Cao Tong looked very satisfied with Zhao Shan's eyes.
What happened in Luoyang these days shows that Zhao Shan is a sage monarch. Zhao Shan works hard and is likely to revive Daqian. It was Cao Mengchan's opportunity to marry Zhao Shan, and the Cao family also benefited from it.
Cao Tong stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "No, now that the marriage between Mengchan and the emperor has been finalized, we cannot delay it and arrange it as soon as possible. When is the nearest auspicious day?"
Chen Buqi was stunned for a moment.
In the study of Cao's family, Chen Buqi proposed that Zhao Shan marry Cao Mengchan. Cao Tong demanded perfection and no need to rush. The time for the marriage must be chosen well and the process should be arranged well without any sloppiness.
Now, it has become as fast as possible?
Chen Buqi glanced at Zhao Shan and sighed in his heart, His Majesty is indeed extraordinary.
Chen Buqi smiled and said: "Teacher, don't worry, the disciple will make arrangements as soon as possible."
Cao Tong snorted, looking dissatisfied, and urged: "What does it mean as soon as possible? We must make arrangements immediately, seize the time to go through the process, and quickly find the people from Qin Tianjian to choose the auspicious day of the zodiac."
Chen Buqi said again: "Teacher is right, I will remember it."
Cao Tong nodded with satisfaction and said: "Come on, let's go over and take a look and hear what the emperor has to say? Many scholars in Longmen Mountain have extraordinary abilities, and they cannot be dismissed with just two poems."
Chen Buqi followed with a smile.
The two came to the periphery and watched quietly.
On the stage, Zhao Shanren easily responded to the praise and compliments of the scholars.
At this time, a scholar over forty years old stood up. He was thin, dressed in coarse linen clothes, and his eyes were a little timid. He said urgently: "Mr. Zhao, I am Hu Zhongwen, who is good at Sanqu. Please give me some advice from Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Shandao: "Please tell me."
Hu Zhongwen looked solemn and said in a loud voice: "The name of this Sanqu is "Sheep on the Hillside: Longmen's Feelings"."
"Yunshan is intentional, official career is unplanned, and the cold wind blows away the tears of fame and fame. Come and go, don't mention it anymore! The green mountains are full of solutions and make people drunk. Gains and losses are all natural. Gains are in his destiny; losses are in our destiny."
"Master Zhao, please comment."
Hu Zhongwen's eyes were a little nervous.
He was born into a poor family, and after studying in Longmen Mountain, he had great ambitions and had no chance to become an official.
Zhao Shan said: "Brother Hu's music is well written, but it is too pessimistic. In the past, Daqian was in charge of traitors and sycophants, which made people feel discouraged. Today, His Majesty is reorganizing the country, and Brother Hu has a chance, so why should he be decadent?" I think Brother Hu should cheer up and get ready to serve."
Hu Zhongwen said thoughtfully: "I will bear in mind what Mr. Zhao said."
Cao Mengchan then said: "Master Zhao, since Brother Hu's Sanqu is too decadent, why not write a Sanqu that worries about the world and the people?"
The surrounding scholars followed suit and asked Zhao Shan to compose music.
Zhao Shan smiled in his heart.
Cao Mengchan is really a good wife, and he wants to become famous in Longmen Mountain to increase his influence. Cao Mengchan's words just gave him an opportunity.
Zhao Shan smiled softly and said loudly: "The Chang'an area west of Tongguan was the former capital of Daqian. Now it is occupied by Xiliang, and the people suffer. I wrote a Sanqu called "Shanshan Sheep·Tong Guan Guan" "."
"The peaks and mountains are like clusters, the waves are like angry waves, and the mountains and rivers are like Tongguan Road inside and outside. Looking at the Western Capital, I feel hesitant."
"Wherever the Great Qian Sutra goes, all the palaces and palaces are turned into dirt. When it prospers, the people suffer; when it dies, the people suffer."
Wow! !
There was chatter and shock all around.
Countless scholars praised him, and the look in Zhao Shan's eyes was even more incredible, with deep admiration in his eyes.
Well, the people are suffering!
Death, the people suffer!
