Yang Zheng nodded and said, "Of course!" After speaking, he glanced around, and saw that he had successfully attracted everyone's attention, and he was secretly proud in his heart, and said in his heart: No wonder these people want to come out one by one, this taste is not bad!"

"I see that you are all friends for many years, and you are both champions, Shu Jishi, if you fight for this little thing, not only will it hurt each other's feelings, but it will not look good when it spreads, and if it gets to the court and angers the emperor, I think everyone is also unwilling?"

Everyone nodded, and Zeng Heling said: "That's right!" ”

Yang Zheng said: "But today's game has been prepared by both sides for many days, if you don't distinguish the winner or loser, you don't want to agree, yes or no?" ”

Xing Kuan glanced at Zeng Heling and said, "Exactly!" ”

Yang Zheng smiled and said: "Xia Guan understands your thoughts, so he gets along with a way to get along with the best of both worlds, which will not let you fight, but also let you share your responsibilities?" ”

Zeng Heling snorted coldly and said, "Is there such a good way in the world? The official is a little curious? “

Yang Zheng smiled faintly and said: "My method is also simple, you can both withdraw from a person who has learned people, and then compete with me, what topic to come up, it can be piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or others, and then Suzhou's Shu Jishi launched a talented scholar, as if the official tried to see how many levels won me, if the third level won me, and Hangzhou's won me in the second level, that is Hangzhou's win, and in turn Suzhou wins, I don't know what you think of this method?" ”

After thinking about it, everyone felt that although this method was a bit ridiculous, it was a good way to do it for now, and they all shouted: "This method is wonderful! ”

Yang Zheng glanced at Zeng Heling and Xing Kuan again: "What do the two adults think?" ”

Zeng Heling said: "Smile: "Wonderful, wonderful!" ”

Xing Kuan nodded and said, "It's really a good way to get the best of both worlds!" This is not only fair, but also allows you not to hurt the peace, and it is rare that you can still distinguish the winner from the loser! That's a good idea! ”

Yang Zheng said: "In this case, then you both choose the candidates, right?" “

Hangzhou's Dao: "Zeng Daren is the champion today, so we will push him?" ”

Not to be outdone, Suzhou said: "Lord Xing is the champion of Grandpa Cheng's imperial pen, and we also pushed him!" ”

Xing Kuan and Zeng Heling each showed joy on their faces, but they were not ambiguous, and they each hugged their fists at the crowd and said: "Thank you for your love, we will never live up to the trust!" After speaking, he said to Yang Zheng: "Lord Yang, who will you come with first!" “

Yang Zheng thought for a while and said, "Since it is three people, then you might as well come together, so that you can see the wins and losses more clearly, how about it?" “

The two of them already had this meaning, and nodded when they heard the words: "That's exactly what I mean!" “

Yang Zheng said: "Okay, let's compare what first, the two adults will come up with the question first, right?" “

Zeng Heling thought for a while and said, "Wait, Zeng still has something unknown?" ”

Yang Zheng said: "Lord Zeng, please speak?" ”

Zeng Heling said: "Lord Yang's method is a good method, but if neither of us can win against you, then what?" ”

Everyone exclaimed, you must know that these two people are today's famous champions, and there are people in this world who can't compare to poetry and songs? “

Zeng Heling stared at Yang Zheng, unmoved, Yang Zheng nodded and said: "This is still a thing, this is easy to do, if the two adults can't compare to me, it can only mean that the talents of the two adults have not yet learned home, will this kind of academic debate in the future, or cancel it, let's spend more energy to think, how to worry about the world first, and how about the joy of the world after the world?" ”

If Zeng Heling and Xing Kuan say this, everyone can still believe it, after all, they are the champions of the world, but Yang Zheng said this, whether it is Zeng Heling and Xing Kuan who feel unconvinced, even the Shu Jishi in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Jiangxi, Anhui, and Shandong are also unconvinced, and they feel that this kid is too arrogant.

It's no wonder that these guys have gone through layers of exams, stood out from the imperial examinations, and became the pride of the sky.

The champion of one out of 10,000 people can be described as the dragon among people and the pride of the sky, its glory, its prominence, and its dignity are simply the peak, and they should be the envy of everyone, rather than being so belittled, how not to be angry, many people have shouted and scolded.

