"I see!"
Su Ziji's heart sank after hearing the emperor's words, and he felt that it was expected.
In reality, it doesn't matter whether the poem is a poem or not. You can deal with the past by just writing a random poem. The emperor's intention will be clear when you look at the eyes of King Qi and King of Shu, and the surprised look in the officials' eyes.
This is a political signal.
This is not to say that it is unplayable. On the contrary, it is the most common method used by officials and superiors to release signals and then influence the direction of the trend.
As soon as this trend came out, not only did the King of Qi and the King of Shu regain their confidence and compete with themselves, but a large part of the officials who originally wanted to get closer to them may also hesitate and wait and see.
This can interrupt your own snowballing trend without any effort.
But despite knowing it, there is no solution. Of course, this is not a panacea. In this case, as long as he continues to occupy the title of grandson, it will play a screening role.
Even so, you have to deal with it yourself, and the important thing is not to lose your bearing and demeanor. .
If you have a calm attitude, you can still invest. If you are in trouble, everyone will stay away.
But since the emperor used this trick, he no longer had any psychological burden to spread rumors and incite.
Thinking of this, Su Ziji stood up and bowed: "The emperor has proposed the topic, and Sun Chen has to accept it, so he will show his shame."
After saying that, he calmly stood up and took a walk in the atrium, facing the complicated gazes of the officials. It must be said that this immediately made many people's eyes brighten.
The great-grandson was wearing a royal robe, but he was not overpowering anyone else. This step was so dazzling that it made people forget about ordinary things at first sight. Many people couldn't help but think to themselves: "The emperor is too harsh on such a great-grandson."
After not taking seven steps, but after taking three steps, he stopped and recited the poem:
“The new year is not yet blooming, but we are surprised to see grass buds in early February.
The white snow is too late for spring, so it flies through the trees in the garden. "
After the last sentence fell, Su Ziji saluted upward: "Sun Chen is not talented, so I use this poem to congratulate today's snow scene."
All the officials present were silent. They were all Jinshi. Even if they were not good at it, they could still appreciate it. This poem brought out new ideas in the ordinary scenery, which can be said to be a work of art.
There are no flowers in the New Year yet. The word "du" reveals the anxiety of longing for the spring scenery, and the word "surprise" expresses the surprise after getting rid of the winter cold, with ups and downs.
The next two sentences, "The white snow is too late for spring, so the flowers fly through the trees in the garden." On the surface, there is snow but no flowers. In fact, the snowflakes fly down through the trees, but they can also decorate the spring scenery, which shows the author's broad-mindedness.
If it were alone, it would not lose its first-class quality. If it were used in this situation, when the emperor suddenly suppressed it, this poem would be simply wonderful and endlessly memorable.
"Not to mention just three steps, Taisun's poem is simply a work of nature."
"What a poem!"
The officials were quiet for a moment, but someone said something. Suddenly everyone present looked at him to see who was so short-sighted, but they saw that it was a fifth-grade official who didn't look very familiar. He was half intoxicated with poetry and half confused. It seems that he doesn't understand why everyone is looking at him like this.
"When you reach the fifth rank, is there such an official?"
Before the emperor sitting above could see who was speaking.
"The great grandson has a poem like this. We are congratulating you on the Yuan Dynasty and congratulating the emperor." At this time, someone stood up and spoke in the audience. Everyone was even more shocked. The officials below don't understand. Don't you understand if you are above the third rank?
They looked at each other in confusion and immediately understood that this was Luo Pei, who had taken refuge with his grandson early on, and as the prince's young protector, he protected his grandson, or was it natural?
"We would like to congratulate Shangyuan and congratulate the emperor." With this person taking the lead, the silence seemed to be broken. People in the crowd praised him one after another, and for a while, the atmosphere became lively.
Gu Zhi: "People's hearts can be used!"
Su Ziji thought that the emperor had sent a signal and he would be suppressed. He never expected that an ignorant and humble minister suddenly said this, breaking the deadlock, and Luo Pei stood up directly to support him. , the situation immediately changed.
"Perhaps the emperor is old and has a grandson. The most important thing for the government and the public is stability. However, the emperor's sudden move at today's banquet has made knowledgeable people a little dissatisfied."
"It doesn't matter that the emperor usually plays tricks, but at this juncture, it doesn't matter."
The officials did not dare to question the emperor, but when he actually completed a poem in seven steps, and the poem was so beautiful, how could he not be amazed?
"This is the officialdom. I just pretend that I don't know what's dirty about it. I just follow the common rules and greet my grandson. Isn't this a matter of course?"
If Su Ziji realized something, he glanced around and saw all the ministers congratulating him. The palace was full of joy. Even the usually mature and prudent pavilion elders looked at him with admiration.
At this moment, the emperor sitting on it seemed to be a loner isolated from everyone.
This situation only lasted a moment. Zhao Xu had already stood up and said loudly: "Today is a festive day. Not only the grandson writes poems, but all the officials also have to write poems."
"I asked you a question. People from all over the world will pay tribute to you with nine levels of robes and hats. The holy king will be like a flying dragon when he is in power."
It’s not just Zhao Xu, Qian Wei responded: “Looking at the double opening of the pheasant fan from a distance, I wish you long live and auspicious atmosphere.”
After receiving the two poems, the emperor couldn't help but smile and raise his glass to take a sip. The officials seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they chanted the corresponding sentences one by one from top to bottom.
This is tradition. Although the emperor is smiling, he is horrified in his heart.
In the past, although I had felt the consequences of my old age, it was not as obvious as it is now.
When the emperor was young, his words were like thunder. Even the princes and prime ministers were just like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves. No one dared to disobey him. But now, he has not collapsed yet, but he is already a little cold.
It can be seen that people's hearts have changed and the world has turned cold and cold.
The anger in his heart rushed to his heart for a moment. Listening to the continuous praise, the muscles in his face twitched, and he almost couldn't hold back and showed an angry look.
"However, this is common sense. The most important thing now is that I can regain my youth."
Originally, the purpose of establishing this grandson as the grandson was just for longevity and for the Dragon Qi to be strong. In the eyes of the emperor, the grandson was just a "medicine", and the process of establishing the grandson was nothing more than a "concocting" process.
As a result, the situation is now obvious. Even the emperor underestimated the impact of the title of grandson on the officials, and also overestimated his own patience and endurance.
The emperor felt that he could hardly bear it anymore, but he could only endure it.
Because the emperor seemed to be in a low mood, even if the singing and dancing at the banquet were very good, the emperor was too lazy to watch. And because he was the emperor, he did not need to aggrieve himself too much, so he sat with a calm attitude. How could the noble officials not see it? These?
Naturally, no matter how supportive they are, the whole atmosphere becomes a little awkward and cold without knowing it. Looking at everyone carefully, although they are all smiling, their expressions are a little stiff.
Especially the King of Shu and the King of Qi, their faces were slightly blue, and they were a little at a loss. It was obvious that this situation was not expected.
After finally getting through the banquet, everyone, including Su Ziji, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I respectfully send you off to your Majesty."
Everyone, including Su Ziji, saluted the emperor and watched him leave. Then, Su Ziji glanced around with a smile, then turned around and left.
When the emperor's grandson went out, the King of Qi snorted coldly, stretched out his sleeves and left. Only the officials and noble officials dared to go out. When they went out, there was a constant "buzzing" sound.
The cabinet ministers who stood up walked slowly and looked at each other with solemn expressions.
