Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 401 Princess Yanguang
Wei Yingwu and Gu Kuang were also stunned.

The word has been rising since the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, poetic talents were valued, and Ci was regarded as a way of entertainment.

Although there are also great poets who wrote lyrics, they were all accidental and not on the stage.

Poetry in this era is equivalent to serious literature that can be officially published, and words are at most popular entertainment or Internet jokes, which are not elegant.

It was not until the Song Dynasty that Ci gradually became a literary subject that could be on the stage.

In this era, the status of poetry was very different. People at that time called it "Qu'er Ci", also known as Yuefu and long and short sentences, which can be regarded as a relatively relaxed and lively literary form.

Because the songs and lyrics need to be accompanied by music, they often appear in sensual places like Goulan Washe.

However, people's attitudes towards poetry are also gradually changing. Today, although the poet Li Bai and the poet Du Fu are still alive, it can be regarded as the highest peak of ancient Chinese poetry culture.

But many people who love literature have begun to accept the subject of Ci.

For example, Wei Yingwu wrote a song "Laughing Order" in his later years, which described the scenery of the frontier fortress, and it was also widely sung.

Although strictly speaking, Zhou Bo said he wanted to fight poetry, and finally came up with a poem, which is considered a violation of the rules he set.

But this song is so well written!
The first half describes the scenery of the frontier fortress, full of voice and emotion, and a tense atmosphere of an imminent war.

The second half of the poem describes the soldiers guarding the frontier recalling their relatives in their hometown, and the last two sentences describe the pain of guarding the frontier.

This is in line with Zhou Bo's identity as a candidate from Longyou.

This poem is magnificent, and it is definitely a good poem that can be sung for thousands of years!
After listening to Zhou Bo's words, Yan Wei immediately picked up his wine glass and said loudly:
"Brother Zhou is talented, I admire you!"

After finishing speaking, Yan Wei drank the wine in the glass, covered his face with his hands and went downstairs in shame.

Now the crowd cheered again.

Zhou Bo, as the planner of an Internet celebrity company, deeply understands the truth of accepting when he sees a deal.

He waited until Yan Wei surrendered and went downstairs, and said loudly:

"The poem just now used up Zhou's poetic talent, and Zhou thinks highly of himself!"

"If there are more comrades going up the building, Zhou will not be able to make such words!"

"Today, Mr. Zhou surrendered, so let's distribute the wine in Xiangfulou to everyone!"

After saying this, the folks in Xiangfu Building held the wine jars and bowls and began to distribute wine bowls to the crowd.

The atmosphere became more lively, and even Wei Yingwu and Gu Kuang, who were standing behind the crowd, were given a bowl of wine.

This battle of poems climbing the tower immediately became the hottest topic in Fengxiang Mansion.

And Zhou Bo's frontier poem became popular in Fengxiang Mansion immediately.

The Tang court that had just regained Chang'an, although it had not been able to conquer Luoyang and restore the two capitals.

But it was no longer the precarious appearance before. Even the emperor issued an order to slightly extend the curfew time.

But this time Zhou Bo went up to the Xiangfu Building to fight poetry, just in time for the Tang Dynasty to recover Chang'an and the people's hearts to recover.

This poem eulogizing the frontier soldiers and describing the scenery of the frontier fortress also instantly won the love and sorrow of those soldiers who entered the pass to suppress the rebellion.

This catchy "Fisherman's Pride" instantly conquered the scholars in Fengxiang Mansion, and Zhou Bo became famous in one fell swoop.

After finding out that Zhou Bo lived in the Longyou Clubhouse, many dignitaries sent their family members to entertain Zhou Bo, and Zhou Bo was in the spotlight all of a sudden.

Zhou Bo, who seemed simple and honest, unexpectedly made a big mess as soon as he arrived at Fengxiang Mansion.

The other players, who were not willing to lag behind, also started "reorganizing work".

According to the rules negotiated along the way, each player can only "copy" five poems and articles before the imperial examination.

These five poems were all selected by everyone. On the one hand, there are limited famous poems and articles in later generations, and scholars these days are not fools.

If you rashly come up with five poems with different styles, you will definitely be suspected of plagiarism.

So everyone carefully selected five poems with similar styles to make them famous in Fengxiang Mansion.

The other is to worry about a "sustainable development". If all the poems are copied all at once, then the players behind will have nothing to play.

Just set a rule first, so that you won't copy all the poems all at once.

Li Yan looked at all this optimistically. The order formed spontaneously by the players formed spontaneous rules.

This also shows that players no longer regard themselves as passers-by in this world, but as people who want to live in this world for a long time.

Everyone began to pursue long-term interests, which also contributed to the stability of the player base.

All of a sudden, the talents and names of Longyou students attracted the attention of the entire Fengxiang Mansion. "Longyou Seventeen Sons" has become a common topic among the dignitaries and common people of Fengxiang Mansion.

Zhou Bo, who "climbed the tower to fight poetry", or Zhang Le, who wrote "Don't have sorrow and hate life, at this time, silence is better than sound" in the Jiaofang Division. The seventeen candidates recommended by Longyou earned a lot of attention in Fengxiang Mansion. .

Princess Yanguang, who is next to the imperial palace, is the princess of the Tang Dynasty who is very famous in Fengxiang Mansion. Countless scholars of the Tang Dynasty are proud to be able to participate in her poetry meeting.

