Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 249: Mingyang Chang'an, don't fall for his scheme to sow discord between you!

"Heng, a gentleman has an end?"

"Which classic book does this come from?"

"Brother Liu, have you ever heard of it?"

"I'm sorry I have never heard of this..."

When Shao Lin asked this question, some scholars in the audience couldn't help but discuss it privately.

Some people think this sounds familiar, but because of their lack of knowledge and education, they simply forget it.

Some people have carefully thought about where this sentence came from.

At this moment, a sigh sounded, "You and I have studied poetry and books under the teacher for nearly ten years, but now we are not as good as this boy who is less than ten years old!"

"Ashamed, ashamed!"

Those with thin skin are already blushing, while those with thicker skin don't care.

"Every profession has its own specialty. Maybe he wasn't talking about the Confucian classics?"

“This sentence is indeed from the Confucian classics.”

"Oh?"

"Why?"

"Yi, Qian Gua!"

Qian Gua?

With the reminders from others, some scholars suddenly woke up.

That's right.

This is the Qian hexagram from the Book of Changes!
"incredible."

"Shao Yiren has taught a good grandson after all. At such a young age, he has even mastered the Yijing."

“It is indeed not to be underestimated.”

Gao Shilian stroked his beard and said, "At his age, you and I would probably still be studying the Analects, right?"

Wei Zheng waved his hand, "That's you, it has nothing to do with me."

Gao Shilian frowned, and then heard Fang Xuanling agree with a smile, "That's right, that's right."

Gao Shilian: “…”

Fang Xuanling poked Changsun Wuji and asked, "Assistant, what about you?"

Zhang Sun Wuji said helplessly: "Everything I learned was taught by my uncle. I can't make fun of my uncle like you guys do, right?"

Fang Xuanling was overjoyed.

Gao Shilian glared at Fang Xuanling and the other man, "You two old bastards are becoming more and more dishonest."

After saying that, Gao Shilian looked up at the little man on the stage and said, "After today, both Shao Lin and Lin Changqing from Shannan Road will become famous in Chang'an City."

Wei Zheng and the other two agreed with this.

Whose son is this?

Liu Mu quietly clenched his fists, feeling suspicious.

From responding to the previous questions to answering the hexagram questions now, it is simply not the knowledge that one should have at this age.

It seems like he came here specifically to fight in the ring.

I wonder if Lin Changqing can handle this move.

Liu Mu's concerned and nervous eyes kept scanning Lin Changqing's body. Haven't you remembered yet?

……

"Sir, what on earth is that kid talking about?"

In a restaurant a few dozen steps away from the ring, Sun Qiang asked doubtfully, "Is this also a quote from a Confucian classic?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "This is the meaning of the hexagrams in the Zhouyi Bagua."

Sun Qiang: "Young Master, do you also know how to tell fortunes?"

Su Chen said casually: "I have gained a little."

Sun Qiang: "How do you tell fortunes?"

Su Chen raised his hand and counted with his fingers, "Today is a good day, I will encounter the dusty pearl."

Sun Qiang had a strange look on his face, watching Su Chen's left thumb jumping on four fingers. Was this fortune telling?
Too perfunctory, right?
Li Xueyan whispered, "Why is my calculation different from Mr. Su's?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "You also know how to tell fortunes?"

Li Xueyan rolled her eyes at Su Chen and said, "I understand a little bit."

"So what did you figure out?"

"Big evil."

"..."

Su Chen thought about it and said, "That must be because you haven't learned enough skills."

Li Xueyan: “…”

at the same time.

On the stage, Lin Changqing's voice was heard, speaking calmly and unhurriedly.

"Humility hexagram, Kun on top, Gen on bottom!"

"Heng, a gentleman has an end."

"On the sixth day of the first month, a modest gentleman will cross a great river..."

He actually answered it.

Unbelievable.

A hint of astonishment flashed across Shao Yiren's eyes.

The students from Shannan Road brought by Liu Mu seemed to be quite different from the students taught by Cui Junsu and others.

Lu Hui sighed, "I never thought that these Shannan Road students would be so capable."

Yuan Chen: "It is indeed not to be underestimated."

“However, even if the two sides end up in a tie this time, Shao Lin’s name will surely resound throughout Chang’an City.”

“Becoming famous at a young age is something many people dream of.”

Shao Yiren shook his head and said nothing more.

In the arena.

Liu Mu almost jumped up with excitement.

he knows.

He actually knew Yi!

It’s done.

Today, no one can stop Shannan Road from becoming famous in Chang'an City.

After Lin Changqing finished speaking, Shao Lin couldn't help but show a trace of admiration on his face, "Brother Lin is indeed very talented, I admire you."

Lin Changqing said embarrassedly: "Actually, I don't know much about Yi, I just heard this from you, Mr.

"You answered it anyway."

Shao Lin cupped his hands, "As we said before, how about a draw?"

"it is good!"

Lin Changqing nodded.

