Chapter 844 A good man has a safe life
Although Qin Lun is not yet fully familiar with Chinese characters, in order to understand Feng Langjun's new work, he worked hard and not only asked Zhang Bai to teach him word for word.
At the same time, I also recite it every day, just to be able to memorize it word for word.
Even used this article to practice calligraphy in order to be able to write it silently.
As a businessman, Qin Lun's ability to travel by sea from Great Qin to Seris cannot be attributed solely to his good luck.
Of course, good luck is also an important aspect.
Also his boldness and courage.
There is also the mentality of big speculation.
Feng Langjun’s new work made Qin Lun see the speculative value.
What he lacks now is an opportunity for speculation.
And he knew that he wouldn't have to wait long for this opportunity.
Jianye has started to get hot since May.
Sun Quan's mood became anxious because of the heat.
I don’t know if Wang Ling is too stupid or if the rumors about the bad relationship between the two are untrue.
Anyway, they were sent to the north to spread rumors and instigate a relationship between Wang Ling and Man Chong, but no news came back.
Coupled with the hidden Tibetan incident, Zhuge Zhi, Wei Wen and others did not find what they wanted.
Outside, there is the Shu Kingdom, which is on the verge of a great victory, and its momentum is like a rainbow.
These things only added to Sun Quan's impatience of being trapped in a cage.
When you are angry, you need to calm down the anger; when you are impatient, you need to relieve it.
One of Sun Quan's ways to relieve his impatience is to talk to others about gods and strangers.
After all, gods have no worries.
Even Zhang Zhao, the oldest person in the Wu Kingdom, often talked about immortal things with Emperor Sun.
Then once he was sprayed by the Cavalry Commander Yu:
They are just dead people, where are the gods from? Are you still talking so cheerfully? Everyone will die from now on...
This made the two top figures in the Wu Kingdom quite embarrassed.
Of course, it’s fun to troll people for a while, but you’ll be cremated afterwards.
So in the year when Emperor Sun ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, even Zhang Bai was included in the amnesty and was finally able to return to his hometown in Wu County.
However, Yu Fan went against the current and was exiled to Jiaozhou.
When chatting about the world, talking about gods and strangers, it is natural to find someone with extensive knowledge.
As it happens, Qin Lun has been to many places, has seen more than many people, and is also a good person.
So Sun Quan often chatted with Qin Lun.
Faced with the ministers of Wu State, Sun Quan may still be restrained and not talk too much about immortals.
But Qin Lun is different. He is from overseas and is not an official in Wu State.
In front of him, Sun Quan could talk about overseas affairs without any scruples.
Why is the emperor interested in overseas affairs?
Who isn’t a little curious yet?
Isn’t it normal to talk about overseas affairs with people from overseas?
As a qualified businessman, Qin Lun must try his best to sell whatever customers want to buy.
What’s more, this customer’s power is extraordinary.
It’s just that they talked about the fairy mountains overseas many times, and Qin Lun vaguely understood: This Emperor of Wu is probably looking for the fairy mountains overseas!
Then this year another incident happened, Zhuge Zhiwei Wen was executed. Many people in the Wu Kingdom felt that the emperor's killing was excessive.
But as an outsider, Qin Lun was more sure of what he thought.
He even boldly guessed that the two of them most likely brought Sun Quan's secret order with them.
The so-called being punished for violating the imperial edict was actually Sun Quan's secret order.
But even if Qin Lun could guess what Sun Quan was thinking, he could only bury it deeply in his heart and dare not tell anyone.
As for the Emperor Wu's pursuit of the art of immortality, the ministers of Wu State can openly oppose it.
But as an overseas businessman said it, he felt that he did not die quickly enough.
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be said.
But it is still possible to use the incident in the overseas fairy mountains to make Emperor Wu happy and take the opportunity to get more benefits.
Feng Langjun’s new work is a good source of discussion.
What’s even better is that this article is only known to a few people today, not to mention Wu, even Shu has not yet spread.
So what Qin Lun was waiting for was an opportunity to enter the palace and chat with Emperor Sun.
The opportunity came quickly.
On May 5th, the Chongwu Festival, there has always been a custom of dragon boat racing in the land of Wuyue.
Moreover, in the current state of Wu, where the boat master is the most powerful, it is natural that this custom should be valued.
Sun Quan, the great emperor of the state of Wu, came to the riverside in person to have fun with the people and watch the dragon boat race finish, feeling moved in his heart.
When I was having a banquet with the ministers, I asked everyone to compose poems and poems to harmonize with each other. I was very unhappy.
At the end of the banquet, the emperor and his ministers were all half-drunk. Sun Quan was so happy that he returned to his old ways. He even stepped down from the throne and went to everyone in person to persuade everyone to drink.
Qin Lun took advantage of his status and was able to sit in a corner and drink with the kings and ministers of Wu.
