The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 207 Mid-Autumn Festival (Part 2)

Ci Jun looked at the three-foot-nine-inch talent in "Guan Shan Yue" and said with a helpless smile: "There are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames. Fang Zhenguo, Fang Zhenguo, this nickname is really convincing. Taken orally, these two poems will soon conquer the country."

"Hmph, I want to see how they control their luck!" The old Confucius scholar snorted coldly.

For two consecutive poems, Fang Yun became the only focus of Surabaya Academy.

Some people recite two poems in a low voice obsessively, or discuss praises in a low voice, or explore allusive moods.

There were also a few people who observed Fang Yun and Gong Yangxun as if they were trying a case, suspecting that two people from Jingguo had joined forces to create an incident and set up a trap to promote the literary name.

Most people are convinced that Gong Yangxun is taking the opportunity to make things difficult for Fang Yun. Even the poet would not dare to help others write poems like this. If the poem is not done well, it will definitely be a scandal.

Liu Zizhi immediately smiled and said: "Fang Zhenguo is well-deserved! With the help of this poem, I have not lost the face of our Jingguo people. Thank you Fang Zhenguo for lending a helping hand. Zizhi is grateful! Many people from Jingguo came this time , I wonder if you can help me one by one. Brother Wu, you are a great talent in Jingdu, you don’t want Fang Yun to help because you are jealous of Fang Yun’s talent, right?”

I saw someone walking over with a smile and said, "Zizhi, why do you arrange me like this? Do I look like the kind of person who is jealous of others? Fang Maocai, if I ask you for help, will you help me?"

Fang Yun looked at Wu Juren with a smile and asked, "The Wu family, one of the eight wealthy families in Jingguo?"

"The surname is Wu, the name is Xing, and he is from the wealthy Wu family." Wu Xing said.

Fang Yun turned his head and said: "Brother Fan Ming, please help me remember that there is a Gongyang family, a Liu family, and a Wu family. I will write poems for these three families. I will have to ask for some money when I go to the capital in the future."

The atmosphere in the Sishui courtyard became more solemn, and many people had angry faces. The three people asking for poems went too far. Today's poetry meeting can continue, but after the poetry meeting is over, Fang Yun must settle this account clearly!

Li Fanming immediately said: "I've already written it down! When you finish asking for the wedding money, I'll ask for it too!"

Zuyuan He said on the side: "In a few days, I will go and beg my uncles and brothers to ask for some wedding money from friends of the Gongyang family in the holy courtyard."

The ram's patrol eyes flashed and he quickly regained his composure.

A person sitting behind a single table said: "I haven't had a literary competition in the Holy Courtyard for many days, so I will discuss it with my literary friends from the Gongyang family tomorrow."

Gong Yangxun's expression finally changed.

The Sishui courtyard was in an uproar. That person was from the Yasheng family and the nephew of the current head of the Zeng family. The inheritance of Zengzi and the Zeng family included "save yourself" and "be cautious in independence".

To be cautious and independent means to abide by your own ideas and behaviors even if you are alone and unsupervised. You must be polite and cautious in public such as the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is impossible to speak arrogantly, but the Gongyang Patrol Guards Such a Zeng family member was forced to talk about civil strife, which was almost to the point of being criticized by thousands of people.

Liu Zizhi was calmer than Gong Yangxun at the moment, and there was a determination in his eyes that no one else had.

Wu Xing looked at Gong Yangxun in embarrassment. Gong Yangxun squinted his eyes, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

Wu Xing sighed softly, reached into the cardboard box, and took out a piece of paper with two words written on it: Chang'e.

Wu Xing said with a guilty conscience: "Houyi shot the sun and Chang'e flew to the moon are ancient myths, and chanting the moon is a common sight. Unfortunately, I can't think of how to write a good poem at the moment, so I asked Fang Maocai to help me."