Liu Mu calmed down and walked out. "The students in Chang'an City are indeed very talented. It is really surprising that Lin Changqing was able to achieve a tie this time."

"Student Officer Liao praised it."

Shao Lin looked calm, "The fact that Lin Changqing was able to answer this question is enough to prove that he is as knowledgeable as me. How can it be called luck?"

Liu Mu looked at him strangely, and Shao Lin bowed and said, "Goodbye."

He is neither arrogant when he wins nor discouraged when he loses. At such a young age, he has such a calm state of mind. This boy has a bright future.

Looking at Shao Lin's back as he walked off the stage, Liu Mu sighed in his heart.

"Grandpa, my grandson lost."

Coming in front of Shao Yiren, Shao Lin lowered his head and said.

"You didn't lose."

Shao Yiren rubbed Shao Lin's head with a smile, "You are already very good, but there are always people better than you, so you should be humble and concentrate on your studies."

Shao Lin: "Grandson understands."

At this time.

Liu Mu's voice was heard on the ring.

"Is there any student from Chang'an City who wants to try to go on stage?"

As Liu Mu's voice fell, the crowd became noisy again, and after a moment a young man stepped onto the stage.

no doubt.

Shao Lin set a good example for the students in Chang'an City.

It was also through a round of academic competitions that they were able to roughly understand the true level of Lin Changqing and others.

Very strong.

Without a certain level of knowledge, one would not dare to take the initiative to go on stage.

But unfortunately, Lin Changqing is very powerful, and his friends all have unique skills.

If Shao Lin is one of the few outstanding students among the many students in Chang'an City, then Lin Changqing and a dozen others are the few outstanding students in the entire Shannan Road!

Moreover, they are carefully selected!

In the face of talent, 100% effort is in vain.

After three people were defeated in succession, the onlookers fell silent.

Among the students who took the stage, there were not only young men who had been well-read since childhood, but also children from scholarly families.

They all lost!
Is the new enlightenment really that powerful?

In just half a year, these students have reached such a terrifying level?

No wonder the prince was so determined to promote new enlightenment studies!
"Su Chen really has a good method."

Kong Shaoxin sighed, "He carefully taught the child prodigies we eliminated and brought them all to Chang'an City."

"How can an ordinary student be a match for these people?"

Lu Chengsi: "It's really not surprising."

Kong Shaoxin glanced at Lu Chengsi coldly, "Whether it was an accident or not, you should know it by heart!" Lu Chengsi frowned, "Kong Shaoxin, what do you mean by this?"

"Could it be that you are doubting me and deliberately told Su Chen about these eliminated prodigies so that he could train them secretly, just to become famous today?"

Kong Shaoxin: "I don't mean anything, but you should think about how to explain it to your family!"

Lu Chengsi frowned, Kong Shaoxin: "I will record the details of this trip to Chang'an and send it back to Henan Province!"

Lu Chengsi had a blank expression on his face: “I said, the reason why Su Chen gave me gold, silver and jewelry is because he wanted to marry the daughter of the Lu family!”

"hehe!"

Kong Shaoxin sneered repeatedly.

……

In the arena.

Liu Mu is in high spirits!

Except for Shao Lin who tied, the rest of them lost without exception.

What could be more exciting than this?
Even Liu Mu couldn't help but want to shout, who else!
however.

No matter how excited you are, you still have to give face.

"The students in Chang'an City are all very talented and worthy of admiration. My students from Shannan Road only won a few games by luck."

"I know that not many students came today, and the real students haven't shown up yet."

"Once the prodigy in Chang'an City shows up, the students of Shannan Road will be defeated."

"It's getting late now. If we continue like this, I'm afraid the officers led by Lord Lu will have trouble maintaining law and order."

"That's all for today. Tomorrow we will confirm your studies with all the students."

Liu Mu smiled and bowed, then walked down the stage with Lin Changqing and others.

Coming in front of Lu Chengqing, Liu Mu smiled and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Lord Lu."

Lu Chengqing said with a smile: "Your Shannan Dao has become famous today."

"Mr. Lu, thank you. It's just luck. It's just luck."

Liu Mu couldn't hide the smile on his face. "Master Lu, if you have nothing else to do, why don't we have dinner together later?"

"No."

Lu Chengqing shook his head, turned to look at the crowd, and said helplessly: "Your performance today is extremely eye-catching. The students in Chang'an City are outshined by you."

"Look at the way they look at you. They want to rush up to you and have a closer look with you."

"I'd better evacuate them as soon as possible, and you should take them away as soon as possible."

"But how many days do you want to practice?"

"Three days."

Liu Mu gave the exact number.

If they won today and turned around and ran away, the students and people in Chang'an City would definitely be extremely angry and unwilling to accept the outcome.

Therefore, they will spread the word by word of mouth and attract the strongest students to come and compete.

At that time, even if you lost, you could still feel proud.

At least.

It will not bring shame to the students of Changan.

The sedan chair was carried by everyone.

Only by complementing each other can we last.

