Liu Xie suddenly stood up and said loudly: "I am Liu Xie from the Four Seas Academy, I have a poem here, please everyone, take a look."

  "Ah, I see, so you're from the Four Seas Academy. It seems that a masterpiece has emerged in this world."

  "That's for sure, Four Seas Academy is the top academy after all, it's much stronger than Yue Lu Academy!"

  "Yes, today I didn't see the four great talents of the four seas appear, I don't know if they will come or not?"

  "They will definitely come, haven't you seen all those young ladies waiting for the Four Great Talents?"

  "The Four Great Talents have yet to arrive, let's see what good poetry the Four Seas Academy can still produce."

  Liu Xi's words sparked a discussion among the crowd, especially the young man who had just noticed Yang Chengye and his table.

  "It turned out to be from the Four Seas College."

  The young man sneered: "I advise you not to lose face, it's better to wait for the Four Great Masters."

  Hearing this, Liu Xie suddenly became angry and shouted loudly: "Don't look down on people!"

  The young man burst out laughing: "Then we'll listen with bated breath to your masterpiece, pray tell!"

  The young man shook his folding fan and waited for Liu Xian to compose a poem.

  Liu Xie immediately recited the poem he had just heard from Yang Chengye.

  Beyond mountains more mountains, beyond towers more towers.

  When will West Lake's singing and dancing stop?

  The warm breeze intoxicates travelers.

  Directly make Hangzhou as Bianzhou.

  Liu Xian finished speaking, and the scene suddenly fell silent. Especially that young man's mouth was wide open in surprise, it could even fit an egg inside.

  "Bang Bang Bang"

  Suddenly someone applauded and shouted: "Good poem, it's really a good poem, it has expressed the corruption of the imperial court, and spoken out our hearts."

  Everyone looked over and saw that the person applauding was Lu You.

  Lu You, also known as Wu Guan and Fang Weng, was a native of Shaoxing. He was the grandson of Lu Zhan, the Right Assistant Minister of Works. Lu You was a literary figure, historian, and patriotic poet of the Southern Song Dynasty.

  After Emperor Song Xiaozong ascended to the throne, he granted Lu You a jinshi degree, but due to his insistence on resisting the Jin dynasty, he was ostracized by the pro-peace faction.

  After Song Guangzong ascended the throne, he was promoted to Libu Langzhong and concurrently served as Shilu Yuan Jiancha Guan. Soon after, he was dismissed from office due to "satirizing the imperial court" and returned to his hometown.

  In the second year of Jiatai, he entered the capital to preside over the compilation and revision of the "Veritable Records" of Emperors Xiaozong and Guangzong, as well as the "History of Three Reigns", and rose to the position of Bao Zhang Ge Dai Zhi.

  He died in Jiading 2 years and left a farewell letter "To My Son".

  However, at this time Lu You was still a young man under twenty years old and was studying at Yunju Academy.

  Lu You admired this poem, proving that he was dissatisfied with the rulers in his heart. As soon as he heard this poem, he was filled with heroic spirit and loudly praised it.

  However, many people do not think this is a good poem, but an anti-poem that satirizes the government.

  "Bang Bang Bang"

  At this time, applause sounded again, and four young men in scholar's robes walked up.

  The one applauding was the first to stand up, holding a folding fan, with a face as round as a full moon, high forehead and eyebrows, and a pair of shining eyes, he was a rare handsome man.

  "Terrible!"

  When he saw this person, Wang Yun's face changed color, and he frequently made eye contact with Liu Xie, asking him to sit down. However, Liu Xie stood in a daze on the spot, staring at that person.

  Yang Chengye curiously asked Wang Yun: "Who is this person? Why does everyone change color when they see him?"

  Wang Yun said in a low voice: "This person's surname is Qin, his name is An, and he is the leader of the four great talents of the Four Seas Academy."

  Yang Chengye smiled and said: "Isn't he just a student? Even you, the young master of the Four Seas Academy, don't dare to look him straight in the eye?"

  Upon hearing this, Wang Yun let out a bitter smile and said: "Young Master Yang is unaware of something - this person has another identity; his father is the current prime minister, a favorite of the emperor, with power that surpasses all others in court, no one dares to oppose him."

  At this time, Yang Chengye suddenly realized that this person was actually the son of Qin Hui, also a small turtle egg, and didn't know if he could become one of the four great scholars with real talent and learning.

  After Qin An went upstairs, he looked around at the crowd and said: "The poem just now was a good poem, but it had a rebellious meaning. I don't know which scholar of Yue Lu Academy wrote it."

  The crowd fell silent, and one by one they lowered their heads, unwilling to say who had written the poem.

  At this time, Lu You stood up and said: "Qin Gongzi, today is a poetry competition, everyone is improvising poems, and we don't discuss court politics, I hope Qin brother won't mind."

  Upon hearing this, Qin An smiled and said: "So it was Young Master Lu. The other day, Minister Lu came to my residence as a guest. Since you're the one speaking, I'll naturally give you face. Let's just drop the matter."

  Lu You smiled and said: "Then thank you, Master Qin."

  Qin An nodded and said: "Since Yue Lu Academy has produced good poems, then our Four Seas Academy cannot fall behind, right?"

  "This young master also composed one, hoping everyone will appreciate it."

  Qin An cleared his throat and recited:

  Last night I stayed at a small tavern.

  "Hmm"

  Qin An finished speaking, and Yang Chengye immediately spat out the wine he had just drunk.

  This poem can be written, it's really a romantic and talented person, indeed the name is not in vain.

  But others all applauded and praised Qin An's poem as excellent, worthy of being the leader of the four great talents.

  Those flower-crazy young ladies looked at Qin An with an even more infatuated gaze.

  The praise of the crowd made Qin An float up, and he became the focus of everyone's attention, for a while forgetting himself.

  Qin An put away his folding fan and pressed down with both hands, and the scene fell silent once again.

  Qin An turned his head and said to the three people behind him: "Three brothers, shouldn't you also make a poem?"

  The three of them smiled together and said: "With Brother Qin here, where is the reason for us to make fools of ourselves?"

  This sentence of flattering made Qin An very comfortable, and his chin also raised a few more points again.

  Qin An waved his folding fan and said, "Isn't it time for us to compose poems at Yuelu Academy now?"

  The young man from Yuelu Academy smiled and said, "Qin Gongzi, your Four Seas Academy really does have hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Apart from the four great talents, are there others with excellent works?"

  "Just now that 'Outside the mountain is another green mountain, outside the building is another building', 'West Lake song and dance when to rest' was written by students from your Four Seas Academy. Why don't you compose a poem in response, so we can also open our eyes?"

  Qin An glanced around and finally fixed his eyes on Wang Yun, asking: "Was it really you who did it?"

  Wang Yunzheng was about to get up when Yang Chengye pressed down on his shoulder and stood up, saying: "It's what I did, what's wrong with it?"

  Qin An furrowed his brow and looked at Yang Chengye, asking: "You're also from the Four Seas Academy?"

  Yang Chengye smiled and said, "Not yet, I just entered the Four Seas Academy today."

  Upon hearing this, Qin An's eyes turned cold for a moment, then he smiled blandly and said: "It seems that my junior brother is also a man of great talent. Why don't you compose another poem?"

  Wang Yun again made a vigorous wink at Yang Chengyu on the side, but Yang Chengyu pretended not to see it and said, "What's wrong with that?"

  "Listen up!"
