Chapter 154 I am a man and shame for the country

When Ye Chang wrote poems, he pretended to be what he saw in his dreams, which almost became well-known.

He had just said such a serious matter, and then he began to talk about his dream again, and everyone was really amused and crying.

Even Zhang Xu couldn't help but shake his head: Ye Chang is young after all, and he is too reckless.

However, the four words "What I saw in Dreams" are released, which makes the suppressed and tense atmosphere in the private room fade away.

Ye Chang smiled and said slowly, "But it was a dream soul traveling to the north, passing through the vast sea and the Gobi Desert, and crossing the Yin Mountains, when he saw a stone wall with delicate finger marks on the wall and words next to it, saying, "The fingerprints left by Zhaojun when he went out of the border, the cross."

Everyone smiled. Zhaojun went out of the frontier and had passed by Yinshan, who knew?

"There are three poems on the side of this cross. One of them is "The Handwriting of Zhaojun in Yinshan". The poem is like this: A trace of the fiber is not collected, and the green and green moss has passed through the autumn. Who is Chen Emperor's son and Fan Cai? I am a man who is ashamed of the country. When the cold rain washes, the fragrance has been gone, and the faint smoke is covered with hatred. Poor black water knows the wishes of others, and I can't bear to swallow my voice."

"The second title is "Salute to the Lord Zhaojun in Dai": The golden hairpin fell from the ground and the clouds were piled with clouds. How could I hear that I had left the Emperor Chaoyang? I sent my concubine to rest assurance of the country, so I don't know where to use a general?"

"The third title is "Hand Zhaojun's Hand Mark": Birds still chirp in their hometown, let alone sadness and sorrow. The soul buried in the green tombs will not return, and who will keep the remains of the green cliffs? The jade face has been tired of the body since ancient times, and who will plan to eat meat with the country. The road has been gone until now, and the rock flowers and wild grass have been in the spring and autumn."

When Ye Chang's first song "Who Chen's son and Fan Ce, I am a man for shame for the country" came out, everyone here couldn't help but blush. When the second song "Spread makeup to protect the country, don't know where to use generals" came out, everyone couldn't help gritting their teeth. As soon as the third song "Yuyan has been tired of being a man since ancient times, who can't help but plan for the country to eat meat?" came out, Li Junlan over there covered her face with her sleeves, and when she "sighs until now, the rock flowers and wild grasses have been in spring and autumn", she cried even more and stood up and left the seat.

In terms of poetry attainments, these three poems may not be as good as Li Qi's famous poem, but in terms of their consistent appearance, they have also become more and more successful.

Everyone knows that Ye Chang said that it was three poems commemorating Zhaojun, but in fact it was a plan to use the Han Dynasty to mock the Tang Dynasty and to expose the current marriage.

The Tang people were extremely brave in writing poetry. Later, Bai Juyi dared to write "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" directly, placing the name of Emperor Han, and actually writing about the affairs of Emperor Xuanzong. Ye Chang's three poems were thrown out in one go. Although the styles were slightly different, they were all just one thing: the corpses in the court had a simple position, and had no choice but to have no martial arts. Only by using a woman's body to keep a close friend to the border, but they were futile.

"These three poems of Eleven Lang are spread... If you mention marriage with relatives in the future, you may have to think twice." After a while, Zhang Xu smiled.

"It was not supposed to be a marriage gang, but Shiyilang did not say anything wrong in this matter." Cen Shen, who had not spoken much, spoke at this time.

"Live, stay, stay, and go down, maybe Shiyilang will throw out some great truth." Zhang Xu raised his hand and interrupted him: "Today was originally to send Qi Xiaotong back to his hometown, and even if there is a poem, it should be a farewell work."

Ye Chang then suddenly realized that it was no wonder that these poets could get together, because they were saying goodbye to Qi Wuqian.

Everyone turned the topic to farewell, and they could not sing poems, but they did not ask Ye Chang for poetry. If they asked for poetry, this guy would also say what he got in his dream, wouldn’t it make people laugh and cry?

This happened to be true. Although Ye Chang remembered many farewell poems, they may not be applicable in the occasion. Every time he copied the poem, he would call it what he saw in his dream. One reason was that if the poem he wrote was inconsistent with the scene in front of him, he would be able to do it as long as he pushed it into the dream.

It is nothing wrong to say it is a dream. As time goes by in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, another life has become a bit dazed, like a dream for Ye Chang.

After the banquet, Qi Wuqian returned home on a boat, but Li Qi, Gao Shi, Cen Shen and the other two stopped Ye Chang.

These three people are all interested in border affairs. Although they did not agree with Ye Chang's strategy of taking the initiative to attack the surrounding barbarians just now, they were still very interested in how to fight against the Tuber people.

Wang Wei originally wanted to talk to Ye Chang, but seeing these three people pulling Ye Chang, he left hand in hand with Liu Changqing and Wang Changling.

"Among the barbarians, Tubo is the most difficult to control, because the reason is not because of its elite soldiers and bravery, but because of its advantage. The Tubo king's tent was three thousand miles away from the plains in the mountains and ridges. My Tang soldiers were not familiar with the local atmosphere and were not accommodating the land. They first made eleven, but were unable to move, and then made eleven. In addition, they did not know the road, pass, and were difficult to transport supplies. They also made fifteen. Therefore, my Tang soldiers could only compete with them with three-tenths of strength. Although they advocated the severance of their own initiative, they did not mean that they would immediately fight the west." When everyone asked how to deal with Tubo, Ye Chang explained with a smile: "The struggle of the country is not a matter of one night, nor is it a merit of one battle. For Tubo, ten years of preparation, ten years of training, ten years of conquest, and thirty years of pacification."

