Chapter 471: Lashou Ninghou Goes into the Water (Fifth Update)
Shen Xi quoted Tang Yin's "Song of Wine to the Moon" made when he was not able to meet and love the landscape, but made some changes.
The last two sentences in the original poem are "I don't board the ship of the Son of Heaven, and I don't go to sleep in Chang'an, a thatched house outside the city of Gusu, and ten thousand trees and plum blossoms are full of moon."
Gusu City and Peach Blossom are only minor changes, but Tang Yin pursues a pastoral life that is beyond the world, and Shen Xi is now an official in the court, and it is a little inappropriate to say "not to board the ship of the Son of Heaven" and "not to sleep in Chang'an", so it was changed to "Guanghan Palace" and "Qiongyu Palace", giving people a feeling of being overwhelmed by the cold in a high place, which means not seeking a position of extreme people.
Tang Yin's poem is popular, but it is far from being as widely circulated as "Peach Blossom Nunnery Poems", mainly because the whole poem is mostly written in colloquial words, which has the characteristics of folk songs, and belongs to the "elegant and vulgar appreciation", which makes later poetry critics feel vulgar.
When Shen Xi was chanting poetry, the guests present were listening carefully and figuring out.
Although this poem is a bit vulgar, it is at least more literary than the limerick poems made by the people at the banquet, and if it is about artistic conception, it is far inferior to the poems made by the Hanlin Academy before.
But if this poem is chanted from the mouth of a middle-aged scribe in his forties who has experienced vicissitudes, it may be convincing, with Shen Xi's age, how much can his life experience have? Making such a poem will only make people think, you are too precocious, right?
Shen Xi recited the entire poem in full view of everyone, and when he stopped, the guests, including Zhang Heling, did not immediately evaluate the poems he had written before.
The whole poem is very long, and the artistic conception in it is far-reaching, even if you are conceited and have learned others, you have to precipitate a little before you can make a judgment.
"Clumsy, ugly."
Shen Xi arched his hand and sat down again.
Others can't feel how good this poem is, but Hanlin officials deal with articles and poems every day, but they can distinguish the slightest bit. At this time, the most surprised in the eyes of the courtyard were Shen Xi, the colleagues of the Hanlin Academy, and even Zhu Xizhou glanced at Shen Xi with extremely shocked eyes, obviously not expecting Shen Xi to have such exquisite poetic attainments.
"Good!"
Zhang Heling took the lead in making an evaluation, clapping his hands and standing up, "Shen Xiu's compilation of this poem is really a masterpiece. β
Zhang Heling doesn't have much knowledge, and he can't say a deeper comment, only saying "excellent work", which can be regarded as a compliment to Shen Xi, with his affirmation, even if others think this poem is vulgar, they will follow suit.
Shen Xi is basically sure that Zhang Heling's previous toasting poem should have been composed by someone else.
The Xibin seats of the Hou Mansion stood up first, followed by Zhang Heling's admiration, and then the guests in the hall applauded, almost praising Shen Xi's poem as gorgeous as a flower.
Wang Jiusi was slightly disdainful of Shen Xi's poems, he boasted that his talent was the best among the people present, and he got up unwillingly and said: "Shen Xiu wrote this poem, it seems that he has the intention of not being in the court...... Don't you want to resign and go into hiding, and be a loose person at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain? β
This is very polite, even if he thinks that Shen Xi's poetry is ugly, slang, and vulgar, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, but after all, Zhang Heling has affirmed it, and it is inappropriate for him to sing the opposite, but if you start from the artistic conception of the poem itself, and take Shen Xi's "ambition is not in the court" as the starting point, then others will not be able to find fault.
Even Zhang Heling sighed lightly when he heard it: "Yes, Shen Xiuzhu is the champion of the new department, and he has just entered the officialdom, but he has such a noble style...... It's a little inappropriate. β
Shen Xi's face was calm, but his words were sonorous and powerful: "As a minister of the Son of Heaven, he should share his worries for the community, but there is still a yearning for paradise in his heart, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there can be a peach blossom source everywhere in the world." β
"That's a good point."
