Chapter 43 Tang Chuan Poetry Club (8) He is a son-in-law

Although Ran Min, the king of Wuzhuo, is a hero of the Han family, he is not liked by those in power, Zuo Gongyou, the mountain chief of Jinling Lanting Academy, stood up and diverted the topic, and said: "I am the ancient capital of Jinling, and I have produced talents since ancient times, although the book "Shooting the Condor" is only a book, the poems in it are good!" ”

The old master shook his head and read: "'The peaks and mountains are like gathering, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are like Tongguan Road. Looking at the western capital, he hesitated. Sad, the Qin and Han dynasties, the palace and thousands of rooms have been made of soil. Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer!' This poem touched the old man deeply, and this is a word that can only be written by people who deeply understand the people's livelihood. Mr. Ling Xiao has pity for the people, why not go to my Jinling Lanting Academy to study, the imperial examination, the next day outside the Donghua Gate roll call, you can also show what you have learned to realize your ambitions! ”

This is the most straightforward invitation that the old master sent to Wang Yu.

Many people in the hall looked at Wang Yu, who was dressed in white but smiling proudly, and their hearts were full of jealousy and envy.

The influence of Jinling Lanting Academy is still above the Egret Academy, and most people in the world refer to it as Jinling Academy.

Zuo Gongyou and Wang Yu's previous elders, Lu Feng, the head of the Egret Academy, are also known as the Great Confucians of Jiangnan.

At this time, although he has been a scholar, he has been a provincial scholar, and he is a well-known Confucian sage in the sea, admired by others, colleagues, friends, and protégés, as long as Wang Yu enters Jinling Academy, with the invitation sent by Zuo Gongyou today, it is natural to teach in person, and even accept Wang Yu as an apprentice. Wang Yu just nodded and embarked on the fast track of life.

Before Wang Yu could answer, a voice in the hall called out: "Mountain Chief, this person is my Xiao family's son-in-law Wang Yu, in order to join my Xiao family, he even did not hesitate to let Mr. Lu Feng, the head of Bailu Academy, vomit blood three liters, don't let him go to our Jinling Academy to study Wow, he is just a son-in-law, he will make my Jinling Academy humiliated, and I will never be able to raise my head!" ”

It was Xiao Wenbin who spoke, with the money in his family, he was not qualified to participate in the Tangchuan Poetry Club, but he also let him mix in with the talents of Jinling Academy.

"Son-in-law?!"

The lethality of these two words is extremely great, some time ago, the good brother of the Egret Academy entered the house of the merchant Jia, and the story of Lu Feng, the head of the Egret Academy, who vomited blood three liters in anger, was widely spread, but I didn't expect to see it alive today. The dog thing is really as beautiful as it is rumored!

The whole hall was silent, and many people looked at Wang Yu with admiration and contempt, but some people felt sorry that as a son-in-law, the road to the imperial examination was broken.

"You're a son-in-law?!"

Zuo Gongyou read it in his mouth, suddenly turned his head, his face was already iron-blue, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiao Wenbin and said, "If you don't fork this person out of the old man, when will you wait?" ”

Seeing that the mountain chief was angry, a group of talented people from Jinling Academy didn't dare to protect Xiao Wenbin, and hurriedly beckoned the two servants to pull Xiao Wenbin out.

Zuo Gongyou saw that Xiao Wenbin was kicked out of the poetry club, turned around, and his face became warm and kind when he faced Wang Yu.

Zuo Gongyou said: "The hero doesn't ask where he comes from, Han Xin was also humiliated by his crotch, the old man's proposal remains unchanged, Wang Yu, are you willing to go to my Jinling Academy to study and take the imperial examination?" ”

Zuo Gongyou has already shown amazing courage, you must know that Lu Feng, who is also a great Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River, was so angry that he vomited blood after hearing that Wang Yu had entered the Xiao family!

Wang Yu sighed, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Zuo Gong has good intentions, but I have already - I don't care about the imperial examination." ”

"Confused!"

Zuo Gongyou shouted angrily, took two steps forward and said, "Are you worried that you will be trapped by the Xiao family and will not be able to start a business?" Don't worry, there is an old man who comes forward, a businesswoman, and can't trap the seeds of our Jiangnan scholars! ”

Zuo Gongyou's words were reasonable, but everyone nodded yes, as long as the sage of Shilin spoke, a small businessman could easily disappear.

