Chapter 502 Nioh also understands poetry? A haiku shocked the whole audience!62
00】
Matsudaira Harugaku's sudden speech not only stunned Tenzouin, but also Tokugawa Iemo, Aoto... everyone.
Tokugawa Iemo reacted quickly.
He looked displeased and reprimanded sharply:
"Chunyue, this is just a game! It is based on the principle of voluntariness! How can you force others, and you also force Ootai to write poems!"
Faced with Tokugawa Iemo's rebuke, Matsudaira Harugaku not only failed to reflect on himself, but instead acted like an old god was here.
"Sir General, I am just curious."
"According to legend, Her Highness Tianzhangyuan is a talented woman who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting."
"It is rare to have a cloth banquet in the beautiful scenery today, so I would like to take this opportunity to have a glimpse of its elegance."
After that, Matsudaira Chunyue faced Tianzhang Academy again and said word by word with a sincere expression, a sincere tone, and a loud voice:
"Your Highness, if you achieve fruitful results, please let us appreciate them!"
Tianzhangyuan looked at Songping Chunyue with calm eyes.
Her expression, demeanor, everything remained unchanged.
But... Qingdeng, with his superior vision of "Fire Eye + 5", could clearly see: Tianzhangyuan tightly squeezed the brush in his hand with subtle and subtle movements.
Tianzhangyuan is a talented woman, Tianzhangyuan is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting... These nonsense are just rumors without any basis.
For ordinary people, Tenjoin, which has legendary experiences and the filter of "Princess of Satsuma Domain and Grand Odaisho of the Shogunate", is an excellent "creative material".
Ever since, all kinds of random settings and events have been thrown over Tianzhang Yuan's head.
Why is His Royal Highness Tianzhangyuan such a ruthless person who "mounts his horse to attack Kuang Hu, and dismounts his horse to draft a military letter"?
Her Highness Tianzhangyuan is such a lustful and dissatisfied woman.
Why does His Highness Tianzhangyuan call young and handsome men to his room every day?
Anyone who has come into contact with Tianzhangyuan, anyone who knows a little bit about Tianzhangyuan, knows that she has absolutely no connection with elegant things such as chess, calligraphy and painting.
As the "political president", Matsudaira Chunyue cannot possibly not know the details of Tianzhangyuan.
He knew that Tianzhangyuan didn't know how to write poetry, but he pretended to be innocent and half-forced her to show her works.
Obviously, he did this on purpose.
The purpose of this move... is clear at a glance.
As the leader of the "Ichitsubashi Sect" who was tit for tat with the "Nanki Sect", Matsudaira Harugaku did not dare to openly find fault with Tokugawa Iemo, but he still had the guts to humiliate Tenjoin in public, and it was quite big.
All of a sudden, the "Ichihashi faction" who were sitting opposite Aisho and Katsurin Taro turned their heads sideways and whispered to their colleagues around them.
As expected of a high-ranking official of the day who often conspired, his ability to whisper was top-notch.
Even Qingden, who has the talent "Perception of Wind +1", could hardly hear what they were saying.
"Oh, Tianzhang Academy is going to be embarrassed."
"Matsuhira-sama, well done."
"Hahaha, I don't know how Tianzhangyuan will step down this time?"
"How else can I step down? Apart from admitting that I can't write poetry, or using the excuse that I'm not in good condition today, what else can I do?"
…
Listening to the cynicism of these people, Qingden slowly lowered his eyelids, and dark clouds gathered on his face.
The person whose expression also became ugly was Tokugawa Iemo.
As a monarch who "succeeded from a foreign domain", after Tokugawa Iemo came from the distant Kishu Domain to Edo, a place he was unfamiliar with, the first ally he met was Tenjoin.
Without the strong support of Tianzhang Academy, his current situation would probably be even more difficult.
For Tokugawa Iemo, Tenzouin was not only his comrade-in-arms, but also his pillar of support.
Even though they were only mother and son in name only, and even though they were only 10 years apart in age, he had always regarded Tianzhangyuan as his biological mother.
