Chapter 112 Sunrise... Nima!
All the students opened their eyes wide.
The color difficulty is actually very easy to match, so how could Chen Changan lose? Where did he lose?
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Chen Fusheng puffed out his chest and explained excitedly.
"Brother Jiu, I told you, I read it in ancient books."
"Confucian sage Confucius had a disciple named Zixia. Zixia once asked Confucius what filial piety is."
"Confucius answered with two words: 色难."
"That is to say, it is most difficult for children to treat their parents kindly and pleasantly for a long time."
Chen Fusheng looked at Chen Changan earnestly: "Brother Jiu, do you... understand what I mean?"
In front of everyone, Chen Fusheng did not say it clearly.
People in Da Chu always talk about filial piety. In addition to taking the imperial examinations, as long as they are filial, they can also become officials in the court.
This is what is meant by selecting filial and honest people.
Chen Fusheng wrote this couplet to clearly tell Chen Changan that he has to be filial.
Pointing a knife at your own parents, is this filial piety?
Li Desheng was very proud and nodded repeatedly.
Chen Fusheng was indeed well prepared. This extremely short couplet examines not the literal meaning but the connotation.
Ha, what is the connotation of “easy” in the top scholar?
The King of Huainan was naturally happy: "Fusheng, good, not bad, you didn't disappoint me!"
Chen Fusheng bowed his head happily, and Chen Changan certainly had nothing to say.
The emperor knew Chen Changan's attitude towards the King of Huainan and shook his head slightly: "Chen Qing..."
At this moment, Chen Fusheng thought that he was being talked about!
He immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, please speak clearly!"
Chen Fusheng knelt down to the emperor excitedly. He thought that he had finally suppressed Chen Changan.
Happy, it's worth being happy!
The emperor's eyes darkened and he sneered, "Chen Bangyan, I only want you to study in the Imperial College. Can I give you a position?"
Chen Fusheng shuddered: "No, but Weichen's talent..."
The emperor was very unhappy: "Talent is talent, and position is position! When I say Chen Qing, I mean Chen Changan, don't speak nonsense!"
Chen Fusheng blushed and the King of Huainan knelt down in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, my son is still young. Please, Your Majesty, for my sake, do not pursue the matter."
The emperor snorted coldly and gave face to Prince Huainan.
He made his words clearer: "My dear minister Chang'an, from the perspective of parallelism, your couplet is in opposition to it."
"But from the story of the runner-up, we can find some shortcomings."
"The runner-up said you lost, what do you say?"
Chen Changan just shook his head: "Chen Fusheng, you think you have read a few books, so you want to compete with me in connotation?"
"Check your conscience, are you worthy of this?"
Chen Fusheng gritted his teeth secretly, why am I not worthy?
The emperor was stunned. Chen Changan’s simplicity actually has connotation?
Chen Qingwan couldn't help but say: "Foolish, Eleventh Brother is trying to persuade you with good intentions, you should have some idea in your mind!"
"Besides, if you have any talent for the couplets in today's competition, just show them!"
“…Stop talking bullshit here!”
Chen Changan sneered: "Your Majesty, I have a source for what I said about 'easy'."
"The ancient sage Dongfang Shuo recorded in his book "Fei You Xiansheng Lun" that advising the king is not an easy task and requires careful and thoughtful words."
"If you say something inappropriate that angers the Emperor, it is a sin punishable by death!"
"Heng Kuan quoted Jia Sheng's words in "Salt and Iron Discussions: Admonitions to Stone": If you speak rashly, your words will be shallow and difficult to win people's hearts; if you discuss in depth, you may anger the emperor and deviate from the topic.
He sighed, "It's easier said than done! It's even harder to act!"
Chen Changan changed the subject slightly: "The first couplet of the second place winner talks about filial piety, and 'easy' means that the ministers serve the monarch, point out the gains and losses, and should not act lightly, which talks about loyalty.
Loyalty and filial piety are the core contents of Confucianism.
The second place winner talks about filial piety, and I talk about loyalty to the emperor, what's wrong with that?"
Chen Changan quoted from classics and his words were very convincing.
Hearing his well-reasoned words, many people nodded in agreement.
The emperor shook his head and smiled bitterly, and the Prince of Huainan's face turned red.
This fool is indeed different. Compared to his previous timidity, how can Chen Zhan believe that he can talk freely now?
