Zhao Ji had just picked up the first test paper and was about to read it, when an attendant came to report and said, "The third prince asks to see him." ”

Zhao Ji smiled slightly, raised his eyes, and said with a smile: "Kai'er is here, teach him to come in." ”

After a while, Zhao Kai walked in, wearing a snow-white shirt, under the sword eyebrows, the narrow eyes were like gurgling spring water, warm as a spring breeze.

Zhao Kai entered Wenjing Pavilion, neither too restrained, nor too arrogant, only arched his hand to Zhao Ji, said a word to the emperor, then walked to the imperial case, and said with a smile: "Erchen doesn't seem to be too late, haha, I didn't expect Gonggong Yang to send the test papers." ”

Yang Jian hurriedly said with a smile: "The third prince is falsely praised, and the slave is ashamed. ”

Zhao Ji smiled, he had many sons, but there were few who were close, and the rest of the princes saw him like a mouse seeing a cat, and they were all terrified as if they were walking on thin ice, even if they answered, they were all trembling, full of flattery. Only this Zhao Kai, brilliant in writing, calligraphy and painting is also a must, very own style, see yourself, answer like a stream, neither disrespectful to his father, nor too cautious.

Zhao Ji's face showed a kind look, and he greeted Zhao Kai and said: "Kai'er, sit down and talk, you and I will read the papers together, and find a top three in this Taixue and Guozijian." ”

Yang Jian hurriedly moved a brocade pier for Zhao Kai, Zhao Kai sat down, and thanked Yang Jian, his gaze was disobedient, and he hung a reserved smile at any time, which flattered Yang Jian, and hurriedly said: "The third son of the emperor is too polite, where can a slave afford it." ”

Zhao Kai sat down and said straightforwardly: "Father, the child came to see this test paper, but he came for that Shen Ao, I don't know if Shen Ao's test paper was brought?" ”

Yang Jian smiled and said, "I brought it, it's the bottom one." ”

Zhao Ji smiled: "Kai'er is a person who knows the goods, okay, you first look at Shen Ao's volume." ”

Zhao Ji took out the test paper sealed by Shen Ao from the bottom, handed it to Zhao Kai, and picked up the first paper to read it.

Zhao Ji frowned, the first volume was from Wu Pen, and he suddenly raised his eyes: "That Wu Pen, could it be the young son of the host and guest of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Zhao Ji asked indifferently, and Yang Jian hurriedly said: "Exactly, the official family summoned him a few days ago." ”

Zhao Ji sighed and said, "The tiger father has no dogs, this Wu pen, articles and poems are very well done." His father is also very good, and it has been difficult for him lately. ”

Yang Jian was silent, went to pour tea for Zhao Ji and Zhao Kai, and carefully accompanied the side.

Zhao Ji continued to read the volume, and couldn't help but say good words a few times, and said after a while: "Cheng Hui really lives up to my expectations, his scripture is a superb work, I am afraid that even if Jiefu is alive, he will be impressed." ”

Jiefu is Wang Anshi's nickname, Wang Anshi advocated the scriptures and righteousness, and his one-handed scriptures and righteousness were naturally very good, so that many students in later generations went around copying his model texts to figure out the subtlety. Zhao Ji compared Cheng Hui's Jingyi to Wang Anshi, and even Zhao Kai, who was watching Shen Ao's test paper on the side, couldn't help but move.

Immediately, Zhao Ji said with some loss: "It's a pity that Cheng Hui's poems still haven't grown and lack scrutiny, otherwise this person would be firmly on the top spot." ”

Yang Jian smiled on the side: "It's strange to say, this country is very good at writing poetry, Taixue is very good at doing scriptures, and the slave also heard a joke in the workshop, saying that it was a certain scholar, because of his poor qualifications, he was scolded by his wife, and his wife said this: What kind of book did you read as a thief, make Taixue poems, and the scriptures and righteousness of Guozijian, and dare to wear a scarf to swagger......"

Zhao Ji and Zhao Kai couldn't help laughing, and Zhao Ji said: "You slave, there are only sharp teeth left." ”

Yang Jian said with a smile: "The official family has wronged the slave by saying this, and the slave waits for the official family, neither need to be able to make poetry, nor do you need to read any scriptures and articles, as long as the official family is comfortable, the slave will be satisfied." ”

This sentence was answered very decently, not only showing his loyalty, but also blocking Zhao Ji's smile back.

Zhao Kai said with a smile: "It is excellent that Father-in-law Yang can have this heart." ”

The two continued to look at the papers, Zhao Ji read them very quickly, and all of a sudden, more than a dozen papers were almost evaluated, and he said: "My big Song Qingjun is really extraordinary, these test papers are all excellent works." ”

At a glance, he saw that Zhao Kai was looking at Shen Ao's scroll with a stupid face, and said: "Kai'er, what is the meaning of Shen Ao's poetry?" ”

After calling several times in a row, Zhao Kai came back to his senses, hummed blankly, raised his eyes, but there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

Zhao Ji was secretly strange and said, "Kai'er, take the test paper and show it to me." ”

Zhao Kai was in high spirits and handed over the test paper to Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji was quite looking forward to the test paper that could make Kai'er lose his temper, which was strange, and he focused on reading the scriptures first.

