Chapter 372 Zhou's father and son bet on the question

Zhao Ji's literary literacy is also extremely high, although it is worse than Cai Jing, but he can definitely be regarded as a literary scholar, hearing Cai Jing's praise for Li Qingzhao's works, he immediately echoed: "It is indeed a good word!"

Then he lowered his voice and asked Cai Jing: "I just don't know who Qingzhao is thinking in her heart, I don't look at the meaning of this word, it doesn't look like I'm looking forward to her husband Zhao Mingcheng." ”

Cai Jing immediately shook his head and said he didn't know. I only know that since she entered Beijing, she has always stayed in the lecture hall and dutifully taught Master Li and Zhao Fujin, and I have never heard of having an affair with anyone.

Empress Zheng, Concubine Wei Xian and others are all slandering: This is Li Qingzhao again, and he didn't learn a lesson when he was assassinated in Wang Hao's house?

There are many fans of Li Qingzhao in the audience, especially those princes and emperors, who heard that Cai Jing and the emperor were praising Li Qingzhao's works, so they also applauded.

In the tide of colorful sounds, there are also some people with mixed tastes.

As a contestant and one of Zhao Fujin's suitors, Chen Dong was already disillusioned, and he knew that he would never be able to make such good words as Li Qingzhao, so he directly gave up the idea of competition.

Chen Dong gave up does not mean that others also give up, and Zhou Bangyan and his son do not think that Li Qingzhao's works can win the first place.

Cai Jing is certainly the authority in the judges, but he alone is not enough to finalize the ranking, as long as the words and sentences written are good enough, he Cai Jing will not be able to reverse black and white in front of so many literary experts, and cover the sky with one hand.

The color has not stopped, and Zhou Qin's work has been released, which is a "full court fang":

"The white jade building is high, the vast cold palace is wide, and the twilight clouds are like a curtain open.

The Milky Way faction flows out of the blue sky.

Countless stars and jade plums, ice wheels, light full of buildings.

Landing place, all victorious Yinghai, weak water flooding Penglai.

The clouds, the fragrant mist is wet, the moon is rhyme, and the clouds are frozen Jiangmei.

In the case of food and flowers, don't hesitate to wander.

Sit and watch the world like a palm, the shadow of mountains and rivers, and pour it into the Qiong cup.

When I returned late, the sound of the flute blew through, and there were 90,000 miles of dust. ”

This poem is actually composed by Zhou Bangyan himself. As early as after the emperor in the court decided that the first poetry club could be qualified for competition, he returned home and prepared more than a dozen works with his son Zhou Qin.

Just like the Chinese teacher who gave his students "questions" before the college entrance examination in later generations, the poems prepared by Zhou Bangyan and his son covered various situations at the right time and place, and this Man Tingfang is a work dedicated to Aoshan tonight.

The first sentence "white jade building is high", it is written that Zhao Ji ascended the viewing pavilion, this pavilion is made of white marble, called "white jade building" is very appropriate.

On the night of the second day of the second month of February, there can be no full moon in the sky, but there must be brilliant stars. Therefore, his words and sentences have descriptions such as "the Milky Way faction" and "countless stars and jade plums".

As for "the ice wheels and the light fills the building", it is a portrayal of the first quarter moon. The ice wheel moves, so it's not round.

"The clouds, the fragrant mist is wet, the moon is rhyme, and the clouds are frozen and the river plums. "It's praising Zhao Fujin's beauty;

"Sit and watch the world like a palm, the shadow of mountains and rivers, and pour it into the Qiong cup. "It's a sycophant of Zhao Ji.

This poem was dedicated, and it was recited by Zhou Qin himself, which immediately attracted a lot of colorful sounds.

Zhou Qin also has fans, even if he is neither as good as his father Zhou Bangyan nor as many fans as Li Qingzhao.

Zhao Ji still has the spirit of fair play, if he also cheats, what is the meaning of this poem? Not to mention that this poem also pats his ass?

Therefore, after watching this song Man Tingfang, he thinks that he can compete with Li Qingzhao's Yongyule, Li Qingzhao's words are beautiful in the artistic conception, and Zhou Qin's words are better in the situation, so he gave his opinion and said that he could temporarily tie for the first place.

If there is no other work tonight that surpasses these two words, then in the end, it will be up to you literary masters to strictly evaluate which of these two words is better or worse.

