Inside and outside the Meridian Gate, there was a dead silence, and hundreds of officials lost their voice, echoing this ironic poem.

Only scholars can really understand the irony in this poem, which is so sharp.

Scholars are not afraid of being scolded or quarreling. Some even regard quarreling as a way of reasoning and are complacent. Low status people like to fight with high status people.

Those who have been famous for a long time like to quarrel with the same level, even with the emperor. Once the emperor was angry, they would point to the emperor and say, "he's in a hurry, he's in a hurry...

geishizhong is the best one.".

However, scholars, especially those in high positions, are afraid of being scolded by three things.

1、 History books.

2、 Article.

3、 Poetry.

Because these three are related to the most important thing for scholars: reputation.

Fame in front of you and behind you.

Er Cao's body and name are all destroyed, but the river flows forever... This is the words of killing the heart. No scholar can bear the irony of this poem. It's too malicious.

Hundreds of Beijing officials, at this moment, have the feeling of blood rushing to the skin, and really feel the huge insult.

It's not only the poem itself, but also because it's a crude warrior who humiliates them.

It was not until the tall figure in the short Cape walked farther and farther that an official said in a trembling voice:

"madman, Lizi, rude man... How dare you bully us like this. Your honor, who can bear it? Send troops to kill the dog thief as soon as possible. "

It's yuan Xiong, the imperial censor of zuodu. All his plans failed. He was in a low mood. He was like a powder keg. At this time, Xu Qian deliberately waited for his foot to step on the Meridian Gate, which made his heart ache.

Yuan Xiong felt that Xu Qi'an's poem was a mockery of himself, and he wanted to pin himself on the column of shame.

Qin Yuandao, the second soldier in charge of the Ministry of war, rushed forward angrily and yelled: "guard, where is the guard? Stop the dog thief and humiliate the court officials. It's disrespectful. Stop him for me! "

It's a pity that the guards in the Imperial Palace only obey the orders of emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty, and even the princess and the prince have no right to transfer.

Sun Shangshu's mood is quite complicated, anger is inevitable, but I don't know why. He is relieved that Xu Qi'an didn't call his name.

He nailed everyone to the column of shame and shared it equally. The shame on everyone was not so sharp.

Sun Shangshu felt that he had some problems with his mentality, but he couldn't sum it up. Sun Shangshu, who was full of poetry, had never read the book written by Lu Shuren.

"Duke Wei really trained a competent subordinate."

Wang Shoufu's mouth twitch, yin and Yang strange airway.

Even the unfathomable Wang Shoufu of Chengfu was angry. The lethality of this poem can be seen.

The officials looked at Wei Yuan angrily and questioned him with their eyes.

Wei Yuan seemed to have come back to his senses, and asked in a self-confident manner, "what are you doing? Are you all seated in the right place?"

All the officials looked stagnant, and felt that they had been defeated by Wei Yuan.

"Well, what should be written in the history books about this matter today?" A young academician said in a deep voice.

Voice Fang Luo, then see an official turned his head and looked at him, the eyes seem to say: you read the brain silly?

The Imperial Academy attendant shrunk his head and said, "these little things are not enough to go down in history."

Wei Yuan said faintly: "the court meeting is over. You should not gather at the Meridian Gate. Let's leave as soon as possible."

After that, he left first. After walking out for a while, Wei Yuan could hardly hide his smile and gloated.

Leaving the palace gate and entering the carriage, Wei Yuan, in a good mood, tells Nangong qianrou what happened at the Meridian Gate.

The adopted son with feminine temperament "ha" for a while, and said: "adoptive father, you were not among the princes at that time."

The smile on Wei Yuan's face faded a little.

Outside the Meridian Gate, Huaiqing and Lin'an still stay in the same place, looking at the scattered figures of civil and military officials.

Huaiqing murmured to herself, her eyes reflected the back of the princes, but in her heart she only had the tall and straight figure who was wearing the watchman's uniform and went away with a knife.

Xu Ningyan is different from ordinary martial artists. He knows how to attack people seven inches, how to retaliate against the enemy with the sharpest attack, but he does not endanger himself.

It is Xu Ningyan's unique ability to punish the heart with poems and beat the literati seven inches.

"The dog slave is so powerful..." he murmured.

There is only one scene in her eyes: a poem by a dog slave makes civil and military officials furious but helpless.

In the heart of mounting, this is something that neither father nor emperor can do. Although his father can be powerful, he can't be a dog slave.Her charming peach blossom eyes are shining, and some of them are proud to stand out of the daily scale of Huaiqing.

...

at the end of the morning, Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty, holding the Taoist Scriptures in his hand, listened to the old eunuch's report in silence and knew what happened at the Meridian Gate.

"Good color."

