Chapter 423: Two birds with one stone, four words are shocked

After listening to Zhao Kai's account in the palace, Emperor Daojun was so angry that he threw all the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone of the imperial book case to the ground.

"Bastard, bastard, this dick is too cunning, too cunning!"

After Emperor Daojun roared, he was silent for a moment and looked at Zhao Kai: "Third brother, can Qin Hui take out 200,000 taels of silver?" ”

Zhao Kai lowered his head and said: "Daddy, Qin Hui shouldn't be able to take it out, his father was just a county magistrate back then, and although he was corrected later, he only made a position as a county magistrate, he was originally a private school teacher, living on tuition fees, where did he get so much money." ”

Emperor Daojun said strangely: "The second child asked him to compensate 200,000 taels, where did he get it?" ”

Zhao Kai said: "Daddy forgot, this Qin Hui's wife is the granddaughter of Wang Qi, the prime minister of the Shenzong Dynasty, and he was named outside the Donghua Gate, and his son-in-law was arrested under the list, and there are 200,000 yuan just for the marriage!" ”

"I really forgot that Qin Hui is the son-in-law of the Wang family." Emperor Daojun looked thoughtful, but then he looked even worse, and reached out and slapped the table: "All have money, all have money, all are richer than me!" ”

Zhao Kai twitched his cheeks, bowed his head and didn't dare to speak, he knew that the treasury was short of money now, and the small treasury of Emperor Daojun was not good, although Cai Yu privately exercised the power of prime minister, built Xuan and Ku-style tribute, but where is it easy to loot, there have been wars in recent years, and the treasury in various places has long been empty, not to mention that Emperor Daojun spent a lot of money, which was incomparable to the previous emperors.

Emperor Daojun saw that he was silent, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more annoyed he became, and he wanted to lift the table, but this imperial book case was big and heavy, where could he lift it, his hands were raised a few times and he didn't raise it, so he had to give up, but he scolded in his mouth: "Corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they are all corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they have money to spend, but I have no money, what is the reason, what is the truth?" ”

Seeing this, Zhao Kai couldn't help but take two steps back, afraid that Emperor Daojun would ask him for money, although he was involved in some businesses in Tokyo, and the annual dividends were not thin, but the weekday expenses of the Yunwang Mansion were not small, and there were many people in the mansion, including dozens of concubines alone, and hundreds of Kabuki, and his life was no worse than that of Emperor Daojun, and his family always felt that the money was not enough.

"My money should be my money!" Emperor Daojun put his hands on the case and muttered to himself, looking angry and depressed.

At this moment, a little eunuch told him that Qin Hui was asking to see him outside.

Emperor Daojun immediately said angrily: "Get out, let him go, I don't want to see him." ”

The little eunuch was so frightened that he hurriedly ran to reply, and Emperor Daojun sat down on the dragon chair, looked at the pen, ink and paper scattered all over the place, and thought to himself, although this second brother is a bit of a jerk, but fortunately, he has given him money to spend several times, which is considered filial piety, and other princes have never given him a big son.

He thought, his eyes fell on the picture of the double geese flying south on the ground, this painting is not his proud work, he is good at peony gorgeous, flowers and birds are rich, painting this kind of bleak and slaughtering, the scenery of the south of the wild goose in autumn, there is always a little less taste, but this painting still has to overpower many masters outside, it is also a masterpiece.

Emperor Daojun was stunned for a while, and suddenly his eyebrows shrugged, and his expression moved slightly, this second child got a lot of silver for nothing, but he usually runs a simple house, what is the use of asking for this money?

He has only three or two concubines, there are no kabuki in the house, and there are very few servants and maids, at most some of the guards brought out of the palace that day, and I have never heard of him building any palace pavilions, and it is not easy to close the palace, this money ...... He can't spend this money!

Emperor Daojun touched his beard, the second child seemed to have said before that he lived a simple life and didn't spend much, so the money was ......

Although 200,000 taels is not too much, but it is not a lot, since he doesn't spend it, wouldn't it be a waste to put it in his hands?

