Chapter 245: The battle between the three geniuses and the oiran
However, recently, two young talents often appeared in Zui Chun Tower and Li Chun Courtyard, causing a sensation throughout Chang'an City.
This young talented man in Zuichun Tower wrote a poem for Fairy Hanmei.
The floating fragrance wraps around the curved bank, and the round shadow covers the flower pool. I am always afraid that the autumn wind will come early and drift away without you knowing it.
This poem is about flowers, but it is not plum blossoms, but lotus flowers.
However, using lotus to describe the Winter Plum Fairy is quite appropriate.
And this poem caused a sensation throughout Chang'an City.
Those literati all felt that the achievement of this poem was not inferior to that of King Li Min of Shu.
And this one was also a young talent, only a few years older than King Li Min of Shu.
After Li Min heard this poem and searched for it, he was also shocked and said: This is not scientific!
At the same time, Li Min quickly ordered people to collect the name of this talented man.
Because, from the search results, we learned that this poem was written by Lu Zhaolin, one of the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty.
Because according to the age found in the search, Lu Zhaolin was only about two or three years old at this time.
But now this talented man is at least ten years older than the recorded age.
The men sent by Li Min soon found out that the name of this talented man was Lu Zhaolin!
It seems that the historical records are wrong!
At the same time, the talented man in Lichun Court also composed a popular poem.
A beauty comes out of the east neighbor, and her appearance is as beautiful as Li Chun. Her clothes are fragrant all over the road, and her socks are dusty when she moves. Looking at the shadow of makeup under the water, her brows are painted with new moonlight. I send a message to Cao Zijian, he is the god of Luochuan.
This poem also caused a sensation in Chang'an City.
The literati in Chang'an City thought that this was another talented man who was not weaker than Shu Wang Li Min and Lu Zhaolin.
And the name of this talented man is King Luo Bin, and he is the child prodigy who wrote Goose Goose at the age of seven.
According to historical records, King Luo Bin is thirteen years old this year, which is quite appropriate for his age.
For a while, Li Min, Lu Zhaolin and King Luo Bin were called the three most talented men in Chang'an City by the good people.
Among these three great talents, Li Min is the faintest leader.
Because Li Min is firmly at the top not only in terms of status, but also in terms of the quantity and quality of his poems.
Li Min, on the other hand, had hidden worries.
Okay, how can you create one of the three most talented people in Chang'an City?
Will with the emergence of the three great talents, will the original Four Heroes of the Early Tang Dynasty disappear in the long river of history?
Well, this is very likely!
At the same time, among the literati in Chang'an City, there were many good people.
They felt that the three great talents should be brought together. It would be best if they could compete and rank in person.
But, unfortunately, they never found the right opportunity.
Because Li Min would not give them this chance.
Although Li Min had countless Tang poems, Song lyrics, and Yuan operas in his belly, Li Min felt that if he could defeat Lu Zhaolin and Luo Binwang with these, he would be suspicious of overpowering them.
Well, okay, actually, Li Min was mainly afraid of having a poem couplet with them in person.
You are the most annoying person who composes poems in front of me, sentence by sentence.
…
Before we know it, the time has arrived in August, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.
Zui Chun Tower and Li Chun Yuan decided to unite all the courtyards in Chang'an City on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival to select the oiran in Chang'an City.
This time, they decided to hold the grand gathering in the chrysanthemum garden.
When the time comes, they will invite Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang, Yao Silian, Zhang Xuansu, Yu Zhining and other literati to serve as judges.
Although all of these literati are decent and proud by nature, they are very liberal when it comes to romantic affairs.
In fact, in ancient China, for thousands of years, there have been countless romantic stories between literati and prostitutes.
Ancient literati seemed particularly fond of talented women in brothels.
This also leads to the fact that the literary talents of many courtesans trained in brothels are no worse than those of ordinary scholars.
The harmony between the literati and these talented brothel girls was even spread as a rhyme.
This kind of thing is unimaginable now.
Civil servants who dare to openly engage in prostitution will be punished.
It can be seen that in ancient times, there were also ancient benefits.
…
This competition is mainly divided into two parts.
The first part is about comparing poetry talents.
In fact, the contenders for the top position this time are probably Zuichun Tower, Li Chun Courtyard and the No. 1 Courtyard in the World.
If nothing unexpected happens, the courtesan will probably be born among Hanmei Fairy, Chrysanthemum Fairy and Ouyang Ruoshui.
In the first part, every participating woman must use a flower to represent herself and write a poem or lyrics about this flower.
Then, several judges will rate them.
In fact, the fight is no longer about the women themselves, but the talents behind them.
The second part is the talent show.
There is no limit to this, it may be a musical instrument, a show of singing, or dancing.
Similarly, several judges still decide the final ranking.
When the two results are added up, the winner is the oiran this time.
This time, the forces behind Zui Chun Tower and Li Chun Yuan invited these two young talents out because it seemed that they were bound to win the oiran this time.
As long as their courtyard can win over the Oiran, they will surely be able to replace it with the number one courtyard in the world.
This time the competition for the oiran also attracted the attention of countless literati in Chang'an City.
This time, it can also be seen as a competition between the three great talents in Chang'an City.
This time, who of the three great talents in Chang'an City is better will be able to see the outcome in this oiran battle.
…
There is no chance that the No. 1 Court in the World will not participate in this oiran battle.
If you don't participate, you will definitely be regarded as timid by outsiders and will not dare to challenge, and your reputation will be ruined.
Therefore, after Li Min agreed to this oiran battle, he began to make various preparations.
Li Min hasn't paid much attention to the poems in the first part.
There were so many poems from later generations that Li Min could use. Even the Four Great Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty, King Luo Bin and Lu Zhaolin, had a slim chance of winning in the first part.
And Li Min focused on the second part.
In this oiran battle, Li Min was not only prepared to win, but also won beautifully.
Therefore, this time he decided to use a killer weapon for Ouyang Ruoshui.
…
Time flies by like a white horse, and before you know it, the Mid-Autumn Festival is here.
Early that morning, Li Min ordered Xiao Liuzi to go to the first floor of the world and ordered them to cook some dishes.
Then he asked Xiao Liuzi to go to the butcher shop to buy a piece of meat and more than ten kilograms of ribs. Today, Li Min planned to cook a few dishes himself.
This time when he cooked, it was not because of his own greed.
Instead, he prepared to cook a few dishes and send them to the palace to honor Concubine Yang.
His elder brother Li Ke has gone to the fiefdom. Every festival, his mother and concubine will miss him even more.
Now, I am the only one who fulfills my filial piety for my brother in front of my mother and concubine.
