Chapter Ninety-One: Accepting Disciples
There was a dead silence inside and outside the noon gate, and hundreds of officials seemed to have lost their voices collectively, and this ironic poem echoed in their ears.
Only those who read can truly understand how sharp the irony in this poem is.
Scholars are not afraid of being scolded, nor are they afraid of quarrels, and some even regard quarrels as arguments and are complacent. Those with low status like to quarrel with high status.
has been famous for a long time, likes to quarrel with the same level, and even likes to quarrel with the emperor. Once the emperor is angry, they will also point to the emperor and say: He is anxious, he is in a hurry.........
Giving is the best in this.
However, readers, especially those in high positions, are afraid of being scolded by three things.
First, the history books.
Second, the article.
Three, poetry.
Because these three involve what the reader cares about most: reputation.
Reputation before and after.
Er Cao's body and name are destroyed, and the rivers and rivers are not wasted......... This is a heart-wrenching statement, and no reader can endure the ridicule of this poem, which is too malicious.
Hundreds of Beijing officials, at this moment, actually had a feeling of blood rushing to their faces, and they really felt a huge insult.
Not only the poems themselves, but also because, but also because it was a vulgar martial artist who humiliated their group of scholars.
It wasn't until the tall figure with a short cloak had gone farther and farther that an official said in a trembling voice:
"Maniac, erector, rude........ How dare you insult us like this? Ladies and gentlemen, whether it is tolerable or unbearable, quickly send troops to kill this dog thief. ”
It was Yuan Xiong who spoke in the left capital, all the plans failed, his mood fell into a trough, and the whole person was like a powder keg.
Yuan Xiong felt that Xu Qi'an's poem was mocking himself and nailing himself to the pillar of shame.
The second to go berserk was Qin Yuandao, the squire of the military department, who rushed forward a few steps in a rage and shouted:
"Guard, where is the guard, stop that dog thief for me, humiliate the court princes, it's disrespectful. Stop him for the officer!!"
It's a pity that the Ouchi guards only obey the orders of Emperor Yuanjing, and even the princess and prince have no right to transfer.
Sun Shangshu's mood was quite complicated, anger was inevitable, but for some reason, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Xu Qi'an did not name him.
He nailed everyone to the pillar of shame and shared it evenly, and the shame received by everyone was not so sharp.
Sun Shangshu felt that his mentality was a little problematic, but he couldn't summarize it, Sun Shangshu, who was full of poetry and books, had not read the books written by Lu Shuren.
"Gong Wei has really cultivated a capable subordinate. ”
The corners of Wang Shoufu's mouth twitched, and the yin and yang strange aura was aura.
Even Wang Shoufu, who is unfathomable in the city, was angry, and the lethality of this poem can be seen.
The officials looked at Wei Yuan angrily and questioned him with their eyes.
Wei Yuan seemed to have just come back to his senses, and asked calmly: "What are you doing, are you all seated?"
........ The officials' expressions froze, and they felt that they were given a counterattack by Wei Yuan's fluttering words.
"Then, how should today's incident be written in the history books?" said a young attendant of the Hanlin Academy, in a deep voice.
As soon as the words fell, I saw an official turn his head and look at him faintly, as if to say: You are stupid to read your brain?
The attendant of the Hanlin Academy shrank his head and said, "Such a trivial matter is not enough to go down in history. ”
Wei Yuan said lightly: "The court meeting is over, it is not appropriate for the princes to gather at the noon gate, so disperse as soon as possible." ”
After saying that, he left first, and after walking out for a while, Wei Yuan could no longer hide the smile on the corner of his mouth, and let out a gloating "hey".
Leaving the palace gate and entering the carriage, Wei Yuan, who was in a good mood, told Nangong Qianrou, who was driving, what happened at the noon gate.
The righteous son, who had a feminine temperament, "heh" for a moment, and said, "Father-in-law, weren't you also among the princes at that time." ”
The smile on Wei Yuan's face faded little by little.
