Chapter 9: Yu Lao's Forbidden Poems
Yu Lao has no culture, and the baby boy has never taken a name, until he was more than three years old in the township census Dingkou, so he let the help take a name - Yu Pan Guo, one to commemorate Pan Cuifen, and the other to repay Guo Da Hammer for many years of nurturing grace, after all, he taught himself the blacksmith craft for a living, and left himself a blacksmith shop.
Since childhood, he has suffered the loss of no culture, and in the days to come, although Yu Lao is still thrifty, he has never been stingy in Pan Guo's education.
This kind of day lasted for many years, Yu Lao usually does not steal two do not rob, three do not eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, four do not be greedy for money and have fun, busy working during the day to strike iron, at night according to his son to read and learn literature, over time I became interested in the square words, with the help of Pan Guo, began to learn words and write poems, counting the time of learning words in this day, Yu Lao is already in his early thirties.
After a few years, Yu Pan Guo was fifteen years old, and the adolescent boy would inevitably have a quarrel with someone, a group of teenage rich children in this national prison were not disciplined, and Yu Pan Guo naturally would not let go lightly when he had a conflict, and he was not spared lightly in his fists and feet, and there was no bottom line in his words, and the ugliness of the two generations of the Yu family was smashed on Pan Guo's face, and he was bullied like a bastard, which spread greatly among his peers, and the humiliation was so bad that Pan Guo could no longer raise his head.
Years of oppression finally broke out on the day of Guozijian's graduation, and after Pan Guo set up a puzzle array, he beat up the rich children in the early years, returned home and left a letter, and after explaining the ins and outs, he was alone and fled to Yunchuan.
After several years of this incident, Yu Laocai went to the southwest Yunchuan country alone to find Yu Pan Guo, but fortunately, Pan Guo entered the Baiyimen's medical hall in Yunchuan and had a wife, wife and children.
Yu Lao finally didn't have much to worry about for most of his life, he still made a living by iron during the day, and at night he had an oil lamp and a piece of paper, holding a few copies of "Five Years of Poetry and Three Years of Poetry" left by Yu Panguo, painting scoops according to the gourd, and taught himself some Pingqiao Qian (ze4) to fall, and became obsessed with limerick poetry.
participated in the poetry meeting for decades, and Yu Lao wrote nearly 1,000 limerick poems, among which the most famous and "least famous" was a forbidden poem written 18 years ago:
Night Snow
Last night the north wind was cold,
Heavenly spitting.
Oriental red sunrise,
It is suspected to be a phlegm-reducing pill.
This poem is a poem that anyone who understands the snowy night of the southern country who reads it, will be frightened to the spine, only afraid that the future is not guaranteed, but the author of this poem is old and ignorant of current affairs, and writes poems behind closed doors every day.
But even so, Yu Lao didn't know why he was banned, and when people asked, he saw that everyone took a detour and avoided saying it, and over time, that's it.
From then on, when Yu Lao Poetry would recite poems, he would bring a large stack of limerick poems written by himself, and then circulate them with others before going to the poetry stage, and only after making sure that he did not commit taboos would he go on stage to recite.
Poor poets like Yu Lao write on their own, and as for those sons and brothers who are wealthy, have no ink, and covet poetry, they rely on asking for sentences to buy poems.
The better poems can easily sell for dozens of taels, and some of the whole poems that are amazing are priceless, and they will only be sold privately to some wealthy and reputable magnates, the most famous of which is the nephew of the current Queen Mother of the Southern Kingdom, the fourth son of the auxiliary family, and the distant cousin of Zhong Lixiong, the Marquis of Yangzhou - Zhong Xuan.
Today's poetry meeting, Zhong Xuan will naturally not miss it, twenty-seven or eight-year-old, fat head and big ears, white and tender and clean face, pampered on weekdays, the four bodies are not diligent and the five grains are not divided, relying on the power of the family, the official and the marquis, and the king of Yangzhou, a brocade and jade robe, the most eye-catching is the state marquis emblem on his cuffs - two strings of gold silk red embroidered bayberry.
According to the etiquette law, this southern country is the world of the Zhao family, and he Zhongxuan is at best the nephew of the queen mother, and he has nothing to do with the royal family.
