Awaken Chapter 66

At this time.

Wenxuan Building.

The eyes of the crowd all fell on Xu Qingnian.

No one spoke, and even their breathing was much quieter.

They were all looking forward to Xu Qingnian’s poem.

What is the solution to love for each other?

This was indeed a difficult question.

It would have been easy to answer in terms of love for each other.

But what could be the answer?

It was not that they could not write a poem, but that the poem they did write could not convey the meaning.

It was at this moment that Xu Qingnian’s voice rang out.

Xu Qingnian’s voice rang out.

“Two taels of nine-leaf chrysanthemum, one coin of cicada chrysanthemum at the winter solstice, decocted into snow of the next year, can cure the world of lovesickness.”

Xu Qingnian spoke, and what he composed was not a poem, but a lyric.

It was not much, just one sentence.

When Xu Qingnian finished, the crowd was a little surprised.

“Just a line of words?”

“Two taels of nine-leaf chrysanthemum? One coin for the winter solstice cicada pupa?”

“What kind of medicine is this? What’s the allusion?”

The crowd’s voices rang out, somewhat puzzled.

Since Xu Wangu had the courage to open his mouth, he naturally had a good idea of what to expect, but there was something odd about these words.

Xu Qingnian stood with his hands folded as he looked at the woman by the window, looking very relaxed.

It was also at this moment that someone understood his meaning and could not help but speak up.

“I see, the heavy floor and the cicada pupa are both medicinal herbs.

“Medicine names? I know about cicada pupae, but I don’t know about chrysalis, such a nice name, but it’s a medicine?”

“It’s wonderful to use medicine as an answer, but it’s missing some rhythm.”

“Yes, it feels like there’s a bit of rhythm missing.”

When someone explained, the crowd realised that Xu Qingnian was using medicine to answer the question, which was right for the question but not for the meaning.

The main thing was that the meaning was missing a little.

But what exactly was the difference?

It was impossible to say.

“No, no, no.”

At that moment, a voice rang out and a man in the crowd gazed at Xu Qingnian.

“Brother Xu, this is not right.”

“My father was a doctor, and I have known some medical herbs since I was young. Also, there is no such thing as snow every other year, no, no, no.”

Someone spoke up, his father had been a doctor, and he had known medical herbs since childhood.

He knew what a cicada chrysanthemum was, and he knew that there was no such thing as snow every other year.

As soon as this was said, the crowd became even more curious.

What does this mean?

The heavy building has seven leaves, but Xu Qingnian said it was nine.

The cicada chrysalis is in summer, not the winter solstice.

As for the snow every other year, the crowd also came back to their senses, where in this world can snow be every other year.

This is not in line with common sense.

It was at this moment that Xu Qingnian smiled lightly, then slowly spoke.

“Heavy building seven leaves and one flower, winter solstice no cicada chrysalis, how can there be snow in alternate years, originally because there is no solution for love.”

Xu Qingnian’s voice was calm.

It also picked up the previous sentence.

In an instant, the literati in the hall froze, and the heralds in the elegant pavilion, also froze.

Xu Qingnian had used medicinal herbs as a lyrical solution to the question, but had left it in suspense, leaving people unsure of its meaning.

Now the second line is spoken, echoing the first and the last, answering the question as well as solving it, but more importantly, the mood and the rhythm make people inexplicably emotional.

What is the solution to the longing for each other.

The nine-leaved Chrysanthemum flower, the cicada chrysanthemum at the winter solstice, and the snow in the next year can be used as medicine to relieve the pain of longing.

But there are no nine-leaved chrysanthemum flowers, no cicada nymphs from the winter solstice, and no snow from the next year.

Therefore, there is no solution to the pain of longing, so there is no need to add to the trouble.

At this moment, the literati found the words more and more beautiful, while the women were all sentimental, and some of them even wept for no apparent reason, wanting to cry for some reason.

A line about the incomprehensibility of lovesickness, which says everything about love, hate and parting.

At this moment, Mu Nanping was even more sour. He had racked his brain for half a day but could not think of anything, but he did not expect that Xu Qingnian had casually composed a lyric, and the lyric was beautiful, and he even replied in the name of medicinal herbs, which seemed erudite.

In contrast to myself, there was really a difference between the sky and the earth.

Finally, the crowd came back to their senses from the words, and the next moment there was a burst of applause.

“Good, good, good words, good words.”

“Really good words, Brother Xu is really knowledgeable, using the name of a medicine as a lyric, we are really ashamed, we almost misunderstood.”

“The original is that there is no solution to acacia, it’s really wonderful, wonderful.”

“The words are beautiful, it should be a masterpiece.”

“There are three sufferings in the world, and lovesickness is the only one, such extreme suffering, how can there be a good medicine to cure it.”

The crowd sighed with emotion and admired Xu Qingnian even more.

However, at this moment, someone suddenly spoke up and wanted to offer a song.

“Brother Xu is very talented, and this time the best words make me feel sad inexplicably, so I will also offer a song.”

“I’m waiting for the first scholar today, then I’ll meet her again, she’s in tears, I’m in tears, but I’m relieved of the pain of longing. Are you moved? I’m going to cry.”

The voice fell with some sadness, and there was indeed a bit of weeping at the end.

But when the words came out, the crowd of talented people were confused.

I thought you were just saying that, but I didn’t expect you to really offer it up, did you?

For a moment, the atmosphere suddenly became malevolent.

But it was at that moment that Mu Nan Lime’s voice rang out.

“Miss, can this lyric be entered into the tent.”

Mu Nan Lime didn’t care what kind of words you composed, whether they were good or not was irrelevant to her, whether they could be entered into the tent was the king.

“Xu Gongzi is worthy of being a genius of the ages, my slave is gracious enough to allow you to enter the tent.”