Sun Quan was already drunk and relaxed when he raised his cup in front of him. He looked at Qin Lun and asked jokingly:
“Everyone writes poems and essays today. Mr. Wang has been in Wu for a few years. Is it possible to write essays?”
Qin Lun had already raised his glass and stood up. When he heard Sun Quan’s question, he quickly replied:
“Even if we are just people from overseas, how can we compare with the talented people under His Majesty the Emperor’s rule?”
Sun Quan laughed.
“Although I can’t write any articles about it, I happened to read an article a few days ago, and I think it is a masterpiece..."
Before Qin Lun finished speaking, Sun Quan laughed again:
“Sir, since he said it is a masterpiece, it must be so, so you might as well read it and listen to it!”
The people around him also burst into laughter.
Everyone knows this foreigner, but he doesn't even know the Chinese characters. How can he know what a masterpiece is?
Qin Lun's expression remained unchanged. In fact, in the past few years, he had already understood the psychology of the Seris people.
They have very high standards and simply look down on the small countries and tribes around them. In their eyes, as an overseas person, their status is not very high.
But I am indeed qualified to do so.
So Qin Lun can face the current situation calmly.
"Haike talks about Yingzhou, Yan Tao is confused and it's hard to find a letter..."
Just this sentence at the beginning made Sun Quan sober up on the spot, his eyes widened, and the hand holding the wine glass shook, and most of the wine was poured out!
Yingzhou? !
It’s Yingzhou, right?
Did I hear that correctly?
“The people of Yue are talking about Tianmu, and the clouds and clouds may be visible.”
The first two sentences are considered to be the best ones. Some people at the banquet were already nodding secretly.
As soon as they heard the two sentences "Tianmu stretches the sky to the sky, and the five mountains cover Chicheng. The rooftop is 48,000 feet tall, and it is about to fall to the southeast." Many people took a breath and became quiet at the same time. They all listened attentively.
At the same time, they all thought in unison:
Where is Tianmu Mountain today?
I thought these two sentences were shocking enough, but I didn’t know there was another one after them:
The blue sky is vast and bottomless, and the sun and moon shine on the gold and silver platform.
Ni is the clothes, the wind is the horse, and the princes of the clouds come and go one after another.
The tiger plays the drum, the harp plays, and the luan returns to the carriage, and the immortals line up like hemp.
It’s incredible, it’s incredible!
Everyone stood up involuntarily and leaned towards Qin Lun, just to hear clearly, for fear of missing any words.
As for Sun Quan, who was standing in front of Qin Lun, the ear cup in his hand had fallen to the ground without realizing it.
Gold and silver platforms, neon as clothes, wind as horses, tigers as drums and harps, luan as chariot, the king of clouds, the person of immortals!
“Who is this Mr. Xie?”
Just when everyone thought Sun Quan was going to ask who wrote this article, he actually asked about the person in the article.
I can’t help it, I’m too excited.
With his secret request for me, he couldn't get it? When he suddenly heard that someone had seen the fairy mountain, Sun Quan was so excited that he began to tremble.
“Your Majesty, I don’t know this, but I heard that he is from Feng Langjun’s sect.”
Qin Lun honestly told the news he got from Zhang Bai.
"who?!"
“Feng Langjun.”
“Which Feng Langjun?”
“It’s Feng Langjun from the Shu Kingdom. This article was also written by Feng Langjun.”
The ministers of Wu State who were shocked by the article suddenly became extremely excited when they heard this.
Isn’t the article I just read exciting enough?
Must read an article by a Shu man!
It was Zhang Zhao, who squinted his eyes and stroked his beard and praised repeatedly:
“Excellent writing, really excellent writing! Feng Langjun is said to be the person who created a generation of writing style, and this statement is truly true!”
After hearing Zhang Zhao’s words, many people reacted.
That’s right, that’s Feng Langjun!
At any rate, he was a figure who created a generation of writing style. It is normal that we cannot compare with him.
The writing style at this time was a period of transformation that broke through the limitations of post-Han classics.
There is no strict rhythm prescribed by the later Tang Dynasty, and at the same time, many literati want to break through the shackles of Confucian classics.
The rise of Jian'an literature and the later Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove are all representatives of this.
Feng Yong's colorful and changeable articles really opened up the horizons of literati, making people feel like they have opened the door to a new world.
At such a banquet, reciting Shu people's articles and overwhelming everyone will definitely make people hate you.
But Feng Langjun...
“I look at Feng Langjun’s writings, they are like jade radiating with splendor, magnificent and touching, bold and unrestrained, elegant as a fairy, it is really heart-wrenching!”
“Otherwise, where does the name of banishing an immortal come from?”
“Hahaha, it makes sense, it makes sense!”
…
To the kings and ministers of Wu State, Feng Yong was a stranger, because no one present had seen what he looked like.
