Chapter 324: The Imperial College Priest Goes Crazy Too
Can.
The King of Poetry is still the King of Poetry after all.
Just a moment!
Xu Zuiyin seemed to understand and immediately said, "Perhaps the Queen wrote this poem because she cherishes Your Majesty too much."
Several people around him looked at Xu Zuiyin with curiosity.
Although he is an elder.
But when it comes to reciting poems and composing couplets, none of them can compare to Xu Zuiyin.
Xu Zuiyin took the paper from Mu Xu's hand with both hands, looked at the poem and said, "Your Majesty used several allusions, and the second line, 'It's easy to change the hearts of old friends, but you say that the hearts of old friends are easy to change', refutes the heartlessness of the heartless man. But the first line, if life could only be like the first meeting, is an incomparable nostalgia for the first time they met and got to know each other, and the second line of the poem, 'After talking in Kunshan for half of the night, the rain and tears are bitter, but I never complain. How about the unfaithful man in brocade clothes, who wished to be together forever.' Although it seems that the allusions of Emperor Ming were used to belittle the heartless man in the poem, the tone of her voice is full of resentment, not hatred."
"Moreover, the three allusions of the poem, the sad fan, Kunshan, and the rainy zither, are all allusions to unrequited love and separation. Moreover, the whole poem seems to express the feeling of "boudoir resentment", but the first sentence of the poem is "If life could only be like the first meeting", so all the "boudoir resentment" is just an illusion. Only if you and I are consistent and remain faithful to each other until death, at the end we will still be the same as at the beginning."
"So, the reason why the Queen cherishes His Majesty and the relationship with His Majesty so much is that she wrote such a poem to warn herself that no matter what, she should remain consistent and faithful until death, just like the phrase 'If only life could be as it was when we first met'. She also used those allusions to persuade herself not to become like that."
"This poem is written for yourself and for everyone in the world. Life is just like the first sight, not 'if it were just like the first sight'. It does not refer to love between people, but all friendships."
“When any person or any relationship first meets, everything is beautiful. Everything starts out this way. Even if there are some unsatisfactory aspects, they become insignificant because of the longing for the future. However, life is vast, time passes, and the past has already changed.”
"But the fact that you can come up with such a beautiful sentence shows how deeply your Majesty loves His Majesty. It's amazing. You can imagine how important His Majesty is in your heart!!"
After that, Xu Zuiyin remained silent, just looking at the first sentence "If life could only be like the first meeting", thinking deeply, thinking about his wife at home, thinking about the first time he met his wife, thinking about the friends he met when he was studying abroad, and thinking about the first time he met his teacher.
Lost in thought like this, Xu Zuiyin sighed, because time has passed and many people have become passers-by in the world. No matter how beautiful the first meeting was, it is now a thing of the past. After wasting years, how much of the joy of the first meeting is retained?
That's it.
Are these poems written by the Empress?
Xu Zuiyin had come into contact with many of Su Chang'an's poems before he came to Beijing when he was in the suburbs of Beijing. After all, the earliest ones were known to many people in the south through businessmen, plus the correspondence with his friends in Beijing.
But those in recent days, especially Jun Bu Jian, were only seen clearly after arriving in Beijing, and then, Xu Zuiyin was completely convinced!
And now.
Looking at the poem in my hand
Xu Zuiyin shook his head and said with emotion: "Not as good as it should be, not as good as it should be."
While Mu Xu, Zhao Shi, Yao Yuanzai and others were listening to Xu Zuiyin's annotations on the poem, they all went back to read the poem itself.
I already agreed in my heart. At first glance, the poem itself is indeed somewhat sad and mournful, and it was written by the Queen Mother, so it is natural that she would think of Your Majesty.
But with Xu Zuiyin's guidance, the three of them had their own opinions when thinking about this poem again.
Yao Yuanzai spoke softly, "Your Majesty once wrote 'People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions; the moon waxes and wanes; it is difficult to have everything perfect.' She wrote about the regrets between people. Now, the sentence 'If life could only be like the first sight' expresses all the happiness before the regrets. Your Majesty is very talented and intelligent. She thinks of things that we cannot think of. She is also very thoughtful and expresses all her emotions through poetry."
