Chapter 354: Since Ancient Times, the Red Face and the Thin Life (2/2)

On the white silk is a poem in the style of the sass. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

What is Sao Ti Poetry? This has to start with the Warring States. Before the advent of Sao style poetry, poetry was basically a four-character style, that is, a folk song in the style of "The Book of Songs-National Style". It's just that the rhythm of the four-word body is short and coarse, monotonous and rigid, and the capacity is also limited. There are many limitations when it comes to expressing complex social life...... Until the Warring States Period, the famous poet Qu Yuan was victimized by slander and was expelled and exiled, and his heart was full of grief and pain. It's just that when he wants to spray his mood with poetry, the limitations of the four-word body make him unbearable. So Qu Yuan learned the folk folk songs and slang, and did not stick to the four-word pattern, but adopted the five-, six-, and seven-word styles, but retained the modal word 'Xi' in the chant, that is, the prototype of the sao style poem. The most famous of them is "Lisao".

To the Han Dynasty, for example, Liu Bang's Great Wind Songs, all belong to the category of Sao style poems.

What Cao Peng is holding in his hand at the moment is also a poem.

Looking at the words and rhythms, it seems to be written by a woman, and it is the hand of a woman with extremely outstanding knowledge.

The use of words and sentences is excellent.

Cao Peng has also studied the rhythm of Yuefu in the past two years, and occasionally can make one or two poems of his own, but in comparison, his poems are a scum compared to the poem in his hand...... What's more, Cao Peng has a very strange feeling. The author of this poem is very familiar with the penmanship used, and it seems to be ...... Flying white body?

"It's ......"

"Do you know what Uncle Cai is?"

Cao Cao raised his head, a bitter look on his face.

Cao Peng was taken aback: You must know that Cao Cao is in a high position, and he has already reached the point where his mood is invisible. No matter what happens, he rarely shows his true expression. But Cao Cao in front of him seemed to be really emotional. Cao Peng could even see that in Cao Cao's eyes, a touch of water flashed faintly, and he was really a little surprised.

"Cai Bojiao, isn't it Mr. Cai Yong, how can I not know?"

"This poem was written by Cai Yan."

"Cai Yan?"

"It's Cai Bojiao's daughter, Zhao Ji."

Cai Yan, Cai Zhaoji...... Ah, come to think of it, isn't that Cai Wenji?

However, Cai Wenji changed her name later. She was originally called Cai Zhaoji, but later Sima usurped Wei, in order to avoid Sima Zhao's name, so she changed it to Cai Wenji. Since then, the world has always been called Cai Wenji.

Cai Wenji, whose real name is Cai Yan.

Akihime is her cousin. Cai Yong has had two daughters under his knees all his life, but his fate is completely different.

Cai Yan is the eldest daughter, and she rarely has the name of a talented woman, but she has a lot of fate.

When she was young, she was erudite and literate, good at poetry, eloquent, and fine-sounded, and once took Ban Zhao as her idol, paid attention to classics since she was a child, read scriptures and history, and continued to study Hanji with Cai Yong. It's just that she was ill-fated, she married for the first time, married Hedong Wei, and her husband Wei Zhongdao was a scholar who was famous for repairing "University". At that time, talented and beautiful, I don't know how many people I envied. It's a pity that less than a year later, Wei Zhongdao died of hemoptysis, and Cai Yan was disliked by the Wei family, thinking that Cai Yan was a 'dead husband' and an ominous person. Cai Yan is also a talented woman from a famous family, arrogant, and can stand this kind of insult. In a fit of rage, he returned home, and since then he has cut off relations with the Wei family and has never had any contact with him again.

It's just that the Wei family is jealous of Cai Yan.

Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang and enabled Cai Yong.

Soon after, Dong Zhuo was killed, Cai Yong was also killed by Wang Yun, Li Dao and Guo Yan captured Chang'an, and the war in Guanzhong continued...... At this time, Qianghu took the opportunity to send troops to loot Guanzhong. In the poem, it is recorded that 'the people of Middle-earth are fragile, and the soldiers who come are all Qianghu, and they are besieging the cities and towns, and everything they want is destroyed. The horse hangs the man's head on the side of the horse, and the horse carries the woman behind. Long drive into the desert, the loop is dangerous and obstructive'. It was in this situation that Cai Yan was taken to the Southern Xiongnu with many captive women.

Since then, the world has been in turmoil, and the war has not stopped.

Who cares about a weak woman?

And Cai Yan's sister, named Cai Zhenji, has a completely different fate from Cai Yan.

Cai Zhenji's talent is far less outstanding than Cai Yan's, and her appearance is not as glamorous as Cai Yan. But his life was peaceful, and he married a man named Yang Shu. Perhaps, many people don't know who Cai Zhenji is. But Cai Zhenji also has an amazing son who is very famous in later generations. That is the most famous general of the Western Jin Dynasty, Yanghu......

Jin Yong, the grandmaster of martial arts novels in later generations, also mentioned Yanghu in his works.

Life is not as good as it should be, and it is from the mouth of Yanghu.

