Although the bickering between Li Chen and Prince Wen was fruitless, it ended the previous warm atmosphere.
The plan to let Prince Wen continue to set the pace to brainwash everyone into hating the East Palace went bankrupt.
Prince Wen reacted very quickly and had a high emotional intelligence. He changed the topic and immediately said: "Master Qin is right. Since it is a poetry meeting, we cannot put the cart before the horse. Everyone, the poetry meeting has officially begun. I would like to introduce some ideas first.
, this poem was composed accidentally in my spare time, and it is difficult to be considered elegant. However, since this is a poetry meeting to raise money for disaster relief for the victims, I have no shame to publish it."
After finishing speaking, Prince Wen raised his hand to lead.
Immediately, someone came up with a framed scroll, and when it was opened, a poem was written on it.
Everyone looked at it carefully and saw that this poem had neat rules, appropriate rhymes, and extremely beautiful words and sentences. It was not only a rare masterpiece, but it was also a rare masterpiece. Without any level of skill, it would definitely be difficult to obtain.
"The prince wrote a good poem, with extraordinary artistic conception and pleasing to the eye. I am willing to bid five hundred taels for this poem!"
Five hundred taels is not a small amount.
Ordinary people's families, without two or three prime-age laborers, can only earn 400 to 500 taels of silver a year, but here, the opening is only 500 taels, which is just the beginning.
As the organizer, and after all, he was respected as the crown prince, everyone was very interested in Prince Wen's reputation, and one of his poems was auctioned for a high price of 800 taels in the blink of an eye.
"Eight hundred and fifty taels, thank you Mr. Hu for your generosity."
The final transaction price was eight hundred and fifty taels. Prince Wen personally handed the poem scroll in his hand to the young man with a glowing face. After a few polite words, he said loudly: "These eight hundred and fifty taels are considered an auspicious start. Today's work
All the money raised from the auction will be donated to the victims of the disaster, and I hereby propose to form a Wenyuan Society."
"This Wenyuan Association is willing to accept all knowledgeable people. Anyone who bids today can join and become a member. There are no mandatory requirements in the association. It is just a platform for everyone to communicate. Members have no responsibilities and obligations. There is only one thing.
Members of the Wenyuan Society should put national affairs first and help each other when encountering difficulties."
After two sentences, Li Chen, who had always been expressionless, frowned suddenly.
He looked at Prince Wen, who was still talking, and finally figured out the context of his plan.
This Wenyuan Society seems to be of no use, and it has just been established and cannot achieve anything at all, but Li Chen is sure that this is the real purpose behind Prince Wen, or King Wen.
Poetry gatherings and fund-raising for disaster relief are all just bricks thrown out to attract the Wenyuan Society.
It was a loose alliance formed by the princes of the feudal lords, and all its members were the children of high-ranking officials in the capital. If all these people present joined, the power of the Wenyuan Society would instantly expand.
As time goes by, all these disciples in the capital will be proud to join the Wenyuan Society, and any member of the Wenyuan Society has an astonishing family background and interest network behind him.
To lay such a large net, what would Wen Yuan want to do? What would Prince Wen want to do?
However, no one present except Li Chen was aware of this problem.
Even Zhao Tailai was the first to speak happily: "I'll join."
Prince Wen could not help but be overjoyed.
He took advantage of the heated atmosphere to bring up this excuse. The only thing missing was that a person with enough fame and status took the lead. He was still thinking of a solution, but he didn't expect Zhao Tailai to take the initiative to get in.
