Prime Minister

Chapter 435

Everyone thinks about Zhang Yue's poems.

One person asked Su Shi, "Brother Zizhan, how about this poem?"

Su Shi said: "It's very good, it's natural and fresh, but it's rich in Zen principles."

An official said: "When the half-acre square pond is opened, the sky, clouds and shadows linger together. It is said that the water in the Panchi is like a mirror, reflecting the sky, clouds and shadows. Why is the water in the Panchi so clear? It is because there is running water at the source."

"Used in reading, reading is to lead living water into the pool, and living water into stagnant water, so my heart is clear, reflecting thousands of things like a mirror, wonderful! Wonderful!"

All the officials nodded one after another. This comment can be said to be very good.

"Xuan Miao! These words can be said to be 'Gou Rixin, day by day, and day by day. How can I be a scholar? It's just reading!"

"The words are rich in philosophy. Seeing the meaning of Zen in small things is beyond ordinary people's opinion. He really deserves to be the number one scholar! It can be seen that his knowledge is profound and profound, and his attainments are extraordinary!"

"It's no wonder that today's learning, making achievements with articles, and being good at work, is really unique in the world!"

All the candidates below showed a look of joy and sincerity.

After Zhang Yue finished speaking, he said to the examinees: "Since ancient times, there have been only those who have learned but are not able, and those who have not been able to learn. If you ask what is the use of reading? Maybe it is here."

"Students are taught!" All the candidates bowed and said together.

After speaking, it is a banquet.

Everyone had a banquet in the Gongyuan, and the examiners took turns to toast with Zhang Yue.

When it was Su Shi's turn, he first asked Zhang Yue about the current situation of his father and younger brother Ziyou.

Su Zhe was originally appointed to be an official in Shangzhou. Shangzhou is adjacent to Fengxiang Mansion. If the two brothers are officials here, they will often meet each other.Zhang Dun was an official in Shangluo County, Shangzhou.

The two met when they were examiners last year. At that time, the chief examiner was Liu Chang, Liu Yuan's father. They were regarded as the world's leading heroes, unmatched by anyone, so they were treated with the courtesy of national scholars everywhere.

Su Shi and Zhang Dun have often traveled together since they met.

It's a pity that Su Zhe was blocked by Wang Anshi's return of the title, otherwise the three of them would have been together.

In the second year of Zhiping in another time and space history, Su Zhe failed to promote officials for Shangzhou and changed to Daming Mansion as an official.Su Shi wrote "Three Poems of Hearing the Child in Sickness and Not Going to Shangzhou".

Su Shi persuaded his younger brother in the poem, "Only the king city is the most hidden, and thousands of people are hidden like a sea." '

’ I heard from Zhang Zi recently that the merchants of the bitter way are looking for you. Zhang Zi was Zhang Dun who told him that the people in Shangzhou were looking forward to his coming.

Now that Su Shi heard about the recent situation of his father and younger brother from Zhang Yue, his concern was beyond words.

Zhang Yue knew that the two brothers sent each other a poem every month, but even so, Su Shi still missed Su Zhe very much.

Zhang Yue thought of the first poem of the ages, "When Will the Bright Moon Come?" Zhang Yue thought it was written by missing his lover when he first read it, but later he saw that it was written by Su Shi missing his younger brother.

Seeing Su Shi like this, Zhang Yue almost pirated the phrase "I hope you will live a long time, and we will share the joys and joys of thousands of miles".

Seeing that Zhang Yue was resisting the urge to steal poems, Su Shi thought why he hesitated to speak and asked, "When will Duzhi leave?"

Zhang Yue said: "I'm going to believe in the capital now, but it's uncertain when I go!"

Su Shi said: "It's just right, tomorrow I will travel to Nanshan with the examiner, and Du will be with us."

It is a blessing in life to be able to make such a good friend as Su Shi and travel with him, and Zhang Yue readily agreed.

And the examiners applauded loudly.

Zhang Yue said to Cai: "Brother Chizheng will go with me."

Cai Que smiled and said, "I still don't want to forget it."

