"Father, Mr. Siwei is gone."
In front of Chu Zhongtian, she didn't dare to call him "Brother Li Shi" anymore, otherwise it would be easy for her father to misunderstand what she thought of Li Qingcha.
Chu Zhongtian said: "Anjun, you first...Anjun, do you think "Warning to the World" was written by Mr. Siwei?"
Chu Anyun pondered for a moment and replied through the door: "Since we can't find the so-called 'madman', and this poem was written by Mr. Siwei, then we should just regard it as written by Mr. Siwei."
"..."
"..."
The hall fell into silence.
a long time,
"What An Jun said is a good idea. You go first."
Chu Anyun pursed her lips and smiled.
Chapter 351 You are indeed Mr. Siwei...
Inside the hall, everyone was in deep thought.
Chu Zhongtian frowned, stood up suddenly, took out a piece of paper from the drawer, and wrote down all four sentences of "Warning to the World".
Could it be that this poem was really not written by Li Qingcha?
No one spoke, apparently everyone was thinking the same question.
Chu Zhongtian couldn't help but mutter to himself,
"This regulated verse is very interesting. When I first read it, I thought it was a joke, but when I read it carefully, I could appreciate its free and unrestrained spirit. Of course, it is not wrong to say that it is arrogant."
Hearing his joke, the others just smiled perfunctorily.
Suddenly, someone clapped his hands.
"Master Chu, have you ever heard of the play, 'From afar, the lonely mountain is dark, thin at the top and thick at the bottom. One day, it will be turned upside down, thin at the bottom and thick at the top'?"
Chu Zhongtian: ???
He was a little confused,
To turn the mountain upside down, this poem is a spoof...
"Who did this?"
"Li Qingcha, at the Bozhou Qiqing Poetry Meeting. When I first heard that poem, I just thought that Mr. Siwei wanted to squeeze others and humiliate Zhao Nong, but now I see that Mr. Siwei might be thinking in this way."
"!!!"
Chu Zhongtian was surprised and read "Warning to the World" again.
No one can be happy forever, and how long can flowers bloom in the depths of spring?
The saying "movement and stillness have their regularity, and hardness and softness are determined" is not because Mr. Siwei has always believed in the dialectical principle of "positive and negative combination" of the rise and fall of yin and yang.
Combining the views he expressed this afternoon...
Yes, yes.
You are right, "Warning" was written by Li Qingcha himself!
An official from the Honglu Temple nodded slowly.
"Mr. Siwei is an official of the Daolu Division. He is quite familiar with the Taoist philosophy, 'All things bear the yin and embrace the yang, and the rushing qi makes harmony'. It is normal for him to use this in his poems."
Someone was puzzled and asked: "But why did Mr. Siwei hide the fact that he was the author of the poem?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
There was a moment of silence.
Everyone is not allowed to ride on me,
Although this poem "Warning to the World" contains a lot of colloquial words, its quality alone will undoubtedly allow it to be passed down through the ages. Which poet would not want to use it to promote his literary reputation?
Chu Zhongtian pondered for a moment.
"Mr. Siwei must have some deep meaning."
The others nodded in agreement.
Their minds had become seriously confused, and eight horses could not pull them back. They all focused their eyes on the poem and fell into deep thought.
suddenly,
"By the way, what is the purpose of inviting Mr. Siwei to attend the poetry gathering this time?"
Everyone looked at Chu Zhongtian.
"Lord Chu, of course I have made peace with him."
"With Mr. Si's intelligence and wisdom, can't you see our purpose?"
"Ah this..."
Some may feel ashamed, some may be excited, and some may suddenly realize...
The expressions vary.
They all felt that Li Qingcha had already noticed their purpose.
Someone murmured, "Could it be that Mr. Siwei is unwilling to do so... Alas... After all, it is still the sin we committed before. What we sow will be what we reap."
Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian shook his head.
"I don't think so."
"what?"
"Look at the last sentence, 'You must endure the gossip you hear, and pretend to be half stupid and half deaf.'"
"What's wrong with this sentence?"
