Chapter 4 Invitation to the Moon Poem!

In the Julius mainland, literati can also master the power of heaven and earth. As long as they awaken their literary courage and condense their literary spirit, they can use attacking methods and destroy the army and kill the enemy. The more powerful the literary spirit, the stronger the literary courage, the stronger the power. Therefore, there is a common saying among the people that "if you have half of the literary spirit of the Analects, you can govern the world."

However, awakening the literary courage is very rare, just like condensing the martial spirit. A human Confucian scholar has been living his life and has only been awakened until his old age. Moreover, due to the differences in personal talent and understanding, the level of the literary courage and martial spirit is different from gold, silver and black. For example, the silver martial spirit condensed by Jiang Yutang, the prince of Jiang Kingdom, ranks second, and can be called a martial arts genius.

The concentration of martial spirit and acquired cultivation are all between fists and feet, and the realm is clear. Every step is to practice hard and hard in the heat and cold.

The awakening and tempering of literary courage are quite different. Since Confucius opened up the era of the great literary spirit of the human race and promoted it by the controversy of hundreds of schools of thought, it has become a definite example for the human race Confucian scholars to absorb literary spirit by reading sages and wise men. After the awakening of literary courage, there are two ways to consolidate it. The first is naturally to continue to understand the words of the sage and explore the secrets of literary theory, such as annotating the Spring and Autumn Annals, reviewing the Analects of Confucius, and reading all the various schools of thought belong to this category; the second is to establish the words of the one family through personal creation, seek the ways of the sage, gather the spirit of the sage, and temper the courage of the literary spirit.

Jiang Zhong gave Su Jin couplets in Chunqiu Pavilion, and his literary spirit was initiated, but because he had not yet awakened his courage to study, the weak literary spirit dissipated after entering his body, and did not attract much attention. The prince of Yutang in the hall frowned in the face of Su Jin's questioning, and was about to refute him, but Prime Minister Yang Xuanmou smiled and said, "Mr. Su is a bad word. Now the whole continent knows that my prince is a martial arts genius from heaven, a silver martial spirit rare in the world. I believe Mr. Su has felt something just now. Although I know nothing about martial arts, I also know that there are only a few people in the world who have both literary and bravery. Isn't Mr. Su's question intentionally force others to force others?"

Su Jin hurriedly said, "I dare not" and asked again: "Can you please see the gentleman who meets this couplet?"

Prince Yutang said unhappily: "Mr. Su has many requests, what exactly does he mean?"

Su Jin made a trepidation and bowed straight, saying, "The foreign minister is frightened, but the foreign minister is really convinced by this couplet, and he is curious. Please forgive me."

Su Jin's intention in this way was very obvious, just to confirm whether Fang Xu was the person who came out of the second couplet.

Prince Yutang sneered: "The couplet is a disciple in my mansion. It is difficult to enter the elegant hall. If you have time in the future, Mr. Su will give you another advice."

Prince Yutang's words meant to deny the possibility of Fang Xu's couplets, because Jiang Kingdom has gone down from Emperor Jiang, no one dared to speak rudely on Fang Xu.

Su Jin knew that there was someone else in the couplet, so he stopped asking questions and bowed and said, "I dare not."

At this time, Emperor Jiang said with a kind look, "Forget it, it's just a pastime for fun. The prince is not good at literary affairs, so he has made a coincidence. Su Qing should not be surprised."

Su Jin bowed in a formal manner and said, "There is no stranger to the Crown Prince for the Foreign Minister."

Emperor Jiang smiled and said loudly: "Tonight I will hold a banquet in the square outside the hall to drink and enjoy the moon with all your families."

The audience shouted in unison: "Thank you Your Majesty!"

At the end of the banquet in the main hall, the prince of Yutang led the envoys of the Nine Kingdoms to visit the Royal Palace of Jiang. Although the Jiang Kingdom is one of the three powerful countries in the mainland, the scenery of the palace is not much different from the other countries. The pavilions, water pavilions, palaces, towers, and strange flowers and trees are mostly similar. Except for the envoys of Liang Kingdom You Xingran, the other envoys are more in vain to serve the affairs.

