In Guangzhou, in the third hall of the Xingshizi Mansion, Zhu Heji was using an imperial examination to imitate the genius plans of a group of great talents in batches, and told several of his confidants and Dao Scarong who came to Guangzhou to "rush for the exam". . But he was only halfway through what he said, and the people below were already asking questions.
"My lord, can you still pretend to do this?"
"Yeah, how do you pretend to be this?"
"Your Majesty, don't shut up. If you have any clever ideas, just tell me!"
"Yes, Sir, if you have any good ways to fake things, please tell me as soon as possible!"
Zhu Heji stroked his beard, looked at the people around him, and said with a smile: "This is not easy to say, it is not difficult to say... because our exam this time is a provincial examination and a general examination. , the palace examination were held together, so we had to find a simple and quick way to select those who are qualified to participate in the examination from all the talents who came to take the examination. If you want to take the eight-part essay, it would be too much to grade the papers one by one. It's time consuming.
After all, the war is coming, and we don’t have much time to spend on this matter..."
"Qizai, what else can you take if you don't take the essay test?" Mr. Yu, who had just moved his tribe from Chaozhou Prefecture, asked half-jokingly, "You can't take the horseback riding and archery test, right?"
"Master Qi, are you kidding me?" Zhu Heji said with a smile, "It's not a martial arts test, where can I take these tests? Gujia means to test poetry and lyrics!
After the exam, those good words and poems will be posted for others to excerpt, and then compiled into a collection of poems for everyone in the world to appreciate. In this way, people all over the world will know how many literary and talented people support our Ming Dynasty! "
"But where can we find so many good words and poems?" At this time, Eunuch Pang had already discovered that there was a big hole in Zhu Heji's "clever plan". There are not many talented people, so if we don’t help prepare some, I’m afraid the people who come for the exam won’t be able to write!”
Zhu Heji smiled and patted his chest: "This is easy to handle. The Gu family will help them prepare... The Gu family is the best at composing poems and lyrics!"
As soon as this clever plan came out, everyone in the lobby was shocked.
Has your master drunk too much? He actually came up with such a bad idea.
Everyone looked at Military Advisor Zhuge, and their meaning was very clear: "You military advisor, wake up quickly and come up with a clever plan!"
However, Zhuge Military Advisor has always known Zhu Heji's abilities - he "invented" the Zhuge Divine Thunder and the Zhuge Machine Cannon. Maybe he can actually compose poems and lyrics?
So the military advisor shook his goose feather fan and smiled without saying a word.
Da Bo Ling on the side couldn't hold back her anger. She frowned and asked Zhu Heji: "Master, you have never liked poetry... Back then, you were forced by slaves to memorize dozens of poems by Yi An." I soon forgot all my poems. How can I say that I know how to write poetry now? Don’t make some limericks to make people laugh."
Hmm, how dare you question this prince’s literary talents? When Zhu Heji heard this, he became unhappy. He glared at Da Boling and said to himself, "Do you want to be taken care of by the family again?"
Da Bo Ling puffed up her chest as if in protest, "My lord, poetry is not easy to write."
"Come on the questions!" Zhu Heji said, "You just come up with the questions and test me!"
"Then..." Da Bo Ling looked around and saw that there were no outsiders, so let's take the test! The worst case scenario is that when I go back, I'll go to each house to do the law...
Thinking of this, Da Bo Ling blushed and said, "Master Shizi, let's write a song called "Bodhisattva Man" based on the first meeting between you and me."
"Bodhisattvaman" is a brand of poetry. In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, the popularity of writing poetry flourished, and a large number of famous poets emerged. Ye Yuling, a woman from a scholarly family, naturally liked poetry, so she published it. Zhu Heji was troubled by a question about writing lyrics.
But Da Bo Ling, who wanted to embarrass others, did not expect that Zhu Heji was really knowledgeable!
When he was in college in Beijing, he fell in love with an artistic young woman who was studying at "a certain vocational college in Wudaokou", so he worked hard on poetry. Although he didn't get the girl in the end due to various reasons, he memorized almost all of Nalan Xingde's poems and works.
Now Nalan Xingde is only sixteen years old, and most of those popular poems have not been written yet!
Since Nalan Xingde hasn't written it yet, then if Zhu Heji uses it, it won't be considered an infringement of intellectual property rights, right?
Thinking of this, Zhu Dacai smiled and said to Da Bo Ling: "Sister Ling, listen carefully... The sun is setting half of the small building, and the red curtain is tilted to control the soft gold hook. You can't worry when you lean on the railing. A Yingying rode by on horseback, wearing light makeup and light shades of black. She looked shy but turned around. "
"Good! Good lyrics! What a great song "Bodhisattva Man"... Master Shizi, you are really good at composing lyrics! Who taught you this?"
The loudest applause is Master Guo. Although Master Guo has no fame, he is really knowledgeable and can also compose lyrics and poems... Even his poems have the taste of Tianjin Weishi. But he still knows his stuff!
