Chapter 1286 Foodie and Poetry
His Majesty Li Er was dressed in ordinary clothes, with his hands behind his back, walking like a cart.The imperial guards spread out front and back, keeping vigilance at all times.
A stream poured from the top of the mountain, the water gurgled and twisted, flowed by the side of the Fangjia farm, and then turned northward, all the way along the mountain and poured into the Weishui River.
At the place where the stream passes through Fangjia Farm, there is a small stone bridge, and the peach trees on both sides of the bridge are forested. The spring is bright and the peach blossoms and green leaves have not yet bloomed, but a tree bud opens a crack with the warm spring breeze, revealing the White petals inside.
Streams, stone bridges, peach blossoms...
Chun and Jingming.
His Majesty Li Er stepped on the stone bridge, looked back, and looked downstream along the stream, and saw people in a hurry in the spacious field, and occasionally there were cows making "moo" calls, wagging their tails and pulling easily. The plow stick is walking in the field, and there are farmers behind it holding the plow stick. Wherever it passes, the straight field ridges extend slowly...
A little further away is the village inhabited on the hillside. At noon at this time, the village is quiet and occasionally there are cocks and dogs barking. You can imagine the peace and comfort of the smoke in the morning and evening.
It has the serenity of the quiet and beautiful scenery, and the fireworks of hearing each other, which seems to be slightly better than my gorgeous and magnificent Xingyuan...
His Majesty Li Er frowned slightly, feeling a little annoyed in his heart. He was about to ask Wang De whether this place was still within the scope of the Fang family farm, and whether it was possible to include it in the Xingyuan, when he heard the news of a row of peach trees on the west side of the bridge. Come to hide the human voice.
"The son-in-law of the house wrote a poem here that day, 'The waves mean thousands of miles of snow, and the peach blossoms are silent for a team of spring. A pot of wine, a pole of money, as happy as how many people I have'?"
The voice is beautiful and sweet, and it smells like an oriole.
His Majesty Li Er could hear the voice of Princess Fangling, and then he remembered the first time the crown prince came to visit Fang Jun, and Fang Jun composed the song "The Fisherman" to persuade him.What is particularly rare is that while writing this poem, he also wrote a poem with a very similar artistic conception "a boat with a spring breeze, a boat with a cocoon, and a light hook. The lake is full of flowers, the wine is full of wine, and the waves are full of free"……
Of course, His Majesty Li Er admired Fang Junzhi's talent, but for an emperor, such a freehand and freehand artistic conception is something that can be met but not sought after.If all the talented people in the world are fishing with fishing rods all day long, who will govern the empire?
On the other hand, another sentence Fang Jun said that day made His Majesty Li Er empathize with him and highly admire it.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight!
Who doesn't covet the throne of Nine Five Supreme?
But who knows, behind this supreme power of the world's supreme, there is hidden such a huge pressure as to overwhelm the top of Mount Tai!
We must always guard against the rebellion of our courtiers, the rebellion of the people, and even our own sons... We must be alert to the subversion of neighboring countries, and we must not lose the city or land in our own hands; we must work hard to govern and expand the empire; Caring for the people to live and work in peace and contentment...
Can the emperor who has mastered the supreme power in the world do whatever he wants?
Absolutely not!
Not only is it not, but you have to bear all kinds of shackles and constraints, and suppress the hidden desires in your heart, unless you want to be a king of subjugation like Xia Jie and Shang Zhou...
Want to sit in this position, use the country as a platform, use the common people as a chess piece, point the country and hold the sun and the moon, how easy is it?
After Taolin came Fang Jun's voice: "Your Highness is laughing at you, but it was just a shallow thing that came out of Yingjing's mouth that day, and I'm afraid it will spoil His Highness's eyes and ears."
"Hey, Fang Erlang, when did you become so self-effacing? If your poems can also be called shallow works, then do you want to save the lives of the world's scholars?" Princess Fangling's laughter was as clear as a silver bell. , apparently in high spirits.
"Most people in the world are arty and imitative, but they are just a few poems, but they are so popular that they seem to be able to shake the past and change the present. Even if there is no one before or after, so what? Poetry is a small way, neither can It makes the empire strong and invincible, and it can’t make the people have enough food and clothing to live safely, but it’s just for entertainment after dinner, and it’s not worth mentioning.”
Hearing Fang Jun's modest words, His Majesty Li Er secretly nodded.
