Chapter 166 Zhang Xuan's Great Realm

Zhang Xuan stopped, turned around slowly, stared at Li Bai, smiled calmly, "Mr. Taibai, what advice do you have?"

Li Bai is unrestrained by nature, unafraid of power, and he is not afraid of powerful officials like Zhang Xuan. He squinted his eyes and said loudly through his drunkenness, "Li Bai has heard of General Zhang's reputation thousands of miles away. , has the reputation of being the number one talented man in Chang'an. However, Li Bai came all the way and met him face to face, only to find that the name of the general's talented man is nothing more than that, and his reputation is nothing more than that."

"It's unknown how talented and learned, but this attitude and heart are a little bit worse."

Li Bai's words were neither yin nor yang, neither hot nor cold, full of provocation.

The guests around were surprised when they heard this, and thought that Zhang Xuan is now so powerful that even Yang Guozhong has to be courteous, let alone you, Li Bai, a commoner scholar!
However, Li Bai is not surprising.At the beginning, Li Bai entered the court for the first time under the recommendation of Princess Yuzhen. He disdainfully despised the powerful and powerful. He once "molested" Li Linfu and Gao Lishi face to face, even to the emperor Li Longji, he was not so servile.

Wan Chun turned his head to look this way, the brilliance in his clear eyes flashed, revealing a bit of anticipation faintly.

She wished she could let Li Bai and Zhang Xuan "make trouble" on the spot, so she could watch the excitement.

It's not that she has bad intentions, but it's just her nature, she likes to "join in the fun".In her opinion, the battle between Li Bai and Zhang Xuan, two contemporary talents, must be a very exciting episode.

Yang Yuhuan and Third Sister Yang looked at each other and exchanged a speechless look.

In the eyes of the two, although Li Bai is a great talent, Zhang Xuan's talent is not much different.On this occasion, Zhang Xuan shouldn't shy away from Li Bai's "invitation to fight" again and again-so what if he competes with him?If he can suppress the limelight of Li Bai, the poet fairy, wouldn't Zhang Xuan's personal reputation be raised to a higher level?

It's a pity that they didn't understand Zhang Xuan's thoughts.

Among the people present, probably only Cui Ying understood that the reason why Zhang Xuan did not respond to Li Bai's "provocation" was not because he was afraid, let alone worried that he would stumble in front of Li Bai, but because he thought it was unnecessary.

In fact, with Zhang Xuan's current status, even if his poems are slightly less talented than Li Bai, everyone present will give them high praise and cheers.Because of the power in Zhang Xuan's hands.

This is like the emperor and his courtiers fighting poems. Whether the emperor's poems are good or not is not the key point. The key point is, who dares to criticize the emperor's poems as bad?

That being the case, why should he bother with Li Bai about the pros and cons of his poems?
Obviously doesn't make any sense.

But Li Bai is obviously a little ignorant of fun and current affairs.Being so aggressive, no matter how tall and self-cultivated Zhang Xuan was, he felt a little angry, thinking that this person is talented, but in fact he seemed a bit pretentious.

Li Chiying was startled, for fear that Li Bai's contempt and arrogance would completely anger Zhang Xuan.

Although Li Chiying felt that Zhang Xuan was also a celebrity and would not be "true" with Li Bai because of a little verbal details, Zhang Xuan is now in a high position, standing at the top of the power, and has his own majesty that cannot be provoked and cannot be provoked.

Li Chiying quickly glanced at Zhang Xuan, and was secretly relieved to see that Zhang Xuan's expression did not change, and he did not "become angry from embarrassment".

……

……

Zhang Xuan smiled indifferently, "If you don't write poems or compete with Mr. Taibai, is it because you don't have enough grace and style? Zhang Xuan seems to have lost the demeanor of a poet in the world."

"Mr. Taibai's poetic talent is peerless, and he is famous all over the world. He is known as the immortal in poetry, and is recognized by the world. Compared with Mr. Taibai, Zhang Xuan's little talent is not worth mentioning. Therefore, at the Shangyuan Poetry Conference today, Zhang Xuan really does not want to be generous with his class."

"However, the so-called literature has no first and military has no second. This matter of literary talent has always been that there are mountains outside the mountains, and people outside the people. It's pure ignorance."

"Mr. Taibai, do you think so?" Zhang Xuanyang pointed at Li Bai with a smile on his lips.

Li Bai smiled proudly, "Li Bai dare not claim to be number one in the world, but he is confident that he has never fallen behind in this poem——Bai would like to compete with the general face to face, and help the empress, your highness and all the adults. !"

One is that Li Bai is really proud and confident, and the other is that he deliberately provokes the general.He managed to catch such an opportunity, and he definitely didn't want to let go of Zhang Xuan's "touchstone" easily, and made up his mind to fight Zhang Xuan and use Zhang Xuan to win the position.

Zhang Xuan's anger gradually rose, but his face was calm and calm.

As soon as Li Bai said this, many people started booing and applauding, and Wan Chun even sat there with a smile and clapped his hands, saying, "Yes, General Zhang, there is no evidence for empty words, and there are poems to prove it. Comparing with each other is the real thing.”

Yang Yuhuan also sighed secretly, and said softly, "Zizhan, since Li Taibai has repeatedly invited you to fight, I don't think you need to be humble."

Zhang Xuan raised his eyebrows.

