Chapter 453: The Battle of the Chiefs (Part II)
The people here are the top readers in the world today, and most of them know the deeds of the Tao and the way, who can't hear the metaphor in this quatrain?
First of all, Fang Yingwu is compared to plum blossoms, which is normal, and the literati who compare themselves with plum blossoms have been like the sand of the Ganges River throughout the ages, which is nothing unusual.
Secondly, the two words after the snow at the beginning probably refer to the "heavy setback" encountered by Fang Yingwu's palace test. A champion who coerced the momentum of the Yuan was the most popular and encountered a shady scene, and he didn't even enter the Sanding Armor, the blow can be imagined, and the other party should have sympathy (even the doubts of the test have been covered up).
Third, when I heard the sentence "The sky stays in the spring in the Fang family", I felt an unyielding arrogance rushing to my face. But everyone didn't feel that Fang Yingwu was arrogant, because of course Fang Yingwu was proud of capital, and the Fang family's father and son had two Kuiyuan, two Hanlin, and two edicts, at least in today's Shilin, which is unique.
And Fang Yingwu himself suffered a "heavy blow" and was demoted to the county, but he was not depressed, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, promoting the good and eliminating the disadvantages, in just a few months, there were faint signs of a little blue sky, and the power of faith of the people of Beijing gradually gathered, and it is not an exaggeration to say that "the sky leaves spring in the Fang family".
Fourth, "laugh at it peach and plum flying away, but there was a frost festival old clouds", you may not know who Lu Dao is talking about elsewhere, but it is easy to understand in this environment, and the allusion is Zhang Zhuangyuan who is standing in front of the poet, and he is almost directly named.
Taken together, everyone feels that although these four sentences are short, they are endlessly meaningful. In particular, the two sentences before and after seem to be unrelated, but they form a wonderful fusion in the aura, and there is a sharp contrast, which in turn makes the meaning of the contrast more timeless.
I'm afraid that after today. "The sky stays in the spring in the Fang family", a sentence that shows the grace of celebrities, I am afraid that it will become an iconic poem on Fang Yingwu's father and son. Hear this. It seems to be similar to hearing "There is only one stone in the world, and Cao Zijian has eight buckets." I have a fight, and the world is divided into a bucket".
However, after all, it was a gathering of more "wine and meat" nature, not a pure literati collection, and everyone quickly pulled out the artistic conception of tasting poetry, and their eyes refocused on Fang Yingwu and Zhang Tianrui.
In fact, this is not just a scramble for a seat, but a war, a war for the top spot in the group of Xinchou Kejinshi in the seventeenth year of Chenghua.
If it was placed in the past, this should not be a problem, in the period when the imperial examination ended and the officialdom was just beginning. The champion is the leader of course. Then, as the years passed, they were fine-tuned according to their official position and fame.
It's just that in this session, there is such a figure as Fang Yingwu, who almost comprehensively overwhelms Zhang Tianrui, the champion of public opinion with a poor reputation
Zhang Tianrui couldn't hold back first, and aggressively asked Fang Yingwu to give way, and even moved out the name of Teacher Fang Yingwu, but it seemed a bit strong; And Fang Yingwu did not show weakness, and directly recited a subtle quatrain in response, implying that Zhang Tianrui was not worthy of sitting in the chief.
If you just kick the ball back and forth at the beginning, each expression is very subtle. So now it's a bit of a tear on your face, and it's time to roll up your sleeves and go into battle.
said that Fang Yingwu chanted a sneering poem, which made Zhang Tianrui feel extremely humiliated, and a burst of anger rushed to his brain.
But he knew that the lyrics were certainly no match for Fang Yingwu. He forcibly suppressed his anger and talked eloquently, and said: "The title of the Golden Palace is hand-picked by the Son of Heaven. It is a pity that Brother Fang failed to take the lead, but he still thinks about it. At the same year's banquet, he will inevitably be regarded as narrow-minded and chicken-bellied. ”
Fang Yingwu secretly sneered. Does he really care so much about a champion name that he still can't let go? Of course not, it's just a reason to build your own image.
He retorted: "The sage cloud examines my body three times a day, but when a person makes a mistake and does not introspect and admit his mistakes, he reproaches the victim and cannot be magnanimous and ask the monarch to comment, what is the reason? ”
Before Zhang Tianrui could speak, Xiang Chengxian suddenly spoke first, and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "Brother Zhang Nian is the leader of today's department, and his words and deeds should be an example for the same year of three hundred years!"
