Chapter 122: A White-Haired Prodigal Talent
Who of these courtesans doesn't know Liu Qi who fills in the lyrics? Seeing that he lost his soul while holding the broken pipa, the appearance of losing his soul was really distressing to see. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info put down the instruments in their hands one after another and came over to persuade them.
Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but laugh when he saw that this annoying prodigal had finally ruined the guy he was eating.
Zhang Xian, who was explaining the meaning of the words to the courtesan, sighed heavily, his face full of helplessness. Relying on slow lyrics and small songs to have an opportunity to be seen by senior officials, how difficult it is, I didn't expect to go like this again.
If you say the slow word of Qinglou, it should be said that it is **** Yu Song Taizong at this time. Emperor Taizong was proficient in music and rhythm, and often made new songs for events, and he reigned for 21 years and made countless new songs. These songs slowly spread among the people, and the courtesans and low-level folk artists filled in some slang and colloquialisms to please the guests and earn some money to make ends meet. Then the lyricist represented by Liu Sanbian sorted out these popular songs and became a new literary form that literati liked.
Zhenzong and the now reigning Zhao Zhen are also proficient in music and rhythm, but the lyrics and songs they make in the palace are far from the scale of Taizong's time, and their influence is very small.
This is how things in the world are, the source of these vulgar folk songs is the music in the palace, and the source is the emperor himself, but those who are really engaged in these cannot enter the emperor's eyes. Naturally, the palace is indispensable to laugh with the concubines and palace maids, but the lyrics and songs are subtle, and there is a solemn meaning in it. When it spreads to the people, this implication disappears. A positive statement is called enthusiasm and unrestrainedness, while a negative statement is that there is no shame and teaches the world.
Zhao Zhen naturally heard of Liu Qi's name in the palace, but looking at his words, he could only let him fill in the words honestly. Liu Sanbian is not without opportunities, but it is a pity that he is always reluctant to live in the Qinglou, and he passes by again and again.
Later generations only know that the literati are romantic, but unfortunately many officials are literati, but many literati are not officials. In this era, the requirements for officials' private morality are still very strict, and they are getting stricter and stricter, and officials who mix with women who show their heads every day will be punished. Decades later in history, the old and new party struggles, the leaders of both sides, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, are more rigid than the other, and their private lives are almost blameless. This is not accidental, because the times only allow this kind of person to come out and be the leader of Shilin, and a person like Su Shi, no matter how talented you are, you can only be degraded back and forth.
This is the cross-flow of the times, and anyone who moves against the trend of history can only be crushed to pieces.
New forces are sprouting, old ideas are about to be swept away, and although no one knows where the road is, the replacement of the old and the new is inevitable. The simplest and most powerful way for a new force to come to power is to start with personal morality. Ouyang Xiu's already begun to suppress the Buddha's Dao, and then to the upcoming more stern emphasis on Gangchang ethics, it is the two giant hammers of the new force that smash the old power. No one can stop the power of this giant hammer, and it can only direct its power to other directions.
In this season of alternation between the old and the new, Liu Sanchang's actions are incompatible with the times, and he has deeply imprinted his own shadow on this era, but he is only an insignificant small wave of the times, leaving not even a trace.
Xu Ping has been an official for more than seven years, and he has spent more than six years outside the mountains, and he has been in the capital for less than a year, and he has not been able to grasp the pulse of the times. All he relied on was prudence.
Seeing Zhang Xian, especially Liu Sanbian's embarrassment, Xu Ping didn't understand their feelings, he had never had this kind of experience, and he didn't know why they were like this. It's just a tune, so why take it so seriously?
As the master, it was not good to see them uncomfortable there, Xu Ping stepped forward and said to the two: "The two of you are so dedicated, how dare I be?" I grew up in the market, I don't understand the rhythm, I don't have to force singing. Seeing that the sun is getting stronger, we should go back to the pergola and not have to bask here. ”
Liu Sanbian sighed helplessly: "Xia Guan thinks that he knows everything about the music and rhythm of the world, and he knows everything about all kinds of musical instruments, but he doesn't want to be embarrassed in the house today." How can love be embarrassed, how can love be embarrassed! ”
Seeing that white hair had grown on Liu Sanbian's head, and tears were about to flow out of his eyes when he stood there, he felt a little sad, Xu Ping also sighed: "There is no need to force things in the world, you say this, I feel uneasy." ”
Liu Sanbian raised his head sharply and bowed his hand to Xu Ping: "To be systematized, give a few days to the lower officials, and I will definitely sing this song to be made!" To be made to break the enemy country, decades of martial arts are prosperous, nothing more than this, how can it not be sung and circulated! ”
Xu Ping was stunned for a moment, he was just forced to do his part, and he had no choice but to copy the first words to deal with the errand, and there was no idea of promoting merit. But I didn't expect Ben Liu Sanchang to think of this, it seems that it is really a serious matter, and this thing looks a little messy.
Zhang Xian on the side arched his hand: "To be made, and wait a little longer, I and Qiqing will be at least three or five days, and at most seven or eight days, there will be a suitable tune for the words to be sung!" ”
Xu Ping waved his hand: "Wait! Today, it's just that everyone gets together, and the poems create some atmosphere, and you don't have to pay attention to whether you sing or not. That's it, that's it! Let's go, let's still have a good drink together! ”
When you are about to do great things, how can you sleep on the merit book? This is because their official positions are higher than the two, and they are forced to promote themselves, and there is no reason for people to look down on themselves.
It's just a broken toe, and Xu Ping hasn't taken it seriously in his heart. If you really have the ability, you can destroy the party, subdue the Khitan, and take back Youyan, that is the great credit. In the history textbooks of the previous life, didn't it always be said that these two families were the great enemies of the Song Dynasty? If you fight, you have to fight hard, and bullying the weak is nothing.
Liu Sanbian is forty-eight years old, Zhang Xian is forty-five years old, and Xu Ping is in the back garden, except for Xue Kui and Wang Shu, it seems that they are the oldest. But when it comes to official positions and qualifications, it seems that these two officials are the smallest, and the officials are the least qualified, inferior to others, and even more heaven and earth than Xu Ping.
Xu Ping himself doesn't care much about his status in the officialdom, one is the influence of his thoughts in his previous life, and the other is his own special identity and experience, and he has never understood why these two people are so excited. I thought in my heart that they were conceited of their musical talent and felt ashamed that they didn't sing it, but the more I watched it, the more it didn't happen.
Puzzled, but couldn't think through that point, Xu Ping could only shake his head secretly, not thinking about these idle things, and beckoning everyone to leave the pond under the sun and go back to the pergola to eat wine and melons. (To be continued.) )
