Hearing Guo Yongxin's words, Chen Qingtong suddenly realized that the feeling of being blocked and panicked before was not an illusion.

Faced with the doubts of other ladies, Guo Yongxin can trust Shen Yichen as much as she does. This cannot be explained by simple appreciation.

Sure enough, many times, women's intuition is very accurate.

But Chen Qingtong didn't understand why Guo Yongxin had a crush on Shen Yichen, since the two had obviously never had any interactions.

On the Young Master's side, faced with Shen Yichen's rampant provocation, many people could no longer hold it in any longer. If it weren't for the reason of today's occasion, there would probably be many people who wanted to take action.

At this time, Xu Donghai stood up and said: "Shen Yichen, do you really think that because you have won the first case, your literary talent is unparalleled in the world?"

Shen Yichen glanced at the person who came and seemed to have seen him in the examination room before. By the way, when he went to Zhaowen Academy to visit his teacher, this kid also jumped out once.

Shen Yichen didn't know why this person kept holding on to her. If he couldn't get rid of him, he would have to ask him to shut up.

"I don't know if I am the best in the world, but I know I should be better than you."

Shen Yichen said this with full confidence. He had been the first in the county examination and the government examination twice, and he had beaten the opponent every time. Why can't he be said to be better than him?

Hearing these words, Xu Donghai's lungs almost exploded with anger. The most frustrating thing for him in the past six months was that Shen Yichen always failed in the imperial examination.

There is also the humiliating feeling of being ignored by the other party that day at Zhaowen Academy, which always surrounds my heart.

Today, Shen Yichen was despised in front of everyone again. Shen Yichen was simply too much!

"Oh, better than me? If it weren't for Duke Cheng, how could you be the first to win the case? How could all the members of Duke Cheng's family be successful? Don't you have any idea in your heart?"

Such remarks that directly pointed at the other party's imperial examination fraud were related to the Duke of Chengguo and the officials in charge of the examinations. Previously, discussions among the princes and literati were in private.

In particular, Xu Donghai himself was considered a son of an official. Standing behind him was Xu Qi, the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, so he had to be even more cautious in his words and deeds.

It's just that Xu Donghai was still young after all, so despite his anger, he ignored it and directly exposed the suspicion of fraud in the imperial examinations in Chengguo Gongfu's private school in front of everyone.

Now it is almost impossible to settle the matter peacefully and end it peacefully.

"Xu Donghai, if you have any questions, it's okay, but don't bring any relatives of Duke Cheng Guo with you."

After Zhu Ji heard this, he had to stand up and give a warning, but the profound meaning of his words was worthy of consideration by everyone present.

First of all, Zhu Ji actually affirmed Xu Donghai's suspicion of fraud, which meant that he was letting go of personal attacks on Shen Yichen. Another point was that he emphasized not to bring relatives of Duke Cheng Guo with him. This is a must for the son of Duke Cheng Guo. things to do.

At the same time, another point was brought out. In fact, Shen Yichen was not a clan member of the Chengguo Palace, which meant that he was not really a clan member.

If those who were dissatisfied before were still a little wary of Zhu Ji and the forces of the Chengguo Palace behind him, now his words are equivalent to leaving Shen Yichen alone.

As long as you don't drag me into the government of Chengguo, you can do whatever you want.

Now the public opinion that had been suppressed was instantly detonated.

"How dare a criminal who relied on the power of his ancestors claim to be talented?"

"Shen Yichen, others are afraid of your identity, but I am not afraid of you. I will expose your true face today!"

“People who are seeking fame and reputation still dare to speak nonsense?”

"I will report it to Confucianism in the future and deprive you of the title of head of the case."

Feeling the anger of the people present and unable to restrain himself, Zhang Qi stood in front of Shen Yichen and said: "Brother, why don't you run away first, I will come to the rear!"

In Zhang Qi's eyes, Shen Yichen boasted too much this time and aroused public outrage, so a beating was probably inevitable.

With my wide body and fat body, I blocked the crowd and bought him some time to run away, and maybe he could avoid a flesh-and-blood meal.

Seeing Zhang Qi's posture, Zeng Mengjian realized that Shen Yichen was about to run away, so he shouted: "Block the garden gate, don't let this kid escape!"

Having had the experience of being slapped in the face by Shen Yichen several times, Zeng Mengjian has learned to be smarter now and doesn't dare to be the one who stands out anymore.

But this doesn't mean that he has chosen to surrender.

It's nothing more than turning an open fight into a secret revenge. Just like now, Zeng Mengjian would not take the initiative to take the lead in provocation, but Zeng Mengjian was not willing to miss the opportunity to beat the loser.

Seeing that everyone outside was about to take action, Wei Guogong Xu Xianzong could not sit still. If there was any bloody incident, he, the host, would not be able to lose face if word spread.

Chen Qingtong on the other side was also extremely anxious. She wanted to rush out of the gauze curtain and help Shen Yichen.

It's just that she is a little girl and can't do anything in front of everyone, and due to etiquette, if Chen Qingtong makes an impulsive move and angers his father, I'm afraid he will never want to see Shen Yichen again in the future.

