On the evening of the twenty-second day of the first lunar month, for the scholars in Guancheng, tonight is more lively than the day of the New Year.

This annual poetry conference is a popular event for Yunjing readers, and not only that, but Jianghu Monthly will also set aside several pages to record this event.

The scholars of the Kirin Academy, the guests of various families, and the clerks of the Zhongshu Province all picked up lanterns as soon as the sun set and came to participate in this poetry conference.

On the twenty-seventh floor of the Star Picking Pavilion, the first eighteen floors have gathered a lot of readers, while the back nine floors are completely different.

The first eighteen floors are the places where the majority of readers meet friends with texts and write poems with each other, and the next nine floors are the nine floors where the ring is opened.

The contest between literati and literati was different from the contest between practitioners in that the contest of talent was the direct improvisation of poetry.

In this cloud empire where literature is elegant and martial arts is prestige, both civil and military are naturally everyone's aspirations.

However, the vast majority of scholars can't achieve both civil and military skills, so they can only show their talents in this Star Picking Pavilion.

The so-called talent is the background of literature and the quick wisdom of choosing words and sentences.

Among these literati, the competition is based on this improvisational play, and improvisational poetry can best reflect the literati's skills.

Of course, this competition is still based on mutual appreciation, and these scholars understand the real background of everyone.

Before stepping into the Star Picking Tower, you need to draw the floor you want to go to at the door, Yang Ming and Yiyue are full of fate, and they both drew to the eighteenth floor.

"Waiter of the Ministry of Rites! Chen Hao and Chen Waiter are here!"

"Liu Wenye, Liu Shilang has arrived!"

The first to come to the eighteenth floor of this Star Pavilion were two waiters, this Chen waiter was naturally called by Chen Yueru, and his sister hosted this poetry conference, and when he was the eldest brother, he naturally wanted to come to cheer up.

And this servant of the ministry is rarely seen, because the official department is busy with official business, so this Liu waiter is busy with official business on weekdays.

Liu Wenye, the servant of the ministry, is the brother of Liu Ruyu of the Yuelai Inn in Yongzhou Mansion, and the two brothers and sisters are not only talented, but also brilliant.

This Liu Wenye Liu Shilang lives in a shallow way on weekdays, but his support club in Yunjing is very large, as soon as he heard that he had the opportunity to meet this Liu Shilang, those young girls came to the Star Picking Pavilion early.

Although this Liu Shilang is nearly thirty years old, but because he is busy with his career, he has never been married, and these young girls are all dreaming of tying the knot with Liu Shilang.

"Brother Ye! Look here!

This Liu Shilang and Chen Shilang appeared together, and these girls couldn't hold back the joy in their hearts, and directly cheered and screamed.

Although this Chen Shilang already has a family background, he is still the dream lover of many young girls.

"Brother Liu's charm is undiminished, and it is really enviable that he can get so much support all day long. ”

"Brother Chen's words are wrong, and there is also your support in this crowd. ”

Liu Wenye's peach blossom eyes swept over the cheering crowd, and he saw many noble ladies looking at Chen Shilang with affection, and Chen Shilang coughed lightly twice, expressing embarrassment.

"You and I should hurry into the pavilion, and the province will make this place too congested. ”

"What Brother Chen said is extremely true, please!"

Liu Wenye politely made a gesture of invitation to Chen Hao, this Chen Hao is a few years older than him, although the two are both waiters, but the number of etiquette is naturally fulfilled.

After Liu Shilang and Chen Shilang entered the cabinet, the famous scholars of the Qilin Academy also entered the cabinet one after another, and they followed behind the two waiters, and also won the attention of a wave of girls.

"The official is still the book, Chu Yunfei and Lord Chu have arrived!"

"The Ministry of Rites is still here! Lord Jin Haishan Jin has arrived!"

"Scholar of the castle tower! Scholar Wang Incheon has arrived!"

"Scholar of the castle tower!

With the appearance of the four heavyweight bosses, it was not only those girls who were cheering, but also those scholars who cheered for these four people.

Among these people, whether they are Lord Chu or Lord Jin, they are all from poor families, and they have become a generation of bigwigs through their unremitting efforts!

Lord Chu was originally a scattered scholar, and he failed to win fame three times in the small examination, but as a result, Taoguang was obscure for a year, and he won the flower in the big exam!

Then he started to work in the ministry, and it took him 20 years to finally become the secretary of the ministry.

And although this Jin Haishan Jin is a member of the Jin family in Yuezhou Mansion under the river, he has studied hard for more than ten years and has become the most promising scholar of the Jin family in Yuezhou Mansion.

This Lord Jin and Lord Chu are the two outstanding talents in the same period of the big examination, when Lord Chu won the position of Tanhua, and Lord Jin won the position of the top spot.

Yang Ming came to the eighteenth floor of the Star Picking Building early, and it was very interesting to listen to Yiyue and Chen Yueru tell him about the wonderful experiences of these people.

