Chapter 90: On Poetry and Slender West Lake
The scorching air seemed to dispel the sad mood brought by the sad song, and by the time they reached the pavilion, everyone's mood had recovered.
The pavilion was built in the shade of the trees, and although the heat was rolling outside, it was cool when you entered it.
The guards who followed behind stepped forward to clean it briefly, the pavilion was not dirty, and it was obvious that people often came.
"Mr. Makisai, have you had a big work coming out recently?" Shi Kefa asked Qian Qianyi.
Luo Jian and Liu Lan were not very interested in the topic between the literati, but there were no more topics with this old gentleman, so Shi Kefa had no choice but to open his mouth to break the silence.
"Hehe, Xianzhi, don't dare to be a masterpiece, there are a few small poems. Hedongjun, why don't you come and recite two articles, and ask a few people for guidance? Qian Qianyi smiled conceitedly.
Hearing this, Liu Ru looked at Qian Qianyi with reverence, and looked at Liu Lan from the corner of her eye, as if she was proud.
Liu Lan, who was born as a reporter, was so shrewd that she immediately felt it.
"Relying on the tip of the shoe and the tip of the cane, the rotten bones are always long. The heavens are full of wind and rain, and they will die until the sky! ”
"Miscellaneous and upside down, still Nandou is China. Gold and silver old knowledge Qin Huaiqi, Yunhan Xintong Bo Wangcha. The black water wandering soul cries in the meadow, and the new ghost in the white mountain cries the beard. Ten years old eyes are re-polished, and I sit and watch the finless porpoise waves. ”
Liu Ruye's voice was subdued and frustrated, expressing the charm in the poem to the fullest, and Shi Kefa applauded again and again when he heard it.
Luo Jian listened very carefully, and felt that Qian Qianyi's poems were quite literati, but he didn't know why his position was very unresolute.
"Brother Luo, can I read the sixteen-character order you made before to everyone?" Liu Lan was extremely unconvinced when she heard this, and felt that Luo Jian's limelight was overwhelmed, so she thought for a while, stood up and said.
When Luo Jian heard this, his head suddenly became bigger, and he said in his heart, when did I ever make a poem? I haven't even figured out what this sixteen-character order is.
"Oh, Xinghua, you also compose poetry? Liu Lan, hurry up and read it to us. When Shi Kefa heard this, he suddenly became energetic.
"Mountain, hurry up and whip up the saddle. Looking back, three feet from the sky. ”
"The mountains, the sea and the rivers are rolling. The galloping is urgent, and the battle of thousands of horses is still in full swing. ”
"The mountain, piercing the blue sky, is not broken. The heavens want to fall, and they depend on it. ”
Liu Lan's voice was crisp, but it sounded sonorous, and the old man's "Sixteen-Character Order" was read by her with the spirit of a golden iron horse.
When Luo Jian heard it, the sentences in it were very familiar, but he didn't know that this was the "Sixteen-Character Order", and he began to worry that Liu Lan would hang "Qinyuan Spring and Snow" on her head and move it out.
After Shi Kefa finished listening, he recited it from the beginning again, and he didn't speak, he looked at Luo Jian with deep eyes, and he didn't move for a long time.
Qian Qianyi's eyes were closed, and his head kept shaking with Liu Lan's recitation, and Liu Lan was still shaking after reading.
"Good! Wei Guogong's sixteen orders are very imposing, which shows that Wei Guogong is extremely ambitious! Qian Qianyi spoke after a while.
Liu Lan glanced at Liu Ru demonstratively, and secretly laughed in her heart, thinking that this old man's poem is good, if you read "Qinyuan Spring", I am afraid that it will not scare you to death.
Seeing that the matter had come to this point, Luo Jian had no choice but to acquiesce, if the truth was told, Liu Lan would definitely not be able to step down, thinking that he would have the opportunity to explain it to Shi Kefa alone in the future.
Seeing that the conversation of several people became a poetry meeting, Luo Jian was a little funny, but he also had some interest.
"Poetry is based on words, to be honest, what I hate the most is that poetry pretends to be disease-free, and writes poetry for the sake of writing poetry. Now that most of the country has been invaded by the Tartars, our literati should turn their pens into guns and take it as their responsibility to awaken the people, which is the style that literati should have. ”
Seeing that several people were listening carefully, Luo Jian continued:
"I also read a poem to make fun, but first of all, I didn't write this poem, and as for who wrote it, I don't have to worry about whom."
"What do you want to transport the canopy, but you don't dare to turn over and have already met. Broken hats cover up the city, and the leaky boat carries wine in the middle of the stream. Heng Mei coldly pointed at Qianfu, bowing his head and being willing to be a son of a cow. Hide in a small building and become a unity, taking care of him in winter, summer and spring and autumn. ”
With Luo Jian's deep voice, Mr. Lu Xun's "Self-Mockery" was slowly recited.
Listening to this poem, Qian Qianyi's head no longer shook, just stared at Luo Jian, and fell into deep thought.
"Good! This is the style of the literati, when I go back, please ask Mr. Mu Zhai to write by hand and hang it in the study, so I should encourage myself! Shi Kefa listened to it and his spirits lifted.
