Under the ancient imperial examination system, readers read hard for ten years, only for the title of the first and first gold list one day. Many Confucian students who are full of poetry and have real talents and practical learning have fallen behind because of the likes and dislikes of the chief examiner.
Liu Fenghuan, a Confucian student in the Qing Dynasty, was a lucky man, and his full belly was favored by the chief examiner, and was eventually hand-picked by Qianlong as a tanhua.
The story also begins with Liu Fenghuan's appearance. During the Qianlong period, Liu Fengxuan, a Confucian student in Jiangxi, was early and wise, and from an early age, he was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, full of scriptures, poetry and songs, and often came by hand, and was called a prodigy. Liu Fengchen repeatedly tried to enter Beijing to catch the exam and the Di Dengke, Naihe, heavenly jealous of talent, Liu Fenghuan is a one-eyed, born ugly, whenever interviewed by the main examiner, always on the grounds that the facial features are not complete and can not enter the Shi, repeatedly brushed off. The world lamented that the talented Liu Fengchen could not be appreciated.
However, gold will always shine, and pearls will eventually emerge and emit dazzling brilliance. Bitter hearted people, the sky is not worthy, the emperor is not worthy of the heart, this time, Liu Fenghuan finally waited for Bo Le, and this time he finally had the opportunity to meet a chief examiner who appreciated his love talent. After the chief examiner interviewed Liu Fenghuan, he saw that Liu Fenghuan looked ugly and one-eyed, and his heart was very sorry, but out of love, in the end, this chief examiner with a gentleman's style and integrity and kindness hardened his scalp to tell the Qianlong Emperor.
After the Qianlong Emperor approved the recital, he couldn't wait to personally interview this talented one-eyed Confucian to see if this Confucian was worthy of his name. So at the Bohol Hall, Qianlong summoned this one-eyed Confucian. Only to see Qianlong sitting on the high and wide dragon chair, Long Yan was very happy, and blurted out a sentence of "One eye does not climb the dragon and tiger list." When Liu Fengzhen heard this, he understood in his heart that this seemed to be deliberately difficult and sarcastic by the Qianlong Emperor, but in fact it was the Qianlong Emperor who tested his cultivation and talent.
Liu Fenghuan was calm and self-assured, moody and angry, holding his head high, and said to the lower joint, "Half a moon is still clean." ”
The Qianlong Emperor, who cherished his talents, was overjoyed and thought to himself, "This one-eyed Confucian student has such a broad-minded and courageous spirit, and it seems to be worthy of his name." Then he came out of the Upper League Road, "East Qiming, West Chang Gung, Nanji Beidou, Shuo Nai Pick Star Han." ”
After Liu Fengxuan listened, without thinking, he replied like a stream, "Spring peony, summer peony medicine, autumn chrysanthemum, winter plum, the minister is Tanhualang." "
At this time, the erudite Qianlong Emperor was finally impressed by the one-eyed Confucian student in front of him, who was full of economy, and the Qianlong Emperor was full of excitement, grinding and waving, only to see the imperial pen in a circle on the holy will, and this one-eyed Confucian Student Liu Fengyu was immediately hand-picked as the temple to test Hualang, and finally the golden list was titled, and he raised his eyebrows.
