Chapter 376: One after another
Chapter 376: One after another
Here, as soon as Sun Dan finished writing those three articles, he only ate something at random, and began to graffiti on the wall.
As soon as he started his pen, the examiner, who had already paid attention to him for a long time, quickly ran back to the lobby of the Gongyuan and told Zhao Jian and the others the good news.
So, just like the first one, more than a dozen examiners quickly came over to watch, looking forward to Sun Dan's more masterpieces.
What Sun Dan is now writing on the wall is Gong Zizhen's "Kyushu is angry and thunderous, and all the horses are sad." I advise the heavenly prince to be vigorous and reduce talents without sticking to one pattern. ”
For now, the imperial examination system is indeed the best means for the state to select talents, which is fair, open, and just, and has very high requirements for the comprehensive quality of candidates. However, up to now, the title of the Baguwen seems to have been exhausted, and almost every sentence of the Four Books and Five Classics has a corresponding model text. The further this situation goes, the more serious it becomes.
By the time of the Qing Dynasty, it had degenerated into a kind of passing scene, or a ritual, and had lost its original intention of selecting talents for the country.
In fact, such poems are not suspicious of questioning the imperial court's policy of selecting scholars. Moreover, what else are you talking about, isn't this a slap in the face of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor? If it was in the Qing Dynasty, if a text was directly imprisoned, Sun Dan would never be able to turn over.
But it's a pity that this is the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is open-minded, confident and strong.
The Ming Dynasty did not scold people with their words, even if the ministers pointed at the emperor's nose and scolded, the emperor did not dare to do anything to them, but laughed and rewarded them.
In the Ming Dynasty, scholars and emperors ruled the world together, and imperial power was greatly restricted. Even a generation of male lords such as Taizu and Chengzu cannot do things happily when there is something.
So, when Sun Dan finished writing this poem. The examiners who were watching from the outside of the examination room took a breath of cold air at the same time, but they admired Sun Dan to the fullest in their hearts.
Putting aside the literary value of Sun Dan's poem itself, Sun Dan's courage to speak alone is already a model for Shilin.
Then the examiner muttered in a low voice: "Good poetry, it just goes to my heart." Now, although His Majesty is wise and powerful, he is not immune to being deceived by villains. For example, in the case of the imperial examination, I think there are "traitor" ministers instigating behind the scenes. ”
"Yes, it must be Huang Jin, the lower officials have heard that this Huang Jin is constantly wandering among the ministers, trying his best to coerce and lure him to do things, and want to lobby the ministers to correct His Majesty's father."
"Did Huang Jin do it?" Zhao Jian was originally Lao Chengjun, and when he heard someone say this gossip, he was shocked and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, it's this gelding!" Sun Yingkui gritted his teeth: "Otherwise, who else could it be?" He used to be in charge of the East Factory, and he had some cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods on hand, and he took out a large amount of silver to go to the homes of various ministers during this day, so that everyone should not mention the imperial examination. If there is a disobedient person, it is even more threatening. In order to invite favor in front of His Majesty, this thief didn't even want his face. Fortunately, His Majesty handed over the Dongchang to Bi Yun, after all, Bi Yun had read for a few years, understood the truth, and was quite dignified. But Huang Jin, a thief, doesn't have these scruples, and he can do anything. ”
"And then?" Zhao Jian was so angry that his body trembled slightly.
"There are many ministers who have benefited from him, or they are afraid, and they do not speak." Sun Yingkui sighed, lowered his voice and said, "Ten thousand horses, Sun Jingyuan's poem can be regarded as speaking to my heart." ”
"Hey!" Everyone sighed, and their mood suddenly became depressed.
Sun Dan had just finished writing this poem, and his heart was refreshed, when he suddenly heard the discussion outside, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed---- these guys are so relatable, they can actually associate this poem with the Great Rites. Chasing after the wind and shadows is really the strength of readers, and this kind of thing is so far-fetched, but fortunately it is now the Ming Dynasty. Even if the matter is exposed, it can only add a good reputation to himself, but there is no harm.
Sure enough, the examiners outside sighed, nodded and whispered: "I can't see it, Sun Jingyuan is also a person who dares to speak." ”
"Sun Jingyuan's teacher is Li Meiting, who used to be a member of the country, and he was a person who dared to speak out. Sun Dan is also Yang Shen's friend, the so-called close to Zhu Zhechi, Xiao Yang's friend is naturally our fellow practitioners. ”
The more everyone talked, the more embarrassed Sun Dan was, and unconsciously, he was put into the same camp by them.
It can be seen that the matter of the Great Rites Debate has been brewed and matured, and all kinds of contradictions have begun to intensify, and the time has come when they have to be resolved.
Fortunately, Sun Dan began to write a poem again, which interrupted the examiners' discussions, otherwise if they continued to talk, it would only become more and more disagreeable.
"The grass grows and the warbler flies in the February sky, and the willows on the embankment are drunk with spring smoke."
As soon as this sentence was written on the wall, an examiner suddenly lost his mind and muttered: "Something is wrong, why is this sentence so familiar, is it written by a Tang person, it is quite a bit of a prosperous Tang Dynasty." ”
"No, a talented person like Sun Jing, how can he copy Tang poetry and write it on the wall, what's the point?"
