Datang Longya

Chapter 72 tit for tat
Tianxialou, high-end gambling workshop, literary gambling club.

This time it is a competition between "fu" and calligraphy. Five surnames, seven Wangs, court ministers (maybe we can add a Leng Feng?) think hard for ten days, and face off in one day!
Not only is there a large number of high-ranking officials on the side of Tianxialou Gambling Square, but the rest of Tianxialou is also crowded with businessmen and students watching the excitement.This time the Imperial Army was also dispatched, and the entire Tianxia Building was heavily guarded.

Lao Yuan first asked the emperor if it was time to start, and when he saw the emperor nodded, he made a bow: "Everyone, in ten days, all the splendid chapters will be displayed. I wonder which one will come first?"

Lu Zhengyang was the first to stand up: "Let me show my shame first!"

Li Shimin pointed to the window and said, "Patriarch Lu might as well read by the window, so that the students and ordinary people who are waiting outside can also be listeners!"

Lao Yuan immediately walked to the window, and poked his head out in an extremely indecent manner: "Everyone! Be quiet! Be quiet!! Your Majesty has ordered that all excellent works will be read by the window, and everyone is invited to enjoy them!"

There was only a voice of "Thank you, Your Majesty" outside the window, and then it was quiet.

Lu Zhengyang unfolded the scroll: ""Guogen Fu": The tree in front of the court, ten hugs thick, asked the neighbors, I don't know what the year is...

Since the dispute between the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, the humanities have prospered, and the clans have been established...

The survival of the current clan is like the root of the national tree, which cannot be shaken. The generations have taught each other for thousands of years, and the new generation is full of pride, just like the branches of the tree..."

Leng Feng got goosebumps all over his body when he heard this so-called "National Fu".Comparing the clan to the foundation of the country, it cannot be shaken, and the branches should not be pruned too much. It is short of writing in vernacular: "You should spoil me, let me be free, and don't suppress us if you have nothing to do!"

No one expected that Lu Zhengyang would write such a fu, and even Wang Xian looked at Lu Zhengyang with the eyes of an idol.

That's awesome!Don't dare to put it on us like this!
Li Shimin's face was already flushed with anger, it was too presumptuous!But in the end he was tempered by Wei Zheng. Although he was furious, he didn't burst out.

Outside Tianxialou, there were also many sighing voices.

After Lu Zhengyang finished reading, he unfolded the scroll with Lao Yuan and hung it on the shelf prepared in advance.

Ah!
When the scroll was hung up, everyone gasped. Although the content of the Fu was poor, the calligraphy was in Xiaozhuan script, which had the charm of Mount Tai stone carvings!

Li Cheng twirled his beard and said, "Old Lu, don't say that you wrote this word! I don't believe it. We have exchanged letters several times, and your handwriting looks like a dog crawling!"

Lu Zhengyang chuckled: "This is written by a wanderer in my family. He has traveled to Mount Tai for more than ten years, but his knowledge has not improved much, but this calligraphy is highly respected."

Han Chongwen originally wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Kong Yingda.

"It's better to keep Mr. Han's masterpiece as the finale. Lu Zhengyang has "Ode to the Roots of the Country". Unfortunately, what I'm going to read next is "Ode to Roots of the Country!"

"Rotten Root Fu"? !

Kong Yingda's words shocked everyone, "Rotten Root Fu" and "National Root Fu" can already be said to be tit for tat!
Kong Yingda leisurely walked to the window, and read: ""Rotten Root Fu": Spring followed summer in the ninth year of Wude, the old farmer in the field hoeed new shoots, his face was gray and white, and he returned home with tears in his arms. The neighbors asked each other , weeping and raining, the roots are stuffy, the roots are hot and rotten, the newborn Jiahe is over!  …

The existence of high-ranking officials of the clan is like the root of the grain of the country. How many kings of Jie and Zhou have existed since ancient times?Light corvee and light labor, and the livelihood of the people, the king must know it.However, the prosperous country has turned to decline for hundreds of years, why?Root erosion too! ...

Cui Buyun of the Cui family in Boling, a side branch of the Cui family, exchanged gold, silver and stinky high-ranking officials in heavy counties, reformed government orders, and threatened the refugees, and the people suffered unspeakably...

People who harm the country, what is this! ..."

Kong Yingda spewed hundreds of words eloquently, criticizing the clan to the point where all the members of the Qiwang Patriarch clan clenched their fists and glared at Kong Yingda.

If you are not in front of the imperial court now, you must make him look good!

Kong Yingda winked at Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian immediately offered a jug of fine wine, Kong Yingda took a big sip: "Have fun!"

"happy!"

Outside Tianxialou, many people cheered, especially the talented scholars who could not enter the official career.

Although the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs have a high reputation, many scholars resent them, why?
At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system was not perfect, and the selection of court officials was mostly "recommendation", that is, senior officials and dignitaries recommended talents to the emperor, and the emperor then chose.

The five surnames and Qiwang's influence in the imperial court is too high, following the path of the five surnames and Qiwang is the fastest way to become an official, and marrying a woman with a five surname is the fastest way to gain fame...

But what will poor scholars do if they do this!
A piece of "Lanten Fu", which is like a prose, is messy and disorganized, and some places don't rhyme properly. When it comes to "swearing", it simply uses vernacular.This kind of gift is in direct opposition to Lu Zhengyang's self-proclaimed gift, which makes people laugh.

After all, Patriarch Qiwang still has the cultivation of a scholar, so Wang Xian made his debut after Kong Yingda without doing anything.Although a piece of Fu is not as explicit as Lu Zhengyang's boastful Fu, the meaning is generally the same.

But after Wang Xian finished reading the presentation, Wang Gui stood up again...

Seven Looks: Lu, Li, Wang, Li, Cui, Zheng, Cui.

Seven courtiers: Kong Yingda, Wang Yu, Xiao Yu, Feng Deyi, Li Gang, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui.

Seven articles about the clan's good...

Seven articles criticizing the dangers of the clan...

The whole fourteen Fus are like a farce, the majestic "knowledge exchange meeting" has been turned into a comedy by them...

Li Shimin was refreshed drinking tea on the soft couch, and he asked these courtiers to enter the palace for a short meeting, just for such an effect!So what if you have a wonderful pen with seven hopes?As long as these ministers get involved, the so-called "beautiful text" becomes a joke!
The farce was enough, Han Chongwen stood up, and the old man wrote "Ode to the Wheat Field" in cursive calligraphy, using the example of a farmer to plant a grain and harvest an ear, to tell how the education of the Tang Dynasty should develop, and to describe the great prosperity of the humanities. Prosperity scene.

Yao Silian's "Ode to Hunting" uses the scene of a court hunt and a herd of antelopes working together to break through the siege to tell the truth that "the antelopes can still break through the siege, and if the Tang Dynasty works together, the sea can be flat".

These two Fu are excellent articles for the country and the people. Li Shimin immediately signed and commented on the end of the volume, and even stamped his private seal. This is a great honor!

Li Shimin circled around the two Fus, admiring them, and said to Yao Silian and Han Chongwen: "The Fus of the two are thought-provoking! I hope to copy a copy and hang it in the imperial study. I don't know if it is possible? "

Yao Silian clasped his hands and said: "Why do you need to copy, the humble minister's clumsy pen can still be seen, His Majesty just take it away!"

　I'm not at home today, and I've written a chapter sentence by sentence since morning until now. I have written the fus of Qiwang Kong Yingda and others indiscriminately, and I don't have time to conceive an article by myself... This is the disadvantage of being in a hurry...
