Chapter 2: Weird Poems and Poems

"It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable!"

While everyone in the Wende Hall was so scared that they bowed to the ground, the Emperor Zhao Yuanwei of the Great Wei Dynasty angrily grabbed the armrest of the dragon throne and refused to let go.

He naturally understood what the eighth son of the emperor, Hongrun, wanted to express in that strange poem: Anyway, Hongrun, I didn't think about being the crown prince, you guys are playing tricks on you, I'm going back to sleep.

Although due to age, Zhao Yuanwei did not include the eighth son Hongrun in the list of candidates for the crown prince. Furthermore, the eighth son Hongrun took the initiative to hint at the throne, which was also conducive to the stability of the royal family and greatly reduced the intensity of the future battle for the throne. It is a good thing for the clan and the country.

But the problem is that Hongrun just underestimated the withdrawal of the crown prince's struggle, which made Zhao Yuanwei feel unacceptable.

That is the throne, the throne of the Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty. Why do you, Zhao Hongrun, abandon it casually? It's like throwing away a pair of torn shoes?

What Zhao Yuanwei couldn't let go of the most was the word "haha" in the strange poem, which seemed to be a great sarcasm to the Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty!

It seems that the true meaning of that poem is: Hahaha, I, Zhao Hongrun, disdained the throne, so I just went to fight for it and I went back to sleep.

Yes, disdain!

Zhao Yuanxi, the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, felt the meaning of disdain from the sentence "Haha", which was the most unbearable thing he could not bear!

After all, the throne of the Great Wei family was the foundation left by the ancestors of the Ji family, and all emperors and clans worked hard for the foundation of their ancestors. Why is the throne so insignificant in your eyes of Zhao Hongrun? Does this mean that the foundation of our ancestors is not worth mentioning in your eyes?

"Arrogant! Arrogant!" Zhao Yuanwei slapped the edge of the dragon throne and cursed angrily: "Tear me up the strange poem of the rebellious son!"

The little eunuch who was reciting poetry immediately wanted to tear the paper that Hongrun wrote the strange poem. Suddenly, someone in the hall shouted anxiously: "Don't tear!"

The little eunuch was stunned when he heard this. He looked up and found that the person who called him was the Sixth Prince, the famous royal family "Qilin Son", Hongzhao.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuanwei was also puzzled and looked at the sixth son, Zhao Hongzhao, who was most beloved among the princes, in confusion.

Hong Zhao bowed and said, "Father, can you give that poem to the emperor?"

Before Zhao Yuanwei could speak, Hongxuan, who had a close relationship with Hongrun, could no longer bear it. He lowered his voice and said with anger: "What does the Sixth Prince mean? Do you want my starling to continue to make a fool of himself?"

Zhao Hongzhao smiled slightly when he heard this, and recalled Hongxuan and said, "What does it mean to continue to make embarrassment? Although the poem by the Eighth Emperor Brother is strange in style, it has a lot of charm. In my opinion, it is written very well. What does it mean to make embarrassment? What does it mean to continue to make embarrassment?... The free and easy feeling in the poem is not something that you can understand when you are young, ninth brother."

Seeing that Zhao Hongzhao was not trying to get rid of the bad, Hongxuan breathed a sigh of relief, but he was a little disliked by the sixth brother's words and muttered to himself: Why are you, Zhao Hongzhao, only five years older than me!

Zhao Hongzhao's words made the Grand Secretary in the hall stunned, and even Zhao Yuanxi, the Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, was surprised.

Zhao Yuanxi waved his hand and told everyone in the hall to calm down, then asked with an expression: "Hongzhao, do you say that your eighth brother's strange poem is well written?"

"Not good, it's great!" Zhao Hongzhao shook his head and commented: "The father must have been angry about the last sentence, but in the eyes of the emperor, the last sentence of the strange poem is the finishing touch of the whole poem! Whether it is the sentence "Everyone in the world says that the prince is good, but the prince is hard to be a prince", or "I have gotten up before the concubine's son, but I have gotten up before I get up, and I have not slept yet", it is not as good as the last sentence "Haha, let him go"! Especially the word "Haha" is simply a stroke of magic, with extraordinary meaning and endless aftertaste. Even if there are thousands of words, it is difficult to express the meaning of the word "Haha" full of."

Looking at Zhao Hongzhao's intoxicating expression, the grand scholars in the hall were silent. Even the Emperor Zhao Yuanxi, the Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, who was furious just now, could not help but savor it carefully.

