Chapter 199: Trouble Begins in the Capital
The rumors in the market are getting more and more powerful, but in just a few days, everyone from the princes and nobles to the peddlers and pawns know what Luo Yan said. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The people heard that there was a good show to watch, and their eyes were waiting for someone to jump out and raise the bar with Luo Yan. When the scholars heard this, they fell into a short period of thought.
For a time, the hottest topic in Chang'an was Luo Yan's poetry reform. But for such an important matter, no one has come out to oppose it for almost half a month. Could it be that those who spread the news were wrong at the beginning, and this time Luo Yan really did something that no one was against him? Just when the people were waiting a little impatiently and wanted to withdraw their spirits and change the topic to chat, suddenly someone jumped out to compete with Luo Yan.
The person who argues with Luo Yan is called Xiao Chang, and he is also of the same clan as Xiao Yu. The Xiao family has gone from the royal family to the royal family, and many branch families have been relatively wealthy for many years. Xiao Chang is thirty years old, but he has received strict family education since he was a child, and he has not wasted his time until now. Although they are not as famous as the two Govinda brothers who are about the same age, they are still somewhat famous in Chang'an, with their family background and talents.
I don't know what stimulated this person, but when many literati were still watching, one day there was a banquet where suddenly there was such a sentence: "I want to be Luoyan, I want to be famous because I want to go crazy." This poem was originally a thing for literati like us to entertain ourselves, and I had to add a lot of meanings to it. What is said that the verse is full of beautiful sounds, but it must be said that there is something. Doesn't this just want to use his set to gain a clear reputation in Shilin? ”
It is not easy for literati to be light, and at this time, Xiao Chang took the lead, and some people who had long been unhappy with Luo Yan's growing reputation in the literary world also joined the team of verbal criticism and writing at this moment. According to Luo Yan, many people used to write poems in this style, are they all inferior? It's just that the more Luo Yan's words are pulled, the wider the attack. Just like courting allies in officialdom, for a while, some people who originally thought that it was none of their business did not drag themselves into the water.
After all, the poetry reform planned by Luo Yan was only his idea. At this moment, there are countless people crowded to pick on him, how can there be no loopholes.
After Xiao Chang, a great god came out, that is, Shangguan Yi. At this time, Shangguanyi had just returned to the world, but the family history, coupled with the fact that he studied more Buddhist scriptures and scriptures when he took refuge as a monk, and his talent in the womb should not be underestimated. Yang Rengong, the governor of Yangzhou, appreciated him and directly recommended him to enter Beijing to participate in the scientific examination. At this time, he was worried that he would not have any chance to expand his reputation and repay Yang Rengong for his kindness, but he didn't expect Luo Yan to send it to the door.
In Shangguanyi's eyes, although Luo Yan has won the trust of Li Shimin, and the lord is not low. But if you really want to talk about learning, according to the poems that Shangguan Yi has collected in his hand, it is not enough. After coming to Chang'an, Shangguanyi also visited the predecessors of the literary world. After getting a lot of Confucian evaluations of "wrong and charming", Shangguan Yi is also quite complacent. This style is born from Qi Liang's legacy, but more and more attention is paid to rhetoric.
After traveling to Chang'an for so long, there is an endless stream of scholars who discuss poetry with him. However, there are often people who miss the original Luo Xiaoshu, which makes Shangguan Yi extremely dissatisfied. Or jealousy, it would be more appropriate.
I heard that Luo Yan was engaged in poetry reform, and the objects of criticism obviously included poems in his style. Shangguan Yi is also a young man, how can he stand being talked about like this by a person of the same age. After sorting out the content of Luo Yan's lecture in Jinzhou, after repeated confirmation, Shangguan Yi began to concoct his first article bombarding Luo Yan.
"Poetry also. The upper effect of the "Book of Songs", the lower inheritance of Han music. Time has changed, and generations have changed. The five words are concise, and they can write everything in the world; The seven characters are continuous, and the world is prosperous. Li Shu is ignorant, and it is difficult to understand the elegance of the meantime; Scholars are knowledgeable and can distinguish twists and turns. The rebellion of the Wei and Jin dynasties was plain and plain; Qi Liang is rich, and only then does he give birth to gorgeous chapters and sentences. The troubled times are at the beginning, and they are thriving in the season. Mingjun has arrived, just when it is beautiful and beautiful. …… In the words of the common people, isn't it embarrassing to talk about the romance of scholars? The beauty of the rhetoric is endless, not what I take, but what the time and things give. Now you want to use the words of a family, and the bad self is poetic, and his heart can be punished. ”
The article attributed the reason why these people wrote gorgeous poems to the general trend, and believed that the poetry reform that Luo Yan wanted to carry out was to ruin their future. Shangguan Yi was originally working on words, and as soon as this article came out, coupled with a few small poems by him satirizing Luo Yan, it caused another storm in Chang'an. More and more anti-Luo camps have copied this article and memorized it, and whenever they discuss it with others, they just shake their heads and memorize a few sentences of this article, and then they talk at length.
