Chapter 17: Spring and Snow in Qinyuan

Then, the young maid spoke: "The second round of the first poetry and song fu, word fu!" ”

This time, it was Jiangnan Gongsheng Li Jun who took the lead in responding and made a song:

The Wanderer's Song

The red dust and clouds in the world have been floating for decades,

Suddenly looking back, it has been a hundred years;

The broken bridge has not been broken for more than 1,000 years,

Life is too short to do and cherish.

Everyone drank 'good', Xu Xiake once again gave a positive comment, and Li Jun was inexplicably excited about this!

All young talents are eager to try, show their abilities, show their talents, and hope to get Xu Xiake's comments, so that they can become famous all over the world.

At the invitation of Xu Xiake, Wu Sangui recited a poem "Lijiang River Boat Travel", and the audience erupted in thunderous applause.

When everyone showed their talents one by one, Xu Xiake gave comments and comments, but everyone who got Xu Xiake's comments was overjoyed and overjoyed.

Sitting in the box of King Xinwang again, Xu Xiake smiled and said: "Childe is talented, it is a pity that I haven't been able to see Childe compose poems before, can I ask Childe to express his feelings?" ”

King Xin shook his head helplessly and sighed, Xu Xiake sincerely invited, King Xin was not interested, thought for a long time, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembered a respected great man in the dream, made a poem "Qinyuan Spring β€’ Snow", which reflected the current state of mind of King Xin!

So, King Shin stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and recited aloud:

Qinyuan Spring Snow

There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists.

The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting.

Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, only reckless;

Up and down the river, suddenly lost and surging.

Mountain dance silver snake, the original Chi wax elephant, want to be higher than the heavenly public test.

It must be a sunny day, and look at the red dress, which is extraordinarily enchanting.

There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists.

Regret the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, slightly lose the literary style;

Tang Zong and Song Zu are slightly less coquettish.

A generation of Tianjiao, Genghis Khan, only knows how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle.

In the past, a few romantic characters, but also look at ~ today. ”

After King Xin finished reciting in one breath, his heart was surging and his blood was surging!

The entire Tianxiang Pavilion was silent, and people seemed to have forgotten everything, staring in the direction of King Shin in complete amazement, and stood up involuntarily stupidly.

For a long timeβ€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’

Tianxiang Pavilion broke out into thunderous applause again, lasting for a long time, and the heart was surging, and everyone's eyes burst out with a strong color of reverence, and they were shocked by such a blood-boiling beautiful poem.

Xu Xiake and the beautiful woman behind the gauze curtain were completely shocked by King Xin's song "Qinyuan Spring and Snow", which was majestic and kingly, as if they were immersive.

Xu Xiake got up and entered the curtain, leaned slightly, walked out again, and arched his hand: "Today's 'Poetry and Song' competition is over, and after discussion, the organizers unanimously determined that the first place in the first 'Poetry and Song' competition is!" ”

Everyone was silent and waited and waited, although they had a faint premonition of the result, they still hoped that Xu Xiake would say it.

Xu Xiake stretched out his palm, pointed in the direction of King Xin's box, and said loudly: "Master Zhu! ”

Wow! Everyone was in an uproar and applauded one after another, 'Zhu Gongzi won the first place!' It turned out to be Zhu Gongzi, I don't know which prince and nobleman he was the son of.

Xu Xiake continued to announce: "The second place is Wu Sangui, the prince of Pingxi Wangfu!" ”

The uproar is back!

"The third place is Jiangnan Gongsheng Li Jun!"

Finally, as the organizer, the young maid announced a great news, but all in the 'poetry and song' contest won the praise of Mr. Xu Xiake's young talents, can be free of charge in Tianxiang Pavilion for three days, during this period, will be favored by many ladies in the curtain, they will choose their favorite people among the young talents, Tianxiang Pavilion will then transfer the relevant tokens to their favorite talents, with the tokens can go to the woman's house to propose.

After the announcement of the organizer's young maid, all the young talents of Tianxiang Pavilion cheered and were inexplicably happy!

