Chapter 348 Literary Examination
Chu Huan heard Zhou Ting say this, and his heart suddenly became a little nervous, in fact, Chu Huan had already thought of today's assessment, there will definitely be a poetry assessment, although he does have a lot of poems hidden in his belly, but the proposition put forward by Zhou Ting on the spot, there is great unpredictability, who knows what kind of topic His Majesty the Emperor will come up with, and whether there is a corresponding poetry answer in his brain, let him write poems and lyrics on the spot, that is absolutely impossible.
The emperor was quite interested, looked at Chu Huan, and asked, "Chu Huan, what do you think of Zhou Nayan's suggestion?" ”
"The villain obeys the holy decree." Chu Huan could only bite the bullet.
The emperor looked at the queen beside him and said with a smile: "Empress, it's better for you to make the proposition and try Chu Huan's ability." I want to see what kind of talent he has to be able to win flowers with thirty-nine poems! ”
The queen smiled softly, stared at Chu Huan, and her voice was very gentle: "Chu Huan, from the proposition of this palace, if you can make it, you can make it boldly, if you really can't do it, it doesn't matter, it's not easy to write lyrics on the spot." If you try it or not, there are martial arts tests, so you don't have to be too nervous. She was kind and pleasant, and she seemed very friendly to Chu Huan.
Chu Huan heard the queen say this, his heart was really relieved, he raised his head slightly and glanced at the queen, seeing the queen's grace and luxury, with a faint smile on her face, she knew that the identity of this beautiful woman was really noble, she was not only the princess of the previous dynasty, but also the queen of the current dynasty, she was born with the temperament of nobility in her bones, this grace and luxury, I am afraid that no woman in the world can compare.
The queen's words had actually left room for Chu Huan, and everyone could naturally understand what it meant.
People who know the inside story know that the king of Qi had suffered an assassination in Xishan Road, but fortunately Chu Huan rescued him, which turned the corner into safety, although His Majesty the emperor has several sons, but His Royal Highness the king of Qi is the only bloodline of the queen, saving the king of Qi, if the queen is saved, the queen is naturally grateful to Chu Huan, and she favors Chu Huan here, leaving Chu Huan a way out, which is also a matter of course.
Zhou Ting had already arched his hand and said: "Please ask the queen to propose!" ”
The queen thought about it, looked around, saw a row of green willows not far away, and said with a smile: "In this way, let's take the green willows as the theme, Chu Huan, you can write a poem!" ”
"Green Willow!" The emperor stroked his beard and said: "The proposition of the situation, the queen is really smart!" ”
The queen smiled.
When Chu Huan heard the proposition, he immediately searched for relevant poems in his brain, this is an on-the-spot response, although the brain has a lot of hidden goods, but it has to be filtered, thoughtful, and the brain is spinning quickly.
At this time, everyone's eyes were on Chu Huan, except for King Qi, who was full of confidence, many officials were suspicious and disdainful.
Chu Huan pondered for a moment, suddenly raised his head, and before he could make a sound, Zhou Ting had already raised his hand and said, "Wait." He shouted, "Lift up!" ”
Soon, there were two people carrying a table over, and then someone spread paper on the table, ink, paper and inkstone were prepared, but the pen was not seen, and then everyone saw a person holding a large jar on the table, this jar is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the shape is other, looking at the bottom seems to be a vessel for wine, looking at the debt above like a vase, the mouth of the altar can only probe three fingers at most, even a hand can not be stretched down, and the surroundings suddenly whispered, and there was already a short and fat old minister frowning and asking: "Lord Zhou, what are you doing here?" ”
This old minister is nearly sixty years old, and his eyes are very small, but from time to time he shines with a fine light, and he looks like a shrewd person.
He is under the head of An Guogong, and it is obvious that his official position is also extremely high.
Chu Huan didn't recognize it, but everyone else recognized it, this was Sima Changru, the secretary of Menxia Province.
There are two people in the province of Menxia, two squires, and six people, and this book order is a member of the first product department of the province of Menxia, who participates in state affairs and is definitely the core figure of the court.
Zhou Ting smiled: "Lord Sima, don't be impatient. Xiang Chu Huan said: "Chu Huan, if you have a good work, you can write it on paper." ”
Chu Huan smiled reluctantly and said, "Please also ask the adults to give me a pen." ”
"The pen is already at your fingertips." Zhou Ting smiled and pointed to the strange jar: "The pen you need is in the jar, if you want to use the pen, you can take it out!" ”
Chu Huan frowned, he didn't know what tricks he was going to do this week, he raised his hand and stretched out, but Zhou Ting had already said, "Wait!" ”
"What other instructions does Lord Zhou have?"
Zhou Ting stroked his beard and said: "If you want to take a pen in the altar, it is not impossible, but your hand can not touch the altar in the slightest, you can not use a clip to take the pen, of course, you can not borrow other tools to touch the surface of the altar, let alone break the altar, you can only use your hands to take out the brush from the altar." ”
There was a sudden agitation in the four places.
King Qi couldn't help but say, "Zhou Ting, aren't you embarrassed?" This jar is so deep that one hand can't put it in, and the brush is at the bottom of the jar at this time, and it can't be reached by hand. It's okay for you to let Chu Huan compose poems, how can you do all these strange tricks, and you still don't let him compose poems? ”
Zhou Ting saluted the King of Qi respectfully and said, "Your Highness, it's not that the minister intends to embarrass Chu Huan. The power of a pen is by no means weaker than an army, but it is a divine weapon, such a divine weapon, if you want to get, but it is not easy. If you want to get such a divine weapon, you can't do it without brains. ”
King Qi said angrily: "You are just rectifying people, what ......!" Before he finished speaking, the emperor had already said lightly: "Yingren, step aside!" ”
When King Yingren of Qi heard the emperor speak, he didn't dare to say any more, so he took a step back very unconvinced.
The Emperor seemed intrigued by this sudden scene.
Today, of course, Chu Huan is to be assessed, in fact, another reason is to relieve the queen's boredom, Zhou Ting's arrangement of this scene is a bit ingenious, it is a show, but the emperor wants to see how Chu Huan solves it.
At this time, the officials next to him have begun to discuss, many people only think that Zhou Ting is indeed deliberately rectifying Chu Huan, not letting people touch the altar, but letting people take out the brush from the narrow altar with their hands, the key is that it is impossible for the hand to reach into the mouth of the altar, which is obviously deliberately embarrassing people, and some people have already frowned and thought hard, thinking about whether there is a way to take out the brush.
An official had already come up with an idea: "You can make a hook without using your hands, with your mouth in your mouth, poke the end of the hook into the bottom of the altar, then take out the brush, and then take the brush with your hands." ”
His idea immediately caused people on both sides to laugh.
"Chu Huan, have you figured out a way?" The emperor leaned back in the golden chair and asked lightly.
Chu Huan arched his hand and said: "Holy Lord, there is a way, but before that, the villain needs something." ”
The Emperor asked, "What is it?" ”
"The villain needs a bucket of water." Chu Huan said respectfully.
Someone next to him immediately whispered: "It seems that Chu Huan has already remembered that his mouth is dry, and he wants a bucket of water, has he finished drinking?" "Suddenly, something didn't feel right.
But the emperor had already commanded, "Fetch a bucket of water!" ”
Soon, a bucket of water was delivered, and Chu Huan glanced at the bucket of water before asking Zhou Ting with a smile: "Lord Zhou, but I don't know if I have passed this method?" ”
Zhou Ting had already stroked his beard and smiled: "Sure enough, there is some wisdom in urgency, you are very good!" ”
The two of them had no head or brainless conversation, and they didn't understand it for a while, but they saw that Chu Huan had already picked up the bucket and poured water into the jar, and soon, most of the bucket of water was poured in, and a brush at the bottom of the jar gradually floated up as more and more water was filled, and when they arrived at the mouth of the altar, Chu Huan put down the bucket, poked out two fingers, and took out the brush lightly from the face.
At this moment, many people suddenly realized.
In fact, this principle is very simple, but if you want to think of this method quickly, not everyone can do it, Chu Huan used this ingenious method to take out the brush in a short time, and suddenly many people felt that Chu Huan still had some brains, and the King of Qi over there was still worried about Chu Huan, and when he saw Chu Huan come up with such a method to easily take out the brush, he was immediately relieved.
Chu Huan took the pen, dipped the ink and lifted the pen, and without hesitation, he wrote a few lines on the paper, put down the brush, twisted the paper and blew it, and then handed it to Zhou Ting.
Zhou Ting took the paper, but he didn't dare to look at it first, but quickly presented it to the emperor, and the emperor took it and browsed it, with a smile on his face, handed it to the queen, and said, "The queen has a look!" ”
The queen watched it all before she looked at a courtier and said, "Lu Zhun, you are the prince of the country and the sacrificial wine, according to your opinion, how is this poem written?" ”
A eunuch stepped forward to take the paper and passed it to an old minister.
Lu Zhun, the priest of the country, took it, looked at it carefully, bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Qi Sheng, Queen Mother, in the opinion of the old minister, it is really rare for Chu Huan to make such a good sentence in this short period of time. In this poem, there is not a word about willow, but there are willows everywhere, which is rare! ”
The officials were immediately very interested in the poems written by Chu Huan, and the provincial secretary of the door ordered Sikong Changru to say: "Lord Lu, how did you write this poem?" Let's listen to it and comment together? ”
Lu Zhun looked at the emperor, the emperor nodded slightly, and Lu Zhun shook his head and said: "The jasper is made into a tree high, and ten thousand green silk silks hang down, I don't know who cut out the thin leaves?" The April breeze is like scissors. ”
Someone immediately clapped his hands and said: "It's a good April breeze like scissors, it's really a stroke of genius......!" Feeling out of shape, he hurriedly asked the emperor for his guilt: "The subordinates are rude, and please ask the saint to surrender!" ”
Chu Huan's poem changed two words, the original sentence was originally "February spring breeze is like scissors", but now it is April, and April is already early summer, no longer spring, and "February spring breeze is like scissors" can not cope with today's season, so simply changed the word "two" to the word "four", and changed the "spring breeze" to "breeze", which is the right time.
The emperor seemed to be in a good mood, and said with a smile: "The word "stroke of genius" is used well, and it seems that you also praise this poem. This poem is quite aura, and it is indeed not easy to make it in a hurry. Xiang Chu Huan said: "Chu Huan, since you have this talent, why don't you learn to take the test, but become a martial artist?" ”
Chu Huan hurriedly said: "The villain was a fortune teller when he was young, and he said that the villain was not the material for reading, so he ......!" ”
The emperor laughed, "It turned out to be a fortune teller. It's not a reading material, but there is such a collection, so it seems that your martial arts are not weak. Do you really want to see how your martial arts are? Xiang Zhou Ting said: "Zhou Aiqing, the exam is over here, how are you going to take the martial arts exam?" ”
In fact, many people know that His Majesty the Emperor himself was born as a martial artist, although it was not light in order to govern the country back then, but His Majesty the Emperor still loves martial arts very much in his bones, and today is such a good opportunity, even if Chu Huan passes the exam, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely take the martial arts exam.