Lu Chengqing smiled thoughtfully, "If that's the case, then I'll have to go to Shannan Road one day and ask for a drink."

"It should."

Liu Mu cupped his hands and said, "When Lord Lu comes to Shannan Road someday, the prefect will accompany him personally."

"Good good."

Lu Chengqing nodded, clasped his hands, and turned around: "Today ends here. If there are still students who want to verify their studies, come back tomorrow."

"Please don't gather here, blocking the street and making it difficult for others to walk."

"It's all gone."

……

"Is this the end?"

"How about that?"

"The true prodigy in our Chang'an City has not yet come out to fight!"

"No, it can't end like this!"

"How can we, the students of Chang'an, put our reputations aside?"

"..."

Lu Chengqing shouted, "If you are not satisfied with today's competition, you can come and verify it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!"

"The students from Shannan Road will leave in two days!"

"You have plenty of time!"

Two more days?

After hearing what Lu Chengqing said, everyone suddenly became more motivated.

We must severely dampen the morale of the students at Shannan Road within these two days!
"Go for a walk."

"Let's go find someone!"

"Yes, we can't let Shannan Dao leave so triumphantly!"

The crowd gathered and dispersed after talking about it.

But there is no doubt that Shannan Dao taught them a hard lesson today!
If they don't defeat the students from Shannan Road within two days, how can they dare to say that they are students from Chang'an when they go out to study?
Don't want your face?
Su Chen and Li Xueyan walked side by side and walked out of the restaurant.

Wei Zheng pointedly pulled Gao Shilian aside and asked, "Isn't that Su Chen?"

"Yes."

Gao Shilian stroked his beard and nodded, "What's wrong?"

Wei Zheng: "Is the girl next to him the apple of King Jiangxia's eye?"

"nature."

"its not right……"

Wei Zheng frowned and said, "Wasn't there a rumor before that Su Chen was going to marry the daughter of the Lu family, and the princess cried bitterly, and King Jiangxia was furious?"

Fang Xuanling patted Wei Zheng's shoulder with a smile, "Did you see it?"

Wei Zheng: “……?”

hiss!
Wei Zheng suddenly figured out the key to this and couldn't help but clench his fists. "This bastard really needs to be punished."

Zhang Sun Wuji: "He is indeed very resourceful."

"Hey, what is he doing towards Lu Chengsi?"

Gao Shilian stroked his beard and smiled, "The rumor is about to be broken."

Wei Zheng: "Is he trying to break the rumor? Is he going to see a joke?"

Fang Xuanling laughed and suggested, "Ignore them, let's go back and drink and play cards."

Wei Zheng nodded, but as if he had thought of something, he covered his pocket and said, "Are you out of money, old man?"

Fang Xuanling: "What nonsense!"

……

"Su Chen!"

"Mr. Lu?"

Su Chen looked surprised and quickly bowed, "I never thought I would meet Mr. Lu here."

Lu Chengsi looked furious: "Didn't expect that?"

Su Chen smiled and nodded, as if he remembered something, and introduced: "Mr. Lu, let me introduce you, this is the daughter of King Jiangxia, Princess Li Xueyan."

Lu Chengsi's eyes became even sharper, like a pair of sharp blades, trying to pierce Su Chen into a hedgehog.

"Who is this gentleman?"

"Kong family, Kong Shaoxin."

"I have admired my name for a long time, I have admired my name for a long time."

Su Chen said with a serious expression, "I have always admired the children of the Kong family. I never thought that I would be able to meet someone from the Kong family today."

Kong Shaoxin smiled with a fake smile: "But, didn't Master Su say earlier that my Kong family has been practicing surrender for generations and will always be traitors?"

Su Chen: "Isn't it?"

Su Chen's close-range attack stunned Lu Chengsi and Li Xueyan.

Don't hit people in the face, let alone hitting them in person like this. Isn't that a bit too much?
Kong Shaoxin's eyes twitched, "Su Chen, you are so insolent!"

Su Chen spread his hands and said, "Mr. Lu, you shouldn't associate with such people."

Lu Chengsi: “???”

Su Chen: "As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Associating with such people will only lower your status."

Lu Chengsi's face darkened. This was already an indirect scolding of him.

"Su Chen, what do you mean by being with the princess now?"

"Means nothing."

Su Chen smiled and said, "However, I would like to thank Mr. Lu for his help before."

Kong Shaoxin suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Chengsi.

Lu Chengsi: "Don't talk nonsense, when have I ever helped you?"

Su Chen slapped his lips repeatedly, looking apologetic, "Yes, yes, Mr. Lu, I was too talkative, you never helped me."

"I have an appointment with the princess, so I'll take my leave now."

Damn!

What nonsense are you talking about?
Lu Chengsi gritted his teeth. Isn't this just making things worse?

As soon as he turned his head, Lu Chengsi saw Kong Shaoxin's cold gaze, which was chilling.

"I never helped him! Don't fall for his scheme to sow discord between you!"

"Whether it is a plot to sow discord or not, others will decide!"
