Chapter 695 Did I Say Something Wrong

"Master Hou, although your poems are really good, but those people must have prepared long ago, and they won't just compete in poems. What should we do if we lose?" Xu Geng smiled wryly.

"I figured it out. What's the next thing to do in the competition? You want me to find some great Confucian scholars to teach in the academy?" Lin Xuan said angrily.

He said he couldn't invite foreign aid, he couldn't lose, and he was not an opponent. After saying so much, Lin Xuan finally understood what Xu Geng meant.

Xu Geng smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "Master Hou, if the college wants to grow and develop, it must have great Confucianism in charge."

Lin Xuan understood what Xu Geng meant, it was nothing more than the famous teacher effect, but where could he find the great Confucianism?

He was born in a family of merchants, and in ancient times when family background was valued, it can be said that it could not be lower.

Not to mention great Confucian scholars, people like Xu Geng came out of the Imperial College, if they were not from humble backgrounds, even with the help of Kong Yingda, these people would not be able to teach in Boyuan Academy.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao worked hard to recruit some talents and lay down a small piece of land.

And what about Yuan Shao?

With the name of the fourth generation and third father of the Yuan family alone, a large number of talents have taken refuge in them and directly ruled the north.

Liu Bei was even worse. Although he claimed to be a relative of the Han family before, he could not prove it, so he could not recruit any talents at all in the early stage.

If it weren't for the two sworn brothers who couldn't wait to recruit Zhuge Liang, he would be finished.

Later, in order to fight against Cao Cao, Liu Xie won over Liu Bei and recognized Liu Bei's clan status. Only when Liu Bei entered Jingzhou did so many people join him.

In ancient times, birth was more important than knowledge.

Don't look at Lin Xuan is now a marquis and a son-in-law, those famous Confucian scholars will not ignore him at all.

Not to mention Lin Xuan, even Li Shimin, sometimes those great Confucians don't give face, let alone him.

"I will think of a way to do this. You should reply to them first and ask about the competition. I will make preparations earlier." Lin Xuan said.

"Then I'll take my leave first." Xu Geng got up and said.

……

In a house in Chang'an East City, more than 20 people were sitting in the hall at this time.

Some of these people are 50 to 70 years old, and some of them are almost [-] years old.

In addition to the more than 20 people who were doing it, there were one or two young people in their 20s who were dressed as scholars standing behind each of them.

So many people made the originally relatively large hall look a bit crowded.

"Everyone, Boyuan Academy sent someone to say that they agree to the competition, and the time will be three days later."

A silver-haired old man in the middle said.

This person's name is He Yu, he is the dean of Taihe Academy, and he is even a great Confucian.

Taihe Academy has been established for nearly a hundred years, and it has trained countless students. Now many officials of the Tang Dynasty have studied in Taihe Academy.

Therefore, He Yu is very respected, and his reputation in Confucianism is definitely worse than that of Kong Yingda, but in Shandong, where Taihe Academy is located, it can be said that everyone knows everyone.

"The old man thought that Boyuan Academy would not take part in the war. Since they are so ignorant, let's let them know that not just anyone can open the academy."

"That's right, a son of a merchant who was lucky enough to be enshrined as a nobleman, since he has also established an academy, it is simply a mistake."

There were sneering, disdainful, and plain expressions among those sitting, all with a relaxed expression.

"Everyone, we have so many colleges competing with a small college that has just been built. It is inevitable to win, but we not only want to win, but also to win beautifully. Let's talk about it together, what is the appropriate comparison?" He Yu asked.

It would be abnormal for so many of their academies to lose. Not only can they not lose, but they must win with a complete victory.

Otherwise, not only would it not achieve the purpose of attacking Boyuan Academy, but it would also help Boyuan Academy.

This is like a fight between an adult and a child. The adult will definitely win, but if the adult gets punched, even if it doesn't hurt, it will be embarrassing.

"In the competition, poetry must be compared, but Lin Xuan is very good at writing poetry, and it may not be easy to win." A college representative said.

Everyone was a little silent. In fact, these words were a little bit of gold for them.

They had all heard the poems written by Lin Xuan, and none of them dared to say that their poems were better than Lin Xuan's.

Tang poetry and Song Ci, the Tang Dynasty was the peak time in history in terms of poetry.

There is a saying in later generations.

Familiar with three hundred Tang poems, you can chant even if you don't know how to write poems.

The reason why Tang people love poetry so much is because the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty depended on poetry.

This also makes poetry writing a trend, forming a form of leisure that is popular with all people.

Coupled with the emergence of great poets such as Li Bai and Du Fu, it also made Tang poetry more brilliant.

But when poetry reached its peak, it was in the middle Tang Dynasty, and there were not many famous great poets in the early Tang Dynasty.

And the poems copied by Lin Xuan are all famous poems passed down through the ages, these people are even more incomparable.

But although poetry was not as prosperous in the early Tang Dynasty as it was in the middle Tang Dynasty, if you want to compete, it is still a question that you can't skip.

"Everyone, I don't think so. The old man admits that the poem "Plum Blossom" written by Lin Xuan at the Wei Wang Poetry Conference is a rare masterpiece. But the title at that time was snow, and although there is snow in his poem, it has nothing to do with snow. relationship. The old man suspected that he had written this poem in advance. He couldn’t make a good poem at that time, so he had to take that one as the top. As long as we set the topic on the spot and set a time limit, he would definitely not be able to do it.” Another academy said the representative.

"Brother Liu is right. A good poem is crafted with great care. I don't believe he can make that kind of good poem that has been passed down through the ages in a short period of time."

"That's right, in order to prevent him from being prepared, he can make a little deviation when setting the question, and he will definitely lose."

Many people agreed. As for Lin Xuan, whether it would be difficult for them, they didn't think about it at all. Just kidding, there is no reason for them to lose when they set a question.

"Apart from poetry?" He Yu asked.

He didn't express any objection to comparing poetry, nor did he agree, but he directly asked what else to compare besides comparing poetry, and the subconscious meaning was that he agreed.

It's just that what those people said just now was obviously plotting against Lin Xuan. He couldn't agree directly because of his face.

"In addition to the poetry that must be compared, there are also words." A representative of the academy said.

And his words made the hall fall into silence, and everyone looked at him strangely.

Suddenly being watched by so many people, the speaker also jumped, and asked cautiously: "Did I say something wrong?"

What did you say wrong?

You have to compare words with Lin Xuan, are you kidding me?

Although they looked down on Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan was the one who created a new typeface.

If it's just a new font, it's okay to compare them with calligraphy. No matter how good your font is, it's useless to write ugly.

But the problem is that Lin Xuan's calligraphy is also very good. Didn't Li Shimin collect Lin Xuan's calligraphy?

How does this compare them?

A person with a good relationship with the speaker saw that he hadn't reacted yet, so he quickly explained to him in a low voice.