Emperor yuan Jing laughed, not sure whether it was praise or ridicule.

However, the old eunuch has one thing to confirm, that is, when Emperor Jingdi of the Yuan Dynasty learned about this and Xu Qian's arrogant behavior, he didn't mean to plead guilty.

He can vaguely guess the mind of emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty. What Xu Qi'an did was to draw himself closer to the orphan minister and follow the old way of Wei Yuan.

And the orphan minister is often the most reassuring thing for the emperor.

As a young man with ability, talent and talent, it is more in line with your Majesty's wishes to be an orphan than to be able to find a good source and form a party everywhere.

"All rivers will never be destroyed."

Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty laughed with a banter on his face: "good poem, good poem, we are worthy of this great poet. My great companion, pass on my word of mouth and order the Imperial Academy to record this matter in history. I'll have a look at it myself. "

This is your Majesty's revenge on the nerds in the Imperial Academy... The two poems of the Xu brothers make your Majesty's Long Yan very happy. The old eunuch was ordered to withdraw.

Er Cao's body and name are all destroyed, and rivers will never be abandoned!

When Emperor Yuanjing recited the poem again, his pleasure gradually faded away and his desire for longevity became more and more intense.

At lunch, Chu Yuanzhen listens to his old friend at the dinner table about what happened in the court hall. At last, Xu Ningyan blocks all officials with one knife and mocks the officials with poems.

It's a good idea to fight Wen Chen with Xun GUI, but it's very difficult. How did Xu Ningyan and No. 3 do it?... No. 3 and Xu Ningyan are brothers, and their talent in poetry is amazing.

Unfortunately, No. 3 is still in its infancy and low grade. It is too far away from his cousin Xu Qiancha. Otherwise, there must be No. 3 among those who went to the tomb that day.

Of course, the Confucian system has been weak for a long time, and it is understandable that the third grade is low.

As for the poems written by No. 3 in the Imperial Hall, Chu Yuanzhen said a word of praise, but he didn't say much. Poetry is a good poem, but the last sentence is not to his heart.

On the contrary, it was Xu Ningyan's satirical poems. Chu Yuan listened attentively and drank three cups on the spot.

"I've long wanted to scold those who live a simple life, but poetry is not my strong point. Xu Ningyan is worthy of being the chief poet of Dafeng Chuyuanzhen laughs.

He was happy all over. He had the impulse to go to find Xu Ningyan and have a drink with him.

But considering that the other party had just solved his cousin's imperial examination fraud case and had some trivial matters to deal with in the future, he resisted the impulse.

......

palace.

Wang simu, who paid close attention to the case, found out the fierce battle in the court today and the satirical poem at the Meridian Gate through his own business channels.

"I don't know how Xu Shuangyuan would cheat in the imperial examination. Well, his cousin Xu Ningyan was even more powerful in this matter. Through mediation, he was able to let Duke Cao and King Yu speak for Xu Huiyuan and let Tang xungui speak for them.

"This relationship is unusual. What surprised me most was that Wei Yuan didn't do anything. From beginning to end, he just stood by. As for Xu Yuan, it will not have a far-reaching impact on him. "

Of course, it's also a good thing for me... Miss Wang smiles.

The servant girl Lan Er is nearby, pretends to listen very seriously, actually full brain fog water.

"Lan'er, go to Xu's house again and make an appointment with Xu Huiyuan for me... No, it doesn't seem reserved enough and I'm asking for credit." Miss Wang shook her head and gave up.

Heart, at this time, silence can highlight my bearing and pattern. If I can't wait to ask for credit, I will be underestimated by the master mother of the Xu family.

Smart people don't need to make things too obvious, just tacit.

...

Si Tianjian.

When Yang Qianhuan passed the alchemy room on the seventh floor, he heard his younger martial brothers talking about what happened in the early Dynasty. He didn't want to listen to these things.

But hearing the word "Xu Ningyan", Yang Qianhuan slowed down and instinctively told him that maybe it was an opportunity to increase his knowledge.

"Mr. Xu's poem is very exciting. I think it's the first satirical poem in history."

"Look what you said, it's too exaggerated, but it's really cool, especially in front of the civil and military officials, blocking in the Meridian Gate, such a sentence"

poem? What poetry.

Yang Qianhuan approached quietly and said in a deep voice, "what are you talking about?"The alchemists in white were startled. They stared at the back of his head and complained, "brother Yang, you are so scared every time."

Yang Qianhuan ignored him and asked, "what did Xu Ningyan do? A man blocked all the civil and military officials at the Meridian Gate? What is the first satirical poem in history

The alchemist in White told Yang Qian what happened today.

When Yang Qianhuan was struck by lightning, he had a picture in his mind. After he left the court, the civil and military officials walked out of the Meridian Gate slowly. At this time, he suddenly saw a figure in white standing with his back to all living beings, blocking the way of the officials.

