Chapter 323 The Queen loves His Majesty so much that she wrote this poem
Xu Zuiyin listened to Yao Yuanzai's explanation and understood a little.
But he frowned, knowing that he had let the teacher down by thinking that he was just going with the flow.
But it also seemed like I shouldn't have come to the capital at this time from the beginning!
Therefore, I felt a little annoyed. After all, I had a good life but I had caused trouble for the teacher, and even got myself into bigger trouble!
Mu Xu, who was standing at the side, looked at his disciple like this, laughed twice, and then scolded: "Pretending to understand, have you digested the saints' books? Knowing what you know and not knowing what you don't know is knowledge. We old guys don't know whether you understand or not? But it doesn't matter if you don't understand. To put it bluntly, this matter has nothing to do with you. It's the emperor and me."
"I don't want to get involved in this, so I've been pretending to be ignorant to His Majesty and not saying a word. I'm also surprised that His Majesty is so anxious to deal with the south so that there will be no worries over there, but why hasn't he come to see me alone? But I heard that you're here, good guy, I thought you were waiting for me here. Sure enough!"
"Your Majesty, you are good at playing overt schemes. The previous emperor played them more smoothly, so you have to fall into them. So it has nothing to do with you. Without you, there are others. Anyone who has anything to do with the southern family who comes to me is trapped and cannot be solved. Moreover, in the end, Your Majesty issued an edict to let me do it, and I still have to do it, but it is just the method that Yao Yuanzai said just now. So don't be so sad. What kind of day is this? If you are so sad, even wine will not taste good."
"Moreover, the affairs of the court are linked one to another. An ordinary sentence involves a huge matter. An ordinary sentence, when weighed, weighs tens of thousands of taels. Such things are everywhere."
After saying that, Mu Xu looked at Xu Zuiyin, smiled, drank a sip of wine and said: "Your child, your knowledge is getting bigger and bigger, your poems are getting better and better, your reputation is getting louder and louder, and you have more and more students, but you just don't guard against people. But it's true that some people are born without this mind, so they are not suitable for being officials. But this kind of people, if they do anything else, they will definitely succeed, because their minds are pure and they have no distractions."
As he said this, he looked at Xu Zuiyin and sighed again: "You are blessed to have a good teacher like me. If it were someone else, they would have allowed you to enter the government directly. What would you do then? People who are not suitable for being an official should not be officials! Just like that Meng Shaoan, he didn't even know that he had screwed himself over, and I heard he was still happy."
I heard Mu Xu shamelessly praising me without even a hint of being subtle.
Yao Yuanzai and Zhao Shi looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
But without saying much, he actually agreed with Mu Xu's words. After all, this was really Mu Xu's credit. Otherwise, if Xu Zuiyin had really entered the official career, there might not be the current "Poetry King" Xu Zuiyin.
It can be said that there are just a lot of frustrated literati.
Or even just a corpse.
They have lived for so long and have been in the capital for so long that they have seen too many things like this. Some of them tried to persuade them but they didn't listen, some listened but just left, and most of them were too late to persuade them, like Meng Shaoan, who is the most recent example.
Mu Xu no longer added wine to his glass.
Drinking quickly is a taboo at the wine table. No matter how good your alcohol tolerance is, you will easily fall into the wine tank, and then most of them will run under the wine table and claim to be invincible! I am not drunk!
But in fact, he was already drunk and talking nonsense!
Mu Xu did this a lot when he was young, so he doesn’t do this anymore when he gets older.
After saying these simple words just now, Mu Xu had actually drunk four or five cups. On the one hand, he was happy to see his eldest disciple, and on the other hand, he was worried about this disciple. What should he do with his brain like this?
As for the fact that the emperor invited him to join the game, Mu Xu actually didn't take it to heart at all.
After all, he is the emperor!
When I'm in a good mood, I'll consider the overall situation and set up a trap for you to join.
If you are in a bad mood, you will have to enter the game on your knees once an imperial decree is issued.
So comparing the two, Mu Xu chose the former, which is at least decent and face-saving.
only
In fact, it was only after he learned that his disciple had entered the capital that he realized that the emperor had set up such a trap. He even wondered if he was overthinking it.
Until just now, this disciple of mine nodded to indicate that he wanted to ask a question.
Mu Xu realized that he couldn't escape it after all, so he might as well face it calmly.
But in fact, this question, if it is normal, is nothing, just a question. It is normal for Xu Zuiyin to come to the Imperial College, just a visit.
