Chapter 39: The Poetry Society

Wang Yuan was indeed a little confused, but only a moment later, Wang Yuan immediately understood the trick, just now Liu Xun said that Xuanzong was clever, and Wang Yuan quickly understood where he was.

"His Majesty beat the crown prince by belittleing Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming, and at the same time striking a balance in terms of successors, so that Li Linfu also gained. The return of the emperor's military power to the crown prince made the prince feel that His Majesty still trusted him, which was a balance of power and psychology. Wonderful, really wonderful. Wang Yuan was greatly impressed.

Liu Xun looked at Wang Yuan blankly and said, "You understood so quickly?" ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said in his heart: Do you want me to learn history in vain? The smart balance of power is a compulsory course for ancient emperors, and it is also a guarantee for sitting on the throne, you said it so clearly, how could I not understand.

"That's it, let's not talk about this matter anymore, by the way, I forgot to tell you something, your poem "Peach Blossom with a Human Face" has now been recited in Chang'an City; The musicians of the major song halls and youth halls have also composed songs and chanted. Your name has also spread among the celebrities of Chang'an, hehe, I'm afraid you don't know about it in the willow garden. ”

Wang Yuan was stunned and said, "What's going on?" ”

Liu Xun laughed and said, "What's so strange about that?" Good poems can naturally be recited, and the people who write poems can naturally become famous, and there are not many people outside who want to see you, a young talent who suddenly appeared. ”

Wang Yuan glared and said, "Is this serious? My heart is beating a little faster, and I have today. ”

Liu Xun laughed and said, "Zuo Xiang originally wanted to personally encourage you to say a few words, but he was afraid of the jealousy of these people who were summoned to you like that day, so he asked me to tell you about it." ”

Wang Yuan sighed and said, "I didn't expect it to be so easy to be famous in Chang'an. ”

Liu Xun said straightforwardly: "You are wrong, the old man has been in Chang'an for decades, and he has written more than a thousand poems, but none of them can cause a sensation in Chang'an." It is extremely difficult to become famous in Chang'an, and there are more than 1,000 new works in the daily poetry circle, and how many of them can be heard and heard? After our deliberate release of your Yongmei and Peach Blossom, it was quickly recognized by everyone, which shows that you still need real skills to become famous in the Chang'an poetry circle. ”

Wang Yuan sighed: "You told me the news before the poetry meeting, which made me feel so stressed. ”

Liu Xun smiled straight and said: "Erlang, you don't have to be stressed, with a few of your poems, we all believe that you will shine at the Pear Blossom Poetry Conference." And I also want to tell you that because of your two poems, this year's Pear Blossom Poetry Club has risen several levels, not only Chang'an famous artists participated, but also several poets who lived in other places will also come. ”

Wang Yuan exclaimed: "Who are they?" Is Li Taibai coming? ”

Liu Xunzhi smiled mysteriously and said: "I can't tell you, so as not to make you more stressed, all in all, the sages are all over, the grand event will be a big scene that you have never seen in your life, and you have never seen it in your life." ”

……

In addition to the recent major cases of Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming in the imperial court, I am afraid that the most talked about in the capital these days is this year's Pear Blossom Poetry Club.

Everyone knows that the Pear Blossom Poetry Club is the place where Li Shizhi and Li Linfu fight between the two countries, since the first year, after the two years, the real poets and scholars of Chang'an have disdained to participate, because they do not want to become a tool for the two countries to fight for power; Therefore, in previous years, the reputation of the Pear Blossom Poetry Club was greater than the content, although it was the left and right Xiangguo of the current dynasty that was convened by the leader, but most of the participants were some little-known figures. Or some down-and-out literati who want to find a good opportunity to speculate on their positions.

But this year is very different, in the court, the struggle between Li Linfu and the prince's party is no longer hidden; The forces in the DPRK and China have become clearly divided, everyone regards Li Shizhi as the prince's party, and the important ministers of the DPRK and China have already stood in their own ranks, and the forces of both sides have also handed over the fire in the case of Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming, so there is no longer anything to scruple about.

In fact, Li Shizhi and others, who originally thought that the case of Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming would be out of control, worked hard in the court, but they didn't expect to have a good result. Although Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming were demoted from Chang'an, the bad result was very different from what was expected.

You must know that Li Linfu, Yang Shenjin and others were impeached for the felony of 'seeking to abolish the establishment'. Such a crime is no different from rebellion, cutting off the head and stealing the house is still light, and the Zhulian Nine Clans is the end of this crime after being convicted. However, the current result is only to demote Chang'an, which undoubtedly gives Li Shizhi and others great confidence. It seems that this indicates that Li Linfu is not so important in the emperor's heart.

As a result, at this year's Pear Blossom Poetry Club, many important ministers of the DPRK and China no longer shy away from accepting invitations to come; Anyway, the position is clear, why not take advantage of the victory to chase and give Li Linfu another blow at the poetry meeting.

