Chapter 41: Selected Poems(1/2)

During the Double Ninth Festival, the autumn weather is clear and refreshing.

In the afternoon, Wanqi Army from the Privy Council was ordered to go to pick up Zhao Guan's family, but before he could leave the camp, his colleague Hu Hongxiu followed him and asked a little, he found out that it was Lu Yihao, the words of Lu Caogong Lu, who had become true before Nanjing fell and the news reached the southeast. Li Gang and Li Gongxiu immediately sent the central army of the imperial camp to the front line. As a result, the troops had mutiny before they crossed the river. The commander king also directly left the command and forcibly occupied Jiangning Prefecture, and led troops to plunder. Li Gang had no choice but to try to quell the rebellion first.

The news was just delivered at this time, but I don’t know what the situation is now.

Let’s say that this kind of bad news is like the siege of Tokyo before. It is mentally prepared, but in fact, after it comes, it still makes people feel powerless. Wan Qicheng and Hu Hongxiu discussed it, and they are always worried, but they can’t help but speed up and prepare to speak early and listen to the official.

However, when the two rushed to Yu Mountain with all their hearts and responsibilities, they did not see the Zhao family's concern for the country and the people as Wang Shu reminded him. On the contrary, the official was wearing casual clothes and enjoying pleasure on the top of the mountain. On the left was a favorite concubine in military uniform, and on the right was a Ci minister raising his glass to drink. Even the confidant general bent his body and he took off his helmet to accompany him, without any regulations.

If you borrow a famous poem by Gao Changshi of the Tang Dynasty, as the saying goes, "The warriors' army have died in life and death, and the beauty still sings and dances under the tent." I am afraid it is not bad.

Seeing this shape, Hu Hongxiu felt depressed and wanted to go forward to make a suggestion, but was pulled by Wanqie, one side, reached out to help.

When Zhao Guanjia, who was sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain, was slightly stunned when he saw the two of them, but then smiled and said, "Is there something wrong with Wanqiqing and Hu Qing here? Is it Wang, who is the husband of Lu, urging him, or is there any military information?"

"Report to the official family." Without waiting for Hu Hongxiu to speak, Wanqie quickly put away his thoughts and bowed to him seriously. "I was indeed sent by Xianggong Wang, but it was not urging me, but just asked me to come and treat him. Hu joined the army for this trip to inform the official family that the king of the Later Army of the Southeast Imperial Camp did not listen to the dispatch, but occupied Jiangning Prefecture and robbed him excessively. He was actually criticized by Xianggong Lu."

Zhao Guanjia, holding the wine glass, was slightly stunned, paused for a moment before nodding slowly: "I understand, this matter was expected, I will ignore it for the time being... Since you two are here, it's just right, let's sit here and drink together."

Wanqi Joiner, who had slandered the officials before, certainly would not object, but immediately thanked him, and then sorted out his appearance. He came forward and carefully sat with Liu Yan, and took the initiative to hold the pot after serving the wine glass in Banzhi.

However, Hu Hongxiu was a little overwhelmed by Wan Qi Cheng's actions. After rushing to follow, he seemed to be unlucky and embarrassed for a moment.

"We are discussing the poems of Chongyang. Both of them are from Taishang students. Wanqiqing has also been a professor. Therefore, although he is a temporary palace examination for the capital, he should be both good at writing and speaking. Let's listen to your words." Zhao Guan's family received a glass of wine from Wanqi and then answered casually.

As the Zhao Guan family spoke of "I" instead of "I", Wan Qien, who had just poured a glass of wine, became more and more excited, but he was suppressing his emotions. He poured a glass of wine for everyone except Mrs. Wu who was specially holding a pot at the dinner and then spoke: "I don't know how the official family, Mrs. Wu, and Mr. Lin, how did Liu Tongzheng discuss the law before?"

