Crown Tang emperor

Another reason for the abundance of guests is that the name of Shaowang's poem is magnificent.The story "Luoyang Daughter's Journey" has become popular in both Beijing and Beijing with the passage of time, so that it has become one of the repertoires in the Fengyue Field of the God City to evaluate the singing and music skills of actors.Not to mention the spectacular scene of a new song and a crowd of people playing this evening.

So at the moment, the discussion in the hall is mainly about Shao Wang's new work "Youth Journey". The literati are unavoidable to be honest and arrogant. Even if they discuss it face to face, they are not all good words. There are many vulgar tastes in the market, which are not as good as the talents of Shaowang's previous articles.

What's more, let's say that the first chapter is shallow and airy, and the only good one is the epilogue "Where did the falling flowers go to swim, laughing into the Orchid's wine shop".

Li Tong was not surprised by this. In fact, the author of Li Bai's "Youth Journey" was already quite questionable.Especially compared with Wang Wei's "Youth Walk", only the second two couplets and four sentences can be compared.But even market talk has its own audience.He wrote this article, and he didn't intend to let the scholars praise it.

Qiao Zhizhi was worried that the young king was high-spirited. As a warm-up expert, he quickly changed the subject, pointed at Shen Quanqi and said with a smile: "A few days ago, Xueshi Shen sent me the ancient tune "I Don't See You", which is full of charm. ", I don't know if you can enjoy the elegance and interest together?"

After hearing the words, everyone in the hall became very interested. The old poems of Shaowang were all the rage. There were many people present who loved this poem and proposed new works.Hearing Qiao Zhizhi's evaluation at this moment, he was naturally curious.

After Li Tong heard this, he also glanced at Shen Quanqi who was full of reserved smiles, and couldn't help but feel happy.In fact, Shen Quanqi's "Unseen" has already been copied out, but with the deepening of friendship, it is not easy to use it when it is not easy to use. Unexpectedly, under his own stimulation, he actually wrote it out in advance.

Amidst the shouts of the crowd, Qiao Zhizhi began to sing in front of the crowd. The first couplet was sung, and the house was full of applause. After the whole poem was sung, the praise was endless.

Li Tong also applauded and applauded in the banquet, and he did not hesitate to praise. As one of Shen Quanqi's masterpieces, this song "I Don't See It" is naturally of an extremely high level.When it comes to the application of skills, it is actually better than Wang Wei's "Luoyang Daughter's Journey".After all, Wang Wei's juvenile study is better than Lixin, but it is far from reaching the level of his peak period.

"It's a pity that the score of the speech and the music are set, and we can no longer go back to the old story of the king's mansion discussing with all the voices."

After Qiao Zhizhi finished singing, he said with regret.

During the meeting, Song Zhiwen laughed and said: "It's not difficult to restore the old things. The old title of "Single Seen" by the Yuefu is not the same. Today, the demeanor of the people in the hall is not inferior to the old one. Why don't we all come up with new speeches for the test association? "

While speaking, he looked at the young king again: "It's a great pity that I didn't have an on-site lecture a few days ago. I wonder if I'm lucky enough to be able to teach the king today?"

Li Tong was smiling, but he was cursing Song Zhiwen secretly in his heart. He looked like a dog, and sure enough, a dog couldn't spit out ivory, so he unexpectedly attacked him!

After pondering for a while, he raised his hand and called Yang Sixu to whisper in his ear, and then he looked at the crowd who were eager to try: "Gathering people to be elegant, making people happy. You are talented and eager to show off, and when will you make a good story! "

When the people heard this, their thoughts changed, and they all asked the servants and maids of the palace for paper and pens, and they began to chant at the table.

Not long after, Yang Sixu went and came back, followed by more than a dozen servants and maidservants, each entrusting pearls, jade and beautiful embroidered utensils, one by one to display in the hall, and for a while in the hall's shining room, full of precious aura, it attracted people's attention.

"The display of vulgar objects is not for fascination. The colorful objects are invited with pearls and pearls. Thousands of gold are easy to get, but talents are hard to find. All the things in the hall are just waiting for you to pick them up!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar and applause in the hall, flashy and squinting, who can calm down?

On the one hand, Li Tong was stimulated by his aunt. On the other hand, there is no shortage of such jewelry items. It is useless to keep them at home, and it is not easy to take them out for pawn sale. After all, they are all sent by wealthy merchants in Nanshi for advertising. Things, so take advantage of this opportunity to display them for fun.

"Scholars of the Song Dynasty set up new guest seats. I don't know how elegant they are. There are also all kinds of things for picking."

Aren't you going to make a surprise attack on me?Be ashamed if your poetry doesn't get a lot of applause later on.

When Song Zhiwen heard this, his expression was a little stagnant. Although he was also conceited about his poetic talent, he really didn't have the confidence to write a poem comparable to Shen Quanqi's painstakingly written poem in a short period of time.

"My Majesty Doesn't Love Chinese Artifacts and Aihua Chapter, it's generous and admirable. I don't know if there are true love miscellaneous in it. If I can't keep the wonderful writing, I'm afraid it will be a pity that it will be lost."

Hearing this, Li Tong felt even more certain that the old boy was here to find fault today.If he says that there is no favorite thing in it, then what is displayed is second-rate stuff.If you don't join in, you will be ridiculed for being cowardly.

Song Zhiwen indeed had this idea. He was entrusted by the Wu family to participate in Princess Taiping's wedding ceremony to cheer for the Wu family, but the young king's recent unstoppable popularity also made him a little worried.At that time, if the talent flow invited by the two parties is too unequal, not only the Wu family will be embarrassed, but Song Zhiwen will also suffer greatly.

He didn't expect to be able to overwhelm Shen Quanqi, but if he could beat the young king later on, it would be considered as achieving his goal.

After pondering for a while, Li Tong raised his hand and ordered Yang Sixu to fetch the pen and paper, first smiled at Song Zhiwen, then picked up the pen and began to write.Today's matter, he was indeed a little caught off guard, and the purpose of displaying precious goods was also to delay time.

Now that I have a score in mind, I may not be able to surpass Shen Quanqi's poems, but it is not difficult to make a good poem that surpasses Song Zhiwen.

Song Zhiwen raised his eyebrows when he saw the young king picking up the pen, and he picked up the pen and began to chant carefully. He had just written the first couplet, but saw that the young king had put down the brush in his hand and was looking at him with a smile.

Seeing this scene, Song Zhiwen felt a little cramped and flustered, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and focused on the pen and paper on his case without distraction.

Li Qiao, Shen Quanqi, Yuan Banqian and others did not participate in the teasing, and were pushed as a straight case by everyone.Seeing the young Wang Shicheng, they secretly disagreed in their hearts.

When the slaves presented the young king's poems, they were not surprised to see the five-character ancient meaning. "Lonely Seen" is originally a five-character grievance song on the old Yuefu title. Shen Quanqi's seven-character law is based on Shaowang's "Luoyang Daughter's Journey", and it has been carefully prepared for many days. Naturally, it cannot be compared to this kind of occasional play.

Several people had read the poems written by the young king, and their faces were different. Shen Quanqi couldn't help but make a gesture of cupping his hands at the young king. He just didn't make a sound so as not to disturb the others in the hall, but others could also see that this was a gesture to the young king. admire.

Afterwards, poems were submitted one after another, and Li Qiao and others began to seriously evaluate them, annotating and grading according to their own opinions.Those who completed the poems looked up at the case, but saw that among the classified poems, none of them could be listed in the list of Shaowang's poems, they were disappointed and even more curious.

Song Zhiwen originally wrote the end of the couplet, but after noticing this scene, he stopped writing and turned over a new paper to write again. This is obviously a bit timid.

Finally, when Song Zhiwen finished writing, there was already a faint sweat on his forehead, and everyone in the hall also submitted their poems in a hurry.

Li Qiao and others were also quite curious about Song Zhiwen's poems. After seeing Song Zhiwen's writing, they quickly took them for circulation, and exchanged opinions in whispers. After a while, they stacked Song Zhiwen's poems on the Below the young king.

"It's just a few people in the case talking about it, and the merits and demerits of the talents are still pending public trial."

