This poem, the upper and lower ques use a clear contrasting technique, first to render the Lantern Festival festive and lively, the streamer, the eager man in the crowd looking for his lover, finally, far away from the hustle and bustle of the lamplight, see the outstanding lover, the last two sentences, depicting the lover's otherworldly beauty. It was really the finishing touch of God, which amazed all the ministers.

However, this is the word that Leng Yi wrote to Mrs. Hua Rui for advice, but what is literally expressed in the words is a kind of tryst between men and women, and everyone present knows very well in their hearts that Emperor Zhao Guangyi has a soft spot for Madame Hua Rui, and Leng Yi wrote a word that can be regarded as a love poem for Madame Hua Rui in front of him, I don't know if the emperor will be angry. One by one, they waited quietly. But Zhao Guangyi stared blankly at Mrs. Hua Rui in the lamplight.

Mrs. Hua Rui was also stunned, she was shocked by Leng Yi's "talent", this pillar of incense work, she wrote such wonderful words, such a literary style, she had never seen it. It is written about the eagerness of the tryst between men and women in the lively song and dance of the Lantern Festival, but in the last two sentences, seeing the lover standing outside the hustle and bustle, he is praising himself for being self-pitying, not admiring glory, and being willing to abide by the lonely festival, and he suddenly has a sense of knowing in his heart.

Madame Blossom walked slowly and stepped into the lantern shroud.

At this time, the room was quiet, and suddenly someone sneered and said: "My father's imperial guards actually wrote love poems to the emperor's concubine in public, what kind of system!" ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone's faces changed.

Leng Yi turned his head to look, only to see that the person who spoke was a half-old child, sitting in a wooden wheelchair, although the lights in the room failed to reflect his pale face. His gaze was grim, like a wolf slowly pacing out of the forest.

When Leng Yi came in, he had already noticed him. He was sitting next to the crown prince Zhao Yuanzuo at the time, and the seating arrangements were all orderly, from the point of view of order, he should be the second prince Zhao Yuanzuo!

Zhao Yuanxi was almost pinched by Xiao Zhouhou, and fainted in pain, until now, he has not recovered, he can't walk, he can only participate in the banquet in a wheelchair, and he doesn't dare to tell the truth, only that he is not feeling well, so he is in a wheelchair, for fear that people will know the joke.

Zhao Yuanxi met Leng Yi's gaze and sneered: "What are you looking at?" You molested the former emperor and concubine in public, that is a capital crime of extermination! Don't you kneel down and die?! ”

Leng Yi smiled faintly: "Second prince, dare to ask me this poem, which sentence has the meaning of teasing the concubine?" ”

Zhao Yuanxu was stunned for a moment, this poem is written about the excitement of the Lantern Festival, and the first half of the lower part is written about the women on the street wearing gold and silver to secretly incense and go to the shuttle, only the last few sentences, written to find someone, see in the lamplight, there is no straightforward description of this woman in the whole text, in the literal sense, there is no meaning of admiration for that woman, and it is really not possible to find a handle to say that he loves that woman.

Zhao Yuanxi knew that he was wrong, but he didn't admit defeat, snorted, and said: "You have the meaning of praising the former emperor and concubine in this word, that is blasphemy, it is a capital crime!" ”

Leng Yi smiled: "Second prince, please advise, which sentence in my poem says that the person found in the lamplight is a woman?" ”

Zhao Yuanxi was speechless for a moment.

In fact, this poem speculates from the artistic conception that the author is looking for a woman, but it can't be deduced literally, but just searching, and then found that he was standing in the lamplight, and the whole text did not point out that it was a woman.

Zhao Tingmei came over to play a round and said: "Leng Tuiguan's poem really can't be said to be disrespectful to the concubine......

Zhao Yuanxi was still unwilling to give up, and interrupted Zhao Tingmei's words: "Why not?" In his poems, there is the meaning of admiring and admiring the beauty of the concubine! Marvel at her otherworldliness, that's it! ”

Zhao Tingmei smiled bitterly and looked at Leng Yi, meaning that he should not be like a child. Leng Yi knew that if the other party's trumped-up charge was not refuted on this occasion, those civil servants would be very clear, but the military generals and concubines, princesses, princesses and the like who didn't understand poetry were afraid that they would go out and talk nonsense, and it would be troublesome at that time.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty was prevalent in courtiers arguing with the monarch, and Bao Zheng argued with Emperor Song Renzong at the beginning, and saliva sprayed on the emperor's face. Kou Zhun argued with the emperor Song Taizong present, and directly dragged the emperor to sit down. It can be seen that the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were still relatively casual. What's more, the one who argues with himself is just a second prince. Leng Yi knew this, and he had a sense of proportion in his heart.

