Chapter 56 The Soft Power of Carrying Private Goods
The view of one luck, two lives and three feng shui is very marketable among the great Song scholars, since his greedy wolf life seems to be very good, Yun Zheng thinks that he doesn't need to refute anything, as long as it is good for himself, what kind of thing is not a loss, greedy wolf, I feel murderous when I hear it.
Shangyuan Festival always discusses how boring these things are, Ouyang Xiu has already recited his masterpiece, attracting countless people's applause,
On New Year's Eve last year, the flower market was lit up like day.
The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk.
On New Year's Eve this year, the moon and lights are still the same.
I didn't see last year's people, and my tears wet the sleeves of my spring shirt.
Yun Zheng was also very excited to see the birth of such a poem with his own eyes, the sentence "The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk" have shone in the Chinese literary world for more than a thousand years.
I wonder who this master is missing? The beard is half a foot long, do you still have the intention of stealing incense and stealing jade? Stealing jade and stealing incense is what the greedy wolf star of Peach Blossom Life should do, what did he rob?
After accepting everyone's compliments, Ouyang Xiu raised his glass and sighed: "I heard that Yun Hou wrote a poem that is also wonderful, and the old man can be regarded as throwing bricks and stones, I don't know if Yun Hou can recite it, let me wait to open my eyes." ”
Yun Zheng was already sitting in a dark place, and he didn't want to come out to show off in front of everyone today, he was already very hated, so he could be low-key, who would have thought that Ouyang Xiu would find himself out.
The emperor looked at Yun Zheng with a smile. also raised the golden cup in his hand, which made Yun Zheng unavoidable and had no choice but to reply: "It's just a small game in the boudoir, how can it be comparable to the master's masterpiece." Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning. ”
Zhao Zhen didn't give Yun Zheng a chance to dodge at all, took a note from the silver plate next to him, and said with a smile: "How can such a beautiful text be locked in the boudoir, Zou Tong, take it and read it, and add a good story to this Shangyuan Festival." ”
Zou Tong immediately opened the notebook. After pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth and said, ".
Thousands of trees bloom at night in the east wind,
More blown down, the stars are like rain.
BMW carved cars are full of fragrance.
The sound of the phoenix flute moved, and the light of the jade pot turned.
A night of fish and dragon dance.
Moth snow willow golden wisps,
The laughter is full of dark fragrance.
The crowd is looking for him thousands of times,
Suddenly I looked back, but the man was there,
The lights are dim.
"What a rich song!" Han Qi rushed ahead of Ouyang Xiu, who was amazed, and gave this poem a final sentence, and then he didn't appreciate this good word that has been passed down through the ages.
Zhao Zhen was a little embarrassed, and wanted to speak again, so he listened to Han Qi say: "When it comes to the magnificence and freshness of poetry." I have to talk about Liu Yong, who claims to be ordered to fill in the words, Liu Sanchang, but as His Majesty said. This kind of poetry is not beneficial to my Great Song Dynasty, it will only make people indulge in the colorful ten zhang soft red, Liu Sanbian himself also said, endure the floating name to a shallow low singing, now the people of the past have gone, I want to hear such flashy sentences. It seems to depend on Yunhou's state of mind. ”
As soon as Han Qi spoke, he immediately echoed the crowd. On weekdays in the court, Han Qi, who has always been rigorous, categorically would not speak like this, but now he is above the cocktail party, and the arrogance in his bones suddenly attacked, he is the person who looks down on Liu Sanbian the most, seeing that Yun Zheng also came up with a good poem, thinking of the one he wrote made Han Qi very uncomfortable, and the literati's light temperament also came out.
Yun Zheng looked at Han Qi and said helplessly: "Old Han, to be honest, I also think that poetry has little effect on the state affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, but it can't be as unbearable as you say."
Do you know that there are two kinds of strength in a country, one is called soft power and the other is called hard power, and if you don't know this, you will be too biased to say that poetry is useless. ”
Ouyang Xiu was also annoyed by what Han Qi said just now, he just relied on poetry to eat, Han Qi did this by overturning a boatload of people with a rod, but Han Qi, who had always been tough, would not care about this little bit.
Ouyang Xiu saw that Yun Zheng was halfway through his words, and he was also very curious, and couldn't help asking, "I want to hear about it!" ”
"The so-called hard power refers to how many armored soldiers and cavalry we have in the Great Song Dynasty, whether the soldiers are brave, whether the people are abundant, whether the treasury is full, whether the people are happy, and whether His Majesty is wise or not is also a kind of hard power, which refers to the kind of strength that can be put on the table and seen. This is the foundation of a country, and there is no room for error. ”
Pang Ji opened his mouth and said: "We know this, you directly say what soft power is, and the old man listens to it." ”
Yun Zheng picked up the wine jar and took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "The so-called soft power actually refers to the influence of a country, which is what we usually call the way of education.
People have a sense of likes and dislikes, love and hatred, and the five tones make them feel happy, so when foreigners accept the Great Song Dynasty, the first thing they will accept is the culture of the Great Song Dynasty.
I don't mean the Four Books and Five Classics, but the very popular poems on the market in the Great Song Dynasty, "The moon is on the willow tops, and people are about after dusk", such beautiful sentences are of course easier for people to remember than the notes you wrote by Lao Han.
