"When will the bright moon come? I drink wine and ask the blue sky, but I don't know what year it is in the palace in the sky. I want to ride the wind back, but I am afraid that the beautiful buildings and jade buildings will be too cold at high places. I dance to clear the shadows, how can it be like being in the human world?"
Following the sound, under the moonlight, I saw an elegant scholar wearing a Confucian shirt and soft hat, holding a cup in one hand, standing on the boat, and leisurely swinging towards the round platform. At first glance, it looked like the layman Qinglian had climbed out of the tomb.
It came out and was floating on the water. Such an appearance was really exciting. The noise in the surroundings suddenly disappeared and everyone looked towards the stage.
"Turn around the Zhuge Pavilion, lower the Qihu household, and the light will never sleep. There should be no hatred, why will it last forever when we say goodbye..."
The boat lightly touched the edge of the round platform, and the man came on stage with a toast, his big sleeves fluttering, and every step he said was so elegant. When he stood still on the stage and turned around, Xia Xun couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that
This man is none other than Huang Zhen Huang Yushi who stole the sheep.
Huang Yushi held the cup in his hand very coquettishly, and said with a bright smile: "My lords, all new scholars, with the emperor's permission and the Ministry of Rites, we will accompany the wine with poems and have fun together on Lake Mochou tonight. It is the time when the imperial army is arriving.
As the north is winning one after another and the good news is spreading frequently, we are gathered here to celebrate together. Let us first congratulate..., Ouch, who is throwing things at me?"
Huang Zhen suddenly shouted and covered his head with his hands. Li Jinglong cursed angrily: "It's me!"
He was still holding a walnut in his hand, and he cursed eagerly: "My lord, please tell me where the singing and dancing people came from which courtyard. They want to show off their singing and dancing. Why do you, an old man, come up and make noise? Tonight's poetry and wine party, but...
It’s just to celebrate the new scholars who have leaped over the dragon gate, high-ranking officials have to do it, and they have to ride horses, so there are so many good and bad reasons!”
When Li Jinglong heard the frequent reports of good news from the north, he became angry. He had just picked up a piece of fried walnut and threw it away. Fang Xiaoru's face darkened and he scolded: "Huang Yushi is a high official of the imperial court.
Tonight I am hosting a poetry and wine event, and those present here are either ministers or new scholars. Doesn’t Mr. Cao Guo think he is too rude?"
Li Jinglong glanced at him coldly and said calmly: "Li? What is etiquette? Can it be eaten? Can it be worn? Or can it be used as a soldier?"
Fang Xiaoru was furious and slapped the table and said: "Ritual is the foundation of the country. To govern the people, no one should be good at etiquette. When etiquette flourishes, the public will govern; when etiquette is abolished, the public will lead to chaos. You are the leader of the country at that time."
Sir, how can you behave so disrespectfully?"
Li Jinglong was not annoyed. He held his hands with a smile and said: "Wonderful, wonderful. Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Li Jinglong has learned a lesson."
Fang Xiaoru didn't expect that he would accept his lesson so readily. He was slightly startled at first, but then he felt a little happy when he saw that a duke had been taught by him to admit his mistakes. He flicked his sleeves and said: "That's it! Ambassador Huang, please
you……"
"Wait!"
Li Jinglong crossed Erlang's legs, crouched his ankles, and said leisurely: "I, Li Jinglong, turned out to be ungrateful and offended Lord Huang. Here, I will give you, Lord Huang, some trouble."
"Ah, ah..."
Huang Zhen stood on the stage and wanted to bow. The wine was still full. He raised his glass but felt that it was not the case. He was a little embarrassed.
Li Jinglong raised his voice and asked: "Mr. Xiaozhi, what position does he hold in the court now?"
Fang Xiaoru is now a doctor of literature and a fifth-rank official. Although he is actually the prime minister of the dynasty and has great power, his official position has not yet been fulfilled. Fang Xiaoru held up his hands and said: "Thanks to the emperor's trust, Fang is now a doctor of literature.
The fifth grade of the current dynasty."
