Zhu Zhanchang changed the verses and touched on the theme of Hong Xi's youth on a whim. Zhu Gaochi was so excited that everyone stood up.
He knew that what happened today would definitely be spread in the literary world. The book Hong Xi Youth that Zhu Zhanchang just mentioned would also become a popular bestseller. This new model of giving you eternal famous lines for you to continue to write will definitely become popular.
Moreover, Zhu Zhanzhen's behavior of casually reciting famous quotes from time to time really shocked everyone present, as if he didn't want money. This made everyone in the Imperial College understand the gap between him and Zhu Zhanzhen.
The Hongxi Literary Award was not that he was begging them to join. He alone was enough to suppress them all in the literary world. At such a young age, he only talked about his poetic talent, but he was enough to be called the leader of the Ming Dynasty, and his status was so noble.
Xu Youzhen looked at Zhu Zhanzhen blankly, as if he had lost his mind, as if he had lost his soul. He felt that he was brilliant in literature and talented, and was definitely a leader among the younger generation of Imperial College students. His family could not be said to be rich and famous, but at least it was good, but in front of him
In front of this young man who is truly the best in the world, he seems to be completely worthless.
When the sun shines, how can the stars compete with each other?
The main judges also understood that if Zhu Zhanyi also ran for the Hongxi Literature Award, it would be unanimously approved. Of course, in order to avoid suspicion, Zhu Zhanyi would definitely avoid it deliberately.
Literary people are dissatisfied with many things, but they dare not have any dissatisfaction with the literary talent that far exceeds his. The admiration and sincere conviction from the heart cannot deceive oneself.
It is normal for a scholar to be noble and arrogant, but now that Li Bai is standing in front of me, I am sorry to say that I am Shixian's licking dog.
Top-notch poetic talent is a rare treasure for any era, especially in ancient times, which attached great importance to culture.
The group of people were silent for a while until the emperor spoke first: "Haha, my son is not talented. He can only write one sentence or one paragraph of poems, but considering the short time, it is reasonable to come up with an idea at the last minute. All you talented doctors, I hope you can
Forgive me."
Zhu Gaochi stood up in Versailles, humble, very humble.
Everyone has been impressed by Zhu Zhanyi's talent, and Zhu Zhanyi apologized hundreds of times to these future generations.
"Today I am honored to hear the prince's eternal quatrains. The students feel ashamed and ask Hong Xi's young man to type and publish the book for the prince." Zhao Rui, who was the Imperial College's wine minister, stood up and saluted. His etiquette was correct and his words were sincere.
He no longer thinks that Zhu Zhanzhen is just a prince with some talents who plays with the world, and he no longer has any scruples about the Hongxi Literature Award. The ancients said that there is no first place in literature, but now Zhu Zhanzhen is the number one he recognizes.
Now you are telling him to withdraw from the Hongxi Literary Award judging panel. Are you kidding me? If you don't let me come, I will have to squeeze my head in.
Although the doubts about Yenching University have not disappeared, they will be reduced a lot because Zhu Zhanzhen has a high status in the Ming Dynasty's literary world. This is the same as if Du Fu came to found a private school, although some people said that Du Fu might have the ability to teach and educate people.
Generally speaking, looking at Du Fu's own reputation, there are naturally a large number of people who can talk about it.
Zhu Gaochi laughed loudly and was full of energy. He was in high spirits during happy events. His bones seemed to be much better.
"Today's dinner will include poems composed by all the students and supervisors. Four chief judges will be present. There will also be some ancient quatrains written by the Ming Dynasty princes, which should be sung."
The eunuch next to him immediately asked the eunuch with a lower status to prepare all tonight's matters recorded by the palace official and send them to the newspaper office overnight. Not to mention that they haven't ordered tomorrow's newspaper yet, even if they are copied, you will have to.
Please retype it for me and print this thing.
The headlines on the front page must be the headlines on the front page.
Everyone's mood was also high. Wen Taiqing's wife stood up and said: "Your Majesty, with your literary talents, I think the Hongxi Literature Prize can be awarded directly to him."
"No, no, I am also delighted with Zhan Yi's literary talent, but as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he cannot participate in the selection according to our selection rules. Although I also feel very sorry, a member of the royal family can only aggrieve Zhan Yi.
Now, I am very relieved that he is supervising this Hongxi Literature Award, and I hope you can pay more attention to him. Although he is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he is only a teenager after all. I believe that you are all his good teachers and helpful friends, and can
Give him a helping hand.”
When the emperor said this, everyone below was really frightened, and they all immediately stood up and saluted.
"The humble minister is terrified."
