It took a lunch, plus a piece of Thick and Dark, to make Zhang Siwei satisfied and shut his mouth.
Of course, at lunch time also called on Wang Shizhen, the dinner table Wang Shizhen heard of Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen in the Jiaojiao smooth gold pen, speechless pointing to Zhu Pingan and Zhang Siwei shook his head with a smile, commented on a word, “vulgar”.
However, when Wang Shizhen heard about the extravagant spending on the Jiao-festival, he chided the duo for taking less gold pens!
“Ai, I also heard about this jiao-festival in the Da Lisi, it is said that Yan Song advised the Holy Spirit to open the jiao-festival.”Wang Shizhen sighed and shared the gossip he happened to hear at the Da Lisi with Zhu Pingan and Zhang Siwei, his words filled with dissatisfaction towards Yan Song.
After speaking, Wang Shizhen took advantage of the fullness of blood dipped in the vegetable soup to write a song on the table with his finger, “The Row of Qin Jiao”:
A five-coloured bird flies in, naming itself the Phoenix. It is not seen once in a thousand autumns, but when it is seen, the kingdom flourishes.
I sat in the hall with bells and drums, and the hall was filled with bamboo, and I didn’t sing for three days, so I didn’t think it would be long!
In the morning, I don’t see the phoenix, but the phoenix is pecking at a rotten rat in the shade of the east gate, chirping and not feeding.
The phoenix is in the shade of the west gate and winks at the eagle, wishing that the flesh of the phoenix would be seized and divided into fishy remains.
The sycamore tree grows bitterly cold, and the bamboo fruit grows bitterly hungry. All the birds look at each other in amazement, not knowing that the phoenix is a Chinensis.
Wang Shizhen’s poem is aimed at Yan Song, Zhu Pingan can see at a glance, Qin鴀 is the “Classic of Mountains and Seas” inside a god, Zhu Pingan just read the “Classic of Mountains and Seas” in the morning, on the Qin鴀 this thing remembered clearly, the Qin鴀 in the court of heaven was convicted by the emperor of the sky was killed, after the death of the Qin鴀 into the big osprey, the shape of the statue but the red beak and the claws of the tiger, to eat decaying animals to maintain their survival. It is a kind of calamitous beast, and its appearance means war, plague and so on.
Wang Shizhen with Chin 鴀 implicitly satirised Yan Song, you a eat rotten food Chin 鴀 pretend what the phoenix ah, people phoenix non sycamore does not fall feet, non bamboo does not go down the mouth, and you are insatiable, eat rotten rats, but also fawning to the eagles, and the most critical thing is that you are still shamelessly sitting in the Hall of Fame ……
“Heh. Wensheng, there is a beautiful article you have to read ah.”Zhang Siwei laughed at the situation, then handed Wang Shizhen the article “Thick and Dark” that he had coerced Zhu Pingan to write from his bosom.
Wang Shizhen was sharp and cynical. This is a good thing, but it is not a good thing, now Yan Song is in power, when there is not enough strength, it is better to hide the sharpness. So. Zhang Siwei then Zhu Pingan wrote “thick black science” to Wang Shizhen to see, want to let him be inspired by it.
Wang Shizhen was initially unimpressed, however after reading it for a few moments he became more and more serious, sitting up and savouring his body word by word.
“Although I do not agree with the view of this article, but stunning, this who is written, which everyone?”Wang Shizhen finished reading, deep admiration, and then asked.
“Far away in the sky, close to my eyes.”Zhang Siwei smiled. Stretching out his finger, he pointed to Zhu Pingan, who was merrily eating on one side.
“Heh heh heh, I think it’s also Zi Hou, and only a person like Zi Hou, who has a naive appearance but is in fact as wise as a fool, can write this kind of insightful and marvellous writing.”Wang Shizhen suspected that it was written by Zhu Pingan when he first started to read it, because the font was Zhu Pingan’s font, and if this kind of strange writing had existed in the past, it would have been circulated long ago, then it was written only now, and it was easy to associate it with Zhu Pingan.
“The game’s over, there’s no such thing as insight into the human heart.”Zhu Pingan smiled and shook his head, then pointed to the poem left by Wang Shizhen on the table and said. “Wensheng this piece of ‘Chin’s Row’ is much better than my game piece, but Wensheng you are also too sharp. You and I both understand the reasoning, but now is not the time for us to make our voices heard. As the saying goes, a gentleman hides his weapons in his body and waits for the time to move.”
“What Zi Hou said is exactly what I wanted to say. It doesn’t matter if it’s like this in front of us, but in front of the others, Wensheng still needs to be more careful. At this moment, the Yan Party is very powerful, so we must not fight with them, and be careful of being devoured instead of hurting the tiger. Cut to later, the time is ripe. And then slowly figure it out.”Zhang Siwei added a few more sentences after Zhu Pingan’s words.
Wang Shizhen sighed and nodded, “Don’t worry, I’m just saying this in front of you.”
