Chapter Eighty-Eight: Asking for Subjects
The Changguo coachman immediately stood up again, his face turned red with anger, and he pointed at Lu Ming's nose and shouted: "Bold! You dare to do something to me, do you know who I am? I am a child of the Liu family of Dachangguo!"
Lu Ming laughed disdainfully when he heard this, "I really don't know your Liu family. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Ignorance!"
The Changguo coachman said proudly: "Our Liu family is a famous family in Changguo, famous all over the world, you dare to say that you don't know?"
"I really haven't heard of it. Lu Ming replied.
"You...... You ......"
The Changguo coachman gritted his teeth in anger, and looked at Lu Ming with anger in his eyes.
"Hmph, who is so bold as to dare to argue with my Liu family?", a voice came from a carriage, and a person stepped out of the carriage.
Lu Ming looked over and saw that it was a seventeen-year-old scribe with a handsome face, a pearl and jade hanging from his waist, and a delicate folding fan in his hand, with a graceful demeanor.
"Childe, this is the kid!"
The Changguo coachman immediately said: "This kid suddenly appeared in the middle of the road, and without saying a word, he pulled my whip and pulled me off the horse, this kind of behavior is really bad, Yufeng Gongzi, you have to call the shots for me!"
"Oh...... I see. ”
Liu Yufeng nodded slightly, turned his head to look at Lu Ming, and said in a questioning tone, "Who are you?"
"Reader. Lu Ming replied.
"No one has ever dared to do anything to my Liu family at will, do you know what the consequences will be if you do this?", Liu Yufeng said sharply.
"Listen to what you mean, could it be that I did something wrong?", Lu Ming asked.
"Isn't it?", Liu Yufeng asked rhetorically.
As soon as these words came out, Liang Guoren's faces changed, and they all secretly scolded Liu Yufeng for being shameless in their hearts, but no one scolded directly.
Lu Ming showed displeasure on his face and said, "Do you know that just now your coachman was going to beat the child with a whip, if I hadn't stopped him, the whip would have hit him!"
Liu Yufeng sneered and said: "I really don't know this, I only know that the child is not injured, but you are going to beat my coachman, if I don't show up in time, I'm afraid my coachman will be punched by you." ”
"What did you say?", Lu Ming's face changed.
"My coachman is an ordinary person without a literary position, just now I saw that your strength is not small, and I want to mobilize a lot of talent, are you Liang Guo scholars so reckless and don't know the severity? If my coachman is punched like this, I'm afraid I will have to lie down for half a month!"
At the same time, the Changguo scholars in the carriage behind also poked their heads out one after another, pointing at Lu Ming, and speaking extremely ugly.
"What a Liang person, he did something wrong and blamed Brother Liu in turn, this kind of person is nothing more than that. ”
"I thought that the scholars in Liang Guo were reasonable, when did they become so cunning? Don't you think that we are foreign tourists and are easy to bully?"
"Insulting Sven! Read the book of sages in vain!"
Liang Guoren was even more angry when he heard this, this was clearly reversing black and white, and he took a bite.
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "What a pair of sharp teeth, he can actually reverse black and white, and he doesn't blush when he lies, it doesn't seem to be a good type." ”
Thinking of this, Lu Ming immediately said: "Brother Tai's words are serious, isn't your coachman okay? You Liu family people, won't you be so weak and injured by my gentle pull, do you want me to compensate for some medical expenses?"
Liu Yufeng's face changed slightly, he didn't expect Lu Ming's reaction to be so fast, and when he said this, he couldn't attack with words at once.
"No need, just be careful next time, our Liu family has not yet fallen to the point of using your Liang people's silver. ”
"Listening to your tone, it seems that you look down on our Liang Guo's scholars. Lu Ming's face sank.
"What is there about you Liang people that we can look up to?", Liu Yufeng smiled disapprerovingly.
"We Liang people don't need you to look up to it, but you must know that this is Liang Kingdom. Lu Ming was-for-tat, not giving an inch.
Liu Yufeng snorted coldly and said, "You scholar is quite arrogant, worthy of my eyes, how about making a friend?"
"I'm just a scholar, and I can't climb up to your Liu family. Lu Ming said.
"Really?"
Liu Yufeng sneered: "It's really shameless, if you, a poor scholar, are in Changguo, you don't even have the qualifications to lift shoes for me!"
Then he said to the driver, "Let's go, and leave these people alone." ”
"Yes. ”
The Changguo coachman got back on his horse and led the convoy away.
"Shameless Liu family!, reverse black and white!", someone scolded.
"Who is Liu Yufeng? I seem to have heard of his literary name, but I don't remember it. ”
"Hehe, I know who he is, he was the head of the Changguo case last year, he went to high school in the first imperial examination, and then he was a scribe in the same year, and he passed two imperial examinations in one go, and he is a very rare talent. ”
"It turned out to be him! I said how this person's name is familiar, I once saw his name on the literature list of the Seven Kingdoms!"
"This person is not a good type, it is better for you to have less contact!"
"What Brother Tai said is extremely true. ”
After listening to everyone's discussions, Lu Ming pondered for a moment in place, and then silently left here and returned to the barracks.
In the afternoon, Yang Xiuyuan was taking time to study, when he suddenly heard a voice coming: "Student Lu Ming asks to see a scholar." ”
"Come in. Yang Xiuyuan put down the book.
Lu Ming walked in with a few books in his hand, put them on the table on the side, and saluted Yang Xiuyuan: "Scholar, are you free?"
"The Eastern Demon Army has been defeated and surrendered, and the old man really doesn't have anything else to do at the moment, do you have anything to do?"
"In a few days, the government exam will begin, and although the students have memorized most of the subject content, there are still many things that they don't know much, so they want to ask you for advice. ”
Yang Xiuyuan nodded and said with a smile: "You are smart, you know that you will find me, a scholar, to guide you, in this way, you will definitely make great progress." ”
"So, did you agree?", Lu Ming's face was happy.
"Of course. Yang Xiuyuan smiled: "Say, what subjects do you want to ask?"
"Pastures, essays, essays, and the Three Classics. Lu Ming replied.
"These are all subjects in the government exam, and if you want to master all of them, it will take a lot of time, and it seems that you are bound to get the first name of the talent. ”
"I have to be admitted to the top Maocai, otherwise I will live up to Lin Xiaoyan's expectations of me, which has always been my goal. Lu Ming said.
Yang Xiuyuan nodded and said, "From now on, you come to the old man every day to study, and the old man will definitely do his best to tutor you." ”
"Thank you, Fellow. ”
"Then let's start with the scriptures. ”
Yang Xiuyuan opened the book and began to instruct Lu Ming to study.
Pasting scriptures is equivalent to the current fill-in-the-blank and silent writing, which is to leave a part of a Confucian classic passage blank on the exam question, leaving the remaining part, and allowing the candidate to write the blank part silently according to the context.
This subject mainly tests the familiarity with classic texts, mainly reflects the ability to memorize, that is, memorize, and requires a lot of time and hard work.
Because of the "Enlightenment of the Holy Words", Lu Ming's memory is far better than that of ordinary people, but even if he "memorizes by rote", he will still miss some content.
So this time, under the guidance of Yang Xiuyuan, Lu Ming not only had to recite many articles, but also understand the meaning.
The essay in the imperial examination is a branch of prose, a variant of argumentative essays, both argumentative and lyrical, usually short in length, diverse in form, in the imperial examination to the author to use a variety of rhetorical techniques to convey their own opinions and emotions, the language is smart, tactful and ironic, is a more popular style of writing in the society where the ban is not opened.
A policy discussion is an article that discusses current political issues and offers advice to the imperial court.
As for the last three classics, you can choose one or both of the "Book of Rites" and "Zuo Chuan" of the Great Classics; you can choose one or two classics from the "Book of Songs", "Zhou Li" and "Rites" of the Middle Classics; you can choose one or two classics from the "Book of Changes", "Book of Changes", "The Legend of the Ram" and "The Legend of Hubliang" of the small classics, and write them silently according to the designated paragraphs.
On the morning of the second day, Yang Xiuyuan led Lu Ming and the generals of the Suzhou Army to ascend the Jinluan Hall together.
Liang Jun, who was dressed in a dragon robe, sat on the dragon chair, looked at the civil and military officials below, and said slowly: "This time, Yang Aiqing led the Suzhou army to the north to kill the demons, recover the lost land, protect my mountains and rivers, and raise the prestige of our country. ”
As soon as the words fell, the eunuch beside him immediately walked to the front with the holy decree and said loudly: "The Suzhou army will listen to the decree!"
Lu Ming immediately followed Yang Xiuyuan and the others to salute deeply with a respectful attitude.
The eunuch opened the holy decree and read it aloud: "Fengtian carrier, Liang Jun Zhao said: Yang Xiuyuan, a scholar of Fengzhenzhou University, is the governor of Yanzhou, and concurrently serves as the general soldier of Yanzhou, expanding the military power by 200,000, giving forty holy pages, a gold medal order arrow, and a flying cloud boat. ”
"The Suzhou Army was renamed the 'Zhenzhou Army', rewarded with 10 million silver, and the fallen soldiers were buried on an auspicious day, and their families were rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver. ”
"The poet Lu Ming of the Fengzhen State is the four-grade Wenjue, and serves as the major general of the Zhenzhou Army, and does not grant real power for the time being, and gives twenty holy pages and a set of four treasures of the best scholar's room. ”
"Yi Changyun, the general of the Zhenzhou Army, was appointed as the marshal of the Zhenzhou Army, and he was given the best demon killing sword and silver unicorn armor. ”
"General Feng Zhenghui is the general of the Zhenzhou Army, with 10,000 troops in charge, and he is given a demon sword......"
......
There is a lot of content in the holy decree, and it is written that it is a reward for the Zhenzhou army, and it took a full fifteen minutes to read the content.
As the word "Qin this" fell, everyone immediately thanked: "Ministers and others thank you, long live!"
The eunuch put away this volume of holy decrees and respectfully handed it into Yang Xiuyuan's hands.
Immediately afterwards, Liang Jun began to discuss political affairs with his ministers, and it was not until an hour later that he announced his retirement from the court.
