Transmigrate to be an Ancient Saint - C326 Du yi jian
From the conversation just now, Xiao Wen understood what he needed to do in this short period of time. Hence, his eyes suddenly brimmed with clarity.
By the side, regardless of whether they were silent or not, Yang Xiu who was reading the books that Xiao Wen had given them, or who had left his seat and was doing sports preparation, who was planning to start his day of fitness, was brimming with vitality.
Manager Wu handed over the tea. Tang Kingdom’s tea was different from other periods of history, it was not brewed with boiling water directly to make the tea, but grinded the tea into powder to make the tea.
However, in the 21st century, the spread of tea making in Japan had already reached China, so Xiao Wen was not too unfamiliar with tea making.
However, according to the Manager Wu, when the people of the Tang Kingdom drank tea, they would add spices like cinnamon, octagonal, peppers, and even some weird things like ginger, garlic, and mutton oil.
It was just that he was worried that Xiao Wen, a Foreigners, wouldn’t be able to get used to it, so he added a little more.
Hearing that, Xiao Wen was silent for a moment, then used a righteous tone to speak, exercising his own privilege as a feudal noble and beat Manager Wu. He also warned him that he would not be allowed to serve tea anymore.
To be honest, Xiao Wen might be able to accept it if he added a bit of a milk cap to the tea leaves. But adding these strange things into the mix, Xiao Wen only felt a wave of disgust.
Strangely, when Xiao Wen was beating up the supervisor, the people around him all had indifferent expressions. Only Wan-Er was a bit worried.
However, he quickly concealed his worry. Everything seemed to have calmed down, leaving behind only the miserable shrieks of the manager.
But when he saw that the meek Manager Wu did not have any signs of resistance, Xiao Wen suddenly stopped.
He somewhat hated the trace of indifference in his heart.
Once upon a time, he had been hot-blooded and impassioned, thinking of how to overthrow this evil old society. But now, he was still here, acting as if he was a feudal noble.
Even though there were many times when Xiao Wen would restrain himself. But Xiao Wen was still a human, he couldn’t stay calm for too long. And once he lost his cool, his anger would fall on the people, and they wouldn’t be able to fight back.
Shaking his head, Xiao Wen cast aside those thoughts, and secretly comforted himself: “Only children would be conflicted about right and wrong, adults only care about the pros and cons!”
The time line of the Tang Kingdom was very chaotic, thus Xiao Wen had already stopped his search of the super library and asked the people beside him instead.
Based on his understanding of the current situation of this world, even a normal person might be better than a super library. Xiao Wen directly asked about the existence of the great poets and great scholars in this country. It was much more efficient than him searching for the super library.
When Xiao Wen asked this question, Manager Wu immediately crawled up from the ground. He was like a person who was fine, as if the one who beat him up just now was the lifelong rival of the King of the Undead — Air, not Xiao Wen.
When he stood up, he was still as respectful as ever. After thinking for a moment, he said, “If sire wishes to befriend a scholar from the Luoyang, you can start with Censor Du.”
“Censor Du?” Xiao Wen was startled for a moment, and asked: “Du Fu?”
That’s not right! In the history of Du Fu’s youth, he had travelled to Wu Yue and Qi Zhao, and had even gone to Luoyang.
After the age of thirty-five, he should have failed the examination at the Chang’an; later, he should have offered gifts to the Emperor and bestowed gifts to nobles.
The officials were disappointed as they witnessed the social crisis and extravagance of the upper class society in Tang Dynasty.
Fourteen years of Heavenly Treasures (755), AnShi chaos broke out, Tongguan lost, Du Fu more and more. In the year of Qian Yuan (759), Du Fu abandoned his official and entered the city.
From the beginning to the end, he had never held the position of Imperial Physician.
As expected, when Xiao Wen mentioned Du Fu, the Manager Wu’s expression became blank. He said, “This lowly one does not know who Du Fu is. Actually, the one that I wish to introduce is the history of the palace’s steward, Du Yijian, Lord Du. ”
Hearing that, Xiao Wen immediately closed his eyes, his mind thinking about the other party’s information.
Xiangyang County, Xiangzhou. About died in the last years of Tang Gao Zong Xianhun.
He was probably the first unlucky person in the Tang Dynasty to be demoted to a prefecture and die in the prefecture due to political struggles.