"The common people are terrified."
"Students are terrified."
This night, I really gave him all my dignity. If they cause trouble again, it's because these people are ignorant.
"I am deeply pleased with today's dinner. There are still some things that need to be dealt with, so I will leave now. You can still enjoy the entertainment."
Everyone bid farewell to Zhu Gaochi, but it was over now. The host family had already left, and others also left one after another.
The palace becomes much brighter at night because of the lights, especially in some aisles. For safety reasons, the guards add lights.
Zhao Rui and others walked in the aisle, with eunuchs watching in front and behind to prevent anyone from falling behind in line, taking the wrong path, and to prevent anyone from deliberately staying in the palace.
Xu Youzhen looked at the eunuchs around her who were all walking with their heads lowered, as if they had developed a special ability. They could see the road ahead clearly even with their heads lowered. They, the students of the Imperial College, also had to learn to walk like this.
Avoid the emperor's nobles you meet on the road.
In this era, you can't even look at the emperor's women. If you look at them, it will offend the emperor's majesty.
If you look up at someone and it seems like you have other thoughts in mind, it is very disrespectful.
Even their majestic Imperial Academy ministers would lower their heads like this in the palace. Why could these proud literati lower their heads like this? Because these are rules, rules that suppress everyone, and these are the most important rules for their literati.
"Xu Youzhen is not allowed to raise her head, lest she see something she shouldn't see." Zhao Rui reminded him dishonestly.
Xu Youzhen hurriedly lowered her head.
At this time the eunuch shouted: "Everyone, get out of the way."
At this time, a pair of eunuchs came over carrying a sedan, and sitting on the top of the hill was Zhu Gaochi's favorite concubine.
Zhu Gaochi thought he was happy tonight. He didn't plan to have anyone wait on him, so he ordered the concubine to come over. Normally, he would go to the concubine's courtyard, but there were many things to do tonight, so he asked her to go to the study.
After all, big and small things have to be done and cannot be affected.
After the concubine's sedan passed by, everyone could leave again, but after taking only two steps, the eunuch shouted again: "Everyone, get out of the way."
"Another concubine?" Xu Youzhen was trembling in her heart. The emperor is worthy of being an emperor.
But this time the sedan was heading out of the palace. It was not the concubine's sedan, but Zhu Zhanzhen's.
Zhu Zhanzhen was treated very well in the palace. After the dinner, he went to sit with his mother for a while, and was surrounded by the topic of birth. In order to let him go home early to give birth to his grandson, the queen asked him to be taken out of the palace in a sedan chair.
Seeing the students standing aside with their heads lowered, Zhu Zhanchen shouted: "Stop."
After getting off the sedan and walking over, Zhao Rui and others realized that the person coming was Zhu Zhanzhen.
"Students have met His Highness Neptune."
"Didn't you all set off long ago? Why haven't you left the palace yet?"
Zhao Rui was a little embarrassed. He gave way in the palace and his steps slowed down, but he couldn't say it directly.
"Don't blame me, His Highness the Sea King, for my slow pace."
"That's good. I thought it was because of the delay. It's late at night, so you guys have to hurry up." Zhu Zhanzhen reminded.
Zhao Rui replied: "Yes, Your Highness."
Zhu Zhanchen looked at Xu Youzhen in the crowd again. He lowered his head just like the others.
Xu Youzhen helped Zhu Qizhen launch the rebellion in history. Zhu Qizhen restored Yu Qian and then executed him.
Theoretically, he won the political struggle but left behind an eternal reputation as a traitor.
Now Xu Youzhen is still a student under twenty years old. Zhu Zhanzhen said: "Xu Youzhen."
"Students are here."
"How is my poem today?"
"His Highness's poems are all quatrains of the ages, and students should keep them in mind."
Zhu Zhanzhen said leisurely: "My father asked us to use youth as the theme today. It is also to express to all the students that young people should have a youthful spirit. Young people are the future of the country. Those who read poetry and books are often young. You can understand."
"Thank you, Lord Hai, for your teaching."
After some preaching, these people sounded nice, but they were still a little uncomfortable in their hearts. After all, Zhu Zhanzhen was only a young man under the age of twenty, but he could preach to them. Senior academics like Zhao Rui felt that
Can you feel comfortable?
But so what if he was uncomfortable, Zhu Zhanzhen did it on purpose. He felt that he had to suppress these people to avoid verbal criticism of himself in the future.
Zhu Zhanzhen got on the sedan chair, lay back and left gracefully.
Their status and comprehensive suppression in the literary world make most of these people unable to resist, and even if they are slightly unhappy, it is just unhappy.
