Chapter 180: Catch the ducks on the shelves
In fact, without looking at the eyes of the people around him, as soon as Li Zuochang said it, he already noticed that something was wrong.
But he had to.
Hanlin is divided into three levels: bachelor, lecturer (waiter, waiter), and historian (revision, editing, reviewing).
Li Zuochang is not confused when he is near, his temples are slightly frosted, and he is about the same age as most lecturers, but he is still only a mere editor of the seventh grade, ranking at the bottom of the Hanlin Dynasty, and can only compile books and revise history, and in most cases, he can't even see the face of the Son of Heaven.
If you are promoted step by step, I am afraid that you may not be able to rise to the bachelor's level when your hair is gray, what ideals and ambitions are you talking about?
Now that there is finally an opportunity to enter the eyes of the Son of Heaven, Li Zuochang can't care about being reckless or not, so he can only speak first.
The attendant who came to deliver the decree was holding the scroll and feeling that his hands were sore, and when he heard Li Zuochang's words of "come first to offer ugliness", he couldn't help but feel refreshed.
"What is ugly is not ugly, this adult is too humble, he can be confident in a moment, it is really rare, it can be seen that the adult is talented, please hurry up and chant the masterpiece, the slave and maid listen to it."
】
Li Zuochang couldn't wait for a long time, and when he heard what the servant said, he coughed lightly at the moment, opened his mouth and groaned: "Puxiang wind warms Lanchen, and the imperial garden sighs and travels to Zichen." The scenery of Jiuchun is full of golden pools, and it is also clean and dusty because of the rain. The blue trees in the secluded pool welcome the immortals, and the painting of the Zhu column is close to the ministers. If you want to know the king, you are a peaceful person. ”
"Good!"
Before Li Zuochang's words fell, some people applauded and cheered: "The scenery of the painted palace garden, the virtue of the singer, the luxurious atmosphere, the mellow and elegant meaning, it is really the top quality of the poem." ”
Those who can enter the Hanlin Academy are all talented people, and they can naturally appreciate the quality of Li Zuochang's poem.
Even a few old Hanlins who had a little disdain for Li Zuochang before couldn't help but look at Li Zuochang with admiration at this time.
With this handwritten poem alone, this son is enough to gain a foothold in the Hanlin Academy.
You know, there are many restrictions on writing a poem, it's like dancing with shackles, but if you can still dance well with shackles, that's the real skill.
In the same way, if you can write all the poems that should be produced wonderfully, it will naturally be easy to write other poems.
In Li Zuochang's poem, the imagery of "Puxiang", "Zichen", "Golden Pond" and "Painting Boat" are all very beautiful, which not only describes the beautiful scenery of the royal palace, but also appropriately expresses the praise of the holy monarch and the joy of being in a peaceful and prosperous world.
The poems should be made to the level of Li Zuochang, even for the Hanlin present, it is difficult to surpass.
It is worthy of being a new science and technology exploration flower!
After a burst of admiration, a sigh of regret resounded in the review hall, and everyone lost their interest in composing poetry and put away their thoughts.
Since Li Zuochang Zhuyu is in front, then there is no need for them to waste their efforts in vain, and they will have to bring humiliation on themselves.
However, when the messenger saw the appearance of Zhonghan Lin Yixing, he was a little dissatisfied.
Although he came from a vulgar background and didn't understand poetry, he understood the truth of shopping around, and now there is only one such thing as Li Zuochang, where can you tell the good from the bad? How should he explain to the official family after he returns to the palace?
The attendant in the herald looked at all Hanlin and asked in a deep voice: "What about the rest of you, you are all talented people who are waiting for the Great Monday, do you want Li Bianxiu to specialize in beauty alone?" ”
Everyone shook their heads and said: "This is enough, no matter how much is a waste, my father-in-law just needs to go back to the palace to reply to the decree." ”
"That's a good point! If it doesn't go with the wishes of the official, blame it, but it's all my errand job. When the time comes, who of you will carry the black pot for me? ”
The chamberlain pursed his lips and cursed secretly. I can't imagine that these Hanlin are so lazy, and they all retreat so easily, and it seems that they are the only ones who can forcibly compose poems by name.
Just as he was thinking about who to order to come out, suddenly, the waiter caught a glimpse of a slightly immature face in the crowd, and was overjoyed: "It turns out that Wei Liushou is also here!" Wei Liu's head? Wei Liu's head? ”
Wei Chen was holding an ancient book brought out of the library at this time, and he was fascinated by it in the corner. Hearing someone shouting his name, he was slightly stunned at first, and then reluctantly put away the scroll and stepped forward.
The chamberlain said quite courteously: "Slave Gao Huai, can you remember Wei Liushou?" In the past, when the temple was tested, it was I who showed you the way. ”
Wei Chen hadn't paid attention before, but at this time, after Gao Huai's reminder, he carefully identified his face, and then remembered that after the palace examination was over, it was already evening, and the sky was dark, and it was this little eunuch who carried a lantern for himself and took himself out of the palace gate.
Wei Chen arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be Gonggong Gao, and he didn't realize that it had been a month since the palace gate was separated in the past." ”
Now that he met an acquaintance, Gao Huai was not polite, and immediately said to Wei Chen: "I have long heard that Wei Liu's poems and articles are all refined, and every time a good work comes out, it attracts people from all over the world to copy it." Wei Liushou has such a great talent, why not hesitate to dedicate a poem to please His Majesty's dragon face? ”
"This ......"
Wei Chen glanced at Li Zuochang on the side without a trace, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he saw him looking over nervously.
It's just a poem that should be made, and it's a piece of cake for Wei Chen, but Wei Chen is such a meticulous person, so he naturally noticed Li Zuochang's enthusiasm for this matter a long time ago, and after just a little thought, he understood his thoughts.
After all, everyone is in the same year, and Wei Chen also has the heart to fulfill Li Zuochang this time, so he didn't come out with the crowd and hid behind to enjoy leisure.
It's just that at the moment, Gao Huai wants Wei Chen to compose poems by name, which is a little difficult. After all, he came to deliver the decree on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and Wei Chen couldn't prevaricate casually.
Gao Huai saw that Wei Chen was hesitant, and urged again and again, Wei Chen had no choice but to reluctantly say: "In this case, then the lower official will chant a song, and the class will get the axe, and you will have fun chatting." ”
Gao Huai smiled and said: "Good or not, there are all Hanlin judges, why should Wei Liushou be too humble?" However, according to the foolish opinion of the slave maid, the champion appointed by His Majesty should always be better than the list, not to mention the six yuan that has not been seen in ancient and modern times? ”
Wei Chen's color changed slightly when he heard this, as soon as Gao Huai's words came out, he couldn't just deal with a mediocre work, otherwise he would not only slap Wei Chen's own face, but also slap Zhao Zhen's face, who appointed him as six yuan, Wei Chen couldn't afford this crime.
Until now, Wei Chen could only silently say sorry to Li Zuochang in his heart.
It's not that I don't give you a chance, it's really that Gao Huai, the little eunuch, is too a chicken thief and has raised me high, I just don't want to be in the limelight.
Wei Chen sighed lightly, and then slowly groaned: "The rainbow pole is leaning on the cross-current, and the immortal chariot is guilty of bullfighting. ”
"Good!"
Wei Chen just chanted the first sentence, which attracted a burst of applause, and the itchy crowd hurriedly urged the following. Li Zuochang on the side also leaned forward unconsciously, his face full of nervousness.
Wei Chen had no distractions, and continued to chant the whole poem: "The rainbow pole leans on the cross-stream for a hundred feet, and the immortal chacha commits bullfighting." The stars of the light arch are jade bait, and the crescent moon is like a silver hook. Put aside the smoke and water for 3,000 zhang, and sit on the old Qiankun for hundreds of millions of years. If you meet the Jade Emperor, if you ask, silk is now a big week. ”
After a moment of silence, an old Hanlin broke the silence with a statement: "Using the rainbow as a rod to fish the sea and cross the current, what a majestic atmosphere, this is the royal weather!" ”
"It's not just the royal weather, it's the fairy weather!"
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Hanlin, you and I, all the words are full of admiration for Wei Chen's poem, but as for the poem written by Li Zuochang just now, it is dwarfed and no one mentions it anymore.
Looking at Wei Chen, who was surrounded by his colleagues like stars and moons, Li Zuochang couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and secretly bitter in his heart: he was really unlucky, how could he enter the Hanlin Academy in the same department as this unborn demon!
