After the emperor's decree was issued, the entire Chang'an City became unprecedentedly lively, and for a time its prosperity was no less than Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.

On the streets of Chang'an City, you can see talented people everywhere learning poetry from each other, under the shade of some inns, there are more people who play chess, playing chess is addictive, among these talents, there must be some chess addiction, so after encountering each other, how can you not have a game of enjoyment?

Moreover, most of these people who like to play chess are very aware of their strength in other aspects, the title of the first talent of the Tang Dynasty is not easy to fight, but this chess saint, they have to fight desperately.

In the past few days, Su Wuming has been wandering around Chang'an City, for no other reason, this kind of grand event, he also wants to join in the fun, to see what kind of talent and ability this Tang genius has.

In the past few days of wandering, Su Wuming also found several talents, one of which is Yuan Zhongwen, the son of Yuan Zhen, Yuan Zhong Wen is very elegant, he used to be famous when he was in Chang'an City, but because he has been suppressed by the reputation of his father Yuan Zhen, so it has not been very obvious, and now before this talent competition, Yuan Zhongwen first passed a poem, this poem is not the upper layer of the artistic conception or style, and it was widely circulated in Chang'an City for a while.

In addition to Yuan Zhongwen, the son of Yuan Zhen, Su Wuming also found a person with high attainments in words, this person's surname is Du Mingqi, although he is a scholar, but he is heroic, and his words are very passionate, which makes people's blood boil.

Moreover, he is a chess master, this person is in his twenties, his temperament is extraordinary, and he seems to be unusually calm at any time, he runs back and forth between the major chess workshops in Chang'an City, and he has no opponents for a while, and his reputation spreads in Chang'an City at once, and the people of the entire Chang'an City faintly know that a chess saint is about to be produced, and his name is Sun Shi.

In fact, among these people, there are many talents, and some are high-profile, like Yuan Zhongwen, Du Qi, and Sun Shi, who like to play first, so that they can more or less attract the attention of those judges.

And some people are relatively low-key, and they don't usually write poems or play chess, they just watch everything that happens in Chang'an City, and collect the news they want to know, so that they can know that they are invincible.

In the blink of an eye, half of the time has passed, and the candidates for the judges have been determined, as Su Wuming expected, in order to be able to get these few judges, the major forces have fought a lot of wars in the court, and after such a debate, among the six judges, Li Dang occupies two, one of them is Li Shen who wrote the poem that is hard, and the other is an eldest grandson Yu, the eldest grandson Yu is in his forties, elegant with a trace of delicateness, he is the descendant of the founding hero Changsun Wuji, his status is extraordinary, and it is reported, his talent is also rare among others in Chang'an City.

Although there are few people with outstanding literary talents among the relatives, there are many erudite and talented people among the people who take refuge in them, so under the competition of Cao Man and other relatives, they still fought for a place, he is a great Confucian in the court, and now the prince's teacher Cheng Xiao, Cheng Xiao can be appointed by the emperor Li Yan as the prince's teacher, his talent must be very comparable, in fact, this Cheng Xiao's literary talent is indeed not comparable to others, now he is fifty years old, he was also very popular in Chang'an City back then, because he was the first champion in their imperial examination, Seeing all the high-spirited things like Chang'an flowers in one day, he also experienced it back then.

In addition to these three, the other three are the most senior civil officials in the DPRK and China, and the three of them are Zhang Duan, Li Rui, and Chen Xin, all of whom are about 60 years old and have been dealing with literature and poetry all their lives.

And when the six judges were determined, there was another trend in Chang'an City, that is, the trend of taking various poems to worship the door, the purpose of which was nothing more than to let the judges remember them.

And the major forces are vying for the first place to strengthen this judge, for the sake of this, these talents will inevitably be the pillars of the country in the end, and if these people are attached to them, then these forces can take this opportunity to expand.

It's not that Emperor Li Yan doesn't know the intentions of these people, but there are many things that the emperor has seen, but he can't stop them.

On this day, Su Wuming and Nangong Yan were wandering on the street again, and now there are new things happening every day in Chang'an City, and the harvest of shopping is definitely more interesting than sitting at home.

And just as Su Wuming and them were wandering on the street, a man on the opposite side walked towards Su Wuming and them while drinking, shouting as he walked: "Brother Su! ”

Su Wuming glanced up, and saw that it was Wen Tingyun, Wen Tingyun looked strange and ugly, and was very conspicuous in the crowd, after many talented people saw it, they all looked sideways, Wen Tingyun didn't care, just walked straight to Su Wuming, after the two sides met, Su Wuming smiled and said: "Brother Wen is very talented, he should go to the Ministry of Rites to get a waist card." ”

Su Wuming's meaning is very clear, a talented person like Wen Tingyun should take this opportunity to make a name for himself, so that he can have the opportunity to enter the court as an official, and when he becomes an official, he will naturally not borrow wine to drown his sorrows like this and play the world.

