Chapter 16: The Empress's Good Poems [1st Update]
For several days, Lin Dong took Wang Zhaojun to play in Chang'an City.
Wang Zhaojun's beauty has also caused some trouble, but this kind of trouble is not a trouble for Lin Dong at all, and it has not affected the mood of the two of them at all.
Before I knew it, the time had come to the day of the empress's birthday.
There are three million residents in Chang'an City, on the day of the empress's birthday, they are all on the street, in the attic, looking through the window, looking at the streets of Chang'an City, watching the peony flowers bloom in the Daming Palace open the door, the empress does not sit in a sedan chair, but rides a famous horse, walks on the streets of Chang'an, enjoys the support of the people in Chang'an City, just like a round of tomorrow as dazzling.
Inside the restaurant, a white-clothed swordsman was holding a gourd, and when the people were outside to watch the empress Wu Zetian, the swordsman was constantly drinking, and when he heard the horse's hooves walking outside, he pouted his lips faintly.
"Over there is Sun Bin, the representative of Jixia Academy, and next to Sun Bin is Lian Po, who is also a disciple of Jixia Academy."
Ming Shiyin is well-informed, standing on the right side of Lin Dong, introducing the different forces that came to celebrate his birthday.
"Empress Zhong Wuyan of the Qi Kingdom."
Ming Shiyin pointed and said: "Zhong Wuyan is also a disciple of Jixia Academy, when she was in Jixia Academy, she caused a lot of trouble, and the master always treated her with a tolerant heart, and then married the King of Qi, and gave the land near Jixia Academy to the school, and now leads the Qi State to fight in the south and north to fight against Daqin." ”
Lin Dong nodded.
Zhong Wuyan has an ugly face and is very manly, and at a glance he looks like a pure man.
"Great Qin Xuan Empress Dowager Miyue."
Ming Shiyin pointed to a dignified woman on the other side and said: "Since winning the government and taking power, Miyue has lost control in the Qin State, but even so, it is also important in Great Qin, she came here for the purpose of not congratulating her birthday, the Yaotian organization has found out that Miyue and Cao Cao are both colluded because of Xu Fu, and there are letters to exchange in private, and this time there are other plans." ”
Lin Dong nodded.
"Over there is Zhou Yu, the commander of the Wu State, and Zhou Yu's wife Xiao Qiao."
Ming Shiyin said: "Zhou Yu is old-fashioned by nature, he treats his wife gently, and he only wants to run the waterway, which is a rare handsome man in the world. ”
"Over there is Guan Yu of Shu Kingdom, and the child standing next to him is Liu Bei's child Liu Chan, although Liu Chan is young, but he controls the mechanism created by Zhuge Liang, and his combat power cannot be underestimated."
"Cao Cao ...... of Wei State"
"The ministers of the dynasty around the empress, there are Li Jing of the Great Wall in the north, generals Xue Rengui, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Shubao, Wei Chigong, the girl next to the empress is also very capable, called Shangguan Wan'er."
When he heard Ming Shiyin's introduction to Shangguan Wan'er, Lin Dong looked at it twice, and looked at this famous strange woman, with first-class appearance, tall figure, and elegant temperament.
After the empress toured the city, she rode back to Daming Palace.
Ministers, generals, and foreign visitors in Chang'an City who congratulated their birthdays all entered the Daming Palace in an orderly manner under the arrangement.
"Let's go, let's go to Daming Palace to have a good time."
Lin Dong led Wang Zhaojun and walked towards Daming Palace.
Wang Zhaojun is the queen of Beiyi, if she is going to congratulate the empress on her birthday, she will naturally be able to enter the Daming Palace smoothly, as for the birthday gift, Lin Dong is most indispensable for gold and silver jewelry, especially now, gold and silver jewelry will come to the hand.
