The reason why Cui Geng is quite sensitive to Du Xunyan's name is because he is the grandfather of the poet saint Du Fu.

In fact, Du Xunyan's article is also quite good. Together with Li Qiao, Su Wei, and Cui Rong, he is known as the "Four Friends of the Article".

However, it is not the same fate. Li Qiao and Su Wei became prime ministers, but Du Xunyan became smaller and smaller, and was finally demoted to "Jizhou Sihu joining the army".

The reason why he fell into such a field is mainly because Du Xianyan has a bad temper and is too arrogant.

For example, when Su Wei was a heavenly official and a waiter, Du Xianyan participated in the selection exam. After he finished answering the paper, he said to the people: "Su Wei will die!" ”

The man wondered, and asked, "Why?" Could it be that you can predict the prophet? ”

Du Xianyan smashed his mouth and said: "My article is so well written, Su Wei will definitely die of shame after reading it." ”

In fact, Du Xianyan's literary talent is similar to Su Weiwei, he just feels good about himself.

This is not the most outrageous, Du Xunyan even once said: "My Du Xunyan's articles can only be compared with Qu Yuan and Song Yu in ancient times." My calligraphy, even if it is the resurrection of the calligraphy saint Wang Xizhi, I have to be ashamed. If the court doesn't reuse me, it's a loss to the court! ”

The direct result of his arrogance is that he has enemies and no friends. Which sentence offended the villain without knowing it, and was repeatedly framed, and the righteous gentleman was unwilling to associate with this madman.

After Du Xunyan was demoted to Jizhou Sihu to join the army, his temper still did not change, and he offended Jizhou Sima Zhou Jizhong and Guo Ruona, the foreign secretary, and was framed and imprisoned by them.

At this time, Du Xianyan's thirteen-year-old son Du He appeared. Although this person is young, he is full of courage, and in a banquet, he assassinated Zhou Jizhong, and he was also killed by Zhou Jizhong's guards.

At the age of thirteen, he avenged his father, which was a beautiful story in a feudal society that attached great importance to filial piety, and this case immediately spread all over the world.

After Wu Zetian learned about it, he ordered someone to investigate the case in detail and returned Du's innocence. Not only that, but Du Xianyan was also summoned to Luoyang and the official was reinstated.

For some reason, the reality of the situation today is slightly different from what is recorded in history.

Cui Geng was puzzled: "Du Xiaoying is not dead?" ”

"Of course he didn't die, if Du Xiaoying died, would he still need the two of us to go to Luoyang?" Qian Baodao: "This case is the same as the case of Xu Yuanqing's slashing Zhao Shiwen that spread all over the world before, the facts are clear, and it is difficult to judge it." Therefore, His Majesty sent an edict to Jizhou to escort the Du father and son into Beijing. ”

Cui Geng is right to think about it.

According to the normal development of history, Du He was not pursued after his death, and Du was not guilty in the trial, and it was very easy to close the case. But alas, now Du is alive.

This is different from Xu Yuanqing's case, the premise of Xu Yuanqing's innocence in killing Zhao Shiwen was that Zhao Shiwen unjustly killed his father, and the court failed to do justice for him. But before Du He made his move, not only was Du Zhenyan still alive, but the official document of the Criminal Department did not come down. He didn't go to the capital to redress his grievances, and went straight to revenge his personal vendetta, did he not take the court seriously? Do you want to kill him as an example? Therefore, presumably Wu Zetian is also quite difficult.

"That's ......"

Cui Geng's eyes rolled and said, "I can give you an upper room." But...... I still have a reluctant request, I wonder if you two can agree? ”

"What do you want to do?"

"I have come to respect Lord Du's literary talent, and secondly, I have to respect Du Xiaoying's conduct, I wonder if I can be lucky enough to stay with a few people for one night?"

Anyway, with the current situation, it is impossible for Du Xianyan to escape. Qian Bao thought about it for a while, then nodded and said, "Cheng, then let's squeeze it tonight." ”

Cui Geng's real thoughts, of course, are not to respect the Du family and his son, but not to be in the same room with Li Bao'er.

After settling Li Bao'er and Cui Xiufang, he came to the upper room where Du Xianyan and the others were.

A handsome young man, pale and sleeping on the bed, it seems that this is Du He.

Du Xianyan was in a good mood, and said, "I don't know what this little brother is called?" ”

Cui Gengdao: "No, the surname is Cui Mingying. ”

"It turned out to be Brother Cui. Thank you for giving up an upper room, or we'll be sleeping on the streets. I'd say it, but I can't stand it. ”

"Du Xiaoying's body, how is it now?"

