Chapter 120: Solving the Imperial Examination (8)

The imperial examination poems are generally found from the anthology or the poems of the predecessors, so that the candidates can understand the meaning of the poem, and then give a poem, most of the anonymous poems that have been handed down in history are poems in the imperial examination, which is mainly due to the implementation of the imperial examination system, and many poems are circulated without a name. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The topic of today's solution is 'On the window bamboo shadow shakes the bookcase, the sound of wild springs enters the inkstone pond.' ’

After the candidates understood its poetic meaning, they made a new poem, Li Yanqing thought of at least seven or eight poems for study, he pondered for a long time, and finally decided to choose one of the three poems as today's answer.

One is Lu You's "Reading on a Winter Night", which contains the famous sentence: The paper is shallow, and you never know that you have to bow to it.

The other is Zhu Xi's "Reading with Feelings", and the other is Zhao Yi's "On Poetry" in the Qing Dynasty, which famously reads: There are talented people in the country, and they have led the way for hundreds of years.

Of course, Li Yanqing still remembers a few poems that are a little more ordinary, but because he was a little ill-considered in his countermeasures yesterday, if he doesn't make up for it in the poems, it is very likely that he will fail in this imperial examination, and Li Yanqing can only surprise today.

He pondered these three poems repeatedly, he first eliminated Zhao Yi's "On Poetry", first, it is not very relevant, and poetry is not a study, and secondly, the Song Dynasty highly respected Du poems, and the first two sentences of this poem: "Li Du's poems have been passed down through the ages, and they are no longer fresh." It will be disgusting to the examiner.

The rest is Lu You's "Reading on a Winter Night" and Zhu Xi's "Reading with Feelings", both of which are very good, according to the scholars' investigation, the chief examiner Ouyang Xun pays more attention to practice, so 'the paper is finally shallow, and I never know that I have to bow to it.' It would be more in line with his character.

But from a poetic point of view, Zhu Xi's "Reading with Feelings" is more in line with the artistic conception of the topic, and Li Yanqing is difficult to make decisions for a while.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Yanqing decided to take the exam question as the standard, not to cater to the preferences of the examiner, and he finally chose "Reading with Feelings", and Li Yanqing wrote this poem on the exam paper.

"Reading Feelings"

Half an acre of square pond is opened,

The sky and clouds and shadows hovered together.

Ask where the canal is as clear as promised,

For there is a source of living water.

...........

Just like an unusually painful baptism, the imperial examination that lasted seven days and five nights finally ended, except for the scholars who left in advance, the other scholars who did well or did not do well in the examination had to indulge themselves happily, the major taverns in Anyang County were all full, and the scholars were staggered and drunk.

Today is Li Yanqing's treat, in addition to inviting the fat man Zheng Rongtai, he also invited Zhang Xian and Zhou Chun and several other Linzhang scholars, and the group chartered a large room in Zhengfu Building, and everyone drank happily.

Zhang Xian is in a good mood today, he has decided to go to the state to study, and untied this knot, even if his criminal law problem is not made today, he does not care about it.

Zhou Chun drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Everyone is guessing that the person who wrote the question of the criminal law must be Professor Taixue, and the Tang and Song Dynasty criminal law comparison questions have been studied by too many students, it is very simple for them, everyone is very suspicious, the person who wrote the question just wants to leave this admission opportunity of Enke to the Tai students?" ”

"Really?"

Li Yanqing asked Zheng Rongtai with a smile, "Have you ever taught that question?" ”

Zheng Rongtai blinked his little eyes and said, "I may have asked for leave on the day I took the criminal law class, but I didn't hear this class, and I didn't know that Taixue had taught?" However, I also happened to review that question, and I answered it smoothly. ”

Zhou Chun glanced at Li Yanqing suspiciously, did Li Yanqing lend his grandfather's notes to this dead fat man? He repeatedly told Li Yanqing that the notes must not be passed on.

Li Yanqing knew this, so he smiled and said: "For this imperial examination, Brother Zheng's family has invited many famous teachers, and with these famous teachers' professional questions, Brother Zheng will definitely be able to pass the exam this time." ”

These words are very neutral, different people have different understandings, for Zheng Rongtai, if he can pass the exam, he will have a glamorous excuse, 'My family has invited a famous teacher to bet on the question, why can't he pass the exam?' ’

But for a person like Zhou Chun, he will immediately understand that Li Yanqing has something else to say, as for Zhang Xian is relatively simple, he will envy the Zheng family's generosity, and actually ask a famous teacher to tutor the question.

Zheng Rongtai is more stupid in other aspects, but he is very slippery in this matter, he immediately climbed up the pole, laughed and said: "I'm not afraid of your envy, this time the famous teacher invited by my family did bet on several key questions, luck!" ”

Everyone laughed a few words, and at this time, the door of the elegant room was suddenly pushed open, and a few people walked in from the outside, Huo Ran was the Tai student Zhao Yushu and his companions.

"What a coincidence! We've met again. ”

Zhao Yushu had a plaster on his nose and stared at Li Yanqing with hatred in his eyes, and he was broken by Li Yanqing's punch on the bridge of his nose, which caused him to perform poorly in this imperial examination, and he was afraid that it would be hopeless to capture Xie Yuan.

Zhao Yushu is one of the three Taixue students in Xiangzhou, and it no longer makes sense for him to be admitted to the general lift, but Xie Yuan in the exam is of great benefit to him.