Thinking of this, Emperor Daojun coughed lightly and said, "Third brother, do you say that the Night Pearl of the East China Sea really has something?" ”

Zhao Kai hurriedly said: "Daddy, you don't know the second brother yet, he is the best at talking nonsense, blackmail, where will there be any night pearl of the East China Sea, he just wants to knock Qin Hui's silver!" ”

"Oh, I see, that's ......" Emperor Daojun nodded, this is good, this is good, if he really loses valuables, then he is inconvenient to do, since it is just blackmail, then it might as well ......

"Third brother, go and preach the will to me, just say the words that King Qin filled in for the Shuangyan Nanfei map, I am very dissatisfied, I am very angry, is he fooling me? Let him come to the palace tomorrow, and fill in another poem for me, just fill it out well, so that he can avoid the sin of neglecting the king, if he doesn't fill it out well...... Then I will be punished! ”

Zhao Kai was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know what the emperor wanted to do, but this crime of neglecting the king was good, although it was difficult to punish heavily, but as long as it was punished.

Emperor Daojun thought to himself at this moment, as long as this second child came to fill in the words, no matter how well he filled in, his own family would not be able to call it bad, and then he would open his mouth to punish him, and he would be punished...... 200,000 taels of silver!

"Daddy, the second brother is still grounded." Zhao Kai reminded.

"Just get rid of his grounding for the time being, and let him come over early tomorrow!" Emperor Daojun waved his hand: "Go and pass the decree now." ”

Zhao Kai replied and walked out of the palace full of doubts......

Zhao Ta was sitting in the study, before Qin Hui asked people to send 200,000 taels of silver to the palace, but then Zhao Kai came to pass the decree, saying that he didn't need to continue to be grounded, and let him enter the palace tomorrow morning to fill in the words for the picture again, saying that he had not filled in well before, and had committed the crime of neglecting the king, and if he did not fill in well, he would be punished.

Zhao Ta touched his chin, what to fill in, he is not willing to fill in the lyrics, even if he fills in the song, he is now the grandmaster of the music family, and if he also fills in the lyrics, isn't it the prestige of the music family?

But it doesn't seem to work if you don't fill it in, and if you don't fill it out, you will be punished, where does this come from? And what to punish? Is there a penalty of three months? Or half a year?

Zhao Ta pondered for a long time, and he didn't understand what Emperor Daojun wanted to do, but he expected that there must be a plan in it, he didn't think that Emperor Daojun would spend a lot of money, even if Cai Xuan got a small private treasury, and last year he brought back so much silver and jewelry, all of them were squandered, and now he is already stretched......

Early the next morning, Zhao Ta asked someone to prepare a carriage and went straight to the imperial city.

Entered the palace gate, there was a small eunuch in front of him to guide the way, and it didn't take long to come to the front of the Yiqing Palace, but he heard some noise inside, and when he looked over, it turned out that some princes and emperors were there.

Zhao Ta was a little confused, if he said that he was judging the quality of his words, wouldn't he invite some people from the outside to come and see it? And if the punishment is lowered, shouldn't there be an official from above? This called the prince and the emperor, and a few little kids who were only five or six years old, what did they want to do?

When he entered the hall, he saw that Emperor Daojun was sitting upright, with no expression on his face, but a picture of two geese flying south was framed and hung on the pillar.

After seeing the ceremony, Emperor Daojun said "um", looked Zhao Ta up and down, and saw that the second child was still the same pampered and unfazed, and his joy and anger were invisible, and he was angry in his heart.

He didn't call everyone outside and the officials in the court to come today, because this thing was really a bit unauthentic, and the father lied to his son for money, and he was afraid that it would become a joke if others saw it.

And the officials are good to say, there are a lot of stunned young people in those words, in case the second child does a good job, and everyone stands up and tells the truth, it will not be easy to do.

As for calling some small ones, in fact, I want to teach them, use today's things to give them an example, let them know that when they have money in the future, they must first honor their father, otherwise their father will be unhappy, and you will not be able to keep this money.

Emperor Daojun thought about it, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone, and it is absolutely impossible for the second child to see through it.

