The thirteenth person recommended by Zhang Jianzhi turned out to be an old acquaintance of Tang Song. He rented a house in Beicheng after robbed Xiangzhou two years ago and moved to Luoyang. At that time, everyone except Crystal Qin lived in that courtyard. In addition to the art master, there is this middle-aged man with excellent appearance in front of him.
With elegant appearance and the same Taoist robes, the middle-aged man in front of him, who has lived together for a long time but has no contact with each other and whose name is not even known, has not changed much. Perhaps because he is far away from the capital, his expression is much more cheerful, and his eyebrows are They are not always locked in melancholy like they were two years ago. [Search for the latest updates here.]
¡°I¡¯ve known Mr. for a long time, but I haven¡¯t heard of his name yet. I¡¯ll let you know when we meet again today¡±
The middle-aged man cupped his hands and said with a slight smile, "A certain person's surname is Li, his given name is Xun, and his courtesy name is Jian. I have been hiding my traces in Dongdu. I have no choice but to look at you, my dear friend"
Li Sixun, when Tang Song heard this name, he always had a vague feeling of familiarity, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Thinking of the scene in Luoyang where he was like a frightened bird and never left the gate all year round, he then asked: "Sir, are you from a clan?"
Hearing this question, Li Sixun nodded with a complicated feeling of loneliness on his face, "The family name Shu Liang is the brother of the great ancestor and was crowned Prince Changping"
Tang Song didn't know who King Li Shuliang of Changping was. After all, time travelers were not omniscient and omnipotent, and it was impossible to know every historical figure clearly. However, the brand of Emperor Li Yuan's younger brother was really big enough. With such an origin, the Li Sixun in front of him was still He couldn't be more authentic than a descendant of the clan.
When Tang Song was thinking about it, Li Sixun asked: "I once heard that a young friend made a great success at a cultural gathering by the Ningbi Pond in the capital city, and the Queen of Heaven gave Zhan Ziyu's "Spring Outing at Red Cliff" as a gift. Is this picture still there? In your hands?"
When talking about "Spring Outing at Red Cliff" by Zhan Ziyu, Li Sixun's eyes flashed with light and his face looked nervous.
"How can such a valuable treasure be given to someone so easily? It's just for ten days. Rumors are not credible." At this point, Tang Song had a flash of inspiration as he looked at Li Sixun's extremely disappointed expression, and the memory of Li Sixun in his mind was suddenly hooked.
This man is indeed a clan member of the Li Tang royal family, and seems to have served as a general. Tang Songqihan couldn't remember his official position. The reason why he remembered "General" was actually because Li Sixun had a nickname, General Li.
It doesn¡¯t matter whether there is a general or not, there were too many generals in the Tang Dynasty. Karamatsu can remember him all because of his painting skills. Li Sixun's painting skills were recognized as "the best in landscape painting in the country", and his reputation was comparable to that of Wu Daozi, a painting saint who came later.
In addition, Li Sixun's son Li Zhaodao is also famous for his painting skills. During the Kaiyuan Dynasty, it was customary to call his father and son together, one as General Li and the other as General Li.
This Li Panxun is not only a talent, he is simply a genius. But the question is, what use does this new school have for a talented painter like him? Not to mention that his identity is so sensitive. The Li Tang clan is still the target of Wu Zetian's vigorous suppression.
Li Sixun is good at painting green landscapes, and his painting style was greatly influenced by the former Sui Dynasty Zhanzi Yu. But now that he can't see "Spring Outing at Red Cliff", you can imagine his regret. Karamatsu was also thinking to himself, and the atmosphere in the room was a little dull for a while.
After a while, Tang Song stood up and said goodbye. When Li Sixun sent him to the door, he suddenly remembered something and reached out to call for a thin young man about ten years old. It's hard to guarantee that we can't take care of him, so we simply brought him here to enroll in general subjects. He has no intention of taking the imperial examination at this time. I just hope that he can learn a skill that will be the foundation for him to settle down in the future"
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? By the descendants of the royal family being reduced to this level, Li Sixun looked miserable as he spoke.
