Chapter 2 Does this Zhuzi also compose poetry?
The Daxia Palace had the style of architecture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The palace walls were several feet high and the eaves were high and the teeth were pecking. The glass palace was stretched out like a long dragon.
When you step into the Meridian Gate, a mysterious and heavy atmosphere comes to your face.
Jiang Zhensheng rushed Jiang Han into the Meridian Gate, crossed the Jiulong Bridge, came to the eaves of dripping water, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the criminal minister and his rebellious son Jiang Han came to apologize!"
The eunuch soon spread the news into Ziji Hall.
In the Ziji Hall, Emperor Xia Qi sat high on the dragon throne, and was divided into two columns of princes and ministers below.
A large eunuch came to Emperor Xia Qi: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei from outside the door brought Jiang Han to see him."
Emperor Xia Qi nodded slightly, and his voice was majestic: "Let them come in!"
A few minutes later, Jiang Zhensheng took Jiang Han into the hall, came to Emperor Xia Qi, and knelt down and saluted: "I have seen Your Majesty. I have brought my unfilial son Jiang Han, please give him the post."
Then he shouted to Jiang Han: "Don't kneel down yet!"
Jiang Han would not say anything at this time, "A man has gold under his knees, kneels down on the sky and kneels on his parents." He immediately knelt down at Emperor Xia Qi and secretly raised his head to look at Emperor Xia Qi.
Emperor Xia Qi wore a bright yellow crown and sat upright on the dragon chaise, with a solemn expression and was powerful without anger.
The civil and military men on both sides stood with their scepters, and the team was solemn.
This is the emperor and the officials? This attitude is even more solemn than the highest meeting in the previous life, making people feel inexplicably panic... Jiang Han smacked his lips and thought in his heart what to do later.
Emperor Xia Qi glanced at Jiang Han and said, "No wonder the wedding date is approaching, and he ran to the Jiaofangsi to mess around. This temperament is indeed his own."
Jiang Zhen said in a voice: "Your Majesty forgive me! It was because the old minister was incompetent in discipline, so he taught such a rebellious son! He wouldn't he admit his mistake quickly!"
Jiang Han said: "Jiang Han knows his mistake, please forgive me!"
Emperor Xia Qi looked at Jiang Han and said in a deep voice: "I have set a wedding date for you. You are ungrateful and even ran to the Jiaofangsi to mess around. I heard that you dare to scold my daughter? Why? Do you think my daughter is not worthy of you?"
Although the emperor's voice was calm, it was even more shocking.
In the quiet Ziji Hall, the princes and ministers were silent and the atmosphere was serious.
How do I know if the women in Jiaofangsi are good? I have never slept... Jiang Han lowered his eyebrows, and he only dared to say these words in his heart.
Duke Wei was sweating coldly on his back and said quickly: "Your Majesty, it's an old minister who has no choice but to teach his son! Please forgive me for your crime! I will..."
Emperor Xia Qi interrupted lightly: "Jiang Han, since you claim that you will never marry Ning Yue, go to the palace to serve me as a eunuch!"
Be a eunuch?
Isn't that a eunuch?
Jiang Han was stunned at first, then his heart was filled with storms. He didn't expect that the dog emperor would actually castrate himself!
After all, I am the son of the Duke. Do you really want to be a eunuch?
This feudal society is so damn good...
It would be better to die just because I was a eunuch!
Two eunuchs walked towards Jiang Han, smiling with a slight smile: "Young Master Jiang Han, follow us!"
Jiang Han's heart trembled, took a step back, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty! I have never said that I would never marry Princess Ningyue, nor did I slander Princess Ningyue! Jiang Han only admires Princess Ningyue, so how could he slander the princess's reputation? These are all rumors! Please give your Majesty a clear understanding!"
The original owner's biggest mistake was not to go to the Jiafangsi, but to scold the princess and say the words that would rather die than marry the princess.
If you don’t have that, you will be taught a verbal lesson at most. No matter how serious it is, you will just cancel the engagement.
Only by denying that you have said that can you save your life.
The Duke of Wei stepped forward and kowtowed, "Please spare this rebellious son because of the old minister's age! I know that this rebellious son is not enough to marry the princess, so I am willing to let him join the princess's mansion and be supervised by the princess."
The princes and ministers on both sides looked at each other.
To marry into the princess's mansion is equivalent to giving her son to the royal family. From then on, he will not be able to participate in politics and become an official. If the princess wants Jiang Han to change his surname, he will have to change his surname.
In order to calm Your Majesty's anger, Duke Wei was really willing to give up.
Before Emperor Xia Qi could speak, a minister flashed out of the right column and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Jiang Han stayed in the Jiaofangsi overnight and slandered the princess. There are many witnesses in the Jiaofangsi. Such people who despise the heavens should not be spared easily, otherwise they would tolerate the traitor and would only give examples to other princesses!"
Jiang Han glanced at the man and vaguely remembered that it seemed that it was Duke Song He Liansong, a civil official, who had never dealt with his father. He secretly scolded him in his heart and even took the blame.
