Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 202 Attack from the capital

The rumors in the market became more and more serious, but in just a few days, everyone from the princes and nobles to the traffickers and pawns knew what Luo Yan said.The people heard that there was a good show to watch, and they were eagerly waiting for someone to jump out and challenge Luo Yan.When the scholars heard this, they fell into short-term thinking.

For a while, the hottest topic in Chang'an was Luo Yan's poetry reform.But for such an important event, it has been almost half a month and no one has come out to object.Could it be that those who spread the news were all wrong, and this time Luo Yan really did something that no one would oppose him?Just when the common people got impatient and wanted to change their minds and change the topic, someone suddenly jumped out to confront Luo Yan.

The person who challenged Luo Yan was called Xiao Chang, who was also of the same clan as Xiao Yu.The Xiao family has grown from the royal family to the emperor's relatives, and many branch families have been relatively wealthy over the years.Xiao Chang is only [-] years old, but he has received strict family education since he was a child, and he has not wasted his years until now.Although they are not as famous as the Ge Wenda brothers who are about the same age, they are somewhat famous in Chang'an due to their family background and talents.

I don’t know what stimulated this person. When many literati were still watching, a sentence suddenly came out at a banquet one day: “Thinking of Luo Yan, wanting to be famous is crazy. This verse was originally It’s something that we literati entertain themselves, and we have to add a lot of meaning. Saying that the poems are full of mediocre sounds, you must have something to say. Isn’t this just trying to use his method to gain a clear stream among scholars Fame?"

It's never easy for literati to look down on each other, and now Xiao Chang is taking the lead, and some people who have long been unhappy with Luo Yan's growing reputation in the literary world have also joined the ranks of criticizing Luo Yan at this moment.According to what Luo Yan said, many people used to write poems in this style. Could it be that they are all inferior?It's just that the more you talk about Luo Yan's words, the wider the impact will be.Just like attracting allies in the officialdom, some people who originally thought that the matter had nothing to do with them were not dragged into the water for a while.

After all, the poetry reform planned by Luo Yan is only his own idea.At this moment, there are countless people crowded to criticize him, how could there be no loopholes.

After Xiao Chang, a great god came out, that is Shangguanyi.At this time, Shangguanyi had just returned to vulgarity, but with his family background and the fact that he studied Buddhist scriptures and scriptures a lot when he was a monk in refuge, his talent and learning should not be underestimated.Yang Rengong, governor of Yangzhou, appreciated him and directly recommended him to take the scientific examination in Beijing.At this time, he was worrying that he would not have any chance to expand his reputation, so that he could repay Yang Rengong's kindness, but Luo Yan sent him to his door unexpectedly.

In Shangguanyi's eyes, although Luo Yan is deeply trusted by Li Shimin, and his lord is not low.But when it comes to talents and learning, according to the poems that Shangguanyi has collected in his hands, they are only mediocre.After coming to Chang'an, Shangguanyi often visited the seniors in the literary world.After being evaluated by many great Confucian scholars as "Qi Cuo Wan Mei", Shang Guanyi is also quite complacent.This style was born out of Qi and Liang's legacy, but it pays more attention to speech.

After traveling to Chang'an for so long, there is an endless stream of scholars discussing poetry with him.However, from time to time, some people would miss Luo Xiaoshu back then, which made Shangguanyi extremely dissatisfied.Or jealousy would be more appropriate.

Hearing that Luo Yan is making great efforts to reform poetry, and there are obviously poems of his style among the objects of criticism.Shangguanyi is also a young man, how could he bear such a discussion by a person of the same age.After sorting out the content of Luo Yan's lectures in Jinzhou, and after repeated confirmation, Shangguanyi began to concoct his first article to bombard Luo Yan.

"Poetry also. The "Book of Songs" is the upper model, and the Han music is the next. The time changes and the world changes, and the generations make new ones. The five-character succinctness can describe everything in the world; ;Scholars are knowledgeable, and they can argue the twists and turns. The chaos of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there are plain words; the prosperity of Qi and Liang, the gorgeous chapters and sentences. The troubled times are at the beginning, and it is the season of prosperity. The Ming Dynasty has come, just the time of beauty and beauty. ...In the words of the common people, talking about the romantic affairs of scholars, isn't it? The beauty of the speech is endless, and it is not what I took, but it was given by the time and the situation. Now you want to use the words of the family to destroy me. , his heart can be punished."

The article attributes the reason why people like themselves write gorgeous poems to the general trend, and believes that the poetry reform that Luo Yan wants to carry out is to damage their future.Shangguanyi was always good at writing, but when this article came out, coupled with a few poems he sarcastically satirized Luo Yan, it caused another storm in Chang'an.More and more anti-Roman camps have transcribed this article and memorized it. Whenever they discuss with others, they just shake their heads and recite a few sentences from this article, followed by a long speech.

For a moment, there was an illusion that Luo Yan was overwhelmed by these rhetoric and had no power to refute.Because now Chang'an can only hear what Shangguanyi said, but Luo Yan has no news at all.However, people seem to have forgotten that Luo Yan is not in Chang'an at the moment.

