Chapter 319 Come, let's look up at the sky and look for the moon
Chapter 319
I could only run not far away to find my horse tied outside the courtyard.
"Old Liu, tell me, if Yang Xiaoshu's water-melody song is so drunk, can it be a good word?"
"It's not a good word. Grandpa Wang can cry and laugh like crazy. It's not a good word. Why can Grandpa Wang go back in such a hurry?"
The two men discussed in a low voice while taking off their mounts, and saw the Imperial Guards Cavalry standing there with a melancholy look on his face, not knowing what to do.
He led the prince's horse to the Forbidden Army's cavalry.
"General, please go with our family first. Don't worry, no one will take your horse away. Our grandpa Wang did it to present a masterpiece to His Majesty."
"Thank you very much, young gentlemen." The Imperial Guards Cavalry quickly saluted the two of them, jumped on the prince's mount, and galloped away with the two of them.
At the same moment, Yang Qian was lying calmly on a bed, and the waiters on all sides carried the drunk and unconscious Yang Xiaoguan out of the courtyard with helpless expressions.
Next to him, there was a young eunuch arranged by the prince who kept urging him. "Hurry up and have the carriage ready outside. Please give way to the officials in front."
A group of poet ministers looked at Yang Xiaolangjun, who was lying on the bed board with confused expressions, looking like he didn't know what was going on, and smelling of alcohol.
"Father-in-law, why is this person drunk?"
"This is too unsatisfactory. Although wine can help with inspiration, being so drunk like this is really..."
The young eunuch did not dare to offend these ministers, so he smiled and said a few perfunctory words, and continued to get Yang Qian out of the courtyard.
After carefully putting the sleeping Yang Qian into the carriage, he rushed towards the literary gathering.
Pieces of rice paper were passed around. After being reviewed by the five arbiters, four of them made a cross, then they were thrown directly to one side and handed over to another group of arbiters on the other side. If four people still made a cross, then
Its destination is the wastebasket.
Those with only three crosses, or no crosses, will be sent to another group of arbiters.
They will review it again, and this time instead of making crosses, they will start making circles.
Then move it to another group of arbiters. If you still only get two circles here, put it in the wastebasket.
If you can get three circles here, then they will be copied on the rice paper, then covered on the lanterns that have been prepared long ago, light the lanterns, and then hang in the huge open space
.
Whenever a lantern is hung, someone will focus on it, or appreciate it carefully, or chant in a low voice.
Those who can be hung here have gone through many layers of selection. Just look at the discarded paper all over the ground, and then look at the less than a hundred lanterns that have been hung since nightfall until now.
, which shows the strictness of this screening.
Yang Guangze was lazily leaning on the couch, drinking wine. From time to time, a eunuch would lift a lantern to the front of the steps, and then an actor with a high and clear voice would loudly recite the water tune on the lantern.
.
Those noble dignitaries who could no longer maintain an upright posture at this moment, either reclining or sitting cross-legged, would sit on the rice paper placed by the eunuch in front of them, on top of the four excellent, good, middle and low
, find what you like and draw a circle.
Among the over a hundred people present, only those who are chosen as good by more than half are eligible to be passed on to Yang Guang.
If he found someone he liked, Yang Guang asked the eunuch to hand it over to the musicians under his command.
The actor sang slowly, accompanied by the musicians.
However, given Yang Guang's literary attainments and level, only one or two of the seven or eight works that are often submitted to him can be chosen.
Of course, some works of great masters do not need to go through such screening. They are directly presented by eunuchs for selection by noble dignitaries, aristocratic families, and literary figures, and then presented to His Majesty.
These people's actions will naturally not be mediocre.
Whether it is Liu Zhuo, the former doctor of Taixue, or Wang Tong, a leading figure in the literary world from a well-known family, or Yu Shiji, a poet whose talents are famous all over the world.
Their works have also been favored by Yang Guang.
However, for tonight, for this kind of literary event that is bound to attract the attention of the world, if the first work is too mediocre.
So, the influence and effect of this literary event will definitely be greatly reduced.
So at this moment, there are more than ten excellent works placed on Yang Guang's desk.
But that is only for other people, but it does not have the appeal that directly touches people's hearts and even the depths of their souls like Yang Qian's previous song "Looking to the South of the Yangtze River".
Listening to the singer's low singing and the exquisite musical instruments played by the palace musicians, Yang Guang continued to play chess and drink fine wine with Empress Xiao with great interest.
"Zhao Banban"
Without raising his head, Yang Guang called out in a low voice, causing the eunuch beside him to quickly walk to the edge of the couch. "My servant is here."
"Go and ask what's going on at Xiao Yangqing's house. Why haven't you seen her work delivered yet?"
"My slave, I'll go right away." Eunuch Zhao respectfully agreed, then stepped aside and summoned the nimble little eunuch to whisper a few times.
The little eunuch understood and ran quickly towards the distance.
However, the little eunuch ran out more than twenty steps along the edge of the seats, and saw the prince charging towards him with a crooked look on his horse.
However, the prince finally did not have the guts to continue riding forward. He stopped thirty steps away from the audience, reined in his mount and dismounted.
"Grandpa Wang, Your Majesty has just spoken and asked about Yang Xiaoguanren's works."
"Here you come, no, get out of the way, we have to send him there personally." The prince looked at the little eunuch, laughed, and directly pulled the little brat aside.
How can you take advantage of such a good thing? Isn’t our family’s hard work these days just waiting for this last moment?
Then, a group of guards saw that the prince paid no attention to the crooked crown of his hat and the scattered gray hair. He even deliberately pulled two pieces of his clothes to make himself look more embarrassed.
Then he stumbled and ran towards the end of the audience.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty's old slave has honored his duty and brought Yang Xiaoguanren's water tune song."
The noise coming from the distance was nothing at all, but when he saw Wang Banban, who had been assigned to squat beside Yang Qian, he staggered and ran over with his hat and clothes askew.
Yang Guang was also startled and sat upright. Was this guy beaten?
Soon, his attention fell on the rice paper held in Wang Gonggong's hand.
Following Yang Guang's signal, Wang Gonggong hurriedly walked closer and offered his hands respectfully.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
Yang Guang took it and couldn't wait to spread out the rice paper. His eyes fell on the paper and he could only see the first sentence.
Then he subconsciously raised his head and looked at the dark night sky covered by clouds.
Taking a deep breath, her eyes fell back on the rice paper again, and Queen Xiao beside her couldn't help but come closer.
He only took a quick glance, and like the emperor Yang Guang, subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky.
"???"