He turned his mind and shouted, "Your Majesty, Jiang Hanjue has never insulted the princess! These are all rumors created by people with ulterior motives! Princess Ningyue is famous and dignified and elegant. I have been admiring Princess Ningyue for a long time and often write poems to praise the princess. I know that Your Majesty is extremely happy to give a marriage, so how could he insult her? It is even more impossible to refuse this marriage."
Jiang Han's voice was slightly slower and continued, "What's more, the rumor said that the princess beat me up, which is even more a joke! The princess was gentle and sophisticated. How could she break into a dirty place like Jiaofangsi? What's more, she wants to hit someone? She must be a jealous person who spreads rumors and slander me and the princess, and ruin our marriage. Please give your Majesty a clear guide!"
Jiang Han's reaction couldn't help but surprise Jiang Zhensheng. This rebel only knows how to eat, drink and have fun on weekdays. When did he get to know the truth? He could actually say these well-founded words?
He also replied: "Your Majesty, although my son is not a filial son, he will not openly slander the princess's reputation. I am afraid that this is a traitor who spreads rumors. Please ask Your Majesty to investigate clearly!"
Duke Song's eyes fell on Jiang Han. Jiang Han was also a little anxious and wanted to turn big things into small things.
If this matter continues to be investigated, it will definitely fall into rumors.
After all, Princess Ning Yue also needs face, and the Tian family also needs face.
But then, the Duke of Song thought of something and said, "Your Majesty, Jiang Han is a famous playboy in Kyoto. It is said that he can't even tell the difference between the rhythm and the rhyme. He is actually a fool. He said that he often writes poems to praise the princess, which is ridiculous! In order to protect himself, this son actually lied to deceive His Majesty, deceiving the emperor, and his crime is unforgivable!"
Jiang Han's heart skipped a beat. After that, he forgot that his original body was a person who didn't like to study, so he shouldn't have said that sentence more.
This suddenly became a crime of deceiving the king, and the crime should be beheaded.
Emperor Xia Qi sat on a dragon throne with a strong temper: "Zhou Hongyan, I remember that Jiang Han had read books in the Imperial College. How about poetry and prose? Is there a juren's position?"
Zhou Hongyan, the priest of the Imperial College, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, Jiang Han was ignorant in the Imperial College, and often teased his teachers. His poetry and prose were nonsense! Don't say that he was a juren's literary position, but he didn't even have a scholar's literary position. At best, he was a child."
If a literati of Daxia has a literary position, they can master extraordinary magical powers.
For example, if you have a verbal confrontation in Juren’s literary position, you can hurt people.
A scholar can talk about war on paper and turn words into swords.
Tongsheng's literary position is the lowest, but he can also have clear eyes and sharp ears and can see things at night.
But after Zhou Hongyan said that Jiang Han was even worse than Tong Sheng.
Emperor Xia Qi shook his head in disappointment.
Jiang Han swallowed his saliva hard, "Who said that Tong Sheng’s literary position could not write poetry? Your Majesty clearly understands that Jiang Han will never deceive the emperor!"
But his defense seemed pale and powerless in the eyes of the ministers.
Song State said: "Your Majesty, since Jiang Han said that he often wrote poems to praise the princess, it would be better to let him take out the poem. If he could really take it out, it would be fine. It proves that this matter is indeed a rumor. If it is a fool, he will be severely punished for deceiving the king!"
Jiang Zhensheng secretly hated in his heart that this old guy took the blame and insisted on killing my son!
Emperor Xia Qi looked down at Jiang Han with a condescending voice, with a majestic and low voice: "Jiang Han, since you claim to have loved the princess for a long time, don't say that I won't give you a chance!
I limited you thirty steps to write a poem for Ning Yue. I can write it out, and the meaning of the poem is smooth. I think you have never said those words.
If you can't do it, it's the crime of deceiving the king. Don't blame me for chopping your dog's head!"
He waved his hand and the eunuch stepped forward and untied the rope for Jiang Han.
Duke Wei Guo, Jiang Zhensheng, immediately smiled bitterly. He knew this rebellious son, and he could write poems. He had to spend several days memorizing a poem.
Writing poetry in thirty steps, isn’t this embarrassing him?
Duke Song looked at Jiang Zhensheng with a serious expression, but his eyes were a bit playful.
The princes and ministers all shook their heads slightly.
At first glance, Your Majesty seemed to have given him a chance, but in fact, everyone knew that Duke Wei, Jiang Zhensheng, was a warrior who fought immediately, and his son had no talent for poetry.
Jiang Han will undoubtedly die this time, and he may even implicate Duke Wei.
However, at this moment, Jiang Han was ecstatic and looked at Duke Song and felt much more pleasing to him. He whispered loudly: "Thank you for giving me the opportunity, but it doesn't take thirty steps. I have already had a draft of my thoughts, so I can write poems in seven steps!"
Seven steps?
Why is this kid so arrogant?
