Chapter 255: Literati Xiangqing (Monthly Pass)
After hearing this, Chen Kaizhi paused.
Academic rank?
Chen Kaizhi understood.
Having a scholarship seems to have qualifications and also shows the trust of the court.
Chen Kaizhi immediately understood that he had said everything he should say on this trip, so he respectfully saluted Yang Ye and said, "Since that's the case, then sir, go to bed earlier. Tomorrow, I will welcome the imperial envoy and say goodbye to the student."
Early the next morning, Chen Kaizhi indeed saw that the academy was decorated more freshly than before. It was like during the 21st World, in order to welcome the arrival of the general leaders, the municipal government specially decorated the streets to look grand, making them particularly clean and beautiful.
I think this is to welcome Hou Qin's inspection, but these have nothing to do with Chen Kaizhi, so he naturally obediently shot his arrows and read his books.
But at noon, a clerk came over panting and said, "June Chen, Lord Zhanggong, please go to Dacheng Palace."
Speaking of this Dacheng Hall, it is the most magnificent building in the Academy, where Saint Confucius is enshrined.
Chen Kaizhi did not dare to be negligent and rushed to Dacheng Hall. He saw that there were already many academic officials sitting under the plaque of the Supreme Saint Master.
A Hanlin official who is nearly thirty years old is on the left, while Yang Ye is sitting on the right.
In this middle position, the most saint and ancestors worshipped, so naturally no one dared to usurp.
The other stewards and doctors had to sit on their lower heads on both sides.
Chen Kaizhi stepped forward calmly and saluted. Yang Ye said to Hanlin first: "Mr. Li Zi, this person is Chen Kaizhi."
Plum……
Well……
This name is really...
It seems that this is the viscount, and Zi is a respectful title, but he is a Hanlin official, so he should be called an official title. The partially-born call him Zi. Obviously, this Hanlin is very popular with such a title, as if he only got such a title, and he suddenly felt superior.
Li Zi didn't have too many expressions on his face, but just nodded and said, "Are you so young?"
He said that when he was young, he did not show surprise, but he only looked calm and gentle.
"Yes, Kaizhi's talent is unfathomable, so I asked him to accompany him. The gentleman is also a talented person..."
Speaking of this, Mr. Li Zi just nodded: "Well, he is indeed a handsome talent, very extraordinary."
After hearing this praise, Chen Kaizhi smiled on his face, but he felt clear in his heart.
Mr. Li Zi said yes, but looking at his cold look, he knew that something was different in his heart. He deliberately interrupted Yang Ye's words with a compliment. To some extent, his attitude was self-evident.
This is how people are. When you become famous, proud and glorious, although some people like you, others don’t like you.
It can be seen that Mr. Li Zi just doesn’t like him, but it doesn’t matter. He doesn’t care whether others like him or not. As long as he is good at doing himself, he can’t control so many others.
As expected, everything was as Chen Kaizhi thought. From the beginning of entering the hall, Mr. Li Zi didn't even look at him directly, his eyes squinted, and even his words were casual and perfunctory, just like Chen Kaizhi did not exist.
In this regard, all Chen Kaizhi can do is to be calm.
He smiled and said, "Sir, over-reputation."
Mr. Li Zi's expression was faint, and he couldn't help but look at Chen Kaizhi, and even glanced elsewhere, ignoring Chen Kaizhi at all. This made Chen Kaizhi quite embarrassed. It's not okay to leave, and it's not okay not to leave.
Yang Ye also felt something was wrong with the atmosphere. He suddenly felt that it was his negligence. His old face turned red, but he heard Mr. Li slowly say: "The altar and the required sacrifices should be fine. The school will sacrifice for years, and I think there will be no mistakes. In fact, I came here with the order, but it was just a formality. Here in the school, the Queen Mother and His Highness Zhao are still very at ease."
Yang Ye said: "Shame."
Chen Kaizhi thought to himself that the empress dowager is now in charge, but Mr. Li Zi said that the empress dowager should be assured, so why should he add the words "His Royal Highness of the King of Zhao" after this?
Mr. Li Zi continued with a smile again: "The court has praised Yang Zhanggong for presiding the school. Even if someone has any complaints, they will be suppressed. The Empress does not need to say anything. Just talking about His Highness Zhao, she has put a lot of thought into the school."
Speaking of this, he looked at Yang Ye deeply and said, "Naturally, back to the point, sacrifice to the loyalty and righteousness is a major event. Among them, the most important one is the sacrificial text. If you don't know the sacrificial text, can you prepare it?"
Yang Yedao: "I am choosing."
Mr. Li Zi nodded: "The sacrificial texts are three, and there is a distinction between the primary and secondary. This sacrificial texts are of great importance. The sacrificial texts of various countries are all sent to Qufu. I think Lord Yang knows it?"
Yang Yeheshou: "How come the lower officials don't know? I don't know what Mr. Li Zi can give me?"
Mr. Li Zi pondered: "Actually, I also wrote an article to mourn the loyal and righteous man."
Yang Ye was slightly stunned, but still understood what he meant: "I don't know if I can see it."
