Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 515 Chun Wei Arrives
A few days later, Tang finally ushered in the spring.

At the beginning of spring, the cold wind blew through the Southern Tang Gongyuan. At the gate, it was just dawn, and a large number of scholars had gathered. They brought dry food, water bottles, draft paper, pens and ink, etc., and waited eagerly outside the Gongyuan by the Qinhuai River.

There are many boats on the Qinhuai River. The children of rich families come here by boat or car, while the scholars of poor families and imperial students come here on foot.

Su Chen came here in a carriage, accompanied by three daughters, Peng Qingqing, Yang Linger, and Zhou Jiamin. Originally, Princess Yongning wanted to come to join in the fun, but because of her sensitive identity, it was not easy to come.

Otherwise, if the news leaks out afterwards, it will cause trouble for Su Chen instead.Some jealous people will say that she is a princess who came to leak the secrets to Su Chen and give the exam questions, and then it will be hard to argue.

"Squeak!"

The gate of the Tribute Academy opened, and the candidates who had been waiting for a long time outside the gate directly filed in.

"hurry up!"

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, give way!"

Many candidates intend to find their own examination room and seat as soon as possible, so as to prepare for the examination and make full preparations.

Su Chen was not in a hurry, he glanced at the three charming girls in the carriage, and said with a smile, "I'm going to the examination room of the Gong Yuan."

"Brother Su Chen, you will definitely pass the exam."

"Brother Chen, get the title on the gold list!"

The three girls all cheered up Su Chen and said some bright words.

Su Chen smiled slightly, got out of the car, and glanced at the plaque of the Gong Yuan, feeling a little nervous in his heart.

The factional disputes between the court and the central government are intensifying. Officials from several factions are staring at him, waiting for him to make a big splash this time around, to be the most talented and to write masterpieces; or he will not be ranked.

During the autumn of the prefectures last year, Su Chen's "Yueyang Tower" has become famous in the south of the Yangtze River, and it has been circulated in Song Dynasty, Yue Kingdom, Northern Han Dynasty, Northwest Fanfu, Southern Han Dynasty, Dali and other countries.

Some people compare Su Chen's "Yueyang Tower" with Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou", Zhuge Liang's "The Former Teacher", Sima Qian's "Hongmen Banquet", Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface", Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring", Liu Yuxi's "The Humble Room". Inscription" on a par, it is called the seven proses handed down from generation to generation.

The talent and fame of Jiangzuo Sulang is no longer limited to Jiangnan, he is famous in all the princes and states all over the world.

Coupled with the spread of his martial arts novels, drama scripts, and long and short poems, Su Chen has become a star-level talent in this era.

Where there are Chinese, there are his fans of books and words.

So, this time, Su Chen's participation in Chunwei attracted the attention of the whole world.

The dignitaries in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and even the royal family in the palace, were also waiting to see what Su Chen would write to be handed down this time.

Some people expect him to be the No. [-] scholar in high school, write eternal articles and add color.

Some people hope that he will stumble, perform abnormally, and fail the imperial examination.

Some scholars in Jinling are even more determined to compete with Jiangzuo Sulang.

"I don't know if Chen Junji, the talented scholar of Jinling Taiyuan Academy, can be the number one scholar in high school and suppress Su Chen's limelight!"

"It's difficult, but I heard that Hongzhou Xieyuan made a song "Butterfly Love Flower" a few days ago, which became famous in the capital. Maybe he is expected to win the first prize."

"Cui Dongsheng, Xieyuan from Xinzhou, is said to have written first-class splendid articles, and even Mr. Han Xizai once praised him. Maybe he is expected to be in the top three and compete for the number one scholar."

Many spectators outside were talking about it, and they were also curious about the annual Chunwei event, so they came to witness it with their own eyes.

It has to be said that there were too few entertainment items in ancient times, and many people were so bored at home that they all came to join in the fun.

Su Chen tightened the collar of his shirt to prevent the cold spring wind from getting into his collar, then he strolled in the courtyard and walked into the tribute courtyard.

But soon, someone recognized him.

"Look, that person is Jiangzuo Sulang!"

"Jiangzuo Sulang? Where is he?"

"Who, who is Jiangzuo Sulang?"

"It's right there!" Someone pointed to Su Chen's figure.

"He is Jiangzuo Sulang, I am his martial arts fan—"

"I like Jiangzuo Sulang's poems——"

"I love his script!"

Many people rushed towards Su Chen's body. It looked like crazy fans and idols who finally saw the star they admired up close and rushed over to ask for his autograph.

This enthusiasm startled Su Chen, he quickly ran away, no longer walking calmly.

Because this group of people rushed over like crazy, they would definitely knock him down. At that time, if he broke a bone, he would not be able to take the Chunwei exam.

What's more, in case someone inside did something wrong, or hid the assassin and killed him, he would be killed outside the gate of the Gongyuan.

"Whoosh!"

After all, Su Chen had kung fu in his body, he was as quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit, he sprinted, and rushed directly to the entrance of the Gongyuan.

Some candidates did not dodge in time, and were thrown down by the crowd rushing up from behind, and they suddenly became a mess.

"Don't be crowded, don't cause trouble!"

The guards from the Ministry of Rituals came over to disperse the crowd, which prevented the chaos from getting bigger.

Su Chen had already entered the courtyard without any risk, found his own examination room and location, sat down, and began to prepare.

After a while, the imperial decree arrived and the spring gong sounded.

The annual Tang Guochun Exam officially kicked off.

The official invigilator began to distribute the test papers one after another.

Su Chen took a deep breath, took the test paper, and kept praying in his heart that the questions must not be difficult, and it's best to memorize articles with similar topics by himself.

When the test paper was spread out, he saw three questions on it.

The first is to write an ancient poem with seven character quatrains, describing a mountain.

This is not difficult, there are still some Song poems in Su Chen's mind.

The second way is to write a long and short sentence, that is, words.

Su Chen thought for a while, this doesn't seem to be difficult, the more general it is, not the specific restrictions, the better he can perform
The third question is to write a prose and Chinese Fu article with rhyme, no less than [-] words, and the theme can be travel notes or chanting.

After reading it, Su Chen felt relieved, even ecstatic, it was better if it wasn't parallel prose, because parallel prose was relatively old, and he didn't memorize much, except for the first parallel prose in ancient times "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", he was familiar with it, and he memorized few other parallel prose.

Parallel texts originated in the late Han Dynasty, formed and prevailed in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.After Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan advocated the ancient prose movement in the Tang Dynasty, parallel prose suffered a setback for the first time; after the death of Han and Liu, the influence rose again. Li Shangyin, Wen Tingyun, and Duan Chengshi were all good players in it, and all three ranked No.16, so they are called "36" body".

But these people are basically from before the Song Dynasty. Su Chen doesn't have the advantage of time difference. He knows that those candidates may not be familiar with them!

After entering the Song Dynasty, under the leadership of Ouyang Xiu and others, the ancient prose movement set off a second round of climax, prompting everyone to produce prose, but parallel prose has gradually declined since then.In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, stereotyped essays were an upgraded version of parallel essays, with more requirements. However, there were no famous essays worthy of praise for purely exam-oriented essays.

Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It can be said that these three exam questions are not very specific. It seems that Han Xizai played a role and influenced Li Yu's questions. This kind of hazy questions is more suitable for him to apply the Song poems and Essay again.

This time, Su Chen is determined to win the champion of Chunwei!
