Chapter 2: From the East

Lin'an Academy is the largest academy in Aolai Country, modeled after Chang'an Academy, with a wide range of subjects. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info invited many scholars from the Tang Empire to come here to serve as masters, and the sacrificial wine of the academy is from the Jinshi of the Tang Empire!

Lin'an Academy has become a holy place in the country of Aolai, and any important activities and celebrations in the country are held in Lin'an Academy. The ten-year examination of the major families of Aolai Country is naturally held here.

The 10-year examination of Aolai Country includes all major families in Aolai Country. Although the country of Aolai is a barbarian land to the Tang Empire, there are twenty or thirty families participating in this ten-year test.

The Tianzi Auditorium of Lin'an Academy can accommodate 10,000 people. Representatives of the major families all sat on their seats, looking at the Confucian scholars in Tsing Yi standing on the podium.

When the bell was ringed, the Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi clenched his fists and said: "In Xia Lin Xuan, I will sacrifice wine for Lin'an Academy." I am also fortunate to be invited by all the masters to serve as the chief examiner of the ten-year examination of the major families. ”

"Lin Festival wine is polite!"

"Yes, yes, it is an honor for me to be the chief examiner of this exam. ”

As soon as Lin Xuan's words fell, the heads of the four major families of Fang, Lian, Qin, and Yu returned the compliments almost at the same time. Although Lin Xuan is the sacrificial wine of Lin'an Academy, he is from the Tang Dynasty, and he is also a Jinshi of the Tang Empire!

In terms of identity, Lin Xuan is no less than the head of the four major families.

"Thank you for your love. Lin Xuan also thanked him again. This time it will be a competition, and it is almost a competition between these four families. Aolai Country is almost the final say of these four major families. Although he is a jinshi of the Tang Empire, if he wants to live in the Aolai country, he will naturally have a good relationship with these dominant-level forces.

Chen Yinxin had a smile on his face, but he looked at their greetings seriously. Although Chen Yinxin has experienced a lot of such occasions, he still looks at it seriously, and he also remembers something seriously.

Although Chen Yinxin didn't like such greetings very much, he was very serious about savoring them.

Because he firmly believes that the insight of the world is knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article.

"Are you tired?" As a close friend, Fang Shaotian naturally knew what Chen Yinxin was thinking, so he leaned over and asked jokingly.

Chen Yinxin smiled and did not speak.

"Everyone!" Lin Xuan raised his voice, and he said with a straight face: "This time there will be two competitions and two martial arts competitions. The Wenbi score accounts for 30% of the total score, and the Wubi score accounts for 70% of the total score. I wonder if you have any objections?"

Although following the example of the Tang Empire's Confucianism in governing the country, the Aolai country also loves to be vassals and elegant, but after all, it is a foreign place, and they have not learned the essence of the Tang Empire's Confucianism in governing the country. Although there are literary competitions and martial arts competitions, the results of literary competitions only account for 30% of the total score of the examination.

This is also the rule of the annual test of Aolai Country, and everyone naturally has no objections.

"As is customary, let's start with the text. ”

"In this literary competition, there is only one question, that is, please write the poems of the representative works on paper. ”

"Families are free to write, and they can finally hand in an answer sheet. ”

"Do you have any objections?"

Lin Xuan said Wenbi's test questions with a smile, but it broke the routine of the previous exams. Although the score of Wenbi is not large, only one person is allowed to participate in the previous year's examination, and only one person can answer the question in a sealed space. And in previous years, there was a decent test paper for the literary comparison, after all, the poetry classics introduced from the Tang Empire were not quoted in vain.

However, there is only one question in this article comparison, and it is a free answer. As long as the major families hand over a test paper, it really breaks the previous convention.

The questioner of the essay competition and the martial arts competition in this meeting is naturally the chief examiner Lin Xuan. Even the heads of the four major families looked at each other for a while, obviously they didn't know the questions of this Wenbi's exam.

"Since ancient times, there is no first place in literature, and it is not impossible to write poems, but how does Brother Lin determine the winner or loser?" the head of the Fang family hesitated for a while, and asked after considering his words.

Since ancient times, there is no first, and the quality of poetry is indeed not very easy to judge intuitively. The question of the head of the Fang family is also reasonable.

"Haha, Brother Fang's worries are completely unnecessary. In the final analysis, Wenbi is a test of talent. As you know, if you study poetry and scriptures, you will have talent. Talent is not determined by heaven, but by man. The reason why my Tang Empire has stood for 10,000 years is because Confucian monks can control their talents through reading, and obtain power that is not inferior to Taoism, Buddha, demons, and demons. ”

Lin Xuan explained with a smile: "This essay competition only has one question, which is to consider your talent. As we all know, talent can't be stolen, and only if you have talent can you really transform it into talent. ”

Although Lin Xuan was awkward, everyone understood what he meant. Talent can only be sent out by oneself, not stolen. There are so many Confucian classics, almost every Confucian student memorizes them like a stream, but if they don't understand the classics, they won't be talented. Otherwise, if so many Confucian classics could be stolen, this world would have been Confucian monks a long time ago, and it would not be almost completely inferior in the four great avenues of harmony, Buddhism, demons, and demons.

"Then how does Brother Lin determine the level of talent?" asked the head of the Qin family.

Talent does not leak. Without special means, it is impossible to distinguish the level of talent.

Lin Xuan smiled and took out a statue from his arms, the statue was carved out of wood, and it looked a little rough. However, there is a different kind of charm entangled in the statue.

"Statue of a sage?" When Lin Xuan took out the statue and everyone was still stunned for a while, a surprised voice sounded.

"Sage statue, this is the sage statue?" Fang Shaotian asked Chen Yinxin in surprise, and Chen Yinxin nodded.

The realm of the sage is an incomparably profound realm of monks, and in the human realm, anything about a sage is definitely a good thing.

"This little friend has extraordinary eyesight, and he can tell at a glance that this is a sage statue. Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, this is the statue of the sage, and it is the statue of the great sage of Confucianism." Since this little friend knows that this is a sage statue, please explain to you the function of the sage statue. ”

The person who had previously revealed the statue of the sage stood up, and it was a young man who looked younger than Chen Yinxin. The boy was dressed in black and was heroic.

The young man in black said: "Since this is a statue of a Confucian sage, there is no need to talk about other functions. However, for this literary comparison, the sage statue just plays its role and can test the level of talent. ”

The black-clothed young man saluted Lin Xuan and sat down.

Chen Yinxin also looked at Lin Xuan in surprise, but Datang was just an unsatisfactory Jinshi, and there was actually a sage like this. It seems that Lin Xuan has paid a lot of money for this literary competition.

Seeing that the eyes of the family masters, especially the four family masters, began to turn red, Lin Xuan explained with a smile: "This is naturally not a real sage statue, just an imitation of a sage statue. And it was Lin who borrowed it from a friend in Datang for this meeting, and my friend was a seven-pin Hanlin in Datang. ”

Qipin Hanlin seems to be like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the greedy minds of many family owners. Although the sages seem to be immortals to them, a seven-rank Hanlin of the Tang Empire, even the entire Aolai Kingdom cannot afford to offend. Since they can't afford to offend, their thoughts that they shouldn't have naturally extinguished.

"Brother Tai is from Dongtu?"

Just as the auditorium fell into an eerie silence, Chen Yinxin suddenly stood up and asked the black-clothed young man.

The young man in black did not evade, he said proudly: "I am from the east!"

I am from the east, and just a few words seem to have supreme magic, which makes the heads of the major families suffocate slightly!
