Chivalrous Song Dynasty

The whole Aoshan Mountain is hung with colorful lanterns, and the color of the lanterns is green, like a fairyland on earth.There is a two-story pavilion built on the highest point of the mountain, called the Viewing Pavilion.

Overlooking the city from the second floor of the viewing pavilion, the city is a sea of ​​lights, and fire trees and silver flowers are lit on the sea from time to time, colorful and dazzling.

Zhao Ji stood by the railing with his hands behind his back. Seeing this bustling scene, he couldn't help but feel very poetic, "I want to draw a picture and write a poem for this scene."

His excitement was beyond words, which reminded Bai Sheng of Song Xiaofeng, a later duo actor.

The maid next to him hurriedly fetched the Four Treasures of the Study and the painting brush Danqing, and Zhao Ji splashed ink on it. On the thin paper of a "Lantern Lantern Scenery", the inscription was drawn, and the beautiful thin gold calligraphy jumped out.

Throwing away the brush in his hand, Zhao Ji chanted:

"Dragon Shadow was late at night on the screen, frowning and thinking about the stars.

Tears destroy the dreams of beauties and concubines, and worry locks the artistic feelings of ministers.

Serving paper pens, cutting silver lamps, Jiangshan does not love Danqing.

The golden drum is passed around the border day and night, and it is translated into a fragrant song and drunk. "

All the ministers are experts in poetry appreciation and analysis, and immediately cheered in unison, and Cai Jing flattered him without hesitation: "The partridge sky by the official family is extremely well done! The first one at the Yuanxi Poetry Club is none other than the official family." !"

Flattery also pays attention to order. Lao Cai is a great Confucianist in the world. With him present, he must be the first to shoot flattery about literature. If others dare to presume, then wait until later to wear small shoes.

Zhao Ji's "Partridge Sky" kicked off the curtain of the Yuanxi Poetry Conference.

Chapter 371 Li Qingzhao Releases Water

Strictly speaking, Lao Cai's comments cannot be regarded as a flattery without a bottom line principle, because Zhao Ji's partridge sky shows his literary skills, and it also responds to the situation and integrates the current war on the Western Front into it, which is indeed rare. masterpieces of poetry.

Except for Bai Sheng and some generals and eunuchs, the other courtiers are experts in this field, so after Cai Jima passed by, everyone followed suit.

Undoubtedly, if the song "Partridge Sky" composed by the emperor himself is included in the selection of tonight's poetry meeting, there are definitely not many works that can surpass him.

Facing the praises of the officials, Zhao Ji showed very modesty, waved his hands and said: "I am just writing a poem impromptu, how can I compete with the talents of the Song Dynasty? I can't do it, I can't do it!"

There is another layer of meaning in these words, that is, my poems are so meaningful, if they are rated as the first, wouldn't it suppress all the candidates who pursue Maode Diji?

Whether you Bai Sheng, Chen Dong and Zhou Qin can win the first place depends on your ability. As a girl, my father will not put pressure on you. When you are defeated by others, you can't say that I am right You discriminate.

Now that the poetry meeting had opened, Cai Jing read out the topic: the requirement is to write a poem, and there is no limit to the lyrics, but the content must be in line with the situation, and the artistic conception of the words and sentences should be closely related to the current situation, such as the partridge sky that the emperor just made.

This topic is not difficult, but it is a test for each contestant's improvisation. It is not difficult to achieve poetry in seven steps like Cao Zijian, but the quality of poetry is difficult.

Who wouldn't know how to chant a doggerel casually?Not to mention all parts of the world, but only the literati gathered on the top of Mount Ao, basically everyone can do it, even those harem concubines and concubines can do it, but the quality is different.

Poems with a high level are not only rhyming and catchy, but also the content can fully reflect the author's literary skills and life experience, or quote from classics, or quote from sources, which can be described as pearls of words and exquisite sentences.

There are many high-level poets and poets.

As far as these literati who were born as Jinshi are concerned, everyone’s knowledge is basically the same, and they are all at the level of memorizing the Four Books and Five Classics. It can be said that everyone can quote the same materials, so how to compare the works of these people on this basis? High or low?

This requires a comparison of styles, minds, and courage.Still taking Zhao Ji's "Partridge Sky" as an example, the last couplet "The golden drum is passed around the border day and night, translated into a fragrant song and listened to while drunk." It reflects the calm side of his character.

So what if you, Xi Xia, repeatedly violated the border?Dude, although I live deep in the palace, I am not afraid of you. Dude, I will defeat you sooner or later.So I only think that the charging drums and the retreating Mingjin are the rhythm of the song.