But at the same time, he is familiar, because his reputation is really not small.
More importantly, many people have received many tangible benefits from Shu in recent years.
Wool materials and brown sugar are typical representatives.
The source of these benefits can be traced back to Feng Yong.
Having talent and reputation will not only bring no harm to the state of Wu, but will also benefit everyone.
Thank you Feng Langjun for sharing your wealth, good people will have a safe life!
So many people actually have good intentions towards Feng Junhou.
It is only natural to hold Feng Langjun in high esteem at this time.
Good articles respect no national boundaries!
What's more, the Wu-Shu Alliance was at this time.
Sun Quan, on the other hand, asked Qin Lun to read it again, and then took the paper on which the palace servants wrote down the article and tasted it carefully for a while, then raised his head and looked at the ministers:
“Dear dear friends, why do I always feel that I have not finished writing this article?”
“Why don’t you finish writing?”
General Guan Da, who was far away in Longyou, asked the same question.
As the actual controller of the military affairs of the Xiaowei Mansion, General Guan Da naturally wanted to pass on the intelligence of Wu State.
But at this time, Wu State was not considered an enemy of the Han Dynasty, so its importance was not that high.
She doesn’t need to know how Zhang Xiaosi operates.
But as long as there is progress or results in this matter, she must be reported.
The attitude must be correct and the principles must be adhered to.
“It’s hard to arouse Sun Quan’s curiosity until he finishes writing!”
Zhang Xingyi gently covered her mouth with a small fan, got close to Guan Ji's ear, and explained with a chuckle:
"The following sentences: Suddenly my soul is palpitating with my soul, I am suddenly startled and sighing. I feel that I am sleeping on the mat of time, and I am missing the haze that has always been coming. Isn't it obvious that I am dreaming?"
“What if Sun Quan is really dreaming?”
The weather has started to get hotter in June.
Guan Ji's waist and narrow sleeves naturally make her feel hotter than Zhang Xingyi's loose girly outfit.
In this weather, she was too lazy to think. She just glanced at Zhang Xingyi and said, "Then what are you going to do next?"
Zhang Xingyi recognized the look in his eyes, stretched out his fan, and fanned Guan Ji:
“Sister, it’s not about what happens next, but I want to see Sun Quan’s reaction first, and then I’ll discuss it with my brother.”
General Guan Da was very satisfied with Zhang Xiaosi's crouching down appearance. She handed over the paper in her hand, nodded and said:
"That's right. This kind of thing can only be done slowly. Even if it doesn't work now, as long as he can bury an idea in his heart, it might be useful in the future."
Just like at the beginning, although Zhang Xiaosi and his own Alang failed to get engaged, a thread was finally laid. Otherwise, why would I have all the worries later?
Thinking of this, General Guan felt a hum in his heart!
Zhang Xingyi put away the paper with one hand and kept fanning the fan with the other:
"That's the truth! But I think it won't be long before I know whether Sun Quan is curious or tempted."
“Oh? Come and listen.”
Guan Ji was a little curious.
"Didn't Sun Quan threaten to capture Hefei? If our guess about him is correct, then he will definitely send a letter to my brother, using the excuse of asking about the battle formation to ask about this article."
Zhang Xingyi’s eyes shone with a cunning light, like a little fox that had just eaten.
After hearing this, Guan Ji frowned slightly:
"Sun Quan threatened to capture Hefei. In my opinion, I'm afraid it was a fraud. The art of war says: Those who are good at attacking move in the nine heavens. It also says: Soldiers are valuable and quick."
“This is because we don’t want to let the enemy know our intentions. We announce our intentions in advance like Sun Quan did. Either the enemy is weak and we are strong, and we want to intimidate the enemy and distract him from his will, or he has no intention of marching at all.”
Even if the Wei army in Guanzhong suffered a major blow, compared with the number of people deployed by the Han in Hanzhong and Longyou, in terms of numbers alone, it was still comparable, let alone Hefei.
At least one that is evenly matched cannot escape, and may even be stronger than Wu.
After all, there is no such person as Alang in Wu State.
Alang’s evaluation of the state of Wu as “more than conservative but not aggressive enough” is quite appropriate.
It is not a question of whether you are willing to make progress, but whether you have the ability to make progress.
"My little sister doesn't understand military matters. Regardless of whether he really wants to capture Hefei or not, he already has an excuse to write to my brother to ask about it."
Zhang Xingyi covered her mouth again and smiled softly, "Who told me that brother is so famous now?"
Guan Ji also smiled slightly and her eyes fell on a figure not far in front.
“This mule is good!”
Feng Junhou patted the mule in front of him, stretched out his palm, measured the mule's height, head and tail, and nodded with satisfaction.
Then he turned around and asked Zhou Lu, the "King of Ranch Lu" who was acting as the commentator:
“How many mules are there in total that can be used now?”
