Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1746

In the teahouse, people often debate which old story of Grandma Chi is about in the poem “Tear down until dawn and put on again”.

Some people even shed tears for this poem, "The spirit tablet flew off, the hairpin flowers were broken, the blood was splashed on the white hemp... From now on I will not worship the moon in my parents' house, for I am afraid that it will shine on the scab on my skull that has not yet healed."

The whole poem is about a mother-in-law using her son's spirit tablet to hit her already heartbroken daughter-in-law, causing her to bleed profusely and leaving scars until her death.

Some people believe that this may be an exaggeration by the lyricist for the sake of creation.

But a witness came forward to testify that "Grandma Chi often fainted when she was doing embroidery work. One time, she fainted right in the embroidery workshop, and they saw with their own eyes the scar hidden in her hair on her forehead."

The topic gradually went off track: Oh my God, the great Grandma Chi has to come out to take embroidery work?

There is a poem to prove it: The silver needle secretly passes through the cold fifth watch, the colorful thread is secretly passed among the people in the market... The debts of the rich, the sighs of the white-haired, and the crying of the children are still lingering in the ears.

How many women understood the bitterness in "Qing Qing Xian Hua" and shed tears secretly.

However, there was a group of old scholars in the Hanlin Academy who spent their whole lives studying classics. They angrily denounced the collection of poems as "inappropriate", saying, "How can you put trivial matters in the boudoir and the daily necessities into poems? It is simply a blasphemy to poetry!"

This is going to overturn the pattern of Northern Wing poetry!

The young scholars, led by Huang Xingyue, immediately retorted.

He stood in Wenyuan Pavilion holding the collection of poems, and loudly declared that this collection fully described the sufferings of the people and was the legacy of "Guofeng".

He also cited the words from the "Edict on Learning Literature" by Emperor Mingde of the contemporary dynasty, "Literature should have substance, and words should seek to be true," and directly pointed out that those romantic poems and essays were "empty and rootless."

Someone joked, "Mr. Huang, didn't you write romantic poems like 'The moon shines on the pear blossoms, the catkins wet your clothes' all day long? Now you come to lecture others?"

Huang Xingyue was not annoyed when he heard this. Instead, he solemnly put away the collection of poems in his hand and smiled, "You guys don't know. I am not talented. I was lucky enough to catch the eye of the current emperor." He bowed solemnly in the direction of the imperial city, "The emperor told me that day, 'It's okay for scholars to sing about the wind and the moon, but you should know that there are people who freeze to death.'"

Tsk! He was also impressed by this! Just the phrase "catching the eyes of the current emperor" hurt many people's hearts.

Huang Xingyue added, "In the poem 'Sound of Flower Sellers' that I wrote a few years ago, 'The thin silk clothes and heavy spring chill' described the grievances of the boudoir, but the emperor changed 'silk clothes' to 'ge clothes' to describe the busy and hard life of the weaving household's daughter."

The whole room was in uproar and ran away.

The emperor personally revised your poem? You bastard Huang Xingyue, what's the smoke coming out of your ancestral grave?

Huang Xingyue laughed and boasted, "I am a humble person, but I am lucky. The emperor changed a few key words for me with his red pen, and the price of my collection of poems tripled when I sold it in the bookstore, and it is hard to find a copy."

Poor old scholars: "!!!"

Go away, I don’t want to hear you talk!

The two factions quarreled fiercely in the Hanlin Academy, which increased the sales of "Qingqing Xianhua" several times.

It is said that when scholars in Beijing meet, they no longer ask "Have you eaten?" but instead ask "Are you a Xingyue school or a conservative school?"

On the ninth day, the Jingzhao government office was already crowded with onlookers.

The case of "unfilial granddaughter forcing her grandmother to death" that had been a commotion in the Chi family for many days, and the case of the mysterious death of the talented man in the Chi family, were opened for trial by Jingzhao Yin Zhao Liren.

What was even more shocking was that the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court and the Censorate each sent important officials to attend the ceremony, with the heads of the three departments sitting together under a plaque hanging high in front of a mirror. Such a scene had not been seen in the capital for many years.

Shi Anxia did not go to watch the trial, but only watched "Qing Qing Xian Hua" in the warm room, and said leisurely, "What's so interesting about such a small case?"