Shen Xi's sycophant was basically in the right place, and Zhang Heling praised it again after listening to it.
As long as the people live and work in peace and contentment, there can be a peach blossom source everywhere in the world, and it can also be said to be under the peach blossom mountain in the court...... This not only patted the emperor's sycophants, but also showed Shen Xi's lofty ambition to serve the imperial court, which was many times better than ordinary poetry and articles.
Zhang Heling admired Shen Xi's talent at this time, and secretly thought: "If I take him under the tent and let him give advice to me, as long as I can please my brother-in-law, it will be easy to become an official and a knight." β
Thinking of this, Zhang Heling beckoned: "Come on, give Shen Xiu a thin gift." β
Soon a woman came out of the main hall, but it was the dancer who led the dance just now, about twenty-eight years old, hired Tingyu Li, and looked like a flower and moon. At this time, she was holding a wooden box in her hand that was a few points larger than the previous gift, and Lianbu moved lightly in front of Shen Xi and handed it respectfully, which made everyone present, including all the Hanlin officials, jealous.
Because everyone can see that this gift is much "heavier" than Zhang Heling's gift to Zhong Hanlin just now, this beautiful dancing girl seems to have a hard time holding it, and it may be gold, silver and jewelry.
"Gift from Xie Shou Ninghou."
In any case, Shen Xi should still be thankful, even though he himself didn't want to accept this gift.
Zhang Heling raised his glass again: "Shen Xiu's words are exactly the expectations of Benhou, if you all of you are dedicated to assisting the king, then the Ming Dynasty will be thousands of generations, we are very lucky, and the people are very lucky." This glass of wine respects His Majesty's wisdom and martial arts, and respects the Ming Dynasty for eternity. β
If Shen Xi's fart just now was not traced, Zhang Heling's fart was too obvious, and it was easy to attract disgust.
However, sycophancy is indispensable, especially in this kind of banquet where courtiers gather, without saying a few words of praise and praise, it seems that something is missing, but it makes the officials present uncomfortable.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The subsequent toasting poems basically did not have the literary brilliance and artistic conception of Shen Xi, and even Wang Jiusi, who was not convinced by Shen Xi, did not get Zhang Heling's praise for the toasting poems.
At the end of the banquet, Zhang Heling originally planned to send off the guests in person, but he thought that he would leave the Hanlin official to ask some things in the inner courtyard, so he asked the people in the house to send the guests on his behalf.
Zhang Heling invited Zhu Xizhou, Shen Xi and other Hanlin officials to enter the main hall of the inner courtyard, and asked people to prepare chairs, and after all the Hanlin officials were seated, Zhang Heling sat on the main seat and greeted: "The previous banquet, I don't know if you adults can have a good time?" If not, make up for it later, and now first serve tribute tea to relieve hangover. β
Zhang Heling gave an order, and a graceful maid came up and poured a cup of steaming fragrant tea in front of everyone, and when the bowl lid was opened, there was a fragrance in the nose.
Although Shen Xi deliberately spilled a lot of wine at the previous banquet, he still drank a lot after a banquet, his dizziness and dizziness were slightly relieved after drinking tea, but at this time he just wanted to find a place to sleep well.
But I heard Zhang Heling say: "You are in Hanyuan, you are a well-educated person, Ben Hou has some incomprehensible things to ask what is going on, I don't know if you can solve the confusion in Ben Hou's heart?" β
Zhu Xizhou and other Hanlin are considered "old fritters" who have been immersed in officialdom for many years, and before they came, they guessed that the invitation of the Marquis of Shouning to the banquet was related to the banquet in the coming day, so needless to say, what Zhang Heling wanted to ask was the question that Emperor Hongzhi would ask at the banquet tomorrow.