'The ancients thought it was a courtesy, but I will do it now, which may not be in line with the ancient courtesy; The ancients thought it was righteous, and I will follow it now, which may not be in line with the righteousness of the ancients'

Seeing this opening topic, Zhao Ji couldn't help but help but help the case and said: "This opening topic is quite interesting, with a unique heart." ”

Then continue to look down, the whole article is in the middle of the rules, the whole text is closely related to the opening topic, and the format is flawless, Zhao Ji couldn't help laughing: "Shen Ao is a slippery head, Jingyi is his weakness, and I don't know where to learn the way to make such an article." ”

If you want to say that this scripture is meaningful, it is really leaky, impermeable, and you can't find the slightest mistake, but after reading an article, Zhao Ji always feels that Shen Ao has written so much, except for this opening topic, the rest is all nonsense.

The strangest thing is that he knows that he is nonsense, but he can't find out the mistakes and omissions, the reason makes sense, although there are some shocking words, but they are to the end, the style of writing changes, and he runs to the benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith.

Such a scripture, if it is said that he is not slippery, it is really unreasonable.

Zhao Kai said: "It is said that before Shen Ao entered the national prison, he had not even read the Four Books and Five Classics, and it was only half a year to be able to make such a scripture, which was already shocking. ”

Zhao Ji nodded his head, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "Kai'er seems to be quite interested in this Shen Ao, but I'm afraid that he specially sent a doctor to inquire about Shen Ao's studies." He smiled and said: "When I think of this slippery head, I also think of the four words that are shocking and vulgar, and only he can make such a scripture." ”

Continue to bury your head in reading the poem, the title of the poem is the word lovesickness, this opening topic, but it stumped many students, especially scholars like Cheng Hui, who studied hard all day, and his knowledge was naturally first-class, but he only remembered to read, but he neglected to love men and women.

If there is no love between men and women, what is lovesickness? Therefore, Cheng Hui stumbled before the battle this time, and the scriptures and righteousness were very good, and even Zhao Ji was moved by it, but the poems did not enter Zhao Ji's eyes.

These topic selectors of the Ministry of Rites are very shrewd, this time the topic is opened, stumped a group of people, the hard-working poor scholar does not know what lovesickness is, that is, the prison student of the Guozijian, although he is rich in feelings, and his emotional intelligence is quite high, but it is in the way of writing poetry. They usually make some ambiguous words, which is hand-to-hand, but this is the middle school test, it is the examination room, and the people who mark the papers are all officials, usually doctors and officials have a straight face, who dares to write too ambiguously in front of them?

Therefore, the poems and scriptures in these dozen volumes are all very good, but none of them can move people's hearts.

Zhao Ji was quite interested, and put his last hope on Shen Ao's test paper, and when he saw it, he was really stunned, and muttered: "Ask what the love in the world is, and teach life and death to make a promise." Okay, good ......" such a beginning, although it is shallow, is catchy, and it breaks the meaning of lovesickness and directly rebukes people's hearts.

Looking further down, the full word reads: "The sky is south and the north are double flyers, and the old wings are cold and hot several times." Happy and fun, parting bitter, there are even more crazy children. You should have words, thousands of miles of stratus clouds, thousands of mountains and twilight snow, only the shadow to whom.

Hengfen Road, lonely when the drums, the smoke is still flat. The soul is a little more groaning, and the mountain ghosts are crying in the wind. The sky is also jealous, and the warblers and swallows are all loess. Through the ages, in order to stay to scratch people, he sang and drank wildly, and visited Yanqiu. ”

Zhao Ji stared at the test paper silently, his mind unpredictable.

At the beginning of the words, a strange question came out of nowhere. The name of this poem is "Yan Qiu Ci", I thought that it was not only a wild goose as the theme, but the beginning was a song of geese, but the word was written from the "world" first, with people imitating geese, giving the wild goose a meaning beyond nature, and the imagination is extremely novel. I also wrote a pre-made book for the following geese.

At the extreme, "the living can die, and the dead can live". "Life and death promise" is so affectionate!

Then came to the second sentence, the pen turned, but it was a description of the double geese, "the south of the world, the north of the earth" in the winter to the south and the spring to the north, "several times of cold and summer" in the double stay and double flying, depending on each other, a deep love. There is both joyful reunion and parting, but no power can separate them. And after "snaring the amphibious dream", the lover has passed away, and An can live alone! So the "people who broke off the net" made up their minds to follow Jiuquan and "die by throwing themselves to death".

This is a very small story, but behind the story, there is a kind of heart-wrenching feeling.

Then the poem began to change again, using the surrounding scenery to set off the misery of the wild goose after the martyrdom. In the place where the lonely goose rests, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty crossed the Fen River to worship Fenyin, the drums were noisy and the songs were everywhere; Now the flat forest is deserted, the barren smoke is like weaving, the sound of the flute and drums is overwhelming, and it is a bleak group. Ancient and modern, people and geese, feel the poignancy of the martyrdom of the wild goose. But the dead cannot be resurrected, the spirit is of no avail, and the mountain ghosts are also mourning in vain.

At the end of the word, it is a tribute to the martyrdom of the wild goose, talking about the death of the wild goose, its realm is so high, the heavens will be jealous, although it cannot be said to be heavier than Mount Tai, nor can it be the same as the death of the warbler swallow to return to the loess. Its reputation will be "eternal" and will be praised by later scratchers.

Such poems, the rhetoric is gorgeous, and at the same time rebukes people's hearts, so that when people read aloud, they can't help but be sentimental, as if there is an echo of the geese chirping in their ears, and the geese cry blood, telling melancholy and lovesick feelings, not to mention Zhao Kai, that Zhao Ji, tasted the feelings in the words, and his eyes were suddenly blurred.