Outside the Daming Palace, Wang Zhaojun's body changed into the appearance of [Phoenix Yu Fei], Lin Dong followed Wang Zhaojun's side, and he could also get a slightly gorgeous dress, which was regarded as a platform for Wang Zhaojun, the two came to the outside of the Daming Palace, and after conveying the words, there was a little eunuch who immediately went inside, and after a short time, Shangguan Wan'er walked from the Inner Palace, and after asking, he took Lin Dong and Wang Zhaojun to the Daming Palace.
"The empress's birthday is celebrated all over the world."
Shangguan Wan'er walked in front, Lin Dong and Wang Zhaojun followed behind, and said: "It's a blessing that the two of you can come all the way from the north, now the empress is holding a banquet in Shanglin Garden, and all the states are there, and the two of them are too short to come, I'm afraid they will be at the end." ”
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Dong said.
"I wonder if you two can write poetry?"
Shangguan Wan'er suddenly asked.
Lin Dong and Wang Zhaojun glanced at each other, and then said with a smile: "I can't compose poetry, but I'm good at reciting poetry." ”
Shangguan Wan'er looked at Lin Dong, she didn't know what she meant, and she didn't know where she had a sense of superiority in reading the poem, which made Lin Dongneng say it so naturally.
"The empress likes poetry, if the two of you don't know poetry, forget it, and later in Shanglin Yuan, don't have a conflict because of poetry."
Shangguan Wan'er said softly, and then continued to walk inside with Lin Dong and Wang Zhaojun.
Shanglin Garden is the garden of the Empress.
In this garden, osmanthus, plum blossoms, chrysanthemums, lotus, daffodils, begonias, peonies, ...... Hundred flowers are not bound by the season, bloom to their heart's content, butterflies dance in this forest garden, the empress's birthday banquet is set up in this Daming Palace, and it is also set up in this Chang'an City.
In the Daming Palace is a feast of all countries, and outside the Daming Palace, it is a feast for the people.
"A hundred flowers are blooming, the empress is very capable."
Lin Dong watched the flowers bloom and the butterflies flew one after another, and praised.
"There are people in Daming Palace who specialize in cultivating flowers and trees."
Shangguan Wan'er introduced: "This flower and wood are plants and trees, and they are withered and glorious because of the current atmosphere, if the qi is locked in the flowers at this time, the flowers will naturally not be thanked at all times, this kind of trick is not worth mentioning." ”
Shangguan Wan'er arranged for Lin Dong and Wang Zhaojun to sit down, and then retired and left.
After Lin Dong sat down, he looked around the scene, Lin Dong was sitting on his side with representatives of various regions, and not far away, there were hundreds of civil and military officials, listening to them talking in a whisper, and what they said was about poetry.
Poetry is Wu Zetian's heart disease.
Tang Dynasty Sword Immortal Li Bai is famous in Chang'an for poetry, wine, and swords, but after leaving Chang'an and going to the Western Regions, he saw the old land of the Western Regions bulldozed by the empress, and met the devastated princess of the Western Regions.
Characters like Li Bai have not been used by the empress, which is a pity for the empress, and now Li Bai has entered Chang'an City for the third time, to seek justice for the princess of the Western Regions, the empress is even more displeased with Li Bai, so on the birthday, ask the minister to send poems, be sure to let this poem be sung through the ages, overpowering Li Bai, in order to show her ability.
Lin Dong listened to the discussion for a while, and the cause and effect were clear.
"Do you want me to recite a poem and kill them all?"
Lin Dong leaned into Wang Zhaojun's ear and said.
"Look over there."
Wang Zhaojun's eyes signaled, Lin Dong looked over, and there were two men sitting next to Wei Wu Cao Cao, both dressed in white, with a good demeanor, one heroic and the other heroic.
"If I'm not mistaken, these two should be one is Cao Pi, the other is Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi who became a poem in seven steps, that is, the talent of the world is a stone, and he monopolizes Cao Zhi of eight buckets, this kind of humanities is brilliant, blurted out, we should wait and see what happens."
Wang Zhaojun whispered.