In fact, Brother Fang's heart is not to worry about Brother Zhang Nian, but to see the friendship in the same year, and to remind Brother Zhang Nian to self-cultivation, self-examination, reform and goodness, and tell me to wait for three hundred years and have light on the face! As the so-called good medicine is bitter, the mouth is good for the disease, and the words are good for the ears! ”
Everyone present was thoughtful when they heard what they said, and what Xiang Chengxian said was worth pondering, saying that Fang Yingwu wanted to help Zhang Tianrui correct his mistakes, it was all nonsense, and it was worth pondering on the other hand.
If the symbol of their three hundred jinshi is Zhang Tianrui, then what brilliance does their face have? It is rumored that this person was not in the top ten, but relying on the support of the second assistant Liu Jue, he blatantly squeezed out Fang Yingwu in front of the emperor, and only then did he get the champion.
There are a lot of insider things in the imperial examination, and if there is no Fang Yingwu here, how Zhang Tianrui got the champion will be vague, and some rumors will naturally disappear as time passes. But with Fang Yingwu constantly revealing scars, the situation is different
On the contrary, if the symbolic figure among their three hundred people is Fang Yingwu, who has made great achievements and has a resounding reputation, then his face will be much better-looking, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is extremely glorious, and Zhang Tianrui is far from being able to compare.
Xiang Chengxian's words were not over, and everyone listened to him continue: "The saint is a cloud, and he repays his grievances with virtue, how can he repay virtue?" If Brother Fang saw Brother Zhang Nian make a big mistake but deliberately connived, one day Brother Zhang Nian suddenly woke up and understood his mistake, then Brother Fang, as the same year, did not fulfill his duty of persuasion, how should he deal with himself? ”
Fang Yingwu was stunned for a moment, when did Xiang Chengxian also learn to be tall and reasonable? Is there really a close Zhu Zhechi?
After that, Xiang Dagongzi gave Fang Yingwu a look, brother, my words are like gold, and I don't need to return the thirty taels of silver to you!
Fang Yingwu immediately came to his senses, he knew that this was not his time to be in a daze, so he lowered his head very cooperatively, and let out a long sigh, as if everything was in a word.
It is inconvenient for him to say those words, but this eldest prince is worthy of being a good brother, and at the critical time, he has a very tacit understanding, and the help is just right, and the debt of thirty taels of silver can be reduced by half!
Bastard! Zhang Tianrui was furious, and scolded Xiang Chengxian in his heart, Fang Yingwu's poems are not so hateful! Fang Yingwu's poems are still limited to metaphorical irony, but Xiang Chengxian's words clearly refer to the deer as a horse and reverse black and white!
If he Zhang Tianrui didn't rely on the second assistant to get the champion, wouldn't Fang Yingwu also rely on the prime minister's father-in-law to take the champion into his arms? Could it be that just because he succeeded, Fang Yingwu didn't succeed, he became a stain, and Fang Yingwu became a tragic gentleman?
Annoyed is annoyed, but Zhang Zhuangyuan can't say two people with one mouth, especially some things that are inconvenient to say by himself. He had no choice but to look around, but saw that everyone's eyes were dodging, and no one was willing to come out to help.
In this situation, Zhang Tianrui felt unprecedented loneliness. Everyone around him was obviously on his list, but they all seemed to have become strangers; Everyone was obviously sitting within reach, but it seemed that they were close to the end of the world, and they couldn't reach it.
After the longest moment in his life, Zhang Zhuangyuan really had no shame to stay here, waved his sleeves fiercely, his face was sad, and he turned around and left with a dead heart.
Fang Yingwu sat steadily on the chief, watching Zhang Tianrui's back disappear at the staircase, and faintly had a new understanding of life in his heart.
At the beginning, he was already enthusiastic, although he has been emphasizing that he should be calm and rational, but he is still almost carried away by the champion at his fingertips, after all, it is the glory of the world, how many readers and pseudo-readers can refuse this glory?
And Liu Mian resolutely stopped after making a big noise, and let himself be ruthlessly suppressed to the eleventh place, and now it seems that it is indeed an old and spicy move with insight into human feelings.
This repetition has transformed himself from a suspected cheating party relying on his father-in-law to an innocent gentleman who has been wronged in the eyes of the world.
If I had to fight for the title of champion at that time, then I am afraid that I am the only one standing here and being pointed at by others. You must know that the champion is too dazzling, if there is no hard work, it is simply unbearable people who cannot be too greedy, there is always a weight that cannot be beared! (To be continued......)
PS: Damn, it was supposed to be the third update last night, but this chapter was too brain-consuming, and I fell asleep again! The sub-healthy body can't stand up like this! If I can write three chapters today, then the debt will be paid off, so please encourage me!
