Chapter 138: Poetry
Murong Qing really didn't take himself seriously when he heard Long Yun's words.
What makes me win.
As if he couldn't compare to him.
Even if he is as gentleman as jade, he can't help but be a little angry at this time.
Murong Qing was born in a wealthy family.
He is not a child of a family, and if he wants to get ahead, he must either take refuge in a family as a dependent, or he can only pass the imperial examination.
Since childhood, there have been four books and five classics, and all poems and songs have been refined.
In order to prevent him from being too proud, the Murong family has been suppressing his talent.
It's really the family that is very wary of some prodigies and the like.
Therefore, the Murong family directly let Murong Qing almost become an adult, and only then began to participate in the imperial examination.
He himself was also directly sharp as soon as he debuted, and won Xie Yuan and Huiyuan in one fell swoop.
If he participated in the imperial examination back then, it was estimated that he would be the champion, because his teacher was the chief examiner of the year, and he was willing to make a name for him.
It's a pity that the heavens also seem to be jealous of his talent.
That year, his father died unexpectedly.
According to the custom, filial piety must be observed for three years, and you are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination.
Unexpectedly, three years later, when he was about to catch the exam, his mother passed away again.
I didn't expect it to be another three years.
This time there was a delay.
When his father was still there, he was already famous in Yanjing, and the name of the first genius was soaring.
Unexpectedly, the bad news came, resulting in him now only having a fame.
In this imperial examination, he was full of confidence, but unfortunately, his teacher had passed away.
Although there are still some connections, they are no longer what they used to be.
Participating in poetry meetings is to expand and consolidate one's reputation.
Even if he didn't want to come, the people who participated this time were all powerful and powerful, especially the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette, which were all issues he had to consider.
What Yan Guo's officialdom is like, he already knows a little from his teacher.
Except for the top three, almost all of them must rely on the family to be able to obtain an official position.
Because the top three are the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven, that is to say, the top three are designated by the Li family to be accepted.
This is also a tacit understanding reached between the family and the emperor.
Let's divide the talent together.
Murong Qing received the most serious education.
For people like Long Yun who are a little unruly, they are naturally not welcome.
However, his cultivation is relatively good, even if he hates rude people like Long Yun.
He won't show it either.
Knowing that someone will definitely embarrass him today, the first genius has been sitting for so many years, and some people must not be pleasing to the eye.
He didn't think about bothering with Long Yun, but what Long Yun said was too annoying.
In terms of talent, he is not afraid.
So he stood up and said: "This brother, since Her Royal Highness the princess has spoken, we naturally want to give face, besides, there is no first in literature, no second in martial arts, although poetry is a small way, it can express people's hearts."
Brother Taimo is not deceiving the world and stealing his name? β
When Long Yun first saw Murong Qing, he spoke unhurriedly, but at this time, he was a little aggressive.
Even so, the tone in which this person spoke was really infuriating.
Long Yun said: "Brother Murong, why is this like this, this brother I don't know, just put me up to compete with you, I didn't want to, why are you so persecuted?" β
He pointed at Zhang Xinian.
Then he said: "Since you all want to see what I am capable of, then I will compare with you, it's not that I'm ashamed, if I really write poetry, no one will dare to speak today, and won't it be even more embarrassing if the poetry will not be able to do it at that time?" β
When Zhang Xinian heard Long Yun's words, he jumped out directly: "Yo yo yo, such an arrogant person, do you really think that you are a god of poetry?" Hahaha. β
"Haha"
"Haha"
"Giggles"
"Giggles"
Both men and women laughed, and the person in front of him, who looked so pleasing to the eye, could say such childish words.
Murong Qing can sit firmly in the name of the number one talent, for so many years, there are many people who can't compare to themselves.
He didn't dare to say that he could overwhelm everyone's poetry.
He said: "Hehe, if Brother Tai can make an overwhelming masterpiece, it will definitely be passed down through the ages, and this poetry meeting can be regarded as going down in history, even if it ends here, there will be no regrets." β
The implication of his words is also very simple, only the poems that have been passed down through the ages can be convincing to everyone, and they must not compose poems in their mouths.
