In fact, Lu Jin's remarks were not aimed at the scholars on the bow of the boat below, but Xu Chengzong asked about it, and he told the truth about his understanding of history.

But those scholars didn't think so, such remarks that directly denied their evaluation of the slender man and Emperor Yang of Sui really made them feel very embarrassed, and the faces of the three of them became gloomy for a while. It's just that although I was angry in my heart, I didn't dare to attack for a while.

Lu Jinneng was treated as a guest by Xu Gongzi, and stayed in the cabin of Erzeng to drink with him, compared to the three of them who were sent away, he obviously had a higher status, if he turned his face at this time, I am afraid that he would greatly offend Xu Gongzi, which would be too much to lose. So although a few people didn't know Lu Jin's true identity, they could only hold back for the time being.

Xu Chengzong heard it with a flutter of eyebrows, and applauded again and again: "Okay, I didn't expect that Brother Lu, your knowledge is so superhuman, it really makes me feel admired." To be honest, in the past, when I listened to my father and brother, as well as those Mr. Xixi, they were just clichés when they talked about the past and the present, but you can make a statement that your ancestors have never made, but if you think about it carefully, it makes some sense. For this insight alone, I should have three toasts to you! ”

"Xu Gongzi has an overreputation, and he is just saying some superficial opinions, as I said just now, some things can be appreciated as long as you look in a different direction."

"Well, when you think about it, most of what is said in those books is not true." Xu Chengzong was a little excited to fill a cup for Lu Zhen personally, and then did it first.

Lu Zhen couldn't help but laugh a little when he saw him behave like this. It seems that this Xu Gongzi also has a lot of deviant thoughts, but there is just one less way, and now he is awakened by his own words, I am afraid that there will be one more noble son who does not abide by the rules in Nanjing in the future.

"Ridiculous!" At this moment, a cold rebuke suddenly came from below, but finally someone couldn't help but open his mouth to refute: "You young man is really bold, you dare to even question the statement in the sage book, it is really bold and absurd to the extreme!" ”

Lu Zhen looked down and saw that the oldest scribe sitting at the top of the three had already stood up and looked straight up, his face gloomy. He remembered that this person's surname was Wang, but he had been promoted to the rank of scholar but had not been able to be promoted to the rank of jinshi, but he was already the one with the highest reputation among the three.

Obviously, it is precisely because of the identity of the person that this person has more confidence than the other two, although he knows that Lu Zhen is valued by Xu Chengzong, he still dares to refute.

In this regard, Xu Chengzong didn't have much anger or dissatisfaction, just glanced at Lu Zhen with a smile to see what his reaction was. Lu Zhen saw that he looked like he was going to watch a play, so he smiled bitterly, it seems that the few words of Xu Dagongzi just now echoed and touted him probably also had the intention of provoking the relationship between himself and the three people below. This gentleman is really a master who likes to make trouble.

But since everyone is directly calling for it, of course Lu Zhen is not easy to retreat, so he said leisurely: "What I am talking about below are some points of view in the history books, but they have little to do with the sage book, Brother Wang, you don't want to wronged me." ”

"Even so, the author of the history book is also a sage of the ancients, how can you, a milky child, judge in vain?" Wang Juren immediately replied. Now that he has spoken, he has no intention of backing down.

Lu Zhen smiled: "It's better to believe in books than to have no books, don't you even understand this truth, Brother Wang?" If what the predecessors said is true and cannot be refuted, then what do we need to do with those who are studying? As for whether you are qualified to comment on the sages, it has nothing to do with age. ”

"You ......" Wang Juren didn't expect this young man's words to be so sharp, and he didn't give himself a senior face, and his face suddenly turned red, and he didn't know how to speak to refute it.

And although the two people around him were also dissatisfied with Lu Jin's words, they did not open their mouths to help. The three of them seem to be sitting together, but in fact, there is also a competitive relationship, especially this Wang Juren, relying on his own fame, always wants to suppress the remaining two, so seeing his embarrassed and angry appearance at this time, the other two are still full of joy in their hearts, and it is impossible to say anything to help.

Xu Chengzong glanced at Lu Jin, and the smile in his eyes was even greater: "Lao Wang, what Lu Gongzi said is also right, the sages must be respected, but if we don't even show our own opinions, I'm afraid that even if we go down to see them in the future, I'm afraid that we will be laughed at by these people, right?" You tell me? ”

Xu Gongzi opened his mouth, Wang Juren didn't dare to object, so he could only say yes, saying that he was confused for a while, and finally revealed this section. But in this way, the three of them had no face to continue drinking below, and soon each found a reason to go back to their cabins to rest.