Although Li Qiao said so, Song Zhiwen's face had become a little ugly. Looking at this posture, it was clear that Zhian and the others had decided that his poems were not as good as the young king.

Chapter 0213

There were hundreds of people in the hall, but only more than 30 poems were actually handed in.

Things like poetry are difficult and difficult to say, and easy to say.If the psychological quality is strong, face and the like are all external objects, the emperor Qianlong and the dog-meat general Zhang Zongchang of the later Shiquan old man can also write well, and they can be called two great poets.

But this kind of psychological quality is not something that ordinary people can have. Today, if you don’t count the older generation of scholars, you can be called the elite of the scholarly elite. If you feel that you can't make a punchline, then you just give up. It's better to hide your clumsiness than to show your ugliness.

Li Qiao and the others selected among the submitted poems, and gathered more than a dozen poems that they thought were worthy of public appreciation. The remaining ones had obvious major problems, so they didn't waste everyone's time.

After the list was selected, Li Tong raised his hand to signal that young actors from the inner teaching workshop came forward to sing for the public. Although it was only a Qing song without rhythm, the female voice was clear and melodious, and the tone was soft, and it also had a simple charm .

As the singing sounded, everyone in the hall listened attentively, but when someone noticed that he was singing his work, he couldn't help but smile.Even if the ranking is not high, being selected on such an occasion is already worth boasting about.

The appreciation level of Li Qiao and others is still reliable and convincing. After singing ten songs in a row, there is basically no objection.For example, Zhang Shuo, Xu Jian, etc. are all listed, especially Zhang Shuo, who imitated Shen Quanqi's seven rhythms of transformation. Although it is only quite satisfactory, it is far less stunning and beautiful than Shen Quanqi's poems, but in terms of difficulty, it has surpassed other poems. People follow the five words in the old style.

There were fewer and fewer poems on the case, and the atmosphere in the hall became more and more quiet. Everyone held their breaths and concentrated, fearing that they would miss out on masterpieces.

In the end, when there were only three manuscripts of poems left, only actors were left in the hall, and the singing was done by Cui Rong.After reading a poem, the house immediately burst into applause.

Cui Rong was originally a writer who was not inferior to Li Qiao, although his talent was more reflected in his articles.However, he had returned from the defeat of Wei Taiji's western expedition, and now he is still in the white body of his sin. He recalled Zhenghu in a resentful woman's tone, which can be described as empathetic and sincere. Applause.

After Cui Rong's poems, there are Song Zhiwen's poems. The actor sang: "The autumn cold shines on the bitter moon, and the long darkness accumulates sorrowful clouds..."

Li Tong also listened carefully at the banquet. It should be said that Song Zhiwen has the capital of conceit. He is a master of palace style poetry. Although he wrote it in a hurry, this poem is also remarkable.According to the real level, Li Tong is naturally hard to match, but who will compete with your real level!

After the Song poems were sung, there were discussions in the hall. Many people felt that although the Song poems were cold and elegant, the complaints remained on paper, which was a little less meaningful than Cui's poems.

There is no accurate measure for the length of meaning.In fact, Li Qiao also felt that his friend Cui Rong's poems were slightly better than half a point, but even though he made friends through writing, he couldn't completely ignore other elements.

Cui Rong is currently wearing a sinful body, but Song Zhiwen is waiting for an imperial edict from the Qinggui Hongwen Museum, and he slightly pressures Cui Rong, because he doesn't want him to be angry with others because of his temper.

Now everyone started discussing and sang the two poems several times. In the end, Song Zhiwen had to praise a few lines of Cui's poems, so the two poems were temporarily listed as equals.

But after this result came out, Xu Jian, who was present at the left hall, raised his hand and spoke out, saying that Song Zhiwen's first couplet of poems was adapted from a previous work, which was once used as an elegy for a certain general.

Xu Jian had a wide range of knowledge and records, and now he is helping to edit the rites in Lintai, searching for his old books. After pointing out this point, he simply stood up and read the elegy through again.

Seeing that his little friend is so good, Li Tong silently gave Xu Jian a thumbs up in his heart.