"Just just talk nonsense." Zhao Jiu pointed at the few people beside him and replied. "I am a ignorant person. This Mrs. Wu is said to be both civil and military, and has read a lot of books. But at her age, how many years have you read? It's nothing more than two Jinshis, Lin Xueshi and Ping Fu (Liu Yan), who have a good memory. I will give some poems on Double Ninth Festival. I will review them blindly. She brought a book "Tang Poetry Collection" and read them... And just now, I talked about the top of Double Ninth Festival. Which poem do you think is the top of Double Ninth Festival? Which poem is the top of Double Ninth Festival?"

Mrs. Wu hasn't read a few books. Today, she brought a book to cram the truth. However, if Wan Qisheng believed it, he would be stupid.

In fact, in Wanqien's opinion, if the official in front of him who often "the old works of Yi'an's layman" is considered ignorant, there are not many people in the world who are skilled in poetry... It can only be said that because the image of the Taoist Emperor's supernatural emperor is too impressive, this new official who has inherited at least five or six levels of ability is obviously dissatisfied with the emperor and does not want to show too many similarities, so he deliberately obscures it.

It’s just that the wife of Yi’an and his wife are 50 years old. When they are old, they are in a state of distributing official family, and the couple are disagreeing for this.

When he returned to the front, as Zhao Guanjia said, Wan Qicheng was a cultural person after all, and he still had some talent and knowledge. He was a little older and much better than Hu Hongxiu, who liked to dance with swords and swords beside him.

Therefore, this person has gained something while thinking about it.

"I take the liberty... If you use poetry to discuss it, you have to look for it in Tang poetry." Wanqie glanced at Hu Hongxiu who was still thinking, and then spoke slightly seriously. "As the saying goes, 'I am a stranger in a foreign land, and I miss my relatives more during the holidays. I know that my brothers climbed high places, and there is one less person in the woods everywhere.' This poem written by Wang Mojie at the age of 17 tells the mentality of many wanderers, and can be said to be the leader in the Double Ninth Festival."

After this statement was made, Liu Yan and Mrs. Wu laughed together, but Hu Hongxiu nodded suddenly.

As for Zhao Jiu, he also nodded slowly: "Wanqiqing said it very well, and it was in harmony with the previous discussions of us. Master Dasu said that Wang Mojie's poems include poems in paintings, and this poem was written by Wang Wei at the age of seventeen, but it was already both spiritual and physical. The so-called poetic meaning is repeated, but the beginning is simple. The key is that everyone can have the meaning of homesickness, so it is widely sang, which is enough to suppress other Double Ninth Festival poems and stand at the top of this leader... What about Double Ninth Festival lyrics?"

Wanqi Sheng naturally agreed with a few high-profile comments from the Zhao official family, and after a while, he simply said: "As for the Chongyang Ci... Ci is a different form of poetry, and it was only the rise of this dynasty. Although there are a few Chongyang Ci poems, they were just written by famous scholars of this dynasty. But when I think about it casually, I just thought of the words of Yi'an's layman, 'The curtain rolls up the west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers'."

As soon as this said, everyone except Bachelor Kobayashi and Zhao Guan family laughed, and even Hu Hongxiu gradually got into the atmosphere and smiled a little awkwardly.

After Zhao Guanjia finished laughing, he nodded again: "Yes, although this poem is a lyrics of a boudoir, it only contains the word "Double Ninth Festival", but it has written a wonderful part. Just this sentence, let alone the Double Ninth Festival, even many lyrics of a boudoir since ancient times have been suppressed by this sentence... In fact, just now, Mr. Lin was talking about it, and I am afraid that the other poem "Yi An's own poem "Yi Chip Plum" can only be compared with the whole poem, and the single sentence is not as good as this sentence."

"What the officials say is very much." Wan Qien also smiled. "It seems that I am in line with the officials, Mr. Wu, Mr. Lin, and General Liu again."

