Chapter 56: Mid-Autumn Festival (2)

Everyone sat down again, and Qiu Wen first complimented: "I heard that Brother Guan's piano skills have reached the point of being superb, and last night's performance actually caused a group of fish to jump, but unfortunately I didn't see it." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Cheng Dawei also said: "Yes, today I heard Mr. Shi talk about Brother Guan's two major piano songs "Autumn Moon on the Peaceful Lake" and "Fishing Boat Singing Night", but I hate that I didn't hear it yesterday." ”

"Mr. Shi Qingyunshi?" Guan Yang asked.

"Exactly, we are all students of Guozijian, and this Brother Cheng is a disciple of Mr. Shi. Zhang Likun explained.

"I see. ”

"I'm ashamed, although I am also a disciple of Mr., I am not a martial artist, and my reputation is far inferior to that of Senior Brother Liu, so I am really ashamed of Mr.'s teaching. Cheng Dawei said with a look of shame, it could be seen that he was really ashamed, not pretentious.

"Brother Cheng should not be modest, if Brother Cheng is also considered to be unsuccessful, then wouldn't we be ashamed to hit the wall and die. Qi Wei said.

"What Brother Qi said is reasonable, who can participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Meeting, which one is not a great talent?" Guan Yang also said.

"Okay, let's stop complimenting each other. Cheng Dawei said.

A few people laughed and didn't mention this time anymore.

Guan Yang asked: "By the way, this is the first time to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't know what the rules of this meeting are?"

Cheng Dawei said: "There is no specific charter, it is similar to the general literary meeting, that is, couplets, poems and lyrics, etc. However, the winner can be given wine by the emperor, and there will be some talented people who will be selected by the emperor and become officials directly, which is probably different from ordinary Wenhui. ”

Qi Wei also said: "I heard that five years ago, there was a talented man who was selected by the former emperor and gave him the official position of lieutenant of Zhongnan County, and since then he has soared to the sky, and now he has done the history of state assassination." After saying that, there was a look of envy.

Zhang Likun said: "Although there are not many such things, but there are also a lot, every year someone is photographed, but that person's official luck is better." ”

Qi Wei said: "Don't talk, everyone, the literary meeting is about to start." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the painting boat in the Yuhua Pond instantly became brightly lit, and a group of people appeared on the painting boat, and the one who was surrounded by everyone in the middle was the noble son on the shore of Shengxian Lake yesterday.

"See the emperor!" At this time, both the participants of the literary meeting and the people around them bowed to the painting boat. Emperor Liu Chan of the Holy Martial Emperor abolished the kneeling ceremony, and it is generally not necessary to kneel unless there is a sacrifice or other special reasons.

"Excuse me. A clear voice reached everyone's ears.

"Your Majesty, Emperor. Everyone thanked each other and sat down again.

"I announce that the Mid-Autumn Festival has officially begun. A eunuch stood on the painting boat and announced the beginning of the literary meeting: "I invite the judges of this literary meeting - the three emperors." ”

The three old men walked out from behind, and it turned out to be Shi Qingyun, Du Yue and Mi Shengzhi.

Guan Yang lowered his voice and said, "Brother Cheng, it turns out that Mr. Shi, Mr. Du and Mr. Mi are the emperors?"

Cheng Dawei also said in a low voice: "Yes, the three gentlemen are all veterans of the Three Dynasties, the old ministers who have followed Grandpa Gao to fight the country, and the former emperor and the current saint are their students." ”

"I see. Guan Yang nodded in understanding.

"Round 1: Couplets. Please ask the emperor to ask the question. The eunuch said again.

Zhao Lilang said: "Today is the night of the full moon, and I will use the full moon as the theme to come up with a couplet: the moon is full in the sky, the moon is half a month on earth, and the moon is full and half a month." ”

"Poof!" Guan Yang squirted out a mouthful of water, Zhao Li, can you be more shameless? This is obviously Jin Shengsi's couplet, even in this world, it is also Liu Chan's couplet (it is recorded in "The Secret History of the Han Palace" that this is a couplet made by Liu Chan during the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet in a certain year).

Not to mention Guan Yang's reaction here, the people present were really stumped. Everyone pondered and meditated, but they couldn't think of a suitable link.

