Chapter 75: New Compilation of Ge's Quotations (Part 2)
"Those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die... This is so well said!"
Zhu Ying sprang out from behind Princess Yongping like a ghost. She was startled when she saw her pressing her chest. She couldn't help curling her lips in disdain. Then she opened the bamboo curtain generously and stood on the railing. No need.
Looking back, she also knew the expression of the golden man behind her, and she immediately chuckled.
"When Emperor Taizu first conquered the world, he said that the defense of men and women is something that those rotten scholars admired, like footcloths! If you want to hold a literary meeting, just do it in a grand and open manner. Do you need curtains? Really?
If you like someone with good talent and good looks, just tell the emperor and empress that you want to marry him, will they still deny it?"
Princess Yongping suddenly turned pale with anger: "Do you think I am you?"
Zhu Ying turned around with a rebellious expression on her face: "Princesses can live as freely as they like! Emperor Taizu and Empress Xiaoxian raised eyebrows and respected each other as ice, but their daughter Princess Changle was a piece of charcoal and she even drew her sword to chase her.
The consort raised a woman outside, and then Emperor Taizu supported her and divorced her. She remarried a Tanhualang who liked to carve seals. How many masterpieces did the couple leave to the palace? "
As she spoke, she turned around and leaned out of the window again: "Sometimes Ah Shou is sincere and honest, but sometimes he is sharp-edged. I still haven't understood him clearly!"
"What happens after you understand, marry him?" Princess Yongping couldn't help but retort.
"Wait until I figure out the engagement!" Seeing that many people below noticed her, they all raised their heads, and then all of a sudden they all lowered their heads. Zhu Ying turned around and saw Princess Yongping following her.
Then he said with a smile, "Look, everyone is sanctimonious, but what's wrong with raising their heads to look at you? My fair lady, a gentleman is so jealous!"
"If we have different ways, we can't work together!" Princess Yongping interrupted Zhu Ying coldly, but looked down irritably.
After all, Xu Fengyang is a well-known picker in the capital. He won't be refuted by Zhang Shou like this, right?
Zhang Shou didn't notice that the two women on Yuehua Tower were arguing with each other. Seeing that Xu Fengyang was so angry that his beard was trembling, he laughed.
"I see in your preface, Mr. Xu, that you boast that this collection of contemporary essays has captured all the talented people, and you also boast that as long as you study these carefully, you will definitely make progress in the academic field. You are not just a selector of contemporary essays who is here today.
Do you have confidence that the articles you choose are more sophisticated than those chosen by others?"
Xu Fengyang was embarrassed and annoyed because Zhang Shou actually used Ge Yong to suppress others. He planned to raise his arms and call others to join him, so as to create a spark that could start a prairie fire. However, Zhang Shou's sudden words were like a sudden gouge.
A stab in the heart made him immediately scream that something was wrong. Sure enough, all he saw around him were those who had shared the same enemy, and they immediately stood aside and watched.
Although eight-part essay anthologists occasionally join forces, most of the time, in order to ensure the sales of their own anthologies and to ensure their own authority in the field of art and literature, they criticize and even slander others.
?
Who doesn't want to show off to the world that I am the most powerful, but you are all uneducated and have no skills, and the articles you selected are just rubbish?
Even if he had to bite the bullet, Xu Fengyang could only force himself to say: "That's natural. If I hadn't selected the most exquisite articles, why would my Shishi text have always been the most widely sold in Gyeonggi Province?"
"Oh, no wonder you are so confident. It turns out that your collection is selling well." Zhang Shou laughed again, "I saw that the volume you just took out, the title seems to be from the last Yuehua Lou Wen.
A collection of contemporary essays, right? According to your boast in the preface, the writings of the above-mentioned writers are as exquisite as those of sages and sages, with a style that has never been seen before or will be followed by others. Do you really think so?"
"So what? Many of the articles in this collection have been read by Princess Yongping! The rest were written by many famous writers in Gyeonggi Province after hearing the title of the previous Yuehualou literary conference. They are definitely the most
Good sample essay!" Mouse Beard raised his chin and kept encouraging himself in his heart.
So what if Taishi Ge was unparalleled in Shi Wen at that time? In recent years, he taught emperors and emperors, but they didn’t learn Shi Wen. He studied the Sutras carefully, which is even more incompatible with Shi Wen.
Art writing is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Even if Taishi Ge personally took charge of it, he didn't believe he could write better articles than the articles he chose!