What's more, this year's poetry meeting is not only a highlight, but also two poems written by a person named Wang Yuan, who was born in Fangding, has been circulating in the capital these days. It has won unanimous praise among the celebrities and scholars in Chang'an, and this Wang Yuan is also going to participate in the poetry meeting, which is undoubtedly another major attraction.

Many celebrities who have no intention of participating in the complex struggle between the prince's left and right ministers, but are only obsessed with poetry and landscapes, are also attracted to it, which is even more unique. These people's love of poetry is better than the competition for fame and fortune, in the case of the continuous loss of Meng Haoran and He Zhizhang in the Chang'an poetry circle; When Li Taibai hung up his crown and disappeared, they were full of curiosity about this newly emerged Wang Yuan, who wrote two excellent poems.

It is in this back. Under the scene, the Pear Blossom Poetry Club finally arrived.

On the third day of the first month of February, the venue of the Pear Blossom Poetry Club, the first major green hall in Pingkangfang, was lit up in front of the gate of the Pear Blossom Pavilion, and the red carpet was spread from the door to the inner house, which was arranged as if it were a festival.

As we all know, Pingkangfang is the place where fireworks gather in Chang'an, and the Tang Dynasty did not prohibit officials from visiting the Qinglou, so Pingkangfang is almost the most lively area in Chang'an City.

The greater the demand, the higher the grade of the people who come, the higher the requirements for the major youth halls, giving birth to a large number of extremely high-end green building clubs, and each hall also has its own tricks to attract benefactors. Pretty looking prostitute. Women are not surprising, what they want is not only their looks but also their talents, and even outstanding in a certain aspect, so that they can satisfy their different hobbies.

Some bored people have summarized the most popular brands in Pingkang Fang, which are very representative.

The flowers of the Pear Flower Pavilion are really good at talking, can sing, although their posture is ordinary, but gentle and lovely, and they love it the most. 

Yang Miaoer, the curator of Xiangzhu, is not very good-looking. …… But he is clever, witty, and smiling, and is the favorite of big businessmen and wealthy people. 

Zheng Jujuju, the curator of Qiusheng, has elegant speech and excellent wit, and is the favorite dish of officials in the courts. 

The long prostitute Fu Niang across the Wanfu Pavilion talks about elegance, her eyes are like spring water, and her body is plump, her demeanor is graceful, and the second prostitute Wang Su Su and the female Kunzhong are also witty, good at changing and flattering, and are sought after by many people. 

Zhang Zhuzhu and Lan Xinhui of the Autumn Moon Pavilion are cute, can interpret the rhythm, and have a clever tongue like a drum, and they are the hearts of the majority of sons and daughters in Chang'an City.

……

All of this, hundreds of red prostitutes in Pingkangfang have their own supporters, and they all have their unique skills in taking people. And more than a dozen of the larger green pavilions also competed with each other, in addition to the prostitutes. The quality of women is hard work, and they don't give in to each other in hardware. Some built the Qingguan into a garden, some built it into a mansion for rich and noble families, and some built it into a academy, so that the red prostitutes in the hall could be integrated into it, giving the benefactors a sense of substitution and satisfying their strange psychology.

And such an event as the poetry club, it is the most suitable to hold in these places, the prostitute is on the side, the silk and bamboo are pleasant, the sound is delicate, the sake is fragrant, and the scenery is beautiful, almost all factors can be satisfied.

It is worth mentioning that the pear blossom poetry will not be named because of the pear blossoms in Chang'an in February, in fact, the February pear blossoms in Chang'an are just flower bones, because Chang'an is located in the northwest and is completely out of season. Even in the warm south, the pear blossoms bloom at the end of February, not to mention the still cold city of Chang'an. The reason why the Pear Blossom Poetry Club is called the Pear Blossom Poetry Club is entirely because the poetry club is held in the Pear Blossom Pavilion in Pingkangfang, which shows that the name of the Pear Blossom Pavilion is loud and the backing is tough.

It is rumored that the Ewha Pavilion is Li Linfu's property, which may explain why Li Linfu arranged the poetry meeting here, but this has not been confirmed. However, there is no big problem with whether it is or not, because from an objective point of view, Ewha Pavilion is definitely an excellent place to hold a poetry meeting, no matter who his backer is.

If it is judged by the stars of the next generation, the Ewha Pavilion can be rated as a five-star green pavilion.

A poem will be named after a green pavilion, not only does it not seem to be out of place, but it shows more of a romantic meaning.

In the morning, Wang Yuan and others arrived at Pingkangfang with Li Shizhi, the left minister, and Fangzhengli and others of Pingkangfang stood in front of the door to greet each other warmly; Dozens of shopkeepers maintain order on the streets. When Li Shizhi and others arrived, the scene of onlookers was slightly out of control.

Fortunately, more than a dozen entourages who were responsible for protecting Li Shizhi joined in, and these big men quickly calmed the scene and were able to maintain order.