Outside the noon gate, Huaiqing and Lin'an still stayed in place, looking at the figures of the civil and military officials who had dispersed.
Er Cao's body and name are destroyed, and the rivers and rivers are not wasted........ Huaiqing muttered to herself in her heart, her pupils reflected the back of the prince, but in her heart there was only the tall figure who was wearing a guard uniform and carrying a knife.
Xu Ningyan is different from ordinary martial artists, he knows how to attack people seven inches, how to retaliate against the enemy with the sharpest attack, but does not endanger himself.
Punish the heart with poetry and hit the literati seven inches, this is Xu Ningyan's unique ability.
"The dog minion is so majestic........." framed muttered.
There is only one scene in her eyes: a fluttering poem by the dog slave made the civil and military officials jump like thunder, but they were helpless.
In the framed heart, this is something that the father and the emperor can't do. Although the father can oppress people, he can't be so light as a dog minion.
Her charming peach blossom eyes were shining, and she was a little proud to straighten her chest, barely standing out of Huaiqing's daily scale.
............
In the dormitory, after the end of the early dynasty, Emperor Yuan Jing, who was holding the Taoist scripture in his hand, listened to the old eunuch's proclamation in silence and knew everything that happened at the noon gate.
"What a guts. ”
Emperor Yuan Jing smiled, unable to tell whether it was praise or ridicule.
However, the old eunuch can confirm one thing, that is, Emperor Yuan Jing learned about this and learned that Xu Qi'an's arrogant behavior had no intention of condemning.
He could vaguely guess Emperor Yuan Jing's thoughts, what Xu Qi'an was doing, moving himself closer to the direction of the lonely minister, and following Wei Yuan's old path.
And the lonely minister is often the most reassuring to the emperor.
A capable, gifted and talented young man, compared to him being left and right and forming parties everywhere, of course, being a lonely minister is more in line with His Majesty's wishes.
"Er Cao's body and name are destroyed, and the rivers and rivers will not be wasted!"
Emperor Yuan Jing laughed, with a playful expression: "Good poetry, good poetry, our great poet is well deserved." My companion, I passed on my oracle and ordered the Hanlin Academy to go down in history, and I wanted to see it myself. ”
This is His Majesty's revenge on the nerds of the Hanlin Academy......... The two poems of the Xu brothers made His Majesty happy. The old eunuch was ordered to retreat.
Er Cao's body and name are destroyed, and the rivers and rivers will not be wasted!
Emperor Yuan Jing recited this poem again, the pleasure on his face gradually receded, and the desire for immortality became more and more intense.
.............
At lunch, Chu Yuanzhen listened to his old friend talk about what happened in the court at the dinner table, and in the end, Xu Ningyan blocked hundreds of officials with one knife and ridiculed the ministers with poetry.
This is how to break the game......... It is a good idea to use Xungui to fight against Wenchen, but it is extremely difficult, how did Xu Ningyan and No. 3 do it......... No. 3 and Xu Ningyan are worthy of being brothers, and their poetry talents are amazing.
It's a pity that No. 3 is now fledgling and his grade is still low, and he is too far away from his cousin Xu Qi'ancha. Otherwise, there must be three among those who go to the grave that day.
Of course, the Confucian system has been weak for a long time, and it is understandable that the third grade is low.
Regarding the poem written by No. 3 above the court, Chu Yuanzhen praised it and said no more. The poem is a good poem, but unfortunately the last sentence is not to his heart.
On the contrary, it was Xu Ningyan's poem that mocked the ministers, and Chu Yuanzhen's blood boiled when he listened, and he drank three cups on the spot.
"I've long wanted to scold those who eat vegetarian meals like this, but unfortunately poetry is not my forte. Xu Ningyan is worthy of being a great poet, and he is three points into the wood. Chu Yuanzhen laughed.
