Chapter 737: The Assembly Begins
Shishi was very moved after hearing this, but she shook her head.
She knew Bai Gongzi's recent actions in the capital, and knew that Bai Gongzi had done several big things.
But she also has her own choices, if she just goes to that association, she prefers to stay in the existing world.
Although this environment will make her cry and there will be some intrigues, she is more stable.
"Thank you for your kindness, but Shishi still stays here, Shishi grew up here, and this is Shishi's home."
Bai Song nodded, after all, every woman has the right to choose.
"Childe, come today, is there something wrong?"
"Have you heard anything about that poetry conference?"
Shishi smiled and pointed outside: "Now that it's spreading everywhere, how can Shishi not know?" β
"If you want to sing at the poetry conference, are you interested?"
"Singing?" Shishi didn't expect it.
"There will be some programs at the poetry conference, and there will be a lot of attention at that time, if the poetry can be sung on it, it will not only add luster to the conference, but also be very helpful to your fame."
Shishi was stunned, now she has already passed the most glorious time, and if she wants to perform at the conference that the whole city is concerned about, there are many suitable candidates for Chang'an Hualou than herself.
Now Bai Gongzi has chosen himself, of course, he is the most self-caregiver.
But is it good for me to get used to the peace I have, and to make a name for myself?
Or do you still enjoy being sought-after?
Shishi set her eyes on Bai Song and nodded slightly.
As long as Bai Gongzi proposes it, she shouldn't hesitate.
β¦β¦
The new building was opened, and the conference was as scheduled.
The grand scene in Chang'an City is unprecedented, and the lively scene surpasses the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival in previous years.
On the periphery of the imperial city, in the north of Chang'an, an old abandoned poor area near the West Market has been renewed.
Rows of double-storey squares are arranged in a regular manner, and all kinds of greenery and vegetation have been carefully trimmed.
A temporary stage was set up on the superstar square built in the community.
The first Datang Poetry Appreciation Conference is about to begin.
After several days of discussions, countless literati gathered to look forward to a good performance at the conference.
There are hundreds of literati talents, and more people want to come and see the excitement.
By noon, the interior of the community was already surrounded by water.
In the past, poetry meetings were all about the great literati entertaining themselves behind closed doors, but how can there be such a time today when the door is open for everyone to see.
The people were very curious and wanted to know what kind of activities the literati were playing on weekdays.
Some dignitaries were also very curious, and they didn't know what the emperor's purpose was in holding this conference?
But as long as you enter the community and see this kind of novel structure house with your own eyes, you can't help but look at it more and ask more, and gradually arouse your interest.
At this most lively time, Bai Song did not go to fight, and honestly stayed in his own palace and looked at how the construction of his son's palace was progressing?
Today, Xiang'er is at home with her, and the princess was summoned by the queen mother, saying that she was going to see the scene of the poetry conference together.
Sangsang and Xiao Bai'an followed.
Bai Song rarely had time to spend with Xian Xiang'er.
Xiang'er was a little strange, sat next to Bai Song and asked, "Xianggong, why don't you go and have a look?" It took a lot of effort for you to come up with that poetry conference. β
Bai Song waved his hand: "It's nothing good-looking, it's just a show, how can my Xiang'er look good?" β
Xiang'er's face was red: "Xianggong is so adult, and he is still so flamboyant." β
"It's called a feeling."
"I can't argue with you."
Bai Song looked at Xiang'er, gently ruffled her hair, and then hugged her in his arms.
"I don't know how long it's been like this."
"yes......"
Both of them were a little emotional, looking at the sky and enjoying a rare tranquility.
β¦β¦
At the conference venue, there were many big people who came.
Three provinces and six ministries, large and small, all dressed in civilian clothes, mingled in the crowd and waited for the conference to begin.
A huge banner hung on the stage detailing the rules of the competition.
The conference is divided into auditions, preliminary rounds, semi-finals, promotion rounds, and finals.
And what will be held today is the audition of this competition.
The rules of the competition are very simple, but all the contestants who sign up walk on the stage, regardless of the poems and songs, choose their most proud works to recite in public.
The five judges on the scene will hold up the cards, and if four of them feel that they have passed, they will be able to enter the next round.
On the small building on the second floor opposite the stage, the queen mother stood on the balcony, with the best viewing position.
After seeing the rules of the banner, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly: "This rule is also peculiar, this palace has never seen it." Why do you have so many strange things? β
Beside the queen mother, Li Xiangnan stood upright, and returned with a smile: "After returning to the mother, the concubine does have many strange ideas, but he is honest and honest, and there is nothing deviant. β
"You girl, the queen mother doesn't have any intention of blaming, you are so anxious to defend him? The palace saw that he was messing around this time, not to mention the loss of money and labor, and the court had to give him a top, which was clearly nonsense. β
"Does the queen mother dislike these houses?"
The queen touched the cement wall behind her: "It's good to look at, but I spent so much silver to go out, and I don't know if I can take it back." β
"Absolutely." Li Xiangnan replied firmly.
"As long as you are so deceived, he will believe whatever he says. It's good to be able to take back the silver, but if you can't get it back, you don't need your father, and the palace won't spare him. β
As he spoke, there was a commotion below.
It turned out that five judges appeared.
Without exception, the judges are carefully selected and have a high reputation among the people.
When selecting these great Confucians, Bai Song learned about various channels through his friends, and found that there were no famous Confucian masters who were really respected among the people.
Among several people, the only one who has an impression is Monk Zhiyong.
This year, Monk Zhiyong is 90 years old.
One of the remaining three is a private school gentleman who can be compared with Yu Lao, who has been teaching for 50 years, has thousands of protΓ©gΓ©s, and is taught without class, whether it is a scholar or a poor family, he is equally treated, and is deeply loved by the people.
The remaining two are the old family owners of the Chang'an Wang family, who were extremely prosperous scholarly families in the previous dynasty, and everyone in Chang'an also knew about them.
As for the last Yu season, his appearance was a bit of a surprise.
Seeing the five judges, everyone talked about it, and said that although Yu Ji is popular, he is always a young man, how can he sit side by side with four real old-timers?
There was discontent in the crowd, and gradually some people expressed doubts.
