(2-in-1) After the song ended, everyone in the audience fell into silence. After a while, the applause started, and everyone stood up and clapped their hands in admiration. This song really sang out the inner conflicts and struggles of many people.
.
Once upon a time, many of the people here also had lofty ideals and a desire to help the world. They were also ambitious and full of pride, thinking that they would be able to practice the words of the saints, act upright, and be worthy of their hearts.
However, today, they have already fallen into the world of flowers and lights, unable to extricate themselves from the feasting and feasting. When they think about themselves in the middle of the night, they will lament that they have lived the life they hate the most. However, let them give up everything in front of them,
When they gave up money, status and reputation, gave up their wives and concubines, gave up flattery, and were themselves, they found that they couldn't do it at all. But they were unwilling to give up in their hearts, but they wanted to stay away from it all. Such contradictions
And struggle, the difficult choice of possession and giving up, is exactly the meaning expressed in this song and lyrics. This is what moved them.
Lin Jue smiled and bowed his hands in thanks. Guo Caiwei also stood up and saluted. After the ceremony, her long skirt rustled and she left.
"This song... this song is really wonderful. In the lyrics, the vicissitudes of life are intense and exciting, but also gentle and helpless. It makes people feel sad and unspeakable. Lin Zhuangyuan is indeed a great talent in the world, and it makes people admire him extremely.
"An old man sitting on the seat said in a deep voice with moist eyes.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "I don't dare. If I can do it without humiliating you all, I will be satisfied."
"Lin Jue, don't be self-effacing. I feel that Lord Zheng's feelings are the same as mine. Listening to this song, I seem to be reminded of the past. I think of the passionate and high-spirited moments when I was young, and I also think of what I did before.
There are many things I regret about. When I get older, I often reflect on myself, and many things are difficult to face. But after listening to this song, I suddenly understood. It turns out that life is like this, all successes and failures, regrets and regrets, but
It’s all fate.”
Guo Bing spoke in a deep voice. His expression was dignified and calm. It was obvious that this song had deeply touched him. In fact, the more people experience the brilliance and the ups and downs of life, the more strongly they will feel about this song.
.And everyone in the audience is this type of person.
"I agree with what my second uncle said. I feel deeply after listening to this song. This song also evokes a lot of my thoughts. Although this song is passionate and majestic, it contains more.
The helpless feeling about fate. It seems to say that there is God's will in the dark, and all fate is destined. Even if we want to escape from this mortal world, we cannot escape at all. I don't know if what I understand is right or not."
Lin Jue secretly admired it in his heart. It must be said that Guo Mian still has a certain level of appreciation. He gave a rough idea of the meaning of the song in a few words. Although he did not fully understand it, it was still very good.
"What King Jin said is true, and the meaning of the song is roughly the same. Although it is a bit depressing, everyone's fate seems to be the same. Everyone is in this big net of the world of mortals, and they are all flying insects on this net.
I want to break free, but I have neither the courage nor the ability. So I can only struggle in this web. On the cobweb, you fight for fame and wealth, you kill me, you live and die. However, when you jump out of the cobweb, all these behaviors change.
It's ridiculous. Of course, this is just a joke on my part, and the reality may not be so pessimistic. I hope you just listen to it and don't take it seriously. It's just a piece of music." Lin Jue said with a smile.
Everyone was silent. Lin Jue's explanation should be the most authoritative explanation. He is the author of this song. However, this explanation seems to have a point. It is too explicit to say that you kill me and take it away, and you live and die.
Could it be that he is insinuating something?
"Lin Zhuangyuan is young, and he doesn't seem to be a person who has experienced so many vicissitudes of life. I am curious about what Lin Zhuangyuan has experienced. To be honest, the first impression I have of Lin Zhuangyuan is that he is deep and reserved. I always feel
I have a lot of experience. This is the meaning in this song, and it is also the same in all the poems written by Lin Zhuangyuan. It is very curious." An official laughed.
This statement is exactly the question in everyone's mind. When Lin was in his first year, he was weak and prosperous. The poems he wrote at this age must be passionate and bright. However, looking at Lin Jue's poems, most of them are filled with vicissitudes of life.
