Su Qian's words were like a steel needle, slapping the faces of everyone present, the pain was almost harsh.
Although he was angry, he did not get angry. This was not because everyone was kind-hearted, but in this situation, it was not their turn to stand out.
Song Wen's face was livid with anger. If Wei Yun hadn't stopped him, he would have taught Su Qi'an a lesson.
Wei Yun's face was gloomy, he stood up, looked at Su Qi'an, and said solemnly, "As expected of the prodigy of Lingbei County, his sharp teeth and sharp mouth are really impressive."
"Since Your Excellency is so eloquent, you must have come to Wangyue Tower for the poetry recital. As scholars, we naturally have to judge our merits based on our talents."
"Your Excellency said that our poems look like shit, but please do it so that we can appreciate your grace."
Wei Yun dared to say this, but it was not without purpose. Any scholar who can come to the fifth floor has a good background. Even if he comes from a poor family, no one would want to curry favor with him in the Wei family.
Wei Yun couldn't believe it. A small scholar in civilian clothes could write world-shaking poems.
Everyone on the court looked at Su Qi'an indifferently, and their disdain for Su Qi'an could be seen in their eyes.
As long as Su Qi'an dares to write poetry, no matter what the poem is, Su Qi'an will become the biggest joke in Wangyue Tower today.
Su Qi'an was not in a hurry to write a poem. Instead, he looked around, looked at everyone, and said.
"You all think of yourself as a literati student. So before writing the poem, Su is a little confused. Please answer me."
"You Han Chuang have studied hard for many years, naturally you are studying for high school, so I dare to ask you, what are you studying for after high school?"
"Haha, Su Qi'an, you must have lost your mind in studying. We and other literati are studying for the imperial examination, naturally to serve the imperial court and help the imperial court solve its problems."
As soon as Su Qian's voice fell, a powerful man sneered.
Su Qi'an nodded and continued to ask, "Well, it is true to serve the court and solve problems for the court, but what about the specifics?"
"Of course, based on our talents and the honors we have obtained, the imperial court selects talents and arranges us in suitable positions. The literati are officials, county magistrates, county guards, even state shepherds, three ministers and nine ministers, etc."
"Warriors are recruited as soldiers, and based on their merits in battle, they are ranked from corps commander, centurion, captain, captain, and finally general. These have their own arrangements."
Su Qi'an looked at the few young talents who came forward to speak out again, smiled and nodded, and then said.
"Well, these are good points. They all have their own arrangements. It's just that these arrangements all depend on your own skills and talents."
Everyone laughed when they heard Su Qian's confusing speech.
"Su Qi'an, I think you got your reputation as a scholar through the back door. Of course, these positions were selected through your true talents and practical studies and through the fair imperial examination system. Do you think you really relied on the back door and connections to get to the top..."
As he spoke, the people who had sneered just now seemed to understand something and shut up at the end.
Su Qi'an looked at everyone with a smile and said softly, "That's really good. The purpose of the imperial examination system is to select talents with real talents and practical knowledge. It is natural that people will look down on people for seeking connections through the back door. It's just that what you said seems a bit slap in the face."
Everyone's faces turned blue and white at Su Qian's words. They wanted to refute, but swallowed the words as they reached their lips.
I wanted to make fun of this ignorant guy, but I didn't expect that in just a few words, I would be slapped in the face.
This made everyone feel as if they had eaten rat droppings.
At this time, Wei Yun said, "Su Qi'an, I admit that part of what you said is true, but being appreciated and valued by the adults above is part of one's strength."
"This has nothing to do with the so-called backdoor approach to relationships. It can only be said that gold will shine one day. If you are a sharp-tongued person who confuses right and wrong, I will not care about you."
"After talking so much about your poem? I am seriously doubting you now. You just want to take advantage of the reputation of Wangyue Tower to speak loudly here."
"In this case, you don't deserve to be here, you can get out."
After Wei Yun finished speaking, a group of big men came over at the edge of the fifth floor. Their message was very straightforward. If Su Qi'an could not recite the poem, Su Qi'an would be thrown out in a few minutes.
Su Qian laughed loudly, "It's not just about making poems. Next, I'll show you and open your eyes to what poetry is."
After saying that, Su Qi'an stepped forward quickly, picked up the brush on the high platform, dipped it in pen and ink, and wrote on the paper without thinking.
"Look up to the sky and go out laughing. How can we be from Penghao?"
"I want to take advantage of the situation and ride on the wind, soaring up to 90,000 miles!"
"It should be noted that young Ling Yunzhi was once promised to be the best in the world."
Looking at the six sentences flying on the paper, the students who were watching at first wanted to open their mouths to criticize, but at the end, they all closed their mouths for a while, chewing softly and savoring the taste, with disdain on their faces. They are all quite dignified.
The arrogant youthful spirit in the poems written by Su Qian almost overflowed from the paper.
Even for older students, looking at just six sentences, the blood that has been cold for many years has a warm current, and the steady heart speeds up a lot.
