Xu Ling's outburst made Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng subconsciously shudder even though they were used to showing off and arrogantly relying on their status as princes.
Only then did they realize who they had just provoked. Maybe many people would give in to three points of courtesy because of their status as princes, but Xu Ling certainly would not. Because their father always gave in to Xu Ling in three points of courtesy.
They were even regarded as "emperors". Logically speaking, they should come and salute Xu Ling respectfully.
Xu Ling knocked on the table: "This poetry meeting is hosted by me. Since the two of you are here to participate, you are acting as participants. Over the years, although the poetry meeting in the past dynasties has been intermittent due to various reasons, the other
The fundamental principle remains unchanged. Poetry gatherings, meeting friends with poems, are gatherings where young people recite poems, compose poems, and communicate with each other. Although there are various forms of competitions and the final "laurel" award in the poetry gathering, all of this is
The premise is that everyone is treated equally, and everyone is a poet!"
The old man's voice was loud and full of energy. Shen Jungao wanted to speak several times, but he never found a chance to interrupt Xu Ling. As a veteran minister who made his fortune by being eloquent, Xu Ling expressed his thoughts very quickly.
The control has reached its peak, and Shen Jun is not given a chance to get better.
It was the first time I really saw Xu Ling getting angry. Even though Li Xingchen was a man of two generations, he couldn't help but secretly gasp. The ancients were honest and honest. It is clearly recorded in the history books that Xu Ling once couldn't understand Chen Xu's behavior. In front of Emperor Chen Wen and Emperor Chen Wen,
In front of all the civil and military officials, he had a big quarrel with Chen Xu in the court hall and scolded Chen Xu so much that Chen Xu humbly sought advice from Xu Ling, worked hard to become stronger, and finally ascended to the throne.
After all, the master who was able to scold Chen Xu until he was covered in sweat can still scold Chen Xu's two sons until they dare not say a word.
Li Xingchen couldn't remember who once said that the highest level of swearing is to curse someone without swearing, and not giving the other party a chance to fight back. Now Xu Ling has obviously done it.
Chen Shujian stamped his feet: "But those questions that Ming Gong gave before..."
This time, even Xiao Shilian and others who were standing aside to watch the excitement couldn't help but shook their heads. Wasn't this because they had itchy ears and were looking for scolding themselves?
Shen Jungao coughed lightly, stood up and supported Xu Ling. The strength in his hands was weakened, and he said in a low voice: "After all, we are two princes, please be careful."
Xu Ling snorted, said no more, and sat down directly. Shen Jungao smiled and cupped his hands: "The doubts of the two highnesses must be shared by many people present. Shen is not talented, but I want to ask the two highnesses first.
One question. The two princes are confused, is it because the poems tested in the second level are not in any book that has been circulated in the world? "
Chen Shujian was startled for a moment. He couldn't afford to offend Xu Ling, and neither could Shen Jungao. He was really angry just now, and now he realized how stupid he had done. Fortunately, Shen Jungao didn't stand up like Xu Ling.
He wanted to ask questions, and he seemed to want to be a peacemaker. Since the steps had been given, Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng had to step down.
Shaking his head, Chen Shujian said in a deep voice: "No, I can find them all and have read them before."
Shen Jungao nodded slightly: "In this case, your two highnesses are angry because some of the poems in the exam are recorded folk songs. Although your two highnesses have read a lot, even if they see such poems in normal times, they will
Scoff."
More and more young people have come up from the second level. They are obviously confused and dissatisfied for the same reason, and they all nod their heads at this time.
Shen Jungao's face suddenly darkened: "I dare to ask your two highnesses, dare to ask all of you here, if the spring and snow are singing, then the Liba people are not singing? The poetry meeting is called the 'Poetry Meeting', and all ancient and modern poems should be examined.
Only when it is a school can it be called a poetry meeting. I wonder if you think this is correct?"
After a pause, Shen Jungao continued: "Poets are written by poets. Poets, regardless of high or low, anyone who can speak poetry can be called a poet. Therefore, these ballads can also be regarded as a kind of poetry, and the emotional meaning contained in them can even
It is even better than the poems written by many dignitaries today, so why can't they appear in this poetry meeting?"
The entire clearing on the top of the mountain was silent, and these young people were deep in thought.
Li Xingchen looked with great interest at Shen Jungao, who was talking eloquently, and Xu Ling, who was concentrating with his eyes closed. Thanks to people in this era who understood poetry so thoroughly, they were able to leave many popular poems for future generations.
Although Xu Ling is an old fox, when someone questions his choices and tramples on his efforts, he will still tell the world without hesitation that although the old fox is old, he still has anger.
"I have burned a stick of incense." Although Xu Ling's voice was calm, it woke up most of the people on the scene. After he came in, he had not seen the question yet.
Looking at the dozen or so people hurriedly reading the questions, Li Xingchen sighed and shook his head. These fools are trying to reason with the invigilator. The invigilator can tell you that you are unreasonable and make you unable to pass the test in the end.
"Junior has already done it, please give me some guidance from the two wise men." At this moment, Pei Yun suddenly took a step forward and said loudly.
A lecturer doctor hurriedly spread out a piece of paper and made a gesture of invitation.
And Li Xingchen chuckled lightly. When you finish arguing with the invigilator, you find that someone has already started handing in papers. This is the most panicked time, especially when the person handing in papers is a top student.
Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie both frowned. This Pei Yun was really good. In fact, they both had a certain idea in their hearts. They just didn't want to be the one who stood out. But this Pei Yun not only did it, but also based on the panic of other people around him.
Judging from their reactions, this newbie has completely thrown them into disarray.
Seeing his companion Long Feifengwu writing a poem, Xu Deyan smiled bitterly, raised his hands to Xu Ling and Shen Jun, and then gave Xiao Shilian a fist pump: "Excuse me."
Before he finished speaking, he stepped forward.
Xiao Shilian turned his head and looked at Li Xingchen: "Shizhong, do you have a certain number?"
Li Xingchen shrugged: "Thank God if I can answer the song "Mulan Ci", if I really want to tell you how to recite poems and compose poems."
"We can't wait any longer. We don't know what trouble will happen later." Xiao Shilian said in a deep voice, and Pei Zilie also responded. Li Xingchen made it clear that he was trying to make soy sauce, but the two of them couldn't follow suit. At the moment,
Come forward together.
These guys are no more innocent than Pei Yun. They can create a little more chaos, so why not do it.