Zhao Shi nodded slightly, but his face showed worry. In fact, he was lost in thought because of the sentence "If only life could be like the first meeting".
Mu Xu did not say anything, but shook his head and sighed continuously. After a while, he spoke up: "Great, it's really well written. How did our queen come up with it? Why can't we, who are also educated, come up with such good words?! Oh, the gap! The gap is too big!"
After saying this, Mu Xu looked at Li Yao who was delivering the poem and said, "Forget about what I just said, you should remember it. Why do you need to remember it?"
At this point, Mu Xu looked at Xu Zuiyin and said, "Write an analysis of this poem later, and remember to write down the words I said praising the Empress. I will publish them in the journal, and forget about these two."
Xu Zuiyin was stunned for a moment.
Yao Yuanzai on the other side immediately scolded: "Because of the Empress's poems, we are filled with emotion. The atmosphere is so good, but you are thinking about flattering her! It's really a disappointment!"
Zhao Shi also looked at Mu Xu with disdain: "I am ashamed to be associated with you!"
Although Xu Zuiyin did not expect Mu Xu to be like this suddenly, he looked at his teacher and thought that he was still the same as always. Wasn't it the same before? Suddenly, he said a few words to flatter the late emperor.
Mu Xu didn't care at all. He looked at Yao Yuanzai and Zhao Shi, shook his head with disdain, and then looked at Li Yao: "The Queen is also attending the poetry gathering?"
In fact, Li Yao was also surprised after listening to Xu Zuiyin's words, because he just thought that the poem was well-written and didn't think too much about it. But then, he was shocked. He felt that the queen's words expressed the general feeling of life, and he admired her very much.
When he heard what Mu Xu said, he was slightly startled, then he immediately said, "Master Jijiu, the Queen did not go. It was His Royal Highness the Prince of Yue who asked Xun Siye for the invitation and asked Master Maomao to go with him. The poem was taken out of her bag by Master Maomao."
Mu Xu was stunned for a moment, then after thinking for a while, he looked at Li Yao and said, "Tell me about it in detail."
Li Yao immediately recounted the entire process that he had seen.
It was simple. Maomao came out and offered it, then left. As for why he left, Li Yao didn't know and naturally didn't explain much.
However, Li Yao omitted the matter of Mao Mao's excitement, happiness and joy. After all, it was not important to think about it. When talking to the people in front of him, he still had to choose the important things.
After listening briefly, Li Yao added that although Maomao won the first prize, because she left, no one knew who got the inkstone made by Liu Baishi and the opportunity to have dinner together. But what was certain was that it was His Royal Highness the King of Yue who invited Maomao.
After listening to these.
Mu Xu couldn't help but frown.
I feel like something is missing, yet I also feel like nothing is missing.
Maomao was invited by the King of Yue to attend a poetry meeting
What does Prince Yue want?
And the King of Yue didn’t even take the final prize.
What does this mean.
Thinking of this, Mu Xu looked at Li Yao and said, "Master Cui left without saying anything, and just left?"
Li Yao thought about it seriously, but didn't seem to say anything. From his perspective at the time, he just bowed to the King of Yue and left directly, so he nodded: "Yes, he left directly after giving the medicine bag."
But after saying that, Li Yao thought for a moment and said, "After Miss White Lion announced the start of the poetry meeting, Lord Maomao immediately sent up the poems. Then His Royal Highness the King of Yue gave Lord Maomao something, and Lord Maomao took it before leaving. He didn't say much, he just left, as if he had completed a mission."
Hearing this, Mu Xu frowned again.
Gave something?
Use something to get the cat to participate? That's not right, if that's the case, then the King of Yue won't get the prize in the end, right?
Moreover, Maomao directly took out the poems of the Empress and participated in the poetry reading.
In the eyes of many old men in the court, Mu Xu is the most cunning person in the capital.
But in fact, Mu Xu is not a cunning person at all. The main thing is that Mu Xu will think carefully when encountering things. After all, in the capital, everything must be thought about carefully, especially when it comes to some adult matters.