Especially today's song, it is full of a sense of helplessness and desolation, which is really strange. And this is why many people doubt that Lin Jue's poems were ghostwritten.
Everyone looked at Lin Jue, waiting for him to answer this question.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Not only is this gentleman curious, but I am also curious myself. I have also thought about this problem myself and came to a result."
Lin Jue pursed his lips and smiled and said nothing. Everyone was itching and asked: "What's the result? Why didn't you tell me?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Two sentences: Young people don't know the feeling of sorrow, so they forcefully talk about sorrow in order to compose new words."
Everyone was stunned, and immediately burst into laughter. Guo Mian burst out laughing and said: "Incisive, incisive. Lin Jue, you are so interesting. I have never seen someone who makes fun of himself so much and doesn't count his own poems and articles.
.Everyone is praising you for being young and mature, but you are talking about yourself. Don’t you think you are just pretentious? How can the world face your poems and articles? Hahaha.”
Lin Jue spread his hands and said with a smile: "Then I have nothing to do, otherwise how can I make people feel relieved? He is obviously a young person, but he writes these poems and articles. Even if I see it, I will find it strange. I can only use these two sentences.
explained."
Everyone laughed endlessly, and their favorable impression of Lin Jue greatly increased. This person did not directly answer everyone's questions, but used this self-joking method to cleverly resolve the problem, which was more powerful than refutation. In fact, everyone
Everyone understands that since he said this, how can it really be as simple as 'a young man doesn't know the feeling of sorrow, so he talks about sorrow in order to compose new words'. The fact that he can face it so tactfully shows that his mind is far more mature than his age.
There are many. This may be the reason why he was able to write those poems.
"That's all, we've convinced you. But, can you tell me what this song is called? I plan to copy it back and let others sing it and savor it carefully." Guo Mian said with a smile.
Lin Jue said: "Of course, this song is called "The Sutra That Is Hard to Recite". It means that every family has a sutra that is difficult to recite."
"Oh, that's it. It really fits the meaning of the music. And no wonder you hit it with a wooden fish, and the lyrics of the music are so fast, it really feels like you are chanting sutras. Haha, you are such a thoughtful person. We are all learning this song today.
What a feast for the ears. What’s even more difficult is that Lin Zhuangyuan sang this song for us personally. I’m afraid no one will have this honor again." Guo Mian laughed.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "It's true that I can't sing anymore, and my voice is not suitable for singing. I didn't summon the wolf, but I'm already pretty good."
Before he finished speaking, a fish jumped out of the water on the lake outside the water pavilion, and then fell into the water with a pop. Everyone laughed and said: "The wolf didn't call, but the fish was alarmed."
The banquet broke up soon after. Before leaving, Guo Mian held Lin Jue and talked for a long time, cordially inviting Lin Jue to attend the banquet organized by him. He said that all the celebrities in Chang'an would gather at his house, and he hoped that Lin Jue would also attend the banquet.
Lin Jue became a frequent visitor to his house. Naturally, Lin Jue couldn't refuse in person. In fact, this was the occasion that Lin Jue didn't want to attend the most, so he could only hum and hesitate.
What surprised Lin Jue was that Huai Wang Guo Xu somehow stayed in the mansion after everyone left. When everyone left, he turned back and stopped Lin Jue who was about to leave Shuixie, saying that he wanted to leave.
Chat with Lin Jue for a few words.
The two returned to the covered bridge above the water. Guo Xu stood beside the railing of the covered bridge and looked at the lake scenery in the distance with his hands behind his hands. Lin Jue also followed his gaze and looked away from the railing. But he saw the lake light above the northwest lake.
The color of the water is blue, and the waves reach the sky. Nearby, lotus leaves touch the sky, and the pavilions are like canopies. There are also painted boats floating in the distance on the lake. This scene actually gives Lin Jue the illusion of being in the West Lake of Hangzhou.
"Lin Zhuangyuan, but I don't know how the scenery here compares with Hangzhou?" Guo Xu's voice sounded, and Lin Jue turned his head to look. Guo Xu was looking at him with a smile.
"Your Highness Prince Huai, Hangzhou and Beijing are in different regions and have very different scenery. Each has its own beauty, but they cannot be compared." Lin Jue said with a smile.
