The residence of the Xiong Emperor in Qinchuan, and the residence of the Zhuang Emperor in Hangu. The Qi Palace has risen thousands of times, and there are more than a hundred pheasants leaving the palace.
This poem "Imperial Capital Chapter" written by Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, speaks highly of the majesty and magnificence of the imperial capital Chang'an. It may not be very superb in terms of poetic skills alone, but it is the voice of the emperor and has good charm, so it is listed as a
The first chapter of "Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty".
Today, most banquets in the academy are attended by people from the Southern Dynasties, and Southerners appreciate poetry and prose. Whether it is Xu Ling, who was the envoy of the Southern Dynasty, or Wang Bao and Yu Xin, who had previously returned to the Western Wei Dynasty, they are all great poets and have many famous literary works handed down to the world.
In comparison, the Western Wei Dynasty did not have strong cultural self-confidence. Even in recent years, many people from Guandong have come to Guanzhong, such as Cui Zhan, Lu Sidao, etc., although they can be regarded as temporary choices, but they are not as good as Xu Yuzhi, who has been famous for a long time.
Compared with it, it is still somewhat inferior.
But this is not a problem for Li Tai, and he is not bragging. He alone can defeat the entire Southern Dynasty. Everyone thinks that his martial arts skills are world-class, but they don't know that poetry and prose are his real special skills.
.
It’s not that he meant to be modest. In fact, if he stayed with the strong soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty who lacked artistic talent, he had no chance to show off. "Three Hundred Tang Poems" can also be remembered.
, as a result, I stared blankly upon hearing it, not knowing what was so interesting about it, and it was really not interesting at all.
When he was in Rangcheng, Mianbei, Li Tai also sang and sang to interact with people in Jiangling. The poems he occasionally composed had already amazed many people in Jiangling at that time. Before and after the Battle of Jiangling, many people in the Southern Dynasties attached themselves to him.
In addition to his own powerful power, it was also because of this sense of cultural identity that these people from the Southern Dynasties did not have much emotional resistance to him.
If you want to quickly establish a sense of identity with someone, in addition to your hometown, the most effective way is to find common topics in the fields that the other person is familiar with. For example, the later Emperor Qianlong wrote countless poems in his life, and was known as the great barnacle in the cultural relics world.
, this is of course due to his own interests, but also to show his obsession and expertise in the traditional culture of the Han people.
Today, scholars from the Southern Dynasties gathered in the academy. Before Li Tai arrived, there was already a lot of singing and harmony. After Li Tai arrived, he did not let the atmosphere cool down. He immediately chanted a song "Imperial Capital Chapter" and immediately overwhelmed the audience with his skills and won the first place in the audience.
The crowd unanimously praised him.
In fact, Li Shimin's "Imperial Capital Chapter" is not a top-notch poem. At least in Li Tai's opinion, it is quite satisfactory. He could easily copy another poem with higher artistic achievements. Such as "A country with thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, a city with nine gates"
", but this is not necessary, and King Luo Bin's "Imperial Capital Chapter" also includes the line "The Yellow Birds Nest in Gui" to ridicule Wang Mang for usurping the Han Dynasty, which is a bit inconsistent with his character.
However, even if the Southern Dynasty people present did not know the allusion of "empty beams falling on swallows and mud", they also knew that leaders and horses should be photographed on such occasions. What's more, the development of art also progressed with the times, even top scholars of the Southern Dynasties such as Xu Yu were present.
, it was difficult for a while to create a work that could surpass this poem.
Although the current Emperor of Chang'an is not a majestic emperor, and Chang'an is far less gorgeous than Qidian Qianxun, his poetry works always contain elements of artistic exaggeration. After Li Tai sang this poem, he soon had other talents and quick thinking
People tried to sing and harmonize, and their levels varied greatly, and the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became lively.
It was early summer in April, and there were clear springs, waterfalls, and green willows in the school. Even though it was already past the first day of March, Li Tai still had people arrange a scene with a meandering stream of wine drinking water to fill the atmosphere and make the atmosphere more exciting.
