Chapter 46

After Li forgot his worries and left, Li Ercai led a group of important officials to come slowly.

"Yu Gong, this plum is very lazy." an old man smiled at Li's back in the crowd.

The speaker is one of the eighteen scholars. The Imperial College offered wine offerings. The scientific examination of the sage Confucius was held by Shangshu province. Because it is mostly held in spring, it is also called "Chunwei", which means the examination room.

The selection of scholars in the Tang Dynasty depends not only on the examination results, but also on the recommendation of famous people. Therefore, the examinees rushed to Gongqing's family before the examination and presented their representative works to them, which is called voting papers.

This kind of thing is seriously damaging the original intention of the imperial examination.

Originally, I wanted to give my children a chance to be promoted, but because I voted for the exam, I made my family worship under the aristocratic family one after another. The so-called "no poor family at the top and no noble family at the bottom" is caused by this reason.

In Li Er's opinion, the aristocrats of the aristocratic family are actually the cancer of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Li Huang's clan is the largest aristocratic family in the Tang Dynasty, the Li family in Longxi, one of the five surnames and seven hopes, is a powerful family in the world.

But the aristocratic family masters culture and knowledge, and the aristocratic family masters most positions in the court.

Li Er was naturally afraid of the aristocratic family that threatened the imperial rule.

Li Er wanted to use the imperial examination to weaken the aristocratic family, but he didn't expect that just a test paper system would almost let his efforts go to waste.

So Li ergancrisp made this qujiangchi poetry meeting before Chunwei.

Let students from all over the country who come to Chang'an to take part in the imperial examination openly show their talents, hoping to stifle the matter of voting papers.

Many mats have been laid on the grass on both sides of a winding stream beside the Qujiang pool, with several tables on it. All students who participate in the poetry meeting can occupy a mat for several cases by themselves.

When Li Qieyou led the Niu brothers here, there were hundreds of students sitting by the Qujiang pool, stretching for hundreds of meters. It was so lively.

There are two kinds of people in the Tang Dynasty who are qualified to participate in the scientific examination of Chang'an Shangshu province. One is born in the capital and state and county schools, which is called a student; It looks like you're going to have a "curved water flowing Cup".

Qushui Liubei is a favorite game of Tang literati, which is used to write and fight poetry.

The cup is a kind of wine vessel, mostly made of wood, which can float. Whoever the cup from the upstream rotates or stops in front of him will drink and compose poetry, and others will sing poetry.

In Li's opinion, any poetry meeting is supported by the Tang literati when they are full. With this Kung Fu, it's not good for him to spend two more sketches?

When he was still secretly feigning, he didn't notice that Li Er led a group of important officials to Qujiang pool and entered a waterside pavilion by the pool.

Soon, a clear sound of fou beating came from the waterside pavilion, and the Qujiang pool, which was still talking, immediately quieted down.

Li Qieyou saw a thin old man come out of the waterside pavilion and said in a loud voice, "serve the wine!"

As the voice fell, countless servants began to intersperse on the grass, giving each table a pot of wine, some dried fruits, and pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Li forgot to worry and immediately understood that this was to let everyone write poetry, but he didn't know how to judge.

"Zhu Sheng, raise your glass and win the drink!" the old man opened his mouth again and raised his glass. Hundreds of students including Li Qieyou raised their glasses and drank the wine in the glass.

After drinking a glass of wine, I heard the old man say in a high voice, "please write a poem with the title of spring."

Li forgot to worry and was stunned. How did he feel that this poem would be like an exam?

In addition to the beautiful environment, isn't this way of writing poetry a kind of imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty?

But since I'm sitting here, I have to show some skills and "copy" it. Otherwise, Yang Zuzhen would be ashamed to ask for his own account, which would be really bad.

Spring is the topic. The ancient poems with this theme in his mind are rotten. Li forgets worry and feels that he has no pressure to "copy" ten capitals in one breath.

Looking around, Li forgets worry and is ready to choose the most appropriate one to copy.

However, he saw many wild ducks playing in the water in the Qujiang pool not far away. Li forgets worry immediately thought of which Da Neng poem he should copy.

Su Shi and Su Dongpo's "morning view of huichong Spring River" is most suitable for the Qujiang pond. Li Qieyou picked up his pen and wrote, altering the title of the poem again.

Xiaojing of Spring River in Quchi

There are three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, and the spring river is warm.

Artemisia selengensis is all over the ground, and the reed buds are short, which is when the puffer fish wants to go up.

Two or three minutes later, while other students were still trying to figure out how to compose a poem in spring, Li forgetful had finished the whole poem on rice paper in beautiful thin gold.

Seeing that he had finished the poem so quickly, the servant who was waiting on one side immediately trotted over to take away the rice paper.

Not long ago, in the waterside pavilion by the Qujiang pool, Li forgetful's poems were sent in.

"Who finished the poem so soon?" Li Er asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, it's Huxian Li who forgets his worries."

Hearing the speech, Li Er frowned: "is this boy again? Read it."

"Yes, it's the dawn of the Spring River in Quchi. There are three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, and the water heating duck prophet in the spring river..."

After reading a poem, before the literary ministers spoke, a group of generals and the Duke of the state first clamored.

"Good poem, this poem is well written!"

"Even I can understand it. It's a good poem!"

"To tell you the truth, the spring river is warm, isn't it the duck who knows first? Ha ha."

The princes had a good feeling for Li Qieyou before. At this time, they heard that it was Li Qieyou's poem. They didn't care about 3721. Let's praise it first.

Their words made Li Er and a group of literary ministers cry and laugh, but they didn't admit it. Li forgets to worry about this poem. It's really good!
