After three rounds of drinking, everyone's compliments and politeness! Li You, one of the four horses of Xianyang, stood up and said: "In Xia Li You, I have heard the name of Meng Fuzi for a long time. Li You failed to choose a horse this time, and he always believed that it was because his combat achievements were not as good as Montenegro, although he was known as the four masters of Xianyang Chinese martial arts. He hopes to ask for a prize in front of Meng Zhao, and his talent will definitely be famous in the world in the future. After saying this, many people thought that Li You was going to challenge Meng Fuzi's Wencai in front of the King of Qin, and many people felt that this was Li You's inadequacy, but more people agreed with Li You's statement for the sake of Li Si.

Meng Zhao smiled and said: "Literati and ink writers, arguing and arguing, Daya!" My Confucianism stands by the six arts of calligraphy, etiquette, royalty, music, mathematics and archery. I have heard that Xianyang Four Horses are famous, Li Gongzi is known as Xianyang Four Horses Chinese Wu Shuangquan, do you want to ask those arts? "Since ancient times, literati have been despised by each other, although Meng Zhao disdains to compete with others, but the King of Qin is invited to give a big gift today, and I don't know how many people are not convinced! If we don't teach these crazy people a lesson today, we don't know the breadth and profundity of Confucianism at all.

"Good! Shandong scholars are all light on me Daqin, we will have a meeting today, open a debate, no matter which art of the six arts, get the most reward! "King Qin was overjoyed, and he offered a reward at the moment.

Everyone listened, all excited, if they can get the color, the bounty is not mentioned, and it will be famous all over the world, appreciated by the King of Qin, and the soaring yellow is just around the corner.

Prime Minister Wang Juan said: "We must not only compete, but also take poetry first, and then get the best calligraphy appreciation and music songs." Finally, let's compare archery. Ceremony, number, and royal can be discussed another day due to the limited space! How is it? (Confucian books contain writings, poetry, and calligraphy)

People from have responded. Wang Juan proposed again, ask King Qin to ask the question.

"As the saying goes, the moon of fifteen is sixteen round, and tonight the moon is in the sky, as bright as day, so I will write poetry with the bright moon as the theme!" King Qin said.

After King Qin finished speaking, everyone pondered.

"I'll come first," Li Youcai thought quickly and took the lead in chanting:

"The children of the Qin family love Fangfei, and the moonlight plum blossoms are like a dream.

Who doesn't like thin snow on winter nights? Red makeup wraps in chunhui. ”

"Color!" As soon as Li You finished chanting, he immediately attracted a round of applause.

One of the four horses of Xianyang, Wang Wen also stood up and said to everyone: "Students are not talented, compose a poem, and ask Meng Fuzi to comment on one or two, it should be a brick throw."

The Master came southeast,

The feast is given in Zhangtai.

Delicacies and wines like day?

A bright moon is like the white sun. ”

"Color!" Wang Wen sang, and more people cheered!

Everyone commented for a while, and they all felt that the two poems had their own merits, and no one stood up again. Li You and Wang Wen saluted Meng Zhao at the same time and said, "Please give me more advice!" ”

said that it meant teaching, but he really wanted to bring Meng Zhao to the army. Montenegro thought to himself, let the teacher compare poems with these people, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will lose his value. So he also stood up, drank a big duke, waved his hands to King Qin and Meng Zhao, and saluted everyone, and said: "In the Lower Black Mountain, Master Meng is the most unsuccessful student, and he usually doesn't dare to mention the teacher's name, for fear of ruining the teacher's reputation." The teacher is the bright moon in the sky, how can he compete with the stars? Tonight, Montenegro also made a poem to enjoy with everyone! ”

As soon as Montenegro's words came out, everyone was in an uproar, except for King Qin, Wei Yu and Yingben, everyone only knew that Montenegro was a fierce general with great military achievements, and no one knew that Montenegro was a disciple of the Confucian master Meng Zhao.

