When Zheng Peng heard this, his heart was a little gloomy.

During the Kaiyuan period, the scale of the teaching workshop reached a staggering degree, under the instruction of Li Longji, the teaching workshop was first independent from the Taichang Temple, and then split into the inner teaching workshop, the left teaching workshop and the right teaching workshop, which can hold tens of thousands of performances, music workers, music officials and female performers do not know how many, in addition, there is a person he often personally teaches the pear garden.

It can be said that the court music institution has developed to its peak in the hands of Li Longji.

However, in the Xuanzong Dynasty, I really haven't heard of any musician who won the emperor's favor and became famous.

To illustrate a problem, Li Longji separated play from responsibility, and did not put the cart before the horse because of his own preferences, as for Yang Yuhuan, it was an outlier.

Think about it, in the Xuanzong Dynasty, there were many famous ministers, Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Jiuling, Wang Zhongsi, Guo Ziyi, etc., for Xuanzong's love of music and rhythm, and the expansion of music institutions, most of these courtiers chose to be silent, and it should be a tacit understanding between the ministers.

Li Longji did not allow musicians to disrupt the political arena and interfere in state affairs, and the civil and military officials did not express their dissatisfaction with Li Longji's support of a large number of musicians.

Zheng Peng arched his hand to Gao Lishi and said, "Thank you for your advice." ”

Gao Lishi laughed twice, and quickly changed the topic: "Judge Zheng, the paintings here are all the works of court painters, and some of them are fine works collected by the people. ”

After a pause, Colliers smiled and said, "If you can't find a suitable painting, you will also specify the subject matter, and the miscellaneous family can find someone to paint it for you." ”

Zheng Peng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "It's still Gao Gonggong's righteousness, I heard that Zhang Xuan's paintings are good, I wonder if there are any of his paintings here?" ”

"As long as it's the current court painter, there must be one here, forget it, I don't know when to pick so many of them, or the miscellaneous family will help you deal with it."

After Gao Lishi finished speaking, he called the officials on duty in the Hongwen Pavilion, and after putting forward the request, after a while, Zhang Xuan's five works were picked out.

Zheng Peng spread it out and took a look, three pictures of ladies, a galloping horse and an orchid, the painting is very delicate, the composition is very generous, it is a superior work at a glance, and it will be millions in the future.

"Grandpa Gao, can I take these five paintings?"

"Take it away, anyway, it's in the palace, just let him draw a few more pictures and make it back." Colliers said with some disapproval.

There was nothing wrong with this, Zheng Peng unceremoniously rolled up the five paintings and held them in his arms.

Seeing Zheng Peng's happy face, Gao Lishi was happy: "Your Majesty rewarded you with a beautiful woman, and I didn't see how happy you were, a few pieces of torn paper will make you happy, yes, the miscellaneous family is the master, you can pick a few more to go back." ”

There are benefits, don't take it for nothing, Zheng Peng unceremoniously picked four works of other court paintings, and after thanking him again and again, he went home satisfied.

Not long after Zheng Peng left, Gao Lishi, who returned to Xiyuan, respectfully handed a sweat towel to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, wipe your sweat first." ”

"Lux, where is Zheng Peng?"

"After picking a few calligraphy and paintings in the Hongwen Museum, I left the palace."

Hearing that he went to Hongwen Hall to pick up paintings, Li Longji smiled with satisfaction: "Oh, what painting did Zheng Peng choose?" ”

Gao Lishi covered his mouth and smiled: "Judge Zheng has a lot of success in painting, the old slave doesn't know, but the vision is good, the opening mouth is Wu Daozi's painting, the old slave said that even if it is copying, it must be from shallow to deep, and finally picked a few paintings of Xuan." ”

After thinking for a while, Gao Lishi continued to add: "Judge Zheng suffered a big loss in the bet with the lord of Lando, and the old slave dared to call the shots and let Judge Zheng take a few more. ”

Li Longji laughed: "This kind of trivial matter doesn't need to be told, he just likes it, now the situation in the Western Regions is on the verge of breaking out, and the strength of the Tuqi Shi is very important to the Tang Dynasty, so we must pay attention to protecting Lan Duo, by the way, Lan Duo still lives in Zheng Peng's house?" ”

"Yes, Wang Changming of Honglu Temple repeatedly asked the county lord to move back to the post house, but the county lord of Landuo just didn't agree, it is said that Judge Zheng ran to Wang Changming to complain, saying that the county lord's temperament is a bit wild, and sometimes hinders Judge Zheng's work, Wang Changming also specially greeted Judge Zheng, so that Judge Zheng has free time."

"I must be unconvinced, I deliberately found fault for Zheng Peng, forget it, I will accompany him, as long as I don't make a big incident."

