system of princes and generals

Chapter 111 The body has no phoenix and flying wings

This first session was a question given by Emperor Wu. It was not about major national affairs, but just a small love in the world. Everyone was a little surprised. The children of the aristocratic family originally thought that Emperor Wu would test some ways of governing the country and the livelihood of the people.

Everyone has a think tank behind them, just like betting on the college entrance examination. Before the competition, the teachers behind them have analyzed for them, the key points of the previous exams, and the preferences of the questioners.

Emperor Wu personally came up with the questions, which is equivalent to the national examination, so naturally he had to rely on the high and the high, but Emperor Wu did not take the usual path this time, which surprised all the scholars.

affection.

Huo Guang said silently in his heart and curled his lips.

There are many people who sign up, some are really talented, and some are ignorant.

It can be seen at this time whether it is a mule or a horse.

Emperor Wu in the stands, his eyes fell on the contestants who were answering in the ring, his eyes slowly swept across them one by one, starting from Huan Wuping, and finally fell on Huo Guang.

Emperor Wu frowned slightly. The contestants in front were either thinking carefully or answering seriously. Only Huo Guang seemed to be distracted, not focusing on the paper in front of him at all.

The time for a stick of incense was coming soon, Rong An stared at Huo Guang closely, but saw that he seemed to have written at the beginning of the game, so he didn't start writing again.

Except for Huo Guang, everyone else was eager to write quickly, and there was simply not enough time. They had to think, and they had to think about writing slowly.

So from the stage, it was very obvious that everyone lowered their heads, and only Huo Guang raised their heads.It looked out of place.

Rong An anxiously poked his head for a while, rubbed the hem of his clothes for a while, and almost stood up to read Huo Guang's test paper.

Li Qing said in Xu Zhang's ear, "I never expected that His Majesty's question would be about the love between men and women."

"It was originally to recruit a son-in-law for the princess. It's not surprising." Although Xu Zhang said so, Xu Zhang's heart was already flustered, and he didn't expect the emperor to ask such a question. In vain.

"Huo Guang will come to participate in the competition." Li Qing's eyes fell on Huo Guang, and the corners of his eyes trembled, "I think he doesn't have much ability, it's just a vain appearance."

Xu Zhang sneered, "Everyone was writing seriously, but he was writing in a hurry, and he probably couldn't even write a few sentences.

Li Qing also snickered a few times.

A stick of incense is neither long nor short. The exam time is like this. It is not short for those who know how to do it, but it is not enough for those who don't know how to do it.

From the moment Huo Guang jumped onto the ring to sitting at the table to answer his questions, he never took a good look at the stage, and he did not squint at the stage when he bowed to Emperor Wu.

Although Huo Qubing was a military general, he could see how most people responded at a glance. Only his younger brother was the most special. He wrote without thinking, and after writing a few words, he went to watch the fun.

Huo Guang was thinking that if he met that crazy girl again after the competition, he would take him back to his house to get money. He would not pay for meals and let the girl pay for him. It was really not his style.

He secretly said in his heart that the time for a stick of incense is really long, Huo Guang didn't think about any calligraphy, anyway, it was just a few lines of poems, and he finished writing them all at once.

And I can't hand in the papers in advance, so I can only sit here and look around, so as to pass the time.

Zhang Xiangkun stared at the small piece of incense that was about to burn out, and finally glanced at everyone in the ring, cleared his throat.

"It's game time, let's put pen to paper."

Hearing this sentence, everyone put down their pens one after another.Some are reluctant to let go, some are confident, and of course there are those who think that the time is finally up, such as Huo Guang.

The little official pushed up the display shelf and hung everyone's answer sheets on the shelf.

Arranged in order of seating.

When Emperor Wu stepped down from the stands, other people had long wanted to go down to have a look, but Emperor Wu didn't move, no one dared to move.

The first one is Huan Wuping's article. Emperor Wu read it carefully word by word. He knew in his heart that Huan Wuping had some knowledge of Han culture, but he didn't expect that his calligraphy is like flowing water, and his articles are also unique. Two words.

Emperor Wu wanted to be partial, but he couldn't find a reason to say that his writing was not good. He could only read on and hope that others could be better.

However, Emperor Wu still overestimated the level of other people. When he saw the second article, Emperor Wu couldn't help but frowned, and there was a trace of displeasure in front of his eyes. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, so his expression is no longer so good-looking.

Ministers also have eyes, especially today most of them are civil servants, there are not a few who are good at writing articles, who can tell who writes well and who writes badly at a glance.

"Master Xu, this is your nephew, right?"

The nerves in the corners of Xu Zhang's eyes couldn't help twitching, and an embarrassed expression appeared on his face, "Uh, yes." He laughed dryly twice to cover up the urge to find a crack in the ground at this moment.

Fortunately, there are quite a few players participating in the competition today. Even if the second one is not good, there will always be someone with outstanding literary talents. Emperor Wu thought to himself, the next one will definitely be better.

Fortunately, the next one did not disappoint Emperor Wu. Although it is not perfect, it can be regarded as above-average at least. It is always not far behind Huan Wuping. Maybe the next game can compete with it.

His gaze continued to move on the shelves full of articles, and his mood also fluctuated up and down, sometimes nodding slightly, sometimes sighing softly, trying his best to conceal the disappointment and anger in his heart.

The contestants were still sitting in their seats, only the ministers who were originally sitting in the stands surrounded the display racks, and the common people under the ring also wanted to see it, but most of them could not read. The reason why they wanted to see it was It's like people who don't understand painting watching other people's painting, don't know much, just watch it lively.

At this time, everyone on the stage had already gathered in front of the paper of the last article. At first, what attracted them was not the content, but the imaginative handwriting.

"Zhang Xiangkun, have you seen this kind of calligraphy before?" Emperor Wu couldn't help asking Zhang Xiangkun behind him.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this is the first time I have seen you."

I saw a few lines crookedly written on the paper. Although it is not neat, each word has its own unique characteristics, which makes people unable to forget once they see it.

Looking at the content of the article again, Zhang Xiangkun couldn't help reading it because of the style, the writing was neat, and the content was contradictory.

"Last night the stars and the last night wind, the west side of the painting building and the east of Guitang. There is no colorful phoenix flying wings on the body, but the heart has a clear understanding. The next seat is to send the hook spring wine to warm up, and the Cao shoots the wax lamp to be red. I will listen to the drum and go to the official, and go to Malan Turntables."

Everyone followed Zhang Xiangkun's speed, reading word by word, and nodded, "Okay, it's really well written."

Princess Rong An came down from the stands and went straight to Huo Guang's article. When others read this, she had actually read it many times in her heart.Silently read, "The body has no colorful phoenix and wings, but the heart has a tacit understanding."
