Chapter 87 "Chu Cry"

The doorman who suddenly broke into the classroom caused a thousand waves, making all the scholars and juren students anxious. Su Lin looked at Mr. Cai in the center of the classroom podium, and even Mr. Cai frowned slightly.

"What's wrong? Brother Yuan, why did the head of Jianning Mansion come here? Apart from the Imperial College, there are many prefectures in Jian'an Mansion?"

Su Lin looked at these anxious scholars in confusion and asked Yuan Mu around him.

"Brother Su, I'm not very clear about this. Let's find someone who knows it and ask..."

Yuan Mu spent most of his time studying hard in Jiyang County. He didn't know much about the grudges between Jian'an Prefecture and Jian'ning Prefecture Court, so he pulled Qian Sixian, a scholar who had just been approaching the guests and asked, "Brother Qian, what kind of grudges does this Jian'ning Prefecture Court have with my Jian'an Prefecture Court? Tell me and Brother Su!"

"Oh! Brother Yuan and Brother Su don't know something!"

Qian Sixian smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said in detail, "Pan Shi, the head of Jianning Mansion, was against the head of the Fangyuan of our Mansion since childhood, and he competed for the first place in the imperial examination to the second place. Later, the two went to the temple and still had to argue. Now they served as the head of Jian'an Mansion and Jianning Mansion respectively, so they naturally had to argue about the talents of the mansion..."

Qian Sixian was halfway through his speech, and another juren student snatched the words.

"But! The capital of Pan Academy has always been unable to compete with our chief of the Fang Academy. Our chief of the Fang Academy is the chief of the case in the imperial examination, Maocai, Jie Yuan and the top scholar, and they always beat Pan Academy one by one. Rumor has it that the two have reached the level of the Grand Secretary and went to the Temple to serve in the Temple, and have been fighting openly and secretly. In the end, they both realized the truth in the Hanlin Academy of the Temple and achieved the Hanlin Academy.

The head of the Fang Yuan was unwilling to serve as the prefectural government official, so he was at ease to serve as the first education talent in the Jian'an Prefecture. He also brought Mr. Cai, a big sign of movable type, which made our Jian'an Prefecture become a major government in the Wu State. The head of the Pan, who had always been competing with our prefecture, was naturally dissatisfied, so he also went to Jianning Prefecture to serve as the head of the prefecture, so he wanted to severely suppress the head of the prefecture in terms of educating talents and fight a turnaround."

"So that's it! But, if we have a famous teacher like Mr. Cai in Jian'an Mansion, how could we be bullied by Jianning Mansion repeatedly?"

After understanding the reason for the incident, Su Lin had questions again.

"Hey! Although Mr. Cai is a famous teacher, he always only talks about allusions and does not teach poetry and verses. Mr. said that thoughts and principles are the most fundamental, and other poetry and verses are superficial forms. As long as he is proficient in the most essential thoughts, these formal articles can naturally be deeply impressed... But how can you understand the way of thinking so simply? Several other Jinshi and Grand Masters are not good at poetry and cannot produce a few poems from Mingzhou, Dafu, so what can you teach us?"

A student from Juren sighed, "So the students in our court have a deeper understanding of their ideological principles than other courts, but they often fall at a disadvantage in writing poetry and lyrics. Pan Yuantou knew this weakness of our college students, so he attracted famous poets to teach in the palace. Even Jianning Mansion has been prosperous in recent years. Juren and even scholars have written several masterpieces of poetry in Mingzhou and Dafu! Even the current emperor and the king personally issued imperial edicts and commendations..."

"In the past, every time a poem above the Dafu was born in Jianning Mansion, the student supervisor would specially send him to show off. It was all because we students were not good at doing our best and embarrassing the teachers!"

"Yes! I heard from the doorman that Pan Yuanshou came to the door in person today. I'm afraid there was a masterpiece from Mingzhou!"

...

The scholars who were excited about listening to Mr. Cai’s lectures were all depressed at this time. Even Fang Hui, who was the head of the juren, clenched his fists and said unwillingly: "After today, I must study poetry and essays hard, and strive to write a masterpiece from Mingzhou!"

"No! Didn't we have the genius of Su Case Head this year? Just now, Mr. Cai said, "Didn't Su Lin also have a masterpiece of Mingzhou that has appeared in "Sacred Literature"? With Su Lin's song, our Jian'an Mansion may not lose to Jianning Mansion!"

"Yes, yes... Humph! You didn't see the Jianning Prefecture Supervisor who came last month. He said he was here to exchange academics and discuss and study the poems and articles in "Sacred Literature", but his flauntful look really made people want to beat him up! Today, we also want to make a comeback! Let the head of Pan Yuan of Jianning Prefecture know that our Jian'an Prefecture students can also write poems from Mingzhou..."