Guo Xu chuckled and said: "Your answer is impeccable. I asked ten people in Hangzhou, and ten of them would say it was the beautiful scenery in the capital. But when I came here, I got such an answer. It's very interesting."
Lin Jue smiled and didn't answer, thinking: That's just because people don't want to cause trouble. The scenery of West Lake in Hangzhou at this time is much more beautiful than here. If nothing else, the West Lake at this time is not just these green lotus leaves.
There should be many lotus buds dotted among them. Depending on the weather, the lotus blooms earlier in Hangzhou than in Beijing, and it can be seen that the varieties of lotus here are not good.
"I have been to Hangzhou, and the scenery there is much more beautiful than the capital. Those people are telling lies, and I know very well in my heart." Guo Xu said with a smile.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Actually, the standards of beauty are different. Bianliang City has the beauty of Bianliang City, and Hangzhou City has the beauty of Hangzhou City. In fact, the two cannot be simply compared."
Guo Xu nodded and said: "That's right. Hangzhou City is picturesque and exquisite, just like a finely crafted landscape painting. Bianliang City has a broad and grand layout, and the emperor has his own magnanimity at his feet, just like freehand brushwork with splashed ink. It really cannot be compared simply."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Your Highness Prince Huai's metaphor is exquisite and hits the point."
Guo Xu chuckled and said: "So you and I have similar views, I'm very happy. So, am I qualified to be friends with Lin Zhuangyuan?"
Lin Jue was stunned and hurriedly raised his hands and said: "His Highness's words made Lin Jue very frightened. How can Lin Jue be friends with His Highness? Lin Jue doesn't dare."
Guo Xu smiled and said: "Lin Jue, maybe you don't understand me. I don't like to make friends. I don't have many friends, but I like them all. I don't like to be crowded with friends.
The liveliness of the world, the elegant behavior of reciting poems and painting, these things have no appeal to me. The friends I want to make must have real talents and real abilities. They are not just good at poetry and arty behavior. "
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said: "Then I am even more unqualified. Lin Jue can only do some arty poetry and songs, but the rest is useless."
"No, you have more than just this ability. I have heard about you. In fact, I noticed you last summer." Guo Xu said seriously.
"Last summer?" Lin Jue asked doubtfully.
"Yes. Last summer, after you made suggestions to exterminate the pirates, when the memorial on the success of the Liangzhe Road was sent to my father, I happened to accompany him to study in Longtu Pavilion. I read Lord Yan Zhengsu's memorial. At that time
I was shocked. The plan to suppress the bandits was so amazing that it greatly broke my understanding. I once led soldiers and horses in border towns and fought against the Liao people. I also studied the art of war in leading armies.
I know that the risk of your plan is quite high. I have deduced it many times, and only succeeded once miserably, and failed in the rest. But you succeeded the first time, which has to make me extremely impressed. From then on, I thought
I must make friends with you, because I am afraid there are not many people in the Zhou Dynasty who have such courage and leadership strategies. It is people with real abilities like you who I want to make friends with." Guo Xu said eloquently.
Lin Jue thought for a while and said: "His Royal Highness Prince Huai, you must have made a mistake. It was indeed me who proposed that plan, but it was not me who commanded the battle, but Ning Haijun's chief and deputy commander, and the young prince and others.
I didn't do anything."
Guo Xu shook his head and said with a smile: "Lin Jue, why are you doing this? If you don't want to make friends with me, that's okay, why bother telling lies. In addition to reporting victory memorials, Mr. Yan also wrote detailed battle reports on the war against bandits.
I also saw the battle report, so I know that you cooperated inside and outside, causing chaos in the bandits' nest, and allowing the officers and soldiers to land on the island. The key to the war lies in advance planning and resolute execution. Master Yan's battle report said,
They thought they had failed for a while, and when the center of the hurricane arrived, they had already decided to retreat. But in the end, it was you who turned the tide. Mr. Yan never told a lie, and he never praised others easily, but he was full of praise for you.
"
This was the first time Lin Jue heard about this matter. It seemed that Yan Zhengsheng should have reported everything to the emperor. Master Yan would not hide anything from the emperor, including the incident of the Queen Mother's birthday being robbed. He also reported it to the emperor secretly.
