Chapter 270: Sycophant Learning
Weiyang Palace, Jiaofang Palace.
Gou Shen's mood is a little indescribable.
Recently, he came to the palace to reunite with his sister and talk to Wang Zhengjun when he was fine, but Wang Zhengjun summoned more times than he himself asked to meet.
As the saying goes, the eldest brother is the father, the eldest sister is like the mother, and when the elder sister speaks, the younger brother naturally has to listen, not to mention that this sister is still the queen.
What Gou Shen was unhappy about was that Wang Zhengjun wanted him to go to Wei County when he was young.
Wei County, the birthplace of the Wang family, used to be the court captain of the Han Dynasty, and now the abbot of the Han Dynasty, and the Marquis of Yangping.
Of course, there are all the men of the Wang family in Wei County, except for Wang Feng, who is now the guard and the protector of the Western Regions.
Recognizing ancestors and returning to their ancestors is extremely normal.
But is he really the Wang family?
Regarding his life experience, is it because his mother Li Qin married into the Gou family in Hexi and combined with Gou Bin to have himself, or did his mother resolutely leave the playboy Wang Ban to the Gou family and give birth to herself?
Or is his father simply neither Wang Ban nor Gou Bin, but someone else?
Even if he is an illegitimate child without a father, it is nothing.
There are many people who have always had an embarrassing identity who can leave their names through the ages, such as Confucius.
It is said that Confucius's father's uncle Liang Su was seventy years old and gave birth to Confucius in a hidden place on a wild hill with a twenty-eight woman, Yan Zhengye^, so Confucius's name is Kong Qiu, the word Zhongni.
Gou Shen has always been skeptical about "70-year-old uncle Liang Su made 16-year-old Yan Zheng pregnant in the wild".
The average life expectancy in the Han Dynasty was only in their twenties and less than thirty, and people at the age of fifty could not be old, and life was rare for seventy years. Seventy years old. Impregnate a teenage woman? Or the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period hundreds of years ago?
This one. It's a bit more difficult to operate.
Besides, like Wei Qing at the time of Emperor Wu, Huo Qubing was all illegitimate children.
Wei Qing's father was called Zheng Ji, who was working in the house of Cao Shou, the Marquis of Pingyang, and Cao Shou was the husband of Emperor Wu's sister Princess Yangxin - also called Princess Pingyang - Zheng Ji couldn't control himself, and had an affair with Cao Shou's charismatic concubine Wei Yuan and gave birth to Wei Qing.
And Wei Qing's half-sister Wei Zifu didn't later become the queen of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?
Princess Pingyang and Cao Shou had a son named Cao Xiang. Cao Xiang later married Princess Wei Chang, the daughter of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Wei Zifu.
After Cao Shou died, Princess Pingyang remarried Xiahou Po, Marquis of Ruyin, and after Xiahou Po's death, Princess Pingyang remarried Wei Qing again.
In other words, in the end, the illegitimate son Wei Qing married Cao Xiang's mother, Princess Pingyang, and Cao Xiang married Princess Wei Chang, the daughter of Wei Qing's sister Wei Zifu.
Besides, Huo Quai, Pingyang Hou Cao Shou's concubine Wei Yuan, who had an affair with Wei Qing's father Zheng Ji, also gave birth to a daughter named Wei Shao'er with Cao Shou, that is, Wei Qing's half-sister.
Wei Shao'er had an affair with Huo Zhongru, a minor official in Pingyang County, and gave birth to Huo Quai.
This Huo Zhongru is the father of Huo Guang, the prime minister of Emperor Xuan's Liu Xunshi.
Kong Zhongni in the Spring and Autumn Period was too far away from the age. Don't mention it, Wei Qing and Huo Quai. The identities of these two people are embarrassing, aren't they also in the beautiful scenery of the Han Dynasty, and they are extremely people?
Although there is no doubt that Wang Zhengjun and Wang Feng, as well as Wang Chong, who is far away in Wei County, are indeed compatriots with his mother, but is that Wang Ban really his biological father?
