Guo Ye smiled and said, "Xiao Zhuangzi, what you said is biased. In our imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, it is true that Jinshi is the most expensive, but Jinshi is not only a test of poetry and songs. The Jinshi course mainly examines scripture and current affairs, and poetry is just an additional test. ”

Xiao Zhuangzi said unconvinced: "Of course I know this, but whether you can be a jinshi or not, in the end, it depends on whether the poem is well written, you have to admit it, right?" ”

Guo Yedao: "That's because it's difficult to distinguish between the scriptures and the current affairs, so in the end, I used poetry to do the extra test." To put it bluntly, the poetry is well done, which shows that this person is very smart. But to say how important poetry itself is, that's not necessarily. ”

"Strong words!" Xiao Zhuangzi said: "A thousand years later, who still remembers those emperors and generals?" Who cares how the people were back then? Only poetry and songs can be passed down through the ages! This is the original intention of the imperial court Jinshi Kejia test poetry. ”

Guo Ye shook his head and said, "It's not just poetry and songs that can be passed down through the ages. For example, the Suiren clan drills wood to make fire, for example, there is a nest of Chao's wood, for example, Shennong tastes a hundred herbs, haven't these been passed down through the ages? ”

"Those people are all Ancient Saint Kings, how can they be the same?"

"Okay, let's not talk about them, let's talk about those that are closer to us, Cai Lun made paper, Liu An invented tofu ......"

Xiao Zhuangzi can be taken care of now, and said: "Laughing to death, Liu An's invention of tofu has been taken out by you to talk about it." If you ask someone, how many people know that tofu was invented by Liu An, I'm afraid many people don't know. Is this called being passed down through the ages? ”

"That's because there are too many people who are as ignorant as you now." Guo Yedao: "I can guarantee that after a thousand years, those who invented new things will be deeply remembered." As for poetry, songs......"

Speaking of this, he shook his head slightly and said, "Like all walks of life, except for a few top figures, not many people know. ”

Xiao Zhuangzi rolled his eyes and said, "Yo, if you can't talk about me, what will happen after a thousand years?" Could it be that you are not only excellent in martial arts, but also can you pinch and calculate? ”

"Uh...... Even if you don't talk about a thousand years later, just talk about the present. ”

Guo Yedao: "Even if poetry and poetry can be passed down through the ages, so what? It doesn't mean much other than to make the court have some brilliance on its face. Let's go to the countryside to ask the old farmer, and go to the East Market to ask the merchant guy. Do they care about the quality of poetry and songs? ”

"Those people are vulgar......"

"Vulgar? Hmph, there are no farmers to grow food, what do you eat? No one picks mulberries and raises silkworms, what do you wear? There are no merchants who work hard to sell, and you sit at home, and these things come to your house with long legs on their own? ”

"I ...... I didn't mean that either. Xiao Zhuangzi also felt that what he said just now was a bit excessive, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's just ...... Just ......"

"Just what? Your Majesty has said that the people are like water, and the king is like a boat. The water can carry a boat, or it can cover the circumference. Your Majesty doesn't dare to underestimate the people, you are smarter than Your Majesty? ”

"Of course not."

Guo Ye was unforgiving, and continued: "Tell you, only knowledge that can make the people live a good life is true learning. Poetry and songs are just icing on the cake, they can only be regarded as a small road, and they cannot be elegant. ”

"You...... You ......" Xiao Zhuangzi was robbed by him for a while, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, and tears were about to flow.

Li Zhi hurriedly said: "Xiao Zhuangzi is young and ignorant, don't be like her." ”

Xiao Zhuangzi said angrily: "You also help him speak? Although I can't talk about him, I also know that poetry and poetry are definitely not as useless as he says. ”

Guo Ye said: "It's not useless, didn't I say it?" It's like a man's eyebrows, although they are important, but there are too many things that are more important than him. ”

Xiao Zhuangzi pouted and said, "Hmph, I understand." You yourself rose to a high position by virtue of your military exploits, and you became rich in the world by inventing things such as glass and soap, but you don't know anything about poetry and poetry, so you deliberately use belittling poetry to cover up your incompetence! ”

