Chapter 42 Surprised Mu Shangde
"Oh, Eunuch Wei, do you know who wrote this poem?"
The eldest princess Zhao Zirou looked at Wei Zhongxian in surprise and asked, "You know, this eunuch who didn't know a lot about Wei Zhongxian, and she actually cared about such lyrics."
"When I go back to the words of the eldest princess, such as "Changmen Fu", as soon as I listen to it once, I will be deeply attracted. I also heard this lyrics on the street not long ago, and I was deeply attracted. I sent someone to investigate which talented man was written by. It happened that I believed it now. When the princess asked, I could answer it." Wei Zhongxian said respectfully.
Although Wei Zhongxian is a great eunuch who doesn't know a big word, he respects talented literati very much. However, many talented people like to be arrogant and look down on eunuchs like Wei Zhongxian and are unwilling to interact with him.
"Eunuch Wei, tell me quickly which talented man made such a wonderful lyrics and songs as "Changmen Fu"." asked the prince Zhao Yan, after all, he was still very young and a little uneasy.
"When you say the prince, according to the proof of the East Factory, this "Nagmon Fu" first appeared in Kurihara County in Jiangnan." Wei Zhongxian said.
"As far as I know, there are no famous talented men in Kurihara County, but there are a few talented girls."
The eldest princess Zhao Zirou said in surprise, "You must know that Kurihara County belongs to a small county in more than 100 counties of the Great Qin Dynasty. Since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, there has never been any particularly famous talented man in Kurihara County."
"Return to the princess's words, this talented man who wrote "Nagato Fu" is the fiancé of Mu Yunxi, one of the three talented women in Kurihara County. According to reports, this talented man is named Qin Mu and is the son-in-law of Mu Mansion of Kurihara. Five years ago, a fire broke out and his parents died, he has been living in Mu Mansion." Wei Zhongxian said.
"Rihara Mu Mansion? Have you just been promoted to Mu Shangde, the Minister of Personnel?"
The eldest princess Zhao Zirou asked, this eldest princess was the eldest daughter of Emperor Tianqi of the dynasty. She was talented and intelligent. She had always been an important think tank for her father Emperor Tianqi. She could remember all the information about some of the main officials of the Qin Dynasty. When she heard that it was Mu Mansion of Kurihara County, Zhao Zirou remembered the Mu Shangde, who had just been promoted to the Minister of Personnel.
"If you come back to the eldest princess, Qin Mu is Lord Mu's son-in-law." Wei Zhongxian said.
"Oh, I didn't expect that a talented woman from Mu's family would come out and another amazing talented man. It's really gratifying. Is Lord Mu Shangde Mu coming?" The eldest princess Zhao Zirou asked the palace maid next to him.
"Go back to the eldest princess, Lord Mu is here, but he sits in a farther position." said a palace maid standing next to the eldest princess.
"Then ask him to speak." said the eldest princess Zhao Zirou.
"yes."
The palace maid next to him responded and told someone to ask Lord Mu to come up and talk back and forth.
"Mu Shangde, the Minister of Personnel, meet His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Princess."
Mu Shangde gasped and went up to pay homage to the prince and the eldest princess. He heard the palace maid say that the eldest princess came forward to answer, which made Mu Shangde nervous and his heart beat hard. He didn't know what the eldest princess asked. In the current Qin Dynasty, although this eldest princess was only twenty years old, she was talented and had great means, but she was an amazing figure. She held the power of life and death for many officials. She could be said to be under one person, above ten thousand people, and the current princes all listened to this eldest princess very much.
"Please get up and reply, Lord Mu." Princess Zhao Zirou said to Mu Shangde.
"Princess Xie."
After Mu Shangde breathed a sigh of relief, he said, "It's good that the eldest princess's peaceful tone is that there should be nothing bad."
"Mr. Mu, do you know who this song "Changmen Fu" was written by?" asked the eldest princess Zhao Zirou.
"The Fu of Changmen?"
Mu Shangde was a little stunned. He had never heard of "Changmen Fu" before, so how could he know who wrote "Changmen Fu"?
"Hehe, Lord Mu, it's the song that the singer and the others sang just now." Prince Zhao Yan couldn't help but smile when he saw Mu Shangde's stupid look.
"It turns out that this peerless lyrics and song is called "Changmen Fu". This is the first time that Weichen has heard this song. This song can be said to be a song that has been sung for the ages. But Weichen doesn't know who wrote this song." Mu Shangde said respectfully.
"Mr. Mu really doesn't know who wrote this song?" Prince Zhao Yan looked at Mu Shangde with some confusion and asked.
"If you go back to the Crown Prince, I really don't know."
Mu Shangde answered affirmatively, this is the first time Mu Shangde has heard of this song "Changmen Fu". I don't know why the eldest princess and the prince asked him this question, which made Mu Shangde very confused.
"This song "Changmen Fu" was written by your son-in-law, don't you know?" The eldest princess Zhao Zirou looked at Mu Shangde in confusion and asked.
"Princess, do you mean that this song "Changmen Fu" was written by my son-in-law?"
