Chapter 36: Surrender

The location of the Luming Banquet is not in the city of Hangzhou, but in the southern suburbs of the city's 'Quanlin Villa', where there are mountains and rivers, and a bamboo forest that covers a large area, the scenery is very beautiful, and the architecture is also very exquisite.

The gathering of literati needs to be leisurely, the poetry is right, and the environment is very important, and this kind of mountain village is very suitable.

However, recently, the Jade Emperor Mountain outside the southern suburbs has made people eat monsters, and people are panicking, so for this banquet, the prefect Yang Jianxing also paid special attention to it, and specially sent many officers and soldiers to stand guard in case anything happened.

But in fact, Yang Jianxing did this just to pretend to reassure the talented people who participated in the banquet.

The Luming banquet is presided over by Xu Zhengqing every time, and he will also go to Quanlin Villa during the banquet.

Xu Zhengqing is the 'doctor' of the dynasty, he has already entered the Tao with literature, and he can trigger the tone of literature at any time, if there is a monster who does not have long eyes and dares to make trouble in front of him, there is only one ending, that is, he will be suppressed!

The next day, when Xu Xian went out of the city and rushed to Quanlin Villa, there were already many people in the villa.

There were many people who participated in the banquet, in addition to the top ten in this government examination, there were also several gentlemen from Hangzhou Prefecture, and some well-known literati talents.

In addition, there are some special people, such as Xu Mu'e, the daughter of Xu Zhengqing, who also came. She has always been fond of poetry, and this kind of banquet is not to be missed. Even if she can't appear on the main seat, she is willing to hide aside secretly and pretend to be a maid.

The banquet began quickly.

Since it is a deer banquet held for the children of this government examination, the theme is naturally related to the government examination.

It shows that many of the questions in the government exam will be taken out, and several gentlemen will explain them one by one.

Being able to teach in the house, these gentlemen have all been promoted, and it is not easy for ordinary people to invite them, which is a rare opportunity to increase their knowledge.

Regarding the analysis of the scriptures and the ideas for answering the questions, the children present, and even the talents, listened very carefully. There is no end to learning, seize every opportunity for progress, and learn from teachers and friends, so that you can go further on the road of the imperial examination.

It took more than an hour to explain and comment, and the ten new children had a great harvest. After listening to the gentlemen's explanation, if they were asked to do the government examination paper again, they would definitely do better.

However, Xu Xian and Fang Zhongyong are exceptions.

With the level of the two of them, in fact, they have already surpassed the government test children, and they can do all this to the fullest, and it is useless to listen to them.

But then, the comments about the house test papers are related to them.

Especially Xu Xian, as the head of the case, he is a well-deserved focus.

As the saying goes, there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts.

It means that most of the literati are modest, and their respective articles have their own merits, and it is difficult to distinguish who is the first place; martial artists like to be brave and ruthless, and in martial arts competitions, there must be someone standing and someone falling, and distinguishing between high and low.

But in fact, the struggle between literati is no less than that of martial artists, but it is not so obvious.

Most of the children who can become the top ten in the government examination are the most outstanding talents in the county, and they are arrogant in their hearts, and they are naturally a little unconvinced by Xu Xian, who can beat themselves to get the first place, and wants to see what kind of exam papers Xu Xian answered.

Even if it was Fang Zhongyong, he knew that there was nothing wrong with the result of the case, and Xu Xian's answer was definitely better than his own, but he also wanted to see and understand, so that he could be convinced.

Seeing everyone's curious eyes, Xu Zhengqing smiled, deliberately sold a pass, put Xu Xian's test paper at the end, and first commented on the dazzling works of other new children in the government exam.

I have to say that the quality of the children in the Hangzhou government examination is on the high side, not to mention that even a prodigy like Fang Zhongyong can only be ranked second, and the other eight children present are actually not simple, and their test papers are all remarkable, and there are excellent works in strategy and poetry. After many articles were read out, the lifters and showmen present couldn't help but nod their heads and praise!

If these people participate in the government examination in previous years, I am afraid that they will have the strength to compete for the position of the head of the case.

But this time, I can only be a green leaf foil.

As for Fang Zhongyong's test papers, needless to say, as soon as he came out, the arrogance in the hearts of the other eight children suddenly disappeared, and there was only admiration.

Amazing!

Perfect!

Can't find any faults!

Even the many famous talents present, Mr. Lao Juren, glanced at Fang Zhongyong in surprise.

is worthy of being a prodigy who became famous in Hangzhou when he was five years old, and now at a young age, he can have such attainments. Fang Zhongyong's theory and poetry, even if they end up, I'm afraid they won't be able to make such an excellent article!

"No wonder it will be accepted as a disciple by Lord Xuezheng Xu himself, this talent is rare in the world, even if it is not the champion talent in the future, it is indispensable to enter the Shi and the first!"

Many people were secretly amazed after reading Fang Zhongyong's test papers.

