Chapter 61: "So what I'm going to do next might be a little rude"

Governor Xu held the article copied by Xiao Jin and read it foolishly for a long time. Then he laughed three times and ordered the people to repair the Qingzhou Tower.

The repair of the Qingzhou Tower was originally not a big deal.

It was just heard that on the day when the tower was repaired, a scholar climbed the tower and looked far away while blowing the cool breeze of early spring. Suddenly, he was inspired and composed a poem on the spot.

After finishing the poem, he laughed loudly and left with a flick of his sleeve.

The anonymous scholar originally just wrote a travelogue on a whim.

However, a private school teacher who was present was so fascinated by it that he picked up the paper left behind by the scholar and read it to his students and family.

It spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

The travelogue that the scholar wrote casually finally caused a sensation in the entire Qingzhou City.

People came from far and wide to climb the Qingzhou Tower and look at the water of the Moon Crossing River. They saw the green willows by the river and the lanterns hanging high in the city, which was a scene of pure and bright beauty. They began to praise Governor Xu's achievements.

For a while, young and old alike praised Governor Xu for being honest and upright, a good official for the country and the people.

When the "Record of the Qingzhou Tower" reached the capital, it sparked a huge controversy.

Although some people said that this travelogue was probably written by Governor Xu's men in order to win fame, even if it was intentional, this person combined parallel prose and free verse so cleverly, with clear and beautiful language and lofty thoughts, that it was simply superior to countless famous poems of the past century.

Although the old scholars in the Hanlin Academy didn't seem to like this travelogue on the surface, they couldn't help but take out the copied text to read it carefully after leaving the court.

"What a great talent, truly a remarkable talent of this world!"

When this matter reached the palace, Xiao Shuang was standing on the Moon-Viewing Platform with Zhao Hua, enjoying the flowers.

Tang Yu presented a piece of paper with the travelogue respectfully.

Xiao Shuang casually looked at the flowers and glanced at the content on the paper.

Then she dismissed the palace people, frowned, and repeated the words on it, "'Worry about the worries of the world before the world worries, enjoy the happiness of the world after the world enjoys happiness'?"

"Is this something Xu Fanghai(Governor Xu) asked someone to write?"

After glancing at Xiao Shuang's expression, Tang Yu whispered, "I have investigated, and there should be no one around Governor Xu who can write such sentences."

After reading it, Xiao Shuang folded the paper and smiled, "You never like to read or appreciate literature. Why are you so sure now that this article can only be written by a literary genius?"

Tang Yu smiled bitterly and replied, "Your Highness, this article has already spread throughout the capital. Even if I am ignorant, I still know that the author of this travel journal is very talented. Even the great master of the literary world, Mr. Gong Sun from Da Qi, praised it and felt inferior to it. So, I naturally understand how exquisite its content is."

Hearing this, Princess Zhao Hua also smiled and agreed, "The few passages that Princess read out just now are indeed well-written and easy to understand, much easier to remember than the obscure and difficult articles written by Mr. Gong Sun."