It is also a good thing for literati and bureaucrats to travel together and write poems and couplets.

The next day, everyone went to Nanshan, accompanied by two other examiners, and stayed in Nilv outside Xianyou Temple that day.

Xianyou Temple was built by Emperor Yizong of the Tang Dynasty. There were originally three temples here, separated by the Heihe River, Xianyou Temple in the south, also known as Nan Temple, and Zhongxing Temple in the north, also known as Bei Temple!
The reason why it is called Xianyou is that it is said that Nongyu and Xiao Shi took a dragon to travel together on the fairy tour here.

There was just an autumn rain outside, and the sound of rain ticking outside the inn, and occasionally the sound of bells came to the inn.

The hostel is brightly lit, and everyone is drinking and composing poems.

Zhang Yue drank three cups of wine in a row, but outside the hall Su Shi was chatting with a young novice in high spirits. Seeing this scene, Zhang Dun said to the left and right: "Brother Zizhan usually likes to make friends with monks and Taoists."

Another person laughed and said: "He usually said, 'I can accompany the Jade Emperor, and I can accompany the beggars in Beitian Courtyard. I can see that there is no bad person in the world!', so no matter who you are, you can meet!"

Everyone laughed: "Zizhan is always like this."

At this time, Su Shi returned with great interest, and everyone asked, "What did Zi Zhan ask?"

Su Shi said with a smile: "I heard that there is a fairy pool on the way to Zhongxing Temple. The scenery is amazing. I just happened to take a look along the way!"

Everyone laughed and said, "I see."

Immediately, everyone joined in poetry, drinking and talking at night.

At this time, the monk just brought a table of vegetarian food, and everyone else was vying to drink and have no intention of eating, but Su Shi was different, but seeing that he was not in a hurry, he would eat enough by himself first, and finally everyone said, why didn't brother Zizhan make a poem? .

At this time, Su Shi burped, and Fang came to the venue to compose a poem as if he was belated.

Su Shi is the emperor in the poem, so he didn't know what to do. When he appeared in the couplet poem, everyone was overshadowed.He occasionally uses a few slang and vulgar sentences in his poems, but they are also excellent.

Therefore, a random sentence in his poems reaches the point that no one can reach.

Zhang Yue remembered that when Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou, a prostitute named Li Yi begged him for a poem.

Su Shi wrote casually to "Dongpo lived in Huangzhou for four years, and Li Yi was silent about what happened." '

Why haven't I written a poem about Li Yi in the four years since I came to Huangzhou?
These two sentences are unremarkable. After Su Shi finished writing, he continued to drink and eat. After eating more than half of it, Li Yi asked Su Shi to finish it.

Su Shi swiped his brush to continue the last two sentences, but it was like Xichuan Du Gongbu, although Begonia was good at not singing poems.

It's as if Du Fu wrote all kinds of poems about flowers when he was in Xichuan, but he didn't mention the most famous crabapple in Xichuan, because the most beautiful ones don't need to be written in poems.

Su Shi wrote many poems like this in his life.

Su Shi is doing such a great job at the poetry meeting at the moment. Occasionally, a sentence seems to be ordinary, and everyone will say that the next sentence is so wonderful, but the next sentence Su Shi can write is extremely wonderful, so everyone is slapped in the face.

Su Shi was born with this kind of talent, even if he chanted to the extreme like Jia Dao, he would never reach his level.

Zhang Yue's reading is Jia Dao's first-class. Through constant chanting and finding new ways, he believes that continuous work and continuous reading can be achieved step by step, but this does not prevent him from admiring Su Shi.

Really worthy of being the number one literati in ancient and modern times, Zhang Yue could only sigh in his heart, fortunately, the scientific research was based on policy theory, otherwise he would not be able to compete with Su Shi if he didn't open the account.

Getting up early the next day, everyone went to Xianyou Lake.

This Xianyou Lake is on the mountain, and the mountain is getting higher and higher along the way.

Su Shi chatted with Zhang Yue.

But see Zhang Yueyan said: "Back then when Bai Letian visited Dalin Temple in Lushan Mountain, he wrote that 'the world is full of beauty in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom. There is no place to look for the spring return of eternal regret, and I don't know where to turn it!'"

