Zhu Youshan's face was even more ugly, even more embarrassed than ever before. In this life, although he was born in a poor family, he has been able to make his way up smoothly by being good at dancing and working in camps.
But today, I lost all my face.
Zhu Youshan stared at Lin Feng, gritting his teeth, extremely angry, with an expression like a gambler's eyes red after losing.
He was unwilling to admit defeat.
Once he gives in, he's finished.
Returning to the Xia Kingdom as a loser will inevitably be hated by the emperor, and may even be spurned by the people in the Imperial College. Let alone a smooth career in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to even enter the official career.
So Zhu Youshan is not willing to admit defeat no matter what.
Zhu Youshan said in a deep voice: "Lin Feng, the competition between you and me just now was just about two poems. Although poetry, music, and poetry are important, they are small ways after all, not grand avenues."
"For a poet, poetry is just embellishment. Basically, he is still writing articles. He has to study knowledge and manage state affairs. So in order to prove your strength and prove that you are worthy of the name, you and I will compete again and write articles."
There were boos in the hall.
When the scholars looked at Zhu Youshan, there was deep contempt in their eyes.
Is this a scholar from the Xia Kingdom?
Regret again and again. Especially Yan Changge and Zhu Youshan were both so disappointing.
They are all scoundrels.
Zhu Youshan's face burned as he listened to the boos around him, as if he had been slapped dozens of times. But now, he has no choice because he cannot admit defeat. Even if he is criticized, he must challenge again.
Zhu Youshan widened his eyes and said, "Lin Feng, do you dare to gamble again?"
Lin Feng clicked his tongue and said, "Zhu Youshan, your current result is the result of flattery. Because you flatter Yan Wuji and the emperor of Xia, you want to be their lackey to deal with me, so you can only win but not lose." "
"Once defeated, you, this dog, will have no use value. When you return to Xia Kingdom, you will be spurned by Yan Wuji and hated by the emperor. You will be completely finished."
"So here you cannot have the normal mind of a scholar, and it is impossible to sit down and talk calmly."
"Everything is about profit first."
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "A person like you is not worthy of being the chief scholar of the Xia Kingdom's Imperial College. The Xia Kingdom's Imperial College is really harboring filth and evil, that's why you are allowed to be the chief."
Zhu Youshan's eyes were red and he said hysterically: "Do you dare to accept my challenge?"
Lin Feng said: "What are the conditions this time? Why should I agree to you if you don't have a heart condition?"
Zhu Youshan said: "If you win, I Zhu Youshan will be willing to be a slave."
Lin Feng sneered and said disdainfully: "You are such a flattering person with ulterior motives. If I accept you, I won't be able to sleep peacefully in the middle of the night. If you want to gamble again, you can. The old rules are still the same. Once you lose, kneel down first. Kneel down three times and kowtow nine times to apologize to the scholars of Da Qin. Then, take off your clothes, naked body, and run around Xianyang City."
brush!
I wish Youshan’s expression changed drastically.
Lin Feng is heart-breaking.
Once he failed, he took off his clothes and ran around Xianyang City, his reputation was completely ruined, and the Xia Kingdom could no longer tolerate him.
Zhu Youshan knew that such a bet was a ruthless one, but he was already a gambler on the edge of the cliff and could no longer retreat, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I agree."
Lin Feng said: "What kind of article should I write? Can you tell me?"
Zhu Youshan's eyes were sharp and he said in a deep voice: "This article, as a father, writes a family letter to teach his children how to study and behave. This is the main purpose. Let's see who can write the best. This time, you will go first."
Lin Feng sneered in his heart.
Zhu Youshan lost twice in a row, so he learned the lesson and asked him to write first.
Unfortunately, it is doomed to be in vain.
Lin Feng thought for a while and made up his mind. He looked at Zhu Youshan and said, "Zhu Youshan, if you really want me to come first, if I write, I'm afraid you will have to admit defeat?"
Zhu Youshan held his head high and said loudly, "Just write it, but is it possible that you, Lin Feng, are afraid?"
Lin Feng shook his head and sneered.
He picked up his pen and wrote three words.
"The Book of Commandments"
The three words drawn with iron and silver hooks penetrated the back of the paper. Xu Liuli read them out at the side, with a look of expectation in his wonderful eyes.
She was impressed by Lin Fengcai.
"The conduct of a gentleman is to cultivate one's character through tranquility, and to cultivate one's virtue through frugality. Without indifference, there is no clear ambition; without tranquility, there is no far-reaching goal. To learn, one must be still, and only one must learn. Without learning, one cannot broaden one's talents; without one's ambition, one cannot achieve success. study."