The students also knew Luo Qianfan's attitude towards Chen Changan, and they resisted the urge to cheer.
The emperor stroked his long beard and smiled broadly, "Changan, my dear minister, your every word is loyal. I will think twice in the future and will never treat my ministers unfairly."
"The Household Department has already issued the five-part test, so it's time for the Engineering Department to issue the test questions. What do you think?"
The emperor glanced at him with his fierce eyes, and Li Desheng quickly bowed.
He looked at Tong Bailiang and Chen Fusheng nervously. These two were the hope of Hu College. Could they suppress Chen Changan's momentum?
Chen Changan glanced at Zhu Zigeng inquiringly.
Zhu Zigeng was still furious: "Changan, since the emperor has said so, let's make a great move and make Hu Academy our foil!"
The students from the School of Engineering immediately became excited and nodded excitedly.
As long as they defeat Hu College, the School of Engineering will be ranked fourth. For many years, the students of the School of Engineering have not been able to hold their heads up.
Now, can it gain momentum?
Chen Changan nodded at Zhu Zigeng, and Tong Bailiang and Chen Fusheng were ready to respond.
"Hu College issued a five-link, so did I."
"The first couplet is extremely difficult. I'm afraid you must think carefully about it and listen carefully."
It was expected that this alliance would not be simple, and everyone was on high alert.
"...Moonfall."
After waiting for a long time, I heard Chen Changan speak calmly.
The students of Imperial College were all confused.
Tong Bailiang couldn't believe it: "The moon has fallen? What's going on down there? What's going on down there?"
Chen Changan glanced at Eunuch Jing calmly, shook his head and said, "There's nothing below."
Eunuch Jing felt his chrysanthemum tighten and closed his eyes with resentment.
Number one scholar, if there is nothing left below, then there is nothing left. What are you looking at me doing?
The others didn't think so much. They looked at Chen Changan in horror and confusion.
"This, this... Is the top scholar letting you win on purpose?"
"I would have done it if I had known!"
"Has Chen Changan run out of ideas?"
Not to mention that they were talking about it, even the School of Engineering was confused.
You used the moon to attack Hu Academy. Even I can match such a simple couplet...
Chen Changan, what are you doing?
Chen Changan ignored everyone and raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, the first couplet, the moon falls!"
Tong Bailiang closed his paper fan and said angrily, "Zhuangyuanlang, are you looking down on Hu College? I'm wrong!"
"Why do I look down on you?"
Chen Changan shook his head and pointed at Chen Fusheng: "You allow Chen Fusheng to write a two-character couplet, but you don't allow me to write one?"
"That's not right, so I win this round?"
"you!"
Tong Bailiang was furious.
This is nothing. Even if we fight, I can’t show my true ability!
Chen Fusheng stepped forward and said, "Master Chen, my brother is wrong, I am right!"
"…The moon sets and the sun rises!"
Everyone in the School of Engineering is waiting for Chen Changan's opinion. Maybe...
What’s the point of the moon setting?
Chen Changan decisively gave a thumbs up: "As expected of the runner-up, you can even get this right?"
"Okay, okay, watch me do the next line!"
“…Monk!”
Wow!
The whole place is in chaos!
The setting moon has no connotation at all. The second couplet still consists of two words, and it is still very simple!
Everyone is sure...
Chen Changan is concerned about the relationship in the academy and doesn't want to kill him!
Chen Fusheng also thought so and became even more relaxed.
"Monks versus nuns!"
Chen Changan nodded in praise: "Very good, the third link, Black Mountain!"
"Black mountains face white water, black and white face each other, mountains and water meet!" Chen Fusheng said loudly.
Although the couplet is simple, it can show off in front of the emperor!
Chen Changan laughed: "The fourth league, there is nothing... go?"
"Go? I'm right!"
Chen Fusheng believes that Chen Changan has run out of tricks!
Everyone thinks so!
"There is only one couplet left, please listen carefully."
Chen Changan had a smile on his face: "As the saying goes, the monk Yueluo went to the Black Mountain!"
Chen Fusheng didn't even think about it and laughed: "I will treat you like this, sunrise, sunrise, sunrise..."
Chen Fusheng's face changed drastically!
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they understood!
Oh my god, this, this...
Hahaha!