The person who asked the question was already excited.

Even if Xu Qingnian had not said this wonderful song, she would have hated for him to enter the tent earlier.

Upon hearing this, Mu Nan Lime became excited and immediately walked towards the upper floor, looking very excited.

And Xu Qingnian spoke.

“Wait a moment, Miss, I have some important business with Brother Mu, Miss first entertain Miss Mu for Mister Xu.”

Watching Mu Nanliu leave, Xu Qingnian’s heart finally sighed with relief.

He was a little curious, Mu Nanlii liked female S*x, was it the kind of like that simply liked to stay with women and admire people’s beauty, or did he mean to grind tofu?

There was some curiosity.

However, curious as he was, Xu Qingnian still had to speak to this Qingnian, after all, it was himself that people were waiting for, if he didn’t come, he might anger Mu Nanlii, and then this troublemaker would come back to find him.

“Good, my slave will wait for Xu Gongzi.”

When the latter heard that Xu Qingnian was not coming for the time being, she looked slightly uncomfortable, but did not make a fuss, instead she replied in a gentle tone, being good and understanding.

With that, Xu Qingnian immediately left the place with Mu Nanping.

The two of them left and went to a separate elegant room in the Wenxuan Building.

In the elegant room.

Mu Nanping continued to talk about matters in the imperial court, so that Xu Qingnian could better understand.

In the blink of an eye.

Five hours pa*sed.

The two of them talked late into the night.

Xu Qingnian also had a clearer perception of the imperial court.

“Brother Mu, do you know about the Jin Yi Tian Wei?”

Xu Qingnian almost understood what was going on in the court, yet Xu Qingnian asked about the institution he wanted to know the most.

The Jin Yi Tian Wei.

The first time I heard about this institution was from the Yang Bao and Yang Hu brothers.

He had forgotten to ask, and now that Mu Nanping was there, Xu Qingnian happened to ask about it.

“Jin Yi Tian Wei?”

“This is a new institution set up by His Majesty. Nowadays, in the Great Wei Dynasty, the demons are in chaos, so His Majesty set up this department in order to solve the demon scourge.”

“What it is responsible for, in addition to killing demons, has the power to detect, arrest, and interrogate, and has great power, and can even kill first and submit later.”

Mu Nanping replied.

“Detect, arrest, and interrogate?”

“The powers are even so great?”

Xu Qingnian smacked his lips a little, this power was plenty, and it was very similar to the Jingyiwei that he remembered.

“En, above the power, it is indeed great, after all, His Majesty has just ascended the throne, the Great Wei Dynasty needs a group of ruthless people to stabilize the country.”

“It’s just that institutions like this won’t be of much use once the country is settled.”

What Mu Nanping said made sense.

When the country was in turmoil, this kind of institution was indeed in demand and had great power to the point of being frightening, after all, extraordinary moments were handled in an extraordinary manner.

But when the country is stable, this kind of institution is a retirement institution and is not needed at all.

But Xu Qingnian is somewhat intrigued.

The dangers of politics are too great, especially now, when the tide is dark.

One mistake and you could be buried.

And this kind of law enforcement department is very good, holding imperial power, only the chance to find trouble with others, no chance for others to find trouble with themselves.

Isn’t it quite good?

“Brother Mu, what do you think about me going to the Jin Yi Heavenly Guard?”

Xu Qingnian took a sip of wine and said so.

“What?”

In an instant, Mu Nanping was stunned.

He looked at Xu Qingnian, as if he hadn’t heard what he said clearly.

Xu Qingnian didn’t repeat himself and just looked at the other party.

“Brother Xu, don’t think nonsense, this kind of institution, although it holds imperial power in its hands, but among the court, no one is willing to join, if you go, won’t you …… cause your own trouble?”

Mu Nanping said seriously.

“No one joins?”

Xu Qingnian was curious, how could this kind of law enforcement department have no one to join?

“En, Jin Yi Tian Wei, the power is there, but generally speaking the people who go in are all running to subdue demons and build merit, they don’t have a single say in the court.”

Mu Nanping explained.

“Impossible, this kind of institutional department, with the power to detect, seize, and interrogate, the hundred officials in the court, shouldn’t they be in fear?”

Xu Qingnian felt a little incredulous.

Jin Yi Tian Wei could be understood as Jin Yi Wei.

This kind of department was simply arrogant and domineering in the previous world, the so-called flying fish costume, embroidered spring sword, a sentence that I am the eagle dog of the court, estimated to scare a lot of people to death.

How come there is no right to say anything?

If you become the commander-in-chief, come with a sentence.

Who agrees and who disagrees with what I say.

I believe no one would dare to oppose, right?

“Fear? Hahahaha, Brother Xu is thinking too much.”

“The Jin Yi Heavenly Guards, indeed, hold great power in their hands, but they wouldn’t dare to provoke those civil and military officials, after all, it’s not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.”

These words of Mu Nanping were simple, but they revealed a lot of information.

Xu Qingnian understood clearly.

There were four parties in the imperial court, and each party was an interest group, so even if you were a bully, you could only bully those without a background.

If you dare to bully someone with a real background, you’re looking for trouble with the entire group.

If the emperor protects you now, fine, I won’t leave you alone for the time being.

But once the country has settled down, then you can wait for your death.

The emperor doesn’t like it, and the civil and military officials don’t like it when you arrest people for trouble.

In other words, nowadays, the person who works as an officer in the Jin Yi Tian Wei should be a mongrel.

They have no problem catching demons, but they definitely don’t dare to touch the disputes in the court.

That’s why Mu Nanping said that there was no point in having a say.

Good guy.

Isn’t this just what I want?

The more he understood, the more interesting Xu Qingnian became.