"Wow! When you are governing the people, you must not be good at etiquette. When etiquette flourishes, the public will govern; when etiquette is abolished, the public will lead to chaos. I, Li Jinglong, have learned from this."
Li Jinglong slapped the table, looked at him and sneered: "I, Li Jinglong, am a first-rank official in the current dynasty, and I have been given the title of Duke. My Duke came later than you, and you are sitting there in such a big way, but you, a fifth-rank official, don't get up to greet me!"
The official has been seated. It has been so long and I haven’t seen you, a fifth-rank official, come up to say hello! Where is the etiquette? May I ask Dr. Fang, what kind of etiquette is this?"
Li Jinglong spoke louder and louder as he went on, and his tone became stern: "Li Jinglong is ignorant and has no skills, and he doesn't know whether he is right or wrong. If he is wrong, I ask you, Doctor Fang, for advice. According to our Ming etiquette system, officials meet each other.
, those whose grades differ by more than four levels, the humble one will bow down, the venerable one will sit and accept it, and if you have something to do, kneel down and do nothing. Dr. Fang Da, please set an example and bow now!"
Xu Huizu was annoyed, jumped up and said: "Li Jiujiang, don't mess around!"
"Nonsense?"
Li Jinglong's eyes flashed with sternness, and he said with a ferocious smile: "Wei Guogong, etiquette is the foundation of the country. I am observing etiquette, how could it become nonsense?" He glanced at Fang Xiaoru, and said in a deep voice: "Fang Xiaoru,
Do you want to bow or not? If you don’t, then the salute is nonsense! From now on, don’t keep saying anything about saluting to the prince of your country!”
In full view of everyone, everyone was watching. Fang Xiaoru's face turned red and white, feeling ashamed.
Although his official position is not high, he has always been highly valued by the emperor, just like the prime minister of the dynasty. Who does not respect him? Now even the Duke of Wei, Xu Huizu, is respectful to him. When he first arrived in Beijing, in these small details, he was still very respectful.
He is more careful. When he sees an official of higher rank than himself, he knows how to step aside and salute. Over time, he has become accustomed to others' flattery towards him. Now, he ranks as a fifth-rank official, a duke, a count, and a first- and second-rank official.
The senior officials didn't feel awkward at all when they sat together, but took it for granted. Now Li Jinglong suddenly turned against him, making his face burn.
He just taught Li Jinglong that "when etiquette flourishes, the public will govern; when etiquette is abolished, the public will cause chaos." Now, does he abide by this etiquette?
When Xu Huizu saw his face, Li Jinglong pouted back, and he glared at Xu Zengshou fiercely. Xu Zengshou invited this guy here just to make people sick. He was not the one who instigated Li Jinglong to cause such trouble.
This step was a bit beyond his expectation. Xu Zengshou hurriedly tugged on Li Jinglong's sleeves and whispered: "Jiujiang, don't..."
Li Jinglong threw his hand and said seriously: "Third brother, when etiquette is promoted, the public will rule it; when etiquette is abolished, the public will be in chaos. Can you afford this crime?"
"Well……"
Xu Zengshou was also dumbfounded: "When did Li Jiujiang become such a donkey?"
At first, Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng used Li Jinglong to squeeze out the Xu family, and he was used willingly. But later, the two men abandoned their troops to protect the commander and blew Li Jinglong's nose like a big nose. Li Jinglong was filled with hatred. He was already like this anyway.
A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, but is it afraid of offending Fang Xiaoru? His mentality at this time is quite similar to that of Prince Ning when he was forced into a desperate situation. He was just pretending to be crazy.
In the early Ming Dynasty, the hierarchy was very strict. There were strict regulations on what clothes and hats the officials and gentry should wear, as well as the length of their sleeves. Fang Xiaoru had just taught Li Jinglong a lesson openly. Now that what Li Jinglong said was well-founded, what could he do?
Fang Xiaoru gritted her teeth, walked over with a flushed face, knelt down in front of Li Jinglong, bowed four times, and held back a voice from her throat: "I am the official Xiaoru, and I pay my respects to Duke Cao Guo."
Li Jinglong shook his robe, looked down at Fang Xiaoru at his feet and said, "Dr. Fang, do you have anything to report?"
