For a moment, Chen Xueli felt a little regretful and looked at the poem in a daze.
Didn’t everyone say that Yang Fan had weak knowledge and little experience, so it was impossible for him to write good poetry?
His Majesty Li Er did not have so many thoughts, and softly chanted:
“The moonlight shines on the lotus pond, creating purple smoke, and the pond is filled with lotus leaves and green fields.
The fragrance of lotus leaves spreads wherever the breeze passes, and the girl's shadow returns when she comes.
The birds are noisy, the bamboo branches are straight and jade is straight, the frogs are croaking and the green cover is round with white beads.
The path in the green mountains dispels worries and illnesses, and the dream recalls Xu Hui's first boat."
The song "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" is recited, making people feel immersed in the scene.
This is a seven-character poem describing the moonlight over a lotus pond. Who dares to say that the person who wrote such a poem has no life experience or knowledge reserves?
Huang Ben's face turned pale and he murmured at a loss for words.
A good poem can allow readers to understand the meaning contained in it and resonate with them.
The artistic conception of this poem can be seen from the intoxicated expressions of everyone.
There is no problem with the artistic conception, Huang Ben can only look for loopholes in the poem.
But after repeated explorations, I felt horrified.
Poetry comes from the heart, this is a consistent law.
But good poems must be polished and revised to contain wording and emotion, so that such poems can become famous throughout the ages!
But Huang Ben really couldn't find any fault with Yang Fan's poem.
The choice of words and sentences, the rhythm and the artistic conception are all excellent. Who dares to say that this poem is not good?
The most important thing is that Yang Fan had just been wrongfully accused of plagiarizing his "When Will the Bright Moon Come", and this guy immediately responded by writing a poem describing the moonlight. This was a slap in the face!
While everyone was immersed in the beautiful scenery in the poem, Yang Fan had already asked Princess Changle to remove the words.
The nib of the pen is lightly dipped in ink, and the pen is lifted up from the wrist to write quickly. Like a dragon flying in the garden and a phoenix dancing in the air, another word leaps onto the paper.
Everyone noticed that Yang Fan was writing quickly again, and were stunned for a moment. They all came forward to watch, and saw another song.
However, this is a poem.
His Majesty Li Er was so happy that he liked to watch Yang Fan slap him in the face.
Of course, as long as it doesn't hit him in the face!
As long as Yang Fan takes the lead, do you Jiangnan nobles still dare to deliberately embarrass me?
Don’t you Jiangnan aristocratic families say that Yang Fan has no experience or knowledge?
Look at this guy, here comes another song about the moon.
The meaning is obvious, it is written for those who say he plagiarized.
His Majesty Li Er instantly transformed into a tool man and happily read out the poem on the paper again.
"The moon shines dimly on the mountains, and the clouds are dark and sad. The source of immortality is hard to find, and the nine-layered gate of the Yaochi is hidden deep. Looking at the peaks in the distance, and hearing the fish playing in the water up close, there are many splashing words. The wind dances in the bamboo shadows, and the mist envelopes the mountains in darkness. .
The dust is like a dream, the moon is thousands of miles away, and I am angry at the sky. There is a darkness, where is the spring water passing through the mountain gate. A Zen heart is far away, all the infinite worldly connections are gone, and there are only lonely people in the empty valley. I ride on the clouds and smoke to pay homage to the moon."
Today happens to be the birthday of Guanyin, so another poem is printed with the moon.
The source of immortality is hard to find, and the Yaochi is hidden behind nine gates...
Isn't this just a description of the mood of people praying for the birth of Guanyin?
A Zen heart is sent far away, all the infinite worldly connections are gone, and there are still lonely people in the empty valley. I ride on the clouds and smoke to pay homage to the moon and the immortal...
Now everyone is in the other courtyard next to Caotang Temple. Isn't it the freedom and ease of "a Zen heart is far away, and all the infinite worldly connections are gone"?