These attendees felt very much at home.
Although Li Tai was the absolute protagonist at the banquet, he also paid a lot of attention to some special people, including Chen Baxian's nephew.
Li Tai had never met Chen Baxian, and mostly knew about his appearance and temperament from other people's descriptions. At this time, he saw that his son Chen Chang and nephew Chen Xu were both handsome and dignified. From this, he could slightly imagine Chen Baxian's specific appearance.
"Has Mr. Chen lived a comfortable life since he came to Beijing?"
In the past, the two parties had no communication and were in a hostile attitude. Li Tai could ignore the two cousins. However, from then on, the two parties had to cooperate in various ways and of course they had to give them the necessary care. So Li Tai decided to
He asked Chen Chang with a smile.
After hearing this, Chen Chang stood up quickly, bowed his head to Li Tai and replied: "When I first entered Chang'an, I did feel uncomfortable. People from the south travel north and are not accustomed to the climate, but after living for a period of time, I gradually got used to it. Especially since Tang Gong entered the dynasty,
I have taken great care of the residents, and their food and daily life have improved. I am sincerely grateful to Mr. Tang for taking care of me. However, my homesickness for my family has become more and more intense with each passing day, and my pillows are often wet with tears."
"Human beings are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? Foxes die on their heads, birds return to their nests when they are tired, crows feed them back, and lambs knelt down to breastfeed. This is how things are connected to human nature. This is how it is."
Hearing what Chen Chang said, Li Tai replied with a smile, and then his face darkened again, and he said seriously: "But the reason why humans are different from beasts is that they have self-denial and determination, they work hard to become stronger, and they are not stymied by material circumstances.
Not bound by adversity. King Wen was bound to perform the Book of Changes, and Zhongniee wrote the Spring and Autumn Period. The deeds of the sages and sages are so melodious that even if it is difficult for the rest of the generation to imitate them, it will be of great benefit to them to follow the traces and follow them superficially!
Your father, Chen Situ, is still guarding Jiangbiao today. He has not given up because of the enemy's strength, but still fights hard. His children should also pursue this ambition. Even though they are far apart, they are still determined to strengthen themselves. This is truly better than shedding tears in vain. We will meet again in the future.
You can speak boldly and live up to your time!"
He is naturally qualified to say such a thing. There are so many people who are separated from their close relatives in troubled times, but there are very few people like him who can achieve such deeds after being separated from their relatives.
Chen Chang had been in Chang'an for a long time and had heard a lot about Tang Gong's deeds. He really admired him in his heart. He was also very encouraged after hearing these words. He bowed again and said: "I will definitely remember Tang Gong's good teachings.
Be determined to study with all your heart, so that you can show off your talent and ambition when you kneel before your father in the coming year."
Perhaps because he had a decent upbringing and was living in a foreign land, Chen Chang did not have the irritability of ordinary young people or the arrogance of children from wealthy families. He also responded to conversations quite appropriately, which made Li Tai have a good impression of him.
When he learned that Chen Chang only studied Confucian classics on his own in the residence arranged by Jingzhao Mansion, Li Taidang pointed at Zhou Hongzheng, who was about to serve as the scholar of the Imperial Academy, and said: "Since this disciple has a desire to learn, he entrusts it to Zhou Hongzheng."
Please teach me carefully so that his father will not blame me for abandoning his son!"
After hearing this, Zhou Hongzheng quickly nodded in agreement, then looked at Chen Chang and asked a few questions about the meaning of the scriptures. After listening to his answers, he had an understanding of his level of knowledge, and sat back down at the table without saying anything more.
.
Those of them who came to the Western Wei Dynasty after the Battle of Jiangling did not have any special feelings for Chen Baxian, and they even had some vague resistance and hatred in their hearts. Chen Baxian's behavior of attacking and killing Wang Sengbian for power made the remaining embers of Nanliang
Becoming more bleak.