Lin Dong glanced at Cao Zhi twice and remembered Cao Zhi in his heart.
Everyone has their own seats, and on the table in front of you there are also melons and fruits in Chang'an City, wine, and in their respective conversations, the empress came here.
There is a little eunuch singing list, and the kings and representatives of various places will send gifts, and the empress will choose one or two among the treasures of the Tang Dynasty as a return gift.
What Wang Zhaojun gave to the empress was gold, silver and jewelry, and what the empress returned to Wang Zhaojun was the cotton and linen silk that Beiyi lacked.
Wait until the gifts and return gifts are all in place, in this Shanglin Garden, the song has long been singing, dancing and dancing, Yang Yuhuan, who is famous in Chang'an City, Gongsun is away from this time a person plays the pipa, a person dances on it, and its appearance is enough to compete with the flowers.
"The clouds want clothes, the flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon."
"If it weren't for the Jade Mountain, I would meet Yaotai under the moon!"
An Lushan walked out among the ministers, recited a poem, and said: "The ministers watched this situation and this scene, and specially made a poem on the spot to praise the beauty of my emperor's prosperous age!" ”
An Lushan has a huge body and an ugly face, and he looks like a rough man, but he never thought that he would have such a delicate mind and be able to make such beautiful verses.
Yang Yuhuan flicked the fingers of the pipa, feeling a little discordant.
"Good!"
When Wu Zetian heard this, he immediately smiled, and said: "I didn't expect you to be ugly and careful, and you could make such poems, like this, I thought that no one could make them except Li Bai...... Reward! ”
Command the left and right, let the left and right reward An Lushan with the gold and silver that have been prepared long ago.
An Lushan stood in the middle of the scene, his face was arrogant, and he calmly accepted Wu Zetian's reward, as if this poem was really made by him.
"Damn!"
Lin Dong looked at An Lushan and saw the word "shameless" on his ugly face.
"Your Majesty."
Di Renjie stepped forward, hesitated, and said: "Actually, this poem was made by Li Bai, and it is not you who depicts it, but Yang Yuhuan who plays the pipa over there, An Lushan happened to hear it, and spent twenty gold to buy this poem......
Li Yuanfang's ears can hear everything in Chang'an City, An Lushan can't hide this kind of thing from Li Yuanfang, so he can't hide it from Di Renjie, at this time, hearing An Lushan so showy, Di Renjie naturally can't let the empress be deceived, so he debunked it.
The empress's face was indeed gloomy.
When this hundred states came to celebrate her birthday, there was such a basket, and the empress couldn't let go of her face.
"Pull An Lushan down, beat him heavily, and deal with it until noon tomorrow."
The empress immediately ordered the guards to push An Lushan out.
An Lushan is a thick-skinned person, even if he is beaten until tomorrow afternoon, he will not hurt his life, but this kind of injury is enough for him to remember for a lifetime.
An Lushan looked at Di Renjie hatefully, and was carried away by the guards all the way, without a word of rebuttal, and after a while, the sound of playing the board came in from outside.
"The Empress."
Cao Cao saw An Lushan being dragged out, stepped forward and said, "If the empress likes poetry, why don't you let my son chant a few poems for the empress to congratulate her on her birthday?" ”
"Oh?"
Wu Zetian looked at Cao Cao and asked, "The son of King Wu is good at chanting poetry?" ”
"My child, seven steps and a poem."
Cao Cao asked Cao Zhi to walk out and said to the empress: "If the empress doesn't believe it, we can bet that if my son recites a poem in seven steps, the empress will drink a drink, and if my son does not make a poem in seven steps, then I will punish a pot of wine, how about it?" ”
Wu Zetian got up, looked Cao Cao and Cao Zhi up and down, simply held the wine jug in one hand and the wine glass in the other, and said: "This is very good, I hope the son of Meng De can make me drink a pot!" ”
"My son composes poems, why don't your majesty want to drink a pot!"
Cao Cao laughed.
