Chapter 091 The only one-eyed dragon, my first staff?
After hearing Zhang Guiba's question in surprise, Li Tianqu raised his eyebrows and suddenly remembered someone.
Pi Hanlin? Could it be that he was a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty that night, and he also served in the Huang Chao's pseudo-Qi regime, and was named a Hanlin bachelor?
But when he saw the man sank on the ground with a blank expression, he raised his head in a daze when he heard Zhang Guiba calling. It seemed that he did not pay much attention to these generals who had rebelled and rebelled. The man didn't seem to know Zhang Guiba. He just saw that he was among the soldiers wearing Tang army-style armor, and sighed: "You call me Pi Hanlin... I guess he was also the one who once rebelled by Huang Chao. Now he has surrendered to Tang Ting, which is fine..."
The man said, then looked at Li Tianqu again. From his expression, he seemed to be bored: "Is this group of Tang army chiefs? I am Pi Rixiu, and I have indeed surrendered to Huang Chao to cause trouble. Today, I am taken by my subordinates and handed me over to the court for punishment. If I am punished by the imperial court, I have nothing to say."
Li Tianqu determined Pi Rixiu's identity, whose whereabouts were unknown in the official history, and thought that later it was circulated that his ending was a saying that he was killed shortly after he surrendered to the rebel army and ridiculed Huang Chao. However, according to other historical records, Pi Rixiu was displaced after the rebel army was destroyed and "dead to Zhejiang Central". He considered the time trajectory before and after Huang Chao became emperor, and he gave Pi Rixiu a Hanlin Bachelor, which seemed to be taken seriously.
In this way, the statement that Pi Rixiu was killed for making a prophecy and ridicule of Huang Chao should be a false rumors.
Originally, Huang Chao, a hard-core rebel hero, deliberately wanted to win over the literati group after the uprising. Wherever the rebels passed, he claimed that as a Confucian scholar, he would not ask for advice. When the tribe burned, killed and looted, Huang Chao could also instruct him not to invade scholars (of course, when he was looking for hermits such as Zhou Pu and won over them, if the other party still regarded him as a rebel and refused to follow him, he would not miss him). Pi Rixiu, a group that had a high reputation among literati but was unsuccessful in the officialdom, would of course be the target that Huang Chao was eager to win over.
However, seeing Pi Rixiu's depressed and depressed appearance, it seemed like he was boring, Li Tianqu said: "It turns out that Mr. Jingling Zuiyin, who is also called the world's common people. I have also been famous for a long time. After hearing what Mr. said, I have no intention of submitting to Huang Chao to rebellion. I commanded the army and horses to search and suppress the remnants of the anti-army army, and would also recruit brave and powerful men who are willing to abandon the darkness and lightness. The master I admired would not hand him over to the court for punishment."
"I didn't expect that the military man knew my name even...."
Pi Rixiu was slightly surprised, and raised his head to look at Li Tianqu again, but soon he smiled bitterly: "What a talented person? As the deputy envoy of Piling, I received the salary of the court. When Huang Chao led his army to attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I did not have the integrity of the ministers and joined the rebels... What's more, I have been given the position of a pseudo-Qi official. Now that I am in such a situation, I am the blame for my own fault. You don't have to show kindness to me."
He had already stated that he intended to save his life, but Pi Rixiu still looked like he was dying. Li Tianqu couldn't help frowning when he saw it. However, when he thought about it, he could probably understand Pi Rixiu's pain...
Although Pi Rixiu is very talented and was called "Pi Lu" in the late Tang Dynasty and Lu Guimeng, who was called Jianghu Sanren, was called "Pi Lu" by the world, but he was relatively sensitive and strong in character, and was extremely repulsive to flattering the powerful and nobles in the court.
Just as he was first received by Zheng Yu, the Minister of Rites, and Zheng Yu looked at Pi Rixiu's appearance and commented, "I am very talented and knowledgeable, but how can I see you? (Although you are outstanding in talent, why do you have one eye)?" Pi Rixiu immediately retorted and said with disgust: "The Minister cannot lose his eyes because of my so-called one eye."...
