Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

The servant's voice was very loud, and he read the article copied by the emperor himself in cadence, and every word was clearly sent to the ears of the ministers present.

"Ancient scholars must have teachers. Teachers, so preaching and receiving karma to solve confusion. People are not born with knowledge, how can they be free from confusion? If you don't follow the teacher if you are confused, you will be confused, and you will never understand it."

Chen Yin raised his eyebrows slightly. With his knowledge, it is not difficult to hear the extraordinaryness of this article. He raised his head and glanced at Li Shimin, who was smiling faintly, as if he was very proud.

Is this the magic weapon prepared by the emperor? When will His Royal Highness the King of Chu write such an article?

Chen Yin thought silently in his heart, and couldn't help being a little curious.

What was also shocked was the group of civil servants who lowered their heads. Not only the officials who stood up to attack Li Shimin, but even the other officials who stood in their positions and watched the excitement showed expressions of surprise.

Datang's official selection system is a combination of imperial examination and recommendation. Of course, to say that, in fact, the recommendation is still the main thing, which is why there is a situation where the power of the family is too big to lose. But let's not mention these things, let's just say that among the civil servants standing in the court, whether they passed the imperial examination or were recommended by the five surnames and seven Wangs, there is one thing to say, which one is not well-read Talented people? Which one can't write beautiful articles?

The way they read the article is first-class sophisticated and vicious. As long as they read the first three or four sentences of an article, they can probably know what the article is about. For example, at the moment the servants are reading the "Teacher's Talk" which is said to be written by the King of Chu. After just the first three or two sentences, they have already accurately judged one thing - this is a good article.

No, good is not enough to describe such an article. This is a very good article, so good that anyone who reads it will immediately feel ashamed of his lack of vocabulary.

For a while, the civil and military officials below whispered to each other, but the strange thing was that they only showed each other with their eyes, and refused to make the slightest sound, for fear that hearing the noise would affect their appreciation of such a wonderful article through the ages.

If Li Xin saw this scene, it would be difficult to hold back his laughter. This is of course what he expected - damn, who is Han Yu? Did the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties really think that they were arranged indiscriminately? Do you really think that the texts in high school Chinese textbooks are randomly included? Don't be ridiculous! Any ancient prose that can be included in Chinese textbooks must be a masterpiece that has passed the test of a long time in history and has been praised by countless people.

Not to mention that this "Shi Shuo" is still a must-memory table of contents, its importance in the history of literature can be seen. It can be said that if Li Xin can't write such an article to overwhelm all the heroes and overwhelm all the officials present, it will be called a strange thing!

The servant read unhurriedly: "That's why students don't have to be inferior to teachers, and teachers don't have to be better than students. There is a priority in learning the truth, and there is a specialization in art, that's all."

At the end of the original text of "Shi Shuo", there is a paragraph such as "Li's Zipan, seventeen years old, good at ancient Chinese". Of course, Li Xin would not be so stupid as to write it down, and quietly deleted it without saying a word. After removing it, the meaning of the whole article has not been affected in the slightest, and it ends with "that's it", but it also adds a bit of irony:

The so-called "apprenticeship" is actually such a simple thing. Such a simple and innocent thing can be used by everyone above the court to make a big fuss, which shows how weak your desire to learn has become? I'm afraid it has long been forgotten?

Li Xin's article was well chosen, perfectly answering all the doubts of the gang of powerful officials about Xu Jingchen's worship of him as a teacher-what? You say that Xu Jingchen is older than Li Xin, and it is abnormal to worship a brat like Li Xin as a teacher. Surely there is something ulterior motive?

I'm sorry, but the first sentence of the first paragraph of the opening article tells you: Therefore, there is no noble and no cheap, no long and no little, the existence of the Tao, and the existence of the teacher.

Also, you said that Li Xin was ignorant, uh, of course, no one said this clearly, but that was what he meant. Anyway, Chu Wang Li Xin is ignorant and incompetent, so he is not qualified to be a teacher to others. This is what the censors mean. However, Li Xin took out this "Teacher's Talk" backhandedly.

Oh my God. Who dares to say that a person who can write such articles is ignorant? Um? I asked, who dares to say? If you have the ability, stand up and write an article that is as good as heaven, and that will be your strength. If you can't, close your mouth quickly, stand upright, and continue to feel the burning pain coming from your face.

For a moment, the entire hall was silent. Just now they clamored for a thorough investigation of Li Xin, King of Chu, and the group of officials who thoroughly investigated Xu Jingchen all stood silently under the imperial steps with their heads down, pretending to be dead one by one.

Cui Yongquan lowered his head, clenched his teeth and rattled. He never expected that the emperor would still hide this trick—he would never believe that this "Teacher's Talk" was really written by Li Xin, an ignorant dude. right? hateful! Who is it that writes these articles? Could it be Chen Yin?

If he had proof of it now, he would not hesitate to announce it loudly. But he didn't. If he raises his doubts loudly at this moment, there is no need to ask, his end must be really dead-what a joke, the censor has the power to speak freely, but there must be a limit, okay? ?

His Majesty Li Er has already said that the article read by the servant is "Li Xin's defense written for himself". In other words, the emperor personally labeled this article as "written by Li Xin". In the absence of conclusive evidence, who dares to question that this article was not written by Li Xin? That's not questioning Li Xin at all, but the credibility of the great Li Er Majesty!

The power of the powerful families is huge, but that is after they formed a group. If any one of them dared to provoke the emperor, he would probably die.

Cui Yongquan is very aware of this.

He knew that he was just a death-defying pioneer waving the flag and shouting. Even if he died, no one would pity him, and the family would only push new and more powerful people to take his place. Therefore, since he has already seen that this operation has failed, it might not be a wise choice for him to admit defeat and wait for the fate of the most powerful person in the Tang Dynasty above him.
