Before the first seven sons raised the banner of "poetry must prosper in the Tang Dynasty, and literature in the Qin and Han Dynasties", Li Dongyang has always been the Wenzong in China, and his literary name covers the great poets of the thirteen provinces. Cui Xie's letter to Lu Juren said that he was appreciated by Li Dongyang and wanted to study poetry under the bachelor's school. Lu Juren was as excited these days as when he was Li Dongyang's student.

Li Dongyang fell in love with his student! And teach him to write poetry!

Why

Isn't it because his students' poems are well-structured, deep, and interesting, compared to today's Taiwanese pavilions that only seek stable workmanship and beauty

Not that he taught well!

After drinking, Lu Juren read the Zhuzhi Ci written by Li Dongyang on Cui Jiabi to Yan Zhifu. He also took the exam paper that Cui Xie had given to Cui Heng as an example, and said energetically, "Students have to study hard and practice hard! Although my student didn't do much paper work earlier, when he asked his younger brother the questions, how could he be too heartless? No matter how talented and memorable he is, he has to rely on the word 'hardworking' to make a living!"

His education has been certified by the prince and the lecturers of the East Palace. Is it bad

Yan Zhifu listened with gusto, and agreed: "It's not a strict arrest! This government sometimes goes to the school to give lectures, and sees that those students can't get into the official school several times a year, and some even come to share the meat and then leave. Yes. For such a careless student, how can they pass the first- and second-class exams in the longitudinal exams?"

Although the students of their palace city dare not compare the prince's schoolwork, they should have nothing to do with the students. Even the one who went out on leave should also reserve a topic when he asked for leave, and submit it when he returns...

When the two talked about teaching, the more they talked, the more consensual they became, the more careful they were, and they forgot their literati profession's poetry and singing.

Although Lu Ju is concerned with education, he can forget poems when he rises up, but when he is not engaged in education, he is still a pure and talented poet...

Although not very romantic, that is also a talented poet.

After reading Li Dongyang's Bamboo Branch Ci, he naturally became very poetic and wrote two Bamboo Branch Ci with the first rhyme. Cui Xie knew that he admired the great talent Li in his heart, so he took out the two poems he had returned, and asked the teacher to comment on it when he went to study with Teacher Li after school.

The reviews are the best, and I can say that Li Dongyang has read his poems, and it can be said that Lu Juren's wish has been fulfilled.

Teacher Li also often instructs the younger generation to learn poetry. Apart from the disciple Cui Xie, there are a group of young poets surrounded by them, and they are also willing to instruct and revise for others. Because of this, Cui Xie took the poem from the past and read it carefully, and then edited and edited a lot of money, even changing the second rhyme into a more flexible Yi rhyme, changing the poem beyond recognition.

But after the revision, the scenery in the poem is much clearer, as if I can really see the drizzle and coolness of Lu Juren's hometown, the green wheat crops everywhere, and the farmers working in the mulberry fields.

Li Dongyang also had a deep understanding of the rhythm, cleared his throat, and sang to him in a low voice: "Chunjin Tianjia (Zhuzhi), Lang Weigui (daughter), Xiaochi Liangyu (Zhuzhi) trying on the clothes (daughter). Garden mulberry green stop. (Bamboo branches) silkworms first ripen (daughter), wild wheat greens (bamboo branches) pheasants begin to fly (daughter).”

Writing it on paper is one feeling, singing it is another.

When Cui Xie read this poem, he only thought it was an ancient poem with a slightly lively rhythm and a line of scenery, but when someone sang it, he had a tactful and low-key affection, as if he was singing the affections of his little daughter.

This poem is also sung, and the song is also sung. Will Mr. Li fill in the song? He unconsciously pondered how to persuade the teacher to revise the repertoire and paint a golden lacquer for his new play.

Li Dongyang finished singing with great interest, and when he looked back to see the student with a thoughtful face, he thought he thought he had edited and edited the two poems, so he explained to him: "Harmony poetry is difficult, second rhyme is especially difficult. If the rhyme hurts the poetic interest, it is better to be discordant than strong harmony. The interest of poetry has nothing to do with the meaning and rationality. There are too many allusions and meanings in your Xixi poems, and the true interest of Zhuzhi Ci has been lost.

No matter how you change it, Mr. Lu is probably only happy that everyone like him can delete and revise his poems.

Cui Xie smiled and said: "The students also think that the poems that Mr. Lu has changed are more beautiful and moving, and they should like it if they come to meet Mr. Lu. The students only know too little about the poems, and this is the first time to hear the master sing Bamboo Branch Poems. It was a big surprise, and I was a little lost for a while.”

Li Dongyang smiled and said, "What's surprising? Poems in ancient times can be sung in tunes, but only after the poems and tunes were lost, ci and tunes were created. Now. I love poetry, and I also have some Wu Yue tunes, but I don't sing very well, and I don't want to show shame in front of your disciples and juniors. "

Cui Xie hurriedly praised him: "Sir's singing is melodious and beautiful, what's not good! The students are also people who have read books for a few years and have seen the world, but they have never heard of others who can sing poetry - even a talented person who knows how to put poetry into music. I've only seen Mr. alone!"

