Chapter 123: Slander

Xu Xian, who was supposed to be the first to complete the poem, was finally handed in at the end, which made everyone very curious, and secretly guessed what kind of classic he wrote this time.

On the banks of the Qinhuai River, it is prosperous like a brocade, and the singing and dancing are leveling.

In such a scene, it is enough to make people poetic, should they write another song comparable to "When is the Bright Moon" such a majestic atmosphere, but also tactful and delicate through the ages?

These people have exhausted their vocabulary and used the most gorgeous sentences in their seven-character quatrain poems, but they still do not have the confidence to compete with Xu Xian.

Everyone was looking forward to it.

Although the great Confucian Li Yuanhui is also looking forward to it, he is different from others.

In his heart, there was still an inexplicable nervousness. He wanted Xu Xian to make poems that were very classic and enough to be passed down through the ages. But if Xu Xian made a poem about praising the prosperity and beauty of the Qinhuai River, as other students expected, he would not say anything, but he would be disappointed in his heart.

He took these best students from the south of the Yangtze River to the north bank of the Qinhuai River today, and let them look at the scenery in front of them to compose poems, the real purpose is not to let them praise this peaceful and prosperous world!

Taking Xu Xian's test paper, Li Yuanhui looked down.

Just at the first glance, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he, who had always been moody, couldn't help but shout happily three times: "Good! good!"

is a good Xu Hanwen, and he really deserves to be a rare genius in a thousand years!

When everyone was intoxicated with this drunken gold and couldn't extricate themselves, he was able to look far ahead, and see the real crisis of the Dali Dynasty through the back of this prosperity. Such a talent is worthy of the Shengyuan's decision to hold this Jiangnan Talent Conference specifically for him!

Li Yuanhui's mood after seeing this poem, although it was not as shocking as yesterday's when he saw 'establishing a heart for heaven and earth and establishing a life for the people', but the joy was not bad at all.

Xu Xian really didn't disappoint him.

After being excited, Li Yuanhui didn't buy Guanzi for too long, and when everyone was waiting impatiently and wanted to know what Xu Xian had written, he read it out loud: "The smoke cage is cold and the moon is long and sandy, and the night tour is in Qinhuai Restaurant;

Well?

Everyone's first reaction was to be stunned.

Why is it different from what they expected, isn't it good to praise the prosperity and excitement and spectacular beauty of the Qinhuai River? How did it become a criticism?

And it's also a very rich and heart-wrenching criticism!

Of course, no matter what this poem is, it is undeniably an absolute classic, and it is also a famous poem.

The first two sentences of 'smoke cage, cold water, moon and sand, night tour of Qinhuai near the restaurant' are already wonderful verses. This sentence is not as pure as many students, such as a pile of ornate rhetoric, beautiful structure, written very lightly, very approachable, but it can create an incomparable imagination.

A simple word 'cage' is like the finishing touch, turning all the ordinary into extraordinary, perfectly integrating smoke, water, moon and sand into a wonderful scene like a splashed ink landscape painting.

These two sentences alone are enough to prove that Xu Xian is unmatched in terms of poetry.

It is only the last two lines, although they are the real focus of this poem, but they are beyond everyone's expectations.

The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the backyard flowers across the river.

The irony in this, not to mention them, even if it is a child in his seventies or eighties, I am afraid that he can see it.

Where is this praising the prosperity and peace of the Qinhuai River, it is clearly satirizing the drunken life and dream of the Qinhuai River, and using these obscene songs to satirize today's arrogance and absurdity!

All the participating students present are famous for their talents, and it is not a big problem to be admitted to the examination in the future, and it is possible that they may be promoted to the Jinshi. Therefore, their knowledge and vision are not much worse.

They can't make such classic poems, but to understand the meaning of the poems, it is simple.

So they quickly saw the deep meaning in Xu Xian's poem.

But they were still sighing at the prosperity in front of them, and when they praised it, what Xu Xian saw with his eyes and thought in his heart was the entire Dali Dynasty!

The Dali Dynasty has already been in turmoil, not the really prosperous and powerful country a hundred years ago, but now it is full of crises, internal and external difficulties, and the extravagant life of Qin Huai in these ten miles is indeed too drunk.

Xu Xian's vision and heart, even if the poems he wrote today, even if they are not as classic, still surpass others too much.

It's like the difference between an adult and a child!

"Xu Hanwen is a great talent, this kind of poetry should naturally be of the highest grade!" Li Yuanhui said without hesitation, and was about to put pen to paper.

At this time, someone suddenly stood up and said, "Wait! I don't think this is right!"

stood up, it was really one of the chief examiners of the Jiangnan Talent Literary Association this time, Jiang Haibo, the household waiter!

Li Yuanhui's cinnabar pen was put aside for a while, and he frowned and asked, "Why not?" Could it be that Jiang Shilang thinks that this poem is not worthy of being rated as a first-class poem, and Jiang Shilang can make a better poem than this?"

Jiang Shilang looked solemn, shook his head seriously and said: "Naturally, I can't do it, and I don't dare to do this kind of arguing about the government and ridiculing the poetry of today's court and the saints!"

These days, Jiang Shilang, who has a heavy responsibility, has always wanted to find Xu Xian's stubble, but he has never had a chance. Xu Xian did his best in all aspects, and there was nothing to attack. But I didn't expect that Xu Xian took the initiative to send it to the door today!

This "You Qinhuai" is indeed a rare masterpiece, but it leaves too many handles and too many points to attack.

"Talking about the government in vain, ridiculing the current court and the saints? Jiang Shilang, are you thinking too much? Xu Xian's first word is obviously looking at the scenery of the Qinhuai River, so he is worried about the country and the people, how can you talk about what you said!" Li Yuanhui's eyes narrowed slightly, he had already roughly guessed the purpose of this Jiang Shilang, and quickly thought of a way to deal with it in his mind.

Xu Xian, he must be protected, and it is absolutely impossible for Jiang Shilang to frame him.

Jiang Shilang sneered, and said sharply in his eyes: "I didn't think too much. The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers of the backyard across the river! Doesn't Xu Xian want to say that my dynasty is about to perish like the Southern Dynasty, and compare the current saint to the well-voiced Empress Chen? Such a bold and domineering person, what kind of first-class and high-quality can he talk about! I will immediately present this time to the imperial court, punish Xu Xian, and strip him of his talent and fame!"

Wow!

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

I didn't expect things to turn out like this.

The Dali Dynasty is not a torture dynasty, there is no literary prison, and scholars discuss the government in vain, slander the court officials or the current saints, although they will not be executed, but it is very common to be deprived of their fame.

Just like Li Pan, the first genius in Jiangnan at the beginning, the situation is so convenient that it is almost the same.

Could it be that Xu Xian will really become another Li Pan?
