Looking at the unhappy-looking Jinshi around him, Prime Minister Liu Cheng shook his head and stepped forward in person to echo Emperor Le's comments about Shang Zhongyong.
"Li Zhuangyuan's article uses the example of Fang Zhongyong to explain that although people receive it from Heaven differently, they must still receive it from others, otherwise they will become common people again. It further explains that those who have not received it from Heaven are originally common people. If they do not receive it from Heaven, they will become common people again.
For people, I’m afraid it’s even difficult to be a crowd, and it also emphasizes the importance of acquired learning.”
"The title of the article is Shang Zhongyong, but there is not a single word "shang" in the article. However, the whole article is written with the word "shang". The anaphora of this article is not in the form but in the content. This article first narrates and then discusses, in fact
Arguments are made on the basis of narratives, and facts become the basis for making arguments. First, the two or two paragraphs are only narrated, not discussed, to serve the discussion in the third paragraph. The following arguments are concentrated, concise and concise, like the finishing touch, making the previously stated facts immediately
Sublimation is of typical significance. The full text is only 200 words, and the simplicity of the narrative and the thoroughness of the reasoning are rare."
As the head of the civil service, as soon as Prime Minister Liu Cheng's words came out, the expressions of a small number of Jinshi who were looking unhappy changed and they quickly lowered their heads.
As the Emperor of Music and the Prime Minister spoke out one after another, others followed suit and expressed their appreciation for Shang Zhongyong.
"The language of Li Zhuangyuan's article is very precise. The narrative part completely describes Fang Zhongyong's transformation process from the age of five to twenty in just over 150 words. The discussion part is only more than 70 words. Every word in the article is
Each word and sentence has its exact expression function, rather than being dispensable. For example, in the first paragraph, the first sentence explains the place of origin, identity, name, and family background. This is not only an indispensable introduction, but also the three characters "Shi Li Geng" are
The necessary foreshadowing of the failure to learn books and tools, not only highlights Fang Zhongyong's extraordinary talent, but also hints at the family background that caused his fate; the word "cry" vividly describes Fang Zhongyong's childlike mood when asking for books and supplies; suddenly,
That is, three adverbs are used to make the image of a child prodigy with extraordinary talent and quick literary thinking appear on the page; when Zhongyong visits the people in the city, just one sentence depicts the sad and deplorable ignorance of Fang Zhongyong's father who is greedy for small profits and contented with himself.
The attitude of not learning three words may seem dull, but it paved the way for Fang Zhongyong's change and pointed out the key to the change of Fang Zhongyong's fate. The second narrative is very brief, explaining Fang Zhongyong only by seeing, hearing and asking questions.
The subsequent changes and ending. The discussion at the end is concise and profound, and the reasoning is rigorous."
"The words to encourage learning are tactful and to the point. It should be recited by the disciples. But what to learn, we should first distinguish our aspirations. The words to encourage learning are tactful and to the point. It is not just Zhongyong who hurts Zhongyong. Smart disciples
, it should be hung as a motto."
"The No. 1 scholar's essay is won by a lot of twists and turns. In the last paragraph, he compares heaven and man, saying that heaven cannot be relied upon. Heaven cannot be relied on, and it depends on learning. Zhongyong only does not learn, so he has no heaven. Pushed to the next level, that is
If you have no talent, you will not rely on learning, and you will not be able to do anything with others. The words you create are extremely dangerous and extremely sophisticated."
"Those who are taught by Heaven are not very far apart. If you can be a teacher and make friends personally, you can be stupid and clear, and you can be soft and strong. If you can't be a teacher and make friends, how many people can be wise and strong. It is difficult for heaven and earth to create talents, and it is even more difficult to become talented.
It’s Zhongyong!”
……
All the civil and military officials in the dynasty praised him, and no scholar thought he could write a better article than Song Fulu, even though they had not yet started writing.
This is also the fastest number one scholar to be born in Leguo's imperial examination. The imperial examination has just begun, and Song Fulu has already been selected as the new number one scholar by the emperor, empress, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Such treatment is the only one in the history of Leguo.
In order not to disturb other Jinshi examinations, Emperor Le Huang personally took Song Fulu out of Fengtian Palace and visited the nearby Imperial Garden. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty followed closely behind, praising Song Fulu's article.
After having fun on the way, I couldn't help but said: "I heard that Duke Zhuangyuan is good at writing poems. I wonder if I can write a poem for me?"
Looking at the expectant music queen and the equally expectant music emperor next to him, Song Fulu felt that even if he did not think about himself, he would always consider the two daughters of the original owner, so this poem was naturally written.
After thinking about it for a while, Song Fulu smiled and said: "My Majesty has appointed me, how can I not obey? I just thought of a good poem, but I am afraid that Your Majesty will be angry, so I don't know if I should write it."
"Will Your Majesty be angry?" Lehou looked over.
Emperor Le said with a smile: "It's just a poem. No matter how much I love you, I won't be angry if you write it."