His flattery was very rough, Li Dongyang wanted to laugh at him, "You've only met a few people", but on second thought, he had really seen the world. Not to mention the emperor and the crown prince, just the ministers of the Imperial College, the ceremonies of the wine, the officials of the East Palace, the court officials... He may have seen not many people, but they are all the top literati of the Ming Dynasty.

But among these top literati, when it comes to poetry, he is indeed the best, even his junior brother Yang Yiqing and Xie Qian who snatched the title of champion from Wang He... are not as good as him.

From this point of view, Cui Xie did not deliberately flatter his teacher, but just told the truth.

This truth is pleasing to the ears. When Mr. Li was happy, he asked him, "If you like it, I will teach you too. Zhuzhi's lyrics and tunes are simple and easy to sing, and it will be taught in a few sentences."

He was eager to be a believer, but Cui Xie was born with a lack of five tones and six rhythms. If he was asked to teach him how to tune the rhythm, he would also be able to memorize the relevant scriptures and texts such as "Fan Le, the circling bell is the palace, the yellow bell is the horn, the Taikun is the levy, and the Gushui is the feather" and so on. stand up…

Li Zhaoxian, the young man who was studying in the small study next to him, couldn't bear it anymore, and came over to ask Lord Li to let him go.

The eldest son, Li Zhaoxian, looked at Cui Xie's face, with an old-fashioned look on his small face, and sighed, "I thought my brother was the head of Xiao Sanyuan, and the articles he wrote were vigorous and the discussions were lively, and he should also be good at poetry and music. A romantic figure, I never imagined that my senior brother would not be good at rhythm…”

To say that he is not good is to put gold on his face.

Li Dongyang scolded his son softly: "There is no place for you to talk here! At such a young age, you have accused your senior brother? Why don't you go back and finish today's article, or ask your senior brother to give you a set of papers to do it!"

Li Zhaoxian heard his father tell the story of Cui Xie keeping his younger brother at home to do the quizzes, and turning the unlearned prodigal son into a nerd who can only read; he also heard the story of how the prince in the palace was tireless in reading and did the quizzes every day. Observing Yixing. Hearing the word "paper", his whole body tightened, for fear that such a tragedy would really fall on him, he quickly shut up and left.

Li Dongyang has always been proud of this son whose aptitude surpassed his own. Even though the child was not very particular about his words, he was reluctant to scold him. But he was afraid that Cui Xie told the child to say that, and his face could not be moved, so he comforted: "When writing a poem, as long as you have a piece of music in your heart, you can measure the syllable and rhythm of it, you don't have to be able to sing it yourself. Write down the melody, and fill in the lyrics according to the melody when writing the bamboo branch lyrics. You can do it yourself. I will teach you the melody later-"

In fact, Cui Xie didn't care at all that his younger brother disliked him and went out of tune.

In his last life, he sang better than he is now, and he was able to travel from Beijing to Hebei Province, and he often made jokes among his classmates. Now it’s just another trip from Hebei to Lhasa. Anyway, it’s a bit farther and nearer. It’s a big blow. He was also used to being ridiculed, and he didn't take the big truth of the younger brother to heart.

He smiled lightly and nodded: "This also requires talent to learn well, how can everyone be able to do it? Mr. has been immersed in poetry for many years, and he must be proficient in musical rhythm. I think it is time to be proficient in rhythm? Students listen these days. It is said that there is an excellent chivalrous story outside, and I am thinking of asking someone to make it into a drama, if Mr.

Li Dongyang wanted to refuse, but his son had just ridiculed Cui Xie for not being able to understand the rhythm. Although this student did not care about the rhythm, the teacher should also have a bowl of water and give him some compensation. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "What kind of drama? I'm not very familiar with tunes. Isn't Qiu Jijiu of your national school good at composing northern tunes? Why don't you ask him for guidance?"

When Qiu Jijiu's drama adapted from a big IP was played in the garden, no one watched it. If Cui Xie wrote the script outline himself, if he was asked to change it, it would probably be another main theme drama that no one likes to watch.

Cui Xie couldn't say that the level of Jijiu is not good, he can only say: "Master Jijiu is busy with official business, how can you give me a little student to change a drama? Our master and apprentice are like father and son, I don't want to trouble others, ask teacher Isn't it natural to help me change?"

According to the relationship between the inside and outside, it really should be found this way.

Although Mr. Li doesn't engage in miscellaneous dramas, but he has only learned the title of the world, it is not difficult for him to change the words of the drama. Yin then asked him with a smile: "What is your play about, have you written it? If it's really good, I'll look at it and change it for you—I don't often compose lyrics, so I'll find a few people who do well to help. It's not difficult for you to change."