You should know that Zhao Hongzhao was born to be a Qilin son. Although he was young, he was not as talented as those great scholars. The poems he wrote were highly praised by scholars. Even the deceased Shilin Academy, Wang Linzong, the former Grand Historian of Hanlin Academy, also exclaimed: Are there people born to know it?

Regardless of whether this rumor is exaggerated, it is undeniable that the sixth prince of the emperor Zhao Hongzhao is hailed as the most outstanding talent in Chendu Daliang, and his reputation among the scholars is far greater than that of the other princes. Even the great scholars of the Hanlin Academy dare not claim to be qualified to serve as lecturers for this Qiliner.

The Emperor Zhao Yuanxi of the Great Wei Dynasty also loved him very much because of his talent. Otherwise, Zhao Hongzhao was eighteen years old this year, so he could have left the palace long ago, so he would not have to stay in the palace. The reason why the Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty left this son in the palace was simply that he could not bear to leave him.

Not to mention, after the analysis of Zhao Hongzhao, the Qiliner, Zhao Yuanxi once again savored the strange poem and realized a bit of free and easy meaning. As Hongzhao said, the word "haha" aside from the sarcastic meaning, it really has a kind of artistic conception of "although thousands of words are not enough to explain".

Originally, Zhao Yuanxi thought that the most outstanding sentence in this strange poem was "I have already gotten up before the concubine's son got up, and I have not slept yet." But now, this sentence is really not as good as the word "haha".

Of course, I don’t know that everyone agrees with the Sixth Prince’s remarks, but more people disagree. For example, those great scholars did not think that the poem was outstanding. The whole poem was weird, and the previous and next sentences were not very rhyme. The number of words in each sentence was even strange, with four characters, six characters, and seven characters. The whole thing was messy and messy.

But they didn't talk much. Maybe in their opinion, Zhao Hongzhao was just trying to smooth things over. After all, Zhao Hongrun's strange poem made the emperor furious. Now that he can reveal the past and not mention it, who would be stupid to be serious?

In response to this, Zhao Hongzhao could only shake his head. He could only say that these people were not in a good state and could not understand the profoundness of his eighth prince's poems.

While carefully folding the paper and putting it into his sleeve, Zhao Hongzhao was thinking about when he would visit his eighth brother. No matter what others thought, this novel poetry style really interested him.

The restlessness caused by the song "The Unrest in Wende Palace" was revealed by Zhao Hongzhao, and everyone in the palace just thought it had never happened.

But because of this, Zhao Yuanxi gradually became interested in his eighth son, Zhao Hongrun.

He suddenly wanted to take a look at Zhao Hongrun's "The Wealth of Nations" to see if this eighth son is really as outstanding as his beloved son Zhao Hongzhao said.

However, he dared not let people read it anymore, so as not to make any mistakes.

So, the Emperor of the Great Wei took advantage of the convenience of accepting the achievements of several emperors and slowly walked to the test paper of the eighth son Hongrun, and pretended to be careless and picked up another piece of paper on it.

But just a glance, the Emperor of Wei frowned.

This time, I don’t care about writing well or writing poorly. The reason is that the article “The Wealth of the Country” by Yasuko Hirorun is too simple, with only four words throughout the article, “The people are rich and the country is strong.”

It's simply a perfunctory work.

"A shitty thing!" Zhao Yuanwei couldn't help but mutter, and thought in his heart that his beloved prince Zhao Hongzhao was probably misleading. This Bazi Hongrun doesn't look like a talented person? He is obviously a fool!

But when Zhao Yuanwei was angry and prepared to leave Yazi Hongrun behind and inspect the test papers of the other princes, he suddenly seemed to realize something, picked up the piece of paper and read it carefully.

"The people are rich and the country is strong?"

After reading it carefully several times, the Emperor of Wei was stunned.

You should know that the common saying in the secular world is "the country is rich and the people are strong", while the eighth son Hirorun wrote "the people are rich and the country is strong". Although it seems that the order of two words has only changed, the meaning of it has become completely different.

But he did not delve further, while muttering "bastards" in a low voice, confusing the sight of the rest of the hall, while quietly holding the paper into his cuffs.

Because those four words have a lot to do!

Most of the people in the hall laughed secretly because of the Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty's words "bad" and thought that the eighth prince Hongrun had written some embarrassing articles, but few people noticed the action of Zhao Yuanwei taking the paper into the cuff of the dragon robe, such as the second son of the emperor "King Yong" Hongyu, the third son of the emperor "King Xiang" Hongjing, and the sixth son of the emperor "King Qilin" Hongzhao.