"Some people say that after the two generations of lay Buddhists on June 1st, Anshi Gong and Su Xueshi, the afterglow of my literary style was only twenty years ago. After that, the poems and lyrics were just Ye Mengde and others." Zhao Guan family may have drunk wine and spoke a lot today, but they actually took over the conversation and continued to joke. "Isn't this a joke? How can you pretend not to see her because Yi'an is a woman? This person is probably comparable to those people in the future. I just don't know where the situation in the world will go in the future? Can those who should have met Yi'an again come out, and can you write "Looking at the sword with a lamp" after coming out..."

Wanqi Cheng and Hu Hongxiu heard these words for no reason.

First, out of instinct, these two people didn't think that Yi'an, a woman, was qualified to compare with Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi and Su Shi with a few poems. Even if one official praised it, they couldn't understand what the officials said at all. What "the ones who should be followed by Yi'an" seems to be someone who can stand up and follow Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, and Yi'an... Why are you "looking at the sword with a lamp"?

It seems that the official family must be really drunk.

"Wan Qiqing said this, what did Hu Qing say?" Zhao Guanjia took a glass of wine from Mrs. Wu, who was wearing leather armor sleeves next to him, and continued to hold the glass and inquire.

"I have nothing to say." Hu Hongxiu did not give advice in person, because the country was in danger and was about to retain a useful identity, so how could he still participate in the discussion?

"The poems and lyrics are all in line. It seems that the leader of the poems in Chongyang has been concluded." Zhao Guanjia drank it all and slapped his hands to meet him. "But these two poems are placed on Yushan here and when the two countries are at war at this time, it is a bit out of place..."

Isn't this nonsense?

Wanqie and Hu Hongxiu almost all secretly mocked each other in their hearts.

Let me say that Hu Hongxiu did not think too much about it. Wan Qien thought about it carefully, but he felt even more cold sweating. The poem "Yi'an Jushi's poem " was very good, but it was inevitable that it was inappropriate. "There was one less person in the dogwood" was not only inappropriate in front of Zhao Guan's family, but also a fatal word!

I also know that my brother climbed up high places, and there was one less person in the dogwood planted everywhere... I am afraid that my brother lives in a cellar and was sitting in a well to observe the sky?

No, there is another king of Xin in Wuma Mountain who doesn’t know the truth or falsehood, and maybe it’s the “two young people”. Moreover, it’s no wonder that the extremely cunning scholar Kobayashi has never smiled. It seems that it’s not that people don’t know how to welcome the court, but that they have some conspiracy.

While thinking, the Zhao Guanjia had already set up the title again: "As for the two of you, we were about to discuss another poem that was not limited to the subject matter and was in line with the situation, but we never got anything. You two might as well try to think about it..."

Wan Qien naturally did not dare to neglect, but his mind was much more alert, so he was careful to avoid making jokes about "Remembering the Brothers in Five Kingdoms City":

"Officials, I'll ask you, can the officials and the three of you have gained something before?"

"No." Zhao Jiu finished drinking it and simply met, but he really took out a book called "Tang Poetry Collection" from behind and threw it to the two newcomers. "I thought about a few poems at the beginning, but they were not right. I was about to read the book of Mrs. Wu, and you can also read it..."

Hu Hongxiu raised his hand and took it to see.

Wanqie only found it funny. He was a great student who remembered some poems and wanted to read books?

Only this person dared not show any thoughts on his face, so he thought hard while holding the cup, and soon thought of a song that was barely suitable for the situation.

"Official family." Wanqi Cheng looked at each other seriously. "Li Taibai has a song "Drive in Baling on the Nine Days to Watch Dongting Water Army". Today, the official climbed Mount Yu Mountain. Although there were no naval troops, he could see the entire Yu Mountain camp! The so-called "Singing in a deep and passionate manner can destroy the demon atmosphere." Wouldn't it be appropriate?"

Everyone pondered, and it was not good to say it was not good to say it was not bad to say it was not bad to say it was not bad to say it was not bad to say it was difficult to mention the wartime period. In the army, it seemed to be very suitable; but at the same time, most of this poem clearly stated that the victory of warships and navy troops was a bit forced.