And such a beautiful sentence Gentile doesn't seem to be able to write, I heard that as long as there is a beautiful poem in the Great Song Dynasty, it will be sung in Xijing in Liaoguo in less than half a month, and the people there are very respectful of the prosperity of Tokyo, as well as the literati and scholars with high crowns, Lao Wen, you have been an envoy to Liao, when you listen to those people talk about the Great Song Dynasty in Liao, the first thing you talk about is what I am talking about in the Great Song Dynasty? ”
Wen Yanbo raised his glass to invite a drink, Yun Zheng raised the wine jar and took a big sip, and heard Wen Yanbo laugh and said: "Indeed, as Yunhou said, the first thing they talked about was the famous sentence of my Great Song Dynasty, and then it was the new thing in Tokyo, as for the major military affairs, few people mentioned it, such a talk seems useless, but the old man thinks that this kind of talk can at least shorten the distance between the two countries, and my Great Song Dynasty and Liao have been at peace for many years, and there may not be such public opinion behind it." ”
After Yun Zheng thanked Wen Yanbo, he walked to the battlement of the city wall with his wine jar, and pointed to the people who were dancing the fish and dragon dance in countless circles below: "People who are so happy, so excited, and who live in such an orderly life, looking at the world, only my Great Song Dynasty can do it, for this joy and happiness, even if Yun Zheng dies on the battlefield, the horse leather shroud will not regret it!" ”
Yun Zheng took another big sip of wine and said in a loud voice: "Look at the darkness that is as heavy as iron to the north, and the people there are living under the tyranny of Yelu Hongji.
Looking to the west, an obscene woman in Western Xia is extravagantly building the most beautiful temple in the world, and using her own appearance as a model, intending to become a god!
If our eyes could drift to the farthest reaches with the night wind, you would see that the people there were not living with any dignity at all.
Since the Western Roman Empire was destroyed by the Germanic peoples, a number of barbarian states have emerged there. There have been Franks, Lombard, Odoac, Burgundy, Vandal. The kingdoms of Alan, Ostrogothic, Visigothic, Anglo-Saxon, etc., were established. The wars between kingdoms have been going on for 500 years, and there is no hope of subsidence.
Their Holy See is burning the wisest men of the land with fire.
When the great cannibals smeared their foreheads with the blood of slaves in a vain attempt to gain courage, our people were celebrating all over the world, and some people may still lack food and clothing, but it doesn't matter, as long as they are in the Great Song Dynasty, they have hope.
We want to spread the reputation of the great Song Dynasty to the farthest places, and we also want to make the benevolence of the Great Song emperors completely known to people all over the world, as long as they know this qiē, they will learn from the Great Song Dynasty, and they will aspire to come to the Great Song Dynasty, so that we can rule their souls. It seems to me that the soul that rules over each man is far more noble than the * that rules over them.
This is soft power, our poetry, our clothing, our way of life, if people all over the world live like the Great Song Dynasty, we have completed the important task of Deze the world. ”
Yun Zheng was extremely excited when he said it, Zhao Zhen also heard it with some emotion, Ouyang Xiu and these romantic people were also full of longing for the future, and Han Qi's eyes were also a little scattered......
However, the treacherous and cunning Pang Ji walked to Yun Zheng's side, took the wine jar in Yun Zheng's hand, smelled it, took a sip, frowned and said, "Yun Hou, why do you drink such strong wine on a happy day?" You're drunk! ”
Yun Zheng reluctantly snatched his own wine jar, and clearly knew in Pang Ji's smiling eyes that what he had just said to bewitch others was in vain, and the old guy ruined the atmosphere of his painstaking management with a sentence of "drunk".
Yun Zheng pouted and went to Di Qing and Shi Zhongxin, Shi Daxin, and Cao Rong to fight for wine, so strange drinking orders such as two tigers rang out in the military attache group.
Zhao Zhen actually didn't like to sit with a dull person like Pang Ji, but Pang Ji was telling him about the origin of the various celebrations of the people below, so he had to continue to listen patiently.
When a game like two tigers turned into a toad leg, Zhao Zhen finally couldn't help but ask Pang Ji: "Yunqing, they seem to be very lively, how about we go and see together?" ”
Han Qi frowned and said, "It's too vulgar, your majesty should not listen to it." The elders under the city are about to pray for His Majesty's blessing and ask for wine, and the time is almost up. ”
Zhao Zhen had no choice but to sit down and continue to listen to the officials of the Ministry of Rites tell him about the matters that need to be paid attention to when ordering grass dragon gold powder for a while, such activities occur every year, but the scene of Di Qing counting the wrong toad legs and punishing wine is rare, so Zhao Zhen is very irritable.
Suddenly, the people in the city shouted in unison, and the ministers upstairs turned their attention to the hundreds of meters long grass dragon in the square, the dragon circled and rolled up, and the huge dragon head actually reached the city wall, flashing two eyes without beads, as if they were longing for someone to light his eyes.
Zhao Zhen got up with a smile, picked up a huge brush, dipped it in gold dust, and pointed it heavily on the dragon's head, and the surrounding eunuch Gong'e took out countless silver bills and sprinkled them downward, and hundreds of officials also went over to help, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
"Yunhou, this thing is for the people, not for your own pocket......"
"Oh, get used to ......" (to be continued)
