Volume 1 Wind and Rain into Lin'an Chapter 67 High Theory
Fang Zi'an suddenly seemed to understand something from Shi Hao's words. The current emperor Zhao Gou cannot be said to be an emperor with great talents, but he should not be a fool. Otherwise, in that chaotic situation, how could we win the hearts of the people and complete the feat of establishing the Southern Song Dynasty and holding the Jianghuai border. These things are easy to say, but after the fall of Bianliang and the capture of the second emperor of Huiqin, the Great Song Dynasty is actually on the verge of extinction and can complete all this, how can it be said that he is a confused faint monarch? If it is said that he killed Yue Fei is a faint monarch, it is too much to take for granted. He has his own plans, he has his own calculations. Don't such people know Qin Hui's reputation among the people? Don't you know that Qin Hui is a person who is spurned by the people of the world? But he still wants to use him again, why is that?
Back to the pot!
Fang Zi'an thought of this word all of a sudden. Yes, definitely. The emperor just wants Qin Hui to take the blame, let him be in a high position, let him face all the scolding, let Qin Hui become the target in front of him, and resist all the dissatisfaction and anger for him. Because he knew that killing Yue Fei was his intention, and if the people knew that he wanted to kill Yue Fei, the people would hate and scold him. Therefore, finding someone to come out and scold yourself is the most suitable thing to do.
If this is really the case, Zhao Gou is an extremely scheming and intelligent emperor, and it is definitely not the label that later generations gave him a face-painted 'dumb king, runaway emperor'. He knows how to protect himself, knows how to control the situation, and is a smart man with extremely clever means and a very meticulous mind.
Shi Hao didn't ask any more questions, because this one question alone was enough. He was originally to further test whether this young man named Fang Zi'an had real talent and learning, and whether he was the person they needed. Fang Zi'an's previous answer has already explained all this.
Next, the two talked about some light topics, and Shi Hao also gave some suggestions for the upcoming autumn season. Shi Hao actually entered the office very late, not because he didn't have this talent, but because he never participated in the imperial examination. And the first time he participated in the imperial examination, he ranked first in the high school Jinshi A list, which shows that he is very familiar with the routine of entering the imperial examination. Being able to get his advice is a worthwhile trip for Fang Zi'an.
The lunch was very sumptuous, and the protagonist of the banquet was actually Zhang Ruomei, so Miss Shi Ningyue was also at the banquet. The atmosphere of this meal was still harmonious, and Miss Ning Yue seemed to have a good impression of Fang Zi'an because of Zhang Ruomei, and because she had read Fang Zi'an's lyrics, she obviously had some admiration for him. During the dinner, he suddenly asked about the creation of poetry, and his attitude was extremely sincere. Fang Zi'an had no choice but to search his intestines and scrape his stomach to answer. Fortunately, I had read some poems and remembered some articles about poetry appreciation, so I picked up a sentence and copied a sentence from the west, hoping to get by.
Miss Ning Yue is not only beautiful, but also very well-cultivated. What Fang Zi'an said was actually a bit incompatible, messy. Shi Hao frowned a little when he listened to it, but Shi Ningyue kept smiling and listened very seriously. Fang Zi'an thought that he had been fooled, until Miss Ning Yue asked the following question.
"Fang Gongzi, I read Yi'an Jushi's "Theory of Words", and Li Yi'an made a lot of needles on the words of his predecessors. She thinks that Liu Sanchang's words are too elegant and too kitsch, and that Zhang Xian's words and Song Qi's words are too much pursuit of witty words, resulting in insufficient words. It is even said that Yan Shu, Ouyang Xiu, and Su Dongpo are words and rhythms that are not in harmony with everyone's words. In Fang Gongzi's opinion, do you think what he said is right? ”
Fang Zi'an's brain exploded, he had thought about such a question there, this girl who loves to write words asked such a question, isn't it embarrassing for herself? Looking at the beautiful face of the smiling girl in front of him, Fang Zi'an felt for a moment that this little girl seemed to be deliberately embarrassing herself, in order to take revenge for her previous nonsense. Suddenly, I felt that the two pear vortices at the corners of her mouth were not so cute.
"That's the question...... I can't say it in a few words. I think I'll talk to the young lady another day. Today...... That's it. Fang Zi'an intends to use prevarication to end this topic completely.
"yes, yes, let's talk about it another day." Shi Hao saw the clue and didn't want to embarrass Fang Zi'an, so he helped to relieve the siege.
"Childe is not in a hurry. Why not say it now? Daddy, don't you want to listen to Fang Gongzi's high arguments? Shi Ningyue did not relent.
Fang Zi'an finally determined that this was Shi Ningyue's deliberate behavior, and her previous mess obviously made her very dissatisfied, so I am afraid that she deliberately wanted to embarrass herself.
"Ning Yue, don't be ignorant of etiquette. Fang Gongzi has said that it will be another day, why do you have to be strong? Shi Hao frowned.
Fang Zi'an hurriedly said: "No, no, in fact, there is nothing difficult for strong people, Miss Ning Yue really wants to listen to the opinions below, and it doesn't hurt to say it below." ”
"That's great, listen to the high-level arguments." Shi Ningyue smiled brightly, holding her cheeks as if she wanted to watch a good show.