This Sanqu is concerned about the country and the people.
Cao Mengchan was even more excited, and her heart couldn't help but beat rapidly. There were "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" and "Inscription on Chrysanthemums" before, and now there is "Sheep on the Hillside·Tong Caring for the Ancient Times", which establishes a heroic and caring image of the country and the people.
Cao Tong was watching from the outside. When he heard Zhao Shan's words, his eyes were filled with admiration.
The rise and fall of a good people are suffering.
At this moment, Cao Tong was very impressed with the emperor Zhao Shan and eagerly walked inside.
Cao Tong and Chen Buqi came to the audience, and Cao Tong walked up. He did not expose Zhao Shan's identity, but said with a smile: "Master Zhao Hao's poems have lofty artistic conception, and I admire them."
Cao Mengchan's eyes were filled with surprise, and she quickly introduced: "Brother Zhao, this is my grandfather, and he has come out."
Zhao Shan glanced at Chen Buqi and saw Chen Buqi nodding slightly, knowing that the engagement was settled and Cao Tong should also know his identity. Zhao Shan's expression was neither humble nor arrogant, he cupped his hands and said, "I have met Mr. Cao."
Cao Tong said with a smile: "Young Master Zhao has great talent and it is rare for him to come to Longmen Mountain. Why don't you give a few words to the scholars here to encourage them."
Zhao Shan said humbly: "Master Cao is here, how can I dare to do whatever I want to do?"
Cao Tong stroked his gray beard, as if he recognized Zhao Shan, and continued: "Master Zhao's talent and learning, whether it is poetry, lyrics, or music, are far inferior to me. There is no precedence in learning, and those who are masters come first. Master Zhao No need to be humble.”
Zhao Shan understood immediately.
Cao Tong was praising him, so Zhao Shan stopped refusing and said, "Since Mr. Cao has praised me, I will be brave enough to give it a try. I think poetry, lyrics and music are all trivial, because they are only used to express emotions, not the way to live in the world."
"All the scholars in Longmen Mountain, whether Han Xuanming or Hu Zhongwen, are determined to serve the imperial court."
"But there is no chance, and it is difficult to achieve my ambition for the time being. What should I do?"
"I think the most important thing is not to give up on yourself. Being far away from the rivers and lakes, farming is the way, studying and learning is the way, and cultivating people is the way. These are small things, but they also have big truths."
Zhao Shan's voice was passionate, and his eyes were even more wise and profound.
He looked around at the scholars present and continued: "If you don't clean one house, how can you clean the world? You can't just do it because of trivial matters, because when you enter the temple to serve the king, you want to help the king govern the world."
"The foundation of governing the world is to solve the problems of the people."
"Everyone, please don't neglect good deeds because they are small. Do things in a down-to-earth manner. Go to study and farm. Do more, observe more and talk less. I have eight words for you - empty talk will harm the country and make it prosperous through hard work. Only by being down-to-earth can we make progress." Only when you have the opportunity, you will be better off if you work hard."
Zhao Shan's eloquent words were clearly heard by every scholar present.
Cao Mengchan was fascinated by what he heard.
Mr. Zhao's realm was really lofty and thoughtful. Her heart was so excited, and her eyes when she looked at Zhao Shan were full of curiosity and joy.
Cao Tong has been studying all his life. When he heard Zhao Shan's summary, his eyes were filled with admiration. Putting aside Zhao Shan's status as his grandson-in-law and emperor, Cao Tong viewed Zhao Shan as a scholar, and it is also admirable that empty talk harms the country but hard work rejuvenates the country.
Cao Tong said happily: "Master Zhao said that tilling the land is the way, reading and learning is the way, and being humane and understanding is the way. I agree. Empty talk will ruin the country and rejuvenate the country through hard work. The way is the foundation of studying, establishing oneself, and doing things. I admire it. .”
"Mr. Zhao, please pay me your respects."
Cao Tong put his hands together and bowed to Zhao Shan with a solemn look.
"Master Zhao, please pay homage to Han Xuanming."
"Master Zhao, please pay homage to Hu Zhongwen."
Voices sounded one after another, and each scholar saluted Zhao Shan excitedly.
