If the ugly old man in front of me is Ouyang Xun, one of the four great masters of the early Tang Dynasty.

Then this guy is a big historical celebrity.

Do you want to sign him?

All of a sudden, Yang Fan's thoughts ran away.

Ouyang Xun, whose courtesy name was Xinben, was from Linxiang, Tanzhou. His father was He and the governor of Guangzhou. He was executed for treason. Xun should follow him and hide him and get rid of him. General Jiang was the son of his old friend and raised him privately. He was beautiful and had a sharp understanding of others.

It means that Ouyang Xun's father Ouyang He was a governor. He was defeated and captured because of his rebellion. Only Ouyang Xun was exempted for escaping, and the rest were killed.

After that, the empress dowager passed away and was pardoned by the world. Ouyang Xun was spared from death. After escaping the disaster, Ouyang Xun was adopted by his father's friend, Mr. Jiang.

And "beautiful and slutty, and extremely intelligent" is actually a model of me being ugly but very smart.

In history, Ouyang Xun and Li Yuan had a deep friendship and were awarded the position of Shizhong by Li Shimin, and were promoted to the position of Prince.

Combined with his official position and appearance, it is probably Ouyang Xun, who is known as one of the four great masters of the early Tang Dynasty!

According to historical records, when Changsun Wuji first met Ouyang Xun, he also mocked: "The character "shrunk" is made of a mountain, and he is burying his shoulders and is afraid of coming forward. Who said that he painted this monkey on the Lin Pavilion?"

Yang Fan raised his hands to agree with this poem, which was so appropriate.

The first time I thought Changsun Wuji was quite reliable.

Seeing Yang Fan staring at him with a strange expression, the ugly old man was not angry, but instead smiled and said, "Do you think I am ugly?"

If ordinary people hear this, they will definitely deny it, or even say a few decent words.

Because people in ancient times liked to pretend to be gentlemen!

Unfortunately, Yang Fan doesn't like those curves, even though the ugly old man in front of him was one of the four great masters in the early Tang Dynasty.

You can't flatter just because the other person is a celebrity.

That's too contrary to your true intentions!

So he said seriously: "It's indeed ugly, but as long as people have a beautiful heart, they will be admired."

Ouyang Xun didn't expect Yang Fan to be so frank, so he was choked and his face became a little hot.

Shouldn’t young people respect the elderly and love the young and be polite?

It's simply not about martial ethics.

I don't know what to say for a moment.

It's really too unexpected, can't it be more tactful?

I'm ugly but I'm gentle!

Ouyang Xun shed tears silently, Yang Fan was the first young man to dare to say he was ugly in front of him.

At this time, Li Shimin also finished reading the memorial. When he heard this, he stroked his forehead and was speechless. He turned to Ouyang Xun and said, "Don't pay attention to this guy. He is a thug. A mouth can make people angry and not lose their lives. Sometimes even I dare to tease him!"

After being praised by Li Shimin, Yang Fan touched his nose and thought to himself that His Majesty Li Er is indeed a confidant.

You ancient people always like to promote each other, what's the point?

Isn’t this a lie for such an ugly person?

Besides, if I say that, won’t Ouyang Xun blush?

As a modern young man, Yang Fan will certainly not be in the same circle.

Ouyang Xun was not angry, but instead smiled: "Su Wen Zhongyi Bo is both civil and military. Not only is he good at writing poetry, but he also has the style of a master in his calligraphy. My friend Chu Suiliang has boasted in front of me more than once that you have created a precedent for calligraphy. Why don't you show off your skills and open your eyes?"

Yang Fan was a little surprised, and the ugly old man was a little revenge.

Isn’t this embarrassing to show off my little skills in front of you, a calligraphy master?

Yang Fan smiled slightly: "How dare you? With everyone like you, how dare you show off your skills?"

When talking, Yang Fan smiled innocently, and it was like a student's humble attitude in front of the teacher. This came from the heart.

Although this old man looks ugly, his good calligraphy has been passed down for thousands of years.

Seeing the two who were complimenting each other, Li Shimin felt ashamed, waved his hand and frowned and said, "I will talk about these things later. The memorial to the clerk said that Tubo sent an envoy to ask me for my Tang Dynasty princess. What do you think about this?"

Marriage?

Tubo Songtsen Gampo married Princess Wencheng, which was later passed down as a good story.

It is believed that this is a great marriage, which brings peace to the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and contributes to the cultural exchanges between the two countries.

Yang Fan is difficult to agree with this statement.

Since Li Shimin asked about marriage, Yang Fan was most disgusted with using women as bargaining chips, and said directly: "Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate. What is marriage? I am trying to exchange women for peace. This is simply unrealistic and will not be taken by wise people."

Hearing Yang Fan's words, Ouyang Xun immediately retorted: "Zhongyi Bo, this is an ignorant word. When a person with knowledge is heard, he will laugh out loud. The policy of marriage is the Central Plains dynasty's gentle strategy to deal with foreign countries."

"The strategy of marriage kinship began at the time of King Xiang of Zhou. King Xiang of Zhou was preparing to attack Zheng State, so he married Di Nu as the queen and jointly attacked Zheng State with Rongdi soldiers. Marriage is the best political means. Marriage can be exchanged for border peace, prevent the people on the border from being disturbed, and make the soldiers bleeding. Marriage can bring peace for a period of time, allowing the country to cultivate and rest, prepare for war, and make the country truly powerful."

As soon as Ouyang Xun finished speaking, Li Shimin nodded and praised: "What the clerk said is well, this is the real purpose of marriage, it is just to let the princess marry a little..."

Before Li Shimin finished speaking, Yang Fan sneered: "The marriage is just a begging for the weak. My Tang Dynasty is in full swing, so why should I suffer this humiliation? Besides, the marriage has never brought about real peace. What it brings is just an increasingly plunder by the other party, whether it is economic or cultural aspects."

Yu Yangxun sneered: "Mr. Yang, you are still young. Maybe you are a little talented in chanting poetry and essays, and you are even extraordinary, but in politics, you are still a little immature and even too naive."

"Is the Han Dynasty strong? Chen Tang, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty, once mentioned that those who offend me, who are strong in the Han Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away. However, the Han Dynasty has always followed the strategy of marriage marriage from beginning to end. Are the emperors and ministers of the Han Dynasty all fools? You said that marriage marriage cannot bring true peace, but Zhaojun went out of the frontier and brought 50 years of peace to the Han Dynasty. What is the explanation?"

"Besides, children in the imperial family should have the responsibility to sacrifice themselves for the country. It is the supreme glory to shoulder the burden of marriage with a daughter. Otherwise, if wars arise, how many men will be buried in the battlefield, and how many people will cry bitterly?"

His Majesty Li Er nodded silently.

"Coward!" Yang Fan sneered and said with disdain.

I was originally respectful to the other party as a literary master, but I didn't expect to be so ignorant and so pedantic.

Ouyang Xun looked stunned!
