Fame is a very wonderful thing. Although it is invisible and intangible, as long as you live in society, fame is an indispensable thing. Simply put, fame is the evaluation of you by the whole society. If your reputation is not good, then you will not be recognized by society. No matter what you do, it will be difficult. On the contrary, if you have a very good reputation, you will invisibly get extra points from the other party in your interactions with others, so that it is easier to achieve your own goals.

Ancient society attached more importance to fame. Many people were even willing to give up family affection, wealth, etc., in order to win the reputation of a lifetime. Even the emperor who was the emperor also hoped to be famous for a lifetime and let future generations remember their achievements. All of these can be regarded as the scope of fame.

When Li Xiu died because of his beloved, he was furious and left the house in anger. Although many people thought he was unfilial and even regarded this as a joke in the capital, it is undeniable that many people still sympathized with Li Xiu and regarded him as a love-infatuated person, just like the Taisheng who died with a pillar in Zhuangzi.

Li Xiu received so many tokens of love at the small lantern festival. If Chai Shao had not revealed his identity, then as long as he did not propose marriage, even if someone knew his identity in the future, it would be no big deal. However, Chai Shao chose to reveal his identity when Li Xiu had just received so many tokens of love, and did not leave him any time to prove himself. Of course, Li Xiu could say that he accepted it out of politeness and did not intend to propose marriage, but someone would have to believe this?

Sure enough, when Li Yuan heard Chai Shao's words, his face immediately changed. He also remembered that Li Xiu had left the house because of a woman, but in the past year, he actually accepted so many women's love for him, which shows that he did not take the woman who died because of him at all. Such a kind and righteous person is simply shameless.

At the same time, the eyes of the people around him who looked at Li Xiu also changed, and they gradually changed from the appreciation just now to indifference and contempt. They had heard about Li Xiu at the beginning. Now that they knew Li Xiu's identity and the thick stack of love handkerchiefs in his hand, they felt an indescribable irony.

As for the women who threw the handkerchiefs to Li Xiu before, they all looked regretful. The eyes of Li Xiu were even more angry, as if they wanted to get back the handkerchiefs they had just thrown to Li Xiu.

Among all the people present, only Princess Pingyang and Ma Ye knew that Li Xiu was not that kind of person. However, they wanted to speak up for Li Xiu several times, but they found that no matter what they said, they seemed so pale and powerless.

As for Chai Shao, who was standing beside Li Yuan, he sneered with smugness. As long as Li Xiu was confirmed to be indifferent today, he would be despised by all the nobles, and even His Majesty the Emperor would be disgusted with him. In this way, this kid would never have a chance to make a comeback in the future.

Everyone present, including Li Yuan, was waiting for Li Xiu's defense, but what no one expected was that Li Xiu was standing there with a calm look on his face. No matter what other people looked at him, he was very calm, and he had no intention of defending him. Finally, Li Yuan couldn't help but speak, "Li Xiu, what do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty, I have nothing to say!" Li Xiu said with a deep thought, and his words made Chai Shao laugh, while Princess Pingyang and Ma Master were both anxious. At this time, even if Li Xiu defended himself as he would not propose marriage, even if not many people believed it, at least he would express his attitude and lay a foundation for his future turnaround. However, Li Xiu did not even defend himself, which almost confirmed his reputation as a ruthless person.

Li Xiu did not defend himself, which was also beyond Li Yuan's expectations. However, he thought Li Xiu had nothing to say, so he couldn't help but snorted coldly: "It's getting late, Captain Li should go back early to rest!"

Although Li Yuan said politely, he was actually driving Li Xiu away. You must know that he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If he could let him, the emperor, give an order to expel guests in person, I am afraid that Li Xiu was the first person since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. However, the eyes of the people around him looked at Li Xiu without any sympathy, but they all looked like cold knifes.

Faced with Li Yuan's expulsion and the contempt of others, Li Xiu still looked as usual. He bowed to Li Yuan, then turned around and left, one step, two steps, three steps...

Just when everyone thought Li Xiu had accepted his fate and began to talk a lot, Chai Shao was also fantasizing that Li Xiu's reputation of being unkind and righteous spread throughout Chang'an City the next day, he suddenly heard Li Xiu leaving, chanting:

On the night of the year last year,

The lights in the flower market are as bright as day.

The moon rises to the willows,

People make an appointment after dusk.

On the day of the year,

The moon and the lights are still the same.

