Chapter 165: For the sake of Emperor Maode, I rushed to the duck...

Poetry gatherings are almost every year, but most of them are during the New Year festivals, such as the Lantern Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, etc.

The big chambers of commerce in various places invested and won over talents in order to gain a reputation and gain some talent. Don’t underestimate this talent. This dynasty advocates civil governance, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and businessmen have the lowest status. Although they have a wealth of family and have no worries about food and clothing, they are also coveted. In this way, this talent is often a life-saving life.

For scholars, making their mark at various poetry meetings can not only gain talent, but also pave the way for their future.

But in Bianliang there are subtle differences.

There are many rich families here, and there are countless wealthy families. Even if the merchants are rich, they can't speak. The poems here will be more high-end, elegant and upscale. Generally, famous scholars, great scholars or famous figures can hold poetry meetings. It is not enough to have money alone, otherwise others will not appreciate their faces. Appreciating their faces is to lose their identity.

For scholars, it is almost impossible to get to the top of the poems in Bianliang. The competition between students and celebrities gathered in Bianliang is by no means comparable to that of ordinary local prefectures, but competition also means opportunities.

The reputation that any poetry fair in Bianliang can be among the top is unimaginable. If the poetry fair in the local prefectures is limited to local propaganda, no one will know that it is even more powerful than the prefectures. But Bianliang is different. At the foot of the emperor, people from all over the country always gather here. As long as there is a turbulence, it will spread thousands of miles. For this reason, if you can become famous in Bianliang, it will basically be known to everyone in the world.

Moreover, there are countless dignitaries and nobles in Bianliang and many officials in the court. If anyone is attracted by the poems, he can also gain a good future.

Therefore, as long as it is a poetry gathering, countless scholars will squeeze their heads and try their best to make a name for themselves and leave a good impression in front of their elders. Rather than a poetry gathering, it can be regarded as a social dance party in the upper class, but people here will not watch you dance well, but what they read is whether the poems are well written.

There are several large-scale poetry meetings in Bianliang every year, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Festival, the Lantern Festival Poetry Festival, the Apricot Blossom Poetry Festival, etc.

The Apricot Blossom Poetry Festival is also called the Qingming Poetry Festival, but the word Qingming is too bad, so I borrowed the last sentence from Du Mu's poem "Qingming" and the shepherd boy pointed to the word Apricot blossom in the Apricot Blossom Village from afar. In addition, it was because there was such an apricot blossom forest in the Bianliang city, which was seen by Emperor Huizong of Song, so the Apricot Blossom Poetry Festival was found.

The Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Festival and the Lantern Festival Poetry Festival were held by the Bianliang government, and the famous literary giants were invited.

The Apricot Blossom Poetry Festival was held by Emperor Huizong of Song. Although the literary giants occasionally came back, it was mainly held for the talented and beautiful women in Bianliang.

For example, Li Qingzhao was famous at the Apricot Blossom Poetry Club. She accidentally entered the depths of lotus flowers. She fought for ferry and flew, which shocked a bunch of gulls and herons, making Li Xiaoshu famous all over the world.

Many ministers were attracted by Song Huizong at the Apricot Blossom Poetry Conference and rose to prominence.

That's why so many young talents want to make a name for themselves at the Apricot Flower Poetry Conference, so as to enter the eyes of Emperor Huizong of Song and become the new generation of Gao Qiu and Li Bangyan.

Ximen Qing also made this idea.

As long as you can catch his eyes and have the same hobbies as his, you will basically be reused. For example, Gao Qiu, who likes playing football like Song Huizong, is also a Melo on the court, so he catches Song Huizong's eyes, like Cai Jing, who likes calligraphy as much as Song Huizong. At this time, Cai Jing's calligraphy can be said to be extremely excellent. Not to mention the first, the top three can still be ranked.

There is also Zhou Bangyan, who likes Li Shishi like Song Huizong. Although he was almost exiled, the ending was also good. In the end, he was able to talk to Song Huizong about Li Shishi in bed...

The great officials are good at literature and martial arts, football, basketball, table tennis, volleyball, and badminton. Although their calligraphy is not very good, we also like Li Shishi. Not only Li Shishi, but also your daughter...

Thinking of this, the high-ranking official couldn't help but smile in his heart.

I came inside with Zhang Jun. There were blooming apricot blossom trees everywhere, and a pavilion was built in a forest of apricot blossoms.

Connecting the pavilion are the red painted railings twisted and rounded, and the emerald green glazed eaves are flying in the air.

The great official, who thought there was only one apricot blossom forest and a pavilion, was stunned in an instant. This was built so rich!

But that's true. After all, this is a poetry club created by Zhao Ji, and it is normal to build it so beautifully.

Zhao Ji is a guy who loves enjoyment especially. If he has something to do with his superiors, he will definitely be even more powerful. The Song Dynasty is so rich that he can lose his playing games, and he is also considered a talent.

Li Qingzhao's entry made most of the people present pay great attention, while no one of the officials often cared about it.

There are not a thousand or eight hundred talents from Bianliang who came to this Apricot Blossom Poetry Festival today. Although Ximen Qing has some fame in Yanggu County, he has no fame in Bianliang.

It has to be said that the Song Dynasty and the Red Mansions world are still very different. In the Red Mansions world, there will basically be no men playing poetry gatherings for girls, and there will be no women in men's poetry gatherings.

