Seeing Cheng Hui stand up, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then they all realized that he was going to eliminate Song Chi directly.
He was originally the last person to ask a question, but he asked the second one. His intention is known to everyone. He is not even pretending.
Cheng Hui is the president of Nandu Academy and a contemporary scholar. In order to protect Song Ming, he actually took such a controversial action.
Song Chi sneered, not caring about his reputation anymore.
Sun Qu wanted to say something but stopped himself. Finally, he sighed and endured it.
He was not a member of the literary party. He accepted Song Chi's poem "Jiang Cheng Zi" and should help at this time, but he still had the Huating Academy and so many students behind him...
He was also extremely helpless.
Hao Yongzhen had the same expression, but he could only shake his head and sigh.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows Song Chi's talent. Not to mention now, even if we look back ten years, we may not see such a genius.
But he couldn't speak.
The Four Great Scholars of Jiangnan were renowned, so why is he the only one still alive? The golden mean is the key to survival.
Cheng Hui had no expression on his face and said calmly, "The topic I asked is about plum blossoms..."
The theme is plum blossom again.
Song Chi was about to vomit.
Just because Song Shiwen loved plum blossoms, the entire literary gathering contained an excessive amount of plum blossoms.
He knew it wouldn't be that simple.
"Compose a nine-character poem on the theme of plum blossoms. This is my topic."
As soon as Cheng Hui finished speaking, there was an immediate cry of surprise.
Tang Yan subconsciously looked at his teacher, but saw Hao Yongzhen shaking his head imperceptibly. Only then did he realize that he was too naive.
He also wanted to win the championship and inherit the title of the Four Great Talents from his master. Now it seems that he was thinking too much...
Fang Yingwu's face flushed red. He wanted to speak, but he was unwilling to hold back.
What can I do if I can't bear it? It won't change anything.
"I quit!" He was disheartened and felt that attending this literary gathering was a waste of time. He would rather spend that time drinking and having fun in a brothel.
Gu Rongshan frowned, thinking that by doing this, aren't they afraid of causing public opinion among scholars?
Such a grand literary gathering, yet they dare to do this? If they want Song Ming to win first place, then just make it happen...
wrong.
Song Chi didn't even change his expression. Could he still do that?
Gu Rongshan's brows relaxed.
"Nine-word poem..."
Tang Yan laughed at himself.
A nine-word poem is one in which each line has nine words, with no limit on the number of lines.
Usually they are five or seven words long, which is extremely difficult to write in a short time, but such a topic was given.
There are not many nine-character poems that have been circulated, and even fewer are good ones.
But he clearly saw that Song Ming's expression did not change at all, not even a hint of surprise!
This shows that he knew what the test would be about and had prepared for it in advance.
No one else can do it, only he can do it, there is no doubt... he is the leader!
Boring.
It's meaningless.
Tang Yan looked at Song Chi and said sincerely, "If you can win the first place, I will willingly become your disciple, perform the teacher's ceremony when I see you, and address you as my teacher!"
At this moment, he only hoped that Song Chi could become the leader, and he was unwilling to become the leader.
"Okay." Song Chi responded.
He guessed that the question was not supposed to be asked like this originally. It was a backup question, to be used in case something unexpected happened and Song Ming could not win the championship.
Normally it wouldn't be like this, but things changed because of his appearance!
But this also completely exposed the fact that Song Ming had made preparations in advance, causing public outrage and resentment.
Fang Yingwu, regardless of the occasion, said directly, "I didn't make any announcements before the literary gathering, but if you can become the champion, I will take you to any of Jiangzhou's brothels or Liyuan."
Song Chi shook his head and said, "If I can win the first place, all four courtesans will be mine. Why would I need you to take me to a brothel?"
Fang Yingwu was stunned.
There are four big houses in Jiangzhou, each of which has a courtesan, known as the Four Great Courtesans.
They are now on the sixth floor of Wangjiang Tower. If they win the championship, they can go up and stay here overnight.
What he mentioned was indeed unattractive.
Moreover, after winning the first prize in the literary competition, he became famous. Song Chi also produced so many excellent works. The beauties in the brothels would probably go crazy. They would not need him to take them with them. They would probably ask Song Chi to come to their homes.
Tang Yan said: "Why don't you also follow me and become my disciple."
"That's fine." Wu Hai sat on the sidelines and watched the fun.
"There's no need to become my disciple. I can do you a favor."
Fang Yingwu said, "As long as we do it."
This condition was already quite high, and it was obvious that he was fed up with the injustice of the conference.
"Okay." Song Chi agreed.
"Song Chi, you haven't won the championship yet, I don't believe you can do it!"
Seeing several people talking to each other, Song Ming's face became ferocious.
He will definitely be the first!
Cheng Hui released this question to ensure that he would win the first place.
It wouldn't have been like this originally, but the current situation came about because of Song Chi's appearance.
Moreover, Song Chi's work is definitely not as good as his.
Because his poems were written by Cheng Hui.
"How difficult is that!"
Song Chi said directly: "Write!"
The scholar who was writing over there looked excited. What Song Chi wrote must be a masterpiece. The first copy he wrote was the first draft.
"In the tenth month of late winter and early spring, the sun returns, and the green buds of plum blossoms bloom early on the southern branches."
He recited the first verse and Wu Hai stood up immediately.
"I have not yet sent the gift to Lu Kailong, but my longing for my classmate Lu has suddenly come down to me."
In the second stanza, Fang Yingwu shakes his hands and makes a fist.
"The song ends, the water tune sinks into the bright moon pond, the dance breaks the mountain fragrance, and the jade shatters on the wind terrace."
In the third section, Cheng Hui, who had a calm expression, looked shocked.
"I hate the high building's 'Three Tunes' calling for the cloud flute, but I can't help but hear the 24th flower message."