"What do you think?" After Wan Qie recited the whole poem again, the Zhao Guanjia took the initiative to point his palms and inquire about it one by one.

"I think it's okay." Mrs. Wu also used the folk name.

"I think it's inappropriate." Liu Yan, who had always been taciturn, finally spoke, but waved his hand directly.

"I also think it's inappropriate." Mr. Kobayashi also frowned and looked at him.

The Zhao official family did not care and continued to point to Hu Hongxiu.

"Reporting to the official family, I think it's inappropriate." Hu Hongxiu, who had been flipping the books, spoke to him, but he also handed over the "Complete Tang Poems" with his cover. "But I just saw one here, maybe it's appropriate..."

Zhao Jiu nodded and took it casually. As soon as he saw it, he couldn't help laughing, and then read the title of the poem in public: "This is Cen Shen's "Accompanying Feng Dafu to climb the heights on nine days"... Is Feng Changqing a Feng Dafu?"

"That's right." Bachelor Kobayashi responded. "I remember this poem, the so-called "Yellow Flowers and Wine on Nine Days, I heard it when I climbed up to the top. The frost power chased the Asian princes, and the murderous aura was beside the central army. The flute was shocked to conquer the geese, and the delicate song fell to the clouds..."

After reciting this, Master Xiaolin suddenly shut up, and Wanqie also turned pale and looked at Hu Hongxiu, the culprit who was already a little panicked.

Zhao Jiu didn't care, so he picked up the book and looked at it carefully, and continued to shake his head and recite: "Fortunately, I'm not going to do anything, so I'm drunk and dancing to Hewu."

Now, Liu Yan and Mrs. Wu also looked strange... a little angry and helpless.

There is nothing else, the poem "I'm lucky to be nothing at the edge of the road" is a bit sarcastic. Cen Shen and Feng Changqing took a break from their busy schedule while "I'm lucky to be nothing at the edge of the road". What is your Zhao Guan family?

However, I don’t know if Zhao Jiu, an engineering dog, has a low level of education, and does not have muscle memory as a foundation like writing and archery. So after reading it, he stared at the "Tang Poetry Collection" for a long time before he realized: "Hu Zhanjun is admonishing me?"

After being hung up for so long, Hu Hongxiu had already been at a loss... After all, he was from a wealthy family. If he had the courage to advise in person, he would have written a letter with Chen Dong to "reprimand Chengyu" with Chen Dong for eight lifetimes. Why would he be today? And just now he also handed this poem downward, which meant to "hidden advice". How could he think of the Zhao Guan family ignoring it and spreading it out directly?

"It's okay." Zhao Jiu continued to look at the collection of poems in his hand, obviously not caring about it. "Hu joined the army with good intentions... and don't worry, I always have to make an idea today, and I won't miss it."

Hu Hongxiu could only say no.

"In fact, if there was no last sentence, this poem by Cen Shen would be extremely suitable." Zhao Jiu continued to say.

"This poem is indeed inappropriate." Liu Yan nodded seriously: "However, this poem is inappropriate from Li Taibai's poem just now. What else is there? I really don't know what else is there!"

"It's really difficult." Mr. Kobayashi also spoke lightly. "It's wartime, it's the army. There are not many poems related to Double Ninth Festival in the army. These two poems are the most in line. As for the front line, the Jin people are now making a large-scale attack on Tokyo, and the southeastern army in the rear led to military chaos as soon as it set off. It's already a crisis, a crisis, and the army, plus the poems exclusive to Double Ninth Festival, I really couldn't imagine it."

Wanqie, Liu Yan nodded in one's head, and even Mrs. Wu nodded, as if she really understood. When Zhao Guanjia heard this, he nodded, as if he really understood it.

However, after Zhao Guanjia nodded, he spread out his entire Tang poem in his hand and placed it in front of him: "So what if you read this poem?"

