Prince of Chaos

Chapter 429 Dismissal of talents without sticking to one pattern!

"Mr. Guide is the conscience of the court. With him returning to Beijing, the atmosphere in the court will definitely be changed! At that time, righteous people like us can also offer suggestions to the court."

Gu Xiandao is really a good joker. The person in front just said something, and he followed it up.

Hearing these people's continuous praise of Shen Li, Zhu Changluo's expression was very indifferent, as if he was watching a group of clowns.

Zhu Changluo was very upset that a group of little guys who hadn't been weaned talked about government affairs so unscrupulously.

Wei Zhongxian also seemed to see Zhu Changluo's displeasure, and he said softly: "Master, these people are just talking. After Shen Shangshu returns to the court, he still has to listen to the arrangements of the emperor and the crown prince."

Zhu Changluo took a sip of water lightly and said, "Who knows about the affairs of the court. Let's watch and listen to see what they have to say and express."

Wei Zhongxian replied softly: "Yes."

Zhu Changluo listened for a while, and found that when the group of people who coaxed Shen Li to return to the court, when they repeated a few words, it was either righteousness, conscience, or morality.

Zhu Changluo suddenly felt dull.

Zhu Changluo turned to look at Xu Guangqi, and he said, "Brother, what do you think about Shen Shangshu's return to court?"

After Xu Guangqi heard Zhu Changluo's question, he glanced back and said, "I have no opinion."

Zhu Changluo was a little curious. How could Xu Guangqi have no opinion? Isn't he also a scholar?
Zhu Changluo asked curiously: "Why doesn't my brother have any opinions? I heard people over there talking about what will happen to Shen Shangshu after he returns to the court. I thought that my brother would also have his own opinions."

Xu Guangqi said: "Guidegong is a gentleman of morality and integrity. It is expected that he can be used by the court. However, now that the crown prince is in charge of the country, what use is Guidegong to the crown prince?" , I don't know, so I have no opinion."

Zhu Changluo smiled. He didn't expect Xu Guangqi to transfer his opinion to the crown prince.

Zhu Changluo smiled and said: "Brother, although the current crown prince is young, he still handles things relatively safely. Regarding the opinions of the ministers, he is also kind. Shen Shangshu has such popularity, I think the crown prince will definitely consider Shilin's views. "

Zhu Changluo boasted about himself, not blushing at all.

However, Xu Guangqi didn't see it that way.

Xu Guangqi said: "It is true that the prince is young, but brother Yu thinks that His Highness the prince is definitely not a follower of the crowd."

"Oh? How can you see it?"

Zhu Changluo asked a question.

Xu Guangqi continued: "Xishanhuangzhuang is a clear proof that His Highness the Crown Prince has a wonderful idea, and he has done a lot of important things in the capital. Although Brother Yu does not understand the process, Brother Yu can also see that His Highness the Crown Prince has great ideas. How can a person who has his own thoughts and opinions be easily swayed by his subordinates?"

Zhu Changluo's eyes lit up, he didn't expect Xu Guangqi to give the crown prince such a high evaluation.

Zhu Changluo said: "Brother, how did you judge this?"

Xu Guangqi looked at Zhu Changluo and said, "Intuition."

When Zhu Changluo heard Xu Guangqi's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then he chuckled: "Brother's answer is really unique."

Xu Guangqi said: "This is also my wild guess. To be honest, I don't know the situation of the court. It doesn't make sense to me whether Gui Degong will have any impact on the court after his return. Therefore, I also Just take a guess.”

Zhu Changluo sighed: "If everyone can be like elder brother, many things will be much simpler."

Xu Guangqi laughed and said, "If everyone was like me, what would Daming do? There are carnivores who can plan big things, but even humble people can't forget to worry about the country."

Zhu Changluo said: "What my brother said is true. It is a pity that the current Ming Dynasty seems to be prosperous, but in fact there are many problems. There are too many defenders who talk about morality. They may do a good job in moral articles, but such people are not beneficial to the country. If , everyone can be as down-to-earth as elder brother, and do their job well, and the prosperity of Ming Dynasty is just around the corner.”

Xu Guangqi said: "My dear brother, you are wrong. I just said what I wanted to say."

Zhu Changluo said: "Come on, for the sake of my brother's heartfelt words, I will offer tea instead of wine, and a toast to my brother."

Zhu Changluo's action made Wei Zhongxian's eyelids jump in shock. What kind of ability does this Xu Guangqi have that made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince condescend to make friends with him.

When Xu Guangqi saw that Zhu Changluo wanted to offer him a glass of water, he didn't dare to push him too hard. Xu Guangqi immediately got up, bowed his waist slightly and said, "Your brother is too polite."

After all, he took the initiative to finish the tea in his hand, before Zhu Changluo could respect him.

Seeing this, Zhu Changluo also chuckled, and drank the water in his hand self-consciously.

At this time, those who cheered for Shen Li's return to the court finally wrote the poem.

They also began to praise each other and comment on their own good poems, and the atmosphere was quite lively and harmonious.

"Come, come, listen to Brother Zou's song "Wen Gui Degong Returns to Beijing""

Those with good intentions started booing.

A scholar surnamed Zou was pushed by the crowd to stand up.His name is Zou Bangyan, and he is also from a scholarly family for many generations, but he is also from the Xiaozong, and his relationship with the Dazong is relatively distant.

However, due to his good luck, he won the Juren at a young age, so even if he is a member of Xiaozong, he is now receiving extremely high courtesy from Dazong. Since the beginning of the Spring Festival, we can't waste a lot of time on the road.

Zou Bangyan first declined a few words: "Everyone, how can Zou's poems be considered elegant? I'd better let Brother Gu read them first. I just read Brother Gu's poems, and the writing is really wonderful. A quatrain fully embodies Gui Degong's noble character. You should read his first."

Gu Xiandao felt extremely honored when he heard Zou Bangyan praise his poem.

He couldn't compare to Zou Bangyan. Although he was also studying in Beijing, he didn't want to wait for the imperial examination.

The current Guozijian is no longer the same as the Guozijian in the early Ming Dynasty.

The current Guozijian is a completely profit-making institution. Anyone who has money can come to study here. After studying here for a period of time, you can get a diploma for supervising students. Then, with some money from the family, you may be able to make up for some small gaps. As a result, he changed suddenly and became a superior person who ate the emperor's food.

Gu Xiandao stood up and said happily: "Brother Zou loves you so much. If that's the case, then Gu should be respectful rather than obedient. First read my humble work, so as to attract others."

Gu Xiandao knew how to be humble, but his humility was too fake.

Zou Bangyan didn't expect Gu Xiandao to be so unpopular. Originally, he just wanted to pretend to decline, and if others pushed him again, he would "reluctantly" come on stage.

However, Gu Xiandao didn't seem to understand the meaning, he just climbed up the pole.

This caught Zou Bangyan a little off guard.

Zou Bangyan smirked, "Okay, that's good, then please brother Gu come on stage and read the masterpiece first."

Gu Xiandao never dreamed that he would receive such attention and be the first to read poetry on stage.

This honor made Gu Xiandao very happy.

Gu Xiandao walked to the stage under the gaze of everyone, and Sun Chengzong looked at Gu Xiandao.

Sun Chengzong said: "Brother Gu, please."

Then, Sun Chengzong vacated his position and let Gu Xiandao go to Taichung.

When Gu Xiandao arrived in Taichung, he was full of vigor and excitement.

Cough, hum!
Gu Xiandao cleared his throat first, and then looked at the masterpiece he had just written in his hand.

He brewed a good mood, and then began to recite his masterpiece in a cadenced voice.

"Righteousness belongs to the Duke of Virtue,"

"Be modest and moral to Yingchao."

"We still need to work harder,"

"A sense of righteousness hides in my chest!"

After Gu Xiandao finished reading, the audience fell silent.

What is this poem?

The level is wrong, the rhythm is missing, and the key is that there is no reason, not even a doggerel.

However, the scene cannot be cold.

Zou Bangyan got up first and said: "Good poem, good poem. This poem expresses Gui Degong's upright spirit! It also expresses expectations for our generation. It is a rare and good poem!"

Zou Bangyan's words immediately moved everyone present, and they all praised Gu Xiandao's nondescript poem.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Changluo couldn't help sighing: "Is this the future of my Ming Dynasty? It's full of lies and empty talk about morality. What's so good about this poem?"

Zhu Changluo's words were extremely harsh, and instantly became the focus of the audience.

When Gu Xiandao saw Zhu Changluo, his teeth itched with anger. Just this little thing made him unable to get off the stage.

Unexpectedly, at this time, he would still point fingers here, and even say that his poems are not good in front of all these years.

This made Gu Xiandao extremely annoyed!
Gu Xiandao said to Zhu Changluo in a blunt voice: "You say my poem is not good, but you write a good poem for us to taste."

In response to Gu Xiandao's provocation, Zhu Changluo spread his hands and said, "I don't know how to write poetry."

After hearing Zhu Changluo's words, Gu Xiandao laughed triumphantly: "You can't even write poems, how can you criticize poems. You are so ignorant! We are ashamed to be with him."

Zhu Changluo said: "Who said that if you don't know how to write poetry, you can't comment on it?"

Gu Xiandao snorted: "Excessive words make sense."

Originally, Zhu Changluo didn't intend to care about people like Gu Xiandao, but when he saw Gu Xiandao's attitude, he looked at the group of people who just tried to praise Gu Xiandao's poems.

Zhu Changluo decided to suppress their arrogance.

