was startled, and cold sweat oozes from his back. Looking at Xuanzong's expression, the emperor, who was just leaning on the table, sat up straight at some point. Gao Lishi has followed Xuanzong for many years, knowing that the emperor learned to endure since he was a child, and now that he is on the throne, he doesn't get angry easily, he only hides his anger in his chest, if someone provokes his anger again, it may be out of control.Gao Lishi was so surprised that he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "The saint forgives the sin, but the old slave is not comparing your majesty with Qin II. The saint is wise and powerful, and no one can match it."

Li Tan raised his eyebrows, this Eunuch Gao was obviously flustered at the moment, and such superficial words could be said.Zhang Jiuling closed his eyes and bowed to the emperor again: "Eunuch Gao is right. The sage is wise and powerful. The sage can distinguish whether or not the Changgemen use ink to mess up the government as the villain said."

Xuanzong narrowed his eyes, the old man standing under the jade chimney, even though his head was full of silver threads, was still graceful and graceful, just like a person with a clear breeze in the moonlight.If the Changgemen really messed up the government with ink, then why didn't the prime minister who was born in the Changgemen not shake the foundation of the dynasty during his reign?

Xuanzong sighed in a low voice, and waved Gao Lishi to stand up. He took another look at the young man standing behind Zhang Jiuling with downcast eyes.When Li Heng was made the crown prince, Xuanzong hesitated, but now that he saw Li Heng's third son, Xuanzong seemed to have less worries.

"That's all, let's let this matter go." Xuanzong leaned on the table again, and waved Zhang Jiuling and Li Tan to retreat.

When Zhang Jiuling and Li Tan were about to walk out of the Hanyuan Palace, Xuanzong stopped Zhang Jiuling suddenly: "If Lord Jiuling has time, how about going to the palace to discuss a few more games with me? I haven't played chess with Lord Jiuling for a long time. , I miss it very much."

Zhang Jiuling turned around and bowed: "The old minister obeys the order."

However, Xuanzong did not expect that he would never play a hearty game of chess with Zhang Jiuling again in his life.

The sun was slanting to the west, and a carriage was driving in Chongrenfang. The old man sitting in the carriage had droopy eyelids and seemed to be asleep, but he still held on to talk with the young man sitting in the carriage.

"Why did Lord Jiuling stop me at that time? Gao Lishi was in full swing. It was inappropriate for you to oppose him." Li Tan recalled the situation when Zhang Jiuling stopped him in Hanyuan Hall just now, and said.

Zhang Jiuling shook his head lightly: "Young Lord, I am grateful for the sake of this old man. As the little prince said, Gao Lishi is in full swing, but you have not opened the house yet, so it would be unwise to fight against the celebrity in front of the saint. The court is treacherous." Well, you can't win the favor of a saint just by being upright, I'm already an old man, and I have offended many people for many years, and Gao Lishi can't do anything to me even if I offend Gao Lishi."

Li Tan was startled, and quickly understood why Zhang Jiuling stopped him at that time, Li Tan hurriedly knelt down to Zhang Jiuling and saluted to thank Zhang Jiuling for his kindness in the Hanyuan Hall.

Zhang Jiuling supported Li Tan, and said with a faint smile, "Young Lord Gao Yi, I should be the one who speaks up for the Changgemen to thank you." Zhang Jiuling also wanted to salute Li Tan.

Li Tan immediately stopped Zhang Jiuling and asked a respectable old man to salute him, but Li Tan really didn't dare to do it: "Mr. Jiuling is going to kill Li Tan."

Zhang Jiuling looked at the distressed young man on the opposite side, and suddenly burst out laughing. He immediately clapped his hands and said, "How about this, the little prince will go to Fengqi Tower and bring a pot of good green bamboo brew to my house. I will let Yifei and Xiyan play the piano." How about playing drums to add to the fun, as a thank you to each other?"

Li Tan also nodded and clapped his hands: "It's very good."

Chang'an (2)

The carriage stopped in front of a courtyard at the end of Chongrenfang, Li Tan stepped out of the carriage first, and then helped Zhang Jiuling to get off.Zhang Jiuling waved his hand to stop, and got out of the carriage by himself.In front of the gate of the courtyard, the man and woman in green shirts who had attracted people to stop not long ago bowed to the two who had just stepped off the carriage, "Yang Yifei and Feng Xiyan pay homage to the young prince."

