Chapter five hundred and eighty first peach blossom poem
As expected, the title of today’s poem is Peach Blossom.
Moreover, Zhang Pei specially asked Zhang Wenshan and Lu Heng to serve as judges to judge the level and quality of the poems written by these people.
This is also the idea he has come up with in the past few days.
Lu Heng and Zhang Wenshan, who are in high positions, should be people who are not short of money, and they are not short of fame. If they take action in these two aspects, it may make people feel disgusted.
However, people who hold high positions like the compliments of others and the feeling of having great power. This has been true since ancient times.
Even the emperor can't lack sycophants, that's why.
Let Lu Heng and Zhang Wenshan be the judges of this poetry competition. Firstly, you can show your respect for them. Secondly, you can also express their extraordinary status and identity to everyone present in a very tactful way.
Seeing Zhang Wenshan stunned for a moment, then stroking his beard and laughing, Zhang Pei breathed a sigh of relief and knew that this arrangement was very good.
But Lu Heng smiled slightly. When he looked at Zhang Pei, the clear look in his eyes made Zhang Pei feel guilty for a while.
However, after seeing Lord Zhang Wenshan say a few words in Lu Heng's ear, the Imperial Master turned around again, glanced at himself, shook his head slightly and smiled, and his face looked much better.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Pei's anxious heart finally relaxed.
Lifting up his sleeves and wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Zhang Pei let out a long breath and exhaled, it was finally okay!
Although I don’t know what Mr. Zhang Wenshan said to the Imperial Master. However, it seems that his move should be successful.
While these people were talking, the students in the audience were also writing and writing with great enthusiasm. For a while, there were constant cheers in the audience.
As for the students who were praised by everyone, their faces turned purple with excitement, and they tried their best to act like, "I haven't used this poem to my fullest yet." They suppressed the ecstasy in their hearts, and in the spirit of
He put his face in his hands and smiled at everyone, saying concessions.
The poems were like snowflakes, flying in front of Lu Heng and Zhang Wenshan.
The master personally presented it to me with a very respectful expression.
"The prosperous literary style of Jiangnan is well-deserved!" Zhang Wenshan looked at these brilliant poems, twirled his beard and sighed in admiration. After casually glancing at a poem in his hand, he passed the poem to Lu Heng beside him.
Said: "What a poem!"
Lu Heng smiled, took a look at it, smiled slightly, nodded and said, "It is indeed a good poem!"
The poem says: The wild peaches are all over the mountain without an owner, and the fairy guest comes alone with a bottle. The fragrance of the moon leaves me drunk, for whom does the color bloom every spring?
At first glance, this poem seems to have some resentful feelings from a woman. However, the wording of the poem still shows that it was written by a man. The poet uses the fragrance and elegance of peach blossoms and the lack of being discovered to convey the poet's emotion about his unappreciated talent.
After Lu Heng picked up the poem and read it, he turned his head, looked at Zhang Pei who was sitting down, smiled, shook the poem and said, "Did you write this poem?"
As early as just now, Lu Heng saw Zhang Pei secretly take out a piece of white paper from his arms and hand it to the master. Thinking about it, this poem was written by Zhang Pei. He used it to express his gratitude to himself and
Zhang Wenshan asked, what is his future?
Hearing the emperor's secret words, Zhang Pei blushed fiercely. He lowered his head and smiled awkwardly, but he didn't know how to answer.
"You are thirty-five this year, right?" Zhang Wenshan twirled his beard and thought for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Zhang Peidao.
Zhang Pei didn't know what Mr. Zhang meant by asking about this, but he still bowed and saluted, and said quickly: "Your Excellency, you are right, I will be thirty-five this year, and in two days, I will be thirty-six!"
"Oh?" Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, then put down the tea cup and said, "Then, Lu will wish Mr. Zhang a happy birthday again, haha!"
"How dare you, how dare you!" Zhang Pei was flattered and quickly stood up to return the favor.
"Thirty-five, that's not too young!" Zhang Wenshan's silver hair looked much bleaker under the blowing of the night wind.
Probably because I recalled what happened when I was young, and I felt quite sentimental for a while.
Zhang Pei lowered his head, not knowing how to answer.
"I have noticed the life of the people in Zhoushan! You strengthened the coastal defense in Zhoushan and suppressed pirates. The life of the people in Zhoushan is pretty good. Except for the stupid things you did some time ago!" Zhang Wenshan looked at Zhang Pei,
He smiled and said, "However, compared to me back then, you are more pragmatic than me, and you can do better than me!"
The meaning of Zhang Wenshan's words is very obvious. I am very dissatisfied with the fact that you colluded with the Wang family some time ago and wanted to occupy Peach Blossom Manor.
When he said this, Zhang Wenshan's eyes flashed with a stern look, and his tone became a little unkind.
Hearing Mr. Zhang Wenshan talk about what happened to him a few days ago, Zhang Pei was startled and sweat broke out on his forehead. However, before he could kneel down to apologize, he heard
After Zhang Wenshan's second sentence, he breathed a sigh of relief and said humbly: "How dare you lower your rank if you praise me too much!".
