Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty-Six Donglin Group of Heroes
The setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together, and the autumn water and the sky are the same color.
A poem by the early Tang Dynasty poet Wang Bo made the famous Tengwang Pavilion on the bank of Ganjiang River spread all over the world.
Buildings become classics, and poetry also becomes classics.
Today's Tengwang Pavilion was rebuilt during the Jiajing period. At that time, Luo Qinshun, the Minister of Personnel, wrote the "Record of the Reconstruction of Tengwang Pavilion" and said: "There are seven pavilions, which are 40 and 2 feet high, and they are considered to be of great importance to the past."
The newly renovated Tengwang Pavilion has flying eaves and corners, painted buildings and colorful pillars, palace lanterns hanging high in the pavilion, and jade carvings embedded in the walls, which are the favorite places for the great officials and nobles in Ganzhou Province to visit.
When you climb high and look into the Ganjiang River, although there is no Yellow River entering the sea, it is also going to a higher level.
There is also a restaurant in the building, which is extremely luxurious, with no white men coming and going, and all nobles are coming and going.
Today, Tengwang Pavilion asked someone to book the whole building and seal it for a long time, so tourists were not allowed to enter.
This move made tourists and the people angry. However, when the store owner said that the people who booked the building were not verbal, everyone was full of expectations and wanted to look at the people who booked the building.
Who has the Tengwang Pavilion?
Tang Xianzu, a great talent in Ganzhou!
If you want to say that Tang Xianzu was famous in Ganzhou, he was also known for a long time in Nanzhi.
Even the people of the countryside have never heard of Tang Jun, and have heard of the Peony Pavilion, which made the "West Chamber" discount and sold at a discount.
What are the best scenery and the sky? Whose courtyard is enjoyable?
In a minor tune, I don’t know how many talented women and beautiful women have been fascinated by it.
Today, Tang Xianzu spent all his money to host Tengwang Pavilion to invite several guests who had not seen for more than ten years.
If the names of these guests were spread, they would probably be even more crazy than those of him, Tang Da Tsai.
Because those are all famous talents and gentlemen in Donglin.
Tang Xianzu was not a member of the Donglin Party. He was a Jinshi at the age of 34 and was in charge of the Ministry of Rites. Later, he was demoted to the Dianist of Xuwen, Guangdong for angering the emperor, and was transferred to the magistrate of Suichang County, Zhejiang Province. He served for five years and was never promoted. He was angry and abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown.
During his return home, he met Gu Yuncheng, one of the eight gentlemen in Donglin.
Then Gu Yuncheng is the younger brother of the Great Lord of Donglin. He is known as the "Eight Lords of Donglin" together with Gao Panlong, An Xifan, Liu Yuanzhen, Qian Yiben, Xue Fujiao, Ye Maocai and others.
The banquet was held in the evening, but guests arrived early, but they were the disciples of the Great Lord of Donglin Gu Xiancheng and Gao Panlong, one of the Eight Lords of Donglin.
Gao was a Jinshi in the 17th year of Wanli. He was a disciple of the Xingrensi. Later, he was demoted to Jieyang Dianshi, Guangdong for submitting a memorial to impeach the chief assistant Wang Xijue. During this period, he met Tang Xianzu, who was demoted to Xuwen Quguan, and became close friends. Tang Xianzu was able to be introduced to the Donglin Party because Gao Panlong fought for his teacher Gu Xiancheng.
Unlike Tang Xianzu, who was a sacred official, Gao Panlong only became a sacred official for less than a month and resigned from his post and returned to his hometown. Since then, he has been teaching by his teacher Gu Xiancheng, which has been for almost twenty years. During this period, some party members kept writing to him to recommend him to be an official, but the emperor ignored it.
Gao Panlong came from Wuxi this time, representing his teacher Gu Xiancheng to meet with you and discuss major events together.
"Save it, it's hard for me to wait!"
Gao Panlong's arrival made Tang Xianzu very happy and personally stepped forward to lead him in.