I came out in a hurry, I didn't even bring water, and I saw that I had been talking for a long time, and the weather was hot, and everyone had already dried their mouths. Luo Jian thought for a while, returned to the car and picked up a few canned fruits, and found a bag of toothpicks in the car, and then returned to the pavilion.
Eating cool canned fruit, Qian Qianyi is very comfortable, it seems that Mr. Qian pays attention to enjoying life, as long as he feels comfortable, he will show a comfortable look.
After eating canned food, Qian Qianyi remembered his mission in Yangzhou.
"Xinghua, the old man came this time to receive the emperor's order, and the emperor wants to see a few, and he is very anxious." After talking about poetry and writing, I also felt that I became cordial with this Wei Guogong, and even changed my title.
When Luo Jian heard this, he thought that this old master was really interesting, he came to Yangzhou as a messenger, but he cared about talking about poetry and Taoism, and put his errand behind.
"Hehe, several times the emperor asked me to wait to enter Beijing to face the saint, but the situation in Yangzhou and Nanjing is very critical, so it was delayed, and the current situation is acceptable, Luo Jian is about to enter Beijing to meet the emperor."
Luo Jian is a snake with a stick, and he doesn't even need to write Shi Kefa's twists and turns. All the affairs of Yangzhou have been arranged at the time of the meeting, and it is okay to leave for a few days, so I agreed immediately.
"Good! Good! Good! When is Schmidt ready to depart? By the way, Xianzhi, the emperor also wants you to go with you, and you have to be prepared. ”
Qian Qianyi didn't expect Luo Jian to agree in one bite, and he was really overjoyed. After all, the heart is still his own face, so many people in front of him did not invite this angel to enter Beijing, as soon as he came, he invited to move, and after returning to Nanjing, everyone should be impressed.
asked Shi Kefa to enter Beijing together, but Qian Qianyi proposed it to the emperor after hearing that Luo Jian and others were extremely disrespectful to Qincha, saying that if these people arrived in Nanjing, there would be similar things, and there would be a supervisor on the side, which could also avoid embarrassment, and when Ma Shiying wanted to stop it, the emperor had already responded.
Thinking that the emperor was extremely envious of the "electric lights" of several angels, he had the heart to speak, but he was afraid of being rejected, and after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that it was more important to please the emperor.
"Xinghua, I heard that there is an 'electric light' in the house that makes the night as bright as day, but the emperor often talks about it, I don't know..."
"Never! This is not possible! ”
Before Qian Qianyi finished speaking, Shi Kefa stood up and said angrily.
Knowing that this electric light can only be lit by using a generator to generate electricity, Shi Kefa has already consulted Luo Jian, of course, he also knows that computers and printers cannot be used without this generator, and when he heard that the emperor was concerned, he stopped doing it immediately.
Shi Kefa said in his heart, these things can only be used as playthings by the emperor, but they can play a big role in Yangzhou, how can they be taken to Nanjing? Even if these things are sent to the palace, I am afraid that the emperor will have the idea of fighting the warrior car again.
Thinking of the "Dao Law" mentioned in the steel mill, Shi Kefa thought about it, and it was best to simply break off this idea of yours.
"Mr. Mu Zhai, it's not that the Metropolitan Governor refuses to give these objects to the emperor, but..."
"Just how?" Qian Qianyi really asked impatiently.
"It's just that this thing needs to be used by people with strong Taoism, and if it leaves a few people in Xinghua, it will not be able to shine."
When Luo Jian and Liu Lan heard that Shi Kefa was so witful, they secretly admired it in their hearts.
When Qian Qianyi and Liu Ru heard this, they looked at Luo Jian and Liu Lan and suddenly hesitated.
"Hehe, Brother Xian is reasonable, Fei Luo Jian is stingy, that's true, Mr. Wangmu Zhai pleaded to the emperor on his behalf, Xinghua is grateful." Luo Jian said with a smile.
"Oh, I see, the old man should play the emperor truthfully, don't worry about Xinghua." Although Qian Qianyi was puzzled, he didn't say anything else.
"That's good, Mr. Mu Zhai is tired all the way, why don't you rest in Yangzhou for a few days, and then we will leave for Nanjing?"
In fact, Luo Jian really wants to go tomorrow, go early and return early, and he is still staying in Yangzhou with a solid heart, and he can deal with anything much faster.
"The old man is not tired, if Xinghua is convenient, how about starting the day after tomorrow?" Qian Qianyi wanted to leave for Nanjing tomorrow, but it was okay to play along the way, but he lived in a post house in this hot weather, so how could he stay at home comfortably.
But thinking that this angel entered Beijing, he had to arrange for someone to stand in front, otherwise he would arrive at the city gate and enter quietly, which was not a proper system, so he pushed it back for a day.
Luo Jian was overjoyed in his heart, and said, "It's convenient for us, but I'm afraid that we will be tired of Mr. Mu Zhai." ”
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Then we will make up our minds and set off the day after tomorrow, but this magic car may cross the river on its own? Qian Qianyi thought that the emperor mainly wanted to see this god car, and it was not okay if this car did not go.
