Chapter 192: King Teng's Pavilion is prefaced
The banquet in King Teng's Pavilion continued, and Lin Ye did not disturb Wang Bo anymore, but sat there quietly drinking fine wine, waiting for Wang Bo to shine.
The feast is in full swing.
The protagonist Yan Dudu came on the stage, said some polite words, and finally pointed out the main point.
In the fourth year of Tang Yonghui (653), Li Yuanying, the king of Teng, served as the governor of Hongzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, and built a pavilion in Hongzhou named "Tengwang Pavilion".
In the second year of the Tang Dynasty (675), Yan Boyu, the governor of Hongzhou, rebuilt the Tengwang Pavilion.
Today, the rebuilding of the Tengwang Pavilion was completed, and the governor of Yan invited the literati of Benzhou to come to the banquet and make a note to describe this grand event.
It's a bit similar to a tourist attraction in modern times when it's completed and opens for business, inviting some writers to collect poems to commemorate this event.
Yan Dudu spoke, and the guests present were enthusiastic and began to meditate, and some even stood up and walked back and forth, walked to the attic railing, and looked at the beautiful scenery on the river to find inspiration.
After a while, someone made a poem, which attracted applause from the audience.
I dare to be the first to recite it, I think it was prepared before I came, and I am quite confident in myself, and the quality of this poem is indeed not bad.
Lin Ye can understand these literati, after all, not everyone is like Cao Zhi, who can write poems in seven steps, and some poems will be so-called improvisation, but I am afraid that many of them have started to think about it a day in advance, or show the poems that they usually write with inspiration on the same day.
Throwing bricks and leading the way, that's just a polite statement, the more you are the first to perform, the more confident you are in yourself.
As the first literati recited the poems, and then several others also wrote their "improvised" poems, Lin Ye had to sigh, in the end, it was a literati who could participate in the banquet of Yan Dudu, the poems written were all excellent, and he had never heard of some allusions.
Lin Ye paid attention to Wang Bo and found that Wang Bo lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and at the same time, he also found an interesting phenomenon, that is, this Yan Dudu looked at Wang Bo several times at the banquet.
As the governor of a city, there were no less than thirty literati present, and Wang Bo was sitting in the corner, so it stands to reason that he should not attract the eyes of this governor of Yan so many times.
"You are all talented people in my Hongzhou City, many officials have an impression, so the judgment will inevitably be unfair, the official has an idea, you can write down the poems and articles, the official looks at the masterpieces you write behind the screen, to select a ranking."
"Yan Gong's words are fair."
"It is worthy of Yan Gong, and what he thinks about is thoughtful."
A servant brought a screen from the side hall, and the maid put away the wine on the long table, and spread the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Lin Ye: ......
Wang Bo glanced up at Lin Ye, Lin Ye was a little embarrassed, it was not his fault that he was handsome.
"Seeing that Brother Lin is not in a hurry, I think he has a good heart."
Wang Bo gave Lin Ye a place, the corner of Lin Ye's mouth twitched, I don't have a heart, I know that no one present can write about you, let alone write an article, just watching the excitement is naturally relaxed.
"I'm just here to have a good time, but I don't plan to write an article, Brother Zi'an is talented, let's leave it to Brother Zi'an to show."
Lin Ye stood up very consciously and gave the long table to Wang Bo, and it was also an exciting thing to be able to witness the release of King Teng's Pavilion Order for the first time.
Wang Bo was not polite, spread the paper on the long table, grinded and picked up the brush, looked at it for a while, and then began to write.
"Autumn Denghong Mansion Tengwang Pavilion Farewell Order"
"Yuzhang Ancient County, Hongzhou New Mansion."
"Good!"
Lin Ye couldn't help but cheer when he saw the first sentence that was the same as the preface of King Teng's Pavilion that he had learned.
As soon as this sound came out, Wang Bo's hand shook in fright, and a few drops of ink fell on the paper, Lin Ye was very distressed when he saw it, and the people at the next table heard Lin Ye's applause, and they all gathered around curiously.
"Yuzhang Ancient County, Hongzhou New Mansion, what's so good about this, isn't it just the name of the place?"
"Pretend to be surprised, do you understand the article?"
Facing the questioning of the onlookers, Lin Ye's expression was a little embarrassed, these two sentences are really not good, but the back is wonderful, he looked at Wang Bo at the moment, Wang Bo also glanced at Lin Ye with a strange expression, stabilized the tip of the pen, and continued to write: "The stars are divided into wings, and the ground is connected to Henglu." The three rivers and the five lakes are controlled, and the Ouyue is controlled. Wuhua Tianbao, the ruins of the dragon light shooting bull fight; Outstanding people, Xu Ru went down to Chen Fan's couch. ”
When this paragraph was written, the expressions of the onlookers changed, from the initial disdain to a serious expression.
