Chapter 76 Xiaobai Combination
When the young man saw Mao Geng and his two agreed, he was immediately overjoyed and quickly called people. After giving orders, a female servant led her to the second floor and came to a hall called "Penglai".
After Mao Geng Wenyuan sat down, the young man gave another order to entrust a few maids to do this. After a while, Mao Geng Wenyuan put tea in front of his desk, then boiled a stove, and even musical instruments such as piano and flute were placed on it.
Mao Gengxin said what he was going to do.
The young man just said:
"Please wait for two young men, please use tea first, and my master will arrive later."
Mao Geng noticed that this "Penglai" hall is extremely particular, with tables, chairs, tea sets and all the tables, chairs and tea sets inlaid with gold and silver. In Mao Geng's opinion, this is really luxurious. In terms of luxury and exquisiteness, I am afraid that this place may not be lost to the palace, but it is not as grand as the palace.
But not only that, what surprised Mao Geng was that in the paintings hanging on the walls, there were not only landscape paintings, but also a lady's painting - no, that cannot be called a lady's painting! The person in the painting should be a woman in the fun, just because the person in the painting only wore a belly with a belly, the spring light suddenly showed, and the eyebrows and eyes were filled with emotion. When you look closely, there were obvious traces of charcoal sketches in the painting, but the color was drawn, but the color did not cover the traces of sketches like oil paintings, so the whole painting looked a bit strange.
Is this the characteristic of the legendary "Guang School"? Alas! The painter may not be able to accurately use light and shadow to paint, but people grasp people's psychology and leak spring light in the painting. Hehe, it turns out that the "Guang School" painting method is to attract attention and take off all the lights. No wonder Jiang, who is the "Shadow School" painting method, has to be disdainful of the "Guang School". However, the stripping show in later generations is called being arrogant in the world. In comparison, the cautious light leakage scale of the "Guang School" is beyond the reach of the world.
Mao Geng didn't know if this painting was painted by Niu Jindong. However, from a market perspective, this "Guang School" painting method should have a lot of market. Niu Jindong's market consciousness is very impressive and cannot be regarded as lightly.
The young master saw Mao Geng staring at the painting, but Wen Yuan seemed quite calm. He couldn't help but feel good about Wen Yuan and classified Mao Geng as a lustful person. Of course, Mao Geng knew nothing about this. If Wen Yuan was alone, he would definitely go up to see the inscription on the painting, but with this young master there, it would be difficult to do this.
At this time, the master finally arrived, and there were two people coming. In addition to the young master who scolded Wen Yuan for stepping down, there was also a young master. When the young master came in, he gave a deep bow and said:
"I'm here Zhao Yimeng, I've met two young masters. Is this the young master Mao?"
Mao Geng immediately stood up. Han Wu just introduced that the other party's identity was a clan of the royal family. In Mao Geng's mind, the royal family and the royal family's relatives are their most important customer resources, so they cannot be offended, so they can't drink other people's tea, but the royal family's tea must be drunk. I just don't know what Zhao Yimeng is, but the clan's children came to Jincuilou in vain and of course they could not tell them under their true name. There was no need to make a fool of themselves and call them true, so they replied:
"I have met Brother Zhao in Xia Mao Geng. Fortunately, I met you!"
The visitor was Zhao Han, the grandson of Emperor Xiaozong of Song. He followed him with two women dressed as men. One was a concubine, who said he was a concubine, but in fact he was just a beautiful maid given by Empress Dowager Wu. She was just good at singing and dancing, and now she was favored. As for the other, she was the maid who was ordered by the palace, she was the one who stopped Mao Wen and the others at the door just now.
Zhao Han immediately apologized for being late:
"I have made the two young men wait for a long time! I wanted to wait until Mr. Jiang finished playing and invite him to come over for a cup of tea, but Mr. Jiang had an appointment, haha, I feel very sorry!"
Mao Geng knew that Jiang Kui was from the orthodox perspective of lyrics and music, and for a moment, he was afraid that he would not accept the traditional Song lyrics singing style. Since he had such an attitude and did not want to see Wen Yuan, that was understandable. But facing the clan’s children, did Jiang Kui even sell the face of the clan’s family? It is said that Jiang Kui had a close relationship with Yang Wanli, Fan Chengda and Xin Qiji, and he also happily accepted their gifts. This man actually refused the invitation from the clan’s children. Whether he disdained to be with the playboys or his attitude of defending the traditional Song lyrics singing style is very firm.
Zhao Han came to listen to Jiang Kui and Wu Lianer's performance in Japan. Of course, he could only go in contemporaneously and could not make a statement. However, Zhao Han was also worried this year. Over the years, there have been rumors that his grandfather intended to pass the throne to him. He felt that it should be from his grandfather's sincerity, but this proposal was really full of resistance and he could not see hope for a moment, so Zhao Han couldn't help but give up on himself.
