Chapter 229: Is it slandering Cao Cao? Or Yuan Shao's funeral song
Chapter 229: Is this ancient article a slander against Cao Cao? Or is it Yuan Shao’s funeral song?
There is a villa, a waterside study...
In the past two days, countless scholars from all over the world have gathered at Youjian Villa. Today is what everyone has been looking forward to.
Today is the first day of junior high school, and as usual, it is the day when Yi Xiaotian holds a lecture in front of Shuixie Study Room and talks loudly.
At this moment, people were already crowding in front of Shuixie Study Room.
There are scholars from all over the country, some from clans near Kyoto, and more students studying in private schools...
It seemed that there were more people watching this time than in previous months.
However, this is not surprising. Nowadays, the topic of discussion in the whole world is nothing more than the dispute between Cao and Yuan in the Central Plains. Recently, the topic that Yi Xiaotian talked about is exactly the "Anti-Thieves" about the dispute between Cao and Yuan.
》.
You know, it's because of this "Essay against Thieves" written by Chen Lin.
Public opinion in the world was almost unanimously in favor of Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao became the target of public criticism for a while.
…
Not long after, Yi Xiaotian had already climbed onto the high platform of Shuixie Study Hall in the eyes of everyone...
It seems to be accompanied by the sound of the piano, the melodious sound of the piano.
The piano workshop is not far from the study. Diao Chan knew that today was a special day, so she started adjusting the strings early in the morning... It seemed that she planned to use the sound of the piano to help this gentleman who had never met him do some things before the opening of the lecture.
As a warm-up, she also enjoys it and never tires of it.
call…
Yi Xiaotian on the high platform breathed softly and faced the students, Confucian scholars, and scholars.
It seemed that there were definitely more than a thousand people watching today, and for a moment, he became the center of attention of these thousands of people.
"First...sir, everything is ready."
Cai Zhaoji reminded from the side...
Even she felt a little uneasy when standing on this high platform and being watched by so many people. She even thought that she would be frightened by the attention of so many people.
Yi Xiaotian nodded and glanced at a "big speaker" set up by the wine shop's staff.
This is something Yi Xiaotian tinkered with a few months ago.
In fact, it is just a simple loudspeaker with a wooden frame underneath. It has a very simple structure, but in this era, it can already be regarded as a great invention.
There is no way... Yi Xiaotian has to ensure that all the surrounding students, Confucian scholars, and scholars can hear his words.
"Hey hey hey...cough cough."
Yi Xiaotian tried the sound first...it was pretty good.
Immediately without any ink, he pointed out the topic directly——
"Everyone, you have traveled thousands of miles to come here. Some of you are sincerely asking for advice, and some are entrusted by your family to spy on the situation. Of course, there will also be some spies from the north who come to gather information. However, your purpose is the same, to listen to
I will tell you this "Essay on Combating Thieves" and describe the victory and defeat between Cao and Yuan."
…
call…
"What a loud voice? How can Brother Yi's voice carry so far?"
Cao Cao hurried over. He was at the end of the group of students, but in his ears, Brother Yi's words were extremely clear.
He was very surprised by this, so he sighed.
"Probably the artifact in front of me was created by Shopkeeper Yi, right?"
As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, an old and thick voice sounded one after another, and his words were pointed at the loudspeaker.
But this voice was familiar to Cao Cao.
Isn't this Jia Xu's voice? Why is Jia Xu here?
Cao Cao turned his head and saw Jia Xu...
"Wen He? Why are you here?" Cao Cao asked curiously.
"It is said that there is a villa where every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the Shuixie Study Room holds lectures. It is a grand gathering for literati. I was curious and came to listen."
Jia Xu replied with a smile while tying his beard. "What's more, what Shopkeeper Yi is talking about this time is the "Revelation Against Thieves" and the winning and losing techniques of Cao and Yuan! Since he dares to say it, I am an old man.
