Xu Xian said proudly: "If you talk about cultivation, although the emperor is a thousand times higher than me, he is a person in the same way, and he has heard the Tao in a precedent. Falsely call a 'Taoist friend'. If you write ink, the emperor is also a thousand times higher than me, and there is only a specialization in the art industry. Gao Pan said 'Wenyou'. He did not dare to bow down. ”

There is a Tao that is "the god of wisdom and integrity". Xu Xian believes that since Emperor Wenchang dares to be worshiped by the people of the world, he should be a gentleman, and he must follow the way of a gentleman to a gentleman.

Wen Chen praised: "There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry, which is a good point." He glanced at the general, and showed a little appreciation, in the face of the heavenly court, he could still maintain this demeanor, this Xu Xian was really a little bit exhausted.

This is from Han Yu's "Shi Shuo", which can be regarded as a famous saying, but of course there is no one in this world. It's not that Xu Xian's style is really good enough to be fearless in the face of the gods of the heavenly court, if he was born in this world and received education in ancient thoughts, of course, he maintains a deep awe for the gods and the emperor, even if his cultivation is high.

But these two things, one of which was overthrown in later generations, and the other was attributed to superstition, and everyone had to step on two feet when they were proposed. Xu Xian was cultivated in that environment, whether it was facing the Dragon King Ao Gan or Emperor Wenchang, there would be the so-called "wind bones". This even Bai Suzhen has to admire.

Xiao Qing saw that he blocked himself behind him without hesitation, and the anger in his heart dissipated, and all turned into worry, but he refused to abandon him like this, and only watched him reason with those people below. Although I didn't quite understand what he was talking about, I also saw him talking eloquently in front of the heavenly court, and I felt that he was better than myself.

Emperor Wenchang's eyes moved, and he said, "You are Xu Xian?"

Xu Xian said: "Exactly." ”

Emperor Wenchang stroked his beard and said, "I don't know why I injured the heavenly soldiers and generals and trespassed on the scientific field?" This should have been a question, but he said it slowly, without any sense of sternness, but seemed interested.

Xu Xian felt that Emperor Wenchang was not hostile to him, and explained: "Emperor Rongyu, this is a sister, the surname is a little anxious, and she has cultivated some spells, so she doesn't know the severity of the trespass." But it probably didn't hurt. "Although Xiaoqing has a bad temper, his shot is serious, and he should just subdue the heavenly soldiers and generals. turned back to Xiaoqing and said, "Xiaoqing, come and apologize." ”

Xiaoqing also knew that he was at fault first, so he obediently came up and apologized.

Wen Chen, who was beside Emperor Wenchang, said: "Is it over to apologize, where is the law of the Heavenly Court?"

Xiao Qing glared, and was about to have a seizure, but Xu Xian pulled his sleeves and obediently retreated behind him.

Xu Xian looked at Emperor Wenchang, what the "secretary" said was useless, and he wanted to see what the "leader" said? But he heard Emperor Wenchang smile and said: "You can't stop there, your literary name is spread all over the world, I don't know what article you have done in this autumn?"

Emperor Wenchang looked at it, but frowned: "There is a way to be famous, there is no vanity, this article is stable, just barely qualified, but it can't be called a good article." He also passed it to the people around him to watch, and even the military general looked at it, showing a look of disdain.

Xu Xian was also very helpless, being able to follow this great god in charge of Wenyun was naturally a lot of ink in his stomach, but he couldn't compare. It's good that he can have this level of his own. But he couldn't admit it, and said: "The Jingyi article, pay attention to the beginning and the end, is too rigorous, and the talent that is already bound by it is not what it is good at." Writing poems and essays is about being straightforward and easy to come by, does the emperor think it?"

Emperor Wenchang stroked his long beard and said: "There is some truth in what you said, I will do a question, use the poetry you are best at, if it satisfies me, I will atone for the sin of this green snake." Wen Chen beside him immediately said: "The emperor came up with the question, and he is willing to compete with Xu Xian." ”

Emperor Wenchang bowed slightly, and the military general smiled and said to Xu Xian: "Do you know who he is?" and then said a name, Xu Xian has also heard it, it is the name of a great writer in the previous dynasty, and the reputation of "poet", I didn't expect him to go to heaven after his death to become a civil official next to Emperor Wenchang, which can be regarded as another form of becoming a god.

Xu Xian said: "In poetry, I am confident that I am not inferior to anyone." "I sweated in my heart, there is no problem with the question, as long as it does not exceed the scope of "Three Hundred Tang Poems", we can do whatever you want.

Emperor Wenchang said: "Okay, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I will take this bright moon as the theme and make a poem." "This question is very easy, but it is also extremely difficult, easy to do in anyone who knows how to write and ink, the difficult is because this Mid-Autumn Festival and bright moon poem has been done many times, it is extremely difficult to do well, and it is extremely difficult to make new ideas.

Xu Xian breathed a sigh of relief and secretly praised, "The leadership level is high, and this level is over." "Look at Na Wenchen again, and say in your heart, now you are dead, and you want to play with me as a leader.

Na Wenchen stretched his sleeves very generously, and asked Xu Xian to invite first, with a confident smile on his face.

