Chapter 366: Tang Poetry and Song Ci

The onlookers were in an uproar, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, who had originally admired Xiao Feng's five-body surrender, was caught off guard, and his jaw was retracted too quickly, almost biting his tongue.

Is this what a dignified governor, a dignified person, and a dignified heavenly master should say?

Even if people are impotent, they can't ask that, right? Besides, what does this have to do with what you're talking about?

Xiao Feng looked at the tall Xiucai with a flushed face and green muscles, but he ignored him, turned around and asked the person.

"Have you ever had a wife?"

The person glanced at Xiao Feng vigilantly, and didn't dare not answer, "I'm marrying a wife next."

"Have you ever taken a concubine?"

He hesitated: "I didn't take a concubine."

Xiao Feng nodded: "Although it's not impotence, it's not that strong."

Everyone was stunned, their faces were red, and they didn't know what to say. Xiao Feng pointed at Zhao Wenhua.

"Lord Zhao is much stronger than you, not only did he marry a wife, but he also accepted a three-room concubine. It can be seen that his ability in the boudoir is not a little stronger than you!"

Zhao Wenhua couldn't tell for a while whether Xiao Feng was scolding himself or praising himself.

Originally, although it was a little embarrassing to say this to his face, any man who was praised for being strong in this aspect was very proud.

But the problem is that for no reason, in public, suddenly boasting about himself, it's really a bit of that.

Gao Xiucai's face turned red, and he protested in a trembling voice: "Although the adults are in a high position, they can not be killed, and the adults must give an explanation to the scholars in the world, why do you insult the students so much!"

Xiao Feng smiled, "How could I have insulted you? Lord Zhao has a wife and two concubines, which naturally shows that he is extremely capable; The lifter has at least one wife, and although his ability is not strong, he is barely enough.

But what about you? At your age, without a wife or concubine, doesn't that mean that you are not capable in that regard? How could this be?"

The tall talent trembled with anger: "This, this is simply unreasonable! Can you judge whether a man is good or not based on the number of wives and concubines?

There are many reasons for not marrying a wife and taking a concubine, such as poor family background, such as being obsessed with studies, such as having a warm and filial piety......

Xiao Feng put away his smile and looked at him coldly: "The number of wives and concubines can't reflect your ability, can the admission ratio reflect the candidate's ability?"

There are many reasons why you don't marry a wife and take a concubine, why do you think that the admission ratio was set at the beginning, and the only reason for admitting scholars from the north was ability?

Do you really not understand, or do you want to set off another bloody storm of scientific research? What are your intentions?"

Although Xiao Feng's words were ridiculous, the truth was self-evident: the proportion of scientific research itself was a by-product of that incident, and it could not be said to be a reasonable rule, let alone an eternal rule.

The tall Xiucai was exhausted, shaking his head and muttering, "Insulting Sven, insulting Sven." But I can't say anything more practical.

The short showman, who had not said a word, gave a salute, and the audience was stunned with one mouth: this short man who was not good-looking had an incomparably loud voice, which made people forget to listen to it.

"What the adults said is not unreasonable, but since the adults think that the proportion of scientific examinations is not because the southern scholars are stronger than the northern scholars.

The fairest way is to cancel the proportion of scientific examinations, and everyone will take the examination based on their real skills, which is fair!"

This sentence resonated with the audience, who knew that even today, the scientific research ability of the southern scholars must be stronger than that of the northern scholars.

Xiao Feng also knows this, Cang Liao knows etiquette in a down-to-earth manner, which is an eternal truth. Although the capital of the Ming Dynasty was in the north, the great pattern of wealth in the south and poverty in the north has always existed.

If there is not enough to eat, the proportion of scholars will naturally be small, and there will be frequent wars, so it is unfair to demand fairness between the north and the south of the imperial examination in this case.

But saying this on such an occasion will not only be useless, but will also arouse the antagonistic emotions between the North and the South even more deeply.

If that kind of situation really occurs, Zhao Wenhua is afraid that he will suddenly sit up in the middle of the night.

Laugh three times before going back to sleep.

So Xiao Feng could only reason with these Jiangnan scholars in a different way, in a way that was the favorite of readers.