Everyone feels familiar, and they all feel strange in their hearts, these two poems are very pure, and they are catchy to read, and they are by no means in the style of Ming poems.
But there were still people who were very cautious, so they asked Sun Yingkui: "Master Sun, you are good at poetry, and you are also very familiar with the poetry of the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties. ”
Sun Yingkui also felt that these two sentences were very good, and said: "It is indeed Sun Jingyuan's original work, and I have read all the poems of the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, so I am naturally very familiar with them." ”
At this time, everyone praised at the same time: "It is not easy for Sun Dan to be able to write the charm of the Tang Dynasty!" These two sentences are already good, but I don't know what about the second half? ”
As he was talking, someone whispered: "Quiet, Sun Dan is writing half a song." ”
In this way, everyone fell silent and looked intently.
The weather was fine today, the sun was shining, and it was clear that he could clearly see the words on the wall.
"Children return early from school,
Busy taking advantage of the east wind to release paper kites. ”
As soon as this half of the poem was finished, everyone shouted hello at the same time.
But everyone doesn't know that this poem is a poem by the famous Qing Dynasty poet Gao Ding.
"Good poems, it looks simple and plain, but it brings to life the scenery in the spring and March in the south of the Yangtze River."
"Lifting weights is like a light sentence, like Bai Letian's poems, such sentences can only be achieved by chance, at least I don't think anyone today can write such seven words."
"The grass grows and the warbler flies in the February sky...... Zhao Jian suddenly sighed: "It is the spring and Jingming season, but we are locked up in this tribute courtyard. The old man couldn't help but want to go out and see the new green in this early spring. ”
Everyone nodded at the same time, and there was another sigh.
Sun Yingkui's eyes are full of yearning, he is young, so he is naturally more active than the older examiners. After being locked up in the examination room for six days, I was already annoyed: "After the undergraduate entrance examination, let's go to the restaurant to drink some rice wine, and then go to Xishan together." The so-called spring clothes are completed, how can they also be "dang" and "swing" to see the grass and warbler flying, and take a look at the spring mist that blows the willows and the mountains are full of spring mist. ”
"Okay, just according to what Master Sun said."
"Count me in."
Everyone laughed quietly.
Sun Yingkui said: "Fortunately, with Sun Jingyuan's poems, and his Yangchun and willows, I am not lonely in the examination room." ”
Everyone nodded again.
Zhao Jian said: "Sun Jingyuan is really amazing, not to mention the previous three poems, plus today's two poems, it is enough to leave a name in the annals of history." Okay, what will we look like when we accumulate here, if others see it, it is not like it, it is estimated that there will be no new poems by Sun Dan today, so let's go back to duty.
Only then did the examiners realize the responsibility on their shoulders, and when they heard Lord Zhao say this, they also knew that it was not a way to gather here. arranged for the official surnamed Li and an examiner surnamed Xiang to keep an eye here, and returned to the lobby lightly.
Before everyone could sit down, Xiang ran in sweaty: "There is a new work again." ”
"So fast?" Sun Yingkui stood up suddenly: "Impossible, even if he is a poet immortal Li Bai, he can't write so fast." ”
Zhao Shangshu also said: "That's true, Sun Dan's poems are naturally excellent, the previous few poems have already exhausted his talent, how can there be new works so quickly." Even if there is, in the eyes of this official, it is just ordinary. ”
"Not really." The official surnamed Xiang did not talk nonsense, and immediately recited the hymn aloud: "The shepherd boy rides a ox, and the song vibrates Lin Yue." Intending to catch the cicada, he suddenly closed his mouth. ”
This poem by Sun Dan is the work of Yuan Mei of the Qing Dynasty.
Hearing this poem, everyone in the hall did not speak, and their expressions were incredulous.
How is it possible to write so fast, how can it be possible to write so much, and one song is more wonderful than the other.
Not only that, Sun Dan's poetry style is varied, sometimes gentle, sometimes simple, sometimes impassioned, as if there is no fixed way of writing.
This day is destined to be an extraordinary day, and the two officials surnamed Xiang ran between the lobby and Sun Dan's house, constantly bringing Sun Dan's new works over.
On this day, Sun Dan copied more than a dozen words of Nalan Rongruo, and then stopped.
The next day, Sun Dan came again. Then there were more than a dozen Qing poems, including Gong Zizhen, Qian Qianyi, and Wu Meicun.
On the third day, when Sun Dan had filled all three walls, he stopped.
Sun Dan's last poem was written by Zheng Banqiao, when Zhao Shangshu heard the sentence "Insist that the green mountains are not relaxed, and the roots are in the broken rocks." Thousands of blows are still strong, and the wind blows from east to west, north and south. He was so numb that he couldn't let out an exclamation.
He picked up a glass of wine that he had prepared, took a sharp sip, and threw it on the ground.
sat stupidly for an hour, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Sun Jing is talented, if you can't get into the Jinshi in this subject, the old man will gouge out his eyeballs." Zhao Jian: I am so lucky to be a famous teacher! ”
