From an ordinary one-eyed scholar to Tanhualang's gorgeous turn, Liu Fenghe's story is full of suspense and surprises. This is a story of wisdom, courage and destiny, about how an ordinary man left his immortal footprints in the Qianlong Dynasty.
The one-eyed scholar of the Qianlong Dynasty: Liu Fenghe's legendary road
During the Qianlong period, China's culture and scholarship reached a glorious peak. At that time, Beijing was not only the political center of the Qing Empire, but also the focus of culture and scholarship. In such a context, a different scholar appeared - Liu Fenghe.
Liu Fenghe was born in a small and inconspicuous village in Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province. Despite their poor family background, the Liu family has a deep cultural heritage. Although Liu Fenghe's father died young, he left him with a room full of books and a thirst for knowledge.
Liu Fenghe has been smart since he was a child, whether it is poetry or history, he can recite it backwards. However, fate does not seem to favor this young talent, and an accidental play caused him to lose an eye, and since then he has become known as the "one-eyed scholar".
This change did not defeat Liu Fenghe, but inspired him to have a greater fighting spirit. He studied even harder, often day and night, immersed in the sea of books. When Liu Fenghe was 16 years old, he began his imperial examination. He successively passed the township test and the meeting test, and finally at the age of 28, he entered the gate of the palace test and stood in front of Emperor Qianlong.
On the day of the palace test, the Forbidden City was resplendent with gold, and talented people from all over the country gathered here. Liu Fenghe was dressed in a simple blue cloth robe, and his distinctive appearance caused everyone to whisper. He took a deep breath and walked calmly to the examination room, silently reciting in his heart: "As long as there are poems and books in your heart, why not be afraid of your life experience." ”
After the exam, Emperor Qianlong personally looked at the test papers of the Jinshi. When his eyes fell on Liu Fenghe's highly personalized calligraphy, he couldn't help but stop and admire. Emperor Qianlong said to the guards: "This person's calligraphy is extraordinary, and he must be outstanding." The guards immediately searched for Liu Fenghe's information and led him to Qianlong.
When Qianlong first saw Liu Fenghe, he was surprised by his one-eyed. Qianlong asked, "Young man, how did you lose your eyes?" Liu Fenghe replied without flinching: "Your Majesty, it was an accident when I was a child, but this did not hinder my love for learning. Qianlong was moved by his openness and talent, and said with a smile: "Okay, what a one-eyed but ambitious young man!"
Brilliant Gold List: The wisdom duel of one-eyed scholar Liu Fenghe
In front of Emperor Qianlong, Liu Fenghe faced not only the palace test, the most important test in his life, but also the challenge from the emperor himself. Qianlong, a king who thinks highly of himself, is full of curiosity and disdain for the young scholar with a physical disability in front of him.
Qianlong smiled and asked, "Scholar, I heard that you only have one eye to see, how can you be on the gold list with one eye?" Although this sentence was a question, it was difficult to hide the sarcasm in his tone. The surrounding officials cast sympathetic or mocking glances, and the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became tense.
Liu Fenghe did not lose his temper because of this, he knew that this was a test of his wisdom. He replied calmly: "Your Majesty, 'the half moon is still shining', although I have lost an eye, my ambition and knowledge have not diminished in the slightest. As soon as these words came out, a low voice of admiration suddenly sounded in the hall. A hint of surprise also flashed in Qianlong's eyes.
Qianlong did not stop there, he continued to ask: "East Qiming, West Chang Gung, South Ji Beidou, who is the star picker?" This is a more complex couplet, Qianlong tried to test Liu Fenghe's intelligence.
Liu Fenghe did not show the slightest panic, he replied after careful consideration: "Spring peony, summer peony, autumn chrysanthemum and winter plum, Chenben Tanhualang." This sentence is not only in line with the battle, but also full of confidence and heroism. After hearing this, Qianlong finally showed a satisfied smile.
Liu Fenghe's intelligence not only won Qianlong's recognition, but also impressed everyone present. His answers were full of wisdom and wit, showing his extraordinary knowledge and courage. Especially under such pressure, he was able to maintain his composure and use his wisdom and talent to earn respect for himself.
This battle of wisdom in the Forbidden City was not only a turning point in Liu Fenghe's personal fate, but also a good story in the Qianlong Dynasty that has been passed down through the ages.