Li Tan took a step forward, and raised his palm in the air: "Although Changgemen is in the Jianghu, it has cultivated many talented people for Li Tang, so I, Li Tan, should salute you." Yang Yifei and Feng Xiyan saluted.

Yang Yifei and Feng Xi showed embarrassment on their faces, but luckily Zhang Jiuling was present, the old man chuckled, and put his withered hand on the back of Li Tan's, Zhang Jiuling said with a smile: "Just now, the young prince said that he would drink a pot of wine as a thank you gift." , is the little prince repenting now?"

When Li Tan heard it, he explained: "Jiu Linggong misunderstood that the green bamboo brew was Li Tan's gift of thanks to Jiu Linggong, but Li Tan's worship was to thank Changsong for Li Tang."

"Changgemen and the old man don't dare to be." Zhang Jiuling patted Li Tan's hand cheerfully, "As a citizen of Li Tang, he should be loyal to the imperial court. Hanging the statues of 24 heroes, and in today's prosperous age, from the prime minister to the local officials are all loyal to the court. The prince only thanked a long song door. If others know it, they will think that the prince is partial. Jiali, I am afraid that the relationship between Changgemen and you, the prince, will be exaggerated. Do you want to thank the little prince?"

After Zhang Jiuling said this, Li Tan really couldn't go on begging.The men and women in green shirts standing by the door glanced at each other and smiled.

Li Tan also hooked the corners of his lips, revealing a slight smile: "Thank you Jiu Linggong, Li Tan has been taught."

Zhang Jiuling frowned: "Why are you thanking me again?" He pointed to the moon plate on his finger again, "Chang'an curfew, if the prince doesn't send someone to Fengqi Tower to get wine, then I really can't thank me."

"An Jun, go to Fengqi Tower and fetch ten catties of green bamboo brew!" Li Tan took out an ingot of gold and threw it to the man with the square face who followed behind him, who caught the money and immediately disappeared into the night.

Li Tan and Zhang Jiuling walked into this courtyard built in the alley of Chongrenfang, Yang Yifei and Feng Xiyan followed behind them.

Just after the first day of the new year, the spring breeze broke through, and plum blossoms were planted all over the courtyard of Zhang's mansion. Think of Yunxia in this courtyard.

Seeing that Li Tan's pace was slow, Zhang Jiuling stroked his beard and said, "The house is shabby and has no view, only these plum blossoms would be planted when I was an official. If the prince doesn't dislike it, how about putting a wine table in the plum grove? "

"That's great!" Li Tan nodded.

The servants of the Zhang residence have just set up a wine table, and the dishes will have to wait for a while.An Jun, who went to Fengqi Tower for drinks, came back quickly, Zhang Jiuling simply asked someone to warm a pot of wine first, and invited Li Tan, Yang Yifei and Feng Xiyan to sit down.

Li Tan had just chosen a seat and was about to sit at the table, but Zhang Jiuling said over there: "My lord thanked me for the wine, and I should also promise." After finishing speaking, Yang Yifei and Feng Xiyan who stood behind Zhang Jiuling saluted Li Tan together, Li Tan remembered that in the carriage Zhang Jiuling promised to thank Li Tan with the music of qin and drum, and Li Tan immediately understood what the two disciples of Changge Sect were going to do next.

Under the moonlight, the blue long piano in Yang Yifei's hand flickered, and Yang Yifei hung his finger on the strings, only to hear a soft sound, his exhaustion dissipated in an instant, and then the intense drum sound passed by, waking him up again. Li Tan clapped his hands and praised the power that had been sleeping in his heart for a long time, and the sound of the piano and the drum complemented each other. Li Tan applauded: Among the four famous families in the Jianghu, Changgemen is the most elegant. If he has time, he would like to pay a visit to one of them.

"Is the little prince satisfied with the old man's thank you gift?" Zhang Jiuling closed his eyes and shook his head, as if he was also intoxicated by the sound of the piano and drum.

Li Tan said: "Satisfied, the melody of the qin is clear, the sound of the drum is exciting, and they complement each other. If there is a long sword at this moment, Li Tan will definitely dance the sword to respond!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jiuling smiled again.Yang Yifei, who was playing the piano, suddenly withdrew his hand, and lightly tapped it from the handle of the piano, and a barely audible sound came, Li Tan's attention was on the handle and the body of the piano, which was also covered with light.
