One Thought Feixian

Chapter 702 Hu Yunsheng

Emperor Qingtian built canals to connect all directions, established rituals to educate the world, and built grand ceremonies to pass on through the ages.

In ancient times, among the imperial examinations, there were literary champions and military champions.

However, in the Central Dynasty, there was no distinction between civil and military. No matter how strong or weak, all scientific examinations were conducted, and articles and scriptures were used to define pros and cons, thus greatly improving the status of scholars.

Poor in reading, rich in martial arts.

For those poor people, if there is no adventure, the only chance to get ahead and change their destiny is the imperial examination.

Even if you can't practice martial arts and have no strength to restrain a chicken, as long as you read the book well and understand moral articles, you can still stand out and make your ancestors shine.

As a result, countless academies sprang up in the central dynasty and the major state capitals, and countless talented people from poor families emerged.

Among them, headed by Guozijian, it is the highest institution of the Central Dynasty and a holy place for scholars in the world.

Huangfu Qingtian had also studied at the Imperial Academy, the Grand Master said that if he could enter it, it would be like studying with the Emperor, what an honor?

However, it is more difficult to enter the Imperial College to study than to ascend to the sky.

Etiquette and ceremonies are things highly respected by scholars.

This is also the reason why the Central Dynasty was so prosperous.

Useless is a scholar, this sentence deeply stimulated all the scholars, everyone was angry, blood spattered five steps, if it wasn't for the fierce tiger warriors on that building boat, I am afraid they would have been attacked by crowds.

"Good word!"

Jiang Yi looked at the words on the cloth, but secretly admired.

This pair of characters, flowing clouds and flowing water, was completed in one go, absolutely no more than ten breaths, between the strokes, the ingenuity, the charm, the charm, and the softness.

The attainments of the pen are extraordinary?
Ordinary men write like a god, vigorous and powerful, showing a heroic spirit. Only women can write such delicate and soft characters.

From the lines between these words, Jiang Yi could see that the owner of the boat was a woman.

However, if a woman dares to write this kind of pair, openly provoking the authority of scholars in the world, if she is not crazy, she has another purpose.

In short, Jiang Yi felt that the owner of the ship was not simple.

"It's useless to be a scholar... This is the first couplet, and the second couplet is not right, if you don't do it well, you'll just bring yourself to humiliate yourself." Gu Heng said in a deep voice.

Many scholars, emotionally angry, knew that using force would not gain any advantage, and the seven or eight fierce tiger warriors in front of the building boat could finish them off, so they could only calm down gradually, looked at the cloth scroll, and began to meditate.

If they can match the second couplet, then they will be able to regain their position and defend the dignity of scholars.

Everyone, whether they are scholars or not, stared at the Shanglian at this moment and began to think hard.

There are even some scholars, holding a pen and paper, shaking their heads, sketching, thinking and writing, looking very serious, but after a while, they still get nothing.

"It's too difficult to join the league!"

Many people shook their heads and couldn't help but say.

Some people also showed righteous indignation, saying that this is not a match at all, but just a trick by the owner of the building to make things difficult for everyone.

"The owner of this building boat has already said that anyone who can match the lower couplet can go on the building boat and go to the capital together, and there will be ten thousand taels of silver as a gift."

"Ten thousand taels of silver? Is there such a good thing?"

"With this ten thousand taels of silver, all the expenses of the scientific research are enough."

"The owner of this boat is really generous. A pair of couplets is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. It's really worth a word."

"Hmph! This couplet is so easy to match. If you look at those scholars, who have frowning faces and haven't matched it for a long time, you know it's not easy."

There were bursts of discussions among the crowd.

Many of the scholars present were from humble backgrounds and their families were poor. Some of them even sold their property to raise money for traveling to Beijing for the exam.

1 taels of silver is a great temptation to them.

What's more, scholars pay attention to decentness. Even if they are poor, they dress upright, without any mess, and follow the etiquette. If they can take such a luxurious boat to the capital, it will be quite face-saving, and it is also an enviable thing.

Of course, these are just material conditions. Even if they don't, they still have to fight for the scholars.

But the idea is good, but it is difficult to actually implement it.

A whole stick of incense passed, but still no one said a word, the scene was deadly silent, and many people had ugly expressions on their faces.

"A certain pair can't even match up, and why did he go to Beijing to take part in some scientific examination, haha..." Suddenly, a young scholar became crazy because he couldn't match up.

This young scholar was wearing a blue gown, which was very old, but it was washed clean and smooth.

"This man's name is Sun Zhi. He is erudite and talented. He has taken the imperial examination twice, but unfortunately he failed both times. He didn't get any fame. This is the third time he has taken the imperial examination. I didn't expect that before he arrived in the capital, he would be caught by a pair of opponents." The kid was driven crazy."

Among the crowd, someone recognized this person and said with a sigh.