"Xiongzhou fog column, Juncai Xingchi. At the turn of the summer of Taihuang Pillow, the guests and hosts enjoy the beauty of the southeast. The Yawang of the Governor of Yan Gong, the halberd is far away; Yuwen Xinzhou's Yifan, the curtain is temporarily stationed. Ten days off, winning friends like clouds; Thousands of miles to welcome, full of friends. Teng Jiao Qifeng, the word sect of Master Meng; Purple Electric Green Frost, General Wang's arsenal. The family is slaughtered, and the road is famous; How do you know that the boy is victorious. ”
Immediately afterwards, Wang Bo became a succession and wrote these sentences in a row.
All the onlookers gasped.
This article, this content......
Lin Ye looked at the dumbfounded expressions of the onlookers, and smiled secretly in his heart, this was shocking, and the more shocking was still to come.
If the first part of the preface to King Teng's Pavilion belongs to the majestic atmosphere, then the next part of Wang Bo will use this article to express the plot and inspirational words, I am afraid that you will be shocked to death.
"But someone writes good articles?"
Yan Dudu behind the screen also knew the movement outside from the mouth of his subordinates, and immediately a subordinate came over and transcribed the content written by Wang Bo on the side and passed it to Yan Dudu.
"Ten days off, winning friends like clouds; Thousands of miles away, full of friends, so good'!"
Yan Dudu's hearty laughter came from inside the screen, and the next moment Lin Ye saw Yan Dudu walking out from behind the screen and walking towards Wang Bo's table.
"The plot is wrong."
Lin Ye looked at Yan Dudu who came out, according to historians, this Tengwang Pavilion banquet was actually Yan Dudu's order to support his son-in-law, but there was a Wang Bo to stir up the situation, even if Yan Dudu wanted to praise his son-in-law, but under Wang Bo's Tengwang Pavilion preface, there was nothing to do.
In the face of the absolute literary disparity, power is invalid.
Although this article is good, but before it has reached the best place, this Yan Dudu gave up?
At this time, Wang Bo turned a blind eye to the situation around him, and his eyes were only on the paper in front of him, which was like a spring, and he worked hard to write.
"The time is September, and the order belongs to the third autumn. The water is exhausted and the cold pool is clear, and the smoke is condensed and the twilight is purple. Riding on the road, visiting the scenery in Chong'a...... The clouds are gone, and the color is bright. Luoxia and lonely birds fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky. The fishing boat sings at night, ringing on the shore of the poor Peng Li; The geese were frightened, and the sound broke the pool of Hengyang. ”
"Whew! Bad luck and bad fate. Feng Tang is easy to be old, and Li Guang is difficult to seal. Qu Jiayi is in Changsha, not without a holy lord; Channeling Liang Hong in the sea song, is there a lack of bright time? The gentleman who relied on saw the opportunity and knew his fate. When you are old and strong, you would rather move the heart of the white head; Poor and strong, do not fall into the ambition of the clouds......!
"Bo, three feet of life, a scholar ......"
Hiss!
Lin Ye could already hear the gasps of many literati at the scene.
Wang Bo's preface to King Teng's Pavilion completely shocked them, although this article was not written by himself, Lin Ye had a sense of honor.
"This ...... This article is amazing. ”
"Famous for eternity, will be famous for eternity!"
There was an old man who was already excited, and his body was trembling.
"It is okay to die at night, to be able to see a peerless article come out, and you can see it with your own eyes, and the old man dies without regrets."
"Congratulations to Governor Yan, congratulations to Governor Yan, for this good article, today's feast will surely last for a hundred years."
There are also people who reacted quickly after being shocked, and they slapped Yan Dudu on the back first.
This article mentions Yan Dudu, and such an article will inevitably be famous through the ages, so as Yan Dudu, who held this banquet, will inevitably follow for centuries.
That's the charm of poetic essays.
Just like Li Bai's gift to Wang Lun, as well as Master Cen and Dan Qiusheng in "Will Enter the Wine", what these people did was to invite Li Bai to eat and drink, so their names were known to later generations along with Li Bai's poems.
In addition, Yan Dudu is different from these passers-by, Yan Dudu is a big official, and the historical records can be queried, as soon as people talk about the preface of King Teng's Pavilion, they will definitely mention the organizer Yan Dudu, and the descendants of Yan Dudu can even rely on this to eat.
Of course, the ancients may not have thought that far, but Lin Ye knew that there were indeed some such people in reality, because their ancestors had a close relationship with a celebrity, and it happened that if this celebrity had no descendants, these people would serve as docents of the celebrity's former residence or something, and they could also live a very nourishing life.
