Saint of the Confucian way

The romance of the Three Kingdoms deified Zhuge Liang too much, which led many people to overestimate Zhuge Liang's military talent. It also led some people to criticize Zhuge Liang as useless with official history and believe that Zhuge Liang was not so great, which was caused by the novel of the romance of the Three Kingdoms.

However, those who have really read the official history of the annals of the Three Kingdoms will not underestimate Zhuge Liang, because the annals of the Three Kingdoms has 65 volumes. Except for the necessary emperors, Zhuge Liang is the only one who occupies one volume alone.

Zhuge Liang's best talent is not to lead the war, but to govern the country. He is a talent, not a handsome talent.

Before the romance of the Three Kingdoms, a large number of scholars praised Zhuge Liang. The most important thing is that Zhuge Liang entered the "Confucius Temple" and was granted the title of pre Confucianism, which was in a great position in ancient times. It was not Luo Guanzhong who could let him in by writing a novel.

Before the romance of the Three Kingdoms was written, Zhuge Liang's military talent was recognized by many militarists.

Sima Yi saw Zhuge Liang's camp and praised it as a "genius in the world". He also pointed out Zhuge Liang's shortcomings in military affairs, but he dared not criticize Zhuge Liang's ability to govern the country.

Li Jing also admired Zhuge Liang's military talent.

Tang Xuanzong set up a "martial Temple" to worship the ten greatest militarists in ancient times, including Zhuge Liang. Although Tang Xuanzong raised Zhuge Liang's military talent too much, it is enough to prove that Zhuge Liang made some achievements in the military.

Zhuge Liang is the only one in the Confucian and martial temples.

In the Shengyuan continent, Zhuge Liang won the world's glory because he had protected the rivers and mountains of Shu for a hundred years. He was invited to the imperial examination every year, without exception.

According to historical records, Zhuge Liang did not forget to restore the Han Dynasty before his death, unified the Shengyuan continent, and personally led the troops to fight before the deadline, but there were also semi saints in the enemy country. Finally, his life was exhausted and he died in wuzhangyuan.

The reason why Fang Yun attaches great importance to Zhuge Liang is that there are many poems about Zhuge Liang, and they have not appeared in Shengyuan continent. However, Shengyuan continent has a very magical power of "calling the saint".

Fang Yun straightened out the differences between the two Zhuge Liang and continued to write quickly.

After that, he encountered questions related to the other two semi Saint examiners, which Fang Yun remembered, and new books were added to the world of strange books.

Fang Yun quickly answered the first three papers. Most of them were very simple, but three questions were very difficult. One question even laid a text trap, which may not be answered correctly according to the book. Fortunately, Fang Yun once lived in the era of the information explosion, and the word game is not worth mentioning in his eyes.

This is only the simplest test for children and students. It is more difficult for scholars to invite holy words, but what is really difficult is poetry, Scripture and strategy.

The later test question is to write the Ci Fu of all saints, followed by filling in the blank. It may be difficult for others, but it is very simple for the other party.

Brush writing is very slow. At noon, Fang Yun only wrote about the works of Confucius and the six Asian saints. It is the first seven questions. It is not uncommon at all, and most of the candidates can understand them.

The remaining 11 questions come from other semi saints. Among them, three semi saints each have one famous article, which Fang Yun has memorized and has been stored in the world of strange books.

After answering all the questions, Fang Yun put down his brush and rubbed his sore wrist.

"Dong! Dong!"

The two gongs just sounded, and Fang Yun immediately knew that it was two o'clock in the afternoon.

The official time of Shengyuan mainland is still twelve hour system, but a hundred years ago, in order to make the time more accurate, the craftsman of Gongshu family divided the day into two twelve hours. Because the new time unit is only half of an hour, it is called hour and hour is big hour. After all, numbers are more convenient than words. Like cursive script, they are very popular in the army, and then gradually spread among the people.

In another hour, I will close the paper, and then I will send out the test paper of poetry.

Fang Yun checked carefully for an hour. There was no stain or typo, and he answered all the questions correctly.

"It's a pity that I haven't practiced calligraphy before. It's a little bad. It's customary to lower the grade. A can't get a grade, but I should get a grade B. when I finish the exam, I must practice calligraphy hard. I can't practice calligraphy in Shengyuan."

Finally, Fang Yun wrote his test mark, name and address in the designated place.

Soon, the Gong rang three times, and the carriage came again. There was a low noise and complaints nearby. Obviously, most people couldn't finish the answer and felt that there was not enough time.

The person who issued the volume gave the poetry volume to Fang Yun, and then took away the 30 test papers of "please holy words".

Fang Yun took a closer look at the title of his poems and put his mind at ease. He didn't ask for the necessary level, but asked for rhyme and deduction. Five character, seven character, quatrains, regular poems, CI, parallel prose or Fu can all be used.

In addition to parallel prose and Fu, poetry requires one of the four rhymes of Yaheng, Shao, East and yuan.

Themes are also common. Choose one of the two themes of spring and frontier fortress.

Fang Yun thought for a moment and decided to write a frontier fortress poem, because according to Fang Yun's character, he was bound to choose this way. Don't even think about it.

Fang Yun was at a loss and couldn't write.

"At my present level of poetry, in the fourth grade of a, B, C and D, at most, it is C. It is likely that I will not be able to pass the examination for children, but if I fail to pass the examination for children, I will die!"

Fang Yun pondered for a long time, sighed and recited the wonderful book heaven and earth in his heart.

This time there were no books and no prominent gold characters.

