She even felt that Yang Guifei in the story was not executed.
Instead, he chose to kill himself to protect his beloved.
Even though all of this started because of him.
He neglected state affairs for her sake.
Then let her come and save her man.
The talented men present were also deeply moved.
Because they realized that this was not just a winding, touching love poem.
It has already transcended the category of love poems.
This is a realistic poem, containing criticism, love, contradictions, and is filled with the complexities of human nature.
At this moment, many talented men had already begun to admire Gu Jian immensely.
Even the Third Prince Long Jingtian and Ye Chen were greatly shocked.
I can't believe he was able to create such a magnificent narrative poem in such a short time!
However, the poetry continues.
The stories in the poems continue.
As Gu Jian began to speak, the story unfolded once again.
"The Taoist priest from Linqiong, a guest of Hongdu, can summon souls with his sincerity."
Moved by the king's longing, he instructed a sorcerer to diligently search for him.
He rode the air with lightning speed, soaring through the heavens and diving into the earth, seeking his way everywhere.
I searched high and low, from the heavens to the depths of hell, but found nothing.
Suddenly, I heard of a fairy mountain in the sea, a mountain in the misty void.
Exquisite pavilions rise amidst five-colored clouds, where graceful fairies dwell.
Among them was a woman named Taizhen, with fair skin and a beautiful face.
...
On the seventh day of the seventh month, in the Hall of Eternal Life, at midnight when no one was around, they whispered among themselves.
In heaven, we wish to be birds flying wing to wing; on earth, we wish to be trees with intertwined branches.
Heaven and earth may pass away, but this sorrow will last forever.
This passage mentions famous Taoist priests who were moved by Emperor Xuanzong's longing for Yang Guifei and took the initiative to help him search for her.
Finally, after overcoming numerous hardships, he found a fairy who looked just like Yang Guifei on a magical mountain at sea.
And she really was Yang Guifei!
She has become an immortal, yet she still misses Emperor Xuanzong of Tang every day.
She was overjoyed to learn that her beloved had ordered her to come find her, but for some reason, she was unable to leave the fairy island.
When she finally parted, she took the keepsake from that year back with her, to express Yang Guifei's deep affection and to give it to the emperor as a memento.
She said that as long as our love for each other is as steadfast as gold and as firm as a rock, we will always have a chance to meet again.
On the seventh day of the seventh month of that year, in the dead of night when no one was around, we made a solemn vow together.
In heaven, we wish to be birds flying wing to wing; on earth, we wish to be trees growing branch to branch.
Even eternity has an end, but this regret of life and death has no end...
Gu Jian had stopped reciting, but everyone present covered their faces and wept.
Even the Third Prince, Long Jingtian, had tears welling up in his eyes.
Ye Chen felt a tightness in his chest, and a feeling of grief welled up in his heart.
Realizing this, the two turned pale and then gradually despaired.