Li You was also taken aback, but when he thought that Montenegro joined the army at the age of sixteen, no matter how talented he was, he couldn't be much better, and he made a fool of himself just to vent his grievances. Then he said: "Montenegro, you and I have served as a thousand cavalry generals under Meng Tian's tent, you are brave and good at fighting, we admire you!" But when it comes to poetry composition, you better forget it! Save yourself from embarrassing Meng Fuzi! ”

As soon as Li You's voice fell, many sycophants agreed. Li Si on the side was in a hurry, he had already learned the Wencai of Montenegro in Ba County, and hurriedly shouted: "Li You must not be rude, how can the senior disciples of Meng Fuzi allow you to be underestimated!" I don't know how thick the sky is, and I don't retreat! ”

did not wait for Li You to retreat. The king of Qin spoke, saying: "The scholars are arguing, just like this, they are young and vigorous, and the widow does not like the old-fashioned people." Montenegro, there are masterpieces to recite quickly! ”

Montenegro picked up a jue of wine, stood in the middle, and sang Su Dongpo's "When is the Bright Moon":

"When is the bright moon? Ask the sky for wine. I don't know the heavenly palace, what year is it tonight? I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high place is unbearable. Dancing to figure out the shadow, how does it seem to be in the world?

Turn Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu, shine sleeplessly. There should be no hatred, what is the long time to say goodbye? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. ”

After singing, there was silence all around. Montenegro secretly thought: Compare poetry with me, how many eternal swan songs in later generations are all memorized in your mind.

"Color!" After a while, Wang Juan took the lead in applauding: "Worthy of Master Meng's high apprentice, this song can be passed down through the ages!" Only then did everyone wake up from the poetry and cheered.

Li was still standing in the middle at this time, his face was red and white for a while, and he was very embarrassed. Suddenly, he said stubbornly: "Montenegro can compose poetry, why should I wait for it to be paid?" This poem must have been written by Master Meng, and it was stolen by you! ”

The crowd whispered! Such a long swan song for the ages, reading it in passing, is really suspicious!

Montenegro said with a smile: "Who can sing "Chasing Orders on a Snowy Night", sing with me!" ”

"Chasing Orders on a Snowy Night" was spread all over the world earlier, and the court musicians had already practiced countless times, and when they started playing, everyone present sang together: "The moon black geese fly high, and the single escapes at night." If you want to chase away the light horsemen, the snow is full of bows and knives. ”

As soon as everyone finished singing together, Montenegro smiled: "Another song of "Loyal to the Country"! After saying that, the musicians began to play again, and everyone sang this famous song again!

As soon as the song ended, Montenegro said, "Is there anyone who hasn't heard the poetry I wrote now?" ”

"Yours on both songs? Wang Wen said in surprise, "I've admired it for a long time, but I didn't know that it was actually you!" ”

"If you don't know which general has chased Da Shan Yu in the snowy night, you should know that Da Shan Yu's head is cut!" Wei Yu spoke!

"That doesn't prove that you wrote that song just now! Unless you make another one. Li You was difficult to ride a tiger, his neck was stiff, and he was released.

"When Montenegro accompanied the King of Qin to inspect Zheng Guoqu, he made "Autumn Thoughts" and "Biansai" on the spot. It is also sung all over the country early! "At that time, I recorded it in the history of the country by hand. His literary talent is unmatched! Feng Qiji said.

King Qin said: "Montenegro, you compose another poem, and you have to be the most important today!" No one dares to disagree! ”

Montenegro thought for a moment and groaned:

"Jiuzhou has a bright moon, and Huaxia He Qixiong?

After 500 years of hegemony, there were more than 10 million casualties.

Ximu Lixin began to change the law, and six generations of Qin Jun worked hard. Millions of sharp soldiers sent out of the valley, and the four seas returned to Qin for a day. ”

Montenegro finished reading his debut novel, and it was enough to shut everyone up!