If he can pass the examination to solve the yuan, he can be directly promoted to the middle upper student, and he will be exempted from the official examination, which is equivalent to being a fellow jinshi, and becoming an official is just around the corner.

In this imperial examination, he was the biggest favorite to solve the yuan, ranking first on the list, but Li Yanqing's punch completely wiped out his hope and future.

Zhao Yushu's resentment fell on Li Yanqing, and the hatred was unbearable, and as soon as he finished the exam, he found Li Yanqing.

Li Yanqing saw him come in murderously, and ignored him, just drinking slowly, but Zheng Rongtai was annoyed and stood up, "Zhao Yushu, do you want to spread wild in my territory?" ”

Zheng Rongtai and Zhao Yushu are studying in Taixue together, and they are fellow villagers in Anyang County, so the relationship should be very close, but Zhao Yushu looks down on this fat man who does not learn and has no skills, the two have never had a friendship, Zhao Yushu glanced at Zheng Rongtai, and said coldly: "I want to find this Li Yanqing today, it has nothing to do with you, please don't interfere!" ”

Li Yanqing said lightly: "What are you looking for me to do?" Do you want to fight again, or do you want me to pay you for your medical expenses? ”

Zhao Yushu was so hateful that fire erupted in his eyes, "You broke my nose, I want you to give me an explanation!" ”

Zheng Rongtai looked at Li Yanqing and then at Zhao Yushu, he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't know how to intervene for a while?

Li Yanqing smiled, "Then what do you want to explain?" ”

Zhao Yushu couldn't say a word, he only hated Li Yanqing for beating him, but he never thought about why he was beaten?

But at this time, anger has made him lose his mind, hatred hovers in his heart, what can he do, he can't fight in a fight, and it is not uncommon for him to pay for medical expenses, let Li Yanqing apologize, can he save his future?

Zhao Yushu stared at Li Yanqing and said word by word: "I just let you remember that this revenge against me Zhao Yushu will be avenged sooner or later, and I will let you repay it a hundred times!" ”

After speaking, Zhao Yushu turned around and left angrily, and several companions glanced at Li Yanqing and left quickly.

"your mother!"

Zheng Rongtai scolded Zhao Yushu's back fiercely, and asked again: "What happened?" ”

Hong Dazhi told Zheng Rongtai what happened that day, and Zheng Rongtai was suddenly surprised and delighted, "Lao Li can also do martial arts?" ”

Zhang Xian next to him joked: "Lao Li Wencai is outstanding and strong in martial arts, he didn't take the martial arts exam, otherwise he would have ...... champion."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yanqing was angry and funny, and knocked him on the head with chopsticks, "Just blow it!" Blow the sky out, see what you do? ”

Zhang Xian covered his head and muttered, "Was it meant to be?" ”

Zheng Rongtai is obviously more interested in martial arts than literature, he doesn't follow him alive or dead, he must show him Li Yanqinglu, Li Yanqing has no choice but to laugh and say: "Then I'll make a trick!" ”

He saw that the wall was soft, so he took a wine glass, flipped it, looked around, and saw a moth fluttering in the corner of the house, Li Yanqing pointed to the moth and smiled: "Look at me catch that moth!" ”

Zheng Rongtai's eyes widened, wanting to see how Li Yanqing caught the moth, Li Yanqing shook his hand, and the wine glass flew out violently, "Smack! It was nailed to the wall, but it was not broken, Zheng Rongtai opened his mouth wide, stepped forward and pulled the wine glass out of the wall, only to see the moth flying out of the wine glass, Zheng Rongtai was stunned, what kind of martial art is this, he has never heard of it.

Everyone applauded and applauded, Li Yanqing smiled and said: "Carving insect skills, give everyone a good time, come, let's continue to drink!" ”

At this time, Zhou Chun whispered to Li Yanqing: "This Zhao Yushu's father is an official in the capital, and it is said that the official position is not small, you have to be careful, Zhao Yushu is a well-known person who holds grudges." ”

Li Yanqing smiled, as long as there are rivers and lakes, there will be struggles, isn't it normal to offend a few people?

.........

Sure enough, he responded to that sentence, he didn't get drunk and didn't return, late at night, Zheng Fatzi was drunk like mud, Zhou Chun and several Linzhang scholars were too strong to drink, and they took a step early, Zhang Xian was also drunk and collapsed under the table, but Li Yanqing drank a lot of wine, and he didn't get drunk at all, which made him a little strange, he also drank a few more glasses in the early spring club, why did he drink not get drunk now?

He vaguely felt that it was because of his long-term running, not only did the cold and heat not invade, but also the ability to withstand alcohol was far better than before, Li Yanqing settled the account and asked the shopkeeper to take care of Zheng Fatzi, he called an ox cart and helped Zhang Xian back to the inn.

The ox cart stopped at the door of the inn, and the shopkeeper Wang greeted him, hugged Zhang Xian and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang is the fourteenth person I helped today, it seems that everyone is relaxed." ”

"Zhou Langjun, are they back?" Li Yanqing asked with a smile.

"After they came back, they went out to play again, Brother Zhang, someone has been waiting for you for a long time."

Li Yanqing wondered, who would be waiting for him, he walked into the inn, and suddenly shouted: "Daddy! ”

A person stood up with a smile in front of the table in the lobby, it was Li Yanqing's father, Li Daqi.
