Chapter 556 (1/2)



556 Taking in a disciple (1)

It was deathly silent outside the meridian Gate. Hundreds of officials seemed to have lost their voices collectively, the sarcastic poem echoing in their ears.

Only a scholar could truly understand the irony in this poem, how sharp it was.

Scholars were not afraid of being scolded or quarreling. Some even regarded quarreling as a discussion of Dao and were self-satisfied. Those with low status liked to quarrel with those with high status.

Those who had a long reputation liked to quarrel with people of the same level, and even liked to quarrel with the Emperor. Once the Emperor was flustered and exasperated, they would even point at the Emperor and say, “He was anxious, he was anxious …

He was an outstanding person.

However, scholars, especially those in high positions, were afraid of being scolded by these three things.

First, history books.

2. Articles.

3. Poetry.

This was because these three topics were related to the things that scholars cared about the most:Reputation.

His reputation.

[ your Cao’s name and body will be destroyed, but the rivers will flow through the ages … ] These were words that struck at one’s heart. No scholar could stand the mockery of this poem. It was too malicious.

At this moment, the hundreds of officials felt as if blood had rushed to their faces. They truly felt a great humiliation.

It wasn’t just because of the poem itself, but also because the person who humiliated them was a vulgar martial artist.

It was not until the tall figure in the short cloak walked further and further away that an official said in a trembling voice, ”

“Fanatic, scoundrel, boorish fellow … How dare you humiliate us like this? My Lords, if you can tolerate this, then who can’t? quickly dispatch your troops and behead this dog.”

The one who spoke was the Imperial censor of the left, Yuan Xiong. His mood had fallen to the bottom after all his plans had failed. He was like a barrel of gunpowder. At this time, Xu Qi ‘an’s deliberate action of waiting at the meridian Gate to step on him made his heart hurt.

Yuan Xiong felt that Xu Qi ‘an’s poem was ridiculing him and trying to nail him to the pillar of shame.

The second one to go berserk was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, Qin Yuandao. He furiously took a few steps forward and sternly shouted,

“Guards, where are the guards? stop that bastard for me. He’s humiliating the court officials and is being disrespectful. Stop him for this official!”

It was a pity that the Imperial Guards only obeyed Emperor Yuan jing’s orders. Even the princess and the prince had no authority to mobilize them.

Minister sun had mixed feelings. He was inevitably angry, but for some reason, he was relieved that Xu Qi ‘an did not name anyone.

He nailed everyone to the pillar of shame and shared it equally. The shame that everyone suffered was not so sharp.

Minister sun felt that there was something wrong with his mentality, but he couldn’t come up with a conclusion. Minister sun, who was well-read in poetry, had never read Lu Shuren’s book.

Lord Wei has really cultivated a capable subordinate.

Chief advisor Wang’s mouth twitched and he said in a weird tone.