Gao Lishi grinned and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that it would be better if these two made some big trouble." ”

Li Longji paused for a moment, and quickly burst out laughing.

Zheng Peng's life is very fulfilling, with Lan Duo following and annoying during the day, accompanied by Lin Xun'er at night, going to Sanbao to see the production of bicycles, and then looking at Guo Ketang's progress in preparing braised meat in the capital, and occasionally going to Guo Ziyi and Ku ** to drink, and the days are full and peaceful.

What surprised Zheng Peng was Lan Duo, I thought she was here to deliberately make trouble, but I didn't expect Lan Duo's temperament to be a little stubborn, but it was not difficult to get along with, especially when she went to work, Lan Duo became a studious and curious baby, and sometimes she could stay in the Three Treasures all day alone.

It can be seen that Lan Duo is very interested in craftsmanship, and the things made by the Three Treasures do not have much technical content, and they cannot meet the need for secrecy, so Zheng Peng will turn a blind eye and let her toss.

Zheng Peng is in Chang'an, eating, drinking, and sleeping well, however, the Zheng family in Yuancheng, which is thousands of miles away, is trapped in an inexplicable entanglement.

In the solemn Zheng family ancestral hall, the head of the family, Zheng Changduo, sat at the top, with a sad look in his eyes, and the pot of tea in front of him was cold, and he didn't see him move.

Sitting on the left of Zheng Changduo, it is his brother Zheng Changzhu, on the right is a clan elder named Zheng Jiashu, and then sitting below, are the four sons of Zheng Yuanjia, Zheng Yuanye, Zheng Yuanxing and Zheng Yuanwang, in the lowest position, Zheng Cheng, Zheng Wan and Zheng Li sat carefully, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Although Zheng Changduo said that his quest was not smooth, it did not affect his majesty and decisiveness, and the most said words were "The words that have been said are like spilled water, and they cannot be recovered".

The reason for Zheng Changduo's embarrassment was a letter placed on the long table.

This is a letter from the Zheng family in Xingyang, many words in the letter can be ignored, but the last sentence of the letter makes the blood of the entire Yuancheng Zheng family can boil, Zheng Changyang, the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, invites the Yuancheng Zheng family to participate in the spring festival of the Zheng clan ancestral hall in Xingyang next year.

Being able to return to the ancestral hall of the Zheng family in Xingyang to pay homage to the Zheng family is a return to the rhythm of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and with the support of the recognition of the Zheng family in Xingyang, the revitalization of the Zheng family in Yuancheng is just around the corner.

This is a great thing, and it is credible to point out that I hope Zheng Peng will go along.

The question is, Zheng Peng has been expelled from his home, how can he go with him?

If it was anything else, Zheng Changduo would never give up his position, with his temperament, he would rather die standing than live on his knees, but this involves the growth and future of the Zheng family in Yuancheng, and he is in a dilemma for a while.

"Yes, otherwise, let's go the same way, and then we will say that Zheng Peng has something to do, and he can't come, do you think this will work?" Zheng Yuanxing sighed when he saw his own Lao Tzu, such a big ancestral hall, no one spoke for a long time, and he couldn't help but break the silence for a while.

Zheng Changduo's own brother Zheng Changzhu, who said "No", shook his head when he heard the words and said: "The letter indicated that Zheng Peng wanted to go with him, there are so many people in our Zheng family in Yuancheng, and it is credible that only the name of Zheng Peng is mentioned, if there is no Zheng Peng, it is estimated that it will be difficult to even enter the gate." ”

Patriarch Zheng Jiashu nodded and agreed: "That's right, I heard that when the Lanting Meeting was held in Guixiang Guofu last year, Zheng Yongyang of the Zheng family in Xingyang was also present, and some people saw him talking with Zheng Peng very happily, maybe he proposed to invite, saying that he was inviting Yuancheng Yimai, but in fact, it was to invite Zheng Peng, to put it bluntly, we were stained with Zheng Peng's light, who made him a five-grade judge now." ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone present was a little silent.

Recently, Zheng Peng is infinitely beautiful, and it will be rumored that he has written a peerless poem, and then he has written a rare good song, and then he has competed with the lord of Tuqi Shi to win back face for the Tang Dynasty, and recently there is news that the emperor personally named him a five-grade judge.

To be honest, Zheng Changduo is not eye-catching, his official rank is not high, and he is still a useless music official, but he was suddenly promoted to a fifth-grade judge, and Zheng Changduo was also moved.

It's useless to be tempted, Zheng Peng was swept out of the house by himself, he is an elder, so he can't beg him to come back, right?

Hearing Zheng Jiashu's words, Zheng Changduo's face turned red and blue for a while, and his expression was a little embarrassed, and his intestines were blue with regret.

At that time, I never dreamed that Zheng Peng, who had given up in my heart, would have such good potential and opportunities.
