Chapter 139: Let me wait for an eye-opener
Emperor Wu got up and walked slowly towards Huo Guang, wanting to see what article he had written.
Others also wanted to see it, but no one dared to walk to Huo Guang before the emperor, and the ministers who were relatively close to him poked their heads out, hoping to get a sneak peek.
Liu Sheng followed cautiously behind Emperor Wu, in fact, his heart had already flown to Huo Guang's desk, and he only hated why he didn't take a look at Huo Guang's test paper just now.
Emperor Wu's speed was not slow, but the others in the hall still felt that he was walking slowly, and their eyes were eager to skip him and look directly at the paper silk.
Originally, Huo Guang wanted to present the test paper to Emperor Wu, but he didn't expect Emperor Wu to come down to read his article in person, Emperor Wu had already gotten up, so he couldn't move his position anymore, so he could only respectfully wait for the emperor to come over.
Emperor Wu walked up to Huo Guang, pursed his lips lightly, hooked up a gratifying arc, and picked up the paper silk on the table.
His gaze moved on Huo Guang's crooked and twisted handwriting, and the speed of movement was very slow, for fear that any detail would be missed.
At this interval, the ministers of civil and military affairs could no longer hold back their curiosity, and slowly approached in the direction of Huo Guang in a soft voice, but they didn't dare to get too close, they just stood behind Emperor Wu and kept a distance.
Originally, Huo Guang's words were particularly difficult to recognize, and at a distance, he could only see insects crawling, and he couldn't understand what it was, and only people standing in front could see it.
Zhang Xiangkun is of course the most anxious, in addition to the fact that he was originally a participant in this competition, there is another important reason, he is also a literati, and he is a literati with great attainments and depth in literature.
When he saw it for the first time, he couldn't help but read it, "The green water is next to the forest, and the sunset looks back at the mountains." The lonely moon in the ancient temple of the forest, the cold well and the cold spring are reflected in the platform. The gulls fly all over the fishing boats, and the cranes come with the cyclamen in the leisure pavilion. The trail walks on the fireworks and smoke, and the stream is far away. ”
Just finished reading the last word, Zhang Xiangkun's eyes were subconsciously stunned, and his gaze was fixed on the paper silk again, Zhang Xiangkun gasped, looked surprised, his lips opened slightly, and sighed in a low voice, "This ......"
Li Qing rushed over first, squeezed next to Zhang Xiangkun, and carefully read Huo Guang's poem, thinking that he didn't read it carefully, so he read it again, but he still didn't see anything extraordinary, and he could let Huan Wuping voluntarily withdraw from the competition.
Li Qinggang stood still, and Xu Zhang behind him also stepped forward, also looking at the direction of the paper silk.
Li Qing said in a low voice, "Lord Xu, can you see what's so great about this poem?" He was able to be applauded by the conceited envoys of the Japanese state. ”
Xu Zhang didn't say anything, not because he didn't want to share it with Li Qing, but he didn't see the mystery in this poem, the last one was a Tibetan poem, this time Xu Zhang read it according to the method of Tibetan poetry, but it wasn't. After thinking about it, I can't figure out what's so big about it.
But he didn't want to admit defeat in front of Li Qing, so he pretended to be mysterious and didn't say anything, but he didn't know it in his heart.
Li Qing touched a nail that was not too big or small, pursed his lips, rolled his eyes and ignored Xu Zhang, and read the poem again by himself.
Fujiwara also endured it for a long time before he followed the people of the division group to surround behind Emperor Wu. He wanted to know more than anyone what kind of article could make the second prince, whom he had always admired, willing to withdraw from the game and automatically admit defeat.
Huo Guang's words were too bad, he didn't understand them too much after reading them many times, and he stood far away, so he quietly squeezed forward and just stood behind Zhang Xiangkun.
“...... The trail walks on the fireworks and smoke, and the stream is far away. Fujiwara silently read it several times in his heart, but he didn't understand why this poem was so special, and he couldn't understand it.
Huan Wuping still looked in that direction, but did not step forward, standing at the end of the crowd.
He originally thought that he would win today's competition, but in his heart, Huo Guang was just showing off his cleverness, until just now, when he saw the poem.
The kind of writing style that he had only seen in books, but which he had never tried and could not control. At that moment, he knew that he had lost, and instead of letting the Han Emperor announce that he had lost, it was better to take the initiative to admit defeat and withdraw from the game.
Huan Wuping's gaze was a little lonely, his naturally drooping arm froze slightly, and his palms clenched unconsciously.
......
Fujiwara has read Huo Guang's poems five times, and he hasn't read anything commendable yet, if you want to say okay, it's not bad, but he also read the second prince's text, it's definitely not worse than Huo Guang's, although he is a rough man, but the comparison between a particularly good and a particularly bad one can still be distinguished.
The second prince is willing to admit defeat, he must feel that he is not a little different from Huo Guang, but what this gap is, Fujiwara really can't think of it, and he can't see it.
Whether it is the desire for knowledge or curiosity in the bottom of his heart, swimming in every cell of him, Fujiwara sighed softly, and said to Zhang Xiangkun who was standing in front of him in a low voice.
"Master Zhang, can you tell me what's so great about this poem?"
Fujiwara's voice was a little loud, and Li Qing next to him also heard his question, so he quickly pricked up his ears to listen.
Not only Li Qing, but also Xu Zhang, who was standing not far away and didn't know how to pretend to understand, couldn't wait to stretch his ears to hear Zhang Xiangkun's explanation.
They all want to know the mystery of the poem, so they can pretend to understand it and show it off in front of others.
Zhang Xiangkun glanced at Fujiwara and nodded politely, "Huo Guang's poem is a palindrome poem. ”
"Palindrome?" Fujiwara repeated it, but he didn't understand, and still looked at Zhang Xiangkun blankly.
Zhang Xiangkun didn't explain much, but read the poem in another way, "Open the tent and go to the stream far away, and walk on the fireworks trail." Visitors to the fairy pavilion are accompanied by cranes, and boating and fishing pools are full of flying gulls. Taiying Biquan cold well cold, Yueming lonely temple ancient forest secluded. Looking back at the four mountains and watching the sunset, the forests and rivers are green. ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the hall opened their mouths in surprise, and a poem could still be written like this, and it was another poem to read from back to front, and the rhyme and meaning were not lost at all.
"Seconds, that's wonderful." There were exclamations of admiration from the Japanese legations.
"The old man has read poetry books for decades, and he has only known this style of poetry, but he has never seen anyone use it."
"Huo Gongzi really opened my eyes."
The admiration came one after another, and it was completely the rhythm of passers-by turning into fans.
None of them were stingy with their own volume, and they could hear every praise Huo Guang, but they were actually a little embarrassed in their hearts, after all, Emperor Wu was standing in front of him.
Emperor Wu handed the paper silk to Liu Sheng beside him, just he picked up the poem, read it again, and found the mystery in it, his heart has been admired countless times, and he heard the praise from the Japanese delegation behind him, so he didn't say anything, in fact, Emperor Wu himself was the first time to see such a writing technique, and he only read the book slightly mentioned it before.
He hooked the corners of his mouth slightly towards Huo Guang, and smiled lightly, a thousand words were not as good as the smile of Emperor Wu's approval.