But Xu Youzhen is different.
He raised his head slightly and looked at Zhu Zhanzhen's leaving figure. This noble and elegant Prince of Ming Dynasty left a deep impression on him.
He seemed to have everything he wanted, his talent, his strength, his money, his power, and even his height and appearance, all of which made him envious. The same was true for the talent and learning he was proud of in front of him.
vulnerable.
Such a talented person framed Nanyang in the country, pacified Japan and Korea, had overwhelming power, commanded the South China Sea Fleet, and eased the chaos of the Han Dynasty without spending a single soldier. His every move and every move was a major event in the world.
It happened that such a person could still gain the trust of the emperor and the prince.
Seeing Zhu Zhanzhen's sedan slowly walking into the darkness, Xu Youzhen glanced back at Fengtian Hall in the distance.
The Fengtian Hall under the dim light is majestic and solemn, with the bright moon hanging over the eaves, like a palace in the sky overlooking the world. The misty clouds are transparent and white under the moonlight, and the light smoke and dust are like waterfalls, falling from the nine heavens of the Milky Way.
In front of the palace.
The palace is deep and the palace walls are towering.
Xu Youzhen did not feel disappointed because of the blow. Instead, she felt how great it would be if she could be like him.
If you can't become a person like him, you have to make way for the young and beautiful women who are favored by the emperor and the powerful people in the corridors of the palace.
You have to lower your head and stand in the corner with your body hunched over. Even raising your head is disrespectful.
In this life, there are still many corners where we have to stand, and there are still many where we have to bow our heads. If you cannot enter the Fengtian Temple, you will have to bow your head forever.
In that towering temple, a pair of powerful eyes squinted slightly in the darkness, overlooking all living beings and peering into the world, the glory and wealth of that place.
Sure, there is a seat for me.
Later, they gave way again, and there was another concubine who was the emperor's new favorite. It was obvious that the emperor was really happy today.
…
When Zhu Zhanyi returned home, he was almost ready for the Hongxi Literature Award. After today, many judges will start to compare articles and select the best among them to award awards. As for his own Yenching University, Zhu Zhanyi planned to let him start school early.
, so that there will be a lot of free labor for the award ceremony.
Let students from the university serve as volunteers for the Hongxi Literature Award. Others who would like to spend money to participate in such a grand event would have no chance. All students from Yenching University should participate, which can be regarded as participating in a big project to accumulate experience.
And these people are definitely willing to work for free for two or three days, and food and accommodation are definitely included. After all, food and accommodation are already provided in the school, and it would be nice to increase them a little bit.
Wow, I am really a cold-blooded capitalist.
Zhu Zhanchen couldn't help but want to praise his intelligence.
Chen Xinyue came over with warm tea: "Your Highness, please have a cup of tea. You have been busy all day. It is still a bit cold outside. Please drink a cup of warm tea to prevent the cold air from entering your body."
"I just went to my mother's place, and she urged me again. I think she will come to urge you more often."
Chen Xinyue blushed slightly and took the teapot to pour tea: "Your Highness, the Queen Mother is also thinking about us, so it is normal to press harder."
Zhu Zhanzhen reached out and took the beauty into his arms: "You have to hold on tight."
Chen Xinyue resisted slightly and broke away from Zhu Zhanyi: "Your Highness, Xinyue is not feeling well today."
Zhu Zhanchen, who was in low spirits, drank tea.
"Your Highness, there is a letter from Zhang Xianqi from Japan."
Zhu Zhanyi took a look and reported on the situation in Japan and Li Xianyu's current situation. He still hadn't woken up. Zhu Zhanyi couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Highness, the second brother's nephew will be back tomorrow. Xiaozhu means that she will pick him up tomorrow. What do you think?"
Zhu Zhanquan's children were arranged to come back, and he had more than one son. Now he has two sons and two daughters. Now that they are all arranged to come back, the queen may be unhappy because his son is more fertile.
"Well, of course, I have met my eldest nephew once. I will ask her to pick her up tomorrow and tell her that she can come to the house to play at any time." Zhu Zhanyi explained.
…
Everything is in order in Shuntian Mansion. On the vast sea, a dilapidated Ming Dynasty warship is sailing slowly. It seems that it will fall apart at any time, drifting on the sea, for fear of being broken by a huge wave.
"There are warships ahead, there are warships ahead."
A sailor wearing rags was shouting, and he could vaguely see that his clothes were Ming Dynasty clothes.
"Get ready to fight, prepare to fight."
A body fell in the cabin and opened his eyes. He listened to the sounds of the sailors preparing to fight, but remained motionless.
