“Lord Xiao Zhu, I won’t say any more nonsense, His Holiness is still waiting for a reply from the miscellaneous family. Let’s get back to the point and start the questioning.”
Meng Chong looked at Zhu Pingan with a smile.
“Please.”
Zhu Pingan arched his hand to Meng Chong, then faced the direction of the Western Garden and performed a great salute, calling out three times.
“Little Lord Zhu, His Holiness asks you, before Yang Jisheng submitted his report, did you read the report and give your opinion?”
Meng Chong avoided right in front of Zhu Pingan and stood a diagonal step away, looking at Zhu Pingan and asking.
“Yes.”
Zhu Pingan honestly nodded, did not deny, heart clear east window has been issued, deny also useless, that day know this matter, in addition to Zhou Fangzheng and Yang brother’s son in, in addition to the subordinates of the Yang House can also be used as a circumstantial evidence, and even his own morning himself from the Marquis of LinHuai House to go to Yang brother’s house encountered by passers-by, shops and so on can be used as a circumstantial evidence, there is no impermeable wall in the world. I squatted in the Imperial Prison these days, no, even Zhou Fangzheng uncovered the report of the day, Jiajing Emperor estimated that the truth has long been found out. Now come to ask yourself, but is just going through the motions, if you deny it, will certainly fall into a bad impression, it is better to simply barefaced admit, but also in the saint that leaves a good impression of the daredevil.
“Oh, small Zhu adults honest. Before I came, His Holiness explained that if Little Lord Zhu admitted it, he would let me continue to ask, and if Little Lord Zhu denied it, then I wouldn’t have to ask.”
Meng Chong said as he looked at Zhu Pingan with a smile on his face.
What Meng Chong said made Zhu Pingan’s back instantly break out in a cold sweat, just now it was really close.
There is no need to ask down the line ……
There’s no need to say more about what that means. Luckily, he had just been sensible and did not act smart, otherwise, if he was lucky, he was afraid that he would have to sit through the imperial prison, and if he was unlucky, he was afraid that he would already be cold.
“Lord Xiao Zhu, His Holiness asked you, the reason why he suggested Yang Jisheng to delete ‘or ask the two kings’?”Meng Chong asked again.
“Because I feel that in Yang Jisheng’s zangsheng, this point is wrong.”Zhu Pingan returned softly.
“You said that ‘or ask the two kings’ was wrong, so you suggested deleting it. That the impeachment of Yan Song in the zhang rustic was not suggested to be deleted, doesn’t it mean that Yang Jisheng impeached Yan Song and was not wrong?”Meng Chong asked immediately afterwards.
“Not. Just, there is no investigation has no right to speak, the guilty minister into the Yu Wang House, understand the Yu Wang matters, know that the Yu Wang rigorously abide by the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, one does not interfere in the imperial government, the second does not contact foreign ministers, so the guilty ministers know that Yang Jisheng rustling ‘or ask the two kings’ is wrong. In addition, the guilty minister was the first to dissuade Yang Jisheng from submitting the petition, and since Lord Zhou Fangzheng was in Yang Jisheng’s bedroom at the time, then this must have been clear to Lord Zhou Fangzheng.”
Zhu Pingan softly replied back, and in the end, half seriously and half sarcastically pulled Zhou Fangzheng out to testify for himself.
“There is still one last question left.”Meng Chong looked at Zhu Pingan and smiled slightly, taking out a piece of rice paper from his sleeve.
Zhu Pingan saw this and was a little curious, Meng Chong had sniffed on behalf of the saint, what would this fetch the rice paper out for?
“Little Zhu Ta-Jen, the saint said that you don’t like to revise suggestions, this poem of Li Taibai, you change it with me, if it’s good, I can be lenient with you, if it’s not good, then you will stay in the imperial prison to be a companion with Yang Jisheng.”
Meng Chong smiled as he conveyed Emperor Jiajing’s last enquiry, looking at Zhu Pingan with a somewhat sympathetic gaze.
Don’t look at Meng Chong serving in the Shang Cuisine Supervisor, in fact, he was proficient in writing and ink, and was a high achiever who graduated from the inner court’s inner study hall.