You know, last month the judges were not only Xie Yuan Tang Ming, but also two second-class Jinshi in Shanghai Science and Technology. Among the dozen or so articles he selected, he spent a lot of money to ask Princess Yongping which ones had the highest private evaluations.
This article was placed at the front, and after praising it profusely, he spent a lot of money to get several famous old scholars to write sample essays, and then compiled it into a volume before others did.
In this regard, the princess was extremely talented. It is said that when she was still young, she sat on the emperor's lap and passed the first prize. Otherwise, how could so many scholars flock to the Yue Hua Lou Wen Festival?
The old parties in the DPRK and China will not secretly support this princess!
"The best? Haha." Zhang Shou smiled, and then Qi Liang pursed his lips: "The question given last month was 'Confucius' Articles', right? Xiao Qi, you also memorize an 'Confucius' Articles'
'Fan Wen, let this Mr. Xu listen!"
Seeing that many eyes were focused on him, Qi Liang took a deep breath, and then recited loudly: "The sage always shows others the virtues of virtue, and never talks lightly of the weakness of reason."
As soon as this question came out, everything was quiet. However, Zhu Ying on the Yuehua Tower felt dizzy for a while. When she saw Princess Yongping's face was as stiff as ice, she ignored him and directly grabbed the person's sleeve and asked.
Said: "Hey, explain, explain, what do you mean?"
Seeing that Concubine Yu and Mrs. Tai also came together, Princess Yongping resisted the urge to scold Zhu Ying for being uneducated and said calmly: "The title comes from the Analects of Confucius, 'The Master's articles can be read and heard; the Master's words can be heard'
"The way of heaven cannot be obtained but heard." This topic is relatively obscure in this Yue Hua Lou literary conference, and cannot be combined with actual facts to cite it and express it in an extended way."
"It is said in the annotations of the Four Books that virtues cannot be seen from the outside, and that is the case for majesty, etiquette, and words. Xing refers to the natural principles that humans receive; and the way of heaven refers to the natural essence of natural principles. In fact, this is the same principle. Therefore, this topic is straightforward.
What he is saying is that the Master often lets people see the outstanding aspects of his virtues, but does not easily explain the subtle aspects of heavenly principles to others."
The more Zhu Ying listened, the more she felt that one person was bigger than the other. But when she saw a large group of people below looking at each other, she couldn't help but feel happy. Even if Qi Liang's next bunch of things were said, she could understand at most 10%.
"The article is obvious but the nature is slightly different from the way of heaven. The sages teach not to be confused, so this scholar has heard that it is difficult and easy to understand."
"The meaning of Zigong is as follows: Master's virtue..."
"Is this a work of majesty that can be feared and resembling...is it difficult to understand unless it is so small?"
After listening to this paragraph, Zhang Shou suddenly interrupted: "Xiao Qi, stay here."
Seeing a large number of people suddenly waking up from a dream, with different expressions on their faces, he said with a smile but not a smile: "I heard that people who are well-informed and memorized can retell the text exactly as it is after listening to it once.
, so let’s just read half of the article.”
Xu Fengyang couldn't help but turn purple. The talented man he secretly supported was the type who never forgets what he has heard. If Qi Liang really finished reciting it, he could immediately prompt others to retell it, and then accuse the teacher and student in front of him of plagiarizing other people's articles!
But now that Zhang Shou has seen through it, this trick can no longer be used!
"I would like to ask Mr. Xu and everyone else, this article should not have been included in the collection of current articles, right?"
After receiving a quiet reply, Zhang Shou said in an understatement: "There is so much knowledge in the world, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. The famous writers of the time are also shining brightly, and there is not just one family that is the leading one. I, Gemen, have never published a collection of contemporary works.
It’s not that I can’t, but that I don’t want to. The teacher said that the saint’s concern for the world came from traveling around the world, not made up behind closed doors!”
You bastard, you are really addicted to putting gold on my face!
Under Qi Jingshan's surprised inspection, Ge Yong smiled so much that his brows stretched like a flower.
But he was quickly recalling in his mind, old man, Zhang Shou and I have not been together for a long time. Did I really not say that? Well, I think I did, otherwise how could Zhang Shou and that Xiao Qi talk about every word?
What's in my old man's heart?
No matter what, just treat these serious words as my old man said!
Although Ge Yong was very satisfied that the closed disciples had found such an excellent eight-legged essay from the beginning to the end of the topic, and his skills shocked everyone, he only felt that if he didn't take the person back today, Zhang Shou would not know
He was surprised by how many tricks he would create. At the moment, he could only cough in the awkward silence that surrounded him.
Chapter completed!
