After a round of applause, Xuanzong got up and said with a smile: "Good song, good song, melodious and tactful, affectionate." If I heard it correctly, this song should be taken from the poem "Pu Jia" in the Book of Songs. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said: "It is indeed from the poem "Pu Jia" in the Book of Songs, which is used as a song lyrics, and the minister thinks that it should be good to be catchy with the rhythm of the music, so he changed it because of its meaning, hoping that the charm of the original poem has not been lost. ”

Xuanzong nodded slightly and said, "I think it's very good, at least I don't sound like I have changed abruptly." Supplemented by tunes, it is a match made in heaven. Aifei, how do you listen? ”

Yang Guifei thought about it lightly, looked at Wang Yuan and said: "You have a lot of ideas, I have always been thinking about how to make the tune spread among the people, not just the literati and scholars asking for rewards, Wang Yuan's new song has given me a lot of inspiration." Most of the things about music and rhythm are spring and snow, and for ordinary people, they can't understand these big songs, and they don't understand the meaning of the songs. This is actually a pity. My Tang Dynasty is prosperous, and the people can enjoy singing and dancing in addition to abundant food and clothing. This new song is catchy from the tune to the lyrics, and I believe that it will soon be spread in the streets and alleys of Minfang, restaurants and teahouses. A song that can be sung by people is a good song. If you can make this kind of change, you can say that you are the first to open the world of rhythm songs, and you may lead a trend. ”

Wang Yuan arched his hand and smiled: "The concubine Niangniang praised, I am just a rough rhythm, I am just a beginner in the matter of music and rhythm, I don't dare to lead any trend, I don't have to laugh and be generous." But the words of the concubine made me admire it very much. It's better to be happy alone than to be happy, music is a good thing, if the people can also enjoy it, wouldn't it show that my Tang Dynasty has reached a new height. Compared with other barbarian countries, when they were still working hard to be fed and clothed, the people of Datang were no longer limited to the needs of food and clothing, and they showed a prosperous atmosphere. ”

Yang Guifei nodded with a smile and said, "It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, this is exactly what I think in my heart." ”

Xuanzong stroked his beard and interjected: "Look, the two of you are opportunistic. This song is really good, and I was immersed in it when I listened to it just now. 'There is a beautiful woman, on the water side', the first thing that comes to my mind is the concubine, the beauty in Wang Yuan's song has gone through dangers but can't ask for it, what a pity, but I have a beautiful woman by my side for life, I am so lucky compared to the person in the song. ”

Xuanzong said these words very affectionately, and it seemed extremely natural. Maybe he really loves Yang Guifei, but what Wang Yuan thinks in his heart is: In a few years, this beautiful woman next to you will die under your order, and I don't know how you feel when the time comes. Suddenly thinking of Yang Guifei's death soon, Wang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little sad for Yang Guifei, the concubine in front of him was picturesque and peerless, and she was in her prime, who would have thought that this peerless beauty was dying step by step, this matter was really unacceptable.

The concubine frowned slightly, and glanced at Xuanzong with disgust, and no one noticed a trace of disgust flashing in her eyes.

"Saburo, this song seems to be a song about a man pursuing a woman, but it's not exactly that. Wouldn't it be narrow-minded for you to fully understand it as the love between men and women? Yang Guifei said in a man's voice.

Xuanzong was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "What? Does the concubine have any other insights from it? ”

Yang Guifei said: "In the eyes of the concubines, this song is not the pursuit of noble character, lofty ambitions, or love, power, money, status, and even all the desires of all people. But if you want something, this song is all related to your heart. The process of pursuing all of this is difficult and dangerous, and the concubine believes that it should be widely promoted and not necessarily confined to concreteness, otherwise this new song will lose a lot of connotation out of thin air. ”

Xuanzong laughed and said: "What Concubine Ai said is very reasonable, it seems that I am indeed narrow-minded, it seems that Concubine Ai insists on reading and learning words and meditating quietly, and the realm is already higher than me, hahaha." ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Your Majesty is not narrow-minded, what you think in your heart, you can think about people by listening to music." His Majesty is dedicated to the concubine, so he will only understand the meaning of the song in this way, which is not wrong. The words of the concubine Niangniang are indeed reasonable, and when I wrote this song, I really just used the beauty as a metaphor for all the things that are pursued. But the pursuit of things is actually not the most important, just as Pu Jiayuan poem said, the process of pursuit, the tenacity and unchanging heart is the most important, as for whether to get or not to get the second, as long as you have worked hard, persevered, in the end even if you don't get it, you will have no regrets. ”

Everyone nodded slightly, and after Wang Yuan's explanation, this new song seemed to have more meaning and seemed more lofty.

