Chapter 016 No need for seven steps to become a poem
Daxing Palace.
Imperial Garden.
In a sea of colorful flowers, pavilions, towers, small bridges and flowing water are full of poetry and painting.
In a pavilion, Yang Guang was playing chess and Go with his queen Xiao.
Suddenly, an eunuch came slowly and stood beside Yang Guang and whispered: "Your Majesty, the Hu Ben Lang General Qin Mu is already waiting outside."
"Oh, let him in."
"promise."
Soon, Qin Mu slowly walked into the imperial garden.
In front of Emperor Yang Guang, Qin Mu was still a little restrained.
There is no way, as the saying goes, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger!
If you are not careful, Qin Mu will risk losing his head!
Fortunately, Yang Guang did not have the tyrannical act of killing innocent ministers indiscriminately. As long as he did not make big mistakes, his life could still be preserved.
"My minister Qin Mu, I have seen Your Majesty!"
"Long live my emperor!"
When Qin Mu saw Yang Guang, he did not kneel down, but bowed and bowed respectfully.
In this era, although the emperor's centralization had been greatly strengthened, his authority was very great.
However, the legacy of the ruler and ministers who have been passed down from ancient pre-Qin periods is still there.
When the subjects were not as clear as the mites, they had to kneel down when they saw the emperor and asked him hello, and they had to kneel down when they followed the orders...
Ministers also have self-esteem!
"No gifts, flattery."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Qin Mu then stood up straight, but he was slightly owing, making him look down and pleasing to his eyes.
When he saw Qin Mu, Yang Guang looked smiling. He reached out to the beautiful woman next to him and said, "Qin Mu, you haven't seen my queen yet?"
"My minister Qin Mu, I have met the Empress!"
"Empress, thousand years, thousand years, thousand years, thousand years, thousand years, thousand years, thousand years!"
Qin Mu still saluted.
Qin Mu has learned the etiquette that should be found.
Empress Xiao waved her hand and asked Qin Mu to be exempted from the gift and to be calm.
"Your Majesty, is he the General Qin Mu who killed Goguryeo's general Yizhi Wude and defeated three Turkic warriors in a row?"
"It's him."
Empress Xiao looked at Qin Mu for a while and said with a smile: "It's really a handsome face and full of heroism. It's a blessing for your Majesty to get this powerful general, and it's even more for your Majesty!"
"The Empress is too honored. I am ashamed of you."
Qin Mu seemed very modest.
When replying, Qin Mu still couldn't help but feel curious, lowered his head, and looked at Empress Xiao who was sitting gracefully on the stone bench.
She wore a light-colored green smoke shirt, a pleated skirt with flowers, water mist and green grass, and three thousand black hair tied up a loose cloud bun, and casually wore a light purple belt.
Her waist was loosely tied with a light green palace, and a simple but not vulgar step was inserted obliquely. Her eyebrows were still a little cinnabar, and her graceful figure was graceful...
Queen Xiao is about the same age as Yang Guang, she is already a grandmother, but she is naturally beautiful and well-maintained, so she looks like a beautiful woman in her early thirties!
As the saying goes, the faces of humans and peach blossoms complement each other!
Empress Xiao’s pair of peach blossom eyes made people unable to help but fall deeply into it after just looking at it.
Really charming!
Qin Mu didn't dare to look at it anymore, and lowered his head.
"Why."
Yang Guang waved his hand and said, "Qin Mu, you don't have to be too humble. Your courage should be no less than Yuwen Chengdu!"
"What is even more valuable is..."
Yang Guang smiled slightly, pointed at Qin Mu again, and said to Queen Xiao: "Empress, you definitely don't believe it when you say it. Qin Mu is not just able to charge forward, but it's as simple as commanding troops!"
"Even this literary talent is outstanding."
"oh?"
Empress Xiao was intrigued.
In the great Sui Dynasty, there are not a single talent who is both civil and military, but there are only a handful of people who can get such praise from Yang Guang!
In this way, Qin Mu must have his outstanding qualities!
Yang Guang glanced at Qin Mu again and said, "Qin Mu, I heard that you wrote a poem in Zuichun Tower a few days ago, right?"
“That’s right.”
Qin Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, although this poem was written by a humble minister, it is really not up to the top."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Yang Guang laughed and said, "You! Qin Mu, if your poem is not up to the top, I am afraid that no one can do anything but his poems and songs in the world!"
"Grape wine, luminous cup, and you want to drink the pipa immediately. Don't laugh at me when you lie drunk on the battlefield. How many people have returned from war in ancient times?"
"From this poem, you can see your loyalty to the emperor and the country!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Mu was ashamed.
Empress Xiao’s eyes when she looked at Qin Mu also changed, and she stroked her hand and praised: “Okay! Cai!”
"Don't laugh at me when you are drunk on the battlefield. How many people have returned from the battles in ancient times? Just this quatrain, Qin Aiqing, you can be ranked alongside the famous scholars in the world!"
"The empress is so serious, but I am really ashamed of it."
Qin Mu's continuous humility aroused Empress Xiao's deep curiosity.
"Qin Aiqing, that poem was written improvised in Zuichun Tower, right?"
“That’s right.”
Qin Mu replied with a tough bullet.
Empress Xiao suddenly smiled softly and said, "Qin Aiqing, forgive me for taking the risk."
"I may not believe it very much. It is not that I don't believe that you can write such a heroic and heart-wrenching poem, but that I don't believe that you can write this poem in improvisation."
"As far as I know, this Zuichun Tower is one of the best fireworks places in Luoyang. How can this fireworks place be related to the battlefield?"
Qin Mu remained silent.
Empress Xiao said again: "Qin Aiqing, please forgive me for taking the liberty. I want to test your talent to see if you are really talented and can improvise a good poem."
"Please give the question."
Qin Mu was reserved on the surface, but in fact, he was already cursing in his heart.
Isn’t this a fault?
Qin Mu is a little literary, at least he has a little ink in his belly.
But he is not good at writing poetry, is it okay to copy it?
Empress Xiao looked around for a while, suddenly pointed to a nearby pond and said with a smile: "Qin Aiqing, I wrote a poem with the nearby scenery. How about it?"
"Abide by the imperial edict."
Yang Guang was also interested.
He was originally an emperor, but he could fight with a horse, and he could govern the country with a horse, and he could write poetry and other words. His literary talent was also very impressive.
However, Yang Guang believed that he could not write the poem by Qin Mu.
If Qin Mu really had this ability, he could write a poem impromptu, so Yang Guang would even look up to him!
Qin Mu looked at the nearby scenery and felt refreshed.
In a short period of time, it was easy for him to copy a poem.
Seven steps into poetry?
Qin Mu doesn’t need seven steps!
“Have it.”
When he heard this, Yang Guang and Empress Xiao looked at each other at the same time, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes!
How long has Qin Mu prepared a poem?
The two couldn't help but listen carefully.
"Geese, goose, singing towards the sky. White hair floats in green water, red palms push clear waves!"
"good!"
Yang Guang reacted and immediately applauded.
Chapter completed!
