Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 516 Are All Famous Articles
In the Imperial Palace of the Southern Tang Dynasty, in the Royal Study Room.

Li Yu was talking with officials Han Xizai, Xu Xuan, Zhong Mo, Gao Yue, Pan You, and Li Pingping. They first talked about reform matters, but today is Chunwei, so the topic inevitably turned to this.

"My dear friends, who do you think will be the No. [-] scholar this time?"

Li Yu smiled and looked at these important ministers and elders.

Most of the people in the house are Han Dang and Xin Dang, and the Song Dang has lost some power recently.

Because of Su Chen, Han Xizai, Xu Xuan and others, who had made recommendations, naturally rose to the top, and had confidence and bargaining chips in front of Li Yu.

After all, both the empress and the second prince were cured by Su Chen. This has a lot to do with Han Xizai's vigorous excavation and recommendation.

"Haha, the number one scholar, I think it must be Jiangzuo Sulang." Gao Yue spoke first.

Zhong Mo also said: "That's right, Su Chen's talent, regardless of his poems and articles, has written many famous articles, he is already known as the number one talented scholar in Jiangzuo, this time the number one scholar must be him. "

Xu Xuan nodded: "Agreed."

Pan You, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy and the assistant governor of the Guangzheng Yuan, smiled and said: "That's not necessarily true. This time, there are also several great talents in Xie Yuan from various state capitals, such as Lu Jing from Hongzhou Xie Yuan, Cui Dongsheng from Xinzhou Xie Yuan, and Taixue. Chen Junji, a Gongsheng student, is very talented. This kind of imperial examination pays attention to deducting questions, has family and country feelings, and conforms to the current situation. It is not a free play. It may not be as arbitrary as writing poems. .”

"It makes sense!" Li Ping supported his friend Pan Youcheng.

Li Yu looked at Han Xizai and asked jokingly, "Master Han, what do you think?"

Han Xizai smiled slightly, and said: "The veteran also thinks that Su Chen will definitely win the first prize."

"So confident?" Li Yu was surprised.

The number one scholar in the imperial examination is not like writing poetry, it all depends on talent.Otherwise, people like Li Bai, Du Fu, and Li Shangyin should have been champions long ago.

But Han Xizai is confident, because he has known the standard of the exam questions in advance from Li Yu. It is not a routine and boring question. There are only three exam questions this year, and it is relatively free, so it can better experience talent.

This is also what Han Xizai kept talking to Li Yu after taking over the task of the imperial examination, and it was finally adopted.

In fact, Li Yu also wanted to see if Su Chen could write a famous prose like "The Story of Yueyang Tower" if there were not so many restrictions, which would be comparable to the ancient articles such as "The Story of the Former Teacher" and "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring" .

"Let's wait and see!"

Han Xizai smiled slightly, and didn't explain much. Everything needs to be announced after the scientific examination is over and the papers are judged.

At this time, in the examination room of the Gongyuan, Su Chen was writing vigorously, as if with the help of a god.

The first question is to write an ancient poem with seven character quatrains around a mountain.

Su Chen thought of Su Shi's "Tixi Forest Wall"

"Look at the ridge and the side into the peak, the distance is different."

"I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, I just live in this mountain."

It fits perfectly, perfect fit!
Moreover, this poem is also a work handed down from generation to generation, and it definitely has a certain status among ancient poems, especially in the poems written, it must definitely advance to the top few.

After Su Chen finished writing this song, he turned to the second question.

For this question, you need to write a long and short sentence, that is, to write words.

He pondered for a moment, and thought of Su Shi's "Nian Nujiao-Chibi Nostalgia".

The name of this "Niannujiao", also known as "Feng Jiangyue", was named after a geisha named Niannu in the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty.

Anyway, as long as it is not a new creation, it can be justified.

The content of this poem is definitely a masterpiece through the ages:

"The great river goes east, the waves wash away, and a romantic person through the ages."

