Chapter 83: Attending a banquet, Tianming Academy students, Xu Qingxiaos dispute [for
More updates from the purest alliance leader]
One year in Wuchang.
April twenty-fifth.
The first government examination of the new dynasty was announced.
Xu Qingxiao is ranked first. There is no controversy. He has written peerless articles. If he does not get the first place, it will cause huge controversy.
And at this moment.
Li Fuzhong.
Xu Qingxiao looked at the list sent by Li Xin and remained silent.
"Brother Xu, you are the top one in the Wei Dynasty in this imperial examination. Wang Ru, myself, and Brother Chen all passed. A total of thirty-five people from Nanyu Mansion passed the imperial examination this time, breaking the previous record. Now
It is said that it is the influence of Brother Xu’s literary spirit.”
Li Xin was a little happy.
It was a good thing that he passed the government examination for the first time.
In addition, in the past, it was considered good for Nanyu Mansion to pass ten people in the imperial examination. This time, thirty-five people passed the exam. The whole Nanyu Mansion was spreading the rumor that Xu Qingxiao was Wen Quxing who came to earth, which affected the literary spirit of all the literati.
Looking at the long list, Xu Qingxiao didn't feel any joy at all.
In the past four days, he had written to Wan Anguo every day, and the contents of the envelopes also contained an apology.
Yang Bao, Yang Hu and others, Xu Qingxiao was unwilling to give up for no other reason than his conduct as a person.
Xu Qingxiao considers herself not a virgin bitch. There are too many injustices and grievances in the world. If she sees Xu Qingxiao and sighs with emotion, but asks him to help, Xu Qingxiao will basically not help.
But if the people who suffer are his relatives and friends, or if he suffers because of himself, Xu Qingxiao will never remain indifferent.
In the past four days, although Xu Qingxiao was thinking about solutions, she was also reading books from sages.
He read hundreds of books about Zhu Sheng, including his ideas, famous quotes, aphorisms, and stories. Xu Qingxiao read all kinds of books.
In the past four days, Xu Qingxiao has been thinking clearly.
He tried hard to find out if there was anything in Zhu Sheng's meaning that resonated with him.
Unfortunately, although the Holy Will is good, it is not my own will.
Preserve heaven's principles and destroy human desires.
Zhu Sheng set a framework for the people of the world, a framework for morality, a framework for literati, and a framework for everything in the world.
However, what Xu Qingxiao dislikes the most is the frame.
There are so many constraints in life.
So this path is not suitable for you.
Make your own gentleman's decision.
It definitely has nothing to do with Zhu Sheng.
"No way, do you really want to go to this point?"
Xu Qingxiao withdrew his gaze, looked up at the sky, looked at the bright stars, and fell into silence for a moment.
A gentleman makes up his mind.
It is the most critical thing in the seventh grade of Confucianism and Taoism.
If you cannot follow your original intention and make an intention, then even if you make an intention, you will not be able to step into the seventh level.
Because you didn't follow your heart.
Originally, Xu Qingxiao didn't want to make a decision so quickly. She wanted to understand it first and delay it for a while.
But because of this incident, Xu Qingxiao read the saint's intention in advance.
Once you read it, it doesn't mean you can make your own opinions clear.
But you can know whether you are suitable or not.
The answer is obvious.
Not suitable.
Since it is not suitable, we cannot follow Zhu Sage's will. If we don't follow Zhu Sage's will, there are two roads now.
Either look for the opinions of other saints, or make up your own mind.
The intentions of other saints are all for the common people and the world, which is not suitable for themselves.
After all, Xu Qingxiao actually understood her intention.
【Unity of knowledge and action】
However, it has nothing to do with this intention being secretly made by oneself. When one truly becomes a powerful official and a great Confucian, it is inevitable that he will spread it out.
But what happened now put Xu Qingxiao into a dilemma.
Regardless of their intentions, Yang Bao, Yang Hu and others will be sent thousands of miles away to work hard for life.
If you express your intention, the world will be your enemy, and you will almost never have a place in the literary world.
This scheming is really ruthless. As expected of a great scholar, such a small thing can push him to this point.
It seems that I am still a little younger.
Xu Qingxiao sighed. This incident made him have a better memory and understand a truth better.
There is no fool in this world, especially people with fame and status. If they can reach that level, if they have no brains, then it is just a show.
"Brother Li, when will the banquet start?"
Xu Qingxiao regained his composure and asked Li Xin.
"Back to Brother Li, it will open in an hour, so it's just the right time to go."
Li Xin replied.
"Well, let's go then."
Xu Qingxiao nodded.
The only chance to meet Wan Anguo and Yan Lei right now is at this banquet.
To fight or not to fight.
You have to go to the banquet yourself.
The Nanyufu Lou Banquet is held for lunch and dinner.
The process is also very simple. Get together at noon, and then talk about some national affairs together, each showing their shame and praising each other.
The dinner party is about having fun with the people. Everyone gathers together and still praises each other. They give the banquet whatever name it wants and it ends when it is done.
But today, it's a little different.
What happened in Nanyu Mansion has already spread throughout Changping County. People all know that this incident was a misunderstanding, and Xu Qingxiao was implicated.
Some people think that Xu Qingxiao does not need help, after all, it will affect his career.
Some people also think that the starting point of this matter is for Xu Qingxiao anyway, so Xu Qingxiao should help.
Two different opinions have created differences, and naturally the topic is extremely hot.
