Happy Little Scholar

"The so-called debate on the classics is to use the scriptures as topics. Two people ask and answer questions. The questions are all from Confucian classics. The person being asked needs to explain the meaning. These classics include but are not limited to the Thirteen Classics. Qin Xiangyoun At that time, he was famous in Kyoto for his classic debates, but he could not compare with the great literary master of Qi. If you want to win, you not only need to be familiar with the principles of these classics, but you also need to have your own opinions, which is extremely difficult. " Emperor Jing. Looking at Li Yi, his eyes were a little strange.

"Really two months?" Li Yi asked again with some uncertainty.

"You have no joke." Emperor Jing nodded, half-smiling.

Li Yi touched his nose and said as if he was in a daze, "Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered that I seem to... understand a little bit about the meaning of the scriptures."

"You have to think about it. The total number of scriptures and meanings is enough to fill half a room. And the great Wenzong of Qi has been studying the scriptures and meanings all his life. Even a bachelor of Hongwenguan may not be able to master the scriptures and meanings. If you defeat him, I won't punish you. Just treat it as if I didn't say anything about allowing you to take Yongning out of the palace."

Li Yi secretly despised him in his heart. He just said something about Jun Wu, but in the blink of an eye he wanted to regret it. If he hadn't taken his identity into consideration, he would have spat out his contempt earlier.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. It just so happens that I am somewhat confident in the classics and principles." Li Yi looked at Emperor Jing and said with a smile.

A trace of seriousness finally appeared on Emperor Jing's face, "Are you serious?"

"Two months, is your Majesty also serious?" Li Yi said again.

Since it is a transaction, the chips must be confirmed again and again beforehand.

Emperor Jing thought for a while, nodded and said: "Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to pick you up. If you can win back another victory for me, I will raise your title to another level. I'm afraid that the county magistrate at such a weak age will be afraid of you." Kyoto will be shocked by this, what do you think?”

"I will go back and prepare first." The title is not important. If you are promoted to a higher level, you will be just a county uncle. It is far behind the Duke. Li Yi cupped his hands and was about to leave. He took two steps, as if he remembered something, and then Walked back.

"What else do you want?" Emperor Jing looked at him and asked.

"There are no requirements..." Li Yi looked a little confused, looked at Emperor Jing and asked, "I just want to ask Your Majesty, what are the Thirteen Classics...?"

"..."

"Did I really be too hasty this time?" Li Yi had already left for a while, and Emperor Jing rubbed his brows and asked with some suspicion.

"Your Majesty, may I allow this old servant to say something?" Changde, who had always been silent in front of Emperor Jing, suddenly said.

Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "There is no need to be polite between you and me."

Changde thought for a moment and said, "Does Your Majesty think County Master Li will agree to something that he is not sure about?"

Emperor Jing was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "From the time I started paying attention to him, until now, except for the incident of beating the King of Shu that surprised me, he has always been calm in doing things. He will not take risks easily if he is not 100% sure."

"In that case, your Majesty doesn't have to worry." Chang De said with a smile.

Emperor Jing thought for a moment, smiled on his face, and nodded: "I am too worried. Let's see tomorrow what kind of surprise he will give me, the civil and military officials of the dynasty, and the people of Jingguo..."

…

…

When they came back from Qinzheng Hall, they left a little of each rare meal for themselves. While eating, Li Yi asked Li Mingzhu: "How to get to Hongwen Hall?"

"What are you doing at Hongwen Hall?" Li Mingzhu asked with raised eyebrows.

Hongwen Museum is a national library. Most of the people in the library are old bachelors who manage and correct books. In her opinion, Li Yi does not seem to like people who like reading.

Li Yi glanced at him and said: "Your Majesty asked me to debate the scriptures with that great literary master tomorrow. I have to go and see what is being debated..."

Li Mingzhu's beautiful eyes widened: "Debate, you?"

"What's wrong with me?" Li Yi looked at him dissatisfied, "Don't look down on people. Who said that older people are more powerful? After all, this era is for young people. The waves behind you in the Yangtze River beat the waves in front, and the waves in front will die on the beach. You understand?"

Li Mingzhu frowned and said, "Are you serious? You have already won the battle of poetry and prose, so why bother trying to be brave again? When it comes to discussing classics and meanings, can you be better than the Prime Minister of Qin and the Great Scholar of Zhou?"

