Chapter 219: The guest is as good as the host
Yelu Chongyuan is the same age as Cao Fu, and he is also dressed as a Han person.
If you only look at the appearance, it is no different from the children of rich and noble families.
Fan Yu had already known before that Xiao Yunjin, the Empress Dowager of the Liao State, conspired to abolish the Liao Emperor, but unfortunately he was put under house arrest by the Liao Emperor first.
The key to this matter is this only thirteen-year-old Yelu Chongyuan. Yelu Chongyuan learned that his mother wanted to abolish his eldest son Yelu Zongzhen and make himself emperor, so he found his brother Yelu Zongzhen and told him the truth.
It is precisely because of this that his mother Xiao Yunjin will be placed under house arrest, and he will also be named the emperor's younger brother by his brother Yelu Zongzhen.
Fan Yu saw this Yelu Chongyuan, who was only thirteen years old, with a hint of innocence on his face. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Yelu Chongyuan will pay more attention to brotherhood and choose to denounce his mother. If this person is an adult, I don't know if he will regret his choice.
If the Empress Dowager Xiao Yunjin succeeds, Yelu Zongzhen's throne will be abolished, and Yelu Chongyuan will be established as the emperor. Although Xiao Yunjin wants to listen to the government without authority, as long as he lives long enough, he will still be the emperor after all.
Regardless of what he thought in his heart, Fan Yu didn't show it on his face, but greeted these Liao figures.
These people are not necessarily the most powerful in the Liao State, but they must be the most talented.
The Song and Liao countries intersected, and since the conclusion of the alliance between the Song and Liao, they have shifted from martial arts to civil fighting.
All the times the Song envoys came to the Liao State, they would fight poetry with the courtiers on the Liao side, without one exception.
Liu Liufu is also Hanlin, and he is also the Liao envoy who returned north with Fan Yu and them this time, so he is naturally also here.
He was familiar with both sides, so he took the initiative to greet him: "Master Lang, you are the longest today, how about you arrange it?" ”
Lang Sixiao didn't shirk either, so he bowed his hand to everyone and said, "Since that's the case, then I'm not welcome." Everyone please take a seat, today is not only a reception banquet to welcome the Song envoy, but also a literary meeting between our generation and Brother Fan. I hope that Brother Fan can make another masterpiece, thinking that it is a grand event in the guest building. And I can't wait, as a participant, I am also honored. ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Fan Yu hurriedly humbly said: "With you here this time, how can I be the leader." ”
At this moment, Yelu Chongyuan suddenly asked Lang Sixiao in a low voice: "Teacher, what does this coquettish mean?" ”
This imperial brother was not very proficient in Sinology, so he encountered a new word and asked for advice.
"Coquettishness means elegance and elegance." Lang Sixiao replied with a smile.
But he didn't want Yelu Chongyuan to suddenly say to Fan Yu: "Brother Fan, don't worry, you have a masterpiece, and my Liao country is not an uncivilized place." If it's coquettish, let's be coquettish together. ”
The corners of Fan Yu's eyes twitched, this imperial brother was a little interesting, and he dared to say anything. Cao Fu, who was not far behind him, almost didn't hold his strength, so he had to turn his back.
"Your Highness is very funny, what you said is right, then everyone will be coquettish together." Fan Yu snorted, as long as he was not embarrassed, it must be someone else who was embarrassed.
"Please take a seat, don't let the good times go." Lang Sixiao's face was also red, he was the emperor, but now he failed to teach the emperor's younger brother well, which is a bit embarrassing.
Liu Liufu also hurriedly rescued the scene and said: "Looking from afar by the railing here, I can see Nanjing, Daliao, and Nanjing, which makes people feel open-minded." Even though it's winter, thinking about it can make you think about it. ”
Although Cao Fu came with him, he only came as a guard. and Yang Wenguang and Di Qing, guarding not far behind Fan Yu.
Duan Shaolian just sat silently next to Fan Yu, but he didn't speak much. Only when others asked, he answered a few words with them. Judging by what he meant, he didn't plan to take the lead.
After everyone sat down, Lang Sixiao raised his lamp to Fan Yu and Duan Shaolian and said: "I am a guest from afar, an envoy, and a person of literary style." The old man was kind to all his colleagues, so he toasted the two of them with a glass of wine. It not only warms the body and mind, but also catches the wind and washes the dust, and the drink wins! ”
Everyone raised their lamps and drank them, and they lit up each other's lamps to show their pride.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the scene became lively.
Fan Yu had just drunk a glass of wine with Wang Yingxiu, and he saw Na Yelu Chongyuan holding it up to him.
"An Lehou, before you came to Nanjing, I heard people sing your farewell song." Yelu Chongyuan said with envy: "The farewell song is really good, and the words are elegant and appropriate." Although I am still young, when I think of the scene in the song, I feel the pain of parting. I am also learning Chinese poetry and Chinese lyrics, and I hope that one day, I can make such excellent poems and songs like An Lehou. ”
"Your Highness, a masterpiece is not something that can be made if you want to." Fan Yu was afraid that he would make a fool of himself for a while, so he began to make a foreshadowing in advance, "You have to read more books to have some understanding, so that you can get good sentences." Everyone here is full of poetry and books, and they can't guarantee that they will make good sentences. Moreover, although I made a farewell song when I left Bianliang, I may not be able to do poetry well now. ”
Yelu Chongyuan was most convinced by his teacher, Master Lang Sixiao, so he turned his head and asked, "Teacher, is what An Lehou said true?" ”
Lang Sixiao nodded and said, "Your Highness, An Lehou didn't lie to you. The way of poetry lies in the feeling of the scene. Just like An Lehou, when he parted with his friends in Bianliang, he felt the pain of parting, so he could make a farewell song. If An Lehou and that friend don't have a good relationship, they must not be able to do it. Now that An Lehou has come to Nanjing, his mood is different. Whether he can leave a good sentence depends on whether everyone is enthusiastic or not. ”
When he said this, he immediately stirred up the atmosphere of the banquet, and everyone immediately agreed.
Wang Yingxiu first raised his lamp to Duan Shaolian and said, "I'll make an introduction, but I don't dare to ask An Lehou for advice, but I can ask Duan Zhengyi for advice first." Can? ”
Duan Shaolian's heart was blocked for a while, if you don't dare to ask for advice, you don't dare to ask for advice, but compare me to me. Although he thought this in his heart, it also aroused his arrogance.
Wang Hanlin didn't dare to ask for advice, and he still had some experience in the next poem. You can set the rules, and I'll do it. Duan Shaolian also raised the wine cup and drank it all.
"Good! You're welcome. Wang Yingxiu smiled freely, gave Duan Shaolian a thumbs up and said, "Although it is sunny today, it has not snowed in the past few days. However, Duan Zheng and I made a poem on the theme of snow, how about you please comment on it? If you lose, you will be punished with a glass of wine. ”
Duan Shaolian smiled and nodded: "Wang Hanlin's proposal is not bad, the topic of sunny days and snow is also interesting." Guests are as they please, you invite first. ”
In fact, everyone can see that Wang Yingxiu's theme of snow has taken advantage. Liao is more northern, and snow scenes are more common. And with snow as the theme, I'm afraid that Wang Yingxiu already has a draft.
"With my rubble and the jade of the king, then I will be ugly." Wang Yingxiu coughed slightly, and then looked out of the building, "The sky is clear for a hundred miles, and there is cooking smoke in thousands of homes." Stay until Flying Shatter Qiong, and look back at the change of world. ”
