Chapter 40: Poetry and Poetry
"I am a disciple of Confucianism. ”
"I am also a disciple of Confucianism. ”
"I am ......"
As soon as Ning Caichen's words fell, the response among the officials was endless, and the last count showed that among the more than 30 people present, only three were not Confucians. And among these three people, Dong Chuan, who is-for-tat with Ning Caichen, is not included.
"The acquired righteousness represents a scholar's justice, morality, knowledge, and conduct have reached a very high level, and a strong spirit has arisen in his heart. If Haoran is full of righteousness, he can drink the dead demons and kill the ghosts!" said an official after the statistics.
"What else?" Seeing that he didn't mention the key point, Ning Caichen prompted: "For example, if ordinary scholars see Haoran righteousness, what should they do?"
"You should stand solemnly, be dressed, bow down, and salute, as if you were meeting a teacher. Luo Yinghao interjected.
Ning Caichen was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "That's right, this is the etiquette that scholars need to follow in the face of Haoran righteousness. If you want to see me show my righteousness, are you ready to sit down, dress properly, bow down, and salute?"
After saying this, the whole house was shocked. The officials who had been noisy and wanted to see Haoran and righteous opened their mouths, but they were never able to say anything.
To make this kind of etiquette to a subordinate official and a junior, although everyone knows that it is Haoran righteousness, but in the final analysis, it is not Ning Caichen who worships?
"When you say that, are you weak-hearted? Or, that Haoran righteousness is simply fake!" Dong Chuan said sharply when he saw that the camp he had united collapsed instantly.
Ning Caichen frowned slightly, and was a little unhappy with his rudeness: "Your degree is higher than mine, and your official position is higher than mine? If you are not as good as me, just based on your rude words now, it is rude!"
"I am the heir of the Dong family!" Dong Chuan's expression froze, and he clenched his fists and said.
"I'm sorry, I really don't know what kind of family the Dong family is. Ning Caichen frowned coldly: "But I am now an imperial official, and I have the authority to picket localities, so I will seriously check it in the future to see if this family is suspected of hiding dirt." ”
Dong Chuan was furious when he heard this: "You threaten me?"
"It's not to threaten you, it's to be in your place. How many dirty things Jinhua did in the past, as long as I didn't meet them, I wouldn't be idle and bored to investigate, but in the future, if I find out about corruption and bribery, and corrupt and bending the law, I will definitely not stand idly by. Ning Caichen thought about the gift of the emperor's pen and said solemnly.
The pupils of the many officials present shrank, and they glanced at each other, taking into account the backstage behind Ning Caichen, and seeing that he did not pursue the previous matters and did not have the idea of confronting them, they all made up their minds not to do those dirty things before this upright Confucian left.
Qingyu glanced at Ning Caichen, who was upright and upright, and his eyes were full of brilliance. Turning his head to look at Dong Chuan, whose face was red and panting, he sighed slightly in his heart.
Whether it is in terms of knowledge or bearing, this Dong Chuan is a complete defeat, compared with Ning Caichen, it is like a cloud and mud.
In addition to such a golden flotsy, the straw bales in it still want to pursue themselves, which is really wishful thinking!
"In this situation, why don't Ning Gongzi compose a poem to express his ambition?" Qingyu coughed and said with a smile.
Ning Caichen pondered for a moment, raised his eyes and said: "I don't hesitate to buy a treasure knife, and I can exchange mink Qiu for wine." A warm blood is cherished, and sprinkling it can still turn the blue waves. ”
After singing a poem, everyone was shocked, and more than 30 officials looked at Ning Caichen with different expressions, and they felt each other's bloody, tragic and heroic emotions from this poem.
Qingyu's eyes were confused, and she recited this seven-word law over and over again, and murmured at the end: "I didn't hesitate to buy a sharp sword with a thousand taels of gold, showing my determination to fight to the end at the expense of bloodshed." The second sentence echoes the first sentence, no matter how valuable something is, once it is left with its ideals, it will not hesitate to give it up, which can be called a hero.
The last two sentences of the poem borrow the allusion of Chang Hong, a loyal minister of the Zhou Dynasty, to turn his blood into blue, and illustrate the blood that can be thrown away for the ideal at any time and spill blood...... With poetry Mingzhi, with poetry Mingzhi, Brother Ning is talented, and the little sister admires the five-body throw!"
"The whole poem is sonorous and powerful, every word is beautiful, every word is loud, full of a strong heart to fight against injustice, Ning Xian's nephew is heroic enough, enough for a husband!" Luo Yinghao praised loudly.
"A good one can still turn Bitao into a good scholar, a good scholar!" An official came to Ning Caichen with a wine glass, bowed down and saluted: "For your courage, I want to toast you with a glass." ”
"Let's drink together, let's come together to Mr. Jing Ning, Jing Bitao!" Inspired by the blood in the poem, some officials stood up and said loudly with wine glasses.
Ning Caichen poured a glass of wine, stood up and saluted everyone: "Heaven and earth have righteousness, clarify sin and evil, I hope that all adults will work with me to maintain this righteousness for a long time!"
"Righteousness lasts forever!" Except for the prefect, Qingyu, and Dong Chuan, the rest of the officials, whether they were sincere or false, all stood up and responded.
Among the three people seated, the prefect had a complicated expression, Qingyu's eyes were adoring, and Dong Chuan was gray-eyed, feeling helpless for the first time in his life.
He didn't understand, he was obviously forcing Ning Caichen to show his heroic righteousness and let the other party be at his mercy, how could it suddenly become the current situation?
"It's really right to elect you to the rank of official!" After the toast was over, the prefect said with a smile: "When you have nothing to do in the future, you can go to my mansion and exchange political affairs." ”
Everyone looked at the prefect in astonishment, and then came back to their senses in an instant, looking at Ning Caichen with envy. The eyes of a few officials were even full of scorching heat, which was the flame of jealousy burning.
"The prefect lifts up. In the flaming gaze, Ning Caichen was dressed in white, indifferent, and the prefect's solicitation of almost red fruit fruit was also unwavering.
In this kind of atmosphere where everyone ignored him, Dong Chuan felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he was uncomfortable all over his body. Especially when he saw Ning Caichen's mocking gaze, he felt even more humiliated, and he couldn't wait to draw his sword to face him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please drink slowly, there are still some things in the younger generation's family, so I will leave first. Glancing deeply, Qingyu, who has always been a true color to himself, Dong Chuan gritted his teeth and stood up, ignoring the reactions of others and leaving the table angrily.
"You still need to be trained, how can this kind of scheming inherit the Dong family's family business?" said an official softly after Dong Chuan left.
"He is already average, and some of the children of the family now are more inferior than him. Someone sighed.
Ning Caichen paused for a moment and asked with a smile: "Speaking of the family, I don't know if you here have heard of the Sima family?"
