Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 326 Two Imperial Decree Heaven and Earth

When Daiyu wrote this song "The Song of Burying Flowers", perhaps she was too emotionally involved, and she abandoned the slightly restrained and dignified Chinese regular script, and instead wrote in Xingkai to fully express her meaning and show her talent.

Zeng and Luo were immediately attracted by Daiyu's running script. After reading two lines of the poem, they exclaimed in unison, couldn't help standing up, and Zeng Daru recited loudly. stand up.

"Flowers wither, flowers fly, and the sky is full of flowers, who will pity when the redness disappears and the fragrance is gone?
The gossamer is soft and fluttering in the spring, and the fluff is lightly dipped in the embroidered curtain.

……

How long will Mingmei Xianyan last?Once wandering, it is hard to find.

Blossoms are easy to see but hard to find, and the flower burial person is suffocated before the steps.

Sprinkle the tears of the fragrant hoe alone, and sprinkle the flower branches to see the bloodstains.

Du Juan was speechless and it was dusk, and the hoe went back to cover the heavy door.

......"

"This... this... this... the color of the flowers will change this year, and who will be there when they bloom next year. The flowers are similar every year, and the people are different every year. County Lord Lin completed this funeral flower picture It’s a story, and it’s full of beauties and fates, so that people can’t help crying after reading it, writing about Huayi? Writing about people.”

The old child was amazed, and there was no sound from the audience.

The Central Plains has gone through a hundred years of previous dynasties, and its poetry is not as good as it used to be. There are very few long poems in the early Tang Dynasty.

Not wanting to reappear from a young girl's pen today, Zeng Daru and Luo Daru are too lazy to pay attention to Shimadzu Jiushan who is at a loss while holding a pen. They turned their eyes to Jia's box, feeling an urge to rush up to recruit disciples.

"What a pity, what a pity..."

It's a pity that Lin's daughter is a girl, it would be great if she were a brother.He must come to the door, take him under the door, and inherit his mantle.

Zeng Daru sighed again and again, but Luo Daru had quick eyes and quick hands, snatched the manuscript into his hands, rolled it up and stuffed it into his arms.

"Old man Luo, what are you doing? Hurry up and hand over the poem, the old man hasn't commented yet, everyone is waiting for the result of the competition!"

"You old fox, you still want to lie to me. You still need to comment on this poem? Competition? What is the competition? If the Japanese can write [-]% of this poem, the old man will count him as the winner!"

"That can't be kept by you, hand it over, hand it over, the old man hasn't remembered everything..."

"Hey, hey, hey, let's talk, don't touch your hands!"

Luo Daru pushes Zeng Daru's hand away while avoiding it.Just in time to see Shimadzu Hisayama holding the pen in a daze, the ink dripping and staining the snow-white paper.

He frowned, and said contemptuously: "Young man, you have also heard this poem by County Lord Lin. If you think it can match the level of County Lord Lin, you can continue. If not, you should go as soon as possible. Study poetry and books carefully."

"The old man remembers that County Lord Lin is only in the age of cardamom, Shimadzu Jiushan, right? You can't even compete with a little girl, and you dare to clamor for a competition with Uncle Yongfeng? This old man dare not speak poetry in front of Uncle Yongfeng."

Taking advantage of the situation, Zeng Daru used his words as a knife, stabbed Shimadzu Hisayama, grabbed Luo Daru's clothes, and threw himself on him.

The two great Confucians "scrambled" in public over a piece of poetry, and they had long forgotten about the competition and judgment.

Only then did the people in the audience come to their senses, and burst out laughing, booing one after another, and some people set up handicap bets on the spot, ignoring Shimadzu Hisayama, who was in a dilemma.

Two Confucian scholars in their 60s were fighting on the high platform, but it was Xueyan who came over with a poem manuscript to preserve their friendship.

"Great Confucian Zeng, Confucian Luo, and the county lord have written another poem, and I invite the two great Confucian scholars to appreciate and advise you." Zijuan slowly walked up to the high platform holding another poem draft in her hand, smiling proudly.