"If you are arrogant and arrogant, you will not be able to stimulate your energy, and if you are impetuous and impatient, you will not be able to cure your nature. Years go by with the times, and thoughts go with the sun. Then they become withered, and they are not able to take on the world. If they stay in the poor house with sadness, what will happen to them!"
As soon as Lin Feng finished writing, Xu Liuli finished reading. Even though she admired Lin Feng from the bottom of her heart, she was still shocked when she read this article.
“Without indifference, there is no clear ambition; without tranquility, there is no far-reaching goal.”
So well written.
Xu Liuli's wonderful eyes turned, and she became even more curious about Lin Feng.
There was a lot of discussion in the lobby.
Everyone looked at Lin Feng, their expressions changed drastically again, and they looked like they were in admiration.
Lin Feng's poetry writing was unrivaled.
Write an article that no one has ever seen. Nowadays, a "Book of Commandments" can be described as a sincere teaching, and it also reveals the philosophy of life.
Scholarship is like this.
The same goes for being a human being.
This article can be called a classic, enough to be passed down through the ages. Just like this, all the Qin scholars in Yuanyang Tower, as well as businessmen and scholars from other countries, were all surprised.
Everyone admired Lin Feng even more.
The look on Zhu Youshan's face was completely shocked, and there was no color left on his face.
thump!
Zhu Youshan's legs softened and he collapsed on the ground.
He lost.
Zhu Youshan has always been very conceited when it comes to talent and learning, thinking that he is talented and can even easily suppress Lin Feng. Zhu Youshan did not expect that Lin Feng would be so powerful. A book of commandments contained great principles and was exquisite.
He cannot write such an article.
"Zhu Youshan, kneel down and apologize."
Suddenly, there was another shouting sound.
This voice broke through the discussion and immediately attracted the attention of countless people. All the Da Qin scholars became excited.
"Zhu Youshan, kneel down and apologize."
"Zhu Youshan, kneel down and apologize."
"Zhu Youshan, kneel down and apologize."
More and more shouts echoed in the lobby, and more and more people were shouting. All the Da Qin scholars who were humiliated by Zhu Youshan shouted excitedly.
The noisy voices gradually gathered together to form a uniform shout.
The sound echoed in Yuanyang Tower.
Ying Jiuxiao looked at such a scene, with a look of emotion on his face, and said seriously: "Wang Qing, this guy Lin Feng is really unpredictable. You always thought that he was already very good. But suddenly you found that he could be even better. excellent."
Wang Tang also looked in agreement and said with emotion: "Your Majesty, in the past, we went there in person just because of Lin Feng's identity, several poems written by him, and his design of a barrel cart to solve the drought problem. visit."
"At that time, His Majesty met Lin Feng and asked Lin Feng many questions, but he solved them one by one, which shows his wisdom."
"It's just that many of the words are still just talk on paper. How Lin Feng actually does it will not be known until he implements it. Later, there was the matter of Yan Changge, and now Xifengzui is about to kick off my Daqin's money-making prelude."
"This "Book of Commandments" allows people to see Lin Feng's wisdom."
"Sexuality and arrogance cannot stimulate the spirit, and impatience cannot cure the nature. I quite agree with this sentence. Indulging laziness and impatient seeking danger will not work. In fact, this sentence corresponds to Lin Feng in the past. As someone once said, empty talk will harm a country; only pragmatism can truly support a country."
Wang Tang said with emotion: "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, I am afraid that in the future Lin Feng will also be able to call himself a son, and he will be like Xunzi and become truly famous all over the world."
Ying Jiuxiao smiled and said: "I think that Lin Feng will be far better than Xunzi in the future. When it comes to scholarship, no one in the world can match Xunzi. Every one of his disciples is a famous Confucian scholar. But Xunzi never participated in political affairs from beginning to end. He has never been involved in the world. Lin Feng is good at these things. Lin Feng's skills in governing the country have been explained, and I believe in Lin Feng."
Wang Tang nodded with an expression of approval.
The two of them looked at Lin Feng in the hall and were in a good mood, because with Lin Feng here in Da Qin, the future was promising.
Ying Jiuxiao was in a good mood and suddenly said: "Wang Qing, how about we make a bet?"
Wang Tang said: "What bet does your Majesty make?"