"Millions of sharp people sent letters to the valley, and the four seas returned to Qin for a day. Good! This poem is liked by the widow! Tonight, take the poems of Montenegro as the most! On the pen ink cloth silk, began than calligraphy! King Qin said.

Everyone applauded, and no one questioned it! Li You has nothing to say, no matter how serious he is, he will be ashamed. I had no choice but to bow my hand to Montenegro and say: "Li You knows today that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky." Please forgive Li You's arrogance! ”

Montenegro hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Thank you Li Gongzi for agreeing!" ”

Zhao Gao commanded the attendants to bring a few bookcases, put them in the middle, and put pen and ink, parchment, cloth, etc.

King Qin took the lead in coming to the case, picked up his pen, and wrote two poems. The penmanship is domineering, and after closing the pen, he said: "The widow writes for his own entertainment, and does not participate in the competition, so he saves someone from patting on the back." Please ask Meng Fuzi to take the lead, Wang Juan and Li Si will also come up and write a picture together, so that these juniors will know that Jiang is still old and spicy. ”

All three of them are masters of contemporary calligraphy, and after they came to the stage, they each waved their pen and closed their pens almost at the same time. The four horses of Xianyang in the back also took the stage and waved their own waves. Other civil servants and talents also showed no weakness, and everyone wanted to win a good fortune. Only Montenegro sat motionless.

King Qin knew that Montenegro's calligraphy was the worst, and said in a mocking tone: "Montenegro, why don't you write one?" ”

"Your Majesty, I admit this penultimate place, even if the minister doesn't eat or drink, he won't be able to win the penultimate place if he practices for 30 years." Montenegro replied.

"Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is knowing. He is worthy of being a Confucian disciple! King Qin said with a smile.

The calligraphy is evaluated, Meng Zhao's words are like a pen walking dragon and snake, Li Si's vigor and strength, and Wang Juan's juan and decency. The three are the best, and it's really hard to tell the difference.

Meng Zhao proposed: "Calligraphy is a skill, and the three of us are decades old, so how can we talk about the strength and weakness of young people." It is recommended that the three of us not participate in the competition, and give young people some opportunities! ”

Wang Juan and Li Si agreed. As a result, Wang Wen was even better and won the best calligraphy. Everyone congratulated him.

The following is to compose music and play the zite for two poems! Li Si's family has been greedy since he was a child, and he has never learned this and burning money, so he quit on his own. Meng Zhao said: "I don't participate in the trial, these two poems are written by my student Montenegro, I personally composed and played the music, you listen carefully, wait for whoever plays the best will get the best, can you?" ”

Although the young people had never heard Meng Fu play the kite, no one dared to hold it up in front of him, and when they saw that Meng Fuzi was a big rival, they also agreed!

After a while, Zhao Gao took a few maids to carry a thunderbolt old sycamore wood made of the zither, the body of the zither is black and shiny, the traces of charcoal burning at both ends are clearly identifiable, the strings are made of the sideburns of the famous horses of the plateau, and at a glance you know that it is a masterpiece that is hard to find. Meng Zhao sat in front of the guzheng, and the two sounds of the Qing test were already echoing in the ears, which was pleasing to the heart! Everyone fell silent, and even the court musicians next to them came over to listen!

Meng Zhao's ten fingers are like flying, and he is playing and singing like a drunk! Everyone was immersed in the beautiful music.

Guzheng was called Qin Zheng in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, why? Because although the sound of this musical instrument, which was popular in the Qin State Pass, is very beautiful, the instrument is very complex, difficult to make, expensive to build and difficult to learn, and it is difficult to master if you do not practice it from an early age. Therefore, the six congresses of Shandong will play a small scale. It wasn't until later that it was improved by General Meng Tian, who had loved Qin Zheng since childhood, that it was easier to make and much easier to play! After the Qin State dominated the world, it became popular throughout the country. In the Han Dynasty, the guzheng was already one of the must-learn for the children of the aristocracy, and it was passed down to modern times, except for the change of strings, it was almost the same.