Before this, this young man had been standing in Li Sixun's room, but he was silent, so Tang Song didn't notice him. At this time, if you look closely, you can see that although the young man named Ge Nu is young and thin, his appearance is good, especially his bright and lively eyes, which makes him look like a person with a bright mind.
Genu was obviously not a formal name. Tang Song looked him over and asked kindly: "What's your name?"
The young man bowed respectfully to Tang Song and then said in a clear voice: "My name is Li Linfu, Xiaozi Genu"
This name was much more shocking than Li Sixun, so much so that Tang Song actually lost his composure slightly, "Li Linfu!"
Ten-year-old Li Linfu bowed and answered, "Yes"
"Okay, okay, okay." After Tang Song looked at Li Linfu carefully again, he raised his head and said to Li Sixun: "Since you are here, please stay"
After saying that, Tang Song said goodbye to Li Sixun and left the room. As he walked on the road, he said: "Li Linfu of the Eastern Army, please pay more attention"
Yu Dongjun thought that Tang Song cared about the identity of Li Linfu's clan, so he was not surprised when he heard this and nodded in agreement.
?"Did you arrange what happened last night?"
Yu Dongjun looked puzzled, "What?"
"If no one arranged it, how could the Tongke scholars unite to worship at the banquet last night? Even if they had this intention, they would never be so neat. Who else could make this arrangement besides you?"
Yu Dongjun stopped and said, "Everyone had this intention to pray last night, I just mentioned it. If they weren't willing, how could I force them to bow to Qi Huancheng? But that's fine, Master." I have put countless efforts into the establishment of Tongke, and after last night¡¯s worship, I finally deserved the title. This will also be of great benefit to the future development of the new school"
"Go and do your business." Tang Song didn't say a word to Dongjun's statement and walked forward.
Tang Song stayed in the new school for the next few days. During this period, he first ordered Shangguan Li to go to Sima Mansion in Chuzhou with his letter. Zhang Jianzhi recommended thirteen people at one time. What are the origins of these people? It is important to know clearly, especially how many descendants there are in the clan.
The season was just right, Chuzhou was not far from Anyi, and Shangguan Lifa came back quickly. What made Tang Song relieved was that among the thirteen clan members, there was only one Li Sixun, who was originally from Jiangdu. According to the order, in the past few years, as Wu Zetian ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, "the clan was often framed and important officials were killed" In view of this, Li Sixun abandoned his official position and went into hiding to avoid disaster.
Zhang Shuzhi also made it clear in his reply that Li Sixun was not here to teach him, but just to provide him with a suitable place to stay.
As for the other twelve people, although they are not as noble as Li Sixun in terms of status, their political talents are far greater. These people were all local cadres in the former Gaozong Dynasty, and they all have many years of experience in politics. They can be said to be the talent reserve of Li Party. one.
While handling this matter, Tang Song sent a messenger to the capital. The messenger came with three secret letters, addressed to Lu Yuanfang, Chen Ziang and Shangguan Wan'er respectively.
Not to mention the first two letters, in addition to the letter, there are also some things he has carefully prepared for Shangguan Wan'er in the past two months. They are all kinds of fine products produced in Jiangnan or imported from overseas. I think Shangguan Wan'er Congratulations on your upcoming birthday.
The messenger was dispatched, waiting for Shangguan Li to return from Chuzhou. After Tang Song inspected the new school buildings twice a day, he personally led Peng Huabo and four others to visit the twelve people recommended by Zhang Jianzhi to seek advice on local governance. road.
I don¡¯t know what Zhang Jianzhi told them. Although the attitude of these twelve people towards Tang Song was indifferent, they were dedicated to the tasks he entrusted. They did not hide their opinions in guiding Peng Huabo and the four people. Seeing this, Tang Song felt deep in his heart. He nodded secretly.