Xiao Feng looked at the short Xiucai, and suddenly asked, "What level are the three of you among the Jiangnan scholars, and are you worthy of speaking for the Jiangnan scholars?" Or do you need to find a few people who have won the jinshi?"

This is the most poking the words of the reader's lungs, since ancient times, there is no first, even if he is a poor talent who has not been promoted in his life, he will never admit that his level is not good, it must be that the examiner is blind.

The three of them immediately stood up straight, and the man said proudly, "Although the three of us are late in school, we also have a small reputation in Nanjing.

Although the fate is not good, he has not yet entered the department, but he can ask himself about his knowledge, otherwise he will not be pushed by everyone to meet the adults!

The work of the three of us has been circulated in Jiangnan. This Brother Ai, who is good at lyrics and songs, is Jinling Qin Huaike, a well-known figure in the world, which flower boat does not sing his masterpieces?"

Lifting people and pointing at the short Xiucai, it turned out that this was Brother Ai, the short Xiucai waved his hand modestly, but his face was unyielding.

"Students like music cards and rhythms, and they always write words and songs together.

Therefore, the girls on the Qinhuai River prefer to sing, but it is just for convenience, not better than others.

I heard that the song "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" created by the adults when they rode out of Beijing has become a military song of the Ming army, and the villain also admires it very much."

Juren pointed to the tall Xiucai again: "This senior brother is good at Tang poetry and Song lyrics, a famous teahouse and restaurant in Nanjing, which one does not have his ink treasure on the wall?"

The tall showman gave his hand again and again: "False praise and false praise, that's just that the big talents disdain to compare with the villains, so let the students have the bright moon and occasionally show off."

Xiao Feng nodded: "Then what is this Mr. Zhong good at?"

People were stunned: "I don't have the surname Zhong?"

Xiao Feng sighed: "I saw that the short surname is Ai, and the tall surname is high, so I thought that you should be surnamed Zhong in the middle of the middle that is not tall or short.

I'm still wondering, people say that a good name is good, is it so arbitrary? It's too careless."

Juren endured his anger: "The student's surname is Ju, and he is not particularly good at it, but he is full of poetry and songs, ancient style and songs, and he can do whatever he wants."

Xiao Feng smiled dumbly: "It's sloppy, it turns out that you don't name by the beginning, but by identity......

Since the three self-confessed knowledge levels can represent the Jiangnan scholars, then today's official represents the northern scholars, and the three of them will win or lose.

If the three win, the official will become the court of the book and strive for more opportunities for the imperial examination for the Jiangnan scholars; If the official wins, the dispute between the north and the south will become a matter of dismissal, how about it?"

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and they all became vigilant, and the three of them got together, whispered a few words, and then raised their hands to salute.

"The adults command, don't dare to do it, I don't know how the adults want to compete?"

Xiao Feng smiled indifferently, "It's better than what you are best at. The three of you, each of you competes in one game, and if you win one game, even if Jiangnan Shizi wins, I wonder if there is anyone in the hall who opposes it?"

In fact, there were indeed some people in the hall who wanted to oppose it, because they felt that Xiao Feng was famous, and he was a modern science explorer, and he thought that he had some real talents.

Rashly gambling on the game may not be sure of winning, and if you lose, you will lose the face of Jiangnan Shizi. But after Xiao Feng finished talking about the conditions of the game, these people immediately held back their opposition.

It's crazy! It's crazy!

These three are also counted as my Jiangnan celebrities, you use one to three, let the family choose the best to compare with you, and win a game even if you win! Do you really think you're a god?

Zhao Wenhua pretended to be dazzled by the sun, raised his sleeves to cover his face, and trembled with laughter.

Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng, people are crazy, the sky is crazy and rainy, I think you are really crazy today!

The sleeve was suddenly torn off, because it was too sudden, Zhao Wenhua's happy laughter didn't have time to put it away, and it was exposed in front of Xiao Feng's eyes and the eyes of the audience.

"Lord Zhao? What's wrong with you? It's fun to think of something

What's the matter?"

