Chapter 36

The Lu Ming Banquet is not in Hangzhou City, but in the "Quanlin Villa" in the southern suburbs outside the city. There are mountains and waters, and a bamboo forest that covers a large area. The scenery is very beautiful and the architecture is very particular.

The gatherings of literati and talented people require leisure and leisure, and the environment is very important. This kind of villa is the most suitable.

However, recently, the Jade Emperor Mountain outside the Nanjiao City made a fuss about eating people and monsters, and people were in panic. Therefore, for this banquet, the prefect Yang Jianxing also paid special attention and specially sent many officers and soldiers to stand guard in case of any accidents.

But in fact, Yang Jianxing did this just to pretend to reassure the talents attending the banquet.

Lu Ming Banquet is always hosted by Xu Zhengqing, and he will also go to Quanlin Villa during the banquet.

Xu Zhengqing was a "doctor" of the dynasty and had already entered the Tao with literature and could arouse literary spirit at any time. If there was a blind monster who dared to make trouble in front of him, there was only one ending, that was to be killed!

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

There were many people attending the banquet. In addition to the top ten in this prefecture examination, there were also several prefecture school teachers from Hangzhou Prefecture and some famous scholars.

In addition, there are some special groups, such as Xu Mu'e, the daughter of Xu Zhengqing, also came. She has always liked poetry, and this kind of banquet is something she should not miss. Even if she can't appear on the main table, she hides secretly, and pretends to be a maid and maid, she is willing to do so.

The banquet began soon.

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

It is shown that many questions and will be presented in the provincial examination, and several gentlemen will explain them one by one.

These teachers have been able to teach in the public school. It is not easy for ordinary people to invite them, and it is a rare opportunity to increase their knowledge.

The analysis of the meaning of the classics, the ideas for answering questions, the children present, and even the scholars, listened very seriously. The sea of ​​knowledge is endless. Seize every opportunity to make progress and learn more from good teachers and friends, so that you can go further on the road to the imperial examination.

It took more than an hour to explain and comment, and the ten new boys all gained a lot. After listening to the gentlemen's explanation, if they were asked to do a test paper for the mansion, they would definitely do better.

However, Xu Xian and Fang Zhongyong are exceptions.

With their level, they have already surpassed the public test-tested children. They can do these explanations perfectly, and it is useless to listen to them anymore.

However, the comments on the test papers of the house are related to them next.

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

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

It means that most literati are modest, and their respective articles have their own advantages. It is difficult to tell who is the first place; warriors like to be brave and fierce, and there must be someone standing and someone falling down to tell the difference in martial arts competition.

But in fact, the struggle between literati is not less than that of martial artists, but it is not so obvious.

Most of the children who can become the top ten in the palace examination are the most outstanding talents in the county, with arrogance in their hearts. They are naturally a little dissatisfied with Xu Xian, who can beat him to win the case leader, and want to see what kind of test paper Xu Xian answered.

Even Fang Zhongyong knew that there was no problem with the outcome of the case leader, and Xu Xian's answer was definitely better than him, but he also wanted to see and make him convinced.

Seeing everyone's curious eyes, Xu Zhengqing smiled, deliberately kept it a secret, put Xu Xian's test paper at the end, and first commented on other new Tongsheng's outstanding works during the examination in the mansion.

It has to be said that the quality of the children in the Hangzhou Prefecture Examination is relatively high. Not to mention that even children like Fang Zhongyong can only rank second. The other eight children present are actually not simple. Their test papers are remarkable, and excellent works have appeared in strategy and poetry. After reading many articles, the scholars present couldn't help but nod and praise!

If these people participated in the government examinations in previous years, they would probably have the ability to compete for the top position.

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

As for Fang Zhongyong's test paper, it goes without saying that the arrogance in the hearts of the other eight children disappeared immediately after he was released, and only admiration was allowed.

Amazing!

Perfect!

None of the shortcomings were found!

Even the many famous scholars and Mr. Lao Juren present looked at Fang Zhongyong in surprise.

He is worthy of being a child prodigy who was famous in Hangzhou when he was five years old. Now he is young and can achieve such achievements. Even if he ends up with Fang Zhongyong's theory of poetry and essays, he may not be able to produce such excellent articles!

"No wonder he was personally accepted as a disciple by Lord Xuezheng Xu. This talent is rare in the world. Even if he is not the top scholar in the future, he will definitely pass the Jinshi!"

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

Just when they recovered a little, they were shocked by another thought.