He said lightly: "The second brother did a good thing yesterday!" ”

Zhao Ta blinked: "What does Daddy mean by this?" The child doesn't know. ”

"Humph!" Emperor Daojun snorted coldly: "Let me ask you, can Qin Hui's 200,000 taels of silver be sent to you?" ”

Well? Well! Zhao Ta immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and his heart moved, this is ...... Eyeing the 200,000 taels of silver?

Originally, he was going to fill in the first words indiscriminately and fool around in the past, what kind of punishment does it matter, just catch it, but now it doesn't work, the old man is running for his own money!

Then you can't fill in the words randomly, you have to fill in the head about the same, but in case...... No matter how good or bad your own fill in, what should the old man do if he can't say it well?

Then directly lowered the punishment and fined 200,000 taels of silver!

The key is that you can't pretend to be poor and say no, Qin Hui just sent over the money, and it's still hot!

Zhao Ta said: "Back to my father, Qin Hui sent it...... However, the night pearl of the East China Sea is a priceless treasure, and this amount of money is far from worth it. ”

Emperor Daojun took a look at him, I believe that you are a ghost, where did you come from the night pearl, you have a red mouth and white teeth and 200,000 taels is too little, it is really greedy!

He sneered, "What beads are worth so much?" ”

Zhao Ta sighed and said: "Daddy doesn't know, the child has a friend called Ma Ji, who once went overseas to do business, and then encountered wind and waves, the boat capsized and fell into the sea, but he didn't expect to be rescued by the princess of the Dragon Palace, and since then he has entered the East China Sea Crystal Palace and become the concubine of the Dragon King." ”

Emperor Daojun's face twitched, he is a believer in immortals, but you come with this mouth, it sounds like a story, how can it not be true!

I heard Zhao Ta continue: "My friend Ma Ji has lived in the Dragon Palace for a few years, and the Dragon King Princess gave birth to a son and a daughter to him, but he misses his homeland and always wants to come back to see, so the Dragon King of the East China Sea has a holiday with him, and then rushed home. ”

"The big night pearl ......" Emperor Daojun touched his beard: "Where is this Ma Ji now?" ”

Zhao Ta said: "I have returned to the East China Sea, and I am afraid that I will not be able to see it again in my lifetime, alas, so this bead is a priceless treasure, and it is also the sustenance of the child's thoughts on his friends." ”

"Erguo, this good story is so good, is there any ......?" a few small ones shouted next to them at this time, all with an expectant expression.

Zhao Ta's face immediately darkened when he heard this, what kind of mess, he didn't tell a story to play.

Emperor Daojun sank his face, since the little one knows that it is a story, it would be too stupid if he took it seriously, what does this second child mean, fool him like a child?

Emperor Daojun slapped the table and said in a cold voice: "Second brother, why did the words you fill in for me last time smell like fat powder, and they don't look like what you did?" ”

Zhao Ta shook his head and said: "Daddy, it's not a child's fat powder breath, it really can't be done well, the child was sick at the time, and it is understandable that the things written are soft and glutinous." ”

Emperor Daojun looked at him, and said for a long time: "Second brother, I'll fill in another poem today, if you write well, you won't be slack, and if you don't write well, you won't write well...... You will be punished! ”

Zhao Ta looked left and right, at this time, except for the crown prince Zhao Huan, everyone in the palace had arrived, even Zhao Kai was standing in the head, as if he was thinking about something.

Zhao Ta said: "Daddy, what is good and what is bad?" ”

At this moment, there are no outsiders in the hall, they are all a family, and Emperor Daojun is also embarrassed: "If I say it's good, it's good, and if I say it's bad, it's not good!" ”

Zhao Ta touched his chin when he heard this: "Daddy, don't you need to find a few people or the princess and let them identify it?" ”

"No, no, no!" Emperor Daojun said categorically: "What everyone, they are all vain people, as for the ...... of the court I may not be as proficient in poetry. ”

Zhao Tan squinted his eyes: "But Daddy, if the child fills in a hand-me-down, it will be passed on, and there must be a witness!" ”

"A masterpiece? Spread out? Emperor Daojun was slightly stunned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

"Exactly!" Zhao Ta said: "If a child occasionally gets a good work, it must be circulated outside, and it can't be passed down for thousands of years, there must be a witness. ”

"This ......" Emperor Daojun hesitated a little, Zhao Ta's poems do have many poems that can be handed down, but the way of poetry is more than meticulous, not the whole poem can be completed in a moment and a half, especially on the picture scroll to write poems and fill in the lyrics, is fixed in the picture, it is extremely difficult to produce a good product, since ancient times I have not heard any famous poems, it is made by looking at the picture.