Revision of Li Taibai’s great works!
In his opinion, this last enquiry from His Holiness was actually a bit, no, it was quite difficult.
Who is Li Taibai, Li Bai, the famous “Poetry Immortal” ah, pen down shocked the wind and rain, poetry into a ghost ah! Su Shi said, “Li Taibai, Du Zimei to Ying Wei absolute world, Ling across the hundred generations, the ancient and modern poets are abolished”, Li Bai is the ancient poetry session of the titan of the legend, the domination of the ancient poetry, no one can match. He did the poem, who can change? And how can you change it?
And.
The poem that His Holiness asked Zhu Pingan to modify was Li Bai’s representative work, his masterpiece, the work that had been recited the year before.
Therefore, Meng Chong’s gaze towards Zhu Pingan was somewhat sympathetic.
As for Meng Chong’s side of the big red flying fish suit brocade guards look at Zhu Pingan’s gaze, like a jackal looking at the dying prey, in his eyes, Zhu Pingan has finished, completely cool off.
In fact, when Zhu Pingan heard the last enquiry conveyed by Meng Chong, his heart could not help but thump.
Modifying Li Bai’s ancient poem? And also change it for the better?
Wasn’t this forcing someone’s hand.
If he were talking about other people’s ancient poems, Zhu Pingan still had a few degrees of certainty, but Li Bai’s ancient poems, Zhu Pingan was really unsure.
“Little Lord Zhu, please. Because His Holiness is still waiting for a reply, the miscellaneous family can only give you one incense stick of time.”
Meng Chong looked at Zhu Pingan sympathetically, unfolded the rice paper in his hand slowly, and bent down to show it to Zhu Pingan.
‘Silent Night Thoughts’
………………
Zhu Pingan raised his head to look at the rice paper, Li Bai’s ancient poem on the rice paper jumped into his eyes, then Zhu Pingan’s eyes couldn’t help but widen, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch, he looked as if he was stupid.
“Little Lord Zhu ……”
When Meng Chong saw Zhu Pingan’s glazed eyes and twitching mouth, he thought that Zhu Pingan was due to despair and pain, and he could not help but feel even more sympathetic. This is Li Bai’s “Silent Night Thoughts” ah, from the beginning of the childhood enlightenment to contact Li Bai’s classic masterpiece, has been passed down in praise for nearly a thousand years, the classic is the classic, who can change it.
“Hmph, heh ……”
Seeing this, the big red flying fish suit brocade guard couldn’t help but gloat and hum, the corner of his mouth also hooked up, in his eyes, Zhu Pingan, the dying prey, was already breathing his last breath at this moment.
“Come on man, quickly light the incense.”The Big Red Flying Fish Suit Brocade Guard urged his men to light the timed incense.
Looking at the burning incense, the Big Red Flying Fish Suit Brocade Guard looked at Zhu Pingan as if he was a butcher looking at a fat pig on a chopping board.
However, he did not know that Zhu Pingan, who he regarded as a fat pig on the chopping board, was not in despair and pain, but was overjoyed and excited.
If it is Li Bai’s other masterpieces, Zhu Pingan is really not sure, but this “Silent Night Thoughts”, Zhu Pingan can no longer be sure. Because, the “Silent Night Thoughts” that Meng Chong showed Zhu Pingan was the Song version, which was not the same as the version circulating in modern times. The version circulating in modern times was the version formed after the modifications of Zhao Hanguang and Huang Xiyuan in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the revisions of the Qing Dynasty. The cultivated version of “Silent Night Thoughts” was more catchy, with a more beautiful meaning, and was more popular in the folklore and the literary world, which was the collective choice for a long time.
And at this time, Zhao Huan Guang and Huang Xi Yuan hadn’t even been born yet.
Zhu Pingan looked at this piece of “Silent Night Thoughts” displayed by Meng Chong, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked up.
‘Silent Night Thoughts’
Looking at the bright moon in front of my bed, I suspect it is frost on the ground.
Looking up at the mountain moon, looking down thinking of my hometown.