I have to say that after reading Hongrun's sentence "The people are rich and the country is strong", the rest of the prince's "The Wealth of the Country" made the Emperor of the Great Wei feel a little boring. Whether it is the normal theory of saints, the relatively domineering "the strategy of strengthening the country with martial arts", or the pros and cons of the court's policies, even if it is written in great detail, it makes the Emperor of the Great Wei feel like it is tickling the boots.

The sixth son Hongzhao, who was most favored by Zhao Yuanwei, wrote the most outstanding theory of the country, and he pointed out the pros and cons of the court's various policies. But even so, it was not as good as the article of Eight son Hongrun's only four words.

Of course, even so, Zhao Yuanwei ordered the articles of the six sons Hongzhao in this imperial examination, which were the most outstanding, and asked the princes and the grand scholars to circulate each other.

After all, Zhao Yuanwei felt that the "On the Strong Country" with the four words "Ba Zi Hongrun" was not suitable for raising it.

But one thing the Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty has confirmed is that his eighth son Hongrun, just as the sixth son Hongzhao said, is indeed talented!

After the imperial examination was completed, the Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty rewarded several princes with outstanding writings, and also rewarded the sectarian great scholars who taught them their knowledge. After that, Zhao Yuanxi asked them to retreat one after another.

Sitting on the dragon throne in Wende Hall, only the eunuch Tong Xian was serving him beside him. At this time, Zhao Yuanxi couldn't help but take out the paper and looked at the four words "The people are prosperous and the country is strong" written on the paper.

I don’t know how long it took, but the eunuch Tong Xian whispered, “Your Majesty, the time is here, it’s time to move to the Chuigong Hall.”

"Well." The Emperor of Wei nodded.

The Chuigong Hall is a palace where the Emperor of the Great Wei handled the government affairs and approved memorials. It means "Chuigong and rule". It is probably because the first emperor of the Great Wei hoped that his descendants would do nothing. The Great Wei was also a fair wife, so the palace where the Emperor of the Great Wei handled the national affairs was named the Chuigong Hall.

But in fact, all the emperors of the Great Wei Dynasty, who were wise and wise, were almost exhausted in this Chuigong Hall, so this name is actually quite ironic.

When the Emperor Zhao Yuanwei of the Great Wei Dynasty moved to the Chuigong Hall, three ministers in the hall were already helping to approve memorials. These three ministers were the 60-year-old Zhongshu Ling He Xiangxu, the first-year Zhongshu Left Chief Lin Yuyang, and the right-level Chief Yu Ziqi.

These three officials of the Secretariat who assisted the Emperor of the Great Wei to approve memorials. They do not belong to the palace ministers. They can be understood as personal aides of the Emperor of the Great Wei. Although their powers are not as good as those of the Secretariat and generals, their status is transcendent. After all, this is an official of the Secretariat and the "inner court minister" of the Emperor of the Great Wei. Many key policies that require deep consideration are mostly discussed and concluded with these "inner court ministers".

Of course, for some government affairs involving the six ministries, the Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty would also convene the six ministries to join the inner court.

As for the daily morning court, it is actually a routine matter in which the ministers of various departments report their work to the Emperor of the Wei Dynasty and other colleagues, or a show for some political needs, which can truly determine the national policy of the Wei Dynasty. It is the "inner court" set up by the Emperor of the Wei Dynasty in the Chuigong Hall.

Because the internal dynasty has a transcendent status, the memorials and memorials presented here are basically important matters related to the entire Wei country. For example, the guards on the border were harassed by the enemy country and could not swallow their anger and wanted to fight back. Such major events that would provoke war between the two countries would not be able to dominate the Ministry of War.

The memorial of the border guard will be submitted to the Secretariat, which is the Chuigong Hall, which will be decided by the Emperor of the Great Wei. If the Emperor says to fight, then fight. If the Emperor says not to fight, the Emperor can only endure this tone.

As for disaster relief and food release, such urgent matters as 100,000 yuan will not be submitted to the Chuigong Hall. The Ministry of Revenue under the Secretary of the State will handle this matter on its own. Officials of the Ministry of Revenue will immediately order the mobilization of food and disaster relief after receiving the emergency documents from the local officials. Otherwise, if even such matters have to go through the morning court or the inner court, the victims will starve to death.