But now in this situation, it is only the wishful thinking of some people with lofty ideals in the south to say that the south is the world of the Zhao family.
The current emperor Zhao Mengnian is only over seventeen, with his stepmother the current empress dowager Zhongda, next year may not be able to pro-government, Manchu Dynasty Wenwuli, except for a few cronies with different surnames who followed the first emperor Zhao Ji to seek the world, the only reliance is his uncle and uncle, Lin Xiao and his father, Lin Dong, the left minister.
On the other hand, I don't know what kind of magic trick the current Queen Mother Zhongda used back then, or if it is the historical fact.
Zhao Meng's biological mother, Lin Dong's sister, Lin Lanlan's concubine died violently less than half a year later, Zhongda begged the first emperor Zhao Yu to succeed the then crown prince Zhao Meng, you must know that this Zhongda is a princess married to Dongyin, and the future of the southern country will be passed on to the royal family of a foreign country, which is really unheard of, rare in ancient and modern times.
And that Zhao Ji actually agreed?!
What's even more strange is that a year after this incident, Zhongda, who has become the empress, returned to Dongyin Province for less than three days, and the former emperor Zhao Ji, whose strength had been improved to the first stage of the Spirit Emperor, also died violently in the retreat cultivation, with no symptoms in the whole body, and no damage to the meridian qi and blood.
What's even more surprising is that ten months after the current emperor Zhao Meng succeeded to the throne, the Empress Dowager Zhongda actually gave birth to a posthumous son, the king of Zhuzhou, and the folk privately nicknamed the "dwarf king" - Zhao Ang.
Counting the "dwarf king" Zhao Ang, nine of the thirteen princes and princes in the southern kingdom are more or less related to the queen mother Zhongda, either they are relatives with the same surname, or confidants for many years, or they are relatives: Zhao Rui, the king of Jianzhou, and Zhao Ang, the king of Zhuzhou, all of them have been approved by Zhongda in the past ten years, and even the current first auxiliary minister Zhong Yan and the general Zhong Ze are also her own brothers and brothers, and they were pulled up by hand.
In this way, the world of this southern country, the Zhao family only has its name but not the reality, not so much the world of the Queen Mother's Zhong family, but the southern country is already in the bag of the Dongyin Kingdom, and it is free to dispose of it.
Yangzhou Hou Zhongxuan still laughed and talked with Zhong Lixiong, the third prince of Dongyin, just waiting for Li Guinian to come up with a poem title, and then borrowed the poetry talents of the five eight sons of Yangzhou around him, and used their talents to put gold on himself and win the poetry that he had not won in the past three years.
Yangzhou Zhong Lingyuxiu has eight talents, but only five came today, it turned out that the three sons of the Su family had a strong character and refused to be used by Zhong Xuan to be included in the protégé, so overnight, more than 40 members of the Su family disappeared, killing chickens and monkeys in one move, so that the other five sons did not dare to ignore the old and young of the clan, so they could only endure humiliation and be threatened to use.
During the laughter, Li Guinian had already finished playing the opening track "Three Alleys of Plum Blossoms" on the poetry stage. This "Plum Blossom Three Alleys" is not only Li Guinian's own piano music, but also the Qin Sect's primary spiritual art, which can divide the body into three, and can be attacked and retreated, and its advanced "Plum Blossom Six Alleys" and high-level "Plum Blossom Nine Alleys" are more powerful, but the poetry club will meet friends with poetry, and Xiao Lu will point to the end, no need to fiddle with martial arts, and deviate from the purpose of the poetry club.
Looking at the three Li Guinian playing together on the poetry stage, playing with six hands in a row, everyone in the audience stood up and applauded, but Na Zhong Lixiong lay on his back and squinted, looking contemptuous and disapproving.
After composing a song, Li Guinian finally stopped selling Guan Zi and prepared to make public the two poems he had promised before.
"This little Wuji Yimei piano has been with me for many years, and it was given to me by my own teacher back then. Li Guinian said, stroking the strings with his hand, still a little reluctant in his expression, "Today's poetry meeting, I will take this piano as the first gift and give it to the little friend who won the poem." ”
When the words fell, hundreds of literati in the audience cheered and cheered one after another.
