Chapter 1072 Jingye Thoughts
"Sir Xiao Zhu, I won’t say any more nonsense about the Zajia family. Your Majesty is still waiting for the Zajia family’s reply. Let’s get back to business and start asking questions."
Meng Chong looked at Zhu Pingan with a smile.
"Please."
Zhu Ping'an bowed his hands to Meng Chong, then faced the direction of Xiyuan, bowed and paid homage, and shouted long live.
"Lord Xiao Zhu, the Holy One would like to ask you, before Yang Jisheng presented the memorial, did you read the memorial and make any comments?"
Meng Chong avoided Zhu Ping'an's front, stood a step diagonally, and looked at Zhu Pingan asked.
"Yes."
Zhu Ping'an nodded honestly and did not deny it. He knew in his heart that the incident had already happened and it was useless to deny it. The only people who knew about it that day were Zhou Fangzheng and Zhou Fangzheng. There is also Senior Brother Yang's son, and the servants of the Yang Mansion can also be used as circumstantial evidence. Even the passers-by, shops, etc. that I met when I went to Senior Brother Yang's Mansion from the Linhuai Marquis Mansion in the morning can be used as circumstantial evidence. Breathable walls. During the days when he was in jail, no, even on the day when Zhou Fangzheng made the report, Emperor Jiajing would have found out the truth long ago. Now ask yourself, it is just a formality. If you deny it, you will definitely leave a bad impression. It is better to simply admit it as a bachelor and leave a good impression on the Holy One as someone who dares to take responsibility.
"Haha, Mr. Xiao Zhu is sincere. Before I came, the Holy Father told me that if Mr. Xiao Zhu admits it, let me continue to ask. If Mr. Xiao Zhu denies it, then there is no need for the Za family to ask further questions. ”
Meng Chong looked at Zhu Pingan with a smile and said.
What Meng Chong said made Zhu Pingan break out in a cold sweat. It was really a close call just now.
No need to ask further
What does this mean? There is no need to say more. Fortunately, I had just become rational and didn't pretend to be smart. Otherwise, if I was lucky, I might have been imprisoned. If I was unlucky, I might have been in trouble.
"Lord Xiao Zhu, the Holy Father asked you why you suggested that Yang Jisheng delete 'Or Ask the Two Kings'?" Meng Chong asked again.
"Because I think Yang Jisheng's memorial is wrong." Zhu Pingan replied softly.
"You said 'or ask the two kings' was wrong, so it is recommended to delete it. The part about impeaching Yan Song in the memorial was not recommended to be deleted. Doesn't it mean that Yang Jisheng's impeachment of Yan Song was not wrong?" Meng Chong said nervously. Then he asked again.
"No. It's just that there is no investigation and no right to speak. The guilty minister entered the palace of Prince Yu and knew about Prince Yu's affairs. He knew that Prince Yu followed the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty and did not interfere in the government affairs and did not contact foreign ministers. Therefore, he was guilty. I know that Yang Jisheng's report "or asking the two kings" is wrong. The guilty minister first dissuaded Yang Jisheng from submitting the memorial. Since Lord Zhou Fangzheng was in Yang Jisheng's bedroom at that time, Lord Zhou Fangzheng must have known this very well."
Zhu Pingan replied softly, and in the end he was half serious and half sarcastic. He pulled Zhou Fangzheng out to testify for himself.
"There is one last question left." Meng Chong looked at Zhu Pingan and smiled slightly, and took out a piece of rice paper from his sleeve.
Zhu Ping'an was a little curious when he saw this. Meng Chong heard the news on behalf of the sage. What was he doing with the rice paper? !
"Lord Xiao Zhu, the Holy One said you like to revise suggestions, don't you. Please revise and read this poem by Li Taibai with me. If the revision is good, I can give you a lighter punishment. If it is revised, I will give you a lighter punishment. No, then you should stay in the imperial prison and keep company with Yang Jisheng."
Meng Chong conveyed Emperor Jiajing's last inquiry with a smile, looking at Zhu Ping'an with some sympathy.