Zhao Li was secretly proud in his heart, this was something he finally found in the ancient books, only the upper link and no lower link. He also thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't say that it coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he simply took it out to embarrass the world's scholars and let them know that there is a sky outside the sky. But after waiting for a long time, he was unhappy again, could it be that all the scholars in the world are at this level?

"Why? are all stumped? Liu Qingyi, aren't you known as 'Beijing Wenkui'? Zhao Li directly named him.

Liu Qingyi stood up with a bitter face and said, "Your Majesty, the students can't come out." ”

"Xu Shiwen, what about you, you are not proficient in Confucianism and Buddhism, what is your next link?" Zhao Li turned his gaze to another person.

A young man in black stood up, his head almost lowered to the ground: "The emperor forgives the sin, the student hasn't thought about it yet." ”

"You ......"

Zhao Li was angry and was about to scold. A voice sounded: "Today's year, the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the end of every year." ”

Cheng Dawei raised his head and looked at Guan Yang in surprise.

"Who is it?" Shi Qingyun couldn't sit still, and ran to Zhao Li's side and asked down.

"yes, who is it?"

"I don't know. ”

"Brother Lu, is that you?"

"No, I didn't open my mouth at all. ”

"Weird, who the hell is it?"

"The voice seems to be coming from that side. A person pointed in the direction of Guan Yang.

"Hula. A group of people's eyes turned to this direction, and the first thing that everyone noticed was Cheng Dawei.

"It turns out that Brother Cheng is right. ”

"No, it's not me. Cheng Dawei hurriedly denied it.

"Oh, I heard that Brother Qi is good at pairs, it should be Brother Qi, right?"

"No, this joint is too difficult, and I haven't figured it out in the next hour and a half. Zivi shook his head.

"Could it be Brother Zhang or Brother Qiu?"

"No, it's Brother Guan. Qiu Wen pointed out directly.

Only then did everyone see that there was a person sitting in the shadows.

The painting boat also turned its gaze to Guan Yang, and as soon as the three emperors saw Guan Yang, they suddenly realized: "It turned out to be him." In their hearts, the only one who can stand up to this link is Guan Yang. You must know that Mi Shengzhi's evaluation of Guan Yang is not low, saying that he is unparalleled in literary talent, and no one in the world can match him. This evaluation is too high, if it is spread, I am afraid that all young people in the world will regard Guan Yang as an opponent.

"Please come forward to the person who sent the link. Zhao Li's voice sounded.

"Guys, go first. Guan Yang hugged his fists.

"Brother Guan, please. Everyone got out of the way.

Only then did Zhao Li see Guan Yang clearly, and said with a smile: "Divine doctor, it turned out to be you." ”

Guan Yang touched his nose and said: "The divine doctor is just someone else's nickname, and the emperor doesn't want to make fun of it." ”

"Ahem, the couplet is a good match. Zhao Li knew that now was not the time to chat, so he turned the topic around.

Emperor Xie praised him. Guan Yang said indifferently.

"The emperor dictated, the talented son Guan Yang was very happy with the couplet of Shangme, and gave me a glass of wine. The eunuch said to Guan Yang with a glass of wine.

"Your Majesty, Emperor. Guan Yang took the wine glass and drank it all, which was no different from ordinary wine. After returning the wine glass, Guan Yang returned to his original seat and sat down.

At this time, a guard walked up to Zhao Li and whispered something. Anger flashed in Zhao Li's eyes, but he quickly calmed down and said lightly: "Yes." ”

The master of ceremonies and eunuchs stood up again and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. When everyone quieted down, the eunuch said, "Just now the envoy of the northern barbarians said that he also has an upper link, and I would like to ask everyone to help think of a lower link." "Everyone is not surprised, this kind of thing has happened before, foreign countries want to provoke the Central Plains, they often have problems on various occasions to embarrass the Central Plains people.

A foreigner walked up to the painting boat and said to all the talents: "My king has come up with an upper link, but has not been able to get the lower link, I heard that the Central Plains is rich and rich, and there are many talents, so I took advantage of the time when I went to the Central Plains to let me bring the upper link, and I want to ask the talents of the Central Plains to help think of a lower link." His tone was not polite at all, as if it were taken for granted.
