Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead
Chapter 332 A Gathering of Heroes
Chapter 332 A Gathering of Heroes
Yang Jiong sat upright, looking a little reserved.
Chen Qingsi marveled at Yang Jiong's age, but did not dare to underestimate his talent.
Among the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, Yang Jiong and Wang Bo were the earliest to become famous. They were both prodigies who could write poems and articles as children, and they were both representatives who became famous as children.
But compared to Wang Bo, who gradually disappeared from the public, Yang Jiong has always lived in the public eye, accepted the tests of the world, and has always been someone else's child among everyone.
Especially last year, his disciple passed the exam.
The Disciple Section is also called the Tongzi Section. In the system of the Tang Dynasty, any child under the age of ten who could read the "Book of Filial Piety" and "The Analects of Confucius" familiarly could take the imperial examination. Those who passed the examination could obtain birth qualifications or be immediately awarded an official position.
As a result, Yang Jiong was not only able to read "The Classic of Filial Piety" and "The Analects of Confucius" familiarly, but he could also narrate the articles in the Six Classics.
Li Zhi marveled at the young hero and directly appointed him to be appointed to the Hongwen Hall. He became the youngest member of the Hongwen Hall and the youngest official, thus becoming famous all over the world.
However, Chen Qingsi had never met Yang Jiong. He only heard that after Yang Jiong entered the Hongwen Hall, he spent all day studying there, eating and living in the Hongwen Hall. He was obsessed with studying and made rapid progress.
Chen Qingsi would never condescend to meet a child, but when she heard the rumors about Yang Jiong, she was slightly looking forward to her first meeting with this child prodigy. It was not because of her admiration for celebrities, but because she wanted to see him because of her appearance. , what Yang Jiong will grow into.
Wang Yang and Lu Luo were the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty. All four of them were pioneers in the reform of the literary world in the Tang Dynasty. Their existence played a decisive role in the culture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
But Wang Bo and Yang Jiong are different from Lu Zhaolin and King Luo Bin. They are one generation apart from each other.
When Lu and Luo were born, it was when Gong style poetry and Shangguan style poetry were most prosperous. The two of them also studied palace style poetry at the beginning, but during their studies, they discovered the shortcomings of palace style poetry and tried to change the style of poetry, thus embarking on the road of change.
Wang Bo and Yang Jiong were younger. After they came of age, the literary world of the Tang Dynasty had begun to change.
Although palace style poetry and Shangguan style poetry are still the mainstream, they also have disharmonious voices. Wang Bo and Yang Jiong followed the disharmonious voices to resist the Qi and Liang culture of the Southern Dynasties.
The development and progress of the times come step by step. The predecessors promoted changes, and the descendants inherited the path of their predecessors, constantly exploring and changing until they embarked on the right path.
Wang Bo and Yang Jiong are the descendants who are groping forward.
Chen Qingsi's situation was special. As a latecomer, he directly promoted the mature poetry and literature of the Tang Dynasty, bypassing the development detours of Gaozong, Wuzhou, and even Zhongzong and Ruizhong for decades.
There are pros and cons to this approach.
Originally, the transition from 1, 2, 3, 4, 56, the reform of poetry and prose was smooth and natural, and did not cause any disturbance, but it just took a little longer.
But now Chen Qingsi has directly abandoned the transition and advanced directly from one to one hundred. The step was too big, which also resulted in no room for relaxation between the two sides, and the two cultures collided fiercely.
But this is also the result Chen Qingsi wants...
So he was looking forward to how a talented man like Yang Jiong, who had devoted his whole life to cultural reform, would perform in the face of a new look.
As a result, Yang Jiong came directly to the door, which surprised Chen Qingsi.
"Little champion!"
Chen Qingsi called Yang Jiong by his nickname. Strictly speaking, he was not the number one scholar in the Tongzi Academy. But he performed so well that everyone called him the top pick.
"Junior is ashamed!"
Yang Jiong's face was slightly red. He dared to accept it in front of others, but Chen Qingsi was a little shy here.
Chen Qingsi has always been a talkative person. Even though he met Yang Jiong for the first time, he was indifferent and asked: "What does the young champion think of the current literary world?"
Yang Jiong's eyes were hot and he said: "This junior thinks that the current literary world can be described by putting the cart before the horse."
He was not timid at all. He was mature and steady beyond his age and even beyond ordinary adults. He still talked eloquently to Chen Qingsi: "Whether it is the palace style or the Shangguan style, they pay too much attention to the duality of tones and rhythms. They talk about the so-called six pairs, Eight pairs, too much attention is paid to the gorgeousness of words and the essence of poetry is ignored. Poems should be about one's own personal experiences, and articles should express true feelings and reveal oneself. As the teacher said, because the Tang Dynasty has the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty, poetry should also be narrow in scope. The world of the palace leads to the vast market, from the narrow pavilions to the mountains and frontiers, and cannot live in one thing."