Although Meng Chong is serving as the Supervisor of Food and Beverage, in fact he is proficient in literature and calligraphy and is a top student who graduated from the inner hall of the inner court.
Modify Li Taibai’s masterpiece!
In his opinion, the last inquiry from the Holy Master was actually a bit, no, quite difficult.
Who is Li Taibai? Li Bai, the famous "Poetry Immortal". His pen is astonishing and the wind is raining, and his poems are like weeping ghosts and gods! Su Shi once said, "Li Taibai and Du Zimei, with their unparalleled talents, have transcended hundreds of generations, and all poets of ancient and modern times have been eliminated." Li Bai is a legend in the field of ancient poetry. He dominates ancient poetry and no one can match it. Who can change the poems he wrote? Do you want to change it well? !
And.
The poem that the Holy Emperor asked Zhu Ping'an to revise is Li Bai's representative work, a masterpiece that carries the tripod, and is passed down from the previous year's work.
So, Meng Chong looked at Zhu Pingan with some sympathy.
As for the red flying fish uniformed guard next to Meng Chong, he looked at Zhu Pingan like a jackal looking at its dying prey. In his eyes, Zhu Pingan was finished and had completely given up.
Actually, when Zhu Ping'an heard the last inquiry conveyed by Meng Chong, he couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.
Revise Li Bai’s ancient poems? ! Do you want to change it well? !
Isn’t this forcing others to do something difficult?
If it comes to other people's ancient poems, Zhu Pingan is somewhat sure, but about Li Bai's ancient poems, Zhu Pingan is really not sure.
"Please, Mr. Xiao Zhu. Because the Holy One is still waiting for a reply, the Zajia family can only give you a stick of incense."
Meng Chong looked at Zhu Ping'an sympathetically, slowly unfolded the rice paper in his hand, and bent He lowered his waist and showed it to Zhu Pingan.
"Quiet Night Thoughts"
…………
Zhu Pingan looked up at the rice paper, and Li Bai’s ancient poems on the rice paper jumped into his eyes, and then Zhu Pingan’s eyes couldn’t help but His eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, looking like he was stupid.
"Master Xiao Zhu."
Seeing Zhu Pingan's stunned and twitching look, Meng Chong thought that Zhu Pingan was caused by despair and pain, and couldn't help but sympathize with him. This is Li Bai's "Quiet Night Thoughts". Li Bai's classic masterpiece, which I have been exposed to since childhood, has been circulated and praised for nearly a thousand years. A classic is a classic, and no one can change it.
"Huh, huh..."
Seeing this, the guard in the red flying fish uniform couldn't help but snorted with gloating, and the corners of his mouth curled up. In his eyes, Zhu Ping'an was a dying prey. , is already breathing his last breath at this moment.
"Come here, light the incense quickly." The guard in red flying fish uniforms urged his men to light the timed incense.
Looking at the burning incense, the guard in red flying fish uniform looked at Zhu Ping'an like a butcher looking at the fat pig on the chopping board.
However, little did he know that Zhu Ping'an, whom he regarded as a fat pig on the chopping block, was not in despair and pain, but in overjoyed excitement.
If it is Li Bai’s other masterpieces, Zhu Pingan is really not sure, but for this song "Quiet Night Thoughts", Zhu Pingan can no longer be sure. Because the "Silent Night Thoughts" that Meng Chong showed to Zhu Ping'an was the Song version, which was different from the version circulated in modern times. The version circulating in modern times was revised by Zhao Huanguang and Huang Xiyuan in the Ming Dynasty, and revised by the Qing Dynasty. The revised version of "Silent Night Thoughts" is more catchy, has a more beautiful artistic conception, and is more popular among the people and literary circles. It is also the widest, and this has been a collective choice for a long time.
At this time, Zhao Huanguang and Huang Xiyuan were not born yet.
Zhu Pingan looked at the "Quiet Night Thoughts" displayed by Meng Chong, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.
"Quiet Night Thoughts"
Looking at the bright moon in front of the bed, I suspected it was frost on the ground.
Looking up at the mountains and the moon, looking down at my hometown. (End of this chapter)
