The days passed slowly, and Zhao Ming ran around in Wanbao Pavilion and red sleeves all day long. I don't know why I'm so busy, why I'm going farther and farther away from my original intention. Why didn't you pick chrysanthemums under the east fence again, and leisurely see the mood of Nanshan. Did the environment change itself or did it change the environment itself?

When Zhao Ming sighed at himself, he didn't know that the name Yingding was mentioned again by the forgetful people of Bianliang City, and a wave gradually blew up.

Bianliang City Taixue, the highest institution of learning in Northern Zhao. Taixue originated in the Western Han Dynasty, which was proposed by Dong Zhongshu, who overthrew the Confucianism of a hundred schools, and taught poetry, calligraphy, and rituals in the Spring and Autumn Period, and was the highest institution of learning to teach Confucian classics. Later, subjects such as law, calligraphy, and arithmetic were added. The Tai students were recruited from the outstanding children of the eight rank officials and commoners, and they were the second highest rank after the imperial examination, so they gathered the top part of the Northern Zhao Dynasty to teach knowledge. At the same time, Taixue is a holy place that scholars yearn for in addition to the Hanlin Academy, and it influences the direction of the literary world of Northern Zhao.

However, today's Taixue students, who have always been united, are clearly divided into two groups and quarrel, all because of the name of Yingding, which has never been heard of.

Approaching autumn, Bianliang City finally did not have the stuffiness of the past, and a cool breeze was sent into the lecture hall of Taixue with weeping willows. None of the students who had just finished class and were preparing for lunch break had no intention of resting, and they sat in their seats arguing, and their tongues were flying around.

"Brother Zixiu's words are wrong, the water tune song is indeed majestic and exquisite. It is true that he has earned back a lot of face for my Beizhao, but this person has no gentlemanly style, he is not humble when he wins, and he spits out wild words. Humiliating the loser for no reason is not a gentleman's style. This student seems to be more square, and always asks the world to be a gentleman.

"How can we blindly follow the words of the market, and those who can make water tune songs, ask when Mingyue will be there at the beginning, and they can't be big-minded. Is it the kind of narrow-minded person who gets cheap and sells obediently? I have checked, and the person who is behind the scenes is none other than the Southern Tang Dynasty scholars who stayed in my Bianliang City, and their words are even more unbelievable. As soon as the other person mentioned the water tune song head, he wanted to be beaten with chicken blood, and his face was flushed, similar to the little fan brother in the future.

"Didn't you listen to what the Southern Tang scholars said? I don't believe that there is such a talent for sixteen or seventeen years old. ”

"Brother Zhang's words are a little sour. Don't mention the water tune song head, just the fifteen-character couplet is still hanging in the red sleeve Zhaozheng Hall. It is said that anyone who can greet the above red sleeves will regard him as a guest, and he will be given five hundred taels of silver for free food and lodging. Can someone match it? Not to mention the right, there is no one who even dares to cut it off, which shows that this Yingding is quick to think. Looking at the former Tang Li Bai again, how can the resources of the immortals be within the reach of mortals like us? ”

"Brother Lin compares this Yingding to an immortal, but he holds this person up too high, right? It's just a poem. ”

"Alas, who said that this word could be passed down through the ages? If it is really done for that Yingding, it may not be able to reach the height of the immortals in the future. Anyway, it's enough for me to look up. ”

"Even if this is the best poetry, this competition is more than poetry. Haven't you heard, what the Southern Tang Dynasty has laid out is seven items of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea. I'll just take the poem as a winner, and what about the six more? ”

"This person who travels to study in the Southern Tang Dynasty is really hateful, and if he loses, he loses. What tricks to play. "Another student is indignant, he has the ability to be more capable than the six arts of a gentleman, at least shoot with the royal is really not resting with you Southern Tang people.

"Qin, I heard that everyone in Luoyi admires Yingding very much, I don't know if Yingding will ask him to help?"

"You're stupid. Luo Yi is from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it is already eccentric not to help the Southern Tang Dynasty. ”

"What about chess? I heard that the palace enshrined Lord Qi's exquisite chess skills, I don't know if I will make a move? ”

"Don't count on it, I heard my father say that Lord Qi lost to that Cao Zayin some time ago. It's also self-inflicted. ”

"What about calligraphy, Hanlin Chengbi topaz calligraphy is always comparable."

"Lord Huang's calligraphy is of course stronger than that of Yang Nan'an, but unfortunately it is unlikely, Lord Huang is more than fifty years old and is an official of the imperial court, and he is specially responsible for drafting the holy decree. Coming out to compete with a small generation is not to bully the small. Victory is not martial. ”

"That painting I Beizhao also has a Meihe Mountain person, and the painted Meihe is lifelike. It's time to win. ”

"It's also difficult, the people of Meiheshan are like this Yingding, and their whereabouts are uncertain. Whether you can find it or not, I have to say it. ”

"Drinking is also a problem, who dares to guarantee that the other party will be drunk to death. There is also tea, I have no famous family in Beizhao at all. Isn't that a loss? ”

After some discussion, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. The heritage of the Southern Tang Dynasty is indeed rich, and this is not the top group of people in the Southern Tang Dynasty, which makes it difficult for the entire Northern Zhao to die. Is it really that in terms of literature, Beizhao is going to win another humiliation? It's infuriating, it's really infuriating! Nantang, who has never bargained in the war, will find a sense of existence in this regard!

"Not necessarily!" At this time, an old voice came from outside the lobby, and everyone turned their heads and hurriedly got up to salute.

"I've seen sacrificial wine."

"Hehe, sit down." The person who came was an old man with a plough stick and a white beard, with a kind smile on his face, his face full of ravines mixed with deep wisdom, and the slender white beard moved step by step with the old man's pace, filling the old man with a bit of innocence, and some of the old man's cloudy eyes flashed with insight into the accident, "Seeing that you are so engrossed in the discussion, I don't mind if the old man intervenes." ”

"The sacrificial wine is serious. Do you think that my Da Zhao still has hope of winning? "The students are not afraid of this supreme governor of Taixue, Taixue has always been kind, and he doesn't care about his identity, and even some old naughty boys' behavior, often making the students cry and laugh.

"Yes, aren't there still you?" The old man smiled and pointed to everyone present, not caring at all about everyone's faces.

"Shall I wait? But..."

The old man interrupted the student's next words, "It doesn't matter if you know that you are not as good as people now, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi." If you can't do it now, it doesn't mean you won't be able to do it in the future, and if you lose, it's not a big deal. In the future, it doesn't matter if the sky falls. The most important thing is nothing more than not seeing the enemy and being cowardly, losing his sharpness in vain. If you lose, you don't lose the battle, the young phoenix speaks, the milk tiger roars in the forest, and it is powerful if it is not shocked. A gentleman should rise to the challenge! ”

"But sacrificial wine, it's not that I'm discouraged, it's just that this time the people who came from the Southern Tang Dynasty are all well-known, I'm afraid..."

"Are you afraid you won't do it?" Before the student finished speaking, the old man understood what he meant, "If you have time today, I'll tell you about what you are afraid of." I'm afraid that everyone will have, or environment, or concerns, or results. But the more you are afraid, the more you need to show the greatest courage, the courage to act regardless of everything, so that fear can be feared, and you will do what you should do and must do while being afraid. In the past, Bi Gan knew that he would be cut out, but he was afraid that he would still say it, and Jing Ke of the Warring States knew that he was going to die, and he was afraid that he would still move forward with a sword. Fear or not, put it aside! Men should sit up as a routine. ”

All the students were thoughtful, and they all bowed their hands: "Be taught." ”

At this time, the old man smiled very slyly: "Of course, this time is not so serious at all, isn't it just a folk competition." You can't do it now, don't you still have old bones like me. ”

"Ah, what do you mean by sacrificial wine? But if the sacrificial wine comes forward, I am afraid that the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty will laugh at the sacrificial wine and bully the small, which will damage the reputation of the sacrificial wine. ”

"Get out! The old man, the loess is buried in the neck, and the person still cares about this reputation? The old man didn't mind waving his hand, he didn't care at all, blowing his beard and glaring at him, "It's all coming to the door, why don't you fan me when you stand up?" Who still says anything to you to bully the small! The old guys in Nantang came in person if they weren't convinced. Come on, come on, hurt each other! Hum! ”

...

At the same time, in the upper study, Emperor Zhao Hao was correcting the twists and turns unchanged for thousands of years, and Huaien stood aside and truthfully told the emperor about the dynamics in Bianliang City, focusing on the wave of momentum of the Southern Tang Dynasty students.

The emperor looked up at the dazzling sunlight outside, closed his eyes and rubbed his sour eyes, but did not make a sound, and smelled the strange fragrance from the immortal crane incense burner and snorted his nose in dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty, do you want the slave to suppress this message?" Wynne looked at the emperor's face and asked.

"The incense is extinguished, and there are no insects and ants burning any incense in the daytime." Zhao Hao stood up and stretched, and pointed to the incense burner.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Huai En smiled bitterly, this study has been burning incense for many years, but today the emperor is disgusted, and he must not be in a very good mood.

"Alas, does Ming'er know?" Zhao Ming looked into the distance with a look of disgust and dissatisfaction, this Nantang has nothing to do, and keeps making some small actions that have nothing to do with the current situation, which makes people block.

"The slave maid estimates that His Royal Highness the Sixth doesn't know yet." Huai En thought about Zhao Ming's recent whereabouts, three points and one line, either to see the progress of Wanbao Pavilion or to go to the Red Sleeves to choreograph songs and dances, he really didn't necessarily know.

"Then leave it to him and wait and see. Even if you lose, what can you do? forcibly suppressed it, as if I didn't dare to compare. The corners of Zhao Hao's face twitched, and he was by no means as relaxed as he said in his mouth.

"The slave knows, Your Majesty." Huai En bowed and retreated to the side, but he was muttering in his heart, what other famous artist in my Da Zhao can fold the sharp spirit of this Southern Tang Dynasty?

...

The reaction of the people was much smaller, and it was a completely happy scene. Anyway, the Northern Zhao literary affairs are not as good as the Southern Tang Dynasty, and they are used to losing and losing, and the Southern Tang Dynasty is also this point. The people of Bianliang City didn't care at all, and even many places also opened handicaps, betting on winning the Ding to appear in the battle is one to three, and Beizhao to win is one to ten. It's a complete gesture of watching the excitement and not thinking of a big deal. Many people who like to be lively and do good things have also prepared firecracker streamers, planning to take advantage of the majesty of Yang Yang and Beizhao. There are also many deep boudoir women who have set up the stands early, to witness the mysterious genius who can make a word and sing Bianliang City. The merchants who provided the venue for free were happy, and this alone had earned back all the costs of building the venue. The entire Bianliang City is calm and looking forward to waiting for that day to come.