Ying Jiuxiao smiled and said: "I bet on whether Zhu Youshan will kneel down and apologize. Now the crowd is excited, everyone is shouting that Zhu Youshan apologizes. But here, Zhu Youshan breaks his promise again and again. He may Denied.”
Wang Tang said: "Your Majesty, I think Zhu Youshan will definitely apologize, otherwise, he will not be able to get out of Yuanyang Tower."
Ying Jiuxiao said: "Since you bet that Zhu Youshan will apologize, I bet that he will not apologize. As long as Zhu Youshan apologizes, I promise you a "Nine Mountains Picture". This Nine Mountains Picture was painted three hundred years ago in the summer The imperial court painter Liu Buyi painted a picture of Emperor Li Huan of the Xia Kingdom on his tour to the Nine Mountains, and the chiefs of the tribes of the Nine Mountains came to see him with great fanfare. I know you like this picture. If you win, I will give it to you."
"Your Majesty, are you serious?"
Wang Tang suddenly became excited.
He and the emperor are monarchs and ministers, but they have also been friends for decades, so they naturally know the emperor's treasures.
"Nine Mountains Picture" is one of them.
Ying Jiuxiao chuckled and said, "Once I say something, it's hard to catch up."
Wang Tang said: "I will thank you, Your Majesty."
Ying Jiuxiao smiled and said: "It's too early to tell whether it's yours or not. Now, I can't draw a conclusion."
Wang Tang said: "We'll see."
Both of them looked towards the lobby. Zhu Youshan, who was lying on the ground this time, was a little confused. There were more and more calls for him to kneel down and apologize.
what to do?
Zhu Youshan is facing difficulties.
Zhu Youshan turned his eyes and looked at Lin Feng, with a hint of longing in his eyes. After all, Lin Feng also studied in the Imperial College in the past and was considered a classmate. He hoped that Lin Feng would take the initiative and be merciful.
Lin Feng sneered and said: "Zhu Youshan, are you looking at me like this because you want to disown your account? When you arrived in Daqin, you started provoking whenever you opened your mouth, barking or disrespecting you. Are you pretending to be pitiful now?"
I wish you the best, I'm just a villain.
Such people will run rampant when they succeed. Lin Feng doesn't like them and doesn't want to deal with them.
If he had no talent or ability to deal with it, it could be foreseen that he would be beaten to a pulp by Zhu Youshan today, and even Zhu Youshan would never spare him any face.
This is what Zhu Youshan deserves.
Zhu Youshan listened to Lin Feng's words, his eyes were red, and suddenly exploded, saying hysterically: "Lin Feng, you are so cruel? I have already been defeated, and you are still so aggressive. I came from a poor family, and it was not easy for me to Today, you want to destroy everything about me. How can you be so cruel."
Lin Feng couldn't help but said: "You made the bet, and now you say you are heartless. It's really a joke."
Zhu Youshan said: "Are you the same as me? You, Lin Feng, come from a family of generals. You have been the proud son of heaven since you were born. Without your background, would Xunzi accept you as his disciple?"
"Without your background, would you be able to enter the Imperial Academy with your domineering temperament? Without your background, would Great Qin take you seriously?"
"Everything is because you have a good background and you are where you are now."
Zhu Youshan said: "Why do you accuse me?"
Lin Feng said disdainfully: "What happened to you is something you brought upon yourself, no one wants to harm you. If you came to Xianyang, you came to discuss Taoism and communicate with each other. If you didn't have the intention of harming others, it wouldn't be like this."
"You want promotion and benefits, and no one is against you, because everyone wants a better life. But you, Zhu Youshan, harm others in order to gain benefits, and even do whatever it takes to flatter Yan Wuji and the emperor. If you lose your position, it’s your fault.”
"The reason why you are in the current situation is because you are greedy and want to climb up on my corpse."
"That's why everything is happening now."
"You brought all of this on yourself. It's a joke to blame it on one's origin. My ancestors of the Lin family were also ordinary people. My ancestors of the Lin family were proud and proud. They never flattered anyone or agreed with anyone."
"I, Lin Feng, face the Emperor of Xia's treatment. If I bend and bend a little to follow the trend, my family will not be raped. I will never violate my conscience."
"In view of your background, I would like to give you a message: If you are born like an ant, you should have the ambition to be a swan; if your life is like thin paper, you should have an unyielding heart."
Lin Feng flicked his sleeves and said: "You are responsible for everything today. The bet you made must be carried out. In front of everyone, kneel down and kowtow to apologize to the scholars of Great Qin. Then go out and take off your clothes. Take off your clothes and run."