Peng Huabo and others knew that they had a heavy burden on their shoulders, so they were extremely serious when they were taught, and the time became longer and longer. Later, Tang Song could no longer accompany him and wait, so he took the lead after Shangguan Li brought back Zhang Jianzhi's letter. Returned to Yangzhou.
In Yangzhou City, Tang Song, who had been rushing back all the way, had just stepped into the small courtyard where Crystal lived when he saw a familiar figure of a fat white man walking opposite Zheng Yue.
Seeing him, the big white fat man suddenly laughed out loud, "What do you say? It's better to come early than to come by chance. I haven't seen you for several months. I really miss my brother" As he spoke, the fat man said with weight. Feeling that the speed did not match him, he hurried over, reached out and punched Karamatsu twice on the shoulder, which was really affectionate.
Seeing the appearance of Fatty Zhuang Zheng from the Shendu Splendid Silk City, Tang Song also felt his heart heat up and punched him twice in return with a smile.
After these two punches, Fatty Zheng laughed even louder. Then he stretched out his fat hand and hooked Tang Song's shoulder, trying to pull him out Lehe.
¡° Fatty Zheng has this ability. He can get very close to anyone, and he doesn¡¯t make you feel disgusted at all. There is always a particularly relaxing feeling when you are with him, and Tang Song is no exception. "I just came back from Anyi, and I am really tired. I don't have the energy to go to Zouma Zhangtai with you. Now let's go inside to worship." Let¡¯s talk about tea after I¡¯ve had a rest¡¡±
Fatty Zheng was an easy talker. Hearing this, he immediately turned around with his arm around Tang Song's shoulders, winking and whispering as he walked: "Brother, you are so capable. The crystal girl in the inner house is so beautiful that people can't stand it at a glance. My eyes are dizzy, that's all. In such a small house, there is actually a top-notch luthier. Although my brother is not a scholar, he has seen a lot. In terms of skills, I look at the old luthier you raised. Those in the prince's palace are even better"
At this point, Fatty Zheng hooked Tang Song's shoulder and shook it violently, "Let me tell you, brother, how many treasures are you hiding in your hands?"
"What treasure do I have?"
"Talents!" At this moment, Fatty Zheng was arm-in-arm with Tang Song, walking unsteadily. Anyone who didn't know his background would not believe that he was the owner of the largest silk and satin shop today. I realized that all treasures in this world are fake. Only talents are real treasures. Without useful people, no treasure can be saved no matter how good it is. On the other hand, any good treasure can be earned. return¡¡"
Having said this, Fatty Zheng chuckled and said, "I intend to open a few more branches in Hebei Province, but I don't have enough manpower. Brother, now that the scientific examination is over, how about giving me some of the people you trained? You Don¡¯t worry, I will definitely not treat them badly"
Before he even asked him to ask for Yu Dongjun, the fat man took advantage of him. Tang Song glanced at him angrily, "I do have some people on hand, but they all have to be distributed to the states in the south of the Yangtze River to run the Hongwen Seal Society." Yes, don¡¯t forget that half of these printing companies¡¯ business is yours"
"Half!" Hearing this, Fatty Zheng sighed with a wry smile, "Brother, you are so bold in manipulating Hongwen Seal Society, but you have made it difficult for me. I won't hide it from you, and I can't hide it from you. I am going to Yangzhou this time. Came here for Hongwen Seal Society"
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the inner house. Crystal came out to see Tang Song smiling brightly, but he also smiled at Fatty Zheng.
???????????? Then, Crystal Spider held out a book of piano music as if offering a treasure, and pointed at Fatty Zheng. It was obvious that this thing was a gift from him, and it was very suitable for Crystal Spider.
Whenever Fatty Zheng gives someone a gift, it would be strange if the person giving it doesn't like it. Tang Song was no longer surprised by this. After letting him sit down, he didn't say anything and asked directly: "The two of us just tell us everything we have to say"