At that moment, Leng Yi said coldly: "So, praising the concubine is a capital crime?" ”

"Of course! His heart can be punished! ”

"May I ask Your Highness, 'The clouds want to dress and the flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon. If it weren't for the jade mountain, it would meet Yaotai under the moon. And the next two poems, it is the poet fairy Li Taibai wrote this poem in front of Yang Guifei, praising the beauty of Yang Guifei, competing with peony flowers, and praising only the fairies in the sky have such beauty, that is, the goddess and Zhao Feiyan are ashamed of themselves. From His Royal Highness's point of view, Li Bai also teased Yang Guifei in person, so Tang Xuanzong should kill Li Bai? ”

Zhao Yuanxu argued with self-reliance: "He is directly complimenting, you are expressing admiration, it's different!" ”

"That Bai Juyi's 'I wish to be a winged bird in heaven, and I wish to be a branch in the earth. The days are long and sometimes endless, and this hatred lasts forever. 'Didn't you admire Yang Guifei to the extreme? How did the Tang Dynasty royal family not punish him? ”

Zhao Yuanxi stubbornly continued to argue: "Bai Juyi, that's ......, that's ......, that's what Tang Xuanzong said!" ”

"Oh-" Leng Yi dragged out his tone, "It turns out that only Bai Juyi can do this?" ”

Someone in the crowd couldn't help but laugh, and then felt that it was inappropriate, and quickly restrained their smiles, and the rest of the people looked at it, but they didn't know who was secretly laughing.

It's just that this smile made Zhao Yuanxi laugh so much, although Leng Yi didn't say it explicitly, it was already very clear that since Bai Juyi could write to Yang Guifei in the tone of a king, of course, Leng Yi could also be allowed to write to Mrs. Hua Rui in the tone of Emperor Zhao Guangyi. When he said this, all the Wenchen nodded one after another, and in this way, this poem can be understood as a poem written by Leng Yi to pat the emperor's sycophants in his tone and secretly praise Madame Hua Rui, which is more logical.

Leng Yi moved Emperor Zhao Guangyi out, and the second prince Zhao Yuanxi couldn't say anything anymore, so he turned his face hatefully and didn't speak.

Madame Hua Rui smiled faintly, turned to Emperor Zhao Guangyi and said, "Thank you!" ”

When Leng Yi and the second prince Zhao Yuanxi were arguing just now, Zhao Guangyi just looked at Mrs. Hua Rui intently, and what they said also entered his ears without a word, until Mrs. Hua Rui thanked him for the blessing, and Zhao Guangyi woke up like a dream.

Although Zhao Guangyi was born as a military general, he is also proficient. Of course, we know that poems often set up some plots to express a certain thought and heart of the author, when it is not necessarily the literal meaning of the poem itself. It is expected that Leng Yi knows that he has a deep affection for Mrs. Hua Rui, and it is impossible to rob a woman with himself, the emperor, let alone do it in public, and Zhao Guangyi knows that Leng Yi loves his wife Zhuo Qiaoniang deeply, and in order to treat her, he can be said to have done his best to commit the crime of bullying the king. He wouldn't fall in love with Madame Blossom the first time he saw her, as he was sure of from his previous performances. Therefore, Zhao Guangyi knew that Leng Yi's poem was just borrowing the plot of the tryst between men and women during the Lantern Festival to praise Mrs. Hua Rui.

Now, Mrs. Hua Rui actually thanked him for Leng Yi's words, which was a great joy for Zhao Guangyi, and he couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows and smile. He knew that he thanked him according to the meaning of Leng Yi's words, clearly recognizing that this poem was written by Leng Yi in his own name, and he quickly slapped his hands and exclaimed: "Niangniang is polite, I often sigh that Niangniang is noble and elegant, and she is extraordinary, but she has no choice but to learn shallowly and can't form a sentence." Now Leng Aiqing has helped me say what is in my heart, and described the nobility of Hua Rui Niangniang's unstained dust so unforgettable, it is really good! Hey, hey, hey! ”

As soon as he affirmed this, the second prince darkened his face, and everyone was relieved, so they praised it, some of them were sincere, and of course some were not convinced.

Leng Yi knew that Mrs. Hua Rui said this to help herself. He smiled at her gratefully.

Madame Blossom also looked at him with a smile: "Sir turned out to be deeply hidden, disrespectful!" With the poetry of adults, it is the teacher of the stamen. Hua Rui had an axe before, and he had to ask Mr. for advice! "That's it, a blessing.

Leng Yi hurriedly returned the salute, listening to her call herself by her name, instead of using the high-flying "Bengong", and calling herself Mr., it can be seen that she really regards herself as a student. Leng Yi is actually the ability to plagiarize the poems of later generations, if you really want to say anything about poetry, there is no one at all, where can you dare to be someone else's teacher? Busy and humble.

