"Farewell to the ancient grass"
The grass on the plain withers and thrives once a year.
The wildfire could not burn, but the spring wind blew and it grew again.
Far away, fragrant flowers encroach on the ancient road, and the clear green trees connect the desolate city.
And sent the king's grandson away, luxuriant and full of parting feelings.
Mobei Ci
Grape wine, luminous cups,
I want to drink the pipa, I'll hurry on my horse.
Drunk on the battlefield, don't you laugh,
since ancient times, how many have returned from their expeditions?
"Spring Night's Rain"
Good rain knows the season, and it will happen in spring.
The wind entered the night and moistened everything silently.
The clouds on the wild path are all black, and the fire on the river boat is only bright.
At dawn I see the red and wet place, the flowers are heavy in Jinguan City.
He Kun finished these three poems in a row and changed the title of the second poem," Journey to Western Liang," to " Journey to Northern Desert," which was in line with the current situation in Fengyu. He then laid down and slept, waiting for the end of the exams...
In the capital.
In Yangxin Palace Hall.
"Shulai, what about He Kun?”
Dressed in a dragon robe and sitting on the dragon throne, Da Qian, who had been busy for the past few days, finally remembered He Kun and asked Wu Shu.
"Your Majesty, this servant has already ordered people to copy He Kun's test papers. Please take a look.”
Wu Shulai, who knew the Emperor's thoughts, immediately bowed and handed over a scroll.
Da Qian took the scroll and scanned it before asking,""Why are there only two exams?"
Wu Shulai said," Your Majesty, have you forgotten? The third round of the general exams has only just begun today. This servant has already ordered people to extract Hekun's third round of exam papers.”
Great Gan liked Wu Shulai's alertness. He nodded and praised,""Not bad, Shu Lai, you really know how to do things.”
Wu Shulai hurriedly knelt down and said,"It's my duty to work for Your Majesty. Your Majesty, you don't have to praise me."”
"You!" Da Qian shook his head and smiled.
The more arrogant Wu Shulai was, the more he liked him.
Following that, Da Qian opened Wu Shu and ordered someone to extract He Kun's exam paper to look at it.
The handwriting on the scroll was standard, and in terms of skill, it wasn't even ten to twenty percent of He Kun's. It was obvious that the person who copied He Kun's examination paper wasn't good at calligraphy.
However, since they knew that the paper was an extract, Da Qian didn't pay attention to the handwriting on the paper and directly looked at the contents.
"Not bad."
"Interesting."
"Eh, this part is really stunning."
He Kun had done the Four Books and Five Classics and the other eight parts of the scriptures extremely well, causing Great Gan to praise him.
When Da Qian saw the second exam, the history paper.
His expression had already turned from admiration to shock.
He Kun's answers to several questions were beyond his expectations. He often said shocking things, but he quoted the ancient and the modern, which made sense. Da Qian had to think deeply.
Just like the question of "using barbarians to subdue barbarians", He Kun replied,
"Using barbarians to subdue barbarians is not a good strategy for a country. In ancient times, there was evidence that Song joined Liao to attack Jin. Song defeated Liao and won. After Jin defeated Liao, it broke its promise. From the middle of the lesson, iron must be self-hard, the country has no covenant. Enemies surrounded the country, so it was necessary to make friends far away and attack near. For a country with scabies, it should be suppressed, set up a government, station troops, fool the people's wisdom, absorb their essence to support themselves...”
Other than that, He Kun also had a completely different view of the reform and the selection of talents, which made the emperor of Da Qian exclaim in admiration.
Although he did not agree with some of He Kun's comments in the test, just from He Kun's answer sheet, he was not only a talent, but also a peerless talent.
"Your Majesty, this is He Kun's answer sheet for the third test. This servant has already ordered someone to extract it.”
Unknowingly, Da Qian had been engrossed in He Kun's examination paper. It was only when Wu Shulai interrupted that he came back to his senses.
Da Qian looked around blankly and saw Wu Shulai kneeling on the ground, presenting another copy of the test paper.
When Da Qian saw the three ancient poems on the exam paper, he could not help but recite them softly.
"The grass on the plains wither and flourish with each passing year…”
After he finished reciting, he laughed out loud and said,""Good poem! Good poem! What three good poems. Especially the second poem. He Kun had never been on a battlefield. It was hard to imagine how he could write such a good frontier poem.”
Wu Shulai complimented him at the right time." It seems that He Kun is really an all-rounder. Not only is his calligraphy superb, but he is also proficient in politics. His poetry skills are also first-class. It seems that it won't be long before His Majesty will have another pillar of the country under his command.”
Great Gan was very happy to be complimented by Wu Shulai and immediately laughed.""Your words have comforted Zhen.”
Seeing how happy Da Qian was, Wu Shulai's respect for He Kun increased. He bowed and asked,""Since Your Majesty admires He Kun so much, do you need me to give it to you? As the chief examiner of this examination, the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Li, can you give me a reminder?”
Da Qian shook his head. With He Kun's amazing talent, the top scorer of this year's imperial examination will definitely be him. Don't meddle, or else it won't be good if word gets out.”
Wu Shulai immediately nodded and knelt down.""I know." Date:09 7 2019 12:30PM
