prosperous age

After the little eunuch delivered the oral order, Wei Guangde understood that he was not asking them to praise the heavy snow yesterday, but to boast about the emperor.

Also, in recent years, many places in the north have been hit by heavy snow in winter, killing countless people and livestock, but people have nothing to do about it.

If it is early spring, it would be fine to write about snow, but it is really not suitable to write about snow now.

"My lords, the younger one is waiting here. Please finish the Qing Ci as soon as possible, so that the younger one can be sent to the palace."

The little eunuch said to everyone in the room with a flattering smile.

There are too many little eunuchs like him in the palace, but he is actually just a servant, and the word eunuch is not worthy of him.

It's okay for such a servant to bluff people in the countryside outside. What kind of place is this? This is the Imperial Academy.

Yuan Wei asked at this time: "I wonder who else Your Majesty will ask to contribute Qing Ci?"

"Master Yuan, apart from the words from the cabinet, there are only a few adults who have entered Xiyuan."

The little eunuch hurriedly replied.

When Yuan Wei opened his mouth, Wei Guangde didn't understand the meaning of Yuan Wei's question, and waited for the little eunuch to answer before he figured out what it meant.

It turns out that this Yuan Wei is also watching people order food. If the person who contributes Qing Ci is good, he will probably write it seriously.

This is easy to understand. After all, it is not easy to write a good Qing Ci. It is estimated that Yuan Wei has been thinking about this matter a lot on weekdays, and he should reserve some good works for not contributing.

If there are few people who contribute Qing Ci, and the competition is not fierce, he will not hand over those treasured works, but hand over the lesser works.

Wei Guangde understood it this way, but he also heard what the little eunuch said. This time, it seems that almost all the good writers in the government and the opposition who can write green poems have been summoned.

Those who are eligible to enter the Xiyuan, in addition to the adults at the first level of the Imperial Academy, are the ministers of the Six Departments, and there are also two masters of Qing Ci from the cabinet.

Speaking of which, Yan Song won the emperor's favor by relying on Qingci, and gained the position by means, so why not Xu Jie.

Now several people who are likely to enter the cabinet, such as Li Chunfang, Yuan Wei and others are no exception.

After leaving the lobby, Wei Guangde whispered to Yuan Wei and Guo Pu: "Yesterday, the Metropolitan Procuratorate received a message saying that we want to discuss the matter of the Beijing Procuratorate, so I am now asking the two bachelors for leave to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

The Hanlin Academy has a Hanlin Bachelor, which is the largest official position in the Hanlin Academy, but the real acting agent of the Academy is the head of the Academy who accepts the fate of the imperial court.

Today, the head of the academy is not here, so Wei Guangde had no choice but to tell Yuan Wei and Guo Pu, after all, these two officials have the most important positions here.

"Guangde doesn't write Qing Ci, and it won't take much time. Since the Metropolitan Procuratorate has something to do, then you go first."

Yuan Wei didn't care much about Wei Guangde's request for leave. Without the master in charge, he could handle major and minor matters in the Imperial Academy at his discretion.

Wei Guangde's level, he also estimated, should not be able to write any good Qingci, so he didn't regard Wei Guangde as a thorn in his side, because he really didn't have the qualifications.

Of course, Yuan Wei is also jealous of Wei Guangde, that is, Wei Guangde hooked up with Prince Yu's Mansion early on, but he didn't dare to make such a bet at the beginning.

As for the matter of the Beijing inspection that Wei Guangde mentioned, it was actually an errand of the Ministry of Officials, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate was just monitoring from the sidelines. However, since Wei Guangde had a reason, he had no reason to refuse.

Yuan Wei didn't say anything, but Guo Pu frowned.

"Since the palace asked for Qing Ci, I think Guangde should take a moment to leave a Qing Ci before going to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The Xiyuan Value House will also review and select the Qing Ci presented by the Imperial Academy. After all, it is His Majesty's intention, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not in a hurry."

When Wei Guangde heard what Guo Pu said, he really couldn't find a reason to respond.

Guo Pu made it clear that the Qing Ci from the Hanlin Academy was sent to Xiyuan for value first, and the adults there would choose first, pick out the best Qing Ci and present them to the emperor.

Perhaps, Guo Pu also saw that Wei Guangde was not good at young Ci. Before that, Wei Guangde's composition could only be regarded as barely passing. In fact, it was not up to the standard for selecting good scholars. That is, Emperor Jiajing only sent in a sentence, and he was a guaranteed student. .

In a word, neither he nor Yuan Wei thought that Wei Guangde would be their competitor in terms of Qing Ci, but he kindly reminded Wei Guangde that it was attitude.

Emperor Jiajing asked the Imperial Academy to present green poems, and you Wei Guangde is also a member of the Imperial Academy, but you have repeatedly refused to write. If Emperor Jiajing finds out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain.

