Chapter Twenty-Four: Suddenly Like a Spring Breeze in the Night

On the first day, the city was full of joy, the sound of crackling firecrackers dispelled the clouds of war hanging over the hanging gourd, the outside of the city was empty, and the besieging army had retreated outside the long wall, and the bamboo was also burned to make a sound, so as to celebrate the festival.

Firecrackers in this era, of course, were put on a fire to burn, and the bamboo that was baked by the fire burst and made a crackling sound, and as for firecrackers made of gunpowder, they were not yet popular.

Yuan Day is the most important festival of the year, that is, the Lunar New Year known in later generations, so even if the two armies broke out a fierce offensive and defensive battle around the Hanging Gourd, when it came to Yuan Day, they tacitly stopped using troops and let the soldiers have a good year.

The enemy army besieged the city, and there were many casualties among the soldiers and civilians in the city for several months, and now the enemy army outside the city is still surrounded like an iron barrel, but even so, the soldiers and civilians of the hanging gourd must have fun and have a decent day.

The strict implementation of food rationing has relaxed restrictions today, and live chickens, live ducks, live pigs, and sheep have been disemboweled by the cooks, made into a plate of delicacies, and placed on a line of flowing water tables.

The whole army and the common people are feasting on the flowing water banquet, and the commander, Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wenwen, holding the precious wine, wanders around the flowing water banquet and frequently greets the soldiers.

Wine, naturally is turbid low-alcohol wine, Yuwenwen's amount of wine is very good, only low-alcohol wine is not a problem, but it can't resist the large amount, from morning to afternoon, Yuwenwen drank and vomited I don't know how many times.

Transferred back to the Governor's Office, and started a new round of entertainment, Yuwen Wen and the civil and military officials drank to each other, drunk and drunk, pulling the haggard bone to 'dance with a sword', and only stopped under the persuasion of everyone.

Gu Yi has been conscientious and conscientious during this period, conscientiously fulfilling the important task of defending the city, he is a civil official, and he does not need to go into battle to kill the enemy, but he is responsible for deploying military supplies, organizing the people to repair bunkers, working day and night, and people are much haggard after several months.

The ability of the King of Xiyang, he saw it, and admired it in his heart, so the King of Xiyang lost his temper after drinking, and wanted to dance with him, Gu Yi didn't think it was humiliating, after all, the string in people's hearts had collapsed for too long, and they had to be loosened.

Seeing that King Xiyang had a tendency to get drunk and crazy, Li Yunxin, who was also responsible for the long history, hurriedly asked someone to help the other party down, and two attendants stepped forward to help, but they couldn't resist King Xiyang.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu, the lieutenant of the palace, hurriedly brought the pipa, and when Yuwen Wen got the pipa, he used the skills he learned from Zheng Yi and improvised the difficult skill of rebounding the pipa.

Pipa, is a very common musical instrument in this era, but also one of the common musical instruments in the army, is not exclusive to the charming little lady, the army soldiers play the pipa and draw the sword to dance is a very common scene, Gu Yi saw that the king of Xiyang was happy, then pulled out the saber, with the pipa music dance.

Yuwenwen played a song, another song, several generals drew their swords and danced in turn, although there is no kabuki to help the fun, but such a typical military song and dance scene still makes the scene very lively.

Yuwenwen, who played the pipa frantically, had a lot less alcohol, but he missed his relatives every festival, thinking about Yu Chi Chifan and Yuwen Weicheng, who were close at hand but couldn't meet, and Yang Lihua, Xiao Jiuniang and other children who were far away in Xiyang, Huangzhou, and couldn't help but feel sad from their hearts.

He was trapped in the hanging gourd, the news was almost cut off, the situation in the world was unknown, and he could only look forward to the arrival of reinforcements day after day.

Negative emotions did not occupy Yuwenwen's heart for too long, now that the soldiers are united, the people are using their lives, and the hanging city can be held for a long time, Yuwenwen has absolute confidence in this, so playing the pipa, his mood will soon improve.

Plagiarism... The heart of borrowing is flooding again, it is a good time to chant poetry at the Yuan Day banquet, Yu Wenwen borrowed the strength of wine, 'borrowing' Wang Anshi's "Yuan Ri".

Of course, he still has a sense of shame, and he didn't regard it as his own original, saying that he went out one time and saw a poem written by an anonymous person on the shadow wall of a temple, and now it is just the right time.

"One year old in the sound of firecrackers."

"The spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu."

"Thousands of households."

"Always exchange the new peach for the old one."

Most of the poems of this era are five-word poems, seven-word poems are not absent, but there are few excellent works, Yuwenwen's "Yuan Ri" is not only suitable for the situation, but also very neat in battle, and immediately won full applause.

At this time, among the feasts, there were almost no literary scholars, and Wang Fei was the only one, who listened to Yu Wenwen's "Yuan Ri" changed by Anonymous, twisted his beard and nodded frequently.

Yuwen Wenqi people, he sometimes can't see through, this one doesn't seem to be very knowledgeable, his literary literacy is not very good, and his calligraphy is not very good, of course, as a clan vassal king, this is not a big deal.

Wang Fei knew that Yu Wenwen rarely wrote poems, and he couldn't understand literature on weekdays, but as long as he wrote a poem, the level of that poem was not low, and the strange thing was that every time Yu Wenwen said that he was passing by somewhere, he remembered the good sentences written by Anonymous when he saw them.

Once it can be said to be a coincidence, if it is said to be a coincidence, is it too coincidental?

Doubts, in Wang Fei's heart just swept away, now here, only he can be called a man of literature, although Gu Yi is a civil official, but not good at literature, Wang Fei saw that the king of Xiyang was still in danger of drunkenness, so he stepped forward.

