The name of the hotel is Zhuangyuan Building, and I want to take the words, events and officials related to the champion as the box name, and ask the master for help. There better be a story.

Ten anecdotes of top scholars in China history.

1, Zheng Hao, the only scholar in the history of China who can take the exam.

Since ancient times, people have often associated the word Xu with the number one scholar, as if winning the number one scholar can make a Xu. In fact, Zheng Hao is the only scholar who can take the imperial examination in China. Zheng Hao was the top scholar of Tang Huichang for three years. Originally, he was engaged, and after winning the first prize, he planned to marry the daughter of Lujia. However, the handsome young champion was taken by the emperor and insisted on betrothing his beloved daughter Princess Wanshou to him. Zheng Hao didn't love the princess, but he married his childhood friend Miss Lu. Tang Xuanzong asked Prime Minister Bai Minzhong to persuade him. Bai Min struggled in many ways, coerced and lured, and finally forced him to marry Princess Wanshou. After marriage, the two were not happy. Later, Zheng Hao impeached Bai Minzhong many times. Fortunately, Emperor Xuanzong knew that he was untenable and submitted an impeachment letter for Bai Min.

2. Pei, the thickest scholar.

When Tang Wenzong was in power, eunuch Chou Shiliang was in power, and the life and death of courtiers were in his hands. Pei was only a scholar at that time, but he was very good at buttering up powerful people and soon became good friends with Shiliang Zhou. This year, Pei had a whim and wanted to be a scholar, so he asked Qiu for a position to find the examiner of that year. Gao Kai was an honest official and sent him away. When Pei Si Qian was angry, he claimed that he would not be a champion next year. The next year, Pei came to the examiner with Chou Shiliang's post and said to him, "Mr. Qiu has a letter and recommends Pei as the top scholar." Gao Kai had long forgotten Pei Si and said to him, "The champion has been taken, and anyone except the champion can do whatever he wants." Pei Si had the cheek to say, "Pei Xiucai is not a champion!" Knowing that offending Shiliang Zhou again this time would not have a good result, Gao Kai said, "In that case, I want to see Pei Xiucai." Pei Shuo: "A humble official." As a last resort, he had to become a top scholar. To pursue fame and gain by yourself, you have to be a champion. This gentleman is thick-skinned, and no one can match the champion.

3. Wang Sizong, the champion who saved the match.

16, when Song Taizu and Zhao Kuangyin were in the world, Taizu personally held the palace examination in Wujiang Hall. Candidates Wang Si Zong and Chen Zhi were the first to finish their papers and submit them together. Their papers were excellent. Who is the first? Mao is really puzzled. In the end, the two men will wrestle with each other immediately (that is, sumo wrestling), and the winner will be the champion. Wang Si Zong and Chen Zhi fought in the hall. As a result, Chen Zhi fell to the ground and Wang Sizong won the championship that year.

4. The most confident champion-Hu Dan

In the first year of Song Taizong, a scholar visited a county in Shandong. The magistrate of a county learned that the scholar was quite literary, so he hosted a banquet. The son of the magistrate looked down on the scholar and asked him what he was good at. The scholar said that he was a poet. The son asked him to read one, and the scholar read one. The last sentence is: "Don't dream of picking up all the cold light." Hearing this, the son laughed and said, "This is a sleepy man." The scholar was very angry. This scholar is Lv Mengzheng, and the next year, Lv Mengzheng won the championship in one fell swoop. He wrote to his son, "Sleepy Boy has won the first prize now." The son read his letter and sneered, "Wait for me next year and lose you." The next year, it was this son, Hu Dan, who won the first prize in the new subject. Throughout the history of imperial examinations, Hu Dan was the first person who had such confidence.

5. The highest level champion-Zhao Kai

Song Huizong's third son, Zhao Kai, secretly took the imperial examination in the first year of Zhonghe. Because of his literary talent, he was invincible all the way and entered the palace for the exam. He did better in the imperial examination and won the first place. After posting, Zhao Kai told Hui Zong the truth. When Hui Zong was happy, he was afraid that the world's literati would gossip, so he listed Wang Ang, who was second in that year, as the top scholar. It is said that Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty also secretly took part in the imperial examination and won the third place (exploring flowers), but after all, he was not the top scholar. Therefore, Zhao Kai became the highest-ranking scholar in the history of China.

6. The most miserable champion-Chen An

During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, Chen An, a native of Minxian County, Fujian Province, ranked first in high school in the thirty years of Hongwu and became the sixth scholar in Daming. Coincidentally, all the people who entered the Jinshi this time were southerners. Coincidentally, all three examiners are southerners. As soon as the list was published, the northern scholars refused to accept it. Call on examiners to favor fellow villagers and belittle northern scholars. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and ordered Zhang Xin and others 12 to review. At this time, it was reported that Zhang Xin and Chen An were going to give the examination papers of the northern candidates with low level to the emperor for review. This was supposed to be an unwarranted thing, but Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, and Chen An was deprived of his fame and died of a car crack. Chen An died after less than 20 days as the No.1 scholar, with a tragic ending.