When Yang Jiong said this, he used his hands and feet and said: "When I first heard about the 'unity of literature and Taoism' proposed by my husband, I was enlightened and felt the same way about the reforms proposed by my husband..."
He said with admiration: "The younger generation wants to follow Mr. and work together to get rid of the habit of idleness in the literary world."
Chen Qingsi was not surprised by Yang Jiong's answer.
Yang Jiong's heart for reform was the most determined among the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, and he could even be described as being able to emerge from the mud without being stained.
There was no Chen Qingsi in history. At this stage, the upper class of the imperial court was dominated by the court poetry style represented by Shangguanyi: without Chen Qingsi, Li Zhi reused Shangguanyi to fight with the Guandong gentry.
Yang Jiong studied in Hongwen Hall since he passed the Children's Science Examination at the age of ten.
Hongwen Hall was the headquarters of Shangguan Yi, and the people around him were all majoring in Shangguan style. Under such circumstances, he broke through the style of Shangguan style and opened up a new style of poetry.
But because of this, Yang Jiong stayed in Hongwen Hall for sixteen years...
But Yang Jiong's ability to stand up and say that he would follow him still shocked Chen Qingsi, and she was also a little moved: "Little champion, do you know what price you will pay for what you said today?"
Yang Jiong said: "Junior knows, and I am not ashamed. Sir, I am indeed young, but I have my own beliefs. During these days in Hongwen Hall, the more I understand the culture of the Southern Dynasties, the more panic I feel in my heart. This is not what I want to learn. My husband's 'unity of literature and Taoism' has allowed the younger generation to see clearly the path they want to take and the smooth road ahead. I really don't want to compromise with those pedantic fools in Hongwen Hall anymore."
Yang Jiong is talented and bold. There are no poems such as "Yellow Crane Tower", "Dapeng", "Shi Shuo" and "Two Poems of Compassion for Peasants" by Chen Qingsi in history. He can still study hard in Hongwen Museum, but now With Chen Qingsi's several cross-era poems, Yang Jiong, who has opened his eyes, no longer despises palace-style poetry, and even despises Shangguan-style poetry.
Seeing his colleagues described as "pedantic idiots", Chen Qingsi thought of the four words "relying on one's talents and being arrogant".
But he didn't have any other ideas. If he had a talent like Yang Jiong, let alone a human, even if a dog barked at him, he would have to scold him back.
"Do you really have no regrets?"
Chen Qingsi did not refuse. With Wang Zha in hand, he was very sure of his chances of winning.
Historically, several people who fell on the road to reform had poor career prospects, so they probably were not targeted.
Yang Jiong really has the courage to follow him, so why not take him to Qingyun Road?
Yang Jiong said loudly: "No regrets."
"Okay!" Chen Qingsi said, "Then you and I will work together to get rid of the frivolous trend in the literary world."
Chang'an opens far away.
Fu Jiamo looked towards the west, like a stone looking at his husband.
Until a familiar figure appeared in his sight.
The visitor was dressed in black, riding a maroon horse, with a long sword hanging from his waist. He was the man he was waiting for, King Luo Bin, who was serving in the army in the west.
"Brother Tourist..."
Fu Jiamo shouted excitedly. King Luo Bin reined in the reins, stopped the running horse, jumped off the horse nimbly, and rushed towards his close friend.
"Long time no see, brother rich, but I'm full of blessings."
Compared with when we parted ways, Fu Jiamo has gained more than a little weight.
Fu Jiamo said: "I am indeed blessed to have two sons." He looked at King Luo Bin who had become thinner, darker, and stronger, and asked: "Is everything okay?"
"I'm happy to miss Shu!"
King Luo Bin gave his answer and said: "Brother Wei was also worried about risking everything to join the army in the west this time. But since arriving at Yumen Pass, everything has changed. Brother Wei saw magnificent scenes that he would never see in Chang'an and Jiangnan. . The troops are strong and powerful, and the momentum is magnificent. General Li also treats me very well, he values and trusts me very much, and I am very happy under his account. "
Thinking of the situation in Beijing, Fu Jiamo hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know who is right or wrong in telling Brother Tour about the situation here."
His belief in reform was unswerving, but he was not sure about the future outcome. King Luo Bin was so happy in the West, but he gave up everything and came all the way, regretting his decision.
King Luo Bin did not answer directly, but took Fu Jiamo's hand and walked towards the stone tablet on the right of the far door.
A huge stone tablet stands quietly outside Kaiyuan Gate. On the stone tablet are engraved nine words "Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Miles to Anxi West".
King Luo Bin pointed at the stone tablet and said: "Only when you go to the west and set foot on the map of Anxi can you truly feel what is recorded on this stone tablet. The magnificent and prosperous age built by thousands of great men in our Tang Dynasty with blood and sweat should have the glory of the prosperous age." Wind. A certain vanguard general under your command, how could he miss such a scene? Now that you are here, you should have no regrets."
