Zhang Zongshi sighed, "Zhang Longxiang is finally going to receive his public display of affection."
Many of the scholars present looked at Zhang Zongshi in surprise. These words were an insult to Zhang Longxiang to be the Qing Emperor's dog. However, after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Longxiang was not Xusheng. He was just a scholar, so the Hall of Rites would not pursue the matter. If Zhang Longxiang became a great scholar and Zhang Zongshi said so, the Hall of Rites would send people to investigate.
After Zhang Zongshi finished speaking, he realized that he had misspoken and said self-deprecatingly, "Even Zhang Mingzhou had to submit a letter of allegiance to the Saint Origin World. I also had to learn from him and submit a letter of allegiance to the Governor."
Everyone smiled. They originally thought that Zhang Zongshi was being rude, but after he laughed at himself, they felt that it was nothing.
"It seems that the meeting before the literary competition will be interesting."
"The Qing Emperor is indeed ruthless. The first time he met Fang Xusheng, he suffered a loss. The second time he met Fang Xusheng, he immediately caused trouble. Now that Zhang Longxiang has become an official of Gyeongo, I wonder how the Qing Emperor will ridicule Fang Xusheng. "
"This move of removing the firewood from under the cauldron is truly ingenious. It is killing many birds with one stone. Since Zhang Longxiang is an official of Gyeongo, as long as he defeats Fang Xusheng in the literary competition, it means that Gyeongo has defeated Jingguo. All the previous incidents of Fang Xusheng suppressing Gyeongo in literary competition will vanish. "
"This is bad!" Zhang Zongshi suddenly exclaimed with a serious expression.
"Brother Zhang, what is it?"
Zhang Zongshi revealed a worried expression and said, "Since Zhang Longxiang has joined Gyeongo, after this literary competition with Fang Xusheng, regardless of whether he wins or loses, he can directly go to the north and fight the grassland barbarians. Then, he can imitate Fang Xusheng and issue a challenge to Fang Xusheng to fight the demonic barbarians to determine the victor."
"If Brother Zhang can think of this, then the officials of Gyeongo must have thought of it as well. This is very likely to happen!"
"To the demon world, Fang Xusheng is more important than Zhang Longxiang. If both of them go to the north, the barbarians will kill Fang Xusheng at all costs. Zhang Longxiang is relatively safer."
"Yes. I have heard of the Left's party. It's true, many officials of the Noto Nobility to fight the barbarians to to fight the demonic barbarians....... However, this caused caused many disof the Noto...... to to '''s to's to fight to the demonic barbarians to the north to fight.... but..
"There are indeed such rumors. The appointment of Fang Xusheng as the Governor of the two prefectures was also the idea of many of the elders of the Sacred Academy. Many of the aristocratic families also contributed as they did not want Fang Xusheng to fight the grassland barbarians in the north."
.. "" Sigh … now we can only hope that Zhang Longxiang still has a conscience. "
Zhang Zongshi stood up and cupped his hands at the people present. "I'm worried about Fang Xusheng. I can't sit still, so I'll go to Yueyang Tower in advance."
Hearing this, everyone felt dejected. Zhang Zongshi had been certain that Fang Xusheng would win.
Seeing Zhang Zongshi leave, some of the scholars followed him.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Wenyou House, which had been buzzing with activity, became cold and cheerless.
Seeing this, the manager of the restaurant handed over the restaurant to the waiter and rode a carriage to Yueyang Tower.
Among the people heading to Yueyang Tower, the Qi people of the "Tower Competition Society" were chatting and laughing, constantly discussing what had happened in Baling.
"Li Fanming, you're not honest!"
"What's wrong with me?" Li Fanming asked as he walked with the big rabbit on his back.
The big rabbit was lying on Li Fanming's back, taking an afternoon nap. It was actually snoring softly, its two ears gently swaying.
"You're clearly a member of the Battle of Buildings Society, yet you helped Fang Yun to tell Nie Changju to get out of Elephant Province. If you hadn't done that, I think Nie Changju would've been condemned by everyone a few days later."
Li Fanming laughed dryly and said, "That's because I couldn't help it. Next time I'll pay attention, I'll definitely pay attention."
Someone laughed and said, "I hope that when Zhang Longxiang and Fang Xusheng compete in literature, you won't lose control."
"Although Zhang Longxiang's poem was too flattering and my good impression of him has completely disappeared, I still can't wait for the two of them to compete in literature."
