Chapter 21 Articles govern the country, and the holy bells ring
Many students present watched this scene. When Yan Song criticized Du Ning, Du Ning's expression did not change.
When Du Ning spoke out to fight back, Yan Song became furious.
As a group of melon-eating people, it may be difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong for a while, but the two have a high level of dignity.
"Du Ning, you are so presumptuous that you dare to slander Wenyuan Lord like this. What crime do you deserve!"
"You're just a top-notch boy, who do you think you are!"
"If you don't respect the king of the court, you have no respect and inferiority. You are worse than a beast!"
Some scholars scolded Du Ning. They were all members of the Jieying Society and had their own objections to Du Ning.
So at this time, they naturally sided with Yan Song.
"I think Du Ning is right. This Yan Song is indeed hypocritical. At the end of last year, he still wrote an article in Nanping Wenbao, praising Du Ning's "Bamboo and Stone", but now he wants to cancel his
Such behavior is really shameful.”
"That's right! It's simply too much for the majestic Ichifuin Lord to bully a poor student like this!"
"Even Confucius advocated teaching without distinction, so what qualifications does Lord Yan have to exclude Du Ning? If Du Ning cannot pass the test, it can only be blamed on his lack of knowledge, but he will be kicked out if he fails to pass the test.
, it really makes no sense.”
"Well said! This liberal arts academy is a liberal arts academy for scholars all over the world. When will it be Yan Song's turn to have the final say? It's really shameless for a great scholar to be so narrow-minded!"
Many people also stood up to speak out for Du Ning, with anger on their faces, and they all couldn't stand Yan Song's behavior.
After Yan Song heard this, he was even more furious.
I didn't expect that in the eyes of a poor student, I would be criticized like this. This was simply going against his literary reputation.
But even so, Yan Song could not reprimand so many scholars, otherwise, he might offend the public.
"Forget it! For the sake of all the students speaking for you, you will stay and take the test. If you can pass, the Fuwen Academy will reluctantly admit you, but if you can't pass, don't blame me for being rude to you!
"Yan Song said.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yan Yuan, no matter what kind of questions you ask, I will do it seriously, but no matter whether I can pass the test or not, I will not enter this liberal arts academy!"
Du Ning's words showed his attitude.
Even if Du Ning passes the test, he will not enter Fuwen Academy.
What a heroic momentum!
What a heroic spirit!
Yan Song was almost amused by Du Ning, and sneered: "Do you think you can pass the test? Ridiculous! The test in the Fuwen Academy is not about poetry, but about articles. Your poems can make the state famous, but your articles
Can you also be Mingzhou? It’s not that I, Yan Song, look down on you, but you, Du Ning, are just a Confucian and Taoist student who are nothing like you!"
"Please give me the title, Mr. Yan Yuan!" Du Ning said.
"Okay! Since you won't shed tears until you see the coffin, and you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River, then I, Yan Song, will help you today. I want you to know what it is to have people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world!"
Yan Song's face showed unscrupulous contempt, then he glanced around and said to the students: "Today's article is titled 'Horse', and I invite students to write it. Time is a stick of incense."
"After writing the article, it still needs to be submitted to the examiner for review. Those who are evaluated as Grade A can pass the student status examination and become students of our Nanping Prefecture Liberal Arts College. Those who fail to pass the article will continue to work hard next year."
"Now, students, please start writing articles!"
After the words fell, all the students looked at each other in confusion.
"How to write this article with the title of 'Horse'?"
"We scholars are actually asked to write about an animal. How unbecoming is this?"
All the students were in trouble for a while. Scholars' articles usually used objects to express their ambitions, and used some things that the scholars liked to express their ambitions.
What kind of thing can this beast write?
Yan Song chuckled, looked at Du Ning, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, feeling very proud.
This time he was well prepared and deliberately made an extremely unpopular subject.
Not to mention Tong Sheng, even Jinshi may not be able to write this kind of subject matter well.
However, the examiners present will appropriately reduce the difficulty of the review. As long as you can write a clear explanation without deviating too much from the topic, you will generally pass.
But for Du Ning, Yan Song would criticize his article at all costs. No matter how good the article was, Yan Song would prevent Du Ning from entering the Academy of Arts.
Yan Song wants to personally destroy Du Ning's Confucianism and make Du Ning regret going against him.
"Du Ning, the poem you wrote is indeed good, but the article tests more content. I don't believe you can write a good article!"
Yan Song thought so in his heart, smiling even more from ear to ear, thinking that he had already won.
"I understand! There are many types of horses. Some horses can run thousands of miles in a day, and some horses can charge into battle. As long as you write about this kind of horse, isn't it enough?"
A certain student suddenly felt a surge of literary thoughts and started writing an article.
After hearing the words, others suddenly realized.
That's right! There are many types of horses. As long as you choose one of them to write about, you can still express your ambitions.
Yan Song saw that many students had begun to write, and his face showed a happy smile.
On the other hand, Du Ning didn't move a word and sat in his seat, wondering what he was thinking.
"Haha... Mr. Du, don't be anxious, think about it slowly." Yan Song said with a smile.
