Wei Changxian stood upright at the door, looking at Fang Yun arrogantly. His words were very polite. "This general, Wei Changxian, greets Lord Zhang!"
"En, what's the matter?" Fang Yun knew that this person would definitely find fault with him. He glanced at him indifferently and continued to look at the documents. Recently, he had been too busy, even delaying his study time. Fortunately, he had multitasking and Wondrous Book World, so he could let his second divine sense study.
"Nothing, this general just came here to take a walk and see how Lord Zhang is doing."
"Not bad." Fang Yun said casually.
"Since it's not bad, then this general is relieved. However, this general advises you, you'd better stay quietly in the document room. Don't wander around, and don't write poems carelessly. You've been in prison for ten years and have accumulated some literary talent, but it doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want. Our Marshal is very unhappy, and I heard that the higher-ups are also very unhappy. "Wei Changxian looked at Fang Yun with a smile.
"Oh? Then if I'm honest and don't do anything, will the higher-ups let me go? "Fang Yun asked.
Wei Changxian was stunned. He chuckled to hide the embarrassment on his face. "If you're honest, you'll live longer."
"I want to live longer!" Fang Yun said.
Wei Changxian's expression changed slightly. "Don't be wishful thinking! Do you think that if you keep accumulating the Literary Name, the King Of Chu won't dare … cough, you can really wash away your crimes? No, even if you become Xusheng, as long as it's proven that Zhang Wankong is a traitor, your entire family will be executed! I think you shouldn't waste your energy. Your only path now is to beg the King Of Chu for mercy. Maybe you can live a few more years! "
"I only know today that General Wei is such a straightforward person. However, General Wei's arrival has let me know more. Many thanks! "Fang Yun said with a smile.
"You …" Wei Changxian didn't expect Zhang Longxiang to be so attentive. It was precisely because he felt that Marquis Lumen's pressure was increasing that he came here. He didn't want Zhang Longxiang to continue composing poems to increase his Literary Name. Who knew that he would expose his intentions instead?
"You... take care of yourself!" Wei Changxian threw down a sentence and swaggered off.
Fang Yun looked at Wei Changxian's back and his gaze slowly turned cold.
"By publicizing the Literary Name, not only can the Zong and Lei families trust me, but it can also make the King Of Chu hesitate. How could I not know? Now, let me test the King Of Chu's bottom line! "
After Fang Yun finished speaking, he picked up the brush and wrote the three words "Madam Xi" on the rice paper. Just as he was about to write a poem, he stopped and left the document room. He walked towards the main hall of the Marshal's Residence to see Marquis Lumen.
However, on the way to the main hall, Fang Yun was stopped by the guards.
As a last resort, Fang Yun once again went to the backyard of the Marshal's Residence. However, he still couldn't enter and could only leave.
That night, the poem "Madam Xi" caused a sensation in the literary world. The scholars of various countries laughed and talked about it. The scholars of Chu wantonly attacked Zhang Longxiang.
Not with the favor of the present,
Unforgettable old kindness.
Looking at the flowers full of tears,
Can't be reconciled with the King Of Chu.
Madam Xi, also known as Madam Peach Blossom, was a famous beauty during the Spring and Autumn Period. She was the wife of Marquis Xi.
When Madam Xi passed by Cai Country, Cai Hou flirted with her. Madam Xi was furious and joined forces with the King Of Chu to let the King Of Chu send troops to capture Cai Hou.
Cai Hou was resentful and told the King Of Chu that Madam Xi was extremely beautiful. Thus, the King Of Chu went to Xi Country on the pretext of going on a tour. He suddenly attacked and captured Madam Xi.
Madam Xi wanted to commit suicide, but the King Of Chu threatened Madam Xi with Madam Xi's life. Madam Xi had no choice but to marry the King Of Chu.
However, Madam Xi never took the initiative to talk to the King Of Chu.
The entire poem was simple and easy to understand. It praised Madam Xi's determination.
This poem was constantly interpreted by the scholars of various countries.