Li Yi snorted, "You will know how powerful I am later."

Li Mingzhu looked at him, with a look of suspicion on her face. She competed with Da Wenzong on the meaning of scriptures for no reason. This was definitely not his character. She looked at Li Yi and asked, "What benefits did your father give you?"

Li Yi put down his chopsticks, sighed, looked at her, and said seriously: "What good can it do? As a citizen of Jingguo, we must always take the revitalization of the country as our own responsibility. How can we ignore the honor and disgrace of the country? What can we do?" Stand up for the country at the critical moment, even if it means sacrificing yourself..."

"Father, have you agreed to be promoted to an official position?" Li Mingzhu asked again.

"There is no official promotion, just a promotion..."

…

…

Hongwen Pavilion, as a place where officials from the DPRK and Central Government retire, has always been relatively quiet. In addition to a few old bachelors, there are some servants who do chores. Occasionally, unpopular young officials are transferred here. , it didn’t take long for me to either resign myself or find a way to be transferred elsewhere, which shows how boring it is to work here.

Today's Hongwen Hall is not as peaceful as before. Several bachelors looked at the young people walking around in the hall from a distance, not reading books, but just touching randomly on the bookshelves, and they were confused.

"What's going on, Mr. Li?"

"Why did he come to our Hongwenguan? Her Royal Highness Princess is beside him?"

"What is he doing? There are all classics and articles stored there. If he is looking for books, why doesn't he flip through them? Could it be that he can remember all the contents of the book by touching it like this?"

"I don't know. I heard that this Li County Master suffers from some kind of hysteria. It seems that the rumors are true. Don't stimulate him, otherwise..."

Thinking of the miserable end of the King of Shu, several university scholars immediately stepped back more than ten steps.

"What are you doing?" Li Mingzhu, who was standing next to Li Yi, also looked strange and finally couldn't help asking.

"You don't understand. The competition will start tomorrow. You need to get familiar with it today..." Li Yi picked up another book while speaking. At the same time, a book on the cleaned bookshelf appeared in his mind. Li Yi put down the book and picked up another one...

"Familiar, familiar..."

Li Mingzhu looked at him and shook his head helplessly. No matter when and where, he always did things so unexpectedly that people couldn't guess at all.

However, looking at his appearance, I'm afraid he will have the confidence to win tomorrow.

Li Mingzhu shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Thinking that he would not finish for a while, he simply walked outside the hall to wait...

Hongwenguan was unusually quiet, with only a few footsteps from time to time, but outside the palace, in Kyoto, it had already been boiling because of a certain news.

County Master Li defeated Qi in today's poetry competition, winning back a city for Jingguo, and also made the people of Kyoto feel relieved.

The two poems he wrote in the Golden Palace had already been posted. The palindrome poems that could be read both forward and backward not only dazzled the eyes of countless people, but also immediately amazed countless literati. It turned out that poetry could be written like this!

In addition, some gossips that people talked about with relish also spread from various brothels in Kyoto.

For example, Zhao Xiuwen, who was known as "the best poet in a thousand years" in Qi State, did not write a single poem today. He immediately admitted defeat after seeing Li Xianzi's poems, admitted that he was "ashamed of himself", and asked for Li Xianzi's original manuscripts back...

Of course, some people also broke the news that Zhao Xiuwen was actually one of Li Xianzi's admirers of poetry. He carried Li Xianzi's poetry collection with him and could only fall asleep after reading Li Xianzi's poems several times at night...

For the people of Kyoto, what could be more satisfying than winning today's competition?

Of course there is.

That is, they must not only win, but also win beautifully, so that the people of Qi will be convinced, and this is what Li County Master did.

On this day, the haze and sorrow on the faces of the people in Kyoto were swept away, and there was no more depression in their hearts; on this day, the brothels in the capital were almost full, and the literati and officials chanted poems and tried their best to release their passion; on this day, countless boudoir girls, each holding a copy of "Ming Yue Ji", copied the latest "Huanxisha-Dragon Boat Festival" and recited "The beauty meets for a thousand years" with blushes on their faces...

On this day, Li Yi, the county master of Chang'an, was famous in Kyoto!