Fang Zhongyong's test paper is so flawless, it can be called a cluster of flowers! On the day of the house examination, Fang Zhongyong did indeed make the article stimulate the literary spirit and form a strange phenomenon of brilliant writing!

But why is the position of the head of the case not Fang Zhongyong?

Everyone looked at Xu Xian at the same time, and this ability was overwhelming Fang Zhongyong to get the head of the case.

"Okay, I understand what everyone is thinking. Now, let Mr. Wang read the article about Xu Case for everyone! Read the poem first. You should also look forward to Xu Case for the most. Before the examination, you have already made a quatrain like "I want to compare West Lake with Xizi, light makeup and heavy makeup are always suitable." What else can I do during the examination?" Xu Zhengqing said with a smile.

Indeed, before the results of the mansion examination came out, everyone was talking about it, saying that Xu Xian was at a disadvantage, and he wrote a quatrain in history in advance. If he was left in the mansion examination, this poem would definitely add a lot of points once it was published!

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

During the examination, did he write another poem that is no less than his previous work?

Now the answer to the mystery is about to be revealed, and many people listen carefully.

For example, Xu Mu'e, who sneaked into the banquet, looked energetic and very happy.

There is a reason why Xu Zhengqing became an official. As the daughter of academic affairs, she could not see the answer sheet of the examination before. She had been waiting for a long time this day.

Upon hearing this, an old man with gray hair stood up and said peacefully: "This new work by Xu Wenshou is called "Chuntang Lake Spring Tour"." After that, he paused for a moment before he began to recite:

The north of Gushan Temple is Jiating west of Jiating, the water surface is at the beginning of flatness, and the clouds are low.

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

The flowers are gradually fascinating, and only the asakusa can lose horse hooves.

I love the lake that is not enough to travel east, and the white sand embankment is in the shade of green willows.

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

Poetry is like wine, and it can intoxicate people.

Xu Xian's song "Spring Tour of 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 do, but more of it is talent!

Just as everyone was drunk, Xu Xuezheng stood up and wanted to recite this poem "The Five Kingdoms" for Xu Xian himself!

"If the five countries are destroyed, is it not that the army is not good? If the war is not good, the disadvantage is that the bribery of Qin. If the Qin bribery is ineffective, the way to destroy it is to destroy it."

Although Xu Xuezheng was a literati, his voice was powerful, full of momentum, and full of concerns and advice about the court as a court official.

He deeply understood the views expressed in this Five Kingdoms Theory, so he was particularly devoted to reading them.

"I miss my grandfather, and I cut off the frost and thorns to make a sizeable land. The descendants don't care about it very much, so I give it to others, like abandoning grass. Today I cut five cities, tomorrow I cut ten cities, and then I can sleep peacefully. I look up at the four realms, and the Qin soldiers arrived again."

Looking back on the ancestors and parents of the five countries, they braved the frost and dew and thorns, so they had a little land. However, their descendants did not cherish it and gave it to others, just like abandoning grass.

I will cut off five cities today and ten cities tomorrow, and then I will sleep for a night and have a safe sleep. When I get up and look at the surrounding borders, the Qin army is coming again.

The same is true for the Dali Dynasty. It was not easy to find a country, but now it can compromise and cede land in order to ensure the stability of the day. It is really heartbreaking.

Xu Zhengqing's tone was filled with sadness and anger.

"If the world is so great that it is, the story of the destruction of the five countries will be under the five countries!"

After reading a strategy, the banquet was not only quiet, but also dark and solemn.

They are still young people who are dedicated to reading the books of sages and are full of revenge, thinking about how to serve the court in the future after high school. Perhaps they will bow to reality in the future, and some corrupt officials and treacherous officials will appear, but at least they are all passionate now.

Xu Xian's works, considering the issues they never considered before, stand from a far higher perspective. Compared with Xu Xian, he is like a toddler!

Even women like Xu Mu'e who likes love love of love and poetry are impressed by this poem "The Five Kingdoms".

The first person to speak out to break the silence was the prodigy Fang Zhongyong.

He suddenly stood up and walked to Xu Xian's seat. His little face was full of seriousness, and then bent down and bowed. He was always full of arrogance and fighting spirit, and said sincerely: "Brother Xu is very talented, worried about the country and the people, I am convinced by the loss! From then on, Brother Xu is my role model!"

The other eight children also stood up and whispered: "Brother Xu is a role model for us to learn from!"