Mu Shangde looked at the eldest princess in surprise and asked. Mu Shangde knew very well that his son-in-law was a completely fool. Not to mention writing lyrics and music, it would be good to be able to read a few words.
"Don't you really don't know that this song "Nagora Fu" was written by your son-in-law."
When the eldest princess Zhao Zirou saw that Mu Shangde didn't look like she was lying to him, and there was no need to lie to him in this matter, she couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"I really don't know. I don't know who said that the song "Changmen Fu" was written by Weichen's son-in-law. Weichen only has a little girl and has not married yet. It's just a marriage a long time ago. However, the boy was a fool. He has been in the Mu family for five years and has not read a single big word. He only has five or six years of enlightenment wisdom. How could he make such a stunning work? Did he make a mistake?"
Mu Shangde said carefully that if his future son-in-law could write such peerless lyrics and songs as "Changmen Fu", the sow could be climbed onto a tree.
There is no way. In this era of communication, communication is basically yelling, transportation is basically leap, and public security is basically leap. It is difficult for ordinary people to convey a message, especially since Kurihara County is thousands of miles away from the capital Chang'an. Ordinary letters cannot reach the capital in less than two months. Only institutions such as the East Factory and the Military Department have 800-mile rush and pigeons, which can greatly shorten the circulation speed of this message.
This is why Mu Shangde still doesn't know that his son-in-law is no longer a fool, and he is still wondering if he has made a mistake.
"Mr. Mu, is your son-in-law named Qin Mu?" Wei Zhongxian asked.
"Yes, his name is Qin Mu." Mu Shangde said.
"Then how many people in your Mu family are called Qin Mu?" Wei Zhongxian asked again.
"Eunuch Wei, you are joking. How could there be a few people named Qin Mu in the Mu family? Only one of them has been living in my old house in Mu family?" Mu Shangde said.
"This is nothing wrong. This song "Changmen Fu" was written by the talented man from the Qin Mu family, the Mu family." Wei Zhongxian said.
"Eunuch Wei, you are joking. How could this Qin Mu be a talented man? He is just a fool." Mu Shangde said.
"Mr. Mu, you said your son-in-law is a fool. How could you be willing to marry your daughter to a fool?" Prince Zhao Yan asked curiously.
"When you go back to the Crown Prince, Weichen's family used to be a family friend of the Qin family. My father had made this marriage with the old man of the Qin family very early. At that time, Qin Mu was still very smart and clever, but in an accident, he turned Qin Mu into a fool."
Mu Shangde said that Mu Shangde did not expect that the name of his fool's son-in-law would be spread to the capital and the eldest princess's mansion one day. It was really embarrassing to the entire Qin Dynasty. This made Mu Shangde very depressed. It probably took less than a few days before all the civil and military officials in the dynasty knew that he had a fool's son-in-law.
"Eunuch Wei, what's going on?" The eldest princess looked at Wei Zhongxian in confusion and asked. Logically speaking, the spies from the East Factory should not be wrong.
"Mr. Mu, you may not know. You foolish son-in-law are no longer stupid now. Not only are you not stupid but also talented."
Wei Zhongxian said to Mu Shangde with a smile, "If the news was not confirmed, Wei Zhongxian would not dare to say this on such an occasion."
"This...how is this possible?"
Mu Shangde said in shock, "A fool suddenly turned into a talented man with great talent." This change is too great, so great that Mu Shangde is a little unacceptable."
"Haha, it seems that Lord Mu really doesn't know about this."
The eldest princess Zhao Zirou said with a smile. Judging from Mu Shangde's appearance, he probably still doesn't believe that his son-in-law has become a talented man.
"If you go back to the princess, I really don't know about this matter. I will write a letter to ask when I go back." Mu Shangde came back to his senses and said.
"I'd better send someone to investigate. If you write a letter and wait for reply, it will be next year."
The eldest princess Zhao Zirou said that Zhao Zirou also wanted to meet this talented man who wrote such a peerless lyrics and music like "Changmen Fu". The eldest princess admires talented people very much.
"Mr. Mu, are you sure your son-in-law is a fool?" asked the prince Zhao Yan.
"Reply to the words of the Crown Prince, I am sure that it is correct. This is not a secret in Kurihara County."
Mu Shangde said that in such an occasion where all officials gathered, saying that his son-in-law was a fool also made Mu Shangde very disgraceful.
"Oh, why did you say that, your son-in-law suddenly became smart?" Prince Zhao Yan asked with interest.
"If you go back to your highness, I think this should be the case."
Mu Shangde thought for a while and said that Mu Shangde knew the details of his foolish son-in-law than anyone else. If he wanted to say that this song "Changmen Fu" was written by him, Mu Shangde was the first to not believe it.
"Haha, it seems that your son-in-law is a very interesting person. I want to meet him." Prince Zhao Yan said with a smile.
...
In the boudoir of Li Xiangjun in Meixianglou, Qinhuai River.
"Mr., do you dislike Xiangjun? Did Xiangjun do it? You are not satisfied with Xiangjun. Xiangjun just changed it. Don't abandon Xiangjun!" Li Xiangjun hugged Qin Mu tightly and asked sadly.