It is said that Zhao Feng, the Emperor Xiaozong of Song, had three sons, the eldest son Zhao Yan, the second son Zhao Kai, and the third son Zhao Dun, were all born to the original wife of Empress Guo. After Zhao Feng ascended the throne, he made the eldest son Zhao Feng the crown prince in the first year of Qiandao (1165), but Zhao Feng had a poor life and died in a medical accident two years later. It is said that after the eldest son died early, the second son Zhao Kai should be made the crown prince, but Zhao Feng felt that the third son
Zhao Dun is more suitable for ascending the throne and becoming an emperor than the honest and honest Zhao Kai. In the words of Zhao Dun, Zhao Dun is "like himself" and means that Zhao Dun is like himself and has the potential to become a wise and Shenwu Emperor. Therefore, after Zhao Dun died in the third year of Qiandao (1167), the Eastern Palace was always empty. Zhao Dun tried his best to finally make Zhao Dun who was optimistic as he wished became the crown prince in the seventh year of Qiandao (1171).
In the seventh year of Chunxi (1180), Zhao Kai died in Mingzhou. This time it was not a medical accident, but in the words of Zhao Guo, it was "a little bit of blessing". He was born to be the prince and was not the emperor. Zhao Guo was so glad that he chose Zhao Dun as the prince, which was foresighted and wise.
The matter was settled at this point, but after Zhao Han returned to Lin'an at the age of 11, Zhao Jun loved him more and more, thinking that Zhao Han was smarter and more like when he was young. The older Zhao Dun was, he became more and more mediocre. Compared with the two, Zhao Jun regretted it again. He turned around and wanted to depose Zhao Dun, and passed the throne to Zhao Jun. But at this time, Zhao Dun's position as a prince was solid, and Zhao Jun wanted to be easy to save himself. The resistance of all parties was too great. After trying a few times, Zhao Jun had to give up.
But Zhao Xun had a new idea. His wishful thinking was that after Zhao Dun became emperor, he would not make Zhao Dun's son Zhao Kuo the crown prince, but instead make Zhao Han the crown prince. In this way, the throne could still be passed to Zhao Han in the end.
Zhao Han originally expected his grandfather to pass the throne directly to him, because it was logical that the throne should be his own. After his uncle Zhao Yan passed away, his father was the chief among the two remaining brothers of his father, so he should be the crown prince. When his father died, he should be the crown prince himself. This is what Jin Shizong did. When his son Wanyan Yungong passed away, he made Wanyan Yungong's son Wanyan Jing the crown prince. Jin Shizong finally passed the throne directly to his grandson Wanyan Jing.
Zhao Dun had a completely different idea. Zhao Dun thought that the position of the crown prince should be his anyway. The eldest son Zhao Yan passed away, and the second son Zhao Kai was the crown prince. This is correct. But once the second son Zhao Kai died, it was his turn to be the crown prince. Therefore, the position of the crown prince was only a little earlier or later, and eventually it would always fall on himself.
The uncle and nephew thought about the problem completely differently, and there was nothing we could do about it. In Zhao Yan's eyes, his uncle Zhao Dun stole his position as crown prince, and once Zhao Dun became emperor, it would be impossible to make him the crown prince, and he would definitely make his son Zhao Kuo the crown prince.
Although Zhao Han still had a glimmer of hope to ascend the throne in the future, he knew in his heart that as long as Zhao Dun became the emperor, he would definitely be like the story of Taizong as Taizu, and would never take the initiative to pass on the throne to his brother's children and grandchildren. In his future, he would probably be at most a king.
Originally, the death of Emperor Gaozong should have been said to have a lot of resistance to Yi Chu, but Zhao Shen still could not be easy to save. This can only be said that Yi Chu still has a great resistance, or Zhao Shen did not have the determination to burn his boats to Yi Chu. In a blink of an eye, it was more than a year since the death of Emperor Gaozong of Great-grandfather Song. The prince was still Zhao Dun. Zhao Yan understood that his grandfather, he rarely used fierce means, and the same was true for Yi Chu. The matter of Yi Chu may only be left to the shelves from now on, and Zhao Yan no longer had any fantasies about the position of Prince.
Therefore, when Zhao Yan was discouraged and lazy, he indulged himself a little. Although he had not yet been indulged in the sensuality, his love, poetry, music and gradually became addicted to it. Therefore, today Jiang Kui played, and Zhao Yan deliberately disguised himself as a disguise and came to listen to the music, which was reasonable.
The above is too far, so the book is back to the original story.