After lunch, Zhu Pingan and Zhang Siwei sent Wang Shizhen to the Da Lisi before the two returned to the Hanlin Academy. After arriving at the Hanlin Academy, Zhang Siwei went back to his office to take care of things, and Zhu Pingan went back to the Book Collection Pavilion and continued the great task of organising the bookshelves.
In the afternoon about three o’clock, the Hanlin Academy came a few small yellow door, to the Hanlin Academy to send the Palace’s reward, not gold, silver and jewellery, not what title of honour, is just seven hats.
These seven hats were rewarded to this morning to go to the West Garden to write couplets of green words of the Hanlin, that is, Zhu Pingan, seven of them.
Received the hat, Zhu Pingan felt Jiajing emperor’s reward is very perfunctory, this hat is clearly today’s jiaojiao when some Taoist priests wear the hat ……
This hat is somewhat similar to the crown, I do not know with the history books recorded in the Jiajing Emperor gave Yan Song, Xia Yan and other ministers of the incense water leaf crown is not the same style. This hat is black, black in the five elements corresponds to water, about the Taoist worship of water, Taoism Shangshui because water is good and does not compete.
Several small yellow door after sending the reward, but also brought a number of fine framed paper, paper written on the couplets and green words, are selected from today’s jiaojiao used in the couplets and green words, stamped with the Jiajing emperor’s private seal, that is to say, this above the couplets and green words are approved by the Jiajing emperor.
“I beg your honour to file them in accordance with the usual practice.”Little Yellow Door handed the framed paper to Li Chunfang.
Li Chunfang nodded his head and stretched out his hands to receive it respectfully, it was customary to file the selected couplets and words from the Jiao-festival, so Li Chunfang naturally knew how to do it. After Li Chunfang received it, Little Yellow Door waved his duster and took his leave to return to the West Garden.
After the yellow door left, the Hanlin in the hall urged Li Chunfang to open the paper to see which couplets and words had entered the eyes of Emperor Jiajing.
Li Chunfang naturally will not brush aside the wishes of the crowd, readily accepting the hands of exquisitely framed paper unfolded and laid on the table for all to see. The archive contains a total of ten couplets, two words, who wrote the book are also recorded in the volume, the people can see at a glance.
The first of the two pieces was Yuan Wei’s, which made Yuan Wei very proud, and his complacency was written all over his face.
Under the crowd’s admiration, Yuan Wei swept a forty-five-degree glance at Zhu Pingan, the corner of his mouth slightly skimmed, see, this is me, Yuan Wei! You, Zhu Pingan, can’t!
However, when Li Chunfang unfolded the second piece, Yuan Wei’s eyes became a little strange, the second piece of the Qing lyrics was written by none other than Zhu Pingan.
It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m the first one, and the Emperor appreciates the first one the most, so how can Zhu Ping’an’s second one be as good as his own?
Yuan Wei comforted himself for a moment, and his mood picked up again.
However, when Li Chunfang unfolded the third piece of paper, Yuan Wei couldn’t stay calm, his eyes were almost glazed over, and his mouth was as hard as if he had swallowed a fly.
Of these ten couplets, Zhu Pingan had actually accounted for three alone, and they were still the first three! He himself had only been entered into one pair of couplets, and it was still at the back!
If that was all, Yuan Wei would not have been so bad!
The first couplet, Zhu Pingan is using his own “Luo Shui Xuan Turtle first offering, yin number nine, yang number nine, nine hundred and ninety-eighty-one numbers, the number of the road, the road to the beginning of the Heavenly Father, a sincerity of the sense; Qishan Danfeng two present auspicious, the male song of six, the female song of six, six hundred and sixty-six voices, the voice of the heavens, the birth of the Emperor Jiajing, a thousand years of life, but but it was changed by him!was altered by him! The alteration is relatively big, and the alteration is still very successful!
“Sorting out the grass of yarrow to form a text, the number of heaven is five, the number of earth is five, five five twenty-five numbers, the number is born in the Tao, the Tao is in harmony with the First Heavenly Father, there is no two tops in respect; Cutting off the bamboo tube in the valley to harmonise with the law, the sound of the Yang is six, the sound of the Yin is six, the sound of the six sixty-three sixty voices, the sound is heard in the heavens, the natural-born Emperor Jiajing, the emperor is united for ten thousand years.”
If only this pair of couplets, Yuan Wei can still mock Zhu Pingan fried his own cold rice and so on, but the latter two couplets are Zhu Pingan’s original, and the second pair of that “dragon fly forty years have five years ……”The second couplet, “The dragon flies for forty years”, was completely comparable to his own couplet, which made Yuan Wei unable to even say anything to mock him.
How do you look at it, how do you feel that Zhu Pingan is deliberately mocking and provoking himself!
In the past, every Jiaojiao was the time for me, Yuan Wei, to make a big splash, but today it was ……I’m not sure how depressed I am.