Wei Guangde knew in his heart that he could only think of Zihu to write an essay. Anyway, Xiyuan Value House should eliminate his essay.

Soon, Wei Guangde went to check the house by himself, thinking about how to write today's green poem along the way.

Although he really doesn't know how to write any shocking works, but he has cobbled together a few works when he was studying before. What he thinks now is that if he really can't think of anything good, he should use the original clumsy work to get by.

But now that he has made up his mind to write, Wei Guangde naturally hopes to come up with a slightly brilliant green poem.

Thinking of Yuan Wei and Guo Pu's eyes at that time, well, these two are sure that he can't write anything, so that's why they were like that at that time.

However, in fact, Wei Guangde also dismissed some aspects of Yuan Wei. For example, it was rumored that Yuan Wei was quick-witted and quick-witted.

But Wei Guangde didn't quite believe it. He felt that Yuan Wei's and his like's works should have been prepared a long time ago, and they were only produced when Emperor Jiajing asked for Qing Ci.

When Wei Guangde returned to the value room, the Lu Bu who was cleaning up was still very surprised, he didn't expect Wei Guangde to come back again.

He waved to Lu Bu, signaling him to go out first, Wei Guangde sat alone in the room and began to ponder, the brushes, inks, papers and inkstones were all ready-made, and now there was a need for a "good work" to hand over.

In fact, it's not that Wei Guangde can't come up with a good song, but some words in it are a bit taboo during this sensitive period. He is worried that someone will catch him and make a small report to Emperor Jiajing.

Well, this is one of the few poems that Wei Guangde still remembers.

This somewhat taboo poem comes from "Kyushu" in "Miscellaneous Poems of Jihai" written by Qing Dynasty poet Gong Zizhen.

Kyushu is angry and relies on wind and thunder, and the sound of thousands of horses is sad.

I persuade Tiangong to be vigorous and to cast down talents in an eclectic manner.

The last sentence is not bad, but the paragraph "Wanma Qiyin is so sad" in the previous sentence is a bit troublesome. In modern terms, there is nothing to be sad when the Holy Son of Heaven is in court. did you speak
It is said that this poem was written by Gong Zizhen when he resigned from office angrily because he was dissatisfied with the imperial court's stupidity.

This poem calls for a thunderous change in the tone of praying to the gods, to break the lifeless situation caused by the Qing Dynasty's restraint of thought and stifling talents, and expresses the author's desire to liberate talents, change society, and revitalize the country.

Wei Guangde felt that his mind was in a mess at the moment, and he didn't know how to write to express the ethereal connection between congratulating Emperor Jiajing.

It is estimated that the Emperor Jiajing knew best in his heart when he said that Emperor Jiajing was a master of Taoism or advanced in Taoism.

The so-called induction between heaven and man, well, it’s winter, and it will snow sooner or later. Does this still require induction?

However, since the emperor thought it was a good omen and asked them to present Qing Ci, then of course he had to write it, and he had to tout a rainbow fart, but how should he write it?
Later generations, because of Yuan Wei's Qingci, "Born to be the emperor of Jiajing, live forever without bounds", are considered to be the No. 1 Qingci of the Jiajing Dynasty because of the neat and ingenious antithesis and gorgeous and beautiful rhetoric. In fact, Wei Guangde has read Qingci of these years during this time , he also arranged an order for this group of people in his mind.

Leaving aside some amazing and brilliant Qing Ci, as far as the overall level is concerned, Li Chunfang is actually the best among them, and Gao Gong is the second.

In the past, Wei Guangde knew that Gao Gong also wrote green poems for Emperor Jiajing, but if he didn't analyze it carefully, he would not have discovered that this old man was actually very good at flattering the emperor.

Not much different from Gao Gong was that Young Master Yan Shifan.

Sitting on the seat for a long time, Wei Guangde didn't have a clue, he just figured it out after thinking about it, he lacked a bit of quick wit, so he might be able to show his achievements on the spot and write some articles.

Just give up.

Wei Guangde resolutely gave up trying to come up with an impromptu poem to make up for it, but found a song that was a little more suitable for the occasion from the works he had imitated before and sent it to the business.

It's almost there, anyway, I'm not good at poetry, singing and prose, and I'm not good at dancing and writing, so it seems that I really shouldn't stay in the Imperial Academy.

"One life is two, two is three, and three is all things. The human body is hard to come by, and the Dao is difficult to understand, and now it is clear.

The earth follows the sky, the sky follows the earth, the Tao follows nature, desire and respect for this life, how can we live without this body. "

Having figured it out, Wei Guangde silently chose what he wanted to write, and wrote these two sentences on the rice paper with a splash of ink.

