Chapter 662 Why is Qin Huailiang laughing?
Qin Lang wore a purple robe and jade belt, and participated in this enlarged court meeting as the prime minister of the Zhengshitang. He sat there bored listening to the comments of those scholars.
He knew that the emperor's drunkard's intention was not to drink, and he also knew that the Zhengshitang had reached a tacit agreement long ago, which was to prevent the emperor from getting too hot-headed to enshrine Zen.
The emperor enshrines Zen, and the prime ministers are naturally proud of me, but everyone knows that the current situation is not enough for this qualification. If the emperor is now entrusted with Zen, not to mention that it will cost a lot of money financially, and this kind of enshrinement will only let future generations. People ridicule. They are all relatively powerful prime ministers, and they will not be in a hothead like Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, I think this should be the drum of King Wen of Zhou, and King Xuan engraved poems." Chu Liang, one of the eighteen bachelors of the former Qin Palace and now a scholar of Hongwen Museum, came to the conclusion.
He thinks that the above poem should be about King Wen of Zhou hunting in Qizhou.
Su Xu, a scholar, believes that this should be written about King Xuan of the Western Zhou Dynasty. "Li Si is the oldest person who survived the handwriting of Shi Xianyan. I don't know the traces of the history. He is close in front of him." Some meaning, it should be about hunting.
"Mr. Wei, what are you laughing at?"
Above the main hall, Zheng Yuanxuan suddenly spoke loudly, attracting everyone's attention.
It turned out that Qin Lang was sitting there laughing. The key point was that the smile seemed to be mocking. Originally, Qin Lang was laughing alone, but everyone looked over at Zheng Yuanxuan's voice. Everyone saw it.
"Why is Huailiang laughing?"
Li Shimin was a little annoyed. Originally, today's incident was just a performance. The emperor wanted to take this opportunity to let the prime ministers of the Zhengshi Hall express their views, and even support Feng Chan. As a result, the scholars discussed it there very lively, and the prime ministers didn't say a word But now Qin Lang is still smiling, this smile is still mocking, Li Shimin can't help but feel that Qin Lang is laughing at him.
"Your Majesty, my lord..." Qin Lang raised his head and saw Li Shimin's angry look. He felt bad in his heart. If Li Shimin was misunderstood, it would be very troublesome. After all, with the attitude of the Zhengshitang, Li Shimin It's almost impossible to think about Feng Chan for the first time, if things don't work out then, he will blame himself and be in trouble.
"The minister just happened to get something from this stone drum text, so he smiled happily."
"You laugh when you get something?" Li Shimin still expressed doubts. Yu Shinan, Chu Liang, Su Xu, Kong Yingda, Lu Deming and other famous scholars didn't figure it out. Did you figure it out?
Qin Lang hurriedly said seriously, "Sages should remember that I have studied oracle bone scripts before, and have worked **** ancient scripts. Although the seal script is the Zhou Dynasty script in the pre-Qin period, and it is a variant of the seal script, after all, it was born in Jin Dynasty. Bronze inscriptions are also evolved from oracle bone inscriptions, and I have also studied the more than 200 ancient inscriptions handed down before, so after careful study and thinking just now, I seem to recognize some of them."
Zheng Yuanxuan has been staring at Qin Lang, and the two of them have made too many mistakes.
"Duke Wei is joking?"
Qin Lang spent a lot of money to buy many tortoise shells and animal bones with characters. Young, Zheng Yuanxuan did not believe that he could still recognize this character.
"Why does Mr. Zheng have such an attitude? Mr. Qin has always been fond of reading and collecting ancient books. Over the years, he has bought a lot of ancient books from private collections with a lot of money, transcribed and protected them, so it is normal to have some small research gains, isn't it?"
"Then please tell us, Duke Wei, what are these stone drum inscriptions?" Zheng Yuanxuan pressed forward.
"Then let me talk about the poems on this stone drum. I am making a fool of myself. If there are any mistakes or omissions, please correct them!"
Qin Lang came to a stone drum, and he really looked like he was doing something.
This really made everyone in the hall look forward to it.
Zheng Yuanxuan sneered disdainfully there, wanting to see how Qin Lang would smooth things over.
"My car works well, my horse is the same, my car is good, and my horse is good."
Qin Lang really pointed to the inscriptions on the stone drum and began to read. As soon as the four sentences came out, the hall was quiet.
"Could it be that Duke Wei recited indiscriminately and deceived us?" Zheng Yuanxuan still did not believe that Qin Lang really understood, "If so, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"How dare Qin dare to deceive the emperor? Yu Gong, Chu Gong, Su Gong, etc. are all of you. I just need to help you to verify what I said."
Qin Lang dared to say this, and he had his own capital. Before the Tang Dynasty, only one or two hundred characters of this inscription were handed down to the world, and the rest were basically burned and banned by Qin Shihuang. However, after the unearthed stone drum inscriptions, many more inscriptions were published later. Many people have conducted in-depth research on this article.
He even studied the 籀wen specifically, and the Shiguwen is extremely important in the 籀wen, so of course he also learned it.
Because Shiguwen is a transitional character that evolved from large seal script to small seal script and has not yet been finalized. Calligraphers of all dynasties have always regarded it as an important model for practicing seal script. Those who learn calligraphy generally practice it temporarily.
“Our chariots are strong, our horses are ready, our chariots are beautiful, our horses are fat, look at the beginning of this poem, it is about the preparations for hunting!”