This is promised! Cui Xie's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "The students just listened to the story and planned to ask someone to write it, but they haven't figured it out yet. If you can get the teacher's advice and change the story, I'm afraid it will be compiled into The drama is even better!"

He cleared his throat and said, "This story begins with a fierce and strange woman who plays the pipa, so the students thought that this drama could be called "The Story of Wang Sanniang's Pipa."

Their "Wu Lun Quan Ji Ji", which is a sacrificial wine for Chinese studies, is all born out of "Pipa Ji". It is not a big mistake for his story to rub off on the title of the play. What's more, although he felt that Xie Qianhu and his Jinyiwei were good people, he also knew what the reputation of Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty was. In such a drama, the audience can't be like later generations. When they hear "Flying Fish Suit" and "Embroidered Spring Knife", they think they are handsome, but they are very likely to call their names to scare them away. But if you use feminine drama names as gimmicks, like "The Legend of Yingying", "The Legend of Huo Xiaoyu", "The Story of the Purple Hairpin", it will attract more people to watch it.

At least look at a beauty!

So his new story is actually a big heroine. The third lady in Wang's mother's family completely changed his personality and became the official daughter of Wang Yaoniang.

Wang Yaoniang's father was originally a small official in a locality, and one year he escorted the tribute of the emperor to Beijing. On the way, the tribute was stolen by black clothes, and his father was exiled for negligence and died of illness on the way. When the Queen Mother heard the news, she also died in mourning. Wang Yaoniang was saddened by the tragic death of her parents, and when she heard that the black clothes had been stolen into the capital, she decided to leave her family and business to avenge her father.

She sold her property to bury her parents, and begged all the way to Beijing by playing the pipa. On the way, she met Feng Yun, the captain of Jinyi Guard, who was inspecting the security of the capital.

The young and handsome male protagonist, Jin Yiwei Feng Yun listened to her story, pity her loneliness, put her in an inn, and want to personally find the black-robed thief for her to take revenge. But it was difficult for him to find the robber in the capital alone, so he had to go to Shangguan, Jinyiwei Qianhu Xie for help.

Master Xie was jealous of evil, and immediately sent people to visit the streets in Beijing to investigate the criminals.

Because of the strict law enforcement of the Jinyiwei, they never hurt the good people when sweeping away the thieves, and they don't take the masses one by one. With the enthusiastic support of the people of the Ming Dynasty, they finally found the clue of the black-clothed thief - it turned out that the black-clothed thief was very fond of women's sex, and often lingered in pubs, prostitutes and other places.

When Wang Yaoniang knew about this, she took the initiative to ask Jinyiwei for his life, and she was willing to set up a beauty plan to help catch the thief.

Feng Yun was reluctant to let her suffer grievances and wanted to find another prostitute to replace her.

Feng Yun was speechless by what she said.

Master Xie hid behind the tent and heard her heart song, and was moved by her bravery, so she offered to help her accomplish this plan. He took out a lot of gold and silver and put her head and face clothes and rouge gouache with her - the clothes belonged to the tailor's house, and the rouge gouache belonged to Jinrongtang. These are all famous shops in Beijing. Most people want to dress up in these two houses. It's not an advertisement in a drama.

In a word, Wang Yaoniang was dressed up brightly and sang in the places where the black-clothed thieves came and went, finally attracting the black-clothed thieves to take the bait. Master Xie asked Feng Yun to accompany her personally to guard her chastity, and sent someone to ambush him outside.

Afterwards, the imperial censor heard about the incident and reported it to the emperor to overturn the case for Wang Yaoniang's parents. In the last scene, Xie Qianhu personally presided over the marriage for the pair of children. In the end, the villain was rewarded with a happy ending.

The story has ups and downs, including the revenge of the virgin girl, the eradication of pornography and illegality, the justice of the court officials, the son of the emperor... In the end, there is a happy ending. Among the several kinds of drama content allowed in the Ming Dynasty, the most popular is the moral drama of Hongxuan and education, which is favored by the ruling class.

He told the story all at once and asked Mr. Li, "Do you think this drama is feasible, sir?"

Li Dongyang pondered for a while, squinted his tongue, and asked him with squinting eyes: "This Pipa Queen is really filial and filial, and that Jinyiwei Qianhu is also a reasonable person... But this Feng Yun is not the husband of Wang Sanniang, he should be the main force. Is it a person who made meritorious deeds? How can I listen to your story, it seems that there is no other than him?"

A big heroine drama, a rimmed male protagonist already has him without him... Besides, he is the chief planner, chief publicist and investor himself, how could a small captain without a prototype steal their soul male protagonist Thank you Qianhu for the limelight!

The author has something to say: Zhuzhi Ci belonged to Li Dongyang, and it was easy to find it. Today I wanted to write about Li Dongyang's poems, but there is still something to write after this drama, so let's delay this paragraph a little bit.