Although this kid is arrogant and willful, his knowledge has always been superior to others, and he can always make thought-provoking arguments.
Then the crown prince Li Chengqian asked: "Why is Erlang so contemptuous of the way of poetry? If it is really as bad as you said, why does the imperial examination use poetry to judge success or failure? With an official position?"
"His Royal Highness, the imperial examination is a grand ceremony for the country's talents. It is easy to select the scholars from all over the world to be used by the empire. But all the scholars in the world are descendants of aristocratic families. How many people can there be from poor families? It deviates from its essence, and it is useless. The reason why poetry and songs are used to determine the outcome, rather than the profound meaning of the classics and history subsets, as the selection criteria is because compared with the classics and history subsets, which require years of continuous study and profound knowledge inherited from family sources, Poems and songs are more focused on the talents of scholars. Relatively speaking, it is more fair, after all, how many poor children in the world can read a lot of books and get advice from famous teachers?"
As the main planner of the imperial examination system, Fang Jun stated the purpose of the imperial examination at this stage, and it is really helpless to use poetry and poetry as the main basis for selecting materials.Otherwise, if the exam questions come from a collection of classics and history, I am afraid that all the poor scholars in the world will be wiped out. How can they compare with the children of aristocratic families who have a long history of family studies and have been immersed in it since childhood?
There was a moment of silence behind Taolin, most of them were thinking about the meaning of Fang Jun's words.
His Majesty Li Er sighed slightly.
The prince is a very filial person, kind-hearted and forgiving. As a successful king, it is really the best.It's just that the Tang Dynasty is booming at the moment, and both the economy and the military are on a road of rapid development. The social situation is changing rapidly, and the ability to defend the city is far from enough. It takes forge ahead, great talent and strategy to control this huge empire. Go all the way towards unprecedented strength and dominance, unify the world and sweep the world!
In this regard, the crown prince is not as good as Wei Wang Li Tai...
But who told this to be his eldest son?
His original throne was wrong. If it wasn't for his great talent and general dedication to assist him, the empire would have fallen into civil strife and the foreign enemies would have taken advantage of it.If my throne is not passed on to the eldest son, I am afraid that after a hundred years, the empire will be full of wars and fall into internal friction, and the great situation of dominating the world and creating a great cause through the ages will be missed in vain.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of the young slave who was very close to Changsun Wuji recently...
After standing on the stone bridge for a while, His Majesty Li Er walked towards Taolin with his hands behind his back.One of the imperial guards stepped forward and wanted to notify the prince, Fang Jun and others, but was stopped by His Majesty Li Er with a slight wave of his hand, and the imperial guards bowed slightly and dispersed to the surrounding realm.
Walking down the small and exquisite bluestone bridge, bypassing the rows of budding peach trees, you will see a short stone table under the peach trees by the stream, with delicious wine and food on the table, surrounded by thick pavement. On the carpet of the Western Regions, several people were sitting on the floor, chatting and drinking.
The sudden appearance of His Majesty Li Er caused the atmosphere here to freeze for an instant. They were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly got up together, and saluted respectfully: "I have seen my father (Your Majesty)!"
His Majesty Li Er walked forward, with a warm smile on his face, and nodded slightly: "Excuse me! The stream is clear, the peach forest is tender, the blue sky and white clouds, the spring and the scenery... you will enjoy it quite a bit. What, Fang Jun, don't you need to go to Jingzhao Mansion to work?"
Fang Jun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, my wife and concubine are about to give birth recently, and I have already told the ministers and assistants in the Zhengshitang for leave, and I have the right to accompany my wife and concubine at home. It just so happened that several His Highnesses came to visit Princess Gaoyang today. Host a banquet and entertain, and show the friendship of the landlord."
His Majesty Li Er snorted: "Gao Yang is in the mansion in the city at the moment, but you have to come to Lishan to host a banquet, but you don't think it's troublesome?"
The atmosphere was slightly awkward.
Crown Prince Li Chengqian and Princess Fangling felt a little guilty when they saw His Majesty Li Er's face sombre. What happened to the emperor, they felt like they were here to find fault...
Even if you are the emperor, you can't control where your courtiers are having banquets, right?
Princess Changle's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and she glanced at Fang Jun, who was sweating slightly on his forehead, with a slight smile on his lips.
It seems that as long as Fang Jun, who is usually domineering and domineering, shows a slightly panicked expression at the moment, she will be extraordinarily happy...
