Xu Qing was stunned: "Your Majesty, I am sitting on the general's side."
The Xian Wang looked at Xu Qing: "Is the president of the Guoshang Academy a military general?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "The president of the Guoshang Academy is not, but the three commanders of the Shadow Guards are."
Now he was stunned and turned into a wise king. He almost forgot that this boy had been promoted during this period. It seemed that he was promoted by himself...
However, this did not faze the Xian Wang, who continued: "Is there any rule that military generals cannot write birthday speeches? Xu Qing, every time when you give birthday speeches, military generals are in a weak position. Shouldn't you give me the Great Chu Military General today?
Do you want to raise morale?"
Well, you are indeed a wise king, no matter what you say, it makes sense.
Many civil servants and generals on the side looked at Xu Qing in a different way. The prince, who was in charge of the three shadow guards, actually handed over the shadow guard to Xu Qing!
Why did the prince place so much importance on Xu Qing, who was born in an ordinary family? He was already in charge of the Guoshang Academy, which was considered a high position, and now he gave the shadow guard to Xu Qing. The reason behind this is thought-provoking!
The Emperor of Chu on the side began to smooth things over and said: "Brother, I don't think you should embarrass Xu Qing. It is the first time for Xu Qing to attend a birthday banquet. He is not familiar with it. It is expected that he has not prepared a birthday speech."
He knew about Xu Qing's background. He was a policeman, and was gradually cultivated by the emperor's brother to the position of dean of the National Business Academy. It was expected that he was not good at poetry.
The wise king smiled and said: "Don't underestimate Xu Qing. He is said to be the most talented scholar in Yongzhou City with only two poems in Yongzhou City. This boy has real skills."
The words of the wise king made everyone look at Xu Qing with admiration. They really didn't expect that this person had such attainments in poetry.
Xu Qing said truthfully, "I don't dare to take it seriously. I'm just standing on the shoulders of those who came before me."
The wise king said: "Don't be humble anymore. Write an article quickly and have a look. I'll allow you a cup of tea."
Xu Qing looked at the wise king and felt ready to go up and give him a punch. He wrote a birthday poem. After nine years of compulsory education, he had memorized so many poems. How could there be any one about birthday wishes?
As for college? High school is the pinnacle of brain functioning. I didn’t work as hard as my senior year to take the postgraduate entrance examination. If I didn’t even have a birthday poem in high school, I wouldn’t even think about going to college.
There is no longevity poem, but I have seen one poem.
This woman is not a human being,
The Nine Heavens Fairy descends to the mortal world,
Children and grandchildren all become thieves,
Steal the flat peach and live a long life for your loved ones.
But there is a lot of cleverness in this poem. In this kind of situation, it is too easy to overturn. Maybe I just read the first sentence and be carried out before I can read the second sentence.
He never does high-risk things.
Moreover, asking for longevity poems by name and writing a poem by myself does not meet the requirements of the title.
Can I give you points if I go off topic?
At this moment, Emperor Chu said: "The birthday messages of many ministers present are either one month in advance or have been prepared. It is indeed difficult to write a birthday message in the time of a cup of tea. It is better to rewrite a pair of birthday couplets. Emperor
What do you think, brother?"
The Xian Wang looked at Xu Qing with a confused look on his face and felt that his request might be a bit too much, so he nodded and said: "What the emperor said is reasonable, and it is indeed a bit too much. So let's rewrite a pair of birthday couplets, and I will serve you with pen and ink."
This is the benefit of the prince. Jun Wuxi said that if the wise king were the emperor, he would not be able to change his words once he said them. Fortunately, he was the prince. As long as what he said was not a military order, he could change it how he wanted.
It’s no wonder that the King Xian thought this way. At the Prince’s Poetry Competition, topics were randomly selected and improvised. Xu Qing improvised two phrases that were praised by many famous literati in Yongzhou as masterpieces handed down from generation to generation.
This led Xian Wang, who had never written a single poem, to take it for granted that writing lyrics was a simple matter for Xu Qing.
I really didn't expect that I would be able to stump him on this.
Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. There were no birthday words, but birthday couplets were not a problem. In his previous life, he used to talk about this a lot when he wished birthdays to the elderly in his family.
One of them has a very high appearance rate, so high that it feels perfunctory.
It is the worst of the birthday couplets.
But at this time, Xu Qingguan is no longer on the bad streets, and the longevity couplets that can get away with it are good longevity couplets.
I saw Xu Qing walk out of his seat, go to the desk prepared by the servants in the palace, pick up a brush, dip it in the polished ink, and write with concentration.
First couplet: Blessings are like the long running water of the East China Sea
Second line: Longevity Pine in Nanshan Mountain
After finishing writing, Xu Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief and finally got over it.
Xu Qing put down the brush, and the two couplets were picked up by the waiter on the side.
Emperor Chu hadn't read the couplet yet. He only saw the words and said: "It seems that Uncle Anding is also quite accomplished in calligraphy."
Xu Qing had no choice but to remain silent, crying in her heart. She said well, but she is not allowed to say anything next time. Why do she want to stab others in the heart?
How this word came about has nothing to do with attainment or lack thereof. The main reason is that my mother likes it!
Then the queen looked at the words on the couplet and couldn't help but read out loud: "Blessings are as long as the flowing water of the East China Sea, and life is as long as the immortal pines in the Southern Mountains. This pair of longevity couplets is indeed the best pair among the many longevity couplets that this palace has received in the past.
I also like this word very much."
Xu Qing looked at the queen and felt that she was taking advantage of him.
However, Xu Qing could only hand it over and say, "As long as your Majesty likes it."
Voiceover: As long as you are happy.
Fortunately, this is Dachu. If in future generations, a woman as big as a queen celebrates her birthday and you say something special to the elderly: "Blessings like the East China Sea, longevity and longevity, Nanshan Mountain, I'm afraid they will beat you out."
Grandma, who are you talking about being old?!
After that, this couplet was circulated among the ministers.
Jiang Xiang looked at this couplet and couldn't help stroking his beard and said: "Blessings are like the long flowing water of the East China Sea. The water of the East China Sea is endless, which means that the blessings of the empress are endless. The first couplet written by An Dingbo is really excellent."
"The longevity is as long as the immortal pines in Nanshan? Could this be taken from the Book of Songs: Like the longevity of Nanshan, it never grows old and never collapses. It is like the luxuriance of pines and cypresses. These two sentences are all consistent with these two sentences? It is really a clever use of allusions. I really didn't expect it.
Anding Bo is so talented in literature and art, I admire him."
Xu Qing bowed his hand towards Jiang Xiang, Jiang Daoxuan's grandfather: "Jiang Xiang is very complimentary."
But what I was thinking in my mind was: What the hell? Is there such a meaning? A couplet written on a birthday in a bad street in later generations can even be used as an allusion to the words in the Book of Songs? What a great guy!
You are worthy of being a left prime minister. You have not read this book in vain!
Seeing that Jiang Xiang had stepped on the thunder, the civil servants in the future could feel free to brag without restraint. If Jiang Xiang said it was good, then it was good, and then a group of civil servants came out with one big talent at a time, and some additional
Praising words, such as being astute, talented, knowledgeable, well-informed, etc.
Xu Qing really didn't expect that just a pair of bad birthday couplets could cause such a sensation in the court. These words of praise made Xu Qing feel a little embarrassed.
If it were to be expressed in later generations, it would not be so laborious. Four words could perfectly show the power of this pair of longevity couplets:
