Chapter 464: The Palace Exam

Qi Fei's examination poems were published, Chang'an City shook, and his name was praised in the streets and alleys. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The four poems, all of which are rhythmic, from persuasion, to love poems, to military service, and then to Yongzhi, seem to form a perfect cycle, as if writing the ambition of a talented, indignant, and indignant scholar.

For a time, in Chang'an City, those cynical scholars, arrogant children of wealthy families, and deep boudoirs all regarded Qi Fei as an idol, but some more traditional and conservative scholars began to boycott Qi Fei, thinking that the song of Nanyuan Yongzhi was to advocate swords and war, and it was a cluster of restless flames in a peaceful and prosperous era.

But anyone, even if they doubt Qi Fei's intentions, can't erase his poetic talent, the poems of a small scholar are shocking to the past and the present, even those saints and sons in history have never made such poems at his age.

However, even so, few people have seen the true face of this little scholar, as for a few soldiers who have seen Qi Fei, they naturally jumped out and bragged about it, not only raising their own value, but also praising Qi Fei as a fairy-like figure, but the more this is the case, the more mysterious it is, and the more the residents of Chang'an feel that this little scholar is unfathomable.

At this moment, Qi Fei, who lived at the foot of Xiaoqingshan, had already received a report from the imperial court, knowing that he would be the first to take the test, at this time, he was already sure in his heart that the middle-aged man who came to drink sour plum soup in the small courtyard that day was the ninety-five supreme of the Tang Kingdom.

The Tang Kingdom is naturally also a secular country supported by the Xiuzhen forces, and it is the object of support from the Mixed Yuan Dao Sect among the Nine Heavenly Sects.

The national surname of the Tang State is Zhao, which is the largest surname in the Mixed Yuan Taoist School, and the lay branch of the Zhao family.

But all this has nothing to do with Qi Fei, and Qi Fei has already begun to prepare for the palace test with peace of mind at this time.

In the ninth year of Tianbao, August 15, the time of Chen.

Tang Palace! The Golden Luang Treasure Palace.

Emperor Tang sat at the top, wearing a crown facing the sky, and the bead curtain half-concealed his face.

Below is a group of civil servants standing, and there are no military generals around.

Three hundred tribute tables were lined up from the middle of the hall to the outside of the main hall.

Qi Fei sat behind the first tribute table, he pinched the palace cakes distributed by the palace guards just now, and secretly broke off a few pieces and stuffed them into his mouth, the taste was very ordinary, not delicious.

At this time, the silk and bamboo music sounded, and the people of the Ministry of Rites began to distribute the exam papers.

The main test content of the palace examination is the question and the poem, the question is the need to answer the sheet, but the poem is not necessarily, sometimes the emperor is in a good mood, casually ordered the question, and let the tribute students present answer, which is also a kind of poetry to pass the exam.

The exam paper was sent, but there were no sealed exam questions on it, and at this time, Zuo Tianxiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said loudly: "Please ask the saint to come up with the question!" ā€

It turned out to be the emperor's direct proposition, which is a bit rare, in fact, this is also the most effective way to eliminate fraud in the last dragon gate of the scientific expedition.

The emperor personally made the question, and under normal circumstances, no one would know what the topic was, but it was not excluded that the emperor's neighbors, concubines, eunuchs, etc., found clues from the emperor's behavior, such as what books the emperor was reading in recent days, whose poems he recited in his mouth, and which sages he wrote, but generally it was rarely leaked, because even if the emperor usually had these signs, few people could guess the specific title of the topic from it.

At this time, I only heard the Tang Emperor speak lightly, first praised the sages, and then said: "The exam questions of today's dynasty are very simple, just take a sentence from Mr. Su Mingyue, a poet in history!" ā€

Poetry master Su Mingyue, is a famous figure in the history of the Tang Dynasty, known as the word sage, there are many types of poems, most of the poems are ancient sayings, but the words are all rhythms, although the status is not as good as the sages, but in the governance of the world, literature and art, etc., is a hundred leaders.

The candidates did not dare to speak, but the ministers whispered about it, this thing is quite rare, and it is extremely rare in history to use the words of the Su family as the topic.

After a long time, Tang Huang said: "The topic is, look northwest, shoot the wolf!" ā€

Looking northwest, shoot the wolf?

Look northwest and shoot the wolf!!

This is a sign that the sword is about to be raised, the emperor actually came up with such an exam question!

This kind of exam question may not come out once in a thousand years, and the general questions are all about the way to govern the world, where is there a question like looking northwest and shooting the wolf!

The ministers were silent, and the candidates were silent.

The ministers naturally have their own guesses in their hearts, but the candidates are really frightened by this question, most of these candidates grew up in a stable environment, and few have seen the cruelty of war.

Isn't it the gift of righteousness of a saint? Isn't it the way of the princes? No......

It's a pity, it's neither, it's just a sentence of "look northwest, shoot the wolf"!

At this time, after Qi Fei heard the question, he slowly raised his head and looked at Emperor Tang with disrespectful eyes, but unexpectedly, Emperor Tang was also looking at him.

The two looked at each other directly, and then suddenly separated, Qi Fei began to lower his head and write a pen, while Tang Huang closed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

An hour later, Qi Fei handed in the paper one by one, and then, more than a dozen people submitted the paper continuously, and it was not until the afternoon that the three hundred lifts were all written.

Tang Huang didn't read all of them, only read the dozen or so people who were the first to hand in the papers, and then handed over the remaining test papers to the Ministry of Rites, temporarily sealed them, and left them to read slowly.

Subsequently, Tang Huang said lightly: "Now I will test the poems, but this time I will not test the poems, but the words, the words of the word card!" ā€

Words of the word card!

The words of the word plate are the same as the poems, not the free body of ancient sayings, but the words with a fixed framework!

"Those who can make the words of the word card, fill in the words according to the card, can only make free words, or they can not follow the level, only fill in according to the number of words." Tang Huang said again.

Never, never when the palace test, the emperor came up with a question of a poem card or something like that!

Wenchen was puzzled, and everyone was terrified!

Finally someone fell on Qi Fei who was sitting in the first row, almost everyone's eyes were not good, it was this Duan Chunqiu, if it weren't for this Duan Chunqiu, he was very popular, made some quatrains of poetry, and circulated in Chang'an, how could the emperor come up with such a thing, only sages and sons and hundreds of schools can write something.

On the seat, there are poets who can barely fill in such things according to the rules, but it is difficult to say what they look like.

But what is a word card? No one dared to ask, no one even dared to look up.

At this time, Emperor Tang suddenly smiled slightly, his eyes flowed to the outside of the hall, and he said loudly: "The name of the word brand, break the array!" ā€

Breaking the Circle?

Break the Array!!

The civil officials were shocked!

Shocked!

The emperor's advice was to "look northwest and shoot the wolf"! The poetry exam is "Breaking the Array"!

What the hell is the emperor trying to do!
