Hou Xun was very angry at Feng Ziying's shameless behavior, but you couldn't tell what Feng Ziying had done.
He wants to refuse to admit that this is his own poem, what can you do?
Who can prove that this is the poem he wrote?
This guy has even thought it through a long time ago. You saw it on a dilapidated side wall in Datong when you were a kid, and you couldn't even find any evidence.
The wall on the border fortress may have collapsed and weathered long ago. I can’t remember where it is after so many years. What do you say?
It's just that no one expected that there would be people who wouldn't admit that they had made a wonderful poem. Well, they only plagiarized other people's poems and never heard what the author himself didn't want to admit. This is not anti-poetry.
"Ziying, you are acting like a rogue. You can compose poetry but you pretend to be a ghost in front of us. This is too unjust." Hou Xun shook his head repeatedly, "It's not good to tease Ji Mu like this..."
Hou Xun is not a good person, and he is still trying to sow discord between himself and Wang Xiangchun. However, Feng Ziying has not considered maintaining a good relationship with Wang Xiangchun. When meeting such a character, it is best to stay away from him and avoid dealing with him.
Lian Guoshi, Huang Zunsu and Yang Sichang could not help laughing.
This Feng Ziying is really a man of great influence, and she will never settle down no matter where she goes.
But they also heard Wang Xiangchun's aggressiveness, but Wang Xiangchun didn't look at people first. You have to teach Feng Ziying a lesson. Isn't this an old man who hangs himself? Doesn't he think he has a long life?
"Ruogu, Brother Ji Mu and I are from the same country. How can you provoke such a friendship? Isn't it that your Chongzheng Academy is jealous of our Qingtan Academy, so you want to provoke us in every possible way?"
Feng Ziying is not polite either. Since you are deliberately provoking trouble, don't blame yourself for throwing dirty water on you.
"Why, Brother Ruogu, is it because our Qingtan Academy won the championship? You are not convinced, and you are planning to let Brother Jun Yu and Brother Wen Ruo have a quarrel before you feel comfortable. There is also the real eldest brother in the middle. Do you hope that the three of them will Come and have a melee?"
Huang Zunsu didn't expect that Feng Ziying also knew about him, and was a little surprised. No wonder this person was very famous in the capital city. It was said that the scriptures, meanings, and literature were all superficial, but he was ranked ninth among the top two. It was really extraordinary.
Hou Xun didn't expect that Feng Ziying was a mad dog. As soon as the conversation changed, he got caught up in it. Pot after pot of sewage was poured on him, making him confused. He didn't know how to explain it for a while. good.
"Who is so bold and dares to make such a noise at the Enrong Banquet?" The civil servant sitting on the left stood up and said sternly.
Li Tingji, the Minister of Rites, was also a square figure, but in Qi Yongtai's words, being too square would appear to be headstrong.
The banquet suddenly became quiet. Li Tingji stood up and came over, looking sternly at Hou Xun, Feng Ziying and Wang Xiangchun. Feng Ziying and others quickly stood up and saluted.
"You guys, what's the fuss about?" Li Tingji finally locked eyes with Feng Ziying.
Feng Ziying knew that among these people, Li Tingji would definitely find her. Hou Xun's father was from Taichang Temple, and Wang Xiangchun's father and brother would be Jinshi. Eyes, it’s not about who you are looking for.
He could only stand up and salute, "Master Shangshu, I didn't mean to smile. I never thought that it would disturb you..."
"You don't want to laugh? What are you talking about?" Li Tingji is not easy to fool. He has attracted so many people around him. There must be some story behind it.
Seeing that she couldn't get over it, Feng Ziying had no choice but to briefly explain the situation.
When Li Tingji heard that Feng Ziying claimed that he didn't understand poetry, his face became even more ugly. He glanced at Feng Ziying coldly, "You mean you didn't write this poem?"
"No, it was indeed written down by the student by chance. It's just that Brother Ji Mu happened to talk about Li and Du today, so the student took it and used it according to the occasion. He didn't dare to deceive the adults."
Feng Ziying's very frank and sincere attitude made Li Tingji look a little better, but he could not let him go so easily: "Since you are a student of Qingtan Academy, which is famous all over the north, you say that you don't understand poetry. , isn’t it to discredit your Qingtan Academy?”
"Sir, I don't understand poetry. Well, it's just that I'm not good at it, not that I'm illiterate..."
Feng Ziying was also a little annoyed. Master Qi said that this person was too honest and had become stubborn and old-fashioned.
Li Tingji looked around, finally withdrew his gaze, and pondered for a moment: "In that case, today is a banquet given by the emperor. If you make a noise, I will not punish you. Feng Ziying, all 380 Jinshi in this department are all Here, I would like you to give these words to your contemporaries immediately as a parting encouragement to encourage them to be virtuous and meritorious in the future."
Everyone's eyes fell on Feng Ziying, who was standing in the middle, including Prince Zhongshun and Niu Jizong, who were sitting as guests of honor.
Feng Ziying didn't know where she had offended this Li Shangshu. He actually made such an appearance to her at the Enrong Banquet. Could it be that the Wang family where Wang Xiangchun lived had a special relationship with him, or that the Hou family had a close relationship with him? ?
