In the blink of an eye, in the twilight of spring, Chang'an City appears to be more verdant and prosperous, if you go to the suburbs, this kind of scenery is simply played to the point of incision, which makes people can't help but be moved.

At this time, there are more people going out of the city to play, and even Su Wuming and them have put down the things in their hands to play outside several times, but each time they are not happy, and they are reluctant to give up every time they come back.

And at this time, a holy decree suddenly came out in the palace, asking talented people in the world to gather in Chang'an City to have a talent competition in the world.

As soon as this holy decree came out, the entire capital was in an uproar, and the news quickly spread to every corner of the Tang Dynasty.

And just when those people were full of ambition and excited to prepare for the talent competition, Su Fu, Su Wuming was thinking about the secret behind this matter, he didn't understand, why did Emperor Li Yanwei suddenly issue such a holy decree, what did he want?

Su Wuming thought of many possibilities, for example, the emperor wanted to recruit talents, and for example, the emperor wanted to show the world the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty......

Of course, Su Wuming is not against such a grand event, he has been in Datang for more than a year, and he has long wanted to see Datang Fenghua, and now this is an opportunity.

In the palace, Li Yan sat in the imperial study, and he had only seen one or two of today's concerts, but he couldn't stand it anymore, because when he thought of what was going to happen in Chang'an City next, his heart couldn't help but get excited. He is the emperor, he has seen more of the world than anyone else, but now when he thinks of the scene of all the talented people of the Tang Dynasty gathering in Chang'an City, he can't help but want to be excited.

In fact, this idea was just something he suddenly came up with, he has been the emperor for more than a year, in addition to watching the chapter on weekdays, he is in the court, this period of time, he feels very tired, and suddenly wants to have some fun, but he is a very rational emperor, like the kind of fun of fighting cocks and dogs, and choosing concubines in the world, he won't do it, doing it like this, it will only make his Tang Dynasty collapse faster, and let him have a bad reputation in history.

I want to have fun, but I don't want to leave a bad reputation, and finally he thought of letting the world's talented people gather together for a competition, when he first thought of this idea, it was purely to be able to be lively and lively, to find interesting things, and then discussed with several ministers, these adults are important ministers in the court, after listening to it, they all agreed, and said a lot of reasons for this, although there are many of them, but it sounds extremely useful.

The reasons for these ministers are naturally those reasons that Su Wuming thought of, no matter who listens to these reasons, they all feel that they are not bad at all, although the Tang Dynasty is no longer prosperous, it has not yet reached the point of decline, even if it is a return to the light before the decline, there should be such a glory.

After the decree was issued, the talents from all over the Tang Dynasty poured into Chang'an City, of course, in addition to the talents, many people who wanted to see the excitement also rushed over, and for a time the entire Chang'an City became unprecedentedly lively, and the inn was full of people every day, but the innkeepers were very happy, and they hated not to be such a grand event, every day.

When the talents of the Tang Dynasty flocked to the place, several departments of the imperial court began to study how to carry out the selection, this talent competition, I am afraid that there are not 10,000 but also 8,000, they cannot let these people in, therefore, it is necessary to carry out round after round of selection, and how to select, a charter must be formulated, and furthermore, when to start, it must also be stipulated, where to carry out, etc., these must be stipulated in advance.

There is no shortage of talented people in the DPRK, and this kind of thing has happened many times before, so the formulation of these things was finalized in just a few days, and after it was finalized, the news was immediately passed on, and the talented people who came here again were able to have a preparation.

Su Wuming also paid a lot of attention to such a grand event, so after this news came down, he also knew a little bit about it, and to sum it up, there were a total of the following points:

The first is the type of competition, which is divided into several items, namely poetry, chess, lyrics, and strategy.

In the Tang Dynasty, it is absolutely unreasonable to not be able to compose poems, so this poem has become an entry screening project, at the beginning, everyone wrote a poem, whose poem is good, who will be promoted; Next is chess, in ancient times, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are very popular, among which chess is especially liked by some talents, and chess can best see a person's mind, so the poem is followed by chess, chess is black and white Go, two by two, the winner enters the game, the loser is out, this round of competition has more or less some luck in it, but the relevant personnel of the court did not make corresponding remedies, because in the hearts of these people, they know one thing very well, that is, in this world, luck has always been there, No matter who achieves great things, in addition to his own ability, what he does is indispensable to luck, this kind of thing cannot be avoided, and they do not want to avoid it.

