Su Ling was stuffing a piece of shortbread into her mouth. She got up early today and didn't bother to eat. When Xiao Yuanche shouted, she choked and rolled her eyes.
He cried out in his heart, Da Sikong, Da Sikong, you are really kind to me. In front of everyone in the world, you set me up here as a living target, and I don't have to be stabbed by thousands of people.
Su Ling cried out in his heart, but Xiao Yuanche called him out in front of everyone, so he couldn't respond.
He had no choice but to risk his life and swallow the piece of shortbread alive, and hesitantly agreed loudly, then lifted up his robe and trotted all the way up to the high platform.
When he came to Xiao Yuanche's side, he bowed his hand to him and sang "O" to Liu Duan.
Under the steps, there was suddenly a buzz of discussion, one after another.
There are some who praise Su Ling for his talent, there are those who criticize Su Ling for his reputation, there are those who praise Su Ling's poems and essays, and there are also those who criticize Su Ling for just having bad luck.
There are many different opinions.
It's just that the focus of discussion is all on Su Ling.
Su Ling said to Xiao Yuanche in a low voice with some embarrassment: "Sikong, if you want to play this trick, tell me first so that I can be prepared. It's quite sudden anyway...
..I almost came back to the light..."
Xiao Yuanche was amused by Su Ling's idiom that made him laugh out loud. Then he didn't mind the excitement and said teasingly: "Anyway, the atmosphere has been set for you. I'll do my best to write poems later. Don't worry."
If you want to curb your sharp edges, it’s not good for young people to keep a low profile all the time!”
Su Ling was smiling bitterly to himself, but he heard Jin Emperor Liu Duan ask in a deep voice: "Su Ling, since you are here, why don't you come up to see me?"
N/M......
You're asking questions knowingly, but it's a shame. You broke the rules by sitting according to your status. What can I do?
Xiao Yuanche intercepted the conversation and said: "Your Majesty, Su Ling is just a Xicao, so he naturally sits at the back. But I thought, firstly, this poetry meeting was caused by Su Ling, and secondly, he was appointed by the Holy One to participate.
The candidates for the Poetry Society have three famous poems. I have a heartless request, and I hope that the Holy One will grant it."
Liu Duan's head was enlarged three times. Well, this good man, Xiao Yuanche, sat down really hard.
There was no other way, Liu Duan had no choice but to ask knowingly: "Sikong Dan, it's okay to say it."
"Based on the above three points, I think that Su Ling should sit under my seat as an exception to show the sage's love for talents. I don't know what the sage's intention is..." Xiao Yuanche looked at it with burning eyes.
With Liu Duan.
Liu Duan's face almost turned to vitriol...
I have no choice but to find my own solution. Anyway, the poetry meeting has not started yet. Let them be proud of it for the time being. I have poems to banish immortals. When the time comes, I can let them return the money with interest.
Liu Duangang wanted to speak.
However, I saw that someone in the audience had already knelt down and said loudly: "My minister Kong Hechen, I think what Sikong said is inappropriate!"
Everyone in Liu Duan was numb. From the sound, he knew that this was Kong Hechen, the leader of Qingliu.
Do you want me to be clean? How easy will it be for me to be caught in the middle of you?
Liu Duan had no choice but to calm down and asked: "Oh, what do Kong Qing have to say?"
Kong Hechen then snorted at Xiao Yuanche and Su Ling, and said loudly: "I think that Sikong's words have broken the rules of this poetry meeting! In this poetry meeting, the seats are arranged according to the height of the officials.
, how can one person destroy it! This is wrong with one thing; Su Ling is not as good as the Western Cao Dynasty. If he is listed among the hundreds of officials, where will the officials of the Jin Dynasty be placed? This is wrong with two things! Although Su Ling has one
The poetry is pretty good, but this time there are all the famous people and great talents in the world. The Jin Dynasty has hidden dragons and crouching tigers. How can he elevate his status with a poem? Doesn't this make the world's talented people shudder?
This is three things wrong!"
After Kong Hechen said this, his voice already had a hint of excitement and said: "There are three things wrong with this. I would like to ask your Majesty to let Su Ling return to where he should be sitting!"
