The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 115 Who can make mistakes without being a sage?

"Your Excellency's poems are full of vigor and vitality, fresh and vigorous."

"However, the writing is too lively and the carvings are not enough. I can only rate it as second-class!"

Yang Xiu continued his evaluation and made a conclusion.

After hearing such an unceremonious comment, the audience started talking.

"Second class? Why only second class?"

"Yes, a talented man like Liu Gonggan can only be rated as second-class?"

"Then what kind of poetry must be in order to catch Yang Dezu's eyes?"

Among the crowd there was one who was simply dressed.

But he is a scholar who stands with his sword behind his back.

After listening to Yang Xiu's comments about Liu Zhen.

He also spoke with a Yingchuan County accent and said:
"This Mr. Yang really has a unique vision."

"Liu Gongqian's poems are indeed beautiful but not true."

Hearing this, even Cao Mengde next to him looked sideways.

However, the young and energetic Liu Zhen on the stage was obviously not convinced.

Still asking stiffly: "I wonder what the basis for Young Master Yang's comments is?!"

Yang Xiu also smiled when he heard this, put his hands behind his back, and walked up and down the vast stage:
"You must know your own strengths, but if you ask about your weaknesses."

"Your poems cannot be inspired by mountains and rivers, nor can they be attributed to local customs."

"The language used is mostly flattering to the world, and in today's world, it can only be regarded as second-rate!"

Yang Xiu's comments are very touching.

There is no one today who does not think highly of themselves.

Liu Zhen is no exception. He is still very clear about his shortcomings.

However, the young man was obviously not completely convinced yet and continued to ask:
"Young Master Yang has rated me as second-class, so who do you think I am first-class?!"

"I would like to learn from you!"

When Yang Xiu heard this, he also raised his eyebrows and said:

"Since Mr. Liu has asked a question, I will say a few more words."

"The best poets in the world are undoubtedly Cao Sikong and his son Cao Zhi!"

As he spoke, he raised his hands and faced the north.

"Prime Minister Cao's poems are ancient and powerful, but also very sad."

"It can be said that he swallows the rivers and seas with anger and looks down on the world."

"The poems written by Master Cao Zhi are of extraordinary high character and brilliant words."

"It should be said that he is outstanding in both ancient and modern times."

"The poems written by these two monarchs are like human relations with Zhou Kong, and scales and feathers with dragons and phoenixes."

"If Cao Sikong comes to the palace, Mr. Cao will enter the house."

"Then you, Wang Can and other gentlemen, can sit in the corridor."

Everyone in the audience was suddenly enlightened when they heard this.

Although everyone knows it.

Yang Xiu's words were somewhat flattering to Prime Minister Cao.

However, there was nothing wrong with what he said.

The level of poetry and prose of Cao Cao and Cao Zhi is among the best in the world.

Everyone knows this without a doubt.

However, he deliberately ignored Cao Pi.

Only those who are thoughtful can detect this.

But Yang Xiu said everything in one breath and every word was precise.

Naturally, everyone in the audience clapped and applauded.

Cao Cao in the crowd heard Yang Xiu praising him on the stage.

He couldn't help but smile slightly, nodded and thought to himself:

"Yang Dezu is indeed a young talent."

On the first day of the month, the wind is judged and the talents in the world are judged.

Now after all the debate, it was Yang Xiu who stole the show.

At this time, even the three respected seniors on the stage were nodding.

Upon seeing this, Liu Zhen also lowered his head, cupped his hands and saluted:

"Master Yang, your comments are indeed fair."

"Only today do we know that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people."

"Being able to live under Cao Sikong and Zijian, I am quite convinced to sit in this verandah." "I recognize this second-class title!"

When Yang Xiu heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Next one!"

Even famous talents like Liu Zhen were convinced by the defeat.

Among the ordinary scholars in the audience, no one dared to come to the stage to ask for advice.

At this time, the Yingchuan scholar in the crowd stood with his sword behind his back.

But he slowly stepped forward and took out his article annotations from his arms.

He went on stage in front of everyone and said:
"Shan Fu, a student from Yingchuan, is here to ask Young Master Yang to comment and give advice!"

When Sima Hui saw this person coming up, his eyes lit up!
And this scholar who called himself Shan Fu also bowed to Yang Xiu.

Although Yang Xiujian behaved well at this time, his clothes were simple.

He was obviously from a poor family, and he felt a little contempt from the bottom of his heart.

However, in full view of everyone, he still said politely:
"I wonder if Young Master Shan came on stage to comment on your poems? Or your articles?"

Shan Fu handed over the bamboo slips and said, "I am studying the classics from Mr. Shui Jing."

"There are now six notes on Shangshu. I would like to invite Mr. Yang to comment on it."

"Oh?" Yang Xiu also looked back at Sima Hui after hearing this.

Although this Shan Fu was unknown, his teacher was at least on the stage.

Yang Xiu couldn't help but become a little interested.

He took the bamboo slip and turned around to salute Sima Hui.

Seeing this, Sima Hui also smiled and nodded in greeting.

Yang Xiu then slowly opened the bamboo slips and began to observe them carefully.

But when Yang Xiu read Shan Fu's annotation, his face immediately darkened.

"It can be seen at a glance that one of the six notes on Shangshu is a forgery."

After Yang Xiu said this, everyone present was surprised.

But Yang Xiu then returned the bamboo slips to Shan Fu, shook his head and said:

"Although my article contains some insights."

"But it's a pity that some of the hard work was wasted."

"Go back and rewrite another article, and try again next year!"

Sima Hui on the side also frowned when he heard this!
Shan Fu was also surprised when he heard it!
This was the first time he heard such a statement, and he couldn't help but ask: "How do you say this?"

But Yang Xiu said calmly:

"Just last year, the great scholar Zheng Xuan announced it."

"There is an article in the ancient Shangshu, 'Xian Yide', which was forged by people at that time."

Shan Fu also frowned when he heard this and argued:
"This man has such virtue and has been a minister for a long time."

"How can the entire article be abolished just because of one family's opinions?!"

"Huh?" Yang Xiu immediately asked after hearing this:

"Is Shima trying to say that Zheng Xuan is also at fault?"

When everyone present heard this, their expressions changed!
This rhetorical question is really very oppressive.

You know, the great scholar Zheng Xuan studied under Ma Rong.

Ma Rong is the grandnephew of General Fubo Ma Yuan and a famous Confucian scholar.

Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi were both students of Ma Rong.

The three masters and disciples are all famous writers, and they are models of Confucian scholars.

After Zheng Xuan traveled thousands of miles to study, he came to Donglai and gathered his disciples to teach, with thousands of disciples.

It is the most complete collection of Han classics today.

The collection of more than a million words of annotations was called "Zheng Xue" by later generations.

In today's world, Zheng Xuan is synonymous with Confucian classics!

His annotations were regarded as truth by the scholars of the time.

Yang Xiu used Zheng Xuan to defend himself, which was almost equivalent to becoming invincible.

Shan Fu could only smile when he heard this and said self-deprecatingly:

"Since Young Master Yang said so, then maybe I was wrong."

When Yang Xiu heard this, he reached out his hand and said unceremoniously:
"Go back and work hard again."

This is obviously to ask Shan Fu to step down.

Sima Hui on the stage was a little embarrassed when he saw this.

His students were treated like this by Yang Xiu.

As a teacher, his old face is also a bit embarrassing.
But just when Shan Fu stepped down, the crowd started questioning him for a lifetime!
"Who can make mistakes without being a sage? Isn't the great scholar Zheng Xuan infallible?"
