Chapter 264: The clouds are in the blue sky
If it was the original Xiao Feng, this would definitely be bragging.
Is Gongshi easy to test? How many Xiucai can't pass the test for a lifetime, and how many people can't pass the test for a lifetime.
If you don't have a 10 percent success rate, who would dare to say that your article is necessarily better than 90 percent of the others?
But Xiao Feng at this time is really not bragging.
The original owner's nerdy nature made him familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and the knowledge and experience of later generations made his thinking both leaping and rigorous, which are very important in the imperial examination articles.
Xiao Feng once read some of the top exam papers in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and their ideology seemed to be somewhat ahead of the times at that time, and the old tunes of the Four Books and Five Classics played out refreshing new songs.
But in the eyes of the world in the future, in fact, it is still talking about Xinren's famous words - the pattern is small.
If there is a person who can skillfully use the Four Books and Five Classics, and has a thinking pattern that transcends hundreds of years, is it difficult for Zhonggongshi?
Facts have proved that it is not difficult that there are 300 tributes, and it was not until the rankings were announced that the names sealed on the rolling paper were deducted and recorded on the list one by one.
Yan Shifan got his wish to get a "member", in this matter, no one believes that there is no fraud.
Even if Yan Shifan is only eight years old, there are so many candidates who are geniuses. And winning the first place is really fateful, how can you say that you can get it?
Of course, Zhang Juzheng is not a good person, although he didn't plan to help Xiao Feng run any first place, but he also did a good job in case Xiao Feng fell off the list, and let the teacher pull his brother.
Fortunately, although Xiao Feng did not enter the top few, he also ranked tenth, and successfully entered the ranks of tributes, which did not drag Zhang Juzheng to take any small risks.
Of course, the name Yan Shifan is like thunder, but Xiao Feng's name has also attracted some attention. Of course, everyone has always thought that this is the same name as the Great Tomorrow Master when he first went.
After all, the name Xiao Feng is not unique, and it is too normal to have the same name, for example, in a website in later generations, the protagonists of at least eight out of ten books are surnamed Xiao.
Because of the military disaster, the time of this spring was postponed. As a result, the one-month interval between the usual examination and the temple examination was abolished.
Jiajing also hopes to get the matter done as soon as possible, so that he can live a life of dedication to cultivation again. All the government and Jiajing can not show up, but the palace test can't be.
Scholars all over the world come to the emperor, you don't come forward to preside over the exam, hand-pick the top three, do you, the emperor, look down on the world's readers?
Except for Qin Shi Huang, the emperor who looks down on the world's scholars is not reliable, so Jiajing must also make a statement: I value you very much!
At the beginning of the palace examination, the three hundred tributes were wearing tribute robes in the imperial palace, waiting for the emperor's questions. Although the exam atmosphere here is much more relaxed than the exam, everyone is still holding back, after all, who doesn't want to be the champion.
The standard style of the palace examination is the question of the emperor, that is, the emperor asks a question and asks the tributes to answer, and whoever answers well will be ranked. In the process of questioning, some use written tests, and some simply answer on the spot, depending on the emperor's meaning.
Jiajing almost did not hesitate to choose the faster and more labor-saving way of answering, and there was actually only one thing he had been thinking about in his mind, that is, whether to give the champion to Yan Shifan.
Therefore, he didn't have the energy to do any written exams, and he had to read the papers. With an undecided mind, Jiajing appeared in the Wenhua Palace, which immediately attracted a "long live" voice from the tributes.
The topic of the policy is set by the emperor, and it is generally inspired by the emperor, and the topic is relatively flexible, with the strong personal color of the emperor of the current dynasty. The main purpose is to see how adaptable and mental these nerds are.
After all, they are all going to be officials in the future, and the stronger these abilities, the stronger their natural work ability should be, and they can be placed in higher and more important positions.
When the examiner asked Jiajing to give the question, Jiajing thought about it for a while and actually came up with two poems.
"I'll ask Wu Yu to say, the clouds are in the blue sky, and the water is in the bottle."
The examiner was puzzled and had the heart to ask Jiajing clearly, but Jiajing had already half-closed his eyes, sat in front of the main hall, and looked at the three hundred tributes below incomprehensibly.
The examiner had no choice but to hang out these two poems as a question question, and the tributes were dumbfounded, this, how to answer this?
Jiajing said lightly: "You are all Ming talents, it is difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior, today's palace test, only look at the depth of fate, the level of luck."
Just match these two lines of poetry, whoever thinks about it, whoever says it. ”
Although this poem is a bit secluded, which of the tributes in the palace is not a person who has read poetry and books? What if someone else preempts such a simple question?
When the next tribute came out first, he said loudly: "Long live, this poem is from the Tang Dynasty's Jiedu envoy Li Ao's "Gift Medicine Mountain Monk Wei Yan", it is indeed a very immortal poem. ”
After talking about the origin, Na Gongsheng was afraid that Jiajing would think that he only knew one thing and didn't know the other, so he simply chanted in a manlike voice, full of emotion.
"I practiced my body like a crane, and there were two letters under a thousand Panasonics.