Xiao Yuanche's eyes turned cold and he stared at Kong Hechen with an ugly look on his face.
Su Ling didn't take it seriously. He really didn't care about sitting so close to the front. He felt very uncomfortable sitting in the same place with these rich and powerful people. He might as well go back and eat two yuan more for free.
The shortbread is real.
At this moment, two more courtiers in the front row walked out, knelt in front of the steps, and played loudly.
"The minister Nong Wuyou seconded the proposal!"
"Duan Daxia, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, seconded the proposal!"
The Qing faction took the lead in attacking. How could the people on Xiao Yuanche's side just sit back and watch?
Guo Baiyi, Xia Yuanrang, Cheng Gongjun, Zhang Shiyou and others all came out and said loudly: "I think Sikong's words are reasonable, and I hope that the Holy Spirit will grant you permission!"
Seeing that the two families were at odds with each other, another war of words was inevitable.
Kong Hechen had some calculations in his mind, and suddenly said loudly: "If you are like a saint, you will really praise Su Ling. You think that Su Ling has a great reputation and should be seated at the front. I also have a merciless request."
Liu Duan looked helpless and said: "Kong Qing tries to say something."
Both parties are not easy to mess with. One is Sikong, who has all the power in the government, and the other is the person he relies on to win over with all his strength.
Please start your performance, what can I do...
Kong Hechen seemed to look at Shen Jizhou who was sitting quietly next to Xiao Yuanche with deep meaning, and then said word by word: "I heard that the son of the general, Shen Kun, is famous all over Bohai Prefecture. If the emperor loves talents, he should
I ordered Shen Kun to come and sit in front of me to show that the Holy One will treat everyone equally!"
Shen Jizhou was originally happy to watch the excitement. He was a faction of his own, and he was happy that the two factions were fighting to the death.
But Kong Hechen's words were obviously to stand up for him, but in fact he wanted Shen Jizhou to get involved. And if he was really involved, he could only speak for Kong Hechen.
How could Shen Jizhou not know what Kong Hechen's wishful thinking was? He just snorted and took back Kong Hechen's words. He sat on his seat and said indifferently: "Master Kong really loves my incompetent son. He is so kind."
How can he be ranked above the most learned people in the world in terms of ability? I really can't afford it. Let him sit where he should be and learn with humility!"
With his words, not only did he not appreciate Kong Hechen's affection, but he also stepped on Su Ling's feet, with a hint of ridicule that Su Ling did not overestimate his own capabilities.
Su Ling secretly thought, I said you are a sage, so it doesn't matter what others say. When will it be your turn to speak, a hypocrite.
I really thought it would be impossible for my young master to be trampled on casually. I can't bear it, but my uncle can't bear it!
Before Xiao Yuanche could speak, Su Ling suddenly sneered.
He stomped down the steps, walked to Kong Hechen, gave him a toothy smile and said: "Master Kong, do you think my Su Ling's "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" can only be called good? It seems that Master Kong can
If you can do better, why not go up to the Longhuang Tower now and write a poem so that I can see Master Kong’s talent?”
Kong Hechen was stunned. He really couldn't write such a famous piece. He couldn't accept this.
Seeing that he was silent, Su Ling suddenly smiled and said: "I sincerely ask for advice. Since Mr. Kong doesn't want to come out... I see that you still have some room here. Why don't Mr. Kong move to the side?"
Move, Master Kong and I sit together so that we can discuss and learn in private..."
Su Ling deliberately referred to "going on stage" as "going out". He expected that Kong Hechen, an old boy, did not know the profound meaning of this word.
Kong Hechen could only snort angrily.
Seeing that he was deflated, Su Ling walked up a few more steps and came to Shen Jizhou. He also smiled and said: "General Shen, do you think that Su can't position himself correctly? Then I will also dare to ask the general to come to him." Step down one position. Although you are a general, you have lived in a remote and cold place for a long time. How can you sit with Lord Sikong who has lived in the center for a long time... Oh, by the way, the word "bitter cold" was spoken by General Shen himself. What I said is correct!"
With a smile on his face, Xiao Yuanche secretly thought that in a war of words, these two people would not be Su Ling's opponent even if they were tied together.
