Chapter 188: Given to the vicissitudes of life

For the articles invited by Tan Xiaopei, it is true that deducing a person's heart and emotions from poetry is originally one of the ways for these people to appreciate poetry. These people who are proficient in poetry and literature understand better than ordinary people, and even those who know a little bit of poetry and songs, that those poems and articles that can survive in the long river of history and can be copied and circulated are often not pieced together by those authors who are proficient in poetry with momentary wisdom and emotion, but a flash of inspiration under the impetus of strong emotions. When such a flash of the moment can interpret one's own emotions, can be related to the history and people of the time, can be connected with the vigorous background of that era, and can show the unique characteristics of a person or a type of person, then such articles and poems can become classics.

In the eyes of these great writers, these two poems by Tan Weiying have basically met the qualifications to become classics.

However, their job is not to judge the poems, but to speculate on what to figure out by tasting the poems. For these great writers, Tan Xiaopei's summoning of them to do such a thing is certainly a recognition of their ability in articles, and it is also a confidence that they will be able to keep their mouths shut about this kind of palace secrets, for these people, their ability is originally limited to articles, and they have no talents in other fields, so it is naturally impossible to serve as practical officials in the Dongping court, which emphasizes professionalism more and more, and this kind of article-related affairs is already the most intimate communication at the top of the kingdom that they can encounter. It's just that in the face of such a task, everyone has nothing else to say except crying and laughing.

In the side hall, Tan Xiaopei sat in a dark corner, so that everyone present could not easily notice that he had a very bad face. He didn't know much about poetry, and he was far less familiar with these things than he was with military books and war strategies. But when he read these things written by his daughter, looking at sentences such as "I am not melancholy is crazy", he can also imagine a little bit of his own.

A few big writers, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to tell their thoughts to His Majesty. Their inferences are similar, but there is still knowledge in who will say it and how to say it.

Finally. In a gloomy atmosphere, Yu Pingbo, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, these two poems of Her Royal Highness the Princess are masterpieces. Although we have already learned why Your Majesty has summoned us, Her Royal Highness the Princess's brilliant writing has also opened my eyes. ”

Yu Pingbo continued: "In my humble opinion, His Royal Highness is in this poem. The things to write are limited, but the core is lovesickness and leisure. 'Ling Bo is only on Hengtang Road, but he sees and Fang Chen goes' to speculate that His Royal Highness and the person he loves may just meet by chance. Perhaps, it was from a chance encounter that His Highness had a good impression of him. 'Who is the year of Jin Sehua? Yueqiao Flower Courtyard, Zhuhu Window. Only the spring knows the place. At this point, His Highness has a deep affection for his people. Especially the sentence 'who is in the prime of life', it seems that His Royal Highness has wanted to accompany him for the rest of his life. 'How much leisure is it?' A Sichuan tobacco, the city is full of wind and flocculents, and the plum is yellow when it rains! This self-question and answer is a peerless sentence. Skillfully deduct the current seasonal scenery, and a series of three metaphors are cited as a stacked answer: grass, flocculent, and rain. There are many extreme things, and there are too many to count. However, the connotations of these three are not identical. "Tobacco" is the boundless desert of "leisure"; "Wind and flocculent" is flying all over the city, which means the chaos of "leisure"; and "Plum Rain" is continuous, which means that the sorrow is long and endless. In such a vast space, in such a long time, the elusive is brought in. It is written vividly, realistically, and richly without realizing that it is abstract. At the same time, these three sentences are both metaphors. It's a scene again, and it's lyrical. The inside and the outside are the same, and there is no trace. With this sentence alone, His Highness can be among the people of the world. However, sorrow is sorrow, and there is no sign of worry and despair in this poem. Linking the three sentences of sorrow with the sentence 'Colored pen new title broken intestine sentence', it seems that His Royal Highness is quite complacent about being able to come up with such a metaphor, which is very ridiculous. It is conceivable that when writing this poem, His Highness's state of mind was quite relaxed. Indeed, words are the voice of the heart, and poetry is a portrayal of a person's mood at that time. When literati discuss poetry and articles, they often have the saying that 'it is convenient to work when the vicissitudes of life are given'. Your Highness can make such a ...... Such exquisite poems, although they must be the emperor's family lineage, so that His Royal Highness has outstanding literary brilliance, but it is also touched by feelings and lovesickness. Judging from the difference in the mood of the two poems, it can be seen that His Royal Highness's mood has changed over a period of time, as seen by Wei Chen. This poem was written much earlier than the poem. ”

"However......" Yu Pingbo's tone changed sharply: "His Highness's poem is a little ...... It's a little puzzling. ”