Feeling happy, he had the urge to go to Xu Ningyan immediately, drink with him, and get drunk.
But considering that the other party had just solved his cousin's imperial examination fraud case, and there were still some trivial matters to deal with in the follow-up, he resisted his impulse.
...........
Wang fu.
Wang Simu, who paid close attention to the case, heard about the fierce dispute that happened in the court today, as well as the satirical poem at the noon gate, through the channels he operated.
"I knew that Xu Huiyuan was unparalleled in talent, how could he cheat in the imperial examination. Well, in this matter, his cousin Xu Ningyan is even more powerful, and by mediating it, he can make Cao Guogong and King Yu speak for Xu Huiyuan, and let the court nobles speak for them.
"It's an unusual connection. What surprised me the most was that Wei Yuan didn't make a move, and he stood by and watched from beginning to end. In this way, Xu Huiyuan will not be branded as a eunuch, which is a good thing with far-reaching impact on him. ”
Of course, it's also good for me........ Miss Wang smiled.
The maid Lan'er was beside her, pretending to listen very carefully, but in fact, her mind was full of confusion.
"Lan'er, you go to the Xu Mansion again and make an appointment with Xu Huiyuan for me....... No, it would not seem reserved enough, and it would seem like I was asking for credit. Miss Wang shook her head and dismissed the thought.
Xindao, at this time, silence can highlight my bearing and pattern, if I can't wait to invite credit, it will make the Xu family's mother look down on it.
Smart people don't need to make things too obvious, just tacitly.
............
Si Tianjian.
When Yang Qianhuan passed by the alchemy room on the seventh floor, he heard the juniors and disciples inside discussing what happened in the early dynasty, and he was originally disdainful of these court affairs and didn't bother to listen.
But when he heard the words "Xu Ningyan", Yang Qianhuan's pace slowed down, and instinctively told him that perhaps, it was another opportunity to increase his knowledge.
"Xu Gongzi's poem is simply very happy, I think, it can be called the first satirical poem in the ages. ”
"Look at what you said, it's too exaggerated, but it's really cool, especially in front of the civil and military officials, blocking the noon gate, so ........"
Poetry?
Yang Qianhuan approached silently and said in a deep voice, "What are you talking about?"
The white-clothed alchemists were startled, stared at the back of his head, and complained, "Senior Brother Yang, you are scared to death like this every time. ”
Yang Qianhuan ignored it and asked: "What did Xu Ningyan do again, a person blocked the civil and military officials at the noon gate? What is the first time that a poem has been ridiculed in the eons." ”
The white-clothed alchemist told Yang Qianhuan about today's events.
Yang Qianhuan was like being struck by lightning, a picture appeared in his mind, after the dispersal, the civil and military officials slowly walked out of the noon gate, at this time, he suddenly saw a white-clothed figure standing there with his back to all beings, blocking the path of the ministers.
The princes were furious, and scolded the white-clothed warlock for daring to stand in the way of us, knowing the height of the heavens and the earth.
The white-clothed warlock ignored the shouting and scolding of the sky, and suddenly, he chanted at length: "Ercao's body and name are destroyed, and the rivers and rivers will not be wasted." ”
The civil and military officials were stunned and shocked on the spot.
Thinking of this, Yang Qianhuan felt that his body was like an electric current swimming away, and he trembled uncontrollably, and goosebumps protruded from his neck and arms.
"Why, why can Xu Ningyan always do one thing after another, one enviable thing after another. Yunzhou alone blocked the 400 rebels and fought with Buddhism under the watchful eye of the public........ It's so unfair, it's so unfair.
"When is the next pilgrimage? I, I'm going to the noon gate too, I have to go. ”
...........
In the afternoon, the Workshop Division.
Xu Qi'an and Fuxiang sat opposite each other and drank tea, talked and laughed, and told Fuxiang about today's court, and attached the patriotic poem "made" by Xu New Year, as well as the half of his poem at the noon gate.