Picking up the pipa, Wang Gong began to play and sing popular music in Chang'an, which was not a measure of losing his identity, but a very common act of fun.

He was also young and frivolous, and he was also happy to enmity and hatred, pushing cups and changing lamps with the little lady in the music workshop, and naturally remembered the popular music in Chang'an.

Most of the people here have lived in Chang'an, and they will inevitably go to the music shop to have fun, so they applaud and welcome Wang Fei's proposal.

The little ladies of the music workshop play and sing songs to delight the benefactors, so that the other party can give generously, so the songs to be played and sung should not be of low standard, and the lyrics are generally quoted from famous poems.

The lyrics of the song that Wang Jun played and sang at this time are the poems of Bao Zhao, a famous artist of Liu and Song Dynasty.

Bao Zhao, who once served as a former soldier in the army, so he was known as 'Bao Joined the Army', in the Liu Song Dynasty and Yuanjia years, he was an extremely famous poet and one of the "three masters of Yuanjia".

Several of Bao Zhao's famous poems, which were composed as pipa songs, were sung in Chang'an Music Fang for many years, and they lasted for a long time.

There are two poems in "Dai Huainan Wang", one of which is:

King Huainan, good longevity, taking food and refining qi and reading immortal scriptures.

The glass is used as a plate, and the golden jade dagger is combined with the divine pill.

Heshen Dan, play the purple room, the purple room and the colorful girl make Mingjue, and the Luan song and phoenix dance break the king's intestines.

Wang Fei played and sang with the pipa, winning the applause of the whole house, and then the second part of "Acting for the King of Huainan":

Zhucheng has nine gates and nine boudoirs, and is willing to chase the bright moon into the king's arms.

Into the arms of the king, the knot admires, the resentment of the king and the hatred of the king.

Build the city, think about the sword, think about the profit, and do not abandon each other with prosperity and decline.

These two poems are related to love poems, so they are especially loved by the little ladies of the music square after composing, and they have been sung in Chang'an music square since the time of Wei Fen, and they have been one of the most popular famous songs among the guests.

At this moment, whether it is Li Yunxin, who is quite old, Yang Su, who is over forty years old, and Yin Shishi, who is not more than 20 years old, all applaud this familiar song, these two songs reminded them of their years in Chang'an.

There is also a story.

In the past, Emperor Yuan Xiu of Wei could not bear the oppression of the powerful minister Gao Huan, and fled west into Guanzhong, Empress Yuan Xiu was Gao Huan's daughter, of course she would not take it away, he took it with him, his concubine, cousin Yuan Mingyue.

Yuan Xiu and Yuan Mingyue are openly concubines, but the forbidden love of this cousin and sister is not tolerated by the world.

When Yuan Xiu arrived in Chang'an, a song soon spread in Chang'an Music Fang, the lyrics of which were Bao Shenjun's "Dai Huainan Wang" (the second), the first two sentences were used by the singers to satirize Emperor Wei's forbidden love.

"Zhucheng has nine gates and nine boudoirs, and I am willing to enter the arms of the king by chasing the bright moon."

When Yu Wenwen heard these two sentences, his mood was instantly depressed, first thinking of the peerless beauty Yuan Mingyue, and then thinking of another stunning, sister-in-law Yu Chi Mingyue.

Of course, he didn't have any thoughts about his sister-in-law at this time, but thought of Mingyue's sister, his princess Wei Chi Chifan, and thought of Shizi Yuwen Weicheng.

His wife and son were taken hostage by his mother's family, I don't know when we will be able to meet again, I can't see each other for the rest of my life, so it doesn't feel like it, Yuwenwen couldn't help but be silent, in the eyes of others, but he thought that this wine had woken up.

Of course, Wang Fei didn't know that the name of Xiyang Wang's sister-in-law actually had the word Mingyue in her name, after all, the woman's name is generally not known to outsiders, although Yu Chi Mingyue had been canonized as the queen and announced to the world before, but in public, everyone also knew the name of "Queen Yu Chi's".

Wang Jun didn't know, and the vast majority of people present didn't know either, so no one knew that this "Dai Huainan King" (the second) actually touched the heart of King Xiyang.

Zhang Yu, the lieutenant of the palace, knew the name of the master's mother and sister, when he was in Anlu, Wei Chi Mingyue often went to the mansion to play with Yuwen Eying, and he was naughty.

But Zhang Yu's literary skills are not good, and he didn't know that those two lines of poetry would trigger Lord Lang's heart, but he looked at his words and felt that Lang was going crazy drunk, so in order to avoid the scene getting out of control, he hurriedly made a face to the left and right, and prepared to set up Lord Lang to 'change clothes'.

Thinking about it, with Yu Wenwen's skills, it is not easy to subdue once the drunken madness is initiated, Zhang Yu and the others are ready to be beaten, and at this moment, suddenly a soldier ran outside the hall and brought a shocking news.

"General! Checkmate! The observation post just reported that in the far suburbs south of the city, our reinforcements have arrived!! ”

"Reinforcements? The enemy's more than 100,000 troops will let reinforcements approach? ”

"General! The first to come was the rangers, thinking that the main force was still behind and was approaching. ”

"Could it be reinforcements from the enemy in disguise?"

"No, the Ranger casts the Sky Monkey continuously, and the movement can't be wrong!"

This news was like a boulder entering the Ping Lake, stirring up huge waves, and the officials and generals present were overjoyed when they heard the words, and Yu Wenwen, who was in a depressed mood, was also refreshed when he heard the words.

Reinforcements? Reinforcements!

Reinforcements are coming, I want to save my wife and son!

Yu Wenwen's mood improved instantly, and a poem couldn't help but appear in his mind: Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloomed.
