Chapter 109: Final product
"Emotions are developed by things, so the meaning must be clear and elegant; things are viewed by emotions, so the lyrics must be clever and beautiful. Sima Xiangru's "Zixu Fu" is well-known in the past, Ban Gu's "Biandu Fu" is better than words, and Zhang Heng's "Bianmin Fu" is more meaningful than words, but Xu You's "Bandu Fu" is not meticulous, and it must be classics, with different qualities and pictures. The meaning of words is magnificent, which is really valuable!"
There are many awkward allusions in the Sandu Fu, and the words and sentences are obscene, and many people may have a slight understanding. But Zhang Zihua is different. His knowledge is not comparable to ordinary people. It is because of this that he can better understand the wonderfulness of this fu. His comments are very consistent with historical evaluations, with a sophisticated and unique vision.
Xu You said in a humble sentence, Lu Xu finally woke up from his surprise, presented the thick paper in his hand, and said, "Grand Zhongzheng, my fu..."
He came late and did not hear the content of the Sandu Fu, but it was still like wandering in a dream. Zhang Zihua sighed and did not take it over, but asked Zhang Tong to read Xu You's Sandu Fu to him. Lu Xu only listened to Wu Du Fu, and was already like a loss of his parents. He listened to Shu Du Fu again, and felt a faint sense of pain in his eyebrows, covering his heart and mouth with the help of Yu Gong and others, and sat down.
Zhang Zihua couldn't bear it and said, "Forget it, Qingfu, admit defeat!"
After all, he is the proud son of the Lu family. Zhang Zihua can't really see him completely defeated by Xu You. The small words of the green talisman were called out. The scene of teaching Lu Xu to read and practice calligraphy when he was young came to his mind. He walked forward slowly, gently stroked his forehead, and said softly: "Give up! Xu You's Three Capitals Fu can be called the most successful person since the Han and Wei Dynasties, after the Two Capitals and Second Capitals, if he loses to him, he will still be honored even if he loses!"
"Uncle Six, why is Lu Shuzhi the one who admits defeat?" Lu Xu shook his head stubbornly and said sternly: "Xu Yong, keep reciting!"
Zhang Tong looked at Zhang Zihua and saw him nodding, then began to recite the Wei Du Fu: "...... The man's body is divided into day and night, and the clear and turbidity is covered with clear and turbidity. It flows into rivers and seas, and forms into mountains and mountains. It is divided into its wilderness, and the deserts lead its corners... It opens its chest and guards, and walks through Yanzhao. The forests are quiet, and the rivers are back to the lingering. The ridges are in the green sky, and the rivers are vast and bright. When facing Qiao in the south, the green bamboos are pure and lush; when facing Zhangyang in the north, there is a different marsh in winter and summer..."
Lu Xu's face became paler and paler. After Wei Dufu, who had 4,100 words, finished reading it, he looked at the long scroll in his hand, and then sent it to Zhang Zihua again, his eyes full of desire, and said, "Uncle Six, are you really not as good as him?"
Zhang Zihua didn't say anything, so he took it and watched it carefully. These three great fu are not only written in a shabby way, but also did not even achieve the most basic structure of "spreading texts, writing about things and writing about the will". Lu Xu was good at short fu, and his lyricism and thoughts were particularly top-notch. The "Kyoto Fu" like Sandu Fu has a grand structure and extensive variety of things, which is not enough to be completed in a few days. His desire to win or lose is too strong, but his inch is already messed up. He reads the whole article without the usual level, which is simply difficult to read suddenly!
"Not as good as!"
If Zhang Zihua couldn't even do this fairness, her reputation would be ruined, so she had to say these two words cruelly. Lu Xu trembled suddenly, and his chest was so full of breath that he couldn't breathe. His eyes were at first blank, looking around without focus. When he passed by Xu You, he suddenly stopped, slowly recovered from a little brightness, and then poured out an incomparable deep hatred.
I don’t know how long I stared at Xu You, but Lu Xu turned around and snatched the pains from Zhang Zihua’s hand, walked to the candlestick next to him, and his trembling hands lit the corner of the paper with the candlelight of the white candle.
The dark blue light jumped on the hideous face, and the rebellious heart that was high above also fell into the depths of hell with the gray paper confetti flying all over the sky.
Everyone seemed to be laughing at him, and all their eyes were like swords, cutting him to pieces!
Lu Xu's back appeared in the candlelight, his tone became extremely cold, and he said, "Xu You, don't be proud. Even if you win, the common people are still common people. They are lowly and cannot enter the officialdom. No matter how good the poetry is, they will be in a miserable life!"
In fact, he was right. Zuo Si became famous all over the world for "Three Du Fu". His sister entered the palace and became the emperor's concubine. However, because of her humble background, she could only seek a small official as a secretary, and was depressed and unsuccessful. If Xu You had no other ambitions, she would have gained a foothold in poetry and essays, and would have become a commoner without spending many years.
How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan? Lu Xu uses himself to judge others and asserts that Xu You will rise and fall because of the identity of a commoner. However, he does not know that the planning hidden deep in the hearts of a young man is a grand plan that he exhausts his wisdom and cannot be guessed.
"Lu Xu, don't talk nonsense!"