"You're still scolded!" Guo Yedao: "Okay, I won't fight with you, don't you think poetry and poetry are important?" Xu Hui is good at this. Why don't you just marry her? I'm not going to fight with you! ”

"Hmph, the mouth is not good." Xiao Zhuangzi suddenly seemed to understand something, and he no longer looked embarrassed, and said: "You obviously want to marry Xu Hui to death, but you pretend to be disdainful." Fool whom? There is a kind of thing that until the end, you don't provoke people. ”

Guo Ye grabbed Wu Meiniang and said, "With Meiniang by her side, what is Xu Hui?" You overestimate Xu Hui's charm. Hehe, I really can't look down on that Xu Hui! ”

Xiao Zhuangzi sneered: "I hope that when you see Xu Hui's true face, you can really say that." King Qin Chitose, let me remind you, it's still too late to retract that sentence now. ”

"Joke, why should I take it back?"

"You'll regret it. We'll see! Without speculating for more than half a sentence, Xiao Zhuangzi stood up, didn't care about Li Zhi, turned around and left!

Guo Ye shook his head and said, "I don't know which family's prince and grandson, this kid is too rude!" ”

Li Zhi was so anxious that he stomped his foot and said, "Teacher, why don't you chase it quickly?" It's time to apologize in a hurry! ”

"Apologize? I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I apologize to her? ”

Li Zhi sighed and said, "Teacher, do you know who she is?" ”

"Who is it?"

Wu Meiniang chuckled lightly and said, "This person is Xu Hui." ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Exactly." Xu Hui's father wanted to have served in the palace at the beginning, and I knew her when I was a child, and we were good friends when we were young. So she has never been big or small in front of me. ”

Guo Ye was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, he was preconceived, first thought of Li curing the manhood, and after Li Zhi denied it, he directly thought that this was a young man.

If you think about it carefully, judging from her appearance, manners, and speech, this is clearly a female!

He scratched his head and said, "It's really inappropriate for me to say something demeaning to her in front of Xu Hui. However, this is also the first time she concealed her identity. Both sides are at fault, so why should I apologize first? ”

Li Zhi said: "Hey! Teacher, you are so confused, this kind of thing, it is right to be able to hold a beauty. It would be a mistake to take the beauty away. ”

Guo Ye was slightly stunned and said, "What are you talking about?" I? Hold it back? ”

"When that happens, don't pretend!" Li Zhi said: "Xu Hui told me that you have admired her for a long time, and you have to marry her home!" ”

"Rumors, pure rumors!"

"How can it be a rumor? People have evidence. A few days ago, did you send Qin Ying to send a letter to her family? “

"That's right. But the purpose of my letter is to ask for a few invitations. ”

"Come on! You are clearly asking for an invitation, but secretly you are asking for a kiss, who can hide this kind of trick? The reason why Xu Hui pretended to be a little eunuch today is to meet you and see how you are, whether it is worth entrusting you for life! ”

Wu Meiniang smiled narrowly and said, "So, isn't it a blind date between husband and Xu Hui today?" ”

"Who's to say it isn't? I originally thought that the teacher would come out of the horse, and he must have caught it with his hands and completely captured the heart of the beautiful woman. Unexpectedly, he actually ran away from people! ”

Wu Meiniang said: "Hey, speaking of which, I am also responsible for this matter today." Concubinage is really a capital crime. I actually missed my husband's good deeds! Mei Niang knows that she is wrong, husband, can you spare me this time? ”

Although she said it pitifully, the banter in her eyes was clear at a glance!

Guo Ye said angrily: "What kind of mess? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know what's going on, don't you know? It was all Chai Lingwen and Liang Shuyu's idea to write that letter, but I was forced to do so. ”

Then, he briefly told Li Zhi what had happened.

Unexpectedly, after Li Zhi heard it, he didn't believe it at all, and said: "Come on, Xu Hui has confirmed this matter, but not only this letter, but also the testimony of your guard Qin Ying." He personally told Old Man Xu that you intend to marry Xu Hui! ”

When Wu Meiniang heard this, she couldn't help but pick her phoenix eyes and said, "Husband, is there such a thing?" ”