In fact, there is another point, Gou saw Wang Zhengjun and still had something to say, but every time he saw Wang Feng, the two of them couldn't squeeze out three sentences for a long time, so what if they really went to see Wang Ban?
Gou Shen had an inexplicable sense of rejection of the Wei Jun Wang family in his heart, or rather, he felt that he had no sense of belonging.
Gou Shen felt that he did not belong to the Wang family in Wei County, nor to the Gou family in Hexi.
The Wang family has never taken care of themselves, at least not in their memory, and the Gou family, from the moment they started, longed that they were destitute and wanted to put themselves to death as soon as possible.
Did he want to learn from Huo Qu's illness and become famous, so he ran to Huo Zhongru and knelt down and said that he was not filial to his son, and he only learned that his father was here today, and he was late, please forgive me?
Gou Shen is very entangled.
The snowflakes fluttered outside the Jiaofang Palace, and Gou Shen slowly walked outside the Jiaofang Palace, and the palace maid with big eyes and thin waist and surging "breasts" and round and warped buttocks sent Gou Shen outside again, but this time Gou Shen didn't say "thank you" to her.
The pretty maid watched Gou Shen walk away in the snow a little lonely, stood for a while, and then turned back.
Now Gou Shen is already very familiar with Weiyang Palace, and those who see him also know that this young and ambitious Du Hu is the younger brother of the future queen, so they are very polite to him.
The snow under his feet creaked and creaked, and Gou Shen suddenly wanted to meet Zhu Bo, who was always pretending to be a fool and pretending to be confused.
Sometimes, it's so difficult to find someone to drink with and talk about.
Banner axe, big tricks, Gou Shen suddenly saw these near the Xuanshu Palace, quickly bowed down and stood aside, after a while, the Son of Heaven Liu Zheng came over, saw Gou Shen and asked: "Gou Shen to the Jiaofang Palace?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have seen Jieyu."
Although everyone knows that Wang Zhengjun is the future queen of the Han Dynasty, but before the canonization, especially in front of Liu Zheng, the son of heaven, he can only call Wang Zhengjun Jieyu, otherwise, it is arrogance.
Liu Zheng sighed and said: "Now that the snow is falling, how magnificent, Aiqing can have a poem?" ”
Gou Shen muttered in his heart, this Liu Zheng was addicted to listening to his own random poems, and replied: "The weather is cold, Gou Shen is a little confused by the cold, and he can't think of any poetry for a while, if he says it casually, it is disrespectful to His Majesty." ”
Liu Zheng saw that Gou Shen was honest, so he was about to speak, but Gou Shen said again: "However, Gou Shen remembered a sentence, which is also about snow, why don't you say it and smile at Your Majesty?" ”
Seeing Liu Zheng nodding, Gou coughed and said, "What does the heavy snow look like, who sprinkles salt in the air?" ”
Liu Zheng was still waiting for Gou Shen to continue, but he didn't expect him to lose these two sentences, and said with a light smile: "The previous sentence is okay." Why did the latter sentence become a sprinkling of salt? ”
Gou Shen scratched his head and said, "If only this snow was all salt." Then sweep it home and you can use it. The people of the Han Dynasty will be able to use a lot less, and the Son of Heaven will worry less about the people. ”
"It's hard for you to think of me and the people at this time."
Liu Zheng praised Gou Shen and said: "There is no poetry in Duhu, but I just made a poem, do you want to listen to it?" ”
Gou Shen was immediately stunned: "Your Majesty is really quick-witted!" Listen to your ears and listen to it, are you happy? Couldn't be happier! ”
Liu Zheng also coughed and said: "Then you listen - the snowflakes bloom six times, and the ice beads reflect the nine lights, which is like driving a jade horse, and temporarily looks like a silver hunting deer." ”
After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Gou Shen. Seeing that he thought for a while, he then said sharply: "Okay! ”
Gou Shen said hello, looked at Liu Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's poems are wonderful and natural, they are really easy to come by, they are unique, flawless, and eternal. ”
Liu Zheng had a smile on his face, and Gou Shen said, "It's just that the minister is stupid." Your Majesty said that the snowflakes bloom six times, and the petals of this snow are six. It's easy to understand when you start with the Hail Ice and Snow Beads, but it's these nine lights, and the minister doesn't understand. ”
"Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, if you don't understand, just ask, okay, I'm comforted, I'll tell you what this nine lights are, so that you won't be confused, lest someone say I'm making it up."