Therefore, the government affairs handled in the Chuigong Hall are basically those things that are not very urgent, but are related to the rise and fall of the national strength of the Great Wei for a long time in the future, namely national policies. For example, digging rivers and canals, building imperial tombs, increasing and reducing taxes, or establishing diplomatic relations with other countries, forming alliances, etc.

Of course, in addition to this, the Secretariat of the Secretariat must assist the Emperor of the Great Wei to supervise the work of the six ministries of the Secretariat, and approve some recent incidents submitted by the six ministries one by one. If there are omissions or deficiencies, they will be sent back to the ministries and let them make corrections immediately. In general, there will be mistakes and corrections, and if there is no one, it will be commendable.

Although it is just a final approval step, the workload is actually huge. Even with the assistance of officials from the Secretariat, the emperors of the Wei Dynasty were almost exhausted and vomited blood, as if they were reading various memorials and memorials every day, and reviewing the work status of each department.

The work of the entire six ministries involved the entire Wei Dynasty. Almost every day, hundreds of memorials and memorials were submitted to the Secretariat. It is no wonder that the Emperor Zhao Yuanwei of the Great Wei Dynasty was gray at the age of 42.

"His Majesty."

Seeing Zhao Yuanwei, the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, walking into the Chuigong Hall, the Secretary of the Secretariat He Xiangxu, the Secretary of the Secretariat Lin Yuyang, and the Secretary of the Secretariat Yu Ziqi, the Secretary of the Secretariat Yu Ziqi, quickly got up and bowed.

"No gift." Zhao Yuanxi waved his hand, walked to his Zhanglong case and sat down.

At this time, the three ministers of the Secretariat in the hall had placed some more sensitive memorials on the dragon table, piled up in piles, and the ground was extremely high, and there were probably dozens of them at a rough count.

This is not the end, because during the process of the approval of the seals and folds by Zhao Yuanwei, the six ministries of the Secretariat successively sent people to deliver the latest seals and folds to the Chuigong Hall. After the preliminary trial, the three Secretariat ministers selected the more sensitive ones and presented them to the Dragon Case of the Emperor of the Great Wei.

This is a cycle of recurring cycles. Even a wise king like Zhao Yuanwei would not have to handle all the memorials on the Dragon Case. If one day there are no memorials on the Dragon Case and the memorials, it means that the Wei Dynasty is about to destroy its country.

After two or three hours, the seals on Zhao Yuanshilong's case did not decrease.

Looking at the piles of seals on the dragon table, the Emperor of the Great Wei sighed with emotion: "Everyone in the world says that the Emperor is good, but he doesn't know that the Emperor is also hard to be..."

After hearing this, the three ministers of the Secretariat stopped their pens and looked at Zhao Yuanxi at the same time, praising them one after another.

"Good sentence!"

"Good sentences, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yuanxi stroked his beard, pondered for a while and said, "I got up before all the officials got up, and all the officials got asleep. I haven't slept. I'm not as good as a wealthy man from Longyou, who is still wearing a quilt when he is taller than five feet a day."

The three ministers of the Secretariat were moved when they heard this. After all, Zhao Yuanwei's poem could no longer be measured by good or bad.

The three of them left the table and bowed, shouting: "Your Majesty, the wise lord, my great Wei has Your Majesty here, it is really a great destiny! The blessing of the Great Wei, the blessing of the country, and the blessing of the people!"

"What are you doing? Get up quickly, I'm just complaining."

Zhao Yuanwei waved his hand and asked the three ministers of the Secretariat to get up. In fact, he was also happy at this moment. After all, he just changed the poem of Yazi Hongrun and added a few sentences, and then happily vented the depression of the past ten years.

"Your Majesty seems to be very interested in poetry today." The Secretariat Ling He Xiangxu said with a smile while stroking his white beard. Although he felt that the style of the poem was not from the Book of Songs, he naturally would not talk much when he saw that the emperor was very happy.

"Where, I am..." Zhao Yuanwei was about to say that he was just inspired by the strange poem by Eight Son Hongrun, but suddenly his heart moved. He took out the piece of paper written by Hongrun from his sleeve, and asked three ministers from the Secretariat to come to his side, asking, "Three dear ministers, what do you think of this sentence?"

The three ministers of the Secretariat walked to the Long Case curiously and looked at the paper on the Long Case.

"The people are rich...the country is strong?"

Suddenly, the three ministers of the Secretariat looked at each other, and their faces changed slightly.

They look at me, I look at you, no one dares to offend.