Zheng Yuanxuan was dubious, but Su Xu and the others had their eyes wide open.
"A gentleman hunts, and a hunter swims. The deer is fast, and the gentleman seeks. The horned bow, the bow is held. I drive its special, and it comes. □□炱炱, that is, that is. The deer come and go, and they come again. I drive them away, they come, and I shoot them alone."
Qin Lang also finished reading the latter part, and a scene of hunting by officials and officials was immediately vividly presented.
Gongqing and the doctor went hunting, and the team was mighty and the flag was flying. The deer ran in panic, and the officials were busy chasing it. The horns are decorated with bows, and the bows are ready to go. We drive away the heads of deer, and the deer rush forward hesitantly. (The herd of deer runs) The soot is flying, and there is nowhere to hide in the hunting enclosure. The deer ran away in a hurry, they staggered and hesitated. We drove out the fat deer, walked in a hurry, and hit the target with our bows and arrows.
Several calligraphers hurriedly asked the servants to bring them paper and pens, copied what Qin Lang read, and then gathered around the stone drum to compare each script.
Before Qin Lang recited it, they felt that these words were all extremely mysterious, but now after Qin Lang read it out, and they compared it again, they felt as if they suddenly understood.
Although the script is a variant of the big seal character, it is also a seal character after all, and they all know the more than 200 seal characters handed down from generation to generation. Some strokes still have some rules. After all, the characters are not like images, but there are rules of.
After such a comparison, I immediately felt that this was indeed the meaning, such as the composition of the wooden characters, such as the composition of the car characters, etc.
Su Xu slapped his thigh excitedly, and Yu Shinan began to write a comparison between Shiguwenzi and Xiaozhuan on the spot.
"I didn't expect Mr. Qin to be so knowledgeable. Please explain to us, Mr. Qin, the other nine stone drum articles. When did they record the events of the Zhou Dynasty?" Kong Deming asked.
"Let me take a closer look."
Qin Lang smiled slightly, stepped forward pretending to be deep, walked around the ten stone drums, stared left and right, pretending to study those stone drum inscriptions for a long time, finally got up amidst the expectant eyes, and saluted the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I preliminarily judged that this is a Song of Qin. Shigu poetry, through the development sequence from the establishment of Qin, the founding of the country, to the establishment of the emperor, praised the deeds of the ancestor Lie Gong and the first emperor who made great contributions to the Qin State. Not only singing the past but also praising the present, using poetry to paint a vivid historical picture of Qin people's entrepreneurship and development!"
"The stone drum poem I read just now, I originally thought it was about hunting. Earlier, Duke Yu and others also speculated that it was a hunting story about King Xuan or King Wen of Zhou, but now it seems that it should be about a certain king of Qin. Sing praises to the deeds of conquering frontiers and lands."
"This horse recommendation should be the first of the ten poems of Qin Song. According to the history of Qin, this should be about Qin Zufei's son herding horses and building Qin, and continuing the sacrifice of Ying's family. And this should be the second. It should be about Duke Xiang of Qin conferring on Marquis Shiguo, and this one should be the last one of Qin Song, talking about Qin Shihuang's unification of the world, taking the soldiers of the world, gathering them in Xianyang, and bringing about peace in the world."
Qin Lang recited one after another stone drum poems, and the group of scholars mesmerizedly wrote and copied them, and someone was there to verify what Qin Lang said about Qin Songzhi.
"Drum, Son of Heaven, Jing, Ping, Ning, Jin, these really explain the content of this drum poem, and the history of the first emperor who unified the six kingdoms, received the soldiers of the world, gathered them in Xianyang, sold them as Zhongji, and the twelve golden men Related!" Kong Yingda shouted in surprise.
And Kong Deming also immediately pointed out that in another drum poem, "The words gentleman, She, Si, boat, and Yushui are indicating the content of this drum poem and the meeting of seven hundred soldiers hunting eastward and trekking thousands of miles to Siwei." It is related to the historical deeds of Qin Wengong, the second generation prince of Qin State.
They were like guessing a riddle. When Qin Lang solved the riddle, they compared it again and found that there seemed to be reminders everywhere.
Zheng Yuanxuan's face was ugly when he saw this, and he believed in his heart that Qin Lang really understood these words.
"Your Majesty, it is really auspicious." Zheng Yuanxuan thought about it, and immediately played loudly to the emperor, "Qin Drums come out of Qin, and Qin Songs are recorded. This is the auspiciousness descended from heaven to praise the virtue of King Qin."
The virtue of the King of Qin is not only the King of Qin who was the King of Qin thousands of years ago, but also the emperor who has been the King of Qin today.
"Your Majesty, please enshrine Zen on Mount Tai to repay the merits of the gods!"
Kong Yingda excitedly said, "Historical Records, Qin Shihuang's Jiji records, in the twenty-eighth year, the first emperor visited counties and counties in the east, went to Zouyi Mountain, and erected stones. He discussed with Lu Confucian scholars about engraving stones to praise Qin De, and discussing the matter of enshrining Zen and offering sacrifices to mountains and rivers. So he went up to Mount Tai, erected stones, sealed off, and worshiped in the shrine."
When Kong Yingda said this, Li Shimin's face turned red, as if drunk!
Turning around, someone finally said what he had always wanted to say.
"Your Majesty, please visit the east, climb Mount Tai, set up stones, enshrine Zen, and offer sacrifices!" Several ministers followed closely behind, calling out loudly!
