Chapter 357: Speech
When they marched to the vicinity of the imperial city, the way of the southern rulers was stopped by the officials of the Jingzhao Mansion Yin. When asked for an explanation in advance, they did not resist in any form, but obediently stopped.
Seeing that this group of movers stopped, the officials of Jingzhao Mansion Yin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as this group of people listens to the dissuasion, otherwise things will be really difficult to handle. If they really follow the orders issued by their superiors and resolutely block the advance of these southern movers, it is very likely to attract even larger protests.
Just when the officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Mrs. Hong led Hong Li and Su Wen up. Mrs. Hong is a first-class edict from the emperor himself, and they dare not offend in the slightest.
Standing in front of the Yin Ya of Jingzhao Mansion, Mrs. Hong didn't say a word, just stared at them intently. At first, they didn't think so, and they didn't feel pressured to be seen like this. It's a pity that it didn't take long for them to be a little unbearable, and they began to feel uncomfortable, and even had an urge to run away.
Under Mrs. Hong's calm and watery gaze, the official of Jingzhao Mansion Yin had a feeling of numbness on his scalp. Strangely, her gaze was obviously not lethal, but it made the officials feel a little overwhelmed.
After a while, the official of Jingzhao Mansion Yin was finally defeated in the battle of eyes. Under Mrs. Hong's gaze, they involuntarily took a step back. At this moment, their will began to crumble, and their steps back became faster and faster.
It seemed that in just a few breaths, the officials of Jingzhao Mansion Yin gave way to a way. They stepped back. Mrs. Hong led Hong Li and Su Wen over with a solemn face.
Following the three of them, Nanfang Juzi walked over one by one in an orderly manner. After they passed through the obstruction of this group of officials of Jingzhao Mansion, they came all the way to another venue in front of the palace. Instead of clashing with the northern Juzi, who had already occupied the country for a day, they gathered together quietly and expressed their solidarity with the flood in silence.
Hearing that a new group of lifters had gathered in front of the palace, the emperor couldn't help but feel a headache. As had been the case, he immediately sent a representative to receive the petition from the Southern Champions.
After reading the petition, the emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. With this petition, he finally had a basis to refuse to punish Hong Qian. If someone else asks, he can say that the people have different opinions. The handling of the flood must be carefully considered. So. He could then postpone the matter and find a more secure solution.
The petition was filed, and Suwen's arrangements did not end there. Just kidding, I finally got such an opportunity. How could she just submit a petition and give up?
Wait for the emperor's representative to leave. Su Wen immediately stood up. Go to the front of the line. Under the guidance of Mrs. Hong, she wrote a speech overnight yesterday and planned to give a public speech on this occasion today. It's been so long since the time traveled. This is the first time that Su Wen has made a speech in pure Chinese, and his mood is inevitably a little nervous.
Feeling the nervousness of Su Wen's mood, Mrs. Hong immediately threw an encouraging look at her. She has confidence in Su Wen and believes that Su Wen will be able to complete the speech task this time.
Receiving Mrs. Hong's encouraging eyes, Su Wen immediately became confident. There's nothing to be afraid of, she's been through it for so long, and classical Chinese has long ceased to be a problem. What's more, this speech was written by herself, and although Mrs. Hong helped revise it, the extent of the changes was not large, and basically no too many adjustments were made.
Nodding to everyone in front of him, Su Wen began to speak passionately. She didn't have the shyness and twist of an ordinary boudoir woman, and she performed a speech with emotion.
In the course of his speech, Su Wen first reviewed Hong Qian's life experience over the years. She sorted out the experiences of Hong Qian's youth becoming famous, winning the imperial examination, becoming an official, and benefiting the villagers one by one, so that the audience had a comprehensive and objective understanding of Hong Qian, and subtly established an image of Hong Qian's integrity and responsibility.
After combing through Hong Qian's life experience, Su Wen recalled the experience of worshiping Hong Qian as a teacher. She recreated the scene of that day, pulling all the listeners into the early morning of the previous autumn.
In Su Wen's narration, Hong Qian is portrayed as a scholar who cares about the people. It is precisely because he has to observe the people's situation that he regularly goes to the county office to help write the pleadings. In this way, Hong Qian discovered Su Wen, who was born in a commoner, and further accepted her as a personal disciple.
In order to enhance the persuasiveness, Su Wen quoted Fan Zhongyan's famous saying - if you live in a temple, you will worry about its people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about its king,......
It must be admitted that Fan Zhongyan's words are too impactful, and once you hear it, you will remember it in your heart. The worst thing is that this sentence stands up to scrutiny. The more the scholars present pondered, the more they felt that this sentence made sense, and they couldn't help but be more and more impressed by Su Wen's talent, and at the same time, their support for Hong Qian became more and more firm.
