Chapter 58: An unprecedented sentence for the poet (Part 1)

Park In-kwang was reluctant: "Nephew, how can you play tricks on me like this? More than a hundred people were there, listening with their own ears. Did they all hear it wrong?"

Zhao Xing lay back on the bed in depression, covered his head and hid in the quilt and thought hard - Who did this?

Outside the bed, Park In-gwang nagged in a tempting manner, and Zhao Xing, who was upset, did not hear clearly what he said.

In fact, Zhao Xing had also grown up under Chinese education, and he had also come into contact with many Tang and Song lyrics. However, after he came into contact with giants like Su Shi, his courage became much smaller. He did not dare to show off his literary talent in front of the Song people, so he decided not to write a poem for life.

On this side, it was over time that he could not determine who the authors of the poems in his memory were, so he was worried that people would see the plagiarism. On the other hand, considering that poetry is useless to the country and the people, he simply kept it. However, the appearance of this poem broke his precepts.

He couldn't remember who wrote this poem at all. He tried his best to search for memory and remembered it only as if it was mentioned in a bestseller. He actually recited the whole sentence of the poem deep in his memory. When he remembered it now, he was surprised by his memory. If he had to recite it again now, he would not remember it as vividly as he had drunk last night.

Park In-kwang nagged for a long time, Zhao Xing arched his head out of the bed and explained his avoidance and dodging in one word - the "Wutai Poetry Case".

Park In-kwang suddenly realized.

Su Dongpo was convicted of poetry. When he was about to leave the capital, his wife burned most of the manuscripts. Because of this literary inquisition, many people involved were exiled. In this case, Zhao Xing, a disciple of Su Shi, was unwilling to use his poetry to make a name for the ministers and ministers, and he was not willing to cause trouble for Su Shi.

"Bad things, bad things... I will notify the officials present immediately and let them keep their mouths tight." Park In-kwang quickly ran outside. Without running a few steps, he stopped, looked at the manuscript in his hand, shook his head and added, "No one is going to violate the taboo?!"

He forgot that Zhao Xing was in Goryeo. He went abroad to write poetry and did not commit a taboo. Others can charge you of a taboo.

This poem was written by the Qing Dynasty poet Nalan Rongruo. It is a poem of eulogy to commemorate his deceased wife.

Zhao Xing recited this poem at a banquet that welcomed him. The first line of the poem, "If life is just like the first meeting", suddenly captured people's hearts, and the nature of this poem has changed completely...

Park In-gwang's advice made Goryeo feel sympathy for Su Shi. His disciples were so cautious that they could imagine what Su Shi was in China.

Zhao Xing did not realize that he originally wanted to prevent others from discovering plagiarism, but indirectly had a greater impact on him. In the entire Goryeo literary world, people quietly spread the poem, and insiders treated him as guests, and in the process of trading with him, they did not care about the price at all, and allowed him to buy it in a nearly free way.

For example, now, Zhao Xing was sitting at the banquet and was whispering with his head covering his head, “Hey, who is the foolish bird who lowers his head and eats the roasted bird?”

"What, you don't know him? You are ignorant, you! Let me tell you...if life is just like the first meeting... what will happen?"

Then there was a sudden realization of "Oh!", and after a moment, he asked again: "No, why did such a good poem be written by a fool? Does he look like it?"

What does it look like? Zhao Xing was so depressed that he was crazy. He always had such whispers, but he would not let others eat stupid birds?

Originally, Zhao Xing did not intend to participate in such social engagements, but really... his lust made him reluctant to give up such a banquet. Let's just say it: Goryeo people now wear Tang suits, what is Tang suit, it is the "burn-breasted suit" in the golden armor. The real Korean suit is completely imitating Tang suits, which extremely squeezes the chest, exposing the snow-white and plump "blushed buttocks".

To see this situation, modern people need to observe it from the early murals of Goryeo. Because during the Japanese colonial period, the Japanese believed that this Tang-style outfit was infuriating, so it was cancelled.

But now, they are floating in front of Zhao Xing with a vivid and fragrant appearance, as if the characters in the painting are coming to the world. The tempting Zhao Xing couldn't bear to leave and said goodbye...

The day of farewell was finally here. Ten days later, a cargo ship filled with Goryeo copper strips and gold nuggets left the port. On the shore, countless Goryeo scholars stood by the river and recited. The scene was grand. They sang in unison: "If life was just like the first meeting, why did the autumn wind paint a fan? It changed casually but the hearts of old friends are easy to change."

Zhao Xing, who had been hiding on the boat these days, stood on the deck with a worried smile, and waved goodbye to Park In-kwang on the shore.

In fact, the Goryeo people did not come just to bid farewell to Zhao Xing, they gave the disciple of the famous poet Su Shi. Zhao Xing was also worried that in this era, the author of "life was just like the first meeting" would never jump out to cause trouble for him.

The boat was sailing outside the sea of ​​Goryeo, and the people on the shore were still singing, but the sound was not heard. Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment and suddenly ordered: "Turn the rudder and target the Liao Kingdom!"

The throne Liu Xiaoer shouted: "The great official, Liao is an enemy country, if someone reports it..."

What Liu Xiaoyi was worried about was the person on the boat reporting it.

"Since Goryeo went to Liao Kingdom, I have recently changed my rudder and I have come to the vicinity. Why don't I go and see Liao Kingdom? Let's consider the others again!" Zhao Xing replied lightly.

As Baitchi approached, the people of the Cheng clan had already set up a stove and a long shed in Su Shi's courtyard. Everything was ready, and the day was just around the corner.

The villagers around the neighbors all look forward to the arrival of this day, because according to custom, families who have over 100 spitted their blessings to the neighbors and accept patchwork robes given by the neighbors, so as to pray for the longevity of their children.

In theory, a criminal official should not be so arrogant. The censor knew that he would impeach him, which made Su Shi's situation worse. But now, the powerful Cheng clan came forward to take charge, and each person had 2 coins of money to scatter money completely shut up the assistant officials in the government office.

As for Xu Zhizhou, after the banquet that day, he seemed to be lacking in moderation and was in poor health recently and was unable to attend. But with his tacit consent, on that day, after receiving a big red envelope, senior officials of the state office would be invited to the Qixia Tower on the other side of the river to drink... So, they would see nothing on that day...

The first person to find Zhao Xing appeared was Su Xi. At that time, Zhao Xing was holding a book in one hand and a cow in the other hand, and leisurely left the east gate of the city. When Su Xi saw it, he immediately applauded happily and said, "Okay, okay, my family is about to 'fall' the cow again."
