Signing in to Datang: Rebellion at the beginning

Chapter 153 The Literary Forum Begins

Hearing Li Ke's words, the people from the big families below all smiled.

Because that's what they're looking for.

As long as at this literary conference, the aristocratic families can show their faces and have the opportunity to show their literary talent.

Then, they have confidence, they can show it well, and tell the world about the cultural heritage of their aristocratic family.

In particular, Li Ke said that the competition between the powerful families and the children of the poor families made the powerful families excited all of a sudden.

They originally thought that these poor children who had only studied for half a year could not be opponents of the children of aristocratic families who had studied sage books since childhood.

In such a competition, in their view, the children of the aristocratic family will definitely win.

However, Li Ke didn't think so,
Because, he has long disliked those young people in the aristocratic family.

Because in his opinion, even if some people have read books since childhood, they may not study seriously!
Especially those children from aristocratic families, they have very good conditions, and have been held on the altar since birth!

In this case, they may not be able to study knowledge well.

On the contrary, each of them has become the son of the cross.

Unlike some poor children, they have no books to read, they yearn for reading.

So they value reading more than anyone else.

Once they have the opportunity to study, their efforts in a day may be more than the efforts of the wealthy children in a month.

Li Ke's bet is that he believes that those who want to read must be better at reading than those who can read.

This kind of self-confidence is not only because of Li Ke's super high judgment, but also because in this imperial examination, he found that some children from poor families did very well in their articles.

From this, it can be seen that they have very high literary talents and knowledge.

That's why Li Ke was so confident in them that he dared to let them come out to compete with young people from aristocratic families.

It is undeniable that there are some older people in the aristocratic family who do have a strong cultural level.

People from poor families have not been able to produce such great educated people because of their short study time.

However, Li Ke believes that among the younger generation, the children from poor families must surpass the wealthy ones!

It's just that facing Li Ke's self-confidence, these aristocratic families are even more confident.

It is this kind of self-confidence that will harm them.

Down below, countless people are already excited, and they can't wait to watch this competition between the big family and the poor family.

Li Ke also waved at this moment.

Then, in the middle of the wooden platform, some new tables were brought up!
Immediately afterwards, many people around stood up and went to the table on the left to sit down.

These people are all people who have successfully entered the ranks of Jinshi in the imperial examination this time, and there are about 50 of them!
Among them, including No. [-] and Tanhua!

After these fifty or so people took their seats in the middle of the wooden platform, Li Ke looked at the people of the aristocratic family and said:

"These are young people who have achieved fame in the imperial examinations. You can also send four or five young people from your families to compete with these humble Jinshi of mine!"

People with five surnames and seven Wangs picked out four or five young people from their respective families with confidence.

Twelve families sent nearly sixty young children.

Immediately, these people also walked up to the wooden platform and sat down on the right side in the middle of the wooden platform.

On one side are fifty or sixty poor students who have only studied for half a year and have been admitted to Jinshi.

On the other side, there are children from a wealthy family who have studied since childhood and were born in a big family with five surnames and Qiwang.

The two sides sat facing each other like this, with pens, inks, papers and inkstones on their desks.

All eyes were on them, they represented a very different new force in the literary world.

It also represents the duel between Li Ke and the aristocratic family!
If, in this competition, the children of five surnames and seven Wangs win.

So it still proves that the five surnames and seven looking to the future are still existences with profound knowledge.

Because these young people represent the future of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes.

They have the strength, so the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes can continue to be brilliant.

But if these young people with five surnames and seven wangs lose, it means that the aristocratic families have completely declined.

It also means that Li Ke's imperial examination was successful.

The significance of this competition is too great.

But almost no one is optimistic about the children of poor families.

Whether it's a family of aristocratic families, or the children of wealthy families who participated in the competition, or the countless common people below.

They all felt that how can a person who has only studied for half a year be more educated than a person who has studied since childhood?
Especially the children of the aristocratic families, they looked at the new Jinshi who had obtained the honor with great disdain.

They believe that only young people from big families like them have real knowledge in this world.

They simply disdain these Jinshi.

Above, Li Ke saw that everyone was ready and did not waste time, so he just said:
"Time is limited, so there is no need to write lengthy articles. How about this, everyone present, take tonight's full moon and Mid-Autumn Festival as the theme, and each write a poem to compare with each other."

Poetry is very popular now.

Because the content is relatively short, and there are more rules and regulations, writing poetry is a test of one's knowledge.

Even if some people have very good knowledge, but their brains are not flexible enough, it is difficult to use this knowledge to write poems.

Therefore, those who can write good poems not only have a certain knowledge, but also have a certain brain.