After a brief depressed look, a scholar remembered that Su Lin, who had just arrived, also had Mingzhou's poems published in the monthly magazine "Saint Literature"? So they all shouted with great confidence.

"Hey! Disciples, poetry and articles are just carriers of thought after all! Why should we take it so seriously? Maintaining a correct heart and studying the thoughts of sages is the right way!"

Seeing this scene, Mr. Cai sighed and shook his head.

"Sir, it's not that we take it too seriously. It's that the head of Pan Yuan of Jianning Prefecture bullies too much, so we can no longer embarrass the head of Fang Yuan!"

"Yes...Su Lin, it's all up to you this time!"

"This time we have the Mingzhou masterpiece from the head of the Su case, so I don't believe that I can't beat Jianning Mansion?"

...

Even Mr. Cai couldn't persuade him, so Su Lin was hugged by a group of scholars and juren and left the classroom. Sure enough, he saw Pan Shi, the head of the Jianning Mansion case who was arrogant and looked arrogant, and walked in with a few scholars.

Alongside him was Fang Chong, the head of the courtyard, who was slightly bent, and was taking Pan Shi in to invite him, but suddenly he saw that the students of his courtyard were also coming over with murderous aura. He coughed and asked, "Why are you all coming out to do it if you are not in the classroom to listen to Mr. Cai's lectures? Today is the publication of "Saint Text". My old friend, Pan Yuanshou of Jianning Court, came to exchange academic knowledge with his proud disciples and read the poems and articles in "Saint Text". Some of the students brought by Pan Yuanshou, some of whom have published poems in this issue of "Saint Text". You must humbly ask the other party for advice after a while!"

"We are also in order to welcome the publication of "Sacred Literature". Because this time, our court also has poems from classmates who are included in it!"

Fang Hui, the head of the hall, bowed his hand and came forward to answer.

However, as soon as Fang Hui finished speaking, Pan Shi, the head of the Jianning Prefecture Court, clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Okay! I asked your Fang Prefecture just now, and he humbly told me that you have no poems above the Jian'an Prefecture this month. It would be great if there is one, otherwise, I will bring my disciples here, so wouldn't I have no way to communicate? It's just that I can compare and see who has the poems better!"

Pan Shi looked arrogant and confident, pointing to a burly Juren at his hand and said proudly, "This is my best disciple of Jianning Mansion. Xiang Tianzi, the descendant of the Chu King Xiang Yu, was born in the monthly magazine of "Sacred Literature". I don't know... Fang Yuanshou, which Juren student wrote what kind of poetry and articles he wrote in "Sacred Literature"?"

"It's amazing! Pan Yuanshou is indeed a famous teacher who produces a high disciple, and our Jian'an Mansion is incomparable."

Fang Chong, the head of the court, smiled modestly and pointed at Su Lin in front of him, saying, "I, Jian'an Mansion, have no descendants of Chu Bawang. Instead, a child born in the case who just entered the mansion, luckily wrote a poem about Mingzhou."

Fang Chong said it lightly, but as soon as he said this, Pan Shi's face changed drastically and said in disbelief: "Sheng Fang Yuan, are you sure you are not joking? How could a mere case student write a poem about Mingzhou? Even if you Jian'an Mansion really doesn't have a poem on "Sacred Literature", there is no need to push a student out!"

"It's wrong for Pan Yuanshou to say this. Although Su Lin was just a Tong Sheng, he did write Mingzhou's "Autumn Ci". It's just that because he was written in the county test questions before entering the government office, Pan Yuanshou asked before, and I said no."

Fang Chong, the head of the courtyard, said seriously, but he was laughing in his heart, "Pan Shi, you old guy, if you know later, Su Lin not only wrote the poem about Mingzhou, but also had a poem about governing the country. I don't know what the expression would be! Haha..."

It turned out that Fang Chong, the head of the school, was also very fragile. He knew that Su Lin had two poems included in this issue of "Saint Text", but he deliberately pretended to only say one of them. When "Saint Text" was released in the past few months, he was shown off by the Pan Shi School Supervisor several times. So this time, Su Lin, a genius who was against the sky, could Fang Chong think about how to slap him back in the face?

"What? Mingzhou's work in the county exam? Don't deceive me. In this year's county exam, the highest poem in Dafu is the one that comes from Mingzhou's masterpiece? Besides, the Confucian scholars in the county exam are not even a child, so how can they make Mingzhou masterpieces that are difficult for us Hanlin to write?" Pan Shi stared at his eyes, questioning without belief.

Fang Chong smiled slightly and greeted Su Lin: "Su Lin, please explain to Pan Yuanshou what happened to your poem "Autumn Ci"?"