Soon the pens, inks, paper and inkstones were ready, and the civil and military officials from all over the court gathered around them, full of expectations.
Song Fulu wrote: "The Emperor Yue longed for the city when he was young, but Yu Yu couldn't get it for many years."
Seeing this first sentence, Prime Minister Liu Cheng's face changed slightly, and he wanted to stop him. Doesn't this mean that Emperor Le was fond of beauty when he was young? How dare you, boy.
However, he was stopped by Le Huang, who said with a smile on his face: "Only a great hero can show his true colors, and he is a true celebrity. Li Zhuangyuan said that I loved beautiful women when I was young, and there was nothing wrong with me."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty." Liu Cheng and others saluted together and continued to look down. The Queen of Music next to her covered her mouth with a smile and glanced at the Emperor of Music, as if to say that what Li Zhuangyuan said was absolutely true, don't you just like beauty?
, and I have a new love and have forgotten my old love. I haven’t taken the initiative to come to my place for several days.
Song Fulu continued to write: "There is a daughter in the Bai family who has just grown up, but she is raised in a deep boudoir and no one knows her."
Seeing this sentence, Le Hou smiled slightly. Isn't this about myself? It was indeed written for myself.
"It's hard to give up on natural beauty. Once you choose it, you will be on the side of the king."
"Looking back, you can smile and be charming, the pink and white in the Sixth Palace have no color."
……
Song Fulu did not write any more after that. These few sentences were enough. After reading the last sentence, all the civil and military officials and the music emperors and queens fell into silence.
I don't know how much time passed, but the Emperor of Music clapped his hands and sighed: "Li Zhuangyuan is really a great talent. The last sentence can be said to be the ultimate description of the queen, and it is extremely appropriate. Looking back, she smiles and is full of charm. The pink and white in the sixth palace have no color. Good, good, of course."
The reward is ten thousand taels of gold, three famous horses, and ten splendid carriages..."
"Thank you so much, Duke Zhuangyuan. It's really flattering." The queen obviously liked this poem very much. She actually thanked Song Fulu in person, and her eyes lit up when she read this poem.
This poem simply touched her heart, especially the last sentence, which was so in line with her feelings and so beautifully written for her.
As soon as this poem came out, the concubines of the Sixth Palace were no longer qualified to compare it with it. This is a famous poem through the ages, and it became famous from the moment it was written.
No matter whether it was the Music Emperor or the Music Queen, or the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, they never thought that Song Fulu could write such a famous poem through the ages, and that he could write about the Music Queen to this extent.
The concubine Bai Ning, who originally had some objections to Song Fulu, became so happy because of this poem that he not only had no objections to Song Fulu anymore, but also gave him a lot of treasures. Song Fulu's position as the first in the imperial examination was no longer shaken.
Soon after the imperial examination ended, Song Fulu won the first place as expected. As for the second place and the third best, the articles written by them were not comparable to Song Fulu's. The gap was really too big.
After reading Song Fulu's "Shang Zhongyong", the other Jinshi were all impressed.
After becoming the number one scholar, you need to praise the official for three days. This is also one of the most glorious moments in the life of every Jinshi.
The so-called "three days of praising officials" means that after the emperor called the roll call at Fengtian Hall and appointed the number one scholar, number two, top pick and Jinshi, the number one scholar led the Jinshi to thank the emperor for his kindness, and then went to the left gate of the palace to watch the gold medals and go home.
process.
Song Fulu's hometown of Binghu Town was too far away from the imperial palace, so it was impossible to travel that far to praise him for three days, so he could only temporarily make Songzhu Hall his home. This was also the normal practice for many Jinshi who lived in other places.
After receiving the news, Shochikukan will send someone to greet you as soon as possible and give you a very grand welcome.
Song Fulu, as the leader of the palace examination, naturally led many new scholars to look at the rankings. The Minister of Civil Affairs would personally arrange flowers and wear red silk for the number one scholar. The new number one scholar would ride on the famous horse given by the emperor and walk through Tianjie to show the emperor's great favor. This is also
The ceremony of passing through the Golden Palace.
Because once the scholars who participated in the imperial examination were named on the gold medal list, they would immediately become world-famous new dignitaries like a carp jumping over the Dragon Gate, so the left gate of the palace was also called the Dragon Gate.
After the Dragon Gate is the Meridian Gate, which has five door openings and three door openings on the front.
The main entrance in the middle of the front can only be entered and exited by the emperor, and the queen can enter it once when she enters the palace for her wedding.
The top three, the second, and the top three in the palace examination can also walk once when they come out.
Others, such as princes, prime ministers, concubines, princesses, princes, grandsons, dignitaries, and eunuchs, do not have this kind of treatment and can only use two side doors.
Other civil and military officials can only go through Liangyemen.
The two doors are opened on the bases on both sides. They are not visible from the front, but can be seen from the back.
That is to say, the Meridian Gate of the Imperial Palace has three door openings when viewed from the front and five when viewed from the back.
