Zhang Juzheng's heart sank.

Although the Son of Heaven talks and laughs, it seems to have a faint meaning.

Could it be that the Son of Heaven is hinting that he has too many people in the Chu Party and the Zhang Party?

Zhang Juzheng didn't know what Emperor Wanli meant, so he had to answer truthfully: "This Ning Xiu is indeed quite talented. Lao Chen heard that he had passed the scientific examination of the county school and was qualified for the Huguang Township Examination in August this year. ”

Zhang Juzheng's answer was not leaky, neither much nor silent, so that Emperor Wanli could not find fault.

In fact, it was indeed he who thought too much.

Emperor Wanli only heard a few poems written by Ning Xiu, and he thought it was amazing before he mentioned it, and there was no hint of it.

Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "If he can go to high school in autumn, when he goes to Beijing, I want to see who can make 'life is only as it was when I first saw it, what is the autumn wind and sad fan.'" Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable. ’”

Zhang Juzheng was stunned for a moment, he had also heard this poem, and his son Mao Xiuyin listened to him. The Son of Heaven specially recited this poem, and he saw that he appreciated it very much.

Can the Son of Heaven really understand the meaning of this poem at his age?

"Why, does Mr. Motosuke think this poem is not good?"

Zhu Yijun chatted with Zhang Juzheng like a homely person, which made Zhang Juzheng rarely let down his guard, coughed and said: "Poetry is naturally good poetry, but the old minister thinks that it is a little inappropriate to write this poem at Ning Xiu's age." ”

In Zhang Juzheng's opinion, Ning Xiu is the same age as the Son of Heaven, and his understanding of feelings must not be thorough.

At this time, what is chanting, 'If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad painting fan.' Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable. Isn't there a suspicion of being pretentious and worrying about the use of new words?

If this poem is recited by someone like him who is over half a hundred years old, it will be right.

For an excellent young man like Ning Xiu, Zhang Juzheng has never been stingy with praise. But when they behave inappropriately, Zhang Juzheng will also point it out mercilessly.

He didn't know that Ning Xiu wrote this poem to deal with Liu Wenguang, a scholar of Wuchang Mansion, who deliberately made things difficult.

At that time, Liu Wenguang limited the death of the resentment poems, what else could Ning Xiu do if he didn't write the resentment poems?

"Maybe this Ning Xiu already has an old man? Lang is a concubine, and the childhood sweetheart is unknown. I have decided, if I have the opportunity, I must see this Ning Xiu with my own eyes. I just hope that he can fight for it. ”

......

......

Wuchang Mansion is the jurisdiction of the Huguang Political Division, and it is naturally prosperous.

Like many cities in the Ming Dynasty, Wuchang Mansion had a clear regional division.

The north of the city is the location of the palace of the king of Chu, the palace built is splendid, and the palaces are lined up one after another. The west of the city was a gathering place for wealthy merchants, while the east of the city was occupied by the mansions of dignitaries.

Only the south of the city is where ordinary people live. In addition, Qinglou wine shops, teahouses and gambling houses are also available.

Recently, a new green building has opened in the south of the city, called a sleeve house. It is said that the proprietor also opened such a smoke willow place in Jingzhou Mansion before.

For these industry veterans, as long as they are willing to make money to make connections, it is not difficult to get permission to open a green building in the city. Of course, the girl in the Qinglou must be a prostitute. Don't make up your mind about the official prostitutes who are registered in the Teaching Workshop Division, even if they want to serve, they are also serving high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and ordinary people are not blessed.

The top girl in this sleeve house is named Qisu, and she was also very famous in Jingzhou Mansion.

Although I don't know why she left Jingzhou and went to Wuchang, this incident did cause a lot of sensation in Wuchang.

Many scholars from Wuchang Mansion wanted to come to Yizhiju to see the beauty, but they all returned with a feather.

Qi Su announced to the public that he would attend the poetry meeting attended by the scholars of Wuchang Mansion and Jingzhou Mansion together, and refused all banquets before that.

This aroused the curiosity of the scholars of Wuchang Mansion even more.

Originally, those Wuchang scholars who did not plan to participate in the poetry meeting made up their minds improvised, and went to Liu Wenguang and Liu Xianggong's mansion to ask him to allow him to participate in the poetry meeting.

Liu Wenguang didn't think much about it, and then readily agreed.

In his opinion, the more people who participate in the poetry meeting, the more lively the better.

When he was in Jingzhou, he returned with a feather and lost face. Now we must make up for this face in Wuchang Mansion.

This glory naturally only makes sense when as many people as possible can witness.

More and more people participated in the poetry meeting, the original restaurant could not bear it, Liu Wenguang was worried, but the proprietor of the one-sleeved residence took the initiative to find him and expressed his willingness to host the poetry meeting.

Liu Wenguang made a little inquiry, but he was surprised.

This sleeve residence is a newly opened green building in Wuchang by Jingzhou people, and won't holding a poetry meeting in this place be noisy?

He was hesitant, but the words of the owner of the sleeve made him change his mind.

First, if he wants to regain face, it is obviously not enough to let people from Wuchang Mansion testify, but also need people from Jingzhou to testify.

Even if those scholars of Jingzhou Mansion were defeated, they would not admit the facts. This requires some inconsequential middleman. Businessmen are naturally the best choice, they don't involve interests, and they won't lie for the scholars of Jingzhou Mansion.

Second, to hold a poetry meeting in the Qinglou, it is natural to find a girl to accompany the wine, who is not willing to do romantic things?

After thinking about it, Liu Wenguang agreed and changed the place where the poetry meeting was held to a sleeve residence.

......

......

Seeing that it was the day of the poetry meeting, Liu Ru was so excited that he couldn't even sleep well.

In Jingzhou, although the Hedong Poetry Society won completely, the sensational effect was not enough.

Friend Ning's Mulan poem was so amazing that the scholars of Wuchang Mansion directly gave up resistance. What does it mean to surrender without a fight?

In addition, a sudden murder occurred at the poetry meeting, which diluted the refreshing feeling of winning.

Now the scholars of Wuchang Mansion are unwilling to be humiliated and propose to hold another poetry meeting for competition, and the location is changed to Wuchang Mansion.

If you can defeat it on the territory of the Wuchang Mansion Shizi, the refreshing feeling is by no means comparable to the previous poetry meeting.

The poetry meeting was held at noon, but Liu Ru got up early. Although the location of the poetry meeting has changed several times, Liu Ruyi does not care.

In his opinion, this is a manifestation of the lack of confidence of the Wuchang Mansion scholars led by Liu Wenguang.

Only those who are not confident will be strict in the external conditions, and those who are truly powerful can play their strength in any environment.

Liu Ru believes that under the leadership of Ning Xiu, the Hedong Poetry Society can complete the double killing of the scholars of Wuchang Mansion.

When Ning Xiu and the other scholars woke up one after another, Liu Ru gathered everyone to have breakfast together, and said many words of encouragement at breakfast.

It is his habit to encourage and cheer up before the poetry meeting. Although Liu Ru's own poetry level is very average, she is very good at grasping people's hearts. This kind of encouragement and encouragement can make the members of the poetry club adjust to the most excited state and perform at a super level.

With Ning Xiu here, the Hedong Poetry Society will undoubtedly win. If you play at a higher level, won't you make the scholars of Wuchang Mansion ashamed to burrow into the cracks of the ground?
