Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Moonlit Night of the Spring River (I)
The morning birds chirp awake from their slumber...
Today is a very important day for many Chang'an people...
After breakfast, the people began to gather around the country...
I never thought that hundreds of meters around Guozijian had been guarded by the Yulin Army...
Ordinary people can't wait to get close, but looking at this posture, you know that there must be a big man here today...
The more this happens, the more curious people become...
In fact, many people don't come to see the Wendou competition, but purely to witness the results of their bets...
A moment later, Kong Yingda, the priest of the country, led three hundred students of the Guozi prison to the gate of the academy.
This is the place where you can make an appointment with Chang'an...
Yesterday, Kong Yingda, the priest of the country, had already carried out the final mobilization with three hundred Guozi prisoners...
It may also be the last time I will lecture the prisoners as the priest of the country...
At the end of the ceremony, he burst into tears... He didn't want the reputation of Guozijian to be ruined in his hands...
I don't want anyone to trample on the dignity of the highest university in Datang...
Therefore, in this battle, only success is allowed, not defeat...
Under the influence of the Confucian sacrifice wine, the three hundred Guozi prison prisoners expressed their desire to share the glory and disgrace with the Confucian sacrifice wine...
Yesterday, General Wei Chi returned to Chang'an smoothly from the Western Turks...
The envoy of the Wild Protector came to Chang'an City with the tributes and documents contributed by the Western Turks and General Wei Chi...
His Majesty Li Er was very happy to entertain the envoys, and was very satisfied with General Wei Chi's trip to assist in quelling the rebellion against the Western Turks...
This matter was planned by Chang An Hou from beginning to end, and he couldn't help but make His Majesty Li Er feel very emotional in his heart...
Guarded by rows of neatly aligned guards, His Majesty Li Er's carriage came to the gate of Guozijian...
The crown prince Li Chengqian and the princess of Changle Li Lizhi also went together, if it wasn't for the confinement period, the eldest grandson queen would definitely come to watch...
This was followed by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty...
Everyone doesn't want to miss this rare opportunity to fight...
As the highest university and educational institution in Datang, Guozijian's construction style is still very strong in the atmosphere of the academy...
The two towering trees at the entrance of the college go straight into the sky...
The thick and round trunk of the tree can't be hugged by one person...
These two trees are said to be more than 200 years old...
At that time, Guozijian built the entrance of the college according to these two towering trees, which means the deep meaning of teaching and educating people...
I hope that the prisoners here can thrive like these two big trees...
Tao Ran didn't let everyone wait too long, and when he learned that His Majesty Li Er would come to the scene of Wendou this morning, Tao Ran decided to come as promised...
Tao Ran rode on the back of Rhubarb's horse, and Ma Zhou's carriage sat on the carriage with Erya and other three sisters and Qianqian girl...
"Confucius sacrifice wine, the younger generation is polite..."
Tao Ran solemnly gave Kong Yingda the gift of the younger generation...
Every person who has contributed to the progress of human civilization in history deserves our respect, which is the creed of Tao Ran's life...
"Chang'an Hou, you're welcome... The old man saw Chang'an Hou today, and he realized that the rumors were true... It's the son of the rumored master..."
Seeing Tao Ran treating him so politely, Kong Yingda's good impression suddenly doubled...
At least Chang'anhou gave himself enough face in front of his three hundred students...
As the inheritor of Confucianism that governs the world with filial piety, Kong Yingda did not feel a little hostile to his opponents in Tao Ran...
A pair of clear eyes on the young man's fair face, pure without a little impurity...
"Now that the Marquis of Chang'an has arrived as promised, can the Wendou officially begin?" Kong Yingda said to Li Gang, who was in charge of the evaluation of this literary fight.
Li Gang looked at His Majesty Li Er, and after getting the look of His Majesty Li Er's gesture, he nodded and said, "Yes, it has begun, the first competition of poetry is required, and the bright moon is required to write a poem with the theme of the river as the scene... One hour only..."
Tao Ran thought about it for a while, and immediately put pen to paper, and wrote down the Spring River Flower Moon Night written by the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ruoxu...
The tide of the spring river is even with the sea, and the bright moon on the sea is born together. Thousands of miles with the waves, where there is no moon in the spring river!
The river flows around Fangdian, and the moonlit flowers and forests are like hail. The frost in the air does not fly, and the white sand on the Ting cannot be seen.
Jiangtian is colorless and dustless, and the lonely moon wheel in the bright sky. Who first saw the moon on the riverside? When did Jiang Yue shine at the beginning of the year?
Life has been infinite from generation to generation, and Jiang Yue looks similar every year. I don't know who Jiang Yue treats, but I see the Yangtze River sending water.
The white clouds are gone, and the green maple is not worried. Who's going to be in the boat tonight? Where is Acacia Moon Tower?
Poor upstairs wandering for the moon, should be taken away from the makeup mirror. The jade curtain can't be rolled up, and the clothes are smashed and the anvil is returned.
At this time, we don't hear each other, and we are willing to shine on you month by month. The wild goose flies for a long time, and the fish and dragon dive into the water.
Last night, the dream of the idle pool fell, and the poor spring did not return home. The river flows to the end of spring, and the moon falls in the river and the lake slopes westward.
The oblique moon sinks into the sea fog, and the stone Xiaoxiang has an infinite road. I don't know how many people will return to the moon, and the falling moon will shake the river trees.
Everyone's eyes were on Tao Ran, who was swaying with a pen...
Because since the announcement of the crown prince and master Li Gang, Tao Ran did not have an obvious pause in thinking at all, and went straight to the pen...
In order not to appear out of place in public, Tao Ran also practiced brush calligraphy...
Although the font is not very beautiful, it can also be so-so for people to watch...
When Tao Ran put the pen away in one go and signaled that he had finished it, the college representative sent by Guozijian on the opposite side was still racking his brains and thinking hard...
The reason why Li Gang set the time of the first poetry and lyrics competition at the beginning was an hour, which was deliberate...
Without repeated reflection and scrutiny, it is impossible to write a well-known poem...
Seeing Tao Ran closing his pen so quickly, he completed the first poetry competition of Wendou...
An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Li Gang's mouth...
To say that among the people present, who wants Tao Ran to win the Wendou the most...
Maybe everyone didn't expect that it would be Li Gang, the prince and master who are known for their uprightness...
Because once Tao Ran wins, there is no doubt about it... The prince will follow Tao Ran to study at a new academy...
This is unacceptable to the highly respected Master Li Gang...
He's been a prince and teacher for generations... Countless halos of glory overhead...
At this time, His Majesty Li Er was already impatient, as a king who liked poetry very much, His Majesty Li Er was eager to know what Chang'an Hou wrote...
Seeing that the representative of Guozijian is still thinking hard...
His Majesty Li Er opened his mouth and said, "Why don't you appreciate Chang'anhou's poems first?" ”
Li Gang was also waiting for His Majesty Li Er's will, and he was sure that Tao Ran would definitely not be able to make his own brilliant poems with the bright moon as the theme and the rivers as the background in such a short period of time...