Yang Zheng had a smile on his face, and he was not nervous, in fact, in the final analysis, he did it on purpose, although these people are talented, but there are only a handful of people who can really be called first-class people. Among the champions, there are more than a dozen people such as Wang Wei, Liu Gongquan, Chen Liang, Lv Mengzheng, Wang Shipeng, Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Xiaoxiang, Weng Tonghe, etc. They are the proud heroes of the Chinese nation. However, on the whole, the champion is not worthy of the name, most of them have a false appearance, quite mediocre, even idiot champions who only know a few words, straw bag champions, exams may not be able to test a person's knowledge level, poems are well written, Baguwen is done well, may not be an official. The champion is not as good as Jinshi, and Jinshi is not as good as the phenomenon of falling to the first child, not to mention that most of the champions are hand-picked, and the emperor's knowledge level and hobbies directly affect the prime of the champion. Most of them admit champions based on their own hobbies and moods, and there is no objective standard to measure, or they are judged by their appearance, or they are favored by their good names, and many people who are really talented and learn are excluded. The habit of scholars vying for fame and fortune has also formed the dark side of society. Cheating is commonplace, such as entrainment, impersonation, buying gunners, stealing or buying test questions, etc. There is a rich high school, and the name of the rich falls to Sun Shan.

It can be seen that the admission of champions is not all impartial. This is also why the champions of the past dynasties are not as good as the people who have fallen into Sun Mountain, Yang Zheng's move today is to take the opportunity to strike at this group of arrogant sons of heaven who have no one in their eyes, so his eyes are also full of provocative looks.

Zeng Heling smiled, suddenly turned around and said, "Lord Xing, what do you think?" ”

Xing Kuan has a strange nature, and laughed for a while: "Lord Yang's words sound a little arrogant, but it's not bad to be arrogant once in life, if I and Lord Zeng are not Lord Yang's opponents, what kind of face do we have to continue to fight, just what Lord Yang said!" ”

Zeng Heling also thought so, nodded and said, "Okay, that's it?" ”

"My day, Lao Tzu still thinks that you hold the champion archway, it seems that you are not arrogant and invincible?" nodded and said, "Okay, who of the two will come first!" ”

Xing Kuan said: "Lord Zeng is the champion of Yongle for 19 years, how can you say that he is also a senior, or Lord Zeng came first?" ”

Zeng Heling was not polite, and thought for a while: "Since the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, there have been Tang poems and Song songs, and after I ascended the throne to Hong Wuye, I became famous in the world with couplets, and this first question should start with couplets." I wonder what the two of you think? ”

Yang Zheng and Xing Kuan said: "It's okay! “

Zeng Heling thought for a while and said: "In the early years, the official went to Jiangxin Temple and saw that there was a link, so let's take it as the link for the first question." "The fog is scattered, the fog is scattered, the fog is scattered-?"

As soon as this couplet came out, everyone began to mumble, and after a while, the house became lively, Zeng Heling glanced at Yang Zheng and said, "Lord Yang, are you right for the next couplet?" “

Yang Zheng smiled, and he didn't panic much, this pair was used to match them when they were in junior high school in their previous life, and at that time they felt that this couplet was indeed a good couplet, with far-reaching meanings and artistic conception. With the techniques of overlapping words, homophony, and top truth, and using the characteristics of multiple and multiple meanings in Chinese characters, we skillfully write down this wonderful couplet that has been passed down for thousands of years. The joint language vividly depicts the majestic weather of the Oujiang River, the east of the big river, and the lonely island. It's rare to read the couplet is also peculiar, at that time I was very fascinated by this couplet, and then I understood this reading, but I didn't think that this pair was so difficult, and slowly I forgot it, I didn't expect that once after five hundred years, I could still meet this pair, I couldn't help but feel funny.

Everyone saw that he was just laughing, but he didn't speak, and thought that he couldn't be on top, many people began to talk about the wind and cold, looking at his appearance, there was not much knowledge in his belly, I am afraid that I don't even know how to read this pair! “

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted a burst of laughter.

Yang Zheng sighed lightly, and suddenly felt a little sad, the talents cultivated by the dignified Ming for decades are such arrogant characters, I don't know if it is the sorrow of the Ming Dynasty, or the sorrow of these talents.

"Lord Yang has a downlink?" Zeng Heling asked softly.

Xing Kuan glanced at Yang Zheng, it is not difficult to say that this pair is not difficult, but it is not easy to match, if you don't understand the mystery of the recitation, even if you want to break your head, you can't do it, and for a while she showed a trace of sympathy for Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng nodded and said: "It's not difficult to make this couplet, if I read it correctly, this couplet should be foggy chaochao, chaochaochao, chaochaochao chao!" “

Everyone's muttering immediately became a little smaller, and Zeng Heling smiled: "If you can read, you may not be able to match it!" “

Yang Zheng said: "That's not necessarily! As soon as the words fell, he said loudly: "The tide is long, long “

Yang Zheng's voice was not loud, but at this time, everyone's eyes were focused on him, everyone could hear this sentence clearly, and someone smiled and said: "Is this the next link, it's good to be neat and tidy?" “

Zeng Heling smiled indifferently and said, "It's really interesting!" “

The first round is not to win or lose, and then it is Xing Kuan's turn, he glanced at Yang Zheng, and saw that although he was dressed in Confucian clothes, he had an extraordinary bearing, but he didn't dare to underestimate him, and said in a deep voice: "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as-?" “

