Chapter 402: Why pretend to be mature
In a box in the Fan Tower, the prince and Xie Shence pulled up a corner of the curtain and watched the singing and dancing in the hall, as well as the full hall of scholars and literati. Β₯Β°F Top Novel,
"I'm still curious, what is Fengzhi's Qinyuan Spring."
Xie Shence smiled and didn't answer. He also knew that it was not only the prince who was curious, but also the scholars in Suzhou City.
At the poetry meeting that day, the details of Xie Shence being bullied by everyone while pretending to be a pig were mentioned countless times, so people paid special attention to the unfinished words while changing their views on Xie Shence.
It is the people of Suzhou City, while slandering Xie Shence for not being kind, they will also pretend to comment on the two sentences of "majestic", "meteorological", and "the heroic and inhumane Jiangnan County".
And in everyone's discussions, they all want to see the second half of the film that Rong will have time to write in the future. Broken things are always dissatisfying, especially beautiful things. The first half of the poem has already passed through the prince's palace, so people are waiting for the second half of the poem.
Of course, not everyone thinks it is good. However, even those who think the poem is bad are paying attention. After all, it's just a thorn, and you have to know what is written, isn't it?
At this time, the prince asked, and Xie Shence naturally knew that it was some old literati and old words who came to ask the prince.
These people did not ask Xie Shence directly because they were afraid or because they were disdainful, but since the prince had put on a virtuous posture in Suzhou City, it was easy to speak.
Xie Shence didn't say anything immediately, but in his heart, although he greatly admired this poem and admired the scholarly spirit in it, he thought that Xia Yan was easy to cause some misunderstandings.
After all, the person opposite was the crown prince, and the Marquis of Wanhu did not rule out that some people would take the opportunity to provoke him and Sima Bi again.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, and not being able to respond to the prince's request, Xie Shence finally said it.
Tapping his fingers on the table, Xie Shence's eyes narrowed slightly, and said:
"Bringing a hundred couples to travel,
Reminiscing about the past, the years are thick.
Just a young student,
Bloom of youth
bookish temperament,
Scolding Fang Xuan.
Pointing out the country,
exalting words,
The dung was ten thousand households.
Do you remember,
to hit the water in the middle stream,
Wave Containment Flying Boat? β
Xie Shence's tone was gentle, not excited, but the more the prince listened, the brighter his eyes became.
"Good words, good words!"
The prince said it twice, and then excitedly slammed the table and spilled the wine all over the floor.
"Just a young student, in his prime, scholarly spirit, scolding Fang Yu in the middle of the stream to hit the water, the waves curb the flying boat and the phoenix have a great yearning, I should sigh."
Xie Shence said: "Young and frivolous, just to give new words, Your Highness, it shouldn't be true." β
The prince smiled: "I have read many of your poems, including the worries of literati, the sorrows of longing for women, the generosity of soldiers, and the grand ambitions of generals, and this poem is the most inspiring I have ever heard." This palace respects you. β
Thank God for saying that it is just plagiarizing the achievements of others, and I really don't deserve to be respected, but if you respect this word, then I might as well continue.
The crown prince drank with Xie Shence, and then said: "However, there is something unknown in this palace. β
"Your Highness, please speak."
"What do you mean by the dung of the ten thousand households?"
Sure enough, it still came
Xie Shence smiled: "It's just that wealth is too simple, and I don't know how to cherish it, so I think fame and fortune are easy to earn." However, to this day, recalling the envoy Xianbei, Wuxi Cai's case, and then with the general in Hebei Province to resist the enemy, the battle of Murong City and then Taihang Mountain to kill thieves, Shanxi Province in the river beach to face the big white fish cavalry is not simple, among which several times almost died alive, it is really thrilling. So on that day, I was forced by everyone to compose a song, thinking that Jiangnan County was too peaceful and couldn't be peaceful, so I felt it. β
"How do you feel?"