His mother was humiliated...how could he maintain himself?
Just when Tokugawa Iemo opened his mouth with an angry face and was about to say something——
"Chunyue, that's enough."
Suddenly, the most unexpected person... Hitotsubashi Yoshiki spoke.
"His Royal Highness Tianzhangyuan is still carving flowers and leaves. Your urging will affect His Highness's performance and creation."
After saying that, he put down the brush in his hand with a "click" sound.
Seeing this, Matsudaira Chunyue asked quickly and hurriedly:
"Master Hitotsubashi, is this... your work finished?"
Hitotsubashi nodded happily.
"I just managed to finish a haiku."
Matsudaira Harugaku asked:
"Can you let us have a look?"
Hitotsubashi nodded again happily.
The vast majority of people...especially the "Hitobashi faction" immediately turned their attention to Hitotsubashi Kei.
Kazuhashi Keixi raised the poem paper in his hand with an indifferent expression and said loudly:
"The world is full of hustle and bustle"
"The plum blossoms fade away silently"
“Relatively momentary”
…
The banquet hall was quiet again.
Compared to the moment when He Gong recited her works just now, the silence this time lasted longer.
Although the duration of the silence is slightly different, what happens after the silence is the same.
"Everyone in the world is shouting...the relative moment is short...what a great work!"
"You are worthy of Mr. Hitotsubashi! Not only his martial arts skills are outstanding, but his literary talents are also extraordinary!"
"Oh, this makes me more and more embarrassed to show my works."
…
All kinds of rainbow farts again.
However, it is undeniable that their praise is not without purpose.
This haiku written by Hitotsubashi Kei is indeed wonderful.
Even He Gong, who had been so praised just now, was compared to him.
Haiku is the most important thing about artistic conception.
All haiku poets from ancient times to the present have been striving to express the most beautiful artistic conception and convey the richest emotions with the most refined words.
The typical representative is the eternal masterpiece "Old Pond" by Matsuo Basho, who is known as the "Saint of Haiku": "Old Pond, Frog Flying, Water Sound" (By the side of the ancient pond, a frog jumps through the mirror, and the sound of the water is heard.
(a loud noise)
If you look at it casually, you may think that the sentences in "Guchi" are simple and plain, even superficial and tasteless. If you think about it carefully, you can appreciate its subtle and profound meaning.
Three sentences, three objects, at this moment, movement and stillness, silence and sound, are seamlessly combined together, or in other words, movement and stillness, silence and sound have completed several transfers outside of time.
The artistic conception of "quietness" and "elegance" is vividly displayed on the paper.
This work by Hitotsubashi Keiki does not have a superior visual sense, but it has a very good artistic conception.
Plum blossoms only bloom in winter.
When winter passes, even the proud plum blossoms will only wither.
In this turbulent and short world, the time we spend together only lasts a moment.
This sad tone that evokes emotions is exactly in line with the most beloved and favored aesthetics of the Japanese: "monoai", that is, "the true expression of true feelings."
When people's hearts come into contact with the external world, they will feel emotions when they touch the scene and feel the things. The heart will be moved and touched. At this time, the emotions that naturally come out may be joy, anger, fear, sadness, lingering and tactful, or longing and yearning.
——This is "material sorrow".
Although this work has not yet reached the level of being praised by the world, it can indeed be regarded as a masterpiece.
Even the arrogant Wagongiya couldn't help but tilt his eyes and glanced at the bridge to celebrate.
Facing the praise from everyone, Hitotsubashi smiled modestly, and then silently put away the poem in his hand.
At this time, those malicious eyes fell back on Tianzhang Courtyard again.
People who watch the excitement without taking it too seriously are the "Hitobashi faction"... Although they didn't say anything, the looks they cast towards Tianzhangyuan already showed their true thoughts - gloating, mocking, teasing,
ridicule……
Anyone with a discerning eye can see: Keiki Hitotsubashi and Harugaku Matsudaira are clearly singing a double act, and their acting skills are not very good!
Qingdeng dared to conclude that these two guys definitely colluded in advance!
