Chapter 155: If the cross talk can't be done, then curse people
Chapter 155: If the cross talk fails, then you will curse.
He had a lot of experience in disparaging others. Li You repeated his old tricks and said to Shen Tongzhi: "I heard that Mr. Shen did a good job in Shiwen. The lower official is a little talented but not proficient in it. Last year, he also did the same thing. Sage Knowledge wrote an article and presented it to Lu Shangshu who returned to our county to recuperate for reading. Mr. Lu scolded him that this thing could only win the top three or two hundred at most!"
The two hundred people in the top three are obviously mocking Shen Tongzhi. At this time, someone needs to ask "How did you write it?" so that Li You can use it to continue talking from the beginning to shake off the burden.
Unfortunately, to Mr. Li's dismay, no one in the audience came forward to help, and he was stuck. He immediately felt that the situation today was different from the past.
Wen Zhixian of Wu County suddenly interrupted: "Lu Shangshu? Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of War?"
Li You nodded expectantly and said, "Not bad."
As a result, Wenzhi County returned to silence, making Li You's wish come true.
Shen Tongzhi then laughed and said: "Master Li, do you want to learn from the saints? You don't have to ask Lu Shangshu, everyone here can be your teacher."
Li Guan finally understood why it was more difficult to say good stand-up comedy than counterpart, and it was inconvenient to not have the right compliments. At this time, something was not good, and he was in trouble, and the previous routines were useless.
What a careless move! I forgot for a while that he was completely isolated at the moment, with no words to help, no support and laughter to enhance the atmosphere, and he would not be able to achieve the desired effect like in the past.
After much deliberation, since cross talk can't be done, Li You feels that the only solution now is to imitate shrews and curse people... If you compare talking about classics, you will definitely not be able to compare with them, so let's compare with swearing. Only the magic of shrews and scolding people is the only one. No need for friendly forces, no need for spectators, not even opponents.
Fortunately, on the first day he entered the officialdom, he had guessed that this kind of thing would happen and prepared a bunch of curse poems and songs in advance. At that moment, Li You suddenly laughed and said: "If you want to learn from Shen Tongzhi, forget it. There is a Xiaoling, specializes in Tongzhi knowledge."
As he spoke, he half chanted and half sung: "We all know the same thing, but the worst is not the same. Copying contemporary articles is as rotten as mud. The country's original plan is to seek talents, but who knows it turns into a trick to deceive others. Three sentences carry the topic, two sentences break the topic, and the tail ends. Shaking his head, he said that he was a senior disciple of the Holy Sect. Do you know what the Three Links and the Four Histories are? Which dynasty emperors were the Han ancestors and Tang Zong? He put a sermon on his desk and bought new sharp tools in the store. He read it with shoulder-to-shoulder shoulders and squabbled. Sigh, what’s the taste of chewing sugarcane bagasse again and again? It’s a waste of time and a coma for a lifetime. If you teach him to deceive high-ranking officials, it will be bad luck for the people and the court!”
Sure enough, it had the same effect as a shrew scolding the street. Shen Tongzhi, who was personally attacked, said angrily: "Vicious words! Despicable and shameless!"
Li Tuiguan sneered and said nothing. It's good to be in the mood. I'm afraid you won't be in the mood.
The sound of hurried footsteps came, and Wang Zhifu walked into the room and said with surprise: "I heard that Mr. Li, who has not written for a long time, has created new words? I think it will be sung all over Gusu. Today is really a grand event, but it is a pity that I have not done so. If you hear it, please repeat it and listen."
This is quite helpful, Li You thought to himself.
"Li Tuiguan is too arrogant for daring to criticize the country's system with slang and nonsense!" Shi Shenzheng couldn't help but reprimanded him.
Anyway, his face was already torn. Li You threw his head up and laughed after hitting the snake and smashing the broken jar on the stick. He said with all his madness: "I am not good at making empty talk as an official. I love to scold pedantic scholars. I wrote poems and songs to improve my business. I am negative." Nineteen years of being famous!"
Shen Tongzhi also planned to present the facts and reason, "Zhiyi represents the sages and sages, and the way is revealed through writing, which is not comparable to the flashy poetry and poetry. The main purpose is to understand and purify, and to invent the purpose of the scriptures is enough to guide scholars to practice, and the peace of the world is due to this." "
Only a fool is arguing with you. I just want to scold you for playing. Li You then recited a poem and replied: "You can do it well, and he can do it too. No one wants to eat swans. It should be noted that if you have little practical knowledge in craftsmanship, your articles are nonsense. Many. I have been studying hard, and the spring flowers and autumn moon are gradually passing away. I asked Shen Tongzhi of Wujun with a smile, can he govern the city with the classics and principles?"