"I didn't want to drive to Nanjing, but since the emperor wanted to see him, I had to take it with me. Mr. Mu Zhai was worried, and the supervisor had already arranged that he could transport him across the river by boat. ”
Shi Kefa had already considered this matter, and there was no problem at all with the larger merchant ships transporting this warrior car, and even the thick planks for getting on and off the ship had already been prepared.
Dolgon, the regent in Beijing, didn't know that Luo Jian and the others were going to Nanjing, and he was furious in the Wuying Palace at this time.
The news that the emperor of the Great Shun Kingdom, Li Zicheng, had died in Jiugong Mountain, Hubei Province, had been reported to the imperial court a month ago, but so far Prince Azig of England had not found Li Zicheng's body, which had already made Dolgon very dissatisfied.
The day before yesterday, the news that the Azig Ministry had withdrawn to Beijing added fuel to the fire and made Dolgon furious.
The ministers in the court all thought that Prince Ying had made such a great achievement, and the court civil and military forces were now going to welcome the triumphant return of the army. However, just after everyone had discussed it, they received a strict order from the regent Dorgon, forbidding anyone to go to meet Prince Ying.
Dolgon, who is in charge of the capital division, is now very clear about the general situation in the world, and if Prince Azig pursues and beats the rest of the Dashun army until it is annihilated, Dolgon will be relieved.
Now Azig actually regarded Li Zicheng's death as having completed all his strategic goals, and without reporting to the imperial court, he privately led the army back to Beijing.
The soldiers and horses left for the governor of Huguang, Melle Zhangjing Tong Dai, were extremely limited, and although they played a sign to appease the Dashun army, their strength was simply not enough to deter the Southern Ming army and the rest of the Dashun army.
What worries Dolgon the most is that if Nanming and the Dashun army reconcile and the two armies become one, the Dashun army will immediately have a source of food and grass, and its combat effectiveness will not be able to withstand the hundreds of Manchu warriors and 120,000 Han troops in Tong Dai's hands.
If Tong Dai loses Hubei, then all the achievements of Azig's combat operations some time ago will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and with such serious consequences, Azig didn't even think of it, how could it not make Dolgon angry?
As for how Azig should deal with it, after all, he is his brother, and Dolgon asked the emperor to offset his merits and demerits, and he will not be credited.
This alone did not make Dolgon, who had extreme confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Qing warriors, so uneasy, picked up a piece of paper on the table, and Dolgon looked at it again, really hated and afraid.
Staring at the paper in front of him, Dolgon felt a chill in the July weather.
Written on this piece of paper is Luo Jian's "Letter to All Chinese Compatriots", and after the open letter was sent out in Yangzhou, it spread to all directions throughout the country at an astonishing speed.
Although the government at all levels reacted very quickly and immediately began to check the open letter, the few words have been passed on by many people, and many readers have memorized and then copied them and secretly distributed them.
The "hair shaving order" that was promulgated soon after it was urgently suspended again, and the imperial court had already sent a large number of officials to various places to pacify it, but it seems that the rebellions and riots of the mob in various places did not seem to decrease, but rather intensified.
The matter of Sun Zhiqi's head being cut off in Yangzhou also spread in the court, although the Hanchen did not and did not dare to discuss it below, but recently there have been a lot fewer suggestions and suggestions to the court.
Dolgon, who was furious, hurriedly summoned his ministers to come to discuss countermeasures, and discussed for a long time, and finally it was Fan Wencheng's words that reminded Dolgon.
Fan Wencheng believes that the source of all this is in Yangzhou, and the reason why Yangzhou is so tough is also because of the so-called angels in Yangzhou. The imperial court should eliminate the military power of Yangzhou at all costs, as long as Yangzhou is destroyed, the rest of the Southern Ming puppet dynasty, the Great Shun Army and the Great Western Army will not be a problem.
During the discussion, Hong Chengchou also believed that the Qing Dynasty's policies in the ruling areas must be moderately adjusted, and that some behaviors such as land enclosure and "confiscation" of the Manchus, which forced the Han people to have no way out and could only rebel, must be curbed.
Although Hong Chengchou's words aroused the dissatisfaction of most of the Manchu ministers, Dolgon still felt that Hong Chengchou was very reasonable, and even praised that if he were not loyal to the Qing Dynasty, he would not have put forward these opinions.
As for how to prevent the Manchurians from taking excessively, we will have to discuss it in detail.
The crisis of the situation in Hubei caused by Azig's private return to the army must also be urgently remedied, otherwise once the Dashun army recovers, it will definitely cause great constraints to the Qing Dynasty's attack on Yangzhou.
After thinking about it for a long time, Dolgon thought of asking Hong Chengchou to personally go to Hubei to preside over the overall situation, adopt a combination of extermination and appeasement, and solve the rest of the Dashun army as soon as possible, so that the Qing Dynasty could raise a large army to take Yangzhou directly after the weather was cool.
Just when Luo Jian, Liu Lan and Wang Qiang set off for Nanjing in Yangzhou, Hong Chengchou also set off for Hubei.