We are all well-educated people here, so we naturally understand the artistic conception in the poems.
At this time, who dares to say that Yang Fan has low experience and little knowledge reserve?
Who dares to say that Yang Fan has nothing to do with his studies and has no skills without learning?
How many people in this world can use the moon as the title and write such vivid and immersive poems?
Yang Fan quickly created a poem with a profound meaning, practicality, and thought-provoking meaning!
Didn’t you just think that without knowledge reserves, you can’t write good works? What’s going on?
Looking at the two paintings on the desk, His Majesty Li Er's eyes glowed with golden light. He twirled his beard and nodded gently, and told Princess Changle: "Li Zhi, take these two paintings away from your father, frame them and send them to the imperial study."
.”
Whether it was the stunning seven-character poem or the poem expressing love for the moon, His Majesty Li Er loved them all very much.
What's more important is that the fonts of these two poems are both thin and fine.
As a lover of calligraphy, His Majesty Li Er would certainly not give up the good opportunity to copy it, let alone take it as his own without considering whether Yang Fan agreed or not.
Of course, no matter how stupid Yang Fan is, he would not dare to say no.
On the contrary, it must be shown that this is his supreme glory.
There is no way, His Majesty Li Er, this emperor is a very stinking fart.
Because in the emperor's view, everything in the world belongs to him, and it is Yang Fan's honor to read these poems.
Although Yang Fan has a few tricks up his sleeve, he is not stupid and knows when to be hard and when to be soft.
When dealing with this emperor, you have to pay attention to art. When it comes to matters of principle, you can go against Li Er.
But some things are insignificant, flatter him when he needs to, and make him feel comfortable. This is the way for a monarch and his ministers to get along with each other.
Princess Changle stepped forward, removed the two words, and carefully put them aside.
At this time, the ink is not dry yet and cannot be put away. It would be a pity if it gets stained accidentally.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Fan composed a poem, and all of them were moon chanting poems with far-reaching meanings and emotions.
Who dares to say that Yang Fan is ignorant and has little knowledge reserve?
Huang Ben looked miserable and his body was trembling slightly.
I tried my best to think about it, trying to find some excuses, but the more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, and cold sweat kept breaking out.
At a loss, Huang Ben could only look at Xu Jingzong as if asking for help.
But Xu Jingzong's heart was also in turmoil at this time.
At a young age, Yang Fan certainly does not have much knowledge, and his experience and insights are not very deep.
How come he has such profound research on poetry? He obviously uses the moon to express his emotions and express his ambitions.
But it is simply incredible that each capital can be depicted with such exquisite artistic conception!
Could it be that Yang Fan is really a person born with knowledge?
Xu Jingzong really didn't expect that Yang Fan's way of slapping him in the face was so unique.
Looking at Xu Jingzong, Huang Bi and Yang Fan who looked horrified but speechless, they smiled.
After scanning for a week, Yang Fan said calmly: "I wonder if Mr. Xu still thinks that I am a plagiarist? Should you give me an explanation?"
This means that I, Yang Fan, do not need to use despicable means such as plagiarism to improve my reputation and status.
Because, there is no need at all.
Hearing Yang Fan's cynicism, Xu Jingzong looked angry.
If His Majesty Li Er hadn't been watching from the side, he would have really wanted to step forward and fight Yang Fan.
In this society that pays great attention to superiority and inferiority and has a strict hierarchy, even if Yang Fan is very talented, he is still a latecomer.
Xu Jingzong, as a scholar who has long been famous among scholars, no matter how high Yang Fan's status is and how good his reasons are, he must still respect seniors like Xu Jingzong.
It is too frivolous to ask for an explanation so blatantly.
If a rigid person like Wei Zheng were here, he would probably reprimand Yang Fan.
However, although Xu Jingzong could not reveal his anger at this time, he could only dare to be angry and dare not speak out.
After all, it was Huang Ben and others who targeted Yang Fan in the first place!
Of course, Xu Jingzong was more confused in his heart.
