Chapter 57: The Son of Heaven's Will
Jade Hall.
At this time, there were two bamboo slips before Liu Hong's case, which were presented by Jian Shuo.
The bamboo slips are not imperial government affairs, but two poems.
Although he was not born as a prince, he was not without literary attainments.
In fact, he not only learned the scriptures, but also knew how to resign, and once wrote 50 chapters of the "Huangxi Chapter".
This is also why he was able to come up with Hongdu Sect, and it is also the reason why he reused Cai Yong.
His ability to appreciate poetry is even higher than that of many great Confucians.
"This poem is a masterpiece of excellence." After watching "Appreciating Peaches with Wang Zuowu's Family", he put down the bamboo slips, looked at Jian Shuo and nodded with satisfaction.
Jian Shuo knew what he liked, and often looked for some words, or found something interesting to present to him to read.
The quality of the first of the two poems he found this time was enough to satisfy him.
"Who wrote this poem?" He then asked.
"Yang Ming." Jian Shuo replied.
Liu Hong was stunned when he heard this, picked up the bamboo slip and looked at it again, and then couldn't help laughing: "I said that Yang Ming is a brave general, but I didn't expect him to have such literary attainments. ”
He already liked Yang Ming, otherwise he would not make an exception to give Yang Ming the title of marquis, knowing that this poem was written by Yang Ming, he was even more happy.
After complimenting, he picked up the second poem.
Soon, his smile faded into disobedience, replaced by a look of surprise.
After reading it a few more times, he unconsciously stood up.
"Isn't this song "Climbing the Mountain with Hua Xin After Drinking" also made by Yang Ming?" When he came back to his senses, he turned to Jian Shuo and asked.
Jian Shuo nodded.
"Talent! No, Wizards! Liu Hong said excitedly.
The first poem is good enough, but the second goes beyond.
If the first poem is designated as a "masterpiece", then the second poem is simply a "quatrain for the ages"!
And why is it called a great talent first, and then a genius, the big is because of the quality of the poems, and the genius is because the two poems have very different styles, but they are both from Yang Ming.
It must be known that even if a great writer like Cai Yong has his own personal style when writing words, Yang Ming can grasp it at the same time, and he is really a genius in the world.
"The sun is at the end of the mountain, and the Yellow River flows into the sea." After Liu Hong finished speaking, he couldn't help but read it out.
It was as if at this time, in front of him, there was the sun gradually sinking into the mountains, and the Yellow River rushing towards the East China Sea.
Then he unconsciously raised his head and read: "If you want to be poor, go to the next level." ”
At this time, he looked heroic, as if there was a majestic aura echoing around his body.
"Wonderful, wonderful!" He clapped his hands and laughed at the end.
Jian Shuo was also happy at this time.
Poetry, naturally, Yang Ming asked him to present it, he didn't know much about poetry, he just thought it was catchy, but he didn't expect it to make Liu Hong so happy.
"Jian Shuo, you did a good job, very good, I am really lucky to see such verses today!" Liu Hong laughed and sat down.
"Your Majesty's Ninety-Five, the world's fortunate things belong to Your Majesty." Seeing this, Jian Shuo knelt down and praised.
Liu Hong became more and more happy when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Zhu Jian and asked, "I remember that I have recruited Yang Ming into the Lang Office before, where is he at this time?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Yang Ming is Langzhong in Shizhong Temple at this time." Jian Shuo replied truthfully.
As soon as Jian Shuo said this, Liu Hong suddenly remembered what happened a few days ago.
Originally, with Yang Ming's resume, he must have gone to Shangshutai to be Shangshulang when he entered the Lang Bureau.
However, Cao Jie persuaded him at that time, and the reason was not complicated, Yang Ming and the eunuchs did not deal with each other, at this time, when he was competing for the key of Shangshutai, if Yang Ming was allowed to enter, it would be equivalent to an additional resistance out of thin air.
In addition, Cao Jie also told him that Yang Ming could not be allowed to participate in the battle of scriptures, Yang Ming's reputation is too high now, if he really led Jinwenjing to win the ancient scriptures, it would be equivalent to ruining their good deeds.
It's a pity, if it weren't for Yang Ming's constant disagreement with the eunuchs, he would have wanted to directly promote him to the post of councilor.
He couldn't help but pick up "Climbing the Mountain with Hua Xin after Drinking" and watched it again, and then sighed lightly, and then watched "Enjoying Peach with Wang Zuo's Family" again.
"Interesting." He spoke last.
Most of these other people write poems for lyricism, and most of the poems are famous for themselves.
Yang Ming is good, not only for himself, but also for others.
This fish eats both, and he is really a talent.
However, this made him curious about what kind of character could make Yang Ming attach to this poem, especially that Hua Xin.
