The conceited poets among the new scholars were overjoyed when they heard the proposal of the two old scholars, and they were busy asking the two scholars to come up with the question.

Li Qian pushed and pushed the matter to Xu Chengjing.

Xu Chengjing said with a smile: "People can promote the Tao, non-Taoist people, husband and sage, their virtue is enough to transform the righteousness, their talent is enough to enlighten the discipline, their clarity is enough to think about the candle, their strength is enough to be benevolent and solid, the big is good for the world, and the small is good for their family." ”

"The court takes the virtuous, and the saint is not a saint, and the gentleman is with him, and the old man takes the 'gentleman's bamboo' as the theme."

Li Qian praised: "Xu Shangshu is very good in this topic, the straight section does not bloom, avoid bees and butterflies, the bamboo is noble and has a bowed head leaf, Mei Ao never has a back flower, the old man would like to send it to you, I hope you will be an official in the future, as a gentleman, and a gentleman is like a bamboo." ”

Everyone present hurriedly got up and bowed and thanked Li Qian and Xu Cheng: "Students thank you for your teachings. ”

After everyone sat down again, they all began to meditate hard, hoping that their poems could enter the eyes of the two Shangshu masters.

Zhao Xian has always been talented and quick-witted, and he gained something in a blink of an eye, so he stood up, bowed and saluted, and said: "Be cautious, get a little, and be willing to be clumsy, throwing bricks and attracting jade!" ”

Xu Chengjing looked at Zhao Xian and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being the current science and technology huiyuan, just rush this sensitive talent, you should be the leader!" ”

Zhao Xian was praised by Xu Chengjing, he was overjoyed, and said modestly: "Student Xie is worthy of love." ”

Many people saw that Zhao Xian had not yet written poetry, and he received such high praise, and they secretly regretted it in their hearts and lost the opportunity.

At this time, looking at Zhao Xian's eyes, there was a bit of jealousy.

After Zhao Xian gathered his joy, he sang loudly: "The world does not understand love when they see bamboo, and the branches and leaves are sparse. With an open mind, he is unsuspicious, and he is still clear and congratulatory! ”

Xu Chengjing smiled even more on his face, and praised: "Yes, yes, quick thinking, more outstanding poetry, gentlemanly style, jumping out, now Ke Dingjia, you deserve it!" ”

Zhao Xian was first overjoyed when he heard this, and then his face darkened, and he was instantly aroused by Xu Chengjing, and he regretted not being able to connect the three yuan.

Busy reining in his emotions and replied: "Students have always admired the demeanor of adults, and they are grateful to be so praised by adults!" ”

Lu Jing and Nie Zhuang glanced at each other with a tacit understanding, and they both had a bad premonition in their hearts, Xu Chengjing held Zhao Xian so high, which was equivalent to roasting the two of them on the fire.

Nie Zhuang didn't wait for others to speak, hurriedly stood up, and threw out his poems: "Cultivation and cultivation are out of class, and the straight section has grown to this day." The leaves are rooted in solidity, and they still hold their own chastity. ”

After Xu Chengjing heard this, he did not speak directly, but looked at Li Qian.

After Li Qian secretly scolded Xu Chengjing in his heart, he opened his mouth and praised: "The idea is good, every word is written with the steadfastness of bamboo, but it does not live up to your father's teachings." ”

When Nie Zhuang heard Li Qian's praise, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said modestly: "The student thanks the boss for his false praise, it is a blessing that he did not embarrass his father, and he does not dare to expect anything else." ”

Xu Chengjing continued: "If Mi Chang knows your performance today, he will also comfort you, you and Zhao Xian's talents are bright for a while, and it is difficult to distinguish between them." ”

Lu Jing watched coldly, listening to Xu Chengjing's words, feeling that every sentence was aimed at him, and secretly guessed in his heart that he was probably implicated by Lin Ruhai.

