"Huh? Who? ”

People turned their heads to look, but saw a middle-aged man in his thirties with a clear appearance, standing with his head held high, looking up at the sky, and seemed to be very disdainful of Cui Geng and Zhang Jiuling.

Li Linfu immediately said angrily; "Du Xian? It's you! When it comes to pairs, you are not as good as me in those two times, and you dare to speak out in Cui Kaogong, which is really an axe! ”

Du Xian said loudly: "Yes, Du is really not in a hurry, and his ability to pair is not ordinary." But, so what? If the couplet is well written, can it enrich the country and strengthen the army? The couplet is well written, can you see it clearly? I have my own strategy for governing the country and securing the country, but I look down on these opportunistic and fortunate people. ”

Oops!

If an ordinary tribute scholar said such arrogant words, with Cui Geng's current identity as "knowing tribute", he would really not have the same knowledge as him, at least he would not argue face-to-face.

However, Du Xian is different, this person is also a prime minister during the reign of Tang Xuanzong.

Sima Guang of later generations once commented: "Since his accession to the throne, the phases used, Yao Chongshangtong, Song Shangfa, Zhang Jiazhen Shangwen, Li Yuan, Du Xian Shangjian, Han Xiu, Zhang Jiuling Shangzhi, each with its own strengths." ”

Other people's talents are very good, what is "accessible", "the art of the Legalist", "upright", "attaching importance to literature", and so on. However, when it came to Du Siam...... What is this "Shang Jian"? As the prime minister of the country, no matter how diligent and thrifty you are, can you be more diligent and thrifty than a beggar? This "strength" as a prime minister can be said to be completely incompetent?!

Even, Liu, who edited the "Book of the Later Tang Dynasty", once pointed out sharply: "I always take it as my responsibility to be diligent and thrifty in the public (Du Xianam), and sometimes I am hypocritical." ”

All in all, this is a hypocrite who lacks talent and morality, and is very "hypocritical".

For this kind of person, Cui Geng doesn't want to get used to him!

Immediately, he suddenly got up, circled around Du Xian a few times, and said, "As the saying goes, heroes see the same thing. Unexpectedly, there is a person here who thinks the same as this official. Well, you're right, this couplet is well written, and it doesn't necessarily mean that it is the pillar of the court. But ......"

"How?"

"You can say this, but you can't."

"Why?"

Cui Geng talked eloquently and said, "That's it, the official will tell you a story." You get the idea. It is said that there was a fox who passed by a grape trellis, and saw that the grapes were purple and red, many and big, and suddenly he was hungry ~ thirsty and jumped up. However, the trellis was so high that the fox jumped several times, but he couldn't reach it. So, in a huff, it walked away, and as it went, it said in pieces: I am sure that this grape is sour. ”

Hahaha~~

The parable is only philosophical, not funny. However, Li Linfu immediately laughed out loud to cheer for Cui Geng, and said: "The teacher said it well, if you Du Xian have a literary talent like a teacher or Zhang Jiuling, you can still look down on the ability of couplets." But to say this in your current capacity is nothing more than a stupid fox who can't eat grapes and talk about grapes! ”

"You ......"

"What's wrong with me? Am I not right? If you think you have great ability, you can be admitted to the science department? Why do you need to take the Classics exam? Fifty young jinshi, thirty old Ming Jing, its difficulty is completely different. Am I right, Lao Ming Jing Du Xian ......"

After a pause, Li Linfu slapped his head again and said, "No, of course I'm not right." Pity you Du Xian is Chinese New Year's Eve two years old today, but you haven't even passed the Ming Jing subject, haha, what a waste! ”

Hit people without slapping them in the face, and take over without revealing their shortcomings. Li Linfu's words are undoubtedly not only a slap in the face, but also a naked~ naked expose!

Du Xian was so angry that his face was flushed, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I have already admitted just now that my literary talent is indeed average. However, does Cui Kaogong think that people with average literary talents have no right to discuss politics? This is also a strong word! What fox can't eat grapes? In my opinion, you are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! ”

"Spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain? Okay, that official is here, with the heart of a villain, take a good time with you Du Xian! ”

Cui Geng glanced around and said, "Actually, Du Xian is not wrong about the disadvantages of the imperial examination. However, Your Majesty is wise and martial, and the ministers of the DPRK and China are full of poetry and books, can't they see through this? Then why, the imperial court likes to judge scholars by literary talent, but not purely by strategy? ”

Speaking of which, Cui Geng kept silent, leaving enough time for the tributes to think.

It wasn't until half a cup of tea later that he said, "The most important thing is the word fairness." The children of the family have the teachings of their fathers and brothers, and even have the opportunity to experience in the yamen. And for those who are from poor families, if they can't buy all the books on scripture and righteousness, how can they have the opportunity to experience in the yamen? If you only focus on strategy, how can there be a day for a poor person? Only by attaching importance to literary talents can the children of the family and the poor fight fairly. ”

Du Xian said unconvincedly: "Only pay attention to fairness, and where does you put the safety of the imperial court?" ”

This time, there was no need for Cui Geng to answer, Li Linfu sent Du Xian back and said, "You are stupid, isn't there still a recommendation for the official?" The most fundamental purpose of the imperial examination is to make the poor have hope of getting ahead, you Du Xian was born in a poor family, but you are really stupid to talk about the content of the examination! ”

Cui Geng sneered: "According to the official, Du Xian is not too stupid, but too smart. He felt that he was hopeless in this examination, so he deliberately made a lot of nonsense in front of his own officials and became famous all over the world. Perhaps, which of his political enemies is optimistic about him and will recommend him to be an official. This is really a good deal for fame and fortune! ”

Cui Geng's words are the real words of the heart.

Originally, there was a large group of tributes gathered around Du Xian, and when he heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he slowly walked away.

Du Xian really didn't have any urgency, at this time, he couldn't argue, so he simply broke the jar and said: "Don't say those useless, Cui Kaogong, in a word, you can get the Tianguan Examiner Wailang of the sixth grade with a few lines of poetry, and I, Du someone, is not convinced!" ”

Cui Geng glanced at him obliquely and said, "Who is your surname Du, and you are also worthy of arguing with this official?" ”

"What? Are you Cui Ying weak-hearted? Du Xian didn't laugh angrily, and said contemptuously: "Aren't you self-proclaimed talented? Is there a kind of, you and I are better than Moyi? ”

The biggest difference between Jinshi and Ming Jing is that in the second exam, Jinshi examines poetry and songs, and Ming Jing examines "Moyi", that is, the interpretation of the Four Books and Five Classics.

If it is said that poetry and poetry are given to literary talents, then "Moyi" is the hard work of ten years of cold windows.

Du Xian was later able to learn from the scriptures and serve as the prime minister, and his understanding of the scriptures and meanings is of course quite unique.

He just wants to use this to make Cui Geng completely embarrassed!

To be honest, this move really hit Cui Geng's death hole. This kind of can't be plagiarized, can't shake the clever competition, he will definitely lose.

However, before Cui Geng could come up with any excuses, Wei Shifang behind him suddenly interjected: "My master is a tribute to the school, and he only has the share of the school tribute, how can he let the tribute send him to the school?" Well, young man, if you are not convinced...... Just compare with the old man! ”

"Who are you?"

"Master Cui's old family, Wei Dog is left! What do you think? Do you dare to compare with me? ”

"I ......"

Nima, what is Wei dog left? As soon as you hear this name, you are a vulgar person. If you win, you won't have any brilliance, but if you lose, you have to lose face.

Du Xian rolled his eyes and said, "How many books can an old slave read?" A certain family is not martial! ”

"Don't look down on people." Wei Shifang grinned and said: "The ancients lived with good people, such as entering the room of Zhilan, and did not smell its fragrance for a long time; Living with the wicked, such as entering the abalone, does not smell its stench for a long time. Old man, I have followed my master for so many years, and this knowledge is very high. Let's put it this way......"

As he spoke, Wei Shifang stroked around and said, "It's not just you Du Xian, as long as you want to take the scriptures, even if you come to compare Moyi with the old man." But whoever can win me, this imperial examination, my master will definitely win! ”

And this good thing?

Du Xian's eyes flashed, and he looked at Cui Geng and said, "Cui Kaogong, what do you say?" ”
