Although Qin Lun is not yet fully familiar with Chinese characters, in order to understand Feng Langjun's new work, he worked hard and not only asked Zhang Bai to teach him word for word.
At the same time, I also recited it every day, just to be able to memorize it word for word.
I even used this article to practice calligraphy in order to be able to write it silently.
As a businessman, Qin Lun's ability to travel by sea from Great Qin to Seris cannot be attributed solely to his good luck.
Of course, good luck is also an important aspect.
And his boldness and courage.
There is also that big speculative mentality.
Feng Langjun's new work made Qin Lun see the speculative value.
What he lacks now is an opportunity to speculate.
And he knew that he wouldn't have to wait long for this opportunity.
Jianye has started to get hot in May.
Sun Quan's mood became anxious because of the heat.
I don't know if Wang Ling is too stupid, or if the rumors of a bad relationship between the two are untrue.
Anyway, the agents sent to the north to spread rumors and sow discord between Wang Ling and Man Chong never came back.
Coupled with the hidden Tibetan incident, Zhuge Zhiwei Wen and others did not find what they wanted.
Outside, the Shu Kingdom is threatening a great victory, and its momentum is like a rainbow.
These things only added to Sun Quan's impatience of being trapped in a cage.
When you are angry, you need to get rid of it; when you are impatient, you need to relieve it.
One of Sun Quan's ways to relieve his impatience was to talk to others about immortals and strangers.
After all, gods have no worries.
Even Zhang Zhao, the oldest person in the Wu Kingdom, often talked about immortal things with Emperor Sun.
Then one time, Yu Fan, the Cavalry Commander, sprayed:
They are just dead people, where are the gods? Are you still talking so cheerfully? Everyone will die from now on...
This made the two top figures in the Wu Kingdom quite embarrassed.
Of course, it’s fun to troll people for a while, but then you’ll be cremated.
So in the year when Emperor Sun ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, even Zhang Bai was included in the amnesty and was finally able to return to his hometown in Wu County.
However, Yu Fan went against the current and was exiled to Jiaozhou.
When chatting about everything, about gods and strangers, it is natural to find someone who has a lot of knowledge.
As it happens, Qin Lun has been to many places, has seen more than many people, and is also a good person.
So Sun Quan often chatted with Qin Lun.
Facing the ministers of Wu State, Sun Quan may still restrain himself and not talk too much about immortals.
But Qin Lun is different. He is from overseas and is not an official in Wu State.
In front of him, Sun Quan could talk about overseas affairs without any scruples.
Why is the emperor interested in overseas affairs?
Who isn't curious yet?
Isn't it normal to talk to people from overseas about overseas affairs?
As a qualified businessman, Qin Lun must try his best to sell whatever customers want to buy.
What's more, this customer's power is extraordinary.
It’s just that after talking about the fairy mountains overseas too many times, Qin Lun vaguely understood: This Emperor of Wu is probably looking for the fairy mountains overseas!
Then this year, Zhuge Zhiwei Wen was executed. Many people in the Wu Kingdom felt that the emperor had gone too far.
But as an outsider, Qin Lun was more sure of what he thought.
He even boldly guessed that the two of them most likely brought Sun Quan's secret order with them.
The so-called being punished for violating the imperial edict was actually Sun Quan's secret order.
But even if Qin Lun could guess what Sun Quan was thinking, he could only bury it deeply in his heart and dare not tell anyone.
Regarding the Emperor Wu's pursuit of the art of immortality, the ministers of Wu State can openly oppose it.
But when he, an overseas businessman, said it, he felt that he did not die quickly enough.
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be said.
But it is still possible to use the overseas fairy mountain incident to make Emperor Wu happy and take the opportunity to get more benefits.
This new work by Feng Langjun is a good source of conversation.
What's even better is that this article is only known to a few people now, and it has not spread even to Shu, let alone Wu.
So what Qin Lun was waiting for was an opportunity to enter the palace and chat with Emperor Sun.
The opportunity came quickly.
On May 5th, the Chongwu Festival, there has always been a custom of dragon boat racing in the land of Wuyue.
Moreover, in the current state of Wu, where the boat master is the most powerful, it is natural that this custom should be valued.
Sun Quan, the great emperor of the state of Wu, came to the river in person to have fun with the people. He watched the dragon boat race finish and felt moved in his heart.
When I was having a banquet with the ministers, I asked everyone to compose poems to harmonize with each other. I was so unhappy.
Halfway through the banquet, the emperor and his ministers were all half drunk. Sun Quan was so happy that he returned to his old ways. He even stepped down from the throne and went to everyone in person to persuade them to drink.
Qin Lun took advantage of his status and was able to sit in a corner and drink with the kings and ministers of Wu.
