Chapter 586: Donglin Heroes' Meeting
Luoxia and lonely birds fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky.
A poem by the early Tang Dynasty poet Wang Bo made the Tengwang Pavilion on the shore of the Ganjiang River famous all over the world.
The building has become a classic, and the poem has also become a classic.
Today's Tengwang Pavilion is rebuilt during the Jiajing period, when the Ministry of Shangshu Luo Qinshun wrote "Rebuilding Tengwang Pavilion" said: "Pavilion Fan seven, forty feet high, depending on the old addition." ”
The newly renovated Tengwang Pavilion, the eaves are warped, the colored pillars are painted, the palace lamp in the pavilion is hung high, the jade carving is inlaid on the wall, it is the favorite place of the dignitaries and nobles of Jiangxi Province.
Climb high and overlook the Ganjiang River, although there is no Yellow River flowing into the sea, but it is also on a higher level.
There is a restaurant in the building, which is extremely luxurious, and there is no white ding, and there are all nobles in and out.
Today, Tengwang Pavilion called people to give the whole package, closed the building for half a day, and visitors are not allowed to enter.
This move made the tourists and the people indignant, but as soon as the store said that the people of the private building, everyone did not speak, but they were full of expectations, just want to take a look at the people of the private building.
Who is the Tengwang Pavilion?
Ganzhou's great genius Tang Xianzu also!
To say that this Tang Xianzu is famous in Ganzhou, and even the entire Nanzhi has heard of his name for a long time.
The people in the countryside have never heard of Tang Jun's name, and they have also heard of the "Peony Pavilion" that made "The Legend of the West Chamber" fold and sell at a reduced price.
The beautiful scenery of the good day is the day, whose courtyard is the pleasure?
A minor tune, I don't know how many talented women and beauties have been fascinated.
Today, Tang Xianzu invested in the Tengwang Pavilion in order to entertain a few guests who had not been seen for more than ten years.
If the names of these guests get out, I'm afraid it's even more crazy than his talent.
Because, those are all famous talents and gentlemen in Donglin.
Tang Xianzu was not a member of the Donglin Party, but at the age of 34, he was promoted to the rank of sergeant, and he was the head of the official rites department. Later, because of the anger of the emperor, he was demoted to Xu Wendian, Guangdong, and was reassigned to the magistrate of Suichang County, Zhejiang, for a term of five years, and was never allowed to be promoted.
During his return to his hometown, he got acquainted with Gu Yuncheng, one of the eight gentlemen of Donglin.
That Gu Yuncheng is the younger brother of Gu Xiancheng, the monarch of Donglin, and is called the "Eight Monarchs of Donglin" together with Gao Panlong, An Xifan, Liu Yuanzhen, Qian Yiyi, Xue Fujiao and Ye Maocai.
The banquet was set up in the evening, but a guest arrived early, but it was Gao Panlong, a disciple of Gu Xiancheng, the king of Donglin and one of the eight monarchs of Donglin.
Gao is a Jinshi in the seventeenth year of Wanli, at the beginning of the pedestrian division, and later because of the impeachment of the first assistant Wang Xijue, he was demoted to the history of Jieyang in Guangdong. During this period, he became acquainted with Tang Xianzu, who was demoted to Xu Wenqu, and became a good friend. Tang Xianzu was able to be introduced into the Donglin Party, which Gao Panlong fought for before his teacher Gu Xiancheng.
Unlike Tang Xianzu, who was honest as a warden, Gao Panlong only worked as a warden for less than a month before he resigned in anger and returned to his hometown. Since then, he has been lecturing beside his teacher Gu Xiancheng for nearly 20 years. During this period, there were party insiders who kept writing to him and recommending him as an official, but the emperor ignored it.
Gao Panlong came from Wuxi this time, and on behalf of his teacher Gu Xiancheng, he met with the gentlemen who came to discuss important matters.
"Save, I'm waiting for a hard time!"
Gao Panlong's arrival made Tang Xianzu very happy, and he personally stepped forward to lead him in.