Fuxiang is a person who loves poetry, and his heart shakes when he listens, especially for Xu Qi'an's deeds of blocking hundreds of officials, full of worship, and his eyes are full of wonder, as if he is about to drip water.
"Please do one thing, spread the news of today's court. After that, Xu Qi'an put forward his own request.
The Department of Education is the fastest and most convenient transit point for disseminating information.
"Then, what kind of reward does Xu Lang plan to give to others?"
Fuxiang would not refuse back then, and his eyes were bright in the autumn water, looking directly at Xu Qi'an.
You can't hide it if you like someone, and Fuxiang is full of water for Xu Qi'an's thoughts.
Half an hour later, Xu Qi'an went to see Ming Yan, Xiaoya and several other familiar Oiran, and asked them to spread the news of what happened in the court today.
Then he rode the mare back home.
The imperial examination fraud case was a fatal blow to Xu Xinnian's reputation, especially after intentional dissemination, the capital Shilin and everyone knew that Xu Xinnian obtained the Huiyuan by cheating.
This impression will slowly precipitate in the subsequent time, and once the brand is formed, even if the court proves the innocence of Xu New Year in the future, it will be difficult to reverse the image for a while.
Moreover, the case of fraud in the imperial examination has not yet ended, and the palace examination will be held in five days, and Xu Qi'an has to guard against Sun Shangshu and others from making a desperate bet to make trouble on the eve of the palace examination.
For example, inciting the students of Guozijian to make trouble.
If public opinion can be reversed in a short period of time, then the students of Guozijian will become unknown, and it will be difficult to achieve great things.
When everyone knows that Xu Xinnian has been wronged, even if you pretend to turn a blind eye, you will not get the public's recognition and support.
The ancients, whether they were fighting or seeking affairs, paid great attention to being famous.
"The favor of King Yu is used up, and it is not a loss, fortunately, King Yu has no intention of competing for fame and fortune, otherwise he may not stand out for me......... On the side of Cao Guogong, the benefits I promised have not been given, and with the power of the Duke and the deputy general of the King of Zhenbei, I will be counterattacked if I go back on my word........."
"There is a high probability that the king of Zhenbei does not know about this, it is the plan of the deputy general and Cao Guogong, but I am just a little silver gong, even if the king of Zhenbei knows, he will not blame the deputy general. Moreover, the King Kong of Buddhism is undefeated, and even high-grade martial artists will be tempted. After all, it can strengthen defense, cultivate to a high and profound realm, and even usher in a breakthrough in combat power, he has no reason not to be tempted.
Therefore, the promised benefits still have to be given. But, I can write the Nine Yin True Sutra upside down........."
.............
After dusk, the Xu family's dining table was shrouded in a joyful atmosphere, and the aunt enthusiastically served Xu New Year's dishes and Xu Qi'an vegetables.
It was as if both were his own sons.
Although this attitude will not last long, when she is yelled at by her nephew in the future, the aunt will remember the old hatred of the year, and then the relationship will return to the original state.
But at this moment, my aunt's gratitude is as sincere as 24k pure gold.
Xu Lingyue likes this family atmosphere very much, and admires her eldest brother more and more, and her smart beautiful eyes have been hanging on Xu Qi'an.
"Well, I have something to say. ”
Lina swallowed the food and looked at Xu Qi'an and Second Uncle Xu with a rare seriousness.
"What's the matter?" Xu Qi'an asked while eating.
Second Uncle Xu picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and looked at the little black skin in southern Xinjiang with his spare eyes.
Lina had a serious face, looked at Xu Lingyin, and said, "I want to take Lingyin as an apprentice." ”
"Poof........" Xu Qi'an sprayed rice.
"Poof........" Second Uncle Xu sprayed wine.
The family was caught off guard.
Xu Xinnian wiped off the rice grains on his body with a disgusted face, stayed away from his eldest brother, and then looked at Lina: "Tell me your reason." ”