Song Zhiwen's face became a little ugly. In fact, it's not a big deal for a poet to use his old poems on the spot, after all, they are all thought of by one person.So after Xu Jian pointed out this point, there was no criticism from the crowd.

However, the competition for on-the-spot teaching is originally the talent.Just now Cui Shi and Song Shi have been discussed as equals, and now it is discovered that Song Shi is playing tricks, so the evaluation of Song Shi will naturally be a little lower.

The outcome of a poem is just ordinary, and others don't think so, but Song Zhiwen originally pointed at the young king this time, but now Cui Rong has overwhelmed him. He still doesn't know how the young king's poems are, so he is naturally full of embarrassment and shyness .

Finally, the actor picked up the long-awaited poem of the young king and sang: "Who is the son of the white horse, and the frontier fortress of the Yellow Dragon. The snow on the Tianshan Mountains is three feet long, how can it be when you travel far..."

Li Tong remembered a few pieces of the old Yuefu title "Unseen Alone", so to be on the safe side, he chose Li Bai's one.Although Li Bai's "Unseen" is far less amazing than other famous works handed down from generation to generation, after all, it is produced by Shixian, and it still has a degree of dimensionality reduction in the current era.

Sure enough, after the actors finished singing, the hall was full of praise and shouts. Cui Rong stood up directly from the table, and said to the young king: "Remembering the year of farewell to the king, I planted peaches to match the eyebrows. The peaches are more than a hundred feet old now. The flowers fall into dry branches. After a long absence, how can you not hurt yourself... Your Majesty is talented, his love touches his heart and soul, and he can't help but bow his head!"

Even Cui Rong conceded defeat, and Song Zhiwen had no room to argue, so he could only get up and leave the table to admit defeat.

"Occasionally, it's better to talk about sorrow, but to have fun, regardless of victory or defeat."

Li Tong stood up from the table with a smile, walked into the display of jewelry and Chinese wares, picked up a tortoiseshell pen holder decorated with vermilion, and then walked back to Shen Quanqi's table and said with a smile: "Although there is no Yujintang, I play with tortoiseshell pen holders." The utensils are given to the bachelor, and the bachelor is not tired of the simple, elegant acceptance."

"This, this is too precious!"

The tortoiseshell pen stand is colorful and decorated with precious stones and pearls of different sizes. Under the light, it is colorful, like a magnificent artifact salvaged from the Milky Way. .

"It has been said before that utensils should not be boasted, and they are the most rare. You all have beautiful articles, which make the walls of my hall colorful. How can you be stingy with all the vulgar and non-vulgar objects, pick and choose, and don't pay for it."

Hearing what the young king said, everyone in the hall became excited again, especially those who sang the names, their faces flushed with excitement.They thought that only the chief of the case would be able to teach them beautiful weapons, but they didn't expect that the young king's handwriting was so bold that he shared the benefits with everyone.

For a while, many people who hadn't submitted their poems before were also annoyed. They only felt that the poems of the few people in the back were not excellent.

Under the urging of the young king, Cui Rong stepped forward to attend, picked out a green jade ring buckle, and turned back with a smile to thank the young king.

Li Tong looked at Song Zhiwen again with a smile and said: "Xiao Wang's love is broad and broad, and there are still treasures in the hall setting. I don't know if the Song scholars can choose with the same interest."

Now he also has regrets in his heart, dealing with these cultural people is too strenuous, otherwise he can just say that you are a fool, isn't it quite capable, you go pick it, and if you pick something I love, you will directly chop off your hand!

Song Zhiwen felt a little embarrassed when he heard the words, and raised his hand and said: "Jokes and gossip, don't take it seriously. Your Majesty's brilliant writing skills, it's really hard to catch up with a humble job. I appreciate all kinds of utensils, I really appreciate it and feel ashamed."

He said this, not to mention what others think, anyway, the dozen or so people in the back line are itching their teeth with hatred, you guys are too rude, even if you want to talk about style, can you change the occasion!I was already optimistic about what to choose, but you blocked me!

Seeing that Song Zhiwen refused to be rewarded, Li Tong didn't let him go. This guy was clearly looking for trouble, and he felt distressed even after drinking two sips of wine from his house.He had already planned, if Song Zhiwen really didn't want to force his face to choose, he said that he would just choose his favorite thing, and then write a poem to exchange it back. In short, he couldn't let this guy take advantage of it!

