I am the censor, at the beginning I denounced the empress

Chapter 40
"I heard about the family history of the imperial historian of the Tang Dynasty. My father, Tang Ju, has a brilliant literary talent. He is proficient in poetry, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"We have admired him for a long time, but unfortunately we have no chance to meet Tang Xiang. We specially invite Tang Yushi to participate in the literary battle."

"Wait for Tang Yushi to win the championship in one fell swoop."

The sound of drumming was transmitted from the big ship to Tang Can's ears.

Tang Can, who was chatting with Xiao Shubao, was stunned for a moment, then laughed, feeling a little complacent: "Yinliu, do you see, my status is different now!"

“But would you believe it, a few months ago, these students had never even heard of my name?”

"Even if my father was wronged and imprisoned, this group of people might still shout in outrage?"

Gao Yinliu froze, and said softly: "My lord, they may not be provoking trouble."

"Impossible." Tang Can shook his head and said flatly, "This group of people only have such virtues."

"What's this called? It's called envy, jealousy, hatred!"

Tang Can was a little emotional: "Little book bag, did your mother say anything similar?"

The little book bag frowned, with a bitter face, and thought again and again: "Mother said before that men are big pigs."

Tang Can couldn't help but laugh.

Gao Yinliu couldn't help but smile too.

"By the way, Tang Yushi, do you know why it is a big pig's hoof, not a big cow's hoof, horse's hoof, or sheep's hoof?"

The little bookbag's inquisitive eyes fell on Tang Can.

Even Gao Yinliu couldn't help being curious.

Tang Can looked stunned and didn't want to explain.

"Little Book Bag, is there really no one you like among that group of people?"

"No."

"Oh, let's go then."

Tang Can stood up to leave.

Gao Yinliu was taken aback for a moment, admiring Tang Can's demeanor in his heart.

Faced with all the provocations, Tang Can didn't take it to heart at all.

"Let's go to that ship and let these little bastards know what a leader is!"

Gao Yinliu: "..."

Spider web on the boat.

The empress heard Tang Can's words through Shangguan Wan'er's voice.

Startled for a moment, then laughed.

Across the boat, if Tang Can loses, he still has an excuse.

If it's boarding the ship, if Tang Can loses, he will be ashamed and humiliated!

"Wan'er, tell me to go down. If Tang Can doesn't behave well in a while, let me help them add fuel to the fire. This will save him from sitting in a well and looking at the sky, not knowing that there is a sky outside the sky and someone outside the world."

Shangguan Wan'er was a little weak.

Because Tang Can said this sentence just now, which is basically exactly the same as what the Empress said, with a tacit understanding.

After thinking about it, she still didn't tell the empress after all.

"Tang Yushi, isn't he a person who seeks fame and reputation?"

"Don't say a word, get off the boat and leave, this Tang Yushi is interesting."

"That's it, that's all. In that case, let's continue the literary fight."

On the shore, some of the children of the aristocratic families looked at Tang Can with somewhat puzzled looks.

Unlike Juzi, who can only talk hilariously, they heard a lot about Tang Can from their parents.

How can a person who regards the dungeon as his second home be a coward trying to gain fame?
Just as he was hesitating, Tang Can had already walked to the gangway of the main ship, and smiled at the guard: "My officer, Tang Can, is invited to participate in the Wendou."

The guard came to his senses and saluted hurriedly: "The common people have seen Tang Yushi!"

Then, he took a deep breath and shouted, "Tang Yushi, please board the ship!"

The voice spread far away, as if countless people were repeating it.

On the second floor of Louchuan, a few students who had been a little proud before chuckled lightly, shook their folding fans, and said with proud faces: "This is quite interesting."

"Yes."

"I heard that Tang Can claims to be a famous official who governs the world, how many drops of ink are there on his chest?"

"It's just a son of an official who has done some trivial things, which have been exaggerated and turned into what he is today."

"Exactly, exactly, hahaha, what Mr. Cui said is absolutely true."

Several people became more and more proud as they talked, and did not take Tang Can to heart at all.

I don't know if it's because of their nature, or because Pu Die Niang's ability is too amazing.

……

Not long after, Tang Can boarded the ship.

On the second floor, a group of students were reading poems.

Poetry is the most important thing in the literary struggle.

Winning the first prize in poetry is the leader of this year's literary competition.

There was even a person who was proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and won the fourth prize in a row, but only poetry was the only one that fell behind, so he was ridiculed for playing with things and losing his ambition for being illiterate.

That person... is Tang Can's father, Tang Ju.

The empress casually told Shangguan Wan'er about the past few years ago, and said softly: "Actually, with Tang Ju's talent, it is not impossible to win the first prize in poetry."

"It's just that Tang Ju is very disgusted with poetry. He once said that poetry is a small way, which is of no benefit to the country."

"At that time, some people argued with him, saying that music, chess, calligraphy and painting were all trivial matters."

"How do you, Tang Ju, answer?"

Shangguan Wan'er is a qualified listener: "I don't know."

A smile appeared on the corner of the empress's mouth, and she said softly: "Playing chess, calligraphy and painting, cultivates sentiment. Poems and songs are flattering."

Shangguan Wan'er was startled and couldn't help but praise: "Tang Xiang... has a true temperament."

This has been the case in all dynasties.

The poems and songs of the court officials always praised the emperor's achievements, and even glorified some small favors to the utmost extent.

