590 [The ruler of the literati]

Shen He stood on the high platform and said with a respectful expression: "Thank you very much, Marquis Pei. The student remembers that you wrote in the poem "One Cut Plum" that the flowers are falling and the water is flowing, a kind of lovesickness, and two places of sorrow. The students can't understand it.

, because Pei Houcong

I grew up in Kyoto and never left Kyoto before the early autumn of the fourth year of Kaiping. Why did I come to these two places of leisure and sorrow? In the previous sentence, who in the clouds sent brocade books? When the wild goose returned, the moon was full on the west tower.

The top and bottom are connected, and the meaning becomes more and more confusing."

Different from the many meaningless lyrics that Pei Yue heard in his previous life, the poems of this era are basically the expression of the author's own emotions. The so-called poems are just about expressing aspirations, and even the poems about boudoir written by some men also have the meaning of reference.

The poem "One Cut Plum Blossom" by Li Qingzhao that he copied, although it fit the theme of the Lotus Banquet at that time, had little to do with his own experience, so Shen He's doubts were very natural.

Of course, this is not a problem for Pei Yue. He said calmly: "Perhaps you have fallen into a dead end. Since you also said that the poem was written after I left Beijing, the two places naturally refer to Kyoto and

Lingzhou, isn’t it a very normal emotion for me to miss my relatives and friends in Kyoto?”

King Yan nodded frequently when he ascended. The old man sitting on his left twirled his beard and said, "What Pei Hou said is reasonable and reasonable."

Someone in the audience showed dissatisfaction, obviously very dissatisfied with Shen He's indifferent questioning. Instead of taking the opportunity to let Pei Yue show his true colors and drive him out of Xianyun Village, he was obsessed with those two masterpieces.

, are you still hungover?

However, Shen He still had a smile on his face and said calmly: "Maybe the student has made a mistake. But please forgive me, Marquis Pei. I still have a question. In the lower part of the song "Su Muzhe", he wrote that my hometown is far away.

On what day will I go? I live in Wumen and have been traveling in the capital for a long time. I have searched all the documents and can't find where Wumen is. There should be no such place name in Daliang. I wonder if Marquis Pei can give me a favor and clear up my confusion?"

The pavilion suddenly became quiet.

The Yi Jian Mei written by Li Qingzhao did not name specific people and places, so it was difficult for Shen He to make a fuss about it. Pei Yue dealt with it easily.

However, the second poem Su Muzhe written by Zhou Bangyan wrote in detail about his hometown Wumen.

At that time, Pei Yue was at Chaofeng Tower in Lingzhou. Facing a group of Lingzhou officials and local talents headed by Xue Tao, he wanted to completely suppress the opponent's arrogance, so he had to throw poems at people continuously. After borrowing the words of layman Yi An,

, there were not many words and sentences related to the theme of hibiscus in his memory, and he finally remembered this poem by Su Muzhe, so he wrote it without careful consideration.

Pei Yue seemed to be staring in deep thought, but in fact he was thinking about the young man's intentions.

He doesn't need fame for his articles. Even if he never copies poems to hurt anyone in his life, he can still rise to the top with his military merit and title. It's impossible for the other party not to understand this. Even if he says that the content of this poem is fabricated by him,

Yes, what can these literati do? They just make up some jokes, which will not affect Pei Yue's foundation at all.

Looking up at the young man waiting respectfully on the high platform, Pei Yue suddenly asked: "Are you from Qinzhou Shuanglu?"

Shen He bowed his head and responded: "This is for Marquis Pei, the student is the elected son of Huating County, Shuanglu Prefecture."

A cold voice suddenly sounded: "Huating is a good place."

Everyone looked around and saw Shen Danmo, known as the most talented woman in Kyoto, speaking calmly.

Shen He saluted and said, "On behalf of the elders in my hometown, I would like to thank Miss Shen for her praise."

Shen Danmo glanced at Pei Yue meaningfully and said without a smile, "You may not know, but Uncle Xue Fang of Lingzhou is from Huating County."

Pei Yue's heart moved, and his eyes became sharp.

He remembered that before leaving Lingzhou, Xue Tao repeatedly tested him at the celebration banquet, and seemed to want to confirm that the two poems were written by Pei Yue and had nothing to do with Taohua. Although Emperor Kaiping had asked Silent Cloud to send someone to accompany the internal prison Go to Lingzhou to capture Xue Tao, but this kind of action involving the governor of a state is highly confidential. The news is only circulated among important officials and will not be spread outside at all, so as not to cause shock to the government and the public. Therefore, Shen Danmo still calls him Fang Bo. Except for a few people including King Yan and Pei Yue, no one else in the pavilion realized anything was wrong. For a while, many people looked at Shen He with eyes full of awe and envy.

