Poetry hunting every day
Pay attention to the reading dogs
The Tang Dynasty poet Du Mujinshi and later began working as an aide under Shen Chuanshi in Xuanzhou. Soon after, Shen Chuanshi returned to Beijing to take up his post, but Du Mu did not accompany him, probably because he was nostalgic for Jiangnan, he came to Yangzhou to serve as a subordinate of the Huainan Jiedu envoy Niu monks and children, responsible for the official correspondence of the Jiedu envoy' office.
Yangzhou was a first-class place in the whole world at that time, how good was it?
Legend has it that an old immortal asked four young people about their ideals in life, the first said he wanted to be rich in the world, the second said he wanted to be a feathered immortal, and the third said he wanted to be a Yangzhou assassin, which shows that the attraction of being a local administrator in Yangzhou can be compared with becoming the richest man and even becoming a god. By the way, the ideal of the fourth place is: 100,000 yuan wrapped around the waist and riding a crane down to Yangzhou.
Du Muzhi's talent as a staff member is really too much to use, and natural energy is excessive and idle. Yangzhou is a place where fireworks gather, there are more beautiful women than Huzhou, this time he can be described as a rat fell into the rice tank, in the leisure time of work often lingering in the sound and color song and dance place, almost every night a person secretly ran to the Qinglou to drink and feast, and did not dare to let the leader Niu Daren know.
The cattle monks and children were good friends of Bai Juyi and Liu Yuxi, and naturally they also appreciated Du Mu's talent, so they could tolerate his bad hobby, and they were afraid that he would suffer losses when he was young and angry in the Qinglou and others, so he arranged twenty guards, and every night fell, he changed into plain clothes to perform secret missions, and secretly followed Du Mu to protect.
Du Mu, who only cared about the wine song and the beautiful women, did not notice these tails at all, but every time if someone did not speculate with himself, he had planned to punch and kick, and then inexplicably left in a low voice, thinking that it was really lucky.
A few years later, Du Mu was promoted by the imperial court to the position of inspector of imperial history, and he was to leave Yangzhou to take up his post in Luoyang. Let a person who likes to visit The Flower Street and Liu Lane become an official of the Discipline Inspection Commission, my Way of Employing People in the Tang Dynasty is really eclectic. The cattle monks and children set up a banquet for him, and the table admonished him with a heavy heart: "With the knowledge and spirit of a virtuous nephew, the future will be unlimited." However, the old man was slightly worried that the xian nephew was too indulgent in the wind and moon and did not know how to temper it, but he was afraid that it would damage your physical well-being after a long time. ”
Du Mu's face was hot when he heard this, but he thought that his secrecy work was still good, so he replied calmly: "Thank you lord for your concern!" Fortunately, the lower officials have always been clean and self-loving, and in this regard, they have not yet worried the adults. ”
The cow monk laughed and asked the book boy to hold a small book box. Du Mu, who did not know the truth, opened it and looked at it, it turned out that the work report written by the plainclothes bodyguard who quietly followed him every day was nothing more than a certain night that Lord Du was drinking in the Drunken Immortal Building and arguing with whom I had been settled, and one night at the Lichun Courtyard Feast and He Renjiao I had been leveled, and Du Da was safe and sound, and there were more than a hundred and ten. Du Mu only then realized that the cattle monks and children took such good care of themselves, so he was touched and immediately bowed down to thank them, and never forgot the kindness of the cattle monks and children for the rest of his life.
After Du Mu left Yangzhou, he still remembered his soul and dreams, so he wrote "SendIng Yangzhou Han Qiu Judge" to his former colleagues who stuck to their posts:
"
Judge Han of Yangzhou
Don Du Mu
The green mountains are hidden by the water,
In autumn, jiangnan grass has not withered.
Twenty-four Bridges Bright Moon Night,
Where does the Jade Man teach blowing pipes?
It seems that Judge Han is not only Du Mu's colleague, but also his colleague in terms of wind and snow. There have always been two theories about the "Twenty-Four Bridges": some people think that there are twenty-four bridges, such as Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Pen Talk" that "Yangzhou was the richest in the Tang Dynasty... But the reporter has twenty-four bridges", and noted that there are only six bridges for those who survive today; some people think that there is a bridge called "Twenty-four Bridges", and it is said that when the Sui Dynasty Emperor visited Yangzhou, he took twenty-four beauties to drink and blow pipes on that bridge on the night of the full moon, hence the name. So far, there are many opinions on this matter, and there is no conclusion.
