Chapter 278 The Sixth Prince who loves to sing a different tune

Chapter 278 The sixth prince who loves to sing a different tune

The “Lime Song” that Cheng Ling recited at the stone appreciation banquet was spread, and for a while, the capital sang it, and the listeners were all shocked.

Poetry is a wonderful language art, and the ancients’ admiration for poetry and songs is even more infiltrated in the flesh and blood. Many things are difficult to pass on, but once they are compiled into poetry, when the language is exquisite to a certain extent, it becomes a fact that they are sung through the ages.

Don’t you see that in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Li Bai traveled the world with his poems, and there were countless “lost brothers” wherever he went! For banquets, there are Mrs. Cen and Dan Qiusheng. He is down and out, and there is a saying, “The water in the Peach Blossom Pond is a thousand feet deep, and it is not as good as Wang Lun’s love for me.”

Du Fu said that Li Bai “is invincible in poetry, and his thoughts are not grouped”, Li Bai said that Meng Haoran “I love Mencius, and he is famous all over the world”, Su Shi said that Han Yu “wen has declined for eight generations”…

Look, look, how good this is, how good this is!

A sentence in the Book of Songs, “There are bandits and gentlemen, such as sharpening, cutting, and grinding”, opened up people’s imagination of the shape and rhyme of gentlemen through the ages, thinking about the elegant demeanor, spanning ancient and modern times, and fascinating people.

Cao Zijian said, “Lightly like a frightened bird, graceful like a dragon swimming”, the beauty of Luoshen breaks away from the old stone carvings and brushes, and walks out of the torrent of time, with infinite divine light, vividly displayed in every in front of the viewer.

Top poets can really span time and space and fascinate thousands!

Speaking of which, among the talented scholars of the Su family, Su Zhe’s younger brother is no worse than Su Shi. Even at that time, Su Zhe was once an official prime minister, and his outstanding political achievements far surpassed Su Shi.

Su Zhe is also one of the eight great masters in the Tang and Song Dynasties, especially political theory and historical theory, which can be said to be vast and indifferent, with a bold and unrestrained spirit.

But in later generations, more people know Su Shi and admire Su Shi, but they often call Su Zhe “Su Shi’s younger brother”. Why?

Isn’t it because Su Shi’s poems span ancient and modern times, no matter how bold and graceful they are, they are all admirable and intoxicating?

Su Zhe’s articles are also very well written, but they are not as easy to sing as poems. Few people can understand the exquisite articles, and they are not as beautiful as the poems. No matter whether it is sunny in spring or snow in Liba, it can be enjoyed by both refined and popular people.

    Zhang Dianchen later commented on Cheng Lingdao: “Sweeping the current glamorous wind, opening a pragmatic way is the first of its kind. Although he is young, he has a heart of loving the people and the ambition of Qionglin!”

I have to say that Zhang Dianchen is actually very good at bragging.

Look at this “Aspirations of Qionglin”, doesn’t it sound much better than some Saturn alive?

Yushu Qionglin, it doesn’t mean that Cheng Ling is only thinking about taking the number one scholar exam, and then goes to the emperor’s Qionglin Banquet—at this time, Emperor Wei hasn’t held the imperial examination for long enough, and the Qionglin Banquet doesn’t exist yet.

The meaning of Zhang Dianchen is that Cheng Ling has a noble mind of “rather to be broken than to be whole”, just like the lime chanting, “Don’t be afraid of being smashed to pieces, and stay innocent in the world”!

In short, when this poem was spread, it swept across the capital within a few days.

So that after a period of time, even the old man on the street and the child in the market can recite such a sentence: “Thousands of hammers and ten thousand hammers dig out deep mountains, and the fire burns as if waiting for nothing…”.

The singing of poetry is much easier than that of articles.

Later, when people mentioned “Nongsang Shiji”, they would say: Is this the work of Cheng Yuzhi who wrote “Lime Yin”?

Or when mentioning “Lime Yin”, one can’t help but say: Cheng Yuzhi, who wrote “Lime Yin”, also wrote “Nongsang Shiji”, right?