The first poem may not be widely circulated, but the second poem is destined to be immortalized, belonging to the kind of quatrain "If I could, I would like to join it".
"Who do you know about this Wang Zuo and Hua Xin?" He turned to Jian Shuo and asked.
Jian Shuo has always been a safe person to do things, and since he has dedicated this poem, he must have some understanding.
Sure enough, Jian Shuo immediately replied after hearing this: "According to the slave's understanding, Wang Zuo commented on Yang Ming's evaluation of Yingchuan Xun's Xun Yu. ”
Liu Hong nodded when he heard this, although he had never heard of this Xun Yu, but he was born in Yingchuan Xun, and there was nothing wrong with this poem.
"What about this Huaxin?" He then looked at Jian Shuo again, his face full of anticipation.
This Hua Xin must be much more famous than Xun Yu, but he has never heard of it, is it a new local family?
"Hua Xin was born in the plains of the Tang Dynasty." Jian Shuo replied.
Liu Hong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, Qingzhou Hua's family is a family, but it is not even a wang family.
"He once worshiped Ma Rong and Chen Qiu, and was the same door for Zheng Xuan, Lu Zhi and others."
But after Jian Shuo finished speaking, Liu Hong probably understood.
Because of Zhao Yan's death, he has heard about Yang Ming's apprenticeship with Zheng Xuan, which means that this Hua Xin is Yang Ming's uncle.
It turns out that this poem is a work of human affection.
It's not worth it, if I knew it was like this, it would be better to really let Yang Ming take him up the mountain after drinking.
"But is there anything else related to this Hua Xin?" Liu Hong asked unwillingly, at this time he already had a thought in his heart, "How can Hua Xin be virtuous".
"There is nothing else, Hua Xin also arrived in Luoyang not long ago, and at this time he is Shang Shulang in Shangshutai." Jian Shuo replied.
After listening to Jian Shuo's words, Liu Hong instantly reacted to Hua Xin as a disciple of the ancient scriptures selected by Cao.
In this way, things seem to get interesting, Yang Ming is a leader in the modern scriptures, and he is so good to a disciple of the ancient scriptures, especially in such a sensitive period.
This filled his curiosity instantly.
"Tell me about the recent things related to Yang Ming." He even beckoned Jian Shuo to come closer.
So, Jian Shuo knelt down in front of him and told him about the marriage between Yang Ming and Wang Yi, to the poetry of the peach in the Wushi Mountain, and the people who pretended to be disciples of the ancient scriptures, even including riding a red horse to save people, and gathering with many disciples of the ancient scriptures, as well as arguing with Yang Qi in the Shizhong Temple.
After listening to this, Liu Hong touched his chin thoughtfully.
Except for Taixue, he didn't know anything else.
In addition to lamenting Yang Ming's rich experience, he also easily captured a message: after returning from studying in Donglai, Yang Ming seems to have become inclined to the ancient scriptures.
This can be explained, because Zheng Xuan apprenticed to Ma Rong, and was still a scholar of ancient scriptures in essence.
So Yang Ming, as a child of a family of modern scriptures, never left Luoyang in his early years, just like the content of the ancient scriptures, trapped in the words of the family, but when he arrived in Donglai, after learning Zheng Xue, he found that the ancient scriptures were the avenue, so he changed his mind.
He also understands scriptures, where would he not know the trend of today's scriptures, and the big families of today's scriptures monopolize the court, so they are self-contained and resist emerging things.
If he could, he would like to physically eliminate all of these modern scripture families, not to mention that Yang Ming just changed his mind, which is not impossible.
If this is the case, then Yang Ming is now a disciple of the Ancient Wenjing, and he can let go of his hands and feet?
No, not necessarily.
He remembered what happened to Zhao Zhong before, although Lu Qiang brought back the definite news, he still had doubts about Yang Ming.
Because as a result, the eunuchs suffered a huge blow, and the scholars had a tendency to raise their heads.
Let's wait and see.
Since Yang Ming is already a Lang official, he will have to make trade-offs at many times, and he will naturally be able to see what he thinks more clearly.
If Yang Ming can really be used by him, it will naturally be the best thing.
First, the result of Taixue's discussion of the scriptures will become no suspense, and secondly, he really likes Yang Ming, but he is trapped in the status of a disciple of Yang Ming's family and does not want to reuse it.
And he remembered his Yang Shilai, Hongnong Yang had a disciple of the ancient scriptures, and he was still a scholar, and his Yang Shi didn't know how to feel.
At this moment, he suddenly saw Gao Wang looking anxious outside the hall, as if he was in a hurry.
He held out his hand and motioned for the other to come in.
Gao Wang walked in quickly, knelt on the ground and immediately said, "Your Majesty, something big has happened in Shizhong Temple!" ”