At this time, the maid in the gauze curtain quietly came to the box where King Xin was, first said ten thousand blessings, and whispered: "The slave maid has seen the two sons, and my husband and lady invite the sons to dinner!" ”

Li Changcai looked at King Xin with a smile, King Xin nodded slightly, Li Changcai nodded and said, "Thank you Mr. Miss for your hospitality, we are waiting here!" ”

In the meantime, everyone dispersed, and the two of them slowly came to the opposite side, and the maid had been waiting in front of the door, and when she saw the two of them coming, she hurriedly smiled and saluted, lifted the white gauze curtain with both hands, and quietly shouted: "Zhu Gongzi has arrived!" ”

King Xin nodded, stepped into the curtain, Li Changcai waited outside the room with his hands, he came today as King Xin's entourage.

Seeing King Xin come in, Xu Xiake got up and greeted him with a smile, and said politely: "Hahaβ€’β€’β€’β€’Zhu Gongzi, please!" ”

"I've seen sir!" King Xin returned the salute very politely, and admired the famous scholar in front of him.

The guest and host sat down, the maid served fragrant tea, Xu Xiake stroked his long beard, and said with a smile: "The son is young and promising, and he is knowledgeable, so he must be from a famous family?" ”

"Sir, praise falsely! In front of Mr., how dare you say 'profound', I like to read sages since I was a child, and I occasionally have a heart" King Xin humbly bowed his hand and continued:

"Mr. Jiuwen's name, he is familiar with astronomy and geography, and is familiar with mountains and rivers!"

"Oh! Childe is not only talented, but also quick-thinking! Hahaβ€’β€’β€’" Xu Xiake deliberately tried to test the origin of King Xin, not wanting to be cleverly avoided by him, so he appreciated it very much in his heart, and replied:

"Childe praises! Xu is just a wanderer, he likes to travel to famous mountains and rivers, and he is more familiar with the terrain and landforms of various places during the period, not to mention that he is familiar with astronomy and geography! ”

"I have read Mr.'s 'Travelogue' in the next place, and Mr. has a deep insight into the flooding of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and I admire it!"

"Oh!" Xu Xiake carefully looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes were full of incredulity, and he asked, "Why is the son so concerned about the flooding of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River?" ”

"The floods of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River have caused the people on both sides of the river to be miserable and displaced, and the people of the country are all concerned.

Xu Xiake nodded slightly, stared at the young man, and asked: "Compared with the rise and fall of the world, what does the son think?" ”

"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and the people in the world should be in the same boat!" King Xin said solemnly.

"Good! What a 'rise and fall of a country, the husband is responsible!' Today, if you are not the emperor of the dynasty, I am afraid that only His Royal Highness King Xin can say such bold words! Xu Xiake laughed heartily.

When King Xin heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Wisdom! ”

Seeing that King Xin admitted, Xu Xiake got up and saluted: "Xu Xiake greets His Royal Highness King Xin!" ”

"Sir, hurry up and excuse me!" King Shin hurriedly got up! "I'll discuss with my husband, regardless of the court!"

"What a 'regardless of the court' haha! His Royal Highness is also a virtuous king! Xu Xiake laughed heartily and was very pleased.

After the two exchanged polite words, they had no more life with each other, and they talked happily with each other; Xu Xiake said solemnly: "The trouble of the Yangtze River is to dredge the waterway, and the grass and trees on both sides of the bank are piled up all year round, and once the flood season comes, it seriously obstructs the flow of water; Secondly, the inlet channel needs to be widened and strengthened to alleviate the amount of water flowing into the Yangtze River by tributaries! King Shin nodded frequently!

"The Yellow River is also dredging, but this dredging is not the other dredging, the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, carries sediment from the Loess Plateau, accumulates along the way, causing the riverbed to be higher than the coast, therefore, if the Yellow River is treated, it is necessary to dredge the flow rate of water, avoid retarding the amount of water, and at the same time, strengthen the embankment in the low-lying land, and strengthen the early warning of river engineering on both banks, so that it can be effective!"