Madame Blossom continued: "Blossom's ugly work just now is really unsightly compared to Mr. Flower's masterpiece. Can you rewrite a poem in the voice of a flower for advice? ”

Zhao Guangyi's purpose was to let Mrs. Hua Rui stay for a while, and now listening to her take the initiative to ask Leng Yi to write a poem, he was in the middle of it, and said happily: "Good idea!" However, Leng Aiqing just wrote a good song, and immediately asked him to write a poem with the same theme, and he had to write it in the tone of his mother, but I am afraid that he will not be able to write it for a while and a half, so this period can be extended, don't limit it to a pillar of incense, how about tonight? Let him turn in the papers. Give him a few hours to think about it, and maybe something will come out well. ”

Mrs. Hua Rui nodded slightly: "Then Hua Rui will go back to the Buddha Hall first, and then come to be taught." With that, turn around and leave.

Zhao Guangyi was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Mrs. Hua Rui to come to this hand, so he hurriedly glanced at Leng Yi.

Leng Yi hurriedly said: "Niangniang, please stay!" ”

Madame Blossom stood still, not looking back.

Leng Yi said: "The article is natural, and the magic hand can get it." Poetry is also like this, deliberately pondered, often unsatisfactory, since the mother is in a hurry to return to the Buddha hall to worship the Buddha, then Weichen is still limited to a pillar of incense, write a poem for the mother. ”

Madame Blossom slowly turned around and looked at him, a little surprised: "Won't you be in too much of a hurry?" ”

"As the saying goes: I have limited ability to get stinky chess in the long exam, even if I give me a year, I may not be able to write a poem that satisfies my mother, so I should hurry up and write a bad job, and ask my mother for guidance."

Madame Blossom smiled and said, "Sir is too modest, since Sir is so talented, then Stamen is waiting for the masterpiece." ”

Zhao Guangyi saw that it was impossible to keep Mrs. Hua Rui for a long time, so it was good to leave another pillar of incense, so he hurriedly said: "Someone!" Light incense. -- Today is the Lantern Festival, everyone is lively, guessing riddles, eating and drinking, you don't have to accompany them, so as not to be depressed. ”

Everyone laughed, especially those generals and princesses who didn't understand poetry, they had no interest in writing poetry, and when they heard Zhao Guangyi say this, they dispersed, guessing riddles and admiring the lanterns, and some generals gathered around to eat and drink and draw fists. The generals invited this time are all brothers of life and death who followed the Zhao Guangyi brothers to fight on the battlefield, so they are not restrained.

The reason why Zhao Guangyi let them be casual was to distract everyone's attention, so that he could secretly appreciate Mrs. Hua Rui. Don't worry about the embarrassment of being discovered.

Madame Blossom still sat in her original chair, holding a rosary in her hand, and chanting with her eyes closed.

Now, Zhao Guangyi can appreciate her beauty even more unscrupulously.

Of course, Leng Yi made a meditative look again. The Wenchen were already impressed by Leng Yi's previous poem, and seeing that he was about to write another one, not only with the theme of Lantern Festival, but also in the tone of Mrs. Hua Rui, they couldn't help but be very curious, and they all wanted to know if Leng Yi could write another excellent work. So they all waited quietly.

Like last time, it wasn't until the last moment that Leng Yi put pen to paper, and he did it overnight. I almost finished writing the poem on the spot.

Prince Zhao Yuanzuo took the words written by Leng Yi first, made everyone quiet, and then read aloud:

On New Year's Eve last year, the flower market was lit up like day.

The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk.

On New Year's Eve this year, the moon and lights are still the same.

I didn't see last year's people, and my tears wet the sleeves of my spring shirt.

This poem plagiarized by Leng Yi is a famous poem by the female lyricist Zhu Shuzhen (Ouyang Xiu) in the Song Dynasty. It is a well-known masterpiece describing the Lantern Festival.

After the prince finished reading, he was stunned, looked at Leng Yi, and after a while, he was stunned and said: "You actually wrote two such wonderful masterpieces in the work of two pillars of incense, if you didn't witness it with your own eyes, I wouldn't believe it!" ”

Zhao Tingmei clapped her hands and exclaimed: "It's really another wonderful song!" The word Leng, in ordinary words and phrases that anyone can understand, writes about the thoughts of the flower lady for the emperor so sincerely and touchingly. Such back-to-basics words and phrases show the superb poetic talent of Lord Leng! Admire! ”

Because this time, Madame Hua Rui had already explained the words that Leng Yi wrote in her tone, so there was no question of taboos. All the Wenchen were amazed, and even those who were a little unconvinced by Leng Yi before had to secretly admire it at this moment.

Mrs. Hua Rui was stunned, in the eyes of others, this poem was written by Mrs. Hua Rui to miss the former emperor Zhao Kuangyin, but she herself understood it as missing her late husband Meng Chang. The scene described in this poem is what she experienced with Meng Chang. The laughter of the past continues to echo, but the Yiren who are involved are in the sky. Because of longing, tears wet spring shirt, isn't this the most vivid description of myself now.