The gates on both sides of the Meridian Gate are not open at ordinary times. They are only opened on days of great dynasty. Civil servants use the east gate and military attaches go through the west gate.
As the number one candidate in the imperial examination, Song Fulu is naturally qualified to walk through the main entrance of the Meridian Gate. This should be the only opportunity in his life to walk through the main entrance of the Meridian Gate, of course, without exposing his true strength.
But even if he is exposed, limited to the rules of this world, Song Fulu is no match for the Leguo court, so it is better to be honest.
After leaving the main entrance of the Meridian Gate, we soon arrived at Jian'an Avenue and began our three-day tour of the official parade.
Song Fulu wore a gold-flowered black gauze hat and a scarlet python robe. He held the royal imperial edict in his hand, and stood astride a golden saddle and red temple horse. He cheered in front and behind him, flags and drums opened the way, thunderous cheers, joyful cannons shook the sky, and the streets were decorated with lanterns and festoons. Behind him,
Followed closely by the second place, third flower, Jinshi, and fellow Jinshis, the most conspicuous among them is naturally Song Fulu, who is at the top.
At this moment, both sides of Jian'an Avenue are packed with people. Basically, people from the capital have come out to get a glimpse of Wen Quxing's talent, even some rich and powerful people are no exception.
Looking at Song Fulu walking at the front, everyone immediately knew who the top pick was.
"He turned out to be the number one scholar in Luoshui Jiawen High School. I originally thought it would be good if he could get a Jinshi, but I didn't expect that this fifty-two-year-old man could actually become the first in the imperial examination."
"If I remember correctly, the good man of Luoshui has won three yuans in a row. He is the first to solve the yuan in the provincial examination, the first to realize the yuan in the joint examination, and now he has won the first place in the palace examination. He can be said to be the number one person in our country. Here,
Never before has a scholar been able to achieve such results, and the great man from Luoshui can be said to be the first."
"This is a real Wenqu star descending to the earth. It is our blessing to be able to see it with our own eyes. We will take a good look at it later. If we can get closer, we can get closer to the talent of the Number One Scholar. Remember?" p>
"The Number One Scholar is not only astonishing in talent and learning, he is also good at poetry. I have looked at all the people in the literary circles of our dynasty, but no one seems to be able to match him."
……
The spring breeze is so proud that a horse's hooves are so strong that he can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day. This may be the saying.
Even though he has reached the level of gods in the main world and is in charge of the life and death of hundreds of millions of people, Song Fulu felt happy when faced with such a happy event.
The four great joys of the ancients were dew after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the night of flowers and candles in the wedding room, and the time when someone was named on the gold medal list.
The first one among them is the gold list, which shows the joy of this matter.
When passing by Famous Building Street, the waiters, oirans, and red-card girls from various famous buildings all came over one after another and raised their handkerchiefs towards Song Fulu.
"Jia Weng, come to my place tonight. I've left the door open for you and am waiting for you to come."
"As long as Mr. Jia Weng is willing to come to my place, I am willing to do good things for Mr. Jia Weng. I will wash my hands and make soup from now on, and take good care of Mr. Jia Weng."
"Master Zhuangyuan, the girls are waiting so anxiously for you. When will you come to our Yihong Courtyard? The girls can't wait."
"If the Number One Scholar doesn't give up, we at Yicui Tower can let the Number One Scholar be the groom every day and enter the bridal chamber every night until the Number One Scholar leaves our Yicui Tower."
……
Many girls rushed over impatiently and wanted to touch Song Fulu. Fortunately, there were official officials who stopped him. Otherwise, who knows whether Song Fulu, the new champion, could have left the vicinity of Minglou Street standing.
And the news that Song Fulu won the first place in the palace examination and became the number one scholar in the new subject was like having wings, flying towards the entire Le Kingdom.
Pigeons carried messages traveling thousands of miles per day and could soon reach various provinces. Among them, Luoshui Province, the hometown of Song Fulu, was naturally the top priority.
After receiving the news, the Luoshui Prefect immediately sent congratulatory gifts and corresponding rewards. As for Yinzhou, Datong County, Tang County, etc., they all agreed one after another, and basically sent senior officials to express their condolences.
The entire Tang County has turned into a sea of joy. Under the leadership of the county magistrate, all officials in the county went to Binghu Town, bringing plaques and gifts to thank the Li family for cultivating a champion, and a third-level scholar.
The number one champion is unprecedented in the history of the Le Kingdom.
This is not only the glory of the Li family, but also the glory of the entire Tang County, the entire Datong County, the entire Yinzhou, and even the entire Luoshui Province.
The palace examination is held every three years, and there is only one champion, but there are fifty provinces in Leguo. Any province that can cultivate the champion will be rewarded by the court in the next three years.
The Luoshui province has not produced a champion for decades. Song Fulu is the first in decades and the only one since the founding of the Le Kingdom to achieve the top rank of three champions. His status and influence are extraordinary. p>