Thinking about it, Mu Xu looked at Li Yao, pondered for a while, and seemed to have thought of something, and immediately asked: "Did you see that they carefully selected the poem or just gave it to Liu Baishi directly?"
Li Yao saw this with his own eyes, so he immediately told what he saw, "It was taken out directly, but it was taken out before, and then I saw His Royal Highness the King of Yue looked at it, Xun Siye and Mr. Ji also looked at it, but the medicine package was not opened, and it was also given directly to Liu Baishi when it was given to him."
Hearing
Mu Xu's expression was solemn, and he asked again: "After winning the championship, are you sure that the King of Yue didn't take the prize?"
Li Yao nodded immediately: "No, I saw it clearly, and when Mr. Ji called me over, I also heard King Yue and Miss Baishi say that they didn't want the prize."
Mu Xu pursed his lips. This is not right!
So, it seems like everything was prepared in advance!
The poems were prepared in advance and presented immediately after the performance started.
Although the King of Yue gave Maomao something, and it looked like the King of Yue used the things to exchange for Maomao so that Maomao could take the poems to the poetry meeting, it was also possible that the King of Yue promised Maomao that Maomao would leave, so he gave it to her.
But the King of Yue did not take any gamble.
Moreover, can the poems in the cat bag be taken out directly to participate in the poetry reading without the Queen's permission?
No matter how much the cat is spoiled, the queen will not let the cat use the poems casually. No matter how much she spoils, it is impossible to go to this extent! If this is the case, then from now on, just flatter the little girl cat!
So it is absolutely impossible that Maomao came to participate on her own, and the Queen would never allow such a thing!
It seems like the little girl would leave after giving the poem. And I remember that the Cui Yu brothers would also go today. If they saw something disgusting, the little girl would definitely leave immediately. But even if Cui Yu was not there, the little girl would definitely leave directly. After all, the little girl didn't seem to like this kind of occasion.
Unless there is an order from the Queen.
So
Did His Majesty and the Queen specifically ask Maomao to go there?
and
I took out a bag full of poems and gave this one to you without even opening it.
It's obvious that it was prepared in advance!
Is there something deep meaning between Your Majesty and Your Majesty?
What's the deep meaning.
How about joining Wanli Chamber of Commerce?
That's not right. Although His Majesty likes to see things with his own eyes, as long as Li Jiulang is here, His Majesty doesn't need to watch what a bunch of little brats are doing.
What's more.
wrong
It's not targeted at Wanli Chamber of Commerce, it's targeted at everyone!
At this time, this poem suddenly appeared.
'If only life could be like the first time we met!'
Your Majesty is telling everyone, if only life could remain as it was when we first met!
Including me!
Suddenly realized this.
Mu Xu pursed his lips again, and then began to think again, Why is your Majesty telling me this? Isn't there already a matter for that nerd Zui Yin?
but.
Huh?
Thinking like this
Mu Xu looked suddenly enlightened.
Mu Xu remembered very clearly that the first time he met the current empress was when the empress was one year old. The late emperor celebrated the empress's first birthday. Because the late empress was frugal, there was no grand ceremony, but some close ministers were called and a small banquet was held. It was at that banquet that Mu Xu met the empress for the first time.
But the empress was still a baby at the time, so it couldn’t be considered the first time they met.
The real first meeting was when the empress was five years old. It was in the library of the Hanlin Academy. Mu Xu was looking for a book, but he didn't expect to see the empress.
After Mu Xu bowed, he asked the empress, "What are you doing here? There are no followers around you."
The Empress replied, "I was looking for a book, but I couldn't get it."
Mu Xu looked up and saw that the book the empress pointed to was on the top shelf, so he said, "I'll find a ladder to help you get it down."
The empress was puzzled. "Master Jijiu, just pick me up. Can't I just do it? Why do you have to go through all that trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Xu smiled and lifted the five-year-old empress high up, and the empress got the book.
Afterwards, the empress took the book and started discussing it with Mu Xu. They had a very pleasant conversation and Mu Xu also told the empress many things from the book.
And this
This was the first time the empress and Mu Xu met in the true sense.
If only life could be like the first time we met.
If only life could be like the first time we met.
Others
Mu Xu didn't know, but he was here.
Your Majesty, are you telling me about your first meeting with her?