"Yesterday, 'A branch of red apricot leaves the wall'. Today, 'Looking at the flowers full of tears'. Alas, what kind of bitterness did Zhang Mingzhou experience?"
"This poem has a lot of skill. In my opinion, 'Today's Favor' refers to the current Marquis Lumen, and 'Old Kindness' refers to Zhang Wankong. This is advising Marquis Lumen to forgive people whenever possible. If Marquis Lumen loses favor, he won't be much better than Marquis of Zhujiang. "
"I'm afraid everyone misunderstood. Privately, you think that this is Zhang Mingzhou expressing his loyalty. 'Favor' is an irony. The meaning of the poem should be 'Don't forget the kindness of the King Of Chu because of the hatred now. I and Madam Xi are both nostalgic. However, looking at the spring flowers and thinking of being excluded, I'm afraid I won't be able to talk to the King Of Chu like Madam Xi. 'This poem should be Zhang Longxiang hoping that the King Of Chu will be lenient. Don't force the ruler and minister to be speechless. "
"Nonsense. I think not only is' favor 'an irony, even' kindness' is also an irony. In my opinion, the meaning of the poem should be 'Don't be afraid of the threat of the King Of Chu and Marquis Lumen, causing you to forget the hatred of ten years in prison. When you see the spring flowers and remember the pain of this year, you can't help but cry. You have to be like Madam Xi, not talking to the King Of Chu even if you die!' "
"No, the original meaning of the poem should only be to describe Madam Xi. The first two sentences are in the tone of Madam Xi: 'Don't think that the current favor can make me forget the kindness of the past.' The last two sentences are saying that even in the face of the beautiful scenery of flowers and full moon, Madam Xi is determined not to talk to the King Of Chu. The poet praises Madam Xi's loyalty, and at the same time, he is hinting that if the King Of Chu doesn't clear his name, then he will break with the King Of Chu! "
"Zhang Longxiang is simply rebellious! He actually attacked the ancestor of the King Of Chu, he should be removed from his position! "
"He is too presumptuous. How dare he treat the King Of Chu like this?"
"As a member of the Hanlin Academy, what's wrong with ridiculing the King Of Chu? This shows that Zhang Longxiang has integrity! "
On the literary list, there were all kinds of interpretations. It was very chaotic.
However, because this poem was full of controversy, Zhang Longxiang's Literary Name continued to rise.
After writing this poem, Fang Yun continued to read. When he woke up, he saw that some people had sent him letters, telling him about the current situation in the capital.
This morning, the King Of Chu read this poem and flew into a rage, scolding Marquis Lumen for not being strict with his subordinates.
As usual, Fang Yun washed up and ate. Halfway through the meal, Wei Changxian rushed in with the guards.
"How dare you! How dare you talk nonsense about the King Of Chu! " Wei Changxian was flustered and exasperated. The King Of Chu was angry, so Marquis Lumen was naturally in a bad mood. He was also scolded by Marquis Lumen because of this, suspected that he had angered Fang Yun yesterday.
"Since when can the Hanlin Academy of Kong Shengwen not talk about the feudal lords? Whether it's the King Of Chu or the other kings, they are the same as me. They are all subjects of the Emperor of Zhou. When I criticize the Emperor of Zhou, you can come again. "Fang Yun continued to eat slowly.
Wei Changxian snorted and said, "This general has brought the Marshal's verbal order. You have twelve hours to write a letter of apology!"
"This marquis thinks that writing this poem is not wrong!" Fang Yundao said.
"I knew that you would quibble! However, the reason why the Marshal wrote a letter of apology is not because of this poem, but because of your incompetence! The first sin is that the letter was delayed and caused dissatisfaction among the officers and soldiers. It is very likely that it will lead to a rebellion or even a mutiny. The second sin is that the official documents were repeatedly sent out, which is very likely to cause serious consequences! Just based on these two sins, the Marshal can strip you of your military position. However, seeing that your ancestors have served the country for generations, the Marshal will temporarily let you continue to be in charge of official documents. "
"Then I must thank the Marshal!" Fang Yundao said.
