Chapter 241 Can an artist be called a prostitute?
Speaking of which, when it was revealed that Li You had been fooling around in Jiaofangsi's crowd of fans, other people just had the mentality of watching a show, or they were very happy.
Because Li You was so in the limelight today. When others congratulated her on their birthday, Queen Mother Qian only replied with a few polite words. Only Li You and the Queen Mother chatted about daily life for almost a quarter of an hour. How could they not arouse jealousy? Let alone the previous ones.
That birthday poem with mighty rhetoric, shocking flattery, and overwhelming all others.
But the Queen Mother herself was not angry. A Queen Mother who was able to rule steadily for eight years despite being orphaned and widowed, of course knew clearly what matters should be carefully investigated and what matters should be ignored and tolerated. It is rare to be confused. Li You's ugly behavior,
It wasn't worth taking her seriously, and she would just laugh it off if she heard it. It's just that this person was unlucky enough to be exposed publicly on this occasion.
She can't pretend to be confused, but the issue of rewards and punishments for Li You puts Empress Dowager Qian in a difficult position. It is not easy to be the best in the world. Whether she is rewarded or punished will be scrutinized and evaluated by others, and countless speculations will be deduced and analyzed, so be cautious
.
Originally, Li You should be rewarded for his outstanding poetry today, but because of the scandal, it is not appropriate to increase his rank and advance as originally planned. On the other hand, if there is no reward and only punishment, it is not very appropriate. According to
My daughter said that Li You, who was always quick in writing, had to work hard for more than a month to complete the thirty chapters and one thousand six hundred and eighty words. His loyalty and filial piety must not be dampened.
The Empress Dowager Cisheng was worthy of being touted by Li You as "Yao and Shun among women". After a moment's thought, she began to think twice. She first scolded: "Young people should be careful about their temper and sex. How can they go out to look for flowers and ask for help and attract criticism? This has become a problem."
How decent?"
He also told Princess Guide: "Li You is alone in Beijing, so it is inevitable that there will be inconvenience. You choose the two stable and sensible maids and send them to Li You's house to calm their minds, as a gift for today."
Granting two maids is of course a reward, but it does not attract jealousy or gossip, and at the same time it is a warning to Li You, which is the best of both worlds.
Li You knew very well that it was proper to express gratitude at this time and get rid of the scandal. No matter what the reward or punishment was, let’s talk about it first. Besides, the one chosen to enter the palace would never be too ugly!
He was about to come forward to kowtow, but he heard the solemn invitation from the God of Guide Qiantai, who said sternly to his mother: "There are laws from our ancestors. Officials are not allowed to stay with prostitutes and call in prostitutes. Mr. Li entered the court as a minister and openly violated the law on the Queen Mother's birthday."
This prohibition, how can the crime of disrespect be tolerated lightly? The mother is wise, but the daughter is too bold to obey the edict."
Morally speaking, the eldest princess was completely justified and assumed that "law enforcement must be strict and violations must be punished." No one could say she was wrong. The internal prisoners who were beaten to death expressed underground that this was the normal state of Chitose.
…
The dead eunuch only said that I went to the Jiaofang Division, but you got the reputation of being a prostitute, which can be tolerated? But Li You, who had failed, felt aggrieved. Hearing this, he stepped forward and retorted: "Your Highness Qiansui"
This is a big fallacy. How can the lower official be a lustful person? The Ministry of Rites inspected the singing and dancing, and the lower official took the opportunity to go and watch it."
What a clumsy and stupid excuse. In the past, the prince-in-law had been used a lot. Wouldn’t men change their tricks? Princess Guide sneered again and again: "What are you going to do if you are not greedy for sex?"
There were several people in the palace who had just come of age and were attending this kind of occasion for the first time. When they saw His Highness Chitose suddenly falling out with Li You, a sentence came to their mind - as the saying goes, a king is like a tiger, and the old saying is indeed true. This has not happened yet.
At your height, His Highness Chitose is already like this.
My world, you don't understand... you don't understand... Li You gradually self-hypnotized and transformed into a poet state, like a boy asking God to come to his body.
His expression suddenly changed, and he said solemnly: "The official has recently heard about the old story between the Wu thieves and Chen Yuanyuan, a famous prostitute in Suzhou during the Chongzhen period. He wanted to imitate Bai Letian's song of everlasting regret, so he went to the Jiaofang Bureau to collect information, so that he might be able to speculate and observe the words, deeds, and character of that generation.
!”
After a pause, Li You said sadly: "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? I'm just here to explore the way of literature. Why would I put myself in a place of fireworks? I don't want it to lead to all kinds of misunderstandings. There are three tastes in the poet's mind."