, so it is absolutely possible for him to write all the details into the battle report and submit it to the public.
"His Royal Highness Prince Huai, it was just good luck and a mistake. Thinking about it afterwards, I was very scared. If it were now, I would no longer have the courage." Lin Jue said with a smile.
"Luck? How can there be so much luck in the world? Lin Jue, I want to make friends with you, not to win you over to do something for me. Don't misunderstand me. I might as well make it clear to you. I'm big
There are too few talents in Zhou Yu to lead the army in combat. I just want to make a group of like-minded people to jointly study some strategic matters in leading the army in combat. I am very worried about the current situation of my great Zhou Dynasty. You are a knowledgeable person.
, don’t you think that I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, put too much emphasis on literature over martial arts? Nowadays, singing and dancing, poems and poems are everywhere. You can become an official by relying on these, but can you defend yourself against the enemy? Write a poem or a poem.
How is it possible to prevent the eager barbarians from invading?" Guo Xu said loudly, waving his hands.
Lin Jue felt a sense of admiration for Guo Xu. What he said was very insightful. This was the biggest hidden danger of the Zhou Dynasty. It was rare for the second prince to realize this. It seemed that this man was a
Someone with some ideas.
"Look at the generals who led the army in the Zhou Dynasty. Most of them were civil servants. They couldn't even ride a horse or lift a sword. Can such generals win the battle? When I was leading the army in the border town, Liao
People invaded the border many times without any reason, harassed my people, looted without restraint, and did not take our soldiers and horses of the Zhou Dynasty into consideration at all. Why? Because they know that we have no fighting ability. Our soldiers and horses have fought with them,
They lost every time they fought, so they all huddled in the city and watched them plunder the people. Those civil servants who led the army had no ability to lead the army at all, how could they be expected? In view of this, I treat people like you
Take a good look." Guo Xu continued in a deep voice.
Lin Jue pondered and said: "As His Royal Highness the King of Huai, knowing so many shortcomings, why not ask the court to make changes? Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be of no use."
Guo Xu laughed and said: "Lin Jue, although I am a prince, I cannot talk too much about important matters of government. After all, it is inconsistent with my status. If I talk too much, people will criticize me."
Lin Jue nodded slightly. Guo Xu's words were cryptic, but Lin Jue could understand what he meant. It is true that as a prince, he has the convenience of giving advice and can also give some suggestions. But it will inevitably give people the feeling of being eager to ascend.
Guo Xu had the desire to seize the throne, so he should be more careful with his words and deeds to avoid causing dissatisfaction with the current emperor and courtiers, otherwise it would be detrimental to major events. Moreover, the matter of emphasizing civility over military affairs was decided by the great Zhou Dynasty.
National policies will not be changed easily. His complaints may only be expressed in private.
"Your Highness, why don't you speak to Prime Minister Lu? There's no telling if the situation may change after Prime Minister Lu speaks." Lin Jue said softly.
"Haha, grandpa? He is an old man... well, he doesn't mention these things in front of the old man. I once only mentioned a few words lightly, and he lectured me for half an hour and said a lot. So.
, he couldn't even mention this matter in front of the old man. In fact, I don't want to change anything, I just want to gather a group of young people who know the art of war and strategy together. We can discuss strategies to defend against the enemy on weekdays. If the court needs it,
At that time, I can also recommend these people to the court to serve the country and show their talents. Lin Jue, please don’t misunderstand that I am forming a clique. I have no such idea. It’s okay if you don’t want to join.
I don’t force others to make things difficult for me. It’s just that we can make friends and it won’t do you any harm, right?”
Although the conversation lasted just a moment, Lin Jue's impression of Guo Xu deepened a lot. He didn't know what kind of person Guo Xu was for the moment, but this man's palace was obviously much deeper than that of King Jin. And if just now
If his dissatisfaction with the imperial court's emphasis on culture over military affairs was his true opinion, then Guo Xu was actually quite knowledgeable.
However, the soldiers and horses of the Zhou Dynasty were not strong in combat, and the generals did not know the soldiers, and the soldiers did not know the generals. The shortcomings were not only due to the emphasis on military force and the neglect of literature, but also the shortcomings of the court's organizational structure. In order to ensure the stability of the country, the court separated the mobilization of soldiers and horses from the command authority.
