Chapter 201: Luo Guanzhong and Gao Qi
The people outside the city were chaotic, and it was inconvenient to talk more, so Zhu Su got into the carriage and went to the famous building in Suzhou to catch the wind and wash the dust.
In the Deyue Building, Wei Guan had already chartered a private room, Zhu Su, Chang Mao, and Wei Guan sat as guests, and Gao Qi and Luo Guanzhong sat in the accompanying seats. After a polite moment, Wei Guan opened his mouth and asked, "When Fang was outside the city, he looked at His Highness's demeanor, could it be that he knew Guanzhong?" ”
"Yes, indeed. I have admired the daimyo for a long time. Zhu Su replied.
The so-called young don't read the Water Margin, and the old don't read the Three Kingdoms. As a veteran fan of the Three Kingdoms, how could he not know Luo Guanzhong?
From this point of view, this time, I can be regarded as seeing an idol.
It's just that, unlike the great writer in his impression, this Mr. Luo Guanzhong Luo has a rickety figure and a sad face, like an ordinary farmer who can be seen everywhere on the ridges, and he looks really unremarkably tight.
I thought that the writer who could write such a heroic masterpiece as the Three Kingdoms must also be a scribe like "how can my generation be a Penghao person". But I didn't want to, it turned out to be a weathered middle-aged man.
"How can such a thing be? Has the name of Guanzhong been passed to Beijing? I have been able to make friends with His Highness for a long time! Wei looked at Luo Guanzhong, twisted his beard and smiled.
"I don't know how to learn, and I don't dare to say that His Highness has admired him for a long time." Hearing Zhu Su mention himself, Luo Guanzhong didn't dare to slack off, and immediately got up: "The end of learning is just a blessing from heaven, and I am fortunate to be watched by His Royal Highness." ”
"The twelve volumes of "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" were only passed on to the world by the wrong love of His Highness. Thank you, Your Highness! After that, he took a deep look at Zhu Su.
"Oh! Look, I forgot! Your Highness continued to write the story of the Three Kingdoms, and you must have read your first twelve volumes of "Three Kingdoms". Then how can you not know you Luo Guanzhong? Wei Guan patted his head. It's strange that you came from Hangzhou to ask me to introduce you. ”
"I thought that you finally wanted to open up, and you were ready to make a career under the curtain of His Highness!"
"Don't dare, don't dare." Luo Guanzhong hurriedly bowed down. "After a lifetime of study, nothing has been accomplished, His Highness's talent is a hundred times better than mine, and I am qualified to give advice to His Highness."
"Let's just say that I wrote the first twelve volumes, and it took me several years to write them. For the later chapters, I only have a vague clue in my heart, but I have never been able to write. ”
"And His Highness has only learned the Heavenly Mandate, but in a few months, he has written the following that he has not been able to write after thinking about it for a long time, and its wonderful points are not inferior to the first twelve volumes."
Speaking of this, Luo Guanzhong's expression was excited, and his face no longer had the previous attitude of resignation. There were even more ripples in his eyes, and the color of admiration looked directly at Zhu Su.
After a moment, he sighed softly. "Alas. I am afraid that it is a big statement. Many of the plots in the volumes that His Highness has continued to write are the same as those I have painstakingly pondered over the years. ”
"But I have been thinking hard for several years, but His Highness has not been sluggish, and it has only been done in a few months."
"Sometimes there is always an illusion at the end of learning, as if I am always living in the shadow of His Highness's learning......"
"Ashamed, ashamed......"
Luo Guanzhong's face was self-deprecating, Rao is Zhu Su's face was as thick as a city wall, and his face was also slightly red at this moment.
The conscience of heaven and earth, I really didn't want to copy the Three Kingdoms at the beginning.
At first, he just told the story of the Three Kingdoms to his sister-in-law to amuse, but who knew that he was later listened to by the eldest brother Zhu Biao, and the eldest brother asked for something, and he couldn't help but tell it.