Princess Yanguang sat in the room, looking at the glass mirror in front of her.

The mirror completely reflected her appearance. Looking at her beautiful face, Princess Yanguang stroked the mirror with her hand and said to the maid beside her:
"Wan'er, this glass mirror is much more useful than a bronze mirror. I don't know where my brother got it. I heard that the two biggest mirrors in Fengxiang Mansion are now, one is at Queen Zhang, and the other is me. This is it."

The maid named Wan'er grew up with Princess Yanguang since she was a child. While brushing Princess Yanguang's hair, she said:
"If you want me to say, it's better for you, the princess."

Princess Yanguang asked: "Why?"

"This mirror is first-rate, but the people reflected in our mirror look better!"

Princess Yanguang covered her mouth and laughed, apparently the maid's joke made her very happy.

Shang Bo is a considerate person, Li Yan actually forgot about this sister long time ago, but Shang Bo thoughtfully sent a gift to the princess mansion.

Princess Yanguang is quite popular now, and Shang Bo took the initiative to visit and proposed to sponsor Princess Yanguang to hold a poetry meeting.

At the same time, many precious gifts were presented, which were said to be given to Princess Yanguang as a prize for the poetry meeting.

However, Princess Yanguang is not a fool. It is impossible for these incomparably valuable gifts to be used as prizes for the poetry festival. This is the gift that King Jianning gave to the princess.

This Shangbo gave elegant gifts, and Shangbo himself was personable, which made Princess Yanguang, who was at odds with her husband and wife, feel a slight ripple in her heart.

The maid took out the jewelry box again, picked out a hairpin inlaid with large crystal beads, and said to Princess Yanguang:

"Lord, this hairpin sent by King Jianning is really good. There is a peach blossom sealed in such a flawless crystal, and there is such an ingenious gem!"

Princess Yanguang picked up the hairpin, played with it in her hand and said, "Brother has a heart."

Princess Yanguang is only 24 years old now, and only four years older than King Jianning.

The status of the princess's biological mother has also developed her ability to be good at observing words and expressions.

Princess Yanguang was not favored at first, and she married Pei Hui, the son of Mrs. Guoguo, the son of Yang Yuhuan's sister for the first time.

You must know that the prince's father who was the princess at that time was being forced to the verge of abolishing the prince by the aggressive Yang Guozhong. This marriage was more like Li Heng's letter of surrender to Yang Guozhong.

But everyone did not expect that in a Maweipo mutiny, Yang Guozhong, who was powerful in the Tang Dynasty, was killed by the rebels, and Princess Yanguang's first husband was also killed, and the young princess became a widow.

Afterwards, Princess Yanguang came to Lingwu with her father, perhaps out of guilt for this daughter who was given away as a gift, Li Heng began to pay attention to this daughter.

And Princess Yanguang, who was used to the warmth and coldness of people since she was a child, quickly grasped the needs of her father, and became the jewel in the emperor's palm all of a sudden from a little transparent princess.

It's just that the Tian family has always been ruthless. Although the current Princess Yanguang is favored by the emperor, her second marriage is still a political marriage.

Remarried Princess Xinchang, the daughter of Tang Xuanzong, and Xiao Sheng, the son of Xiao Heng, the imperial servant.

This Xiao family is also a prominent family, although it is not among the five surnames and seven wangs, but the Xiao family is the descendant of Xiao Yan, Emperor Wudi of Liang Dynasty, and many members of the family served as ministers in the imperial court.

The maid Wan'er put the hairpin on Princess Yanguang and said:

"Your Majesty will call the princess into the palace at this hour, which shows the prosperity of the Holy Grace!"

Princess Yanguang smiled proudly, but she also knew that her father's summoning to the palace was not just about pampering her daughter.

Princess Yanguang dressed up and entered the palace. Under the guidance of the eunuch, she saw her father who was correcting the memorial in the Mingzheng Hall.

Seeing Princess Yanguang, Li Heng was also in a good mood, he put down his ink pen and said:
"Today is a family matter, so there is no need to be polite."

However, Princess Yanguang still respectfully said: "Saint Ankang."

But Li Heng said suddenly: "It's better not to be called 'sage' in the future, I can't bear this title."

Li Heng suddenly fell into memory: "Your grandpa changed the saint. The previous emperors never claimed to be saints."

"However, at that time, the Tang Dynasty was a time of panic and prosperity when all nations came to court. Your grandpa changed Tianbao three years to Tianbao three years. He compared himself to the three emperors and five emperors, and let the palace people call himself a saint, but he didn't expect how much time had passed. Years later, Datang has become like this."

Princess Yanguang just lowered her head, she is not qualified to meddle in such topics.

After Li Heng finished recalling, he said: "Your poem will be well managed. If you have a poor student with outstanding talent and learning, you can also recommend it to me."

Princess Yanguang was overjoyed, if the person she recommended won the Jinshi, there would be more students who would pass her way in the imperial examination in the future.

For a royal princess like her, the most important thing is her influence on the emperor, which is also the source of her wealth.

Li Heng changed the subject and said: "Those scholars recommended by Tan'er have been making a lot of noise in Fengxiang Mansion recently, did you invite them tomorrow?"

"Of course my daughter invited me. Tomorrow the poetry meeting will end, and my daughter will send the collection of poems to the palace."

Seeing Li Heng nodding in satisfaction, Princess Yanguang knew that she was going in the right direction again this time.
