Chapter 271 A confidant in the world, a madman in the world

A layer of mist shrouded the wide Puyang River. As the sun gradually rose higher into the sky, the mist became thinner and thinner.

On the broad river, ships were passing by in a steady stream, the breeze was blowing, and the willows on the shore were swaying gently.

Everything is in order.

A huge sound of breaking waves suddenly came from the distant river, and immediately, a huge two-masted warship appeared on the river.

Seeing that it was a naval warship, many surrounding ships immediately took cover on both sides.

The speed of the warship was not very fast, and the river was wide, so it did not collide with other ships along the way.

The warships quickly passed by, and before the other ships could breathe a sigh of relief, more speedboats appeared on the river, suddenly occupying the entire center of the river.

The clipper quickly passed by, and then there was a louder sound of breaking waves, and another huge two-masted merchant ship appeared on the river.

The sound was still not extinguished, and in front of everyone's sight, three large official ships came from the northeast.

However, compared to the two-masted ship occupying the center of the river in front, the three official ships are not large in size, but they make other ships afraid to approach them at will.

Li Xuan stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the densely packed large and small boats on the surrounding river banks. He said with some emotion: "Although this big river is not as wide as the Wujiang River, the boats on the river are not as wide as the Wujiang boats."

It’s big, but there are so many boats, but it’s not too much to give in to!”

"Although the Wujiang River is vast, there are many mountains on both sides of the river. Fuchun, Tonglu and Jiande have a single product, which has always been suitable for large ships. For small boats, it takes Zhuji, Dongyang, Yiwu and then to Wuzhou, which is rich in products and can be transported by water.

It is convenient, so there are mostly small boats, and commerce is developed."

Du Liu, who was wearing a blue rippled robe and dressed like a man, but still couldn't hide his beauty, stood on one side, looking at the scene on both sides of the strait, and explained calmly.

She was born in Wuzhou, but spent most of her time in Zhuji with her father.

She has always been a little confused as to why her father did not return to Chang'an, stay in Wuzhou, Hangzhou and Yuezhou after resigning, but just stayed in the small city of Zhuji.

His father just smiled and didn't answer, which was fine when he was a child. However, as he grew up, Du Liu could gradually see the loneliness in his father's eyes.

So this time after Li Xuan arrived in Hangzhou, she would take the opportunity to check to see if Li Xuan, the new Wuzhou captain, was worthy of his father's service.

"Willow catkins are floating by the blue waves, and horse hooves are ringing in the ancient alleys made of blue bricks."

Li Xuan pointed to the figure standing on the shore holding a single horse on the pier in the distance, and asked: "Is that your father?"

Du Liu looked in the direction Li Xuan was pointing and raised her eyebrows slightly, but it was still several miles away and she couldn't see clearly for a while.

I don’t know how Li Xuan saw it clearly. Du Liu looked back at Li Xuan, and then said with some uncertainty: "Probably, after all, there are not many ships on the entire river that can carry horses, and even more so now.

I’m the only one waiting for a group of people.”

For horses to get on board, not only does it need to have enough space for movement, but it also needs a stable speed to prevent the horses from panicking, which is not something ordinary ships can have.

Now that they are the only one on this river, it is most likely Du Liu's father.

"Your Majesty has been in Zhuji for many years. It was really hard work for me to see Wuzhou from above and Hangyue from below." Li Xuan couldn't help but admire him.

Du Bixing served as the Sima of Wuzhou in his early years. It is now unknown what his political achievements were, but it is not easy to be the Sima of a state.

After he left Wuzhou, he did not return to Chang'an, perhaps because the south was conducive to recuperation, but he must have stayed in Zhuji to spy on the Tianyin Sect.

Wuzhou is close to Muzhou, and is the state where Tianyin Sect has the most extensive development in the entire Wuyue land, except Muzhou.

Next is Shezhou.