The current Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War are all under the command of the emperor, especially Xu Chengjing was born in Zhejiang, and has inextricable links with the Jiangnan forces.

Zhao Xian and Nie Zhuang were highly praised by the two Shangshu adults, which instantly gave everyone greater motivation, and they threw out their poems one after another.

After Li Qian commented on Nie Zhuang's poems, he rarely spoke, but Xu Chengjing picked a lot of people and praised them, which made many people overjoyed.

Xu Chengjing has seen Lu Jing's poems, which can only be regarded as medium, and seeing that Lu Jing has not yet spoken, he smiled and said: "Does Zhuangyuanlang have a good work?" ”

Li Qian watched this scene with interest, not only to see if Lu Jing could bear the name of champion, but also to see how Lu Jing resolved Xu Chengjing's difficulties.

Ge Yin and Li Yi, who knew that Lu Jing was not good at poetry, were secretly anxious for Lu Jing.

The rest of the people and many officials of the Ministry of Rites who attended the banquet all focused their eyes on Lu Jing, some looking forward to Lu Jing's poetry masterpieces, and some looking forward to Lu Jing's big overturn.

Lu Jing looked at the kind and malicious eyes around him, and felt that if the poems could not subdue everyone, I am afraid that he would become the laughing stock of today's Qionglin banquet.

So he slowly stood up and said, "Thank you Lord Shangshu for asking, the student just got a few words, please a few adults!" ”

The bamboo forest on the Langcui Ridge is shaded by the cold sun.

The unearthed was determined to go to the sky, and he was still humble when he towered into Lingyun.

The skinny bones are written in frost, and the sparse branches Xiao Xiao chant to the moon.

Thousands of blows are still tenacious, and the high festival breeze is said to this day.

Li Qian stroked his hand and praised: "Good poetry, good poetry, it really lives up to the name of the champion!" 'Unearthed and set to go to the sky, towering into Lingyun is still humble. Although the two sentences are from Xu Tingyun's "Yongzhu": "When it is not unearthed, there is a festival first, and there is no intention to go to Lingyun." The two sentences are more elaborate than their intentions, and they should be adapted to the situation. ”

"Thousands of blows are still tenacious, write the tenacity of bamboo, and show the humble gentlemanly style of bamboo at the pen, this poem should be remembered for eternity."

After Li Qian finished speaking, he looked at Xu Chengjing with a smile on his face and asked, "What does Lord Xu think?" ”

The surprise on Xu Chengjing's face flashed, and then he smiled: "Sure enough, a good poet, as soon as this poem comes out, all the previous poems are colorless, tasteless, and the gap is like fluorescence in Haoyue, which cannot be measured, cannot be measured." ”

"Your talent is far better than the rest of the people, the champion, who is the best."

The rest of the jinshi were applauding when they heard Lu Jing's poems, and suddenly heard Xu Chengjing's words, and instantly had a feeling of 'one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither', and the eyes that looked at Lu Jing suddenly became complicated, and there were few sincere praises.

Although there are many shrewd people who heard the meaning of provocation from Xu Chengjing's words, they still look lonely and uneasy.

Even many people secretly hated Lu Jing for stealing the limelight from them, so they carefully prepared the poems that wanted to be favored by the two Shangshu adults, but they were overshadowed.

Especially those who were praised by Xu Chengjing, they were even more disappointed in their hearts, and felt that Lu Jing had harmed them and lost the opportunity to be promoted.

When Lu Jing heard Xu Chengjing's words, he secretly said that it was not good in his heart, and then he looked around and found that most people had alienation and vigilance in their eyes.

instantly understood that Xu Chengjing was pulling hatred for himself and wanted to kill himself, if it was not solved well, I am afraid that he would be in the same year, let alone any friends, many people would regard him as an enemy.

So he said aloud: "This poem is just borrowing the wisdom of the predecessors, and it should not be praised so by the two adults." ”

"If you talk about poetry talent, Chu has Qu Yuan, Jin has Tao Qian, Tang has Li Du, Song has Su Shi, all of them are poems, leaving a name for eternity, but I have not heard of its achievements in helping the world and the people."

