Poetry became popular in the Tang Dynasty, and most people who were slightly famous in writing poems and rhymes did well. Meng Haoran, who was 40 years old at the time, couldn't bear it anymore and came to Beijing to find a job. He found Wang Wei, a well-connected person, to help him. At that moment, Wang Wei learned of his intention, agreed wholeheartedly, and invited Meng to have a drink at his official residence.
I don’t know how the news of the gathering of great poets and the best poets was known to Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. He suddenly drove to the palace. I met Meng Haoran and asked about his poems.
When I saw Emperor Meng asking questions, I was flattered and started to recite poems. At this time, I kept reciting and drinking, and I was already drunk. When Meng recited the second sentence of his new work "Returning to Nanshan at the End of the Year" in Beijing, "I was exiled by the wise ruler because of my mistakes." Tang Xuanzong, who had always been very happy, suddenly said with an expressionless face: "Have you ever Please tell me, have I ever abandoned you?" Then he left. This time, the poor choice of words for "Drunken Yin" offended the emperor, and he lost the opportunity to enter the body.
Meng Haoran, who has been living in seclusion for three years, is still thinking about getting involved. One day, he thought his friend Han Chaozong could help him. Han Chaozong asked him to go to Beijing with him. On the day I went to Beijing, an old friend happened to come to visit, and Meng held a banquet in his honor. During the dinner, the two toasted to reminisce about old times, and Meng became drunk again. My family reminded me several times: "You should ask Mr. Han to go to Beijing."
Not only did Meng not stop drinking immediately, he even thought that his family was disappointed, so he said loudly: "Since the wine is open, what does it matter?" ?" This sentence made Han Chaozong, who was waiting in the living room, feel that this guy was ungrateful and very angry. Why should I recommend you? Now leave without saying goodbye. The ancient people's "drunk man's intention is not to drink", and the current people's "drunk driving" are both harmful and misleading.
