Chapter 79 Become famous all over the world
He Xi's eyes changed when she looked at Fu Zhong.
He Xi had felt a little guilty about Fu Zhong before. But in the current situation, this trace of guilt has disappeared.
Yes, He Xi regretted what he said back then. If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have spoken so fully that he slapped himself in the face. However, there was never any engagement between Princess Anqing and Fu Zhong. It's just the Fu family's wishful thinking. If a family has a daughter, hundreds of families will ask for her. This is an ordinary thing.
Not to mention, now he and Princess Anqing have confirmed their wedding date.
At this time, Fu Zhong was still entangled in this matter. He Xi could only tolerate it because of his previous mistakes. He did such a thing. The little affection between him and Fu Zhong was gone.
However, the feud with Fu Zhong is a matter of the future. He has to deal with the current situation.
He Xi said: "Reporting to your majesty, I have gained something. I will write a new song for Linjiang Xiandu. I will write the lyrics for your majesty and make you smile with all the generals."
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and said, "Scholar Song is here."
"Old minister is here." Song Lian stood up tremblingly.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Song Scholar is a great master in the literary world. Please listen to the new songs of the younger generation for me."
Song Lian said: "Old minister, I obey the order."
He Xi swallowed. Although he couldn't be called tone-deaf, his voice wasn't very good either. That's just singing in KTV. I was very nervous to sing in front of so many people today. Fortunately, after these few months in the Ming Dynasty, I attended various occasions. It can be regarded as tempered. He just paused briefly and then sang loudly: "The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure are all gone. The country is still there, and the sunset is red several times. The white-haired fisherman on the river Nagisa is used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze, We are happy to meet each other over a pot of turbid wine, and many things in ancient and modern times can be discussed with laughter."
He Xi's voice is not very good, and her singing ability is just not out of tune.
But the requirements for singers in ancient and modern times are different.
There are standards for modern people to sing.
But for the ancient scholar-bureaucrats, singing was a way to express their aspirations. As long as the song isn't too unpleasant, it doesn't matter. What matters is what is sung.
This is also a Chinese characteristic. When Chinese people listen to songs, the most important thing is the lyrics. Even if it is the same melody but different lyrics, the acceptance will be different. It is for this reason.
Therefore, as long as He Xi's singing is not unpleasant, not many people care.
Song Lian listened to He Xi's singing and was silent for a long time. Suddenly two lines of turbid tears fell down and he said: "He Xiaoyou's words are deeply rooted in my heart. I am old and I should give up to He Xiaoyou. In the literary world of the Ming Dynasty, he can be regarded as a successor." "
"It's just that the tone is desolate and old-fashioned, but it's not suitable for young people. Why do you encourage me to do it?"
As a famous figure in the literary world, Song Lian can naturally hear the seemingly open-mindedness behind this word, but it also implies a unwillingness.
This is Yang Shen's masterpiece in his later years. It is said that Yang Shen was the only son of the prime minister. He was successful at a young age and was only a freshman in high school. However, because of the etiquette, he was sent to Yunnan and could not return home. Located in the border areas of Yunnan.
What sighs do you feel when you are approaching old age? It's all in this word.
It also fits Song Lian's mentality very well.
Song Lian was not an official in the Yuan Dynasty. Later, he became an advisor to Zhu Yuanzhang and became the prince's tutor. There was a honeymoon period between him and Zhu Yuanzhang. It can't be said that he obeys his advice, but he is also the ruler and his minister.
Now I am getting old. But he saw that the abandoned king was in a situation where he could not advance or retreat because of the prince. His two sons were implicated in his death under state law, and his old wife couldn't bear it and passed away.
Moreover, Song Lian's situation was not too bad among the scholar-bureaucrats in the late Yuan Dynasty. It could even be said to be good.
Zhu Yuanzhang had previously acted harshly because these scholar-officials in the late Yuan Dynasty refused to be loyal to him. Many of Song Lian's teachers and friends died at the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Song Lian sometimes asks himself. What does his life mean? No matter it is a grain of sand in the troubled times of the late Yuan Dynasty, it will be nothing more than a joke in the future.
"Good words, good words." Xu Da, who had been silent all the time, couldn't help but said: "What a good word. Your Majesty, I think of many old brothers."
As soon as Xu Da said this, the veterans fell silent.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also filled with emotion and felt a little drunk at this moment. Said: "Hu Dahai, Hua Yun, Geng Junyong, Feng Guoyong, Chang Yuchun, these old brothers are no longer here." Zhu Yuanzhang picked up his chopsticks and said: "He Xi, how to sing this word. Please teach me. .”
It's not difficult to sing this tune. But singing well is difficult.
He Xi only taught it a few times. Zhu Yuanzhang knows how to do it. Zhu Yuanzhang tapped the dishes in front of him with chopsticks, and Xu Da and other old brothers also paid attention to him. For a moment, he was singing this song with a drunken spirit, howling and crying.
As I sang, I didn’t know if I was getting drunk. Several veterans suddenly burst into tears.
A familiar face from back then flashed through their minds.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was very high-spirited, and the generals who followed him were all in their prime, and they had absolutely no selfish intentions towards each other. Work together to conquer the world. Many of these old brothers died in the battle.