As soon as Meng Zhao played, a musician wrote a score at the same time. Everyone has woken up after a long time! Only then did they realize that with Meng Fuzi's musical cultivation, whether they composed music or performed, they could hardly match it.

"Listening to the husband playing the zither is like hearing the sound of heaven! It makes people feel good and happy! The game continues! King Qin said.

After listening to Meng Zhao's performance, the older generation was embarrassed to make a move. Only the young scholars came up to play, and although most of the scores copied by the musicians were still scattered in one or two places. Only a few people such as Feng Tang and Li You played quite skillfully, and they were praised by Meng Fuzi with a slight nod.

After more than a dozen people finished playing, no one came on stage. Wang Juan said: "No one came to power? It seems that this one belongs to Feng Tang the most! ”

"Let me try!" At this time, a fair girl floated out from behind the musician, her skin was as white as snow, Meinuo Tianxian, wearing a long skirt, dragging on the ground. It's none other than the legendary Four Princesses. The fourth princess hid behind the chime at the beginning, mainly to take a peek at the Black Mountain. Seeing the poetry of Montenegro, I was so happy that I wanted to jump. Seeing that his father asked everyone to play Qin Zheng, and the song was still written by his beloved, he couldn't help but walk out for a while.

The beauty of the four princesses stunned the surrounding scholars! I saw her walk up to Master Meng, make a blessing, and say softly: "Xue'er has saluted the teacher!" ”

Meng Zhao was stunned for a moment, and for a moment knew why Xue'er called her teacher! Wei Yu next to him said: "This is the fourth princess, she has already made a family relationship with your student Montenegro, and she will get married on the third day of the third month of March, and it is also appropriate to call you a teacher!" ”

Meng Zhao hurriedly stood up when he heard this, returned the salute, and said, "The fourth princess is very polite!" When you meet for the first time, the teacher will go back and give you a welcome gift! The crowd also stood up and saluted the four princesses.

The fourth princess floated to the side of the zither and sat down. The two maids, Chun and Qiu, hurriedly helped her straighten her long skirt. Montenegro also recognized Chun and Qiu as the women who had come to sleep with him all night on the orders of King Qin.

The fourth princess has loved Qin Zheng since she was a child, and she is very talented under the guidance of a famous teacher, and her skills have long been perfected! The two pieces are also played like flowing water, and the piano sounds are winding and euphemistic.

"Color!" Meng Zhao cheered first and praised: "The fourth princess is young, and she can have such attainments, but she can't achieve it without extremely high talent and hard work!" With this good match, the great blessing of the Black Mountain disciples! ”

Everyone applauded! Feng Tang attached his horse to salute the four princesses and said: "The talents of the four princesses, Feng Tang is convinced, the most happy, the four princesses deserve it!" ”

The fourth princess replied: "Brother-in-law has an overreputation, Xue'er is itchy for a while, but I beg everyone to point one or two, and I dare not discuss the short and long with all the talents!" ”

After speaking, the fourth princess came to Meng Fuzi's side, saluted, sold a cute and said, "Teacher, Xue'er will want you to give more guidance in the future!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed! King Qin's heart was sour. announced: "This is the best, Feng Tang!" ”

Everyone was congratulating.

One last archery! At the time of Confucius, it generally referred to martial arts. Because practice requires long-term persistence, practicing Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer, many Confucian scholars can't stand such suffering, and in the early Warring States period, it has evolved into a pot throwing. It is to put a bronze pot ten steps away and throw it with a two-foot short arrow, which has become an indispensable activity for many literati and scholars to drink together. Zhao Gao asked everyone to bring a bronze pot and put it in the middle, bounded by red silk ten steps away. This activity is played by all literati, everyone actively participates, and it is so lively, and it doesn't take long for several to be in full middle school.