Since Song Zhiwen is knowledgeable, it saves Li Tong's time.He turned his head to look at the people in the hall again, and said with a smile: "Today, all the talents gather together to discuss elegance, and give goods to reward the public. There is no reason for private treasury to be stingy." The feast is interesting, today you all have some extra time, and if you take things to describe the words, you will accept the poem as soon as it is completed. It is not for greed, but only for the promotion of talent!"

When everyone heard this, their interest became even higher. The young king's boldness really exceeded their imagination.There are heavy objects in the hall, all of which are of extraordinary quality. Among them, the precious ones may have a price but no market.And the young king also said it nicely, not because of greed for treasures, but just to show off his talent and wash away the smell of money, it's all about elegance.

Not to mention the excitement of the other crowd, one by one murmured ideas, anyway, the dozen or so people who were expected to get the precious goods first hated Song Zhiwen to the bone.If it weren't for Song Zhiwen's hypocrisy, they would have been able to pick up the treasures in order, so there is no need to compete with others!

"Can Xueshi Li enter the song first and act for the masses?"

Li Tong raised his hand and smiled at Li Qiao, this was originally the song he prepared.In the final analysis, he is not a person who loves money and goods in his bones. The reason why he cares about this aspect is only because many things to do need money.

No matter how good the precious goods are, they will not cure hunger and thirst.Those wealthy merchants were willing to send these precious goods to the palace for nothing in order to support the market, so he would not even lose the courage of those merchants.Originally, I was conceiving a live broadcast to bring goods, which would further reflect his commercial value. It happened to be this opportunity, and naturally it is better to enjoy it alone than to enjoy it with others.

After Li Qiao heard the words, he did not refuse. He walked down the hall and took a round fan with a sandalwood handle, and said with a smile: "Three autumn leaves can be untied, and February flowers can bloom. A thousand feet of waves across the river, and ten thousand poles of bamboo are slanted. There is no great king who can solve the problem because of the wind, thank you very much!"

With Li Qiao making samples, other people also joined in one after another. Seeing that the rare goods are getting less and less, some people who are not good enough can't help but feel flustered.

Li Tong simply raised his hand to signal for more treasures, and he himself took advantage of the pleasure to chant a few poems about things, such as "Color is the same as ice, and nothing is separated from dust". Rare goods.

"Wealth and honor are commonplace in my family, and poetry is only a matter of daily life and leisurely thinking. The scholars of the Song Dynasty are not chaotic, which is really frugal and frugal. It is difficult to make poetry interesting with ordinary things. Fortunately, there are other equipment outside the hall, which has its own stunning beauty and dance, so that it will not be so difficult Desolate and clear the guests, I hope the bachelor can revive his poems and make my hall beautiful!"

Li Tong glanced at Song Zhiwen who was sitting stiffly at the table without saying a word, he said politely, but sneered in his heart, dare to play a big knife in front of Guan Gong, can you walk out of this door easily?If you don't make you ashamed of poetry in front of me today, I will never give up!

When Song Zhiwen heard this, the smile on his face became stiffer, but his heart was full of regret, and he really didn't want to stay any longer.

Chapter 0214

In Longmen Bieye, the feast is still going on.

With the movement of the King of Hedong, the voices and the servants came to the hall one after another, and the atmosphere of the banquet was pushed to a new height.In the past period of time, the voice and music of the Prince's Mansion in Hedong became famous. Many people who came to the door today came to appreciate the singing and dancing.

Li Tong was also in high spirits tonight, he raised his hand to summon a Jiegu, and was about to lead the vocals himself.Seeing this scene, all the people in the hall cheered even louder. Before the music and dance started, some people couldn't help but left the table and danced.

Each era has its own ethos. At present, vocal and music skills are one of the compulsory courses for noble children.Even the Shandong aristocratic family, which is known for its rigorous family style, is not conservative in this regard.If you don't have considerable musical literacy, you will be seen as withdrawn and uninterested.