After listening carefully to Xu Xiake's explanation, King Xin sighed, got up and respectfully bowed to Xu Xiake, and said: "Mr. is a great favor to the people of the world, Xiao Wang is here to thank Mr!" ”

Xu Xiake got up with a smile and saluted back: "How dare you!" His Royal Highness worries about the country and the people, it is the luck of the country and the blessing of the people, and Xu should thank His Royal Highness! ”

Xu Xiake said, turned around and looked at the inner wing, and said loudly: "Xin'er, don't come out quickly to meet His Royal Highness King Xin!" ”

After that, I saw a bead curtain in the middle, and a beautiful girl in green came out from inside, with long hair tied around her waist, her hair in a bun hanging down on both shoulders, her face like a peach blossom, a melon seed face, willow eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, a thin nose, a small cherry mouth, and a slightly upturned lips.

With the support of the maid, he came to King Xin, his beautiful eyes were shy, and he bowed down and said: "Yuan Wenxin, a maiden, meet His Royal Highness King Xin!" ”

King Shin was startled by the sudden beautiful girl, and when he saw this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Miss is exempt!" It's Xiao Wang who is abrupt! ”

Xu Xiake looked at King Xin with a smile on her face, and then at Yuan Wenxin, and nodded slightly.

Yuan Wenxin seemed to have not heard of it, and continued: "Please ask Your Highness to be the master of the people's daughter!" ”

The king of faith was dumbfounded! Fu looked at Xu Xiake again, his eyes were full of questions?

Seeing this, Xu Xiake said solemnly: "Does Your Highness know who Xin'er is?" ”

King Xin shook his head when he heard this!

Xu Xiake sighed and said, "Brother Xin'er is Yuan Chonghuan, the imperial history of Liaodong!" ”

"Oh!" King Xin was surprised, and then looked at Yuan Wenxin and said, "Miss Yuan, get up and speak!" ”

Yuan Wenxin got up at this time, her eyes were slightly red, and there seemed to be tears gushing out of her beautiful eyes, she raised her head slightly, opened her mouth slightly, and quietly stood behind Xu Xiake.

King Xin sat down, looked up at Yuan Wenxin slightly, and said silently: "I already know about General Yuan, and it needs to be verified!" ”

Xu Xiake said gloomily: "Your Highness, forgive Xu Moujie Buyi for not saying anything, he has been friends with General Yuan for several years, and he knows him very well, and he is definitely not a traitor to seek glory!" ”

King Xin nodded, thought for a long time and said: "It's not a secret, I have submitted the case of the loss of Jinzhou to the emperor for a clear investigation, and the case will be transferred to Dali Temple for retrial, and it will soon come out!" ”

"Oh!" Xu Xiake's face was overjoyed, and then he bowed to King Xin! "Your Highness Xie, in this way, General Yuan is expected to avenge Zhaoxue!"

After Yuan Wenxin heard what King Xin said, he hurried to King Xin, knelt on his knees and cried: "The people's daughter thanked His Highness for his great kindness, his brother was wronged, and Xin'er is willing to repay His Highness's great kindness for a slave and a maid!" ”

"Miss Yuan, please get up!" King Xin raised his hand and said with a solemn face: "In the case of General Yuan, although this king is a jury, General Yuan must prove his innocence, otherwise, this king will not be able to do anything!" ”

Yuan Wenxin was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered the maid to take out a piece of letterhead, present it to King Xin with both hands, and whispered: "Your Highness, there is ironclad evidence of my brother's injustice, please check it out!" ”

King Xin took the letterhead and opened it to look at it, but if he didn't look at it, he suddenly said angrily: "It's a loss of conscience, and his heart can be punished!" Then he looked at Yuan Wenxin and said: "With this ironclad evidence, this king promises to handle this case impartially and return General Yuan's innocence!" ”

"Your Highness!" Yuan Wenxin knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying excitedly, and her delicate body trembled.

Xu Xiake laughed, very happy, and said: "Since ancient times, heroes have been young people, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, the country has such a virtuous king His Royal Highness, which is really the blessing of the community and the blessing of the people!" ”

During the banquet, Yuan Wenxin's beautiful eyes kept looking at King Xin, bowing his head and smiling from time to time, with shame in his eyebrows and peach blossoms.
