Being able to speak the truth after drinking can also test whether one has real talent and learning.
Huang Liangyi really worked hard for today's assessment.
The day before yesterday, nearly a thousand scholars were awarded the title of Confucian scholar for the honor of Fei Jin. The city was full of uproar and uproar. Then Huang Liangyi was summoned by Zhu Sheng to the palace to talk.
During the conversation, Zhu Sheng affirmed Huang Liangyi's work performance and achievements in recent years, and then expressed emotion seemingly inadvertently. The country has hundreds of millions of people and hundreds of thousands of Confucian scholars, but there are only fifteen great Confucian scholars.
The number of talents is comparable to the number of great scholars in a small place like Shushan. The reason is that the previous emperors did not pay enough attention to cultural and educational work. I want to take this as a warning and ask Huang Liangyi and other great scholars to help.
Work together to develop the cultural undertakings of the country and the dynasty.
This can no longer be regarded as a hint, it is simply a naked explicit statement.
Da Ru's team needs to be expanded, it's up to you.
Since the day before yesterday, Huang Liangyi's disciples have been coming to visit him to speak out about Rong Fei Jin's appointment as a great scholar.
Twenty years ago, Huang Liangyi succeeded his mentor who retired and returned to his hometown as the Imperial Confucian priest, becoming the fourteenth great Confucian in the dynasty.
On the same day, Fang Datong, who was ranked second in the scientific examination of the same session, became the fifteenth great Confucian in the dynasty.
At that time, there were only nine great scholars still alive on Shushan.
Now twenty years have passed, and there are still fifteen great Confucians in the country. Although the body and spirit of the great Confucians are currently relatively healthy, after all, they are all in their sixties. In these seventy years, no one can tell how far they can go.
It’s hard to say.
On the other hand, Shushan today is full of talents and has great potential to overtake it.
Kyoto City and Shushan have been arguing for hundreds of years over who is the orthodox Confucian.
Shushan: I am the holy place in the hearts of scholars all over the world.
Guochao: I have more scholars than you!
Shushan: I have thousands of years of historical heritage.
Guochao: I have more scholars than you!
Shushan: The foundation of my collection is vast, and the name Shushan is by no means unfounded.
Guochao: I have more scholars than you!
Shushan: You...you...just wait for me.
The hooligans are not to be feared, but the hooligans are literate. Relying on this shameless energy, Guochao can always slightly dominate the debate over who is the orthodox Confucian.
But now this energy is about to be exhausted. If a certain great scholar goes west that day, the advantage of the country will be gone.Z.br
As the leader of Confucianism in the country, Huang Liangyi was anxious! He was getting angry! His hair was falling out in handfuls!
Twenty years ago when I was appointed as the minister of wine in the Imperial Academy, the imperial dynasty had never produced a great Confucian. This is dereliction of duty! This is incompetence!
So when Rong Fei was reciting poems in the Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower like a rainstorm, a caring disciple had already knocked on Huang Liangyi's door.
Huang Liangyi was awakened from his sleep. When he read the first song "Silent Night Thoughts" in a daze, his old body was shocked and he woke up instantly. Then the second song "Looking at the Dongting" made him feel chilly.
.
Then came the third and fourth songs...
Every time Rong Fei wrote a new poem in the Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower, Huang Liangyi's disciples would copy it and send someone to quickly deliver it to Huang Liangyi.
When Huang Liangyi finished reading the last chapter of "The Story of Yueyang Tower", he was already in tears. He kept chanting, "Be worried about the world's worries first, and be happy after the world's happiness." Poor God, there is a successor to Dayan's literary world!
At that time, Huang Liangyi had already concluded that Rong Fei had the appearance of a great Confucian.
But then on the second day, the rumor that Rong was not a deceitful person but a shameless poetry thief became rampant.
The reason is naturally that the era names, places, characters, scenery, etc. mentioned in those poems and articles do not exist in the world. Moreover, Rong Fei has not yet reached the crown, and it is obviously contrary to common sense to be able to control dozens of poetry styles at such an age.
It can't be explained simply by a genius monster.
At this time, Huang Liangyi had calmed down from the shock, shock, and ecstasy. After hearing these questioning remarks, he carefully
After thinking about it carefully, I think it makes sense.
But less than half a day later, new news came. The poems Rong Fei recited were all from his compilation, and the unheard-of era names, places, characters, etc. were all from those currently known.
There are two full-length works, namely "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "The Song Dynasty", and two short works, "The Butterfly Lovers" and "The Beacon Fire Play of the Princes".
At the end of ancient times, hundreds of schools of thought contended. Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Dharma, military, etc. all originated from that period. Among them, there was a branch of Confucianism, which was called a family.
Thousands of years have passed, and only a few of the hundreds of families that once existed have been wiped out. However, the families that have never been famous have been passed down to this day. Some down-and-out scholars who failed to pass the imperial examinations repeatedly used this as a means of making a living.
The miscellaneous stories, romances, love stories between men and women that are quite popular in the market today were all written by the family. It’s just that no one calls them family anymore.
It turns out that Rong Fei actually comes from the same family lineage, which makes sense.
The family has been criticized by other schools of thought for being knowledgeable but not specialized, and being miscellaneous but not refined, but they have never thought of a genius like Rong Fei who is both knowledgeable and sophisticated.
Confucianism is a branch of Confucianism, so Na Rongfei can naturally be considered a disciple of Confucianism.