Men and women still value great defense.

But in the Song Dynasty, there were not so many things. Just like this Xinghua Poetry Festival, not only many talented men came, but also many young ladies came here, and they were all good at writing, talking and socializing.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and life is nothing more than fame and fortune.

Especially in places where there are women, these romantic talented men will not miss any opportunity to show off.

At this moment, a man and a few women came from a distance.

Several women were wearing tender yellow palace outfits, with graceful and dignified figures, clear and elegant faces, soft smiles, and slightly charming.

Especially one of them had a terrifying fallen horse bun on his head, and a trembling golden-inlaid jade-silver phoenix swayed in his hair, making his lips red and white, look even more peerless.

The man in the lead was wearing a white robe, holding a jade fracture fan in his hand, a jade belt wrapped around his waist, and a jade head with a jade head on his head.

The face is square and majestic, the skin is fair and the eyes are so bright. How could it be so coquettish between you?

Seeing this person, everyone stood up. Although they didn't say anything, they all expressed their respect.

"This is the current official family. This Apricot Blossom Poetry Association is held by the official family. If there is no special situation, the official family will come." Zhang Jun said in a low voice.

Only then did Ximen Qing look at the man, is this Song Huizong?

She looks pretty good, although she is not very handsome, but she is also quite handsome.

Of course, it is a bit worse than the high-ranking officials.

After Zhao Ji walked up, everyone below shouted long live.

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "All up. Today is a poetry meeting. There are no monarch and ministers at this time, but only talented men and beautiful women. I am waiting for the masterpieces of all the talents today."

When everyone heard this, they were all very excited and their faces were rosy. This was an official family and most people would never see it in their lifetime. What an honor it would be to listen to their poems today.

Zhao Ji comes every year, and after he comes every year, he will be criticized by the ministers when he goes back, but Zhao Ji doesn't care. If he gets used to it, it doesn't matter.

After Zhao Ji came, the poetry meeting officially began. After all, no one can make the current official wait.

Li Bangyan said: "Your Majesty also asks you to start the project!"

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll set up the question."

According to the rules of the Apricot Flower Poetry Conference, the first question is given by Zhao Ji, and the subsequent question is taken out of the box as the test question.

The scale of the Apricot Blossom Poetry Festival is second only to the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Festival and the Lantern Festival Poetry Festival. It can rank third among all poetry festivals, which can be said to be the top poetry festival.

If you can write a good poem at a poetry meeting, it will spread throughout Bianliang City within a moment or three moments.

Li Qingzhao's poem "Li Meng Ling" back then, "Luoyang paper is expensive, it's not just a joke. Who doesn't know the reputation of Li Xiaomao, the Li family?

Zhao Ji looked at the talented men present and continued, "Talented men, if anyone has written a masterpiece of good poems, I will not be stingy with rewards."

When the talents present heard this, they were all rubbing their hands. Originally, they were just here to hook up with the little lady, but now when they heard that there was a reward, they naturally had to show twelve points of talent.

After all, the Apricot Flower Poetry Club has not had a famous poem that has been famous throughout the Song Dynasty for two years. If it was written by itself, it would not be said that it has passed down through the ages, at least it would have caught the eye of Song Huizong.

Ximen Qing naturally won’t miss this opportunity.

When it comes to poetry, I have never been afraid of anyone.

One Nalan Rongruo beats everyone present.

The high-ranking officials are very confident, and the others are naturally very confident.

Not far away, several people were talking, and one of them said, "Young Master Cai, you are a famous talented man, and you must have a masterpiece this time."

Mr. Cai had a beautiful family, wearing a beige soft smoke silk shirt, and a dark red vortex rhinoceros belt around his waist, looking a bit talented.

This person's name is Cai Yan, and he is a famous talented man in Bianliang City. His father is Prime Minister Cai Jing.

Cai Yan was Cai Jing's fifth son, who later married Emperor Maode. At this time, Emperor Huizong of Song had already intentionally selected the son-in-law for Emperor Maode, and Cai Yan was one of them.

Cai Yan also heard about this, so he naturally planned to perform well at this apricot blossom poetry meeting in the hope of winning the favor of Zhao Ji and Zhao Fujin.

However, although he was willing to show his intention, he could not say that. After hearing a few people, Cai Hua quickly said modestly: "The emperor has outstanding people and talented people, and there are so many talented people and literary masters. It is already a blessing to see the official family. As for the leader of the poetry club, Cai can only do his best..."

Several scholars around him all praised him when they heard this: "Brother Cai is not only talented, but also his character is a role model for us!"

Those who can be with Cai Huang are all hoping to hold the Cai family's thigh.

Cai Yan's father is now the prime minister of the court. He is below one person and above ten thousand people. They can't do it if they want to hold Cai Jing's thighs, but they can start with Cai Jing's son.

This Cai Yan is just right!

When the talents present heard this, they were all rubbing their hands. Originally, they were just here to hook up with the little lady, but now they heard that they had rewards, so they naturally had to show their talents. After all, the Apricot Flower Poetry Club has not had a famous poem that has been famous throughout the Song Dynasty for two years. If they wrote it themselves, they would not only be famous throughout the ages, but at least they could catch the eyes of Song Huizong.