Fu Jiamo nodded heavily and said with a bit of incredulity: "Brother Guangguang is not only much more heroic in poetry, but also in people. What do you think? Do you want to go home with me first, or go to see sir?"
King Luo Bin said without hesitation: "I'll go to the rich brother's house to wash up first, and then I'll go visit you. It's too indecent for me to go visit you. I'm so dusty."
Fu Jiamo said: "That's fine!"
King Luo Bin followed Fu Jiamo to his home to wash up.
The rich house is not big, King Luo Bin is in the guest room, and Fu Jiamo is leaning against the doorway to reminisce with him.
King Luo Bin asked: "What is the situation in Beijing now?"
Fu Jiamo said: "It's wonderful."
"What do you mean?" King Luo Bin was very curious.
Fu Jiamo thought for a moment and said: "Now Mr. Chen has not ended up personally, and neither has Shangguan Shilang, nor Xue Shilang. But the people below are fighting fiercely, and both sides have fought on various occasions. In the end, it is Gong Ti, Shangguan The body is decayed and outdated, but the style of the Tang Dynasty is still in its prime, trying to please the public and express their own opinions.”
King Luo Bin asked: "How is the victory or defeat?"
Fu Jiamo said: "It's much better than expected. We were no match at all in the beginning. The other side had too many people and too much momentum."
King Luo Bin didn't find it strange either.
Why study?
Cultivate sentiment?
This is nonsense.
Studying is to become an official.
Only by becoming an official first can you consider other things.
King Luo Bin studied palace style poetry since he was a child, and also learned Shangguan style. This was the fastest way out for scribes like them who were famous for their literary talents.
With the accumulation of knowledge and the improvement of his ideological realm, King Luo Bin began to question the palace body and Shangguan body.
In other places, perhaps due to the popularization of culture, palace-style poetry lacks an audience, but in Chang'an, a place in the capital, palace-style poetry has fans beyond imagination.
If you implement the Tang Dynasty style in places outside the capital, you may get twice the result with half the effort, but if you implement it in the capital, it will really feel like hitting a stone with an egg.
"now what?"
Fu Jiamo replied: "Now with the intervention of Lu Shengzhi and Zhang Mengjiang, the situation has improved. Especially Shengzhi..." He paused and said: "To put it bluntly, Shengzhi His talent is no less than that of Brother Guangfang."
King Luo Bin knew that the Lu Shengzhi mentioned by Fu Jiamo was Lu Zhaolin.
Over the years, he served in the army at Yumenguan in Shazhou. With the glory of the East-West trade route, he never stopped writing letters to Fu Jiamo. When he had a proud work, he would also send it to Chen Qingsi for review and advice.
Fu Jiamo would also send him excellent poems and essays from the Central Plains region to appreciate and read. Among them, the poems and essays of Lu Zhaolin impressed him the most.
Reading his poems, King Luo Bin even felt a sense of sympathy for each other.
King Luo Bin said: "I have admired him for a long time and I can't wait to see him."
Fu Jiamo said: "It's simple. These days, a few of us often get together in private, with General Meng as our advisor. General Meng is Zhang Jianzhi. This man is very resourceful and resourceful. Thanks to his planning, we have succeeded one after another." We have won several battles. Especially ten days ago, under his plan, we deliberately faced off against Shangguan Tingzhi, the son of Shangguan Shilang. Shengzhi relied on his extraordinary literary talent and won the first place with a quatrain... What I feel most is, Shengzhi even composed another poem in Shangguan style at the last minute... and compared the opponent to the other. How wonderful it was..."
King Luo Bin couldn't help but burst into laughter. It is completely conceivable that as the son of Shangguan Yi, the founder of Shangguan Ti, he could not compare with Lu Zhaolin in poetry. Even the Shangguan Ti created by his father could not compare with him...
Don't let this shame go to grandma's house.
King Luo Bin said: "I'm going to pay a visit to you today. Tomorrow, Brother Fu will accept Brother General Meng and get to know me. I'm not talented, so I'm good at palace and Shangguan sports."
Fu Jiamo was silent for a moment.
King Luo Bin just finished washing and walked out of the guest room. He saw Fu Jiamo with a dull look on his face and a bit of worry in his eyes.
"what happened?"
Fu Jiamo sighed: "Mr. Naihe is not good at it."
King Luo Bin was also startled.
When he was in Qingxi County, he had many long conversations with Chen Qingsi, and he naturally realized that Chen Qingsi's literary skills were indeed average.
"How can the words in the book explain what you are capable of, sir?"
Fu Jiamo said: "You know this, I know it, the whole world knows it, and our opponents also know it. They have no choice but to attack you from this weak spot."
King Luo Bin said: "One step ahead, one step at a time, let's go visit Sir first."
He didn't answer, but walked out of the rich man's mansion and walked towards his own battlefield.
