Lu Gongbi chatted with Zeng Gongliang and Gao Ruonai, and looked at Xu Ping from time to time, thinking about when he would go up and talk. His father sent him here, and he had to hear Xu Ping's answer clearly, otherwise how could he go back and hand in the office? Today, the arrival of Xue Kui and Wang Shu put pressure on him. Although he didn't know what the three of them said, the two veterans and important officials were willing to come to Xu Ping's mansion, which was a signal that those who were not in the same way as Lu Yijian.

Most of the officials in the museum now dislike Lu Yijian, especially Ouyang Xiu and Cai Xiang, who were both scrupulous and mean. This attitude implicated Lu Gongbi, and only a few people were willing to stand with him.

Zhang Xian explained the meaning of the lyrics to the singers. Xin Qiji famously wrote lyrics and used allusions. This poem is quite rare, but Zhang Xian still has to explain them. These are just ordinary singers and have never read two books. How can they know what these genres mean? Only by understanding the meaning of the lyrics can they be sung.

Liu Sanbian personally tuned the pipa there, and was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. Yan Shu created this tune, and several poems were used to mourn the dead and describe the scenery, and the tune was relatively smooth. The poem Xin Qiji copied by Xu Ping obviously required that it would gradually become unrestrained from urgent to fast, from flat, and the sound from low to high in the end was very different from Yan's poem.

The same lyrics may not necessarily have the same tone, it depends on experts to harmonize. Liu Sanbian is an expert in music, but he is good at writing slow lyrics, with many gorgeous words and beautiful tunes. It is really difficult for him to suddenly adjust this generous and tragic tone.

No matter how difficult it is, it must be adjusted. Zhang Xian pulled Liu Sanbian's sleeves to remind him that this is a rare opportunity. Who is Xu Ping, the lyricist? He made great contributions early. Whether it is the appearance of the auspicious light at the time of his success or the relationship with his uncle Li Yong and his family, it means that he will never be a person in the pool in the future. For a person with this identity, how many opportunities can Liu Sanbian have to curry favor in his life? If he doesn't seize this time, he really doesn't know when he will go.

Liu Sanbian was 44 years old and was 48 years old this year. He has not had many opportunities. Now the Privy Councilor Zhang Shixun is also making a fortune in his old age, but how many people are there? Not to mention that Liu Sanbian is not as talented as Zhang Shixun. He is talented but not capable, while Zhang Shixun is mature and steadfast.

Xu Ping is a high-ranking official who has recommended places, and the lower-level officials are looking at him. As long as Xu Ping says a word, it may change the fate of a lower-level official and save many years of struggle.

Yan Shu watched Zhang Xian and Liu Sanbian busy there, and smiled at Ding Du and said, "Young man Xu Ping is not famous for his poetry and prose, so it is rare for this word to come out today. Although the last sentence is a bit pretentious, it is finally inspired. Yongzhou has made a real contribution and fought many battles head-on. But he didn't understand the rhythm, so he exhausted those two people."

Ding Du said: "It's not necessarily true that pretentious. Over the past year, Xu Ping has not been able to be smooth in the capital. Although his official position has been promoted smoothly, he has encountered many troubles. In his heart, he may not have been away from the capital and then went to a place like Yongzhou to make achievements. It is precisely because of the young man, he doesn't have to rush to hang out in the capital."

Yan Shu nodded and was silent for a moment.

When an official reaches this point, no one is a fool. Yan Shu was proud of his youth. He has seen so many ups and downs in the capital, and he doesn't understand what he doesn't understand? But he is cautious and weaker in his work. He lacks courage and has always been difficult to stand out. Otherwise, based on his qualifications, he can also think about the position of prime minister.

Since Xu Ping returned to the court, several things were done under pressure. Lu Yijian was behind Xu Shen, and many people knew that Xu Shen was kicked to Jiangnan by Xu Ping. The charcoal price storm offended Cheng Lin again. Although Cheng Lin now knows that Kaifeng Prefecture is not his immediate boss, the Hanlin Bachelor is still in the core decision-making circle. He handles the officials of the three companies and rectifies various affairs, and offends more powerful people. Thinking of these things, Yan Shu felt disheartened. If he were himself, he would not dare to touch anything, and Xu Ping actually did it all the way.

After the New Year, he was caught in something evil, but he actually believed Guo Zi's words and went to build something to lure Luo into the Bian Canal, and such a big storm occurred. Xu Ping caused more people this time, and Yan Shu knew very well. Wang Zeng strongly opposed the start of construction, and there were many old ministers with the same attitude as him, which was very stressful. On the contrary, Lu Yijian was extremely confident in his ability to control the government, and instead did not take this seriously.

The two prime ministers are considered to be the two major factions in the court now. The others are both neutral, some are both rats, and some are unique. Now Xu Ping offended one faction and is opposed by another faction. How can this official do?

From this perspective, perhaps Xu Ping is not pretentious, but he just can't stay in the capital.

The poem by Xin Qiji can be divided into two parts, the first part is the part, and the last sentence is the other part. The previous statement and generosity and tragic tragedy are all for the last sentence. Xu Ping and Xin Qiji have different experiences and face different situations. When changing that sentence, the momentum suddenly becomes much weaker and sounds a bit inconsistent. It is precisely because of this incongruence that the whole poem loses its style, which makes Yan Shu feel awkward and pays more attention to that sentence.

Sighing, Yan Shu said, "Scholars are romantic and young, and when they are young, they are always less afraid and unrestrained in doing things. If Xu Ping can really pass this level, his future will be limitless."

Ding Du nodded, looked into the distance, and suddenly burst into laughter.

It turned out that Liu Sanbian could not make the song he needed. He was anxious for a moment and actually broke the strings of the pipa. With a "clang", Liu Sanbian looked at the broken strings of the pipa, his eyes were dull and at a loss.

Yan Shu shook his head: "These ordinary singing girls on the market are just greedy for playing lightly. How can the pipa they use play such a song? Liu Sanbian is proud of his talent and is a bit difficult for him."

Ding Du smiled: "Bachelor, don't you think Liu Sanbian and Zhang Xian are too attentive? The lyrics and music of Ouyang Xiu and others just had slight flaws and were made fun of them! As a result, when it came to Xu Waijian, it was not slight flaws, but the rhythm was not consistent, and they could hardly sing. Not only did they not say a word, they were still busy there."

"It's understandable that no one has come from the bottom to work hard. These two people are very talented and divided into lyrics and songs, and their poetry will be poor. If it weren't for someone's appreciation, they would have paid attention to the ups and downs of their careers. It's rare to have such an opportunity today, of course they have to work hard."

Seeing Yan Shu speaking out of his mind, Ding Du said, "So, from the perspective of the scholar, which of these two people is more promising?"

"Although Zhang Xian is also skilled in slow lyrics, the meaning of the lyrics is fresh, and there are few slangs in the streets and alleys. The lyrics are somewhat literary and popular, but they can be cultivated. As for Liu Sanbian—" Yan Shu shook his head and did not continue to say it.

Although he didn't finish his words, he was already very clear. Yan Shu was not optimistic about Liu Sanbian. He had been rolling in brothels for decades, and the aura he was contaminated with was too heavy, so it was difficult to change. More importantly, he was a casual nature and lacked a fear. In the officialdom, he had no fear and could easily waste it if he had the opportunity.