Xu Qingxiao walked out of the Li Mansion, and Wang Ru and Chen Xinghe happened to be outside the manor.
"I've met senior brother."
Seeing Chen Xinghe again, Xu Qingxiao was still respectful and did not go beyond anything.
"Junior brother, you are polite."
Chen Xinghe seemed to have adjusted his condition. He nodded as usual.
Then he walked side by side with Xu Qingxiao.
The four of them walked towards the banquet in Nanyu Mansion, and Chen Xinghe's voice slowly sounded.
"Junior brother, senior brother already knows what happened these days."
"The cause of this matter is not your fault. It is a misunderstanding. But although it is a misunderstanding, the law is ruthless and the saint's will must be followed."
"If you listen to my senior brother, let's just get drunk at today's banquet in the building. Senior brother and the students of Tianming Academy know each other."
"I'll say something nice to you. It's better to let go of enemies than to make them end. You're number one in the imperial examination now, and you have a bright future ahead of you. Don't let this affect you."
Chen Xinghe's voice was very calm.
He looked forward and seemed to have no intention of dissuading him, but the meaning of his words was that he hoped that Xu Qingxiao would not let some ordinary people affect his career.
"Senior brother teaches, and junior brother understands."
Xu Qingxiao replied calmly, he knew that his senior brother was doing it for his own good.
"Well, I won't say much else, senior brother. You and I haven't seen each other for a while. Let's have a drink together later to celebrate the results of the government examination."
"By the way, have you prepared any poems for the banquet in the building this time?"
Chen Xinghe did not continue to talk about this topic, but asked Xu Qingxiao if he had prepared any poems for the banquet.
"No."
Xu Qingxiao shook his head, he had no intention of preparing for this.
"oh."
Hearing this answer, Chen Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief.
He had already been invited to the Nanyu Mansion banquet, and now he was preparing a poem to show off his shame at the banquet.
However, based on the previous lessons, if Xu Qingxiao was prepared, he would not show off his shame.
But if Xu Qingxiao was not prepared, he would show his shame.
Four people walking.
The streets, for some reason, were a little deserted than usual.
Although there are still eyes to see, there is something strange in these eyes.
The people whispered in low voices, curious about their identity.
However, at this moment, a figure came to Xu Qingxiao. It was a woman. She was holding a young child, kneeling on the ground, and crying loudly.
"I beg Mr. Xu to save my husband."
"My husband-in-law, just a few days ago, I just took a look at him from a distance, but he was caught by the officials and thrown into prison. He was said to be sent thousands of miles away."
"Mr. Xu, my husband-in-law is diligent and honest. He will never break the law or violate discipline. I hope Mr. Xu can help me. If my husband-in-law is sent thousands of miles away, how can we, an orphan and a widow, survive?"
The sound of wailing resounded.
It looks a bit awkward in the street.
The woman knelt in front of her, and the two children cried in confusion. Maybe they saw their mother crying, or maybe they cried loudly because they hadn't seen their father for several days.
At this moment, Xu Qingxiao was a little stunned.
He didn't know what to say.
I don't know how to answer either.
"Madam, the government is conducting a thorough investigation on this matter. What is your husband's name? I am the son of the governor. After the banquet in the building, I will go to the prison to conduct a thorough investigation. If your husband is really just watching from a distance, he will definitely not
Something happened."
Li Xin reacted immediately.
He picked up the woman and tried to explain.
In broad daylight, with so many people watching, it really had a bad impact.
Li Xin gave Wang Ru a look.
The latter immediately pulled Xu Qingxiao forward and continued walking, while Chen Xinghe just sighed slightly.
Now this matter is getting more and more intense.
What is behind this, some people know, but most people don't.
On the street, the eyes of the people became complicated again.
Xu Qingxiao was silent.
He said nothing.
My thoughts were also in a mess.
This matter really has nothing to do with me.
But in the final analysis, this happened because of myself.
And because of the intention, it will trigger the follow-up. Otherwise, it will only be ten years in prison until death.
Three people walked.
After about a stick of incense.
Li Xin came over, but without saying anything, he had already arranged for the woman just now to be settled.
He wanted to comfort Xu Qingxiao with a few words, basically saying that Xu Qingxiao had nothing to do with him.
But before he could say anything, Wang Ru gave him a look, and Li Xin was silent for a moment.
All four of them were somewhat silent.
Finally, the four of them arrived at Nanyu Pavilion.
The entire new building is more than twenty feet long, and the entire pavilion covers an area of fifty acres. Apart from the main building, there are many other buildings.
And the entrance of Nanyu Pavilion.
It was already overcrowded.
"For this banquet in the building, a total of 800 people are invited, 300 of them are inside the building, and the remaining 500 people are having the banquet outside the building."
"When it's time for the dinner, the square inside is open to the public and can accommodate tens of thousands of people to watch the fireworks."
Arriving at the pavilion, Li Xin explained to the three of them.
At the same time, many eyes fell on Xu Qingxiao and the other four.
"Look, that's Xu Qingxiao, Xu Dacai."
"Is this Xu Qingxiao? He is truly a talented person."
"Is this the one who wrote the masterpiece?"
"You look so talented."
Many people noticed Xu Qingxiao, which instantly attracted whispers. Some people even came directly to her, wanting to establish a relationship.
However, suddenly, there was another burst of noise.
By some coincidence, people from Tianming Academy also came.