In the face of the support of many southern scholars, Su Wen first expressed his gratitude, and then discussed Hong Qian's character, further denying the possibility of Hong Qian's organization of the imperial examination fraud case.
On the one hand, Su Wen used facts to deny the possibility of fraud, and on the other hand, he also used emotional rhetoric to win sympathy. It wasn't until she took both aspects to the extreme that she came up with her final assertions. In her opinion, Hong Qian was obviously wronged this time. There is no problem with this imperial examination, and the northern people's skills are not as good as others, so the fault is planted on the main examiner Hong Qian.
As a beneficiary of this imperial examination, Nanfang Juzi gave firm support. Their achievements are all based on real talent and hard work, and naturally they do not allow others to pour dirty water on their own achievements.
At the end of the speech, the northern lifters who had heard the news began to shout and curse nearby. Fortunately, there were officers and soldiers who maintained order, but they did not dare to rush up and take action directly. Although it is only attacked with words, the words of the reader who scold people can no longer be vicious, and the performance is far more wonderful than that of the shrew.
Seeing that Su Wen was giving a speech, several northern lifters who came over regarded her as the first target of reprimand. What kind of hair is long and short in sight, they simply don't want to be more proficient in speaking.
In the face of the provocation of several northern lifters, although Su Wen was annoyed in his heart, he still maintained enough restraint on the surface. A group of people with shorter hair and shorter knowledge, she didn't bother to bother with them. If there is really a conflict with this kind of person, in the end, she can only lower her identity and style, and maybe it will provide these northern lifters with a chance to climb up.
Glancing at a few northern lifters with an expressionless face, Su Wen turned his head and said to the many southern lifters: "Talents, shouldn't such an open-mouthed scholar be named Sun Shan?" ”
Hearing her shouting question, all the southern lifters present unanimously gave an affirmative answer. Their voices are in unison, sounding quite imposing. After they shouted the answer, they deliberately raised their heads to the north and cast a disdainful look, which felt like they were watching a group of scoundrels who did not learn and did not know how to do it.
Receiving the eyes of the southern lifters, several provocative northern lifters were very angry. They feel that they are victims of the imperial examination fraud case, so they will naturally not be convinced.
Stretching out his hand and pointing at the southern lifter not far away, a thin-looking northern lifter sneered loudly with disdain on his face: "What are you proud of, isn't it just a group of hypocrites who rely on cheating to get on the list." If you have real talent, you have the ability to have a fair showdown with us to see who is better? ”
Listening to his ridicule, some people in the southern part of the country immediately ridiculed each other: "Joke, I don't have real talent and learning, so I frame others for cheating in the imperial examination." If you don't have the ability, you go back to study hard, what's the point of shouting here? ”
Seeing that the southern lifters ridiculed each other, how could the northern lifters admit defeat, and immediately shot back in a loud voice: "Bitter reading, which eye of yours sees that we don't have bitter reading?" The problem is that with you cheating hypocrites, what can you do with hard study? Ten years of hard study, it is better to take care of the main exam, where is the axiom of the world? ”
In the face of the ridicule of the northern juzi, someone in the south immediately sneered and retorted: "Just by taking care of the main examiner, you can be on the list, do you think other invigilators are decorations?" Those who have all passed the imperial examination, so don't pretend to be confused. You know exactly what this imperial examination will look like. Ask those who rushed to take the exam last time, is it really fairer than this one? ”
was asked by the southern juzi, and the northern juzi was a little speechless for a while. I heard from my classmates who participated in the last imperial examination that this time the imperial examination was obviously much more honest and honest than the last time.
As soon as these thoughts flashed through their minds, the northern lifters immediately strangled them in the cradle. They can't accept such a reality, and they don't dare to follow this line of thought.
This time the imperial examination is more honest and honest than the last time, how is this possible? If this is the case, doesn't that mean that they are not as good as others? As soon as they thought of this possibility, they immediately dismissed the thought that came to their minds. It must have been a mistake by the classmates, who were blinded by this group of southern lifters, and mistakenly thought that this time was more incorruptible than the last time.
Seeing that the two sides had a tendency to continue arguing, Su Wen knew that he had to interrupt this process, otherwise it would be endless, and in the end, it would easily lead to the situation getting out of control.
Thinking of this, Su Wen immediately appealed loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, please keep in mind the purpose of our petition this time. We are gathered here together to defend justice and to restore Mr. Hong's innocence. Until we achieve this goal, we must not be distracted by the provocations of others and fall into the trap they have laid in advance. (To be continued......)