You have to know that poetry is a very subjective thing.
Murong Qing also set up a small step for his scheming, that is, if Long Yun wants to suppress everyone's mouth, he must come up with a poem that will go down in history.
Later, if he really made a good poem, but it didn't reach the level of a classic, he would have room to turn around.
He was so scheming, and when he said it, everyone didn't notice his careful thoughts.
This is the art of speaking.
Different people sound different.
Murong Qing at least in front of everyone, he maintains the image of a talented man.
Long Yun saw that everyone wanted to see themselves compete, so he simply responded to the battle.
He himself is a traverser, and he can be a poet, but he just uses it.
It's shameless, it's helpless, and of course it's cool.
"Hey, life is in the world, if it is not satisfactory, nine times out of ten, I will be cheeky." Long Yun looked ashamed.
Everyone thought that this vulgar man was ashamed because he realized his mistake.
Only Long Yun knew that he was repenting to the great figures of the previous life because he was about to steal their intellectual property.
Zhang Xinian said to Zuo Yinzhong, who was in charge: "Lord Zuo, please ask for trouble, let us also see the masterpieces of the two talents together." β
Zuo Yinzhong did not ask the question immediately, but asked Her Royal Highness the princess for instructions.
said: "The three questions this time are intended to be discussed, so as not to hurt the harmony."
The first question is to ask Her Royal Highness the princess to compose a poem.
Consider it slowly, for half an hour. β
It's a bold question.
The princess is the body of a daughter, and she actually uses the princess as the object of poetry, which is very exquisite.
Her Royal Highness is a widow, and although she has been widowed, her reputation is not good.
Many people of the younger generation want to be her guests.
Murong Qing is naturally no exception, but although this tenth princess has a bad reputation, not everyone is qualified to see it.
Basically, she can see it, and she currently holds important positions in the imperial court.
When she was young, she was still the first beauty in Yan Kingdom, but her reputation was real.
Now in her thirties, she rarely appears in front of people, but she is still dazzling, which makes many people who have seen her unforgettable.
Murong Qing had a manuscript before.
After pretending for a while, he began to compose poems:
Ladies are like glamorous flowers,
Famous in Shikoku.
Born beautiful and fragrant,
Heavenly jealousy and bad luck.
It is indeed a good poem, the first three sentences are written about the beauty of the princess, and the latter sentence has a regretful meaning.
It's also a masterpiece.
This poetry meeting has such a poem, which is already considered complete.
What is Long Yun doing at this time, he is still eating and drinking, he has heard that Liu Qushan mentioned this princess before.
is a beautiful strange woman.
Writing poems, everyone thought it was meditating, there is a person like Long Yun, still the same as before, this cake to take a bite, this fruit to eat one?
Half an hour later, Zhang Xinian jumped out: "Haha, Zhang Piaoling, you can't make poems, half an hour has passed, are you admitting defeat?" I'll just say, what can you compare with Murong Gongzi. After all, it is not a hall of elegance. β
Long Yun couldn't see his appearance jumping up and down.
So he spoke: "
There is a beautiful woman in the north,
Peerless and independent.
A look at the city,
Then look at the country.
Would you rather not know about people and countries?
Beautiful women are hard to come by. β
As soon as Long Yun's voice fell, the venue was silent.
Murong Qing is certainly well written, but Zhang Piaoling's little poem is a kind of poetry, which is more inclined to songs, and the so-called poems should actually be catchy to read.
But the original poem was actually written for the purpose of singing.
What Long Yun does is biased towards songs, and there are no such strict format requirements.
I have to say that this poem is countless times better than Murong Qing's, and it can be said to have been passed down through the ages.
In particular, 'peerless and independent', which sets off the beautiful appearance of the princess, and the later alluring cities and countries are all a kind of emphasis and assistance.
To describe a woman like this can be said to be absolute.