Su Lin didn't know what medicine was sold in this Chonghulu, so he bowed to Pan Shi and said, "Reported to the head of Pan Yuan, the student's poem "Autumn Ci" was indeed just a poem from the Dafu when he was written in the county. Because the students did not know how to use the holy power and their thoughts were not profound enough, their understanding of the poem "Autumn Ci" was a little short of. Later, when he wrote the inscription for the magistrate of Xu County, Fengle County, he suddenly realized that this poem "Autumn Ci" was promoted to the realm of Mingzhou."

"Can you actually promote poetry for a second time? It's not simple!"

After hearing Su Lin's words, Pan Shi was secretly shocked and turned his head to Chu Tian beside him and said, "Heaven is jealous. Su Lin's "Autumn Ci" is also a poem from Mingzhou. Are you sure that your poem "Chu Qi" is better than him?"

"Please rest assured to the head of the court! We have also carefully savored Brother Xiang's poem "Chu Qi", which is an indignation and unwillingness to the failure of Chu King. The deep thoughts and emotions are almost the country! Moreover, "Chu Qi" is a war poem, with momentum and power, which is better than ordinary lyrical and landscape-described poems. Then Su Lin is a little Tongsheng, and it is already amazing to be able to write Mingzhou poems! How can the Mingzhou poems written by Tongsheng be compared with Juren?"

Chu Tian was jealous before he could speak, and Ye Yusheng, another juren beside him, said confidently. Chu Tian was jealous of being tall and burly, but he was also introverted. He nodded to Pan Shi and said, "The head of the school, the students have this confidence. If they can't even compare with the poems of a child, the students will not have the face to write poems and lyrics!"

"I was too worried! The song "Chu Qi" that God jealous is extraordinary. It's a pity that you have never really been to the battlefield. If you can deeply appreciate the murderous aura of the battlefield, you will definitely go further and write a masterpiece of war poetry that can be used to keep the country!"

Pan Shi also nodded and said, and at the same time, his words were also heard by the students of Jian'an Prefecture. Among them, scholars and juren were shaken by their confidence in these words.

"Xiang Tianzi from Jianning Prefecture is a descendant of the King of Chu. He is a masterpiece written by Ju Ren Wenjie. Although Su Lin is also a genius, he is a child after all! "Autumn Ci" is probably not as good as "Chu Qi"?"

"That's right! It would be amazing that Su Lin was able to write Mingzhou masterpieces with his position as a Tongsheng! It is estimated that "Autumn Ci" is a poem that just arrived in Mingzhou, otherwise it wouldn't have just been a poem from Dafu when he first came out!"

"Hey! I thought I could really suppress Jianning Mansion this time! It's all our fault for not being able to do anything!"

...

Hearing that many of the students on his side sighed, Fang Chong, the head of the school, still smiled. On the contrary, Pan Shi, the head of the Jianning Mansion, pretended to be modest, and said, "It's just an exchange of academic thoughts! Which one is better? Will you know when the "Saint Literature" is published in a while? At least this month will not be like in the previous few months. You don't have a poem on Jian'an Mansion, which is a considerable progress! Haha..."

At this moment, the "Sacred Monument" in the center of the palace suddenly buzzed, and a golden light of holy power soared into the sky and headed straight towards the temple in the center of the Nine Kingdoms.

At the same time, among the hundreds of colleges in the nine countries of the Tianren Continent, all the "Sacred Monument" were like this. The golden light of the holy power connected to the temple and began to convey the monthly "Sacred Monument" with the holy power.

"Hurry! Everyone, look, "Sacred Literature" is about to be published. The first page is about to be released..."

The "Sacred Monument" is clear and I don't know what material it is made of. Now it is shrouded in holy light and connected to the temple's Holy Literature Department immediately shows lines of poetry and text condensed by holy power on it, presented pages in order of succession.

At this time, everyone held their breath and looked at the "Holy Text Monument". Su Lin also looked at the magical holy text Monument with curiosity. He originally thought that the "Holy Text" was printed in a book by the temple and sent to various academies in each country, but he did not expect that the "Holy Text" would be transmitted in such a magical way.

"Course leader! Look, the poems published on the first page of "Sacred Literature" seem to be Brother Xiang's poem "Chu Qi"!"

"That's right! The head of the courtyard is indeed Brother Xiang's masterpiece "Chu Qi", which was able to be published by the semi-saint selected by the Temple's Holy Literature Department. It shows that Brother Xiang's poem "Chu Qi" is extremely talented and is not comparable to ordinary Mingzhou's works!"

...

The first page of "Sacred Literature" is the song "Chu Qi" that Xiang Tian jealous. Suddenly, several scholars and juren brought by Pan Shi were all imposing and shouted proudly. You must know that the first and last poems and articles of each publication "Sacred Literature" must be screened through the Temple's Holy Literature Department.

