The Lantern Festival Poetry Festival was held at Lihua Garden in Kyoto.
This is a special venue for the imperial court to hold events. All guests coming to the poetry festival must have an invitation from the imperial court.
Therefore, all those who came were dignitaries and literati who were friends with them.
In addition, this poetry meeting was special, and the imperial court specially invited many talented people so that the Chinese people could win the first prize in the poetry meeting.
Previously, the number of followers that dignitaries could bring was reduced from five to three, and so on.
At least one person can be brought along, and all of them must be literati.
If you are unable to get on the bus, the six departments can report it to the court and issue separate invitations to attend the poetry meeting.
It can be said that this poetry meeting was unprecedentedly grand, gathering almost all the talents and writers of Jingyang Kingdom.
Different from the past competitions, this time everyone has a common goal, which is to work together to the outside world!
Therefore, looking in the direction of Dongyue Kingdom, some talented people had disdain on their faces, while others had solemn expressions on their faces.
Considering the strength behind the opponent, and this poetry meeting even bet on the fate of the country, everything turned into heavy pressure, making some talents feel nervous!
Of course, there are also some people who don't know how high the sky is and hope to become famous in a poetry competition.
If he appears at this poetry meeting, he will naturally be remembered as a legend for the ages, and those literati who occasionally write good poems in seconds will all look forward to it.
Zalkuca sat in the missionary seat and observed all this with a sneer, starting from last year, or even three years earlier.
The East Vietnam Kingdom united with several other countries to jointly plan this poetic situation.
Their purpose was naturally to reduce Jingyang's national destiny, and because Emperor Jingyang was ill, they also defeated them in the literary world that the Chinese people were proud of.
Then, victory in this game may become a turning point in determining the general trend of the world.
Zhiyang Baoyu?
Who cares about that stuff?
There is only one thing that the people of East Vietnam care about, and that is the mountains and rivers in the world. What treasures can compare with these things?
As more and more people gathered, there were more and more conversations and congratulations. However, there were very few people who were willing to go to Dongyue to congratulate.
Who doesn't know that they are enemies tonight?
At the same time, the people of Dongyue were far away from the country, and the Chinese people also always looked down on these barbarians.
Of course Zalukuca also knew it.
He just sneered and said nothing.
As time passed, the poetry meeting finally began.
The prince personally appointed Qin Sining to preside over the matter. Qin Sining also knew the seriousness of the matter. She must act according to the situation today to save the court's face.
After going through some normal procedures, Qin Sining began to read out the message from the prince, which attracted applause from many students.
Now the prince's reputation has spread among the people. If Emperor Jingyang had not died, the prince would have been welcomed by the public and become the new emperor.
Qin Sining is also very satisfied with everyone's morale. With this kind of morale, he must be able to increase his chances of winning tonight's literary fight.
Then, she directly announced the beginning of the poetry meeting, "There will be fine wine and food tonight. You can enjoy it to your heart's content. Don't ask the host and guest to enjoy themselves!"
"The little girl does it first, so respect me!"
After Qin Sining had a drink first, the poetry meeting officially began.
It didn't take long for some literati to come forward and start raising money in the excitement of drinking.
Amidst the free drinking of fine wines, verses of poetry and songs were sung from the mouths of the talented men.
However, the first ones to appear were just some pawns after all.
If you don't quickly recite those good words you've been holding back, you won't have a chance when the master makes another move.
Just imagine, other people's poems are already exquisite, but if you have clumsy poems and poor sentences, how can you do it well?
The literati in Jingyang understood this and were not in a hurry. Those who came out first were the vanguard of the test. If they had done so, they would have defeated the East Vietnamese envoys.
Then there would be no pressure on this grand event.
Then just relax and enjoy it.
Qin Sining sat at the table and kept trying to figure out some of the words to sing, and indeed there were some amazing and brilliant sentences.
For some poems, she couldn't help but scream.
However, as the supervisor appointed by the prince, she still has to have her own stand and cannot be overjoyed easily.
The most he can do is nod his head and show some appreciation in his eyes.
Even so, the talented people who saw it were as excited as if they had been given blood, and they all hurriedly used all their abilities.
Come to think of it, Qin Sining didn't expect that she just nodded and had such an effect.
In addition, the people in Jingyang are also constantly observing the reaction of the East Vietnamese mission and want to know how they react to these beautiful sentences.
Based on this, we can speculate how strong they are.
Unfortunately, everyone was disappointed.
Today, most of the East Vietnamese envoys came, led by Zalukucha, who were military men, but Zalukucha could not understand the beauty of these words at all.
The talented people performed for a long time, but they just played the piano to a cow.
He always had a look of disdain on his face.
This made everyone speculate that no matter how big the East Vietnam mission was, these poems would still have the chance to win the first prize in previous years!
Is the strength of East Vietnam so strong?
As the poetry meeting progressed, more and more masters came forward, but Zalakuca's reaction was still expressionless.
Only then did someone realize something was wrong.
Could it be that...this guy knows nothing about poetry?
So someone tried to test it and wrote a poem, "The moon is full and the sky is cold, the sword rolls up the bead curtain, the northern country kills the tiger, and returns to protect the homeland!"
As soon as this poem came out, it attracted bursts of applause. At the same time, almost everyone turned their attention to Zalakuca.
He was still expressionless.
Now everyone understood that this guy was either stupid or ignorant.
So the whole place burst into jeers, and Qin Sining had to hold back his laughter when he came back to his senses.
The tigers in the north allude to the powerful enemies in the north. Apart from the barbarians, the biggest threat to Jingyang is the East Vietnam.
Therefore, the tiger refers to East Vietnam.
Zalkucha didn't even hear it, which directly exposed his pretense that he didn't understand poetry.
Although Zalkucha didn't understand, it didn't mean he was stupid. After noticing the strange atmosphere at the scene, he immediately turned around to communicate with the literati behind him.
The scholar from Dongyue Kingdom naturally understood, and told him the reason with a dark face. When Zalakucha heard this, he became furious.
These Chinese people are so kind and despicable. You can just write poetry. Why are you always playing with these frivolous things?
Still swearing?
I told you to curse!
"Take out our poems, and I will show these Chinese people now what are the masterpieces of the ages!"
After hearing this, the scholar persuaded, "The opponent's masters have not all come out. How about waiting until the end and then we play the finale?"
Zalkuca couldn't bear to be patient with him, so he waved his hand and said, "I can't wait any longer, just bring it to me!"
The literati sighed, "Well, once this masterpiece comes out, I'm afraid the poetry meeting will be over!"
"Huh, it might as well have been over early, I'm already annoyed!"
Zalkucha coldly accepted the scroll handed over by the scholar!
