There are more than 100 scholars on the Yichun platform, it is impossible for everyone to be the examiner to make the question, and three people need to be recommended from it, through Peng Juren's name, Jing Yi and the other two surnamed Qi and Yuan Confucianism became the questioners, although Zeng Yu knew that these three people must have a close relationship with Lie and Liu, but he was not worried, because the question was temporarily proposed by the scholars on the spot, and there was no possibility of collusion in advance, and looking at Lie Licheng's arrogant appearance, he obviously wanted to win him with real talent and learning, which is very good.

Each person's scripture is different, if the scripture question can not be taken into account, and the question is not praised, so the question should be out of the four books, as long as it is from the four books, then no matter the interception question, the small question can be, Jing Yi three people are limited to one question each, Zeng Yu and Lie, Liu Ersheng only need to start to solve the question within the sound of Muyu ten rings, you can rush to answer.

Liu Xingzhi discussed a few words with Lie Licheng, and took the initiative to propose to add two more questions, that is, Lie Licheng and Liu Xingzhi proposed a question for Zeng Yu to solve the problem, if Zeng Yu could not break it within ten rings of Muyu or did not break it well, it would be solved by Lie and Liu's side; The same is true for Zeng Yu -

In addition to a few people such as Peng Xiaolian who also enjoy the shade of pines and cypresses, other scholars are exposed to the blazing sun, each with a big sleeve or a paper fan to shade the sun, but the interest is not reduced at all, breaking the topic is the favorite of readers, classmates and friends usually often draw a question to compete with each other, but it is rare for the court to make a contract to win, so everyone has a strong interest.

Peng Juren stood at the wall table, picked up a small wooden mallet, and said, "Jing Sheng will come up with the question first." ”

Jing Yi took a step forward and said loudly: "Fan Chi asks." ”

This is the Analects? In a sentence in "Yongye", after Jing Yi came up with the question, he bowed to Peng Juren, and then stepped back to rank with Qi and Yuan Ersheng.

Peng Juren was also refreshed, without saying a word, knocking on the wooden fish: "Grabbing-grabbing-grabbing-——,grabbing" When knocking on the wooden fish, Peng Juren showed a smile on his face, presumably because he felt that he was a little funny like this.

The wooden fish rang the fifth sound, and Zeng Yu said loudly: "Push the things and hearts of benevolence, and each has its own specialty." ”

Zeng Yu finished solving the problem, Peng Juren's ten wooden fish had not yet been knocked out, and Lie and Liu Ersheng first exchanged heads and ears, and then they were dumbfounded.

Peng Juren reminded: "Liesheng, Liu Sheng, the wooden fish will pass in ten breaths, you two don't have to discuss, just solve the problem separately." ”

This first question is Zeng Yu's victory, Zeng Yu not only answered like a loud answer, but also broke this question with a smooth and dexterous break, broke quickly and wonderfully, and won cleanly.

Yuan Sheng asked: "The words of the world do not return to Yang." ”

This is the question of "Mencius", the complete sentence is "the words of the world do not return to Yang then return to ink", this is the interception of the question, the most taboo to cut off the question, neither can abandon the word "then return to ink" without use, and can not violate the meaning of the word "then return to ink", so it is very difficult, and breaking the question is the key -

As soon as the emptying of the wooden fish sounded, Zeng Yu had already broken the topic and said: "If you want to conquer the world, it is even more dangerous if you don't return." ”

As soon as Lie Licheng and Liu Xingzhi opened their mouths, Zeng Yu had already recited the question, it was too fast, didn't he have to think about it?

Peng Juren also stared at Zeng Yu, and forgot to knock on the wooden fish a few times.

Zeng Yu's mood at this time is calm and sad, when he was fourteen years old, his uncle, father and grandmother died successively, he and his biological mother Zhou's days gradually bleak, when the little sister Niuniu was still in infancy, the young Zeng Yu stayed in his uncle's simple room all day long to read and practice calligraphy, he nearly 50,000 words of "University", "The Mean", "Analects" and "Mencius" almost every sentence to practice to solve the problem, the hard work is unimaginable to outsiders, in order to go to school to make up for the students, so that the mother Zhou and the little sister Niuniu can live a good life, But if you endure hardships, you may not be able to become an adult, but you must also have the vision and skill to behave in the world-

This second question is Zeng Yusheng, if it weren't for Governor Liu Xing's proposal to add the second question before, then Zeng Yu would have won, and now, Lie and Liu Ersheng still have a chance.

Qi Sheng came up with the third question: "Fear of the words of the great man and the saint." ”

This question is from the "Analects", which is a truncated question, this time Liu Xingzhi should break the question: "Adults are afraid of the holy words, and they respect the heavens." ”

Almost at the same time, Zeng Yu also broke the topic: "People and words are also through the sky, and a gentleman must be afraid." ”

All the scholars on the Yichun stage paid attention to Peng Juren, to see how Peng Juren judged, many people secretly compared Zeng Yu and Liu Xingzhi's problem-solving, and felt that it was difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior, Jing Yi said: "This question was made by Liu Xingzhi before, so it can be answered like a sound, but to be fair, it is Zeng Yu's problem-solving that is more elegant and natural." ”

Peng Juren said solemnly with an old face: "A gentleman has three fears: fear of the mandate of heaven, fear of adults, fear of the words of the sage, although Zeng Sheng is clever in solving the problem, but there are drawbacks, this question must be counted, Liu Ersheng wins." Then he said: "Next, please ask Zeng Sheng to draft a question for Liesheng and Liu Sheng to answer, and it is also a wooden fish ten rings." ”

Lie Licheng and Liu Xingzhi both felt that their faces were a little hot, Peng Juren was shielding them, if Zeng Yu broke the question of the word "gentleman" committed the first half of the sentence, then their word "heaven" was also guilty of the first half of the sentence of "fear of the destiny of heaven", committing the crime, even the upper and lower are not defined in this way, even the scientific examination will not be so strict, only said that it is difficult, Lie Licheng and Liu Xingzhi know that they can't help but feel ashamed in their hearts-

The scholars on the Yichun platform whispered in their ears for a while, and then quieted down, many people looked at Zeng Yu with a different gaze than before, and they had rejected outsiders in the hope that Lie Licheng would win, but now they hoped that Zeng Yu would win.

If you want to win the head snake, it is inevitable that there will be many difficulties, Zeng Yu did not resent, and said calmly: "The question under is - Zi Wei Yan Yuan said: 'If you use it, you will hide it, but I have a husband with you'." ”

This is a complete sentence, since Zhengde, there are few complete sentences in the four book questions, it is said that this kind of question is better to break the question, but many scholars today are not suitable for this, Zeng Yu is going to be surprised-

Peng Juren's wooden fish knocked up, knocked to the seventh time, Peng Juren suddenly reversed his anger and coughed, so the knocking on the wooden fish also slowed down for a while, and Liu Xingzhi finally broke the problem when the tenth sound of the wooden fish sounded: "It is appropriate for the saint to hide, and the one who can do it will also show it slightly." ”

Zeng Yu nodded secretly, this Liu Xingzhi is worthy of being the first batch of candidates for the hospital examination, and he is quite talented, and this question is also Zhou Zheng, and he lives up to Peng Juren's cough.

The scorching sun on the Yichun platform was scorching, and the scholars were wiping their sweat while waiting for Lie and Liu Ersheng to come up with the question, now let's look at the last question, if Zeng Yu is also blameless, then Zeng Yu wins, and three wins in five questions.

Lie Licheng and Liu Xingzhi discussed it slightly, and Liu Xingzhi bowed his hand to Zeng Yuyi: "Zeng Gongzi, I have a question below, please listen to it - if it is useful, I will do it." ”

This is the truncated question in the "Analects", the complete sentence is "If you use me, I am the Eastern Zhouhu", Confucius was born in troubled times, and he took charge of the Zhou Wei Dao, this question is the meaning of how the sage can be used in the world——

Peng Juren's wooden fish began to knock up, not coughing or wheezing, knocking evenly and steadily, Zeng Yu thought for a while, and broke the topic: "The sage has the opinion of the sage, showing the power of the world." ”

After the problem was solved, the ten sounds of the wooden fish were just finished, no matter how much they picked the thorns in this problem, there was no mistake, and the Yichun platform was silent, and everyone was watching how Peng Juren still protected Lie and Liu——

Peng Juren was not in a hurry, he took out a sweat towel and slowly wiped his sweat, and was not in a hurry to judge, Na Lie Licheng's face was red, and he suddenly bowed his hand to Zeng Yu and said: "It was Zeng Gongzi who won, and he will admit defeat in the next." ”

Peng Juren was relieved, nodded and said: "Liesheng is very elegant, and the honest gentleman is also, the victory or defeat of the two sides is only between millimeters, this literary fight is so exciting, do you think so?" ”

On the Yichun platform, when everyone praised Lie Licheng for being upright, Peng Juren walked up to Zeng Yu and said with a smile: "You are very good at solving the problem, no wonder Huang Tixue wants to allow you to take the make-up exam, talents are rare." ”

Peng Juren's words were gentle and rewarding, Zeng Yu wanted to thank and respect him, and he did have some admiration in his heart: this is the old oilman who is exquisite.

Lie Licheng didn't expect that he would lose at all, so he didn't prepare the one hundred taels of silver, so he hurriedly ordered the servant to hurry up to get the silver, and the servant wiped his sweat and said: "Young master, where is the account room willing to hand over one hundred taels of silver to the little one, the young master writes a letter and asks the little one to take it back." ”

One hundred taels of silver can buy a big house with three facades and two courtyards in a good location in Yichun City, which is not a small amount.

Lie Licheng felt that this servant had made him lose face in front of everyone, and was about to scold, Zeng Yu learned from Peng Juren's exquisiteness, and walked over and said: "Brother Lie, Brother Liu, we will meet friends with literature today, the so-called bet is just a joke, how can it be taken seriously, and it is also beneficial to learn literature and art with the two brothers below." ”

Lie Licheng is proud and good-looking, how can he say that the bet is just a joke in front of everyone, so isn't it a shame to be poked in the spine without faith, and the gambling contract is still in black and white, not to mention that one hundred taels of silver is not unaffordable for him, and said loudly: "One hundred taels of silver is a lot, go and get it." The pen and ink were ready-made, and he hurriedly wrote a note and handed it to the servant, and ordered the servant to go back quickly.

Zeng Yu bowed his hand to Peng Juren again: "I want to invite Peng Xiaolian to have two drinks in the restaurant under the mountain, I don't know if Peng Xiaolian is willing to appreciate his face?" Brother Fu, Brother Yi, Brother Yuan, Brother Qi, Brother Jing, as well as Brother Lie and Brother Liu all enjoyed their faces together. ”

Lie Licheng despised and said: "How can this be reasonable, you are a guest, where is the reason for you to invite, of course I am the east." ”

Peng Juren, who is over fifty years old, has rich experience and has read a lot of people, and looked at Zeng Yu with a smile, thinking that this son would be a character, young age, and really terrifying.