After Su Qian finished writing these six sentences, he put the brush aside and said loudly.
"As a student of Daliang, it is natural for me to share the worries of the imperial court. But what I want to say is that literati are proud and should set their minds for the world, establish their lives for the people, carry forward the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations. This This is the meaning of studying for our generation.”
If the previous six lines of Su Qi'an's poem only proved Su Qi'an's youthful arrogance, the following four lines made Su Qi'an's mind reach an unprecedented height.
As soon as the last four sentences came out, the originally noisy students on the fifth floor fell silent for a moment, and even if a pin dropped, it could be clearly heard.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the heartbeats of everyone present clearly.
"Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living and the people, carry forward the unique knowledge of the past saints, and create peace for all generations."
Countless people had solemn eyes and whispered the four sentences Su Qi'an just said. Their eyes were filled with light, and their hearts were filled with overwhelming emotions.
Some older students couldn't help the excitement in their hearts, and their bodies couldn't help shaking. After a while, a white-haired old man stepped forward and swept away his disdain for Su Qi'an. His old eyes were full of It's a deep respect.
He bowed respectfully to Su Qi'an and said humbly, "May I ask Mr. Su, do these four sentences just have a title?"
Su Qi'an pondered for a while, and then said, "Since this sentence was actually written at Wangyue Tower, it is called Wangyue Four Sentences over there."
"Watching the Moon, Four Sentences? Well, it's not ostentatious, not arrogant, it seems plain, but the content is endlessly memorable. I have been studying for forty years, and today I can get the Four Sentences from Sir. I have no regrets."
"Mr. Su, I have learned a lesson from this lesson. Please accept my respect."
Su Qi'an hurriedly stepped forward to help him. This man was also a scholar in this county examination. He was over fifty years old. Although he might not be a high school student, the old man's reputation in Lingbei County was very high.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is the leader of many scholars in Lingbei County. He is worthy of being called Mr. in terms of knowledge and experience.
Even if Fang Jingzhi sees him, he has to be polite.
Su Qi'an just borrowed four sentences from the sage Hengqu to teach these idiots a lesson, but he did not want to accept the respect of this respected old gentleman in his name.
The old man was supported by Su Qi'an. Seeing Su Qi'an's behavior, he felt even more guilty and said softly.
"We, the literati, do not look at age, but those who are mature are our teachers. Mr. Su, at such a young age, has such a big heart. He should be a role model for us literati."
"Mr. Su, there is no need to be too humble. From today on, anyone who dares to disrespect Mr. Su in Lingbei County will be a provocation to all the literati in Lingbei County!"
"Yes, Mr. Liu is right. It is our blessing to see Mr. Su today. I was disrespectful to him before, but I hope he will forgive me."
After a while, a group of people quickly expressed support behind Mr. Liu.
The thin monkey hiding in the corner looked at this scene, his eyes even duller. When he came back to his senses, there was deep excitement in his eyes.
He knew that this time, it was not that the car had overturned, but that he had met a noble person.
Although he didn't understand poetry, looking at the reactions of these literati, no one was conquered by Su Qi'an's talent.
Even for an illiterate person like him, his heart was filled with excitement when he just listened to Su Qi'an's four lines of "Watching the Moon".
He had a premonition that Mr. Su's name would definitely cause a stir in Lingbei County and even Sichuan County after the incident at Wangyue Tower.
Seeing the Lingbei students who immediately changed their attitude, Su Qi'an didn't mean to care.
When literati are together, although there will be conflicts between the powerful and the wealthy, when you meet a truly talented literati, even if you are a dandy, you will feel a lot of admiration in your heart.
As soon as the four sentences of "Wang Yue" came out, they instantly conquered the literati present. Even the better students like Wei Yun and Song Wen all kept silent for a while.
Even they had to express their admiration for the courage, broadmindedness, and magnanimity of these four sentences.
They are not fools. The down-and-out child prodigy from Lingbei County who recited the four lines "Watching the Moon" will definitely rise with absolute strength from today on. Even powerful people with strong backgrounds like Wei Yun and Song Wen will find it difficult to stop him. Done.
At this time, Wei Yun's face was gloomy, and he was speechless by the scene in front of him. His clenched fists already revealed the anger in his heart.
Unexpectedly, an act of watching Su Qi'an's jokes would actually make this commoner famous. Looking at the many talented students who fell in love with Su Qi'an, if he didn't do something, he would not be able to control the situation at all.
Wei Yun glanced at Song Wen beside him and understood. He coughed a few times. Soon, another group of big men walked out from the edge of the fifth floor.
These big men all had fierce faces, fierce eyes, and their bodies exuded a tyrannical aura.
Su Qi'an quickly surrounded him, and everyone around him quickly reacted and said in a deep voice to Song Wen, "Song Wen, what do you want to do!"
"Humph, what are you doing? You'll know in a minute. Don't mind things that aren't yours, so you don't get into trouble!"