Gao Panlong laughed, but said, "A few years ago, when Xiuwu was a governor of the grain, he sent someone to invite Ruo Shi to the position of governor and governor's office. Unexpectedly, Ruo Shi pointed to a bed of books and said that if you have this, you will not be poor. When you see you today, you are a poor person, you are clearly a rich man."
Xiuwu Duke was Li Sancai, and Ruoshi was the name of Tang Xianzu.
"Don't laugh at me when I keep it. You and my family are here, and no one will say that I have too much money... It's a pleasure to have friends from afar. If I don't treat you with all my strength, wouldn't I ask my colleagues in the party to say that I'm stingy? Ganzhou has no good place, and only this Tengwang Pavilion on the Ganjiang River can get the eyes of you."
Tang Xianzu also laughed. Whether he or Gao Panlong, he was not a poor person. He had no other name, but he was born as a Jinshi, how could he be a poor person?
If he was really a poor man, how could he write four masterpieces, "Resurrection of the Soul", "The Purple Hairpin", "The Nanke" and "The Handan" in the past ten years?
Without money or rice, how can you hold on to a writer? (Author’s note: Here is a key point, you can understand it carefully, it is best to express it. How much money is a thought, just close your eyes and hit 0 more.)
"Ruoshi, you are still old-fashioned, not worried about poverty and humbleness, not eager for wealth and honor! It's better not to be an official, as long as I do what I like, such as writing a play, I'll be happy. Do you know that your Peony Pavilion is going crazy in Jiangnan..."
"In the future, if we are waiting, who can leave a name in history, I see that there is no one except you, Tang Ruoshi."
As the two were talking, a white-haired old man stepped into the building under the guidance of the waiter.
"My friend of He Gong!"
When Tang and Gao saw the old man, they hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. Even though they were about the same age, they both held the courtesy of juniors.
There is nothing else, this old man is Zhao Nanxing!
Zhao Nanxing was very old. He was a Jinshi in the second year of Wanli. He served as the head of the Ministry of Revenue, was a doctor of the Ministry of Personnel, and was a candidate of the Ministry of Personnel. During the 21st year of Wanli, Zhao Nanxing and Gu Xiancheng dismissed all officials with different political views in the court, causing a sensation in the whole world. Later, he and Gu Xiancheng were both expelled from the court and jointly founded the Donglin Party.
If Gu Xiancheng is the spiritual leader of the Donglin Party, Ye Xianggao is the government leader of the Donglin Party, and Li Sancai is the core of the Donglin Party's think tank, Zhao Nanxing is the Dinghai Sword of the Donglin Party.
This time in Ganzhou, Zhao Nanxing was determined by the call.
"Ruoshi, you and I are thousands of miles apart, to support you, I will make me rush day and night."
Zhao Nanxing was chatting and laughing, and there was no sign of old aura. What he said was a kind word. This time, the important people from Donglin met in Ganzhou, and the outside world said that he admired the "Peony Pavilion" arranged by Tang Xianzu himself and performed by Zhejiang Haiyan Opera Troupe, so there is such a statement.
"Enjoying the show is a small matter, but the party is a big matter." Tang Xianzu smiled apologetically and said, "Mr. Qihe has always been good? Don't forget that we are the same age!"
After hearing this, Zhao Nanxing smiled cheerfully: "Yes, we are the same age. In the eyes of the world, we are both old people in our sixties, but... we are old horses in the stable, and we are determined to be thousands of miles away. What is the age of sixty? How can we serve the country?
"Well said!"
Tang Xianzu happily clapped and praised.
Gao Panlong also nodded. As his teacher said, Qihe Gong's mentality is comparable to that of a young man, and with him, he doesn't have to be afraid of anything.
"If there is no official in the Qing Dynasty, it would be better if the court doesn't need us. I'm idle. A few years ago, I built a garden, closed my door and drank with books, drinks, and essays. Judging from the current situation, it seems that I will eventually die in the folk." Zhao Nanxing smiled, took Gao and Tang and his hands to the table.
