Chapter 185: The Caged Bird
King Teng smiled and arched his hand and said: "You are wrong to love, this king is deeply grateful, and I don't want everyone to express any gratitude to this king, I just ask you to fulfill your duties, work diligently and love the people, and always keep my great Song Dynasty Jiangshan Sheji inheritance for thousands of years, then this king will be safe and happy." ”
As soon as this high-sounding sentence came out, it immediately won the applause of the whole house, and everyone raised their fingers and praised His Royal Highness King Teng for his love for the people, which is really a rare virtuous king from ancient times to the present.
Su Jin also stretched out his thumb and coaxed, although he really wanted to flip his big finger upwards and face down, but this is not the time for him to show his arrogance.
King Teng pressed down with both hands, stopped everyone's praise, and said with a smile: "Today is leisure, the king has arranged a few small programs, so that you can also slow down your mind, after the morning tea, the stage was set up in the west garden of the palace, the king invited the red singer of Bianliang City to sing some words and play some miscellaneous dramas to amuse you, you can have ears and eyes today, who are you invited by the king?" ”
The crowd craned their necks and said, "Who is it?" ”
King Teng smiled but didn't answer, only picked up the blue and white cup that had rained over the sky and pouted and blew gently, until the blue water in the teacup was churning, and the tea buds were tumbling up and down.
"Isn't it...... Isn't that Master Chen? The black-bearded middle-aged man asked in a trembling voice.
As soon as everyone heard the name of Master Chen, they immediately exploded, and they all looked at King Teng with expectant eyes.
King Teng laughed, put down the teacup, pointed to the middle-aged black-bearded official and said: "Or Lord Hao will guess, and if you guess, you will be successful, I think Lord Hao must be a veteran on the Fengyue field." ”
Everyone laughed, and Lord Hao blushed and said humbly: "It's not as good as the prince, it's not as good as the prince." ”
Tang Jie smiled and pointed at Lord Hao with a fan: "Hao Tongzhi, do you mean that your intelligence is not as good as that of the prince, or that you are not as good as the prince on the Fengyue field?" ”
Hao Tongzhi blushed and said, "It's not comparable, it's not comparable." ”
Everyone burst into laughter, and King Teng's tears came out, and he pointed at Tang Jie's nose and said: "Lord Tang is a bully, and Lord Tongzhi must be a little bit of your idleness in the yamen on weekdays." ”
Tang Jie said seriously: "Lord Wang, this has wronged me, I and Lord Hao are officials in the same office, and we treat each other like brothers on weekdays, so you can't talk nonsense." ”
One person interjected: "Lord Tang and Lord Hao are afraid that they are raising their eyebrows." ”
The crowd burst into laughter again. Before the laughter stopped, Ying Tianti learned from Si Luotong and asked, "Did the prince really invite that Master Chen?" ”
King Teng smiled: "What? Won't she give this king such a thin noodle? ”
Luo Daodao: "No, no, no, it was her honor for the prince to invite her, but the lower officials heard that this Master Chen is over thirty years old, and he has a hot fight with Liu Qiqing, who wrote the lyrics, and has long ceased to sing and act at the request of others recently, this time it is an exception for the prince." ”
King Teng smiled and said, "She shouldn't be called, what will she use to feed that Mr. Three Changes?" Liu Sanchangte didn't grow up, but the master of the word world asked a few prostitutes to support him, and he lost the face of the world. ”
Tang Jie echoed: "That is, I have lost the face of the world's scholars, but I am pretentious and complacent, and I don't know how to swallow three meals a day." ”
Everyone's tone naturally followed these two key figures, and after a while, Liu Yong's body was completely degraded, Su Jin looked at a generation of literary masters, and the unruly celebrities turned into a green hat king, eating soft rice, spineless, and shameless in a blink of an eye, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, everyone was golden, this group of people was really vicious, Liu Yongshang, who was thousands of miles away in Bianliang City, didn't know that there was already a group of people in Yingtianfu who scolded him for drenching his dog's blood, and he must have sneezed a lot of baskets.
King Teng waved his hand to stop everyone's sarcasm and contempt and said: "Let's not talk about Liu Sanchang, the mud can't support the wall, when it comes to lyrics, my Da Song is not short of him, there are countless talented people in Da Song, for example, there is a talent here among the people present, and his word book Wang thinks that it is better than Liu Sanchang."
Everyone was surprised to look around, to be able to get such a high evaluation from King Teng, it seems that this person is not trivial, there are a few officials who like to tinker with poetry on weekdays, and have also dedicated a message to King Teng for a purpose, and involuntarily thought: Is His Royal Highness King Teng talking about me? Have I reached such a high level of lyricism?
