With the sound of gongs and drums, the month-long cultural gathering came to an end.
Scholars still gathered in Zhaixing Tower and Yaoyue Tower, but they no longer argued with each other with punches and kicks. Occasionally when the debate became fierce, some scholars would lose their temper and get violent. Of course, the scholars' moves could not be said to be fighting.
It is also a kind of elegance.
A group of older Confucian masters took their seats on the high platform. Volumes of collected works were presented for judging according to the six categories.
Although the text is as high as a mountain, it is not too difficult for Confucian masters. Many people have read the whole process. Even if they did not read it on site, they have not missed the text. They have already made up their mind.
Not all of these Confucian masters came from the Imperial Academy, but there were also some famous Confucian masters from common people. This was of course Chen Danzhu's request.
"Lest you protect each other dearly."
Zhou Xuan sneered: "The heart of a villain." Then he pointed at Xu Luozhi, who was standing with his hand extended, "Don't you accept that Mr. Xu will decide the outcome later? If you don't accept it, then find someone in the world who can compete with Mr. Xu.
And here comes the Confucian master of the common people who will convince everyone!"
Zhou Xuan did not watch the whole process here, nor did he pay close attention to him like the fifth prince and the third prince, Prince Qi, who made friends with the scholars through literature.
"I don't care and don't bother to see how it compares." He said, "I just want the results."
Yes, I have somewhat forgotten that this literary meeting was originally a competition initiated by Zhou Xuan and Chen Danzhu.
Therefore, although the scholars never saw Zhou Xuan during the whole process, and did not have the opportunity to talk and laugh with Zhou Xuan, their victory or defeat needed to be decided by Zhou Xuan. Zhou Xuan not only came, but also brought Xu Luozhi.
The Confucian masters judged the scholars who participated in the competition and selected the outstanding individuals. Finally, Xu Luozhi judged these outstanding individuals and decided who was better, the nobles or the common people.
It's surprising that Xu Luozhi can come.
After all, this incident was caused by the dispute between Chen Danzhu and the Imperial College, and it ultimately embarrassed Xu Luozhi.
Probably only Zhou Xuan could invite him, and his conclusion must be the most convincing to everyone, and it finally returned to the original dispute between Chen Danzhu and the Imperial College.
Of course Chen Danzhu also knew this, so he added: "I'm just dissatisfied with Mr. Xu's way of looking at people, but I'm still convinced by his knowledge." He then sarcastically said, "It's best to keep your name blank in the articles that will be submitted later.
, lest Mr. Xu only looks at people and not knowledge."
Xu Luozhi still had that calm face: "No need to blur your name, there are some filthy things in this world that I don't want to see, but the text and characters are pure and white."
Zhou Xuan immediately applauded and looked at Chen Danzhu: "Even if my father is here, as long as Mr. Xu decides the outcome, he will have no doubt."
No one doubts Zhou Qing.
Chen Danzhu stopped talking.
The two buildings were not as lively as before, and many scholars did not come. As scholars, what everyone wants is for scholars to be romantic, and there is nothing to care about winning or losing.
And who loses and who wins, what does it mean to them? If the children of the gentry win, they will have more prestige, and this reputation does not matter to them. If the children of the common people win, they will have more prestige, but this prestige is nothing to them.
The moment of glory, as for the future, the long journey of life and knowledge will remain the same.
Except for the third prince who was still in Zhaixinglou - accompanying the beauty Chen Danzhu, the fifth prince and the prince of Qi simply held a banquet elsewhere and invited all the nobles regardless of their race to drink and celebrate this great event for scholars.
This is a grand event for the scholars themselves, and has nothing to do with Chen Danzhu who was messing around for the beautiful scholar.
The third prince who hung out with Chen Danzhu had no good reputation. The fifth prince sat in front of the case, looked at the scholars gathered around the hall, raised his glass and laughed: "Everyone, we will drink from this cup together."
The scholars raised their glasses and laughed and drank with the fifth prince. They took turns coming forward to talk about poetry and essays with the fifth prince. The fifth prince endured his headache and gritted his teeth to listen. Fortunately, he brought four or five scribes with him who could take his place.
Deal with these gentlemen.
The fifth prince also greeted the invited common people scholars with a smile and said sincerely: "No matter where you come from, we are all scholars and we are all one family. Chen Danzhu's ridiculous things have nothing to do with you."
The common people thanked each other gratefully, but there were also some people who were not interested and sat at the table feeling sad. They said they were a family, but the future paths of the family were very different. What was even more ridiculous was that if it weren't for Chen Dan,
Zhu Huangtang, they don't even have the chance to sit with the prince now.
After this incident is over, everyone will no longer have contact with each other. The scholars of the gentry will either be officials or sit in the family and continue to study and be popular. They are rushing around for their future, waiting for good luck to come.
Being able to be assigned a high-grade level, so that you can express your ambitions and change your family——
Now the people sitting at this table were chatting, laughing and having a feast. It was true as the saying goes, it was a feast. He raised his glass and laughed at himself. If the gap of the gap is not bridged, we will never become a family.
"You want to be happy." The companion next to him whispered, "Seize the opportunity to become a disciple of the fifth prince. If you earn a good background in the future, your descendants will have nothing to worry about."
The man smiled: "This kind of opportunity depends more on personal luck and management. Even if I get this opportunity, my descendants are not me, so my future will not be worry-free."
The companion was helpless: "You can't think of happy things."
"There is nothing happy about it." The man sighed and drank the wine in one gulp. "Just force yourself to smile."
The companion shook his head and was about to say something, but suddenly a eunuch rushed in from outside the door: "Your Highness, Your Highness."
The fifth prince was interrupted and frowned: "What's the matter? Has the judgment result come out? Ignore that."
The eunuch ran in such a hurry, gasped and swallowed, and then said: "No, your highness, your majesty, your majesty has also gone to invite the moon tower to see the results of today's judgment."
What?
emperor!
The emperor actually left the palace? Or was it just to see what kind of judgment results he would get?
The fifth prince didn't say a word. He stood up and rushed out, knocking over the wine glass and kicking the table. He rushed out in a hurry. Everyone else heard that the emperor went to invite Yue Lou and stood there for a moment.
Immediately he also ran out in a hurry——
The emperor will go to see the results of the evaluation. He is the greatest scribe in the world! Winning or losing is very important!
But it is a pity that the emperor was walking privately when he left the palace. The people did not know about it and did not cause congestion. When the emperor arrived at Yaoyue Tower, everyone knew about it, and then the Yaoyue Tower was surrounded by the imperial army.
Except for the scholars who were inside before, no one from the outside can come in. Of course the fifth prince and Prince Qi can go in. At this time, they will not talk to the scholars about everything. They are a family and will take everyone in together.
Everyone could only beat their chests and feet in annoyance outside, looking at the bright yellow figure on the high platform over there in the distance.
The emperor did not come alone, he was accompanied by Princess Jin Yao.
Princess Jin Yao went to look for Chen Danzhu when she got out of the car. The emperor glared at her and stopped. She stood next to the emperor and winked at Chen Danzhu.
Chen Danzhu glanced back at the princess, bowed to the emperor and saluted, and said in a flattering and concerned manner: "Why are you here, Your Majesty? There are so many things going on during the new year?"
The emperor yelled and looked at the girl: "You know how many things are involved in the year? Then why do you want to cause such a thing to cause trouble for me?"
