Ying Ying landscape, has his meaningful figure, the temple rivers and lakes, has his proud Bing Xin, Jinse fleeting time, has his super pen, the rise and fall of Datang, has his extraordinary achievements. He is Xiao Yingshi, a "wise man" who can stand out in silence, and a "hermit" who still stands out no matter how brilliant he is. His existence is like a pure lotus growing in mountains and rivers, with a clear and thorough attitude, a haughty soul, blooming its own unique style.
He was born in the country of poetry and etiquette, official hairpin tassel clan, since childhood received a good education, talented, unforgettable, four-year-old Nengwen, can be called a genius, he is like a piece of pure gold and jade, as long as a little carving, will be able to shine. In the Tang society where everyone takes fame as the priority and official title as the pride, the existence of Xiao Yingshi is undoubtedly a unique landscape. Although he is not a sparrow, he has no lofty ambition. Being drunk today is his pursuit of life. His world is so small that it can only hold a pot of wine and a heart; his world is too big, with fields and courts, friends and books, Ulva and fish, mountains and waters, temples and pavilions.
Sometimes I wonder, will his previous life be a plain plum blooming in Lingyun? otherwise, how could he have such a free and unruly, arrogant and elegant temperament in this life? If it is not what the heart wants, everything seems to be like the wind passing without a trace of smoke and dust, can not see into his eyes. However, there is always a kind of person who does not need to enter the complicated world, and all kinds of things in the world will negotiate with him. When Xiao Yingshi stood out at the age of 18 with the first achievement of Jinshi, he was destined to have inextricable ties with the imperial court, just like the on-and-off couple, no matter how they quarreled, they could never jump out of the red line drawn by the old man. For Xiao Yingshi, dismissal and recall are as common as they are.
Xiao Yingshi was dismissed for the first time because he did not return to his life for a long time and was dismissive of the errands assigned by the imperial court. He knows exactly what he wants, what he doesn't want, and how to make his life more meaningful. Compared with the idle errands of going to the people to search for suicide notes, he would rather listen to the wind in front of his pillow, invite three or five good friends to visit historic sites and places of interest, splash ink and sing songs, and dismiss officials. To him, power and official titles are nothing but dispensable embellishments in life. He can patiently explain the articles to the famous Mohist students, and he can also scoff at the courtship and exclusion of powerful dignitaries, just because he is a unique Xiao Yingshi. He is a "Xiao Fuzi" with his own independent thinking and personality charm.
The court was reluctant to give up on him, and although he was too aloof for such an outstanding young talent, it was a pity to shelve it. Therefore, before long, the court recalled him again and gave him a position of "Jixian School", which was not high or low to highlight his literary talent, which was mainly responsible for compiling and collating some literary and historical materials.
Is it that Xiao Yingshi's otherworldly talent is too outstanding, or is the arrogant temperament of that jade bone Bingxin too charming? Not only did all the celebrities want to woo him, but even Li Linfu, the minister of power and adultery, focused his burning eyes on him. I don't know how many talented officials wanted to cling to the high branches of his prime minister, but Li Lin-fu disdained it, but with the exception of Xiao Yingshi, he was able to bend himself to treat each other, and because of this, Xiao Yingshi's otherwise peaceful life once again stirred up a storm.
I do not know how many times Li Linfu specially sent people to invite him to the door, hoping to have a feast and talk with this famous romantic talent, and completely lowered his posture. Without the arrogance of the prime minister, it was considered warm and sincere, but as a result, they were mercilessly rejected by Xiao Yingshi and shut out of the door. This is undoubtedly challenging the limits of the tolerance of a person of great power. Even a person who is tolerant and magnanimous will not be humiliated like this, let alone the narrow-minded Li Lin-fu. Isn't this tantamount to plucking the tiger? it seems that Xiao Yingshi's good life is coming to an end.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before Xiao Yingshi was relegated for offending Li Linfu. His temperament is quite similar to that of Li Bai. "how can I bow down and serve the rich and powerful? it makes my heart very unhappy!" Even if the tile house rope bed, bamboo rafters fluffy, accompanied by the breeze, sing to each other with the landscape, they do not want to go against their own will, destroy their eyebrows to the treacherous minister, and have wealth and glory, but still not worth mentioning in front of happiness and freedom, "the heart of a gentleman, but his chastity, the integrity of a gentleman." If it is said that arrogant and unruly is Xiao Yingshi's posture, free and easy and elegant is his temperament, then Zhen Jian and integrity are his character.
At that time, many people who knew how to ingratiate and sophisticated people came to persuade Xiao Yingshi to stop being so stubborn. What to do with such a high posture, but he could not eat as a meal, so it would be better to comply with Li Lin-fu's wishes and fall under his door. he was a popular man in front of the emperor, and when he was happy, he beckoned to you with a bright future. In Xiao Yingshi's ears, however, it became a great insult. After reprimanding everyone, with a stroke of his pen, he wrote an extremely pungent and sharp "cutting Cherry Fu" to stab Li Lin-fu. As a result, he was dismissed on the same day, packed up and went back to his hometown.
Fortunately, Xiao Yingshi has a good state of mind and is happy to be at ease without an official position. Feeling sorry that the mountains and rivers could not be allowed, I went to splash ink and sing songs and have fun in time, even if I was worried about it. In his essays, he once said, "Winter night, shrapnel." I have a gold stove, and I will use it to help me. On the day of summer, the hot scenery is melancholy. I have precious flowers, mourning them with chestnuts. Those who have a will will drink, and they will rejoice. " He did not have Fan Zhongyan's patriotic enthusiasm of "living high in the temple, worrying about his people, far away from rivers and lakes, worrying about his king". He was only willing to keep the golden stove in winter, precious seats in summer, fine wine at leisure, fun and fun, and sing along.
However, a few years later, Xiao Yingshi was called back by the imperial court, because the Fu of cutting Cherry was so elegant, capable and touching that it won the favor of historian Wei Shu, so he admired Xiao Yingshi for a long time and was sincerely admired. Finally, he did not hesitate to propose to the emperor that he should take his place. Li Linfu did not stop it, because he always had a strong desire to conquer Xiao Yingshi, wanted to take him as his own, and even looked forward to his return. After Xiao Yingshi took office, it is conceivable that Li Linfu tried every means to persuade and woo him, and took the initiative to be courteous, but in the end, he was bored, and the result was still Xiao Yingshi's cold face.
Unexpectedly, he had not seen him for several years, and his haughty temper not only did not wear away, but was particularly good at it. In a fit of anger, Li Linfu once again removed him from office, telling him to go wherever he came from. Xiao Yingshi has nothing to say about this result. There are no wet shoes when he often walks by the river. How can he, the grassroots, choose the ups and downs of officialdom? Even if this is the case, then you will feel at ease when you come, go with your heart, go with what happens, and then go on a two-sleeve breeze to visit the great rivers and mountains.
Xiao Yingshi's career is far from this, all say beauty disaster, can make men infatuated, his Xiao Yingshi romance and talent is not a disaster? Enough to make the court unable to stop, no matter how many times it was dismissed, how many times it was recalled. Throughout the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Yingshi should be the only talent who can deduce the Yingshi and the hermit incisively and vividly, just like the magnificent cymbals in the midsummer, three points into the mud, three points out of the water, and the remaining four points are the proudest soul in the wind and rain.