For a while, there was an illusion that Luo Yan was pressed by these statements without any rebuttal. Because now Chang'an can only hear Shangguan Yi's remarks, on the other hand, Luo Yan has no news at all. However, people seem to have forgotten that Luo Yan is not in Chang'an at the moment.
When Luo Yan received Shangguanyi's work, it was already after the imperial examination. And what hit Luo Yan more was that Shangguan Yi happened to be the Jinshi of Jinke. In the eyes of others, it is undoubtedly that even the official has recognized Shangguanyi's statement. After all, for a person like Luo Yan, if the people in the ministry were a little scruples, Shangguan Yi would be easily deposed. This poetic revolution seems destined to die at the hands of Royan.
With this in mind, many people began to make friends with Shangguan Yi and others. At the same time, with the general trend, more and more people began to crusade against Qi Luoyanlai.
Jinzhou, a person who had good things on this day, collected the words and articles that insulted Luo Yan in Chang'an into a book and sent them to Luo Yan. This is the fourth time in the past ten days, and in just half a month from the scientific expedition to now, the articles and poems that Luo Yan has in his hands to refute him add up to three inches thick. This is almost catching up with the paperwork that Luo Yan had dealt with in Lantian Banyue before.
Looking at the increasingly fierce words above, Luo Yan finally made up his mind to refute these people to speechlessness in one fell swoop.
These people have said so much nonsense, but they have not found that there is an extremely important flaw in their own refutation of Luo Yan's words, that is, they have gone to the source of the poem.
How the "Book of Songs" came about, as long as anyone who has read it knows, is a compilation of folk songs and ritual music. And the national style is a considerable part. As a work personally collected and compiled by the Confucian sage, it has been regarded as a Confucian classic for many years. If you don't talk about Confucianism, you will be embarrassed to say that you are a reader. Since Sage Confucius did this, it is obviously to tell people a truth, poetry and articles should be appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar.
The Wei and Jin dynasties were the trough of Confucianism, and now many people read Confucian classics, and they are indeed inferior to Taoism. At this time, the problem comes, you keep saying that time changes, and I also want to say that everything will not deviate from its origin. The original intention of the poem is to educate, is it possible that now that Ming Jun has succeeded to the throne, he wants you to wait for the life of this drunken gold fan?
Unexpectedly, these people argued and let Luo Yan argue in a way of evidence.
Luo Yan wrote a brief rebuttal and sent someone to Chang'an. didn't even mean to invite Lu Deming and other great Confucians to come forward, Luo Yan just asked people to post his article at the door of the natural residence, turn around and leave. What kind of place is the natural residence, a place where only the educated and well-educated people can go. As soon as the people sent by Luo Yan posted the article, someone immediately came up.
Those who can come to the natural residence basically recognize two words more or less. Even if I don't know it, there is also a kind person standing in front of him, reading the article aloud, so that the people behind him can hear it clearly. What is surprising is that Luo Yan's rebuttal this time is quite fierce, but he rarely attacks others. This is obviously not in line with Luo Yan's style, which time he suffered a loss, he didn't put people to death.
However, after seeing the last sentence, many people understood what Luo Yan meant. In literary arguments, unless some people have personal and moral faults, he will not easily point the finger at anyone. Either one side convinces the other, or finds a more reliable argument to refute him.
Some people with a neutral attitude couldn't help but shout hello for Luo Yan twice. The first is the basis for praising him. These days, those rebuttal parties are turning over and over every day for a few reasons, and now that Luo Yan wants to say this, the other party's statement is obviously untenable. The second voice praised Luo Yan as a real literati. Ideological disputes have always been more important than political disputes. Luo Yan did not intend to oppress people with power, on the contrary, he was very generous not to pester those who abused him, this attitude could not be better in Shilin.
At this time, many people borrowed pen and ink from the natural residence and copied Luo Yan's article. And some people who strongly supported Luo Yan even copied several copies and sent people to post them in the downtown area, hoping to spread Luo Yan's article more quickly in this way.
And as these people wished, it did work quite a bit. Within half a day, Li Shimin in the palace had Luo Yan's article in his hands.
At this moment, Li Shimin was chatting with Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson, and Wuji. Li Shimin, who has always liked literature, was also aggrieved when he saw Luo Yan's words. As an emperor, when he had not succeeded to the throne at the beginning, the few poems he occasionally wrote were also the kind of gold and jade words in Luo Yan's mouth. As soon as he heard Luo Yan's words, Li Shimin's face turned red with shame.
Fortunately, the state affairs were busy later, and they forgot about this stubble. It wasn't until the eldest grandson Wuji brought the results of the scientific examination for him to rank that he remembered that this Shangguan Yi was the one who scolded Luo Yan the most. It just so happens that Shangguanyi's own talent and learning are very solid, and the current affairs and poetry are all first-class.
After the approval, Li Shimin was still happy, and finally someone was able to suppress Luo Yan, seeing that this kid would still be in front of him in the future. Who would have thought that Luo Yan's rebuttal would come so soon. Moreover, it is simply all kinds of arguments for abusing Shangguanyi.
At this moment, Li Shimin was holding a piece of paper, and his hands were a little shaky. (To be continued.) )