Yu Pingbo turned his head to Bai Xianyong, and Bai Xianyong also continued very cooperatively: "The meaning of this poem is very shallow. And the jaw couplet uses two allusions, but it almost makes people feel that there are no traces of useful allusions, and it really reaches the level of driving the classics as if they have been out of the place. It should be written by His Royal Highness to review his own feelings and coincidences. The first sentence uses the Wushan goddess dreaming of meeting the king of Chu, and the next sentence uses Yuefu's "Divine String Song Qingxi Sister-in-law": "The sister-in-law lives and is alone." It means that reminiscing about the past, although in love is also like the witch goddess, she has her own fantasies and pursuits, but in the end it is just a dream; Until now, just like Qingxi's sister-in-law, she is alone and has no trust for life. In particular, although this couplet is very generalized, it is not abstract, because the myths and legends contained in each of these two allusions can elicit rich associations. ”

As soon as Bai Xianyong said the poem, his eyes lit up, as if he had forgotten the reason for being summoned at all, and he didn't wake up until someone on the side cleared his throat. He lowered his head and said, "The more puzzling thing is the neck coupling. The combination of the imagery of 'Lingzhi' and 'Storm' seems to imply that it has been suppressed and tortured by force, but it has not been helped. It could have moisturized the laurel leaves but it was not, and I saw the ruthlessness of the 'moon dew'. The words are tactful, but the meaning is extremely poignant. …… But as far as Wei Chen knows, whether it is the status of His Royal Highness or the many guards around him, it is absolutely impossible. It seems that it is more appropriate to understand this couplet as emotional turmoil and helplessness. ”

Bai Xianyong said cautiously: "And the last couplet, 'Straight lovesickness is useless, and melancholy is madness' seems to say that even if lovesickness is completely useless, you might as well hold infatuation and melancholy for life." In the case of near-disillusionment, he still persists in the pursuit, and the unforgettable memory of "Acacia" can be imagined. ”

Silence pervaded the temple. For a long time, no one dared to make a sound, even in the shadows, Tan Xiaopei's dark and gloomy face was a little too obvious. Both of these works were found in Tan Weiying's closet, written on a piece of white paper, carefully folded and placed in a silk handkerchief. If it weren't for the fact that those people from the Intelligence Bureau were really careful, they wouldn't have been able to find it at all. But it can also be seen from this that Tan Weiying cherishes these two poems that can be called masterpieces of the moment, and understands his own emotions exposed by the two poems.

"Your Majesty, there is still a small question, Weichen wants to add." Jin Xingyao said softly. Among these people, Jin Xingyao's status is somewhat special. Originally, Jin Xingyao was the woman that Tan Xiaopei's eldest brother fancied, although she was born in a small background, she was talented, and she was supposed to get married after a battle, but before marriage, Jin Xingyao and Tan Xiaopei's eldest brother had already performed the Zhou Gong ceremony, and even lived together for a short time. Unexpectedly, in that battle, Tan Xiaopei's eldest brother could not come back. After Tan Xiaopei ascended the throne, he invited Jin Xingyao to come to the palace as a female official. But in Tan Xiaopei's eyes, Jin Xingyao is at least one-third of the identity of the sister-in-law, and many other courtiers dare not say it, it doesn't matter if she says it.

Jin Xingyao said seriously: "The words 'original' and 'original' in the jaw couplet are quite meaningful. It seems to imply that there was not only a pursuit, but also a brief encounter. ”

"What?!" Tan Xiaopei was furious. If this is really the case, then it is not a simple palace secret but a palace scandal. Tan Xiaopei paced back and forth in the side hall, and after half a sound, he said heavily: "...... So, I know. I don't need to remind you to keep your mouth shut. If there is even the slightest rumor that spreads, you know it in your own hearts, so don't blame me for not giving you a chance to explain and clarify when the time comes. ”

With that, Tan Xiaopei left the side hall and didn't look back. Everyone in the temple looked at each other. It is true that no one dares to go out and talk nonsense about such a thing, but for these courtiers, it does not seem to be a pleasant thing to be threatened like this by His Majesty the Lord of the Kingdom once. On the contrary, Jin Xingyao was not worried at all, she had been living in the palace and was more detached, since Her Majesty was gone, she would just say goodbye to you like that, and then go back to her residence, as if the content that made Tan Xiaopei angry the most had nothing to do with her at all.

Tan Xiaopei returned to the imperial study, but he calmed down a little. He thought about the whole thing, and felt more and more that his guess was correct. And after thinking about it for a long time, among the people he suspected, he further singled out a few targets. The final conclusion seems to be on the horizon.