One is the first to find trouble with Tianzhang Yuan.
The other person pretended to smooth things over, but actually made Tianzhang Court more embarrassed.
With a bridge of joyful pearls in front of her, if she showed her empty poems and notes, she would be even more embarrassed, and the reputation of the "Nanji School" would also be hit.
If nothing else happens, by tomorrow, rumors like this will spread among the people in Edo: "Hitohashi Keiki wrote a well-known masterpiece at the banquet, but Tenjoin Atsuhime could not write even a word."
.
That's what partisanship is.
They compete not only for power, but also for face.
In other words, in the cruel officialdom, power and face are occasionally equated.
The leader Keiki Hitotsubashi has made a huge splash in the limelight... and everyone in the "Topsubashi faction" is proud of this.
The struggle for power between the "Nanki Sect" and the "Ichitsubashi Sect" has long entered a fierce stage.
Naturally, the "Ichitsubashi Sect" will not miss this opportunity to disgust the "Nanki Sect".
As a result, they all cast mocking glances at their political opponents sitting opposite them.
Faced with the provocation of the "Ichibashi Sect", the "Nanji Sect" naturally felt deeply dissatisfied.
"Victory sir, victory sir."
The official sitting on the right hand side of Katsu Rintaro - the person sitting on the left hand side of Katsu Rintaro is Aoto - lightly poked Katsu Rintaro in the side with his elbow and said softly:
"Sir Sheng, can you compose poetry?"
Katsurin Taro sighed helplessly, with a bitter look on his face:
"Sir Uehara, if you ask me to measure the flight trajectory of cannonballs and calculate the sailing speed of battleships, I will make up my mind. But if you ask me to write poetry...but please let me go."
In modern terms, Rintaro Katsu is a pure science and engineering man.
He has studied Orchid assiduously since he was young.
Not to mention writing poetry, I'm afraid he hasn't even read the "Man'yoshu".
At this time, a certain Nanki faction official - his name was Makino Masakuni - took a deep breath and showed a determined expression as if he was about to go to the battlefield.
"Then...I'll show my shame!"
After that, he cleared his throat vigorously:
"Plum blossoms, plum blossoms."
"Wow, wow, plum blossoms, plum blossoms."
"Plum blossoms, plum blossoms."
Makino Masakuni did not recite this poem, but as soon as he recited it... it immediately caused the "Hitobashi School" to burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! Makino-sama, a work like this cannot be called a haiku!"
"Makino-sama, are you trying to imitate Taharabo's "Matsushima"?"
"Makino-sama, Haiku must follow the format of 'five-seven-five'!"
…
"Matsushima" is a haiku poem written by the ecstatic singer Taharabo: "Matsushima や, ああ 松岛 や, 松岛 や" (Matsushima, ah, Matsushima, Matsushima)
This work was once misunderstood to be written by the Japanese wandering saint Matsuo Basho, but it was actually a misinformation.
Makino Masakuni, who was scolded into silence, scratched his hair and lowered his head with a blushing face.
Makino Masakuni's unlucky start made the "Ichitsubashi Sect" even more arrogant.
The situation developed in an orderly manner according to the script he had drafted. Such a good form made the corners of Matsudaira Chunyue's lips curl up with pride.
He stretched out his letter like a poisonous snake, licked his lips, and pursued the victory:
"Your Highness Tianzhangyuan, I don't know about your works..."
"Chunyue!"
Tokugawa Iemo interrupted Matsudaira Harugaku with an angry look on his face.
He didn't expect that a simple banquet game would be used by Hitotsubashi Keiki and Matsudaira Harugaku.
He gritted his teeth, trying to angrily scold Matsudaira Chunue.
However, just as he was about to speak, a delicate hand stopped him in front of his eyes.
"Mother, mother...?"
Tokugawa Iemo stared blankly at Tenzouin who stopped him.
Tianzhangin smiled slightly and said softly at a volume that only she and Tokugawa Iemo could hear clearly:
"Jia Mao, please be patient."
