Chapter 19

The scholars were all booing, and they seemed to have made an agreement.

Li Yun saw it, and said to Li Er in a low voice: "Old Uncle Li, didn't you say that scholars dare not provoke Fang Yiyu? Why are you playing tricks here?"

Li Er showed surprise on his face, smiled and shook his head: "I don't know, maybe they have another purpose."

Tao Chengyu put his hands behind his back, looking my most handsome.

Xiaochan couldn't help but said to Fang Yiyu: "Miss Fang, don't be fooled by this thief. He kept pestering my lady a few days ago, but now he treats you like this. He must have a plan."

Fang Yiyu's face changed slightly, and then he waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, I have no love for Mr. Tao. If I want to marry Fang Yiyu, I can marry a great writer, not ordinary literati."

Xiaochan smiled triumphantly and made faces at Tao Chengyu.

Tao Chengyu glanced at Xiao Chan gloomyly, and then said: "I was only interested in that pair before, but don't have any thoughts about your young lady."

The scholars were still booing, but Fang Yiyu had a look of disgust on his face.

Wei Wanyu simply turned to the other side, she didn't want to look at Tao Chengyu.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps downstairs, and a gentle and elegant man who looked like a man of a family came up the stairs, followed by a group of scholars.

When Tao Chengyu saw him, he rushed over to meet him and called him Brother Wang.

Then he introduced to everyone that this person was from the Wang family in Taiyuan, and his name was Wang Shifu.

When a group of scholars heard the words, they immediately praised him for a long time.

Wang Shifu chuckled, his smile was very modest, and it made people feel very comfortable.

"Hi Miss Fang, I heard that Miss Wang likes poetry, so I specially prepared a poem for Miss Fang."

Fang Yiyu's eyes lit up, "Young Master, what poems do you have?"

Wang Shifu nodded, then put his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "Farewell, there are thousands of autumn winds in the northern country, Liu Hanyan in the singing of liu, and the sun is like red beans, and the sky is full of lovesickness."

As soon as the words fell, a group of scholars shouted one after another.

"Good poetry, good poetry."

Wang Shifu smiled slightly, "Miss Fang, please advise."

Fang Yiyu glanced at Tao Chengyu next to Wang Shifu, and felt that Wang Shifu's poems were actually very common, but as the saying goes, people cannot be compared, people are more popular than others.

No matter how disgusting Tao Chengyu looked, this Wang Shifu didn't seem so frustrated in comparison with these crooked melons and cracked dates.

At this time, the poetic style is soft and soft. Although Wang Shifu's poem is not outstanding, it is fresh and natural.

"Young Master Wang, this poem is acceptable."

Li Er laughed softly, "It seems that the Wang family has ideas about Fang Yiyu?"

The Taiyuan Wang family is a first-class Shandong family that has existed for hundreds of years, and it has existed since the Han Dynasty.

However, these Shandong aristocratic families insisted on their identities and ignored Li Tang, so the strength of the Shandong aristocratic families in the court is very weak.

But if you think that they don't want to be an official, they don't want to be an official, it's a big mistake, they also want to be an official.

It's just that while looking down on the Li family, they had to join forces with important court officials.

In this way, he can express his uniqueness and exert his influence in the imperial court.

For example, Li Shimin wanted to join the Shandong family, but was rejected.

Instead, Cheng Yaojin married Qinghe Cui's daughter.

Could it be that the status of the Li family is not as good as that of Cheng Yaojin?Of course not, this is entirely caused by self-esteem. These Shandong families feel that the Li family is inferior to them, and they are unwilling to admit that the Li family is the master of the world.

But they were afraid of being abandoned by the court, so they wanted to join forces with the important officials of the court.

Who Li Er was, he immediately understood Wang Shifu's intentions.

Li Yun nodded: "Old Uncle Li objects, or agrees?"

"I don't care, I believe in Fang Xuanling."

Li Yun nodded and did not speak. He had been guessing the identity of old Uncle Li before. Hearing Li Er's words now, he felt that this old Uncle Li was either the emperor or the prince of the Li family. It could not be Li Ji. .

Because although Li Ji is Li Shimin's confidant, but he is a general, he should not be that familiar with Fang Xuanling, and his status is not higher, so he probably wouldn't call him by his first name.

At this moment, Wang Shifu's voice sounded again, "Miss Fang, I still have a few poems here. I wonder if Miss Fang is interested?"

Fang Yiyu readily agreed, and those scholars also applauded.

Even Tao Chengyu was smiling and seemed easy to talk to.

Li Er frowned and said: "This disciple of the Shandong family has too much influence among scholars."

Li Yun smiled, "Shandong aristocratic families have mastered the classics of various families, and their learning resources are far superior to ordinary scholars. In addition, for hundreds of years, these families have many officials, which has given everyone the impression that they are very capable. Scholars Naturally, I am willing to flatter them."

"Do you think the imperial court should clamp down on these Shandong families?"

Li Er heard Li Yun's words and couldn't help asking.

He is the proud son of heaven, capable of both literature and martial arts. He has won the world, but he has been rejected by the Shandong family. This incident made Li Er very angry.

At the same time, scholars all over the world recognized Shandong families more, which also made Li Shimin feel a sense of crisis, so he naturally wanted to suppress these Shandong families.

Li Yun has performed very well recently, and he wants to see what Li Yun has to say.

"Old Uncle Li, you really asked the right question, because I know how to answer it?"

"Oh, what do you think."

"Open up schools, expand the imperial examinations, and let ordinary scholars come up, and these Shandong families will naturally die out."

Historically, there were two main reasons for the demise of the Shandong family. One was the scuffle at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and most of them were killed.

The second is that in the Song Dynasty, the printing technique had been greatly developed, and books were much cheaper. The rich could not monopolize knowledge, so no new family was formed.

Li Yun could tell that Uncle Li didn't like the Shandong family, but he couldn't help for the time being because he didn't know how to print.

Hearing this, Li Shimin thought for a moment, then clapped his hands in applause.

"Your answer is on point, indeed."

He was excited, and his voice was a little loud for a while.

Wang Shifu was about to read a poem, but was interrupted by Li Er's voice, feeling a little unhappy for a while.

Seeing Tao Chengyu, he glanced at the circle of guards, thought for a while, and walked over bravely.

"Everyone, we scholars are going to hold a poetry meeting on the second floor, can you leave?"

Tao Chengyu then turned around and shouted to the others, those passengers got up and left despite their reluctance.

Seeing this, Tao Chengyu felt complacent, "Everyone, if you can do me a favor, I will be very grateful to the scholar."

Look down on others, let others go, and then say that you are grateful, no matter how you listen, it will be false.

Li Er asked Li Yun, "What do you think?"

"How else can I see it? Of course I can see it with my eyes. What kind of nonsense poetry, I really want to see if it is as good as our village head uncle Wang."

Tao Chengyu was furious, "What are you talking about?"