"Not bad, really good..." Mr. Yu also knew a little bit. He had won the imperial examination. He smiled and said at this moment, "Qi Zai, let me test you too!"
"Please ask Mr. Qi to come up with the questions." Zhu Heji is not afraid of exams, he is an "examination expert"!
Mr. Yu pointed at Military Advisor Zhuge and said with a smile: "Then let me take the exam as a question and write an ancient poem."
The so-called imitation of ancient poetry is to imitate the poetry of the ancients, usually "five characters", "seven uniques" and so on.
Zhu Hesheng wore a big beard and looked like a talented person (a talented person in some class). After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth and came up with "Sitting Alone in the Autumn Sky" by Miao Peilin, a warlord during the Taiping Rebellion. Not many people in later generations knew about this poem, but one of the lines, "I am laughing at the sky from my horizontal sword," has been handed down from generation to generation, and was even used by Tan Sitong. So Zhu Heji also knew this poem.
I saw Zhu Heji twisting his beard, brewing his emotions for a while, and then recited loudly: "Putting a broken scroll in his hand and facing the green lantern, he sat alone with the curtain and counted the stars; the six screens opened in the dark autumn, and the insects chirped in the night. .
The cuckoo cries, the blood is white, the frost is white, and the evil spirit peeks into the light of the lamp. I smile to the sky from my horizontal sword, and I will never miss the sutra by mistake again in this life. "
"Your Majesty, are these words and poems really written by Ni? They couldn't have been copied from somewhere, right?"
Master Guo is an expert and knows that every word of the poem that Zhu Heji just "improvised" is a masterpiece that can be handed down from generation to generation!
Without extremely high literary accomplishment and talent, ordinary scholars cannot do it. Even those with extremely high talents are unlikely to be able to pronounce famous quotes from generation to generation...so it is not surprising that Mr. Guo has such doubts.
"Master Guo, who do you think is plagiarizing?" Eunuch Pang, the governor of the East Factory, said - if you accuse the prince of plagiarism, you will be beheaded!
After scaring Master Guo, he turned around and asked Zhu Heji: "Master, you really didn't copy it, did you?"
"It must not have been copied," Da Bo Ling now knew that she was wrong and had to go to the house to punish her, but she still spoke for Zhu Heji with a happy face, "The prince has been very smart since he was a child. He can write at the age of three, and can write poems at the age of five. Extraordinary talent... Besides, where can I copy such good words and poems?"
Zhu Heji smiled and nodded at Da Bo Ling, his attitude was good...but he still had to practice family law! It must be implemented even more!
Then Zhu Heji said confidently: "Just believe me! I have one or two hundred poems in my mind that are enough to be passed down to the world, which are unknown to others...enough to imitate seventy-two great talents!" If there are seventy-two talented people from a wealthy family, then Xuan Ye should also suspect that all the talented people from Jiangnan are all thinking about me, right?"
He then said to his uncle Dao Scarong, who had just come from Quanzhou: "Dao Scarong, come to the Shizi Mansion tomorrow after San Yamen, I will teach you how to write poems and lyrics... I will teach you word by word. Guarantee you to write a good line that will be handed down from generation to generation! If you want to be the number one scholar, you must have a few good words and poems that will be handed down from generation to generation."
Zhu Heji's "Wen Chao Gong" was actually a charlatan.
Other "Wen Chao Gong" all like to show off, but Zhu Heji doesn't like to be in the limelight... He is Zhu San's grandson and a great sage, so he still needs to be in the limelight personally? The limelight of my younger brother is his limelight!
Moreover, he is a Chaozhou native, so he is more willing to promote younger generations of fellow villagers, give some investment, distribute some traffic, and even pass on some technology, so that everyone can make a fortune together!
Therefore, he was willing to give Zhuge Sanhe his "gold finger" points and promoted him from a third-rate strategist to a super strategist on the same level as Zhuge Liang.
Now I am willing to use Nalan Xingde's poems to cultivate a group of "rich scholars". Even if they cannot reach the height of Zhuge's military advisor, they can still be used as a facade to bluff people!
Seeing that everyone below was impressed by his "literary talent", Zhu Heji smiled and said: "Now that the problem of poetry has been solved, let's issue decrees to Guangfu, Chaozhou, Qiongzhou, and the states and counties under the jurisdiction of the Yanping Palace. ..... Invite talented people from all over the country to come to Guangzhou to take the exam! The Military Advisor Office will then send agents to go to Guangdong, Guangdong, Fujian, Huguang, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Jiangnan to post notices, inviting talented people who are determined to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty to come to Guangzhou to take the exam for reference, and work together to achieve great things !”
He paused and then said: "When my father, Master Chen, Master Lao Zhu, Master Xiao Zhu, and Master Qu all arrive in Guangzhou, we will open courses to obtain bachelor's degrees!"
