Li Letian is a very dedicated prince. He is open-minded and conscientious in his work. He cares about people's livelihood, economy, and military affairs. He can write poems and songs with civilian officials as well as chat and laugh with military generals. Once someone mentions it, he will definitely say: Alas,
I am taking care of my father's worries, but I have no interest in the throne.
Anyone can see Li Letian's ambition, anyone can see him... not much chance.
His Majesty Emperor Ming has many princes. If there is anyone who is not interested in the throne, it may be the sixth prince Li Xingzai, but he has the best chance.
The sixth prince, Li Xingzai, laughed and cursed, and regarded the court's dignity as nothing. He could befriend an actor, or he could get drunk in a brothel for several months. As a prince and the future heir to the throne, it can be said that he is the only one in history to do this.
One serving.
And even his friends who were traffickers and lackeys said that it was good for the Sixth Prince to be a friend, but it would not be possible for him to be an emperor.
Such behavior often made Emperor Ming furious, and he wanted to beat him whenever he saw him. However, among the many sons of Emperor Ming, only the sixth prince was beaten by him.
Everyone said that as long as the sixth prince made a little progress, the other princes would not have to fight, and they would not be able to compete anyway. Among these princes, there are some who are conscientious, some who pretend to be indifferent and do not fight, and some who are plotters... But
All these factors combined cannot defeat a dandy, so one can only imagine how everyone feels.
But the sixth prince disappeared.
His whereabouts were unknown and there was no news at all. The other princes felt that their opportunity had come, so they all jumped out again.
Bai Lisheng was on his way to the palace. He didn't like to attend today's party very much. Poetry was popular in the empire. Once there was a party, after watching the singing and dancing, the civil servants started to write and write.
"Oh, today I was inspired to write a poem for you to read."
But I don’t know how much hair you pulled out at home before you wrote a poem. You just want to take this opportunity to be prominent in front of others, spread it in the mouth of the singer, and win fame in the capital.
Very excited about it.
But there is no choice, the military commanders are all rough and tough, and every time they want to interrupt, they can only drink and suffer the ridicule of the civil servants.
When Bailisheng walked to the gate of the palace, he happened to bump into Cheng Dalei. Bailisheng didn't want to walk with Cheng Dalei. If they walked side by side, it would be easy for people to misunderstand that he and Cheng Dalei were in the same group.
The current situation is that Bailisheng wants Cheng Dalei to think that he is in the same group, but he doesn't want others to think that they are in the same group.
In this way, Cheng Dalei can work hard for himself, and when he gets into trouble, he will not be implicated.
Cheng Dalei, Xu Shenji, and Xu Ling'er went in first and saw that it was really lively here. There were singing and dancing in the hall, and scholars were sitting on the floor. Cheng Dalei was just a low-ranking official, and his position was right next to the entrance of the hall. Sitting here, even the big officials
The prince's appearance could not be clearly seen.
Cheng Dalei looked at it for a long time and figured out Li Letian's intention of hosting this banquet.
The military examination is about to take place. Call some famous and potential candidates together to show that you are disciples of the emperor. The prince of the empire has invited you to drink. You should not think more about serving the country with loyalty.
On the one hand, the scholars can become familiar with each other, and on the other hand, they can attract people's hearts to the court, which is beneficial to both sides.
The first program was the sword formation dance. Twenty imperial guards were dressed in black clothes and black armor. During the sword dance, a murderous aura was poured out, and the hall suddenly became a bit cold.
Cheng Dalei was also watching with rapt attention, and his expression was stunned for a moment.
"Okay." Song Tianhan praised and said: "I am afraid that such a son is only available in our empire. Jiujiang, you are known as a talented man. Can you write a poem about this?"
Coming!
Everyone shouted in their hearts, and Cheng Dalei was surprised to see that someone beside him took out a small note and recited it silently.
Cheng Dalei didn't know how important a chance to get ahead was for these scholars. There were so many dignitaries here today. If he could come up with a great poem and become famous in the capital, wouldn't he be able to attract the attention of the examiner?
.
It's probably similar to a talent show, where the contestants perform a performance first to impress the judges.
So many people were waiting for today. Some people with literary talent started pulling their hair out days in advance. Those without literary talent had no choice but to pay someone to write for them.
Li Letian, Song Tianhan, Bai Lisheng and others knew everyone's mood, so they naturally wanted to give them a chance to express themselves.
Qu Jiujiang stood up, bowed to Chong Li Letian, and said: "I am not worthy of the name of a talented scholar. I did get a few words just now, so Qu will be embarrassed."
I don’t know how many generals are grinning and even saying a few words. I don’t know how many days you have been preparing.
I saw Qu Jiujiang walking up to the case, swiping his brush and ink, and in a moment, a seven-character lawyer poem had been written on the paper. Li Letian read it again and nodded slightly: "You are worthy of being a talented person from Jingzhou."
This can be regarded as stamping the name of Qu Jiujiang, a talented man.
All the scholars were full of praise. At this time, Liu Qingming stood up and said: "Liu is a martial artist. He doesn't understand poetry. He just got a few sentences. Since Brother Qu has the reputation of being a talented man, why don't you ask me to give you some advice?"
.”
Liu Qingming also walked up to the case, and his pen moved like a dragon and a snake. After reading it, Li Letian praised: "It can be said to be both civil and military."
Qu Jiujiang has a talented scholar from Jingzhou, and Liu Qingming has a talent both in civil and military affairs. Everyone knows that this time, the two of them are the most powerful contenders for the top spot in martial arts.
After the two of them, people stood up one after another and said: "I also thought of a few words, and I would like to ask for your advice."
Li Letian looked at this scene and laughed and said: "The empire is really full of talents. Today, Xiao Wang, Uncle Chang Zhong, and Mr. Song will judge for everyone, select the best among them, and let a peach girl sing."
This is the prelude to tonight's poetry conference. Who wants to become famous in front of others after learning literary and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family. In today's empire, becoming famous in one battle is a bit nonsense, but there are still opportunities to become famous with a poem. In previous years, it was not without sudden
When a dark horse emerges, everyone thinks they are the dark horse.
After some evaluation, it was naturally that the civil servants were superior and the generals were too weak. A group of rough guys gathered together, their faces as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Hey, do you understand?"
"I don't understand. Who knows what nonsense they are talking about."
"Can you fight a war by writing poetry?"
"These acid writers are too arrogant. It would be great if someone could teach them a lesson right now."
Cheng Dalei wanted to run away at this moment, because he found that Yi Zhitao was also present. If he was recognized, his plan would be in vain.
"Niu Sanjin Niu Lieutenant, I heard that you hide the beauty in your chest and the mountains and rivers in your belly. Can you write a poem about this situation?" Li Letian.
Cheng Dalei, who was crouching and trying to escape, was stopped by a shout. When he turned around, he found that many people's eyes were focused on him.
"The breasts hide the beauty, the belly hides the mountains and rivers"