"Don't worry, this kind of thing can't be rushed. Not to mention that the competition will officially start when the moon appears, just based on Zhang Longxiang's habits, the matter between the two of them is not over. How can it be compared in literature? "Magistrate Yao said with a smile.
"Zhang Mingzhou's habits? What do you mean? "Li Fanming looked curiously at Magistrate Yao.
"Have you all forgotten? Zhang Longxiang has always liked to write poems continuously. In the past, when he fought back against the Lumen Army in the literary world, he wrote from "One Poem of the Lumen Army" to "Four Poems of the Lumen Army". It was said that Marquis Lumen was so angry that he slammed the table and shouted that there was no end to it. No one knew if it was true or not. After that, on the march of the Lumen Army, Zhang Mingzhou would write a poem to ridicule the Lumen Army every time he arrived at a place. So much so that Marquis Lumen had no choice but to stop him from writing poems. Otherwise, he would have been able to write poems all the way to Mount Two Boundaries. That's why I said that there was no end to this matter. "
Li Fanming said, "What you said is very reasonable. I'll send a letter to Fang Yun right now and ask him to be on guard!"
Magistrate Yao pointed at Li Fanming and smiled at the crowd. "Look at this traitor!"
Everyone laughed.
Fang Yun sat in the carriage. After reading Li Fanming's letter, he smiled and took out Zhang Longxiang's official seal. He opened the list and began to write a poem.
The people of the Contending Building Society were making fun of Li Fanming. Magistrate Yao suddenly said, "Zhang Mingzhou is writing a poem again! It's called "Climbing the Yueyang Tower". I'm afraid he has already climbed the city walls of Baling City! "
The people nearby hurriedly took out their official seals to read the list. At the top of the list was Zhang Longxiang's new poem. The second one was "Viewing the Dongting Lake to the Emperor of Qing".
I heard of the Dongting Lake in the past, and now I'm climbing the Yueyang Tower.
Wu, Chu, Southeast, and South, Heaven and Earth float day and night.
Friends and relatives have no words, the old and sick have a lonely boat.
Military horses pass the mountains and pass the mountains, flowing with snot and tears.
Li Fanming originally read the poem with a critical attitude. He wanted to help Fang Yun attack Zhang Longxiang. However, after reading it, he was speechless.
The rest of the scholars of Qi State were also shocked. Some even read it several times in a row. Even Magistrate Yao read it in a low voice.
A person said, "The older the ginger, the spicier it is. Magistrate Yao is far more accurate than us in judging people. Zhang Longxiang began to climb the Yueyang Tower after seeing the Dongting Lake. Now it seems that the connection between the two poems is very natural. It was difficult for people to guess it before. "
"Everyone, do you think this poem can be used to guard the country?"
"This poem has the characteristics of Mingzhou. It is still a distance away from guarding the country. However, it has steadily surpassed the" Viewing the Dongting Lake to the Emperor of Qing ". In the past, only Fang Xusheng's poem with the same name, "Climbing the Yueyang Tower", written when he first came to Baling City, can be compared with this poem. "Magistrate Yao answered truthfully.
"Eh? I only paid attention to the poem before, but forgot the title. Since Fang Xusheng also wrote a poem with the same name, Zhang Longxiang's competitive intention has been revealed. "
"I remember that Fang Xusheng's poem," Climbing the Yueyang Tower ", goes:" Viewing the Yueyang Tower at the end of the tower, the Dongting Lake opens. The wild geese lead the sorrowful heart away, the mountains and the moon come. Between the clouds, we get off the bed, the sky receives the wine cup. After getting drunk, the cool wind blows, blowing the sleeves back. "
"The two poems have different styles and are difficult to compare. Fang Xusheng's poem is beautiful and open-minded. Beautiful scenery, beautiful time, and beautiful things. Zhang Mingzhou's poem continues his usual style of grief and indignation. In fact … if we don't connect this poem with the previous one, I'm afraid that this poem is slightly better than Fang Xusheng's poem. However, if we connect it with the previous one, it seems to be a bit inferior. "
Magistrate Yao nodded gently and said, "I think so too. That's why I feel that this poem can't guard the country. However, if we don't consider other factors and don't involve the competition between the two countries, this poem is really a good one. Li Fanming, aren't you very talkative? Why don't you say it now? Tell me. "