Zhang Zihua was finally disappointed with him. The Lu family had a rigorous family tradition. Somehow he taught such an incompetent thing. In front of everyone, poetry and essays were inferior to others, and even demeanor was not as good as others. When it was spread, it was criticized by the government and the people. Even with the support of the Wujun clans, it would be difficult to achieve success in the official career. Isn’t it still depressed and unsuccessful?
How stupid is it to harm others and yourself?
"I don't need to say much about Xu You's talent, everyone will naturally have a measure of it. The talented and Yingbo of the world is not good, and it is determined to be the best. It will be submitted to Situ soon and then it will be written into the naturalization book after verification."
Even though Xu You was as calm as a mountain, he was shocked by Zhang Zihua's sudden appearance. When he came to participate in the Yaji, he joked with He Ru that he might be able to get back at the level, but in fact he didn't have much hope in his heart. Although the Xu family's case has been over half a year and the storm has gradually settled, the situation in the court is still very unclear. The prince was punished by the emperor, but he is still the crown prince who is less than one person than ten thousand. No matter how famous Zhang Zihua has, he may not dare to offend the prince to set his rank for him.
Unexpectedly, this new Da Zhongzheng not only dared to set the qualities for him, but also set the highest grade that the common people can get!
Lu Xu suddenly turned around, his handsome face almost distorted, and he said, "Uncle Six, Xu You are a commoner, why are you a qualified qualifier for him?"
"Now you only discuss justice, not personal affairs. What you are in front of you is the Grand Chungzheng of Yangzhou, not the sixth uncle!" Zhang Zihua said lightly: "It is because Xu You is a commoner that he is the lower class. Otherwise, with his talent, would I be stingy with the second-rank class?"
Lu Xu had nothing to say. It was not that the common people could not be completely unable to determine the rank. If they were of high talent and were valued by the Qing Dynasty, the prefectures and counties could also give the rank at their discretion, but they could not be designated as the top grade, and they could make appropriate choices among the lower grades.
The lower level, that is, the seventh rank, is the result of Zhang Zihua's special attention to Xu You. Like Zhang Mo, who participated in the Xiyuan Elegant Festival in Wu County two years ago, made a show of the limelight, but was deliberately suppressed by Zhang and designated as the lower level and eighth rank by Yang Kun.
"Thank you Dazhongzheng to appreciate it, but you have no choice but to devote yourself to learning, be determined to seek knowledge, and live up to the gratitude!"
Xu You thanked him. After the initial shock, his mind calmed down. No matter what purpose Zhang Zihua intended, at least he had set his qualities and had hope to continue climbing up.
Lu Xu suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter as a ghost. The few people standing next to him were startled and couldn't help but dodge a few steps: "Congratulations to Xu Langjun, becoming the first person to be a regular class in Qiantang Lake Yaji!"
As he spoke, he walked to Xu You's side, leaned into his ear, and whispered: "Down, you can't even be a turbid official. However, if I am the county magistrate in the future, I can recruit you to be a minor official who serves tea and pours water."
Xu You smiled and said, "Remember not to forget that I will serve you when your husband becomes the county magistrate!"
Every time Lu Xu wanted to insult Xu You, he couldn't get the reaction he wanted, but instead made himself angry, and this time was no exception. But after many blows, he actually suppressed his anger and his cold eyes slammed Xu You's face, as if he wanted to engrave his face in his mind, and then stood silently to the distance.
The Ninth-rank official is a person's law, from the first to the ninth grade, with a total of nine grades, also known as the talent or the local grade. If the first grade is never given, it can only be the second grade, and the seventh to ninth grade are the lowest grade, but in fact it cannot be an official.
The officials of the court are also divided into one to nine ranks, and this rank is called an official. If you want to become an official, you must match the qualifications and the official rank. Generally speaking, there is a gap between the two. In other words, if a person's qualifications are second ranks, you can only start with a fifth rank official, and a sixth rank official, and you can only start with a ninth rank official.
Therefore, the sixth grade of materials is called the starting product!
As the name suggests, if you want to become an official, you must be a sixth rank to become a success!
Does that mean that Xu You has no hope of becoming an official in his life? That is not that his qualifications can be promoted and reduced. The inspection every three years is to re-evaluate the grade and perform well. The seventh grade can be promoted to the sixth grade. But there is a prerequisite, that is, Xu You must do everything possible to make the Xu family a member again!
This is difficult, but after all, you can stand at the foot of the mountain and see the way to the top. Compared to the stray dog who just left Yixing, Xu You's wings are gradually becoming fuller!
"Zhang Mo, a good knowledge of the knowledge, and a clear and clear order, from the lower middle to the lower upper middle.”
"Zhang Tong, Guizhang is very large, and the police have a front, so he is determined to be the middle and upper class."
"Lu Xu... Although his articles are beautiful, he is not clear and pure enough, and he has dropped from above to above."
...
After sleeping all night, when the sky was bright, twenty of the dozens of people participating in the Yaji were newly designated, six of whom were promoted, and two of whom were reduced. Lu Xu was originally a third-ranked rank, and the purpose of participating in the Yaji was to be promoted to the second-rank, laying a solid foundation for entering the official next year. However, he suffered a crushing defeat with Xu You and became a silly chatter. Zhang Zihua was determined to sharpen his temperament due to the discussion of things, so he demoted him to the fourth-rank.
Although it is reduced, it is still the highest grade among everyone. This is the power of the clan!
