Chapter 70: What the hell

The first two sentences of the poem are dotted with the title, praising Xiang Ling's good drumming, and the beautiful music often lingers in the ears.

In terms of imperial examination poems, the two lines of the poem that point out the theme at the beginning can be said to be extremely refined.

Then the imagination galloped, and the beautiful sound of Xiang Ling attracted the water god Feng Yi.

Feng Yi was so good at this wonderful sound that he couldn't help but dance on the water.

But Feng Yi didn't really understand the grief and misery hidden in Se Yin, which also made his joy and dance seem futile.

But those "Chu Ke" understand the mind of Xiang Ling.

For example, Jia Yi of the Western Han Dynasty, such as the frustrated people who were degraded to the south and passed through Xiangshui in the past dynasties.

The four rhymes in the middle, a total of eight sentences, try to describe the magical power of Xiangling Sequ.

This makes the poems avoid the rigid narration common in the imperial examination poems, and appear magnificent and vivid.

However, the best thing about this poem is still in the last two sentences: "At the end of the song, no one is seen, and the peaks on the river are green", the previous poem is closely related to the theme and repeatedly rendered, and the wonderful painting of Xiangling Drums has been vividly written.

Listening to the wonderful song, I want to see Yiren, but the poem never writes about Xiangling directly. I only hear its voice, but I don't see its people, and there is really infinite confusion in the meantime, and the words are wonderful.

And what is even more charming is that after "no one is gone", it ends with "several peaks and greens on the river". These last five characters are really a stroke of genius, which instantly dissipates a seemingly real and illusory and colorful world created by the Xiangling Drums, allowing the viewer to return to reality from the magnificent imaginary world. The location is still the Xiangjiang River, and it is still the mountains and rivers where Xiangling is located. It's just that a river is like a belt, several peaks are like dyeing, and the tranquil landscape scenery leaves people with infinite long-term nostalgia

Shangguan Wan'er read the poem very quickly and silently, but after reading the last "Xiangling Drum", she couldn't help but let out a distant sigh.

If she wasn't confined to this palace, she really wanted to go to Chudi, go to Xiangshui, and listen to the wonderful sound of Xiangling.

Those who have a talent for poetry and literature are addicted to it every time they encounter a good work, which is the nature that comes with talent, just like the chronic disease of people is difficult to change.

This is like the famous traitor Cai Jing in the late Northern Song Dynasty, no matter how many thoughts he has on weekdays, but when he encounters a good book, he can't help but indulge in it, and he is much more pure at this moment.

The reason for this situation is nothing other than Cai Jing's good calligraphy.

After fifteen years together, Wu Zetian knew Shangguan Wan'er very well, and when he heard her sigh, he knew that he had finished reading the poem, so he asked:

"How?"

After following Wu Zetian for many years, Shangguan Wan'er gradually figured out many ways to get along with this holy queen.

It is her meditation and summary that is the root of her fifteen years of grace and grace.

And among the ways she figured out how to get along, the first one was honest.

The Holy Queen is by no means a benevolent one, but she is definitely a wise one.

With such a decisive and perceptive master, if Shangguan Wan'er still dares to play tricks and deceive, she will already die and have no place to be buried, where will there be fifteen years of glory and favor.

In the past fifteen years, Shangguan Wan'er has seen too many people who tried to deceive but ended up being self-defeating and were covered with flesh and blood.

From the Queen of the Dragon to the Holy Queen, this empress can't rub a little sand in her eyes.

Before Wu Zetian was completely old, there was one thing to say was definitely the wisest way to get along with her, and Shangguan Wan'er was the person who knew the most about it.

"The courtiers have all finished reading, and with this poem alone, this Qinghe Li Xingzhou should be taken, that is. The champion 'sits all right'.

As she spoke, Shangguan Wan'er presented Li Xingzhou's poem scroll.

Outside the curtain, Li Xingzhou breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard Shangguan Wan'er's words.

Wu Zetian also has a talent for poetry, and in the later generations before Li Xingzhou's crossing, one of her poems is still widely circulated and praised.

Seeing Zhu Chengbi's thoughts, he was haggard and haggard.

If you don't believe it, you will cry and open the box to check the pomegranate skirt!

can write such a masterpiece that has been passed down for thousands of years and is still praised by future generations, Wu Zetian naturally does not lack the eye for poetry.

A moment later, Li Xingzhou, who had not been paid attention to since entering the chapel, heard a sentence coming from the curtain, "This is indeed a good poem."

It is indeed not easy to write such poems in a hurry in the scientific examination field."

Hearing this, Li Xingzhou's understanding of Wu Zetian deepened a little more in his heart. It seems that the evaluation of his "open-mindedness" in the history books is indeed not a lie.

She led the tribute students to make such a storm today, which is tantamount to sweeping Wu Zetian's face fiercely, but she can still make this fair statement in the face of this "Xiangling Drum", this atmosphere, this mind is indeed commendable.

Thinking of this, Li Xingzhou shook his head slightly. This feeling of oneself is really a bit redundant!

Speaking of which, Wu Zetian is an out-and-out enemy of killing his father to Shangguan Wan'er. After personally ordering the killing of Shangguan Yi and Shangguan Zhi, he kept Shangguan Wan'er by his side, not only by his side, but also to the point that he even arranged his food and clothing, which is simply incredible.

Not to mention the female emperor, looking at all the emperors and even the upper positions throughout the ages, how many people can do this like Wu Zetian? How many people dare to do this like Wu Zetian? Without a big mind and magnanimity, how can you do such a thing!

Not to mention the wordless monument left behind after his death!