This calmness can also be seen as a kind of mind and courage.

If it were someone else, he would either be worried every day and pay attention to the battle situation at the border without thinking about food and drink, or he would completely forget about it and just indulge in sensuality, but Zhao Ji was in the middle of it. I will hang on to this thing every day.

With this partridge celestial pearl and jade in front of it, there are not many people who dare to export it at will. Most people are searching their brains and thinking hard. Even if the words and sentences they write are not as good as the emperor, they can't be too bad, right?

While people were thinking, Li Shishi walked up to Bai Sheng and asked softly, "Teacher asked me to ask you if you really want to marry Zhao Fujin."

It cannot be said that Li Shishi came with Li Qingzhao, the fact is on the contrary, Li Qingzhao came with Li Shishi.

The so-called Li Qingzhao must participate in the poetry meeting, in fact, there has been an imperial edict.Before Zhao Ji changed the Lantern Festival to February [-], he made this decree.

The imperial decree required Li Qingzhao to bring his students to participate in the poetry meeting. On the surface, it seemed that he was inviting a famous poetess, but in fact he had another purpose.

Li Qingzhao didn't want to compete with Zhou Bangyan at first, if there was no such edict, she would never have come to join in the fun.

For a moment, Bai Sheng didn't understand what Li Qingzhao meant by asking this question, so he asked Li Shishi back: "What if you really want to marry? So what if you don't really want to marry?"

Li Shishi said: "The teacher said, if you really want to marry, she won't improvise."

Li Qingzhao means that if she improvises, it doesn't matter whether she can get the first place, but at least Bai Sheng's works are not as good as hers. As long as her words are written, it is tantamount to Bai Sheng's. hope.

After Bai Sheng understood it, he was very grateful, so he accepted the favor and said, "You tell your teacher, just say that I thank her."

Li Shishi immediately returned to his seat and told Li Qingzhao, who nodded to Bai Sheng from afar.

Li Qingzhao and Bai Sheng were sitting around the downstairs of the viewing pavilion.

Neither Li Qingzhao's mentor nor Bai Sheng is eligible to stay on the second floor of the viewing pavilion.

On the second floor of the viewing pavilion, apart from Zhao Ji's empress, favorite concubine and Maode Diji, there were only Cai Jing, Tong Guan and Lin Lingsu.

Cai Jing is senior, powerful, and high-status, while Tong Guan and Lin Lingsu are bodyguards.Zhao Fujin would not be sitting upstairs if someone hadn't wanted to become famous in one fell swoop through the poetry meeting and get the qualification to marry Zhao Fujin.

Even Prince Zhao Heng, King Yun Zhao Kai and King Kang Zhao Gou all sat downstairs, not to mention those Empresses whose status was far inferior to princes?

Li Qingzhao intended to let the water go, but Zhao Ji was a little impatient, because he had waited for a long time and no one had submitted his work, so the poetry meeting seemed a little cold.

As soon as he was in a hurry, he set up apportionment, so a eunuch delivered an order: "There is an order from the Holy Spirit, and Li Qingzhao is ordered to write the lyrics."

Li Qingzhao had no choice but to disobey the sacred order, so she had no choice but to write down a song "Yong Yu Le" that she had filled out more than ten days ago to make up the number:

"The setting sun melts gold, the evening clouds merge, where is the man?

Dye the willow smoke thick, blow the plum flute to complain, how much do you know about the spring?

During the Lantern Festival, when the weather is harmonious, how can there be no wind and rain?

Come to call, sweet car BMW, thank him for drinking, friends and poets.

On a prosperous day in Zhongzhou, there is a lot of leisure in the boudoir, so remember to put more emphasis on three or five.

Spread emerald crowns, twist golden snow willows, and fight to help Chu.

Now haggard, with wind and frost on her temples, afraid of going out at night.

It's better to listen to people's laughter under the curtain. "

This poem was written by her on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of this year. At that time, the whole city was looking for Bai Sheng but couldn't find it. It happened that she also wanted to find Bai Sheng to get together but couldn't do so. Under the melancholy, she wrote this poem Chat to express feelings.

It stands to reason that the quality of this song Yong Yu Le is very high, whether it is the beauty of the words or the lingering artistic conception, it can be called a top-notch product.But it is not suitable for the current situation, because it is already dark at night, and the scenery described in this poem is in the evening.

Of course Li Qingzhao understood this truth.The reason why she used this poem to make up the number was to let water out on purpose.At the same time, I also want Bai Sheng to use this poem to understand her mood on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