It goes without saying that "Chu Qi" can be selected as the first article, and everyone already knows that this poem is comparable to that of Mingzhou's works.

Soon, the whole poem "Chu Qi" on the first page was completely presented on the "Sacred Monument", and the students of Jian'an Prefecture all recited one by one:

"Chu Qi

Xiang Yu's heroic figure is now emitting, and the waves in Wujiang roar and singing in Chu.

The torch of Afang is so strong that the world is almost panicked.

A hundred battles are full of golden swords, scales and iron armor, and eight thousand children are all in heavenly soldiers.

The Hongmen Banquet changed the country and the country, and Jingchu could not redeem the name of the emperor's son."

After reading the whole poem, it seems to bring everyone back to the era when the wars and people were in trouble at the end of Qin. The beginning of the article is from Xiang Yu's previous Wujiang, where the heroes were in trouble, and the end of the heroes became the title. Then I wrote in detail about Xiang Yu's burning of Afang Palace and his domineering aura as the leader of the strongest uprising army. The army of Chu was a warrior, and the eight thousand children were as invincible as heavenly soldiers, which formed a sharp contrast with the first sentence of Gaixia.

But the last sentence immediately changed the scene between the lines again, lamenting that it was a pity that the "Hongmen Banquet" King Xiang Yu of Chu made a mistake and finally let Liu Bang go, which was equivalent to losing a great country. It was a pity that the land of Jingchu could not fulfill such an emperor's dream!

In just fifty-six words, it describes several magnificent historical scenes such as "The Siege of Gaixia", "The Burning of Afang Palace", and "Hongmen Banquet", which outlines the life of Xiang Yu, the King of Chu, who had no choice but to end the life of Xiang Yu, who was in the scene and experienced everything personally. As the end of the poem, I couldn't help but sigh, "What a pity!".

Moreover, this song "Chu Qi" was written by Xiang Tianjealous, a descendant of Xiang Yu, and it has a unique meaning. Only Xiang Yu's descendants can express this helplessness and sadness in the most sincere way.

"Okay! What a poem! Xiang Yu, the King of Chu, has always been the hero I admire the most, but it's a pity that he never fought against Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang... This song "Chi" truly wrote down the life of King of Chu! After reading it, I felt a sense of unevenness and irritation in my heart! As a battle poem, this poem, combined with the war drum, burned with the holy power, can at least enhance the combat power of the warriors!"

"No wonder it can be the peak of Mingzhou! We can only see it!"

"Hey! If the Jianning Mansion has a genius like Xiang Tianje, I am afraid that the reputation of the Mansion will soon surpass our Jian'an Mansion! After all, there is only one Mr. Cai who teaches allusions, but Jianning Mansion can invite many poems to teach poetry writing! You can tell by looking at the "Chu Qi" by Xiang Tianjealous. It is indeed magnificent and extraordinary, and it makes people feel deeply immersive, and I can't help but sigh for the King of Chu!"

...

The scholars and juren from Jian'an Prefecture carefully savored the song "Chu Qi" by Xiang Tian, ​​and all nodded in praise, and admired him. Even Lu Tong and Fang Hui, who claimed to be genius, sighed as inferior. Mr. Cai, who was on the side, nodded in the same head, was very satisfied with the song "Chu Qi". He was not biased because it was written by the student of Jianing Prefecture. He praised: "The writing is flowing, and every word expresses the meaning. First, he first talked about the downs and downs of Gaixia, and then praised the great cause of the overlord, but finally sighed that the great things were not accomplished. Looking at the life of Chu's overlord, how pity is so pity!"

"It's indeed a good poem!"

After reading it, Su Lin had to admit that the song "Chi" by Xiang Tianzi wrote down the glory and downfall of the Chu King Xiang Yu.

"Look, everyone, there seems to be a semi-saint's comment behind it!"

On the holy text stele, after the whole poem "Chu Qi" was presented, another line of semi-saint comments appeared, which were comments by Yin Fangge, the half-saint of Chu State, but there were only two words "Xihu!".

The ability to make the semi-saint comments prove the ideological value of this song "Chu Qi", and the sigh of "Xihu" even shows that even a semi-saint like Yin Fangge in "Chu Qi" is deeply infected, and he can't help but express his regret for the Chu King Xiang Yu.

"Haha! Fang Yuantou, how about it? The song "Chu Qi" that Xiang Tian, ​​the Jianning Mansion, is enough to attract attention, right?"

After everyone was amazed, Pan Shi pointed at Su Lin calmly and smiled at Fang Chong, "I don't know what kind of poems this genius boy in the capital of Fang Yuan can write? But I guess it is impossible to be better than the song "Chu Qi" that Tian jealous, right?"
Chapter completed!