When Sun Quan raised his glass to him, he was already drunk and relaxed. He looked at Qin Lun and asked jokingly:
"Everyone is chanting today. I heard that Mr. Wu has been here for several years. I wonder if it is possible to chant?"
Qin Lun had already raised his glass and stood up. When he heard Sun Quan's question, he quickly replied:
"Even if he is just an overseas person, how can he compare with the virtuous people under His Majesty's rule?"
Sun Quan laughed.
"Although I can't write any articles about it, I happened to read an article a few days ago. I think it's a masterpiece..."
Before Qin Lun finished speaking, Sun Quan laughed again:
"Since Sir said it is a masterpiece, it must be so. You might as well read it and listen to it!"
The people around also burst into laughter.
Everyone knows that this person from overseas can't even recognize the characters, so how can he know what a masterpiece is?
Qin Lun's expression remained unchanged. In fact, in the past few years, he had already understood the psychology of the Seris people.
They have extremely high standards and simply look down on the small countries and tribes around them. In fact, in their eyes, as an overseas person, their status is not too high.
But they are indeed qualified to do so.
Therefore, Qin Lun can face the current situation calmly.
"Haike talks about Yingzhou, Yan Tao's faint letter is hard to come by..."
Just the first sentence made Sun Quan sober up on the spot, and he almost held the wine glass in his hand!
Yingzhou? !
Is it Yingzhou?
Did I hear that correctly?
"The more people talk about Heavenly Mother, the bright clouds may disappear or be visible."
The first two sentences were considered to be the best ones, and people at the banquet were already nodding secretly.
As soon as they heard the two sentences "The sky is stretching to the sky, and the five mountains are overwhelming the Chicheng. The rooftop is 48,000 feet long, and it is about to fall to the southeast." Many people already took a breath, and at the same time, they became quiet and gathered together. Listen attentively.
At the same time, he thought in his mind:
Where is Laoshan today?
I thought these two sentences were shocking enough, but I didn’t know there was another one after them:
The vast blue sky has no bottom, and the sun and moon shine on the gold and silver platform.
Ni is the clothes, the wind is the horse, and the kings of clouds come and go one after another.
Tigers, drums and harps come and Luan returns to the carriage, and immortals come and line up like hemp.
…
Incredible, incredible!
Everyone stood up involuntarily and leaned towards Qin Lun, just to hear clearly, for fear of missing any words.
As for Sun Quan, who was standing in front of Qin Lun, the ear cup in his hand had fallen to the ground without realizing it.
On the gold and silver platform, neon is the clothes, the wind is the horse, the tiger is the drum, the luan is the chariot, the king of the clouds, the immortal!
"Who is this Mr. Xie?"
Just when everyone thought Sun Quan was going to ask who wrote this article, he actually asked about the person in the article.
I can't help it, I'm too excited.
Immortal Mountain, he had been asking for it so hard but couldn't get it. At this moment, he suddenly heard that someone had seen the Immortal Mountain. Sun Quan was so excited that his body began to tremble.
"Your Majesty, I don't know. I heard that he is from Feng Langjun's disciple."
Qin Lun honestly told the news he got from Zhang Bai.
"who?!"
"Feng Langjun."
"Which Feng Langjun?"
"It's Feng Langjun of Shu Kingdom. This article was also written by Feng Langjun."
The officials of the Wu Kingdom who were shocked by the article suddenly became extremely excited when they heard this.
Wasn’t the article I just read exciting enough?
I have to read an article by a Shu man!
Zhang Zhao, on the other hand, squinted his eyes and stroked his beard, and praised repeatedly:
"Excellent writing, really excellent writing! Feng Langjun is said to be the person who created a generation of writing style. This statement is truly true!"
After hearing Zhang Zhao's words, many people reacted.
Yes, that's Feng Langjun!
After all, he is also a figure who created a generation of writing style. It is normal that we cannot compare with him.
The writing style at this time was a period of transformation that broke through the limitations of post-Han classics.
Not only did the later Tang Dynasty strictly regulate the rules, but at the same time many literati wanted to break through the shackles of Confucian classics.
The rise of Jian'an literature and the later Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove are all representatives of this.
Feng Yong's colorful and changeable articles really opened the eyes of scholars, making people feel like they have opened the door to a new world.
At such a banquet, if you recite Shu people's articles and dominate everyone, you will definitely be hated.
But Feng Langjun...
"I think Feng Langjun's writings are as brilliant as jade. They are magnificent and moving, bold and unrestrained, and elegant like immortals. They are really breathtaking!"
"Otherwise, where does this name of banished immortal come from?"
"Hahaha, it makes sense, it makes sense!"
…
To the monarchs and ministers of the Wu Kingdom, Feng Yong was a stranger, because no one present had seen what he looked like.