She is now trying to take something that the aristocratic families in Jiangnan hold high and don't let others touch, so, I don't need to go through so much trouble, but can I just help her directly?
Mu Xu swallowed.
Thinking of your Majesty's innocence and cuteness when he was five years old
Mu Xu looked at Xu Zuiyin beside him and suddenly smiled bitterly: "One slap and one sweet date, oh my, at my age, how can I bear this! If only life could be as good as the first time we met, if only life could be as good as the first time we met! Zuiyin, go and help me grind the ink, I will write the memorial."
After saying that, Mu Xu looked at the student and thought for a moment: "Li Yao, right?"
The students saluted immediately.
Mu Xu immediately said, "Please help me find Xun Kuang. Remember the analysis of the poem "If Life Could Just Be Like First Meeting" just now given by the Poet King?"
Li Yao immediately bowed and said, "Student remembers."
Mu Xu smiled and said, "Then tell others about it. Don't let people really think that there is a problem between the Queen and His Majesty. Rumors are scary. Since we understand the Queen's painstaking efforts, we must spread the word to prevent others from talking nonsense!"
Li Yao bowed immediately and said, "Student will do it right away."
Mu Xu said with a smile: "When you go to find Xun Kuang, run slowly. It's winter now, and it will hurt if you fall!"
Li Yao nodded immediately.
The students left.
Mu Xu immediately walked into the house. Yao Yuanzai and others looked at each other, puzzled as to what had happened to Mu Xu all of a sudden.
Xu Zuiyin was the most obedient, so he went back to the house to help with grinding.
but
After returning to the house, Yao Yuanzai thought for a moment and looked at Mu Xu: "Are you going to help the queen and explain to His Majesty?"
Mu Xu poured a glass of wine, drank it directly, looked at Yao Yuanzai and said: "Do we need to explain the relationship between the two? They are in cahoots with each other to play tricks on people! Moreover, the poem written by the queen might have been written for this matter. Oh, she is so talented that she can come up with such a poem for this matter! What's more, it is so sensational. How can I bear this at my age!"
Mu Xudong was talking here and there, and the others were confused.
However, Mu Xu looked at the three of them and said, "You can figure it out on your own. The poem contains the holy intentions of His Majesty and His Majesty! Hey, it's no wonder that I, the third brother, am the chief priest. How smart!"
At the end, Mu Xu pointed to his head.
Then, without further ado, he picked up the pen, thought for a while and started writing.
Several people were full of questions.
But I couldn’t go to see what Mu Xu was going to write, after all, he had just said that he was going to write a memorial.
only
Seeing Mu Xu's happy but helpless smile, several people were even more confused, because they really didn't understand.
How come this happened suddenly?
Because you thought about what happened at the poetry meeting?
Mu Xu, on the other hand, was writing in a very eloquent manner. Halfway through, he smiled bitterly, then went over to get the wine jug and took a few big gulps.
Only after drinking can you write something more sensational.
Your Majesty is trying to be sentimental with us, so we can't fall behind and have to be a little sentimental as well!
…
In Lingqi Pavilion, Xia Fengxiang leaned against the pillow and had already started reviewing memorials.
Su Changan leaned against Xia Fengxiang, holding official documents about palace affairs and the latest progress in the fight against organized crime sent by Yang Guofu.
Naturally, the two of them had no idea how Mu Xu was doing now.
but
Su Changan looked at the official document in his hand which was about the organization of books in the harem and their drying to prevent moisture.
Book maintenance is a big deal, especially when it comes to the many archived files in the harem, as well as the biographies of emperors and empresses of Daxia to date.
Therefore, only after Su Chang'an's permission can Sun Shanggong, the Shanggong Bureau, take out the key and personally supervise the maintenance as usual.
but
Looking at the contents of the official document, Su Changan suddenly thought of Su Zimu, and Cui Zhenglai, who the empress mentioned today as someone who liked to organize historical events and write history books.
Su Changan slightly turned sideways to avoid the wound, and stretched out his hand to pinch Xia Fengxiang's belly: "Wife, are you interested in having someone compile a book that records all historical biographies and other various grand ceremonies so far?"