Mr. Li Zi looked so handsome that he was not polite. He took an article from his sleeve and sent it to Yang Ye.
Yang Ye became taboo, but he still read it carefully. Mr. Li Zi was both a Hanlin and a viscount from the Yansheng Gong Mansion. Moreover, this article was thought to be carefully crafted. Yang Ye was a person who knew the goods. After reading it carefully, he nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but praise.
"Good article, Mr. Li Zi is really a talented person, no wonder Yan Shenggong Mansion awarded the title."
A proud look flashed through Mr. Li Zi's face, but in just a moment, he returned to his usual temperament and said with a modest smile: "I saw that I laughed, don't you know that Lord Yang thinks that my sacrificial text is qualified to be in the sacrificial sacrifice?"
"This..." Yang Ye looked at Mr. Li Zi. Although he had guessed Mr. Li Zi's intention just now, he did not expect Mr. Li to say it out in a blatant manner.
But Yang Ye understood the importance of this matter in nature. Although he was afraid of Mr. Li, he still did not dare to respond immediately. He frowned slightly, looking a little embarrassed.
With so many articles, it is natural that you can make a decision after comparing it.
Mr. Li Zi was not in a hurry and smiled, "Hey, I don't want to argue for such a long and short matter. It was because His Highness Zhao asked me to write a letter. After reading it, he praised this eulogy and repeatedly said that he would use this article to sacrifice to Zhongyi Hou, which is enough to comfort Zhongyi Hou's spirit in the sky. Lord Yang, look... His Highness Zhao is really too troublesome, right?"
Chen Kaizhi watched coldly, but he knew it in his heart. The imperial envoy called King Zhao on the left and King Zhao on the right, obviously trying to use King Zhao’s big hat to suppress Yang Ye.
His article was extraordinary, and Yang Ye said it well. Now that he suddenly came straight to the point, he didn't give Yang Ye a chance to shirk his words.
This trick... is really deep.
But he is quite thick-skinned.
But when you think about it carefully, Chen Kaizhi felt that it was nothing, a scholar... what strange thing hasn't existed?
In his previous life, Chen Kaizhi gathered with the literary youths. Before drinking, everyone praised each other. Teacher XX and a certain article was well written, and that one was polite and humble. You wrote it well.
After three glasses of wine, the drunk person will inevitably say that what Teacher XX wrote is really good, but there is a small mistake. I want to talk about it. This small mistake will take just one or two hours. There is no small mistake. It is simply a criticism that grits teeth, so that the criticized people are anxious and must have quarrels. If there is a quarrel, scholars will also turn their backs. Once the table is raised, they will smash the chair.
After all, it was just a literati who looked down on each other and considered themselves very high.
Now, when King Zhao's hat was buckled up, Chen Kaizhi knew that Yang Ye would inevitably be unable to resist.
Although Yang Ye is the master of this academy, he is actually a vulgar person. Chen Kaizhi has long known this.
Sure enough, Yang Ye sighed and said, "Your Highness King Zhao is indeed not bad. This article is indeed extraordinary. It would be better to use it as the main priest."
Mr. Li Zi smiled, took a sip of tea, and Yun Danfeng glanced at Yang Ye gently.
"I'm just talking casually, Lord Yang doesn't have to take it to heart."
He said that, it seemed that his article had been finalized as the main sacrificial text, so he felt relaxed and talked to the doctors, and no longer talked about the sacrificial matters.
Seeing that it was getting late, Mr. Li stood up: "It's not getting late, I should go back to the palace to report my life."
Yang Ye and others stood up and saw him off. Mr. Li suddenly remembered Chen Kaizhi who was kneeling in the corner. He stopped and seemed energetic: "This young man just now, isn't Chen Kaizhi?"
Chen Kaizhi still knelt in the table.
Yang Ye seemed ashamed. He originally wanted Chen Kaizhi to come and see the world. After all, he was just a teenager. Seeing more scenes like this will be of great benefit to him in the future. Unexpectedly, Mr. Li Zi didn't seem to be interested in Chen Kaizhi.
And he also obviously neglected Chen Kaizhi, and his attitude was self-evident.
Yang Ye said: "Yes."
Mr. Li Zi held his hands and stood tall: "It is really amazing to be able to make articles on the ground and people's list. When I was in Qufu, I saw many such heroes."
When he talked about his experiences when he was studying in Qufu, he seemed to have a bright face, and he looked completely superior.
But the meaning of this sentence is worthy of fun. I have seen many such heroes. One of the implications of this is that in his eyes, Chen Kaizhi has nothing special.
At this moment, he smiled and said, "Chen Kaizhi, come forward."
Chen Kaizhi hated his face very much, but this person was an imperial envoy, so he could only walk to Mr. Li Zi without being humble or arrogant.
Mr. Li Zi looked him up and down and said, "I have read some of your articles, but I have more novel ideas, but my writing style is lacking. You can read my tribute, which will be of great help to you."
He is the viscount of Yansheng Gong's Mansion. Others may not be able to say such big words in front of Chen Kaizhi, but although he said it, it made people feel a little arrogant, but there was not much incongruity.
