Chapter 368: Before the Showdown
Although Geng Jin is a military boss who started because of his military exploits, he is definitely not an eyeless person. It's like if you don't know how to compose music and lyrics, it won't stop you from listening to songs. As soon as the "Man Jianghong" in memory of Geng Chao and the elegiac couplet written for Yang Yao came out, they were widely circulated in Chang'an at an incredible speed. There was an endless stream of people from all walks of life who came to pay homage to the three martyred generals, and all of a sudden, they came like a tide. While worshipping the martyrs, it is indispensable to observe and appreciate Yang Zhi's masterpiece "by the way".
The freshly baked poetry couplet was unexpectedly transmitted to the palace in the first time. Jin Zishan was ordered to transcribe and send it, and he couldn't help but secretly praise it, but he was also quite worried in his heart: Isn't that uncle still famous enough? Don't you think the emperor is not troublesome enough? With such a swagger, which one do you want to sing?
Zhao Qi is very hidden under the deliberate protection of the first emperor, and it is not an embroidery pillow that does not know how to learn, but his wisdom and mental skills are far older than his peers. After reading it repeatedly, he sighed with a long sigh: "Although the word mourning Geng Chao is majestic and majestic, the elegy written for Yang Yao is also impassioned and heartfelt!" …… I have to admit that Yang Zhi does have an immortal talent! ”
Jin Zishan echoed: "The slave also thinks that everything Yang Hou does cannot be passed on." Now in Chang'an City, it is not an exaggeration to say that paper is expensive for a while. Many princes and dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and magnates did not hesitate to ask for a word from Yang Hou but could not get it. Yang Hou's handwritten invitations in his early years were only a dozen words, and each of them had been sold for more than 50,000 taels. Even so, it is still priceless, and it can be called a thousand words. ”
Zhao Qi sneered hatefully: "My brother-in-law is rich and rivals the country. Mighty like a prince. Just a few small pieces of money, how can he be eye-catching? I held a state funeral for the three martyred generals. I don't want to make a wedding dress for others, it's better for Yang to give a eulogy and a couplet! He fought against me at every turn. What the hell do you want to do?! ”
Jin Zi is kind and good-hearted, and you say all the good and bad things, and you don't let people live? After the death of a friend, he composed lyrics to express his condolences, even if there are masterpieces handed down, no matter which dynasty or generation is a normal thing, how can he be the only one who can't do it? The first emperor was still pulling and pulling at him half-coaxing and half-deceiving, why did you look at him horizontally and vertically? …… If you are a human being, you will have a temper, Yang Zhi has always been a master who eats soft and does not eat hard, so he must be forced to leave and be self-reliant. Are you willing?
Wanyan persuaded: "Since ancient times, it has been kindness, and the slave believes that the world will be grateful for the emperor's kindness." The slave thought that Yang Hou should just feel it, and the emperor might have misunderstood. ”
Zhao Qi said irritably: "I haven't been so faint that I see the wind is rain, you just have to rest assured." The biggest problem at the moment is, first of all, to raise silver taels for urgent needs, and secondly, how to deal with the aftermath of the Turkic side and how to deal with the war in Southern Chu. The funerals of the three martyred generals have ended. It's easy to say that there are several difficult problems. ――Do you want me to lower my face and ask Yang Zhi? Could it be that all the civil and military ministers of Great Xia are dead? ”
Things will always have to be resolved, but at a different cost in terms of time and consumption. If you can't correct your attitude towards Yang Zhi, it will be in vain to ask Bacheng. To know. Now that the capital in your hand is really limited, he doesn't have to ask you for anything at all!
Jin Zishan said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the slave said it a few days ago. Yang Hou has always been thoughtful and long-term. Careful planning, but the matter of advice rarely fails. The emperor is broad-minded. If you feel that Yang Hou's advice is indeed useful, you may as well choose it. ”
Zhao Qi was silent for a long time, and said coldly: "I don't know what conditions this guy will propose?" It's time for me to talk to him. ”
When the emperor was worried about Yang Zhi, Xu Wenhan, Qin Kongyun, Yang Zhi, Wei Feiyang and other brothers gathered again in Yang Mansion for a drink, and the hot topic was naturally the eulogy and elegy that spread throughout Chang'an overnight.
Wei Feiyang praised the case again and again, and said with emotion: "The third brother is really a good skill!" I've also read a lot of poetry couplets, only you are the only one who makes it, either you can touch the bottom of your heart, or you can make people's blood boil! All of them are heirlooms! It's a pity that you have to make one or two songs for several years, but it's not enjoyable, it's not enjoyable! ”
Qin Kongyun said with a smile: "If it weren't for the troubled times, the third brother would rely on such a hand, it must be easy to become a peerless talent, and it can also be used as a resource to settle down." ”
Yang Zhi's classic poems in his belly are not much in stock, and there is one less one with one, how can he squander and waste them casually? The wisdom and fists that survive in troubled times, if you are a copyist who eats mixed rice, it is tantamount to thinking that you will live a long life.
Disapprovingly: "There is a way that articles are written for the time, and songs and poems are written for things." You think it's like pouring cabbage, and you can open your mouth at any time? I don't need to rely on this to fight for fame, and I don't need to rely on this to eat, and besides, scarcity is expensive! ”
Xu Wenhan always has an ancient and unwavering spirit, or out of professional habits, he always thinks deeper: "As the saying goes, there are thousands of ravines in the chest, and the wind on the face is light. That is, you, if you are someone else, you don't know what kind of situation you will fall into! The eulogy and elegy you made are very good, but I wonder how the emperor will feel? ”
Yang Zhi sneered at each other: "You have been light and quiet for so long, and you pretend to have a dead face every day, so you are not tired and panicked?" Don't you just want to say that my move is suspected of being a good seller to the military, and it will attract the emperor's suspicion of me more and more? ”
Xu Wenhan smiled: "The lord of troubled times is a minister, not only to show his ambition and make a difference, but also to know how to protect himself." It can bend and stretch, advance and retreat to a certain extent, and there is nothing wrong. ”
Qin Kongyun asked suspiciously: "So the third brother recommended himself in front of the emperor that day, is he doing the opposite, advancing as retreating?" …… Will the emperor still use you? ”
Xu Wenhan smiled bitterly: "What do you say? Does the emperor still dare to use him? ”
"Yes. Definitely. Yang Zhi affirmed: "The emperor is a smart man. Not long after he ascended the throne at a young age, he dared to mobilize tens of thousands of elite Xia troops and carefully planned to kill Suoli, which is enough to prove his ambition. The war with the Turks almost perfectly achieved the intended strategic goal, and the results were almost once and for all, which would greatly increase his confidence in himself. I dare say that the emperor will never be able to withstand the temptation of extermination! ”
"The first emperor was jealous of my ability, and the emperor was jealous of me in addition to my ability, and now I have a strength that no one can underestimate. The first emperor used me, or cooperated with me, on the basis of mutual use, and had the capital in his hands. But the emperor's capital in his hands now is pitiful! That's why I reminded him that there must be the right conditions. The emperor will definitely come to me for a showdown! (To be continued.) )