Fang Yun guessed that there might be no fixed answer, so the world of strange books could not be listed accurately.

Therefore, Fang Yun listed the conditions in his heart and bet on one of the four rhymes. If the frontier fortress poetry is to conform to the thought of the main battle, it must be a celebrity work, be sure to test a good ranking and become a child student as much as possible.

Fang Yun picked and chose a poem named "old age" by Du Fu, the poet saint. It is a famous frontier fortress poem with rhymes in line with the horizontal part of the four rhymes.

Fang Yun didn't write it directly on the volume, but wrote it on a piece of white paper as a draft. It's not appropriate to see it after writing. After all, there are too many taboos in the exam.

The content of Suimu is that it is close to the new year, the north is still fighting, and the soldiers in front are bleeding day and night, but the imperial court officials are not fighting with all their strength. The poet has no way to serve the country and criticizes the incompetence of officials.

Jingguo often fights with the wolf barbarians in caoman. It was normal to fight years ago, so Fang Yun is not afraid to stray from the topic.

"I'm a guest at the end of the year, and I still use troops in the corner. The smoke and dust invades the snow ridge..."

While writing here, Fang Yun suddenly stopped writing.

At this time, outside a pavilion near the examination room, the county magistrate and the king of the county literary academy suddenly stood up and looked in the direction of Fang Yun.

They looked at each other for a moment, smiled at each other, and saw deep joy in each other's eyes.

The school of the State Academy of Arts stood up a little later and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you are full of talent. At least Shicheng goes out of the county, or even shichengda mansion. You have made great achievements in education. This year's evaluation must be excellent!"

County Magistrate Cai he said with a smile: "where, Wan Xuezheng and fallacious praise. At present, talent is uncertain, and we can't draw a conclusion easily."

Wan Xuezheng said again, "it should be the prodigy Fang Zhongyong."

County Magistrate Cai hesitated and said, "no, I remember very clearly. Fang Zhongyong is not in that direction."

Cai county magistrate was born as a Jinshi. He has strong talent and can never forget it.

Cai county magistrate had just finished, and the three were surprised to see the direction of Fang Yun's examination room again.

"It's a pity that his talent has faded." county magistrate Cai said and sat down lost.

The county court gentleman sighed, "what a pity."

Wan Xuezheng hurriedly said, "don't worry, you two. Maybe the candidate can continue, not to mention the prodigy hasn't written yet."

Suddenly, the three turned their heads together and looked in the other direction, showing the color of expectation.

After a while, county magistrate Cai smiled and said, "good! Talent is stable. Poetry comes out of the county. In that position, Fang Zhongyong is sitting!"

The county court gentleman brushed his beard and smiled and said, "he is worthy of being a prodigy of the county."

"Congratulations!" the State Academy is congratulating again, and then looks regretfully at the direction of Fang Yun.

In the exam room, Fang Yun put down his brush and frowned.

"This poem doesn't work! I don't even have a child, so I accuse the court minister. The three examiners may not all like it. I'm afraid they will talk about the degradation of the government on the pretext of no merit. Even if the poem is good, it's useless. However, if this poem doesn't work, others are even worse. Some are not good enough, some are too good, some don't charge four rhymes, and some are obviously not what I can write."

Fang Yun thought about it and suddenly crumpled the paper into a ball and put it on the table.

Fang Yun put the test paper in front of him, raised his pen and thought silently. Not long ago, he remembered the breath of spring after the rain, and a famous poem naturally came to his mind.

Fang Yun writes.

spring morning.

Spring sleep without dawn,

Hear birds everywhere;

The sound of wind and rain at night,

How many flowers fall.

One of the masterpieces of Meng Haoran, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty.

Poetry, talent is like a fountain.

Fang Yun immediately felt a warm air flow falling from the sky and reaching deep into his eyebrows.

Fang Yun suddenly stared. Unexpectedly, he was filled with talent in the exam and became a child student!

All the warm air condensed at the "Wen Palace" in the middle of the eyebrows, then exploded and poured into every part of Fang Yun's body, so that Fang Yun's wound beaten last night healed at a miraculous speed.

Fang Yun felt his eyes itchy and blinked involuntarily. His myopia not only healed, but also his eyesight was several times better than that of normal people.

"It's a talent and graceful body! Every time you improve your literary position, all aspects of your body will be enhanced, and your life will also be improved. A great scholar will live one hundred and two hundred years, and a half saint will live two hundred years. When you take good care of your body, even if it's just a child, your physical quality will be better than that of a crack soldier!"

At the same time, Cai county magistrate, not far from the examination room, suddenly jumped up from their chairs and looked in the direction of Fang Yun in disbelief.

"This..." Wan Xuezheng was speechless.

The county court gentleman murmured to himself: "talent reaches the house, which is almost Mingzhou. As long as it is spread a little, it must be a poem of Mingzhou!"

Then the three men changed their faces and screamed at the same time.

"Holy former boy!"

After being admitted to the children's college, you have to enter the holy temple to worship. At that time, you will be filled with talent and officially promoted to the children's college. If you have talent before that, you are the so-called former children's college.

Ordinary children are just "disciples of saints", but the former children are "students of heaven", which is of extraordinary significance, because Confucius and King Wen of Zhou are "students of heaven".

"Shengyuan mainland has a population of billions, and it may not be possible to produce a former child in three years! Shengyou Jingguo! God bless Jingguo!" the county court gentleman was excited and trembled.

County Magistrate Cai took a deep breath and said, "that position is where the poem writing was interrupted just now."