But it happened that day, and Xu Zuiyin would definitely ask the emperor whether he was going to take action against the aristocratic families. No matter what his answer was, as long as he asked the question, he would be considered involved and there would be no way to escape!
Although my old bones may need to take a stroll to the south, I will still regard it as studying hard!
By the way, let’s see how many people we can save.
In the past few years, people like Li Nishang were deceived by the emperor in the capital and did all kinds of evil things, so naturally these noble families were also deceived.
In this situation, a few people have to die.
Thinking of the tragic scene that happened when the late emperor was alive, Mu Xu was shocked and shook his head. It was so tragic.
Although our emperor is kind, when it comes to killing people, he is no worse than the late emperor.
but.
"Not bad." Mu Xu suddenly looked at his disciple and said with a smile.
Xu Zuiyin looked at his teacher, puzzled.
This time, not only Xu Zuiyin, but also Yao Yuanzai and Zhao Shi on the side, looked at Mu Xu with some confusion.
Mu Xu said with a smile: "I think it's okay. The emperor is good to me. At least the one who talked with those people from your Liu family today was the fat guy Su Liheng, which means that your Wanli family can still be saved. As for the other side, Zhao Yulang has gone there. May you be lucky. Hey, let's not talk about this. Come on, let's talk about something else. I can't talk to you about this. You are too stupid. Xun Kuang is here. He can still talk to us."
No matter what Mu Xu said, the King of Poetry, who was very knowledgeable but could not be an official, simply could not listen.
When Mu Xu finished speaking, Xu Zuiyin stood up and bowed to Mu Xu again: "I really didn't expect there would be so many things here."
Hearing this, Mu Xu raised his hand and was about to slap him.
But when he arrived, he smiled and patted me gently and said, "Okay, stop being so hypocritical. I already said it has nothing to do with you. And even if you didn't come, I would have been thinking about how to help you."
Xu Zuiyin raised his eyes and looked at Mu Xu, his expression still bitter, just because he really didn't expect it!
There are too many tricks in this capital city!
Moreover, he thought about it again and again and made sure it was not a big deal, so he agreed to his eldest brother, who is now the head of the Liu family, but he did not expect it to be like this.
However, Mu Xu looked at Xu Zuiyin's expression and scolded him with a smile: "You bastard! Look at yourself! No wonder you can't be my sweet girl! Do you know what Xun Kuang would do at this moment? That bastard will definitely stick his butt out and say, "Then you kick me. Anyway, it's already like this. After you kick me, we'll find a way to solve it."
Yao Yuanzai thought for a moment and added, "When you really kick him, that kid will definitely hide, and will even say, if you really kick him, something will happen!"
Mu Xu heard it and nodded immediately, then looked at Xu Zuiyin: "Did you hear that?"
Xu Zuiyin smiled bitterly.
He felt helpless in his heart, so he thought that his junior brother was the most suitable to be an official.
He would never be able to do such a thing.
But Xu Zuiyin thought for a while and said, "Teacher, how about I move back to the capital? I can just go and talk to my wife. You are here, and the teacher's wife is here too. We need someone to serve you. And now that something like this is going to happen, I'd better stay away from the Liu family."
It’s not that Xu Zuiyin is heartless, it’s mainly because he has no real feelings for the Liu family. After all, he was scolded as stupid since he was a child. If it weren’t for the old man of the Liu family, he might have been separated at a very young age.
Later, because he listened to Mu Xu and refused to become an official, many people looked down on him. If he had not been so knowledgeable and had not opened a school, his life would have been better and his status would have been much higher. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened.
But Xu Zuiyin had had enough of all this and just wanted to study and teach in peace, so he separated from his family early and lived alone.
There are many people like him in every aristocratic family, so he is not special.
As for his son Xu Lezhi joining the Chamber of Commerce, it was mainly because the Liu family had few members and Xu Lezhi was not doing his job properly, so he had to have a way out. So Xu Zuiyin let him join the Chamber of Commerce to help with business.
But unexpectedly, I still got myself into trouble.
So, I felt guilty after all, but I was also afraid that I would betray the teacher again in the future. After all, if the teacher went to the south, there would inevitably be more trouble. It would be better to leave and not cause trouble for the teacher!
Mu Xu smiled and said, "Finish this with me first! I'm here, no one can cheat you. Besides, in Beijing, we can't be completely stable until these things are over. Let's not talk about this, come on, let's talk about poetry. You just said that you wrote a poem for Le Zhi and asked him to take it to Liu Baishi's poetry meeting, right?"
