Chapter 464 Rehe Palace (2)

The matter of entering the palace was just a matter of the Dharmakaya, Shang A, who needed to take a photo and decide which door they could enter from. Why did they have to come to the door in person to meet us?

It would be fine if I just came to ask questions, but if the introduction letter was in trouble, it would be as Xiaojiu said and ran away.

Pu Zixuan couldn't help but feel irritated, but now that things have come to this point, there is no way out, so he has to bite the bullet and go there with Chen Shuqing.

At this time, a bloated body and bald head, she looked like an old man in his fifties last year was standing at the door. When he saw Pu Chen and the others, a smile like Maitreya Buddha was squeezed out on his face.

As Shadali said, this Dharmaman Shanga was a kind person. Judging from his appearance, he had kind eyes and was unconsciously attracted to him in his first impression.

"Haha, two scholars, I am the great steward of the Rehe Palace - Fashi Shanga." After introducing himself, the Fashi Shanga asked again, "I have never heard of what you said about coming to this palace to write a poem about Dingjing. I wish I had never heard of it. How dare you ask what happened?"

Seeing that the Dharmakaya came just to understand the matter itself, Pu Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief, but he still breathed a sigh of relief, so he continued to stay because he didn't know how to deal with it smartly.

Chen Shuqing first responded with a smile, and then pretended to be a pride of a literati and said: "It's right for the butler to not know. Now that the Qing Dynasty is prosperous and the people are safe, the emperor and the empress dowager are concerned about the world, and they believe that the Manchu and Han should be together. They secretly issued an edict to select scholars and scholars from all over the world to write Chinese landscape poems for the scenery of Chengde Summer Resort, so as to achieve the goal of connecting Manchu and Han cultures. Although this matter is so awesome and contributions have been made for generations, before the event is completed, in order to prevent some people with ill-hearted intentions from taking advantage of the issue and disrupting the hearts of our people, it has been carried out through secret channels. If the butler has any doubts, he can raise it to Shuntian Prefecture, and even report directly to the emperor in the capital to understand the situation."

Chen Shuqing was so confident, because he had already had a scythe to escape and had no worries. Secondly, he heard that the guards happened to have a painter entering the palace to paint for the scenery yesterday, which made the reason for the two people entering the palace today more credible.

After hearing this, the Dharma Shang A couldn't help swallowing his saliva and smiled, "Hehe, how dare you disturb the emperor? That, I don't doubt the identities of the two of you... But, you came alone with the introduction letter from Shuntian Mansion, and it is inevitable that you will look a little thin. But if I ask Shuntian Mansion about the situation, even if I whip up, I will not be able to fight back and forth within two or three days, for fear of delaying everyone's precious time... Why don't you think about it, can you give some more convincing proof?"

After saying that, the Fashi Shanga smiled all over his face, and his eyes could not be narrowed into two slits.

It seems that this Father Shanga did not have any doubts about the letter of introduction, but no matter how he looked at the expression, it seemed to be implying something.

Shadali said that although the Dharmakaya was kind to others, he was also a person who loved money. Although this move did not bring some benefits to him, it was nothing more than testing the benefits of this matter. Chen Shuqing smiled and said, "Do you know why we are so familiar with your name?"

After hearing this, the Fashi Shang A was stunned for a moment, but smiled and said, "Oh? Why did you talk about this?"

Chen Shuqing had already prepared a speech about "tailoring" for the Dharmakaya Shang'a. Seeing that the time had come, he shook out: "When I received the task in Shuntian Mansion, the chief clerk of the affairs in charge talked to me about you, saying that since the great Dharmakaya Shanga managed Chengde Summer Resort, although he had managed all the affairs in an orderly manner, he had only made no mistakes and did not make any major contributions. This time, the emperor sent painters and scholars to Chengde to avoid it.

It is also a test for you to do some beautification work in the summer resort. If you can do this well, make the cultures of the Manchu and Han ethnic groups complement each other and consolidate my Qing regime, you will definitely be rewarded when you are happy. Grand steward, although I am a Han Chinese, I still have a little understanding of Manchu culture. The name of your Dharma Shanga means "a person with meritorious deeds" in Manchu language. If you miss this opportunity to make achievements, wouldn't it be a pity?"