The princes were very angry and scolded that the white warlock didn't know the heaven and earth, and dared to block our way.

The magician in white ignored the curse from all over the sky. Suddenly, he uttered a loud chant: "Er Cao's body and name are all gone, and the river will never be abandoned."

Civil and military officials were numb and shocked on the spot.

Thinking of this, Yang Qianhuan felt that his body was like an electric current, but he was shaking uncontrollably, and his goose bumps protruded from his neck and arms.

"Why, why can Xu Ningyan always do things that are enviable. Yunzhou stands alone against 400 rebels and fights Buddhism in the spotlight... It's unfair, it's unfair.

"When is the next court meeting? I, I'm going to the Meridian Gate, too. I have to go. "

...

in the afternoon, the Department of Jiaofang.

Xu Qi'an and Fuxiang sit opposite each other for tea. While chatting and laughing, they tell Fuxiang about today's court, together with Xu's patriotic poem "written" in the new year and his half poem at the Meridian Gate.

Fu Xiang is a poet who loves poetry. His heart shakes when he listens to it. He is full of worship for Xu Qi'an's deeds of blocking hundreds of officials. His wonderful eyes are full of water.

"Please do one thing and spread the story of today's court." After that, Xu Qian put forward his own requirements.

Jiaofang department is the fastest and most convenient transfer station to spread information.

"Well, what's Xu Lang going to pay people?"

Fuxiang didn't refuse that year. Qiushuimingmou looked at Xu Qian.

Like a person is not hidden, floating incense to Miss Xu Qi'an is full of water.

Half an hour later, Xu Qi'an went to see Mingyan, Xiaoya and other familiar Huakui, and asked them to spread what happened in today's court hall when they were in the tea circle.

And then ride the little mare back to the house.

The imperial examination cheating case is a fatal blow to Xu Xinnian's reputation, especially after the intentional spread, the scholars in Beijing and the public all know that Xu Xinnian got Huiyuan by cheating.

This impression will gradually precipitate in the follow-up time. Once it forms a brand, even if the imperial court proves Xu's innocence in the future, it will be difficult to reverse the image for a while.

Moreover, the imperial examination fraud case is not over, and the palace examination will take place in five days. Xu Qi'an has to be on guard against sun Shangshu and others who put all their eggs in one basket and make trouble on the eve of the palace examination.

For example, they incited the students of Guozijian to make trouble.

If the public opinion can be reversed in a short period of time, the students of Guozijian will be unknown and difficult to achieve great things.

When everyone knows that Xu Xinnian has been wronged, even if you pretend to turn a blind eye, you will not get public recognition and support.

The ancients paid great attention to making a famous teacher whether they were fighting or planning.

"The favor of King Yu has been used up, and it's not a loss. Fortunately, King Yu has no intention to fight for fame and fortune, otherwise he may not stand for me..... The Duke of Cao has not given me the benefits I promised. With the influence of the Duke and the Deputy General of Zhenbei king, I will turn back and be killed......"

"it's the plan of the deputy general and the Duke of Cao that the king of Zhenbei didn't know about it Yes, I'm just a small silver Gong. Even if the king of Zhenbei knows, he won't blame the deputy general. Moreover, the Vajra of Buddhism is invincible, and even those with high martial arts will be moved. After all, it can enhance defense, cultivate to a higher level, and even usher in a breakthrough in combat power. He has no reason not to be moved.

"So the promised benefits still have to be given. But, I can write down the nine Yin Zhen Jing... "

...".

evening, Xu's dining table is enveloped in a joyous atmosphere. Aunt, while enthusiastically giving the new year's dish, gave Xu Qian a dish.

As if they were his own sons.

Although this attitude will not last long, in the future, when my nephew whines, my aunt will remember the old hatred, and then the relationship will return to the original.

But now my aunt's gratitude is as sincere as 24K gold.

Xu Lingyue likes this kind of family atmosphere very much, more and more worship big brother, smart beautiful eyes have been hanging on Xu Qi'an.

"Well, I have something to say."

Lina swallows her food and looks at Xu Qian and Xu Ershu with a rare seriousness.

"What's the matter?" Xu Qi'an asked while eating.

Xu Er Shu took his glass, took a sip of wine, and looked at the little black skin in southern Xinjiang with Yu Guang.

With a serious face, Lina looked at Xu Lingyin and said, "I want to accept Lingyin as an apprentice.""Poof..." Xu Qian sprays rice.

"Poof..." Uncle Xu sprayed wine.

The family was caught off guard.

Xu new year's face disdain of shake off the rice grain on the body, far away from big brother, and then look to Lina: "tell me your reason."
