"I'm going to participate too?" Xiao Yao was stunned at first, he didn't expect that Chen Xu said that he wanted to test himself, and he wanted to use this method, but Xiao Yao quickly calmed down, and said with a smile: "I came up with the topic of the essay on this topic, but now His Majesty wants me to participate in it, which seems a little unfair to the talents!" ”

"Unfair? Haha, listening to Shiro's tone, it seems that he is already confident, and he is very confident! In this way, the old man is looking forward to Shiro's masterpiece even more! And when your general trading house held this poetry conference, didn't you also say that as long as you are talented and pass the exam, you can participate in it regardless of whether they are from a noble family or a poor family! Plus your talented Xiao Shilang, no one knows in Jinling City, and I believe that everyone present is also eager to hear Shiro's masterpieces! Xu Ling cooperated with Chen Xu and said with a laugh.

"Xu Shangshu is Miaomiao's elder, and naturally he is also Shiro's elder, since even the highly respected Xu Shangshu has said so, if Shiro refuses again, it will be too hypocritical and disrespectful to the elders!" Xiao Yao stood up with a smile, saluted Xu Ling respectfully, after all, he is Xu Miao's grandfather, for Xu Miao's sake, he must also be respectful to him!

After speaking, Xiao Yao picked up a pot of wine, then strode to the middle of the Taiji Hall, raised the wine pot and looked around in greetings, drank all the wine in his hand, and began to memorize the poem while the wine was strong!

"You don't see, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns. You don't see it, Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk. Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. I am born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone! "Shixian's poem will enter the wine, and it was recited by Xiao Yao in a heroic and domineering voice, which immediately made everyone stunned!

"Five-flowered horses, daughters and daughters, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and sell eternal sorrow with you!" When Xiao Yao recited the last sentence of this poem, the entire Taiji Hall had become quiet, and everyone was shocked by this heroic poem, what a heroic verse, what a free and easy artistic conception, it turned out that drinking alcohol can be so bold and domineering!

However, from the words of this poem, there seems to be a feeling of borrowing wine to kill sorrows, and there is a taste of depression and helplessness! Could it be that Xiao Yao is complaining about being removed from office by Emperor Chen Xu? Is it because I can no longer go to the battlefield to fight for my country and feel depressed?

Everyone was savoring Xiao Yao's amazing poem, and even Chen Xu, Xu Ling, and Baoliang Monk, the three most powerful authority figures here, nodded their heads and exchanged their views on the poem.

"Good! What a heroic poem! Shiro is really an export chapter, this poem is really well written, and the words reveal a kind of manly man's bold spirit, which is worthy of being a general who killed the Qi army on the battlefield and fled! When I listen to this poem of yours, I can't help but want to have a drink with you! Chen Bo was the first to applaud!

"Yes, Xiao Xiaoyou's poem does not use those gorgeous rhetoric, nor does it portray delicate emotions, only the heroism and roughness between men, combined with Xiao Xiaoyou's birth experience, a general who has experienced life and death, blood and tears on the battlefield, can write such a free and easy poem!" Monk Baoliang also praised and said, but with Chen Shubao beside him, he couldn't say it too obviously!

"Poetry is indeed good poetry! Xiao Shilang was born in the rivers and lakes, acted rudely and freely, and had been on the battlefield, so the poems he wrote were of course rough and proud! It's just such a masterpiece, I don't know if Xiao Shilang wrote it in advance? After all, this topic that I was born to be useful was the one he brought up himself! And it's a pity, Shiro is no longer in the army now, and can only hide in the general casino all day long to drink and have fun, I don't know if I can write such heroic verses in the future! Uncle Chen said sourly.

"Being able to write a poem about drinking and persuading you to drink is indeed a manly poem! Compared with the flowers and plants written by those talents just now, the poems of love between men and women are much more heroic! What is the name of this poem? Chen Xu nodded and praised, he was very satisfied with Xiao Yao's performance tonight. I love eBooks

"Will be in the wine!" In the face of the praise of so many people, Xiao Yao did not have a trace of excitement, but said flatly.

"Will be in the wine! Well, good name! After listening to Xiao Yao's poem, I really want to drink a few more glasses of wine! Good! is worthy of Xiao Shilang, who has a good export, I think you can speak well on weekdays, I think you are just sharp-tongued and tricky, but now after listening to your poem, I know that Shiro is really a poet who is talented! I think the first place in this poetry conference is none other than you Xiao Shilang! Chen Xu said with a laugh.

"Definitely! I said that this poetry conference was held by our general firm, if I took the first place, it would be a bit unsuitable, and others thought that our general firm was reluctant to give up the 1,000 taels of silver! Therefore, please choose the best one among the works of those ten talented people, designate him as the first place, and take away one thousand taels of silver from our general firm, so as to show that we are fair, just and open in holding this poetry conference, so that all the readers in the world can trust us! Xiao Yao shook his head and said.

"Shiro is so generous, it seems that he made a lot of money from the people of Qi a few days ago! Haha, good! Since Shiro is dedicated to the reputation of General Firm, I should also be an adult and give you and General Firm a good name! Judges, now according to your score just now, among these ten talents, the rankings will be selected, and then the general commercial bank will award prizes! Chen Xu also felt that Xiao Yao was right, at this time, it was indeed necessary to maintain the reputation of the General Firm, after all, a few days ago, the General Firm seized the goods of the Qi people, which violated the business morals!

"Your Majesty, our general firm has prepared these certificates, Your Majesty only needs to write their names on these ten certificates according to the ranking of these ten talents, and award them as certificates, although our general firm also has bonuses to reward them, but even if there is more silver, it is not as precious as Your Majesty's imperial pen and ink treasure! Therefore, Your Majesty can write their names in person, so that their ranking in this poetry conference can be recognized by everyone, and this poetry conference finals can be more complete! Xiao Yao suggested.

"Well, this poetry conference was held here at my request, and the judging was also hand-picked by me, so I also recognized their rankings, so Shiro's suggestion is very reasonable! Come on, bring these awards, wait with pen and ink, and I will write down their rankings in my own hand! Chen Xu also readily agreed.

"Since Your Majesty has decided to designate them, then their ranking must have a resounding name! The grass people suggest that the first place we call it the champion! The second place is called the eye of the list! The third place is called Tanhua! The remaining fourth to tenth places, we will collectively call them Jinshi! Xiao Yao continued to suggest.

Because now these talents are directly competing in front of Emperor Chen Xu in the Taiji Palace, although the competition is to write poems and lyrics, but in terms of form, isn't it the last palace test in the imperial examination in the future, and the first place in the palace examination is the champion and the first in the street!

"Champion, Bangyan, Tanhua, Jinshi? Well, Shiro really likes to come up with these new and quirky names, but the first place on these awards can indeed be called the champion! Good! Since you initiated and organized this poetry conference, then these names should be determined according to what you said! Champion champion, this title sounds really good! Chen Xu was in a good mood, so he nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiao Yao hurriedly saluted and said.

"Don't rush Xie Zhen yet! Xiao Shilang, you made so many requests to me just now, and I agreed, and now it's my turn to make requests to you! The song you will enter the wine just now is indeed a good poem, bold and atmospheric, but after all, this topic that I am born to be useful is set by you, so this song will inevitably make people suspect that you wrote it in advance, not your on-the-spot performance! So now I want you to improvise another poem to prove that you are really clever and quick-witted! And the topic is formulated by me personally, well, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, then you will take the Mid-Autumn Festival as the theme, and immediately compose another poem! Chen Xu looked unsatisfied, looked at Xiao Yao expectantly and smiled.