Fang Xiaoru gritted his teeth and said, "The lower official only came to see Mr. Cao Guogong here, so he came forward to pay his respects. He had nothing to report."
"oh!"
Li Jinglong nodded and said with a bright face: "Get up. The officials and the people are having fun together today. Go back to your seats and enjoy poetry and music. Don't disturb the interest of my prince in chatting and laughing with his colleagues and friends."
"Thank you, Duke Guo!"
Fang Xiaoru kowtowed again. When he got up again, his face was ashen. He returned to his seat and said, "Fang is feeling unwell. I cannot attend tonight's poetry and wine party. Dear Zhou officials, please take your leave."
Xu Huizu stood up hurriedly and said: "Mr. Xiaozhi..."
Fang Xiaoru fluttered his sleeves and left, only to be greeted by a breeze.
Xu Huizu stood blankly for a moment, and then quickly followed him. Chen Di, the Minister of Rites, saw this and hurriedly followed him to persuade him. As soon as the three people left, Huang Zhen stood on the stage, preparing all the coquettish words.
He couldn't come out, so he quickly spoke briefly, ended his speech in a hurry, let the kabuki dancers from the Kyobo Division come on stage, and the poetry and wine party began hastily.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Xia Xun was very happy. After he arrived in Beijing, he had already learned how Li Jinglong was abandoned by his civilian allies after his defeat. Seeing the tit-for-tat confrontation between Li Jinglong and Fang Xiaoru at this moment strengthened his idea of instigating rebellion against Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong was
He may be incompetent militarily, but this does not mean that Li Jinglong is incompetent, or that the Li family is incompetent.
If the Li family didn't have its own faction and subordinates, and was powerful enough, how could Huang Zicheng have the ability to help him take the position and replace the Zhongshan Palace? Furthermore, although Li Jinglong was squeezed out of the center of power, he was actually fighting against the Yan army.
For a general who has fought several battles, if the DPRK has any major military plans, he will still be consulted for details. He is someone who has the opportunity to participate in the military plan. Once the rebellion is successful...
The more Xia Xun thought about it, the more excited he became. He didn't notice that Xu Huizu came back angrily and called Xu Zengshou away again.
Xu Huizu caught up with Fang Xiaoru, but Fang Xiaoru also had a fiery personality. If he was still a professor at Hanzhong Fuxue, he might not think anything of it, but now he is like the prime minister of the country.
Disrespect? It was a natural thing to have a bad temper when he was promoted, but now it was a huge humiliation inflicted on him by Li Jinglong in full view of the public.
Now, that good-for-nothing Li Jinglong kept insisting on the word "property" and asked him to bow his head. Fang Xiaoru regarded it as a great shame and humiliation. How could he have the nerve to sit and drink in front of his colleagues and his disciples? Xu Huizu
Although he caught up with him and apologized humbly for a while, he still left in anger.
Seeing that Xu Huizu's plan to negotiate a peace with the civil servants failed, the grudge between them became even deeper after this incident. Xu Huizu was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He returned to the ship angrily, and with a sullen face he called Lao San to follow him. Li Jinglong today
On the contrary, he was a bachelor. He had offended Fang Xiaoru, a powerful figure, so he was still afraid of Boss Xu? You are the Duke of the country, and I am also the Duke of the country. We are all unlucky, no one is afraid of the other. So he followed carelessly.
Huaiqing's consort was worried that Xu Zengshou would be reprimanded by Xu Huizu, who was in anger, and he was also worried that Li Jinglong would have a sexual attack and make a big fuss with Wei Guogong, so he followed him until Xia Xun's countermeasures against Li Jinglong were slightly sketched in his mind.
, when Shen'er woke up and came back, these people were all gone, and the other people on the boat were already drinking and drinking, and it became extremely lively.
Big shots always feel that they are an indispensable and important decoration at the banquet. In fact, in the eyes of ordinary people, what they dislike most is their presence. As long as they are there, others, even if they are not holding wine glasses, are always watching his every move to see if he is
Who can drink to the fullest without just sitting there pretending to drink to see if he is in high spirits after just finishing a drink so that he can find the best time to propose a toast?