He waved his hand, took a few steps forward, pointed at the crowd downloading songs, dancing and laughing on the tower, his voice suddenly became low and deep, "Madam, Your Highness, my lords, in Zhang Xuan's view, poetry is just a kind of The tool of entertainment is just to nourish the body and mind; and those who have learned all over the body and truly have a great realm are not just dancing and writing, reciting poems and composing music for self-joy or joy for all, but should be transformed into the reality of serving the country and benefiting the world action."

"...Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself. If you live in a high temple, you will worry about your people; Joy and joy. Zhang Xuan believes that this is the great moral integrity and generosity that the sons of heaven and scholars uphold and uphold."

"What Zhang Xuan wished, the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, the government is well-organized and the people are harmonious, and the people are prosperous... There are tens of thousands of mansions, and it can shelter the world's poor and happy people-this is the goal and realm that Zhang Xuan will strive to pursue in his lifetime."

"As for the matter of poetry and prose, why care about the short and long of the moment?! What's the difference between high and low, strong and weak? It's useless and meaningless!" Zhang Xuan waved his hand suddenly, and then looked back. Everyone, with clear eyes and passionate voices.

After hearing Zhang Xuan's words, Yang Yuhuan and Yang Sanjie's eyes sparkled with brilliance and tenderness.And Wan Chun, with his head tilted and blushing, muttered, as if he was fascinated by the aftertaste.

Li Heng's eyes lit up, and he nodded secretly.

"Worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later... There are tens of thousands of mansions in peace, and it can shelter the world's poor people with joy." Wang Wei sighed, stood up and bowed to Zhang Xuan, "The general is in such a state. , such a strong character, such a magnanimity, Wang Wei is ashamed."

Xiao Fu and the younger generation of dignitaries were waiting to see Zhang Xuan's joke, when they suddenly heard Zhang Xuan's calm and generous "state theory", they couldn't help but blushed and stayed there .

Although Xiao Fu was jealous of Zhang Xuan, he was not ignorant.He had to admit in his heart that Zhang Xuan's vision and realm alone were beyond his comparability.

Cui Ying's heart was agitated, and she looked up at her husband happily, with a radiant light on her pretty face.

There is no need to compare any more poems and essays. The realm of Zhang Xuan and Li Bai is not at the same level. There is really no need to compare.Even if Zhang Xuan's poetry is not as good as Li Bai's, it can't affect Zhang Xuan's becoming a generation of top ministers in the Tang court.

Zhang Xuan had the world in mind, and his ambition was to help the country and the people. He was outstanding in both literature and martial arts, but Li Bai was just a literati, and his poetic talent was still inferior.

This is the true feeling of most people present.

Originally, I was full of anticipation for the poetry competition between the two, but after hearing Zhang Xuan's sentimental post, this anticipation faded away.

Chen Xilie and other senior ministers secretly sighed: No wonder Zhang Xuan is so powerful at such an age, how can such a heart be matched by ordinary people?

Li Chiying sighed secretly, and turned to look at Li Bai.

Li Bai's face was slightly red, and he stood there in a daze, his eyes flickering.

Li Bai was not an ignorant person, so Zhang Xuan's words naturally moved him deeply.As a result, his bad impression of Zhang Xuan was immediately reversed.

He originally thought that Zhang Xuan was just good at speculation and showing off power, and he belonged to the same type of people as Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, etc., but Zhang Xuan actually had a sincere heart to help the world.

Based on this knowledge, this person should not be a treacherous person.Li Bai looked deeply at Zhang Xuan, and nodded secretly in his heart.

It's just that Li Bai thinks highly of himself because of his arrogance. It's probably impossible for him to extinguish the idea of ​​a duel with Zhang Xuan because of this.On the contrary, this aroused his competitiveness even more.

Li Bai strode over, bowed to Zhang Xuan, and said in a loud voice, "Li Bai is not as good as the general in governing the country, but the general is not as good as me when this poem is handed down!"

After speaking, Li Bai looked at Zhang Xuan flatly and smiled proudly.

Zhang Xuan smiled speechlessly, but also helplessly.

This Li Bai is too lofty, too arrogant, too arrogant.

Although Zhang Xuan had to admit that when it comes to reciting poems and fighting against each other, there are not too many people in the Tang Dynasty who are stronger than Li Bai.Even if you look at history, in this field, Li Bai can be regarded as a top-notch figure.

It's just that this kind of talent and arrogance are still out of touch and out of touch with this era and society.

Zhang Xuan looked back at Li Bai and shook his head slightly.

Li Bai's move must have the intention of "self-recommendation" in front of Li Heng, but this kind of personality is fine for writing, but it is very unpleasant for people and officials.How could Li Heng like such wild and unrestrained behavior?
Zhang Xuan shook his head, looked deeply at Li Bai, and smiled softly, "Mr. Taibai's self-confidence and arrogance really made Zhang Xuan speechless."

"Talented people in this world are like crucian carp crossing the river. There are only some people who are willing to show their talents and are as prominent as Mr. Taibai, while more people are quiet and indifferent and unmoved by worldly fame and fortune...Mr. Taibai must not underestimate the world. people."

Zhang Xuan's laughter gradually became colder.

"However, Li Bai knows that the general is not a hermit——Shangyuan Poetry Conference, why did the general be so humble?" Li Bai confronted each other. Judging from this posture, if Zhang Xuan did not write poems tonight, he would not give up.

Li Bai stared at Zhang Xuan while talking.Of course he is proud, but he is not so proud.For this reason, the reason why he still held on to Zhang Xuan was mainly because subconsciously he wanted to rely on fighting poems to overwhelm Zhang Xuan and vent his anger for Li Chiying.
