Chapter Three Hundred and Thirteen: Shabby Room Inscription
"Where is this?"
The emperor said: "Changwen Pavilion is the place where the imperial examination system was established in all dynasties."
"Imperial examination system?"
At this time, an old man wearing official uniform came out and looked at the two of them and said: "Why don't you two go in? Hurry up and take the written test!"
Tang Chen glanced at the emperor, who smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that I would appear here today to take such an exam."
The man pushed the two of them and said: "We have been here for ten years. Why don't you dare to go in? Come in quickly and the examiner will come, but you won't be able to get in!"
This old man is a good person. After Tang Chen and the emperor entered, their clothes immediately changed. However, the candidates who had already entered did not seem to notice the changes in their clothes. This illusion was too flawed.
"Take out your belt! Hurry up and go in one by one!"
Tang Chen touched his waist and didn't know when an extra sign actually appeared. After asking them to check it, he went in and sat down. The examiner announced today's test rules, and then today's test questions are based on "
Write an article titled "Morality".
The Emperor was sitting next to Tang Chen and Tang Chen whispered: "Your Majesty, do you know how?"
The emperor looked at Tang Chen and said, "This is still very simple."
"Well, if something happens, just shout loudly and I will come to save you!"
At this time, a partition was placed between them, and then two old men gave them pens and paper. Tang Chen felt a little uncomfortable looking at the inkstone and ink in front of him. First of all, he didn't know how to use these things.
It took him a long time to grind the ink, then he picked up the pen and dipped it in ink. As soon as he picked it up, the ink dripped on the paper, and the paper turned completely black. Tang Chen was stunned and shouted: "Where is the examiner?
Where is the examiner? My paper is dirty and I can't continue writing. Come here quickly."
"Who is making such a noise here?" At this time, a man in official uniform came over and looked at Tang Chen's posture holding the pen and said, "Get out quickly, you don't even know how to hold the pen and you are still here to take the exam. I think you are really stupid."
It’s just wishful thinking!”
Tang Chen sneered and said: "I don't know how to hold a pen. Will it affect my exam? I have already thought in my heart that a very good work will amaze the world if I put it out!"
"Amazing!" The man took out two pieces of paper from his armpit and handed them to him and said, "Then I will give you two pieces of paper today and you can write them down for me. I want to see how amazing it is!"
Tang Chen took the two pieces of paper. In fact, he was really thinking about it now and didn't have any ideas. The word "virtue" made him think of the "Disciple Regulations" first. But this dynasty started to change from the Kingdom of Shu. Writing this
Something is really not quite right. He brainstormed and thought of Li Bai and Du Fu, but they were all poems... He sighed and put down his pen and looked at the guy opposite who was writing furiously. He wanted to see the emperor's words.
But there was a partition over there and he couldn't even see it.
Tang Chen sighed: "De... De..."
"Yes!" Suddenly, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he thought of a classical Chinese article that he had learned in junior high school! "Inscription on the Humble Room" is Liu Yuxi's view of virtue. This article appeared just after the Shu Kingdom.
Smiling, he wrote: "If the mountains are not high, there will be immortals and spirits. If the water is not deep, there will be dragons and spirits. This is a humble house, but I am virtuous. The moss marks on the steps are green, and the grass is green in the curtains. I can tune the plain piano..."
"
At this point, he had used up one piece of paper and continued writing on the second piece of paper. He originally wanted to write the words slightly smaller, but a big black bump appeared with the brush. He shouted: "Examiner, Examiner."
The examiner came over again and said, "What do you want to do? If you make any trouble with me again, I will throw you out right now."
Tang Chen held up the two pieces of paper in his hand and said, "I am short of a few words when writing this article. Please give me a piece of paper and I will write it down as soon as possible."
The examiner looked impatient and said, "I think you are crazy. Everyone else is given one piece of paper per person, but you actually want four!"
Tang Chen said: "Look at how well I wrote this article."
At this time, the man picked up the article and took a look at it. He frowned and said, "What kind of article are you writing? I don't know any of these words. You dare to play tricks on me. I will have you kicked out right now."
Go out and disqualify you from the imperial examination forever!"
"Don't be so narrow-minded. To be honest, this article of mine is truly a masterpiece of the ages. If you miss it, it will really be gone!"
Hearing the noise, another examiner came over, looked at them and asked, "What's going on?"
"This kid disrupted the examination room. He made stains on the first piece of paper. He said he could write a piece of writing that would last forever, so I gave him another two pieces. Now what he wrote on this piece of paper is nothing."
"Is that so?" the examiner said, "If you disrupt the examination room, I can disqualify you right now and let you out."
Tang Chen said: "My family is from the mountains, so the writing here is a little different from our writing, but I guarantee that what I write will be an eternal masterpiece!"
"Eternal and wonderful text?"
"That's right!"
The man smiled and said disdainfully: "Many candidates are just like you. They think they can write good things every day, but they write nothing but bullshit!"
"This way I can read it out directly and you can write it down for me! If it's not a strange article, then you can tell me what it is."
The examiner glanced at Tang Chen and actually took out a piece of paper from his armpit, then picked up Tang Chen's pen and dipped it in the ink twice, squeezed out some of the ink on the inkstone, and said with the pen in hand: "Come on.
, let me see what wonderful article it is, if it is the same as what those people wrote, then you can just go out and never come to Wenchang Pavilion!"
"Master Zhang, we can't let him do whatever he wants!"
Lord Zhang waved his hand and said: "The imperial court will not let go of any talented person or let go of anyone who wants to deceive!"
Tang Chen chuckled and said, "Listen. My topic is Inscription on a Humble House!"
"kindness!"
"If the mountains are not high, they will be famous if they have immortals; if the water is not deep, if there are dragons, they will be spiritual."
The adult seemed to be writing it one stroke at a time, and the adult next to him said: "Continue."
Tang Chen said: "Wait until he finishes writing."
Master Zhang said: "You continue to talk."
"This is a humble house, but I am kind to you. The moss marks on the steps are green, and the grass is green on the curtains."
Master Zhang didn't stop moving his hands and then looked up at Tang Chen and said, "What next?"
"You can tune the plain Qin and read the Golden Scripture, without the clutter of silk and bamboo, or the labor of writing documents."