"Such pessimistic and escapist remarks, are they what a young man like Mr. Siwei really means?"
"Well……"
The people present were all officials, and they had similar ideas.
If they were promoted to the seventh rank at a young age, even if they were just the right deputy seal envoy of the Daoluo Division, they would probably be full of vigor and ambition.
Besides, Li Qingcha is a cultivator himself, and he is very powerful.
There are many beautiful women around me,
How could a person who was so successful and successful become “half stupid and half deaf”?
Unreasonable!
Someone asked, "What does Lord Chu mean?"
Chu Zhongtian's face was full of seriousness, as if he had figured everything out.
He said: "As expected of Mr. Siwei..."
This is a nonsensical statement.
Others couldn't help but feel anxious.
Seeing them scratching their heads, Chu Zhongtian chuckled and explained, "Mr. Siwei's foresight is far better than ours. He is not hiding from the world, but avoiding disasters and misfortunes."
“避灾？”
"To avoid trouble?"
Others were even more confused.
Chu Zhongtian asked, "How many times have you recommended Mr. Siwei to join the Honglu Temple?"
The official from the Honglu Temple replied: "Twice."
"Wrong, three times."
"Well... um... yes, including the time when Mr. Siwei just returned to Beijing from Bozhou and was recommended by Lord Chu, it has indeed been three times. It was also that time that we verbally insulted Mr. Siwei."
"There's a saying that goes 'Once, twice, but never three times'. You must have heard of this saying in the marketplace, right?"
"!!!"
Three times recommended,
The first time, the emperor refused because Li Qingcha was not a Confucian scholar who had passed the imperial examination. As a second choice, he put Li Qingcha in the Daolusi.
At the time, officials thought this was normal.
They looked down on officials who were not born through the imperial examination, so they did not think deeply about it, and even felt that the emperor was honoring Li Qingcha by giving him an official position.
Because people without any official titles can only be clerks at most and there is no chance of promotion.
The second time, the emperor refused on the grounds that the discussion of the three sects had not yet concluded.
This reason is also normal.
The third time, the emperor shirked his responsibility by saying that the relationship between the Ministry of Rites, the Honglu Temple and Li Qingcha was not good.
This reason is normal.
……
Looking back now, it seems that there was only one person who really obstructed it.
Emperor.
So that’s it…
Li Qingcha had seen clearly who the real "enemy" was, which was why he kept shirking responsibility, not even saying it clearly, but using a poem to explain it.
tsk...
Naming this poem "Warning to the World" is not crazy at all, but rather appropriate.
Mr. Siwei has already had a monument erected in the Forest of Steles. He may not be included in history books in the future, but Confucian scholars will certainly remember him. The story of avoiding disaster with poetry has been passed down through the ages and may even be adapted into various dramas.
What is "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Li Qingcha"?
What is "Daxia Chief Justice"?
It is very likely that this short paragraph will appear in these stories. Chu Zhongtian, who was present, and officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple might also be able to benefit from it and get a supporting role.
Chu Zhongtian pondered.
"In fact, whether to promote Mr. Siwei or not is a matter of the emperor's words. It's ridiculous that we, who have been in the officialdom for many years, can't see it as clearly as Mr. Siwei, a newcomer."
An official from the Ministry of Rites consoled him.
"I am in this situation, so I don't blame Lord Chu."
Someone echoed,
"It's mainly us who are asking you to host a banquet to make a proposal. It's really embarrassing."
"..."
"..."
Unspeakable silence.
Everyone looked at each other and realized the problem before them.
Do you still want to continue supporting Mr. Siwei?
They wanted Li Qingcha to join the Honglu Temple or the Ministry of Rites, mainly because Li Qingcha was practical and capable, and he was a monk himself, and he also said, "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts."
This kind of person is extremely suitable to play the good guy to the demon clan delegation during the autumn hunt.
After all, foreign affairs activities cannot be just gentle or tough, it requires a combination of hard and soft tactics, and what the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple lack now are tough men.
But if the emperor really doesn't think it's a good idea, is there any need to insist?
Everyone looked at Chu Zhongtian.
