At this time, Li Zhi was already seated, and he already had an idea in his heart.

He liked Jia Zhi's song "Early Dynasty Daming Palace": the silver candle is long and the purple Mo is long, and the forbidden city is bright in spring. Thousands of weak willows are weeping and trivial, and hundreds of warblers are around the chapter. The sound of the sword followed the jade step, and the clothes provoked the incense of the royal furnace. On the pond of Enbo, the king of the dynasty dyed Han.

Since Tang Gaozong intends to highlight the rare status of the Tang literati, but also to promote the prosperity of the rule, the revival of culture and education, and the prosperity of the world of national peace and security, of course, he must choose to praise the meaning of poetry, those negative escapist thoughts, escaping reality and negativity, and deliberately highlighting politics. Struggle, some dark sides of feudal politics, the pursuit of a leisurely life and other words and phrases are naturally not in the scope of consideration.

Of course, choosing this song to praise virtue should be a poem, that is, there will be a suspicion of flattery and praise, but Li Zhi does not pay attention to how later generations evaluate him, he is more accustomed to facing reality from later generations.

There are many clichés in the language of this poem, but it is not boring and boring, and the political color is very strong, and it is a work that describes the scene of hundreds of officials going to court.

One of the major features of this poem is that the whole text describes the scene with more appropriate words, although some praise rhetoric is used, but it does not deliberately describe the scene of the Daming Palace in the early dynasty, and the words are very concentrated, and there are no more off-topic words.

To put it bluntly, this poem is pale in artistic conception, although there are stacks of words, but it still falls into clichés. However, because the scene is too grand and extremely suitable for the occasion, the luxurious style of the palace and the serious and solemn scenes of the early dynasty of the hundred officials are vividly depicted, isn't it exactly in line with Gaozong's intentions?

Poems with strong political overtones are usually written because they want to express subjective respect and objective seriousness, and it is inevitable that the personality is not prominent, which is far worse than criticizing current events, and can be heartily added to one's own feelings.

Writing a scene of court life is to let future generations remember the current situation of Chang'an City at this time, let more people understand this magnificent and majestic scene, and let people understand the prosperity of Dazhi from the side.

Li Zhi doesn't care about other people's hearts and secretly sighs that he can't avoid vulgar views, his biggest symbol is that he is the most profit-seeking businessman, and he only intends to enter the second round in order to find the opportunity to give full play to his talents in the next proposition.

In fact, most of the poets of the past dynasties have written such kitsch poems, that is, the three poems of the poet immortal Li Bai's "Qingping Tune", which were ordered by Tang Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan when he was in Chang'an to worship Hanlin, when Tang Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan were interested in appreciating peony flowers.

Similar to Li Bai's poems in court poetry, Li Zhi's poems are also cautious and cautious, understanding that adapting to the situation is the fundamental way to survive, but it is not the time for him to show his personality.

Moreover, no matter the Tang Dynasty or the Song Dynasty, it was not an era when they emphasized democracy, criticized current affairs, and could add their feelings heartily, once this happened, they would be looked at differently and even avoided by others.

He was satisfied with the poems, but when he put down the pen, his mood immediately dimmed, and his calligraphy skills were only slightly beyond his actual age, which really made it difficult for him to write.

At a certain moment, just when he was hesitating, he had a whim, quietly poured a wisp of true qi into his right hand holding the pen, silently recited the meridian strengthening technique, and tried his best to connect the artistic conception of calligraphy with the palm of his hand.

With his pen fingers in the palm of the hand, the five fingers work together to move the pen, the strokes, the structure of the wave in one go, the meaning of the word has been immersed in it, can not say that the charm can be signed, but also the image can be expressed, the technique is desirable, the chapter can reach, compared with their previous real pen meaning can be several times improved.

