Chapter 109: Yilong asks for advice

"I rarely write a biography for women, is there any disadvantage in this?" Fan Ye asked her with a wide eye.

Qiyun smiled slightly, and replied loudly: "Of course there are shortcomings, for example, the Empress Dowager Dou of the Western Han Dynasty assisted three generations of emperors, how could Wenjing Zhizhi not have a share of her credit?" In the "Historical Records", it only recorded that she was good at Huang Lao's learning, and did not write a separate biography for the Empress Dowager Dou, her name and experience are extremely vague. Without her biography, how can future generations see the whole picture of Wenjingzhizhi? ”

When Fan Ye heard this, he gradually put away his arrogant and disdainful look, and turned to listen attentively. Yilong saw Fan Ye's expression, and secretly laughed in his heart.

Qiyun took a sip of tea and said: ""Zhou Yi" talks about one yin and one yang, and yin and yang are combined and all things are born. Why should men and women be inferior and inferior? By inference, there is an emperor in the history books, why can't there be a queen? The Eastern Han Dynasty started from Emperor He, and there were six empress dowagers in a row. If you don't pass it on to them, how can the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty be understood by future generations? Of course, in addition to the queen mother's concubines, there are many virtuous and outstanding women in the world. If as a historian, if you don't record the experience stories of these women, the women of the world don't know how to settle down in the world, how can the history books really reflect their role in learning from the past and knowing the future? ”

Fan Ye asked Qiyun: "County Lord, in addition to the Queen Mother's concubines, what other women do you think are worth passing on?" ”

Qiyun replied: "During the Eastern Han Dynasty, women's behavior can be a model for future generations, not necessarily chaste martyrs. For example, Cai Yong's daughter Cai Wenji has amazing talent, so she should be passed on. She had a miserable life and was displaced, as the daughter of the official marquis, which shows the depth of the scourge of war in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. ”

Fan Ye nodded and said: "I only said that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the warlords divided the territory and divided the war. But things have changed, and future generations have not experienced it personally, so they naturally do not have a deep understanding. If you write a biography for her, through a painful experience of dividing the war and the suffering of the people who were displaced, you will feel the same way. ”

Seeing that he agreed with her words, Qiyun said happily, "Mr. Fan, if you can write a biography for an outstanding woman in the world, you will set this precedent. Qiyun is a woman in the world, thank you first. With that, he got up and saluted Fan Ye.

Fan Ye stood up and returned the salute and said: "The county lord proposed to pass on the women of the world, and after a high discussion, Fan suddenly became enlightened. Then he turned his head to Yilong and said: "In the past, I heard the prince say how the county lord saw extraordinary, but I just didn't believe it in my heart. Now, it seems that the prince is not lying. ”

When Yilong saw it, Ha Lu Ha smiled and said, "Qiyun, do you know Lu Dao." Fan Ye is a person with eyes on his forehead, and there are not many people who can convince him and make him say a good voice. ”

Pei Songzhi, who was beside him, also said: "The purpose of compiling the history books is to prevent the deeds of heroes from being annihilated by the passage of time, and the pain caused by the disaster of war can also provide lessons for future generations of heroes." If the description of events and people can make the reader feel immersive, the article will no longer be empty, and the truth contained in the history book can be convincing. ”

Yilong and Fan Ye nodded, "That's exactly how it should be." ”

Fan Ye said to Yilong: "I just heard the poem recited by the prince for the county lord, and I think it is very wonderful. Why don't you write it for the county lord, how about sending it to the county lord? ”

Yilong smiled gently: "Yun'er, it's not easy to get Fan Ye's ink treasure. Qiyun was very pleased when he heard it, "Mr. Fan's official book is a unique in the world, and with Brother Yilong's poems, it is even more priceless!" ”

So, Yilong asked Wang Hua and others to prepare pen and inkstone. Fan Ye dipped his pen in ink, and wrote Yilong's "Poem on Dengjingyanglou" on snow paper with his good official book. After writing, everyone appreciated and praised: "The poem is a good poem, and the words are good words." Complement each other and be beautiful. ”

At this time, Kong Ningzi, who was standing beside Yilong, arched his hand and said: "The lower official read the prince's poem, and suddenly had an occasional gain in his heart. I heard that on the day of the county lord's birthday, Kang Legong and others wrote poems to the county lord. It's better to write a poem under it to show respect. ”

Yilong nodded with a smile, "Very good, you are also proficient in poetry, so you can make a song." ”

Kong Ningzi bowed and wrote:

The gentleman is happy and the festival, and the product is waiting for the sun.

The upper position descended to prosperity, and the Yuan Si was destined to frolic in the water.

Cangwu ring bridge, the tree feather flag.

The high tree is anti-flying sail, and the feather cover is full of branches.

Fei Fei sounded excitedly, and Juan'e spit out clear words.

There is no point between Myanmar and Burma, and there is a lot of thought.

Yilong raised an eyebrow at him, his eyes questioning. Kong Ningzi said respectfully: "The prince is cold and snowy in front of him, but his heart is full of spring, which makes the lower officials also remember the scene of playing in the spring in the spring festival that year. Therefore, it was sent to the county lord with this song "Song Xing". ”

Yilong was in a happy mood, nodded and praised, "You have this thought, it is very much in line with me." ”

Qiyun secretly thought: This person is completely different from Fan Ye's temperament, Fan Ye is arrogant and sincere, while Kong Ningzi is good at observing words and feelings, and touching the master's mind. Kong Ningzi's character is the most suitable for officialdom, and the officialdom will be unlimited in the future.

While everyone was laughing, an attendant came in from outside and leaned over to speak in Yilong's ear. After hearing this, Yilong waved him and ordered him to stand back, and saw that everyone was looking at him. He smiled and said, "Everyone here is my own people, and seeing that everyone cares so much about Yilong, I will inform you of this." All of you here have an idea for this king. ”

Yilong picked up the wine glass in his hand, took a sip of wine, and said slowly: "I just got a secret report, after the beginning of spring, the emperor intends to let me leave Jiankang and return to Jingzhou to take office." I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse, what do you think? With that, his eyes looked at Qiyun.

Qiyun said with a smile: "It is most appropriate to ask Mr. Pei about this matter, Jingzhou was the focus of warlords from all walks of life from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, and it was almost related to the rise and fall of the dynasty. Mr. Pei was annotating the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and asked him how clearly. ”

Pei Song's hand stroked his beautiful beard and smiled: "The county lord will be lazy." Whether the prince should return to Jingzhou to take office, Pei's opinion is that the prince should go. Jingzhou has the Yangtze River moat in the south and Xiangyang in the north. Since ancient times, its geographical location has been extremely important, and it has been a battleground for soldiers. One is the danger of mountains and rivers, and the other is the economic backing, where the fertile fields are thousands of miles away, which can provide sufficient food for soldiers. Third, there is the convenience of transportation, tracing the Yangtze River up can pass through Bashu Tianfu, and down the Yangtze River can go directly to Wuyue to deter the Beijing Division. ”

Kong Ningzi on the side listened to it, had a deep understanding, and persuaded: "Jingzhou's terrain is dangerous, you can attack if you advance, and you can defend when you retreat." His Majesty does not know the importance of Jingzhou's location, and intends to let the prince return to Jingzhou, which is a God-given opportunity, and the prince should not miss it. ”

Yilong looked at Qiyun sideways, and Wen Yan asked, "Yun'er, what do you think?" ”

Qiyun didn't say much, just said lightly: "Look at Yilong, what do you want." You have been running Jingzhou for many years, and you must not give up. ”
