Seeing Su Wen's confusion, Yan Jiu'an smiled faintly and said: "The flag pavilion painting wall can be replaced temporarily. This has been the rule for many years. After all, the conference is a comparison of the Three Kingdoms and the poetry world of the Three Kingdoms. It is not just three people. If
There are better candidates, and often in the final round, the better ones are used instead of the fixed ones."
"Can you still play like this?"
Su Wen was shocked.
"That is……"
Xia Gui explained: "But this was more common in the first few years. At that time, there were many new talents in the literary world of the Three Kingdoms, so the changes were even greater, unlike later."
Xia Gui explained it carefully again, and Su Wen finally understood it.
In order for one side to gain the greatest advantage, the poetry circles of the Three Kingdoms kept the rules as vague as possible. In order to be able to adjust their strategies at any time, it was normal operation to change poems and people at the last minute.
It's just that this method has become less common in recent decades, because there are not many new talents in the poetry world, and they are far from amazing. It is considered a miracle to produce a refreshing poet in five or ten years.
Yan Jiu'an, Lu Chen and Xu Xuanbao are the representative figures who have led the poetry world in the past ten years. Although Su Wen has some excellent works in the world, their popularity is far from the level of these three people.
If it weren't for Qian Haoran's peach blossom banquet, Su Wen's literary name would have been circulating in Jiangnan Road at most, and it would not have been able to break through the circle for two or three years, and it would not have spread to the ears of leading figures in the poetry world like Yan Jiu'an.
As the injury worsened, Yan Jiuan, for the sake of the honor and disgrace of the Liang Dynasty, had been inspecting newcomers in the poetry world for some time, Su Lao. Although there were many people with outstanding literary talents, compared with Xu Xuanbao and Lu Chen, the gap was too big, and there was no comparison at all.
possible.
So he finally set his sights on Su Wen.
Through the relationship with the imperial court, Yan Jiu'an obtained many of Su Wen's new works.
He even visited Nangong a few days ago and got Su Wen's latest work "The Collection of Pear Blossoms" from Nangong.
After being caught by Yu Chunfeng, Su Wen wrote several poems with pear flowers as the theme.
After that, Yu Chunfeng committed suicide, and Yu Shi was sent to Qingshan Academy to study.
Before Yu Shi went to the academy, he asked Qingli to let Su Wen copy the poems and essays after he woke up and send them to the academy.
Seeing how pitiful Yu Shi was, Su Wen wrote down several subsequent poems related to peach blossoms on the road, compiled them into a booklet, and asked Qingli to find a way to give them to Yu Shi.
It is impossible for Qingli to change hands and entrust the operation of the inner factory because of a small volume of poems using ultra-long-distance secret techniques, so Nangong also had a copy of "The Collection of Pear Blossoms" in his hands.
Nangong was not very interested in poetry, but he knew the value of what Su Wen wrote. Yan Jiuan came to visit and asked for information about Su Wen, so he took out the "Lihua Collection" for Yan Jiuan to review.
After getting Su Wen's new work, and especially understanding Su Wen's creative background, Yan Jiu'an decided to let Su Wen appear for him and participate in the flag pavilion mural painting.
But in order to protect Su Wen's safety, he hid his intentions from Nangong, and through the operation of his friend Zhang Su, Su Wen "accidentally" appeared here.
He admitted that his behavior involved gambling, but he eventually won the bet.
Su Wen appeared.
So he rushed to meet Su Wen at this time. As for whether Su Wen agreed or not, it was Su Wen's business. He had done his best for the Liang Dynasty. If Su Wen didn't agree, then he would have to fight to the death.
Burning extraordinary power, he tried his best to win the second place for the Liang Dynasty, so as not to put the imperial court in the most passive state in the following situation.
"A useless scholar is a scholar. An idler like me who only sings about the wind and moonlight all day long cannot live like a useless person."
Yan Jiuan gave a last wry smile: "As long as I still have some choice, I would not dare to let my little friend face such a difficult situation in this situation."
Su Wen nodded slightly.
Yan Jiu'an naturally knew that this kind of behavior was putting Su Wen on the fire.
No matter Xu Xuanbao, Lu Chen, or even Yan Jiu'an, they spent five years painting the walls for tonight's flag pavilion. During these five years, they worked hard and wrote countless famous works, just waiting for tonight's appearance.
In the past, winning and losing were the talk of poetry, but this time the meaning of the murals in the flag pavilion is different from the past. If you win, you will be praised, but if you lose, you will be criticized by thousands of people, and the gain outweighs the loss.
"My little friend, don't refuse in a hurry..."
Seeing the hesitation in Su Wen's eyes, Xia Gui said: "As long as you are willing to participate, no matter you win or lose, I will give you a natal painting as a reward. Although Chang Ping is injured now and his influence is not as good as before, he can guarantee your explanation.
Even if you lose, you can let everyone in the Liang Kingdom understand your difficulties and righteousness, and they will never let you bear too much pressure..." Yan Jiu'an's nickname is Chang Ping, Xia Gui has known him for decades, and is used to calling him by that name.
It is difficult to change habits in front of Su Wen.
At this point, Xia Gui hesitated, unwilling to speak too directly.
After all, he is a literati, and his speech is not as naked as that of a businessman.
In his opinion, with Yan Jiuan's endorsement, Su Wen's reputation cannot be damaged. Even if he is at the bottom, he can still become famous in one battle.