In fact, Wei Guangde didn't come up with this idea. He saw it from Taoist couplets and modified it himself. It's just that he hasn't touched the threshold of Qingci, and he didn't get started, so he came up with such a thing.

Didn't Emperor Jiajing feel that the telepathy between heaven and man indicated that he was about to achieve success in his cultivation?Then report to the gods in the sky, boasting that his way has been clarified.

It is difficult for others to understand the way, but the emperor has already understood it.

Wei Guangde felt that this word should be closer to Emperor Jiajing's current mood, that is, he guessed that Emperor Jiajing had practiced for decades, but he might have been shaken in his heart. After all, after decades of practice, he had no achievements. The only visible It seems that the so-called cold and heat do not invade.

Speaking of which, Emperor Jiajing really has a physical problem now. He is afraid of the cold in summer and the heat in winter, but the eunuch who served beside him suffered so much.

These characteristics, according to Wei Guangde's cognition, are endocrine disorders and menopausal syndrome. If he has been taking elixirs for a long time, they are basically physical dysfunction caused by erysipelas.

In fact, at this time, if Emperor Jiajing was advised to stop the elixir immediately, his body would collapse immediately, because his body had already adapted to the current state.

And Wei Guangde knew that changing the emperor at this time is not allowed.

With Emperor Jiajing here, he can still suppress Yan Song's group of people. After all, the old emperor has accumulated power for a long time, but if King Yu is allowed to come to power and lacks authority, it will be very difficult for Yan Song's group to cause any trouble. .

In particular, Yan Song's family also has soldiers and horses. Although the soldiers and horses are far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and they may not be mobilized, if Yan Song calls out the words of King Yu's murder of his father and conspiracy, it is hard to say how the soldiers and horses in Hu Zongxian's hands will choose up.

Changing dynasties is a shortcut for ordinary people to leap over the class.

In fact, it is not impossible to quickly transfer to the capital, and although there are relatively few officials in Yan Song's line, they all occupy important departments of the imperial court, let alone those who used to be officials with Yan Shifan's relationship People are all over the world.

When the time comes, King Yu pushes King Jing, and I dare not think about the consequences.

Wei Guangde vaguely remembered that the downfall of Yan Song's lineage occurred in the late Jiajing Dynasty, and Emperor Jiajing cleared Yan Song's power before his death, so King Yu was able to stabilize the country.

Just wait and see when the emperor will attack Yan Song.

In fact, Wei Guangde also had a speculation in his mind, that is, after the Battle of Baoan Prefecture, Emperor Jiajing knew that he had contact with Ma Fang of the Xuanfu, but he only gave a warning instead of letting himself break contact with him. Is it just a foreshadowing?

Gao Gong had planned to pull himself into Yu Wang's mansion to serve as an official before, but he was rejected by him later.

Thinking too much, in fact, the last sentence "If you want to live in Chinese, if you don't live in this body, how can you live again" is the place that reflects this is the first youthful word.

Chonghua, the name of Shun, offered sacrifices to Emperor Shun for Emperor Jiajing's obsession with Taoism in this life, hoping that he could be included in the class of immortals.

As for why he chose to pray to Emperor Shun instead of Sanqing, it was because Wei Guangde thought that the one who worshiped was the emperor, Yao Shun Yu Tang, should you ancient emperors take care of the current emperor.

However, Wei Guangde is also a little careful here, just to remind Emperor Jiajing, continue to practice, don't give up halfway, you have come into contact with the Dao now, who knows if you will still be able to get in touch with the Dao in the next life.

After putting away his pen and ink, Wei Guangde stared at the green words he had written in front of him, feeling a little guilty for no reason.

This Qing Ci is the same as the stereotyped writing made by Wei Guangde before. It is actually a combination of Taoist couplets and several Qing Ci. He is actually a little worried that the well-informed adults will see it. The emperor who has been immersed in Taoism for many years.

A guilty conscience is a guilty conscience, but it was indeed his Wei Guangde's work, and no one else has put together it like this before, so Wei Guangde picked up the green poem he wrote after the ink was dry, and went out of the room to hand in the paper.

When Wei Guangde arrived at the front, Yuan Wei, Guo Pu and some other people had already handed in their papers. Speaking of which, Wei Guangde was relatively late, and everyone was judging each other's works.

Although scholars say that stereotyped writing is the right way, and poems and songs are composed of Xiao Daoer, they can say that they are above the examination room. For them who have already rushed out of the examination room, they are now pursuing the charm of Tang poetry and Song poetry.

Although Qingci was criticized by later dynasties and scholars, it has to be said that the culture of Qingci in the Jiajing Dynasty did reach its peak, and it was a rare peak cultural work in the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the works submitted by Wei Guangde are naturally unavoidable to be criticized.

"good."

"Not so good."

Guo Pu and Yuan Wei quickly commented on Wei Guangde's Qing Ci.