When Luo Yan received Shangguanyi's work, it was already after the imperial examination started.What's more shocking to Luo Yan is that Shangguanyi happened to be selected as Jinshi of Jinke.In the eyes of others, it is undoubtedly that even the officials have recognized Shangguanyi's statement.After all, for people like Luo Yan, Shangguanyi would be easily dethroned if the officials were a little bit more scrupulous.This poetic innovation seems to be doomed to die in Luo Yan's hands.

With this in mind, many people began to make friends with people like Shangguanyi.At the same time, following the trend, more and more people began to crusade Qi Luo Yanlai.

Jinzhou, someone with good deeds this day, compiled the words and articles that abused Luo Yan in Chang'an into a book, and sent it to Luo Yan.This is the fourth time this has happened in the past ten days. In just half a month since the scientific examination, the articles and poems in Luo Yan's hands that criticize him are actually three inches thick.This is almost catching up with the documents that Luo Yan handled in Lantian Banyue before.

Looking at the increasingly fierce words above, Luo Yan finally made up his mind to refute these people to the point of being speechless in one fell swoop.

These people talked so much nonsense, but they didn't realize at all that there was an extremely important flaw in their own criticisms of Luo Yan, which was to touch on the source of poetry.

Anyone who has read it knows how the "Book of Songs" came about. It is a compilation of folk songs and rites and music.And the national style occupies a considerable part.As a work compiled and edited by Confucius himself, it has been regarded as a Confucian classic for many years.Poetry writers talk about Confucianism, if you don’t talk about it, how dare you say that you are a scholar.Since Confucius did this, it is obvious that he wanted to tell people a truth, poetry and writing should be appreciated by both refined and popular.

Born in the Wei and Jin dynasties, Confucianism was at a low point. Nowadays, many people read Confucian classics, and what they do is indeed a mystical way that is even worse than Taoism.At this time, the problem comes. You keep saying that the times are changing, but I also want to say that all changes remain the same.The original intention of poetry is to educate. Could it be that now that the emperor succeeds to the throne, he wants you to educate this life of luxury and money?

Unexpectedly, after these people argued, Luo Yan actually used a method of textual research to argue.

Luo Yan wrote a brief rebuttal, and sent someone to Chang'an.He didn't even intend to invite great scholars like Lu Deming to come forward. Luo Yan just asked people to post his article on the door of Tianranju, then turned around and left.What kind of place is Tianranju, a place where dignitaries, nobles, educated people can only go.As soon as the people sent by Luo Yan posted the article, people immediately joined in.

Those who can come to Tianranju basically know two characters more or less.Even if they didn't know each other, there was a benevolent person who stood in front and read the article aloud, so that the people behind could hear it clearly.What is surprising is that Luo Yan's rebuttal is quite fierce, but he seldom criticizes others.This is obviously not in line with Luo Yan's style. Every time he suffers a loss, it is not to punish people to death.

But after seeing the last sentence, many people understood what Luo Yan meant.In literary debates, unless some people have personal moral disadvantages, he will not easily point the finger at anyone.Either one side convinces the other side, or finds a more reliable argument to refute him.

Some people with a neutral attitude couldn't help saying hello to Luo Yan twice.The first sound was grounds for praising him.These days, those rebuttals are tossing and turning over and over every day just a few reasons, but now that Luo Yan thinks about it, the other party's argument is obviously untenable.The second voice was to praise Luo Yan as a real literati.The battle of ideas has always been more serious than the political battle.Luo Yan did not intend to overwhelm others with power, on the contrary, he generously did not pester those who abused him. This attitude could not be better among scholars.

At this time, many people borrowed words from Tianranju and copied Luo Yan's article.And some people who supported Luo Yan copied several copies and sent people to post them in the downtown area, hoping to spread Luo Yan's articles more quickly in this way.

And as these people wished, this method did play a considerable role.Within a long time, even Li Shimin in the palace had Luo Yan's articles in their hands.

At the moment Li Shimin was chatting with Fang Xuanling's eldest grandson Wuji and the others.Li Shimin, who has always been fond of literature, felt aggrieved when he saw what Luo Yan said.As an emperor, when he had not succeeded to the throne, the few poems he wrote occasionally were also the kind of golden and jade-filled poems piled up in Luo Yan's mouth.As soon as he heard Luo Yan's words, Li Shimin's face turned red with embarrassment.

Fortunately, the country was busy later, and I forgot about it.It wasn't until Changsun Wuji brought the examination papers for him to rank that he remembered that Shangguanyi was the one who scolded Luo Yan the most.It just so happens that Shangguanyi's talents and learning are very solid, current affairs policies and poems are both top-notch, and Li Shimin's ink pen can position Shangguanyi as a top-level Jinshi.

After the approval, Li Shimin still had a happy face. Finally, there is someone who can suppress Luo Yan. Seeing that this kid will still be embarrassed in front of him in the future.Who would have thought that Luo Yan's rebuttal would come so quickly.Moreover, it was all kinds of arguments to abuse Shangguanyi.

At this moment, Li Shimin was holding a piece of paper, his hands shaking a little.