Du Ning stretched himself, and after pondering on the spot, he began to write an article.
The article is called "Horse Theory".
"There are Bole in the world, and then there are thousand-mile horses. Thousand-mile horses always exist, but Bole does not always exist."
“Therefore, even though there is a thousand-mile horse, it will be carelessly grown and be dead in a stall, never being called as a thousand-mile horse.”
When he wrote this, Du Ning's paper burst out with dazzling golden light.
This scene immediately attracted the attention of many readers.
"Could it be that the article is a vision?"
"Such a powerful talent, no less powerful than Mingzhou!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"What a great talent!"
Many scholars were filled with admiration and looked at Du Ning with eyes filled with respect.
"How is this possible!"
Yan Song's smile suddenly changed. He couldn't believe that Du Ning could actually write an article that was almost as good as Mingzhou's. It was a slap in his face.
Many academicians and Hanlin present also set their sights on Du Ning.
Some were shocked, some were ecstatic.
Some people are angry, while others are unwilling.
"A horse that can run a thousand miles can eat as much millet or stone as it eats. Those who eat a horse do not know that it can run a thousand miles. It is a horse that, although it can run a thousand miles, is not full of food, lacks strength, its talent and beauty are not visible, and it wants to compete with others."
If you can't get a long horse, how can you expect it to be able to run a thousand miles?"
"It cannot be driven according to the right way, it cannot be fed to its full potential, it cannot understand its meaning when it calls, and when it comes to it with the policy in hand, it says: 'There is no horse in the world!'"
"Wow! It's true that there is no horse evil? It's true that you don't know horses!"
As soon as the pen fell, the talent formed in the article soared into the sky, turning into words in the air, forming the article "Horse Theory".
All the students looked up at "Horse Theory" with shock on their faces.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In the sacred temple of the Wenyuan Academy, the bells ring without ringing.
Immediately afterwards, a majestic force fell from the sky and landed on the original manuscript of "The Story of Horses".
Not only the liberal arts college in Nanping Prefecture, but also the liberal arts colleges in other states, prefectures, and counties, and the holy bells in the holy temples do not ring.
Such a strange sight has surprised scholars everywhere.
"The holy bell is ringing, could it be the birth of a saint?"
"No! The bell only rang three times. It was melodious but not urgent, and the sound was deep but not heavy. Someone should have written an article above Mingzhou, Inspiration from the Holy Temple."
"Who is so powerful that he can make the holy bell ring by itself? I really admire you!"
While many scholars were discussing, the talents and powers in holy temples from various places were evolving the text of "The Theory of Horses" in the air.
"This article is so well written! It uses objects as metaphors to express the grief and indignation of unrecognized talents and unfulfilled ambitions. Horses with a thousand li are common, but bole are not common. The author has been treated unfairly!"<
/p>
"Since ancient times, how many people have had talents that were not recognized and were not allowed to show their ambitions. As a result, they are depressed and unhappy and spend the rest of their lives miserably. It is not that there is no talent, but that the people in power do not recognize talents!"
"First there is a bole, and then there is a thousand-mile horse. If one cannot know how to use it well, such a ruler will definitely bring disaster to the country and the people, and should be criticized by the writings of Qing history!"
This article made many readers across the country feel aggrieved.
At the same time, this article also tells a truth.
If the people in the current dynasty do not have the talent of "Bo Le knows horses", there will be no "horse that can travel a thousand miles" in the world.
This article has extraordinary meaning!
In the Literary Academy of Nanping Prefecture.
A bachelor said: "This is an article about subjugating the country. How can it be compared with Mingzhou? Du Ning has a great talent. If he cannot study in the liberal arts academy, it will not only be a loss for the liberal arts academy, but also a loss for the court and the country."
The loss, even the loss of the entire human race."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Song turned pale and clenched his right hand into a fist, but couldn't stop shaking.
Everyone looked at Yan Song sympathetically.
If Du Ning had written an article about Mingzhou, Yan Song would have been able to exclude Du Ning from the Academy of Arts.
But it was Du Ning who controlled the country with his articles, and the holy bell tolled by itself, and everyone in the world knew it.
For such a talented person, Yan Song actually wanted to shut him out. Who knows how big a stir it would cause in the literary world. Let alone the Eight Wise Kings, even if Emperor Jingwen personally interceded, it would be difficult to calm the anger of scholars all over the world. Especially those whose talents are not appreciated are very likely to set off a storm, criticize the court, and launch a campaign of criticism.
This article is of great significance and has exceeded everyone’s imagination.
It has been hundreds of years since the Yun Kingdom saw any articles about state governance.
"Dumou's article is finished, I'm leaving."
Du Ning put away the manuscript of "The Story of Horses" and walked slowly towards the door.
Everyone remembered what Du Ning said before, no matter whether they passed the test or not, they would not enter this liberal arts college.
Now that Wen Zhengguo has left the country, this is obviously a slap in Yan Song’s face.
Yan Song gritted his teeth, his face turning green and red.
Many bachelors and Hanlin were immediately anxious.