Hearing what Tenzouin said, Tokugawa Iemo seemed to realize something, and slowly suppressed the anger on his face.
The body that was originally leaning forward slightly due to emotion gradually returned to the upright posture of sitting upright.
However, although the anger in his cheeks faded away, it was replaced by strong anger and depression.
Although everyone here knew that Hitotsubashi Keiki and Matsudaira Harugaku were deliberately looking for trouble, at least on the surface, Tokugawa Iemo did not have sufficient reasons to support him in scolding each other.
If Tokugawa Iemo gets angry in public, it will play into the opponent's hands.
However, it was clear that Mingzhang Yuan had already intended to give in, but Songping Chunyue refused to give in.
"Sir General, I just hope that His Highness Tianzhangyuan can display her works confidently and generously. I have no other intention."
"If His Highness Tianzhangyuan is not confident in his own work, or if he has nothing to lose from paper to pen, then naturally I will not force others to do anything difficult."
This is no longer a sneak peek at the yin and yang, but a direct slap in the face.
The "Ichitabashi faction" became increasingly complacent due to the strength of Matsudaira Harugaku.
The "Nanji Sect" was deeply angry and angry, but they had no choice but to do anything.
…
…
Since just now, Qingdeng's eyes have not left Tianzhangyuan's body.
At first glance, Tianzhang Academy looked unmoved by this sudden change.
Even though she was humiliated in public, she still showed an impeccable and gentle smile.
But... maybe it was because Qingdeng was familiar with the other party, but he couldn't find any smile on this beautiful face.
He only saw a pair of cold little hands squeezing the blouse on his legs with subtle movements that were almost imperceptible.
"...Rintaro."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Lend me your ink."
"Huh?"
Before Katsurintaro could respond, Aomori took the inkstone from him.
Pick up the pen, dip it in ink, and the pen will move like a dragon or a snake.
Qingdeng wrote something on his poem paper in one breath.
…
…
Tianzhangyuan lifted and stretched the facial muscles with ease.
No matter how wronged he was, no matter how unfair he was, he could skillfully and naturally smile appropriately - this was the first skill Tianzhangin developed after marrying into the shogunate.
She slowly moved her gaze.
Watching the Ichibashi celebration with a cold eye, the complacent Matsudaira Chunaku, the arrogant "Ichibashi faction", the court ministers watching from the sidelines... Her eyes passed over the faces of these people one by one.
"It's like this again..."
She murmured in her mouth, her voice sounding like a mosquito.
Somehow, the images and sentences buried deep in her mind flashed before her eyes again and echoed in her ears.
…
(Yu Yi, your mission is very simple: marry into the shogunate, enter the Great Olympus, and use all means to promote Hitotsubashi Kexi to the position.)
…
(The princess is really pitiful. The feudal lord clearly knew that the Tokugawa clan was dead, but he still forced the princess to marry him... It is really pitiful to be widowed at such a young age.)
…
(Beware of Tenjoin. Although she has repeatedly insisted that she has severed ties with the Satsuma Domain, the possibility that she is a spy for the Satsuma Domain cannot be ruled out.)
…
(Your Highness, please forgive me, you are just a woman, so what qualifications do you have to make irresponsible remarks on state affairs?)
…
Everything he had experienced in the past gradually merged with the scene before his eyes.
Tianzhangyuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a hint of self-mockery.
At this moment——
"Everyone!"
A loud male voice suddenly sounded, overwhelming all the movement in the surroundings.
In an instant, the owner of this male voice... Qingdeng became the center of attention.
Doubt, curiosity, disgust... all kinds of gazes gathered into one, pressing on Qingdeng's shoulders like a hammer.
Qingdeng calmly put down the brush in his hand and said loudly:
"Xia Qian composed a haiku, would you like to share it with us?"
"What? Haiku?"
Matsudaira Chunyue raised his eyebrows vigorously, with a look of disbelief on his face.
He wasn't the only one whose expression changed drastically.
Tokugawa Iemo, Wamiya, Katsu Rintaro, the "Ichitsubashi Sect", the imperial ministers headed by Iwakura Tomato... almost everyone, without exception, looked like they suspected that their ears had heard something wrong.