, It’s hard for outsiders to understand, it’s hard for outsiders to understand, how can I express it in words!”
The eldest princess of Guide, Li You, was dismissive of what she said. Seeing that Li You did not admit her mistake and begged her for forgiveness, but instead spoke plausibly, she felt even more annoyed. She couldn't help but scolded: "This is a shameless sophistry."
Guide Chitose didn't believe it, but some people still believed Li You's words...Zhu Fanghe, known as Chaotang Jiyu, came out of the crowd to smooth things over and said, "Is that what you meant? Will Mr. Li gain something?"
What a good partner! Well-deserved for the timely rain! Li You praised Zhu Bulang in his heart while shaking his head and chanting: "Dinghu abandoned the world at that time, the rebels gathered in the capital and went to Yuguan, weeping that all the six armies were in good condition, rushing to the top - anger turned into beauty!
"
The opening few sentences made the knowledgeable Zhu Fanghe praise him in his heart. When he was eager to continue, he saw Li You stopped and asked: "These few sentences came out of the air and wrote that Emperor Yizong was unable to save his life.
, when the mountains and rivers are broken, a line of beauty is suddenly interspersed, which is an ingenious and meaningful allegory for the Wu thieves. It has the charm of a long song of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It is indeed like the emperor of Han Dynasty who focused on color and thought of the country, and the emperor could not find it for many years. Now Yuefu
The genre of songs is very rare, and the best ones are rare. Are there any others? To learn from the style of the Yuan and Bai Dynasties, you can’t just limit yourself to four sentences?"
Li You smiled bitterly and said: "I only wrote these four sentences because I felt it. The rest of it was not completed yet, so I was summoned by the Queen Mother. I will only finish it in the future and share it with you."
Mr. Fanghe sighed: "I often regret that the good works of Changge have disappeared in recent times. I think you are the only one who has the talent to fill the gap. It seems that I am no longer so lucky today."
Zhu Fanghe was an expert in poetry among the emperor's relatives. He said it was wonderful, and everyone in the palace understood that it was really good, really wonderful, and it must be the best.
Anyone who knows a little bit about poetry knows that in the long song genre, it is difficult to have a good work that can be called outstanding after the Tang Dynasty, let alone one that can compete with Li Du Yuanbai. How can a literati who has read the Four Books and Five Classics and tested the eight-part essay have such wanton and unrestrained style**
*Talent.
According to Mr. Fanghe, only Li Sheren can reach this level in the world.
At this time, Li You was suddenly enveloped by the aura of the famous poet, with a 100% moral bonus. Can an artist be called a prostitute? That's looking for artistic inspiration. You laymen like you don't understand.
Others may believe it to be true, but Princess Guide understands that it was definitely Li You who did it at the last moment. He has always been so slippery. In such a situation, he can make up some jokes and still make people applaud?
He also thought that if he kept being sour and jealous, others would notice something strange, so he had no choice but to snort and stop. He didn't bother to look at Li You's high-spirited look, so he looked up at Liang Antu's back.
count.
Seeing that the eldest princess had stopped speaking, Queen Mother Qian only said that her daughter, who never bowed her head easily, was completely convinced. She looked at the time again, waved her hand and said: "Li You, go back and complete this poem and submit it. The Ai family wants to read it personally."
.Today, you are specially allowed to enter the Jiaofang Division to collect style. You will not do this again."
It became an elegant thing, and the Empress Dowager Cisheng was of course willing to join in the fun and help Li You. If Li You could really write the Song of Everlasting Regret, the long song style poems that have been sung through the ages like Pipa Xing would be regarded as the beauty of the humanities of this dynasty and the pearl of the prosperous times.
And she, Queen Mother Qian, was the patron. I think Li You, who was so well-behaved and sensible, would have praised her in the preface of the poem.
In this way, she can also show her generosity and kindness to the literati, which will increase her good reputation. To win the hearts of scholars and become famous in the history of "Yao and Shun" among women, it is all accumulated from small things bit by bit.
The matter was settled, and Li Youru, a famous poet of this dynasty, was granted amnesty. Under the gaze of countless admiring eyes (of course mixed with some envy, jealousy and hatred), he hurriedly walked out of the palace after saying goodbye.
As he walked, he thought, if he plagiarized this Yuanyuan song, he would have to carefully revise it. If there were no historical changes, he would still copy the original sentences. It would be hard to explain when something went wrong. Otherwise, why would he dare to reveal only the first four sentences with clear facts in public?