Missing last year's people,

Tears wet the sleeves of the spring shirt.

The first part of this song "Sheng Chazi·Yuanxi" describes the events of the Shangyuan Festival last year. In just four sentences, it creates a hazy, quiet, graceful and gentle artistic conception. The second part of the poem describes the pain of longing for the lovesickness on this year's Lantern Festival. "The moon and the lamp are still the same" and "I don't see the last year's people", expressing the poet's heavy and long-lasting longing for his past lovers. Combined with Li Xiu's experience, it was simply written for him.

When Li Xiu started chanting, there were other people talking on the field, but when he read "The moon was on the willows, and people made an appointment after dusk", the whole lantern festival suddenly became silent, and everyone was listening to the poem chanted by Li Xiu. When the last sentence "I didn't see people last year, tears wet the sleeves of the spring shirt" was recited, many sentimental women burst into tears on the spot. However, when they opened their tears and misty eyes and looked at the person who recited the poem, they found that the other party had already walked out of the door and disappeared into the night.

After a long time, Li Xiu suddenly woke up at the small lantern festival after leaving. Li Yuan was the first to speak: "A good poem, although his words are simple, he is extremely sad. In just a few dozen words, he has already outlined the experience of a pair of bitter men and women. Such a sincere and sincere poem should be remembered forever!"

Li Yuan's praise finally ignited the audience. Everyone started to discuss the poem that Li Xiu had just recited just now. If Li Xiu heard their discussion, he would probably laugh out loud immediately, because he was not reciting poems, but a poem, but this poem was neatly used, and it looked like a poem.

It is precisely because of this that after discussing the lyrics and artistic conception of this poem, the people present quickly brought the topic to the author Li Xiu. No one suspected that Li Xiu copied the poem because this poem was about his own experience. It was just that he was so young and made such a masterpiece in such a short time. This talent is simply comparable to Cao Zhi, who made seven-step poems.

"On the New Year's Eve this year, the moon and the lights are still the same. I don't see the person last year, and tears wet the sleeves of the spring shirt." Princess Pingyang also softly repeated the second half of the lyrics, and a sad look on her face. After a moment, she sighed, "Others can be deceived, but the feelings in the poem cannot be deceived. It seems that Li Xiu is indeed deeply in love with that woman!"

The others present, including Li Yuan, also had the same idea as Princess Pingyang. They thought Li Xiu was a kind-hearted person, but just by relying on this sincere poem, they completely reversed their impression of Li Xiu.

The noble girls on the field were all staring at the direction where Li Xiu left, their eyes were blurred and sad, infatuated and talented. Such a young handsome man was simply the most ideal husband, but unfortunately they missed it. Only those few noble girls who had thrown their handkerchiefs to Li Xiu before showed happy and shy expressions, fantasizing that Li Xiu would come to propose marriage in the future, but thinking of Li Xiu's infatuation with the deceased woman made them turn from joy to sorrow.

How... how is it possible? Chai Shao could not accept this sudden reversal at this time. He was sure to win, but Li Xiu actually completely reversed the situation with a poem. Everyone on the field, including Li Yuan, praised Li Xiu very much. He even found that Princess Pingyang was staring at the direction of Li Xiu leaving like the girls on the field, which made him even more jealous and wanted to kill Li Xiu, the kid.

"Okay, Sanniang, you are tired too. I will accompany you back for your father. My dear friends will continue to enjoy the lanterns and drink!" Li Yuan suddenly coughed lightly at this time. He misunderstood Li Xiu just now and drove him out in person. The facts proved that he was wrong, but he was the emperor, even if he was wrong, it was right. Of course, his impression of Li Xiu was completely different at this time.

When Li Yuan said the above, he glared at Chai Shao fiercely. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have made a fool of himself in front of everyone. Chai Shao was also bitter at this time, and when he felt Li Yuan's gaze, he could only lower his head deeply. Li Yuan said just now that he wanted to go back to the hall with Princess Pingyang, but he didn't mention him at all. It was obvious that he was already angry with him.

"Yes!" Princess Pingyang bowed slightly at this time, and returned to the hall with Li Yuan. However, when she left, her eyes once again looked inadvertently in the direction where Li Xiu left. She and Li Xiu had known him for a long time. Uncle Ma had known him for a longer time, but the two of them had never discovered that he had such literary talent. Could it be that he had been hiding his shortcomings? If this is true, then how many talents does Li Xiu still have that are unknown to outsiders?
