The husband is the future chief [infrastructure]

Jiang Ziyan saw that many people present didn't talk about the business he said, but some people still admired his candid attitude, which made him heave a sigh of relief.

To be honest, in fact, he was not sure what the situation would be like after he said these words, and now it seems that it will be much better than expected.

He solemnly thanked Tang Shizhi and Huang Ye for their reminders just now, "Thank you both for helping me speak today, but today I offended that Cao Daru, even if I lower my head at this time, I am afraid that the other party will not easily Let me go. I just hope that you will not be implicated."

Tang Shizhi, who was still respectful and far away from Jiang Ziyan just now, couldn't help but feel ashamed. He was still looking down on Jiang Ziyan because of his business, but now the other party came to thank him frankly.

He was ashamed, "Brother Jiang is serious, it's because Tang's vision is narrow."

But Huang Ye said with a dignified face: "He dares!"

Looking at his demeanor, Jiang Ziyan actually vaguely guessed some of the opponent's identity.A doctor from the Imperial College wanted to come over just now, but he stared back at him.

The other party was not angry, but left respectfully.

Then look at the attendant standing behind him, his voice is high-pitched, his chin is clean and there is no stubble, he may be a eunuch.

So the other party is very likely to be a prince or prince.

Looking at his age, he looks 24 to [-] years old. After all, Duan Wang is probably the only one who fits this age.

He didn't expect to go to the one in the palace at all. After all, as the lord of a country, he had to deal with a lot of affairs every day, so many papers needed to be approved, and there were still many important military and political affairs to be dealt with, so how could he have time to hang out.

Jiang Ziyan thought about it for a while and he didn't say anything outrageous. Since the other party deliberately concealed his identity, he pretended not to know anything and just treated him as an ordinary person.

Soon the second round will begin.

The second round was a pair. Cao Xuanshi, who had already left, came back when the second round was about to start.

Jiang Ziyan couldn't figure out what the other party meant, and he went back and forth, was it because he couldn't bear to part with the next two competitions, or did he have some bad intentions to make things difficult for him?

Huang Ye saw the hesitation and worry on Jiang Ziyan's face, and said happily, "Young Master Jiang, don't worry, you can just carry out the next two competitions, I guarantee that no one will dare to trouble you."

"Thank you."

With Huang Ye's words to tell the truth, Jiang Ziyan's heart was much more at ease.Even if his guess is wrong, at least this person must be a relative of the emperor. Once he has a relationship with the imperial power, what he said is still very useful.

The second round of pairs is a bit different from the first round. In this round, the doctors at the top will take turns to ask the questions. Every time a couplet is asked, the people below can answer it. You don’t need to write it on paper, you can just say it on the spot .

Whoever answers quickly and well wins.

Cao Xuanshi, who was sitting on top, had a serious face, and they played the last two couplets of this scene.And he had already thought up a very wonderful couplet, so he didn't believe that Jiang Ziyan could answer it.

And before he came up, he still asked someone to have a physical examination, his useless grandson.Although Li Zhiyuan has a bad temper, he is not an idiot, and he still has some knowledge.

With his suggestion, his grandson will definitely be able to answer the question in the end, and there is no need to worry about it until the third political discussion.For the political discussion topic of the third round, the three great Confucian scholars will come up with the same topic, that is, they will choose one of the several alternative topics.

Cao Xuanshi was equivalent to revealing the range to Li Zhiyuan in advance. Even though Li Zhiyuan did not perform as well as Jiang Ziyan in the poems of the first round, the second and third rounds were sure wins.Just now, I left the stage with my hands away, just to remind Li Zhiyuan quietly.

Jiang Ziyan is not very good at matching pairs, but in fact, this is the same as writing poetry, which has the same effect.He memorized quite a few poems, but not so many couplets.So it's all about luck.

Fortunately, there were not many in total, four doctors and two Confucian scholars, and each side produced two couplets.

Originally, Jiang Ziyan was a little worried that he would not be able to answer, but when he heard the first couplet, he was a little surprised. The first couplet was quite simple, so could it be that the difficulty is still progressive?

The first couplet: the hook is old, the hook is exam, the old exam is for the children, and the children are for the old.

Jiang Ziyan quickly answered the next couplet:

One person is great, two are heaven, heaven is greater than human affection, and human affection is greater than heaven.

This pair is also considered wonderful.Huang Ye, who was next to him, kept paying attention to Jiang Ziyan. Seeing that he answered the first couplet smoothly, he couldn't help applauding.