Cao Peng raised his head and said softly, "This is made by Cai Yan?" ”

Cao Cao took a deep breath, nodded vigorously, and then showed a lonely look.

Cai Yong, who is also a teacher and friend with Cao Cao, has a deep friendship.

Cao Cao said: "In this expedition to Hebei, I happened to have the work of Bo Jiao back then, as well as this sad and indignant poem, which is said to have been written by Zhao Ji after being exiled to Mobei. When I saw this poem, I was a little emotional...... Back then, Bo Jiao was outstanding, and few people could compare. But now, the bones of a generation of grandmasters are gone, not to mention that even the talented girls of the year have suffered so much. ”

After Wang Yun killed Cai Yong, he abandoned Cai Yong's body in the wilderness.

Soon after, Li Dao and Guo Yan besieged Chang'an and killed countless people. Until the end, no one knew where Cai Yong's body was buried. After the death of Li Dao and Guo Yan, Cao Cao entered the main pass, but he still couldn't find where Cai Yong's body was.

He raised his head and said softly, "Ah Fu, I want to redeem Zhao Ji." ”

To be honest, Cao Peng didn't have much feelings for Cai Wenji.

Because in later generations, Cai Wenji's reputation is not very good. The root of this is that Cai Yan has married three times in his life.

The first time was Wei Zhongdao, and the second time was the Huns...... Although marrying the Huns was not Cai Yan's wish, it still became an excuse for later generations of defenders to attack. said that she was not chaste, and if she was a martyr, she should not be reluctant to live secretly. Since he was reluctant to give birth, he didn't come back, and gave birth to two sons, but when he returned to the Central Plains, he abandoned his two sons.

In short, in the eyes of the defenders, Cai Wenji has become a person who has violated immorality.

But in fact, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, people's hearts were ancient. Marriage does not need to be bound by three obedience and four virtues, and it cannot be bound to the name of the martyr. The so-called martyrdom roughly began with the rise of science in the Song and Ming dynasties...... Zhu Xi'er imposed his own concept on the ancients more than 1,000 years ago, which is simply a big fallacy.

Cao Peng hates Zhu Xi, but he can't say that he likes Cai Wenji.

Therefore, when Cao Cao said that he wanted to redeem Cai Wenji, Cao Peng himself did not react much.

If you want to redeem Cai Wenji, then go and redeem it, what do you say to me? You are empty, why should you talk to me about the ransom?

Cao Peng looked at Cao Cao suspiciously, but saw Cao Cao's eyes burning and staring at him.

He couldn't help but tremble in his heart, he had a bad premonition.

"Uncle means ......"

"Now, Yuan Shaofang is dead, and the war in Hebei is still blazing, and it is not possible to achieve full success in a short time.

I can't find a way out, so I can only find someone and go to Mobei to find Zhaoji. You also know that now Mobei Qianghu is lined up, and the Xiongnu and Xianbei are not fighting. If there is no brave man to go, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find...... Ah Fu, I want you to send an envoy to the Xiongnu on my behalf to welcome Zhaoji back to Han. There will be many difficulties in this journey, I wonder if you are willing to do it? ”

Let me go to Mobei to welcome Cai Wenji back to Han?

Although Cao Peng said that he was mentally prepared, after hearing it at first glance, he still couldn't help but feel dizzy.

Why did you let me go?

He looked at Cao Cao, but saw that Cao Cao was still staring at him, his eyes burning and shining.

In his mind, a flash of spiritual light suddenly flashed, he opened his eyes wide, looked at Cao Cao, and said softly after a while: "Uncle, do you want me to ......?"

Cao Cao nodded vigorously.

"I won't hide it from you, letting you go to Mobei is also my decision after careful consideration.

You must know that since the Han Dynasty, there has been more than harm. Before it was the Xiongnu, and then it was Xianbei...... Nowadays, there are more alien races such as Karasuma and Yakuza who have been eyeing each other.

Karasuma, in particular, had a close relationship with Yuan Shao.

When I was in Guandu before, I had seen the Karasuma Iron Cavalry, mixed with Yuan Shao's army...... Now, I will level Hebei, and Karasuma will always be my confidant. Therefore, the first thing you went to Mobei was to welcome Akihime back to Han, and the second and most important thing was to explore the Mobei form and destroy the relationship between Karasuma and the Mobei aliens. ”

Welcoming Cai Wenji is a private matter.

Destroying Karasuma and Mobei aliens is a public matter.

However, Lao Cao, you can't help but think too highly of me...... Leave such a big thing to me to do, aren't you afraid that I will do it?

"What does my uncle mean, I am the messenger?"

"Of course not, you don't have an identity here."

"No identity?"

"This time I went to Mobei, and I was making Zhou Liang, a servant of the Middle Palace."

Exercise......

Cao Peng was a little confused.

The servants of the middle palace are actually close attendants, or eunuchs and eunuchs.

How did you get a eunuch to follow me to Mobei? Everyone knows that the middle palace servant is a subordinate official of Da Changqiu, and Da Changqiu is the closest eunuch to the Han Emperor. Cao Peng is really dizzy, could it be that this is still involved in the palace?