No matter how gorgeous the rhetoric is, I feel that it is not enough.

But piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is another situation.

"I haven't heard that Tang Yushi is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"That's right." The corner of the empress's mouth raised a beautiful arc, and said with a smile: "So, he's going to be ashamed today, giggling~"

idiot!

Let you show off!
Today, I'm going to kill your bad temper!Don't worry, you always make trouble for me!

The Empress thought angrily.

at this time.

floor boat.

"Tang Yushi, this is the first time we meet, please give me your advice."

A student was sitting carelessly, shaking his folding fan, raising his chin, and speaking proudly.

"I'm the censor, not from the Sixth School and the Second Hall, and I'm not in charge of teaching." Tang Can said lightly, and sat down casually with Gao Yinliu and the small book bag.

The student who greeted him showed embarrassment, suppressed his anger, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Tang Yushi's family has a long history, and he is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to poetry and poetry."

"I don't know, can I ask Tang Yushilu to help?"

This is considered a provocation.

but……

Tang Can raised his right hand, smiled, and waved lightly: "Hello everyone, my official Tang Can, Suzhengtai Censor Zhongcheng, Yi County male. How about this hand?"

"Is Tang Yushi trying to overwhelm others?" The student looked arrogant and spoke again.

"Why do you say that?"

"Is not it?"

"Of course not." Tang Can said with a smile: "I introduce myself to tell you who I am. This is the most basic courtesy."

"And you have no respect for me in your words. I don't care about you because of your youth and ignorance. But you haven't even dared to say your own name for a long time. You hide your head and show your tail. You don't deserve to talk to me. Officer speak?"

boom!
The expressions of the people present all changed.

Especially that student, his face turned red and he pointed at Tang Can: "How can you be so rude!"

"mentally retarded."

Tang Can curled his lips, and said flatly: "If Wen Dou is just a kid bickering, it would be a waste of time for me to come here today."

far away.

Seeing that Tang Can had the upper hand with a few words, the empress was a little annoyed, and said angrily, "Wan'er, remember that student's name, and he will never be hired!"

The poor student studied hard in the cold window and didn't even know that he had been blacklisted by the empress.

……

"That's right, that's right. Boy Tang said it well. You bastards who don't even have full hair don't understand manners at all."

An old man looked at Tang Can with a smile on his face.

"He is Zhao Guogong, Liu Yu." Gao Yinliu said softly, afraid that Tang Can would not recognize him.

Tang Can smiled slightly, stood up, cupped his hands slightly towards Liu Yu, and greeted with a smile: "I have met Zhao Guogong."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Seeing Tang Can salute, Liu Yu's face became more joyful, and his old face smiled like a chrysanthemum in full bloom.

After all, he had seen Tang Can not even give the empress face.

Give him a salute, this time, the face will be greatly improved.

"You little bastards, learn from others." Liu Yu said contemptuously: "If Tang boy didn't come, all of you are not good enough."

"How come he is here and all of them are mute?"

All the students felt bitter in their hearts.

Of course, part of the reason was Tang Can's appearance and sharp words, which caught them off guard.

The more important reason is because of Liu Yu...or, in other words, Duke Zhao!

Liu Yu was dressed like a rich man and was always on the boat.

And they didn't think that Liu Yu was the Duke of the state, so they never tried to make contact with each other.

Missing the opportunity to hug their thighs really made them...heartbroken!
"Alright, Duke Zhao, don't scare the younger generation."

Another old man spoke.

"Fang Xiaoru, a bachelor of Hongwenguan." Gao Yinliu reminded again.

Tang Can knew Fang Xiaoru's name.

Great Liang, the most famous scholar.

He is proficient in all the classics and history.

According to rumors, besides publishing books, Fang Xiaoru has no other hobbies.

Even if he entered the Hongwen Museum, he was only studying.

Occasionally, his annotations leaked out from the palace, and they were regarded as classics by students. Basically, everyone had a copy of the exams.

It is an exaggeration to say that all the scholars in this world are his students.

In fact, there are not a few people who regard him as a saint, no matter if they are poor or noble.

However, Tang Can didn't have a good impression of Fang Xiaoru.

Because... the current Great Liang does not need bookworms.

Fang Xiaoru had a gentle smile on his face and said softly: "Literary fighting has its own rules. The imperial censor of the Tang Dynasty is not a candidate for the current examination, so I cannot participate in the competition now. Please forgive me for the censorship of the Tang Dynasty."

"After the candidates have competed and Wen Kui challenges, Tang Yushi can participate."

"Not interested." Tang Can shrugged and said casually: "I just came here to see who wanted to see my father before. I don't mind sending him to see him."

Tang Can glanced at everyone, all the students, but no one spoke.

"Heh. This is a scholar from Great Liang, he's really fucking strong."

"If the Great Liang is full of bastards like you, it's really going to be cold."

In his words, Tang Can made no secret of his disdain from the heart.

"If you dare to do it or not to be it, you deserve it?"

After speaking lightly, Tang Can shook his head and sighed heavily.

"Well said!" Liu Yu applauded again.

It's just... the students present all had ugly faces and glared at Tang Can.

Fang Xiaoru gave Tang Can a deep look, as if he didn't hear his words, and said to himself: "Everyone, if you have finished writing the poem just now, let's start."