Zhang Wenshan shook his head. After a moment of silence, he raised his head, stared at Zhang Pei, and asked seriously: "Be prepared these days. Shanxi has just finished the war. It is a time when everything is waiting to be done. The capable officials are very
It's a scarcity. You should go there first and become a county magistrate. Remember, if you don't do well, I won't let you go. The old and new accounts will be settled together!"
From mayor to county magistrate, this is a three-level promotion in a row.
Zhang Pei was overjoyed and hurriedly raised his hands in salute: "My lord, I will keep your kindness in mind!"
"Don't thank me, thank him!" Zhang Wenshan raised his finger and pointed at Lu Heng beside him. After saying this, he picked up the tea and drank it by himself.
Lu Heng glanced at Zhang Wenshan speechlessly and shook his head helplessly.
Turning his head and seeing Zhang Pei's eager eyes, Lu Heng lowered his head and coughed. After taking a sip of tea, he raised his head, looked at Zhang Pei and said calmly: "Do a good job. The imperial court pays great attention to Shanxi, and so does your Majesty."
Very concerned, you know!”
Your Majesty also pays attention to Shanxi?
Then when I go to Shanxi to take up my post, wouldn't I be working under His Majesty's eyes? If I do well, His Majesty will see it...
Be good!
The official career is very good!
Zhang Pei's eyes flashed, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his mouth opened wide, and he forgot to thank him for a moment.
After a while, Zhang Pei came back to his senses and stammered his gratitude to Lu Heng for his great kindness. For a moment, he didn't know what he said.
Lu Heng smiled and waved his hand, letting him go down.
The atmosphere in the venue was still lively, the talents were full of ideas, and excellent works were constantly presented.
While Zhang Wenshan was looking at the poem in his hand, he was looking at Lu Heng beside him a little absent-mindedly.
"Any words?" Lu Heng smiled, turned around, glanced at Zhang Wenshan, then turned his attention to the poems that were constantly being sent to him, and asked lightly.
Zhang Wenshan hesitated for a moment. He sighed, put down the poem in his hand, turned his head, and looked at Lu Heng seriously. He considered the words and said hesitantly: "I know you don't like to hear it, but I still want to ask you.
One sentence!"
"Are you really unwilling to go back?"
Lu Heng remained silent, just holding the tea cup and sipping lightly.
Seeing that Lu Heng didn't answer, Zhang Wenshan sighed and said with sadness in his eyes. "Since you are unwilling to interfere in the government affairs, why do you strongly recommend this Zhang Pei? To be honest, I am very unhappy with him." Zhang Wenshan
Angrily, he pointed in the direction Zhang Pei left and said with an unkind expression.
After being very excited for a while, Zhang Wenshan saw that Lu Heng was still silent, and sighed in disinterest: "Your Majesty is very guilty about what happened that day, and he wants you to go back! His Majesty said, after a while
In a month, the peach blossoms in the Tokyo Peach Garden will bloom, and by then King Huainan will also be back. The table of wine for three people has already been set!"
When he left Beijing, His Majesty's health deteriorated again. He coughed constantly every day, and his originally tall figure now looked as if he was decrepit and decrepit.
Every day, seeing His Majesty's pale face and stooped body, Zhang Wenshan, as a close minister, felt quite uncomfortable.
He wanted to persuade but didn't know how.
Finally one day, His Majesty called him to the imperial study. He talked about the scene when he and Lu Heng met at the White Horse Temple in Tokyo with great nostalgia. While laughing and joking, his eyes were filled with joy. He said proudly that he had discovered it for Da Zhou.
I have found a famous official from ancient times! I have also found myself a best friend who will never forget him! A true friend.
From the encounter at the White Horse Temple, to Lu Heng's advice and suggestions, to the conquest of Goryeo, the national power of the Great Zhou Dynasty was booming. The eyes of the old emperor were full of energy.
The emperor even said with a proud look on his face: Even if he dies now, he will not feel ashamed in front of the late emperor. In all of this, he has surpassed the late emperor.
Later, when the matter about the underground palace was mentioned, the emperor struggled and sighed, with a look of regret in his eyes.
The emperor sighed and simply said: I didn't expect that Lu Heng's reaction would be so intense!
At nightfall, the emperor, who had worked hard all day, waved his hand and let Zhang Wenshan go down.
When Zhang Wenshan was about to go out, he heard the emperor behind him sighing: Who can I ask when the country is in trouble?
A few days later, the emperor finally made up his mind and asked Lu Heng to return to the palace.
Moreover, the person sent out was Kong Kanglian, a talented person who was usually inferior to the emperor. The emperor spent a long time trying to get Kong Kanglian to take over the job.
But unexpectedly, a month later, Kong Kanglian returned without success.
After the emperor was silent for several days, he called Zhang Wenshan to his side.
…
Hearing Zhang Wenshan mention his old words again, Liu Qingqing and the other girls on the side immediately pouted and looked at Zhang Wenshan with unnatural expressions in their beautiful eyes.
