Tianxiang Pavilion, the room of the poetry girl.

Yu Ji sat opposite Bai Song.

The poetry girl sang outside, and the guests were endless.

The poet girl sang two tunes in the audition, and was remembered by the world again, and now the limelight has overshadowed the new Oiran of Tianxiang Pavilion. An oiran like her, who has been forgotten but remembered again, is almost unprecedented in Chang'an City. ”

Yu Ji took a sip of tea and explained to Bai Song seriously.

Bai Song didn't know anything about the poetry conference, he thought that the poems would be remembered, but he didn't expect that just singing two songs over there could make the poems popular to such an extent.

At this time of the day, the East Market is crowded with people, even if you are standing outside, you have to listen to the poems and sing a few words.

I heard that among the literati, the poet girl has been ranked in the position of the first Oiran in Chang'an City, and can even be recorded in the annals of history, compared with the beauties who were all the rage in the wild history of all dynasties.

All men love vanity.

The poem has experienced a burst of popularity to being forgotten, and then being remembered again.

She cherishes everything now, so she is much more diligent than before, except for not meeting customers in private, as long as there is a need, whether it is singing, dancing, playing and chatting, she will not refuse.

As a result, Tianxiang Pavilion ushered in an unprecedented popularity.

Shishi's popularity has long surpassed that of last year, when she was the most popular.

If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Bai Song wouldn't have believed it.

These are the things he has forgotten.

For a period of time, I hid at home, doing nothing, and waited for the palace to enter the East Palace to teach after the palace exam.

Now when I go out, I feel like the world has changed.

Shishi is a very good and beautiful girl, but to say that she can be touted to such a height.

Bai Song felt that it was too much.

After listening to Yu Ji's description, Bai Song asked tentatively: "Don't you think that the poetry conference we have is a little wrong?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Do you think with just two songs, Shishi can return to where she is now?"

Yu Ji was even more puzzled.

Bai Song said bluntly: "I don't think the poems are worthy of their current position, at least because they only sang two songs at the poetry conference." ”

Yu Ji was a little surprised, he knew the unclear relationship between Bai Song and the poetry girl, how could he think that he could hear the poetry girl from Bai Song's mouth?

"Everyone has his own destiny, maybe this is the will of God, and the will of God will bring the poet girl back to the top."

"What about you? How have you been? Bai Song asked instead.

Yu Ji was a little uneasy, and actually blushed a little, and said four words: "Virtue is not worthy." ”

"Be specific."

"At the time of the audition, remembering that Brother Bai said that he wanted to be more in the limelight, he risked the world's condemnation several times to collide with the two great Confucians, had some arguments, and luckily won the support of some literati. also used a certain contestant's words as an opportunity to choose two lyrics written by Brother Bai for publication, which caused some sensation. Recently, I've been famous, and I've had countless prayers every day, but none of them are my own, and I'm feeling cramped and uneasy, and I don't dare to take all the posts. ”

Bai Song frowned slightly: "Do you feel that someone is behind it?" ”

"Fueling the fire?"

"You don't know, I was just summoned to the palace, because of the poetry conference, the emperor pointed at my nose and counted me down."

"What? And this kind of thing? Didn't the emperor support us? ”

"Now the situation has changed, and the poetry conference is too much of the limelight, and the upcoming palace examination has been suppressed. Now the emperor is very dissatisfied, and wants to let the popularity of the poetry conference go down, so that the attention of the people in the world is on the imperial examination. I thought it was just a show at first, it was going to make some buzz, but it wasn't going to last long. Looking at it now, everything has exceeded my estimates, and public opinion is out of control. I don't believe it's natural, I feel like there's someone pushing behind it. But I haven't paid much attention to it, a lot of things are not clear, I would like to ask you if you have found any doubtful details? ”

After listening to what Bai Song said, Yu Ji understood what he meant.

"What does Brother Bai mean...... Someone used the poetry conference to oppose the emperor's implementation of the imperial examination? ”

Bai Song nodded, and frowned again: "This time it's my problem, now that I think about it, I feel like I've been used as a gun." ”

People make mistakes, and it's the same as being a traverser.

This was Bai Song's unintentional mistake, but it brought a lot of trouble.

The open and secret struggle between the Hanmen and the Shi clan continued, but it was very obscure.

Bai Song's identity changed, and he gradually forgot his first impression when he first arrived in this world.

"I think there's something strange about you saying that."

"For example?"

"Master Zhiyong, how could this master, who has long been detached from the world, come to our poetry conference? When I heard that he was going to be invited, I thought it was impossible. But the result was that the old man arrived, and he did not shirk it at all, and was very supportive. ”

Yu Ji thought for a while and said: "There is also the old man of the Qin family who has pursued the golden mean all his life, emphasizing stability, dealing with people without flaws, and being a good man." In the process of audition, the old man frequently made radical remarks and comments, which was also the main opportunity for me to conflict with several judges. At that time, I wondered why these great Confucian masters were so reckless, and there were obviously many loopholes in their words, as if they were waiting for me to argue and refute. ”

Bai Song's expression became more serious: "In this way, we were in the sleeve from the beginning. ”

"Who do you think is behind it?"

"Princess Danyang!" Bai Song said categorically.

Except for Princess Danyang, Bai Song couldn't think of a person who was so energetic and had this direct contradiction with himself.

"Could it be someone else? Princess Danyang just doesn't want you to go to the East Palace, she wants to ruin your reputation, she can't influence the emperor to carry out the imperial examination, this risk is too big. ”

Bai Song thought about it, it seemed to be the same reason.

The whole thing is not aimed at the White Song Dynasty, but at the system of the imperial examination.

"I heard my grandfather say that although there are different factions in the court and different positions with each other, in the matter of the imperial examination, the major factions are surprisingly consistent, and no one wants to see the implementation of the imperial examination. But all the officials elected by the imperial examination, none of them have been reused so far, and the emperor issued a condition that you use the name of the top three to enter the East Palace, not only to set up obstacles for you, but to set an example for the people of the world, and those who become officials through the imperial examination will be the prince's close ministers, and the most important person in the court in the future. ”

When Bai Song heard this, he was immediately enlightened.

He never thought there was such a layer of meaning in it.

I still didn't understand before, it will be a marriage contract soon, why bother so much to fix these problems for yourself.

It turns out that the emperor is here to play with his own hand and throw himself out to block bullets!

Now that he thinks about it, there are too many people who want to stop him from going to the East Palace.

The people of the entire Chang'an City are suspicious!