Forced to press down the ecstasy in his heart, he is even more like a god, a few lines of line, the cloth is precise, the knot is compact, the circle is more natural, it is calculated to be straight and square, and there is a degree of retraction, but there is more than enough to evenly pronounce it, but there is also a kind of rigidity that overemphasizes the italics, which should be the reason for the lack of its own unique word understanding.

However, once you have the essence of your own words, you will be a generation of calligraphers, who can write to this extent, but it is also just right, and then there is a breakthrough, it is inevitable that there will be more and more shocking dangers.

Although this poem "Daming Palace of the Early Dynasty" deliberately praises the righteousness of sycophancy, it also does not lose its profound writing skills, otherwise that Jia Zhi would not have been so praised by Tang Xuanzong in history.

Among the more than 1,300 literati, there are hundreds of invigilators constantly wandering, and when Li Zhi's complete writing is finished, he only needs to wave his hand, and someone will come to collect it, and others can leave on their own, as long as they return before the results are announced.

It took less than half a burnt of incense to complete the masterpiece, which made the officials on the viewing platform whisper, especially the king of Linhuai County, who kept asking for him.

Li Zhi didn't know all this, and returned to Zhengqing Wenqitang happily, because the venue needed to be quiet, he had already been told that it was not the time to officially open the door, and only after two rounds would it be moved to another place, and that was the time for real business.

In front of the third-floor window, Pang Xi's surprise voice came, although it was extremely low, Li Zhi raised his head as if he was telepathically with her, although she was still veiled lightly.

Now that the entire courtyard of Zhengqing Wenqitang is under martial law, it does not prevent him from walking freely.

In the shop on the first floor, several people from the grandson family were there, and the young people crowded to the second floor to watch the excitement, and only a few old people were waiting for tea.

Seeing Li Zhi coming, they also stood up and asked, and when he retold the poems he wrote, Sun Yunshan laughed: "Originally, I and a few others were still talking about you, don't deliberately show your unique thoughts because of your youth and vigor, and write them into the poems to let people know that there is something wrong!" This song "Early Dynasty Daming Palace" follows the rules and just fits the scene! Where is Chang'an City? It is the place where the Tang Dynasty Jingshi, the political and cultural center, the Daming Palace is located, and the royal family and magnates gather together, describing the scene of the forbidden city, isn't it just the right time! ”

Li Zhi shook his head and smiled, "No matter how you say it, there is also a suspicion of opportunism, it is inevitable to sing praises and promote the meaning, and it is inevitable to be called a clever work!" ”

"So what?" It was Sun Haoche, the younger brother of the head of the family, who spoke, and he had a strong literati atmosphere, "Since it is necessary to present to the court in person, it is the foundation of our dynasty to be a subject, and others can't say his words, and those who have experience will only bow their heads and agree." ”

Li Zhi nodded yes, but he had another thought in his heart, he was not afraid of the contemporaries to question directly, but the future generations will not shy away from the words, each has a strong backbone, cynicism has become a synonym for uninhibited in later generations, and the latecomers compete to praise and worship.

They did not deeply consider that any dynasty had its own peculiarities, and the burning of books and the pit of Confucianism was the unifying ideology of any authoritarian ruler, and it was a serious crime for Confucianism to confuse confusion with fallacies.

With his full knowledge of the countless famous passages of ancient times, he naturally knew that such poems and texts containing indignant thoughts were more likely to be widely circulated, not to mention that at the current imperial decree to announce poetry and writing, how could excessive or decadent words be allowed to be included in them.

After a few simple conversations and jokes, everyone also knew that he had limited time, so they let him go to the third floor, and after the second floor, dozens of people crowded into the corridor to greet him, of course, only people he didn't know very well.

After coming to the third floor for a long time, the three girls came up, knowing that he was already on the first and second floors, and no one asked him about the inside of the examination room.

"The proposition of Chang'an City should be very easy to predict, Brother Zhengwen has been here for a while, and many people below have already submitted their papers in advance, it seems that the first round will end soon, don't miss the next round." Yu Ran reminded carefully.