After much deliberation, since I couldn't help myself, I had no choice but to ask my father for help.

Just when Chen Qingtong was about to go to Jingmiao Hall, Guo Yongxin beside him took the lead and ran towards Jingmiao Hall. It was obvious that her thoughts were the same as his own.

At this time, Chen Qingtong could no longer care about anything else and followed Guo Yongxin. The two of them rushed in front of the ministers one after another.

Xu Xianzong, Duke of Wei in Jingmiao Hall, was about to call the servants in the palace to maintain order, but he saw two little girls running in panting, and felt a little baffled.

"Yongxin, you look so flustered, you don't look like a lady!"

Before Wei Guogang could say anything, the Marquis of Cheng'an, Guo Sheng, saw his daughter in such a state and opened his mouth to scold her, which was really inappropriate.

"Dad, my daughter saw some commotion among the young men in the garden and was worried that something might happen, so she came here to seek help."

"My father and all the ministers are here, why do I need you to worry about a girl's family?"

As soon as Guo Sheng finished speaking, Chen Qingtong asked Marquis Taining for help: "Dad, brother Yichen is in danger now, please help him."

Hearing what his daughter said, Taining Marquis Chen Ying's face turned dark. He never expected that half a year of confinement had passed, but his daughter had not changed at all, and she still could not forget Shen Yichen, the maid who gave birth to a son.

Originally Wei Guogong was a little confused as to why the two Miss Xunqi were so anxious. When he heard Chen Qingtong say the words "brother Yichen", he instantly understood that these two people were worried about Shen Yichen.

But what followed was even greater doubts. How could Shen Yichen be so virtuous and able to make the two marquis' daughters so worried?

"No need to help, just take a look at the garden. Shen Yichen has his own solution."

Xu Qi, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, who had been watching, finally spoke. Following his words, everyone in the garden had already cleared a path, and Shen Yichen was walking towards the public notice board.

I saw him taking the rice paper and ink pen from the servant, and then directly pasted the rice paper on the bulletin board. Then he started writing Feng Lei, and the artistic fonts appeared on the paper.

"Sword Like a Rainbow"

"The wind comes from nowhere, from north to south, east and west, and the sea of ​​talents is empty."

"The case of young people with great ambitions and becoming famous, looking back on the fame behind them in old age."

"Only when I was granted the title of Marquis and paid homage to Qi Lian, I was filled with anger."

"The golden sword, the iron horse, and the Zen barrier are broken, and the beauty is like the jade sword and the rainbow."

This poem originally came from "Sitting at Night No. 2" written by Gong Zizhen of the Qing Dynasty. It describes his depression of not being able to realize his talent, his ambition of running a country and his failure to realize it, and his hope that one day he can display his great talent.

However, except for borrowing the original sentence "Beauty is like jade, sword is like rainbow", Shen Yichen changed almost the entire poem, and the description of the artistic conception was completely changed.

The meaning expressed in the first two sentences is that the reason why rumors can spread all over the world is because he looked at the world and found that there was no talent left.

And rumors start from conspirators, thrive from fools, and end with wise men. You people use imperial examination fraud to attack me, which is enough to prove that no one is a talent, and they are all stupid idiots!

The second paragraph is easier to understand. I was young and ambitious to seize the case. What controversy, fame, and achievements can only be finalized when I look back in my old age. Why do you say that I am now a person who deceives the world and steals my reputation?

The third sentence magnifies the pattern and no longer cares about what others say. It expresses that only by conferring a title outside the Qilian Mountains can the world understand this talented and soul-stirring poem.

Among them, the Qilian Mountains quoted from the "Song of the Huns" "The loss of my Qilian Mountains will make my six animals unable to feed." It exactly corresponds to the troubles in Mongolia on the northern border of the Ming Dynasty, and Shen Yichen has the ambition to seal the wolf and live in Xu.

The last sentence is Gong Zizhen’s original intention. When all these shackles are broken, people can be as beautiful as jade, and swords can spit out momentum like a rainbow.

In the past, Shen Yichen's poems were limited to being a pure copywriter because of his insufficient understanding of ancient literature.

But things are different now. After studying hard for almost a year, Shen Yichen's understanding of ancient literature has been qualitatively improved. At least he has broken away from the level of limericks and can use poetry to clarify his aspirations.

Of course, if you want to achieve something astonishing, you still need to rely on the ancient sayings, so he chose this sentence: "Beauty is like a jade sword like a rainbow."

When this poem came out, when the handwriting was placed in front of everyone, all the previous doubts, criticisms, and rumors were reduced to silence.

The poems written by Wei Zhuo, Xu Donghai, and Zhang Zhong were indeed good, but now compared with the Prime Minister Shen Yichen, it is not wrong to describe them as bad poems.

Because the value of a masterpiece that has been handed down from generation to generation is far more than a thousand or ten thousand times that of ordinary mediocre poems. It’s like Qianlong wrote 30,000 poems in his lifetime. Can the total be compared to any of the handed down classics by Li Bai or Du Fu?

Poetry has never been determined by quantity, but by the talent contained in its words!
