Yuan Tiangang cautiously took a stack of papers and left contentedly as a baby.

Xia Hongsheng stood on the street outside the gate, watching Yuan Tiangang's carriage gradually fade away in the golden glow of the sunset, as if he had entrusted some kind of burden to others, and sent his incomparable blessings in his heart.

Friends! Lead the Taoist priests of the Tang Dynasty to become the founders and pioneers of natural science! History will definitely remember your contributions, and thousands of years later, textbooks will also mark that the Taoist people of the Tang Dynasty began to change from pursuing their own detachment to pursuing nature and using nature, laying the foundation for the birth of natural science.

One day, it was hurriedly revealed in the conspiracy of Xia Hongsheng and Yuan Tiangang.

In the early morning of the next day, when the glow of the morning gradually sprinkled all over the earth, Xia Hongsheng's figure appeared at the gate of Weihe Park, to complete his last judgment before leaving.

The content of the poetry club is no longer as simple as composing poetry. The level of the Tang scribes is so high that it is too easy to compose poetry. The final rounds of the contest will add more difficult content.

Let's say policy.

Policy is to ask questions, and discussion is to discuss. It is an article that discusses the political problems of the imperial court and proposes countermeasures, and is used to provide advice to the imperial court.

That's a lot more demanding. These literati are required not only to be able to write poetry and literary brilliance, but also to have unique vision and opinions, to have a keen mind and a logical and clear mind, and to have a close attention to current affairs and a deep understanding of the current situation.

There are only fifty people left. On the other side of the competition, there are only fifty people left.

Exactly one hundred people in total, this hundred people. will be rewarded by the imperial court. As a reserve talent of the imperial court. And the top ten people were selected from each of them. The literati will directly enter the imperial court to do things and become a middle- and lower-level official, and the ten warriors will also directly enter the Tang Royal Military Academy in the name of special recruitment to receive officer education, and after graduation, they will directly enter the military and become a middle- and lower-level officer.

For the remaining 80 people, the imperial court will reward them of different grades for future use.

Arguably. The poetry club and the competition have come to this point, and these 100 people are already winners. The next competition is just a further division.

"Yo, I'm seeing you again, how are you preparing?" Xia Hongsheng saw a familiar face when he passed by, it was the scholar who met him who was very enthusiastic and introduced them to the grand occasion of the martial arts competition at the beginning of the civil and military conference. In the past few rounds that Xia Hongsheng has judged, I can see him in every round, and I have also watched him walk into these hundred people.

"Meet the judges!" The student saw Xia Hongsheng talking to him, so he immediately bowed and bowed. said: "Shame on the students! The students didn't know that they were judging adults, which made the judges laugh. ”

"It doesn't matter. To be able to stay here today is a success. Still, hopefully you'll keep up the good work and compete for the top 10. Xia Hongsheng said a word of encouragement, passed by him, and walked to the judge's seat in front.

Because he wanted to avoid suspicion, Xia Hongsheng never asked his name.

A hundred people sat below, a scribe and a warrior on one side. Everyone on the judge's seat looked at the hundred energetic literati and martial artists, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts for a while, saying that there are many talents, both civil and military.

"To this day, you are still here, and the old man can't help but have a compliment." Li Gang glanced down and said with a smile: "Looking at your demeanor, the old man is also very pleased. The Tang Dynasty is full of talents, both civil and martial, and it can be said that there are successors. To be able to come to this day, for all of you, you have actually won. Go to the back, I hope you still need to continue to work hard, and see what you are. ”

Everyone below bowed and saluted, but Li Gang looked left and right again, and asked, "Do you still have anything to say?" ”

All the judges shook their heads, signaling that they didn't need to say anything, so Li Gang looked at Xia Hongsheng and said, "Since Xiahou is the host of the civil and military conference, he should say a few words." ”

"This ...... No need for it! Xia Hongsheng hesitated when he saw Li Gang asking him to say a few words. Guy didn't have a heart for the poetry meeting in front of him at the moment, and he was all about thinking about tomorrow's trip and how to arrange it after he arrived in Xiazhou.

"This event is hosted by you, and now this 100 people have stood out, and it should be inspired and exhorted." Yan Shigu also laughed and said to Xia Hongsheng.

Xia Hongsheng still wanted to resign, but he heard Chu Suiliang smile again: "Xiahou's talent has been famous for a long time, today the civil and military gatherings, and there are many talents, which should be the harbinger of the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty. ”

All the judges echoed the voice, and the people below also asked Xia Hongsheng to give a poem.

After a while, Xia Hongsheng thought about it for a while, stood up, and said: "The poetry meeting is here, and I have seen your articles and poems below, and I really feel that I am ashamed of my false name." Today, I am writing poems under the order, but I am afraid that I will laugh and be generous. Today, all of you are here, and in the future, you will be the pillars of the Tang Dynasty's civil and military affairs. ”

"Good! There is poetry but no rhythm, after all, it is not beautiful. I have heard Xiahou's name for a long time, and today I will write a poem and sing a song, and we can also see the style of Xiahou! Chu Suiliang applauded, causing everyone to clap too.

Xia Hongsheng looked at Chu Suiliang, and he didn't know if this thing was intentional or what, so he had to look at the back and say to the person playing the small drum: "This musician, please also beat the drum for the next time." ”

The poetry will be exquisite, with an ensemble of musicians. Seeing Xia Hongsheng speak, the musicians rubbed their hands.

Xia Hongsheng looked at the following civil and military talents, took a deep breath, and opened his mouth loudly:

"The river is like a dragon, and the mountains have tigers.

The long roar looks up to the sky, and the long song should cry.

There are bells and drums.

The dragon and the tiger leap, there are civil and martial arts.

A sword cut through the sky, and a blood annotated the history books.

Descend to great responsibilities, work hard, work hard;

Take morality, write articles, and show ambitions!

Standing as a dignified man, with a strong husband.

The sun and the moon rise and fall.

What a Tang Dynasty, Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger!

Raise your eyes to the countless rivers and mountains, and look at the streamer and fly through.

The sun and the moon rise and fall.

What a big Tang Dynasty, Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger! ……”

A song "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" came out of Xia Hongsheng's mouth, everyone listened and listened, only to feel that there was a heroic in the chest, as if there were majestic rivers in front of them, Mount Tai was majestic, the Yellow River Xiao Xiao, swallowing everything.

"Good! You are the talent of my Tang Dynasty dragon and tiger, you should keep this song in mind, always remind yourself, serve the court, and contribute to the country! Li Gang clapped his hands and said to everyone in the audience. (To be continued.) )
