Chapter 370: Yuan Xi Poetry Club
I have to say that in ancient times, women were exquisite, and after a kiss from Kunning Palace, Zhao Fujin had made a private agreement with Bai Sheng for life.
In ancient times, a woman's private life was not a joke, that was called a person who was born as Bai Sheng, and death was Bai Sheng's ghost, even if Bai Sheng died, she would not marry someone else, not to mention that Bai Sheng was just crippled and disfigured?
Such an infatuated woman is also the top value, if Bai Sheng can still be indifferent, he can't be described as "not a man", he can only be said to be not a person.
So when Zhao Ji asked the ministers and saw that no one answered and was about to announce the rules of competition, Bai Sheng spoke: "The official family, the Weichen also wants to marry Emperor Maode!"
Bai Sheng's words were like throwing a bomb among the civil and military officials, and it suddenly exploded into a crowd in the court.
In view of Bai Sheng's high status in the eyes of the emperor now, of course, no one would directly make sarcastic or even insulting words, but people's voices of surprise represent this meaning.
What has become of you, Bai Sheng? You dare to ask to marry Emperor Maode? This is too self-conscious!
Zhao Ji also thinks that Bai Sheng is too much, you are like this and you want to bring disaster to my daughter, do you want her to stay alive and widowed?
In Zhao Ji's view, Bai Sheng is a person who is equivalent to death. Even if he can come back alive after going to Western Xia, he is not a living person.
He was so gracious and indulgent to Bai Sheng, it was all for himself to be able to regain his strength, and once it turned out that he could not restore the function of a man, the first person to kill was Bai Sheng.
Even if Bai Sheng can finally cure his illness, he is just a disfigured and crippled, how can he marry his daughter to him?
It's just that in the current situation, there is no need to directly reject Bai Sheng's request, a sheep is released, and a group of sheep is also released, so it is better to simply put on a posture of treating everyone equally.
"You all go to the Yuanxi Poetry Club, if you don't have a Jinshi background, if you can win the first place in the poetry club, I will give him the same Jinshi background, and then have a second round of competition with Cai Ying, Zhang Bangchang and Qin Hui. ”
The meaning of these words is very clear, Bai Sheng, Chen Dong and Zhou Qin need to participate in the first round of elimination, if none of these three people can win the first place in the poetry club, they will not have the conditions to compete with the other three at all.
Of course, the Yuanxi Poetry Club is not a poetry meeting of three people, but a poetry meeting of all literati talents in the capital and even the world, Zhao Ji does not believe that Bai Sheng and Chen Dong have the strength to stand out in this poetry meeting.
In terms of academic qualifications, Bai Sheng is just a showman, not a test yet, and Chen Dong is just a tribute student, how much ink can these two people have in their stomachs?
He believed that Bai Chen and the others couldn't even enter the top 100 of the poetry club, so why should they refuse them on the spot?
As for Zhou Qin, maybe Zhou Bangyan caught the knife for him, but he needed to think carefully about it and think of a fair competition rule to avoid his father and son from cheating.
Zhao Ji's arrangement won the understanding and support of the ministers, and they shouted long live and praised the official family.
This is a reasonable approach. Only one of Bai Chen's three people was able to compete with Cai Zhangqin's three jinshi, or none of them.
The details that Zhao Ji can think of can also be thought of, as long as Zhou Bangyan doesn't help his son do a good job of poetry in advance, then Zhou Qin will definitely not be able to get the first place, no matter how famous Zhou Qin is, can he catch up with Li Qingzhao?
Li Qingzhao is bound to participate in the poetry meeting!
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Zhao Ji announced his retirement from the dynasty, leaving only Cai Jing down and letting Lao Cai, the national leader in charge of education, personally draw up the topic.
Because Cai Ying did not need to rely on the poetry club to compete for qualifications, there was basically nothing to criticize about the emperor's arrangement of Cai Jing's question.
Of course, if you have to find out the disadvantages of Cai Jing's question, it is not impossible to find out. Although Cai Yan does not need to rely on the ranking of the poetry club to obtain qualifications, he can know the topic in advance, prepare hard in advance, and then overwhelm other competitors at the poetry meeting.
If Cai Yan wins the first place in the poetry club, doesn't it also mean that Bai Sheng, Zhou Qin and Chen Dong will be eliminated?
In fact, this possibility does not exist.
Because whether it is Li Qingzhao or Zhou Bangyan, they can ignore Cai Jing's father and son cheating like this. Because of the comparison of poetry skills and creative inspiration alone, Zhou Bangyan and Li Qingzhao can throw Cai Jing and his son a few streets, even if his father and son wrote poems in advance and remembered them in their hearts, it is useless!
There are also people who are thoughtful and consider a very subtle possibility, that is, Bai Sheng knew the topic in advance, and then asked Li Qingzhao to catch the knife and make poems in advance, if this may really be true, then Bai Sheng has the hope of winning the first place in this poetry meeting.
But this may not be true, because if Cai Jing leaks the topic to Bai Sheng in advance, it will be tantamount to bullying his son Cai Ying. If this is the case, why should Cai Jing propose marriage for Cai Ying? Wouldn't it be okay to directly propose marriage for Bai Sheng?
......
On the second night of the first month of February, the entire Bianjing City was full of light, put on the new clothes of the festival, and the Lantern Festival officially began.
After the dinner, under the protection of many forbidden soldiers and guards, accompanied by Tong Guan and Lin Lingsu, Zhao Ji led the concubines and ministers to take the treasure incense car around the city, and came to the top of Ao Mountain after admiring the lanterns of every household.
The top of Ao Mountain is the highest place in the city, it is the best place to enjoy the night view with the people, many years ago the pavilion and pavilion have been built, for the arrival of the emperor tonight, it has been carefully arranged for several days.
The whole Ao Mountain is hung with colorful lanterns, and the color of the lantern cloth is green, like a fairyland on earth. At the top of the mountain, there is a two-story pavilion called the Observation Pavilion.
Overlooking the city from the second floor of the observation pavilion, the city is a sea of lights, and there are fire trees and silver flowers lit on the ocean from time to time, colorful and dazzling.
Zhao Ji stood on the edge of the railing with his hands in his hands, and couldn't help but be poetic when he saw this prosperous scene, "In this situation, I want to paint a painting and compose a lyric ......"
His excitement was beyond words, which reminded Bai Sheng of the two-person actor Song Xiaofeng in later generations.
The palace maid next to him hurriedly took the four treasures of the study and the brush Danqing, Zhao Ji immediately splashed ink, a "Yuan Xi Lantern Scene" sprayed on tissue paper, painted the inscription, a beautiful thin gold calligraphy jumped out.
Throwing away the brush in his hand, Zhao Ji groaned:
The dragon shadow even more reflected the screen, contemplating the rare star.
Tears disappear the dream of beautiful concubines, and worry about the artistic feelings of the ministers.
Serve paper and pen, cut silver lamps, and the country does not love Danqing.
The border passes pass the golden drum day and night, and listen to it drunk in the translation of incense songs. ”
The ministers are all experts in poetry appreciation, and they immediately applauded in unison, and Cai Jing clapped his ass unyieldingly: "The official family's partridge sky is extremely wonderful!
Patting sycophants is also orderly, Lao Cai is a great Confucian in the world, he is present, and he must be the first to shoot about the sycophants in literature, if others dare to trespass, then wait to wear small shoes in the future.
Zhao Ji's "Partridge Day" opened the curtain of the Yuan Xi Poetry Conference.
