Being ordered by the emperor to compose poems in front of him is a double-edged knife, if you perform well, you will gain fame and fortune, and if you don't perform well, you may be marginalized and it will be difficult to be reused.

For a while, Zhang Shuo became the focus of the scene, and Zheng Peng also looked at Zhang Shuo, who is known as the great master of the literary world, with great interest, to see what kind of performance he had.

Zhang said that he was ordered to be in danger and became the focus of everyone, only did he not be nervous, on the contrary, his face was calm and calm, and his eyes revealed an inexplicable confidence, as if the more pressure, the more he enjoyed.

Zhang said that as a recognized talent in the literary world, he is by no means a "wasteful" character like Zheng Peng, he was born with a big heart, the greater the pressure, the more potential, I saw him put his eyes on the carnival crowd under the light wheel, and then looked at Chang'an City, just after a little thought, he quickly saluted Li Longji: "Your Majesty, there is." ”

Li Longji said with some surprise: "Zhang Aiqing is really quick-witted, come quickly." ”

After Zhang Rui received the order, he coughed dryly and quickly groaned himself:

"The rain and dew in front of the Suzaku Gate are new, and the people in Chang'an City are peaceful.

The dragon ranks the fire tree with a thousand heavy flames, and the chicken steps on the lotus long live the spring.

The third and fifth opera spring stage of the imperial palace, the rain and wind are not jealous.

The palace lantern wheel is full of shadows, and Donghua Jinque is reopened. ”

As soon as the words fell, the audience was silent, and everyone had memories of Zhang Shuo's freshly baked masterpiece.

The structure of the poem is rigorous, the structure is ambitious, there is not only the majestic momentum of "Donghua Jinque ten thousand reopen", but also the description of the details of "the dragon rank fire tree thousand heavy flames, the chicken stepping on the lotus long live spring", the location is Chang'an City, with "rain and dew new" alludes to the wild celebration until the early morning, because there will be dew in the early morning, a poem, the people, places, time, things and the prospect of the future are all included.

The grand opening and closing of the lantern festival also take into account the grand occasion of the lantern festival, which is definitely a superb song.

When Zheng Peng heard this, he was shocked, but also sighed at Zhang Shuo's talent, he is a cow with real talent, and he can not only make a good poem in a short time, but also make his own poem in advance.

If history is not deviated, this poem depicting the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in Chang'an was written by Li Longji a few years later, when the main venue was located in the calyx building of Xingqing Palace, the original text is:

The rain and dew in front of the calyx building are new, and the people in Chang'an City are peaceful.

The dragon ranks the fire tree with a thousand heavy flames, and the chicken steps on the lotus long live the spring.

The third and fifth opera spring stage of the imperial palace, the rain and wind are not jealous.

The lantern wheel of the Western Regions is combined, and the Donghua Jinque is reopened.

Zhang said that it was written in advance, and the "Calyx Building" became "Suzaku Gate", and the "West Wheel Light Wheel" became the "Palace Light Wheel", which was appropriately changed, and no matter what, it was a very successful poem.

The emergence of Zheng Peng has brought about some butterfly effects, however, the trajectory of history has not changed much, and the author is still Zhang.

Song Jing stroked his palms and praised: "Zhang Guogong is a great talent, he really deserves to be a great master in the literary world, and this poem should be of the highest quality." ”

"In ancient times, Cao Zhi wrote poems in seven steps, and Zhang Guogong didn't need half a pillar of incense to write such a good work, which is rare."

In ancient times, there were no hours, minutes, and seconds, and the time was divided into one hour (2 hours), one quarter of an hour (15 minutes), one pillar of incense (5 minutes), and one flick of the fingers (10 seconds).

Yao Chong said to Zhang that he was a sworn enemy, and at this moment he also stroked his beard and said: "A good sentence about the reopening of Donghua Jinque, that is, Zhang Daoji can write such a heroic poem." ”

Differing political views and attacking each other, but these did not prevent Yao Chong from appreciating Zhang Shuo's poems.

Things are things, poems are poems, and Yao Chong did not erase Zhang Shuo's performance because he hated him.

Li Longji's attainments in poetry are very high, and he nodded when he heard this: "Zhang Aiqing's poem is a top-grade masterpiece, it should be rewarded, a Silla beauty should be rewarded, add fragrance to Aiqing's red sleeves, and write more and better works." ”

"Thank you, Lord Long." Zhang said that he hurriedly thanked him.

The beauty is still secondary, mainly because she used her talent to save face, which made Zhang Shuo breathe a sigh of relief.

The reward cannot be pushed, it is the glory of one's own.

After thanking him, Zhang Shuo's eyes rolled, and he quickly said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has a proposal, I don't know whether to mention it or not." ”

"Oh, what does Zhang Aiqing propose, come quickly."

Zhang Shuo glanced at Zheng Peng out of the corner of his eye, and then said with a straight face: "General Zheng is both civil and military, and has written many highly recited poems, why not let General Zheng also compose a poem to add joy to the festival." ”

For Zheng Peng, Zhang said that he couldn't tell whether he liked or hated it, and the victory in hand was given away, all thanks to Zheng Peng, however, when Zheng Peng proposed, he gave himself a chance to show his face and save face, but recently Zheng Peng's reputation is too loud, as a great master in the literary world, Zhang said, I have the heart to test Zheng Peng's success.

is the first and the second, and let's take a look at which one is better than myself.

Before Li Longji could speak, Zheng Peng hurriedly said: "Zhang Guogong, you should spare me, with your masterpiece in front, I really don't dare to get an axe." ”

There is enough limelight, and Zheng Peng doesn't want to steal the limelight from Zhang Shuo.