"Poetry, the way of smelting feelings, although beneficial, but in the way of the world, far from the world, the court to take scholars, more rejuvenating the state to govern the world, the scholars, are thousands of selected pillars of the country, Qi Guanzhong, Qin Lisi, Han Xiaohe, Tang Fang Qiao, Song Kouzhun, are all famous through the ages, and there is no one who is good at poetry."

"Students secretly think that our generation is an auxiliary king, an Li Shu, a political officer, a good governance, a temple, worried about its people, far away from the rivers and lakes, worried about its monarch, history books are passed on, the people are passed on, and the famous ministers leave a green history, which is far better than leaving a name for poetry."

"The sage and the wise, all the lords in the court, also because of the talent of governing the world, and ascended to a high position, so the poetry is insignificant, empty talk misleads the country, and hard work prospers the country, all of you are our role models."

Li Qian clapped his hands and praised: "That's right, with the words 'empty talk misleads the country, hard work prospers the country', you should leave a name in history!" ”

Then he turned to the scholars and said: "Poetry Xiao Daoer, if you want to make achievements in your career, after all, it depends on your talents in the world, leaving a name in history, and all the gentlemen encourage you." ”

With Lu Jing's sonorous words, everyone on the field recovered their fighting spirit at this moment, and their gaze at Lu Jing also changed.

Some are eager to try and want to try another battlefield, some are convinced and willing, and they are under Lu Jing, and some people are even more jealous in their hearts and want to take Lu Jing's place at the moment.

After Xu Chengjing opened his mouth, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and at this moment, seeing the change in everyone's minds, he was secretly angry in his heart, and he never thought that this difficulty would be fulfilled by Lu Jing.

Lu Jing saw that Xu Chengjing wanted to speak, and without waiting for him to speak, he continued: "Li Du's poems have been passed down through the ages, and they are no longer fresh. There are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years. ”

"Today's sage is incomparable, you are all contemporary talents, now the field has been completed, the officialdom is reopened, under the same as you are the Yiwei Kejinshi, should rekindle the fighting spirit, no matter where you are, where you are, you must be loyal to the king, the people are sincere, do not lose the good time of Shaohua, and there is no hope in the country and at home."

"In the second year of Song Renzong's Jiayou, Ding Youke Jinshi, Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dan, Wang Shao, Lin Xi, Zhang Heng, Dou Bian, Cheng Hao, Zhang Zai, Su Shi, Su Zhe, Su Xun, Zeng Gong, Zeng Bu and others, all came out of the same department, including nine prime ministers and eight literary circles, all of whom have been famous for the ages, and their list is known as the famous list of the ages."

"I am willing to encourage you in the next place, and I dare not hope to be comparable to it, but also to add glory to this department."

Before Lu Jing's words fell, the applause of everyone present came and went.

Especially Ge Yin, Li Yi and other scholars from Jiangnan who are familiar with Lu Jing led the people around them to vigorously support Lu Jing.

Zhao Xian, Nie Zhuang and others were also moved, they didn't name a few prime ministers in this list, but they could produce a few famous ministers, and they were all honored.

Many people present suddenly felt energetic, screwed them together, and everyone shouted involuntarily as if they had found the goal of struggle: "Encourage with you!" ”

After Lu Jing hugged his fists to everyone with a sincere face, he sat down again, thinking to himself in his heart, now this crisis is temporarily passed by relying on these scenes, but it has also completely offended Xu Chengjing, if this person is not solved, he will not be in a good career after all.

Xu Chengjing saw the situation in front of him, and knew that it was useless to stay, so after a few perfunctory words, he left the banquet.

After Li Qian encouraged everyone to say a few words, he also left with a group of examiners, and at the Qionglin banquet, only the new science and technology scholars were left in an instant.
