Wu Sansi thought he was Empress Wu's nephew. Once this identity was revealed, everyone would be wary and would hand over the position of leader to him. In this way, he would not only get a literary name, but also get the 100,000 reward, which can be said to be
Gain fame and fortune.
But unexpectedly, except for Su Weiwei, who bowed to him, everyone ignored him. It was not until the end that Ni Lai, the shopkeeper, bowed his hand and said: "Please write a poem and give it to me, sir."
If you are really outstanding in literary talent, I believe that the title of leader must be none other than Young Master."
Wu Sansi was immediately overjoyed when he heard this. He thought that the other party wanted him to write poems in order to convince everyone, and then lied during the evaluation process to give him the position of leader.
Therefore, Wu Sansi was not pretentious. After thinking hard for a long time, he finally wrote a poem: "The phoenix comes to the fragrant land, and the dragon's carriage is green. The star palace contains the rain, and the moon palace embraces the spring glory. Under the long rainbow in the green stream, the sculptures
In the early morning of Liang Dynasty, the swallows returned. The clouds seemed to float on the treasure cover, and the stones looked like the sky's clothes. The dew and grass invaded the long steps, and the wind and flowers flew around the mats. The sun was setting and the scenery was beautiful, and the clear breeze blew into the heavy palace."
Wu Sansi handed in the poem and looked at the judges with pride, preparing to be announced as the leader so that he could gain both fame and fortune.
Unexpectedly, Wang Bo smiled and said: "This gentleman's poems are barely acceptable, but they are far behind the above mentioned men. Even Song Zhiwen, who ran away shyly, was far behind, and he dared to come here."
Showing off one's ugliness is really overestimating one's ability."
When Wu Sansi heard this, his color suddenly changed. He pointed at Wang Bo and shouted: "Who are you? How dare you insult me like this? Do you know who I am? I am Wu Sansi, the queen's nephew!"
But I heard Wang Bo laugh and say: "I want you to know that I am Prince An of Jiangzhou, and I am currently working as an editor in Prince Pei's Mansion. As for your identity as sir, it is because I know that I will respectfully call you sir, otherwise I will call you sir."
His literary talent is really a superfluous work in this poetry meeting, how can I get a single word of comment on it?"
When Wu Sansi heard this, he became very angry and said with a sneer: "Compiled by Prince Pei's Mansion, Wang Zi'an, I remember it, huh, just wait, sooner or later you will regret it."
After finishing speaking, Wu Sansi turned to the big shopkeeper Ni Lai and asked calmly: "This big shopkeeper, I want to get the name of the leader and the reward. I wonder if the big shopkeeper is willing to do it?"
But I heard Ni Lai laugh and say: "You shouldn't ask the villain about this matter. You must ask the judges and Mr. Luo if you are willing?"
After hearing this, Wu Sansi turned to Lu Zhaolin and others, and then asked: "Do you think my poetry can be worthy of this title?"
Before he finished speaking, Du Shenyan laughed loudly and said: "If Gong's poetry and prose could also be the leader, my poetry and prose would have been no less than that of Qu Song. There is no need to talk about today's matter."
"Humph, you, you..."
"I am Du Shenyan, the imperial censor in the palace." Du Shenyan said without waiting for Wu Sansi to finish: "Haha, what an arrogant Qianniu Preparation Duke dares to threaten his colleagues in public, I want to see it.
Do you dare to threaten me? I forgot to mention that I am also responsible for the dignity of officials. If someone behaves inappropriately, I have the right to impeach him."
"Hmph, how dare you, the censor of the little palace, be so arrogant? I'll remember it!" Wu Sansi saw that the other party was in charge of him, so he didn't dare to say anything, but the grudge with the other party was finally settled.
At this time, Lu Zhaolin chuckled and said: "Lu is just an idler. He is employed by the big shopkeeper. Naturally, he has to follow the boss's lead. Whatever the big shopkeeper wants Lu, Lu will do?"
Su Weiwei didn't want to speak at first, but when he saw Wu Sansi's murderous look, he had no choice but to say: "Well, Mr. Wu's poems and essays are indeed a spring of brilliant ideas and are excellent works, but Mr. Luo's poems and essays seem to be a little sketchy.
It's better, but Mr. Wu is so young and can write such poems, he is not inferior to Brother Luo. If we talk about the leader, this, this, it's really hard to say."
"Humph, you are quite sensible." Although Su Weiwei didn't directly say that Wu Sansi was the leader, at least he didn't reject it directly like others. His face softened slightly and he randomly asked King Luo Bin: "No matter what other people say, it's okay."
It’s all in vain, if Mr. Luo just gives up, I’m sure all the gentlemen won’t have any objections, right?”
But King Luo Bin shook his head and said: "Master Wu, how could Luo give up what he deserved? Not to mention that this reward was tied to Luo's hope of curing his wife's illness, so Luo gave up his life.
, and don’t want to give up.”
Wu Sansi frowned even more when he heard this, and shouted sternly: "You don't know how to praise me! As long as you give up this leadership to me, will you be short of money and silk in the future? Not only that, I can also guarantee that you will enter the court in the future.
Becoming an official will make your career successful and your career will rise to the top."
But King Luo Bin shook his head and said: "Luo is only willing to serve the country with his talents and knowledge. He has never thought that he can rely on others to recommend him as an official. Even if someone needs to recommend him, it is not right for Luo and the prince to be different and not to be conspiring with each other."
Thank you for your help."