King Hedong had already set an example, and all the people in the middle seat got up one after another, selected their own instruments, and prepared to play a concerto.Even Yuan Banqian, who is not young, has chosen a musical instrument, Fang Xiang.

Song Zhiwen was still hesitating at the table, and when he was about to get up, there were no musical instruments for him to choose from, and it was quite awkward to sit alone in the table.

The clear and bright beats of the Jiegu drum sounded, and when they heard the drumbeat halfway through, many people present already knew that the upcoming performance was the Jianwu "Zhezhi Dance".A good Jiegu drummer not only needs to lead the rhythm of the whole piece of music, but also has the ability to control the atmosphere of the audience.

King Hedong's drum skills are superb, and the drums are like spring thunder and showers. Even though the people in the palace are chaotic and noisy, the bright and rapid drumbeats still spread clearly to every corner. stand up.

As soon as the drums sounded, the atmosphere was completely paved. Li Tong turned his elbows, and the drumsticks in his hands quickly brushed against the drum surface. Three times in a row, the drums sounded light and urgent.

Without hesitation, two figures in red shirts flashed from behind the screen, like colorful larks, throwing directly into the arena. The two orchids were tall and slim, dancing in the air, their movements were fit and enthusiastic, and soon attracted the attention of all the audience. They are all attracted and grabbed.

Such an unrestrained and beautiful picture confused the minds of the accompaniment musicians. One of the accompaniment aristocrats was a little breathless, and the sound of the pipe fell down, making it impossible for the other accompaniment instruments to respond.

Just when the rhythm was about to become chaotic, the sound of Jie drums suddenly became louder, and the dancing girl flicked through and danced in a hurry. The perfect coordination of sound and color quickly rescued the chaotic rhythm in an instant.

The sound of the drum under the young king's arm seems to have magical powers, and the two dancers are transformed into leaping elves in the movement, either stretching their arms and dancing, or twisting around the waist of a snake. The bright red flowers falling into the turbulent water are immersed in high and low with the waves flying up and down, making people dizzy.

The sound of dense drums suddenly sounded, and the drum music broke down, and then it stopped abruptly. The waves seemed to hit the rocky reefs on the shore heavily. It also bears ups and downs, and quietly disappears with the trickle poured into the cracks of the rock.

Everyone turned their minds back and looked again. The two orchids had already flashed behind the screen and disappeared.Some rash young people couldn't help shouting for another dance.

Leading the drum, Li Tong was covered in sweat. He threw down the drumsticks and nodded to the accompanists. He returned to the banquet and picked up the wine on the table.

After drinking the fine wine in the cup, Li Tong was also in a happy mood. He quickly wrote a poem and said with a big smile, "Let's sing and dance. Let's have fun tonight. I hope you will be generous and don't stay idle."

While speaking, another actor came forward to pay homage to the manuscript of the poem on the young king's case, and sang a cappella: "The brocade banquet is unfolding, and the painting drum is played three times to remind..."

"The son and grandson suddenly forgot to return, and danced lightly to serve the guests. If you don't enjoy yourself, you won't say goodbye!"

The Qing song is over, Li Tong smiled and looked at Song Zhiwen, whose expression was changing, and said with a smile: "A bachelor's talent is high in this world, Xiao Wang's new words are good at dancing, and you should respond to your elegant requests, be open-hearted, and don't be stingy. "

When Song Zhiwen heard this, his face became more cramped, especially when he heard the urging and clamoring in the hall, his forehead was dripping with sweat.He really didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly, and there was no room for retreat.

If it was said that he used his words to run on the young king with his self-reliance, even if the young king didn't respond, it was just a bit awkward in the atmosphere.But if he should not teach now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he would really offend the young king.

"Bo Cai has received such a generous reward from the King, how dare you refuse to teach?"

With fiery eyes all over the room, Song Zhiwen could only bite the bullet and agree, but he didn't have a clue in his heart.

After listening to Shaowang's "Song of Zhezhi", he was amazed. Both the rhythm and the poetry are impeccable. It can be called a master's work. There is no confidence to overcome, not to mention that the mood is disordered and there is no poetry at all.Now agreeing to it is nothing more than trying to compose the clumsy rhyme and deal with the present.
