As soon as this young man in white appeared, many people recognized his identity.
In the third year of Hongde's reign, there was Du Shen, a famous talented scholar in the capital.
Although Du Shen was not yet a Jinshi, his poetry spread throughout Jiankang City, and he was regarded as the first poetic talent in the new dynasty.
The so-called New Dynasty refers to the Hongde Dynasty since Emperor Hongde came to the throne.
Du Shen took the provincial examination in the third year of Hongde, but he did not take part in the examination the following year. According to his own statement, if he had participated in the examination in the fourth year of Hongde, he would have been a second-class Jinshi at most, so he was ready to polish his skills.
In three years, I have to take the exam in Hongde in seven years to try my best.
Because of this arrogant statement, Du Shen's reputation in Jiankang City has increased a lot, and he almost has several masterpieces every year. He can be regarded as the most popular talent in Jiankang City in recent years.
At this moment, Du Caizi stood on the stage, looked around, took a deep breath, and began to recite poetry in a melodious tone.
"Qin Huai is speechless and talks about the setting sun."
“Every house faces the water and reflects the red makeup.”
After reciting these two lines of poetry, Du Shen looked around at the crowd again and continued to say: "The spring breeze does not know how beautiful the beauty is, but it still sings happily around the boat."
Du Caizi's state was somewhat fanatical.
He finished reading this poem, or rather this passage, in a very excited tone.
He stood on the stage of Xiaoxiang Tower, still looking up at Pei Yuan, Vice Minister Pei, and then at the dignitaries present, with a loud voice: "Originally, Du had a clumsy work, but after hearing this poem, Du's work became
It’s so unbearable, this poem has won my heart!”
He looked around, his voice heavy.
"A period of time has passed. No matter the princes in the court or the princes here, they only dare to chant the wind and the moon on the Qinhuai River, and they don't dare to look north at all!"
"Today's spring breeze on the Qinhuai River, unaware of the shame of crossing south during the Jiazi period, is still blowing on the painted boat. However, we Chen people are not ignorant of the spring breeze. The changes in the Jiazi period should be kept in mind!"
After saying that, Du Caizi spoke in a deep voice.
"Unless the rivers and mountains are restored, Du will never enter the Qinhuai River fireworks place again!"
After saying this, he was about to walk away.
On the main stage, Mr. Pei frowned and said nothing.
Another official from the Ministry of Rites stood up. He looked at Du Shen and shouted in a low voice: "Du Shen, the imperial court has its own ideas. How dare you discuss the imperial court at a grand meeting in the Yuan Dynasty without having an official status!"
"Do you want to disrupt government with poetry?"
This hat is very big.
But Du Shen was not afraid. He looked back at the official of the Ministry of Rites and held his head high: "Du said before that I did not write this poem, but it was exactly what I wanted, so he read it at the Shangyuan Poetry Conference.
Come out, I am from Jiankang and live in Jiankang City. If Mr. Qian feels that what I have done violates the national law, I will ask the Jiankang Prefecture to come to my house tomorrow to pick him up!"
After saying that, Du Caizi walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
After Du Shen left, the atmosphere at the Shangyuan Poetry Club became awkward.
The originally lively event became difficult to hold after Du Shen made such a fuss.
After all, among the people living in Jiankang City today, especially the nobles, seven or eight out of ten have ancestors who came from the south. Du Shen mentioned this matter to his face. If they can continue to "entertain"
, then it would be a slap in the face of the ancestors.
Ever since, after Du Shen left, people started to leave.
Qian Zhong, the Minister of Etiquette, first glanced at his superior, then bowed his head slightly to Minister Pei and said, "Sir, how do you think this matter will end today?"
Pei Yuan was sitting on the main seat, his face a little unsightly.
After being silent for a while, he snorted: "It's just a person with a direct invitation name. It is not uncommon in all dynasties. There is no one who has not won the imperial examination. On weekdays, he only writes and writes at home. How can he understand the government and the current situation?"
