Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 518

On the sixth day after Chunwei, the judging was basically over.

After Su Chen's paper was transcribed by Han Xizai first, it was sent directly to the imperial study in the palace, where Li Yu read it first.

""Tixi Forest Wall": When viewed horizontally, it forms mountains and peaks, with different heights from near and far."

Li Yu sat on the chair in the imperial study room. After seeing this seven-character quatrain, his eyes lit up and he became more and more surprised.

After reading it, he clapped his hands and exclaimed: "This seven-character quatrain is as good as the poetry of Li Bai and Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty."

In the imperial study room, Pan You and Li Ping hadn't seen it yet, but they were surprised to hear such a high evaluation from Li Yu.

Afterwards, Li Yu began to see "Nian Nujiao-Chibi Nostalgia" again, and he was so excited that he walked back and forth, pacing, and recited:

"The great river goes east, the waves wash away, the eternal romantic man"

After reading this poem, several ministers in the imperial study were also shocked.

Such literary talent, lofty sentiments, and majestic poetry can be said to have never been seen before, breaking the style of Huajian Ci.

You must know that during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the Huajian School of Ci was very popular, inheriting the graceful style of Wen Tingyun and Wei Zhuang. The limitation of writing boudoir love.

The reason for its formation is also because from the end of Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, warlords fought in chaos, the common people were precarious, and literati did not achieve anything in their official careers. The change of dynasties also made most literati unable to adapt and find no sustenance.

Although the literati in this period were not as indulgent as those in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the situation was similar.Especially the wealthy nobles and scholar-bureaucrats in Xichuan and Jiangnan lived a life of singing and dancing.

Hearing such unrestrained words suddenly, he felt his blood boil a little.

It is not an exaggeration to say it out of the school!
"This poem is full of pride and domineering, very amazing!"

"Yeah, it's amazing."

"This Su Chen really deserves his reputation, well-deserved reputation!"

Pan You and the others were also excited and admired.

Han Xizai stroked his beard and smiled, not to mention how happy he was.

Whoever praises Su Chen at the moment, he will be gratified, because he has already regarded Su Chen as your own disciple, a successor scholar, and your own successor.

In fact, Han Xizai valued Su Chen more than his own sons.

Even if one of his sons is lost, Han Xizai will not be too sad, but to him, Su Chen is the impetus and heir to his future political ambitions.

Han Xizai felt that whether his name would last forever had a lot to do with Su Chen.

What a blessing!

"That's right, Jiangzuo Sulang, you are so talented!"

Li Yu was a little admired, and looked at the article again with expectant eyes.

He has always heard that Su Chen wrote relatively few articles, which may be due to his shortcoming. The last time he suddenly compiled "Yueyang Tower", will he write a famous article that can be handed down this time?

""Red Cliff Fu": In the autumn of Jiazi, when September is over, Su Zi and his guests go boating and swimming under the Red Cliff"

Li Yu finished it in one go, and after reading this article, his hands trembled slightly, his blood was boiling, and his heart was extremely excited.

What a talent this Su Chen is!
For a long time, Li Yu has been conceited about his talent, and feels that his literary talent is definitely higher than those scholars in Jiangnan.

Now when I see Su Chen's seven-character quatrains, chanting Nujiao Ci, Chibi Fu, etc., I am full of admiration and sigh to myself!

"Absolutely!"

After Li Yu was excited, he sighed, feeling a little frustrated in his heart, feeling that in front of Su Chen, his thesis was much inferior.

The poems and articles I wrote before can't be compared with what Su Chen wrote!
Pan You and the others took over the poems and essays, carefully observed and appreciated them, and after silently reading them, they were also shocked.

Jiangnan's national strength is declining, but under daily circumstances, such a great talent can appear, this is destined to be famous forever!

Han Xizai smiled and said, "I'm going to choose Su Chen as the number one scholar. The officials and ministers have no objection!"

Li Yu heard the words, smiled dryly, and nodded slightly.

Even though he felt a little jealous in his heart, he had to admit that it was only natural for Su Chen to be number one.

Su Chen has been peacefully waiting at home for the announcement of the imperial examination results for the past few days, not too worried.

After all, he used three of Su Shi's poems and articles. It can be said that his literary talent is so outstanding that it is enough to be proud of the world.

Even if Li Yu saw it, he had to admire it.

Therefore, Su Chen felt that the position of the number one scholar was a sure thing.

If it is in the Song Dynasty in the north, it is really hard to say, because the imperial examinations, literary talent is second, pay attention to the imperial examination articles, the theory of making words, applying them, and governing the country.

Given a topic, develop it around the topic, and pay attention to the real talents of the on-the-spot exam. Su Chen passed by, and it is useless to just be memorized by some poems and articles.

Only in the Southern Tang Dynasty, from the monarch to the scholar-officials, they all focused on literature and ignored practicality, so it was suitable for Su Chen's exam this time.Coupled with Han Xizai's cooperation, the topic was broad and broad, so it was convenient for Su Chen to quote famous poems.

It can be said that these two conditions are the key, otherwise, it would be very difficult for Su Chen to get into the top three with confidence.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when the rankings would be released, Su Chen did not go outside the Gongyuan wall to look at the rankings, but Peng Qingqing and Jing Yun rushed back to tell the news of his being the No. [-] scholar.

"I've won, Su Chen, you've won, I've made a fortune, haha!" Peng Jingjing was already laughing a little madly.

"Young Master Su, you have won the first prize." Jing Yun panted, but also reported excitedly.

Su Chen stood in the courtyard, nodded slightly, and stood with a smile on his face. He didn't show any gaffe, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

With this champion status, it is easier for him to gain a foothold in this era.

Next, his goal is to enter the court, assist Han Xizai, complete a series of political reforms, and strive to revive the Southern Tang Dynasty and resist the attack of the Northern Song Dynasty.

As long as Nantang is preserved, his status, property, and privileges can be preserved.

"Brother Su Chen really won the number one prize, that's great." Yang Ling'er couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, she was really happy for her righteous brother.

A while later, an official who delivered the list came to the Su Mansion, congratulated Su Chen and delivered the list, and conveyed it on behalf of the imperial court, making it a household name.

Outside the Su residence, many people gathered around to watch the excitement.

An official said respectfully: "Congratulations to the number one scholar, please enter the palace at the time of tomorrow, and the officials will pass the roll call in the Jinluan Hall. After hand-picking the number one scholar, the second place, Tanhua and the Jinshi, there will be a ceremony of thanking you, and you will be given a horse to parade through the streets and participate in the concert. Jiang Yan."

"Understood." After Su Chen finished speaking, he asked Linger to take the reward money and reward the official messenger who announced the good news.

"I'll take my leave and I won't bother Zhuangyuanlang anymore." The official received the reward and left tactfully.

Su Chen turned around, looked at the excited Peng Jingjing and Yang Linger, and smiled. After returning to Nantang for more than a year, he finally turned over completely.