"Who was the champion that year?"

"The champion of the year was the proud protégé of the scholar of the Qi University of the Castle Tower, and now he is the Taishou of the Qiongzhou Mansion in South Vietnam. ”

Yang Ming nodded, and found that these champions seemed to have few developments in Yunjing.

Lin Ruo's father Lin Xiao also returned to Yongzhou Mansion after winning the champion, and the protégé of the Qi University Scholar also chose to return to South Vietnam after winning the champion.

It seems that the name of champion is too loud in Yunjing, so that daily life has become a little inconvenient.

That's why they decided to leave Yunjing and go back to their hometown to develop.

"The champions of the imperial examination in the past dynasties, unless they enter the castle tower, will be very troubled. ”

"The three great champions of the castle tower, those are all the champions of the year!"

"After these three great battles, almost all the champions will return to their hometowns to serve as the taishou of the local state capital. ”

Chen Yueru explained, which made Yang Ming understand a little.

If you get mixed up in this position at this age, and wait for Yunjing's position to become vacant, it will be no problem to move up from the local area.

After all, the name of this champion is too loud, and in the years since the resumption of the imperial examination, many champions have basically received various forms of harassment in Yunjing.

Fortunately, the protection measures of Yunjing are well done, otherwise there may really be champions who will be chased away by admirers and followers on the streets of Yunjing.

"The champion of the latest palace examination is now the youngest Taishou, do you know Yan Dongdong, the Taishou of Jiangzhou?"

Yang Ming thought about it, he had heard of this Jiangzhou, it seemed to be the place where Lao Lu and they went a few days ago.

Speaking of which, Lao Lu has been gone for more than ten days, and there is no news at all, no matter whether the matter is successful or not, it is better to send a message back.

"Speaking of Jiangzhou, the East China Sea has been a little uneven recently, it seems that not only Jiangzhou Mansion was captured by traitors, but also Sun Xiu, the major general of Zhongzhou Mu, also died at the hands of traitors. ”

"This Yan Taishou was forced to evacuate Jiangzhou Mansion and retreat to Luojia Mountain. ”

Chen Yueru's words shocked Yang Ming.

No one told him about such a beating!

"Then do you know how Lao Lu is?"

Yang Ming asked eagerly, although this old Lu is lazy and greedy on weekdays, but the bad news of Jiangzhou Mansion still makes Lu Cheng a little worried about him.

Even the young general of Zhongzhou Mu was unfortunately suffering, even if this old land has the ability to reach the sky, it still makes people a little uneasy.

"You mean Lu Chengqincha? It seems that Lu Qincha is fine, and the letter from the Jiangzhou Mansion only reports some casualties. ”

"The incident in Jiangzhou Mansion did cause an uproar a few days ago, but after the arrangement of the Zong family, it seems that it has calmed down. ”

"Lu Qincha should also be fine, the latest news is that Yan Taishou has returned to Jiangzhou Mansion, and everything is normal in Jiangzhou Mansion. ”

Hearing this, Yang Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking about it this way, he has been following Lao Lu out for several months.

He had been busy with his cultivation these days, and he had not seen these companions who had come down the mountain with him.

Hu Yue didn't know what he was doing, I'm afraid Mo Lin was still tinkering with his messy tricks.

Lin Ruo followed Lao Lu to the East China Sea, and he didn't know what was going on now.

This promised Tang Xin to take care of his senior sister, but he didn't take care of anything.

As a result, the senior sister herself ran to the East China Sea with Lao Lu, which made him unable to follow and take care of him......

Later, when I met Yiyue, I didn't have the heart to think about my sister's affairs.

At this time, he suddenly realized that he had been away from Tianheng Mountain for a long time.

"What are you thinking?"

Yiyue asked softly.

"I'm thinking, Tianheng Mountain, Lingnan Town, Jiuyun Temple, and my kitchen courtyard. ”

Yang Ming's eyes rarely showed a look of longing, as if he had read less books before, and he couldn't produce this kind of homesickness at all.

However, he found that after reading a lot, his emotions began to become richer.

At such an age, Yang Ming has actually begun to be able to appreciate the meaning of his hometown.

"Homesick, if you have time, I can accompany you back to Tianheng Mountain to have a look. ”

Yiyue took Yang Ming's hand, and the warm palm gave Yang Ming a strange touch.

"Then I'll have to wait for some time...... This time I came out of the castle tower, and I didn't even go to see Sako......"

As soon as Yang Ming finished speaking, he heard a shout from downstairs.

"Be the imperial master! Lin Luan Lin Taishi has arrived!"

"Yongzhou Mansion Songhe Tower, Zuo Gongquan Zuo Shopkeeper has arrived!"

After this Zuo Gong retired from the position of king of cooks, he became the left shopkeeper of Songhe Tower.

As soon as he heard that Zuo Gong was coming, Yang Ming hurriedly looked down from upstairs.

Lin Laozu and Zuo Gong came side by side, talking and laughing along the way.