I came to ask Wuyu to say, the clouds are in the blue sky, and the water is in the bottle.
Choose a secluded and comfortable wilderness, and there is no sending or welcoming all year round.
Sometimes it goes straight to the top of the lonely peak, and the clouds roar under the moon. ”
After chanting, he humbly lowered his head, waiting for Jiajing's praise, thinking that even if he didn't win the championship, he could at least get a top three.
Yan Shifan secretly sneered in his heart, stupid, everyone here is not all rubbish, who hasn't memorized a few poems? If the question is so simple, he will not be Jiajing.
Sure enough, Jiajing said lightly: "Parrot the tongue, follow the example, find chapters and extract sentences, and increase laughter." ”
The Gongshi's body shook, he almost fell, and the cold sweat soaked through the Gongshi's robe, and he wanted to give himself two big ear scrapers - why are you so positive?
If no one else speaks, can you bear it? Now it's okay, the emperor's comment has to go straight to the last place.
A short silence followed, and the tributes realized the pitfall of the subject - you can't use the original poem to get it right, you have to have your own opinion.
But the problem is that these tributes can write tens of thousands of words of argumentative essays on these two lines of poetry, but it is really a bit powerless to express their opinions in pairs.
The lack of virtue in this topic lies in the fact that he is extracted from a very complete or even perfect poem, if you want to match the poem, can it be better than the original poem?
I'll give you two sentences: "The sun is at the end of the mountain, and the Yellow River flows into the sea." ", can you give me a comparison than "want to be poor, go to the next level." "Is it more?
Even if you are really more awesome about it, people are used to the original poem, and naturally think that the original poem is good, this is not an unfair game at all!
But the heart of the reader's fame is always more than the psychology of risk aversion, and soon a new adventurer jumps out.
"Long live, student Tang Ruji is not talented, willing to take a risk!"
Jiajing looked at Tang Ruji, but he also had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a talent, nodded slightly, and was noncommittal.
"I came to ask Wu Yu to say, the clouds are in the blue sky, and the water is in the bottle. Mo Dao was a scholar with no armor and a million soldiers in his chest. ”
The tributes made a buzzing sound, and many people nodded secretly, this poem is very good.
The first half of the sentence is the way of cultivation, and the second half of the sentence is the family and the country, which has both contrast and pride. On the occasion of this palace test, there is also the meaning of loyalty to the emperor, which can be described as comprehensive.
Jiajing smiled faintly: "Although it is a little interesting, after all, the utilitarianism is too heavy, and it is difficult to match the previous sentence." And the book business is angry, just talking on paper. ”
Tang Ruji hurriedly thanked him, thanked Long Live for his guidance, and said that he was ashamed that he was small, but he had a joy in his heart.
Long live said that I "have some meaning", just rush this sentence, it must be among the top two, and it will not fall directly to the top three like the first unlucky ghost.
With the lessons of the unlucky ghosts and the experience of the survivors, the later tributes are much easier, and they stand up one after another to show their talents.
Because the number of roads is right, it is natural that Jiajing is directly despised like the first unlucky ghost, but everyone comes and goes, Jiajing at most says "something interesting", and does not praise anyone.
Seeing that everyone racked their brains and talked for a long time, the scene gradually cooled down, Yan Shifan sneered in his heart.
Say, why don't you say it? It's pretty much the same, right? It's my turn next!
There was a loud bang in the sky, and Lao Tzu made his debut!
"Long live, student Yan Shifan, would like to be long live this poem!"
Jiajing nodded, he was also waiting for Yan Shifan to come out, he came up with this topic, and he also meant to give himself a step.
If Yan Shifan is indeed talented and no one is convinced, then he will be better off by calling him the champion.
"I came to ask Wu Yu to say, the clouds are in the blue sky, and the water is in the bottle. The three flowers gather and scatter the top of the immortals, and the end of the dust is on the avenue. ”
Jiajing's slightly open eyes slowly opened, looking directly at Yan Shifan, who modestly lowered his head, like other tribute students, and did not look at the emperor's face.
Yan Shifan's poem is not outstanding when taken out, but behind these two sentences, it is meaningful, like a person climbing a tall building, rising step by step.
What's more, along the artistic conception of the previous poem, it is like a whole, and it is natural, which not only expresses Jiajing's indescribable powerlessness of the Tao, but also points out the bright future of Jiajing's Tao.
Most of the other tributes felt that their skills were indeed inferior, and a small half had poetry in their hearts, but they didn't dare to openly steal the limelight from Yan Shifan, so they could only be silent.
Jiajing sighed, raised his hand, and pointed at Yan Shifan, although Yan Shifan lowered his head, he felt it from the sighs of the people around him, and couldn't help but feel ecstasy in his heart.
Lao Tzu is the first talent in the world, Lao Tzu is the champion, who is not convinced? Come out and take two steps!
"I came to ask Wu Yu to say, the clouds are in the blue sky, and the water is in the bottle. In case the Zen pass is broken, the beauty is like a jade sword and a rainbow. ”
Some people died, but not completely......
