Chapter 57: Chang'an Poetry Club, Jinyang layman

"ah!"

Little Sizi subconsciously covered his little head that was knocked, and pouted: "The Queen Mother is too much. Sizi came to you for help today, but if you don't help Sizi, forget it, and let Sizi go to the Imperial Academy and the Poetry Club.

"

"Uuuuuuuuah, Sizi really doesn't want to go."

Seeing her youngest daughter being so aggrieved, Empress Changsun's heart tightened. She stepped forward and hugged Xiao Sizi's head, and said softly: "Xiao Sizi, the Queen Mother will make the decision for you regarding the Imperial College. There is no need to go there for the time being."

"The Poetry Fair is held once a year in Chang'an City. It is of great significance. You must go."

"And this poetry meeting, unlike previous years, has almost half of the southern students gathered. It can be said to be the largest and most famous in recent years."

"Students from the south have always been better than our students from the north. In previous years, students from the south rarely came to Chang'an City due to distance restrictions, but this year they came in large numbers. My mother received news a few days ago that almost half of the restaurants in Chang'an City are...

It was booked by a student from the south."

"This poetry meeting is full of gold content. Not only that, but also the imperial court will be attended by ministers and highly respected Confucian scholars such as Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian, Xiao Yu, Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, etc.

Let’s be referees together.”

"The number of students and the attention paid by the imperial court is unprecedented. This has never been the case in the past few years."

"So, little Sizi, we have to go and participate, you know?!"

Queen Changsun's attitude is extremely serious.

Little Si Zi didn't realize it, so he gnawed his fingers and said, "Then Queen Mother, why is this poetry meeting different? Is it so much better than before?"

Empress Changsun took out her handkerchief and stepped forward to take out little Sizi's fingers from her mouth and wipe away the saliva: "Silly boy, it's not good to chew your fingers. Queen Mother, wipe them for you."

Queen Changsun said while wiping, her voice full of gentleness.

"The reason why this poetry meeting is unprecedented is because there is a very powerful person who announced that he wants to participate in the poetry meeting."

"This person's name is Jinyang layman."

"He has become famous in the past two years. His literary level is the best in China. Many southern students are young, energetic and arrogant. They all want to take advantage of this poetry meeting to challenge this outstanding person and make a name for themselves.

Ten thousand."

Little Sizi tilted his little head and said in a milky voice: "Jinyang layman? You look so awesome."

Empress Changsun laughed and said: "Well, this man is really powerful. His literary talents can make the entire southern scholars come because of him. This is something that the imperial court could not do in the past. How amazing is it?"

"As for the imperial court, originally Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, and several other great scholars never participated in young people's poetry gatherings, but they were also attended by Jinyang laymen."

"In addition, little Sizi, when we enter your father's palace, won't we see a pair of poems hanging on the wall? Those poems are majestic as a whole and can inspire the emperor. They were written by Jinyang layman

hand."

besides.

This poetry meeting has another extremely important attribute.

Choose talents from underprivileged families!!

The preparation period for the poetry meeting started half a month ago.

At that time, Li Shimin wanted food but was stopped by the family. From the food incident, Li Shimin knew that there were too many officials from the family around him.

Talents from underprivileged families are urgently needed!!

A lot of talented people from underprivileged families!!

Therefore, after the food incident was over, Li Shimin personally issued an order to attach great importance to the Chang'an Poetry Society, and specially set up extremely generous rewards at the Chang'an Poetry Society.

Those who reach the top three will be rewarded by the court, and even those who are amazingly talented will be directly entrusted with official positions.

It's like a small imperial examination.

No, in a sense, this poetry meeting is even more important than the imperial examination, because at this poetry meeting, important officials of the imperial court will be present, and even Li Shimin may come to witness the performance of various talents, which is not comparable to the imperial examination.

of.

It is precisely because of the rewards from Jinyang layman and Li Shimin that everyone, whether they are children from poor families, children from aristocratic families, or children from distinguished families, will all participate!!

Regarding the rewards, Empress Changsun did not tell Xiao Sizi clearly that the difficulties her father had encountered, the conspiracies, and the various family calculations were too dark, and she did not want her precious daughter to know about them.

"Wow!" Xiao Sizi's eyes seemed to be shining, and he opened his small mouth and said: "So awesome! Queen Mother, then who is better at literature between him and the second brother!!"

Queen Changsun rolled her eyes.

Kuan'er, the Fish King, and Jinyang layman have been proficient in poetry for several years. Is this comparable?!

My daughter was really spoiled by Kuan'er.

He doesn't even have an ordinary understanding of the world.

"If it comes to literary talent, then Jinyang layman must be even better."

Empress Changsun did not hide her inner thoughts.

In her heart, no one can match Jinyang layman in terms of literary talent.

Didn't hear the answer I wanted.

Xiao Sizi immediately became angry.

He put his little hands on his hips and pouted his mouth angrily.

Just as she was about to speak.

Queen Changsun took the lead and said: "Xiao Sizi, my mother knows what you are thinking. Since you doubt the talent of Jinyang layman, how about you go with Changle in the evening and see this person's talent with your own eyes before making a judgment?"

"After leaving, if you still think that this person's talent is inferior to Kuan'er, how about I apologize to you now?"

Xiao Sizi's eyes flickered, as if he was considering the pros and cons.

Half a moment.

His little face was full of fighting spirit.

"Humph, queen mother, just go! Si Zi doesn't believe that he is better than the second brother!!"

"Queen mother, just wait to apologize. Second brother is invincible in the world!!"

Empress Changsun breathed a sigh of relief, it would be great if she could go, but she had deceived the little guy.

She smiled and said: "Okay, okay~ Mother knows."

then.

He looked at the colorful textbook again.

"Xiao Sizi, can you lend that book to your mother for a day?"

Little Sizi raised the math book: "Ah? Mother wants this, the math content is so boring. Sizi is so smart, it's hard to read it. Does mother really want to read it?"

"Um."

Queen Changsun nodded.

that book,

Whether it is the colorful cover, or the density and fineness of the paper, it is beyond the reach of the Tang Dynasty at this stage. Even without looking at the content inside, Empress Changsun wanted to understand it because of its appearance.

"Then let's lend it to the mother. Oh, by the way, mother, mother, can you return it to Sizi tomorrow? Sizi is afraid that his second brother will come back suddenly and check his studies. If he doesn't find the textbook, he will blame Sizi."

Empress Changsun smiled: "Okay, no problem, I will give it back to the smartest little Sizi in our family tomorrow."

"Hehe! The Queen Mother is gone. Sizi is just a little bit smarter. Here, write a letter to the Queen Mother."

Xiao Sizi put the math book on the table.

He stayed in Queen Changsun's palace for a long time. After eating, he returned to his palace with satisfaction.

After she left, Empress Changsun picked up the math book, her beautiful eyes moving.