"The imperial examination is an opportunity for these humble scholars to get ahead, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Such things are not uncommon in the Central Dynasty."

Soon, this young scholar named Sun Zhi was framed.

A pair of couplets, I don't know how many people have stumped.

"Miss, it's too difficult for you to go to the couplet. Tweety thinks about it for a long time and still can't figure it out, she's at a loss." On the building boat, the maid Tweety shook her head like a rattle, with a look of despair on her face.

"Miss, do you have any enmity with them? Why do you make such a difficult match to embarrass these scholars? Most of them come from poor families, and they have worked so hard to study for so many years just to wait for this. It's not easy."

"Efforts do not necessarily result in gains, hard work does not necessarily lead to success!"

The girl withdrew her gaze and said coldly: "Every imperial examination, people from all over the world flock to Beijing to take the exam. Everyone thinks that they can stand out and soar into the sky, but how many really succeed? Do you think the imperial examination depends on Is it luck? No...it depends on real talent and learning, there is no luck at all.

The scientific examination is even more severe than this, it is a hundred times more difficult, a thousand times more difficult, impromptu, and everything, these scholars, if they can't even match this couplet, then when they arrive in the capital, they will only make a trip once in a while, it is better to give up early, Going back home, you can also save a fortune for the family and do some small business, so that you can also live a good life, which is better than daydreaming. "

While speaking, she suddenly looked into the distance: "This Pingzhou is poor, and it seems that there are no decent talents..."

Tweety looked at her young lady, opened her mouth, and wanted to refute something, but in the end she didn't say anything, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

She was also born in poverty, and she deeply knows the hardships and sweat those people put in to change their destiny.

It's a pity, my young lady is born noble, and only sees success or failure, so how can she understand this?

... "This pair is too difficult, I can't think of it!" Lu Yan said giving up.

"I can't think of it either!" Meng Chang shook his head.

"No one can be right!" Fan Ruhua looked around and said.

"It's really nerve-wracking, I really don't like this feeling, it's better to practice martial arts well than anything else." Liu Qingquan said.

As soon as these words came out, they immediately received many approving looks.

Ying Ning stood aside with a dazed look on her face. She could understand human characters, but she didn't know what couplets were.

Jiang Qianye stood aside, bored. In his eyes, there was only the difference between the living and the dead.

"Jiang Yi, you have read a lot of books in Dream Soul Sect these years, can you tell me?" Wen Hongyu suddenly looked at Jiang Yi.

"Ten years in the cold window, wasted time, useless as a scholar..." Jiang Yi read the first couplet lightly in his mouth, and nodded: "It is possible!"

However, at this moment, there was an exclamation.

"Look, it's the students from Lushan Academy!"

"This Lushan Academy is the largest academy in Pingzhou. The dean is a student of the grand master. He once held an official position in Kyoto. Later, he returned to his hometown with rich clothes and fine clothes. He returned to Pingzhou to establish an academy to spread morality, scriptures, and articles. The governor personally came to Go congratulate."

"Look, the person in charge is a student of Lushan Academy, named Hu Yunsheng, who is knowledgeable, full of economics, and able to write moral articles, which is second to none in Lushan Academy."

"I'm afraid you don't know that this Hu Yunsheng is the son of the governor's mansion. He has a prominent status and is not from a poor family. This time he will go to the capital to take part in the scientific examination, and he is given high hopes by Lushan Academy."

"Among these rich officials and wealthy families, the common sons of ordinary sons have no inheritance rights at all, and they can't even practice martial arts, so this Hu Yunsheng had to enter Lushan Academy and study hard. If he can get a title in the imperial examination, his status will undergo earth-shaking changes. Then the right of inheritance is hard to say."

... Immediately there was a heated discussion around.

Jiang Yi and the others followed suit and saw that the crowd separated, and more than a dozen people came from a distance, all wearing light blue long gowns, with their hair tied up, full of vigor and high spirits. The distance between them is one foot, not the slightest difference, which makes people feel a style of study, and etiquette is in it.

Especially the leader, tall and straight, is a man of eighteen or nineteen years old, handsome, always with a faint smile on his face, which caused countless girls to scream and express their hearts secretly.

Such a man shines brightly and attracts everyone's attention. He can be called a dragon and phoenix among men.

This person seemed to be very famous in Pingzhou Prefecture. Many people present recognized him as Hu Yunsheng. He came from Lushan Academy and was the son of the governor of Pingzhou.

Even a concubine who has no right of inheritance has an incomparably noble status, far beyond the comparison of other scholars.

The people behind this person are all students of Lushan Academy, exuding a bookish air all over their bodies, but they are all headed by this Hu Yunsheng.

All of a sudden, this Hu Yunsheng became the focus of the audience, and the scenery was infinite.

The woman on the boat upstairs also looked over.
