Who is spreading the rumor? The source is naturally His Majesty the Ming Emperor, and the news came from the mouth of the eunuch.
I learned from the eunuch that Emperor Ming was full of praise for Niu Sanjin, saying that he was as sharp as a rafter and could directly attack the chronic diseases in the army. This made Li Tianle curious about Niu Sanjin. According to what he heard, Niu Sanjin was an illiterate man.
What a reckless man.
Now everyone's eyes were on Cheng Dalei, who was looking back with his head bent, his posture was actually extremely awkward.
"Ha, the eldest prince really has a keen eye. I have also heard a little about Niu Xiaowei's reputation. To be honest, I was shocked by Niu Xiaowei when I first met him."
Song Tianhan said with a gentle smile, a murderous intention flashed across his eyes as he glanced at Baili Sheng. Sometimes the purpose of praising you is to step on you. The higher the praising, the harder it will be trampled.
"Oh, is that really true? Today is a grand gathering, and Captain Niu is just here to let everyone learn from the great talents."
Baili Sheng felt bitter in his heart. What kind of talent could Niu Sanjin have? Coming from a remote place in the northwest border area, he could read well. Song Tianhan was not letting Niu Sanjin show his talent, but embarrassing him.
.
"This time we are hosting a banquet for the scholars participating in the martial arts examination. Niu Xiaowei is the examiner this time. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to attend. Besides, Niu Xiaowei is a military commander and does not understand the art of poetry."
"Alas, what Uncle Chang Zhong said is wrong. They are all talents from the empire. There is no difference at all. Besides, military commanders don't need to know poetry and books. I don't think so. Besides, the eldest prince has said that Captain Niu has mountains and rivers in mind.
There is beauty hidden in your belly, but don’t be too modest. I don’t know, Xiaowei Niu already has something in mind." Song Tianhan looked at Cheng Dalei with a smile: "Am I right?"
Damn it to you!
Cheng Dalei had a long beard on his face. In order to avoid being recognized, he also darkened his face. It really didn't look like he was reading a sage's book, and Song Tianhan could also see it. Cheng Dalei was extremely nervous now and was sweating.
It oozed from his face, so he definitely couldn't write poetry and was so ashamed that he couldn't stand it.
This is why Song Tianhan guessed wrong. Cheng Dalei was indeed very nervous, but it was not because he could not write a poem, but because he was worried about being recognized by a peach. At this moment, the girl looked at him with a smile, wondering if she had been recognized.
, it doesn’t matter if you recognize him, but don’t talk nonsense.
But most people had the same idea as Song Tianhan. The civil servants were arrogant and the generals were sighing. However, it was not the first time that they were brutally tortured by civilian officials in the art of poetry. They were still used to being abused.
"You don't need poetry to kill the enemy on the battlefield," Liu Qingming suddenly said.
"But you didn't kill the enemy either." Qu Jiujiang pursed his lips.
Wow!
His words aroused public anger, and many generals wanted to stand up, draw their swords, and kill the man surnamed Qu. The reason why everyone was angry was... what he said was right.
The dignity of soldiers naturally does not need to be competed in poetry. The key is that they really have no outstanding achievements on the battlefield. They are looked down upon and despised by the civil servants, but they can only endure it in frustration.
"Hey! Qu Jiujiang, what are you talking about!" Li Tianle suddenly shouted.
To call him by his name, it was Li Tianle who really made him angry. As the saying goes, you don't slap someone in the face when you hit someone, and you don't expose someone's shortcomings when you scold someone. Your words directly penetrated people's hearts. Do you have to bring the conflict between civil servants and military generals to the table?
"Victory and defeat are common matters for soldiers. Imperial soldiers fight on the battlefield and wrap their bodies in horse leather. Why not kill the enemy?" Li Tianle had to help the generals regain some face. He sighed softly: "The Imperial God of War will arrive in three days. These words
Do you dare to say it in front of him?"
Baili Sheng and his gang immediately raised their heads, yes, we didn't win the battle. Wasn't the battle in Youzhou fought beautifully? Although we didn't fight that battle, we are all imperial soldiers.
To a certain extent, Yang Longting has become the spiritual symbol of the imperial soldiers. They can still stand up straight because of Yang Longting's support.
No one noticed that Cheng Dalei's bent waist had straightened up, and he lowered his head to hide the murderous intent in his eyes. At this moment, Cheng Dalei actually found that his wrist was trembling slightly, not because of fear, but because of excitement.
After waiting for a year, isn’t this the moment you’ve been waiting for?
Everyone was excited about the arrival of Yang Longting. Yang Longting was not only extremely authoritative among the military generals, but also had many people who admired him among the civil servants.
"Lord God of War will be arriving in three days. I wonder if I can ask the eldest prince to introduce him to me."
"If I could get the teachings from the God of War, I would die by the time I hear the truth."
No one noticed that Cheng Dalei had already passed through the crowd, walked from the entrance of the hall to the innermost part of the hall, and came to the desk with the Four Treasures of the Study.
Someone noticed his actions and subconsciously asked: What is he going to do?
Baili Sheng was shocked: No, don't embarrass him.
Song Tianhan, on the other hand, said with a smile: "It seems that Captain Niu already has poems in his heart, and he won't be happy if he doesn't write them."
Cheng Dalei wrote, soaked in thick ink, and spread out the rice paper with one hand. The way he held the pen naturally aroused a burst of ridicule, but the first sentence he wrote made everyone open their mouths in surprise.
"When the boy was fifteen or twenty, he captured the horse riding on foot"
…
"One body has traveled three thousand miles, one sword has served as a division for millions"
The sound of breathing became heavier and heavier, and no one among the hundreds of people on the field spoke at this moment, and only the steady breathing of hundreds of people could be heard.
"Guhou melons are sold on the roadside, and Mr. Liu is in front of the door."
…
"Under the Helan Mountain, there are formations like clouds, and I can hear feathers flying around each other day and night."
…
"Try to brush the iron clothes like snow, talk about holding a sword to move the stars"
…
"Don't be afraid of being a defender in the clouds in the old days. You can still win meritorious service in a single battle."
There was silence. Everyone looked at the words on the paper, then at Cheng Dalei, and they all shook their heads at the same time.
Li Tianle stretched out his hand and said in a stiff voice: "Niu Xiaowei is really, really..."
Bailisheng shook his head and thought: Don't look at me, I didn't expect it either.
The expression on Song Tianhan's face was frozen. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated several times. Finally, he shook his head in embarrassment, unable to say anything.
"This poem is astonishing to the world." Li Tianle sighed and gave an evaluation of this poem.
"No, it's wrong." Qu Jiujiang suddenly raised his head: "This poem is wrong, this poem was not written by you."
Everyone was shocked by Qu Jiujiang's words and wondered why he said this.
Qu Jiujiang read it again, feeling more certain in his heart, and said: "May I ask Captain Niu, who is this Huang Xu'er, where is Helan Mountain, and this Mr. Liu comes from that allusion. I have little talent and little knowledge. I have never heard of it. Could you please
Lieutenant Niu will explain it."
What's wrong? The allusion is wrong. There are similarities between the two worlds, but most of them are different. Some of the allusions mentioned in the poem have never appeared in this world. Everyone didn't think much of it when I first read it. Now, let's take a closer look
After chewing on it, I realized that the taste of the poem was not right.
Cheng Dalei looked at Qu Jiujiang and saw that his tone was sincere and his eyes were scorching, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, with a sense of pride that I will expose you, I will expose you.