This person turned out to be Xue Fangbo's fellow countryman, and now he is shining brightly in Xianyun Ping. Isn't it just around the corner to become famous?

However, Pei Yue found that there was no joy on Shen He's face. Apart from respect, there was a bit of resentment in his eyes.

Thinking of this, he cautiously replied: "The so-called Wu clan may be just a made-up place name. I hope you will forgive me for making fun of it."

Shen He nodded, and then said apologetically: "It turned out to be a made-up place name. To be honest with Pei Hou, the students were really scared to the point of breaking into a cold sweat before."

This is somewhat intriguing.

Everyone's eyes met, and there was an undercurrent in the table.

No one who can come to this Qingyun Pavilion is a real fool. Even the crazy and unruly Kuangsheng who took the stage first was actually a shill arranged by King Yan in advance to inspire other literati. In order to prevent Xianyun Ping from falling into the awkward situation of being indifferent from the beginning.

They are all smart people, and of course they know how to be obedient. With Shen He acting like this, is there really something wrong with that poem?

King Yan noticed that the whispers in the pavilion had become louder, and he couldn't help but frowned, and said to the stage: "Shen He, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't hide it, or let others talk about right and wrong."

Of course he didn't want to deal with Pei Yue, but rumors were difficult to deal with. In addition, Pei Yue was a martial artist and didn't care about his reputation for poetry. Even if he took a step back and said those two poems were copied by Pei Yue, it would actually be wrong. It doesn't really matter, but the speculation caused by the inability to speak is the most troublesome.

Shen He coughed slightly and said: "The students were curious and wanted to know the allusion in the song "Su Muzhe", but they were very troubled because they couldn't find the origin of the Wu clan. Not long ago, by chance, The students knew a merchant from the south. When he talked about the allusion in this poem, he told the students that Wumen really does exist in the world."

Pei Yue was vaguely aware of the other party's intentions and asked calmly: "Really?"

Shen He smiled at him, nodded and said: "It turns out that there is indeed a Wumen Town in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, but it is not as famous as Pingjiang Town. What surprised the students even more is that it is said that there is actually a lotus pond in that Wumen Town."

The literati in the pavilion were all well-educated and knowledgeable, and had surprisingly good memories. Someone immediately recited the entire poem "Su Muzhe".

"Burn agarwood to relieve the heat.

Birds call out for the clear sky, peeking into the eaves at dawn.

On the leaves, the sun rises and the rain falls.

The water surface is clear and round, and the wind lifts each piece.

My hometown is far away, when will I go?

He lives in Wumen and has been traveling in the capital for a long time.

Do you remember each other in May, the fisherman?

A small boat, dreaming of entering Furongpu."



King Yan and the great scholars around him all changed their expressions.

The upper part of this poem is beautifully written, but the lower part has a different meaning.

If you go by what Shen He said, this is clearly a homesickness poem.

The problem is that Pei Yue is a descendant of the Pei family in Dingguo Prefecture, but he misses his hometown in the Southern Zhou Dynasty. Isn't this extremely ridiculous?

At this time, Shen He finally stopped hesitating and looked at Pei Yue with a strange expression on his face and asked: "Pei Hou, students heard that you captured many Southern Zhou craftsmen some time ago. As a Liang people, they are all excited. It's just a little surprising.

What is true is that the Southern Zhou Dynasty carefully worked on

However, the leader escaped. Facing the hundreds of thousands of Wu troops in the western border, Pei Hou was still able to strategize and win thousands of miles away. Unexpectedly, under the favorable circumstances of the time and place, he actually allowed the leader of the Southern Zhou Dynasty to escape. It is really sad.

.”

Pei Yue suddenly chuckled.

Shen He then asked: "Why is Marquis Pei laughing?"

Facing the increasingly strange looks from others, Pei Yue said calmly: "Are you suspecting that I am collaborating with the enemy and treason?"

The whole hall was completely silent except for the rustling mountain breeze.

Shen He shook his head and said: "Of course the student will not be so stupid, but the student finally believed what Pei Hou said before, and those two poems were not written by Pei Hou."

His cold eyes suddenly looked behind Pei Yue.

It fell on Taohua, who looked confused.