From the proud eyes of everyone, Wang Yu once again felt the class advantage of the scholars over the merchants.

Wang Yu really wanted to say that you should let go of the Xiao family, anyway, there are no good things in their family, after thinking about it, he still said cautiously:

"Sir has good intentions, but I don't care about the imperial examination anymore! Read millions of books, but in this life, I don't want to write anymore - a piece of eight shares! ”

Wang Yuyun said a few words lightly, and his expression was full of contempt for the imperial examination and the Eight Shares of Scholars.

Zuo Gongyou was a little angry, and said angrily: "Confused, now only the imperial examination can wash away the stigma on your body, the words are just Xiao Daoer, the imperial examination - the title of the gold list can glorify the ancestors and wash away the dirt on your body!" ”

What Zuo Gongyou said can't be said to be wrong, the reason why scholars are expensive in these years is naturally because they have studied for the imperial examination, been an official, and become a member of the ruling class, so that they can glorify their ancestors and realize their ideals in life.

It's just that Wang Yu still has some bottom lines, and he doesn't want to be angry with others for the sins that his father has done.

In the face of Zuo Gongyou's ardent expectations, Wang Yu can't say that he became a son-in-law because of his own old man's arrangement on the pole, which would be said to be unfilial piety, and he would deduct for his father under Jiuquan, and Wang Yu couldn't say that the time of the Great Song Dynasty was short, so he would be scolded for disloyalty, and he would probably be beaten to death.

Wang Yu thought for a while and said: "I distorted the true meaning of Confucianism in the imperial examination, and after understanding this principle, I disdain it." ”

"What? Ru'an dares to question the great cause of the imperial examination? ”

Zuo Gongyou's old face suddenly turned red, and before he could drink Wang Yu anymore, he heard Wang Yu say with a straight face: "A gentleman has six arts, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics."

I take the imperial examination to eight shares, the township examination, the examination barely involved the ceremony, the book two subjects, the children of the official eunuchs, know that the official also involves the number of subjects, will also learn one or two, but more lifts, the time is spent on the four books and five classics, a piece of eight shares for life, many Confucian children become only reading, reading dead books, Hao Shou poor scriptures to find chapters and sentences, just to be admitted to the useless eight shares, but do not know the way of shooting, royal, and I am exhausted in the army, before there is the alliance of Tanyuan, after the shame of Yingzong Beijiao, all because of this! ”

Wang Yu was talking about the current situation of the imperial examination, Zuo Gongyou wanted to refute but couldn't talk about it, but someone stood up to refute Wang Yu.

"Mr. Ling Xiao is wrong, the military fatigue of our DPRK lies in the lack of war horses, and in the national policy of using civil and military forces, so that a civilian commander of the three armies still wants to win the war, it is really difficult for a strong man!"

The mouth of the speaker was full of resentment, it was Di Huaiyu, who was born in Jiangmen, and when it came to the national policy of the dynasty to unify the military with literature, Di Huaiyu even showed resentment on his face.

What happened to Di Qing is a shame for all soldiers!

Those soldiers who had fought side by side with Di Qing didn't want to kill those damn "big turbans" with one sword!

Wang Yu sighed, shook his head and said: "Di Tuiguan is a little biased, there is not one or the other between the civil and military, let's not say that Chen Qing, who is a famous teacher and general, is not imprisoned, and thousands of troops avoid white robes, has no power to restrain the chicken, let's just say that Zhuge Wuhou, Zhou Lang, Zhou Gongjin, Lu Su and Lu Zijing, which one of the people discussed just now can't reward the three armies?" Which one doesn't have a brilliant literary brilliance? ”

Wang Yu said with a smile: "It's not that civil officials can't command military affairs, but that our imperial examination is biased, which has created that today's scholars can't be both civil and military, like the sages of the Tang Dynasty, and can only write eight strands lamely, and they are useless scholars!" ”

This topic is a bit in-depth, and it is okay to discuss it in a small group among several officials, but it is a bit out of place to discuss it in a poetry club in a large court.

This is in conflict with the "Holy Dao" in the minds of readers, but Zuo Gongyou and Di Huaiyu can't say that Wang Yu is wrong, so they can only give up their previous proposal.
