Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 403
What Princess Yanguang put in the water was a wooden carved swallow, which was so lifelike that it flowed down from the upper reaches of the flowing water and passed in front of every scholar who participated in the poetry meeting.

It seems that I will write a poem on the theme of "Swallow".

Many scholars bowed their heads and thought hard about how to write poems, hoping to become famous all over the world with a poem.

Those scholars who were a little impatient asked the maids to bring pens and inks, write and revise on the paper, and prepared to grind out a shocking composition.

The swallow wood carvings flowed from the upstream to the downstream, but no one picked up the wood carvings.

When the wood carving flowed in front of Wang Chengwei, he reached into the water and scooped up the wood carving.

Princess Yanguang's beautiful eyes lit up, and the clever maid named Wan'er whispered in her ear:

"Master, this is Wang Chengwei, the seventeenth son of Longyou, a descendant of the Taiyuan Wang family."

I saw Wang Chengwei pick up the wooden swallow and said directly:
"Wild grass and flowers by the Zhuque bridge, the setting sun is slanting at the entrance of Wuyi alley.

In the old days, the front swallow of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people. "

After the poem was finished, the audience fell silent.

A young scholar couldn't help clapping his hands and applauding, but he soon realized that something was wrong and shut his mouth immediately.

Princess Yanguang looked at Wang Chengwei. The Wuyi Lane written in this poem is the place where princes, princes and princes lived after the Eastern Jin Dynasty moved the capital to Jiankang.

In the old days of Wang Xietang Qianyan, the Wang family was the family of Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

When the Western Jin Dynasty traveled to the East in clothes, Wang Dao supported Jin Yuan Emperor Sima Rui to ascend the throne. At that time, there was a saying that "the king and the horse share the world".

The horse among them is the Sima family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the king is naturally the Wang family.

The Xie family, on the other hand, took the initiative in the Battle of Feishui and defeated the Xie An family of the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian.

The swallows in front of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people.

The vicissitudes of the world and the sighs of ups and downs expressed in this poem have far-reaching meanings, which make everyone have a deep aftertaste.

But opening with such a poem on such an occasion always feels a bit unlucky.

Princess Yanguang frowned and looked at Wang Chengwei, but the swallow in front of Wang Xietang fit the wooden sculpture of swallow she put into the flowing water.

And this Wang Chengwei came from the Taiyuan Wang family, but he happened to be the same clan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty Wang family.

He sighed with emotion that "the former swallow of Wang Xietang in the old days" made people speechless.

Princess Yanguang quickly realized that this should be a poem of persuasion.

Use the prosperity and decline of the Wang Xie family to persuade the father to work hard to govern!
It must be so!

Thinking of this, Princess Yanguang immediately said in an appreciative tone: "Good poem, good poem!"

Since the princess said it was a good poem, everyone also applauded.

The palace servant in charge of recording the poems copied the poems in small characters on snow-white Longyou rice paper, and asked Wang Chengwei to inscribe his name.

Wang Chengwei put the swallow wood carving back into the water, and Zhou Bo picked it up immediately.

He read carelessly:

"A new song with a glass of wine. Last year's weather was old. When will the sun set?

Helplessly, the flowers fell, and it seemed that Yan returned.Small garden fragrant path wandering alone. "

"Good poem!" Princess Yanguang blurted out now, and even the maid Wan'er applauded.

Compared with Wang Chengwei's satirical poems with far-reaching implications, Zhou Bo's "love poem" is more suitable for the princess.

This kind of beautiful flowers will always fall, and the emotion of the return of the familiar swallow makes Princess Yanguang crazy for a while.

The scholars present also applauded, but when they saw Zhou Bo's big and thick body, everyone murmured again, this Zhou brother looks like this, but he always writes such delicate poems, it is really a kind of violation of Zhang Fei's embroidery sense.

Then the other players in Longyou stood up and wrote poems, and the poems they chose were also famous poems handed down from later generations. After the 17 players finished reading their "made" poems, the whole courtyard fell silent.

The scholars fell silent.

How can one make poetry!
Of these seventeen poems, any one of them can become famous all over the world, but they all come from the same poetry meeting?
These are all to be written in a collection of poems and presented to the emperor!
Seventeen pearls and jades are in the front, and you have a rubbish poem in the back, doesn't that make the emperor dislike it?

Everyone lowered their heads one after another, knowing that the poems they wrote were very different from those written by the Seventeen Sons of Longyou, so don't be ashamed of them.

The lively poetry meeting suddenly cooled down, and Princess Yanguang was also a little excited.

These seventeen poems are all handed down poems, and they were all written down at his own poetry meeting.

This poem will definitely go down in history!And Princess Yanguang, who held the poetry meeting, will naturally leave a mark in the annals of history!
What a blessing to be able to host this literary event!