Hearing him say this, Li Qi smiled and said, "So that's it. I was still complaining in my heart just now. Ye Shiyilang was so angry that he was very happy about his achievements, but he never thought it was a sixty-year long-term plan..."

Everyone looked a little dissatisfied, obviously thinking that Ye Chang was exaggerating the difficulty of the Western Expedition at this time. Ye Chang understood this very well that if he wanted to compete with Tubo, at least he had to have a plateau army that adapted to the environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Everyone talked about some opinions about the Xi, Khitan and other tribes, and Ye Chang all pointed it out. Even so, his vision of analyzing the border problems of the Tang Dynasty with his grand strategy in the future still made the three poets who were interested in border affairs admire him.

This talk started with the lights on the first time. The officials outside had already left. The three-way city drum in the evening had already ended. Ye Chang could not return to Nanshi. Everyone talked in bed and night, and the topic also started from the border to the distant Tianzhu, Dashi, and the farther Qin.

Ye Chang had been tired, but the three poets pestered him, which forced him to force himself to support himself. When the rooster crowed, the three of them were still not satisfied, but Ye Chang, who could no longer hold on, had already snored.

"How do you two think of this Ye Shiyi?"

Li Qi pushed Ye Chang lightly and found that he was really asleep, so he asked Gao Shi and Cen Shen.

"At that time, he named his seclusion valley Wolong Valley, so he praised himself as Zhuge Kongming. Looking at it, it was not as different as Kongming, and the difference was not far away." Cen Shen said.

"Someone also thinks this is... Gundav, what about you, what do you think?"

Gao Shi did not rush to answer. He hesitated for a while, as if he didn't know how to speak.

"Gundafu?" Seeing that he didn't say anything, Li Qi thought he was asleep, so he asked again.

Gao Shi spoke slowly at this time: "But I think... Ye Shiyi should be a person between Cao Weiwu and Kong Ming."

"What does this mean?"

Li Qi and Cen Shen both became energetic. Gao Shi had lofty eyes and had always been unique among the people. He would have made some sense of this statement.

"In the past, Xu Zi was called Cao Wei Wu, a capable minister in governing the world and a treacherous hero in the chaos." Gao Shi whispered: "Ye Shiyi is almost close to him."

"Happy, it's a prosperous era now." Li Qi and Cen Shen both felt that it was a bit too much. Li Qi joked: "Ye Shiyi is a capable minister in governing the world..."

With Ye Chang's skills now showing, whether it is improving production technology, inventing new products, or organizing engineering construction, the word "capable minister" can still be considered. However, Li Qi was shocked when he said this.

Gao Shi still didn't say a word later.

It is indeed a prosperous era now, but the undercurrent under the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty could not hide it from them. They originally thought that the only ones that might threaten the Tang Dynasty were border troubles, but the population issues raised by Ye Chang made them realize that the real fundamental danger of the Tang Dynasty still came from within.

At this time, the contradiction has not yet intensified, so it is a prosperous era. However, according to Ye Chang's calculations, the population will grow by one-half to one-double in about forty years. That is to say, by the time Ye Chang was fifty-seven or eight years old, the population of the Tang Dynasty would exceed 10 million, reaching 120 million to 160 million. At that time, was the grain, silk and hemp of the big grain, enough for the people of the Tang Dynasty?

If it is not enough, what a prosperous era is now, what a terrible chaos will be then.

At that time, Ye Chang was fifty-seven or eight years old. Although he was old, he had not yet died...

"Since we must have a relationship with Ye Shi, we should lead the right path and not let him do it in a straightforward manner." Li Qi said softly.

"What Mr. Li said is very true, this is the way to be a friend."

They discussed secretly, but did not know that Ye Chang opened his eyes in the darkness.

Ye Chang was pretending to sleep to get rid of these three curious babies, but he never wanted to hear their words. These people were all generous people and met. Because of their similar interests, they regarded Ye Chang as a friend. Ye Chang was very moved.

However... what they called the "right path" may not necessarily match what Ye Chang thinks is.

The next morning, after saying goodbye, Ye Chang continued to go to Nanshi. It was strange that after the party that day, Yao Wei ran to Nanshi every day, but not to cause trouble for Ye Chang, but to follow him. If Ye Chang had not been self-aware, he would have thought that his body was shocked and he had taken away a little brother.

Li Qi, Gao Shi and Cen Shen both lived in Luoyang for a long time, so they invited Ye Chang to travel with each other every now and then. Ye Chang was so busy that he had no such leisure time. After politely refusing, they stopped sending people.

Although it was cold this winter, it still did not snow until December 15th. The sunny weather made the renovation project in Nanshi faster than Ye Chang's estimate. In one and a half months, a large area of ​​open space had been demolished. Next, construction was about to begin. At this time, the cement workshop under Dongdu's rule also began to produce cement, and various bricks, stones and wood were continuously transported to Nanshi along the canal, and then sent to the construction site.

If so many work were carried out at the beginning, it would have been a mess. However, after Ye Chang's rectification, the victims are now familiar with their respective work and do things in an orderly manner. The entire construction site seems busy but not messy.

"Oh? Can you get out here?"

"There is no need to experience it in person for things from now on." Ye Chang said with a smile.

"Even if you don't have to experience it yourself, I'm afraid you won't be idle, Ye Shiyi." Li Qi smiled and said, "I'm here because I have invited you to have a big event."