Xu Zuiyin nodded: "Yes, I wrote a poem."
After saying this, Xu Zuiyin didn't need Mu Xu and the others to say anything special. He stood up, picked up the pen and ink beside him and started writing.
Mu Xu, Yao Yuanzai and Zhao Shi all rushed over.
Even though Xu Zuiyin lacks shrewdness in the officialdom, what he lacks is not just one or two things.
But the knowledge has been truly recognized by people in recent years.
Especially let’s not talk about poetry for now.
After writing for a few seconds, Yao Yuanzai looked at the handwriting and said with emotion: "I am drunk with writing, even more so than in the past."
Mu Xu and Zhao Shi also nodded, this writing was already worthy of being called a masterpiece.
Look at the poems again
'Last night, the wind blew a few times in front of the hall. It should be the sound of green in the morning. I couldn't sleep alone and woke up suddenly. I miss you deeply. '
After reading
Yao Yuanzai smiled and looked at Xu Zuiyin: "What's wrong, do you want Le Zhi to win the championship and make Liu Baishi smile?"
There was not much to say about this.
But actually the praise is hidden inside.
After all, winning the championship means recognition!
It further represents that this is the first masterpiece that is worthy of winning the championship!
On the other side, Mu Xu and Zhao Shi also looked at Xu Zuiyin with a smile.
The title of Oiran was obtained through her own ability. Even though she was a girl from a red-light district, the literati had no taboos regarding Oirans, especially since these people all knew of Liu Baishi's talent, so they spoke like this.
Xu Zuiyin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he immediately said, "I just wrote it down casually. After all, I have to show my support."
Mu Xu laughed and scolded when he heard this: "You have learned to be modest! Such a masterpiece is written casually. I take the poem. I don't know what to publish in the journal these days!"
Xu Zuiyin smiled bitterly: "Teacher, I have other poems here, this one is nothing."
Mu Xu spread his hands.
But just as he was about to say 'bring it here', a voice came from outside the door.
"Master Jijiu, Master Yao, Master Zhao."
Hearing this, Mu Xu opened the door and saw a student from the Imperial Academy standing at the door.
The student immediately bowed and said, "I am Li Yao, a student. Nice to meet you teachers."
The student was also very quick. He took out a piece of paper without wasting time and said, "This is the new poem of the Empress. It just won the first prize at Liu Baishi's poetry meeting in the Flower Pavilion. Mr. Ji knows that you teachers like the Empress's poems, so he specially asked the student to send it to you for your enjoyment."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xu's eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately walked forward to take the paper.
Then without further ado, he opened the paper and read the contents.
Yao Yuanzai and Zhao Shi also came over to take a look.
Xu Zuiyin is like this.
then
Xu Zuiyin said softly: "If life could only be like the first time we met"
Mu Xu took a deep breath and said with a smile: "As expected of the Queen, you are the Queen. What a wonderful poem! If only life could be as it was when we first met. I can't believe that anyone other than the Queen could write such an exquisite poem."
Having said that, Mu Xu looked at the poem that Xu Zuiyin had just praised, frowned slightly, and then directly gave it back to Xu Zuiyin: "Don't praise your casually written poems in the future! Don't you think it's embarrassing for me! Look! If life could only be like the first sight, see! Your Majesty's poems are invincible! Look at yourself, you are still the king of poetry, how can you be so shameless, hey!"
Xu Zuiyin blinked when he heard this. He was over 40 years old, and he felt so wronged when his teacher said this to him! He didn't say anything!
Mu Xu read the poem carefully, and then sighed again: "Why can the Queen always give people such surprises? There are millions of words in the world, and the Queen really uses them to the extreme. And eh? The content of this poem. The first line is a quatrain, but the content of the whole poem afterwards..."
At this point, Mu Xu's expression became strange, and then he said: "What is the meaning of this poem? Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will know it? And then His Majesty will be angry? Or do you have some hidden secrets?"
On the one hand, Yao Yuanzai, Zhao Shi, and Xu Zuiyin also naturally appreciated the whole poem.
I also deeply felt the melancholy contained in this poem.
So I was a little stunned for a moment.
Although Xu Zuiyin had just arrived in the capital, he had heard a lot of stories about the love between His Majesty and the Queen, and had also read a lot of poems along the way.
So I was a little curious at the moment.
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."
