Qin Meng's words were loud and loud, and all the listeners bowed their heads.
Lu Gongxian held back for a while and said, "Even if the Chen court has bad morals, did the Jiangnan scholars have suffered? This adult, drinking Wang Wan in front and retreating Yang Wenhan in the back, arrogant, like calling a child, so . It's also the way to treat talents?"
Qin Meng sneered: "Those who are talented in the south of the Yangtze River have the ability to inspire and stabilize the country, but they also know only the prosperous and wealthy. Say you scholars are not diligent and do not distinguish the grain. You may not like to listen. Well, let's just To be honest. Do you know how many casualties are there for Zhong Shan, my uncle who even broke Jingkou?"
When Lu Gongxian concluded, he stayed for a while and said, "I don't know."
Qin Meng glanced around at the crowd and stretched out two fingers: "There are more than two hundred casualties in total. Haha. Aunt Jingkou, that is an important town outside Jiankang. The city is deep and heavily guarded. Why is it so vulnerable? , Have you ever read "Mencius·Gao Zixia"? If you leave it, it is that the location is not as good as the people. Do you think that the frontline soldiers have forgotten the important task of defending the soil and resisting the enemy because of a few mouthfuls of food? Eggs! Zhumen's wine and meat are stinky, and there are frozen bones on the road! Those soldiers don't have enough to eat or dress, don't say, family members don't know when they will starve to death, why are you desperate for them?"
Speaking of this, a painful expression appeared on Qin Meng's face.
"People are high and low, but life is expensive for all living beings. Don't you hear that the saints say that the people are the most valuable, the emperor is the light, and the land is second? There is a paper in Da Sui that everyone has a field to cultivate, so the villagers and fathers of Chen everywhere do not expect the wind to return. The official asks you, are their requirements high? Therefore, the superior Chen, he is not satisfied with his extravagance. Therefore, he annexed a little farmland on which the Chen people depended. In order to survive, they went to the Great Sui and made a mistake. Huh?"
Seeing everyone speechless, Qin Meng snorted: "His Royal Highness King Jin, Marshal Pingnan. In order to make up for the lack of staff in the office, Enke was specially appointed to recruit scholars. As a result, some people clamored that the northerners were barbarians and were not worthy to evaluate the southerners. Haha, you guys. Who are the people who are clamoring for not cooperating with Da Sui? Why are they clamoring so much? Because they are recruiting scholars, their interests have been seriously shaken! Their family has a big business, almost Have the ability to fight court with the court, and then control the officialdom. The family interests are forever! Humph, speaking of this, if you still don’t understand that their interests are based on monopoly, you will read all of your books. Go inside the dog's belly!"
The scholars listened. Unconsciously whispering, although everyone is not particularly convinced by Qin Meng's rhetoric, they already have some doubts about the actions of the Wang and Yang family.
Qin Meng hummed: "Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind? If the sages are displayed, the world will be ruled. If the sages fill the court, the story of the death of the old Chen will be repeated. For scholars, they are of unfamiliar background. , A poor family for life. There is no way for a country. State road, a poor family for life, a poor family for life. Shame!"
After speaking, Qin Meng fixed his eyes on Lu Gongxian again: "Do you have any questions?"
Lu Gongxian frowned, and said, "Students are in uniform. However. Enke candidates must be presided over by those who have a strong literature and morals. Otherwise, I am afraid that scholars in the world will not accept it."
Qin Meng sneered: "Speaking of speaking, it's not like the literary talents of the south of the Yangtze River think that the cultural talents of the North are not enough for the southerners of the school? Since you think so, let you see the cultural talents of the North. Come here."
When Yang Yu heard Qin Meng ask for paper and pen, her eyes brightened immediately. She knew Qin Meng's poetry skills and dared to write in the public. It must be an extraordinary work again.
Without laboring others, Yang Yu hurriedly got up to do things about the guy he had already, and prepared Qin Meng properly.
Qin Meng picked up his pen, brushed a few strokes of ink, and wrote down the "Peach Blossom Temple Song" by Tang Yin, a later generation.
A group of scholars didn't know the depth of Qin Meng. At the beginning, when I saw Qin Meng's two strokes, I didn't realize that he was shaking his head and laughing bitterly. Some people even laughed.
However, as Qin Meng wrote a line of poems, the mocker stopped laughing, shaking his head and laughing bitterly, turning into a solemn expression.
"Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, Taohua Temple under Peach Blossom Fairy. Peach Blossom Fairy grows peach trees and picks peach blossoms to sell wine... Half-awake and half-drunk day after day, flowers blooming year after year... People laughed at me too crazy, I laughed at others. No wear. No tombs of the Five Tombs heroes, no flowers and no wine to hoe the fields."
After writing, Qin Meng threw his pen to the ground as usual, and said with his head high: "Publish this poem and hang it in various conspicuous places in Jiankang. And pass the order of the official, if someone can overwrite this poem. , This official is willing to offer both hands to the position of Director Enke Kaoji. If he can’t, he will take the Enke exam honestly, in the hope that he will pass the exam."
After speaking, Qin Meng groaned: "There is another thing. The Marshal of Pingnan, His Royal Highness King Jin, said that talents should be promoted, not only regardless of family status, but also regardless of gender. As long as they are talented, even if they are women, Da Sui will also accept appointments. , Equivalent to a man." (End of this chapter)
