Chapter 123
Tengwang Pavilion was built in the Yonghui period of the Tang Dynasty. Because the founder was Li Yuanying, the Tengwang, the younger brother of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, it was named Tengwang Pavilion.
At the beginning, Tengwang Pavilion was not well-known. Later, it became famous because of the "Preface to Tengwang Pavilion" written by Wang Bo, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. It is also known as the three famous towers in Jiangnan together with the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, Hubei and Yueyang Tower in Hunan.
At this time, Xu Jin walked out of the cabin, facing the rising sun and looking at this ancient and famous building standing on the edge of the Gan River. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion, as if something was about to erupt in his chest, and he had traveled through five hundred years of time and space... …
Xu Jin also visited Tengwang Pavilion in his previous life, but the Tengwang Pavilion in front of him was far from the modern one, both in layout and appearance.
It is said that Tengwang Pavilion has been repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt nearly thirty times since the Tang Dynasty to modern times. The most recent reconstruction was in 1989, using the restoration drawings created by the famous ancient architect Liang Sicheng and his disciples.
After all, it was so long ago that it was normal for there to be differences in the restoration pictures created by Mr. Liang. Therefore, the Tengwang Pavilion that Xu Jin saw at this time was different from the large, super tall and 4A-level Tengwang Pavilion in later generations. far away.
Tengwang Pavilion is built on the edge of the Gan River. There is a dock nearby. There are many ships coming and going, and it is a bustling scene. The Xie family and his son drove the fishing boat to the dock and docked. Xie Erjian jumped on the boat lightly and stabilized the boat with his feet. head, and pulled Xu Jin and the two oxen ashore.
"I wish my virtuous son-in-law a good start and success!" Xie Qing stood at the stern of the boat and waved goodbye with a smile.
Although the idiom "old father-in-law" is a bit inappropriate when used in the imperial examination, Xu Jin still smiled and waved: "I carry on my good wishes from Mount Tai. Have a good trip back!"
"Hehe...Taishan, using Mount Tai to reach the North Sea, I told people, I can't do it, sincerely can't..."
A greasy and obscene voice suddenly sounded nearby. Xu Jin couldn't help but follow the sound, and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe walking towards this side drunkenly, shaking his head and chanting something like this.
This middle-aged scribe was about forty years old, with a slender face and sparse eyebrows. His body smelled of alcohol from a long distance away, and everyone near the dock avoided him.
The middle-aged scribe ignored this and continued to walk to the pier. He untied his belt and took out the bird. He even peed on the river. While urinating, he chanted: "Others laugh at me for being too crazy. I laugh at others because they can't see through it." , there are no tombs of the heroes of the Five Tombs, no flowers, no wine, no flowers, no wine, hoeing and farming... What a yellow urine, it will go all the way to the east of the Yangtze River!"
Xu Jin couldn't help but have black lines on his head. This old boy was so shameless. He took out a bird and shot a bird into the river in front of everyone while boarding a boat at the pier?
The women on the boat covered their faces and screamed, while the men cursed and shouted that they wanted to go ashore to deal with this shameless and unhygienic old bastard.
The middle-aged man didn't take it seriously. After urinating, he shook his head happily, put on his belt and left, while continuing to chant: "I'm chatting like a teenager, holding the yellow on the left, holding the blue on the right, and shooting the yellow urine into the Ganjiang River..."
"It's really insulting to gentlemen!"
"Oh, it seems that Tang Ziwei is really crazy. He did such a discourteous thing, which is an insult to gentlemen!"
"Haha, Tang Jieyuan has a new work, a piece of yellow urine shot into the Ganjiang River."
Some passing literati stopped to watch, some shook their heads and sighed, some sneered, and some gloated.
A strange look appeared on Xu Jin's face, Tang Ziwei? Tang Jieyuan? Could this be the famous Tang Yin and Tang Bohu?
Damn it, this image is too different!
Tang Yin was born in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. His courtesy name was Bohu, which was later changed to Ziwei. He was a famous calligrapher, painter, and poet. He had countless haloes around his head. His name is well known to women and children even in modern times, and he is the most familiar among them.
This is the story of Tang Bohu ordering Qiuxiang.
In Xu Jin's mind, Tang Bohu should be a handsome and handsome man, but the wretched and slovenly middle-aged uncle in front of him almost made his eyes pop out. It was really far from the image in his mind.
"Brother, is that Tang Yin Tang Jieyuan?" Xu Jin stopped a passing scholar and asked.
The scholar sneered: "Who else could do such a shameless thing except him? Last time he pooped at the gate of the city. This guy is already crazy."
Xu Jin couldn't help but feel something in his heart. In his previous life, he loved calligraphy. He copied many ancient copybooks, including Tang Bohu's. He still knew something about Tang Bohu's life. He remembered that Tang Bohu was invited to serve as an aide in Prince Ning's Mansion, but later he found out that Prince Ning was rebelling.