"If no one witnesses the spread, then the child will not do it, and the father will punish him directly!" Seeing him hesitate, Zhao Ta couldn't help but speak.

Directly down the punishment? This is inappropriate, isn't this just Mingli asking for money? Emperor Daojun frowned when he heard this.

How can he ask for it like this, it must be the second child who does not do well and is punished, otherwise where will he put his own face? This second child doesn't play cards according to the routine, and he actually plays a bachelor's game, what a bastard!

Emperor Daojun muttered: "If you let people witness, but you can't say anything to me, I must say good or bad." ”

Zhao Ta hurriedly said: "This is nature, good or bad nature is said by my father, don't let them taste it, just be responsible for copying and circulating." ”

Emperor Daojun thought about it for a few more breaths, weighing the pros and cons in his heart, he couldn't fill in the good products when he watched the paintings, and called a few people, and they were not allowed to speak only to record, which should not delay anything, if he didn't call it, this second scoundrel just didn't write, but he couldn't handle it, and he was afraid that he would have to lose 200,000 taels of silver.

But if you really call it, you can't call those poets, and you can't call some ministers of the court, so who can you call?

"Second brother, who do you think is appropriate to call?" Emperor Daojun frowned.

"The child thinks it's ......" Zhao Ta made a look of embarrassment: "It's better to call Taixue to sacrifice wine Yang Shi to come over, and then call two Taixue students casually." ”

"Yang Shi?" Emperor Daojun thought about it, this person didn't talk much and only knew how to study knowledge, so he nodded: "Then call Yang Shi over, and then let him bring two students who are in charge of pen and ink at will." ”

When the eunuch went out to deliver the decree, Zhao Ta began to look at the picture of the two geese flying south hanging on the pillar, and his face was flushed with a trace of sadness.

Emperor Daojun looked at Zhao Ta's appearance and was secretly proud in his heart, this is filled in the words according to the picture scroll, where can he make any good things, and use words and sentences to echo the artistic conception in the painting, which itself is inferior, which is different from painting on poetry, there is a priority difference.

Zhao Kai locked his eyebrows on the side, he felt that things would not be so simple, the second child has always been scheming, and it is often unexpected, but he will not make any good words according to the painting and fill in the words, but why does the second child want to be recorded and circulated?

After a while, I saw Yang Shi entering the hall in a restrained manner, followed by two students.

The three of them saluted, Emperor Daojun said the general meaning, Yang Shi breathed a sigh of relief, originally thought that there was something important, but he didn't expect that it was just a record of the poems filled in by King Qin on the spot, which was really a trivial matter.

Emperor Daojun had already thought about it at this time, as long as the second child wrote the lyrics, he would immediately let the three get out of the way, and he would not let them listen to the punishment or anything, so that there would be no mistakes.

Yang Shi is a knowledgeable person, standing aside and looking at the painting, the more he looks at it, the more dignified his expression becomes, he knows that it is not easy to read the words of the painting, and he can hardly come up with good words, but why should he call his own testimony record?

The two students knew Zhao Ta, and they had seen it at the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting the year before last, one was Gao Deng, and the other was Chen Dong, but the two of them had different ideas from Yang Shi, and the two of them highly respected Zhao Ta's lyrics and songs.

At this moment, Emperor Daojun looked at Zhao Tan, and because there were foreign ministers, he changed his title and said, "King Qin, the hour has passed for a long time, and you can compose lyrics." ”

Zhao Ta nodded, and said politely: "The official's picture of the two geese flying south is too good, and the sons are afraid of being ugly." ”

Emperor Daojun was very happy when he heard this, and said in his heart, Do you know that you are going to sacrifice ugly? I'd like to see what you can fill in!