Sure enough, Shen Jizhou's anger rose sharply, but in order to save the face of his family, he had no choice but to remain silent.
Seeing that the matter had reached a stalemate, the old eunuch Qi Shouzhai hurriedly winked at the CEO on the Longhuang stage, which meant, this poetry-relegated immortal, please stop sitting there as if you were on rock. You also drank the royal wine, always. Say something.
On the Longhuang stage, Li Zhibai silently watched the arguments among these families, and felt sad in his heart.
Which of the important ministers of the Jin Dynasty really cares about the Jin Dynasty? Aren't they all doing it for their own interests?
There was a trace of sadness in his heart.
But as for the emperor today, what he thinks in his heart is really what he just said to his ministers, ministers and talented people in the world.
The more he thought about it, the more bitter he felt, and the more he regretted coming to Longtai.
However, he couldn't turn a blind eye to Qi Shizhai who was about to look at him sideways and his eyes would pop out. He smiled bitterly in his heart and stood up. He said loudly: "Everyone, everyone! Since I have been entrusted by the Holy One to hold the Emperor's Sword, As the CEO of this poetry meeting, how about you listen to what I have to say?"
Su Ling and everyone stopped arguing and looked up at Li Zhibai, the highest-ranking person on Longhuang Stage.
Li Zhibai calmed down and said loudly: "Su Ling's name and talents are obvious to all, and the song "Spring River Flowers and Moonlight Night" is even more wonderful. Even I, Li Zhibai, was amazed by it. There is no doubt about this!"
As soon as he said these words, Liu Duan's face became even more ugly. He glanced at Qi Shizhai, which means, let's see who the talents you recommended to me are talking to!
Xiao Yuanche was also a little surprised, looking at Li Zhibai high up with burning eyes.
Li Zhibai changed the topic and said: "However, no matter what good poems Su Ling has written, or how exquisite articles he has written, they all represent the past. Today's Longhuang Poetry Society is truly a place where talented people all over the world can show off their poetry and calligraphy. time, so I thought that I would let Su Ling sit high up, using the Longhuang Terrace as a touchstone. If he could really dominate the audience, he could still afford to sit in this position. If he couldn't do it, Even if he loses to anyone, the Holy One will punish him for being ignorant and ignorant, and for deceiving the world and stealing his reputation! I don’t know what the Holy One will do!”
Liu Duan then laughed as if he had taken a betel nut-smoothing pill, and agreed: "What Judge Li said is true, so be it!"
After Su Ling heard this, he finally understood that it turned out that Li Zhibai was the one who was really difficult to deal with. Even if he had the blessing of later generations' poems, he had to deal with it carefully since it was this ancestor who proposed the topic.
If you are careless, commit the crime of deceiving the world and stealing your reputation, you will be deceived by deceiving the emperor.
Su Ling was secretly thinking about it.
Liu Duan then said: "Come on, set up a seat for Su Ling on the steps behind Sikong, and display and entertain him just like Sikong!"
Xiao Huang's door had already answered, and soon the table, chairs, wine and fruits on the table were all ready.
Su Ling could only glance at Xiao Yuanche.
Xiao Yuanche came over and patted Su Ling on the shoulder and said, "Just sit down!"
After Su Ling sat down, Xiao Yuanche and the ministers also sat down.
Only then did Liu Duan pick up the majesty of the emperor and said loudly: "Longhuang Poetry Society begins now!"
Dangdangdang——
Three jade bells rang.
The Longhuang Poetry Society officially kicked off.
Just after the bell sounded, I saw a person standing on the steps of the descendants of the aristocratic family. He tossed his clothes and waited proudly on the first floor of Longhuang Terrace.
Everyone looked up.
Shen Jizhou had an unexpected look on his face. He was holding a glass of wine in his hand, but he actually forgot to put the wine in his mouth.
Without him, this person is none other than his second son - Shen Kun.
Su Ling also didn't expect that Shen Jizhou's second son, Shen Kun, would be the first to board the Longhuang Platform.
However, he was modest and only climbed to the first floor of Longhuang Tower.
Su Ling secretly thought, I'm a good boy, do you want to play such a big game from the beginning?
