Chapter 291: New Words
After all the princes arrived, Li Yan walked out surrounded by several eunuchs, and as soon as the emperor came out, everyone knelt down, Li Yan waved his hand and said flat, and everyone sat down again.
After everyone sat down, Li Yan glanced at it, and then said: "You are all my Tang Yingjie, from all over the world, and it is fate to be able to gather today, you are not welcome." ”
After Li Yan said this, everyone said yes again and again, and when everyone said yes, they were also thinking about the meaning of Li Yan's words, everyone is not stupid, they know very well that if they want to survive in the officialdom, they must always figure out the holy will, for example, what Li Yan just said seems to be unremarkable, but if you study carefully, it is not difficult to find that Li Yan said this sentence to want everyone to understand that these people are all talents, they are Tang Dynasty heroes, if they are willing to attach themselves to the emperor, the future of these people is unlimited, and besides, everyone is from all over the worldIt's not easy to get together, who gave this kind of event? It's his emperor Li Yan, if it weren't for the Talent Competition, I'm afraid that now no one knows who is who.
After everyone understood the emperor's words, several representatives stood up to express their respect for the emperor, and the emperor Li Yan bowed slightly, and then ordered the singer and the dancing girl to come to help.
These singers and dancers are all raised by the imperial court, and they are all first-class in terms of appearance and art, so whether it is their singing or dancing, everyone is fascinated by them and cannot extricate themselves.
These singers first played and sang the words of those who were better at writing lyrics in the word ratio, and then stood in the middle of the hall, waiting for the emperor's orders.
After Li Yan listened, he said to everyone: "Although the words of your talented people are good, after all, they are too arrogant, and they are faintly sad, why don't you recommend a few more people to come out and make a few songs about the wind and the moon, and let these singers play and sing, how about it?" ”
With the emperor here, everyone's hearts are pounding, this sentence is an opportunity for everyone, but if this opportunity is not grasped well, the outcome can be imagined, therefore, those who are not good at Fengyue words are all cowering, and those who are good at Fengyue words are hesitating.
But Emperor Li Yan's words have already been said, if no one comes out, I am afraid that everyone will be punished, so Yuan Zhongwen was the first to stand up, he is the son of Yuan Zhen, chanting Fengyue is his specialty, he is very confident in his own talent, because it is a nostalgic word when the word is compared, so he feels that his words are lost to Su Wuming and is very unconvinced, this time he wants to chant Fengyue, how can he miss the opportunity?
He felt that he couldn't slip the opportunity away this time, in addition to not letting the opportunity slip away, he also wanted to defeat Su Wuming, so after Yuan Zhongwen stood up, he hurriedly said: "Master Su is a talent, and he is even better in words, why don't Lord Su also sing a song?" ”
Now that he has been named, if Su Wuming refuses, it will be a little too much, so after smiling slightly, he stood up, and after Su Wuming got up, a few other people stood up, that Gao Chen and Ma Dai were about to get up, but when they thought about it, they were not good at Fengyue words, if they did it badly, they would give the emperor a bad impression, but they were afraid that their affairs would have no chance at all, so they only threw expectant glances at Su Wuming.
But for the eyes of Gao Chen and Ma Dai, Su Wuming had no way at all.
After treating people almost, Li Yan ordered someone to compose lyrics, and the theme is not limited, as long as it is sad and sad, this is undoubtedly a lot easier for those who write lyrics, everyone only needs to write a poem that they are good at.
After the time of half a pillar of incense, Yuan Zhongwen wrote a poem, he is a son of a rich family, and he has naturally been in the Fengyue place for a long time, so his words can be described as strong and beautiful, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a beautiful word.
And in this banquet today, what everyone wants to hear is this kind of wind and moon words.
And after Yuan Zhongwen did it, everyone else also wrote out their own words, and these people's words were also good, which was very much in line with the tone of tonight, but Su Wuming at this time did not write for a long time.
Seeing this, Li Yan was slightly stunned, and then asked, "Su Aiqing, why haven't you started writing yet?" Li Yan has high hopes for Su Wuming, and naturally hopes that Su Wuming will shine in this competition, because only in this way can he give Su Wuming an official and let Su Wuming assist him.
Of course, Su Wuming didn't know Li Yan's thoughts at this time, and the reason why he didn't start writing for a long time was because he was thinking about how to help Gao Chen and Ma Dai, but he thought about it again and again, but there was really no way to express it from the words, and when Li Yan asked, Su Wuming repeatedly said that it would be fine immediately, and then lifted the brush, and a word was swayed.
After the words were written, a eunuch chanted them in public, and the words were as follows:
Who is idle for a long time? Every time spring comes, the melancholy is still there. I often get sick and drink before I spend every day, and I don't want to be thin in the mirror.