Not to mention them, even Tianzhang Yuan's eyes widened in surprise.
About 5 seconds later, Matsudaira Chunyue came back to his senses.
After looking at Qingdeng from head to toe, he chuckled a few times.
"I never expected that the dignified 'Benevolent King' could have such an elegant side."
Having said this, he paused for a moment. Then, he continued with a barbed tone:
"Master Tachibana, it seems that you are very confident in your work. Then, please allow us to take a look at your masterpiece!"
As soon as Matsudaira Chunyue said these words, the glances directed at Qingden gradually revealed a sense of scorn, ridicule and ridicule.
Many people tilted their heads and whispered to their colleagues beside them:
"How can Tachibana Aoden, who only knows how to fight, know how to write haiku?"
"Most of the haiku he wrote are on the same level as "Ah, plum blossoms, plum blossoms" written just now by Makino Masakuni."
"He probably wanted to save His Highness Tenzōin, so he hurriedly said that he had also written a haiku. Alas, why bother? If he recited a haiku like Makino Masakuni did, it would only add to the laughter.
Ear."
…
It’s no wonder that people doubt Qingdeng’s literary talents.
Can "Nioh" Tachibana Aoden write haiku?
They had never heard of such a thing before!
As a result, this ridiculous scene was born - the "Nanki Sect" and the "Ichitsubashi Sect" who were opposed to each other, and the Wagong Palace and the imperial ministers who stayed out of the matter, actually reached an agreement at this moment.
There is a consensus - Qingteng cannot write a decent masterpiece!
Perhaps he was worried that Aoto would be embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, Tokugawa Iemo couldn't help but ask Aoto in a tentative tone:
"Tachibana-kun, do you really...want to show your work?"
As soon as Tokugawa Iemo finished speaking, Tianzhangin said impatiently:
"Sheng Qing...Ji Jun! Don't be ridiculous!"
Faced with the doubts of Tokugawa Iemo and Tianzhangin, Aomori smiled calmly:
"Wouldn't it be a pity if all of you here could not appreciate the poem I finally wrote?"
After saying that, Qingdeng raised the poem paper in his hand.
In full view of everyone, he recited softly in a melodious tone:
"Mei no Ou."
"Who lives here?"
"Yu Na Lamp."
In an instant, the originally noisy banquet hall fell into silence.
The sound of wind coming from afar sounded inexplicably far away.
Hitotsubashi's face changed color, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Matsudaira Harugaku.
Matsudaira Chunyue's face was also full of horror and surprise, and he had goosebumps all over his body.
Tokugawa Iemo's expression also changed immediately.
He Miya couldn't hide the look of shock on his cheeks.
A pair of beautiful eyes in Tianzhang Courtyard were widened to the extreme, staring straight at Qingdeng.
Everyone in the room, one by one, turned their stiff necks. You look at me, I look at you.
They all found similar looks of shock on each other's faces.
The plum blossoms are so beautiful, who lives there, the secluded lamp - who's house is deep in the plum forest, the half-star light leaks faintly.
A masterpiece by Natsume Soseki (1867-1916).
Even people who have no knowledge of Japanese literature should have heard of this person's name to some extent.
Even if you have never heard of this person's name, you should have heard of the phrase that is used badly by modern and contemporary literary and artistic youth: "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight", right?
This famous saying was written by Natsume Soseki.
Natsume Soseki enjoys a high status in the history of modern Japanese literature and is known as the "National Great Writer". He has high attainments in both Eastern and Western cultures. He is an English scholar and is proficient in haiku, Chinese poetry and calligraphy.
This sentence "Whose house is deep in the plum forest? The half-star light leaks dimly" is his masterpiece.
Before everyone could get rid of the "impossible" thought in their minds, Qingdeng stood up slowly.
"Everyone, the beautiful scenery blowing across the courtyard has inspired me with endless inspiration."
"Therefore, I not only composed a haiku, but also a Chinese poem."
"Please listen carefully."