"Hmph, what a King Luo Bin, what a man who has different ways and does not work together. Mr. Luo, you'd better remember this sentence. He will definitely make it difficult for you to have an official career in this life. Don't you have a wife at home who needs medical treatment? I
I guarantee that no one will dare to treat you even if you have money."
"Hey, Brother Wu, you have such a loud tone. This threat carries such murderous intent, it's really scary!" After seeing King Luo Bin being threatened and unable to resist, Li Xian knew that things would be difficult to handle if he didn't come out, so
He separated from the crowd, walked to the middle, and said with a sneer: "Wu Sansi, do you know that this world is my Li family's world, not your Wu family's world! You actually said such rude words and threats outside the gate of my palace.
No one in the world dares to treat Mr. Luo's family. Who gives you the courage? Well, it is my mother's kindness to forgive you for your past sins and give you an official position. You don't miss my mother's kindness, but instead
It's really hateful to act tyrannically everywhere and damage my mother's reputation. I'm here today. Who dares to use his power to overwhelm others?"
"Hello, Li Xian! Huh, let's see!" Wu Sansi's face turned livid when he saw that Li Xian had ruined his good deeds again. However, when he saw Li Xian standing on the ground, his fists were also uneasy.
He shook his head toward himself, and suddenly felt a little guilty. He put down a harsh word and left dejectedly, not caring about the bursts of ridicule coming from behind.
But when Li Xian saw Wu Sansi leaving, he hurriedly bowed his hands to everyone and said: "Masters, the little king Li Xian is so polite. Alas, his family is unfortunate, and there are such incompetent relatives around the little king. I am really ashamed of you.
Xiao Wang hereby takes his incompetent cousin to apologize to all the gentlemen."
When everyone heard that it was Li Xian, the king of Zhou, and saw that Li Xian had driven away Wu Sansi, and that he was very polite, they all couldn't help but feel good about him, and they quickly returned the courtesy.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. What does this matter have to do with Your Majesty?"
"Haha, yes, everything is because Wu Sansi acted recklessly and has nothing to do with the king."
"Exactly. Actually speaking, it's a good thing that the king drove away this Wu Sansi, otherwise we really don't know how to end it."
…
While everyone was talking, they saw Du Shenyan coming forward, holding Li Xian's hand and saying: "After a few years, the king's demeanor has become even better than before, which is gratifying. Haha, I know the king's poetry well. It's true." As the saying goes, meeting by chance is worse than an invitation, so why don’t you write a poem today to let your subordinates see the talent of your Majesty?”
When Li Xian saw this, he didn't push it away. He just laughed and said: "Xiao Wang has been busy in the military for the past few years, but he has been a little delayed in poetry. However, he has just begun to get a glimpse of music and lyrics. If you don't dislike it, Xiao Wang
It's embarrassing."
When Du Shenyan heard Li Xian's words, he couldn't help but change his face. What kind of music and lyrics is this? How can such a vulgar thing show its embarrassment in front of so many elegant people? But when he saw the onlookers all applauding, and they looked like
There was an expectant look on his face, and he also boasted that he had quite a lot of experience in this area, so it was difficult to say anything else.
In fact, except for Du Shenyan, other elegant people also dismissed it, because at that time, writing lyrics was a minor thing after all, and compared with Tang poetry, it was a bit vulgar.
Li Xian naturally knew this, but he really didn't want to bring so many beautiful long and short sentences into the coffin, so he decided to take the opportunity to spread this literary method. He believed that there were so many top literati, as long as his lyrics
Extraordinary, it will definitely make this new literary form spread three to four hundred years early.
Of course, Li Xian had confidence in his lyrics, because he believed that even among all the poems describing the Lantern Festival in history, this poem would definitely be regarded as an immortal one.
Therefore, Li Xian bowed his hands in front of everyone and began to recite: "The east wind blows thousands of flowers and trees at night. It blows down, and the stars are like rain. BMWs and carved cars fill the road with fragrance. The phoenix flute sounds, the jade pot turns the light, all night long
Fish and Dragon Dance.”
After Li Xian finished reciting the first half of the poem, everyone in the audience nodded and said nothing, especially arrogant people like Du Shenyan and Wang Bo, but regardless of Li Xian's identity, they began to comment: "Beauty is beautiful,
However, even if Wu Nawu thinks twice about reciting the words of a beautiful woman, his state of mind is no different."
Lu Zhaolin and Su Weiwei said implicitly: "However, King Zhou is only sixteen or seventeen years old. In terms of age, he is still better than Mr. Wu."
Guo Zhen, who was watching, lamented that King Zhou was a prince after all. Although he had made many achievements, he only indulged in pleasure. It seemed that the rumors were true. This time, King Zhou was ostracized by Empress Wu and the Crown Prince because of his many achievements, and was deprived of his military power.
, now I can only pass the time with pleasure.
Shangguan Wan'er frowned after hearing this, thinking that King Zhou seemed to be less focused on learning during this period, but this poem was far inferior to the previous "Li Li Yuan Shang Cao" state.
Li Xian naturally had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions. In fact, he also knew that this reaction was normal, because the most critical part of this poem was in the second half.
Amid everyone's surprised gazes, Li Xian had a faint smile on his face and slowly recited: "The moth is like a golden thread in the snow and willows, and the laughter is full of fragrance. The crowd has searched for him thousands of times, but suddenly looking back, that person is there.
In a dimly lit place."
After reading the lyrics, the scene fell into silence. After a moment, Wang Bo, who had reacted, was the first to clap the table and exclaimed: "Great! To be able to write music and lyrics to this level, the king deserves to be a literary master of the generation!" (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
