"Shao Tong, right?" Xia Lishuang looked at the other party, her expression could even be said to be kind, "He's the great talent from Qingfeng Tea House! I've heard about it a long time ago, so I didn't expect anything like this today, but...
…I have something here, please help me read it!”
Shao Tong was stunned. He took the thick stack of poems handed over by the guard, and after opening them, he was stunned.
These are poems he wrote from the time he became famous at a young age until he arrived in the capital. The span is huge, and there are even obscene lyrics and songs he wrote specifically for a nearby brothel...
This... Shao Tong was stunned on the spot, a little unsure of what Xia Lishuang meant.
"Read it! I'm waiting to hear it!"
Xia Lishuang's expression was kind, and her eyes did not distinguish between joy and anger.
Shao Tong was stunned. Even though he was a little embarrassed in his heart, the majesty of the king of the country was displayed there. Although he felt a little strange in his heart, he still read on.
Shao Tong's dignified and awkward voice resounded in front of everyone, and everyone around him listened attentively and held their breath quietly.
After reading about ten poems in one breath, Xia Lishuang finally stopped.
"Do you know what the problem is?" Xia Lishuang smiled slightly and walked forward.
Shao Tong did not speak, but shook his head in confusion.
"The poems you wrote when you were young are indeed amazing and full of aura, but... the moment you decide to pursue an official career, all your poems are flattering and full of praise. Although Mr. Lu is a bit venomous,
But what you said is all the truth! You only want to be an official and please the nobles, but have you ever thought about pursuing your career in your position?"
Shao Tong sat paralyzed on the ground. Xia Lishuang's tone could even be said to be gentle, but it almost sent him into hell, as he had already been defeated instantly.
"Among the famous talents at Qingfeng Tea House, Nan Xiubai, although eccentric and mediocre in poetry, has made many times more sophisticated mechanical equipment, which can greatly increase the equipment of our army. Bi Shen lived in Yongzhou and had a desire when he was young.
The ambition to build water conservancy projects to prevent floods is due to the
He has a lot of research on humanistic geography. Others, such as Mr. Lu in front of you, are fluent in speech, but they speak extremely wisely. The talents in Honglu Temple are all of this type. Otherwise, why would I use
Is he going to be the judge of this poetry competition?"
Xia Lishuang raised her head and walked around the front row, looking at the group of scholars.
Lu Shenyan's criticism just now was obviously extremely effective. Now this group of scholars who were originally arrogant are like wilting eggplants. Those who have been named are almost too embarrassed to raise their heads because they are not named.
, with a look of panic on his face.
Obviously, scholars have the thinnest skin. How can they withstand such a blow?
Xia Lishuang suppressed her smile, looked at everyone coldly, and spoke loudly.
"In all the past dynasties, which era did not have talented people? Which era did not have the so-called flattery and the existence of flattering people? However, what the court needs is not these people with bright tongues, but those who can truly benefit the people and stabilize the country.
You are a talented person! You have read the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, but you cannot just memorize them by rote and forget the wisdom and profound meaning written in the holy words by your ancestors!"
"Moreover! Scholars and officials must withstand criticism and blows, carry out reforms, expand territories, and create a prosperous age. Which of these things is easy? Today is still a verbal blow, so you guys will
You are so listless, what if the enemy you face wants your life in the future? How can you still be so sad for spring and autumn?!"
Xia Lishuang's words were not serious, but they were full of coldness and solemnity.
The whole place suddenly fell silent, and many of the scholars froze on the spot as if they had been struck by lightning, looking up at their monarch blankly.
