As we mentioned earlier, Bai Juyi, the child of other people's families, entered the system by virtue of his strength. For this reason, he was also quite complacent: the inscription under the Tower of Mercy, the youngest of seventeen.
Because he admitted a total of 17 people in that class, of which he was the youngest.
He was 27 years old.
At that time, he did not see that Liu Yuxi, who was the same age as him, had been admitted to the system 6 years earlier and had played soy sauce in the team of the second boss ---- prince.
Yes, Liu Yuxi's early experience perfectly interprets the old sayings of "fame should be early" and "young people have a bright future":
21-year-old zhongjinshi;
At the age of 24, he was appointed as the prince's school secretary;
Ding Worry;
At the age of 29, he was promoted by Du Mu and his grandfather ------ Jiedushi;
31-year-old as imperial history;
The 33-year-old was valued by the reformists and became the number one boss---- Shunzong's right hand and right hand, in charge of the work of the Ministry of Finance.
At this time, the future is very good! But "Saion lost his horse, yan knows that it is not a blessing", no, it should be "Sai weng has a horse, and he knows that it is not a disaster" ------
The number one boss was replaced due to poor health!
The innovation movement has been dry for less than half a year, and it has stopped!
-
The new boss, Xianzong, hated the reformists, killed the two leaders, and then kicked Liu Yuxi and the other 7 eye nails together to stay in Yuanzhou, and made it clear: Even if the world is amnesty, these people are not allowed to return to the dynasty.
In the face of the strong suppression of the big boss, even if ordinary people do not agree to draw circles behind their backs, they should also keep their mouths shut on their faces.
But Liu Yuxi no!
He is a staunch innovator who kicks the iron plate and does not look back.
After staying in Yuanzhou for 9 years, Liu Yuxi was finally recalled to Beijing, but when this brother saw that most of the dprk and China were new faces, and most of the reform ideas were abolished, they were angry!
The poet Liu Yuxi wielded his sharp weapon----- satirical poem:
Purple and red dust came to the face, and no one looked at the flowers back.
The peach trees in the Xuandu Temple were all planted after Liu Lang went there.
("Yuan He Ten Years from Langzhou to Beijing Opera Gifts to See the Flowers gentleman")
This move aroused the dissatisfaction of the big boss and colleagues, "Yo, unconvinced! Then cool off! ”
Then, Liu Yuxi was packed up again and kicked farther away.
At this point, Liu Yuxi finally stopped, right? He's not yet!
He wrote poems such as "A Hundred Tongues", "The Ballad of Gathering Mosquitoes", "Flying Kites Exercise", and "Hua Tuo Theory", in fancy satirizing and flattering officials, sinister and vicious bureaucrats, and large landlord class conservatives who looked mighty but despicable in heart, and killed innocent "rulers".
As a result, he was also degraded again and again, and he was degraded for 14 years!
Liu Yuxi's people are depreciating
Liu Yuxi, who has been relegated to the outside world for 23 years and has white hair, has finally returned to Beijing!
Before his ass was seated, Old Master Liu deliberately ran to Xuandu Temple. Still that place, still that weapon, still that recipe:
Half of the 100 acres of garden is moss, and the peach blossoms are pure and cauliflower.
Where the Tao Daoist returned, Liu Lang came again.
("Revisiting the Xuandu Temple")
This riot operation, very Liu Yuxi!
The sky above Chang'an seemed to be able to hear the gray-haired Old Master Liu laughing triumphantly, leaning up to the sky and laughing triumphantly: "I'm Hu Hansan, I'm back again!" ”
~~~
But if we think that Mr. Liu has been stretched like a cockfight for 23 years, and he has a depressed breath in his heart, it is wrong!
Liu Yuxi was indeed a staunch supporter of the New Deal, shining his sword if there was a confrontation. But his attitude towards his sour life experiences is actually very open-minded. From his poems when he was degraded:
Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, and I have said that autumn is better than spring dynasty.
A crane in the clear sky lined up on the clouds, and it led the poetry to the blue sky.
(Autumn Words)
When he was relegated to a small eighteen-line county town in Sichuan, He deliberately collected local folk songs to compose his poems, including the "Bamboo Branch Words" that later became popular:
Yang Liu QingJiang level, smell the Lang River singing.
The sun rises in the east and the rains in the west, and the road is clear but sunny.
Bai Juyi, a good pen pal of the Tang Dynasty, once complained about him:
……
The poem calls the hands of the state in vain, and the fate of the people is helpless.
I also know that the name of the combination is folded, and twenty-three years are folded too much.
("Drunken Gift to Liu Twenty-Eight Ambassadors")
Liu Yuxi's gift:
“...... A thousand sails passed by the side of the sinking boat, and the sick tree was in front of Wanmu Chun..."
("Reward Lotte Yangzhou First Meeting On the Table"
There are still a thousand ships sailing next to a shipwreck, a tree withered and ten thousand trees come to life. Optimistic and open-minded.
It may really be a godsend self-helper. In the 70th year of ancient rarity, Liu Yuxi was promoted to the position of Rebbe Shangshu and ushered in the second spring of his career. Although he died a year later, it is also an affirmation of the long perseverance of this tenacious fighter.
Why can Liu Yuxi combine tenacity and open-mindedness so contradictory and perfectly?
Is it because he is indifferent to fame and fortune?
As he said in the Buried Chamber:
Si is the Burrow, but Wu Dexin... What's so ugly about that?
