Chapter Forty-Eight: Worthless

Two short poems, Wu Zetian has already read.

But when Shangguan Wan'er read it, she was slightly drunk, as if she had been suddenly hit by something, and her shoulders trembled.

The wine in the golden cup costs 10,000 yuan, and the dishes in the jade plate are precious and worth 10,000 yuan.

But the mood is upset, so people put down their cups and chopsticks and don't want to eat. He drew his sword and looked around, feeling dazed.

Just two lines of words resonated in Wu Zetian's heart, why wasn't she? Fine wine and food, glory and wealth, have long made her uninterested.

If you want to cross the Yellow River and ice congestion river, you will climb the snow-filled mountains of Taihang. What a great ideal this is, when Tang Taizong was there, she was just a five-grade talent, but she had read poetry and books since she was a child, and she was by no means an ordinary woman. They are not reconciled to the status quo, they want to change, and they must change, if a person can't do great things, then what's the difference with ants? Therefore, Wu Zetian, who was once a talented man, and Qin Shaoyou, who was a cook, both wanted to cross the Yellow River and see the ice clogging the river; If you want to climb the Taihang Mountain, you can feel the heavy snow all over the mountains.

In the past, Wu Zetian hoped to get the trust of Emperor Taizong, and she tried her best to behave, just like Qin Shaoyou now, but they were all disappointed, from beginning to end, when Emperor Taizong was there, Wu Zetian was still just a talented person, just an ordinary concubine. As for Qin Shaoyou, although Qin Shaoyou got an official position, he thought that he could be valued by King Wen like Jiang Taigong who was fishing by the stream; can also be like Yi Yin who dreams of a boat, and is favored by the king of Shangtang.

But......

It's hard to walk! It's hard to walk! Many divergent roads, where are you now? How difficult is the road of life, how difficult, and complicated, where is the real road?

They were all disappointed, as a talented person, Wu Zetian was like this, and now Qin Shaoyou is not like this.

It's just that behind this short poem, when Shangguan Wan'er recited the last sentence in a low voice, 'There will be a time when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds and sails will help the sea', Wu Zetian's body was shocked, and there were tears in his eyes.

No matter how difficult the road is, what does it matter? Now Qin Shaoyou believes that although there are many divergent paths under his feet, sooner or later he will set sail to cross the blue sea and blue sky, this is his belief, just like when Taizong died and Wu Zetian cut his hair and became a nun, even if Wu Zetian had many setbacks, he still waited secretly, in order to make a comeback.

Wu Zetian glanced at Qin Shaoyou deeply.

This poem evokes too many memories for her.

So much so that when the second poem was read out, Wu Zetian was finally moved. The path of life is so broad, but I have no way out. I don't want to follow the rich kids in Chang'an City to engage in gambling games like cockfighting and lackeys. It is not to my liking to play a sword, sing and complain like Feng Chen, and grovel at the door of the powerful. At that time, the people of Huaiyin City ridiculed Han Xin for his cowardice and incompetence, and the ministers of the Han Dynasty were jealous of Jia Yi's outstanding talent. You see, in ancient times, King Yan Zhao reused Guo Kui, supported the Broken Quarters, and was humble to the corporal, without suspicion or suspicion. Ju Xin and Le Yi are grateful for the kindness of their acquaintances, and they are loyal and wise, and they use their talents to serve the monarch. However, King Yan Zhao is long dead, and who else can use the Magi as much as he does?

This poem is more like Qin Shaoyou's confession of Wu Zetian's heart, Qin Shaoyou compares himself to Han Xin and Jia Yi, and regards those who ridicule and look down on him as Huaiyin City and the ministers of the Han Dynasty, he told Wu Zetian, I have the talents of Jia Yi and Han Xin, but where are my Liu Bang and Emperor Wen?

Wu Zetian's gaze had become deeper. These two poems not only resonated with her heart, let her see Qin Shaoyou, and think of herself who had been depressed in the past, but at the same time, she was very keenly aware that there was a deep political background behind these two poems.

Is Qin Shaoyou talented?

Of course there is.