Luck is unavoidable, but the strength can be compared, so in the chess ratio, the first is a duel between two and two, the winner enters the game, you can enter the next round of the competition, but before entering the next round of the competition, all the talents who enter the game can be used for chess competition, the rules are also very simple, that is, the duel between each other, has been eliminated, has been eliminated, until the final winner comes out, such a duel is not good by luck, if you want to win the final victory, you must have strength, and the person who finally wins, The emperor will personally crown him as a chess saint, although this title is a little worse than the first talent of the Tang Dynasty, but in the chess world, it is indeed a rare title.

And the reason why he will fight after entering the game, this is purely the emperor Li Yan's own requirements, like this kind of talent competition, he doesn't want to be divided in a few strokes, so it will be too uninteresting, if he can, he naturally hopes that these games can be longer, and the good fight between chess skills is also extremely interesting, Li Yan is more or less a chess master, in this regard, he naturally wants to see if Datang has a particularly powerful chess player, if there is, it is not an exaggeration to seal him a national player.

After the chess competition, it is the word, the Tang Dynasty is not the world of words, but at this time, almost every poet has more or less written one or two poems, in Chang'an City, there are quite a few people who have experience in words, and because of the circulation of words by Wen Tingyun and Su Wuming and others, Datang's love for words at this time is almost no less than poetry.

And because the words have a strong sense of rhythm and are easier to play and sing than poems, they are the most loved by the people at the bottom.

According to the regulations, each of the talents who enter the chess game writes a word, and those who pass the word can enter the next round of the competition, and among these words, there will be judges to select a few good songs, and hand them over to the music workshop women to compose music, and play and sing at the banquet in the evening of the same day.

After that, it's the last competition, that is, the scheme.

When the time comes, the imperial court will send someone to give questions to all the talents who enter the game, who can answer, who will continue to stay, and if they can't answer, they will be eliminated and left, so that it will not end until there is only one person left in the whole game, and the last person left will be awarded the title of the first genius of the Tang Dynasty by Emperor Li Yan.

These are the competition items, and then there is the competition time, the first poem competition is ten days after these regulations are distributed, after the poetry competition, the judges are given one day to select the person who advances, and the next day the chess competition, that is to say, the poetry competition is held every other day.

The chess competition is more special, so it depends on the specific situation, after the chess competition, you can relax for a day, and the next day for the word competition.

The word comparison is similar to the poetry comparison, giving the judges one day to select, and the next day for the last competition, so the winner will be named the first talent of Datang.

In the past few days before Shibi, the imperial court was going to select six judges, and when Su Wuming saw this, he couldn't help but sneer, it is not fair anywhere, and the number of these judges will only become the target of various factions competing with each other at this time.

Although he was a little disgusted by the behavior of these people, Hanaro didn't think much else, after all, he didn't think about participating, and he didn't have anything to do with those factions, he just hoped that nothing would happen during this big competition.

In addition to the time, there is also the location, because of the large number of people in this competition, so the original poetry and chess competition will be in the suburbs, that place is open, the scenery is beautiful, and the poetry and chess are the most comfortable.

The word ratio is in front of the music square building, the music square building is the place where the imperial court specializes in cultivating singers and dancers, it is very huge, under normal circumstances, people are not allowed to enter casually, the word is compared to the day, only the shortlisted people can enter, but it is not to enter the music square building, but you can enter the music square building, only the last person to advance, then go to the imperial court to hold a dinner party.

The final competition is the most exciting, so there will be a ring in Chang'an City, but all the people who have advanced will sit in the ring to compete, and then the emperor Li Yan will lead hundreds of officials to the scene, and the scene must be very spectacular.

In addition to the location, there is nothing special about the other regulations in the next, for example, if you want to participate in the talent competition, you must register at the Ministry of Rites, and then receive a waist card with your name written on it.