The willows on the riverside green embankment, in order to ask new sorrows, what is there every year? The independent small bridge is full of sleeves, and the Hirabayashi Crescent people are behind.
The whole poem is written in a sad word, which seems to have nothing to do with Fengyue, but it makes people unable to find fault, because Fengyue is sometimes sad, lovesick and sad, parting sorrow.
As soon as this poem came out, other people's words suddenly overshadowed a lot, and when this poem heard Li Yan's ears, there was another feeling, at this time, Li Yan, although he was not worried about idleness, but he was really sad.
In this way, this poem can be regarded as written in Li Yan's heart, but Li Yan did not express anything, and after bowing his head slightly, he Ming Song Ji played and sang, and the dinner party had only started for a short time, but as the emperor, it was impossible to eat with so many people, and before those singers played and sang, Li Yan got up and went back to the palace.
As soon as the emperor left, the dinner suddenly became more relaxed, and those talented people began to talk again, and those princes glanced at each other, and then they also got up and left, how noble their identities are, even if the people here are all talents, I am afraid that they are not willing to eat with these people.
After those princes left, the whole banquet became even more relaxed, and basically became a special venue for those dozens of talents, everyone discussed poetry with each other, enjoyed the singers and dancers, and ate delicious food, so happy.
Among these happy people, there were two people who were worried, Gao Chen and Ma Dai's hopes were dashed, and Su Wuming couldn't help the two of them.
The two of them took the opportunity to talk to each other and came to Su Wuming, and asked in a low voice, "Master Su, what should I do?" ”
These two people can also be said to be the leaders in the Tang Dynasty, but it is just a matter of their own bodies, so they can't open up a little, Su Wuming showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Don't worry, you two, after the talent competition is over, I will help you solve this matter." ”
Seeing that Su Wuming was so sure, the two felt a little relieved, and at this time, Su Wuming got up to say goodbye and left the music shop in a hurry.
It wasn't until he left the music room and came outside that Su Wuming found that there was a light rain in the sky, the night was a little heavy, and the light rain hit his face cold, Su Wuming looked up and saw Tang Xiong waiting outside with an umbrella, Su Wuming waved his hand to Tang Xiong, and then walked towards him.
"Why are you here?"
"It's raining, I'll send an umbrella to Brother Su."
Su Wuming smiled, he didn't think that Tang Xiong would be careful enough to give him an umbrella, it must have been Wen Wan'er's explanation, Su Wuming didn't care, after taking the umbrella, he rushed home with Tang Xiong.
However, after returning home, Su Wuming did not go back to the bedroom, but went to the study first, because he wanted to meet someone tonight, a very important person.
After the eldest brother had a stick of incense, Hu Fei came, and he was ordered by Su Wuming to investigate the matter, and today finally had the result.
"The grain and grass sent to the border pass have been detained, can it be investigated?"
This kind of official matter, like Hu Fei, is impossible to investigate clearly, but there are some things that he can investigate, and those things, others are not impossible to speculate.
"We found out that when the grain and grass came out of the household department, there were still enough of them, but when they went to Lutong County, the team transporting the grain and grass stayed there for an extra day, and when they set off again, the grain and grass were mostly gone."
After listening to Hu Fei's words, Su Wuming pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What is the name of the county order of Lutong County?" ”
"Zhang Yi."
"Do you know that he is close to that court official or that prince?"
"This has not been investigated for the time being, but he is very close to the household official who escorted the grain and grass, and the official who escorted the grain and grass is called Zhao Fei, who is a close confidant of Chai Qi, the secretary of the household department, and wants to detain the grain and grass, it should be Chai Qi's meaning."
Hu Fei's speculation should be not wrong, but Su Wuming thinks more deeply than Hu Fei, he has dealt with this Chai Qi, he knows that Chai Qi, although he is a little domineering, and greedy for money, but like the grain and grass transported to the border, he has not been so bold to withhold it, as long as this matter is known by the emperor, this Chai Qi will not be able to get rid of suspicion, even if he is innocent, this crime of dereliction of duty is enough to kill him.
But most of the grain and grass were detained, if Chai Qihao didn't know, it would be unreasonable, that is to say, behind Chai Qi, there are still people, and this person's power is very huge, huge beyond Su Wuming's imagination, because according to Su Wuming's knowledge, the generals of the border pass sent many people to the capital to report the situation at the border pass, but they were taken down, and they were able to report the border pass to the person who pressed it down, and it can be imagined how powerful this person is.
In the entire Tang Dynasty, there are not many people who can buy Chai Qi, the head of the household department, suppress the border emergency report, and dare to deduct most of the grain and grass, and even say that there are none, because of these things, he can't believe that anyone dares to do it.