Teng King Zhao Zongdan continued: "In today's performance, this king personally composed a new song for his lyrics, and later ordered Master Chen to sing it for you to enjoy. ”
Out of Tang Jie, everyone's eyes were already wide in surprise, this person has such a big face, His Royal Highness personally composed the music, which can be said to be highly respected, and curiosity prompted them to ask: "I don't know which one Your Highness is talking about?" ”
King Teng smiled: "There are only more than 20 people in the hall, do you guess?" There's a reward for guessing. ”
Everyone speculated: "Is it Lord Tang?" Lord Tang's Huanxi sand is popular, and it can be called a masterpiece, 'I don't hear the letter of the wild goose on the sand, and I listen to the partridge cry between the bamboos.'" 'The artistic conception and charm have been perfected. ”
King Teng smiled: "Although Lord Tang's words are good, they are not him. ”
"Is it Lord Guo?" Lang is strong, and concubines are strong. The oil wall car is light and the horse is sloppy, and the meeting is Jiulisong's lingering sympathy for the concubine. ”
Master Guo of the Criminal Division hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't make fun of me, I know that I can't make a face for words, but it's just graffiti." ”
King Teng said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Lord Guo looked mighty, and he was very careless when he wrote words. ”
Master Guo smiled: "The prince smiled. When King Teng said this, he excluded Lord Guo.
Everyone guessed and guessed the officials, King Teng just smiled and shook his head, and said with his hands: "There are only more than 20 adults on the seat, and I can't guess it all over again, this is really difficult for me to wait." ”
King Teng smiled and said: "You guys, there is no one in your eyes, obviously there is a young talent here, you just turn a blind eye, don't you hear that Jun is outstanding and basil, and the talent is a young man?" What this king is talking about is this Su Jin Su Gongzi. ”
Everyone turned their heads to Su Jin in surprise, Su Jin already knew that King Teng was talking about himself, and when he saw that everyone guessed and came up with some terrible words to prove it, he was already bored, and looked at a pair of canaries in the two birdcages under the hall and looked at each other across the cage, chirping to each other non-stop, thinking about why this King Teng didn't put this pair of male and female birds in a cage, it was a good thing for adults, and suddenly felt that everyone's eyes were shooting towards him, and he was startled.
King Teng walked to Su Jin's side with a smile, took his sleeve and said: "What this king said is this genius, you must not believe it, but I have read his lyrics with Lord Tang, and I am shocked that the heavens have done it. ”
Although everyone verbally said that the prince's vision would not be wrong, the doubt in their eyes exposed their hearts, of course Su Jin would not be stupid enough to prove anything to them, and hugged his fists and said: "The prince is wrong to love, how dare he be." ”
Zhao Zongdan said with a smile: "Afford it, afford it, does Su Gongzi think this kind of scene is boring?" ”
Su Jin said: "How can the prince start with this. ”
Zhao Zongdan said: "I saw you staring at the birdcage in front of the corridor, and I think the topic here can't arouse Su Gongzi's interest." ”
"Su Gongzi is only eight years tall and rich in poetry and books, so naturally he will not be in the same stream as me." Tang Jie's yin and yang weird way.
Everyone looked at Su Jin with contempt, and Su Jin was sure that as long as Zhao Zongdan added another sentence that was unfavorable to him, he would be the second Liu Sanchang today, and he would be stepped into the mud in an instant, and then stepped on one foot.
"The prince forgives the sin, I am indeed a little distracted below, I am just thinking about it, these two canaries are a male and a female, why don't they be raised in cages, isn't this a beautiful thing?"
Zhao Zongdan laughed and said: "It turns out that Su Gongzi is thinking about this, no wonder, Su Gongzi is young, only sixteen years old, and he can't help but be more interested in flowers, plants, birds and beasts than in people; Let me tell you why the king kept these two birds in separate cages. ”
Zhao Zongdan walked to the porch with his hand, stretched in with a bamboo stick and played with the small beak of the finch, and said: "The canary is not only delicate and cute, but also the cry is tactful and pleasant, if they are combined in a cage, it is a beautiful thing, but after everything goes well, the bird does not like to call, after separation, it is tortured by lovesickness, this pair of birds look at each other all day long and can not get together, the natural hoof sound is like blood, tactful and sad, the king can also make the best use of things, you can appreciate their posture, you can also appreciate their cry, isn't it the best of both worlds?" ”
"The prince is a good way, I said that the two birds in my house are always like dumb, it turns out that this is the reason, and they will be fed separately after returning to the house today." One official gave a heartfelt compliment.
Su Jin's heart tightened for a while, this Zhao Zongdan is really not a thing, the perverted viciousness in his heart can be seen from this, a pair of birds have to put so much effort into it, squeeze out the value of their bodies, and make the best use of it in the name of it, its cruelty is outrageous.
Birds and beasts also have joys and sorrows, and the beasts save people, Su Jin fully believes that in the eyes of His Royal Highness King Teng, everything comes from utilitarianism, and this is true for birds and beasts, and I am afraid that this is also true for people.