This is also one of the major reasons for the decline in combat effectiveness. In short, it cannot be reversed by simply changing the concept of emphasizing civility over military affairs.
Moreover, Lin Jue also smelled something unusual from Guo Xu's words. Guo Xu wanted to gather a group of young people to lead the war. Although he explained the reason, he always gave people an uncomfortable feeling.
The feeling of freedom seems to have the flavor of some conspiracy. A group of talents who can lead the war have gathered around. What is this for? The establishment of this kind of private group is obviously against the rules, giving people the feeling that Guo Xu wants to make a big difference.
.
Lin Jue will never join this small group. He doesn't want to fall into the camp of two princes competing for the heir so quickly. At present, there is no sign of the establishment of a prince. Lin Jue's memory is that of the previous life.
It was only in the ninth year after time travel that the imperial court began to put this matter on the agenda. After several years of quarrels and mutual calculations between the two factions, the result was achieved. Therefore, it is too early to take sides at this moment.
"Your Highness, of course Lin Jue is willing to make friends with you. But your Highness really thinks highly of Lin Jue. Lin Jue only knows the basics of the art of war, and his plan to annihilate the pirates is really just a matter of luck. Moreover, I personally don't like leading the army in battle.
I don’t have much interest in the matter. I only know how to write and write. If His Highness the King of Huai needs someone to talk about poetry and lyrics, Lin Jue will be at your call. If you talk about military strategies, I won’t make a fool of myself. It’s not me.
I don’t know how to praise, I’m really out of my ability, it’s just my interest. I’m very sorry.”
Guo Xu's face changed slightly. He didn't expect Lin Jue to resolutely refuse. He was stunned for a moment, then regained his smile and said: "I see, it doesn't matter. I said, I will never force anyone to do anything. However, you and I can still make friends.
What?"
Lin Jue nodded and smiled: "Lin Jue is extremely honored."
Guo Xu said with a smile: "That's good. I think you are just like my imperial brother who looks down on me because I don't like poetry. That's all. It's time for me to go back. You see, my second uncle doesn't trust you and me.
We are together, and I have sent people to watch from the shore. I am afraid that you, a coquettish guest of the royal palace, may be led astray by me, the Prince of Huai."
Lin Jue turned around and saw that on the covered bridge pier on the shore, Guo Kun and a dozen guards were standing there looking away from a distance. This is not something difficult to understand. King Liang and Lu Zhongtian are at odds with each other.
, the second prince is Lu Zhongtian's nephew, so naturally he is not welcome. This prince pulling Lin Jue to talk will certainly attract their attention.
"Let's go. Don't keep your uncle waiting." Guo Xu smiled and turned around and walked towards the shore. Lin Jue followed closely. After taking two steps, Guo Xu suddenly stopped: "By the way, there is
I almost forgot about it. I came here to apologize to you and sister Caiwei today. It's not good to bother her now. How about I apologize to you and you can convey my apology to Caiwei later."
Lin Jue asked strangely: "Apologise? Why is that?"
Guo Xu smiled and said: "It's about my uncle. I heard that a month ago, at the Daxiangguo temple meeting, my uncle offended you and there was some conflict. After learning about this, grandpa beat him severely
I scolded my uncle, and when I found out, I also scolded him and asked him to come and apologize to you. But he was thin-skinned and a little shy. So I thought, my nephew would do it for him. My uncle is also a father, and it is his responsibility.
The nephew can also bear the burden. I would like to apologize to you and Caiwei on his behalf. I hope you won't care about this matter. We are all family members, so don't hurt our feelings."
Lin Jue suddenly understood and laughed and said: "It turns out that this is the matter. Your Highness didn't mention it, so I forgot about it. It was just a misunderstanding. Speaking of which, I also had something wrong. Well, I even attacked Lu Yanei at that time.
It’s… it’s really unbecoming.”
Guo Xu laughed loudly and nodded: "You are really an interesting person. I still don't believe that you are a scholar. A scholar would not do the things you did. That's all, let's talk about it later. I'm leaving
Already."
Guo Xu moved like the wind, striding away from Lin Jue and landing on the shore. The guards who came to protect him stepped forward and surrounded him and left quickly.