At this time, some of the Confucian scholars in Kyoto worshiped and supported Rongfei, while others questioned and insulted him. There were also many who took a wait-and-see attitude and decided to wait for the official explanation before making a statement.
Therefore, Huang Liangyi found Fang Datong and Gao Bin, who were close friends, and after some discussion, they decided on today's assessment called a banquet.
The reason why all the great scholars behaved wildly and uninhibitedly today was just to lower Rong Fei's vigilance, so that they could get Rong Fei drunk and then conduct the assessment.
Aren't there many people who doubt that Rong Fei is a literary copyist and a poetry thief?
Then see the truth after drinking.
Rong Fei was really drunk.
But it was the kind of drunk where I felt nauseous and felt like vomiting, my whole body felt hot, my hands and feet were weak, and I couldn't speak clearly, but my mind was clearer than usual.
Rong Fei noticed the back and forth between Huang Liangyi, Fang Datong, and Gao Bin. When he heard Fang Datong and Gao Bin singing and singing, he knew that this was the beginning of his own assessment.
Before coming to Wuxieju, Rong Fei was still a little uneasy. After all, he was going to face fifteen highly respected and knowledgeable scholars. How could he hide from their eyes with just two or three drops of ink in his stomach?
I was thinking about how to deal with it all the way, but in the end I just came up with a solution that was not a solution.
When I was a kid, I met an old Taoist in front of my house...
I just make up lies. As for whether the great Confucians believe it or not, Rong Fei has nothing to do with it.
But who would have expected that the assessment scene was not as serious, tense and depressing as expected. Instead, as soon as they met, the great scholars began to take turns to drink.
This made Rong Fei overjoyed and it was exactly what he wanted.
Compared with the old Taoist priests I met when I was a child, it seems more reasonable to get inspired after drinking and start talking nonsense.
So he refused to accept anyone who came, and he was definitely not like the scoundrels of a certain prince surnamed Duan and a gang leader surnamed Qiao, who used shameless tricks like forcing the wine out of the body.
Just drink it for real, never cheat.
"It's true that Uncle Fencheng is so talented in poetry that it puts us to shame. Today is the perfect time for us to meet, so why not write a poem on the spot for us to appreciate it."
Gao Bin suggested loudly.
"How about taking this scene as the title?"
Fang Datong immediately hit the snake and followed it with a stick, not giving Rong Fei a chance to refuse.
"Okay, okay!"
All the great scholars cheered and responded.
"Hahaha, it's interesting, come on, come here, Uncle Fencheng, I'll grind it for you myself."
Huang Liangyi pulled Rong Fei towards the pavilion on the side.
"Well... okay, junior, it's better to be respectful than to obey..."
Rong Fei's eyes were blurry, his steps were erratic, he followed Huang Liangyi and others into the pavilion, and he agreed while burping from wine.
Huang Liangyi grinded the ink, Fang Datong laid out the paper, and Gao Bin lit the incense. The three great scholars were busy serving, and Zhu Sheng was afraid that even Zhu Sheng would not be able to enjoy such a grand ceremony.
Huang Liangyi soon researched the ink, selected a wolf-hair pen, soaked it with ink and handed it to Rong Fei.
Well...this is the theme of this situation...
Rong Fei held the brush and pondered.
The fifteen great scholars all crowded into the pavilion, eagerly waiting to see with their own eyes how this talented monster composed poetry.
Pavilion...drinking...a bunch of bad old men...
Haha, there is really an article that is suitable for the occasion.
Rong Fei took up his pen and wrote four characters on the paper crookedly - The Drunkard Pavilion!
"The Story of Yueyang Tower" has been published, and it is natural that the equally famous "The Story of the Drunken Old Man's Pavilion" should be released for a breather.
Earlier, a group of aggressive uninvited guests came to Wuxieju.
"Stop! Don't let anyone else come near."
"Hmph! Aren't you questioning Mr. Rong's talent? Why are you here to join in the fun?"
Hundreds of Rong Fei's supporters stopped the uninvited guest and questioned him sternly.
"No, no! We are here just to witness how the thief Rong Fei was exposed by the great scholars, and we are here to beat up the drowned dog, hahaha."
Fan Jian, who had just suffered a bad loss the night before, replied arrogantly.
"This Wuxie Residence is not a royal forbidden area. If you can come, of course we can come too. Besides, a gentleman is magnanimous and a villain is always concerned. If Rong Fei has real talent and knowledge, why should he care about whether others doubt him or not."
Ren Jinhan on the side shook his folding fan and said.
The scholar opposite was about to refute, when suddenly someone shouted loudly on the wall of Wuxieju.
"Mr. Rong is drunk!"
ah?
Everyone was suddenly shocked.
"The assessment has begun!"
Everyone's hearts immediately became anxious again.
"Masters, this is a wonderful move. Now Rong Fei's dog thief has nowhere to hide, hahaha."
Fan Jian put his palms together and laughed.
"Now that the test question has come out, I will compose a poem based on this situation."
The latest progress was passed on orally from the courtyard in the middle of Wuxie Residence, and was finally announced by the person standing on the wall with the loudest voice.
The scholars outside all lowered their heads and frowned after hearing this, thinking hard about where they would start to compose a poem if they were on the spot.
This kind of topic seems broad, but in fact it is extremely difficult to grasp the key points. It is not difficult to write a poem, but the difficulty is to be able to meet the strict requirements of fifteen great scholars at the same time. It must be stunning and show talent and learning.
.
Otherwise, how can one be called a great Confucian?