It was Lu Zhen and the others who continued to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the canal while tasting a slow drink. After drinking two glasses, Lu Zhen finally couldn't help it: "Xu Gongzi, you did it on purpose, right?" ”

"Ha, you've seen that." In the face of the questioning, Xu Chengzong didn't see the slightest weakness, and nodded very shamefully and said: "When these guys are in the capital, they always use some sage words, and Li Min is born to annoy me. Now that they're all on the boat, I'm still here, and I can't help it, so I thought of asking you to take a shot at them. ”

"This ...... They are the people that your Xu Gongzi values. "What Lu Jin's words mean is that they are all brought by you, why do you get tired of them? If that were the case, wouldn't it be nice to drive them away?

Xu Chengzong raised his glass and took a sip of wine, and then said helplessly: "Isn't this to give my brother an explanation?" In the past, he always said that I don't know how to learn, I only know how to fight cocks and lackeys with people, and I should get closer to learned people. That's why I found a few learned people in the capital to live with and brought them back to Nanjing, so that my brother would not be able to say anything about me. I didn't expect it...... These guys are more annoying than my brother's, hey, it's hard to drive them away now, otherwise there will be people in Shilin who will have to talk about it, and there will be no ......."

Lu Zhen glanced at him with some amusement, not knowing whether to say that he had done it himself. In fact, such things are the norm among today's powerful and wealthy families. These families with status and power like to support some scholars, so that they or their children and nephews can be recognized by the people in Shilin. It's just that I didn't expect Xu Chengzong to have such an attitude towards them.

But then, Lu Zhen frowned again: "You are using me as a gunman, if I offend them like this, my reputation will not be so good in the future." ”

"What's this? You are an official, and they don't dare to be your enemy. What's more, Ben Gongzi has helped you so many times before, so you should help me back once. Xu Chengzong didn't feel guilty, but put forward such a reason. Although the argument is a bit scoundrel, it is also unobjectionable.

So Lu Zhen had no choice but to smile bitterly: "That's it, even if I help you back once." ”

No, Xu Chengzong blinked and smiled: "You have only helped half of it, and the other half has to be saved for the evening, so you don't want to run away at that time." ”

"Huh? What do you mean by that? ”

"You see that the water on this canal is clear and the breeze is slow, the scenery is pleasant, and today coincides with the full moon, so the beautiful scenery of such a good day, should you write poems and lyrics to express your heart?" Xu Chengzong said suddenly.

Lu Jin was stunned for a moment, and then understood: "Are you going to let me fight with them for poetry couplets or something?" ”

"Exactly! Brother Lu, you are also a well-educated person who has been admitted to the Jinshi in the juvenile examination, and you must be much better than them in such things. When the time comes, you will be able to calm them down, and you will save the three of them from always making noise in the ears of my son. Xu Chengzong said and arched his hand as if grateful.

Lu Jin's whole face turned a little blue, God knows how unfamiliar he is with this kind of poetic couplet. Although I have read a lot of related stories or documents before, those are just a pastime, and I forget them when I see them. It's almost impossible to take it out now.

If it were the era before the Tang and Song dynasties, Lu Zhen would still be able to rely on his memory to memorize a few famous poems that have been passed down through the ages. But now it's the Ming Dynasty, and those famous poems have long been circulated, where did he go to find good ones?

What's more, there are couplets, and maybe even things like a liquor order. This kind of special examination of the reader's skills such as rhythm and eight strands is completely another world for Lu Jin. But now, Xu Chengzong actually wants to compete with those guys who study hard, and it is almost an impossible task.

"Master Xu, please forgive me for not being able to do anything, I really can't do this." Lu Zhen is not the kind of person who wants to save face and slap a swollen face and become fat, since he can't do it, he simply admits it directly.

Unexpectedly, Xu Chengzong shook his head and said: "Brother Lu, don't be modest, I believe that with your knowledge, you will definitely make these guys dare not talk about poetry and literature again." You don't have to give me face, just let it go. ”

I'm going to rush you, mother! Lu Zhen almost blurted out something swearing, why can't this Xu Chengzong understand his own words? But seeing his solemn appearance, Lu Zhen sighed again, knowing that it was indeed impossible to refuse this time, otherwise I was afraid that I would offend him.

Compared with offending Xu Gongzi, it seems that the latter is more terrifying. Now the only choice is to agree first, and then take a step at a time. I just hope that by then I can remember some verses written by "later" poets.

Seeing Lu Jin's somewhat tangled appearance, Xu Chengzong smiled happily, but he didn't know whether he was trying to silence the three of them, or to make fun of Lu Jin......
