Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 100
The last stop in Jinan Prefecture is Mount Tai, which is a place of special significance to the emperor.

According to legend, Mount Tai was formed from Pangu's head.The ancients described Mount Tai as "swallowing Xihua, pressing Nanheng, driving Zhongsong, and Yi Beiheng, the longest of the five mountains."

The emperors with outstanding meritorious service in all dynasties have continued to offer sacrifices and sacrifices in Mount Tai.And built temples and carved stone inscriptions on Mount Tai.

The mountains are high into the clouds, and the momentum is magnificent.

When they climbed halfway up the mountain, in the Taishan Temple, the emperor performed a sacrificial ceremony.

I don't know if it was the influence of this kind of knot, or the emperor had never seen such a tall mountain in Beijing, he looked very shocked.

Chen Wenxin gave up climbing to the top before reaching the halfway up the mountain. Fortunately, there were already preparations for the sedan chair on the mountain.

This kind of sedan chair is much rougher than the ones in the palace. It looks narrow, but it is very flexible, and it is just right for use on mountain roads.

First Chen Wenxin got on the sedan chair, and then the oldest Wang Xi couldn't stand it anymore.

The emperor was afraid that he would not be able to bear it, and he did not dare to sit in the sedan chair before the emperor, so the emperor also got on the sedan chair.

Finally, Huang Ji and Lu Zong also boarded the sedan chair.

Only Chen Wenyi remained calm and walked around with the soldiers to guard.

At dusk, they finally reached the top of Mount Tai.

Looking down at the foot of the mountain, the emperor saw the magnificent scenery, magnificent momentum, and great poetry.

The emperor wrote the poem "Deng Dai" on the spot, set up a book case to write on the gold paper, and burned it on the spot to sacrifice to Mount Tai.

Yanyan Daiyue is high and infinite, and climbing Zhiyue is the top.

The road turns to Tianmen and the green mist closes, and the peak returns to the sun to watch the white clouds float.

Zhenyi cuts off Chongling Qianren, and his eyes are vast to distinguish Kyushu.

If you want to be close to your ministers and respect real government, gold, mud and jade will not be kept.

The poems written by the emperor have a different vision from ordinary poets.What he cares about is the land of Kyushu, Jiangshan Sheji.

Chen Wenxin was sitting on the stone chair, her butt hurt so much from being bumped by the sedan chair, and now she didn't even bother to stand up.

The emperor was writing poems, and she was bored reading poems on the cliff carvings.

There are poems left by poets of previous dynasties on the cliff stone carvings, among which is "Wang Yue" written by Du Fu, a poet of Tang Dynasty.

How about Dai Zongfu? Qi Lu is still young.

Chong Shenxiu, yin and yang cut faintly.

Zeng Yun was born with a chest swing, and he decided to enter the home bird.

It will be the top of the list, and the mountains are small.

As she watched and read, Huang Ji and others came to watch, "I said, why can't I find the best song, so it's here with Madam."

She just sat down casually, who would have thought that she was facing this poem.

"This song was originally a good song, but it's rare for Lao Du not to sound sad once in a while."

When Wang Xi said this, Chen Wenxin immediately regained his spirits.

Her graduation thesis in her previous life was written by Du Fu, which is still fresh in her memory.

Chen Wenxin smiled and said: "The tone of this poem is only moderate. Gentlemen, do you know which one is Du Shaoling's least sad poem?"

Wang Xi and Huang Ji are university scholars, and they are proficient in poetry, music and Fu. How could they be defeated by a woman in the palace?

Huang Ji hurriedly answered, "Of course it's "Wen Guan Jun Takes Henan and Hebei". Old Du was wandering and lonely all his life, and was harmed by the Anshi Rebellion. He will be happy when the troubled times are over."

Wang Xi also agreed, "Yes. This poem is known as the first joy of Du's poems."

Chen Wenxin said, "In my humble opinion, this poem is rather sad."

She slowly said: "Jibei was suddenly sent out from outside the sword. When I heard it for the first time, my clothes were covered with tears. It seemed that I was crying from extreme joy, so why not joy from extreme sorrow?"

"This is a man who has been in chaos for a long time. Once the Anshi Rebellion is over, he is still impoverished and his relatives are bereaved and sick."

"In the past, there were troubled times as an excuse, but there was also a belief in looking forward to the stability of the country. Once the war is over, he will have no faith at all."

Her insight into Du Shi's poems surprised the two great scholars.

Huang Ji showed shame, "Madam's words are very reasonable, but it seems that I am following what others say."

Chen Wenxin nodded her head to show her modesty, "Where. What Mr. said is right. I am a boudoir woman, but there are a few false words."

The emperor smiled and tapped her forehead, "It's not a lie. Then tell me, which song do you think is the least sad?"

She thought for a while, "My husband and the gentlemen, what do you think of "Happy Rain on a Spring Night"?"

Wang Xi then read: "Good rain knows the season, when spring happens. Sneak into the night with the wind, moisten things silently..."

Chen Wenxin explained: "This poem is called "Happy Rain on a Spring Night", but there is not even half of the word "happy" in the poem. Although there is no word "happy", there are joy everywhere."

When everyone heard the words and tasted them carefully, they all took them for granted.

The emperor is also a lover of poetry, and he sympathizes with her opinion, "It is this kind of joy that is eager to talk, which is more sympathetic than the ecstasy."

"This poem was written when Lao Du lived a stable life, and his mood was naturally relaxed and happy, not as hard and bitter as when he was old." Wang Xinianxu said.