As soon as this couplet came out, Yang Zheng sneered, this guy played the hidden word couplet, and after a little thought, he had the answer, and said with a smile: "The drunkard's intention is not there-? “

^^^^^

Wang Shipeng's Jiangxin Temple in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, a small story: It is rumored that Wang Shipeng went to Lin'an (Hangzhou) to catch the exam, and when he passed by Yongjia Mansion (Wenzhou), he wanted to spend less money and find a quiet place, so he went to Jiangxinyu in Oujiang to stay in Zhongchuan Temple. The abbot of the temple was snobbish, and when he saw Wang Shipeng's shabby clothes, he was a little unhappy at first. Wang Shipeng said: "I am the son of Yueqing County who went to the exam, begging for a night. ”

The abbot had a little ink in his chest, and when he heard that it was a scribe who begged for help, he couldn't refuse, so he said: "The poor monk also loves Wenmo, I don't know if the son can write a poem?" ”

"Don't dare, ten friends know a little bit about it." Wang Shipeng said.

"That's good, we still need a pair of couplets at the mountain gate of our temple, please make up the wall."

"Ah, I'm not a shallow learner, I don't dare, I don't dare."

During the resignation, the abbot thought that he really wouldn't, so he said coldly: "I don't want to play, and it's inconvenient for our temple to stay." ”

Wang Shipeng was stunned in his heart, knowing that the monk was difficult, so he said casually: "Since this is the case, please propose." ”

The abbot did not understand the level, looked up at the clouds, looked down at the tide, and said, "Take 'cloud' and 'tide' as the opposite." After speaking, I asked Xiao Shami to get pen and ink. Wang Shipeng didn't think about it, and immediately wrote:

The clouds are scattered;

The tide is long, long, long, long, long,

When the abbot saw it, he couldn't read it, and said very angrily: "I see that you are pretending to be Sven, you have recognized a few words in your life!" ”

Wang Shipeng was amused in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Master, don't be angry, listen to me read it:

clouds, chaochao, chaochao, chaochao;

Tide, long, long, long. ”

It turns out that "chao" and "long" can be read and interpreted twice. The five characters "chao" in Shanglian 2, 4, 5, 7, and 9 are all pronounced as "zháo", which is interpreted as morning or daytime. The rest is pronounced "cháo 朝", which is the "朝" of pilgrimage, pilgrimage, and pilgrimage. The three characters of the next couplet, three, six, and eight, are all pronounced as "zháng rise", which is synonymous with the word. The rest is homonymous with the word "cháng". Wang Shipeng read through, and the meaning of the text became:

Clouds, early dynasty, day and day dynasty, early morning and early dispersion;

The tide rises for a long time, often rises, often rises and often disappears.

When the abbot heard this, he blushed, but his anger did not subside, and he shook his head and said: "But so, if you are a high talent, you can compose four more verses of the poem, and each sentence must be the same side." ”

Wang Shipeng thought that the monk clearly thought that I was poor and deliberately made things difficult. What do you care about with these people? He didn't think much about it, so he picked up his pen and swiped it:

The deep waves of the Zhejiang Haijiang River are longing for resentment and sorrow;

The guest officer stays in the cold window at night, and travels far and near.

The old monk stepped forward to take a look, and there was nowhere to find fault. But he was still unwilling, and wanted to make things difficult, but because of his mediocre mind, he couldn't think of any tricks, so he shouted very reluctantly: "Amitabha! I had to let Wang Shipeng into the couch. This combination of words is peculiar, ingenious, several readings, far-reaching, constituting artistic conception. With the techniques of overlapping words, homophony, and top truth, and using the characteristics of multiple and multiple meanings in Chinese characters, we skillfully write down this wonderful couplet that has been passed down for thousands of years. The joint language vividly depicts the majestic weather of the Oujiang River, the east of the big river, and the lonely island. The words "chao2" in the pronunciation of "tide" and "long zhang3" in the pronunciation of "rise" are used as verbs in the couplet, referring to coming and growing. The above sentences are broken according to "three, three, four". Meaning: The white clouds that come from the sea are like pious pilgrims, coming one after another every morning, and then quickly disperse - O clouds of heaven, which gather and scatter; The tide of the mighty river rises and falls with the pulse of the sea, rises and falls frequently, and then slowly recedes -- the tide of the Oujiang River, rising from time to time, rising and disappearing, the natural phenomenon of repetition and endless growth, the concise summary of the Tongguò language, and the ingenious arrangement of words and sounds, seem to have a special meaning. This couplet has a unique structure and ingenuity, which is puzzling at first glance, but it is interesting to taste. The explanation here is purely to illustrate, not counting the number of words, the three thousand words of the text have been sent, so don't spray me! ）
