Chapter 155: 'The Journey of the Prefect of the Northern Territory'
The fifth day of May is the Dragon Boat Festival, one of the four major traditional festivals.
It is a major folk festival to worship gods and ancestors, pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits.
To commemorate Qu Sheng who single-handedly defended the Chu Kingdom, fought against the Southern Barbarian shamans and fell into the Miluo River.
Later generations also regarded the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Sheng.
today,
Take a break in the academy.
After Li Changan published "The Journey of the Northern Governor" in Chenshi, he no longer read the list of literary saints, but concentrated on making rice dumplings with his sister-in-law.
"The Journey of the Governor of Yanmen" was changed to "The Journey of the Governor of the Northern Territory", and the rest of the content remained unchanged.
There is indeed Yanmen Pass in the northern border, but it has little connection with the Beiliang War, so it was changed to the entire northern battlefield, which is quite appropriate.
At Chen time, the tide of competition for rankings on the fifth day of May comes.
The poems and prose of Wenzong, one by one, are like mountains, suddenly appearing on the list of literary saints.
Turning the original Literary Saint List upside down.
Today, even if it is the Dragon Boat Festival, the List of Literary Saints has attracted the attention of the entire Jin Dynasty literary world.
Without him, there are too many attractive places.
First of all, the great masters Wen Zong came out, as if they were going to turn May into the second Battle of All Saints.
Secondly, Taibai challenged Songyue Academy alone, with such boldness and courage that had never been seen before. Such a battle attracted the attention of the whole world.
Thirdly, Qinglian suddenly emerged as a new force, and even had a tendency to become a god with her poems. Everyone wanted to see if Qinglian could defeat Taibai, who also had an amazing poetic talent, on the list of literary saints.
Fourth, is it possible for Taibai and Qinglian to break through the barriers and defeat Wenzong as newcomers?
Fifth, which poems can be transformed into war poems.
…
One after another, they set people's hearts on fire, making them unable to sit still.
"Come out, come out..."
"Look how many Wenzong there are?"
"I..." When a scribe saw the name appearing on the literati list, his mouth opened and he could not utter a word.
Eight Wenzongs take action!
There were actually eight Wenzong!
There are only three Wenzongs in April.
In addition to the eight Wenzongs, there were seventy-seven masters who also took action in May.
On the list of literary saints, almost all of them are occupied by the great master Wenzong.
Everyone else was almost squeezed out.
You really don’t give others a way to survive.
"Where's Qinglian? How far down has she fallen?"
"That's right, look for Qinglian's "Beiliang Ci" and see how it compares with those masters."
"Ninth place!?"
Tens of millions of scribes were stunned when they saw "Beiliang Ci" ranked ninth.
When Wenzong takes action, the rankings will naturally go down.
But who would have thought that Qinglian's poems would follow closely after Wenzong.
Is this... really a poem to convince Da Jin?
This is only the first time Qinglian has made a move on the Literary Saint List.
"What a terrifying speed of fame improvement!" someone exclaimed.
Although "Beiliang Ci" is ranked ninth, the speed of its fame has not been affected at all, and it is even similar to the speed of improvement of several Wen Zong.
If Wenzong's reputation hadn't been so strong, he might have been overtaken.
Such a discovery made all the scribes who saw this scene feel that the world had gone crazy.
Is there really someone who can challenge Wen Zong as a newcomer!?
Now Qinglian is no longer competing with the masters, but is following Wenzong and coveting Wenzong's high position!
"No, if you read Taibai's poems, you will feel like the sky is about to fall!"
"Appeared in the 30th place at the beginning!"
"It is already comparable to a master who has entered the hall, rather than a master who has just entered the threshold."
"This is not the key. Come and watch his reputation increase..."
"...It's really dark clouds that are threatening to destroy the city..."
Taibai, who is at the forefront of May, has attracted a large number of people's attention.
But when everyone saw the speed at which Taibai's ranking improved, they couldn't help but rub their eyes, for fear that they had seen it wrong.
Qinglian's fame has increased at a speed that makes people feel crazy, but Taibai makes many scribes feel suffocated.
This is not a small fight before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
This damn girl is competing for the top spot on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year!
But did your speed increase come from drinking the Shiquan Dabu Decoction?
A brilliant ride!
The momentum of increasing speed is even better than Qinglian!
The twenty-ninth, the twenty-eighth... the twentieth!
In just one hour, Taibai's "The Journey of the Northern Territory Administrator" climbed to the 20th place.
The poems of masters were trampled underfoot one after another, without even a chance to resist.
However, this improvement is still continuing and is even getting more intense.
All the scribes who paid attention to Taibai almost knelt on the ground.
After Guan Xingren read "The Journey of the Northern Governor", he immediately paid tribute to the author.
It looks like a poem, but it is like a stunning painting depicting the battlefield in the north.
Different from "Beiliang Ci" which is limited to a banquet scene.
"Northern Governor's Journey" includes the battlefield world.
The momentum is majestic, like a master of painting, every word is so strong that it makes people's hearts tremble, as if the northern battlefield has been brought before everyone's eyes.
"Taibai has never disappointed anyone..."
Guan Xingren spread out the rice paper and tried to decipher the song "The Journey of the Northern Governor". He even forgot about the rice dumplings being cooked in the pot.
Guan Xingren is not alone. Almost everyone who has watched "The Journey of the Northern Governor" was dumbfounded.
This poem is not just a poem, but also a masterpiece's painting.
This kind of poetry is strange and appropriate at the same time.
I have never seen anyone able to write battlefield poetry like this.
The ranking of "Northern Governor's Journey" is still rising rapidly.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, there is a huge competition for the ranking. Every time you advance one place, it is extremely difficult.
However, for Taibai, he is like the person standing on the wave of the tide, leading the "Northern Governor's Journey" all the way.
All the poems and articles in front of him were chopped off the horse.
…
Jiaofangsi,
After Annan and Zhou Ziyu saw "The Northern Governor's Journey", they looked at each other and saw each other's wry smile.
"I'm just asking why that guy isn't in a hurry." Zhou Ziyu took a deep sip of the Erguotou bought from Wangfuji.
"With a poem like this, it's like a massacre, and everyone who comes will die."
Annan's beautiful willow eyes had a complicated expression, "Brother Li is really..."
"Thanks to us worrying about him, he ended up sitting on the Diaoyutai."
"Do you think he was secretly laughing at us at that time? He was laughing at us that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuchs were in a hurry?"
Zhou Ziyu spit out a mouthful of wine, "It seems that I am the most anxious eunuch..."
Annan couldn't help but laugh, lying on Cai Yi's shoulder, laughing non-stop, "Brother Zhou, you are also one of a kind."
"What do you think Brother Li is doing now?" Zhou Ziyu rolled his eyes and asked.
Annan's laughter gradually subsided, and the corners of his mouth slowly dropped, "Today, I must be staying at home to spend time with his sister-in-law and little sister."
"Now...you should be cooking rice dumplings?"
Zhou Ziyu suddenly stood up and said, "Damn it, I'm not happy about it. Let's go and eat rice dumplings at Brother Li's house."
Annan's eyes flickered, he pursed his lips, and then nodded, "Okay, let's go to Brother Li's house for dinner."
…
The list of literary saints in May is booming.
The crazy speed of Taibai's "The Northern Governor's Journey" made the literary world of the Jin Dynasty lose its voice.
to noon,
"Yanmen Taishou's Journey" climbed to the tenth place!
Second only to the Eight Wenzongs and Qinglian.
At the same time, a master took a literary name from "The Journey to the Northern Territory" and the whole country was shocked!