Yang Guozhong frowned and said: "Stop, Your Majesty and the noble concubine are okay, Wang Yuan, why do you have to say something that people can't understand?" It's just a song, it's good to listen to, why do you want to do so much? ”

Xuanzong laughed and said: "It's still as simple as Guozhong thinks, like him, so he won't have so many troubles." ”

Yang Guozhong smiled: "Isn't it? I don't know what you're talking about. When I listened to the music, I thought of an official lady I liked when I was in Jiannan. At the time, I thought she was thinking a lot, but she just ignored me. This song expresses my heart, and I think it is good. Like Your Majesty, I think of a woman, so am I also narrow-minded? ”

Mrs. Qin Guo smiled: "Does my cousin still have this past, why haven't I heard of it?" ”

Yang Guifei also smiled: "I haven't heard of it either." ”

Yang Guozhong said: "This matter is not a glorious thing, what is there to say." ”

Xuanzong smiled: "So, what happened between that woman and you?" ”

Yang Guozhong said: "Now it's in my house, it's my sixth concubine." That's it, I'm very annoyed when I see her now, and I don't know why. ”

Everyone laughed in amazement, and Xuanzong sighed: "After listening to your story, it's a big surprise, I really don't know what to say about you." ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Zuo Xiang, if you can't ask for it, it's the most difficult to let go, what is the meaning of asking for it?" Sure enough, I'm tired of it, isn't it? ”

Yang Guozhong said: "I don't understand, I don't understand, what else do I ask for?" How boring. ”

Xuanzong pointed at Yang Guozhong's nose and laughed, knowing that Yang Guozhong was deliberately funny and amused, but he was still amused by him.

In a relaxed atmosphere, everyone talked and laughed for a long time in the Agarwood Pavilion, and seeing the sunset sinking slightly, Wang Yuan finally got up and said goodbye.

"Your Majesty, the noble concubine, the minister will leave Beijing early tomorrow morning, and he will leave the palace."

Xuanzong sighed: "Are you leaving?" It's been a long time since I've had such an easy afternoon, and I'm glad to gossip about it. It's a pity that good times always pass quickly, which makes people reluctant to give up. ”

Wang Yuan said: "If you have a break from official business, the minister will return to Chang'an." ”

Yang Guozhong also smiled: "It's not easy for Your Majesty to see Wang Yuan?" In a few years, Wang Yuan will be transferred back to the capital, and he will be given a position in the Shangshu or the Political Affairs Hall, and soon he will be able to talk to His Majesty every day? ”

Xuanzong said with a smile: "It's also true, I'm old, and every time I see someone leaving my side, I can't help but feel sad." When Wang Zhonghei left a month ago, I was also very reluctant. I don't know what's going on? ”

"This is Your Majesty's love and righteousness, what's wrong? It would not be difficult to let Wang Yuan accompany His Majesty in Chang'an for a few days. Mrs. Qin Guo said with a smile.

Wang Yuan knew Mrs. Qin's thoughts, and she didn't keep herself to accompany Your Majesty, I was afraid it was just for herself. But I can't refute it, I can only laugh and keep silent.

Xuanzong sighed and said, "That's it, Wang Yuan has official business, and I can't pull him in Chang'an." Wang Zhonghei is going to start a war with Tubo in the next few days, and Jiannan Dao can't be done without Wang Yuan, and I can't abolish the public for personal reasons. ”

Mrs. Qin Guo showed a look of disappointment, and Xuanzong looked at Wang Yuan and said, "Go ahead, I am waiting for the good news that you have captured Bison City to contain the enemy of Tubo." By the way, I haven't read your poems for a long time, don't forget, you are my Hanlin Bachelor, and you have to write a few poems, otherwise I will give you the name of your Hanlin Bachelor. ”

Yang Guifei said with a smile: "Your Majesty ordered him to write a poem now, otherwise he has to take care of the war and so many affairs, who has the leisure to write poems?" ”

Xuanzong patted his forehead and said: "Yes, yes, yes, why did you forget to let Wang Yuan compose poems on the spot." Come and come, pen and ink waiting. Wang Yuan, leave a poem, if it is written well, let the concubine Niangniang compose a new song for you, and give you a reputation in Chang'an. ”

The king's source is as big as a drum, and he can't refuse, so he can only bite the bullet. The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were waiting to be placed on the case, and Wang Yuan picked up the pen and looked at the scenery of the twilight rising under the sunset outside the Agarwood Pavilion, and after a long time, he finally put down the pen. After brushing and brushing in one go, he bowed down and quit the pavilion, and walked away with flowers and willows.

In the pavilion, Yang Guifei stepped forward to pick up the poems written by Wang Yuan, and Xuanzong also came forward to read: "Flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog." In the middle of the night, the morning goes. How long has it been like a spring dream? It seems that there is nowhere to find the clouds. ”

Xuanzong was stunned and said: "What is this poem written, I don't seem to understand the poetry." ”

Yang Guifei said softly: "Hazy, obscure. But it's beautifully written. I always feel like this poem is written something, but it seems that nothing has been written. That's where the cleverness comes in. ”

Xuanzong smiled: "This Wang Yuan, I don't even know what kind of person he is. As soon as this poem of Xuan Xuan comes out, I am afraid that my Tang Dynasty will have more hazy poetry schools. ”

Yang Guifei said with a smile: "I like this poem very much, please Your Majesty reward it to the concubines, and the concubines should be framed and hung in the palace." ”
