Dou Tao saw Su Daozhi's solemn expression and knew that he was frightened by the feud between Hu and Han mentioned by Chen Caozhi and did not dare to return to Di Qin. However, Dou Tao was ordered to come to lobby. Of course he was very talented in arguing.
After failing like this, he immediately said loudly: "What Chen Shijun said was only the disadvantages of moving the Su clan back to Guanzhong. He did not mention the benefits of staying in Pingyu. Moreover, these so-called disadvantages were just what Chen Shijun took for granted. Wang
In the Spring and Autumn Period, when Shangshu was at his peak, if he was strong and healthy, he would be able to assist the Holy Lord to achieve great things. Although people today die young, there are still many people who live to an advanced age. In the distant past, Liu Xuande still invited Zhuge Kongming to come out of his thatched cottage at the age of forty-nine.
Help him strive for world hegemony. Xie Anshi recently came out of Dongshan in his forties, and Wang Shangshu is younger than Xie Anshi. Isn’t it a time when there is much to be done?"
Chen Caozhi smiled and signaled Dou Tao to speak freely.
Dou Tao talked about: "When Wang Shangshu came to power, he eradicated the powerful rightists, suppressed all officials, and also established a reward and punishment system and an official examination system, so that a large number of talented people from poor families could fully display their knowledge and serve the country.
, the shortcomings of the arbitrary and reckless implementation of these nine-rank official laws were swept away, and the trend of cultivating integrity and knowing shame, and encouraging career competition and academic competition became increasingly popular; in addition, Wang Shangshu restored Chang'an Imperial College and rebuilt academic palaces in various places to commemorate Confucius and Confucianism.
To supervise education, all the children of the ministers and below, regardless of whether they are Hu or Han, are enrolled in school. Isn’t this a policy of changing customs and promoting long-term stability? Last year, Wang Shangshu recruited more than 30,000 servants from the right and left to open the upper reaches of the Jing River, dig mountains, raise embankments, and dredge ditches.
, how could these policies that benefit the people turn from benefits to disadvantages just because Wang Shangshu died! So it is said that Qin will prosper and Jin will decline!"
Dou Tao was just talking about how Wang Meng promoted Confucianism and emphasized education. Then he suddenly said that Qin will prosper and Jin will decline. Chen Caozhi frowned and said coldly: "Master Dou, don't forget Fufeng Dou."
The surname is the descendant of Emperor Shaokang of the Xia Dynasty. The Jin Dynasty inherited the Han Dynasty and Wei Zhengshuo, which is the orthodoxy of the Celestial Dynasty. Do you really think that the Han people in the country of Di and Qin can be equal to the Di people? The Di people are far less than the Han people. Of course, at the beginning of the founding of the country, the Han people must be roped in for their use. Xianbei
Didn't the Murong family also try their best to win over the big families in the Central Plains, such as the Cui family, the Wei family, the Pei family, and the Lu family? When the Jin Dynasty occupied Jiangdong, no matter whether it was Di Qin or Xianbei, they would not be too harsh on the Han people. If Jin fell, the Di people and Xianbei people would not be too harsh.
The concern is that the Han people are second-class citizens and must be enslaved by the barbarians. "Chun Qiu Zuo Zhuan" says that "people who are not of our race must have different hearts." Han people's poetry and etiquette have been passed down for thousands of years. The Han people are the majority in the land of Kyushu. The Han people founded the country and led the Yi and Di.
This is to comply with the way of heaven. The barbarians and the Di people are causing trouble to China, which is contrary to heaven and will not last long!"
Dou Tao was very embarrassed and annoyed by Chen Caozhi's face-to-face rebuke, and said loudly: "Don't talk about those lofty ideals, just talk about the pros and cons of whether the Su family clan should stay or not. Jiangzuo selects people with nine grades, and the Su family is just a common people.
What's the point of getting ahead here! Once the country is overthrown, everything will be destroyed. It's just for the sake of the family. How can we go to Guanzhong to gain fame?"
Chen Caozhi asked: "Why does Mr. Dou think I am waiting for others?"
Dou Tao said angrily: "Jiang Zuo Wei Jie, whose name is spread throughout all of Jiuzhou, do you still want to flatter me below?"
