Chapter 22: The Tang New Year Poetry Meeting

This courtyard is clearly a meeting place within the Taoist temple.

As soon as Yang Jian stepped in, he saw a large space of 1,000 square meters, the house was carved with beams and paintings, the decoration was elegant, all the solid wood floor, and the cotton boots stepped on it without sound.

The place where the plum blossoms are placed are small coffee tables, and each small coffee table is surrounded by two people or four people, which are scattered, regular and seem to have some kind of rules, and everyone seems to be dressed up to attend.

What especially surprised Yang Jian was that he saw many women on the field!

It's not a Daogu, but a VIP who was invited to the party!

This is a bit different from the knowledge of ancient feudal society that Yang Jian knows, doesn't it mean that ancient women don't go out of the door, and they don't step out of the second door?

The enlightened Tang Empire never imagined that it had become enlightened to this point!

"Li Xiang has seen the eldest brother and the second brother!"

Li Xiang walked to the center and saluted respectfully to the two young men who were already sitting on the seat.

"The third brother is late today, and my aunt has been talking about you."

Speaking is the great prince of the Tang Empire, King Li Cong, although the current emperor Xuanzong has not yet established a prince, but the rules for the establishment of the royal heir, the position of the prince, for Li Cong, is only a matter of time.

However, Li Cong has always been cautious in the palace, and he is not arrogant because of his special status, as the heir to the future Tang Dynasty throne, he does not allow himself to give people the impression of arrogance.

"What the eldest brother taught me is that the third brother knows that he is wrong."

Li Xiang respectfully saluted his eldest brother Li Cong, then turned around and said goodbye and returned to his seat.

His seat was below the eldest brother and second brother, and there were several famous ministers in the court in the middle, but when Yang Jian saw Li Xiang turn around, the brother behind him, who had been silent, had a look of disdain and disdain.

Who is he?

Second brother?

Who is Li Xiang's second brother?

But history clearly records that Li Xiang is the seventh emperor of the Tang Empire?

It seems that the record in a history textbook is always only one ten-thousandth of the truth, and the truth is far richer and more wonderful than a few simple lines on the page.

At least, judging from the current situation, Li Xiang ranks third, and according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, there is almost no way for him to sit on the throne of the emperor.

Because he had two brothers in front of him.

And behind him, there are also many princes, among them, it is difficult to say that there are no people who covet the throne, born in the emperor's family, and the throne is their only mind and obsession.

After Yang Jian watched Li Xiang retreat, he took himself and Zhang Zheng to sit on the seats that had been arranged for them, perhaps because he didn't know in advance that there were people who had temporarily joined them at this table, so Li Xiang temporarily beckoned the service staff in the Taoist temple to bring Yang Jian a futon.

The futon should be made of straw, soft and elastic to sit on.

Yang Jian thinks that the ancients are really tired of writing in such a crepe way, isn't it soreness to sit like this?

However, he still did not say it.

On the stage at this moment, Shi Shiran has already walked out of a female Taoist with a tall posture and graceful demeanor, she is not pink, her long hair is light, she is wearing a gray Taoist robe, a pure white dust, and the fairy aura is in the fragrance and grace that can not be suppressed.

Yang Jian was a little stunned for a while.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the annual Tang New Year Poetry Meeting hosted by Yuzhenguan, and Yuzhen is meeting you again. Standing here at this moment, the poor road is still full of feelings in his heart, the old year has passed, and presumably in the past year, all the Tang Dynasty talents and talented women here are naturally more sophisticated than last year at this time, according to the convention, every year the poetry will have a theme, everyone around the theme to compose poems, and as a recognition and reward for talent, this year's winner can also get a generous prize, of course, as for what this year's prize is, please forgive the poor road here to sell a pass! ”

The Taoist on the stage turned out to be the famous Princess Yuzhen in history?

Yang Jian looked at her and was secretly surprised in her heart, she couldn't imagine that the real Princess Yuzhen was so beautiful and moving, and judging from her hosting style just now, she had the demeanor and elegance of a big-name host, her words were warm, her feelings were hot, and she was full of emotions, this is the necessary quality of an excellent host!

"May I ask Your Highness the Princess, what is the theme of this year's poetry meeting?"

A more anxious son-in-law who didn't know which minister's family couldn't help asking.

"It turned out to be the son of Li Zhongcheng's family, Li Gongzi asked well, poor Dao will now tell you that the theme of this year's poetry will be the same as last year, Mei, everyone knows that this year's heavy snow in the Tang Empire has been falling for three months, but there is still no weakening trend, all say that Ruixue is a good year, but, in the ice and snow, the only flower that blooms in the cold is still the best in our flowers, plum blossoms, then, let us fully expand our imagination, and use our talents to do a collective praise for this year's plum blossoms! Well, speaking of which, this year's poetry meeting has officially begun! Let's start brewing! ”

After Princess Yuzhen finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to everyone in the audience and signaled that it was time to start.

"May?"

As soon as Princess Yuzhen's words fell, a burst of boos immediately rang out in the audience.

It's not that Mei is difficult to write, but that the theme of Mei has appeared many times, and if you write it again, it will be difficult to write new ideas, but it is better to come up with a new theme, which is easier for people to play.

However, who knows what Princess Yuzhen, the host of this year's poetry meeting, thinks?

As the most trusted woman around the emperor of the Tang Empire today, Princess Yuzhen herself is a talented and socially skilled woman, and under her search, the outstanding talents and talented women of the Tang Empire will have one more opportunity to become famous every year in addition to the normal imperial examination.

Every year, the Tang New Year Poetry Meeting, the winner of the first prize will often become famous, so as to enter the next round of the imperial examination interview process to obtain excellent good scores, obtain a high-level ranking, and benefit a lot. As for the princes and grandchildren, of course, this is also an excellent stage for performance, after all, every emperor likes talented heirs, especially for those princes and princesses who have the heart to show themselves in front of the emperor, and they are not willing to let go of such an opportunity in front of them.

Therefore, this is also the reason why the annual Tang Poetry Festival hosted by Yuzhenguan is so popular.
