Of course Zhuang Zhou didn't need to prepare, and there was no need to prepare.
As for frontier poems, he could recite several of them off the cuff.
The following one in particular is a classic among classics:
"The bright moon of Qin and the fortress of Han, yet those who have marched thousands of miles have yet to return.
If only the flying general were in Longcheng, the Hu horse would not be allowed to cross Yinshan Mountain.
The chestnut horse is newly equipped with a white jade saddle, and the moonlight is cold after the battle on the battlefield.
The iron drums on the city walls are still beating, and the golden sword in the box... the blood is not yet dry! "
Let’s read a poem!
Everyone shouted:
“Good poem!”
“Come again!”
What a boldness this is!
Zhuang Zhou also loves ancient poetry, especially the heroic spirit of frontier poetry.
As I kept reciting it, I became excited.
It’s just reciting poems!
Nine years of compulsory education have already integrated these poems into his flesh and blood.
Not only can you not write poems, you can also not recite poems!
Zhuang Zhou smiled slightly, looking up at a 45-degree angle, and continued chanting:
"A lone smoke rises straight over the desert, the sun sets over the long river.
At Xiaoguan, I met a scout who told me that the Protector General was at Yanran."
As soon as the poem fell, there was another round of applause.
"Good poem! Good poem!"
"Mr. Zhuang is truly talented and admirable!"
Zhuang Zhou waved his hand modestly, but he was feeling very proud in his heart.
Take a deep breath and speak again:
"Dark clouds press down on the city, threatening to destroy it; armor shines in the sun, its golden scales unfold.
The horn sounds fill the sky with autumn colors, and the rouge on the frontier turns the night purple.
The half-rolled red flag is facing the Yishui River, but the heavy frost and cold make the drums silent.
I will repay your kindness on the Golden Terrace and die for you, supporting the Jade Dragon."
Zhuang Zhou's voice was passionate and generous, full of yearning and pursuit for heroic spirit.
After hearing this, Li Er's blood boiled even more.
It was as if I was back on the battlefield, fighting side by side with my brothers.
Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, Zhuang Zhou felt even more proud.
I couldn't help but recite another poem:
"The long clouds of Qinghai darken the snow-capped mountains, and the lonely city looks towards Yumen Pass in the distance.
"I've worn my golden armor through a hundred battles in the yellow sand, and I won't return until I've conquered Loulan."
This poem is like the surging waters of the Yangtze River.
It instantly ignited the enthusiasm of everyone present.
Applause and cheers rang out one after another.
It seemed as if the entire hall was occupied by Zhuang Zhou's poems.
There is a heroic and passionate atmosphere.
Li Er was so excited that he stood up, patted Zhuang Zhou on the shoulder, and praised loudly:
"Zhuang Zhou, you are truly a talented person!
Your poem is like a sharp sword unsheathed, revealing its brilliance and making my blood boil! "
Zhuang Zhou smiled slightly and said modestly:
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am only a slender man of letters."
You call this a basic literacy?
Li Erben is a person who loves poetry.
Of course he knew the exquisiteness and brilliance of Zhuang Zhou's poems.
From this, we can see that Zhuang Zhou's talent is immeasurable!
So he also became interested.
He wanted to show off his treasured and rare treasures.
"I am also very happy tonight. Let's go to the study and have some tea. I have some calligraphy for you to enjoy. How about that?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian knew that his father was going to show off his collection of Chinese characters "王" again.
Speaking of which, there are many Wang characters on the market now.
But most of them are copies.
Even though Li Chengqian was the crown prince, he had never seen the real Wang calligraphy, especially the original copy of "Lanting Preface".
"OK!"
Zhuang Zhou readily agreed.
It looks like it’s time to see something good!
Zhuang Zhou is really looking forward to it!
Just then.
Li Yuan slowly said:
"I won't go to appreciate the calligraphy!
I drank some wine and felt a little tired!"
Li Yuan is old after all and looks very tired.
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Zhou immediately said:
"Your Majesty, since you are tired, you should rest early!"
Li Yuan nodded and said with a smile:
“Okay, okay!
Mr. Zhuang, you are a very interesting person. I really enjoy talking to you.
I will listen to your talk about the construction plan of the Tang Dynasty some other day."
"Sure! I'm looking forward to it too!"
"Then it would be better if Father could go back and rest earlier!"
After saying this, Li Er personally helped Li Yuan to stand up and then helped Li Yuan onto the imperial carriage.
"Mr. Zhuang, I really like the wine tonight!"
"As long as the Emperor likes it."
Zhuang Zhou said this, then looked at Li Er and asked:
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect to meet the Emperor this time, and I didn't prepare any gifts. I wonder what the Emperor likes on a daily basis?"
Li Er smiled slightly and said:
"The Emperor loves music, especially the pipa."
Actually!
Li Yuan likes many things.
Especially after she abdicated, she gave birth to many brothers and sisters for Li Er.
But he didn't dare say these words.
"The Emperor loves music!"
Zhuang Zhou thought about it and suddenly had an idea.
It’s just music!
Classical music and pop music of later generations are expected to have a large market.
"Your Majesty, next time I come to the palace I'll bring you some interesting music."
"Oh, sure!"
Li Yuan didn't care much about it. As he spoke, he waved his hand and the imperial carriage started.
After seeing Li Yuan off, Li Er also waved his hand and said:
"Let's go! I'll show you something good tonight."
Afterwards, Li Er took Zhuang Zhou to the study.
The entire study is decorated in a simple and elegant style, and the bookshelves are filled with various ancient books and calligraphy and paintings.
How could Zhuang Zhou understand all this!
We made some tea and chatted for a while.
Li Er then stood up and walked to a corner, carefully opened an exquisite wooden box, and took out a scroll from it.