Eating swans means little practical learning and a lot of nonsense... Shen Tongzhi was scolded by Li You until he vomited blood, but Li You still cursed in verse, trying his best to show off his talent, and he was very unruly. In contrast, he could say anything It seems too mediocre and lackluster.
But if he wanted to retaliate with the other person's method, how could he have the quick wit to come up with emergency words? Although there are some spare verses on weekdays, most of them are romantic, how could he prepare for such an occasion.
Shen Tongzhi held it in for a long time and uttered: "In today's world, articles are important, so why bother talking about the Han and Tang Dynasties?"
The look of disdain in Li You's eyes was clearly visible, and he didn't even bother to say a single extra word. He started with another poem: "You have to rely on your own opinions, and hundreds of schools of thought have different opinions. Have you ever seen a blind person watching a play? They all follow human nature." "This is to scold Shen Tongzhi for being blind, having no real opinion, and only following what others say.
Shen Tongzhi was not a very articulate person, so he was so angry that he was speechless. He really didn't know what to say, so he could only look around to find someone to help him.
The scene immediately became cold, and no one stood up for Shen Tongzhi. They were probably frightened by Li You's unscrupulousness.
Except for Wang Zhifu, most of the people here just took office this month. Although they have heard about Li You's masterpieces, they have never seen Li You's poetry skills and cunning and mean words. Now Li You is so impressive that he speaks out every time he opens his mouth. A poem, moreover, it is so apt that it touches people's hearts and lungs.
They all thought in unison that the so-called Mr. Tanhua was really crooked, otherwise how could he stand out in Suzhou Prefecture, where the literary style was flourishing. Those who wanted to help Shen Tongzhi denounce Li Tuiguan also shut up.
If you don't have the ability to compose poems casually, wouldn't it make you look inferior to Mr. Li at first? It's far worse than vicious or arrogant in my own estimation.
Secondly, Li Tuiguan is a local celebrity, and his poems and tunes are very popular in the market. Seeing that Shen Tongzhi has been scolded like this, it is not worth it if he is also scolded and spreads in the streets. Losing his reputation is not worth it. .
In the final analysis, Li Tuiguan's reasoning is not wrong. Eight-legged writing has been used for more than 300 years, and now it has indeed become a fictitious and misused thing. Everyone knows this, and there are many refutations of him. Feeling somewhat guilty.
In fact, the disparity between Li You and Shen Tongzhi's quarrel lies in the fact that Li You could unscrupulously criticize Shen Tongzhi for being able to write stereotypes, but it was useless, but Shen Tongzhi could not say that being able to write poetry was not a talent.
It has to be said that Li You succeeded again in defeating ten guilds with one effort.
Seeing that the friendly forces had taken the initiative, the prefect Wang finally dared to speak out, "There are Fengya odes in the Spring and Autumn Period, Li Sao in the Warring States period, Taishi Ji written by Xiangru in the Han Dynasty, Book of Two Kings in the Jin Dynasty, Taibai Shaoling's poems in the Tang Dynasty, and Dongpo Ci in the Song Dynasty. , are all masterpieces. Now that we, the glorious Ming Dynasty, have inherited the Chinese Taoism, how can we compare with it? Please tell me, is it possible that only eight-legged prose can be passed on to future generations?"
Don't you even look down on novels? There is a rare book called Jin Ping Mei Ci... Li You thought as he stood up with the idea of leaving it as soon as possible and said: "If you don't agree with each other, you won't work together. I'll take my leave!"
Everyone watched Li You walk out of the hall door with his head held high, and the verses he recited came to their ears: "Immortals and Buddhas have not yet come together in the vast world, and they only know how to sing unjustly alone in the night. The wind is full of tragic songs, and the mud is stained with bad luck." Nine out of ten people will look down upon you, and nothing will be of any use but pure water. Don’t worry about a poem and become a prophecy, or spring birds and autumn insects make their own noises.”
There is actually something better... Everyone in the hall looked at each other speechless for a moment. Li Bai's hundred poems about drinking wine is just a legend. Is it really possible to reach a similar level in reality? Fortunately, today it was Shen Tongzhi who ran into the south wall without knowing the depth. It's so good, so good.
There was still someone who could control Li Tuiguan... The next day, the prosecutor's office issued a reprimand to the government office and fined Li Tuiguan half a year's salary on the grounds that he "discussed the country's system unreasonably, insulted his colleagues, and was incompatible with official conduct."
"You deserve it." Mr. Huang gloated to Li You while he was drinking. "Chen Xundao was also a Jinshi, which is the most proud thing in his life. You just cursed the imperial examination. It's strange that he was so happy. If I don't punish you, who will punish you?"
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows clearly that this means that the matter ends here and there is no need to pursue further investigations.