Over the years, although the government has strictly banned it and cracked down on it from time to time, it has always been banned, and there is even a tendency that the more banned it becomes, the more it will spread.

The most fundamental reason for this is the development of Wuzhou over the years, which is more due to the strict laws and regulations implemented by the imperial court in Muzhou.

As a result, over the years, people from Muzhou have continuously flowed out of Muzhou to Wuzhou, Hangzhou, and even Shezhou to seek livelihood.

This is why Wuzhou is now prosperous.

Most of the people in Wuzhou are descendants of the families of Chen Shuozhen's soldiers, and there are unknown number of people who believe in the goddess Tianyin hidden among them.

As the faith spread, countless people in Wuzhou became Tianyin believers.

Their base in Wuzhou is so extensive that Li Xuan can't even imagine it. This is the biggest problem in his industry.

Du Bixing has been in Zhuji for many years, and Lai Jingye's support is one of the reasons why he can persevere. So Lai Jingye recommended Li Xuan, and he came.

…

The official ship slowly docked. A tall middle-aged man wearing a gray gown, with a clear face, a short beard, an elegant temperament, a humble demeanor, but bright eyes, led the horses onto the official ship, and the official ship immediately left the shore.

.

"Boy Li Xuan, I have met you sir!" Li Xuan sincerely handed over his hand to Du Bixing who handed the horse rope to Qian Niuwei.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome!" Du Bixing replied with a calm face and a calm demeanor.

It's just that although his expression is gentle, there is a trace of bloodshot eyes in his eyes, and clear fatigue can be seen on his face.

Although my body was clean and tidy, the smell of travel and dust hit my face.

Li Xuan was a little confused, where did Du Bixing just come back from?

"Sir, please come in." Li Xuan quickly moved out of the way and introduced Du Bixing into the cabin.

Wang Bo and Yu Ze, who were studying the case in the cabin, stood up immediately. Without Li Xuan's introduction, they held hands and said, "I have met Mr. Du."

"I've met you two." Du Bixing returned the greeting to Wang Bo and Yu Ze very politely, neither humble nor overbearing.

Li Xuan stood aside and quickly introduced: "Sir, this is Wangfu Yu Xiuzan, and this is Mr. Wang Zi'an. He is a close friend of Du Shenyan, the younger brother of your clan. A few months ago, your younger brother went to work in Shuzhong. Zi'an

My husband also wrote poems as gifts."

"The city is auxiliary to the Three Qin Dynasties, and the wind and smoke look out to Wujin. I want to say goodbye to you, we are both official travelers.

There are close friends in the sea, and they are like neighbors to the end of the world. If we go astray in doing nothing, our children will share the same fate."

Du Bixing sighed with emotion, looked at Wang Bo with a moved expression, and said with a smile: "Just this poem will knock out three points of the arrogance in the fifth brother's body, and it will be completely revealed."

Wang Bo said with a sincere expression: "Sir, you are overly complimentary. Bo and Brother Bijian have known each other for many years. We respect each other and regard each other as close friends. We parted with each other with deep emotion."

"Brother Zian is a sincere person. 'A bosom friend is as close as a friend in the world.'" Du Bixing turned to look at Li Xuan, nodded, and said with admiration: "I heard the prince's words, 'No one in the world knows you,' and I knew it."

Your Majesty and Mr. Zian are in harmony, and now that I have come east, my dear brother Zian will be able to make great achievements and make great achievements."

"If there are not many people in the world who really admire me in terms of poetry and prose, Zian is one of them, and my brother, Mr. Bijian." Li Xuan brought up the sensitive topic with an admiring look on her face.

He said: "'My articles should be worthy of Qu Song's appointment as Yamen, and my writing should be worthy of Wang Xizhi's north face'. Such bold and unrestrained sentiments are rare in the world."

"Yamen Qusong is north of Xizhi. It would be great if the prince doesn't scold him for being arrogant." Du Bixing couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.

