556 Taking in a disciple (1)
It was deathly silent outside the meridian Gate. Hundreds of officials seemed to have lost their voices collectively, the sarcastic poem echoing in their ears.
Only a scholar could truly understand the irony in this poem, how sharp it was.
Scholars were not afraid of being scolded or quarreling. Some even regarded quarreling as a discussion of Dao and were self-satisfied. Those with low status liked to quarrel with those with high status.
Those who had a long reputation liked to quarrel with people of the same level, and even liked to quarrel with the Emperor. Once the Emperor was flustered and exasperated, they would even point at the Emperor and say, “He was anxious, he was anxious …
He was an outstanding person.
However, scholars, especially those in high positions, were afraid of being scolded by these three things.
First, history books.
2. Articles.
3. Poetry.
This was because these three topics were related to the things that scholars cared about the most:Reputation.
His reputation.
[ your Cao’s name and body will be destroyed, but the rivers will flow through the ages … ] These were words that struck at one’s heart. No scholar could stand the mockery of this poem. It was too malicious.
At this moment, the hundreds of officials felt as if blood had rushed to their faces. They truly felt a great humiliation.
It wasn’t just because of the poem itself, but also because the person who humiliated them was a vulgar martial artist.
It was not until the tall figure in the short cloak walked further and further away that an official said in a trembling voice, ”
“Fanatic, scoundrel, boorish fellow … How dare you humiliate us like this? My Lords, if you can tolerate this, then who can’t? quickly dispatch your troops and behead this dog.”
The one who spoke was the Imperial censor of the left, Yuan Xiong. His mood had fallen to the bottom after all his plans had failed. He was like a barrel of gunpowder. At this time, Xu Qi ‘an’s deliberate action of waiting at the meridian Gate to step on him made his heart hurt.
Yuan Xiong felt that Xu Qi ‘an’s poem was ridiculing him and trying to nail him to the pillar of shame.
The second one to go berserk was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, Qin Yuandao. He furiously took a few steps forward and sternly shouted,
“Guards, where are the guards? stop that bastard for me. He’s humiliating the court officials and is being disrespectful. Stop him for this official!”
It was a pity that the Imperial Guards only obeyed Emperor Yuan jing’s orders. Even the princess and the prince had no authority to mobilize them.
Minister sun had mixed feelings. He was inevitably angry, but for some reason, he was relieved that Xu Qi ‘an did not name anyone.
He nailed everyone to the pillar of shame and shared it equally. The shame that everyone suffered was not so sharp.
Minister sun felt that there was something wrong with his mentality, but he couldn’t come up with a conclusion. Minister sun, who was well-read in poetry, had never read Lu Shuren’s book.
Lord Wei has really cultivated a capable subordinate.
Chief advisor Wang’s mouth twitched and he said in a weird tone.
Even chief advisor Wang, who was unfathomably shrewd, was angered by this. The destructive power of this poem was evident.
All the officials looked at Wei Yuan in exasperation, questioning him with their eyes.
Wei Yuan seemed to have just recovered from his shock and asked, “”What is everyone doing, could it be that you’ve all taken a seat?”
…….. All the officials were stunned. They felt that Wei Yuan’s words had reversed the situation.
“Then, then what should be written in the history books about today’s matter?” A young lecturer of the Hanlin Academy said in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the officials turn their heads and look at him faintly. Their eyes seemed to be saying:Have you gone silly from reading too much?
The lecturer of the Hanlin Academy shrunk his head back and said, “”Such a small matter isn’t worthy of being recorded in the history books.”
the court session is over, ” Wei Yuan said. it’s not appropriate for everyone to gather at the meridian Gate. You should leave as soon as possible.
With that, he took the lead and left. After walking for a while, Wei Yuan couldn’t hide the smile on his face and let out a gloating “heh.”
After leaving the palace gates and entering the carriage, Wei Yuan, who was in a good mood, told Nangong qianrou what had happened at the meridian Gate.
The gentle adopted son chuckled and said, “”Foster father, weren’t you also among the Dukes at that time?”
The smile on Wei Yuan’s face slowly faded.
Outside the meridian Gate, huaiqing and Lin ‘an remained where they were as they watched the civil and military officials leave.
[ your Cao’s name and body will be destroyed, but the rivers will flow through the ages … ] Huaiqing muttered to herself. Her eyes reflected the backs of the Lords, but in her heart, there was only the tall figure in the uniform of the night watchman who left with a knife.
Xu ningyan was different from ordinary martial artists. He knew how to attack people’s vital points and how to use the sharpest attack to retaliate against the enemy without endangering himself.
Using poetry to strike the heart and hit the weak points of a scholar, this was Xu ningyan’s unique ability.
“The dog slave is so impressive …” The mounted man muttered.
There was only one scene in her eyes-the dog slave’s light poem had made all the civil and military officials furious, but they were helpless.
In Ming Ji’s heart, this was something that even his father couldn’t do. Although his father could oppress people with his power, he could not play it down like a dog slave.
Her charming peach blossom eyes sparkled, and she proudly puffed out her chest, barely showing the scale of a daily celebration.
…………
In the bedchamber, Emperor Yuan jing, who had just finished the morning court session, was holding a Daoist Scripture in his hand. He had silently listened to the old eunuch’s report and learned about everything that had happened at the meridian Gate.
“You have guts.”
Emperor Yuan jing laughed. It was hard to tell if he was praising or mocking him.
However, the old eunuch could be sure that Emperor Yuan jing had no intention of punishing Xu Qi ‘an for his arrogant behavior.
He could vaguely guess Emperor Yuan jing’s thoughts. Xu Qi ‘an’s actions made him look like a lonely official, following Wei Yuan’s path.
And a lonely official was often the one that made the Emperor feel most at ease.