"How can peace come casually? There are not many people who don't know their names who are bleeding and crying, there are no people who really give up their small families for everyone who are working hard, and there are no people who are drunk with money. I was in it, I saw a lot of people and things, and I didn't feel that I had given much, so I wanted many people to know that some people should be remembered. This is also the starting point of the young man. It's just that the power of language is still very weak at this time. β
The prince was silent, and then said, "So you are promoting some people and things? β
Xie Shence said: "It's just a gesture. β
The prince was solemn and said: "This palace knew something in Hebei Province before, so this palace respects you again." β
Thank you Shence for raising a glass to greet him.
The two drank the wine in their glasses, and the prince said, "However, you still haven't answered the question of this palace. β
Xie Shence smiled: "I don't mean anything. I just felt that what I didn't pay attention to at that time should be cherished now. Ten thousand households have to bear the responsibility of ten thousand households. I don't have that honor, but I hope some people will. β
The prince was thoughtful, so he didn't ask any more.
However, now it seems that the scholars and literati of Suzhou City, this palace thinks that they have not done it. Or they dare to point out the country and can inspire words, but they can't do it. As for the middle stream of water, how many people can do it? Verbally, compared to actually doing it, it is much worse after all. β
Xie Shence nodded and shook his head, and said, "There have always been literati and ink writers, in fact, most of them are still ambitious. It's just that they lack a chance to show their talents. However, as His Highness said, there are many people who are actually not very capable themselves. will welcome the horse, can write a few poems, or can be a leader in green words, but after all, he can't benefit the people for one side of the shepherd. Such a person, even if he can leave a strong mark in literary history, is harmful to the people and to the emperor and the queen of heaven after all. β
However, even then, faith in them cannot be abandoned. Because whether it is His Majesty now or in the future, he can only rely on them to govern the country. β
The prince was puzzled: "Why does this palace always feel that Feng Zhi is prejudiced against literati?" β
Thank you for not being the first person to feel this way.
"What I value is some scholars who dare to face great difficulties, who are really worried about the country and the people, and who are for the country and the people, such as Sima Qian of the Han Dynasty, Qu Tanmo of Chu, Sima University of the Great Jin Dynasty, and even some masters of the Lu family in the Southern Song Dynasty. It's not that they're famous, it's because they did do a lot of things and left behind a lot of precious things. β
Xie Shence looked at the drunken and crazy people in the hall outside the window, at the few people who were chanting poems loudly, at the people who were tapping on the plates and the sound of the piano, at the few people who were dancing with long sleeves, and then said: "It's not that there is much difference between a scholar and a literati, it's just that I'm used to saying that." I think it's better to let some people walk around, see more, think more, and do more than to drink and prostitute here. β
The prince sighed and said, "The ancients said, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, and honestly don't deceive me. β
Xie Shence raised his glass and smiled: "Your Highness has a heart, which is a great blessing for the people." β
The prince was solemn and said, "I should thank Feng Zhi." β
"How can I say thank you, Your Highness, don't blame me for my false words."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Just then, the door to the box opened. A handmaiden with a straight face appeared next to the screen.
"Apricot?"
Xie Shence was a little surprised, how did she find out?
"I've seen Lord Admiral."
Xing'er hadn't seen the prince, so she only saluted to thank Shence. However, the prince didn't care, and looked at her face, so he teased her a little.
"Isn't this little girl's face so bright?"
Xie Shence hurriedly denied it and said: "She is like this, she likes to pretend to be mature." Your Highness, don't misunderstand. β
The prince is not very accustomed to pretending to be mature, but he thinks that he probably likes to pretend to be old and serious. I am still too far away from ordinary people, not like Xie Shence, so that I am not used to their way of speaking.
However, he thought that Xie Shence's words just now were actually quite pointing, so he felt that Xie Shence was also pretending to be mature.