Qu Song, Qu Yuan and Song Yu; my articles made Qu Song an official, and my articles made Qu Yuan and Song Yu my subordinates.

To the north is the place where disciples salute; my pen is to the north of Wang Xizhi, and my calligraphy has made Wang Xizhi his student.

"Brother Bijian is also a man of true talent and learning." Wang Bo shook his head and said, "When we were in Chang'an, Bo met Luo Sanlang, Zheng Qilang, and Song Dalang, and they all admired him."

Luo Sanlang was King Luo Bin, who was born in Wuzhou.

Zheng Qilang is Zheng Yi, the leader of the imperial examination in the second year of the Yuan Dynasty and the number one scholar in the new subject.

Song Dalang was born in Song Zhiwen. In the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, he was a Jinshi in the imperial examination and a new Jinshi.

Li Xuan listened to the two chatting, and thought in his mind, Zheng Yi might as well be. He was born in the Zheng family in Xingyang, and Song Zhiwen was once considered by Liu Rengui, but finally gave up as a candidate for his son-in-law because of his frivolous poetry.

As for Du Shenyan, he was the most madman in the Tang Dynasty.

Then came He Zhizhang, a fanatic from the Siming Dynasty, and Li Bai, a poet immortal. Both of them recognized this point.

"Yamen Qu Song, north of Xi" is just one of them.

When Chang'an saw him off, in front of Wang Bo, King Luo Bin, Zheng Yi, Song Zhiwen and others, he directly said, "I've been with Chang'an for one day, and I've been waiting for you all."

The arrogance is evident.

After hearing this, Li Xuan could only smile.

After all, decades later, Du Shenyi's grandson Du Fu said personally: "My ancestor's poetry is the most ancient."

"I heard that Mr. Bijian, Li Qiao, Cui Rong, and Su Weiwei all call themselves the Four Friends of the Article. This means they want to catch up with Mr. Zian, Luo Sanlang and others!" Li Xuan smiled and turned to look at Wang Bo.

The Four Heroes of the Early Tang Dynasty and the Four Friends of Wenwen are compared. It is difficult to say who is superior and who is inferior.

"You have to ask Yang Lingming about this matter. He is currently the Hongwen Hall's candidate." Wang Bo couldn't help but laugh.

Yang Lingming is Yang Jiong, and Yang Jiong will leave next year and go to the training department.

"It's a pity that Lu Shengzhi is serving as the Xindu County Lieutenant. Otherwise, when you meet, it will be a prosperous literary world." Li Xuan's faint smile contained a hint of regret.

The four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, Wang Bo, Luo Binwang, Yang Jiong, and Lu Zhaolin, seemed to never appear in one place at the same time.

"I met Brother Bixing today. I will write to Du Wulang tomorrow. I believe he will be extremely happy when he learns about it." Wang Bo showed a happy smile on his face.

It is indeed a joyful thing to be able to meet a good friend and brother and be able to work with him for a while.

"Yes, yes." Du Bixing nodded in agreement, with a trace of undetectable gloom in his eyes.

Li Xuan glanced at the top of Du Bixing's head, the smile on his face faded, and then changed the subject and said: "I will discuss this matter after the lunch banquet. What needs to be clarified now is the cause of death of this Dongyang Sihu who joined the army."

"There are probably two people responsible for the murder. One is his boss, Dongyang Chief Registrar Li Dingyi, and the other is Huang Ziming, a member of the judicial army who is currently taking over the responsibilities of Si Hu; it is also possible that the two of them joined forces."

The New Tang Book records that Song Zhiwen killed his nephew Liu Xiyi.

Song Zhiwen, who was "even more timid when he was close to his hometown, and didn't dare to ask anyone who came to visit", saw his nephew Liu Xiyi writing a sentence: "The flowers are the same every year, but the people are different every year." He couldn't ask for it, so he killed him.

There are some buffers, if you calm down a little bit, it will be normal in the next chapter.