Yan Dudu was very happy, and when Wang Bo finished the entire preface to King Teng's Pavilion, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, it's really a good article, such a literary style must not be a nameless person, dare to ask the little brother's name?" ”
"Wang Zi'an, Longmen people."
"But that prodigy Wang Bo in the capital?"
Some people in the crowd exclaimed, and then some people even read, "Didn't you write the prince An who sent Du Shaofu to Shuzhou?" ”
"There is a confidant in the sea, if the end of the world is next to each other, this poem The old man has been hanging in the study to enjoy it back and forth."
Listening to the words of the people around him, Wang Bo said very modestly: "If there is no second prince An, it is under the line." ”
"Sure enough, it's a great writer, I can see it today, and I'm still famous."
Lin Ye looked at Wang Bo who was surrounded by everyone, but his attention fell on the Yan Dudu, Yan Dudu was very happy, yes, but Lin Ye always had a feeling that this Yan Dudu was not particularly excited, and he had already expected this scene in advance.
And then of course, everyone flattered Wang Bo and Yan Dudu, the maidservants put fruit and wine on the table again, and a group of literati began to drink and have fun, shuttling among the beautiful maids......
Lin Ye could only sigh when he looked at this scene, he was really a wandering wreck.
Let's just follow the locals.
……
……
After the lunch banquet.
"Governor, Zi'an still wants to go to Jiaozhi to visit his father, so he will leave first."
"I still want to keep Wang Gongzi for a few more days, but Pepsi is good first, since Wang Gongzi is going to visit his father, the governor of Pontus will not stay."
Yan Dudu personally sent Wang Bo on the ship, and then a servant sent a letter to be wrapped around the ship, and Wang Bo did not refuse, this was the pen fee.
The boss of the boat began to row, watching the ship get farther and farther away from the Tengwang Pavilion, until it finally disappeared into the distance by the river, and the smile on Yan Dudu's face also disappeared.
"Master, that old fairy is really like a god."
"What a fairy, but ......"
Yan Dudu stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, and said after half a sound: "But since a deal has been reached with the Governor of Bendu, the Governor of Bendu cannot be untrustworthy, and he ordered the Yamen to prepare a worship ceremony, well, it is said that the water is flooding this autumn, and the Governor of Bendu will worship the river god and ask for a good weather for the people of Hongzhou." ”
"Okay, let's do it for the little ones."
……
……
On the boat that had already gone away, Wang Bo looked at Lin Ye who appeared in front of him, and was a little surprised.
"How could Brother Lin be on my ship?"
"If I don't go on your ship, I'm afraid your life will be in danger soon."
Lin Ye's words made Wang Bo stunned: "Why did Brother Lin say this? ”
"You said that you met the fairy uncle yesterday and let you come to Hongzhou in a thousand days and make a famous article, why did the fairy uncle send you to Hongzhou, and it happened that Yan Dudu held a banquet in Tengwang Pavilion? Was it just that coincidental? ”
Lin Ye looked at Wang Bo playfully, Wang Bo showed a thoughtful look on his face, and after half a sound, he said: "What does Brother Lin mean, this fairy uncle and Yan Dudu are ......."
"One asks for fame through the ages, and the other asks for incense offerings, but everyone gets what they get."
Wang Bo understood what Lin Ye meant, and said: "I understand what Brother Lin meant, that Yan Du Governor rebuilt the Teng Wang Pavilion, and asked for an article to be famous through the ages, and the fairy old man wanted to use Yan Du Du to get the incense of the people of Hongzhou, but this is a win-win situation, and I can also use the magic power of the fairy old man to see my father as soon as possible." ”
"I'm afraid that you won't see your father, so you can only be planted in this river."
When he was in school, Lin Ye also joked with his classmates that most of those artists were poor during their lifetimes, and their works were only sought after after their deaths.
If these artists were still alive, then their works would not be unique, and the merchants would not dare to speculate, only the works of dead artists would be valuable.
The same applies to Wang Bo.
The preface to the Pavilion of King Teng is undeniably a peerless article, but the undeniable point that gives the Preface of King Teng the Pavilion to be sought after by future generations of readers is that Wang Bo died young, and the Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng became the last sound of Wang Bo.
But this is just the icing on the cake for that Yan Dudu, Wang Bo's life and death have nothing to do with him, but someone is greedy.
Seeing that Wang Bo had a three-zhang tall literary aura behind him at this moment, to be honest, Lin Ye felt that he was also tempted.
Confucian Wenqi is a very special energy, which can be transformed into merit, incense offerings, and spiritual power.
This is from the beginning of Dong Zhongshu's proposal for the unification of heaven and man, and the Confucian style also has this characteristic, and it can be respected by a hundred schools of thought at the beginning.
PS: I took my daughter-in-law to check during the day today, and I checked it for a day, and it was delayed, and there will be an update in the early morning.