Fang Yun looked at Wu Xing, nodded, and said: ""Looking at the Moon and Huaiyuan" is about the moonrise, "Guanshan Moon" is about the moon traveling through the sky, and the third poem is about the scene of the setting moon, named For "Sigh of Chang'e", let the moon shine all night long!

After Fang Yun finished speaking, he picked up his pen to write.

The shadows of the candles on the mica screen are deep, and the stars are gradually sinking over the long river.

Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and her heart will be filled with blue sea and blue sky every night.

As soon as the great poet Li Shangyin's famous poem came out, his talent once again surpassed three feet, and the three Mid-Autumn Festival poems sang together in the state.

"Rustling..." The branches of the ancient tree swayed again, and the leaves continued to fall.

Ci Jun recited it with his tongue as before. When everyone heard the first two sentences, they knew he was writing about a night scene. The light and shadow of the candle fell on the mica screen, getting darker and darker, and the Milky Way and the stars in the sky began to fall together. Mingyue is no exception.

After listening to the last two sentences, everyone praised them in their hearts. They were about Chang'e regretting stealing Hou Yi's magic medicine to gain immortality, but in the end only the blue sea and blue sky accompanied her heart.

"One man's journey can last for a whole night and the moon is well worth it!" Ci Jun praised with a smile, full of joy.

The first person to write a love poem in the Tang Dynasty was none other than Li Shangyin. Once this poem was completed, most people were still immersed in Chang'e's regret, but many people had already seen the hidden intention of Fang Yun in this poem.

Fang Yun is determined to make Gong Yangxun, Liu Zizhi and other people who harmed him regret their lives like Chang'e!

Someone whispered it, and after a while it spread throughout the audience. Everyone recognized the allusion in the poem and looked at Fang Yun for proof.

Fang Yun put down his brush and looked around, as if standing out from the crowd, and finally looked at Liu Zizhi and Gong Yangxun.

"Who else!"

Fang Yun's voice was clear and exciting, like the sound of war drums and bugles, with great momentum. Behind the three words, there seemed to be thousands of troops standing. Gong Yangxun and Liu Zizhi were so frightened that they did not dare to look Fang Yun in the face.

No one responded.

The Grand Scholar Kong suddenly snorted and said: "The bright moon is bright, the presence of such an unworthy person is really insulting to the gentlemen! Get out!"

With a wave of his sleeve, a strong wind like a wave surged out. Liu Zizhi, Gong Yangxun and more than a dozen people were all blown out and landed heavily outside the door, in an extremely embarrassed state.

Everyone exclaimed in low voices, he was indeed a member of the Kong family. No matter what Gong Yangxun was, he was still the eldest son of the Semi-Saint family. Let him go if you told him to go away. Only the Kong family in the world had such courage.

Gongyang Xun looked gloomy, sighed, turned and left.

Liu Zizhi looked back at Fang Yun, then lowered his head, clenched his hands tightly into fists, and left in a hurry.

"The literature will continue." Confucius University scholar said.

However, no one came forward to write poems. Some were discussing the three poems, some were discussing the fierce battle between Jingguo and Qingguo, some were laughing at Gongyangxun for losing his mind, but there were still people exploring Gongyangxun. The deep meaning behind doing this.

Fang Yun put away the original manuscripts of the three poems and returned to the long table.

The dozen or so people at the same table were extremely excited and discussed Fang Yun's three poems intensely.

Fang Yun secretly thought about the attitude of the Gongyang family, and Li Fanming sighed in a low voice: "Oh, the Gongyang family is really making mistakes. At this moment, it should be closed to protect itself like the Ji family. How can it be so confused?"

"Self-preservation?" Fang Yun thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized that if the Gongyang family was really bent on being his enemy, after the "Three Character Classic" appeared on the front page of "Holy Way", the head of the Gongyang family would never personally give him the Hongyan Biography. The book invites him to participate in the literary gathering of Gongyang's family, and there is no need to embarrass him in a place like the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival. All forces will inevitably be mobilized to target him in Jingguo.