Zhao Wenhua was very embarrassed: "No, no, no, it's the sun that's a little dazzling, so I'll block it." This expression is because, by the way, the sun is dazzling, so isn't it reasonable to squint?"

Xiao Feng looked up, "Lord Zhao, it's cloudy today, where does the sunshine come from?"

Zhao Wenhua rubbed his eyes: "Ah, dazzled, dazzled, please don't care about my eyes, let's start the game quickly!"

Xiao Feng let go of Zhao Wenhua's sleeves and turned to the three of them with a laugh: "Which of you comes first?"

The three discussed it again and decided that the tall Xiucai would take the lead in the competition, and the short Xiucai would be in the second round. It's not that the tall talent has the highest level, but the short talent needs to prepare for the lyrics and songs for a longer time.

The Yuan Dynasty is the closest dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, although the Song Dynasty also has a word brand, but because of the age, people have long forgotten the tune of the word brand.

Therefore, although the Song lyrics are elegant and elegant, later generations can only chant them, and very few can arrange music to sing. On the contrary, it is a yuan song, although it is slightly inferior in terms of literary rhetoric, but because there are ready-made tunes, it is easier to sing.

Therefore, the comparison of Yuan Song is not only compared to the ability to write words, but also to the ability to compose music. The real Yuanqu everyone can not only fill in the existing song brand, but also create new music cards and compose new songs!

They didn't expect Xiao Feng to compete on the spot, so naturally they didn't bring musical instruments.

Dwarf Xiucai immediately asked the scholars he knew to go to the flower boat on the Qinhuai River, find the most professional boat, and ask them to bring musical instruments, and said that Ai Xiucai was going to make a new song, and he gave it to them after he finished it!

Someone in the hall rushed away, Gao Xiucai smiled reservedly, and stepped forward: "My lord, it takes time for Brother Ai's musical instrument to be prepared, so students should ask adults to teach them first!"

Xiao Feng smiled and nodded, "Do you want to make poems, or words?" Do you want to limit the topic?"

Gao Xiucai said: "Since the adults asked whether it was a poem or a word, it is obvious that the adults are confident, so the students should simply make a poem and then a poem, and ask the adults separately."

Well? Everyone in the audience was stunned by Gao Xiucai's shamelessness!

said that one person is better than one game, you are good, hit the snake with the stick, bite Xiao Feng's head, and turn your one into two!

With Xiao Feng's identity at this time, any loss in this poem or lyric, according to the previous words, I am afraid that I will have to admit defeat! That way, three wins become four wins!

Not to mention the chicken thief of the reader, the onlookers were silently impressed, and Zhao Wenhua happily raised his two sleeves and made a double insurance. Even if Xiao Feng pulls one out at once, there is still one in the way.

Xiao Feng's smile remained unchanged, but his eyes when he looked at Gao Xiucai suddenly became extremely sharp, and in a flash, Gao Xiucai saw it in his eyes and trembled, but at this time he was ready to send it.

"Since today's topic is about the imperial examination, students will ask adults for advice on the topic of 'talents!'"

Xiao Feng nodded slightly, he was not really as crazy as Zhao Wenhua thought, but he knew that Chinese culture has a long history, and he has taken advantage of hundreds of years more, even if his literary talent is not enough, there will always be a big man who can stand up.

Gao Xiucai groaned slightly, and actually paced up and down the lobby.

Damn, what is this for, seven steps into a poem? Those who had good deeds in the hall also started to count.

「…… Three, four, five, six, seven!"

"Eight steps, nine steps, ten steps......

The voice ranges from high-pitched excitement to weakness, *** is there a disease, since you can't get out of poetry after walking seven steps, isn't it good to stand honestly? Wandering around what?

At the twentieth step, Gao Xiu suddenly stood still, and everyone also raised their spirits.

"Read three hundred psalms at night,

I don't get Chang'an in this life.

I only hate Jiangnan Spring is always there,

Who believes in the cold under the window for ten years?"

The audience was in an uproar, admiration, and cheers. Xiao Feng also nodded silently. Under the fame, there is indeed talent.

The poem,

The indignation and injustice of Jiangnan scholars are vividly written, the title is deducted, and the twenty steps are made into poems, and the talent is fast enough.