But what Su Wuming didn't expect was that Wen Tingyun was quite disdainful of this, and said: "I am a talented man, why should the emperor personally seal it?" ”

In the face of Wen Tingyun's words, Su Wuming didn't want to say anything else, but like Wen Tingyun's temperament of not admiring the powerful, Su Wuming sincerely admired it, at least he couldn't do it.

Seeing that his suggestion didn't work on Wen Tingyun's side, Su Wuming had no choice but to change the topic to other aspects and asked, "Brother Wen is going to that gentle township to have a happy life again?" ”

Wen Tingyun grinned and said, "No, I'm looking for you this time." ”

Su Wuming was taken aback, this Wen Tingyun was in the rouge pile all day long, even if the two of them were in Chang'an, they had nothing to do with each other, today he came to find himself, there must be something, but Su Wuming really couldn't think of what he could do to find himself.

"Brother Wen is looking for him, I don't know what is going on?"

Wen Tingyun rubbed his hands and said: "Today in the Wanhualou on the street of Fireworks Lane, there is going to be a chess competition, and the merry talents from all over the world have to go to play, I heard that who can achieve the final victory, and can also have a dinner with the Xiangxiang girl in the Wanhualou, don't you know, this Xiangxiang girl, whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, that is proficient in everything, can be the man she fancies, so far, she can be said to be our first prostitute in Chang'an City, my Wen Tingyun talent is unmatched, but it is also difficult to enter her eyes, This is the only chance I can have dinner with her, and I will never let it go, I came to you just to let you go with me. ”

After hearing Wen Tingyun say these words, Nangong Yan's face was a little ugly, while Su Wuming looked embarrassed, this Wen Tingyun's emotional intelligence is really problematic, his two wives are by his side, but he wants to follow him to the Qinglou by himself, no matter which man he is, he is afraid that he will not be stupid enough to agree.

Therefore, even if Su Wuming was very interested in the fragrant girl who was praised to the sky by Wen Tingyun, he could only refuse Wen Tingyun's invitation with righteous words.

But just when Su Wuming was about to open his mouth to refuse, Wen Wan'er, who was standing on the side, suddenly smiled and said: "It turns out that there is such a woman in the world who can make Wen Dacai tempting, in this case, Xianggong, why don't we also go to Wanhualou?" ”

Wen Wan'er's words surprised everyone, especially Nangong Yan, she pulled Wen Wan'er's sleeve and said softly: "Sister, no, women in that kind of place are especially good at seducing men, if Xianggong follows this warm ghost, I am afraid that he will be taken bad." ”

Although Nangong Yan's voice was soft, everyone heard it, and when Su Wuming heard the word Wen Se Ghost, he smiled heartily, this name really matched Wen Tingyun.

Wen Tingyun was not angry, as if being considered a pervert was a compliment to him.

Wen Wan'er smiled indifferently and whispered in Nangong Yan's ear, after Nangong Yan listened, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and then she glared at Su Wuming, and then nodded.

What Wen Wan'er said, Su Wuming and Wen Tingyun didn't hear it, but seeing Nangong Yan change her mind, Su Wuming knew that it must not be a good thing, Su Wuming couldn't know more about Wen Wan'er, this lady, although she was soft and gentle on the outside, but in fact, she had more ghost ideas in her heart than anyone else, if it weren't for Su Wuming being a person who had crossed over and knew more than her, Su Wuming really had some doubts about whether anyone in this world could surrender her.

Su Wuming had no bad omens, so he looked at Nangong Yan and said with a smile: "Miss Nangong, what did Wan'er tell you?" Su Wuming looked like a dog with a dead face at this time, while Nangong Yan snorted coldly: "I won't tell you." ”

At this time, Wen Wan'er glanced at Wen Tingyun and said, "Wen Caizi, I don't know when the chess competition in Wanhualou will start?" ”

"I'm afraid it's already started, since my younger brother and sister agree that Su Wuming will go to Wanhualou, then let's go first, and the two younger brothers and sisters will talk slowly!" Going to a place like Qinglou is naturally for men, so Wen Tingyun didn't think that Wen Wan'er and Nangong Yan would go back, but he didn't think about it, but Su Wuming thought of it, and his two ladies couldn't be looked at with the eyes of ordinary people.

And as expected, as soon as Wen Tingyun finished saying that, Wen Wan'er smiled and said: "Don't worry, since it has already started, then there is no need to worry, after the two sisters change into men's clothes, we will go with you, how about it?" ”

Wen Tingyun's face was very ugly, so he turned his head to look at Su Wuming, but Su Wuming behaved very calmly, shrugged his shoulders and said that he was helpless, his two wives were much more powerful than him.