Cai Jing opened his mouth next to him, but he couldn't say anything. He originally wanted to forcibly suppress Zhou Qin's lyrics, no matter which one of these lyrics was written by Zhou Bangyan's father and son, he didn't want to give Zhao Ji the same evaluation.

It's just that there are really no big flaws in this poem for him to criticize, and finding fault also needs to be justified, isn't it? He was organizing the materials here, but he didn't expect the emperor to set the tone first.

Since the emperor has set the tone, it is difficult for him to say much, even if he is unwilling to echo it, he cannot contradict the emperor's intentions. What's more, forcibly suppressing Zhou Qin was originally suspected of eliminating competitors for Cai Ying.

As a result, Zhou Qin became the favorite to win the championship, and then other talented officials also submitted works one after another, but no one's masterpieces can compare with Li Qingzhao and Zhou Qin.

The Yuanxi Poetry Club is a poetry meeting of talented people and women in the world, in addition to these officials who can sit around the viewing pavilion on the top of the mountain, there are still many folk people and ink writers gathered on the hillside.

These people are not only talented people from the capital, but also Confucian scholars from other cities and counties in the Great Song Dynasty, they also made their own lyrics, but they were all pressed on the desk by the judges of the poetry club headed by the prince Zhao Heng, and they were not even qualified to read in public.

It's not that Zhao Heng deliberately suppressed the folk masters, but that the masters are really not in the folk. In the field of literature, the phrase "masters are among the people" is basically inapplicable, with the exception of a person named Guiguzi a long time ago.

The poetry meeting lasted for more than an hour, although the atmosphere became more and more lively, but the suspense of the first place became smaller and smaller, and people were thinking that unless Zhou Bangyan personally came up with a masterpiece, the first place could only be produced between Zhou Qin and Li Qingzhao.

Most people are guessing that Zhou Bangyan is very likely not to make a move, because his shot is tantamount to cannibalism between father and son.

Gradually, the number of people who submitted the work became scarce, and after offering an unsatisfactory butterfly love flower in the white hour, no one came up with the work, and it seemed that the poetry meeting was nearing its end.

"Has anyone else submitted a masterpiece?" On the second floor of the viewing pavilion, a eunuch was loudly announcing the emperor's consultation.

There was silence on the top of the mountain, and you could even hear the noise of the city below. No one answered the eunuch's inquiries.

Suddenly, a mournful and complaining female voice sounded from the second floor of the observation deck, "Bai Sheng, why don't you see your words?

It was Emperor Mao De who spoke, she just wanted to hear Bai Sheng's words tonight, even if she knew that Bai Sheng's works would definitely not reach the level of Li Qingzhao and Zhou Qin, but she just wanted to hear it.

No matter how crude and clumsy Bai Sheng's words are, they can at least prove that Bai Sheng's heart for her is sincere and firm.

On the contrary, it means that Bai Sheng has given up the relationship between the two!

Listening to Zhao Fujin's strange question, people couldn't help but be shocked, it turned out that Emperor Maode already had a place in his heart!

At the same time of shock, people's hearts were full of doubts and puzzles, Bai Sheng has become like this, what else is worth loving and following? Is this Maude Emperor Ji stupid?

People will even think: Aren't you forcing Bai Sheng to be ugly? If you don't write lyrics, you can't marry you, and if you don't write lyrics, you can't marry you either, so why bother to lose someone again?

People will also think: It seems that Bai Sheng must have deceived Emperor Mao De with rhetoric before this, and "he knows all poetry"? He really dares to brag.

People don't know that Bai Sheng really didn't say in person that he knows all poetry, these four words are the evaluation given by Li Qingzhao when he praised Bai Sheng, but they were remembered by Zhao Fujin and Master Li.

In fact, everyone knows the fact that Bai Sheng and Chen Dong have never come up with their works.

Both of them are the focus of attention, who doesn't know that they will compete with Zhou Qin for the first place in this poetry meeting?

But no one thought that Bai Sheng and Chen Dong would be Zhou Qin's opponents, and people had expected the outcome of the contest between these three before the poetry meeting.

People believe that Bai Sheng and Chen Dong chose to give up, which was the wisest choice.

Give up, give up, no one wants to mention it, just don't know. Is it really good to take them out again and roast them on the fire? Is it okay to pull them out and bake them on the fire? Is it okay to find Bai Sheng?

However, the lid that everyone was holding was lifted by Emperor Maode, and Bai Sheng was bitter now.

Just look at how Bai Sheng responds, this face is lost, it's big!
