I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 229 A Gentleman Needs Virtue
"One of my cousins, whose son used to be the chief bookkeeper in Shiyang County, speaking, is also related to the incident of demons and demons in Shiyang County at that time."

Wang Ye started talking right away, and the people around him all looked a little surprised when they stopped, and He Shilin also nodded and listened.

"At that time, I heard that Song Mu was a blockbuster, and on that night when demons and demons were in trouble, he actually wrote such a poem of nine fighting talents, which stirred up the whole world, and even aroused the inscription of his ancestor's great Confucianism, which turned his hands into clouds in an instant."

Wang Ye said calmly, with almost no setbacks on his face, but the faces of everyone who heard all this lit up.

They have heard a lot about Song Mu, but Song Mu's achievements are too dazzling, and he has been named in "Tianxia Wenkan" six times in a row. Such achievements can be said to be enviable.

But that's all, and little is known about the rest.

Even today, when several instructors met, they talked to each other about Song Mu.

Xiao Li, who was sitting on the side, looked the most frustrated at the moment. After all, apart from this matter, he also knew a shocking secret.

If they knew that the "Three Character Classic" was written by Song Mu, and now they have a collection of several "Three Character Classic" rubbing stones, they must jump up immediately.

It's just that there is already an order on this matter, unless the court announces it, I can only rot in my heart.

So now listening to these words, Xiao Li's expression is somewhat awkward, but he also smiles frequently.

Wang Ye also seemed to have opened up the topic in an instant, and at the moment, the courageous instructor asked a few words, and Wang Ye also took up the conversation with a smile.

"After that incident, my nephew had already been sent to the western frontier to be the master bookkeeper. He sent me a parting letter, but he also said about Song Mu, and he said that in the future, he would surely soar into the sky."

Wang also said so immediately, and the expression on his face was somewhat relieved.

"Sure enough, the things after that are also going up step by step."

He Shilin nodded while supporting his beard, but he still asked,

"Could it be these things that made Mr. Wang pay attention to Song Mu?"

Wang also heard it, but he waved his hand at the moment, and then said a little dumbfounded.

"I'm not afraid that you adults will laugh at me. My daughter was engaged to the son of the owner of Yingxuefang last year. On the Qixi Festival a few days ago, my daughter received a poem from Mr. Xu."

Hearing what the other party said, everyone felt a little embarrassed. After all, it seems a little inappropriate to mention this matter of boudoir here.

But this matter is still related to Song Mu, which made everyone listen a little bit.

However, all the officials who knew the inside story looked calm, and this engagement was one of the few benevolent aspects of the king.

"My little girl got a poem from Mr. Xu, and I read that poem, but it surprised me."

Wang also said so, and seemed to deliberately raise his head to look at He Shilin.

"Everyone should know that Mr. Xu's family has never been good at poetry, otherwise he would have been a scholar long ago."

Sure enough, He Shilin's face was a little displeased when he heard these words, and he thought of Xu Yuncai's crooked poetry when he first came to Jiangnan West Road, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.

Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, but the king continued to speak.

"Although it is a love poem, I have to say that it is very well accomplished, it is simply the best among Qixi poems. If it is spread in the future, it may also be a good story."

Saying so, Wang also stretched out his hand, and the ink next to the erected wooden board in the distance suddenly danced out of thin air, danced on a piece of white paper on it in an instant, and then slowly gathered into a poem.

It is Song Mu's "Magpie Bridge Immortal".

"This is the poem Mr. Xu gave to my little girl, please take a look."

Everyone was surprised when they heard it, and when they looked over there, they also let out a sudden exclamation when they saw the "how could it be day and night" on the top.

"It's really a good poem! It's really touching." Several instructors said immediately.

Seeing this situation at the moment, He Shilin was somewhat displeased, perhaps thinking that it was a little too outrageous for everyone to talk about a love poem again.

So at that moment, He Shilin snorted softly and spoke.

"Then why does Lord Wang know that this is what Song Mu did?"

Hearing He Shilin's question, Wang Ye smiled, and then spoke.

"I've already asked. Mr. Xu happened to recognize Song Mu in the past few days, and he even visited him once, so he came out quite excitedly at that time."

Hearing these words, everyone was a little stunned, and someone said it immediately.

"This Song Mu is indeed very accomplished in poetry. He wrote very good poems in the college examination before, and even attracted Du Sheng's phantom to come,"

"I heard that Du Sheng tried his best to let him enter Du's School of Poetry, but he never agreed."

Saying that, everyone looked at Xiao Li who was next to him, and Xiao Li also grinned. This is indeed the case. Back then, he and others felt that Song Mu had lost a good opportunity.

But Wang Ye shook his head at this moment.

"No, this person is quite ambitious. Speaking of this time, I also want to see what kind of poems the other party can make."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a sudden movement on the altar in the examination room,

I only saw an azure literary star on the second floor, emitting a cyan light at this moment, rippling towards the surroundings.

"The literary star is just starting to move, so someone has written a brilliant article?"

In a word, the eyes of a group of officials were immediately attracted back to the examination room.

……

In the examination room, Song Mu had just finished drafting the first few questions of the classics and meanings in his mind. At this moment, he was thinking hard about how to write this part of the question, but suddenly felt a movement around him.

Song Mu raised his gaze, also looked towards the field, and couldn't stop nodding in his heart.

This township examination is not the scene of the courtyard examination, and it is even more hidden dragons and crouching tigers. It is only noon now, and someone has written a talented article.

Song Mu sighed secretly at the moment, and then devoted himself to his own exam questions.

The twists and turns of today's scripture question made Song Mu feel a little uncomfortable, and the last question really exhausted Song Mu's thoughts.

Finally, Song Mu came to a rough conclusion about all this, and then he picked up his pen.

Immediately, Song Mu began to write ink on the draft paper.

"In ancient times, those who wished to manifest virtue in the world first ruled their country; those who wanted to rule their country first ordered their families; those who wanted to order their families first cultivated their own bodies."

Song Mu immediately wrote a line on the draft paper in front of him, which was a sentence from Dai Sheng's "Book of Rites University", but at the moment he didn't understand it.

In fact, this sentence can be described as the ultimate suture monster. The three characters of "De Runshen" come from "Great Learning", the five characters of "Self-cultivation leads to Dao Li" come from "The Doctrine of the Mean", and "Ping Tianxia" should come from "The Great Learning" written by Dai Sheng in the Western Han Dynasty. Book of Rites·University”.

The person who made the question put these few sentences together, and then came up with a new truth.

Nourishing the body with virtue can cultivate the body and cultivate the character, and then Confucianism and Taoism can be established. Because of Confucianism and etiquette in the heart, the world can be peaceful.

In a word, in the end, it is actually saying that a gentleman needs to cultivate virtue.

Morality, but this Confucianism is the most important thing besides learning and etiquette, but the content it covers is wide enough, and there is enough content from any angle of entry.

Song Mu has been thinking about this for too long, from childhood virtues to great virtues, from self-virtue and other virtues, thinking hard, but at this moment, there is a sliver of enlightenment in his heart.

At that moment, Song Mu wrote another sentence on the draft paper.

"A gentleman pursues morality and practice, and he wants to do it in time."