Gao Panlong laughed, but said: "A few years ago, when the Duke of Xiuwu was Caofu, he sent someone to invite Ruoshi, who promised to supervise the position of the staff of the Yamen. When I see you today, how you are a poor man, you are clearly a rich man. ”
Xiuwu Gong is Li Sancai, and Ruoshi is Tang Xianzu's number.
"Don't laugh at me, you and my family wealth are here, no one will say that I have a lot of friends....I have friends from afar, I am very happy, if I don't give my best to hospitality, won't I let my colleagues in the party say that I have slammed the door." There is no other good land in Ganzhou, and the Tengwang Pavilion on the edge of the Ganjiang River can enter the eyes of the monarchs. ”
Tang Xianzu also laughed, whether he was or Gao Panlong, he was not a poor person. Without him, how can he be a poor man if he was born as a Jinshi.
If he is really a poor man, how can he write the four masterpieces of "The Story of the Soul", "The Story of the Purple Hairpin", "The Story of Nanke" and "The Story of Handan" in the past ten years.
With no money and no rice, how can you support a writer. (Author's note: The key points are highlighted here, and you should experience it carefully, and it is best to express it.) More money and less money is a mind, just close your eyes and hit 0 more. )
"Ruoshi, you are still old-tempered, not related to the poor, not rich and noble! It doesn't matter if you don't become an official, as long as my brother does what he likes, such as writing plays, I will be happy. Do you know that your Peony Pavilion is crazy in Jiangnan..."
"In the future, if we want to say who can leave a name in history, I see that there is no one else except you Tang Ruoshi."
As the two men were talking, a white-haired old man stepped into the building under the guidance of the waiter.
"Crane Gong!"
When Tang and Gao saw this old man, they hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, even if they were about the same age, they were both juniors.
Without him, this old man is Zhao Nanxing!
Zhao Nanxing is very old, born in the second year of Wanli, the head of the household department, the official department of the meritorious Langzhong, and the civil selection of the official department. In the Jingcha Incident in the 21st year of Wanli, it was Zhao Nanxing and Gu Xiancheng who deposed all the officials with different political views in the DPRK and China, which caused a sensation in the whole world. Later, he and Gu Xiancheng were both expelled from the imperial court and joined hands to create the Donglin Party.
If Gu Xiancheng is the spiritual leader of the Donglin Party, Ye Xianggao is the political leader of the Donglin Party, and Li San is the core of the Donglin Party's think tank, then Zhao Nanxing is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Donglin Party.
This meeting in Ganzhou is Zhao Nanxing's appeal in all directions.
"Ruoshi, you and I are thousands of miles apart, and in order to cheer for you, I have to travel day and night."
Zhao Nanxing talked and laughed vigorously, and he couldn't see the slightest bit of old age. What he said was polite, and the important people in Donglin met in Ganzhou this time, and what they said to the outside world was to appreciate the "Peony Pavilion" arranged by Tang Xianzu himself and performed by the Zhejiang Haiyan Opera Troupe, so there is such a statement.
"Enjoying the drama is a small matter, but the party is a big thing." Tang Xianzu smiled slightly apologetically and said, "Mr. Yuhe, has you always been good?" Don't forget, we're the same age! ”
After hearing this, Zhao Nanxing smiled heartily: "Yes, but we are the same age." In the eyes of the world, we are both old men, but... We are old men, with ambitions for thousands of miles, and what is the age of the sixtieth birthday. Serving the country, how can there be years? ”
"Well said!"
Tang Xianzu happily clapped his hands and praised.
Gao Panlong also couldn't help nodding, as his teacher said, Yu Hegong's mentality is comparable to that of a young man, with him, there is no need to be afraid of anything.
"If there is no official and a clean body, it is better for the court not to use us, it is idle. A few years ago, I built a garden, closed my house, held books, drank and wrote songs, and judging from the current situation, it seems that I will eventually become a white head. Zhao Nanxing smiled and took Gao and Tang hands and walked to the banquet.
Tang Xianzu said in a joking tone: "People in the world compare Mr. Yu He to a dragon, who can make clouds and rain, and dare not easily disturb it, but, according to me, ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi, the current saint is not much younger than us, maybe..." ”