I only hate that Jiangnan Spring is always there, who believes that it is cold under the window for ten years. It seems that he also knows what the imperial court thinks.

My study environment is good, but it doesn't mean that I don't work hard, I don't have to work, why can't I fight a fair battle with the northern scholars?

Xiao Feng can only smile bitterly, this matter is incomprehensible, not to mention that it can't be solved today, and it can't be solved in many years, only hard work.

"Your Excellency, please advise!"

Xiao Feng took a deep breath, I may not lose to you if I make a song on the spot, but in today's battle, it doesn't matter if it's fair, I must win.

I must beat the morale of Jiangnan Shizi in order to maintain the balance between the north and the south, and the stability of the Ming Dynasty, I want to be worthy of my senior brother and the world, so I can only be sorry for you.

"Kyushu is angry and thunderous,

It's sad to hear from all the horses.

I advise the Lord of Heaven to shake up,

Eclectic talent reduction."

No one spoke, everyone was stunned. What kind of speed is this, although Xiao Feng is sitting, if he stands up and walks, he will definitely not be able to exceed three steps!

Speed is only secondary, this verse...... It's shocking. Don't you think the imperial examination is unfair to talents? But who stipulates that the imperial examination is the only way out for talents?

Before that, almost no one thought that there were talents outside the imperial examination, except for those who fought hard with their lives, otherwise even the generals would have to go to the martial arts.

I advise the heavenly prince to be vigorous and reduce talents without sticking to one pattern. What does Lord Xiao mean by this?

Could it be that he wanted to fundamentally change the imperial examination system? If that's the case, the battle between the north and the south for the imperial examination really doesn't make any sense!

Readers are silently speculating about Xiao Feng's poems, and ordinary people who have not read books can't think of it so deeply, but intuitively, they can feel that Xiao Feng's poem definitely crushed Gao Xiucai.

"Alas, Gao Xiucai is a little self-conscious, haven't you heard that the two poems hanging in the lobby of the state capitals now were written by Lord Xiao?"

"The lobby of the state capital? Which two sentences?"

"You're blind, look up, this Ying Tianfu lobby is also hanging!"

"If the country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of good and evil? These two sentences were written by Lord Xiao?"

"That's right!"

"That's a bit of a self-defeating comparison with Lord Xiao's Tang poems......

Gao Xiucai's face was flushed, and listening to the discussion in the hall, he also felt that he had taken a stinky move. But he thought about it, he didn't seem to have heard of Xiao Feng's well-known masterpieces in Song Ci, and he still had hope!

"The poems of adults are indeed a cut ahead, and students admit defeat. Next, the students will ask for advice in Song words. This time, well, let's change the subject."

It's not that Gao Xiucai can't continue to write words with the topic of "talent", but he always feels that Xiao Feng can win him, I am afraid that he is always thinking about the question of "talent", and if he writes along this topic, he may not be able to take advantage.

He thought about it and decided to choose a question that Xiao Feng didn't usually think about, yes, he was sure that Xiao Feng would definitely not think about this problem, because it was impossible at all!

"My lord, since ancient times, there have been many words that have been written in remembrance of the deceased, especially the memory of the lover. For example, Su Shi's "Jiang Chengzi" and "Fortune Operator", students should use this as the theme."

Now even the readers in the hall feel that Gao Xiucai is a little shameless. Xiao Feng is young and is said to have just married a wife.

Whether it's the wife, or the one who slams the door upside down, or the one who reaches out and likes from time to time in the back hall, thinking that others can't see it, including the messy women in the house, are still alive and well.

Do you let such a proud man write words of mourning for his lover?

Why don't you write a tribute to your father? Isn't it because your parents are alive and well, and you can't write that emotion! Look at the book

Everyone thought that Xiao Feng would refuse this extremely unfair competition, and even Zhao Wenhua felt that Xiao Feng would not be able to agree. Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng just smiled faintly.

"Feel free, I said let you write the question, write."

There is a lot of sadness and melancholy hidden in that smile that others can't see, if Qi Jiguang is by his side at this time, he will definitely jump up.

"That Chinese New Year's Eve night he had this expression!"