"Little girl, if you don't take some dry goods, you really can't be stumped by you." Fang Zi thought viciously in Anxin.
"That's right. In fact, in my opinion, poetry and articles are actually similar to piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, music, and dance in some aspects, that is, they are all things that can resonate with people's feelings. Therefore, it can be described as the wisdom of the benevolent and the wise. Li Yi'an is a master of poetry, her lyrics are greatly admired by Xia, and her high opinions are not commented on. Personally, I think that there is no fixed framework for this kind of thing that allows us to resonate and feel from the heart, such as poetry, dance, music, and so on. What can resonate with you, make you moved, and produce a sense of empathy is good words, good poems, and good articles. You don't have to have a fixed frame or format. For example, Liu Yong's words, in the eyes of some people, may be too vulgar and too mediocre. But in the eyes of others, it is very suitable for their mood, writing their joys and sorrows, making them like and sing. But is that good or bad? You can't deprive others of the right to feel good just because some people think it's bad, right? Everyone's reasonable. Literary and artistic works should pay attention to the fact that a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so many thinkers and columnists were born, and so many sparks were stirred. So, Miss Ning Yue, you're actually asking this question biasedly. Li Yi'an just said some of his opinions, but not to deny others, you asked like Li Yi'an, self-respecting and arrogant. ”
Fang Zi'an carried out a very shameless smear attack, giving her a big hat that misinterpreted Li Qingzhao. Since you have raised a problem that is difficult for me to solve, and I can't solve the problem, I will solve you as a person.
"I didn't! Daddy, look at Fang Gongzi. Isn't he a bully? No matter how well Shi Ningyue cultivated, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and shouted. Originally, I was listening to what Fang Zi'an said with some truth, but suddenly a big black hat flew in, and he became the one who deliberately smeared Li Yi'an.
Shi Hao said in a deep voice: "What Zi'an said is very reasonable, a hundred schools of thought contend, a hundred flowers bloom, this is a good thing." What the? Bullying? Why didn't Daddy hear it? ”
Shi Ningyue knocked on the table angrily and said to Fang Zi'an: "Then according to what you say, what is the difference between superior and inferior words?" There's always someone who likes it. As long as someone likes it, it's not a bad word, and as long as someone doesn't like it, it can't be called a peerless good word, right? That being the case, why is it that not everyone is Li Yi'an, and everyone is Su Dongpo? Isn't there all the people in the world who can write lyrics Li Yi'an and Su Dongpo? ”
Fang Zi'an was a little surprised, Shi Ningyue was indeed very smart, and in a moment, she seized the loophole in her logic to attack herself, and the momentum was quite menacing.
"Miss Ning Yue misunderstood me. As the saying goes, there is no first article, everyone has their own set of standards for reading poetry and articles, and appreciating dance music. Personally, there really is no distinction between high and low poetry. However, if the individual lives in the human world after all, there must be overall constraints and standards. To put it bluntly, just like the laws of the imperial court, whether you want to or not, you must obey them, because the law is a binding force that ensures that everyone can feel safe, and that the court and society can be stable, and it is a universal principle that must be observed. As far as poetry is concerned, you can have unique tastes, but most people will have an overall moral and aesthetic outlook, which is the standard of the whole. This standard is the aesthetic standard of the vast majority of people, and it represents the aesthetics of the entire Great Song Dynasty for poetry as a whole. You can keep your standards that are different, but you can't reverse the standards of the vast majority of people, you can be different, but you have to respect the standards of the vast majority of people. ”
Fang Zi'an's words were actually very tongue-twisting, but Shi Hao and Shi Ningyue's father and daughter both understood. But Zhang Ruomei was confused and didn't know what to do. This has something to do with her experience, of course.
Shi Hao nodded slightly, he felt more and more that Fang Zi'an was not simple. It seems that Fang Zi'an is talking about the criteria for evaluating the quality of poetry, but in fact, Fang Zi'an is talking about the standards for formulating social morality and laws, not just the way of poetry. This involves the overall governance structure of society, the maintenance of the moral system, and the relationship between the individual and the public moral system, etc., which are some important issues of principle in governing the country, which cannot be easily thought about and understood by ordinary people.
Shi Ningyue is actually involved in such a topic for the first time, which is particularly novel.
"Then ...... Fang Gongzi, everyone said that good poetry must be good? Isn't there a possibility of high and low? Is most people's standard necessarily right? Isn't there any spring and snow outside the lower riba people? Shi Ningyue asked softly.
Fang Zi'an was also surprised by Shi Ningyue's quick thinking, Shi Ningyue was one year younger than Zhang Ruomei, and should only be seventeen years old this year. A seventeen-year-old girl can ask these questions, and whether they make sense or not, the mere fact that they can ask them is surprising enough. It seems that this Miss Ning Yue is not as simple and cute as her appearance, she is quite connotative.
"Zi'an, I'm right, you're being targeted by my family's Ning Yue, I'm afraid you have some troubles. I sometimes have a lot of questions she asks. When it came to debate, I was no match for her, so I had to flee. Zi'an, you don't have to answer her, it's endless, let's still drink. Come on, let's have a drink. Shi Hao raised his glass and said with a smile.
Shi Ningyue said angrily: "Dad! ”
