The drum beat suddenly sounded in the Wenwu Palace, and the drum immediately overshadowed the noise in the crowd.

The drumming continued, and the rhythm became faster and faster, only to hear the sound of a bang, and then it came to an abrupt end.

A group of elderly men walked out of the south gate of the Wenwu Palace, and the Praetorian Guards opened the way in front.

Their appearance made the audience boil.

"Oh my God! The leader is Li Xun, who participates in political affairs and serves in the Yellow Gate! ”

"That's the Deputy Prime Minister!"

"The eight old men behind Master Li Xun should be the Hanlin Bachelor, the examiner of the Poetry Society."

The uproar resumed.

Not only was the crowd in the audience discussing, but the contestants on the stage were also talking to each other, especially the old man who looked at the leader, his eyes were full of heat.

Not to mention participating in political affairs, the Huangmen squire alone is in the official system, which is enough for people on or off the stage to look up.

Maybe there was only one person present who didn't feel it, and that was Jiang Chen, after glancing at the south gate, he half-squinted his eyes and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Jiang Chen has learned the rules of this poetry meeting through inquiry.

Li Xun, who came over, was the chief examiner, and the eight Hanlin bachelors behind him were all examiners.

The poetry club is temporarily divided into two rounds, and the first round of rules is that there will be a question on each step up, and poems will be written according to the question site.

In order to prevent the contestants from making it in advance, the topics will only be revealed at the beginning of the poetry session.

What made Jiang Chen find it interesting was that the first round was actually a point system. For example, if you make a poem on the first ladder, you can get one point, and the second level will get two points, for a total of three points. Each point can make the pillar rise by five centimeters, what pillar, Jiang Chen doesn't know for the time being, but only after composing the poem of the first layer can he go up to the second layer.

Moreover, Li Xun and the eight Hanlin Scholars each have two points in their hands, and at the end of each layer, if there are poems they like, or recognized good poems, they can give the points of the first layer to the contestants. Two levels, that is, after going up two levels, the four contestants with the highest final score can proceed to the second round.

Jiang Chen is not really closing his eyes and recuperating, in fact, he is trying to think about the ancient poems after the early Tang Dynasty, such as Li Bai's, Du Fu's, Bai Juyi, Su Shi, and so on. He didn't know what the title was, so he could only recall it first, but fortunately he was still familiar with Tang and Song poems.

"It's you!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out on the stage.

If this was an ordinary contestant, naturally no one would pay attention, but it was one of the three young people in the central government who made the sound, and they were the favorite contestants to win the championship in this poetry meeting, so their every move was always watched.

At this time, everyone's eyes on the stage fell on Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen felt something, opened his eyes, looked directly at the white-clothed young man on the far left in the center, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's me, the monk who can recognize himself." ”

Yes, this young man in white is the one he met by the lake yesterday.

Jiang Chen just came to the first step and saw that the so-called 'acquaintance' was this young man, but he didn't expect that he didn't find it, but the young man greeted him instead. An unfriendly greeting counts as a greeting, doesn't it?

"Who is this monk? seems to be very familiar with Xiao Zuo. ”

"Looking at Xiao Zuo's expression, this monk seems to have aroused his hostility."

"Be careful with this monk."

The other contestants on the stage muttered to themselves, except for a few, the others looked at Jiang Chen with a solemn look.

"Xiao Zuo, when did you meet Master Shangsanzang?" On the left and right of Xiao, that is, the most central young man, looked at Jiang Chen with interest.

"Bai Yi, you and I are both disciples of Taifu, and it is not your turn to take care of my affairs." Xiao Zuo snorted, and no longer paid attention to Jiang Chen, in his eyes, he didn't care what a Sanzang mage, he was willing to bow down to the scriptures, but compared to poetry, he, like most people, chose to ignore it, but he was a little surprised to see Jiang Chen before.

Jiang Chen shook his head, obviously, he was ignored again.

However, when I heard the discussion around me, I learned that the 'acquaintance' Xiao Zuo and Bai Yi were the favorite contestants to win the championship, in addition to the two of them, there was also a young man standing on the left side of Bai Yi, also a young man about twenty years old, dressed in blue, with sharp edges and corners, and a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth from time to time, which made people feel like a spring breeze and set off his handsomeness even more.

"Fang Fengyu!" Jiang Chen muttered, he didn't know the name of the other two before, but Fang Fengyu was different, yesterday when he was wandering around Chang'an City, he heard all kinds of news about Fang Fengyu.

For example, Fang Fengyu is the youngest marquis of the Tang Dynasty, who joined the army for his father at a young age, and after bloody battles in exchange for fame, he was named the prince of Yuhou by Li Shimin, and he is even more brilliant in terms of literary talent. He is like a legend, quite famous in Datang, and countless girls fall in love with him.

Jiang Chen now knew Li Shiyue's uneasiness, and Fang Fengyu was obviously participating in the poetry meeting for her.

Such a powerful opponent is indeed a trouble.

Jiang Chen did not underestimate Fang Fengyu, he became famous at a young age, and he must have his excellence.

What's more, although the other contestants are unknown at the moment, who knows if they will kill a dark horse after the next round, there are many hidden geniuses among these people.

And what Jiang Chen has to do is wait.

Whether it is Jiang Chen or other contestants, they are waiting for this feast in the stands.

In their eyes, it is not just as simple as participating in the poetry meeting, but also a stage for fame in the Tang Dynasty.

……

The moment the sun in the center of the firmament moved to the west, Li Xun and the eight Hanlin scholars had already come to the circular jade platform and took their seats one after another.

Clang~

The moment the words fell, the melodious and long-ranging bell resounded throughout the Wenwu Hall at this moment, dozens of consecutive sounds, endless, shaking the sky.

Click, click, click.

On the first floor, a hundred slightly raised pillars suddenly rose on the stairs, and each pillar was placed with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Jiang Chen found a pillar close to him and sat down.

"Whether you are a humble disciple or a noble genius destined to be extraordinary, as long as you have literary talent, you are allowed to have dreams here. This year's Qixi Poetry Festival is such a stage, which can make you set off monstrous waves, become famous in the Tang Dynasty, and become the most dazzling. It can also make you still obscure, and you can't set off a trace of waves. I'm looking forward to your surprise for me. ”

Li Xun's old and majestic voice resounded in this Wenwu Palace, and at the same time looked at the sky.

"The first round has two levels, each of which not only rewards points, but also points in our hands, and our evaluation is that in addition to the quality of the poems, we also pay attention to calligraphy, neatness of writing, and so on. The topic of the first round of the first level is spring, summer, autumn and winter, and you can choose a season to make a corresponding poem! Each level is limited to one incense stick (half an hour)! If it is not completed by the time, it will be eliminated on the spot. ”

"Complete the first level and wait for the change of the pillar in the second level before proceeding."

"I announce that the Qixi Poetry Festival has officially begun!"

Li Xun's voice continued to resound, clearly echoing in everyone's ears, and for a while, the audience paid attention to the contestants on the stage.