If he has no talent, why did he become a teaching assistant and educate a group of students into talents in just a few months? If he is talentless, how can these two small poems with ups and downs and ups and downs alarm the four seats?

Even when the six learned doctors heard two short poems, it was like a sharp sword plunged into their hearts, and even though they were full of quibbles, only two short poems made all their rebellion disappear.

These two poems can be described as unprecedented, although the rhythm is lacking, but the words and intentions can be described as wonderful, enough to last through the ages!

This time, more than 60 students coincidentally wrote two short poems by Qin Shaoyou on the test papers, and there were dozens of people who handled the test papers, and they would soon circulate, and at that time, Luoyang would be shaken.

What does this mean?

Qin Shaoyou's talent is irrefutable, he compares himself to Le Yi, to Jia Yi, and to Han Xin, maybe before the two small poems appear, he will become the laughing stock of Luoyang people, but when the poems are born, these ridicules will turn into shock.

If Wu Zetian is indifferent at this time, it means that she is not King Wen of Zhou, nor King of Shangtang, she is not as good as Liu Bang, and she is far inferior to Emperor Wen of Han, because these Ming monarchs who have been praised so far have cherished talents and have been assisted by sages.

The Sage is right in front of you!

Wu Zetian had to make a decision before the two short poems were circulated, whether to choose to be the king of Shang who knew no one or the king of Shang Tang, who appointed sages; Is it to be the Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty who pampers the Ten Constant Servants, or the Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty who is discerning and discerning.

As for these six doctors......

They did have a great influence, they were scholars, they were clear streams, they were clear streams in clear streams, they were full of peach and plums, and they had a good reputation, which is why when they attacked Qin Shaoyou, Wu Ze was born with a jealous heart and did not move; Because although these people have humble official positions, their influence is too great, and they have aroused the tongue of the people of the world for the sake of a Qin Shaoyou, which is ...... Is it worth it?

It's just that now, the situation has reversed, there is only one reason, when they reprimanded Qin Shaoyou for not learning and not knowing, and as soon as the poem came out, they became a joke, they boasted of being talented and learned, and they were also highly respected by the world, but they were blind, and even Qin Shaoyou couldn't tell the difference between people like Qin Shaoyou, and there were only two reasons.

First, they don't even have the most basic vision, and a person without vision is also worthy of being a scholar? If you don't even have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, how will you distinguish between good and bad students in the future?

Second, that is, they framed Qin Shaoyou and were jealous of meritocracy, which involved the issue of virtue, as a scholar, no matter how good your knowledge is, if you lack virtue, this is almost a fatal flaw.

What Wu Zetian fears most is nothing more than their clear name, and once the name is no longer cleared, a few sesame officials from the sixth grade are worthless in her eyes.

And now, she is either standing on the side of the worthless sesame official, which has become the biggest joke in the world. Otherwise, she stood with Qin Shaoyou and achieved a good story of Mingjun and talent; There is no other way out.

So when she saw the two lines of the poem, she had already made her choice.

After Shangguan Wan'er finished reciting the poem, when the six doctors were all like earth and sat on the ground, Wu Zetian didn't even stay on them for a moment in the corner of his eye, because ...... They are worthless!

A trace of mist rose in her eyes that were a little moved to the bottom of her heart, and she looked at Qin Shaoyou, her lips pursed lightly, with a subtle smile.

She smiled beautifully, warm as spring, like a loving mother seeing the wanderer returning home, and her eyes were full of warmth at that moment.

"Do these two poems have a poem name?"

Wu Zetian spoke, just like ordinary family chatter, there was no coyness, everything was so natural.

Qin Shaoyou sighed in his heart, although he already had a plan to fight back, but these two poems were really an accident, how could he have thought that those students would actually play so big.

"It's your own style." Qin Shaoyou thought in his heart.

He took a step forward and replied, "Your Majesty, the two poems are called difficult to walk. ”

……………………

Well, the mood is calm, thank you for your concern. In fact, when the tiger looked in the mirror a few days ago and found that he had become more handsome, he knew that he could not have both fish and bear paws, and what he gained would lose something.

However, the average person who scolds the tiger is uglier, you know.