After Tang, he scolded Wu Zetian a lot, some scolded her for being cruel and unkind, and some scolded her for being lewd, but no matter how she was scolded, no one scolded her for being small-bellied and ungenerous!

As a woman, there is such an atmosphere, just by virtue of this,、。

Wu Zetian is not only proud of most of the bearded men of her time, but also proud of the vast majority of emperors throughout the ages.

To become the only female emperor in Chinese history who has both reality and fame, Wu Zetian is not a fluke!

I heard that Wu Zetian had already finished reading the exam paper and gave such an exam language.

Li Xingzhou thought that it was naturally time to inquire about him, but he still didn't pay attention.

After Wu Zetian finished speaking, he turned around and instructed Shangguan Wan'er.

"Chuan Su taste. Allow him to ride a horse in the Imperial City, come quickly"

Behind the curtain, there was a eunuch palace maid who knelt on the ground and waited for the call, so Shangguan Wan'er pointed to a eunuch who had always been calm to do this.

Wu Zetian is still in the same style as just now, either he doesn't move, and once he starts to be a director, he will be vigorous and resolute, and there will be almost no pause in the middle.

"Imitation! Li Qiao was the first rat in the matter, and there was no virtue of the ministers, so he immediately joined the army as the Qiongzhou Sihu"

Li Xingzhou, who was unsuccessful in preparing for the Q&A in front of the king, heard this edict, and couldn't help but feel sad for Li Qiao.

Qiongzhou in the Tang Dynasty was the Hainan of later generations, but in the eyes of people in this era, the corners of the world and barren land.

At this time, the conditions of Hainan Island in the Tang Dynasty were difficult and far beyond the imagination of later generations. This situation has not fundamentally changed even in the Northern Song Dynasty, just look at Su Shi's derogatory poems.

Relegated to Hainan, it is only a Sihu whose official position is almost negligible to join the army, which is farther and more ruthless than being degraded to Lingnan!

For Li Qiao, it is really an out-and-out "far away", and whether he can return to the Central Plains and return to Luoyang in the end is purely providential, and it depends on his fate.

Li Xingzhou sighed to himself, but Wu Zeyao's edicts were one after another, and from this point, he could deeply feel the thunderbolt-like governance style of this holy queen.

Either it doesn't move, and the hidden wind and thunder are above the nine heavens.

Once it moves, it is a raging storm, giving no time to breathe.

"Envoy, ask Liang Wangwu three thoughts: The disadvantages of this science are very deep, and it is difficult for the bachelor Dongfang to escape the blame, how should you deal with Dongfang Qiu? Ordered to answer the messenger face to face, and not to delay doubts"

Hearing this last arrangement, Li Xingzhou came to his senses, it seems that the reason why Dongfang Qiu was able to suddenly become one of the examiners of this subject is rooted in Wu Sansi.

Understanding this foundation and thinking of Wu Zeyao's question, it is really meaningful!

Especially the footnote at the end, "the face-to-face answer messenger, no delay in doubt" is even more miraculous.

As soon as the envoy arrived, he asked, Wu Sansi had no time and room for deep thought in his eagerness, and no matter how he answered at this time, he could get a glimpse of his human nature.

And this question itself is not easy to answer. From Wu Sansi's point of view, no matter whether he kills or protects Dongfang Qiu, the choice between them is difficult!

When Li Xingzhou was thinking about it, Wu Zetian's last edict followed.

"Proposed, the king of Luling is self-controlled, and he gives Shu brocade 100 horses, 100,000 money, 10 Silla ginseng, and 1 female music. This edict is passed on to the six parts, so that all officials will know about it."

"Courtiers Commanded"

After Shangguan Wan'er remembered Wu Zetian's three orders one after another, she went to write the edict on the book table with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

For a moment, the whole chapel fell silent again.

So far, Li Xingzhou is still ignored.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew and blew the tent.

Li Xingzhou's eyes flickered, and he finally saw Wu Zetian's appearance clearly.

A delicate face, a slender white neck, and a well-groomed outfit.

In front of Li Xingzhou was a very dignified and noble woman.

Today's Wu Zetian is dressed very noblely, with a cloud bun hanging high on his head, and a hairpin of a pure golden phoenix inserted in the middle of the cloud bun.

The hairpin is set with a fiery ruby the size of a thumb's head, which hangs just above the center of the eyebrow.

In contrast to the hairpin with its wings spread horizontally, it is pleasing to the eye.

There are also a few steps that are inserted horizontally in the cloud bun, and the two are very coordinated, which is particularly noble.

Wearing a bright yellow embroidered dress, the phoenix embroidered with silk and gold thread on the luxurious dress is lifelike and the peony is delicate and beautiful.

There is a wide golden belt around his waist, which is indescribably luxurious.

Compared with the suspected Wushangguan Wan'er who was simply dressed on the side, I don't know how much more amazing it is.

The belt around Wu Zetian's waist completely framed her beautiful figure, and it was hard to believe that Wu Zetian, who had given birth to many children, still had such a good figure.

Li Xingzhou couldn't help but think of the documentary "Daming Palace" he watched in later generations, in which Wu Zetian was also very exposed

Especially when Li Shimin was seriously ill and stood on his side, when he seduced Li Zhi, it made people have the urge to swallow saliva, and when he watched it, Li Xingzhou felt that the actor was dressed a little too much, which made people feel weird.

But when he saw the real Wu Zetian, he was relieved all of a sudden, the Wu Zetian in front of him was slightly more exposed than the one on TV

It can only be said that the dress of the noble ladies of the Tang Dynasty is not conservative at all.
