Chapter 355: One More Test
As soon as Xu Qing said this, the officials of Chu State and the envoys of the two countries were all shocked.
What Xu Qing said was right and right, and it was wrong to say that it was wrong.
He was right because when Zhou Guo proposed to make friends with literature, Zhao Guo immediately said that he wanted to compete in chess, scriptures and poetry.
It is said that there are not many of them, because these kinds of writing and dao competitions are almost the established rules over the years, even if Zhao Guo does not require the competition, it is nothing more than these.
This Uncle Anding is taking advantage of the rules!
Even the Emperor Chu, who was above the high position, was slightly taken aback, Xu Qing, what on earth is he trying to do?
However, according to what the emperor said, Xu Qing must be fully sure of what he promised.
Emperor Chu wants to see what Xu Qing wants to do.
...
Zhao Guozheng also fell into short-term thinking after hearing Xu Qing's words. He naturally saw that Bo Mingming from Anding County was taking advantage of loopholes. these.
Conventional stuff!
But Zhao Guozheng didn't point it out to Xu Qing directly. The problem was what Xu Qing said. Chu Guo proposed a problem and an extra game.
According to the past, Zhao Guo's Wen Dao should always crush Chu Guo with an absolute advantage, but this time the ratio of Wen Dao is equal to Chu Guo.
That is to say, isn't their Zhao country now facing a situation where they can't beat Chu country and may not be as good as Chu country?
If we try again, it will not only be an opportunity for Chu State, but also an opportunity for Zhao State!
Moreover, how many years has Zhao Guowen Dao been ahead? Even if Chu State is asked to choose a topic and take an extra test, as long as it is a competition of Wen Dao, will Zhao Guo still lose?
Thinking of this, Zhao Guozheng looked at Xu Qing and said, "The competition between the two countries this time is a competition of literature and Taoism. As long as it is a competition of literature and Taoism, I, Zhao Guozheng, will take the challenge. I wonder what the County Boss of Anding will compete with?"
Xu Qing said: "It's very simple. As a scholar, Bowen and rote memorization are naturally the foundation of the foundation, right?"
Bo Wen Qiang Ji describes rich knowledge and strong memory.
Zhao Guozheng said: "Naturally, scholars in the world can only understand the Confucian classics and the way of sages with strong memorization."
In this era, the first imperial examination among the Three Kingdoms was to complete the words of the sages. The words from the sages' classics were randomly selected, and the previous sentence was given to fill in the next sentence, and the next sentence was given to fill in the previous sentence.
The sages and sages' classics for the examiner must be mastered thoroughly, and they must be memorized word for word.
At this time, don't expect anyone to highlight the key points for you, these few books are all the key points!
If you have a bad memory, the first section of the imperial examination can pass you off.
Xu Qing said with a smile: "That's very simple, let's compare the most basic of writing, shorthand!"
"Shorthand?" Zhao Guozheng asked in confusion, "I don't know how to compare shorthand?"
Xu Qing said: "It's very simple. From ancient times to the present, there are a vast number of classics in the Chongwen Museum, and there are many unpopular classics among them."
"How about this, each of the two countries sends out one person, and each country chooses any one of a random book, the more obscure the better, intercept the same number of words, and give it to the other person, and the two sides have an incense stick of time to remember this The content of the article, after a stick of incense, begins to write silently, whoever finishes writing silently first with the fewest mistakes will win."
"What does Lu Zhengshi think?"
Lu Zhengshi thought about it for a while and said: "Such a competition is indeed extremely fair for the two countries. It is even more unreal to write in black and white on paper. This envoy has no reason to refuse. I wonder who in your country is going to fight?"
Shorthand is the same as poetry. The younger generation has a natural advantage in memory, and it is the peak period of memory.
Therefore, for shorthand, it is best to choose a young reporter who is well-read in poetry and books and has a strong knowledge.
Xu Qing cupped hands said with a smile: "It's just me, I don't know who in your country is the best at shorthand?"
Kuang Zhou stood aside with a relieved smile on his face. He finally finished the poetry competition today. Although he lost, he can finally say goodbye to this monstrous person!
If possible, he would never want to fight Xu Qing on the same stage again in his life.
Do not!
He never wants to see this evil Xu Qing again in his life!
The psychological shadow of a lifetime!
As long as it is not compared with him, how can this An Ding county uncle compare.
Lu Zhengshi thought for a while and said, "The most well-informed and memorable person in my country of Zhao is the envoy of Kuang Zhou. Why not invite the envoy of Kuang in my country of Zhao..."
The smile on Kuang Zhou's face froze when he heard this remark...
Lu Zhengshi hadn't finished speaking when he heard a sudden "plop" from the side.
The envoy from Zhao State hurriedly exclaimed: "It's not good! Envoy Kuang has fainted again! Send the imperial physician quickly, send the imperial physician quickly!"
In the end, the imperial doctor's diagnosis was: excessive fright, affecting the mind, need to rest with peace of mind...
Kuang Zhou is the best at shorthand for Zhao Guo Mission, and now that Kuang Zhou fainted, the competition can only be postponed.
There's no way, we can't let the two old men who competed in chess and Jingyi come out to compete, right?
No matter how bad it is, can he play in person?
Their memory is no longer as strong as it was at its peak, and compared to Xu Qing, a young man who is at the peak of his memory, it must be no match!
After the envoys from the two countries left the field, the Emperor of Chu looked at Xu Qing and said, "County Anding, come with me."
Royal Study Room
The Emperor of Chu looked at Xu Qing and said: "Are you a bit reckless after all, this move is related to the honor and disgrace of my great Chu. If you win, you will be famous after you, and if you lose, you will be notorious behind you. Sure of winning?"
Now, Chu State and Zhao State have finally tied for more than 60 years. If Xu Qing finally wins Zhao State in this last match, it means that Chu State has won Zhao State in this competition of writing and Taoism. If Xu Qing, who was the planner of this last match, wins, one can imagine his status in Chu's literary world in the future.
But if it loses, it will still be Zhao State who beats Chu State, and Xu Qing, who is the instigator, will definitely be condemned by the scholars of Chu State! You said you were too busy to worry about your own business? Looks like you're capable, doesn't it?
It's an exaggeration to say that if Xu Qing wins, his name will last forever; if Xu Qing loses, he will be infamous forever.
Xu Qing said with a smile: "I never do things that I'm not sure about."
Chu Huang also said with a smile: "Brother Huang also commented on you in the same way, just let go and do what you want."
Xu Qing cupped hands and said: "The minister must live up to His Majesty's expectations!"
The Emperor Chu waved his hand and said, "Anyway, you lost, and the scholars all over the world scolded you, not me."
Xu Qing: "..."
Is it co-authored or self-indulgent?
Thinking of this, Xu Qing said: "Your Majesty, the one thousand taels of silver you promised earlier, do you think..."
The Emperor of Chu thought for a while and said: "In this battle, you have contributed a lot to my Great Chu, and you have worked hard. If you don't give such a hero, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of scholars in the world. You said that I will send Miss Qiao to a thousand taels How about everything for you?"