Cao Cao didn't seem to notice Cao Peng's gaze, how resentful he was, and said to himself: "Zhou Liang, you are Your Majesty's old slave, and you followed Your Majesty when you were in Chang'an...... This time, he went to Mobei, also in the name of His Majesty, to visit the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Huchu Spring. Oh, you probably don't know much about that...... Hu Chuquan is the son of Qiangqu, and the younger brother of Yu Fuluo. This person has always admired my Han family, and before His Majesty returned to the east, Hu Chuquan also made a great ......"

Cao Peng seems to understand a little!

Emperor Han sent the middle palace servants to Mobei at this time, probably because he wanted to ......

Cao Cao used the excuse of visiting Cai Yan, so he asked himself to go with him. It seems that his responsibility is not only to find Cai Yan and destroy the relationship between the different races in Mobei, but also to have an important task, which is to monitor Zhou Liang.

The responsibility is too great!

Don't look at Cao Peng, who usually looks like he is coaxing outside, but he knows a few pounds and taels in his heart.

Cao Cao asked Cao Peng to go, which was his trust in Cao Peng.

Moreover, Cao Cao also knew that the relationship between Cao Peng and the palace was not harmonious, so there was no need to worry about Cao Peng colluding with the palace.

The most important thing is that Cao Peng is careful.

has solved many big cases, so Cao Cao also believes that Cao Peng can do it.

Others?

The goal is too obvious.

And Cao Peng has not been very publicized in the past two years, and he has lived in a simple place, so that many people have even forgotten his existence.

Cao Cao looked at Cao Peng with a smile on his face.

"Ah Fu, are you willing to go?"

You brought me from Xu Du in the middle of the fucking night, and if I don't want to, will you agree?

"Uncle, nephew would like to go...... It's just a nephew, I'm afraid it's hard to be alone. ”

"Lonely palms?"

Cao Cao smiled, "Don't worry, I will send someone to assist you." I've got a waist card here, so you can moderate the guards if you need to, and move them randomly. ”

As he spoke, Cao Cao took out a tiger head waist card carved from white jade and handed it to Cao Peng.

"Who did my uncle ask to help me?"

"Hehe, you'll know when the time comes."

"When will you go?"

"Don't worry, the mission will enter Mobei, at least after the beginning of spring next year, otherwise Mobei will be bitter and cold, and Zhou Liang's fine skin and tender meat may not be able to withstand it. I know Yueying is going to give birth, so I won't delay you from seeing my nephew come to life. ”

Luckily, you remember that my baby is about to be born!

"By the way, Yueying is all right?"

"Back to my uncle's words, everything is normal."

"When can you expect to give birth?"

"According to Mr. Xiao of the Rejuvenation Hall, it was just recently."

"Well, I conquered Hebei this time and got a 200-year-old succumber. You came over today, just to take it to make up for Yueying's body. ”

"The Mission......

"Don't ask about the mission, I'll let you know when it's time to go.

I won't summon you again until then...... You get ready, pick a few followers, and someone will contact you when the time comes. ”

"Nephew, obey!"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Cao Cao's conversation today is very strong, and he pulled Cao Peng to talk for a long time.

It wasn't until he was almost ugly that he let Cao Peng go. However, Cao Cao asked Cao Peng to return to Xudu overnight and not to stay at Changshe. It was dark and windy, and the weather was very cold. Cao Peng had no choice but to get on the horse and take Han De and rush back to Xudu overnight.

Along the way, he kept cursing in his heart.

This old Cao Ke is really choked, he mysteriously found me, and let me mysteriously rush back......

What kind of song is this?

Mobei!

Cao Peng had a headache when he thought about it.

Cai Yan is trapped in Mobei, but Mobei is so big, there are always hundreds of tribes scattered in the middle, how to find it?

Historically, from whom did Cao Cao redeem Cai Yan?

Cao Peng really couldn't think of it for a while. What's even more troublesome is that there are also royal reasons involved, which makes things more complicated. Lao Cao, it really gives me face, and if you give me such an important task, isn't he afraid that I will mess things up? Thinking of this, Cao Peng couldn't help but have a headache more and more, it was really troublesome!

Fortunately, Cao Peng does not live in Cao Mansion now and does not need to enter the city.

Xu Du is now under a night fast, and every night after the dawn, the city gates will be closed. In that case, you'll have to wait outside the city until dawn.

Cao Peng returned to the outside of the grange, and the Zhuang Ding, who had his own guard, opened the door of the village.

He came to the door of his house, and before he could get off the horse, he saw Wang Shuang rushing out of the door like a wind, and grabbed Cao Peng's mount. Wang Shuang is sixteen years old this year, perhaps because of the Xiliang people, so the bone frame is very large, much taller than normal people. When he first arrived at Cao's house, Wang Shuang looked a little thin. But in the past few years in the Cao family, Wang Shuang has been very moisturized, so this body shape has become much burder than ordinary people.

"Childe, you're back!"

"How?" Cao Peng turned over and dismounted, and asked suspiciously.

Wang Shuang's face was worried, and he pulled Cao Peng's sleeve and said, "Mrs. Shuo, Mrs. Shuo...... I'm about to give birth! ”
