Chapter 224 This King Believes
Chapter 224 I believe it
"Read this article."
The Taifu handed an answer sheet to the other scholars who participated in the evaluation.
"The articles recommended by the Master are naturally excellent."
The great Confucians all agreed.
"Everyone, come and take a look. I personally think this article is a model."
The Taifu stroked his beard and said with a smile.
However, the great scholars did not realize that there was something complicated about the Taifu's smile.
The scholars took the answer sheet with great interest, and the first thing they noticed was the somewhat bad handwriting.
"This word needs to be improved," a great scholar said with a frown.
"The handwriting is a small issue, the real value is the content."
"Afang Palace Fu, is this a fu? It's really strange that there are still some young people who write fu."
A great scholar marveled at it, and then began to read it carefully.
"When the six kings are finished, the four seas are one... The descendants will mourn and fail to take note of it, which will also make the descendants mourn for the descendants again."
After reading it, the great Confucians fell into silence.
"This article is really concise in language, neat but not cluttered, rich but not flashy, powerful and bold in style."
Great scholars praised this article one after another.
To be honest, even from the perspective of great scholars like them, this Afang Palace Fu is a masterpiece.
However, the Taifu looked complicated and turned over the other side of the answer sheet and handed it to these great scholars.
"Everyone, please read this article and drink wine."
"Oh? It was also written by this wizard?"
The great scholars became interested one after another.
A genius who can write such a majestic Afang Palace poem, the poem he wrote is not too bad.
Sure enough, when they circulated this article about drinking wine, they were all amazed.
"The atmosphere is wild and the momentum is high. This is a masterpiece."
"Emotions, anger, sorrow and joy burst out like rivers, unstoppable. It not only expresses heroic and free feelings, but also appears to be smooth, lyrical and powerful, open and closed, and has distinctive characteristics."
"Master Taifu, who wrote this unique masterpiece?"
The Taifu shook his head and said in an inexplicably complicated tone, "Look at the front again."
The great scholars all laughed and said, "A genius who can write two masterpieces, how can he be so bad at quoting classics?"
"You will know after seeing it."
The great scholars smiled and turned to the front, and then question marks appeared on their faces.
"It's actually...all wrong?"
"What a genius. The classics are not correct at all, and yet they can write such a famous piece."
"If we look at those two excellent works, it would be more than enough to give him an A-grade. But if you combine this poor writing with a classic that is not right at all, it will be an A-grade."
"I don't think there's any need to be so harsh. If he can write such a famous piece, why not give him a first-class honors?"
"No, this word is too much. Besides, I don't know anything about Confucian classics. How can I give this kind of person a first-class rating? Even a first-class rating seems too much to me."
"Pedantry! The literary test is only about the essay's merit. If it were just the essay's merit, this person is fully worthy of the first class."
"Yes, after all, the classic part is just to examine the basics."
"I don't even know the basics. It's hard to tell whether these two excellent works are based on previous works. It's definitely not good for A-level."
"Master Li is right. Although the classics are not the focus of the investigation, the classics are so bad that it is difficult to say whether these two masterpieces were written by himself."
"Master Taifu, what do you think?"
Only then did many great scholars notice the complicated look on Tai Fu's face.
"Hey, don't you want to know who wrote this?"
"Does Master know whose masterpiece this is?"
Speaking of this, Taifu's expression became even more complicated.
"It's...the daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Yanming."
After the name was spoken, all the great scholars fell silent.
"If it is her," someone said, "then she must be given a grade A."
"It's not like I'm ranked first. Based on the level of these two articles, it's not too much to give me a first place."
"Then it's decided."
…
"Did you write this?"
Ji Hongsu looked serious. He sat opposite Jiang Yanming and looked at Jiang Yanming.
There was a piece of rice paper lying on the table in front of the two of them. The content on the paper was the Fu of Afang Palace and General Jinjiu written by Jiang Yanming in the literary test.
"Why not?"
Jiang Yanming smiled.
"It better be."
"Let's not talk about anything else. As for the drinking, I recited it a few days ago when I was drunk. You can also testify for me."
"That's true, but I still don't believe that an idiot like you can write such a fine work as Afang Palace Fu."
"What do you mean? How about I write another article for you?"
"Okay."
Ji Hongsu narrowed his eyes and stared at Jiang Yanming.
"The theme is the fall of the Qin Dynasty and the First Emperor's visit to immortals seeking immortality. I will write it now."
"Let this lady think about it."
Jiang Yanming picked up the pen and thought about which song would meet Ji Hongsu's requirements.
"Yes!"
Jiang Yanming took up his pen and wrote, "The king of Qin swept Liuhe, how heroic is the tiger's eye..."
After Jiang Yanming finished writing, Jiang Yanming let out a sigh of relief.
"The king of Qin is sweeping Liuhe, and he is so majestic. He is as wild and arrogant as ever."
Ji Hongsu was stunned for a long time, and then clapped his hands.
"Now I believe it." Ji Hongsu said with a smile, "I didn't expect that a little fool like you could have such ability. I have never heard of the daughter of Duke Jiang having such literary talent before."
Jiang Yanming shook his head, "Actually, I didn't have this level a long time ago, but times have changed."
Although I don’t know where Jiang Yanming’s sudden rise in literary level came from, she does have real talent and learning.
Knowing this is enough for Ji Hongsu. As for where her literary talent comes from, it is not important to Ji Hongsu.
Just like the Thousand-Character Classic and Disciple Rules he obtained from Jiang Yanming, Ji Hongsu didn't care how Jiang Yanming knew these things, he only wanted the final results.
"Now that I have determined your true level, I will leave first and go back to prepare for the martial arts test."
Ji Hongsu, as the one with the highest martial arts value among the princes, is naturally responsible for the martial arts examination.
"Martial arts test? I remember the content of the martial arts test is... polo, right?"
Ji Hongsu nodded, "Yes, it's polo. Little fool, if you're worried, you can practice it in advance."
Jiang Yanming shook his head, "There are only two days left, there is no need."
And when it comes to polo, the original owner is very good.
The culture of women in the capital is open, and some young men and their daughters often play polo together to promote relationships.
As one of the top rich men, the original owner naturally knew how to play polo. Moreover, in the original book, the original owner's polo level was not low, and he even got a grade below A in the martial arts examination.
Although Jiang Yanming did not inherit all the skills of the original owner, but combined with the memory of the original owner, at least there is no problem in passing the martial arts test.
Probably?
"I'm leaving now. If you have anything to do, come to Prince Shen's Mansion to see me."
"Go slowly and don't see me off."