Parting words? How on earth could I come up with any farewell words? Think about the poems written on that guestbook in my previous life.
Young idler, an old beggar? There will be times when the wind and waves break, and the clouds and sails will be hung directly to help the sea? These are poems that everyone knows. Why don't you read them out and be drowned in spit?
Just give in completely and say no? I'm afraid that the Qingtan Academy brand will be destroyed.
These poems are not appropriate to use as parting words in this era, not to mention other people's poems, even if they are your own.
These days, parting words must be relevant to the purpose and have a profound meaning. In one sentence, they must be in line with the political correctness of this era.
Feng Ziying felt more and more that her unswerving pretense of not being able to understand poetry was a wise move, otherwise there would be traps everywhere in the future.
It’s just that we have to overcome this difficulty today.
Taking a deep breath, Feng Ziying cupped her hands: "Master Shangshu, the student is indeed not good at poetry, but since the master loves our Qingtan Academy so much, the student can only try his best."
Li Tingji also felt that Feng Ziying had turned Qingtan Academy against him, and felt a little regretful.
People like Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen are scholarly scholars and are not easy to provoke. There are also people like Qiao Yingjia who have a close relationship with Qingtan Academy and are quite powerful.
But once the words were spoken, he couldn't take them back. He could only stand firm and nod slightly to indicate to the other party.
"Dear classmates, we owe this great opportunity to the emperor's grace. On this occasion of parting, I am entrusted by the minister to give you some impromptu words. I hope you will support me in the same year." Feng Ziying pondered for a moment before speaking: "Don't see through it. Righteousness and interests are the key to what it means to be a human being; to understand the words loyalty and filial piety is to study."
Li Tingji's eyes lit up and he couldn't help stroking his beard and thinking.
These two sentences are more like confrontational words, but they are quite suitable for the situation at this time.
This group of students passed the Jinshi examination and will soon embark on the road of becoming officials and starting their official career. As the Minister of Rites, I am still thinking about how to remind and teach these students not to go astray. Unexpectedly, this person in front of me These two sentences are so perfect for the occasion!
Righteousness, loyalty, and filial piety are exactly what an official should pay attention to. The Great Zhou Dynasty knew the world through filial piety, and loyalty to the emperor was not to mention. It is the true nature of an official to value righteousness over profit. He really has some skills, and he said that he is not good at poetry. At least this guy has a pretty deep understanding of the meaning of the scriptures.
Prince Zhongshun, who was sitting at the top, had bright eyes, and the last sentence was simply a classic.
The emperor's brother, Yuji, was the king of loyalty and filial piety before him, but the man in front of him came up with a sentence: to know the word "loyalty and filial piety" is to study, and to study is to study for the emperor brother, and all the scholars in the world are in the bag. This meaning is so good .
All the students in the hall were also savoring these two sentences by Feng Ziying, and the more they tasted, the more interesting they became.
But Feng Ziying really broke into a cold sweat. How could he have the ability to give a farewell message and meet the three immortals of meritorious service and moral integrity? It was just a coincidence that this book was inscribed by Feng Zicai for Guangxi Xiuyang Academy. He had some impression that it seemed to fit relatively well, so he had an idea and slightly changed it before using it.
Sure enough, it seemed to be working well. At least the Li Shangshu in front of him nodded slightly, which meant that he had passed the test.
Li Tingji finally nodded: "Yes, he is indeed a student of Qingtan Academy, and he is in line with the holy will."
After speaking, Li Tingji went straight back to his seat.
At this time, the students started talking among themselves.
"Ziying, what you said is very good. It is a shame for our Qingtan Academy!" Xu Xie, who was sitting at the other end, raised his voice, deliberately glanced at Hou Xun, and said calmly: "Look who else is uncomfortable. Try your best to challenge our Qingtan Academy."
Xu Xie was famous all over Jiangnan with his poetry many years ago. In the past two years, he studied in the capital and became even more famous all over the world. He dared to boast like this, but few people dared to challenge him.
This grace banquet finally came to an end in a somewhat strange atmosphere.
There were a lot of rituals that followed, such as bestowing the champion with a crown and court robes, and giving each Jinshi five gold ingots. Well, it was about fifty taels, worth six hundred taels of silver. But when he got it home, it was specially treasured by his mother. Come on, this is to be passed down as a family heirloom.
The next step is to express gratitude, and finally it is to practice state affairs and take everyone to visit the Imperial Academy, visit the temple of the ancestors, perform the ceremony of releasing vegetables, and finally present the family certificate and compile the "Jinshi Admission Record".
The more complicated it is, the more it shows that the court attaches great importance to the Spring Festival Competition, and the more it proves how difficult it is to get the position of Jinshi. Feng Ziying can understand it, but these red tapes also make people spend several days. It can't be dealt with completely, making people and dogs restless.
The turmoil at the Enrong Banquet quickly spread among the Jinshi and some interested people in the court. Feng Ziying did not like poetry, but she could always dominate with poetry and prose. This was once again confirmed.