Without experience and accumulation of knowledge, you cannot write good works. This is common sense.
Yang Fan was so young and had experienced so many things, how could he get the poems just right?
Even if Xu Jing is beaten to death, it is impossible to believe that Yang Fan has such abilities.
However, Yang Fan just wrote it, which is really surprising.
As for Huang Ben, his whole body was trembling as Yang Fan looked at him lightly.
Obviously, Yang Fan just wanted to use these two poems to refute his accusation of plagiarism.
The meaning is obvious. If I plagiarize your poems, then you should also try to make two poems.
If not, then you, Huang Ben, are shamelessly accusing others of plagiarism.
Being stared at by everyone with strange eyes, Huang Ben felt cold all over and fell into despair.
He also prepared a few poems, but unfortunately these poems are far from Yang Fan's.
If he took it out, wouldn't it expose his level even more?
At this time, Huang Ben gritted his teeth and wished he could eat Yang Fan alive.
He really couldn't imagine how a young boy like Yang Fan could write such brilliant poems casually.
How could he reach such a state at such a young age and have such a profound understanding of life?
Huang Ben's eyes were red and he was on the verge of collapse!
This was all arranged by his father-in-law Xu Jingzong, and originally everything went as normal as they thought.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse and the boat capsized in the gutter. Who could he ask to reason with?
If he was found to be jealous of talents and deliberately wronged others, then Huang Ben would never want to hang out among scholars again!
It will be even more impossible to enter the officialdom in the future.
How could His Majesty Li Er allow a person with a ruined reputation to serve as an official?
Huang Ben could only look at Xu Jingzong helplessly, pinning his hopes on this father-in-law.
Xu Jingzong looked at Huang Bi, whose face was ashen, and then at Yang Fan, who was holding the pearl of wisdom. How great it would be if the two of them switched positions!
The jealousy in Xu Jingzong's heart was going crazy!
I really don’t know where this guy got so many classic poems?
Xu Jingzong was sure that this could never have been written by Yang Fan himself!
Although there is such speculation, it is a pity that no evidence can be found!
Therefore, Xu Jingzong's first reaction was that Yang Fan had already prepared and asked someone to write a few poems in advance to deal with the crisis.
He rolled his eyes, wanting to cause Yang Fan more trouble.
Since most of the people at the scene were biased towards Yang Fan, if he continued to argue forcefully, he would immediately make the emperor unhappy.
It seems that the only way to move this topic is to move it over.
Xu Jingzong's mind was spinning rapidly, he was checking his eyes slightly, and kept winking at Chen Xueli, hoping that this Jiangnan scholar could help him.
At this time, Chen Xueli was really confused inside.
These Jiangnan literati traveled thousands of miles to send people's heads, stretched out their faces and patted them, which really hurt their faces.
It can be said that Chen Xueli was very embarrassed this time!
But as a great Confucian, Chen Xueli had his own persistence.
Now that I know I was wrong, of course I can't embarrass myself again.
As a result, Chen Xueli directly ignored Xu Jingzong's hint.
With no other choice, Xu Jingzong could only smile awkwardly, glance at Huang Bi with a wink, and then said to Yang Fan bravely: "The county magistrate Wannian is so stunningly beautiful, and Xu is so impressed that he fell in admiration."
"There's just one thing Xu is confused about. Since Wannian County Duke's poem "When Will the Bright Moon Come" was not plagiarized, how could this poem have spread to Jiangnan in just a few hours?"
"Chang'an and Jiangnan are thousands of miles apart. It's impossible for this poem to fly there, right? Since we can't find out the reason, I think this matter has been revealed. What does the county official think?"
As soon as these words came out, it actually showed that he was soft to Yang Fan, and at the same time he asked Huang Ben to be soft to Yang Fan.
It means that anyway, Huang Ben's dispute with you, Yang Fan, over the ownership of this poem is a confusing matter.
Since we can't figure it out, we won't doubt anyone and just let it go.
