Junhun'er was almost scared to death. Although His Majesty Li Er is open-minded and does not engage in literary inquisition, as the saying goes, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger! The emperor's heart is unpredictable. Who knows when His Majesty Li Er will be upset.
Okay, just thinking of this poem, do you have to punish yourself for the crime of disrespect?
Yan Shigu was unmoved and said casually: "You kid is as timid as a mouse! Hey, this poem is really good. It seems simple and straightforward, but in fact it is like old wine. The more you taste it, the more flavorful it becomes.
The fragrance lingers on the cheeks, the rhyme is long, what a poem, what a poem...Hey, I wonder if this is an old work by you, Erlang, or did you pick it up out of emotion?"
Everyone present looked at Fang Jun.
Poetry has become a trend in the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is the Confucian masters in the temple who are highly virtuous and highly educated, or the intellectuals in the world who are quick in thinking, eager to learn, and tireless in learning, they all regard poetry as a beauty. Occasionally, I composed a poem.
Good poetry can make a person who is originally unknown and penniless rise to fame. Confucian scholars and high-ranking officials readily recommend it, making it possible for him to leap over the dragon's gate and rise to great heights!
Recommendation was also the most important official method before the rise of the imperial examination...
Fang Jun's literary talent has long been spread all over the world, and no one doubts it. However, although this guy is talented, he is a bit unconventional. He does not write many poems, but there are many other poems, but only a few poems, such as "Selling"
Tan Weng" has been highly recognized by scholars.
Although the words of this poem are simple, it has broad connotation and profound meaning. If Fang Jun carefully crafted it and deleted it many times, it can only show that he is indeed talented in poetry, but if it can be said with a masterful hand, it would be extraordinary.
!
Fang Jun rolled his eyes and said quickly: "What's so good? I didn't do this at all. A few days ago, I met a wandering Taoist priest by chance. After drinking, he muttered such a poem.
, I just remember, it has nothing to do with me, really..."
Yu Wenshiji had a look of contempt on his face: "That comment just now is correct. You are really as timid as a mouse. You don't even dare to recognize the poems you wrote. You are a worthless thing!"
Fang Jun's face turned red as blood...
Kong Yingda smiled and said: "It is true that a person should be steady, but a young man must also be energetic, otherwise what is the difference between him and us old men who are about to die? This country of the Tang Dynasty is ultimately for you and other young men to manage and protect.
To open up, if you are afraid of wolves in front and tigers in back, do you think your majesty can entrust you with important tasks and trust you? You, please relax, even if there are some minor inadequacies in this poem, your majesty will not
You will be blamed. Besides, His Highness the Crown Prince has testified for you. It’s just a temporary complaint, so don’t worry.”
Li Chengqian was a little embarrassed. He forced a smile and said, "Master Kong is right. If my father asks about it, I will defend Erlang. There is no need to worry."
What he was thinking was that the few people here were all highly respected sages and sages who had already transcended ordinary factions and interests. They would never sell themselves out. As for Fang Jun, he was deeply grateful.
If he corrects something he said carelessly, he must be held responsible.
Yan Shigu then smiled and said, "Is this still the work of that wandering Taoist priest?"
Fang Jun was also a little embarrassed. He seemed to have made some mistake and became dependent on him. Whenever he encountered a problem, he would throw out the old Taoist priest who took the blame...
Kong Yingda also walked over with his hands behind his back, admiring Yan Shigu's copying of this poem, and praised: "The poem is good, and the calligraphy is even better. The poetry with profound philosophical meaning and the mellow and freehand calligraphy are compatible with each other. They are a perfect match, wonderful."
Oh!"
Several people gave up the game of cards and stood together to comment on poems and texts, which was quite harmonious.
At this time, someone outside the duty room reported: "There is a messenger in the palace summoning you. Your Majesty ordered the Marquis of Xinxiang to enter the palace immediately to see you."
Fang Jun was startled and said sarcastically: "What's wrong, I'm afraid we were impeached by the censors for gathering together to play cards in the duty room of the Ministry of Rites. Otherwise, why would your Majesty summon us to meet you? My ancestors, this matter is
You can explain something to me, just say that you were the one who pulled me..."
Yan Shigu rolled his eyes and scolded: "You are so shameless, kid. Didn't you come up with this mahjong to confuse us old bones and distract us from serious business all day long?"