Chen Caozhi ignored Dou Tao's sarcasm and said calmly: "I, the Chen family of Qiantang, were a commoner three years ago. Can't I still serve the country today? I am an important figure in Jiang Zuo. He is really talented. How can he not be successful?
Land! Brother Ziyi and I came from Ruyin on the same road. Brother Ziyi is courteous and proficient in the art of war. Such talents should be used by our Jin Dynasty. How can they serve the country of Yi and Di!"
The Chen family of Qiantang, together with the Lu family of Fanyang, and other six surnames were transferred from the common people to the scholar register. This matter was widely spread. Su Daozhi and his son had naturally heard about it. Now listening to what Chen Caozhi said, they all felt that although they were common people, they There was no chance of being promoted to a scholar in Weishi. The father and son looked at each other, nodded together, and made up their minds to stay in Pingyu. Su Dao said: "Mr. Dou Lang, there is no need to say more. I, the Su family, have been in Pingyu for fifteen years. He must have been completely changed beyond recognition. Now he has settled down in Pingyu and doesn't want to move far away." He glanced at Chen Cao and said: "Chen Shijun is a kind man and he will not blame Dou Langjun. Dou Langjun will be here tomorrow. Go back to Guanzhong."
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "How about blaming me! I'm on a mission to Qin. If Mr. Dou doesn't give up, there's no harm in going with him."
Dou Tao was pampered and boasted of both civil and military skills. He had always been arrogant and arrogant. It was unbearable to be so disgraced today. He said angrily: "Chen Shijun is indeed a handsome man from Jiangzuo. He is invincible in his talk. I wonder if he has the talent for practical work!"
Shen Chiqian, who was standing behind Chen Cao, couldn't help but be angry. Shen Chiqian admired Master Chen's talents and conduct. Hearing Dou Tao's sarcasm several times, he couldn't bear it and said: "My master is as knowledgeable as the sea and as talented as a mountain. How can a man like your father only dream of doing this to you!"
Shen Chiqian's words were too harsh. Chen Caozhi scolded: "Chiqian, you must not be rude."
Dou Tao got up angrily, knocked over the small case in front of him, and made a loud "bang" sound. A low exclamation came from behind the bamboo curtain in the side room. It was a woman's voice, and the bamboo curtain shook slightly.
The one who exclaimed was Su Hui, the young lady of the Su family. She peeked from behind the curtain to watch Chen Caozhi arguing with Dou Tao. Dou Tao's appearance could be considered handsome, but because of Chen Caozhi, he immediately lost his former beauty. The cavalry general Wang Ji was handsome and handsome, but every time he saw his nephew Wei Jie, he often sighed and said: "I look dirty with pearls and jade beside me." The sad thing about Dou Tao is that he sat at the same table with Chen Caozhi and Su Hui met these two people for the first time, but her eyes only glanced at Dou Tao's face, and could not move away from Chen Caozhi's face. Chen Caozhi's gentle and graceful demeanor, elegant and wise conversation made him Su Hui was dazzled and couldn't help but sigh deeply: "There is such a man in the world. No wonder the three Wu family girls would not marry him. Poor Su Ruolan lives in a small county. I have never seen such a person!"
When Dou Tao was aroused by Shen Chiqian's words, he suddenly got angry and knocked over several cases. Su Hui was frightened and shouted, and quickly stepped back a few steps away from the bamboo curtain. Her heart was pounding wildly. He said loudly: "Jiang Zuo is an important person. Humph, I'm afraid it's just appearance. Is Chen Shijun talented? I would like to learn from you?"
I heard Chen Caozhi's elegant and calm voice reply: "I wonder how Mr. Dou can teach me?"
Dou Tao said: "I am a son of a good family in the state of Qin. I am not partial to poetry, writing, riding and shooting. The world is not in peace now, so I would like to ask Chen Shijun for advice on riding and shooting."
Su Hui behind the curtain couldn't help but worry about Chen Caozhi. Su Hui also knew that the descendants of the Jiangzuo gentry admired literature and disliked martial arts. Chen Caozhi should not be able to compare with Dou Tao in terms of riding and shooting. However, Chen Caozhi laughed and asked: "If Mr. Dou competes with your king's minister in riding and archery, if he wins, then you will be the minister's servant in archery. Is that okay?"