Xu Xian said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." He pretended to turn around twice, and then said, "The moonlight in front of the bed." ”

This sentence can not even be understood by Wen Mo Xiaoqing, and he can't help but be a little worried, can he win in this way? Seeing that Xu Xian was full of confidence, he couldn't help but be full of confidence. Everyone around the emperor showed a look of disdain, and even the little immortal official pouted, indicating that his level was completely above this.

Only Emperor Wenchang and the two ministers of Wenwu looked at Xu Xian and waited below. But he heard Xu Xian say: "It is suspected that it is frost on the ground." ”

The military general's eyes were disdainful, and the Wenchen finally showed a look of disappointment, he originally had some expectations for Xu Xian's Mingyue poems, as a literati and ink writer, this expectation was greater than the persistence of victory and defeat. But these two lines of poetry are so ordinary and prosaic that they are like drinking a large glass of boiled water.

Xu Xian smiled slightly: "Raise your head to look at the bright moon, bow your head and think of your hometown." "It is a poem by Li Taibai's "Silent Night Thoughts", and the first poem that a large number of Chinese can memorize is this one.

Emperor Wenchang's face moved, and he couldn't help but smile with great appreciation. Wen Chen read this poem again, his face changed from disappointment to surprise, from surprise to not incredible admiration, this poem is taken apart, every sentence seems extremely ordinary, but together it is a wonderful poem. It's as if it's a peerless beauty with ordinary facial features.

Although this "Silent Night Thoughts" is not necessarily the highest level of Li Bai's poems, it is definitely the most widely disseminated, and there is neither peculiar and novel imagination nor exquisite and gorgeous rhetoric in the poem; it only uses the tone of narration to write about the homesickness of distant guests, but it is meaningful, intriguing, and has been used for thousands of years. Whether it is an old man or a vertical man, he can chant when he opens his mouth.

Li Taibai's quatrain is made from his mouth, the so-called people who have no intention of working but have no intention of working. This song "Silent Night Thoughts" is simple to the extreme, but it is also far away. It perfectly reflects the highest and highest level that Tang poetry can reach. Through the ages, it is difficult to count poets, and there is only Li Taibai. This "writer" is also an elite figure of an era, and he has not been a scribe for a hundred years, but compared with Li Bai, it is still a bit far away.

Na Wenchen walked around the same place a few times, sweating profusely just thinking about it, and he couldn't make a poem that could be compared with this "Silent Night Thoughts". In history, although there are no "bright moon poems" that can reach this height, it requires the accumulation of the poet's life and excellent opportunities. Quatrains through the ages, which one was made when competing with others.

Na Wenchen was speechless, and arched his hand and said: "Daoyou is a great talent, and he will be famous for eternity, and my generation is not as good as it." ”

Xu Xian said: "The article is natural, the magic hand is occasional, and the emphasis is on the love, not in the competition." After I finish this exam, I will be able to return to my hometown of Qiantang. The exam paper that I just finished, looking at the moonlight like water, the good night is lonely, and I occasionally got this good sentence, just at this moment to answer the emperor's question, if not, I may not be able to win in the next. ”

That Wenchen's face suddenly improved a lot, and he felt that this was the case. Secretly sighing that Xu Xian's style is natural, and he has no arrogance, which is really rare. A large group of people who came to Xingshi to ask about the guilt felt a lot more pleasing to the eye when they looked at Xu Xian.

Xu Xian really has no arrogance, because this poem was not made by him at all, he obviously plagiarized other people's verses, and he can also show the style of "Lao Tzu's literary style is the best in the world, the first in the world", Xu Xian is not shameless to that extent. Whether he is good or humble or humble, of course, he has his own reasons. But it's more about these many factors that give people the illusion.

Emperor Wenchang said with a smile: "If you can get this poem, it will not be a good night." You said to Xiao Qing behind Xu Xian: "Green Snake, you shouldn't trespass on the Gongyuan and disturb Qiuyu." But I didn't hurt anyone, so I spared you this time. He taught a few words slowly.

Xiaoqing was also very well-behaved at this time, obediently admitted that she was not, and thanked Emperor Wenchang.

Emperor Wenchang said to Xu Xian again: "Xu Xian, although your scriptures are far inferior to poetry, you are also qualified, and you deserve to be a lifter, but if you want to go further, Chunqiu High School, you have to hang the beam and stab the stock." Then Governor Chen has the heart to let you fall off the list, I might as well help you again. ”

Xu Xian shook his head and said: "Xu Xian thank you Emperor Jun for being in danger of being at the hands of a villain." Sigh secretly: After all, I think people too well, although Governor Chen didn't hurt himself, he still wanted to fall off the list. However, this great god is too interesting to himself, not like he is here to trouble himself, but like he is here to help himself.

Emperor Wenchang, Emperor Wenchang. Xu Xian suddenly remembered that Emperor Wenchang was not the legendary Wenqu Xing? In the original plot, the "Wenqu Xingjun" who was reincarnated as Xu Xian's son, and finally won the "Xu Shilin" who was the champion.

He only cared about exonerating Xiaoqing, and he forgot about it for a while, and then he remembered it, and couldn't help but say: No wonder you are so good to me, it turns out that "you are my son." ”