Zhu Changluo said: "Although I don't know how to write poems, I also have a good poem here that I heard from Mr. You Fang. I think this poem is very suitable for the occasion, and I want to share it with you."

Hearing what Zhu Changluo said, Gu Xiandao said, "You are afraid that your poems are too bad to sign your own name."

Zhu Changluo didn't argue with him either, Zhu Changluo said: "Whatever you say is what you say. But, let me say it first, after my poem is said, I'm afraid you will be embarrassed to compare your own poems. How about this, you continue to compare, and when you are done, I will be reading mine."

Zhu Changluo's words immediately stimulated the people on Gu Xiandao's side.

This kid's tone is really arrogant, a poem is going to overwhelm the audience, he really doesn't know what humility is!
Sun Chengzong also took a look at Zhu Changluo, and he also felt that this young man was a little overbearing.

However, looking at Zhu Changluo's confident aura, he couldn't help but look forward to it, wanting to hear what kind of good poem it is.

Both Xu Guangqi and Matteo Ricci looked at Zhu Changluo, their eyes slowly filled with concern, for fear that Zhu Changluo would lose face.

Xu Guangqi asked: "My dear brother, are you sure?"

Zhu Changluo said indifferently: "Don't worry, I'm sure. Isn't it just a poem?"

Zou Bangyan also looked over at this time, and Zou Bangyan was quite polite.

He bowed his hands to Zhu Changluo from a distance, and then said: "Since you have good poems, please read them first. If your poems are really brilliant, we will naturally be convinced."

Zou Bangyan's words immediately attracted everyone's approval, but these approvals were more like watching the excitement.

Zhu Changluo looked at their attitudes, and Zhu Changluo said: "Okay, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient. I'll write this poem right now and give you a taste or two. This poem is a poem of seeking talent, although it is not Praising Shen Shangshu's righteousness is barely similar to the theme of your poems. It will also let you see whether your level is higher or Mr. You Fang's level is higher."

Zhu Changluo still didn't name the poems he was about to copy. He said to Wei Zhongxian, "Prepare pens, inks, papers and inkstones."

After Wei Zhongxian heard Zhu Changluo's order, he immediately prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Zhu Changluo spread out a blank piece of paper, and he recalled the content of the poem.

After Zhu Changluo's thoughts were adjusted, he began to write on the white paper like a snake.

"What verse is he going to write?"

Everyone was waiting for Zhu Changluo to write the first sentence.

Xu Guangqi was the closest. He looked at Zhu Changluo's writing like a cloud, and the first line of the poem came out vividly on the paper.

"Kyushu is angry and relies on wind and thunder"

The aura of these seven characters rushed towards the face, as if the wind and thunder in Kyushu were stirring, and this huge and incomparable power seemed to bring infinite vitality.This greatly shocked Xu Guangqi!
"Have you written the first sentence yet?"

someone asked.

After Xu Guangqi heard this voice, he immediately read aloud: "Kyushu is angry and relies on wind and thunder!"

The voice of this sentence was so loud that it suppressed the voice of the audience in a short time.

After Sun Chengzong heard this sentence, his eyes moved.This beginning was a bit beyond his expectation.

Sun Chengzong could not help but also gather his eyes.

At this time, Zhu Changluo was also writing the second sentence.

The second line of the poem quickly came out slowly on the white paper.

This line is written in a low voice, not as high-spirited as the first line of the poem, but at the same time, it is also a picture scroll of a grand scene!

"It's a sad thing if all horses are silent"

Xu Guangqi's slightly deep voice echoed again. After the people present heard this sentence, Gu Xiandao hummed: "This is a poem about seeking talent, I think it is a poem about frustration."

Gu Xiandao's words did not attract the approval of the people around him, they were all waiting for the third line of the poem to come out.

At this time, Xu Guangqi raised his voice and read with a touch of excitement: "I beseech God to cheer up!"

Now Chengzong really couldn't sit still, so he immediately moved over.

After Zou Bangyan heard this sentence, he also cried out in his heart!
The turning point of this sentence is so subtle that he has to admire it.

After all, Zou Bangyan is a serious juror, and he still has real materials, much better than the idiot Gu Xiandao.

He knew all too well the power of this line.

Next, Zhu Changluo began to write the fourth sentence.

When the fourth sentence appeared, Xu Guangqi's voice was trembling with excitement. This poem has been completely shocked.

He has never seen such a magnificent poetry for talent!
"The fourth sentence: Eclectic talent down!"

Xu Guangqi read the poem aloud with excitement.

Immediately, the whole place was silent.

This kind of silence is different from Gu Xiandao's silence after reading his masterpiece.

This poem really shocked everyone present.

Especially Sun Chengzong, he was so excited by the last sentence that tears filled his eyes.

If the imperial court can really "reduce talents without sticking to one pattern", then an ambitious person like him will definitely be able to flex his muscles!
