"Little immortal, please tell me the story as soon as possible," Yan Zhenqing was very excited and expectant when he heard that he was going to talk about his deeds. He really wanted to know what happened to him later.

In fact, he had more or less guessed it. It was simply related to the Anshi Rebellion, but he still couldn't accept it. When he thought of the fate of his family, his heart ached.

His brother, his nephew, couldn't help but have tears in his eyes again.

Seeing Yan Zhenqing's appearance, Guan Yu and Yang Zaixing couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. If they encountered this situation, they would also collapse.

They all patted Yan Zhenqing on the shoulder to comfort him, but Yan Zhenqing shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

“I have said a lot about Senior Yan Zhenqing before.

Mr. Yan Zhenqing, you are one of the top calligraphers, but there are very few authentic works of yours.

"Eulogy for My Nephew" is kept in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. It is a national treasure and naturally cannot be auctioned.

If we were to obtain some authentic works of famous ancestors in our later generations, we would have no worries about food and drink and could live a life of luxury for the rest of our lives!"

Li Wu It’s a pity that there are so few authentic works of Yan Zhenqing. There are some that are circulated, but we don’t know whether they are real or fake. But there is a high probability that they are fake.

"Is a piece of calligraphy so valuable?" Yang Zaixing asked. Just by writing a few words, can he have no worries about food and drink for the rest of his life, or even not have to work?

"Young man Yang Zaixing, have you forgotten what the immortal said last time that a painting by Tang Bohu of the Ming Dynasty was sold for 36 billion?" Guan Yu was envious. Could these literati actually make money like this?

Yan Zhenqing remained silent. These were not things that could be measured by price. Just like him, he also liked the calligraphy of his predecessor Wang Xizhi. If he could get the original, he would definitely keep it well and not let others know.

If other people knew about this, I would lose my ability to protect myself!

"Yes," Yang Zaixing nodded. Alas, there is no comparison.

Many literati in front of the sky curtain actually also want to know how much the calligraphy and paintings they have left behind will be worth in the future, and they also like to compare with others.

Although they don't value money, they can't be cheaper than others, right?

"Ahem, we've gone off topic. Let's continue talking about the deeds of Senior Yan Zhenqing. Your original works are naturally priceless treasures," Li Wu praised. They are all priceless treasures, all, all.

When Yan Zhenqing heard the little fairy say this, he couldn't help laughing. The little fairy was quite good at talking.

"Senior Yan Zhenqing, you are a veteran of four dynasties. You have devoted your life to the Tang Dynasty and were also an important contributor to the recovery of Hebei during the An-Shi Rebellion.

Ultimately, it was the fault of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji. He was super-godlike in the early stage and super-devillike in the later stage.

He thought he was great and had managed the country in good order, so he thought he could enjoy himself, and that’s how the An-Shi Rebellion happened.”

After all, it was still too much. The treacherous ministers were also to blame. Many people also blamed everything on Yang Guifei. Li Wu could not agree with this.

All I can say is that beauties serve as embellishments in prosperous times, while beauties take the blame in troubled times.

Even if Yang Guifei was wrong, wasn't the biggest problem him, Li Longji?

Yan Zhenqing did not dare to comment on Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. Although he became the emperor emeritus, he was still a member of the royal family and it was not something he could comment on.

However, Guan Yu and Yang Zaixing did not have so many concerns. They were not from the same dynasty, so they would care about what Li Longji thought. If possible, they would want to beat him up for killing so many people.

“When I read the comments, it said that the emperor was forced to abdicate. Is this true?

Being forced to abdicate is indeed a good thing, as so many people would not have died in the future." Guan Yu felt sad when he thought of the more than 30 million people who died in the An-Shi Rebellion. Even the combined number of deaths in their wars was not that high.

"After all, it's not cruel enough. We should learn from the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty," Yang Zaixing curled his lips. Why couldn't their Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty learn from the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? It would be better to just execute the emperor directly.

Yang Zaixing had been unhappy with their own emperor for too long. If it weren't for the marshal, he really wanted to chop that dog emperor to death. He even used false charges to kill the marshal. He was simply not a human being.

Yan Zhenqing smiled awkwardly and signaled to Yang Zaixing with his eyes, asking him to say less. After all, he had become the emperor emeritus and was still alive. What if he was blamed?

Yang Zaixing pretended not to see it.

Li Longji and Wanyan Gou in front of the sky curtain were so angry that they were about to die, but they didn't dare to show their heads because the barrage of comments were all scolding them.

What else can they do? They can only play dead. They are used to being scolded. Really, even if they are not used to it, it is useless because someone scolds them every day.

"Ahem, Senior Yang Zaixing, please eat meat, eat meat," Li Wu picked up some food for Yang Zaixing, fearing that he would say something else. There were some things she could curse at him as she pleased, but not Yang Zaixing, as he still had to go back.

Wanyan Gou really deserves to die and be scolded, but Yang Zaixing can scold him secretly, he cannot scold him in public, otherwise what if the Emperor of the Song Dynasty holds a grudge against him?

"Thank you, little immortal," Yang Zaixing smiled happily at Li Wu, while the others looked helpless.

"Then I will continue to talk about the deeds of Senior Yan Zhenqing.

Senior Yan Zhenqing, your courtesy name was Qingchen, your nickname was Xianmenzi, and you were from Wannian County, Jingzhao Prefecture.

Senior Yan Zhenqing, you are from the Yan family of Langya, and are a descendant of Yan Hui, the leader of the 72 sages of Confucius! "

After Li Wu said this, Guan Yu and Yang Zaixing both looked at Yan Zhenqing. They did not expect that Yan Zhenqing was actually a descendant of Yan Hui. Although they both had the surname Yan, who could have guessed it?

When Yan Hui in front of the sky curtain heard that it was his descendants, he couldn't help laughing. Not bad, not bad, his descendants are very good.

"The Yan family has been distinguished for generations, and the family tradition of scholarship has been passed down from generation to generation. Senior Yan Zhenqing, you are even more of an official among the second-generation officials.

Mr. Yan Zhenqing, you lost your father when you were three years old, and were personally educated by your mother, Madam Yin. When you grew up, you were knowledgeable, good at writing, and very filial to your mother.

In 734 AD, Mr. Yan Zhenqing passed the imperial examination and became a proofreader.

In 738 AD, your mother, Mr. Yan Zhenqing, passed away, so naturally you had to go back to observe mourning for three years.

In 742 AD, you returned to Chang'an again, and passed the imperial examination for erudition and literary talent, and were later appointed as the lieutenant of Liquan County.

In 746 AD, you were transferred to be the county lieutenant of Chang'an.

However, in 749 AD, Senior Yan Zhenqing was promoted to Palace Attendant Censor and Deputy Director of the Ministry of War. Later, because of his upright advice, he offended the treacherous prime minister Yang Guozhong and was directly transferred out of the capital and demoted to the prefect of Pingyuan.

This Pingyuan County is not ordinary. This place happens to be the jurisdiction of An Lushan, the governor of Three Towns.

Senior Yan Zhenqing, you are such a smart man, how could you not notice that An Lushan had rebellious intentions?

On the one hand, you paralyzed An Lushan by sailing and drinking with guests all day long, while on the other hand, you secretly recruited soldiers to strengthen the city walls, dredged the moat, recruited able-bodied men, and stored food and fodder.

After a while, An Lushan felt that Senior Yan Zhenqing was just a scholar and was not to be feared at all. "
