The people here are all the top scholars in the world today, and most of them know Fang Yingwu’s deeds. Who can’t hear the metaphor in this quatrain?
First of all, it is normal for Fang Yingwu to compare himself with plum blossoms. The number of literati who compare themselves with plum blossoms has been as numerous as the sands of the Ganges since ancient times. It is nothing strange.
Secondly, the two words "Xue Hou" at the beginning of the chapter probably refer to Fang Yingwu's "serious setback" in the palace examination. A favorite who was relying on Hui Yuan's momentum to be the number one scholar finally encountered a shady situation and did not even make it to the Three Tripods. The blow can be imagined.
Everyone was sympathetic to the other party's opinions (even the doubts about the examination were covered up).
Thirdly, when they heard the words "The spring beauty lies in the Fang family", they felt an unyielding arrogance rushing towards them. But no one felt that Fang Yingwu was arrogant, because Fang Yingwu certainly had the capital to be proud. Both father and son of the Fang family
Kuiyuan, the two Hanlins, and the two imperial prisons are unique at least among the scholars today.
However, after Fang Yingwu himself suffered a "heavy blow" and was demoted to the county magistrate, he did not feel depressed. He worked hard to support the strong and help the weak, to promote the good and eliminate the bad. In just a few months, there were faint signs of a clear sky, and the power of faith of the people in the capital gradually gathered.
, it is not an exaggeration to say "the spring scenery stays in the Fang family".
Fourth, "laughing at it makes all the peaches and plums fly away, but there is no frost festival in the old clouds". If you put it elsewhere, you might not know who it is talking about, but in this context, it is easy to understand. It alludes to standing in front of the poet.
Zhang Zhuangyuan, I just need to name him directly.
After thinking about it together, everyone felt that although these four sentences were short, they had infinite meaning. Especially the two sentences before and after seemed to be unrelated, but they formed a wonderful fusion in the aura, creating a sharp contrast, which in turn made the contrast
The meaning is more meaningful.
I'm afraid that after today, "The sky leaves the spring scenery in the Fang family", this sentence that shows the elegance of celebrities, will become the iconic poem of Fang Yingwu and his son. Hearing this sentence, it seems to be similar to hearing "The world's talented people"
There is a stone, Cao Zijian has eight buckets, I have one bucket, and the world shares one bucket."
However, this is after all a party with a more "wine and meat" nature, not a pure gathering of literati. Everyone quickly broke away from the artistic conception of savoring poetry, and focused their attention on Fang Yingwu and Zhang Tianrui again.
In fact, this is not just a fight for a seat, but a war, a war for the top spot in the Xinchouke Jinshi group in the 17th year of Chenghua.
If we look at the past years, this shouldn't be a problem. During the period when the imperial examination was over and the officialdom was first entered, the number one scholar was the natural leader. Then as the years went by, fine-tuning would be made based on each person's official position and reputation.
It's just that in this year, Fang Yingwu, a man of great influence, has emerged, almost comprehensively overwhelming Zhang Tianrui, the number one pick who has a poor reputation in public opinion...
Just now, Zhang Tianrui couldn't hold himself back and asked Fang Yingwu to give up his position aggressively. He even used the name of teacher Fang Yingwu, but it seemed a bit strong and unreasonable; but Fang Yingwu didn't show any weakness and just chanted calmly and calmly.
He responded with an exquisite quatrain, insinuating that Zhang Tianrui was not worthy of sitting in the chief chair.
If it was just a back and forth kicking the ball back and forth at the beginning, and everyone's expressions were very reserved, then now it's a bit of a disagreement and they have to roll up their sleeves and go into battle.
But Fang Yingwu recited a sarcastic poem, which made Zhang Tianrui feel extremely humiliated, and anger rushed straight to his forehead.
But he knew that he was definitely not Fang Yingwu's opponent in reciting poems and writing lyrics. He suppressed his anger and talked loudly: "The title of the Golden Palace was appointed by the emperor. It is a pity that Brother Fang failed to take the lead. But Geng Geng
To this day, if I use the topic at the banquet of the same year, I will be regarded as narrow-minded and weak-minded."
Fang Yingwu sneered secretly, did he really care so much about the name of a champion that he still couldn't let go of it? Of course not, he just used this as an excuse to build his own image.
Then he retorted: "The sage said that I should examine myself three times every day, but when a person makes a mistake, he does not examine himself and admit his mistake. Instead, he blames the victim and cannot be magnanimous... Please comment, what is the truth of this?"
Before Zhang Tianrui could speak, Xiang Chengxian suddenly spoke first and said with dignity and dignity: "Brother Zhang Nian is the leader of this department, and his words and deeds should set an example for three hundred years!
In fact, Brother Fang’s intention is not to quarrel with Brother Zhang Nian. But because of the friendship between us, he wants to remind Brother Zhang Nian to cultivate his self-reflection, correct his mistakes and promote good deeds, so that when we are three hundred years old, our faces will be bright! As the saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease.
Good advice that offends your ears will help your deeds!"
Everyone here was thoughtful after hearing this. What Xiang Chengxian said is worth pondering... It is nonsense to say that Fang Yingwu wanted to help Zhang Tianrui correct his mistakes. What is worth pondering is the other side.
If the iconic figure among the 300 Jinshi in their subject is Zhang Tianrui, then what glory does their face have? It is rumored that this person was not in the top ten, but with the support of his second assistant Liu Jue, he was blatantly squeezed out in front of the imperial court.
Fang Yingwu got the first prize.
There are a lot of things going on inside the imperial examination. Without Fang Yingwu to set it off, how Zhang Tianrui got the top prize would be vague. As time goes by, some rumors will naturally disappear. But with Fang Yingwu, he keeps revealing the truth.
With scars, it's a different story...
On the contrary, if the iconic figure among their three hundred people is Fang Yingwu, who has great achievements and famous reputation, his face will be much more beautiful. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is extremely glorious, and Zhang Tianrui is far from comparable.
Xiang Chengxian's words were not over yet, and everyone heard him continue: "The sage also said, repay evil with kindness, how to repay kindness? If Brother Fang sees Brother Zhang Nian making a big mistake but intentionally condones it, one day Brother Zhang Nian will wake up and understand
When I discovered my own mistakes, how should I deal with myself if my brother Fang, who is of the same age, failed to fulfill his duty of admonishing me?"
Fang Yingwu was stunned for a moment. When did Xiang Chengxian learn to speak high-minded truths? Is it true that someone who is close to Zhu is red?
After saying that, Mr. Xiang gave Fang Yingwu a look, "Brother, my words are like gold. I don't need to return the thirty taels of silver to you!"
Fang Yingwu woke up immediately. He knew that this was not the time for him to be in a daze, so he lowered his head cooperatively and let out a long sigh, as if everything was silent.
It was not convenient for him to say those words himself, but the eldest son was indeed a good brother. He had a tacit understanding at the critical moment, and his support was just right. The debt of thirty taels of silver could be reduced by half!
Son of a bitch! Zhang Tianrui was furious and cursed Xiang Chengxian in his heart. None of Fang Yingwu's poems were so hateful! Fang Yingwu's poems were limited to metaphors and innuendos, but Xiang Chengxian's words clearly referred to a deer as a horse.
Black and white!
If Zhang Tianrui did not rely on his secondary assistant to get the top prize, wouldn't Fang Yingwu also rely on the prime minister's father-in-law to win the top prize into his arms? Could it be that just because he succeeded and Fang Yingwu didn't, he became a tainted figure?
Fang Yingwu became a tragic gentleman?
He was annoyed, but Zhang Zhuangyuan couldn't speak to two people with one mouth, especially some things he couldn't say by himself. He looked around helplessly, but saw that everyone's eyes were evasive, and no one was willing to speak up.
In this situation, Zhang Tianrui felt lonely as never before. The people around him were obviously in the same year as him, but they all seemed to have become strangers; they were sitting within easy reach, but they seemed to be so far away that they could not touch each other.
Less than.
After spending the longest moment in his life, Zhang Zhuangyuan felt ashamed to stay here. He waved his sleeves fiercely, with a sad look on his face, and turned around and left with despair.
Fang Yingwu sat firmly on the chair, watching Zhang Tianrui's back disappear at the top of the stairs, feeling a new understanding of life in his heart.
At the beginning, my blood was boiling. Although I had always stressed that I should be calm and rational, I was still almost carried away by the easily obtained number one. After all, it was the glory of the world. How many scholars and pseudo-students could refuse this honor?
However, after Liu Mianhua made a big splash, he decisively stopped and allowed himself to be ruthlessly suppressed to the eleventh place... Now it seems that this is indeed a sophisticated move that has insight into the world.
This repetition transformed me from a suspected cheater who relied on his father-in-law to an innocent gentleman who had been wronged in the eyes of the world.
If I had to strive for the title of No. 1 Scholar at that time, then I would be the only one standing here being pointed at by others. You know, the No. 1 Scholar is so dazzling, and if you don’t have excellent real skills, you simply can’t bear it.
...People should not be too greedy, there is always a burden that they cannot bear!
PS: Damn, it was supposed to be the third update last night, but this chapter took too much time on my brain, so I fell asleep again! My sub-healthy body just can’t stand it! If I can still write three chapters today, then I’ll pay off the update debt.