Dou Tao was embarrassed. Chen Caozhi's words clearly meant that Dou Tao was not worthy of competing with him. Just as he was about to retort, a loud voice like a bell suddenly shouted: "A competition in riding and archery? I'll compete with you!"
The voice was so loud that it made the wine bottles and cups on the tables tremble slightly. When Dou Tao raised his eyes and looked up, the speaker was the eight-foot tall man standing behind Chen Cao. Dou Tao had heard Chen Cao's voice.
Cao Zhi introduced that this giant man was Chen Yu and Chen Zisheng, Chen Cao Zhi's younger brother, who is now the governor of the tribe.
When Ran Sheng was speaking, he strode out and stood in front of Dou Tao, condescendingly looking down upon him. Dou Tao was not short, about seven feet four inches, but compared with Ran Sheng, who was eight feet away, he was half a head shorter.
To be able to have a majestic attitude, we can only say that Dou Tao's appearance in Sujiapu was a mistake. With Chen Caozhi, Mrs. Su didn't bother to take a second look at him. With Ran Sheng, his brave and heroic appearance pales in comparison.
Seeing the embarrassment on Dou Tao's face, Chen Caozhi knew that he did not dare to compete with Ran Sheng in martial arts, so he smiled and said: "If you really want to compete, you must respect the master's opinion. Let's ask Master Su to come up with the topic."
Su Daozhi and Su Qi's father and son looked at each other. At this moment, a little maid came forward to salute Su Daozhi and said a few words in a low voice. Su Daozhi hesitated, and then discussed a few words with his son Su Qi.
Naidao said: "Chen Shijun, Dou Langjun, and my daughter Ruolan are very good at palindrome poems. They have newly woven a beautiful palindrome poem with a total of 116 words. If you two can learn from these 116 words,
If you get more than ten poems, you will be considered the winner, how about that?"
Chen Caozhi smiled slightly: "If you dare to disobey orders, I wonder if Mr. Dou will insist on riding and shooting?"
Dou Tao is familiar with three hundred poems and can recite all the poems of Jian'an scholars. Although he is unfamiliar with palindrome poems, he is not afraid of them. If Chen Caozhi can get ten poems, what can't he do? Sitting quietly now,
Said: "So what if it's better than poetry!"
Su Huifang, who was behind the curtain in the side hall, was very excited. From the gap of the curtain, she watched the little maid Qing Hu present the two pieces of brocade to Chen Caozhi and Dou Tao respectively, and a boy servant brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but Chen Caozhi refused to let them go.
The boy polished the ink for him, while he polished the ink himself and looked at the brocade carefully.
For some reason, the girl Su Hui felt shy when she saw Chen Caozhi concentrating on trying to figure out the brocade palindrome poem, as if Chen Caozhi was looking at her face to face.
Chen Caozhi in the hall saw the brocade of palindrome poems presented by the maid, and knew that he had taken advantage again. The palindrome poem on this brocade had been presented to him by Su Qi the day before, ". Lu Guan Shu Lav is the name of Ru Yun."
The brilliance of tailoring is the mulberry tree that spins out silk in June and the husk sprouts new branches in winter." Chen Caozhi had been pondering for a long time, and when the ink became thicker, he picked up the purple hair pen and wrote the elegant and graceful "Zhang Han"
"Tie" style running script, according to the methods of straight reading, backward reading, horizontal reading and oblique reading, I wrote fifteen poems on the paper in one go, including four four-character poems, six five-character poems and five seven-character poems.
Dou Tao was still looking left and right at the brocade, unable to start. Chen Caozhi had already handed the fifteen poems he had written to the little boy to Su Daozhi. Su Daozhi glanced at it in a hurry and praised Chen Caozhi's poems.
For calligraphy, I ordered my maid to send this poem to Miss Ruolan for viewing.
Su Hui in the side hall took the poem note written by Chen Caozhi and only glanced at it. Her heart was shocked. The hands holding the poem note trembled slightly. Well, the words are just like the person, clear and elegant, with a gentle and elegant air.
She came out of the paper. As for the verses above, she was naturally very familiar with them. She was filled with sadness for some reason, and she sighed in her heart: "Today or later, I will meet this beloved man!" She suddenly said in a voice: "Chen Shijun is the winner."
Before Dou Tao handed in the paper, Mrs. Su judged Chen Caozhi as the winner, which could be described as impatience.
