A small cup of tribute tea was just a small episode, and then Zhao Yuanqi talked about the issue of governing the country, as if he intended to talk about it in front of Zhao Yuanrong.

"Yongning has many unique views on governing the country, such as the people are noble and the monarch is light, the water can carry the boat and the boat can be overturned, etc., these ideas have benefited the son of this world a lot, what does Gongzi Rong think?" Zhao Yuanqi seems to have the intention of recommending Ji Ning to Zhao Yuanrong.

Zhao Yuanrong's face was slightly embarrassed, she didn't want to name herself and Ji Ning for a long time, so she could only say a few perfunctory sentences, and there was already a meaning of farewell between her words.

Ji Ning thought to himself: "After all, the prince of Chongwang is unqualified, and he can't see that he is disliked by Zhao Yuanrong. He thought it would be helpful for me to have more admiration for a princess, but he didn't know that he was making trouble for himself. ”

Ji Ning said: "The study of the way to govern the country is limited to some knowledge in books, not to mention any insight, but His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is too respectful!" ”

"Then this Ji Gongzi, I don't know how much he has made in poetry?" Zhao Yuanrong asked as if in revenge.

This was asked very suddenly, even Zhao Yuanqi and Zhao Yuanxuan's brothers and sisters were stunned, they didn't know that Zhao Yuanrong actually knew Ji Ning, and they were very strange, why Princess Wenren came up to Ji Ning as if she had a prejudice, and even the tone of her voice was not very polite.

"Under the poem, a little study!" Ji Ning said.

"It's a good sentence to study a little, and then I want to see Ji Gongzi's talent in person!" After Zhao Yuanrong finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and got up directly and went downstairs, Zhao Yuanxuan hurriedly got up and followed, only Zhao Yuanqi wanted to stay to receive Ji Ning and a few people.

"Yongning, don't be surprised, my ...... Friend, her temper is a little weird, she is still very kind, maybe she is bothered by some troubles! Zhao Yuanqi was still speaking for Zhao Yuanrong at this time.

Ji Ning smiled slightly and said: "The prince has seen the outside, and he is not surprised by it, I hope it will not affect the relationship between the prince and this son Rong!" ”

"Where will it be? Seeing that this poetry meeting is about to start, Yongning, a few brothers, let's go, let's go downstairs and have a look? Zhao Yuanqi made an invitation.

"Well, that's exactly what I mean!" Tang Xie and the others couldn't wait for a long time, and when they heard the invitation, they all prepared and went downstairs with Zhao Yuanqi.

……

……

The Beijing Poetry Festival officially began at the end of noon.

The Beijing Poetry Club lasts for two days, speaking of which, it is just an afternoon and a morning, and there will be a small literary meeting that night, and some students will be invited to the Gongyuan Academy, and they will sit together and discuss the Tao, not about poetry and songs, nor about Confucianism, but on poetry, the son who performed well in the poetry meeting on the first day will be invited to participate, and Ji Ning, as a seed player, was originally going to participate.

But he was invited to attend an academic seminar in the evening, and he did not attend this Gongyuan Literary Conference, but gave the opportunity to Tang Jie.

Tang Xie and the others didn't know that Ji Ning was actually going to attend an academic seminar, and they thought that there was still some "unfinished love" between Ji Ning and Liu Ruyi, and after three days passed, they might find a way to extend it for a day or two, so they wouldn't bother to ask Ji Ning about his private affairs.

When a few people went downstairs, the number of students gathered outside the Gongyuan did not decrease but increased, which will make the entire Gongyuan outside the candidates, who came to participate in the Beijing Poetry Club, about 10,000 people.

Most of them are people who came to the capital to take the exam, almost six or seven thousand, and the rest of the students also include some Xiucai, or Tongsheng, and some Baiding.

The person who presided over the Beijing Poetry Society was not a person from the imperial court, because the poetry club was originally organized by the people.

There are a lot of people who organize this poetry meeting, probably a poetry club in the north, because there will be a competition between the poetry club and other poetry clubs, and over time a small-scale competition will be formed, and the Beijing Poetry Club is one of the most famous competitions, many students from the south and north come to participate, strictly speaking, there will be every year, but only in the year before the examination to participate in the most, because after all, the second spring is the spring.

“…… I heard that the invitation to preside over this poetry meeting is the famous Confucian Zhu Qian, who is good at the poetry of the Beiling School, this person has a high attainment in the Beiling School, and he was also admitted to the Jinshi in his early years, and he has not been an official in the court. This person's reputation among the northern students is not low, because this is not Jinling City, so we better be careful! ”

Tang Xie explained very carefully.

Originally, the Beijing Poetry Society was just a competition between the Northern Poetry Society, but because the coming year was the year of the meeting, the Beijing Poetry Society became a competition between the northern and southern scholars.

Because the capital is located in the north, the southern students have become away from home, and even the referee Zhu Qian is a northerner, which makes the southern students suffer even more in this competition.

Zhao Yuanqi said: "If it's really unfair, Yongning simply don't participate, such a poetry meeting, even if there are any results, it will not affect the results of the next year's examination." It's better to keep a low profile! ”

Even Zhao Yuanqi stood on Ji Ning's side and spoke.

While he was talking, Zhao Yuanxuan hurriedly ran over and panted and said, "You too, I just went down to say a few words to Rong Gongzi, why did you leave me out?" ”

"Uh...... Let's just come down and take a look at the situation first, aren't you also chasing after you? What a person, not in shape at all! "Zhao Yuanqi has never avoided taboos in front of Ji Ning, and he will not hide his family ugliness when he should scold his sister.

Zhao Yuanxuan glared at his brother, walked up to Ji Ning, and said, "You come with me, I still have some poetry to ask you on the way!" ”

Because the origin of this "Zhao Gongzi" is not simple, even if Tang Xie and the others also want to talk to Ji Ning, they still don't dare to fight.

Zhao Yuanxuan pulled Ji Ning aside and said, "Hey, Ji Ning, let me tell you, you must behave well in this poetry meeting, do you know?" It's best to let the whole city know about you, you are beautiful, then I will have face! ”

"What does my performance have to do with the county lord?" Ji Ning frowned.

"Hey, you're my friend. You've done a good job, of course my face has a glow! Zhao Yuanxuan said.

Ji Ning shook his head, obviously he didn't agree with Zhao Yuanxuan's statement.

On the high platform that was temporarily erected outside the Gongyuan, some young students began to come to the stage, and these people were invited as seed players among the students from the south and the north, and most of them were candidates who performed well in the township examinations in various places that year, either Xie Yuan or Ya Yuan.

After all, Jinling City, as the capital of the Great Yong Dynasty and the core of the Jiangnan Water Town, has always been a place where talents and learning are concentrated in the world.