"I don't dare to teach you. I'm just too old. County Lord Lin's literary talent has caught up with that of the former Tang Dynasty. Today, I'm eye-opening..."

Luo Daru happily put away the poems in his arms, and gently pushed Zeng Daru: "Stop talking nonsense, it's more serious to appreciate Lin County Lord's poems. This girl, please!"

Zeng Daru stood guard in front of the slowly opened poem like a thief, his vigilant eyes immediately filled with astonishment.

Luo Daru was also in a similar situation, and began to recite in a daze.

"The fragrant nest has been built in March, and the swallows in Liangjian are too ruthless!

Although flowers can be pecked next year, they will go to Liang Kong's nest even if they don't.

The soul of the flower and the soul of the bird is always hard to stay, the bird is silent and the flower is ashamed;
May the wings be born under the slave, and fly to the end of the sky with the flowers.

Nong is buried in flowers today, who is laughing and crazy. Who is he who is buried in Nong this year?
Just look at the fall of the remaining spring flowers, that is when the beauty dies of old age;
In the spring, the beauty is old, and the flowers fall and people die!
At the end of the sky, where is the Xiangqiu?
If the treasures are not collected, the bones will be covered with a pure land.

The quality of cleanness comes and goes, which is better than dirty water sinking into ditches. "

pat~
puff!
Before the two great scholars could comment, Shimadzu Jiushan who was on the side had just finished listening to Luo Daru's recitation, and suddenly his pen fell on the high platform, his face turned pale instantly, and then a mouthful of blood spewed out from his mouth, staining the paper like ink, it was very frightening.

"Shimadzu-kun..."

"Second brother..."

The Japanese people on the stage were in a mess, and at the moment Shimadzu Jiushan vomited blood and fell down, Zeng Daru flicked his long sleeves and covered the poem manuscript held by Zijuan.

His neat Confucian shirt was stained with the blood sprayed by Shimadzu Jiushan, but his mind was completely on Daiyu's new work, and he couldn't care about anything else at all.

"Nearly stained my poem, almost stained my poem!"

The old child was thinking about it, but the people in the audience shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Hurry up and hand over County Lord Lin's poem, I haven't finished transcribing it yet."

"That's right, County Lord Lin's poem is not the private property of the two of you, it is the treasure of my great summer!"

The crowd is excited, how arrogant Shimadzu Hisayama was on stage just now, how proud the audience is now.

County Lord Lin used two poems so angry that Shimadzu Jiushan vomited blood and fainted, overwhelming all the Japanese people present without even the courage to write.

Some people in the audience couldn't help but ran to the two great scholars, their eyes were green and they were staring at each other...

"Hahahahaha..."

The Supreme Emperor in the box laughed out of satisfaction, patted the armrest of the Grand Master's chair and said to Liu Heng: "The daughter of Lin Hai really lived up to my expectations, and she must be rewarded heavily."

What is the right reward?

Liu Heng was also very satisfied with the effect of Daiyu's use of poems to slap Shimadzu Yero hard. He was about to reward poems and books, but suddenly changed to another reward.

"Father, what do you think about adopting a foster daughter?"

……

In the three competitions agreed upon, the first poetry competition, because of Daiyu's sudden two poems, the Japanese dared not even write.

The judges on the high platform didn't know how to decide the outcome. It was the emperor who arrogantly said that ten players would play against ten players.

But Daiyu's attack seemed to have shattered the confidence of the Japanese. During the numerology competition, the Japanese who stole from the West asked several math problems, all of which were calculated by the talented scholars of the Imperial College.

On the contrary, it was the students of the Guozijian who came up with the questions. Eight out of ten Japanese students scratched their heads and left only a drop of ink on the paper.

When a Japanese student suddenly went crazy on the stage, shouting about new Western learning, how could the Daxia people know how to solve it, how could the Daxia people know the pi ratio.