After all, as a rising star in the poetry world, it is unthinkable to compete with literary giants like Xu Xianbin and Lu Chen. It would be an honor to lose.
"Master Xia doesn't have to be like this." Su Wen shook his head and said, "I agree to this."
He is not a person who likes to stand out, and he doesn't care much about his literary names. After all, the names of his poems are not real materials, but the result of the blessings of countless generations of literary pearls in the world.
but……
He was in the Daliang Dynasty and received a salary from the Daliang Dynasty. The actions of the Emperor of Daliang Dynasty were also in line with his appetite.
After all, a king who sees the shortcomings of the dynasty and has the courage and ability to carry out drastic reforms is a rare species.
Although Ji Changge's reforms also had constant shortcomings and considerable limitations, Su Wen still recognized Ji Changge. After all, he stood at the end of the era and looked at the past. Naturally, he could have a high position and give guidance to the country, but it was not objective to evaluate history apart from the times.
Living in this era, Su Wen felt that it was not easy for Ji Changge to achieve this step.
Although he is still far from the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, Ji Changge still has advantages that the Tang Zong and Song Zu did not have.
So Su Wen is still willing to do his part for this dynasty.
"what should I do?"
Su Wen asked: "Is it just a matter of writing poems and attracting more literary attention?"
"..."
Yan Jiuan and Xia Gui looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.
Su Wen's understanding is simple and crude.
But this understanding couldn't be more correct.
It’s just...it’s easier said than done to create poems that attract literary flair?
Yan Jiu'an is a master of poetry, but he is not sure that every poem can attract literary spirit, let alone the "more" literary spirit.
Unless a master is born with a natural talent and occasionally comes across a masterpiece of famous lines, most of the time, the poet can spend his energy and think over and over again until the words finally fit in with the poetry and attract literary style. Only then can he create a famous article and attract literary style.
And those poets who are aiming for a blockbuster, when they get such a famous article, will not show the entire literary spirit immediately, but seal it up and reveal it under the witness of many famous writers and friends, so as to gain more people's recognition.
The resonance of praise and criticism of talents and sentiments elevates the literary spirit to a higher and stronger level.
Seeing that the two of them were silent for a while, Su Wen was startled and said, "Did I say something wrong?"
"That's right."
In the end, Yan Jiuan nodded, confirming that there was nothing wrong with what Su Wen said and that his understanding was correct.
Su Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
"What should I write about? Are there any limitations?"
Su Wen asked.
"There are several articles that require fixed word brand names."
Yan Jiu'an said: "The oiran singers did not know the names of the poems in advance, but most of the poems can be sung according to the rhythm of the word cards. They only need to know the word cards and they can arrange the rhythm and sing by themselves."
"So that's the case……"
Su Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you can create your own lyrics and compose new songs, the effect will be even better." Xia Gui added from the side.
"...but in this case, can the oiran play?"
Su Wen was a little surprised.
"Of course... none of the oirans present are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. In fact, most of the oirans are extraordinary people related to the music family. As long as the ranking is not high, they cannot be compared with those who entertain people with sex.
On par with ordinary singers."
Yan Jiuan also added on the side.
"very good."
Su Wen nodded to show that he generally understood.
"Do you have any requirements for poetry style?"
Su Wen felt that it would be better for him to ask more questions.
He could hear clearly that Beiyan's guests were loudly mocking Xu Xuanbao for only moaning and groaning.
"There are no requirements. If the style can be varied and not limited to a certain type of subject matter, the effect will be better."
Yan Jiuan said with a smile.
His own poetry style is rich and colorful, with gorgeous rhetoric and many erotic chapters. Although he occasionally has open-minded and heroic poems, he is still labeled as the Huajian School by the world.
"That's good……"
Su Wen felt relieved after receiving such an answer.
Since there are no restrictions, it is not difficult for him to write a few poems that suit the occasion and time.
Although he may not be able to secure the first place, the literary spirit he can attract will not place him at the bottom.
Yan Jiu'an and the entire Liang Dynasty originally did not dare to expect to win first place in this flag pavilion mural painting. They just wanted to be in the middle and be satisfied with a year of breathing time.
After receiving Su Wen's permission, Yan Jiu'an finally felt a big stone fall in his heart. He took out the medicine bottle and took a secret medicine to suppress the injury.
If Su Wen doesn't agree, he will not take this secret medicine, but will use all his extraordinary strength to write poems and burn his life to write the last chapter.
"Little friend Su, this is a poem I wrote. You can compose it according to the lyrics. Everything else will be arranged by Xia Gui."
Yan Jiuan laid out a stack of manuscript papers on the desk.
"That's right, this is my painting environment. Don't worry about trivial matters."
Xia Gui waved his big hand, and a scroll appeared in front of him. Suddenly there was a paintbrush in his hand, and he scribbled on it.
Suddenly, the crowd was in an uproar, and someone exclaimed: "What...Daliang Chao Yan Jiu'an withdrew from the competition and elected the acting deputy director of Qingshan Academy...Su Wen participated in the flag pavilion mural painting?"
"Su Wen...who is it?"
someone exclaimed.
"The Peach Blossom Collection...it's the same Su Wen who wrote the Peach Blossom Collection!"
In the boat, exclamations of exclamation came and went.
"Isn't this against the rules?" someone questioned.
"No, this is in line with the rules... This is the original rule of the flag pavilion painting wall. The talented people live there... Yanren and Jingchu, will they also change people... to play exciting?!" Someone looked at it