Xing'er only reacted from Xie Shence's words at this time, and it turned out that the person she ignored was the focus of discussion among the people of Suzhou City these days - His Royal Highness the Prince.
So he hurriedly saluted and pleaded guilty. The crown prince did not blame.
Xing'er got up and secretly glanced at the prince again, her heart was still not as good-looking as Xie Shence, no wonder she was subconsciously ignored by herself, and she thought it was a scholar.
The prince's appearance is ordinary, not at all like the bloodline of the handsome and unparalleled Emperor Jin, and at this time, he is dressed ordinarily, so he naturally will not attract too much attention.
If the prince knew that he was not good-looking by a maid of a Qinglou girl, I don't know how he would feel. Maybe you won't care too much.
It's just that Xing'er still has a straight face at this time, so the prince thinks that Xie Shence really did something.
Otherwise, why didn't she speak?
Or maybe it's because of Xie Shence, the prince attaches great importance to this matter and wants to know the cause and effect.
Xie Shence didn't know how to explain, because once he explained, it might get darker and darker, but he couldn't help but explain, so he thought about it and said, "What about your sister?" β
As soon as he opened his mouth, the prince suddenly realized.
Oh, so there's still the main one.
At this time, the prince also remembered some things at the poetry meeting that day, and asked, "Miss Li?" β
Xing'er responded: "Back to Your Highness, it is my sister." β
He said to Xie Shence again: "Why didn't Lord Admiral see my sister earlier? Could it be because my sister has a different identity from an adult, or something to avoid? β
Thank you. Apricot has sharp eyes.
So the prince understood again.
Fu Yushu died, and the explanation given by Ti Qi was that Fu Yushu was brutally killed because he was not afraid of rape and fought against the killer.
But the Fu family is not an ordinary family, they have their own relationships, they have their own forces, and the death of the sister-in-law of the family who has been cultivated with all their strength is a heavy blow to his Fu family. So have been asking to know more.
His Fu family was the first official to belong to the prince's family, and he knew that the prince and Xie Shence had a very close relationship, so he had a good grasp of proportion, and Ti Qi also had the patience to explain slowly in the past two days, and gave the corresponding evidence, that is, those scholars also came forward to testify.
However, not everyone is convinced.
Those who have been staunch opponents of Xie Shence think that there is something else going on in this matter.
Fu Yushu had a lot of friction with Xie Shence before, and some people even broke the news that the origin of the conflict between the two was Li Nian'er of Fan Lou.
So Xie Shence killed Fu Yushu's scholar and the hired servantsβthe matter had already been reported to the Fu family.
Later, Xie Shence took advantage of the gangsters' rebellion to kill Fu Yushu, and finally blamed the gangsters.
I have to say that such a speculation is very insidious, and infinitely close to the truth, that is, after Xie Shence learned about it, the first reaction was whether he was betrayed by someone.
However, such a "frame", even if the other party has evidence, Xie Shence will not admit it, and Ti Qi has already made all the preparations, including witnesses, including some other evidence that the Fu family needs.
So in the past two days, in addition to talking about the good of Xie Shence and Tiqi, conspiracy theories are also very marketable.
The fight between two men and women has always been a gossip that people are happy to see and hear, not to mention that such gossip involves conspiracy and murder, so people are even more enthusiastic. And what makes some people crazy the most is that the protagonist involved, one is the world-famous Commander of the Ti Cavalry, the other is the son of the Fu family who everyone knows in Suzhou City, and the heroine is the head of Fan Lou.
Gossip spreads at an alarming rate, and although most people scoff at it as nothing more than someone who can discredit Xie Shence, people are still happy to talk about it.
That's the weird psychology.
The prince naturally knew.
Hearing Xing'er's words, he naturally didn't think that Xie Shence was really as insidious as the rumors said, but that there was indeed something between Xie Shence and Li Nian'er.
So the prince didn't speak, took a sip of wine comfortably, sat up straight and watched the excitement.