"On the west side of the old fortress, the human way is, Zhou Lang Chibi of the Three Kingdoms."

"The rocks pierced through the sky, the stormy waves hit the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up."

"Picturesque, a moment how many hero."

"Reminiscent of Gongjin's time, Xiao Qiao was married for the first time, and she was majestic."

"Feather fan and scarf, while talking and laughing, the mast and scull are wiped out in ashes."

"Fantasy in the old place, laugh at me passionately, young and mature."

"Life is like a dream, and one of them is still in Jiangyue."

Su Chen wrote it out on the draft now, replaced "early and mature" with "young and mature", and then copied it again on the official answer sheet.In order to give people the impression that he didn't prepare it in advance, he deliberately ticked off the draft and even changed a few words.

At that time, if the draft paper is taken up, someone who is interested will probably check it.

The first two questions have been answered successfully, and the third question is to write a prose Chinese Fu article with rhyme, no less than [-] words, the theme can be travel notes, it can be Yongzhi.

After reading this question, Su Chen felt like laughing. Was this intentional to take care of him? Because he had just written "Yueyang Tower" in Qiuwei last year, and this time there was even a travel note reminder in the question, which was clearly for his convenience. , know that he is good at this.

"Why don't you write a story about the Drunkard's Pavilion?"

Su Chen thought like this in his heart, but he shook his head and denied it. Ouyang Xiu's "The Drunkard's Pavilion" was obviously written by him in his later years. He was indifferent to life, yearning for drinking and having fun, and returning to the mountains and forests. It was not suitable for him at a young age. Promising young people who are champions and enter official careers.

"Then which one to choose?"

Su Chen thought hard, and it seemed that there were not many articles that he could memorize.

This has nothing to do with memory, it's purely at the beginning, and I didn't go through so many ancient proses of Song and Ming Dynasties carefully.

"Hey, when the book is used up, I will hate less!"

Su Chen smiled wryly, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly thought of the prose that was as famous as "The Story of Yueyang Tower", "The Story of the Drunkard's Pavilion" and "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring" - Su Shi's "Ode to the Former Red Cliff", an article of the same level.

After getting the direction, Su Chen picked up the pen and started to write on the draft paper.

The first sentence of the original text is "In the autumn of Renxu, at the end of the seventh month, Su Zi and his guests went boating under the Red Cliff."

There is a time and a place here, Su Chen thought about it, the time was wrong, last year was the second year of Qiande in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was also the year of the Jiazi Rat, the time he traveled by boat was in September, someone knew that.

Therefore, it should be revised as: "In the autumn of Jiazi, when the ninth month is over, Su Zi and his guests go boating and swimming under the Red Cliff."

Su Chen didn't change the "Su Zi" in the sentence, because his surname is also "Su", it was prepared for him!
Su Chen is very fortunate that he has the same surname as Su Shi, a great writer. When copying the text, his psychological burden is much weaker. Maybe it was related to his ancestor more than 1000 years ago.

Next, enter the text of the article: "The breeze is coming, the water is not moving. The wine belongs to the guest, and the poem of the bright moon is recited, and the chapter of the song is graceful. Shaoyan, the moon rises above Dongshan, wandering between bullfights. Bailu Hengjiang, water Reaching Tian Haohao is like Feng Xu's control of the wind, without knowing where it ends; fluttering is like leaving the world alone, becoming immortal and ascending to immortality."

Su Chen scribbled, scribbled, and scribbled on the draft paper, and finally finished it. He stretched his wrist and copied it again.

"Only the cool breeze on the river, and the bright moon in the mountains, the ear hears it and becomes the sound, and the eye meets it and it becomes the color, there is no limit to taking it, and it is inexhaustible."

When Su Chen finished writing the last sentence "The face and the pillow are in the boat, I don't know the whiteness of the east", he believed that after this spring, his talent and reputation will reach a new height!
It's hard not to think of the three famous pieces of Su Shi's popularity!