But at the same time, he is familiar, because his reputation is really quite big.
More importantly, many people have received many tangible benefits from the Shu Kingdom in the past few years.
Wool and brown sugar are typical representatives.
The source of these benefits can be traced back to Feng Yong.
Having talent and reputation will not only bring no harm to Wu State, but can also benefit everyone.
Good people have a safe life!
Therefore, many people actually have good intentions towards Feng Junhou.
It is only natural to hold Feng Langjun in high esteem at this time.
Good articles respect no national boundaries!
Not to mention the Wu-Shu Alliance at this time.
Sun Quan, on the other hand, asked Qin Lun to recite it again, and then took the paper on which the palace servants wrote down the article and tasted it carefully for a while, then raised his head and looked at the ministers:
"My dear friends, why do I always feel like I haven't finished writing this article?"
"Why don't you finish writing it?"
General Guan Da, who was far away in Longyou, asked the same question.
As the actual controller of the military affairs of Xiaowei Mansion, General Guan Da naturally wanted to pass on the intelligence of Wu State.
However, at this time, Wu State was not considered an enemy of the Han Dynasty, so its importance was not that high.
She doesn't need to know how Zhang Xiaosi operates.
But as long as there is progress or results in this matter, it must be reported and let her know that this is a matter of attitude and principle.
"You can't arouse Sun Quan's curiosity until you finish writing it!"
Zhang Xingyi gently covered her mouth with a small ball fan, came close to Guan Ji's ear, and explained with a chuckle:
"The following sentences: Suddenly my soul is palpitating and my soul is shaking, I am startled and I am sighing. I feel that the pillow of time is missing, and I have lost the haze that always comes. Isn't it obvious that I am dreaming?"
"What if Sun Quan is really dreaming?"
The weather has started to get hotter in June.
Guan Ji's waist and narrow sleeves naturally make her feel hotter than Zhang Xingyi's loose girly outfit.
In this weather, she was too lazy to think. She just glanced at Zhang Xingyi and said, "Then what are you going to do next?"
Zhang Xingyi recognized the look in his eyes, stretched out his fan, and fanned Guan Ji:
"Sister, it's not about what happens next, but I want to see Sun Quan's reaction first, and then we can discuss it with my brother."
General Guan Da was very satisfied with Zhang Xiaosi's low-down appearance. She handed over the paper in her hand, nodded and said:
"That's right. For things like this, we can only say that we should take our time. Even if it doesn't work right now, as long as we can bury an idea in his heart, it might be useful in the future."
Just like at the beginning, although Zhang Xiaosi and his own Alang failed to get engaged, the thread was buried after all. Otherwise, why would I have all the troubles behind?
snort!
Zhang Xingyi put away the paper with one hand and kept fanning with the other hand:
"That's the truth! However, I think it won't take long for me to know whether Sun Quan is curious, or whether he is tempted."
"Oh? Tell me."
Guan Ji was a little curious.
"Then didn't Sun Quan threaten to capture Hefei? If our guess about him is correct, then he will definitely send a letter to my brother, using the excuse of asking about the battle formation to ask about this article."
Zhang Xingyi's eyes shone with a cunning light, like a little fox that had just eaten.
After hearing this, Guan Ji frowned slightly:
"Sun Quan threatened to capture Hefei. In my opinion, I'm afraid it was a fraud. There is a saying in the art of war: Those who are good at attacking move on the nine heavens. Another saying: Soldiers are valuable and quick."
"This is all because we don't want the enemy to know our intentions. Like Sun Quan, he said it in advance. Either the enemy is weak and we are strong, and we want to intimidate the enemy's will, or we have no intention of advancing at all."
Even if the Wei army in Guanzhong suffered a major blow, compared to the number of people deployed by the Han Dynasty in Hanzhong and Longyou, in terms of numbers alone, it was still comparable, let alone the Hefei side.
At least one who is evenly matched cannot escape, and may even be stronger than Wu.
After all, there is no one like A Lang in Wu State.
Alang's evaluation of the state of Wu as "more than conservative but not aggressive enough" is quite appropriate.
It is not a question of whether you are willing to make progress, but whether you have the ability to make progress.
"My little sister doesn't understand military affairs. Regardless of whether he really wants to capture Hefei or not, he already has an excuse to write a letter to ask about my brother."
Zhang Xingyi covered her mouth again and smiled softly, "Who said brother is so famous now?"
Guan Ji also smiled slightly and her eyes fell on a figure not far ahead.
"This mule is good!"
Feng Junhou patted the mule in front of him, stretched out his palm, measured the mule's height, head and tail, and nodded with satisfaction.
Then he turned around and asked Zhou Lu, the "King of Ranch Lu" who was acting as the commentator:
"How many mules are there that can be used now?"