Later, I knew that Luo Guanzhong had already written the Three Kingdoms, and I had no scruples about using it again. Terrific claims to be seen unintentionally. But who knew that Luo Guanzhong's Three Kingdoms at this time only wrote the first twelve volumes?
There was no way, so I had to take the back of the chapters, saying that it was my own "continuation". Now being looked at by the main owner with such a gaze, how can there be no embarrassment?
In a few years, after Yang Shen and Tang Bohu are born, won't they feel that they are living in my shadow...... Zhu Su thought with some evil taste.
"Your Highness's talent is indeed rare in a hundred years." On the side, Gao Qi, who was sitting with him, also spoke.
"In my opinion, His Royal Highness is a sign of great prosperity in my Ming literary world!"
"I usually make some crooked words, but compared with His Royal Highness's "Linjiang Immortal" and "One Cut Plum", I really fall behind!"
"Qi has no other ambition in this life, but I wish to collect all the poems of my Ming Dynasty that are enough to pass on to the world, and collect them into one publication, so that the world knows that my Chinese literature and Taoism still exist. I have a great literary style, and I should not be weaker than the Tang and Song dynasties. ”
"Today, I am cheeky to ask for the recommendation of the Wei Governor's Mansion, and I only ask His Highness to have poems that have not been handed down, please take a look at them in the next place."
After saying that, he got up and bowed to Zhu Su, looking extremely sincere. Even Chang Mao, who took Wei Guan and Luo Guanzhong and ate wine by himself, looked at Zhu Su.
"Uh...... This, when he was in Beijing, he was concentrating on other things, and there was nothing new...... "Zhu Su found an excuse to avoid it.
"What other affairs can be more important than the revival of my Chinese literary world?" Gao Qi's face was incredulous: "With such a poetic talent, how can it be wasted on mundane affairs?" ”
"Otherwise, Your Highness can ...... a few sentences now"
Yes, this is another poetic idiot. finally fooled Fang Xiaoru into the direction of philosophy, and another Gao Jidi appeared......
Zhu Su looked embarrassed and was about to refuse, but Chang Mao next to him said, "Why don't Your Highnesses chant a word to him?" ”
"Aren't there a lot of poems along the way? What kind of car, what kind of horse, what kind of spring sleep......"
"Oh? Your Highness has traveled all the way, and if you have a good poem? Gao Qi's eyes lit up and he leaned out.
"Uh, it's all old poems of the ancients......" Zhu Su smiled embarrassedly, never expecting Chang Mao to make up for himself at this time. looked over with a resentful look, but saw Chang Mao's innocent face, and leisurely threw a grape into his mouth.
"Hehe, Your Highness, don't be angry." Seeing Zhu Su's reluctance, the prefect Wei Guan smiled and started a round. "This person is a literary idiot, and he only has poetry and articles, but he has no intention of offending His Highness."
"In the past, His Majesty was gracious and wanted to promote him to be a member of the household department. However, he resigned on the grounds that he was too heavy on secular affairs and could not concentrate on reciting poetry and writing. ”
"His heart just wants to revive my Huaxia Wenhua in the mess of Mengyuan. If His Highness has a word, say it and send him away, with his mouth, the Jiangnan literati who will be propagated will be known to everyone, and it can also let the world know the origin of His Highness's family. ”
"If not, then it doesn't hurt to ignore him, he is still broad-minded, but he will not hold grudges."
"It turned out to be a Coats." Zhu Su was suddenly in awe. "Mr. Gao's actions are a bit of 'I hope the old man dies in the wine room, and I don't want to bow in front of the carriage'!"
"'I hope that the old man will die in the wine room, and I don't want to bow in front of the carriage and horse'......" Gao Qi was suddenly shocked. Then he slammed the table:
"Wonderful, wonderful! His Royal Highness casually chanted, that is, it is a peerless poem! ”
"Compared with this sentence, the verses I usually write are really only worthy of burning the hearth!"
"Your Highness! I beg Your Highness to tell you in full poetry! If you can't smell it, you can barely get alive! ”
Gao Qi was very excited!