When the lantern was in hand, he had to walk half of the imperial garden. Since he had to go to the square to watch the moon banquet in the evening, Prince Yutang sent the envoys of the Nine Kingdoms back to his residence for a while.

One hour later, the nine envoys changed their clothes and gathered in the banquet square. The square was brightly lit, as if it were daylight, and the lanterns were like dozens of fire dragons floating in the air.

The princes and ministers who attended the banquet in Jiang Kingdom had arrived, and the banquet was filled with delicacies.

A full moon in silver basin is about to rise, and the light begins to shine on the earth.

The envoys of the Nine Kingdoms sat down shortly after Emperor Jiang came.

A greeting between the king, minister, guests and the host, the banquet officially began. The music of silk and bamboo orchestra slowly spread in the square with the sound of toasting and chatting, floating in all directions.

Jiang Zhong, who was sitting in front of the attic window of the Spring and Autumn Loft, also vaguely heard the music of drumming and squealing and singing, but the sound was as far away as a child's dream.

Jiang Zhong looked up at the bright moon hanging for a long time and found that the moon here was not round either. He moved his heart and began to feel uncontrollably missing his parents and hometown.

"Du Zimei is right, the moon is still brighter in her hometown after all."

I sighed like this and withdrew my gaze. I happened to see a ray of moonlight sprinkling a piece of silver in the room through the window. The familiar five-character poem by Li Taibai who I recited when I was a child suddenly appeared in my mind.

Jiang Zhong got up and walked to the desk, picked up a brush, and drew a little ink on the tip of the pen, and began to write: Quiet Night Thoughts

The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground.

Looking up at the bright moon, looking down at the hometown.

The most widely chanted poem by Li Bai is also an enlightenment poem for countless children. This poem is simple and fresh in language, but has a subtle charm. It is obtained by chance, and it is magical and natural, and it has become the most famous representative work of the theme of homesickness for wanderers.

After writing this poem, Jiang Zhong sighed lightly. Just as he was about to throw the pen, he suddenly felt a vigorous breath rising into the sky.

...

At this time, everyone was in full swing at the square banquet. Emperor Jiang had just played a poem with the envoys of the Nine Kingdoms. Unexpectedly, Su Jin was eager to recite a poem called "Jiang Gongyue" and was the first to be:

The island in the middle of the corner rises, and the bridge sinks far behind the mound.

I love Jiang Gongyue alone and stay here forever.

Poetry itself is ordinary, but what is rare is that it becomes a poem quickly, and there is a hint of literary spirit between the lines.

Everyone was about to savor Su Jin's poem, but suddenly someone shouted: "Someone wrote a poem to invite the moon!"

As soon as the three words "Inviting the Moon" came out, the scene suddenly became a thunderous. Then everyone looked up at the moon, and saw a ray of moonlight gathering into a line and suddenly emerged. The light column immediately fell from the sky, as if it was falling somewhere in the Royal Palace of Jiang Kingdom.

Pointing stars, inviting the moon, and covering the sun, these three strange phenomena are all signs of the birth of masterpieces from generation to generation!

"It's in the palace!"

"Guanwen Palace?"

"No, it should be Wenting Pavilion! It must be a prince or princess who was studying at night, looked up at the moon and felt something, and wrote a poem to invite the moon." A certain Grand Secretary analyzed, then clapped his hands and smiled and said, "The human race has not seen the poem to invite the moon for a long time!"

"In my opinion, the place where the moonlight landed seemed to be different from Wenting Pavilion, but it seemed to be in Chunqiu Pavilion." Prime Minister Yang Xuanmou, who was sitting not far from Emperor Jiang, raised his head and said to himself.

Empress Jiang's expression changed slightly when she heard this. Emperor Jiang pondered for a moment, and then ordered the eunuchs beside her: "Go to Xingchen Pavilion and ask the national teacher where the Yuehua spirit is going to fall."

"Abide by the order." The eunuch bowed and took a few steps back, then turned around and left quickly.

But in just one cup of tea, the eunuch rushed back and reported: "Return to your Majesty, the national master said that the moonlight essence will fall in the Chunqiu Pavilion."

Emperor Jiang turned his head and asked the queen: "Who is in Chunqiu Pavilion? Is it Lao Qi?"