Then, “Lime Yin” rushed out of the capital and spread throughout the Great Wei—this was truly realized not long after.

Because Xiao Man ordered people to promote it secretly.

He is the prince, even if he has been suppressed before, the basic board is still there. As long as he wants to, he can pull up a big booth at any time and absorb countless talents who are eager to make contributions.

There will always be people who want to invest in the prince, just like there will always be people who want to invest in the sixth prince.

The sixth prince has had a very unhappy life recently.

It was nearly June, and the weather was slowly getting hotter.

The sixth prince likes water, the imperial concubine was afraid that he would be in danger in the water, so she ordered someone to build a white jade pond in the back hall of Cuiwei Palace. The pond was only three feet deep to ensure that no matter how much the sixth prince played, he would not drown.

The sixth prince is getting older, but he is beginning to get tired of the Baiyu Pond in Cuiwei Palace.

After all, no matter how fun the private swimming pool is, you will get tired after playing for a long time, not to mention that the Baiyu Pool is still shallow, which really lacks the fun of swimming in water.

In addition, the matter of the crown prince taking command has been decided. Although the news of the Southern Expedition is still only spread in the upper circles, many things that should be prepared are already in operation.

The entire capital actually has a feeling of being fried on a frying pan.

An indescribable impetuousness and torment rolled in the heart of the sixth prince all the time, making it difficult to settle down.

And the imperial concubine is very good at chanting, although when she chanted about the sixth prince, her tone was gentle and affectionate, but it would also be annoying if she heard too much.

The noble concubine appeased the sixth prince and said: “Good boy, you trust your mother and concubine. Being in command is just the beginning. This man… When he goes outside, who knows whether he will make a contribution or fall headlong?”

This kind of appeasement has no effect, the sixth prince’s heart devoured by jealousy can’t find peace at all.

He said irritably: “Mother, concubine, it’s hard for my child to wait. Recently, the fourth and fifth children have always mocked me, especially the fifth! Relying on his father’s favor, he kept tripping up the child. The third child also blatantly told me Eldest brother shows his favor! Have they already confirmed that elder brother will definitely be in the position?”

The words of the sixth prince can be called very bold, but the Cuiwei Palace has long been managed like an iron bucket by the noble concubine, especially, she has a secret trump card under her hand, so even if the sixth prince is so outspoken, the noble concubine He didn’t even rebuke him.

The imperial concubine just comforted her with a bit of annoyance: “You child, how many times have the mother and concubine said it… Anyway, you remember, in this palace, other than him, Xiao Man, there are some threats. What is it? Hmph, if it wasn’t for you…”

At this point, the imperial concubine suddenly stopped.

“Mother, what did you say?” the sixth prince asked.

The noble concubine was unwilling to say any more, she just hugged the sixth prince, put her arms around his head and gently stroked his head, and said: “Okay, since you can’t stay in this palace, go out and play for half a day to relax.” That’s fine. Just one thing, after leaving the palace, you are not allowed to look for the wild water, understand?”

The sixth prince has asked the imperial concubine several times for the matter of leaving the palace. She had been refusing to agree before, but this time she found that the sixth prince was really restless, and she was afraid that he would be uncomfortable in the palace, so she finally agreed.

The noble concubine is in charge of the Phoenix seal, and the six princes go out to play in the palace. As long as she agrees, there is no need to alarm Wei Huang.

The sixth prince was extremely happy, all the previous irritability disappeared for a while, and he quickly responded sweetly to the noble concubine: “Mother, you are so kind! Mother, don’t worry, the child will only go outside to relax, and will not run around.”

The imperial concubine ordered all the entourage and guards, and repeatedly asked the sixth prince to pay attention to safety, and then let him out of the palace.

The imperial concubine at this time did not expect that the sixth prince had gradually grown up, and was no longer the little doll she used to listen to whatever she said. Even though he still acted like a baby, he also had his own ideas.

Ten-year-old teenagers often have a problem: the more their elders remind them, the more forbidden things are, the more they like to try.

This is especially true with the sixth prince’s disposition.