As soon as these two groups of people left, the petty officials and new scholars all breathed a sigh of relief. You raised your glass and I poured the wine, you recited poems and I opposed them. It was really relaxing and enjoyable.
All the big shots at Meng Shilang's table were gone, so he simply sat at a table with a few Jinshi. These Jinshi were not ordinary people. The top three, number one, number two, and third overall were all here.
Meng Fusheng twisted his beard and said: "I was receiving envoys from Japan and Shanhou State at that time, and I did not watch your performance in the palace. Afterwards, I read the records, haha... Hu Jing, your sentence of 'I am solid'
The way of sages, benevolence and righteousness will be applied by Your Majesty from beginning to end. I hope that Your Majesty will not regard the minister’s words as circumlocution, but practice them with sincerity, and the effect will be more than today.’ It is indeed the finishing touch, no wonder it is selected as a modern subject.
The top pick."
Hu Jing had a look on his face, and he quickly held the cup and said: "How dare you, a young man, to be praised like this by the boss? Sir, please give me a drink."
Wang Gen on the side was a little surprised when he heard this, because he should have been the first person in this department, all because he was not as good looking as Hu Jing and Zhou Zheng. The emperor had switched their rankings. Now he heard that Meng Shilang
Wang Gen felt very uncomfortable when he praised Hu Jing.
Meng Fusheng, who has been in officialdom for many years, is so old-fashioned. He caught a glimpse of it and praised it again: "Wang Gen, you said, 'I heard that one person is the leader in the world, and the ruler is based on one heart. The leader's heart has a direction, and he will do his best to follow it.
'Zhi.' is also extremely wonderful and can be called a good sentence."
Wang Gen smiled faintly, cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, you are ridiculous. Compared with Hu Jing's talent and learning, the late student is still inferior. Otherwise, why would he be so inferior?"
This man had an upright character and was not good at talking. Meng Fusheng was a little unhappy when he heard this. Tanhua Li Guan looked at his appearance and hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Ah! Wan Sheng also heard that the minister was welcoming the envoys of the vassal country that day.
So I was never present. Uh... those two seats next to me are the envoys of Japan and Shanhou Kingdom? I heard that people from that country have admired our Chinese culture for a long time, and have also studied my Chinese poetry and calligraphy. Let's drink poetry tonight
It’s such a grand gathering that they are only drinking. Why don’t we ask the envoys from the two countries to compose a poem to accompany the wine?”
Meng Fusheng nodded happily. He had already toasted to those two tables just now, but the guests at each table were reciting poems and composing poems. Only the guests at those two tables were only drinking, which was out of tune with everyone. He was feeling a little left out.
The foreign guest wanted to toast another glass of wine. He was very happy when he heard the proposal and praised: "Okay, okay, Li Guanna, your proposal is very good."
Meng Fusheng raised his glass and walked to Shimazu Mitsuo and He Tianyang. He smiled and said: "Two distinguished envoys, tonight there is a grand poetry and wine event. Poems are used to accompany wine, and wine is used to assist poetry. The two distinguished envoys only drink but do not chant. How can it be possible?"
, Haha, how about asking each of you to recite a poem and compose one?"
When Mitsuo Shimazu heard this, the two black dots on his eyebrows moved, he pressed his hands on the table, his eyes widened, and he said nervously: "Nani?"
He Tianyang thought the cup was too small, so he changed it to a big bowl and was drinking heavily. When he heard the poem recited, he put the big bowl down and said with a big tongue: "Ha...what?"
p: Please ***, recommend votes! Everyone has been so supportive in the past two days, and I am so moved that I don’t dare to ask for votes. But if I don’t ask for votes, it will give everyone the illusion that “there is still one more chapter”, so I don’t dare to ask for them.
,haha^_^
As soon as the handover procedures are being completed, it will take some time to pay for medical insurance, pension and so on. In addition, my physical condition is extremely poor, so I need an adjustment period. Once I feel better, I will try my best to update it as much as possible.
Yes, my eyes now feel sore and shed tears after looking at things for a long time. Take a break.
I'm going to do the eighth set of radio gymnastics...
