Chapter Eighty-Five: Avoiding the Snow to Wu Ting (4)
Kong Sheng's words, especially the criticism of Li Ju, the vague accusation of King Qiu, aroused Li Xuan's great disgust.
Li Xuan frowned, and said coldly: "Brother Confucius is a scholar from Jiangnan, he doesn't know the situation in Henan, and he blindly talks about it, which is not only suspected of talking on paper, but also unfair. What do you mean by fighting in silos? That's a situation! Today, tens of thousands of soldiers are guarding the Jianghuai and fighting with the thieves, even if our generation does not devote themselves to serving the country, but they cannot raise the ambition of the thieves and destroy their prestige! β
Kong Sheng was stunned and glanced at Li Xuan.
He originally felt that he had no motive to discuss the current situation and the war situation, let alone underestimate the soldiers and horses of the imperial court who were fighting against thieves in Henan, but unexpectedly, his unintentional words caused Li Xuan's fierce backlash, and he had doubts in his heart, so he smiled and closed his mouth and didn't want to continue the topic.
The so-called words are not speculative for more than half a sentence, since they can't be said together, why bother to communicate again?
Unexpectedly, Li Xuan's naturally proud and unyielding temperament, seeing that his rebuttal did not cause Kong Sheng to feel even the slightest "shame", he was even more dissatisfied, and his words were already a little pyrotechnic: "The thief rebels, and the world should punish him!" But now you Jiangnan scholars and people only know the wind and snow, and you don't know how to fight against thieves to serve the court, which is really disappointing! β
"I came to Jiangnan and walked this experience, and I saw Shenggeyan Dance and Zhumen wine smell everywhere, but I don't know if the thief is big, and hundreds of thousands of iron horses go straight down to Jiangnan, then, can there be any freedom today? And Brother Confucius and his ilk are elegant scholars, do you still have the leisure to dance and write? β
When Li Xuan said this, not only did he look angry, but his voice was full of mockery, and he was much sharper and higher-pitched. He didn't know how to hide his anger, and the signs of the female voice became heavier.
Of course, Li Xuan's righteous indignant words were not entirely from Kong Sheng. He has been in Jiangnan for more than a month, and he has been singing and dancing everywhere he goes, and he has not been affected by the thief rebellion in the slightest, and the indifference shown by the officials and people in Jiangnan to the anti-Japanese war in Jiangbei has long formed a deep pain in Li Xuan's heart.
has been angry for a long time, so he took advantage of Kong Sheng's words to vent it.
Kong Sheng frowned, although Li Xuan's words reflected the current situation in Jiangnan, it was a bit too much to kill all the soldiers and civilians of Jiangnan with a stick.
"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband. In fact, there are many people of insight among the scholars in Jiangnan, and Jiangnan sings and dances everywhere, which does not mean that the military and civilians in Jiangnan are indifferent to state affairs, Li Gongzi's words are still a little extreme. Kong Sheng tucked his hands into his cuffs, raised his head, and his expression became calmer.
"Oh? There are even people of insight among the Jiangnan scholars who rise up to resist the thieves? Along the way, all you see and hear is a world of wine, is the so-called person of insight - just like Brother Confucius at the poetry meeting vassal elegance, on the paper to express a few lines of poetry to express lofty ambitions? The so-called 'ambition to eat Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty to drink the blood of thieves' is not spoken, but made by real knives and guns, throwing heads and spilling blood! β
"In the face of the rebels' iron cavalry and tens of millions of bloody battles, do such elegant scholars like Brother Kong still have the courage to talk and laugh?"
Li Xuan sneered, and Huo Ran got up.
Kong Sheng's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. This Li Xuan actually quoted two lines of poetry from the previous Man Jianghong, which shows that he is a "person with a heart". Of course, it is more resentful and dissatisfied, looking down on the status quo of Jiangnan Bian'an, otherwise, he would not hide a knife in such words.
But Kong Sheng didn't want to argue with this Li Xuan on such a boring topic, let alone fight about who was right and who was wrong, seeing that he was emotional, and he didn't think much of himself, he simply smiled slightly, turned his head and looked away - outside the pavilion, the snow gradually stopped, and on the official road not far away, three or two pedestrians in robes were struggling to step on the snow.
The atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly became a little awkward and dreary.
Li Xuan's aggressive words did not get Kong Sheng's counterattack, which made Li Xuan a little embarrassed while being indignant. He slowly turned around and glanced at Kong Sheng, and saw that this famous scholar and young man in Jiangnan was smiling and calm, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze, and somehow, the fire in his belly dissipated little by little.
He did hear Kong Sheng's name when he was in Pengcheng. Kong Sheng's masterpieces, especially the mournful swan song of the long hatred song, accompanied by the caravans in and out of Jiangnan, have long been introduced to Jiangbei and Henan, but they are far less popular and widely sung than in Jiangnan. As for the Jinling table, because Henan is the main battlefield of the war, the news is not smooth, and the expression with the approval of the new emperor Li Heng has not yet been transmitted to Pengcheng.
Li Xuan didn't expect that Xiang Wu Ting, who was outside Runzhou City, could meet Kong Sheng, a well-known Jiangnan genius for a long time. It's just that after this conversation, Li Xuan's good impression of Kong Sheng has decreased a lot, and he is also regarded as a sour and rotten scribe who can only move his mouth, and he is very disappointed in his heart.
If Li Xuan knew that Kong Sheng at this moment was already a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven and the order of Songcheng County in Suiyang, who was canonized by the imperial court, and was going to the national disaster without fear of hardships and dangers, I don't know how he would feel.
For Li Xuan's aggressiveness and condescending, Mu Changfeng was better, and the Wuxian Wujie brothers couldn't listen to it for a long time, and the two couldn't help but open their mouths to refute two sentences, speaking for Kong Sheng, but they were stopped by Kong Sheng with a look.
Wu Xian stomped his feet in annoyance, snorted coldly, and turned his head to look out of the pavilion. He is a palace guard, although his official position is humble, he is still from the forbidden army after all, and his heart is also high. Kong Sheng is despised, which is undoubtedly equivalent to them being looked down upon, and they are naturally unhappy.
Especially the rude and arrogant servant, if he didn't want to cause trouble and cause unnecessary trouble, Wu Xian would have revealed his identity and slapped this guy hard.
Wu Xie exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, and then exhaled a breath of fresh air, exhaling a cold breath.
Where would Kong Sheng care about the views and perceptions of a passer-by. Even if this person has a great background and an extraordinary background, it will not stir up a trace of waves in Kong Sheng's heart.
He hurriedly went into the city to rest, and after recuperating his energy, he continued to hurry, and when he saw that the snow had stopped, he got up and hugged Li Xuan: "I'll wait to enter the city, Li Gongzi, don't pass by, he will meet again every day!" β
This is a routine of kind words and scene words, in fact, no one expects to see each other again in the future.
After Kong Sheng finished speaking, he beckoned Mu Changfeng and the three of them to lead the horses to leave Xiang Wu Ting and turned onto the official road leading to Runzhou City.
Behind him, Li Xuan's shrill and indifferent chuckle mixed with the sound of the whistling north wind faintly came: "Boastful talk, false appearance, the so-called Jiangnan genius turned out to be this virtue, it's really disappointing." β