Gou Shen smiled: "The minister really doesn't know, but Your Majesty is the king of a country, how can you make it up?" Your Majesty's foresight, how many people in the world can understand? ”
"Even if it is those who are professors with doctors, they know a lot, but there are talented people in the country, who said that the back wave cannot be stronger than the front wave? Thinking about Gao Zu Xiongcai's great creation of the great cause of the Han Dynasty, if he saw that everyone in the Han Dynasty was living and working in peace and contentment, he would laugh happily, right? ”
Gou Shen's words made Liu Zheng even more happy, and said as he walked: "You are right, civilization is to inherit from generation to generation and constantly push the new and eliminate the old, if everyone does not leave, then how can we move forward and open up?" ”
Gou Shen's meeting was flattery and seeking advice, which gave Liu Zheng a feeling of being a teacher in front of others, and Gou Shen's words spoke in his heart.
Liu Zheng just inherited the throne, it was when he had the intention to act, he was afraid that others would say that he was not as good as the old emperor Emperor Xuan, this Gou Shen seemed to know what he was thinking, and he said the words of the people who came out of the country, which made Liu Zheng express his heart directly, and he was also happy!
The two talked, a person who not only knew a little about what he said but also had a unique opinion according to his own meaning, or still didn't know much about his own words, then he could show his cleverness even more, so Liu Zheng was in a very good mood and said: "Emperor Wu will have a kind of lamp that emits nine colors, and it flickers very beautifully, so when you see this snowflake turning into ice droplets, is it colorful under the light?" Is it compatible with the nine pearls? ”
Gou Shen nodded and said, "Sure enough, it's true, it's colorful, five and six add up to eleven, more than nine." ”
"The minister understands, the meaning of Your Majesty's poem is that the hexagonal snowflakes with ice beads, flashing with colorful light fluttering in the wind, like a galloping jade horse for a while, and instantly turning into a jade deer being chased."
"It's wonderful!"
Liu Zheng and Gou Shen were talking, and before they knew it, they arrived at the Vermilion Bird Palace, and Gou Shen said: "The minister is brave, I want to ask Your Majesty for something." ”
"Oh? Tell me what's going on. ”
Gou Shen salivated and said: "The minister wants to ask His Majesty to give the poem and jade he just made to the minister, so that the minister can take it back and worship it from time to time, and think about it carefully, so as to get some inspiration and inspiration for composition in His Majesty's poems." ”
"If you take it back and look at it, that's it, inspiration and inspiration, which you need to see, learn, and observe more to have your own creativity."
Liu Zheng said this, which undoubtedly agreed to Gou Shen's request, and Gou Shen smiled and watched Liu Zheng pick up the pen and write.
After a while, Liu Zheng finished writing, and Gou Shen respectfully held the poem in his hand and read it, saying in his heart that the words written by Liu Zheng were really good.
Liu Zheng wrote the plum blossom seal character for Gou Shen, which is called "historical book", but this historical book does not refer to historical books, but refers to a kind of book style big seal, because this kind of book was created by King Xuan of Zhou's Taishi Shi, so it is called "historical book".
Gou Shen looked at Liu Zheng's words, and recited the poem again in a subdued tone, and it could be seen that Liu Zheng was also a little complacent, and Gou Shen was about to say something more, when a person came in outside, and when he saw Liu Zheng, he said: "Your Majesty, brother, I'm going to die!"