Fang Jun said angrily: "You are too shameless, aren't you? Even if I created this mahjong, I was just competing with Master Kong and Xu Guogong. You came to the door with shame and couldn't drive away.
OK?"
"You bastard! How dare you talk to me like that? Do you believe that with just a memorial, I can impeach you, dismiss you from office, and send you to jail?" Yan Shigu was furious. This is the first time he has done this in his long life.
Can you not be angry when being accused like this by a young boy? The key is that this boy doesn't give him any face. He really came to the door by himself...
Fang Jun frowned and retorted: "I really don't believe it, why don't you try it?"
Yan Shigu glared and cursed: "Just give it a try and let you see how powerful I am!"
The two refused to give in to each other and had a quarrel.
Li Chengqian was a little dumbfounded. He looked at Fang Jun, whose neck muscles were bulging out, and was so impressed that he was in admiration. That was Yan Shigu, a great Confucian of the time, the leading figure in the Book of Han, with a reputation all over the world, and you are so right
scold?
Yu Wenshiji was so quarreled by the two that his brain ached. He patted the table to calm them down, pointed at Fang Jun and said: "Your Majesty has summoned you. If you still have the time to quarrel with an old man here, he will be buried in the dust."
If it reaches his neck, even if he dies, it won't be a loss. How can you compare with him?"
Fang Jun slapped his forehead and said angrily to Yan Shigu: "I was almost killed by an old man like you. I won't argue with you until I come back!"
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Yan Shigu was so angry that smoke was rising from his head, and he said angrily: "Look, where can you find such a bastard who doesn't respect his elders? It makes me so angry!"
Yu Wenshiji complained: "You are such a bastard, who wouldn't worry about you? Don't forget, although this kid is smiling like a little white rabbit these days, his timid temper has made the whole of Chang'an worse.
Famous, even if you are the King of Heaven, I can't be angry with you! It's hard to get four people to play cards, but now you offend one of them, what will happen in the future? It feels like three people are missing one every day, tsk tsk tsk..."
Having said this, the Duke of Xu had a sad look on his face and sighed sadly.
Yan Shigu also came back to his senses, tsked his tongue, and said in his heart that His Majesty had summoned him, so this boy didn't dare to delay, otherwise who knows if this bastard would get angry and beat himself up? That's fine, it's the most serious thing.
Just as Yu Wenshiji said, after offending this boy, from now on, there will be one out of three. Where can I find someone who is sincere in playing cards but doesn't hide any other flattery thoughts?
This is really a mistake!
If I had thought of this step earlier, I would just give in, why bother...
Kong Yingda turned his attention to Li Chengqian and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, this mahjong... do you understand the rules?"
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "It's almost the same, it's not too difficult..."
Yu Wenshi was overjoyed and pulled Li Chengqian's sleeves to the table: "Now there is a shortage of three, your highness will take the first one!"
Yan Shigu slapped his thigh: "Okay! With His Highness the Crown Prince taking over, what else do you need from the second room? This bastard dares to be disrespectful to me. Let's see how I can read him in front of His Majesty and let him know how powerful I am!" "
For the sake of missing one of the three, the old man could endure anything; but now that there is no shortage of people, the old man's temper suddenly flared up again...
*****
"What did you say?"
In the Tai Chi Palace, Fang Jun stared at His Majesty Li Er standing in front of him in stunned silence, almost thinking that he had tinnitus.
His Majesty Li Er was quite displeased. Which minister dared to question him like this.
His Majesty the Emperor is talking to you, how dare you fail to hear clearly? If you don't hear clearly, that's fine, how dare you ask what the Emperor is talking about?
His Majesty Li Er held back his anger and thought in his heart that this boy had indeed suffered a loss. He felt a little sorry for himself, so he gritted his teeth and said: "I just said that after the spring, I will re-open the imperial examination. From now on, I will always be Set the rules!"
Fang Jun was still a little stunned: "That... is not this sentence, but the next sentence..."
His Majesty Li Er finally got angry, kicked Fang Jun in the butt, and shouted: "I'll let you plan this Spring Festival, and then serve as the examiner!"
Let me serve as the examiner of the imperial examination?
Mother!
If you don't push me into a pit of fire, it will be over, right?