"So that's it. Eggs cannot be put in the same basket. There should be a dispute within the Gongyang family. The Gongyang family originally had good relations with the Qingguo Zajia and Zuo Xiang, but after the "Three Character Classic" was published on the front page of "Holy Way", Jingguo's status has greatly improved As a result, the power of the Qingguo Miscellaneous Family weakened, and there were different voices within the Gongyang Family. Therefore, the Gongyang Family leader first befriended me and did not stop Gongyang Xun from embarrassing me. In the end, no matter who wins or loses, the Gongyang Family will win. One party can be punished while the other party is protected.”

Fang Yun understood roughly in his heart.

"This is the tragedy of the declining Semi-Saint family. However, Gongyang Xun was not unjust at all when he was driven away. He probably represented the Gongyang family's opposition to me. He should have learned that I had a conflict with Mr. Fierce and decided that I There is no doubt that they will lose, so they rushed to take action in front of the Holy Ruins to show that the Gongyang family actually supports the Qingguo miscellaneous family. When the Qingguo annexes the Jingguo, they can smoothly integrate into the Qingguo family. "

Fang Yun was just thinking when he suddenly felt the surroundings quiet down, and then the entire Surabaya courtyard became quiet, and everyone in his sight was looking at him and his side.

Fang Yun turned around in confusion and saw Cijun looking at him with a smile and stood up hurriedly.

"Junior, I was lost in thought and didn't notice you coming. I hope Sir Ci will understand you." Fang Yun hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted. The other party was one of the four great talents of this generation and a bachelor. He had a good attitude toward him just now, so he couldn't neglect him. .

Ci Jun smiled and joked: "Are you thinking about the Jinshi Wenbao and the fake dragon beads?"

Everyone laughed.

Fang Yun blinked and asked, "Didn't you say that helping others doesn't count? Am I really qualified to get the lottery?"

Ci Jun immediately pointed at Fang Yun, turned around and smiled at the Confucian scholar and others: "Look at this Fang Maocai, he got an advantage and behaved well. Sirs, please tell me, if Fang Yun doesn't win the first place in this literary meeting, who dares to win?" ? Come on, who wants to stand up? I’ll ask Fang Yun to write three poems for you, including tomorrow’s sunrise and sunset!”

Many people laughed again.

Scholar Confucius said with a smile: "Three poems in succession are unheard of. If anyone steals this leader, I will drive him out first!"

The Ci Master said again: "Fang Yun, I am worried. You are going to the Holy Market tomorrow. Any of these three poems can compete for the top spot at the Holy Market Mid-Autumn Festival. You have written them today, what will you do tomorrow?"

"Let's talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow. Tomorrow will only come after today." Fang Yun said.

"You are open-minded. Today's Mid-Autumn Festival essay will open my eyes. I originally didn't want to attend tomorrow's Holy Market Mid-Autumn Festival Essay Meeting, but now I have changed my mind and must go! I will send a message to the other three people, asking them to come. Seeing this rare event. Fang Zhenguo, if your poetry is not as good as today, don’t blame the four of us for destroying you!" Ci Jun said with a smile.

Before Fang Yun could say anything, everyone became excited.

"Really? The four great talents will gather together tomorrow? Sir Cijun, please don't lie to us!"

"Except for the selection of the four great talents that year, the four great talents have never gathered together. So we have to wait today to avoid being too far away and not having a good seat!"

"Fang Yun, your three poems have summoned four great talents to gather together. It's really worth it!"

"Fang Mingzhou, why don't you just write another poem, put together four poems, and correspond to the four great talents one by one!"

"That's right! Write quickly, or we won't let you out of the gate of Surabaya Hospital!"

The crowd started to boo.

Fang Yun said with a smile: "I have to write a poem and essay for the Shengxu Literary Society no matter what. Tomorrow's poem will be the fourth one. In the name of the four great talents, how about it?"

"Okay!" Everyone cheered in unison.