Dare to come and listen."
Huo...Cao Cao was slightly surprised.
I never thought that even Jia Xu would be attracted by Yi Xiaotian's opening of lectures.
"What do you think, Mr. Jia? What does Brother Yi think of this "An Exploration of Thieves"?" Cao Cao raised a topic that he was more concerned about.
Jia Xu waved his hand. "I can't say for sure...but thinking about it, with his relationship with Mr. Hao, he shouldn't slander Cao Cao, right?"
Cao Cao glanced at Jia Xu beside him, thoughtfully.
His words really made Cao Cao feel relieved. What Cao Cao was worried about now was that Brother Yi could not side with Yuan Shao in public opinion?
After all, the scholars, Confucian scholars, and children of wealthy families in the audience are spreading today's opinions, and they are a force that cannot be ignored!
…
At this time, Yi Xiaotian's opening lecture was still in progress.
It is undeniable that his first sentence was enough to focus everyone's attention.
It was true as he said, many of the onlookers were from various clans.
They were very sensitive to the situation in the Central Plains, and both Cao and Yuan had tried to win over them many times.
Of course, should we choose Cao Cao? Or should we choose Yuan Shao?
These clans were originally swayed, but a "Message to Cry Against Thieves" made them more inclined to support Yuan Shao. But it happened that there was a villa here that was going to hold a forum to analyze the "Call to Cry Against Thieves"... So... I simply sent someone to listen.
In addition, there are many details. They are also trying to find out how Cao Cao faced this fierce public opinion offensive from the north.
At this time, Yi Xiaotian opened his mouth.
Many people have already started whispering...
"Finally let's talk."
"Will Mr. Yi have a new analysis of "The Pursuit of Thieves"?"
"He is in Cao Cao's territory, so he will probably lean towards Cao Cao, right?"
"But speaking of it, his voice is quite loud."
Thousands of people, even if they were discussing in low voices, the voices gathered together were like a swarm of locusts, buzzing into one, very loud.
Yi Xiaotian on the high platform obviously heard their discussion.
He took out this bamboo slip from his arms. Yes, it was the bamboo slip used to appeal to thieves. Then, he grinned and smiled, and spoke one sentence after another.
"Everyone, have you really understood this "Essay on Crying out Thieves"? In my opinion, this "Essay on Crying out Thieves" is not a criticism of Cao Cao at all, but... it is to demote him and Yuan Shao himself to be worthless. It is Yuan Shao who started from scratch.
The 'funeral song' at the end"
Phew…funeral song!
As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.
All the onlookers looked at each other and couldn't help but look up at Yi Xiaotian, who was chatting and laughing happily on the high platform with a calm expression.
At the same time, the entire Shuixie study area became quiet. Only the faint, melodious sound of the piano echoed in the air for a long time accompanied by Yi Xiaotian's sonorous words.
And this solemn and quiet atmosphere also made Cao Cao and Jia Xu couldn't help but sweat for Yi Xiaotian on the high platform.
Phew...Brother Yi really dares to say that!
What's incredible is that he faces everyone's questioning eyes.
Yi Xiaotian was still smiling and chatting and laughing. "Aren't you surprised? Didn't Chen Lin's "Essay on Criticizing Thieves" scold Cao Cao bloody? Why, in my eyes, it became
Yuan Shao's 'Funeral Song'."
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian raised his hand. "Come on, let me lead you to read it carefully. Let's re-understand this eternal masterpiece..."
As soon as I finished speaking...
Yi Xiaotian took a breath.
Then, the content of the petition against thieves emerged word by word from his mouth.
——"There are extraordinary people, and then there are extraordinary things; there are extraordinary things, and then there are extraordinary achievements..."
When Yi Xiaotian talked about Chen Lin's evaluation of Cao Cao - that he was an eunuch and was ugly, Yi Xiaotian's expression paused, and he stopped reading aloud, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
