Feng Heming

Chapter 34 Dividing the spoils
In the pavilion next to the garden, Li Taiwei, Jiang Taifu, Cui Da Sikong, Lu Dasinong, Zheng Dahonglu, Wang Taipu and others sat in front of the table, and there were three pieces of paper in front of their eyes.

Li Taiwei read the three poems very seriously, and then smiled at Wang Taipu next to him: "Your Xingjin calligraphy is getting better and better."

Wang Taipu smiled modestly, "Don't praise him, lest this kid's tail go up to the sky."

Li Taiwei casually handed the three poems to Cui Da Sikong next to him, as if they were insignificant things.

After the three poems were circulated in the hands of the six giants, the last Zheng Dahonghe smiled and read: "I am born to be useful, and I will come back after all the money is gone. Well, I am a child with ambition."

and then?
Then there is no more.

Gu Yidan thought that his three poems would make the giants astonished, sighed, and praised a lot, but in fact, in the eyes of the six giants, they were not as important as Wang Xingjin's words.

In the end, it was Zheng Dahong who saw that no one commented on this poem, so he casually praised it.

Are these three poems not worthy of praise?
Of course not, just one song "Will Enter the Wine" is enough to be famous through the ages.

Too bad it didn't come at the right time.

Li Bai was in the prosperous age of Kaiyuan. At that time, the Tang Dynasty was a kingdom of heaven. This battle established China's status as the world's most powerful country, and the Chinese emperor was revered as Tian Khan.

In addition, the Tang army also defeated the coalition forces of the Arab Empire and Tubo, regained Xiaoboli, and opened up the territory. This battle established the territory of Xinjiang.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty could be said to be the dynasty of all nations, and the people had a very strong self-confidence, so a group of romantic literati and poets were born. The poems written by these literati and poets all brought a kind of boldness. atmosphere.

But now?

It has only been more than ten years since the founding of Beiliang, and there are still people who are still hungry. Under such conditions, how can anyone have the heart to write poems and make right?
As for the sons and daughters of aristocratic families, it is all entertainment. Once those children of aristocratic families are about to enter the court, poetry will no longer be useful to them.

For a giant like Jiuqing, poetry and songs are not as important as a statement that is beneficial to the people.

What's more, in the eyes of these tycoons, the little ladies are going to marry other people's wives after all, and they can't be officials, so it's not worth the tycoons' attention to them.

If it is a man who writes the poem "I am born to be useful, and I will come back after all my money is gone", the giants are still interested in seeing him and evaluating whether he can be used.

At least half of Gu Yidan's plan failed.

Li Taiwei ordered the servant who was waiting by the side, "These three poems are the best fighting skills today, go and ask the housekeeper to give that little lady Gu a set of the Four Treasures of the Study."

"No." The servant backed away.

The giants also left Gu Yidan behind, and began to talk about the main purpose of today's meeting.

"My Dalang came back from his study tour. He has improved a lot in the past few years. Even my grandfather is very satisfied with his homework."

As today's host, Li Taiwei did his part to make a start.

Cui Da Sikong also chuckled, twisted his beard and said: "My Shiro has also experienced it."

Zheng Dahonglu smiled slightly, "My Erlang is going back to the capital soon."

Lu Dasinong immediately said: "My Sanlang has also learned something."

Wang Taipu said slowly, "My Dalang, you all praised him just now."

Li Taiwei and others cursed inwardly for being cheeky.

There was only one person present who remained silent.

Jiang Taifu leisurely picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

Facing Wu Dao's piercing eyes, Jiang Taifu said leisurely, "Didn't you say it before, my family's descendants are unworthy, but they are not as good as your family's talented people. I really envy you."

It's a pity that no trace of envy can be seen on his face, otherwise it would be more convincing.

Facing such a shameless Jiang Taifu, the others secretly scolded the old fox.

The gentlemen they mentioned are the five most outstanding among the younger generation.

Li Jia Dalang, Li Zhongwen.

Cui Jiashiro, Cui Yushu.

Zheng Jiaerlang, Zheng Hean.

Lu Jiasanlang, Lu Zijin.

Wang Jiadalang, Wang Xingjin.

It is the five handsome men of the capital.

Rather than saying that the giants came to celebrate Li Taiwei's birthday today, it is better to say that they came to share the spoils.

What swag?

Recommended places.

These giants have high hopes for their grandsons and regard them as their successors, and the position of Jiuqing in the future is prepared for them.

But among the Jiuqing, there are those who are as powerful as Taifu and Taiwei, and there are also those who live leisurely like Dahonglu. Among them, who will be Taifu, Taiwei, Dahonghe and Da Sikong in twenty years or so? In addition to relying on the talents of their young people, it also depends on the strength of their families.

Undoubtedly, a good starting point can put them several steps ahead of others.

Today's gathering is actually to share the spoils of official positions in the court.

Although there is a saying that "inner promotion does not avoid relatives", if it is true that each family nominates the children of each family, this appearance is too ugly.

It's like telling the world that the court hall in Beiliang is the hall of their aristocratic family.

If this is the case, I am afraid that the emperor will raze their family to the ground - the officials of the court are as simple as taking things out of your family's pocket, what do you want him to be an emperor?
Why don't you do it, the emperor?

Therefore, they all have a consensus that their own children should be recommended by other families, and then they will recommend other children.

As for Jiang Taifu, named Taifu, he will perform the post of prime minister and lead all officials. With him, at least he can negotiate a deal to see if he can put his grandson in an ideal position.

All of a sudden, the giants started arguing, and later, except for Jiang Taifu, who was able to stand on the sidelines, the others were almost so angry that they started full martial arts.

Speaking of whether it is suitable for the time traveler to write poems, I actually think that each dynasty has its own characteristics.

Such as the Han and Tang Dynasties, who are extremely strong externally, can beat the barbarians in the north, such as the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turks, Tubo and other foreigners, and naturally make China a kingdom of heaven, and all nations come to court.

The people at this time are extremely confident, because the country is strong, and the people naturally have confidence.

At the same time, many famous literati will emerge at this time, such as Sima Xiangru, Li Bai and others. Their poems are majestic and majestic, because they are a reflection of an era.

There are powerful dynasties like the Han and Tang Dynasties, and naturally there are also dynasties like the Song Dynasty that were beaten by the Liao, Jin and Yuan. At this time, most of the poets were of the graceful school, such as Su Shi, Li Qingzhao, etc. A patriotic poet who hopes that "Wang Shibei will set the Central Plains Day, and family sacrifices will never be forgotten".

In the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was obviously out of date to use that kind of sad and graceful poetry.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Every era has its own characteristics, and some things are not universal.

In the Han Dynasty before the Western Yuan Dynasty, it was impossible to have Jiaozi and bank notes like the Song Dynasty. Why?

Because there is no gold standard, silver standard support.

At that time, gold in the Western Han Dynasty was used as a precious metal, most of which were rewarded by the emperor to the ministers, and the ministers also liked to bring gold objects to the tomb, because they paid attention to "serving death as serving life", and there were so many gold objects in their tombs that even gold could not How can circulation be turned into currency as the gold standard?
It was not until after the Eastern Han Dynasty that it began to circulate slowly, but at that time, silver notes could not appear.

So some things can only be developed if they conform to the times.

If you have the opportunity to time travel in the future, don’t choose inappropriate poems~~
Ouch, I have said so much without realizing it, okay, let’s not talk about it, the above are the words of my family, just take a look.