But when Huang Ben saw the look in Xu Jingzong's eyes, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind. In a moment of bliss, he "understood" Xu Jingzong's thoughts!
He immediately cupped his hands and said with a grin: "Yang Fan, Mr. Xu is right. We wrote this poem on the same day, the difference is only a few hours."
"Since it is impossible for this poem to fly from Chang'an to Jiangnan within a few hours, then who can tell who has plagiarized whom?"
"Seeing that you are quite talented and knowledgeable, I, sir, have a lot, so I won't worry about it too much. Let's just write this off, okay?"
"If not, even if Dali Temple comes to investigate, they still won't be able to find out the reason. What do you think?"
Huang Ben thought that Yang Fan could not find a reason to refute, so he spoke arrogantly.
But before Huang Ben finished speaking, Xu Jingzong covered his face with one hand and secretly cursed Huang Ben as a fool.
If you're embarrassed, it's embarrassing. What's the use of being soft?
Why pretend to be victorious when you give in? Isn’t this annoying?
Besides, everyone has a scale in their heart.
From the moment Yang Fan composed two excellent poems, the balance began to tilt in Yang Fan's favor!
Even now, Huang Ben is as proud as a peacock. Isn't he looking for death?
Sure enough, as soon as Huang Ben finished speaking, His Majesty Li Er turned dark: "You keep saying that Yang Fan plagiarized your words, but you can't provide any conclusive evidence."
"Yang Fan used two poems to defend himself, but you don't even dare to say a fart, and you still dare to speak so loudly? You simply don't know how to live or die, someone is here..."
"Pfft!" Before His Majesty Li Er could finish speaking, Huang Ben was so frightened that his legs softened and he immediately knelt on the ground and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, the common people have no intention of wronging the county magistrate Wannian. Please atone for your sins!"
Looking at the world, the emperor is heaven.
As the co-owner of the world, if you are determined to kill someone, it doesn’t matter whether you have the right or not!
If the emperor says you are guilty, you are guilty.
What's more, Huang Ben is indeed a bit messy.
Therefore, when His Majesty Li Er got angry, Huang Ben almost peed in fear!
At this time, Xu Jingzong also smiled bitterly.
Knowing that the emperor was angry, he must have no patience for Huang Ben and no good impression of the Jiangnan nobles.
Now Xu Jingzong really regrets that he wanted to express the dissatisfaction of the Jiangnan nobles with the emperor's decision by attacking Yang Fan.
As an official in the court, the benefits gained by the Jiangnan gentry did not have much to do with me.
More importantly, if this matter is not handled properly, the Jiangnan nobles will lose confidence in themselves.
Xu Jingzong now really feels like he has stolen the chicken but lost the rice.
If you can't be an official by yourself, why do you have to drag your future son-in-law into it?
It's better now. The emperor must have grudged himself in his heart.
But this is not His Majesty Li Er’s fault.
The Jiangnan nobles wanted to stop the emperor from reaching out to Jiangnan. They made trouble several times, and now they are using Yang Fan to put pressure. Any emperor would be furious.
If you are a poor fellow Taoist, you won't be able to control so much!
Thinking of this, Xu Jingzong bowed and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is wise and brave, and has a broad mind. Please forgive me for my innocent words. Although Huang Bi's words are inappropriate, he has no intention of questioning your Majesty..."
"In order for the Jiangnan gentry to thrive and prosper, Your Majesty implemented the benevolent policy. I bathed in the holy grace and raised my hands in approval..."
As soon as these words were spoken, it meant that the Jiangnan nobles had acquiesced in another failure.
In fact, Xu Jingzong was also helpless.
If he didn't express his position again, he was really afraid that His Majesty Li Er would go on a killing spree.
In any case, Huang Bi is not only his future son-in-law, but also a member of the Huang family, a wealthy family in Jiangnan.
If Huang Ben had any accidents due to his own reasons, it would be really hard to explain!