The supervisor of the Imperial College was taken aback by this man's madness. After hearing his words clearly, he really wanted to throw out "Zhou Bi Suan Jing" and "Nine Chapters of Suan Shu" to hit him in the face.

Finally, after thinking about it, forget it, what are you fussing about with this group of dwarfs, if you have time, you might as well appreciate the Lin poems you just transcribed.

In the three competitions, the Japanese had one draw and one loss, and the pressure was instantly placed on Wubi's side.Shimadzu Kumi is a smart person. Seeing her team's morale is low, she said that her brother Shimadzu Jiushan was unconscious. She was worried that his brother would not be able to concentrate on today's banquet, so she asked for a third match at another day.

The Ministry of Rites obtained the permission of the holy will and granted Shimadzu Kumi's request.When the Japanese retreated, the whole Xiyin Building cheered, and when the luncheon was served, there were always people going to the box of Jia's house to toast.

In the end, after Jia Cong discussed with Daiyu, they climbed onto the high platform hand in hand, and gave everyone a drink in return, in order to obtain a moment of peace and tranquility for everyone in the Jia family.

However, this calm was only temporary. Not long after everyone returned to the mansion, the news that Lin County Lord Liangshi Zhenguo was provoking Japanese people and vomiting blood spread throughout the capital.

The saying that all things are inferior but only high-level reading is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The singing of Daiyu's two poems soon made all the talented men and beauties in the capital blindfolded and spread their posts to Rongguo Mansion for free.

Zeng Daru and Luo Daru finally ran back home with the manuscript in hand, the threshold was almost broken, and people came to visit and appreciate it every day.

Even the poems written by Daiyu and her sisters in the past have been dug out by interested people, and some merchants have printed them into volumes and put them in shops for sale.

Of course, as Daiyu's talent spread widely, a lot of gossip and gossips also arose secretly.For example, there is a line in "Burning Flowers" that "360 days a year, wind, knife, frost, and sword are fierce." Some people say that Daiyu alluded to the harsh treatment of the orphan by the Jia family, and took the opportunity to express her grief.

Some people talked about the "golden jade match" that was passed down in the early years, and Jia Cong immediately beat him to the door and taught him to be a good man with his fists.

Two days later, the martial arts competition was very fierce, but it also greatly boosted Daxia's bravery.

Aspiring men from first-class martial arts families such as the British Duke's Mansion and Cheng'en Duke's Mansion caused a sensation in the entire capital with ten victories.

Zhang Qiguang, the grandson of the British Duke Zhang Yue and a student of the Imperial College, recited poems and defeated four Japanese kendo masters with one force, and his name was passed down in Gyeonggi.

It is said that even his teachers in the Guozijian were stunned. They never thought that the gentle and elegant scholar on weekdays would have such high sword skills.

For a while, the people in the capital directly put Zhang Qiguang and Jia Cong together, saying that they were both talented in both civil and martial arts, and they were both heroes of the Great Xia.

On August [-]th, at the court meeting before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor ordered the envoys of the Satsuma clan of the Japanese kingdom to say that the heavenly court was benevolent.

As for the sale of firearms, the emperor ordered Uncle Yongfeng and Jia Cong, the minister of the Ministry of Inspection and Industry, to take full responsibility.

With a flat smile on his face, Jia Cong nodded at the envoy of Satsuma and said, "I hope that the people of Satsuma know technology..."

Jia Cong didn't care about whether the people of Satsuma knew technology or not, but the master craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry really knew technology.

Jia Cong went to the Ministry of Industry as soon as he was in court, and chatted with several master craftsmen for a while, and one of the master craftsmen drew a sketch of the castrated version of the Shenwu General Cannon.

The Ministry of Rites has also secretly contacted people from other vassal towns in the Wa Kingdom. Jia Cong plans to invite the envoys of the various vassals together in a few days to see if they understand technology.

Wa country, the more chaos the better.

