Chapter 281: The old man is Kong Rong
"Old man, forget it," Seeing that no one went to pick up the article in the old man's hand, Zheng Shizi stepped forward to persuade him.
Although none of them knew the old man before, they were a member of the Yanyu people, and the old man stood there so embarrassed, and he was embarrassed with them.
"We Yanyu celebrities are all serving in the imperial court, and now Xu Du is uncertain, so that those celebrities in the court and the central government have collectively lost their voices, counting on us and other folk scholars to write articles to refute Chen Hanyu......"
Zheng Shizi patted the old man's shoulder sympathetically, shaking his head and sighing as he spoke.
The courage of this old man is commendable, but it is too difficult to let them a group of low-level scholars write articles comparable to Chen Qi!
If you don't read it, it may be even more embarrassing to read it.
On the other side, Ma Shizi walked over with a malicious smile: "Since we are friends with writing, anyone can write essays for the world to judge."
Come, come, let me read the old gentleman's masterpiece and see how shocking it is. ”
Ma Shizi thinks about it, when the old man is still eating and drinking with an old face at his age, it must be a life of despair, how can there be any literary brilliance?
The article must be bullshit, he read it in public, and took the opportunity to humiliate the Yanyu scholar opposite, wouldn't it be very beautiful?
"I want you to be nosy!"
Zheng Shizi glared at the man surnamed Ma, and wanted to pull the old man back, but he didn't expect the surname Ma to be quick, so he snatched the old man's article in his hand and shook it away, clearing his throat.
Ahem!
All the Yanyu scholars shook their heads and sighed, complaining in their hearts that the old man was not self-sufficient.
"The years do not live, and the seasons flow. Fifty years later, it has come to ......"
As Ma Shizi read the first few sentences, the originally noisy scene suddenly fell silent.
Hey?
This opening sentence is very extraordinary.
Ma Shizi, who was reciting, was also surprised, just looking at the first few sentences, it seemed to be not bad.
"The Spring and Autumn Biography" said: 'The princes have perished, and the Duke of Huan cannot be saved, then the Duke of Huan will be ashamed', and now the Duke of Ping, the male of the real husband, the world's talkers, rely on the voice, and the body is not free from seclusion, and the fate is not expected......"
Reading these few sentences, everyone on the scene, whether it was Yanyu Shizi or Xuzhou Shizi, was all stupid.
One by one, their eyes widened and they listened quietly, with incredible expressions on their faces.
This article is not only brilliant, but also implied to be sharp, praising Liu Ping on the one hand, and satirizing those "talkers" who gossip about Liu Ping.
This is an article that a down-and-out old Confucian can make?
Even many great Confucians in the world can't do it, and in terms of quality, it far surpasses Chen Qi's article.
"Now the old man is fond of slandering others, or he may be able to ridicule justice. Pinggong should be praised by the people who have the world's great names and nine herdsmen.
The bones of the horses in Yanjun City are not intended to be in the road, but to be used to make a move.
However, if the Ping Gong Kuang restores the Han Dynasty, the sect will be extinct, and it will be able to ...... right."
With these few words recited, all the Yanyu scholars breathed a sigh of relief.
They thought the article would make them feel ashamed to read it, but they didn't expect it to be a brilliant article.
The article not only praised Liu Ping, but also ridiculed Chen Qi for reversing black and white and talking about others in vain, which made them Yanyu scholars raise their eyebrows.
In fact, this old man is Kong Rong, who specially appeared in this kind of literary meeting to correct Liu Ping's name.
Kong Rong is the top Confucian of this era, and he is the master of articles after Cai Yong, how can his writing be unreasonable?
It's just that his status is too high, and these people present are all low-level scholars, and no one knows him.
At this time, the Xuzhou scholars on the opposite side were all earthy, and they were all stupid, and many people looked dull......
Now the body that was dismissed is incomplete.
The reason why they were able to suppress Yanyu Shizi in these several literary meetings was entirely because of Chen Qi's article.
But now, this counter-article has been published, and the quality is far above Chen Qi's article.
It is conceivable that those Yanyu scholars should not press them again?
It's like a child fighting and bringing out the adults in the family to help, but the adults in their family don't seem to be able to beat the adults......
"This article was written by Kong Rong?"
Ma Shizi looked at the signature at the end, his pupils involuntarily contracted slightly, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.
It turns out that this is just the beginning of the tragedy, since Kong Rong has spoken out, the other top Confucians in the DPRK and China will not take it lightly, right?
In this way, Chen Hanyu is not scolded to death......
"It turns out that you copied Kong Shaofu's article, no wonder it's so sharp, no wonder it's ......"
Ma Shizi shook his head gloomily as he spoke.
"What copy?" Kong Rong said angrily: "The old man is Kong Rong!" ”
"Are you Kong Rong?"
The Xuzhou scholars behind Ma Shizi were stunned, and then burst into laughter.
"Kong Wenju is one of the generals of the Nine Emperors of the Dynasty, how can he come to participate in such a literary meeting?"
"You're Kong Rong, you're not afraid you're an old madman, right?"
"If you copy an article and say that it is Kong Rong, then if I copy the Analects, wouldn't it be Kong Zhongni?"
"Bastard!"
Kong Rong heard people make fun of his ancestors, and his beard couldn't help but fly wildly, "You ignorant children, you are simply blind.
Believe it or not, the old man doesn't need to prove his identity to you. ”
"Do you think we haven't seen Kong Shaofu, so we're here to deceive?"
After laughing for a while, Ma Shizi pointed at Kong Rong and said, "Don't you know that there is really a master of Kong Shaofu here, so I will invite him out and expose your shallow tricks." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, please ask the eldest prince to come out and see what the old man has to say."
Ma Shizi snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the hall.
Those with a little status will be invited into the hall by wealthy merchants to entertain alone, and the lowest scribes who have no status will be scattered in this garden to talk and talk.
What is Kong Rong's identity? If you can come here, how can the rich merchants here mingle with them if they don't greet them upside down?
On the other side, Yan Yu Shizi all rubbed his forehead, feeling that his head was bigger.
This old man is overdressing, you can copy an article to show off, and pretend to be Kong Rong.
If this is debunked in public, it will have to make people laugh off their big teeth.
Not long after, Ma Shizi hurriedly came over with a group of scribes, and by looking at the dress, he knew that the status of those scribes was higher than that of Ma Shizi and others.
There was a young man in the midst of them, apparently the leading figure of the scribes.
In fact, the young man was Tao Qian's son, the former pottery merchant of Xuzhou.
Since Tao Qian ceded the state pastor to Liu Bei, the Tao family has been reduced to an ordinary scholar clan in Xuzhou, and Liu Bei only supplies the Tao family with money and grain on schedule, but the Tao family has no more power.
The potters could only indulge in the mountains and rivers, and spend their days in the company of scribes.
Although the Tao family has no power, the pottery merchant used to be the eldest prince of Xuzhou after all, and he is also a god-like existence among these low-level scribes.
Even when he arrived in this East Garden, the rich merchant had to accompany him personally.
Just now they were drinking in the hall, but they heard someone in the garden pretending to be Kong Rong, so they hurried over to debunk the scam.
"Tao Gongzi, that's the old liar," Ma Shizi triumphantly pointed to their backs, and Kong Rong, who was standing with his hands in his hands, said loudly, quite a feeling of great merit.
Kong Rong turned around slowly.
"Kong Shibo, is it really you?" The potter's eyes widened and he lost his voice.