The second couplet is: Wangjiang Tower, Wangjiang Liu, Wangjiang Tower Wangjiang Liu, Jianglou Eternal River Flow Eternal.

There are many people who have answered this link.

Someone replied: Yinyuejing, Yinyueying, Yinyueying in Yinyuejing, Moonwell for ten thousand years and moon shadow for ten thousand years.

There is another answer: wash the ink pool, wash the ink, wash the ink in the ink pool, the ink pool is eternal and the ink is eternal.

Jiang Ziyan thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of any good image expression. Remembering that this was a poetry competition, he answered the next couplet with the topic of poetry competition:

Competition poetry stage, competition poetry talent, poetry competition competition poetry stage, poetry stage peerless poetry talent peerless.

Although the imagery is not as good as the first two, but the answer is very good based on local materials.

After a few couplets, Jiang Ziyan felt that this pair was not as difficult as he imagined.Unexpectedly, he is still ranked very high now.

Soon it was time for Cao Xuanshi to come up with a question. After all, he was a great Confucian, and the pair he made could not be as simple as before, not to mention that he still had the intention of making things difficult.

Cao Xuanshi said: "Listen well, my first couplet is: the moon is full and the moon is waning, the moon is waning and the moon is full, every year, every evening, morning and evening, and the sun can only be seen at the end of the night."

Before long, Li Zhiyuan took the next couplet very smoothly: flowers bloom and fall, flowers fall and flowers bloom, summer, summer, autumn and autumn, summer and summer are cool and cool, spring comes after severe winter.

This Li Zhiyuan was a little too impatient, he didn't even have time to think, and almost blurted out.

Now the following students quit. If everyone comes here to participate in the poetry competition based on their connections, then what's the point of this competition?One after another began to denounce Cao Xuanshi's unfair question.

It was originally to pave the way for his grandson, but he did not expect that the other party did not calm down, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the other scholars present.

Jiang Ziyan suddenly had an idea, and he said: "I heard that Cao Daru is one of the eight great Confucians in the world, but this match really makes me unconvinced."

The underlying meaning of these words is that he is a great Confucian in the world, and the pair he played is at this level?

Cao Xuanshi's name as a great Confucianist was originally the tail of the crane, and he got it because of his family relationship and his own qualifications.Now, it is a great humiliation to him as a scholar to be questioned on the spot about his poor academic ability.

He didn't care if others questioned his fairness or injustice, but instead scolded Jiang Ziyan: "You yellow-mouthed boy, you were not born when I became a Jinshi, and you just relied on the first few poems I don't know if there are people outside the east, west, north and south, it's so arrogant!"

Jiang Ziyan felt that since there was already trouble in the second match, it would be better to just stir up the muddy water and pull this Cao Xuanshi down to save him trouble in the third match.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ziyan said: "Since Mr. Cao is a great Confucianist in the world, the student here has several couplets. I would like to ask you to check them. Do you dare?"

The audience was still arguing about the fairness and injustice of the previous year, but now they heard that some students challenged Cao Xuanshi on the spot, they all looked at the scene in shock, and they all fell silent for a while to watch the excitement.

Being provoked by a child with a yellow mouth, no matter whether it was for fame or dignity, Cao Xuanshi could not refuse.

He said: "Okay! The old man will accept you, kid!"

A sly smile flashed across Jiang Ziyan's eyes, asking him to make a couplet, the other party was asking for trouble.There are so many famous couplets through the ages, but he always remembers a few.

Jiang Ziyan cleared his voice, and said: "Then Cao Daru has to listen carefully. My upper line is: Five hundred miles of Dianchi Lake, rushing to the bottom of my eyes. Wearing a lapel, the joy is vast and boundless. Look: East Xiangshen Jun; Xizhu Lingyi; North Winding; Nanxiang Susu. High-level charmers, why not choose to win and board. Take advantage of Xieyu Luozhou, comb Xiang to wind and mist temples. More frequent sky reeds, embellish some Cuiyu Danxia. Don’t let it down: fragrant rice all around; ten thousand hectares of clear sand; nine summer hibiscus; three spring willows.”

After he finished speaking, he took a pen and wrote down the couplet. After all, the content was too long, and no one could remember it after repeating it.

After being copied by a special person, it was pasted on the curtain for others to watch.

"Cao Daru, please."

