Near the center of the street, a nine-step pavilion has been built with wood wrapped in yellow silk.
The current emperor, several bachelors, and many high-ranking officials of the imperial court were sitting among them. At a glance, one could overlook the busy people on the entire street.
"The country of Tatar was severely damaged by His Majesty's army, and I'm afraid it will be in ruins now."
"That is, since the battle in Monan last year, Long Xia will definitely regain the glory of his former ancestor and firmly occupy the position of overlord of the Zhou Kingdom."
The old emperor sat firmly in the center, looking at the people in the audience, feeling extremely proud for a moment.
"I am getting old. If I can defeat the foreign invaders in my old age, it will be considered as a fulfillment of my wish."
Many civil servants were flattering, but Crown Prince Liu Ding found these words disgusting, even though it was her own father who was flattering her.
In the Battle of Monan, the 90,000 elite Dragon Xia troops were wiped out. Now all that are left are soldiers who have never even seen the dead. The military strength has been greatly damaged. The so-called position of overlord is really ridiculous.
Furthermore, the reason why we were able to win was all due to the man who came with the oiran.
The last game of Quibi was about to begin. Chen Mu walked up step by step. He didn't feel nervous, but Xiaochan, on the other hand, was trembling every time he walked up the nine steps.
Such a ridiculous fate, who would have expected that yesterday she was just an ordinary prostitute in a brothel, unknown to anyone, but now she has become one of the most sought-after courtesans.
If we can take another step forward, we will be famous all over the world tomorrow.
When they arrived on the stage, many eyes came over, and without exception they all looked at Chen Mu, as if they wanted to see through the King of Shuchuan personally given by His Majesty at a glance.
Although he has not entered the court
"I didn't expect that the King of Shuchuan who defeated the Tatar cavalry would also write poems for these prostitutes."
Chen Mu cupped his hands and said, "I am used to being idle, and I like to recite poems and write poems on weekdays. If I don't show off in this prosperous festival, I'm afraid I will be suffocated to death."
When talking to the emperor today, Chen Mu will carefully consider every word and try his best to show that he is a capable and idle gentleman. This is his only chance to enter the center of power, so he must seize it well.
Sure enough, after saying these words, many civil servants all looked at him with reassurance. This was also the effect Chen Mu wanted most.
"Haha, it's normal for young people to behave like this. Please submit all your poems."
After that, a eunuch took the three copies of the poems and presented them to the old emperor.
The old emperor frowned and looked back and forth for a long time, but in the end his eyes rested on Chen Mu's Yulin Bell.
"I have to say that King Shuchuan's attainments in poetry are truly outstanding. Several bachelors should also take a look."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Mu could feel the expressions of the two people beside him tense up. It was obvious that the emperor rarely commented first when reviewing poems over the years. After all, he was the head of a country. How could those bachelors who spoke first dare to speak against it?
As for Chen Mu, it is not surprising at all. If we only talk about poems about love and emotion, this Yulinling poem must be ranked first among the poems in the previous life.
Even the bachelors who saw it nodded in agreement.
"There are so many Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations, and this poem is the best one Weichen has ever seen."
"Compared with the other two songs, the artistic conception of this one is much deeper."
…
It received unanimous praise, but almost no one paid attention to the other two songs.
This undoubtedly shows that Xishu Yibai, who was ridiculed and despised by others in the past, will completely prove his reputation tonight!
The so-called leader of the literary world will be him, Chen Mu, from now on.
"Okay, then I announce..."
But before the old emperor could finish his words, Tang Yin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Reporting to your Majesty, if the title of No. 1 Talent is handed over to the King of Shuchuan, the world's scholars may be dissatisfied."
Upon hearing this, the old emperor paused and then smiled and said: "I think it is you, Tang Yin, who is not convinced? I have read the poem, and it is indeed better than you. If you are not convinced, we can compete again next year. As a sacrificial wine, how can you be so open-minded?"
None?"
Once the joke was made, everyone present laughed out loud.
But only Tang Yin still spoke righteously: "Your Majesty, I don't know that King Shuchuan wrote countless good poems, but they were undoubtedly not written with preparation. Furthermore, King Shuchuan also wrote a disgusting book called Jin Ping Mei."
, the cultural level is completely different from his other books. I think... these poetry books of his are probably ghostwritten by others!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed. Nowadays, Chen Mu, a well-known talent in the world, has all his books and poems ghostwritten by others. It is really a big news.
If word spreads, I am afraid that all the literati in the world will be shocked and dumbfounded.
The old emperor also frowned: "So many poems are all ghostwritten, is it a bit exaggerated?"
Tang Yin was still kneeling on the ground: "Take this opportunity to try the literary talents of King Shuchuan and you will know. If it is true, I will definitely apologize."
There were already rumors about this in the city, and Tang Yin was dubious at first, but after sending someone to Chen Mu's hometown to inquire about it, he was immediately convinced.
This person has been taking the exams for several years, but he could not even pass the exam as a boy student. Even if he finally passed the exam as a scholar, he only passed the exam by chance based on an article criticizing military attachés.
How could such a person have such amazing literary talent?
As for Chen Mu, not only was he not angry at this moment, he actually admired Tang Yin's reasoning ability.
Except for the book "Jin Ping Mei", these poetry books were really copied by others.
However, if the reputation that has been worked hard for so long is destroyed, the bookstore that has worked hard for so long will also suffer from failure.
Tang Yin, Tang Yin, killing someone's money is like killing their parents. Since you have done this, don't blame me for embarrassing you.
The rumors must be broken, and tonight we must use some thunderbolt to break them completely!
Then, in the cold eyes of everyone, Chen Mu bowed again: "Your Majesty, can you let the other three people from the Central Plains Five Whites also come on stage?"
As soon as these words came out, Tang Yin and Zhou Qing looked suspicious, as did everyone present. They really didn't know what Chen Mu was planning.
The old emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you want?"
"I am willing to compete with five of today's top talents in poetry competition, and ask them to come up with their most proud poems. If I, Chen Mu, can't do as well as them in one of my poems, I will stop writing from now on and never touch literary affairs again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present widened their eyes.
"What a crazy student!"
"It's too arrogant for one person to fight against five top talents!"
Everyone couldn't believe it. It was clear that poetry, especially top-notch poetry, was all inspired by poets' inspirations due to accidents. Chen Mu, who immediately challenged the best poetry written by the five great talents in recent years.
To write five poems in one breath based on other people's topics, and to be far better than others, is really just a dream!
As for Chen Mu, he just smiled softly.
He is not alone, but he knows that behind him are thousands of great poets in Chinese history. So what if there are fifty-five hundred people?
Just these five people, it’s a shame!
Anyway, I, Chen Mu, will be the number one in the world tonight!
