Chapter Thirteen Is This Fair?
Wang Juxian was extremely horrified. The poem he had just written was the same as his "Ode to Peonies", both of which used flowers to praise beauties. However, such a comparison was a judgment call - the other poem not only fit the scene: king, peonies, spring breeze
, Agarwood Pavilion... The whole poem embodies a free and ecstatic beauty, as if this poem is no longer something ordinary people can write!
Wang Juxian's face suddenly turned blue. If the other party thought that this poem was a "human poem", wouldn't his own poem be just a piece of shit?
"This, this can't be done by a kid like you!" Wang Juxian retorted feebly in a hoarse voice.
When he mentioned this, Wang Juxian's friend immediately stood up and echoed: "Yes! There are many vicissitudes in the words of this poem. How could you be able to write it at such a young age?"
"Oh?" Li Yi raised his eyebrows but smiled: "Then how do you want me to prove it?"
"Hmph, you kid may have memorized the poems in advance. Now I'm afraid you can recite ten or eight more poems..." Wang Juxian's eyes flashed with gloom, and he said: "If this poem
If it was really written by you, then you must have extremely high attainments in poetry and couplets. Although you are not very talented, you can be considered proficient in couplets..."
"Oh?" Li Yi glared. He was already confident, but now he was pretending to be panicked and scratching his head and saying: "Who doesn't have a weakness? My master's level of couplets is only average..."
"Huh, ordinary people?" When Wang Juxian saw Li Yi's panic, he suddenly felt happy and said forcefully: "How can ordinary people compose the quatrains just now? If you really can't do it, huh, then -
You have to tell me honestly where you copied this poem from!"
At this point, he paused, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with disdain: "If you don't dare to deal with it, just admit it! Maybe Your Majesty will spare you the death penalty because you are still young!"
Right? Li Yi was overjoyed. This fish finally took the bait. After he was reborn, although he had not studied books for a few days honestly, but - I am also an elite student who fought hard in exam-oriented education, right? Just to put it bluntly.
When I graduated from high school, I already knew astronomy at the upper level and geography at the lower level. I learned from history and the system backwards...
"Okay, come on!" Li Yi spread his hands and said helplessly.
Wang Juxian thought that he could completely suppress this disgusting boy right away, and at the same time be able to show his face in front of the emperor, which also allowed Princess Jade to see the true face of this rogue boy in front of her - what a triple win! He was suddenly excited.
He said: "Then I will publish this first couplet..."
Before Wang Juxian finished speaking, he was interrupted by his friend: "Brother Wang, wait a minute, this kid didn't just deceive you. What he did, he also deceived everyone present. I think everyone here wants to be humiliated."
Give this kid a try!"
"My little brother will go ahead and give him a try..."
"Brother Zhao, wait a minute, why don't you let me come first?"
"Brother Gui is so talented, I should just let me take care of such trivial matters!" For a time, many talented people seized this opportunity to "beat up the drowned dog" and gain the upper hand and show their face, and they were filled with indignation.
.
"This..." National Preceptor Zhang Xuanyi frowned. He, who was straightforward by nature, suddenly felt unhappy when he saw so many people bullying a young boy. He was about to speak to stop him, but saw Liu Zhen slowly shake his head.
"National Master, look at Li Yi being fought over and humiliated, but his face is full of smiles..." Liu Zhen raised the corners of his mouth and said, "I must have already had a way to break the siege!"
Zhang Xun glanced around and saw the kid standing there with a smile on his face, and he immediately smiled helplessly - how could he be so flustered but still standing there carelessly and casually?
"Okay, don't argue!" Li Yi cleared his throat and shouted loudly. After attracting the attention of the audience, he nodded solemnly at Leng Qianfu and said: "Well, since you are so eager to discuss with me,
, then I can’t favor anyone.”
When the many talented people who were quarreling over each other heard this, they were stunned - what kind of trouble is this kid trying to make?
Li Yi put his hands behind his waist, faced these talented people who had a dispute, and began to mediate: "Okay, each of you will write a first couplet, collect it and hand it over, and then I will read the upper and lower couplets together. Everyone
Does this seem fair?"
"Is this fair?" Princess Jade was stunned - asking a group of well-known talented scholars to write the first couplet together, and then having a teenage boy write the second couplet one by one? How is this fair?
"This?" The old monk in cassock also frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied - in his eyes, although this young man was somewhat talented, he was too arrogant to provoke everyone present without knowing the height of the sky.
Crazy! When he thought of this, he didn't stop him. He wanted to let this young man go through some training.
"Okay!" Wang Juxian twisted his eyebrows and said mockingly: "Today I will accompany you, a naughty boy, to go crazy. It will be a pleasure!"
After saying that, several young monks brought several slips, put pens, ink, paper and inkstones on them, and asked the talented men to write the first couplet.
His Majesty Liu Zhen, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, was sitting on a chair and looked over with interest. He saw that everyone present was polite and polite at the moment. He declined a few words before others were willing to write the first couplet. Moreover, this mention was written on
Not only the talented scholars, but also the country's relatives and nobles came forward with great interest and wrote a few sentences.
For a time, the garden was full of peonies, and everyone was respectful and wrote poems. It was truly a harmonious and beautiful poetry meeting.
The only thing that did not match the harmonious scenery of the scene was a dark-faced young man outside the crowd. This young man had his hands behind his back and his expression was as plain as water, as if what the people opposite him were doing had nothing to do with him.
The grand scene in the courtyard lasted for a full quarter of an hour, and then gradually became quiet. Two young monks hugged a thick stack of couplets and placed them on a redwood table in the middle of the courtyard.
Li Yi first clasped his fists at the people who were watching him, then walked up to the table with a grin, sat cross-legged on the futon, flipped up a piece of rice paper, and read with a smile: "The monk traveled to Yunyin Temple..."
…This first couplet is quite interesting, but it is too easy, so I hid in a temple and wandered around as a monk!"
"Ah!" A talented man in a green robe was suddenly horrified, and couldn't help but open his mouth and let out a soft cry.
"Well, in the deep mountains where two apes are breaking trees, a little monkey dares to saw each other..." Li Yi read the couplet, grinned and said, "Who wants to scold me, a little monkey?"
"That little monkey is what I'm going to fight against - a horse is stuck in the mud, how can the old beast get out of the way!"
There was a sound of "Pa—", and the folding fan that was shaking in the hand of an old man in his sixties with gray hair suddenly fell to the ground. His mouth opened wide, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be smoothed out.
"Squirrels walk in the yellow millet field, and the rats drag the ears of millet; haha, this is simple - a white sheep lies under the poplar tree, and the sheep gnaws on the poplar branches."