Song Jing also smiled and said: "Yes, I forgot that General Zheng is also a master, it is better to meet by chance, you must show your hand." ”

"It makes sense" Yao Chong also helped: "With such a beautiful scenery, you can't let Zhang Guogong be beautiful." ”

Zheng Peng repeatedly confessed: "Don't lie to the two, in fact, I am a half-ass, I can write poems all by inspiration, and when I am inspired, I write well, if I am not inspired, I can't even play limericks, so let me be spared." ”

Li Longji glanced at Gao Lishi on the side without a trace, Gao Lishi quickly replied, only to see him look Zheng Peng up and down, and suddenly shouted: "Zheng Peng, are you guilty?" ”

"Sin, what sin?" Zheng Peng was startled and hurriedly asked.

Gao Lishi snorted coldly, and then said with a cold face: "As an official of the imperial court, the face saint does not wear official uniforms, today is the Shangyuan Festival, and it is a temporary summons, even if you don't wear official uniforms, look at what you are wearing, full of fat powder, and women's red lip prints, we ask you, what do you think of this place?" ”

Turning his face is faster than turning a book, Zheng Peng opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it for a long time.

This matter can't be explained, it can't be said that Guo Ziyi didn't have to change his clothes, and Guo Ziyi didn't protect him well on the way, I don't know if I can take it out, it's definitely not a good thing for Guo Ziyi.

"I can't speak, let's tell you, this is a great crime of disrespect."

Zheng Peng's face changed suddenly, hesitated, and hurriedly pleaded: "Weichen is not thoughtful, please ask the emperor to be gracious." ”

Xiucai met a soldier, and he couldn't explain it clearly, and his status here was the lowest, that is, he was reasonable, not that he couldn't say it, but he couldn't say it, and Zheng Peng also recognized it.

Gao Lishi has a good relationship with himself, and he will definitely speak for himself if there is something, although he doesn't know why he suddenly became difficult, but Zheng Peng believes that Gao Lishi will not target him, although his face is ugly, he is not nervous.

Zhang said and smiled: "Your Majesty, the old minister believes that General Zheng is just unintentional, tonight is the Shangyuan Festival, for the sake of General Zheng making such a good lantern, it is better to give him a chance, as long as he makes a good poem, he will be forgiven." ”

Li Longji nodded: "Since there is Zhang Aiqing pleading, I will open the net, Zheng Peng, can you hear?" ”

"Wechen obeys." Zheng Peng said with a wry smile.

I slapped myself in the face and said it, but I still can't escape.

After Zheng Peng finished speaking, he began to think hard, mainly recalling the poems related to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

There are many poems on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the deepest impression on Zheng Peng is the "Fifteenth Night of the First Lunar Month" by Su Wei of the Tang Dynasty:

The fire tree and silver flowers are closed, and the iron lock of the star bridge is opened,

Thousands of lights and trees. The bright moon came one by one.

The prostitutes are all plums, and the songs are all plums.

Jin Wu can't help the night, and the jade leak is not urging.

However, this Su Wei is a person in the Shenyuan period, he was a fart ten years ago, and the person is gone, but the poem has been handed down, Zheng Peng thought about it, and finally remembered Zhang Hu.

Pregnant.

The crime of disrespect can be big or small, the small one will be finished with a few words of laughter and scolding, and it will be big enough to raid the family and exterminate the family, Zheng Peng does not dare to gamble with his own life.

After grinding a pillar for a long time, Zheng Peng pretended to say, "Your Majesty, there is." ”

After getting Li Longji's approval, Zheng Peng began to read:

"Thousands of doors are unlocked and thousands of lights are bright, and the middle of the first month moves to Beijing.

Three hundred people danced with their sleeves, and they entered the sky with words. ”

"The beginning of this poem is grand, and the momentum is extraordinary" Yao Chong said: "It's just three hundred in the third sentence, which seems a little childish, you must know that Chang'an dances to welcome the Shangyuan Festival, not to mention 30,000, if it is changed to [the city is full of people with sleeves dancing], it may be more appropriate, of course, this is just the old man's opinion, General Zheng is not strange."

Zheng Peng said respectfully: "I didn't pay attention just now, Xie Yao opened the mansion and pointed out." ”

"Hehe, General Zheng don't be surprised." Yao Chong said with a smile.

Song Jing agreed: "It's just changed two words, and the jaw couplet echoes the first couplet, and the artistic conception is even better, and the change is wonderful." ”

As a disciple of Yao Chong, Song Jing spoke out in time.

Everyone said yes again and again, but Zhang Shuo looked at Zheng Peng with some interest, with a look of appreciation in his eyes.

Young people are young and vigorous, there are many people who know how to forge ahead, but there are very few people who know how to advance and retreat, Zheng Peng's expression when he thought of the appropriate verses just now, let Zhang Shuo take it all in his eyes, and Zhang Shuo, who has read countless people, can see at a glance that Zheng Peng has thought about it, and it takes less than half a pillar of incense, but Zheng Peng dragged a pillar of incense before saying it.

dragged out the time, the beginning of the previous chapter was so domineering, but there were obvious mistakes and omissions in the middle, obviously because he didn't want to steal his limelight.

This Zheng Peng is young, but he is very good at being a man, Zhang Shuo nodded secretly to Zheng Peng.

Young people who know how to advance and retreat are likable at all times.

Everyone was not as sensitive as Zhang Shuo, but they only felt that Zhang Shuo had a shorter time and better artistic conception, and unanimously agreed that Zhang Shuo won in this silent contest.

Li Longji finally said: "It's okay, forget it, I'll be exempted from Zheng Aiqing's great disrespect, Lux, reward Zheng Aiqing with two palace lamps, let him go back and hang them." ”

"Thank you, Lord Long."

Zheng Peng breathed a sigh of relief and finally coped with this matter.