Du Yi was also a talented youth. The Old Tang said that he was nine years old and could write, and that he had a “high reputation for learning.”
His brother-in-law Cen was a scholar in the Imperial Court, so he successfully entered the Scholar’s College and took up the post of the Imperial Consul in the Imperial Palace.
By the fourth year of Tang Gao Zong Xianhun, Du Yishan had already reached the position of an examinee as Minister for Foreign Affairs.
In his year as an examiner of the Imperial Examinations, there were 79 candidates.
If Du Yichang had always been so carefree in the government, then he probably wouldn’t have any fate with Kaizhou.
Coincidentally, the image of Wu Zhaoyi, who had been scolded as a fox by King Lobin, appeared next to Li Zhi. Under the influence of the imperial court’s officials, Xu Jingzong and Li Jingxuan, Wu Zhaoyi was eager to give it a try, wanting nothing more than to become a queen.
At the moment, the Prime Minister, Sun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and the Deputy Minister of the Civil Service, Pei Xingjian, were firmly opposed to this.
Du Yijian unluckily stood on the side of these people. He did not know that Empress Wu becoming the empress was originally a family matter for the emperor, only when Tang Gao Zong personally speaks of it.
Tang Gao and Li Zhi must have been infuriated. They soon came up with an excuse to “harm their friends”, and the next imperial edict downgraded Du Yichang to the state of Kaizhou, Sima.
The smooth sailing Du Yijian had never suffered such grievances before, and he never expected that this matter would anger the emperor. He was anxious, angry, and afraid, and died not long after he arrived in Kaizhou.
However, even though Du Yijian’s official luck was not that good, he should have some connections in the imperial government before he began to suffer.
Furthermore, his greatest strength lay in his influence in the cultural field.
The entire Xiangyang Du Family’s luck was not good, so it was not surprising for Du Yishan to suffer such a misfortune.
His descendants were all talking about his relationship with the two literary stars of the Tang Dynasty. One was Du Fu.
Du Fu’s grandfather was Du Chuyan, the poet of the first Tang Dynasty, and Du Chuyan was Du Yijian’s cousin.
“The other is Wang Bo.” The Old Tang said that when Wang Bo was six years old, he wrote an essay that “had no procrastination and no lassitude,” and that Du Yijian was the first person to put a high hat on a prodigy.
Du Yishan was a close friend of Wang Bo’s father, and his praise borrowed Xie An and Xie Xuan from the New World Words to compare talents to precious trees: “This Wang family’s three-pearl tree is also!” This sentence clearly left a deep impression on the youth Wang Bo, so that later, when the talented Wang Bo expressed his modesty in the “Teng Wang Pavilion Preface”, he suddenly thought of Du Yijian and specifically added the following sentence, saying that he was “not a treasure tree of the Xie Clan, but a next-door neighbor of the Meng Clan”.
“This Du Yijian is not bad.” Not only did they have some connections in the government, they also had some influence in the literary world. Although he is not the best, but from his departure, to get to know some Tang Kingdom people, is not a bad choice. ” Xiao Wen thought.
However, at this moment, he discovered something rather difficult.
As an envoy of the Great Tang Dynasty, it was a perfectly justified thing for Xiao Wen to meet the high officials of this country.
As for those treacherous officials, regardless of their status, as long as Xiao Wen activated his money ability, he could make those treacherous officials become famous people who did not care about small matters.
However, Du Yi Jian was not a distinguished official, nor was he some greedy villain. If Xiao Wen wanted to meet him, that would be a bit presumptuous.
In ancient times, if a person wanted to befriend another person, unless they met in public, they would definitely need a third party to do so.
If that wasn’t the case, people would definitely think that you’re very bold when you pay them a visit.
Therefore, Xiao Wen looked at Shangguan Waner and asked: “Wan’er, no matter what, you were once a child of a noble family. Do you know this Lord Du Yi, Jian Du? ”
Wan-Er shook her head and said, “I have never heard it before.”
Fine! The Du Family wasn’t some great noble or official family. When Wan’er’s family was rich, the other side couldn’t even stand up to them.
If Shangguan Tingzhi was here, he might have a small chance of knowing the other party. However, Wan-Er …
Wan-Er was just a little girl. It was impossible for her to know such a small figure.
Therefore, Xiao Wen turned his gaze towards Sun Shangxiang.