He was worried, so he pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool, so he was able to escape and successfully escaped the disaster of King Ning's rebellion.
At this time, Tang Yin had already walked into the Tengwang Pavilion in the distance. So Xu Jin also took Er Niu and Xie Erjian to the Tengwang Pavilion.
After traveling through five hundred years of time and space and meeting historical celebrities, Xu Jin was naturally very interested and wanted to visit the Tengwang Pavilion from the Ming Dynasty.
Xie Erjian lazily followed Xu Jin with his hands folded. Since he learned that his son-in-law had a grudge against Prince Ning, Xie Qing specially asked his son to follow him to protect Xu Jin's safety.
"Xu Jianshou stayed behind!"
As soon as Xu Jing walked outside the Tengwang Pavilion, he heard someone calling him from behind. When he turned around, he saw a group of scholars walking quickly.
"Haha, that's great. It's really Mr. Xu, the head of the case. I've finally come to you."
The group of scholars in front of me are not from Shangrao County, but they are from Guangxin Prefecture. Some of them are somewhat impressive to Xu Jin, such as Huang Dacan from Yiyang County and He Jindong from Hengfeng County. Of course, the most impressive among them is naturally
The leader of the case in Guixi County, Jiang Fangjie, is dead.
Xu Jin smiled and returned the courtesy: "Xu Jin has seen that you are of the same age!"
Huang Dacan said happily: "With the arrival of Mr. Xu, our Guangxin Mansion has become even more powerful. We can definitely defeat Nanchang Mansion today."
He Jindong nodded and said, "What Brother Huang said is absolutely true."
During Jiang Fangjie's government examination, he was robbed of the title by Xu Jin. During the prefect's private banquet, Xu Jin's song "Picture of Picking Woodcutter" stole his limelight and won the respect and reputation of the scholars, so he was dissatisfied with Xu Jin.
.
At this time, Jiang Fangjie felt even more unhappy when he saw that the people in Guangxin Mansion were so enthusiastic and respectful of Xu Jin in the same year. He said calmly: "Although Mr. Xu is full of talent and learning, Nanchang Mansion is even more talented. It's hard for me to defeat them!"
"
Huang Dacan frowned and said: "Jiang Fangjie, don't try to increase others' ambition and destroy your own prestige!"
"I'm just discussing the matter. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see." Jiang Fangjie sneered, and then walked into Tengwang Pavilion. The candidates from Guixi County hesitated for a moment, but followed Jiang Fangjie.
"Bah, I'm ashamed to be in the company of such a flattering villain." He Jindong from Hengfeng County let out a soft sigh and cursed.
At the private banquet held by the prefect Lu Kang that day, Jiang Fangjie took the lead in presenting a birthday poem to Prince Ning, kneeling and licking Prince Ning. Therefore, all the scholars were ashamed of him. However, Xu Jin, who wrote poems to satirize and admonish Prince Ning, was praised and praised by everyone.
Support, Huang Dacan and He Jindong took part in escorting Xu Jin home that night.
"We don't care about the one with the surname Jiang. Even if Guixi County is missing today, our Guangxin Prefecture can still win. Let's go up the stairs!" A book businessman waved his hand vigorously.
Xu Jin smiled bitterly and said, "Wait a minute, classmates, I just got off the boat and landed, and I haven't even found a place to stay. What's going on?"
Huang Dacan slapped his forehead and said: "No wonder Mr. Xu's servant is still carrying his luggage. I heard before that Mr. Qianshan Fei Minshou mentioned that Mr. Xu was late. I didn't expect him to arrive now..."
After listening to Huang Dacan's account, Xu Jin finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that Prince Ning was humiliated in Shangrao County and was deported back to Nanchang by Sun Sui, so he turned his anger on the candidates in Shangrao County and encouraged the local candidates in Nanchang to attack the candidates in Shangrao County, led by his elder brother Wei Yang and the Fei brothers. Guangxin Prefecture
The candidates couldn't stand it, so they all stepped in to "help" the candidates in Shangrao County. As a result, the conflict between the two sides became more and more intense, and finally turned into a competition between candidates in Guangxin Prefecture and Nanchang Prefecture.
Of course, a fight between literati is not a full-scale martial arts show. We are all gentlemen and can solve the problem by talking, so naturally we should not take action. A gentleman talks but does not take action.
The two sides agreed to hold a literary meeting in Tengwang Pavilion to determine the winner, not only in poetry and poetry, but also in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. In any case, it was a competition of both talent and learning.
There were two competitions some time ago. In the first competition, which compared pairs and musical instruments, Guangxinfu lost; in the second competition, which compared singing and chess skills, Guangxinfu won.
