Just like Duan Silian, when Lu Huiqing proposed it, he still had to think about it.
But in his heart, the yearning for the banquet of scholars was like the weeds in spring, which could not be stopped from growing wildly.
The key is that from time to time, I would hear Lu Huiqing and even Feng Zhuangyuan casually mention the banquet.
So and so has made something new again, and it was improvised during that banquet.
The standard of banquets at so and so's family was very high, and new words emerged one after another.
He had heard of it before Lu Huiqing mentioned it, but he had never been so eager.
What's going on now?
But Lu Huiqing never mentioned it again!
That makes my heart itch!
"Did Duan Silian attend the banquet?"
It's been some time since the incident happened, and no one asked about it anymore. Zhao Xi suddenly remembered it and asked Chen Lin.
The Imperial City Secretary found out that the focus of this period was to monitor all people and things related to Dali.
"Back to the official house, not yet. Lu Jifu never mentioned it again, and Feng never mentioned it to Prince Duan in his lifetime."
"Do you need to mention these two?"
Chen Lin was also a little anxious. He could see how urgent it was to advance step by step.
"Uh... no, that's fine."
Zhao Xi was just stunned for a moment and then understood.
Are you playing hard to get? Very good, they cooperate well.
"Let's see if we can persuade Goulan Restaurant to hold an event that combines courtesan and poetry..."
Give me a step to lead the way.
Playing hard to get is good, but it may also make Duan Silian depressed.
After all, when facing the Wenhua of the country and the scholars of the country, he, Duan Silian, would feel inferior.
The new lyrics of the Guo Dynasty could be sung in Northern Liao within a month, making everyone in Northern Liao yearn for it, not to mention the Duan family in Dali.
Treating Duan Silian's yearning coldly like this will definitely dampen his enthusiasm.
Too much is not enough, it is best to have an opportunity at this time. Zhao Xi had no choice but to reluctantly create it for them.
The Imperial City has been here for a hundred years. In the early days of Taizu, because he was very suspicious, he asked his own soldiers to secretly explore some things...
Later, I felt that the eunuchs were closer to each other. By the time Zhao Xi took over the Imperial City Department, the entire Imperial City Department’s investigation had covered almost all walks of life in the dynasty.
Not to mention the inns and inns, not to mention the restaurants and inns, even the Goulan Restaurant. Maybe the madam and a certain woman are detectives on the outskirts of the Imperial City Division.
The officials of previous generations were particularly concerned about their officials in Bianliang... Of course, Zhao Xi also cared about it. Naturally, Bianliang had the most information.
Thinking about it, it shouldn't be a big problem to organize an oiran and poetry competition in Bianliang.
Zhao Xi can make a perfect event plan, after all, there will be too many such events in the future.
But, after all, he is now an official, an emperor, and the person in charge of this empire. He is no longer a prince. It is really difficult to handle some things personally.
Besides, the state of affairs in this country is really not ordinary. Although some things cannot be put on the table and cannot be discussed in the assembly, even the princes cannot even see it, or they can treat it as if they have not seen it.
But Zhao Xi still had a deep understanding of the Song Dynasty from the continuous memorials.
It’s hard to get back!
Change is necessary, but as an emperor, his status has many restrictions.
If it were one city and one place, Zhao Xi believed that as long as he did everything he could, he believed that he could make his governance transcend the entire era.
Workshop City is the best example.
But now that he is the emperor, his vision must be aimed at the entire dynasty. This is also the reason why Zhao Xi released Handicraft City.
He wanted a governance concept to be accepted by this era, that is, the so-called three views of later generations, be recognized by the mainstream in this era, and be carried forward.
Far away... Zhao Xi was a little dazed.
Old Chen Lin was also used to it. Although the new emperor and the previous emperor both had this situation. The former emperor always looked decadent after being stunned, but the new emperor... seemed to see fighting spirit every time.
This matter in Dali...~If the officials personally took charge, perhaps the Duan Wang would have already fallen into the trap. If the officials personally conducted the conquest, Dali should have no soldiers at all.
There is no way, Chen Lin thinks so, there is no reason.
For example, now that the officials are talking about the Oiran and Poetry Conference, whether it is Lu Huiqing or Feng Jing, as the first executors of the plan, some things actually have to be taken care of by the officials.
And the bosses... they're all just talking, and I've never seen anyone put in a lot of effort when it comes to business.
…
"Are you saying that Fan Lou took the lead and all the Tile Markets in Bianliang were involved in the Oiran Poetry Festival?"
Han Qi was a little confused. This stall and this matter seemed strange.
"It should be like this, I guess the news has spread in Shilin..."
There are many banquets in Bianliang, and there are also things like the election of oirans. But like this time, Fan Lou took the lead, and there were really not many people in the nine tile markets in Bianliang who participated.
This is also the reason why Fu Bi is confused.
As for Ouyang Xiu and Sima Guang, they were simmering down their poetry and essays as they were drawn in by their relationships.
"Will it...?"
Han Qi was suspicious, but not sure. He always felt that this matter had something to do with the official family.
"It's not like the officials since they were weak, they no longer indulge in poetry. Bi once had communication with the officials for this purpose."
"Official officials believe that people's energy is limited, and those who excel in a certain field are already elites and talents. No one can be proficient in everything."
"The officials believe that since they are the heirs of the empire, they must know what to choose and do what they should do..."
This was a private topic, and it did no harm to the official family, so Fu Bi didn't mind saying it.
Fu Bi didn't know that this was Zhao Xi's excuse for not writing poetry... and it was also the most appropriate explanation.
"Fu Xiang, I'm not talking about officialdom and poetry. If this matter is related to the planning of Dali..."
The two of them were talking quietly, and Han Qi didn't care if he was making unreasonable assumptions.
It’s really possible!
Relatively speaking, Fu Bi had a gentlemanly temperament. He was not shady, nor did he reject conspiracy.
Therefore, when I first heard about this, I just treated it as a topic for casual conversation.
After Han Qi said this...
When his son-in-law came home, he mentioned it to him and said that Duan Silian was very willing to make friends with Bianliang scholars.
It's a pity that he, Feng Jing, can't afford to lose that person.
At Duan Silian's level, any scholar in Bianliang would throw him away and ask Feng Jing to take him to Shilin? What a joke.
Fu Bi also dismissed it as gossip and did not think further. Of course, he also saw his son-in-law Duan Silian's disdain.
But if this happened to Lu Huiqing...
"What's Lu Jifu doing lately?"
Needless to say, Fu Bi now understands Lu Huiqing somewhat.
Whether it is really related to planning Dali will be known by what Lu Huiqing does.
"There is no movement, at least there are no measures or progress worth reporting. As for talking to the officials..."
Speaking of this, Han Qi paused. Colluding with eunuchs is a shameless behavior for a scholar. Even with Fu Bi, he had some intention of avoiding it.
"I haven't heard of Lu Jifu being detained by officials recently."
Fu Yanguo knew better than Wen Yanbo whether he was retained by the official family. It can't be said that Han Qi specifically asked the eunuch because of this, right?
Having said this, it was up to Fu Bi to think whatever he wanted.