In fact, Zheng Yu, who was ridiculed by Pi Rixiu, was also a good minister who knew people well and was selfish in order to work hard on national affairs. Moreover, from the poems they wrote, the political ideas of the two should be very consistent. However, Pi Rixiu, who had not yet passed the Jinshi period and had no fame, did not care about Zheng Yu, a commander in the crisis during the national crisis, was unable to come to Taiwan. This shows that when he was an official of the Tang court, he also had the attitude of quarreling against the sky and the earth.
Moreover, Pi Rixiu, who has made outstanding achievements in poetry, verses and other aspects, criticized the current problems and sympathized with the sufferings of the people. Due to his temperament, no matter how knowledgeable his talent is, he may inevitably be suppressed by the powerful. Therefore, Pi Rixiu has been in office for more than ten years and has been floating from the seventh rank to the eighth rank. He has always been at the bottom of the subordinates, and it is difficult to do anything in the officialdom.
Since Pi Rixiu was corrupt and disheartened by the current affairs of the Tang court, he was never allowed to use it. Huang Chao rebelled and caused trouble, and whether it was good or bad for the people to overthrow the Tang Dynasty regime was good or bad. This kind of thing could not be predicted in advance at the beginning, and of course it was difficult to predict clearly. Therefore, Pi Rixiu willingly surrendered to Huang Chao, and it was naturally reasonable to accept the enthronement of the pseudo-Qi Dynasty.
But since Pi Rixiu had also come from Huang Chao to this point, the anti-army forces that were forced to withdraw from Chang'an became increasingly cruel. Wherever they passed, the people were completely gone, and the land was barren. And the atrocities of the Chong Mo Village were set up, which harmed the people and predated the people, Pi Rixiu could never know nothing about it.
The poems that have been devoted to his own efforts will not be faked. Pi Rixiu accused the Tang court regime of becoming increasingly corrupt, oppressing the people, and pitying the people for suffering exploitation and oppression. Therefore, he changed from a Tang court official who was worried about the country and the people to a pseudo-official minister who was willing to assist Huang Chao in the anti-army. However, as the situation became more and more urgent, what would he feel when Pi Rixiu witnessed the bloody atrocities committed by Huang Chao’s anti-army and harming the people with his own eyes?
I guess Pi Rixiu's mentality has completely collapsed now. Since he was completely lost, he was chased by several vassal troops and was killed and left alone here. He seemed to be indifferent to life and death. Or he would just live like a walking corpse in the future, looking for a place to live in seclusion and never ask about the world again. Since he was captured by the official army, he would die. He has gone through this life and has nothing worth lingering in nostalgia...
After roughly figuring out Pi Rixiu's current state of mind, Li Tianqu sorted out the topic, and then sighed: "So that's it. I have read the poems of Mr. I am not only full of knowledge and knowledge, but also shows that Mr. I am full of concern for the people and compassionate with suffering. However, Huang Chao's party jackal was abused. Mr. later realized that he became more cruel and unkind, harming the people and poisoning the people...
Mr. originally said that he was worried about the country and the people, and was cold-hearted against the power and traitors who were chaotic in the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty of the thief... Mr. later realized it and felt ashamed, so since he was captured this time, he was willing to kill him. I guess he was planning to apologize for his death, right?"
A light and fluttering speech was like a sharp knife, hitting the weakest and most sensitive position in Pi Rixiu's heart. His originally decadent and depressed face suddenly showed a hint of anger. However, when Pi Rixiu raised his head and looked at Li Tianqu again, he just opened his mouth and wanted to speak but stopped. His chest fell and became more and more intense, and he could not refute it.
After all, the Tang army general in front of him did hit the reason why he was confused and ashamed.
Originally, Pi Rixiu, who had dared to confront the powerful officials of the court in person, and had no scruples and criticized the corrupt current affairs without any concern. Of course, Pi Rixiu, who was outstanding in poetry and calligraphy and was very good at verbal tactics, even though he was completely disappointed at this time, he did not expect that he would be touched by a mere military soldier, and instead spoke silently. Seeing that Pi Rixiu was so excited by him, Li Tianqu finally showed a little vitality on his face, so he turned his head and said:
