"Li Yishan's poems are not only gorgeous and carved, but also contain profound satire..."
"It's a pity that this trend has died down in today's literary world. Most of them only describe the wealth and wealth of the leisurely years in words and sentences. The emotions are far less true and sincere than Li Yishan's!"
"It's true. Four or six prose is prevalent in the literary world. Paying attention to the parallelism of words is the best thing. I don't want to write parallel prose..."
"But if you want to be a Jinshi, you have to study parallel prose."
"I'm not interested in Jinshi!"
"Wuxie, you are so hated by others..."
Di Jin's theory is feasible, and Guo Chengshou's practice is rich. Combining the two, the various essences of Xikun style are quickly analyzed.
Every time he sings about wealth and honor, he does not talk about gold and jade, but only about his atmosphere.
Unintentionally, through some details, people who read the poems know that I live a life of a wealthy family, isn't it the Versailles of later generations~
Of course, it must be a high-level Versailles. If a poor man pretends to be a poor man, he will be ridiculed as a "beggar" by Yan Shu. Even if Yan Shu is from a very low background, it is undeniable that there are indeed some innate qualities in his poems. Come with wealth and nobility.
The same is true for Guo Chengshou. He may not be as talented as Yan Shu, but he is rich and noble. He is just unwilling to take the Jinshi examination because he is too lazy to become an official.
Di Jin discovered why this guy was not popular.
Even if the other students in the academy came from good families, they worked tirelessly and studied hard to be admitted to the imperial examination. But Guo Wuxie, the most talented person, had no intention of becoming an official at all.
"I am a relative and I am in poor health. The imperial examination and becoming an official are a good way for you, but it is a dead end for me..."
Guo Chengshou laughed at himself, with a bit of unwillingness in his eyes, and stared at him again: "Brother Shi Lin, are you confident in winning Jie Yuan in this Bingzhou Jie Yuan test?"
Di Jin said: "I'm not sure about being number one in high school."
Guo Chengshou bowed and saluted: "I hope Brother Shilin will give it a try and return my honor!"
Di Jin looked at him and sighed lightly.
No wonder Guo Chengshou actively helped during this period, so that everyone in the academy knew that he did not spend as much time listening to lectures as he did here. It turned out that he was preparing to use his own results to prove his talent.
In his opinion, this logic is obviously unworkable. Even if he is able to understand the Yuan, he can still learn it through his own talent. Others will still discuss it, but Guo Chengshou looks free and easy, but in fact he is extremely sensitive in his heart. He is really forced to do nothing. Already...
"Forget it! Brother Wuxie is helping me like this. If I don't come back with a solution, wouldn't I be sorry for you?"
So Di Jin directly agreed and said with a smile: "Registration for the exam has been opened. Brother Wuxie, please help me with my fellow subjects to jointly guarantee it!"
Guo Chengshou showed joy: "This is natural, but thanks to my gift, there are no other students in the academy who are friendly with you. What should I do if there are still four people left?"
Because it was difficult to check information in ancient times, scholars had to take part in the interpretation test at the local level. The registration was very formal. Not only did they have to be present in person and accept the inquiry, but they also had to find five people they knew who were in the same field to jointly prove that they were who they were.
To put it bluntly, you cannot take the exam on your behalf to prevent identity cheating.
After the local yamen receives the scholar's registration, it will be sent to the Ministry of Etiquette of the capital, and it will be sent back to the local government after review. Therefore, the registration time is very early, and you can report it before the year.
Di Jin is most concerned about his future, and of course he will not delay it: "I asked Xiao Yi to go to the original school and find a few classmates to vouch for me with Wu Xie."
"Then let's go!"
Guo Chengshou arranged the carriage, and Di Jin took the family documents and headed towards the state government together.
To take the examination in Bingzhou, you naturally have to go to the yamen of the same state. Duan Chenggong and Pan Chengju were both in county yamen before. Fortunately, Yangqu County is the administrative seat of Bingzhou, and the yamen is only one street away from the county government.
When passing by the county government office, Di Jin happened to notice that the county captain Pan Chengju hurriedly walked out with several government officials. It seemed that there was something urgent.
"This guy is really busy..."
Thinking that the county captain had to work overtime again and torment the government officials, Di Jin silently wished him to solve more cases and make the environment where he lived peaceful and harmonious, and then looked at the state government office.
Facts have proved that there are many people who are as motivated as him. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the state government, five scholars came out. The leader was an acquaintance, Wei Yuan, a lecturer at Jinyang Academy.
"Mr. Zhongru!"
"Wuxie! Shilin!"
Due to Guo Chengshou, Di Jin didn't have much contact with the lecturers in the academy. The only one he interacted with in the past few days was the youngest gentleman, and his impression was not bad.
This person knew that his qualifications were still relatively low and he did not try to climb the mountain. He also worked hard quietly. Di Jin had met him several times and he had the resonance of a motivated person.
It's a pity that Wei Yuan is not good at Xikun style, but likes Jia Dao's "Late Tang style". Otherwise, it would be good to sing with him.
Wei Yuan obviously also came to sign up for the test. The four scholars who were traveling with him were all lecturing in the academy or teaching in the academy. After introducing each other, they found that they had basically won the imperial examination, but they were rejected in the second tribute examination.
Since Di Jin still had to wait for three classmates to arrive, everyone started chatting outside the yamen office: "The capital tribute examination brings together the world's best literary talents. How difficult it is to stand out!"
Di Jin nodded slightly. This group of people enjoyed the best educational resources in the local area and stood out with their solid academic skills. But when they arrived at the Ministry of Etiquette of the Capital, where top students from 400 military prefectures in the world gathered together, they had to have the skills to take exams.
To put it bluntly, it means catering to the mainstream, using gorgeous rhetoric and sonorous rhythm as beauty!
If you still retain your own style and persistence, unless your talent is truly earth-shattering, it will be difficult to pass the tribute examination.
Through the conversation, I could vaguely feel the arrogance of this group of scholars, and Di Jin was really not optimistic about their future in the imperial examination.
"Someone is here again! Eh...is it him? That Liu Jieyuan?"
Just as he was talking, another group of people arrived, making the atmosphere weird.
The person who came was none other than Liu Changyan, and he was accompanied by Yang Wencai. The two students who had previously wanted to reconcile with Guo Chengshou but were severely ignored were also among them.
Liu Changyan no longer smelled of alcohol, but his eye sockets were sunken and his figure became thinner. When he saw Guo Chengshou, his faint eyes immediately looked over with a look of deep hatred, and he was even about to walk this way. .
"Don't go, they are outnumbered!"
Yang Wencai pulled, and Liu Changyan reluctantly stopped and shouted coldly: "Guo Chengshou, do you want to take the exam?"
Guo Chengshou used to be angry that this person was shameless and beat him up. Now that he knows the truth, his enthusiasm wanes: "It's not me, I'm just here to recommend him."
Liu Changyan said: "Shameless people who plagiarized my poems! I don't even dare to forgive you!"
Guo Chengshou's face darkened: "The truth has been revealed. Are you crazy, and you still dare to say such evil things?"
"The truth comes out...the truth comes out..."
Liu Changyan murmured, then suddenly laughed wildly: "You let your old slave bear the blame, and you also told a big lie, pretending to be my father, is the truth coming out? Bah! You just want to confuse right and wrong! Guo Chengshou, unless you do it now Kill me, otherwise not only Bingzhou, I will go to the Kaifeng government office to file a complaint, all the way to the officials!"
Guo Chengshou's chest heaved and his face turned pale with anger.
But Yang Wencai still spoke: "Brother Liu, be careful! With the power of the Guo family, it is not easy to kill you, a small scholar. We are really in a hurry. When you go to Beijing to take the exam, there will inevitably be some shortcomings! "
Liu Changyan screamed: "There is no need to fear death! There is no need to fear death!"
Seeing that people in the government office came out to stop him, Guo Chengshou could no longer hold back his anger and walked away.
The Guo family really didn't dare to touch this person, otherwise the rationale would become unreasonable. Anyone who encounters this kind of dog-skin plaster would be extremely disgusted.
Seeing this, the others stopped chatting and scattered, shaking their heads.
Di Jin's eyes fell on Yang Wencai.
Just when Guo Chengshou was angry and walked away, he clearly saw a flash of pride and hatred on the face of this young man from the Yang family who was suffering from severe kidney failure.