It was only when they regained their composure a little that they were shocked by another thought.

Fang Zhongyong's test paper is already so flawless, it can be called a flower cluster! And on the day of the government exam, Fang Zhongyong did indeed achieve the article to attract the literary tone, forming a wonderful vision of writing flowers!

But why, the head of the case is not Fang Zhongyong.

Everyone's eyes looked at Xu Xian at the same time, the person who had the ability to overwhelm Fang Zhongyong and get the head of the case.

"Well, I understand what's going on in people's minds. Now, let Mr. Wang read the article of Xu Case Head to everyone! Read the poem first, you should also be most looking forward to Xu Case Head having already made a quatrain like 'If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup and heavy makeup are always appropriate' before the government examination, what else can you do during the government examination. Xu Zhengqing said with a smile.

Indeed, when the results of the government examination had not yet come out, everyone was talking about it, saying that Xu Xian had suffered too much, and he had made a quatrain in advance. If you leave it for the house test, this poem will definitely add a lot of points as soon as it comes out!

However, no one expected that Xu Xian was still the head of the case.

During the government examination, did he make another poem that was no less than his predecessor?

Now that the mystery is about to be revealed, many people are listening to it.

For example, Xu Mu'e, who secretly sneaked into the banquet, looked radiant and quite happy.

Xu Zhengqing is an official for a very good reason, as the daughter of Xuezheng, she couldn't see the answer sheet of the government exam before this, she has been waiting for this day for a long time.

Hearing this, an old gentleman with gray hair stood up, and Zhongzheng said calmly: "This new work by the head of the Xu case is called "Spring Trip to Qiantang Lake". With that, he paused for a moment, and then began to read in a low voice:

Gushan Temple is in the west of Jia Ting, and the water surface is low at the beginning of the clouds.

Several early warblers compete for warm trees, and whose new swallows peck the spring mud.

The flowers are gradually charming to the eye, and the asakusa can have no horseshoe.

The favorite lake is not enough to go east, and the white sand embankment in the green poplar shade.

After reading the poem, the whole banquet was silent, and they were immersed in the poem.

Good poetry is like wine, it can be intoxicating.

Xu Xian's "Spring Trip to Qiantang Lake" conquered everyone, and all doubts were gone. This will be another work that will be sung all over the world, it is no longer something that ordinary people can make, but more talent!

Just when everyone was like three white drunken, Xu Xuezheng stood up, and he wanted to personally recite this "Five Kingdoms" for Xu Xian!

"The destruction of the Five Kingdoms, the non-soldiers are disadvantaged, the war is not good, and the disadvantage is to bribe Qin. Bribing Qin and losing strength is also the way to ruin. ”

Although Xu Xuezheng is a literati, his voice is sonorous and powerful, full of momentum, and full of worries and exhortations to the court as an official of the imperial court.

The views expressed in this five-nation theory made him deeply convinced, so he was particularly engaged in reading it.

"Thinking of the first grandfather, the frost and dew, cut the thorns, to have a size of the land. The children and grandchildren do not pity it, and give it to others, like abandoning grass mustard. Cut five cities today, cut ten cities tomorrow, and then sleep peacefully. Looking at the four realms, and the Qin soldiers are at the top. ”

Thinking back to their ancestors and fathers in the five countries, they braved frost and dew and overcame thorns and thorns, so they had a little bit of land. However, the children and grandchildren do not cherish it very much, and give it away like a small grass.

Five cities are cut off today, ten cities are cut off tomorrow, and then you can sleep soundly all night. When I got up and looked at the surrounding border, the army of Qin came again.

The same is true of the Dali Dynasty, it is not easy to open the country, but now in order to ensure the stability of the dynasty, you can make a compromise and cede the land, which is really sad.

Xu Zhengqing's tone was full of grief and indignation.

"With the greatness of the world, the story of the destruction of the five countries is under the five countries!"

After reading a strategy, the banquet was not only quiet, but everyone was even darker and more solemn.

They are still young people who are bent on reading only sages and sages, full of revenge, and only thinking about how to serve the court after high school. Maybe in the future, they will bow to reality, and there will be some corrupt officials and traitors, but at least now they are all enthusiastic.

Xu Xian's works take into account issues that they have never considered, and stand far above their perspective. Compared to Xu Xian, he is like a toddler!

Even a woman like Xu Mu'e, who likes wind and snow and loves poetry, was also impressed by this "Five Kingdoms".

The first to open his mouth to break the silence was the prodigy Fang Zhongyong.

He stood up suddenly, walked to Xu Xian's seat, his little face was full of seriousness, and then he bent down and bowed his hand, he was always arrogant and high-spirited, and said sincerely: "Brother Xu is talented, worried about the country and the people, I am convinced! From then on, Brother Xu is my role model!"

The other eight children also stood up one after another and said loudly, "Brother Xu is an example for us to learn!"

After this Luming Banquet, Xu Xian's fame will inevitably be shocked!