"I thought it was wrong at first. In April, when all the flowers are gone, why are the peach blossoms in full bloom? But I later learned that the mountains are colder than the mountains, so the Spring Festival Gala on the mountains and the peach blossoms in the mountain temples are still in full bloom in April."

Su Shi said with a smile: "This is also the saying of Du Zhizhi that what is achieved on paper is always superficial, and I know that this matter must be practiced!"

Zhang Yue also smiled and said, "Exactly."

The higher the mountain, the colder it is, but you can see white clouds flying down the mountain suddenly. People walking on the mountain road seem to be stepping on the clouds. Jianshui, along the road from time to time there are woodcutters carrying thorns down the mountain.

Everyone finally reached the ground, but they saw Xianyou Pool sitting under the emerald green mountain wall, the pool was only two feet wide, the center of the pool was dark and the bottom was invisible, and white foam swirled where the water flowed down from the top of the mountain.

At the bottom of the pool is another deep abyss. A big tree in the pool reaches the mountain wall directly, and a horizontal log hangs in the air across the deep pool to reach the mountain wall.

At this moment, an official pointed to the stone wall and said with a smile: "Who dares to write on the stone wall!"

Everyone glanced at it and shook their heads, saying, "Is this life-threatening?"

"If you make a mistake, you will fall off the cliff."

"There is no point in trying such useless courage."

At this time Zhang Dun said to Su Shi: "How about Zizhan giving it a try?"

Seeing this scene, Su Shi shook his head and said, "I'm trembling when I see this! I really don't dare."

Zhang Dun laughed and said, "I'm coming!"

But seeing that Zhang Dun ordered people to tie ropes to his body, after that, Sheyi took the side tree and walked calmly through the horizontal log laid on the pool.

Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, Zhang Dun jumped onto the mountain wall, nonchalantly smothering his writing: "Zhang Dun is here!"

After inscribing the stone wall, Zhang Dun climbed the rope again but his expression remained unchanged. Su Shi couldn't help sighing to Zhang Dun when he saw it: "Zihou will be able to kill people in the future!"

Zhang Dun looked back and smiled, "Zizhan, why do you say that?"

Su Shi said: "He who can judge his own life must be able to kill!"

Zhang Dun laughed when he heard this.

At this time, someone asked again: "Who else wants to go?"

Everyone around said: "Fei Zihou's courage is not as good as before!"

At this time, Zhang Yue saw the place where Zhang Dun had set foot just now, and felt that he could give it a try, so he said, "I would like to go!"

Zhang Dun, Su Shi and others were surprised when they saw it.

Zhang Yue took the pen and ink and put it on his body, imitating Zhang Dun, tied the rope like this, and was pulled by someone behind him, and then walked up the crossbar with the help of a nearby tree.

But seeing the cliffs below the pool, once you stumble and fall into the pool, you will definitely... die.

Zhang Yue withdrew his eyes and concentrated his mind, only listening to the sound of the pool water, countless water droplets splashed on his face, which hurt slightly.

Walking to the center of the crossbar, Ji Wuzhang Yue raised his hands as a balance and walked on the crossbar, one step at a time... Finally, he stepped on the cliff.

Zhang Yueru wrote on the cliff: "Su Shi...!"

But seeing that Zhang Yue not only wrote the names of Su Shi, but also the names of the two companions on the cliff. When the ink was not enough, he picked up the pen and tapped the ink cartridge.When everyone went to the mountain to write poems together, they would write on paper as soon as they had good lines, for fear of forgetting them, so they all carried ink cartridges.

"... Zhang Yue is here!"

Zhang Yue was the last one to finish writing his name, and then he returned with a smile and said, "Brother Zizhan, what do you have to say?"

Su Shi stroked the chapter over his back, and complained: "It's really not worth it."

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "It's okay, let's do it now! Brother Zizhan, read the ink book on the cliff!"

Su Shi said with a smile: "San Lang's book is unparalleled in the world!"

After all, both of them laughed.