"Brother Lao Cui is worried, the dog has more than 40 knives in his body, and he can't go to the ground yet. But his fate was saved. Presumably, if you raise it for another year and a half, you will be able to recover. ”

"That's good." Cui Geng glanced around and said, "The upper room of this Yuelai Inn is very small, and speaking of which, the requirements below are really a bit excessive." Why don't you let the store put a good banquet on the table and apologize to a few people? ”

"No, no, it's just that if you don't come, little brother, the four of us are very cramped to live in this upper room. One more of you is not too much, less of you is not too much, haha. ”

Although Du Xianyan said politely, his eyes kept peeking out, and he swallowed heavily to spit.

Cui Geng secretly thought, although Old Man Du was obviously wronged, but he had to be treated as a prisoner when he lived in the inn along the way, and he must have faded out of his mouth at this moment.

Immediately, he got up, found the guy from the Yuelai Inn, and asked him to present the good wine and food in the store.

The effort is not big, the eight dishes of four cold and four hot have been arranged, the chicken, duck and fish are complete, and there is even a world-famous tribute wine "Mulan Chun". It's not exquisite, but it's hearty enough.

The two solutions are not rich, and seeing Cui Geng so generous at this moment, his good impression of him suddenly increased.

The four of them sat around and drank heartily, and the atmosphere soon became enthusiastic.

Du Xianyan gradually recovered his arrogant nature, and devalued other talents in the world to worthlessness, what Song Zhiwen, Li Qiao, Su Wei, Cui Rong, He Zhizhang, they are simply not worthy of lifting their shoes.

Qian Bao raised the bar and said: "Master Du, the villain understands that you are a character, but ...... What you just said, isn't it a little too big? Well, you are the most powerful in the world. Let's not talk about others, then Cui Geng Cui Feijiang, are you comparable? ”

Yang Jun also said: "You don't see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky, rushing to the sea and not returning." You don't see the sad white hair of Gao Tang Mingjing, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk. Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. I am born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone...... Listen, how energetic, can you compare? ”

"Stupid! What poetry does Cui Geng know? Du Xianyan's arrogant temperament attacked, and said: "Take his song "Will Enter the Wine" as an example, there is no momentum, and there is nothing to say throughout the article. The reconciliation is not very neat, that is, it is just a reluctant look, how can it be compared with the old man? ”

When Cui Geng heard this, he was so unhappy. It's not that he looks down on himself, but that he is so crazy that he doesn't even pay attention to the eternal masterpiece of "Will Enter the Wine".

Cui Geng coughed lightly and said: "Lord Du said this very well, and I also think that Cui Geng's poems are not good, and you should always be the first poet in the world." Belch...... After seeing you, I feel something, I want to write a poem, send you old, I wonder if you can enjoy your face and listen? ”

Eating other people's mouths, Du Xianyan nodded and said, "Well, let's hear it, the old man is in a good mood today, and he can give you some advice." ”

"Listen: there are fanatics today, and there are immortals. The pen fell into a storm, and the poem became a weeping ghost and god. Since then, the fame has been great, and it has not been extended for a while. Wencai inherits the difference, and the circulation will be superb. ”

This poem was written by Du Xunyan's unborn grandson Du Fu, specially used to praise Li Bai, and the first few sentences were used on Du Xunyan's body, which did not violate the harmony.

In addition, why is Du Fu called a poet? It's mainly poems made by others, which have something to say, and the battle is neat, so that people can't find faults.

And the most important thing, Du Fu's poetic style and family history are Du Xunyan's favorite tune!

After listening to this poem, Du Xunyan was happy and sad, and he was happy that this poem was not only well written, but also held himself high. The worry is ...... Didn't you just point to the young man in front of you? There is no flaw in this poem, what should I say?

He pondered for a long time, and finally reluctantly said: "Brother Cui's poem is really good. However, alas, there is a slight fly in the ointment. ”

"What's the fly in the ointment?"

"This poem is eight sentences in total, and it seems to be the end, but it always feels like there is still a lot to be done."

Of course, there is an unfinished meaning, the last dozens of sentences of this poem, it is time to write about Li Bai's exploits, how can Cui Geng take it?

He smiled slightly and said, "What Master Du said is very true, I am only a shallow learner, and I should not continue to write here." Why don't you pick up a few words and let me open my eyes, boy? ”

"It's good!"

Although Du Xianyan agreed quickly, when he really wanted to continue the poem, he was a little dumbfounded. After all, his level is indeed a lot worse than Du Fu. Now, as soon as he remembered two sentences, he was dwarfed by the previous text, how can this be continued?

But, then again, since you agreed, you can't take it. Not only can I not pick it up, but it is also a big shame to pick it up slowly.

What can I do?

"Hahaha, the wicked have their own wicked grinding, Brother Du, I didn't expect you to have today!" Just when Du Xianyan was embarrassed for a while, the curtain was lifted and a person walked in.