In this way, the Celestial Dynasty can sow the seeds of benevolence and civilization on every inch of the land of the Wa Kingdom more quickly.

Jia Cong had lunch with several master craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry. Before the meal was finished, a clerk came to report, and someone from Rongguo Mansion came to look for him.

Leaving the imperial city amidst doubts, he saw Er Gouzi, a retainer, hastily greeted him, and said joyfully, "Third Lord, great joy!"

……

Not only Jia Cong was called home, but Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng were also called back from the Yamen by the old lady.

Because the Rongguo Mansion received the emperor's imperial edict again, but this time it was the imperial edict of Daiyu.

"The palace is already preparing for the ceremony. Tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, His Majesty will accept Yu'er as a righteous daughter in front of the clan, nobles, civil and military officials, and give the princess a gold book to enter the Royal Jade Butterfly."

Xuanzhi's servants have been away for a long time, and the old lady still hasn't recovered.

After hearing Daiyu's poems and poems, she knew that the emperor would definitely reward her, but she didn't want to give such a heavy reward.

But Master Jing and Lin Ruhai sitting in the hall understood the reason why the emperor did this, and even Jia Cong, who was equally astonished, also guessed three points.

The royal family does not lack the title of a princess. Using the name of a princess to win over Lin Ruhai and Jia's family can also use this to promote the emperor's good reputation of valuing talents and make a lot of money.

Of course, there must be other reasons for this. The emperor did not tell Jia and Lin about it.

That's why the sage thinks that the literary energy of the Xia Dynasty should be attributed to Jia Cong, the fat man who was born with Su Hui, and the girl from the Lin family who was gifted with literary talent.

Great Xia's martial arts were fully displayed during the Zhaowu period, what is lacking now is the prosperous poetic talent like the previous Tang Dynasty.

Can a prosperous age without poems be called a prosperous age?Since the girl of the Lin family is so good at poetry, she should be my royal daughter.

By the way, there is also a royal son-in-law who can write poetry, what a beautiful thing.

The sage master was making a lot of calculations, and he had already planned to hold a dozen grand poetry gatherings a year, so that his granddaughter and grandson-in-law could write dozens of good poems for him to spread the prosperity of Zhaowu.

Daiyu put on a princess crown, accompanied by the old lady and Lin Ruhai, and Jia Cong acted as a guard to enter the palace to thank her.

In front of the palace gate, I met Shimadzu Kumi, who also came to thank me, but compared to the beaming Jia and Lin families, Shimadzu Kumi and the accompanying Japanese from Satsuma were much more reluctant.

It was Shimadzu Kumi who was sent to the Sifang Pavilion together with the imperial decree to confer Daiyu as Princess Wen'an.

However, unlike the original plan of the Shimadzu family, Jiumei Shimadzu is not about to go to the harem of Emperor Liu Heng, but canonize her as Concubine Li, and enter the Dragon Head Palace to serve the emperor Liu Ji, who is nearly ancient.

Seeing Shimadzu Kumi's eyes full of jealousy and resentment towards Daiyu, Jia Cong sneered and walked over slowly.

"I pay homage to Li... Tai... Concubine Concubine. If you want to come to heaven, Satsuma, as Concubine Li's natal family, must be grateful for the emperor's grace. I don't know what Satsuma will give to Concubine Li as a dowry. It can't be too shabby Otherwise, others will think that the Satsuma clan is dissatisfied with the gift from the Celestial Dynasty, which will affect the mood of the officers and men of the Great Xia Navy."

Jia Cong's next words made Shimadzu Kumi's pupils shrink and she backed away again and again.

I saw Jia Cong looking into the distance, and said faintly: "Wang Chenghai, the commander of Jinghaiwei, respects saints the most. If he knows that Satsuma is dissatisfied with saints, then he will be very unhappy. If he is unhappy, he likes to play cannons." So, Concubine Li had better ask General Shimadzu what the dowry is."
