Chapter 123: Terrifying Power
Attending this celebration banquet were not only the generals of Wei Yanjun and the four prisoners of war Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Yu Ban, and Man Chong, but also the heads of various families in the vicinity. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When Wei Yan returned to Langling with the victorious army, the news spread throughout most of Runan County, and some families who were more domineering and did not take Wei Yan seriously in the past sent people to send grain, grass and cloth to show goodwill.
Wei Yan smiled at their things, but those who should be beaten, those who were not beaten for the time being, did not change because they gave gifts or not.
He knew very well that if he was defeated, those families would give these grains, grasses and cloths to Cao Jun.
Since those families had no faith at all and only succumbed to strong force, then Wei Yan let them succumb to their own powerful force.
Although the decision to beat them or not had been decided, the surface article still had to be done, so Wei Yan invited the heads of these families to participate in the celebration banquet.
When the heads of these families saw Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong and others, they didn't dare to question Wei Yan's military exploits, but between their words, they questioned Wei Yan's literary brilliance.
Some people suspect that "Artemisia Lixing" and "Compassion for Nong" were not written by Wei Yan, but ghostwritten by Wei Yan's subordinates, just like Taizu's "Qinyuan Spring Snow" was also suspected of being ghostwritten by the enemy.
Wei Yan wanted to make a poem on the spot in front of these family figures to show his literary brilliance and make those who doubted him dumbfounded.
He originally wanted to recite Cao Cao's "Short Song Xing", but the last sentence of Cao Cao's poem "The mountains are not tired of being high, the sea is not tired of being deep, Zhou Gong is spitting out the chest, and the world is returning to the heart" is too domineering and leaky, once Wei Yan makes this poem, everyone in the world knows his ambition, and now Cao Cao and Liu Biao, who still don't take him seriously, will regard him as a big problem, and I am afraid that even Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers are also very jealous of him.
This truth, for example, is that if you don't have the core position, you will never say "cherish the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and slightly lose the literary talent; 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. The past, the number of romantic figures, but also look at the present. ”
But which poem should be recited?
When he picked up the wine glass and wanted to recite the poem, his head suddenly became entangled, and all the poems he thought of at this moment were seven-character poems or words with allusions, all of which were not applicable.
At this time, the empty voice of the seed artifact elf suddenly sounded: "Lord, there is an ancient poem seed for the occasion, a poem with 70 words, 7000 points, may I ask if you can redeem it?" ”
Wei Yan denied: "There are 7,000 points, and I'd rather use them to increase my charm by 14 points." ”
Empty said: "What about 700 points? ”
"Deal."
An ancient poem, an anonymous poem that is said to have appeared in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty but I don't know who wrote it, appeared in Wei Yan's mind.
Wei Yan picked up his wine glass and chanted: "
Today's good banquet is difficult to show joy. The kite is exciting, and the new sound is wonderful.
Lingde sings high words, knows the music and listens to its truth. Together, the meaning is not declared.
Life is sent for a lifetime, and it is like a storm. Why don't you take a high step and ask for Lu Jin first.
Doing nothing to keep the poor and cheap, ups and downs and long hardships. ”
The first few sentences are about how the banquet is, and the last three sentences are what Wei Yan focuses on: "
Life is like a journey, only one life is like dust, and it is blown away by the wind in an instant.
Why don't you want to be the first to get to the top and enjoy the glory and prosperity first?
Don't be sad and frustrated because of poverty, and don't torment yourself because of unwillingness. ”
Wei Yan's purpose in reciting this poem is very simple, to seek talent.
He raised his wine glass and greeted everyone present: "Fang Jinrunan is in ruins, how can the talent wither, if you have any relatives and friends, you can recommend it to me, I will definitely use it, and I will definitely not let any talent waste time." ”
Although Wei Yan has shown his martial strategy, he is fighting against Cao Cao, the most powerful prince in the Central Plains, after all, these family figures are not sure whether Wei Yan can defeat Cao Cao, after all, Cao Cao occupies the entire Yanzhou and half of Yuzhou, and the territory, population, talents, and troops are far more than Wei Yan.
What Wei Yan issued was just an initiative and attitude, and he didn't expect anything from how many family figures would influence.
Now, some whispers sounded in the crowd, and those people thought that their voices were very low, but Wei Yan's ears were very good, and he could hear that they were all talking about "This poem is not good, it is far worse than the previous poems, could it be that this is Wei Yan's real level, and those poems were ghostwritten by others?" ”
Wei Yanjian raised his eyebrows and asked Kongkong: "Help me think of a poem that can be on the same level as the previous poems!" ”
Kongkong said: "Since the Lord is benevolent and righteous, then carry out the meaning of benevolence, righteousness and love for the people to the end." There is a poem here, 20 words, 2000 points, which is in the same vein as "Compassion for Nong". ”
Wei Yan finished redeeming it, and the poem entered his mind, and he was annoyed, he should have known this poem.
He walked straight away from the banquet, walked aside, walked to a maid in a rough robe, and asked, "Can you raise silkworms?" ”
The maid was taken aback, but also replied, "The folk girl raises silkworms." ”
Wei Yan said with a serious and compassionate face: "I want to make a poem for you and all the silkworm girls, called "Silkworm Women", I entered the city yesterday and returned with tears in my eyes. Those who are all over Luo Qi are not silkworm breeders. ”
The maid was a little confused at first, so she read it twice, and suddenly burst into tears.
Wei Yan also found a craftsman who made pottery and wrote a poem "The Potter" for him: "The pottery is exhausted of the soil in front of the door, and there is no tile on the house." Ten fingers do not stick to the mud, and the scales live in the building. ”
When the craftsman heard this poem, he also burst into tears.
Just now, those family figures who questioned Wei Yan's literary brilliance showed embarrassed and frightened expressions, Wei Yan's two poems are extremely simple, and the peddlers and pawns can understand them, precisely because the poor and lowly people can understand them, so that these poems have a terrible power, a power that inexplicably makes these family characters fearful, and they no longer dare to comment on Wei Yan's poems.
This is the route Wei Yan wants to take in the future, using poems like "Compassion for Nong" and "Silkworm Woman" to touch the hearts of the middle and lower class people, so that they can leave the impression in their minds that they are the lord of benevolence and righteousness, and let them no longer accept the exploitation of the family ignorantly. In fact, if it weren't for the excessive exploitation of the family, these middle and lower class people would not have been so poor, they could have become rich peasants.
Although the people who win the hearts of the people in this era often refer to the family, Wei Yan feels that the thoughts and strength of the middle and lower class people are more not to be insulted, Wei Yan uses the kind of simple and easy-to-understand but thought-provoking and touching poems, which may not be able to move and stimulate the feelings and strength of those middle and lower class people, when Wei Yan can gather the hearts of the middle and lower class people together, he completely uses the power of these grass people to overturn the rule of the family, of course, now it can only be a spark, but a spark can start a prairie fire.
Before this, there will definitely be people from the family who find Wei Yan's position a little crooked, but the literary creation of all dynasties and dynasties has a political correctness, and pity for the grass people is one of the major political correctness, which no one dares to violate, although they are not good to the people in private, Cao Cao even continued to slaughter the city, but still created "Artemisia Lixing", so no one dared to publicly criticize Wei Yan's poems.
At this time, an empty voice sounded in Wei Yan's mind: "The three poems of the lord were published, and the prestige was increased by 45 points." ”