Many of the deaths were tragic. For example, Hua Yun Shou Taiping was captured by Chen Youliang, but failed to persuade him to surrender. He was tied to a huge boulder and sank in the Yangtze River. As for dying in battle, or being killed by traitors. I don’t even know how many.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang also has gray hair early, and his brothers were all gray back then.
This feeling, this scene, this word, this song, why not cry?
To be honest, He Xi did not expect this situation.
Upon seeing this, Mei Yin said: "Brother He, today you will become famous all over the world."
He Xi said: "Brother Mei, you're welcome. It's just a trivial matter, how can it be famous all over the world?"
Mei Yin said: "Otherwise," he looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, you are better than Han Gao in every aspect. Han Gao has great wind songs. It is actually a pity that Your Majesty cannot live up to his own expectations. Once this song came out, it was comparable to . The lyrics and music are perfect, and within a hundred days, they will be spread all over the world."
He Xi did not expect such a reason, but good literary and artistic works have the influence to travel through time and space. This one is nothing.
But this kind of fame is not what he wants.
Mei Yin said: "By the way, do you have any other old works?"
He Xi coughed slightly, and said in a slightly louder voice: "No, I have always admired Li Yian. I think he is the best if his lyrics can be composed and sung. As for Su Xin, he has been very popular since then, but he has gone astray. That’s right. It’s not the right way to write poetry.”
"Nowadays, the songs and lyrics are mostly cliché, so I don't compose new songs or lyrics. This one is the only one that I think is good. The others are unsightly and I don't dare to make people laugh."
He Xi turned to look at Fu Zhong and said, "If Brother Fu hadn't forced me to do it, I would have thought carefully about this word and wouldn't reveal it to others easily."
Poetry. It is the peak of Chinese culture. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, although there were some very good poems, He Xi did not know that in his impression, there were only a few dozen poems in the Ming and Qing Dynasties that were good.
If he picks up one today, he will continue to sing poems from now on.
If he can produce one song, he will be able to produce as many songs as he wants in the future.
Many people have a misunderstanding, that is, seeing that many poets have few works, they think that this poet has written little. In fact, this is not the case. Among scholar-bureaucrats, they have to write when they say goodbye and miss each other. Even when everyone goes out for gatherings, they also write poems.
The reason why not many of them have been handed down is because these poems are not good. It has no circulation value.
Just like Qianlong's 40,000 poems, they are all recorded, but how many do you know?
But the problem is, these poems are not enough to spread. It’s hard to say, but that’s from the perspective of being passed down through the ages, not from the perspective of the poems themselves. After all, there are only a handful of poems that can be passed down through the ages.
And He Xi knows his own abilities. He has never been trained in ancient phonology. In the eyes of ancient scholar-bureaucrats, writing poetry was as simple as eating and drinking. But let He Xi face it. In one year, he wrote dozens of poems, sent them to someone, went to a banquet, wrote a letter, climbed a mountain, swam in a lake, and all the calligraphy treasures were left behind. This was simply crazy.
It was simply impossible to cope.
Therefore, it should be eliminated from the beginning.
It doesn't matter whether he agrees with Li Qingzhao's literary concepts. The important thing is that after the Southern Song Dynasty, most of the lyrics could not be sung and were disconnected from the music. Li Qingzhao satirized this phenomenon. So, he came up with new songs and new lyrics. Always avoid writing a lot of poetry.
It's just that Fu Zhong didn't know He Xi's intention. Seeing He Xi acting like this, he felt that He Xi was mocking him. The anger in his heart surged, and his fists suddenly became hard.
Li Qi saw this and said, "Brother Fu, let's go over there to drink. Let's go."
Fu Zhong also knew that it was nothing for him to set a trap for He Xi today. He had thought it through before doing it. But if you do it in front of the emperor, the consequences will be serious. At this moment, Li Qi made the steps, and Fu Zhong followed the steps.
He was pulled outside the hall by Li Qi.
Li Qi leaned against the beauty in the corridor and said to Fu Zhong: "I know what Brother Fu is thinking. But then He Xi's favor is strong. After you and me, heroes like him, there is no need to be bullied by his villain. It’s a matter of method.”
Fu Zhong sneered and said, "He Xi, a villain, will have to pay the price sooner or later."
Although Fu Zhong said this, the anger in his heart was actually much lighter. It’s just that I can’t let go.
Although He Xi is very talented in ordnance manufacturing. But in Fu Zhong's view, this is just the talent of a craftsman, so in Fu Zhong's view, He Xi is far inferior to him. However, it was He Xi who won the beauty's heart. This bothered him.
Although Fu Zhong was a martial artist, Fu Youde was very strict with his education. It cannot be said that there is much research on poetry, but even a blind person can see the quality of He Xi's poem, and how could Fu Zhong not see it.
At this moment, Fu Zhong felt that it was not unacceptable to lose to He Xi with such accomplishments in literary talent.
But a man's face cannot be lost.
"Okay, I'll help you with this matter." Li Qi said.
This sentence surprised Fu Zhong.