Huang Ji smiled and said, "Young people are naturally open-minded and optimistic. What do Mr. Wang think?"

These words clearly meant that Wang Xi was getting old.

Wang Xi was the most eloquent, how could he be laughed at by Huang Ji, and immediately retorted: "Mr. Huang is the second oldest in our traveling team, I have the honor to be with you."

The emperor did not dare to bring too old officials with him on tour, for fear that they would not be able to bear the fatigue of traveling.

Wang Xi is considered older, nearly fifty years old.Both Huang Ji and Lu Zong are under forty years old, Huang Ji is half a year older than Lu Zong.

The rest of the emperor, Chen Wenxin and Chen Wenyi are all under thirty years old, isn't Huang Ji the second oldest?

Huang Ji was used to making fun of Lu Zong, but Lu Zong was clumsy and could never refute him.

Today Wang Xi refuted him so much that he had nothing to say, Huang Ji smiled wryly and bowed to Wang Xi, "The villain is rude, please don't blame Mr. Huang."

Wang Xi nimbly jumped to the side, dodging his salute, "Master, look at him, if he makes an apology, he will make an apology, and he will give me such a great gift. The old man is still in good health!"

A bow to the ground is a big gift, which is used to worship the dead among the people.

Chen Wenxin chuckled.

The longer everyone traveled, the more they disregarded etiquette.

That's right, I'm used to being restrained in the palace, but I can't relax outside, it's too boring.

Only Chen Wenyi stood in the distance, holding a sword in his arms, watching her quietly.

"My lord, why don't you talk to the master and the others? I'll watch over here, it doesn't matter."

Yu Jie said confidently: "There are not many people on the top, we have set up defenses on the outside. Tourists will not join us when they see such a big battle."

Chen Wenyi shook his head and did not speak.

Yu Jie suddenly realized, "It must be that you don't understand poetry? Hey, it's okay, I don't know anything wet or dry either!"

Chen Wenyi rolled his eyes at him, with a dangerous aura in his eyes.

"Ah, the weather is so nice."

Yu Jie smiled embarrassingly, walked away while talking to himself.

If he didn't leave, he was afraid that someone would kill him with his eyes.

It took more than half a day to climb to the top. Seeing the sunset on the western mountain, everyone slept in the mountain that night.

There is a Queen Mother Pool on the mountain, which is called a pool, but it is actually a temple.There are houses for tourists to live in the temple.

The emperor had already prepared for the trip to Mount Tai, and the people who arranged to pick him up locally also checked Wangmuchi.

So there were no other tourists in Wangmu Pond on this day, only the emperor and his party, and monks and nuns in the temple.

It was getting late, everyone had a vegetarian meal in the temple, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Chen Wenxin took out the dried meat that was brought out from the palace in the carriage, and sat in front of the window to watch the moon while eating.

Although the vegetarian food in the temple is delicious, if you eat too much, it will still taste very light in your mouth.

Fortunately, she had already prepared and brought out the dried meat.

This jerky is specially made by the small kitchen of Yikun Palace. It uses fresh pork cut into thin slices and roasted into dried meat.Oiled and sprinkled with sesame seeds, the taste is very fragrant.

"Xuan Ye, do you want to eat?"

She knew it was useless to ask, the emperor would not eat meat in the forbidden places of Buddhism.

Sure enough, the emperor frowned, "How can we eat meat here?"

Why can't you eat meat here? She didn't take it seriously to eat in front of the Buddha statue, which is already giving the emperor a lot of face.

Of course, she would not say this directly.

Everyone in the palace believed in gods and Buddhas, especially the emperor.

Seeing how devout he was offering sacrifices in the Taishan Temple, we can know the depth of his faith.

The emperor is an open-minded person, he believes it himself, but he will not force Chen Wenxin to believe it too.

Based on this, she has the obligation not to do anything disrespectful to the gods and Buddhas when facing the emperor.

Chen Wenxin finally stuffed a piece of dried meat into his mouth, and then sealed the small jar containing the meat.
-
When the emperor is away, she will continue to eat.

The emperor faced the moon clinically, with a long body standing tall, his eyebrows fixed in thought.

After a long time, he said: "Nian Nian, I made a poem, listen to it?"

The emperor didn't wait for her to respond, and began to read to himself, "I stayed overnight on Qiaoyue peak, in the misty sky near the clouds. I am lonely and far away from the dust, and I can see the bright moon outside the sky."

"I don't hear the noise of the city, but I only listen to the air. Open up the pavilion and look at it, and everything is abrupt. The mind is leisurely, and the dream is self-surpassed."

This poem and "Deng Dai" written by the emperor during the day do not seem to be written by the same person.

One is bold and magnificent, with the tone of a politician; the other is leisurely and reclusive, full of the spirit of idle clouds and wild cranes.

"This poem reminds me of Su Shi."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "I thought you would think of Mr. Wuliu."

Mr. Wuliu is the name of Tao Yuanming in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

She shook her head and said: "No matter how leisurely the emperor is, he still has worries in his heart. You can't let go of everything like Mr. Wuliu."

"Su Shi is different. He has an article "Journey to Chengtian Temple at Night". Do you remember Xuan Ye?"

The emperor thought for a while, as if he had read it, but couldn't think of it for a while.

"Where is the night without a moon, where is there no pines and cypresses."

After hearing her words, the emperor suddenly remembered, "But there are few idlers like us!"

Su Shi was idle because he was relegated, and so was Zhang Huaimin.

The emperor is idle because of his tour, and so is Chen Wenxin.

He embraced Chen Wenxin in his arms, "You are to me, just like the two of them, you are irresistible."