The Fashi Shang's words in his heart were impressed by Chen Shuqing, and he was stunned again and said with a smile: "So, I wonder if you have any accomplishments in literature? Can I make this merit?"

After hearing this, Pu Zixuan felt nervous. He thought that Chen Shuqing still had some literary attainments and was not afraid of being tested. However, he had been a playboy for many years and did not like reading, so he retreated: "As the saying goes, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. The butler is not in his early twenties, but I have traveled most of the great rivers and mountains of the motherland in person. Sichuan Leshan Giant Buddha, Hangzhou West Lake, Jiangxi Lushan, Henan Songshan, and Shandong Laoshan have all left my footprints and many poems, especially in Shaolin Temple in Songshan. I followed Abbot Huiyuan for many years and learned about Buddhist knowledge. Our Chengde Summer Resort is rich in Buddhist temples, which is exactly what I have to do with my strengths."

Pu Zixuan finished his work and did not give Fashi Shang'a time to react. He immediately kicked the ball to Chen Shuqing and said, "As for this girl..."

Chen Shuqing immediately understood what Pu Zixuan meant and took the initiative to answer: "It's useless to say more, why don't the butler asks a question to test himself?"

The Dharma Master Shang A looked at Chen Shuqing up and down, then looked back at a seven-character quatrain engraved above the main gate of Lizhengmen and said, "How about you comment on this poem of Dingjing written by Emperor Gaozong for Lizhengmen?"

Chen Shuqing followed the instructions of the Dharma Shang A and looked up, and saw that the wall was written:

Yancheng Piyou Gujin Tang,

The door of the slap opens towards Wuyang.

The new title of the two-character word "Lizheng",

Che Shuheng meets the world.

Although it was the first time Chen Shuqing saw this poem, he heard that the author of this poem was Emperor Gaozong, and he knew that it was written by Emperor Qianlong, and he had already looked down upon it in his heart.

The longest-lived emperor in Chinese history wrote 40,000 poems in his life, but he did not leave even one of them remembered by the world, which is enough to demonstrate his low literary attainments. Moreover, it is precisely because of his remote poetry that he suffered a great loss in front of Zhang Dahui's "Boyss".

Now he "meets on a narrow road" with Qianlong's poem, Chen Shuqing almost couldn't help laughing.

On her lips, she still said seriously: "Since it was the poem of Dingjing written by Emperor Gaozong for Lizhengmen, it was already a work of nature. How could it make us ordinary people comment?"

The Dharma Master Shanga said with a smile: "Miss is such a bad thing. When Emperor Gaozong was alive, he often treated wise men and scholars, invited scholars from all over the world to comment on his poems and even criticize him. We only talk about the poem itself, and the girl can speak up with confidence. Otherwise, Emperor Wenzong had already written poems about the many scenery inside the villa. Why should he invite an expert to come and add another masterpiece today?"

With the words of the Dharma Master Shang A, Chen Shuqing said with peace of mind: "Okay, then I will explain this poem first. The meaning of this poem by Emperor Gaozong is: The tall and magnificent city wall of Chengde Mountain Resort is as strong as a pond in Jincheng. Open the door and facing the sun at noon, and I saw the celestial bodies swaying and distant, making people feel heroic. Use the word "Lizheng" to write a new name to the main entrance of the villa, indicating that the court is willing to be with the ethnic groups on the border.

Live in harmony and hope that the country will last forever, be unified and prosperous. The first two lines of the poem describe the scenery, the third sentence points the topic, and the last sentence lyricism can be said to be completed in one go, and the momentum is bold and bold." After the interpretation, Chen Shuqing couldn't help but say something in his heart: "Among the many poems of Emperor Gaozong, this poem is considered a masterpiece. But if I were to write it, the last two lines would be like this: 'The car and calligraphy are always written outside the wall, and the great achievements of the future are gathered in all directions'."

If it weren't for the purpose of gaining the trust of the Dharmakaya Shang'a and praising merits for a person who was more than ten years younger than him, Chen Shuqing himself felt disgusted.

But this kind of praise was very helpful to the Dharmakaya. He smiled with satisfaction and said to the two: "The two are indeed some real talents and knowledgeable people. Since that's the case, please ask them to follow me into the palace and stay in the palace for a few days. I will take you to visit various scenic spots in person and strive to add another excellent work to my villa."