What surprised Yang Ming was that the eldest prince did not come, probably because there was something important to delay.

The Taishi came, the older generation is here, and the poetry conference is almost time to start.

Chen Yueru stood on a small platform on the eighteenth floor, a smile spread across her face, and said in a very formal tone:

"The heroes and sages gather, the stars hold the moon, the auspicious time has come! The Poetry Conference of the Star Picking Tower is now officially opened!"

Chen Yueru's voice directly echoed in the first eighteen floors of the Star Picking Tower through the sound transmission array.

The effect of this sound transmission circle is extremely good, and even the audience outside the Star Picking Tower can hear it clearly.

After the official start of the poetry conference, starting from the first floor, the scholars on each floor began to greet each other, and the exam questions on each floor were different.

After Chen Yueru announced the start of the conference, the scrolls that had been hung up on the roof of each floor were opened one by one, and the titles of this floor were written in beautiful penmanship.

"The pen and ink of this topic must be from Miss Chen's hand, but there is a kind of connotation in such a beautiful brushwork, which is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to write!"

A scholar said, and then walked directly to the stage and composed an impromptu poem on this topic.

This is the case in this competition, if anyone has inspiration, they will stand directly in front of the stage, and chant their impromptu poems directly, if it is a good poem, some people will applaud, if it is not good, there will be many people who applaud.

On dancing and writing, readers are indeed experts, and when it comes to criticism, readers are also experts.

As a result, the readers on all floors heard the bustling sound of poetry, and of course, the cheers and inverted colors were also one after another.

On the eighteenth floor, the floor where Yang Ming and the others were, Chen Yueru wrote the title "Ascending the Tower".

The scholars on the eighteenth floor are not very familiar with Yang Ming, but Yiyue knows a few people, most of these people are guests from various families, and they don't like to communicate with people very much on weekdays.

So, when I look at it this way, I feel a little raw.

A scholar with a not very good face came to the stage, coughed lightly and said:

"Climb the tower to look at the end of the world, there is no hometown at the end of the world. Hometown thinks of Fangcao, who is the grass. ”

This scholar's poem has a bit of meaning, but it lacks a bit of charm.

"It's funny, but it's a bit confusing. ”

An old student commented, shook his head, the scholar knew that this poem was a bit superficial, so he arched his hand and stepped off the stage.

Many people took the stage to recite their impromptu poems, but the results were not satisfactory.

"Yang Ming, are you inspired?"

Yiyue asked, Yang Ming was a little stunned.

The only thing he can remember about climbing the tower is the scene when he first climbed the Songhe Tower.

He felt that what was hidden in the Songhe Tower was the regret of Zuo Gong's life.

Although he untied Zuo Gong's heart knot, Zuo Gong's middle-aged pain of losing a child can never be unsolved.

The war in the north lasted for 30 years, and countless people died on the battlefield of the horse leather shroud.

What kind of mood should Zuo Gong have been in when he climbed to the top of the Songhe Tower and looked out from the railing over the years?

He tasted this state of mind from Zuo Gong's dishes.

"Spending near a high-rise building hurts the hearts of customers, and it is difficult to climb here. ”

"The spring of Jinjiang comes to heaven and earth, and the floating clouds of Yulei have become ancient and modern. ”

"The iron hooves of the Western Desert will never stop, and the Southern Barbarian Rogues will always invade each other. ”

"Looking forward to parting from each other will eventually be different, and there is no plan to look forward to Yan's return. ”

After Yang Ming's poem was recited, the entire eighteenth floor was silent.

I don't know who muttered:

"Genius of the sky. ”

If you are a person who has experienced that era, you will have a strong resonance with this poem recited by Yang Ming.

The iron hooves of the northern nomads crossed the Qianren Gorge and set foot in the Western Desert Province of the Cloud Empire.

In three weeks, west of Liangzhou Mansion, corpses were everywhere, and horses were wrapped in corpses.

The whole country mourns, and the heroic soul is laid together!

If it weren't for General Huo, one of the three major generals, swinging his sword forward, I'm afraid that Liangzhou Mansion would not be able to save it.

It was a tragic time, and only those who lived through that era could write such a psalm.

"At his age, how could he write such poems with family and country feelings. ”

"If it weren't for the genius of the sky, it would be impossible to be a blockbuster!"

Yang Ming's poems directly shocked all the scholars in the audience, and this poem is more than enough even to be listed in this year's best poetry anthology!

Especially these four sentences, they are simply superb!

"Amazing! You can write such verses!"

Yiyue was very surprised, a few days ago, he was still the same melon who couldn't even remember the verses.

I didn't expect that in just seven or eight days, such a poem could be written.

Despite this, Yiyue saw Yang Ming's expression and felt that something was not quite right.

He was a little distracted, and there seemed to be something more in his eyes.

It's like a kind of enlightenment, and it's like a kind of confusion.

Like mist skimming the starry sky, the stars are wrapped in a veil between the brightness.