After a moment of silence, Lu Heng turned around, looked at Zhang Wenshan and smiled slightly. After shaking the poem in his hand, he said with a smile: "It's so difficult that Zhang Pei hosted a banquet again today to invite local students to write poems and essays. Why?"
Well, old man Zhang, can we both sing a song too?"
Zhang Wenshan was stunned for a moment, feeling a little confused about Lu Heng's thoughts. After looking at it for a long time, he smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, I haven't seen your poems for a long time!"
Lu Heng smiled, turned around, stretched out his hand and grabbed the brush on the table. After thinking for a moment, the tip of the brush touched the paper, and the brush moved like flying. A poem that has been passed down for generations to come was written in one fell swoop:
“Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, Peach Blossom Fairy in Peach Blossom Temple;
The Peach Blossom Fairy planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms in exchange for wine money.
When you are sober, you just sit in front of flowers; when you are drunk, you come to sleep under flowers;
Half awake and half drunk day after day, flowers fall and bloom year after year.
I wish I could die in my old age and spend my time in wine, and I don’t want to bow before my carriage;
Cars, dust and horses are enough for those who are rich; those with poor wine-gold branches are destined to be poor.
If the rich and the noble are compared to the poor and the lowly, one is on the ground and the other is in the sky;
If a poor man drives a chariot and a horse, he will have to drive and I will have nothing to do.
Others laugh at me for being crazy, but I laugh at others because they can’t see through it;
There are no tombs of heroes from the Five Tombs, and there are no flowers or wine to cultivate the fields."
…
A peach blossom poem deservedly won the top spot that night.
As this peach blossom poem spread rapidly to the four defenses, as the master of the poem, Lu Heng also earned the title of Peach Blossom Fairy.
For a time, Zhoushan, a small town far away in the south of the Yangtze River, became famous far and wide because of this peach blossom poem. Countless students came here to admire the peach blossoms in spring, and secondly, they also wanted to meet this mysterious peach blossom fairy.
.
When local people hear foreign students asking about the Peach Blossom Fairy, they always say: "If you want to ask where to find the Peach Blossom Fairy, it is three and a half miles south outside the city."
As for the situation that night, it was even more mysterious by the locals.
Later, some people even said that the Peach Blossom Immortal was originally the banished immortal from the Peach Garden in the sky. Because of a peach blossom poem, he returned to heaven again.
Unconsciously, four months have passed and it is now the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The autumn breeze blows coolly, and the sky is vast. The peach blossoms are withering and the peaches are ripe. In Lu Heng's peach blossom manor, Liu Qingqing and the girls, Agui and Fahai, are busy picking peaches. The atmosphere in the manor is harmonious and warm.
After hearing the news, Lu Heng, who was playing chess with Zhang Wenshan in Peach Blossom Manor, couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Wenshan also saw from Lu Heng's peach blossom poem that Lu Heng was indeed disillusioned with his official career. Although he was very disappointed, he did not persuade him.
"I will go back early tomorrow morning!" Zhang Wenshan sighed as he dropped a chess piece.
Lu Heng raised his head and glanced at him, nodded slightly, then lowered his head, continued playing chess, and said calmly: "Well, when you leave, don't forget to pay for the food for the past few days!"
Zhang Wenshan's hand trembled, and with a clang, the chess piece in his hand fell to the chessboard.
"You lost!" After one piece fell, Lu Heng raised his head, pointed at the chessboard, and said to Zhang Wenshan with a smile.
Zhang Wenshan: "..."
…
It is the fifth day of April in the sixth year of Qingyuan of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The three armies of the Great Zhou Dynasty joined forces and conquered the last line of defense of the Turkic royal court. They captured alive the Turkic Khan, the uncle, and many other members of the Turkic royal family. Several people from Ketun were missing.
On the tenth day of April, the imperial court granted a general amnesty to the whole country and issued a notice to the whole country: The Turkic royal court had been breached, and the war against the Turks that had lasted for hundreds of years was completely ended. From then on, the threat to the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty was lifted.
In May, the West Route Army went south and stationed in Sichuan.
Under attack from both the imperial court and Anjia, the Tubo people, who had long been worried about their livelihood, had no choice but to announce their withdrawal under the threat of nearly 100,000 troops from Wuning. The two sides signed an armistice treaty in Kangding.
In June of the same year, Xiyu Anjia announced that the reincarnation of Amitabha Buddha of Tibetan Buddhism was born in Qinghai. Moreover, this news was confirmed by the imperial court.
In July, Tibetan religious leaders publicly announced a boycott of the Zhou Dynasty and united with other sects to launch a rebellion.
Subsequently, Duan Peng led his 50,000 elite troops into Tubo territory and launched a counter-insurgency operation.
On August 13, Zhang Wenshan bid farewell to Lu Heng, left Zhoushan Peach Blossom Manor where he had stayed for five months, and headed to Tokyo to help the emperor handle government affairs.