Zhu Xizhou saluted on behalf of Zhonghanlin: "Master Hou, but it doesn't hurt to say. β
Zhang Heling smiled and nodded: "Ben Hou recently flipped through the history books and classics, and he was a little puzzled about the events from the thirty-second year of Hongwu to Yongle. β
Zhu Xizhou, Wang Zhan, Wang Jiusi and others all looked a little weird.
This question has been raised for the second time recently, and the last time it was Xie Qian who went to the Hanlin Academy, saying that Emperor Hongzhi asked about this historical allusion and asked the Hanlin to write a note.
Some Hanlin didn't know much about this history, and even if he did, he only knew a little bit about it, and he didn't dare to describe it in detail, but he affirmed the legitimacy of Emperor Taizong's throne and set a tone of "Taizu inherited Taizong", which made real history cultivators feel shameless.
But this is the reality, because Zhu Yunwen's lineage has been severed, and the throne is now deeply rooted in Zhu Di's lineage, nearly a hundred years have passed, and no one cares about what happened at the beginning, but the historian with a conscience will record the old things of the year and seal them for future history.
Now is not a good time to propose, because before this, Emperor Hongzhi did not reveal the tone of Emperor Jianwen's reversal of the case.
Zhang Heling was originally full of expectations, but he could see that Zhong Hanlin had embarrassed expressions on his faces, and couldn't help frowning: "Everyone, don't you know this history?" β
The staff of the Shouning Marquis Mansion, who was sitting behind the curtain and listening, hurriedly came out, came to Zhang Heling and saluted respectfully, and whispered in his ear.
Zhang Heling was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "If it is inconvenient for you adults to talk about it in detail, you might as well write it down with paper and pen." β
Zhu Xizhou and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this, they didn't say it, they used it instead, and it was anonymous, so they basically didn't have to bear too much responsibility.
Zhang Heling immediately asked the servants of the Hou Mansion to remove the coffee table and bring the desk, and the Hanlin who came to the banquet was counted as one, and each person had a desk in front of him, with pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and red sleeves to add incense, but it was the dancer who came out to dance before, and her demeanor was thousands of ways to study ink for the Hanlin.
Hanlin officials are all upright gentlemen, even if they see women on weekdays, they keep a certain distance, and now a few cups of yellow soup are in the stomach, the beauty is beside them, and the faint body fragrance can't help but make people feel beautiful, even Wang Jiusi is a person with "noble ambitions" who can't help but blush.
On the contrary, Shen Xi's face was the most natural.
Hanlin held the pen, but they still didn't want to tell the truth, even if they didn't know much, they didn't want to explain honestly, because the things involved behind it were too big, and the idea that Zhu Xizhou and others had was how to fool the emperor at the beginning, and now they are copying it and continuing to fool Shou Ninghou. What is written is still a plausible clichΓ©.
This is the first time for the Hanlin to be so perfunctory on the issue of history, but who calls this history "the unspeakable royal secret"?
Only Shen Xi's side has no scruples.
He was forced by Xie Qian to write to the emperor about restoring the era name for Emperor Jianwen, which shows that Emperor Hongzhi really moved his mind, if Emperor Hongzhi asked the ministers about this matter at the feast on Nikkei, the ministers either avoided it, or bluntly said "Do not disobey the ancestral teachings", then wouldn't he, the person who wrote the book, be condemned?
Now telling Zhang Heling about the matter and the situation is a good opportunity for Shen Xi to pull this uncle off the horse.
Zhang Heling is a relative of the emperor in the end, he has many fans in the Zhan Mansion and the Sixth Ministry, and Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is still his brother-in-law, as long as he can explain the old things of Jianwen in detail, those wall grasses swaying in the wind will follow.
Shen Xi wrote: "In April of the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Prince Yiwen was born, and in September, Taizu established Prince Yiwen's second son as the emperor's grandson......"
Aren't you Zhang Heling going to be the echo worm of Emperor Hongzhi, I'll write as much detail as possible to help you with this.