Everyone went to see it, but they were silent, and then their hearts were slightly moved. It turned out that this poem was just next to Cen Shen's poem, which was Gao Shi's Double Ninth Festival, but it was only twenty words short.

As the saying goes: I want to climb a high place, but no one will send you wine. I feel sorry for the chrysanthemums in my hometown, and I should open beside the battlefield.

Wanqie and others were thinking about each other, but the Zhao Guan family had already stood up with a little drunkenness, and then walked forward with his hands behind his back, obviously looking far away... Liu Yan and Mrs. Wu did not dare to be negligent, so they quickly followed aside to prevent accidents.

However, under the sunlight that had sunset in the west, Zhao Guanjia looked west and east with his hands behind his back. His eyes began from the Baihe River at the foot of the mountain, and gradually looked away until the horizon could not be clearly identified, but he remained silent for a long time.

"Official family!"

Mr. Kobayashi probably thought enough, so he got up and came to the back of the official family, then raised the words and said carefully. "Hu joined the army not intentionally, he did not know the hardships and difficulties of the official family..."

Hu Hongxiu's face turned red behind him, but he didn't dare to interrupt. Wanqie, who was also not easy to get over, simply glared at Hu Hongxiu coldly.

After a while, Zhao Jiu came back to his senses and shook his head slightly and said, "It has nothing to do with Hu Qing. The difficulties in my heart today are actually the same as the difficulties I encountered in the past two days. They were expected, but it was still not easy to feel at the beginning... In fact, since the death battle of Zhang Yongzhen on Huai, and the small orange lamp burned into Huai, I have realized two things: one, the Jin people can definitely win, and the victory of the family must be us; the other, if you want to defeat the Jin people, you must sacrifice the lives of countless people for this! But there is another difficulty, that is, as a great Song official family, why should I make this sacrifice, that one not sacrifice? Or this one not sacrifice, that sacrifice?"

Not to mention the two soldiers behind him, even the Bachelor Kobayashi who had thought a lot before he stood up could not help but be stunned.

"The deceased is gone, so let alone Zhang Zizheng and Xin's previous rule. It's just that the Tokyo Sect is at an extremely difficult time and the southeastern army cannot be used. The Privy Council naturally wants me to make a decision. Should Han Shizhong, who is still in the process of rest, go north to Shunchang Prefecture immediately?"

Zhao Guanjia continued to whisper to everyone with his hands behind his back, his voice as if he was muttering to himself. "If Han Shizhong went to Shunchang Prefecture, just south of Zhengzhou, Wanyan Wushu would have to divide his troops to deal with it. He could not even attract the fourth prince who had suffered a defeat on that day in advance. Tokyo would naturally be much more relaxed... But then, what about the sacrifice of Han Shizhong's tribe who had not finished resting? So what about the people of Shunchang Prefecture? This is not to say who should die from Zongze or Han Shizhong, and who should stay in Tokyo and Shunchang Prefecture. It is a question of two choices, but if it comes out in one sentence, it will take a little attention to it, and if there is a little emphasis, there will be countless lives to pay for it."

"The official family is benevolent." Liu Yan sighed. "President Yang used to tell his ministers that the official family is benevolent. I often used the day to confront the Dao Palace to show that I had known it, but I still... still... made the official family laugh."

"I am ashamed." Lin Jingmo also bowed helplessly.

"Take one step, count it!" Zhao Jiu shook his head again. "I said it, it was not for you to praise you, but I felt heavy in my heart. I also hated myself for not setting an example and could only let others die in vain, so I was a little ashamed... Two of you join the army!"

"I'm here!"

"Here!"

Wanqie and Hu Hongxiu, who were fascinated by the hearing, quickly got up in a mess.

"Go and tell the two ministers that I have decided to take Han Shizhong north to Yancheng!" Zhao Jiu said directly without looking back. "As for me, I will go back later!"

"yes!"
To be continued...