Because Li Tai knew the subsequent development of the Southern Dynasty, he also treated Chen Chang as a foreign prince. Similar to the previous attack on the Turks, the little Khan of the southern Turks took pictures and brought them back to Chang'an. Next, Li Tai also plans to
He was arranged to go to the Imperial Academy to receive education from the Western Wei Dynasty.
Of course, he does not expect to be able to easily dismantle the power of these forces by educating their second-generation children, but with such a connection, he will have greater personnel space for related operations in the future.
As for Chen Xu, the real emperor of Nanchen in history, Li Tai also had a brief chat with him. Nowadays, Chen Xu does not seem to have any imperial appearance, and he is calm and decent in dealing with it. But he doesn’t know if it is an illusion, Li Tai always feels that this
The boy's eyes looked at him a little strangely.
However, he didn't care about it. Out of respect for Chen Baxian, the two of them were given the title of Marquis of the Fifth Rank General, and were rewarded with a batch of property so that they could settle down and live in Chang'an. After all, now
The two sides have resumed exchanges and cooperation, and it would be inappropriate to detain people under house arrest.
When the lanterns started to light up and after three drinks, Li Tai got up and retreated temporarily, returning to the inner palace, where his own officials continued to maintain the atmosphere. However, when all the guests saw that Tang Gong had already left, they all stood up and left one after another.
Xu Ling and other envoys from the Southern Dynasties planned to send Chen Chang and the two back to their residence in Chang'an, but after thinking about it, Chen Xu waved his hand and said that he wanted to stay and continue the feast. Chen Chang was not surprised by this, as this cousin
He was originally fond of sensuality and singing every night. Because he was anxious to ask Xu Ling about his father's explanation, he left first and only agreed to arrange for someone to pick up Chen Xu tomorrow morning.
Not to mention the banquet in the front hall, after Li Tai returned to the inner palace, there was also a family banquet going on in the inner palace. The banquet was mainly attended by people from the inner palace. Lady Yao also wore an auspicious dress and presented food and drinks to the mistress first.
, and then accepted the congratulations and congratulations from everyone in the family. The scene was not as grand as when he married his wife, but it was still a bit warm.
When the servant informed that Mr. Tang had returned to the house, Miaoyin's expression became serious for a moment, but soon she smiled again. She took Mrs. Yao's wrist and said, "This is a good night for you, Madam. I will pay you for my husband's daily life. Go ahead."
.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Yao looked quite shy, but she still stood up, bowed to Miaoyin and said, "Thank you very much, Mistress, for your tolerance and acceptance. From now on, I will definitely serve the Lord and Mistress with all my heart, and it will benefit my family tradition."
After Li Tai returned to the house, he was introduced into the newly decorated room. Looking at the festive decorations in the room, he couldn't help but feel a little hot. The staff brought him a warm cheese drink and took a few sips. Lady Yao had already taken a drink from outside the door.
After entering the hall, he bowed down and said: "I am ordered by my mistress's mother to serve the Lord this night. If the Lord has no other orders, I will go into the curtained room."
"Go, go!"
Although it was not the first time for Li Tai to enter the bridal chamber, this kind of thing happened all the time. Seeing this graceful lady walking into the bedroom, he felt a dry cough in his throat. He drank two cups of buttermilk and then finally
Get up and enter the room.
Mrs. Yao's name is Wan'er. At this time, the bed has already been made. Her clothes have been folded flat on the hangers next to the bed. She is sitting on the plain silk quilt with only her thin gauze clothes and her posture.
Soft and graceful, with beautiful peaks and ridges.
When she saw Li Tai lifted up the curtains and entered the bed, the lady could not help but tremble nervously, but she still managed to calm down her mind, raised her pretty face like a peach blossom, and murmured softly: "Although I am a jasper, I
At this age, I have not experienced human affairs, and I may have a dull sense of humor, but I just beg the Lord for mercy..."
While she was talking, the lady leaned forward and clasped Li Tai's belt with her bare hands. Li Tai felt that his arms were filled with warmth and fragrance, and before he could turn around, the robe had left his body, and a warm jade came next to him.