"How do you know I'm going to make it to the next round?" Li Zhi asked with a smile.

"Shhhh If it were me, I would also be sure to enter, the proposition of Chang'an City had long been used indiscriminately by the former Sui, and related poems can be seen almost everywhere, so what's so difficult? There was disdain in her tone.

"Yu Ran is very high-spirited in writing, although she can't boast of writing a few amazing masterpieces you have made, but her writing skills are also quite good!" Qing Qile said.

"So, the second round will be over at noon, and we'll be able to open our doors then?" Pang asked asked.

"Really, Cry reminded me that it is very likely that we will be able to move to another place at noon, and our people need to have lunch in advance, so as not to have time at that time!" Li Zhi looked at Qingqi.

Qingqi nodded, "I'll find someone to notify you of the closure." ”

Who knew that Chunrou, who was beckoned, smiled and said: "Manager Feng has already arranged for someone to go, and even he himself followed to find the doorman of the East City, after all, there are many onlookers, and it is still difficult to squeeze out without them to lead the way!" ”

Li Zhi praised, "I have found more and more that Feng Xing is an amazing person, he has inherited the tradition of Feng family stewardship very comprehensively, and he is not panicked in case of trouble, and he is quite calm!" Qingqi, in the next step, I plan to transfer him to you, and I will temporarily give him the position of the head of Zhengqing Wenqitang, mainly responsible for taking care of the delivery and coordination of all parties, and the monthly salary is ten taels of silver, do you think it is good? ”

Qingqi agreed: "Ten taels of silver, it's about the same as his grandfather Feng Shiye!" Our Zhengqing Wenqitang will not be small in the future development of the county king's mansion, this position is still suitable for his income! And Yu Ran and I are women's families in the end, and some things must have such characters! However, the two major factories in Fengwu County also need similar figures, who are you going to take over? ”

"It is said that Master Liu has this ability, but he is also indispensable to the shopkeeper, and he is also old, so he can't go back and forth. Qingqi, do you have a suitable candidate? ”

"In my opinion, Aunt Yu Ling is the most suitable! It's just that she obviously can't be separated, and Chang Yubo doesn't have much energy, this candidate is really hard to find. Why don't I let my father think of a way? ”

"It is not appropriate for the county prince's mansion to be more involved, it is not that it will not be of the same mind as me, but that other shareholders will have opinions, and it will be troublesome to take the opportunity to install them! I see that Feng Xing and Chang Yubo each share some of their responsibilities, for example, Chang Yubo is in charge of the paper industry, and Feng Xing is in charge of clothing, anyway, you have to keep running in Fengwu County, and wait for a suitable candidate! ”

"That's all there is to it. No, there is another person we forgot, Uncle Xing, the head of the criminal law, is the person next to Uncle Yang, who has had contact with you! ”

Li Zhi's eyes lit up, the head of the punishment was another descendant of Yang Gaotang's side, just like Tong Lao Liu, and he also had a certain amount of kung fu, although he was much lower than Granny Xia, but it was not much worse than Li Yi.

"I remember that he was sent to your side earlier, how did Mr. Yang disappear, and he disappeared with him, I thought I followed Mr. Yang!"

In fact, he has always been in the other hospital, and at that time, in order to prevent Mr. Zhang from taking action, he was arranged to be in the other hospital. Later, I planned to let him come back, but Uncle Wu got the news that the Li family and the other courtyard were together, thinking that Uncle Xing continued to mingle in it, and might find a few people from Steward Zhang's party, so he has been in a dark place that we can't detect. ”

"That's him, I also know a little bit about Uncle Xing, and he can be regarded as a descendant by Uncle Yang, and his character is not bad!"

The candidates were decided for the time being, and when several people were communicating, several other women from the family tried to come forward to get acquainted with Li Zhi, and they were invited by Qingqi to introduce them one by one.