This was a very famous long couplet in Jiang Ziyan's memory. If Cao Xuanshi could tell the truth, his reputation as a great scholar would not be in vain, but if he couldn't, then he would definitely lose face on this occasion.

Cao Xuanshi was already getting old, his old face was flushed red, and the beard on his chin was shaking with anger.

As soon as Jiang Ziyan's Shanglian came out, the doctors on the stage and another Zheng Daru couldn't help but think about it.Many people boasted: "Good alliance, good alliance!"

Cao Xuanshi didn't know whether he was nervous or afraid, he muttered the first couplet, but he was sweating profusely in the cold spring of February.

A quarter of an hour passed, but he still didn't respond, and he said angrily, "You've made such a weird couplet, don't say it's me, if it were anyone present, I believe they wouldn't be able to answer it! Could it be that there is no The second line, you have always been talking nonsense, deliberately targeting this old man!"

"No and no." Without waiting for Jiang Ziyan to refute, Zheng Daru, who was sitting beside him, stood up, walked to Cao Xuanshi, and said, "Cao Daru, don't make generalizations. You are not capable enough, so don't be fooled." Beat everyone present with a stick to death."

This great Confucian is called Zheng Rong, and he has always been the most displeased with Cao Xuanshi's hypocrisy and fame-seeking behavior, so the two have always been at odds.If there is such a good opportunity to drive him out of the literary world, how can he let it go?

Cao Xuanshi became even more angry, but he still had a sliver of reason. He didn't believe that Zheng Rong, an old guy, could match this awkward and weird line!

"Zheng Daru, could it be that you can be right?" Cao Xuanshi's words were full of sarcasm.

Zheng Rong said: "Coincidentally, the old man can really match up. Would you like to listen?"

"My next couplet is: Thousands of years of past, poured into my heart. Lingxu wine, lamenting where the heroes are. Think: Zhou Xilou boat; Qingbiao iron pillar; Min wields jade axe; Qingkua leather bag. Wei Lie made great achievements , exhausted all the effort to move the mountains. All the pearl curtains and painted buildings, the volume was not as good as the evening rain and the morning clouds. The broken steles were all paid for by the smoke. Only won: a few pestles and a few bells; half a river fishing fire; two lines of autumn geese; one pillow Qingshuang."

"Okay!" Whoever took the lead in the audience burst into applause, this couplet is really good.

Scholars all over the world could not help but compare the two on the stage with each other. They are both great Confucians, one is full of economics and literary talent, and the other is ignorant and unable to answer questions. It is hard not to make people question Cao Xuanshi's level of great Confucianism.

As a great Confucian, Cao Xuanshi has lost face in front of scholars all over the world today.He was in a hurry, but he really didn't know what to do right now, so he closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious and fell down.

It was a good match, but now it seems like a farce.Huang Ye, who was sitting in the crowd, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He is a scholar in the great Wei Jiangshan who is so moral.He is still a great Confucian in the world, wouldn't it make people in other countries laugh at him if he said it?

The attendants hurriedly helped Cao Xuanshi off the stage. Li Zhiyuan wanted to go around and take a look, but he saw the gesture Cao Xuanshi handed him when others were not paying attention.

Now the second round is nothing more than that, Jiang Ziyan is not the first in this round, but his ranking is not bad, coming in second.

The more Huang Ye looked at Jiang Ziyan, the more he found him pleasing to the eye, and once again felt sorry for him not entering the court.

The next one is politics.Taking advantage of the intermission, Huang Ye waved his hand, and the attendant behind him bent forward and bowed his head to get closer. It wasn't because he said something in the attendant's ear that the man left suddenly.Came back just before the start of Game [-].

Soon came the third session, discussing politics.

Li Zhiyuan has made full preparations for this round. No matter what the topic is, he is very confident that he can win the debate.

However, when the curtain on the stage was lowered, he was dumbfounded. There was no topic, only two words, New Deal.

This is to let everyone talk about the new policy that the current emperor just announced in February!

However, his grandfather did not tell him that this was an optional topic, so he was not prepared at all.

Cao Xuanshi, who was sitting in the audience, wanted to see what happened in the third match, so he couldn't pretend to be dizzy anymore, so he could only pretend that he had just woken up from a coma.

At this time, he heard that the topic of the third discussion on politics was the new policy promulgated at the beginning of this month, and his brain almost fainted again.

The author has something to say:

I was in the car today, and I was a little sleepy. In fact, there is still a paragraph behind this big plot, but I can’t finish writing today. I will make up for it tomorrow. Good night everyone