7. The most respected champion-Kang Hai

During the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, Kang Hai, 28, went to Beijing to take the exam. He vowed to win the first place. Unfortunately, the first place was taken away by Lu Duo, and he only got the fourth place. Kang Hai was not convinced and said to everyone: "Lu Duo has passed the exam, and the palace exam will never let others take it!" In the palace exam, Kang Hai really did well and won the championship in one fell swoop. His article surprised the examiner. When it was sent to the emperor for review, Xiaozong was full of praise, claiming: "I have never had this masterpiece in Daming for 150 years, and this volume has become unique!" So Zhu approved Kang Hai as the top scholar.

At first, when Kang Hai tried, he refused to get angry with Lu Duo. This time, naturally some people refused to be angry with him, and the second Sun Qing was one of them. He told everyone that his article was much better than Kang Hai's. When he saw Kang Hai's timely articles, he was amazed. I ran to Kang Hai's house, worshipped him for a long time and said I would like to be an apprentice. The praise of the Emperor, Huiji and the same year made Kang Hai famous all over the world, admired by the ruling and opposition parties, and got a glimpse of his elegant demeanor. Anyone who can get in touch with Kang Hai's family is proud of it. Kang Hai's grandfather used to be an official in Nanjing, and Nanjing people claimed: "The Kang Zhuang Yuan was born in Nanjing Feng Shui." Kang Hai's articles are admirable, but unfortunately we can't see the wonderful articles from now on.

8. The legendary number one scholar-Shi Dacheng

Shi Dacheng was the first scholar in Zhejiang in Qing Dynasty. At that time, there was a folk saying in Zhejiang that the number one scholar in Zhejiang in the Qing Dynasty "began in history and ended in bell". When he was in palace examination, the examination paper was drafted as the third place by the examiner. The emperor read it and praised his calligraphy greatly, saying, "This man must be a gentleman with neat regular script." So he was appointed as the champion. Coincidentally, the last champion in Zhejiang was Zhong, which surprisingly verified the saying that "history begins and the bell ends".

9. The champion who can eat-Li Pan

Li Pan was the top scholar of Ding Chou in Kangxi period. He is tall, especially able to eat, think and write slowly. So when I entered the palace for the exam, I carried 36 steamed buns. This means that no matter what happens today, Lai will finish writing the article in the examination room for fear of starvation, so he should bring enough dry food.

Sure enough, it was dark and the candidates handed in their papers. Li Pan had just started when the invigilator came to urge him to hand in his papers. He was so anxious that he sweated profusely and begged the examiner with tears streaming down his face: "A student's lifelong career is at stake. Please don't rush me, let me finish slowly. " The invigilator saw his pity and gave him some candles. At this time, the 36 steamed buns he had brought had been eaten, and he had the cheek to ask for some steamed buns, burning the midnight oil. I didn't hand in my paper until late at night. When Emperor Kangxi learned about this, he not only didn't blame him, but thought that he was a rare scholar who studied hard, so he made an exception and made him the champion. His fellow flower-exploring poet wrote a poem flirting with Li Pan: "Look at Pengcheng County, which is famous for its scholar. The appearance is crimson, and the knife and pencil are like Xiao He. There are children under the tree, and the bugs are still outside. Generally difficult to learn, thirty-six. " Since then, Li Pan, the top scholar, has spread all over the Stone Forest.

10, the luckiest champion-Bi Yuan

Bi Yuanzhong was a small official in the military department before winning the highest prize. On the night of April 25 that year, he and his colleagues Chu and Tong Feng were on duty in the military department. All three successfully passed the exam and are ready to take the palace entrance exam on April 26th. Chu and Tong wanted to go back to their rooms to prepare for tomorrow's entrance examination, so they said to the honest Bi Yuan, "We have good handwriting and are expected to win the championship. If your handwriting is not good, don't think about it and do it for us. " The imperial examination in Qing dynasty really emphasized calligraphy, but Bi Yuan's calligraphy was really not good, so he agreed. That night, the memorial of the Governor of Shaanxi, Gansu and Gansu on reclamation in Xinjiang was sent to the military department, and Bi Yuan studied it in detail. I didn't expect to test the current affairs policy the next day, and the topic was about reclamation in Xinjiang. As soon as he finishes his original plan, he will do it at once. As a result, Bi Yuan was the first in high school, followed by Chu Zhongguang and Tong Feng. Chu and Tong both sighed when they learned about it.