He said: "King Qin has to say more, fill in the words quickly!" ”

Zhao Ta said: "Yes, the son obeys the order." ”

At this time, not only all the princes and emperors in the palace looked at him, but even Yang Shi and Gordon Chen Dong also looked at him, Gordon held a pen and hung paper, and Chen Dong was holding an ink inkstone beside him, both of them were excited.

Zhao Ta turned around and looked at the picture again, and sighed lightly: "Erchen, just fill in the fish." ”

Touching the fish, the name of the word brand, also known as touching the fish roe, buying Pitang, Shuanghui resentment, Maipitang, mountain ghost ballads, has always been to Chao Buzhi's Donggao residence as the main body, double tone 16 words, the first paragraph of ten sentences 6 rhymes, the last paragraph of 11 sentences of seven rhymes, and another double tone of 14 words, 17 words and other variants.

This word card is common, not obscure, and everyone is silent at the moment, waiting for Zhao Ta to compose the lyrics.

I only saw that Zhao Ta lowered his head slightly, raised it again, and then opened his mouth and said:

Ask the world, what is love, and the direct religion promises life and death?

Yes?! Just one sentence, the whole hall was shocked, and Emperor Daojun stood up from his chair with a "huff", his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhao Ta in disbelief.

One sentence, only this one sentence, no matter what picture scroll is not a picture scroll, what should be intended or not, this sentence is already going to be passed down through the ages.

Yang Shi's shoulders trembled, and even his lips trembled, if he can make Taixue sacrificial wine, he must be a great talent in the world, but even if he has read a lot of Zhao Ta's poems, he knows that this King of Qin is literary and romantic, but he is still suppressed at this moment.

Gordon and Chen Dong were both red, obviously excited to the extreme, Gordon even trembled with his hand holding the pen, Chen Dong's arm trembled, and the ink splashed on his body without knowing it.

The princes and emperors, some of whom are older and have read books, are also stunned, Zhao Kai's face is as white as snow at the moment, he gasped for breath, took two steps back, and helped the big pillar in the hall, and his body stood firm.

Zhao Ta ignored everyone's expressions at the moment, but thought slightly, and then chanted again:

Ask the world, what is love, and the direct religion promises life and death? There are double flyers in the south and the north, and the old wings have been cold and hot several times. Happy and fun, parting bitter, there are even more crazy children. You should have said: Stratus clouds, thousands of mountains and twilight snow, who does the shadow go to?

Inside the main hall, there was silence, and Emperor Daojun opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word, only his throat kept rolling.

Zhao Ta walked a few steps in the hall, and after a moment of silence, he began to chant the second half of the rhyme again:

Hengfen Road, lonely when the drums, the smoke is still flat. The soul is a little more groaning, and the mountain ghosts are crying in the wind. The sky is also jealous, and the warblers and swallows are all loess. Through the ages, in order to stay for the people, he sang and drank wildly, and visited Yanqiu.

The needle drop could be heard, and for a full quarter of an hour no one spoke, and the Daojun Emperor sat back on the dragon chair, like a stone sculpture, and was motionless.

In the end, it was Zhao Ta who opened his mouth first: "Father, the son has already done it, and the father is ...... Do you think it's good, or is it good? ”

Emperor Daojun was silent, his face and lips were trembling, and even his beard was shaking.

Zhao Ta said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if my father doesn't say it well, this poem is bound to spread outside, spread all over the world, and spread to future generations for thousands of years...... Parlance. ”

"Speaking of what I say today?" Emperor Daojun's voice trembled a little, this word is excellent, it has been passed down to the world, I am afraid that it will be respected to an extremely high level.

He, dare to say that it is not good? If he doesn't say well, then what will today's readers, and future generations of readers, evaluate him? Do you say that he doesn't know poetry and books, has no talent for writing and ink, and doesn't know this amazing and brilliant "ask the world, what is love, and teach life and death to promise"?

He can't afford this reputation of being talentless, not reading, and not reading poetry and articles!

"Father, is this word good, or is it good?" Zhao Ta bowed deeply at this moment and asked Emperor Daojun respectfully.

The word...... Well, very good, really well done! Emperor Daojun opened his mouth hoarsely, his face was like ashes, and he seemed to have aged for more than ten years in an instant......