Wen Yuan heard that Jiang Kui refused the appointment of the royal family in front of him, and was scolded by Jiang Kui just now, and even felt a sense of admiration for Jiang Kui, so he said in panic:
"Today, I am abrupt, which has disturbed Mr. Jiang's interest. However, what Mr. Jiang said is like a enlightenment to him, and he has benefited a lot."
Zhao Yan smiled and said:
"Actually, this new song of Mr. Wen is really nice. Although it is very different from the current singing style, Mr. Yi'an talks about lyrics and sings. Mr. Jiang also pursues the integration of lyrics and music. He highly praised Mr. Jiang, but after listening to Brother Wen's singing today, he suddenly had an idea. If Mr. Jiang can have a good time with the two young masters, he may no longer regard Mr. Wen's singing style as a mistake, or even Mr. Jiang can make a new song because of this, he will be very happy! It's just a pity--------"
Seeing that Wen Yuan was overshadowed under Jiang Kui's light today, Mao Geng took the speech and said:
"Brother Zhao, Mr. Jiang, and the lyrics and music produced by Mr. Jiang, were all good at playing. However, whether it was Yi'an or Mr. Jiang, they were all elegant lyrics, belonging to the Yangchun Baixue category. The scholars of the Song Dynasty loved elegance very much, especially Lin'an, and many literary and elegant people, so they were tall but not few, but there were many people who were in harmony. However, once they arrived in the countryside, the singing of Wenyuan could win the applause of the people."
Zhao Han thought for a while and said:
"Brother Mao said this and realized it a little bit. It seems that they are writing about love. The lyrics include 'Flowers are floating, water flows, a kind of lovesickness, two kinds of idle sorrows'. However, Brother Wen uses the most popular vernacular language. Although the writing styles are very different, they each have their own interests."
When Mao Geng heard Zhao Yan's words, he thought to himself that this guy is a little clever, and he really told you to be right. The "Yu Meiren" we sang is called popular singing.
Zhao Han turned to Wen Yuan and said:
"I'm taking the initiative and want to ask Brother Wen to sing here again, I don't know if it's possible!"
Wen Yuan had just been hit by Jiang Kui, but he was still disgusted at this time and was not excited. He had to look at Mao Geng and ask for his ideas.
Mao Geng was hit today, but he had faith in his heart and felt aroused. He said with emotion:
"Since Brother Zhao is interested, why not sing a new song with Wen Yuan together."
What Mao Geng wanted to sing was naturally "A Laugh in the Sea". This should have been sung by Wen Yuan just now, but since there was no singing on the stage, it would be better to make up for it here, so that Wen Yuan can cheer up.
The next moment, Wen Yuan plays the piano and Mao Geng sings:
"A laughter in the sea, the tide on both sides of the straits-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Zhao Yan was depressed, he suddenly listened to this passionate song, and then he felt that the lyrics seemed to be written for himself. The tune was exciting and particularly beautiful, and he was unknowingly obsessed.
Mao Geng didn't expect that this clan's son would like this song so much. In order to deal with Ting-Ye, the two of them prepared the scores this time, so they just did a good job and handed over the scores of "Yu Meiren" and "A Laugh in the Sea" to Zhao Yimeng.
Zhao Han was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. Mao Geng said in his heart that this playboy had been dealt with by himself and he had pried open a crack in the royal market. In time, the crack would become larger and larger until the royal market was fully opened to him. It is conceivable that if this continues, that day will definitely not be far away.
However, the next afternoon, Mao Geng was alone in the palace and met the young man who called himself Zhao Yimeng for the second time yesterday.
It turns out that he is Zhao Yan, the grandson that the government admires most today. Zhao Yan has heard Chen Liang's introduction. It seems that Zhao Yan even intends to abdicate to his precious grandson, but the ministers do not agree.
Zhao Guo's idea was to ask Zhao Han to take Yizhou as the commander, which made Mao Geng feel unimaginable. Mao Geng originally wanted to find an opportunity to recommend Xin Qiji as the commander to capture Yizhou, but after all, Xin Qiji led the troops and trained a group of elite soldiers in Changsha.
Zhao Han can only be considered a novice who talks about war at most. If he is partnered with him, he knows nothing about war and is also a military novice. In this way, he becomes an authentic "newbie combination". Is Zhao Group so relieved?
In Zhao's mind, Yu Yunwen had no experience in leading the army at that time, but in Caishiji, Yu Yunwen won a big victory. The barbarians in Yizhou were vulnerable, which was a great opportunity to make Zhao Han achieve great achievements. Just send a few capable generals.
Of course, Mao Geng did not have the qualifications to object. Mao Geng and Zhao Han were both in their twenties. The two little guys met each other yesterday. They met today. They smiled knowingly. Neither of them expected that things would be like this.