Wan'er struck out again, and the melodious voice resounded through the audience, Wan'er asked, "Is there any other gentleman who wants to compose a poem?"

At this time, a young scholar in white stood up and said:
"There is a poem about Wei Yingwu in Jingji."

Wei Yingwu stood up and said:

"Swallows with mud in their mouths, they make noises, and salivate. Where does autumn go, and spring comes and we meet again.

Wouldn't it solve the problem of flying high in the blue clouds, and what is the mud on the ground?Although the mud in the mouth is cheap, it has a good meaning,

Xingliang Asahi's nest is about to be completed.I don't see a hundred birds fearing people and sleeping in the forest, and being snatched for their flesh,

If you don't carry mud into the Chinese house.A swallow holds mud in its mouth, and the wisdom of a hundred birds cannot be equal. "

After Wei Yingwu finished his poem, the crowd burst into even louder applause.

"it is good!"

"Finally, there is a Central Plains scribe who can face Seventeen Sons of Longyou!"

"Although this poem is good, it still has a gap compared to those of Longyou Seventeen Sons."

"Brother Wei has the courage to stand up and write poetry, which is already very strong!"

"That's right, the seventeen sons of Longyou here are simply monsters, and each of these seventeen sons is a famous poem handed down from generation to generation!"

"Monster, monster, when did Longyou's literary style become so prosperous?"

"I heard from relatives who are in business that Longyou is prosperous now, and you can make a lot of money just by doing business."

"I've also heard that now as long as you import some goods from Longyou, you can bring them to Zhongyuan and sell them, and you can make a lot of money."

"If I can be a Jinshi, I will go to Longyou to be an official?"

"Don't dream, let's talk about it first! But it's not bad to be an official in Longyou, it's better than wasting time in the Ministry of Officials waiting for officials to be selected."

Everyone was chattering, and after Wei Yingwu wrote the title of her poem, Wan'er knocked it all out again, announcing the end of the poetry writing activity for this poetry meeting.

Then Wan'er put a delicate wooden boat model into the water, and she said to the scholars:
"Everyone write today's best poems on paper and put them into this boat. The one with the most votes will be the winner of today's poetry meeting."

The atmosphere of the poetry club became lively again, but the players, who were the focus of the poetry club, ate delicious food contentedly.

"The dim sum in the Princess Mansion is delicious!" Zhou Bo said with his mouth full of dim sum.

Wang Chengwei said disgustedly: "Swallow the thing before talking!"

However, Wang Chengwei is also in a good mood. It seems that the goal of becoming famous at the Qushui Liushang Banquet has been achieved!
The Tang Dynasty paid the most attention to talent and fame. With the reputation of this poetry meeting, although it is not guaranteed to win the exam, it can also guarantee that it can be judged fairly.

Just when the players were showing off in Fengxiang Mansion, Shazhou City welcomed an autumn rain.

The water lines gathered on the eaves fell to the ground, and Li Yan was listening to the report from the staff department.

"Your Highness, before the end of the month, the army led by Yu Chixin will arrive in Tongliao!"

Li Yan looked at the map, Tongliao Tongliao, the location is indeed very important.

Tongliao connects the Modong Grassland and the Northeast Plain, and is an important passage from the grassland to the Northeast.

Xu Jun said again: "Fang Guoshou has reached an agreement with the King of Bohai. The Bohai Kingdom will transfer the grain to Tongliao. Now the first batch of grain has been shipped."

Li Yan nodded, this is the most important part of the roundabout tactic.

With the player's fighting power, it is not difficult to occupy the Songmo Protectorate.

But to gain a foothold in the Songmo Protectorate, food and supplies are needed.

It would be too costly to provide supplies across the entire grassland.

Buying grain from the Bohai State is also an important part of the whole detour strategy.

Li Yan asked again: "How is the situation in Tongliao now?"

Xu Jun said: "Tongliao belongs to the Governor's Mansion of Songmo, and it is the confinement area of ​​the eight Khitan tribes conferred by the emperor."

"However, since the Tianbao period, Tongliao has been frequently invaded by Anlu Mountain."

"After the Anlu Mountain Rebellion, they were often arrested by the three towns of Hedong. Now many tribes of the eight Khitan tribes have fled Tongliao and fled to places further north."

Li Yan asked: "The Eight Khitan Clans can also be used. When the army arrives in Tongliao, they can take out the imperial court's order to conquer the Eight Khitan Clans and serve as the servants of the army."

Xu Jun said: "It's already being done now. The Yelu tribe, the largest of the eight Khitan tribes, has now fled to the Modong grassland."

"We have reached an agreement with the Yelu Department to conscript [-] light cavalry from the Yelu Department."

Li Yan asked again: "However, these barbarians in the Northeast must be used carefully, and they must not become a disaster for the North."

Xu Jun immediately said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, as long as we have guns in hand, I, Tang Dynasty, no longer need to be afraid of barbarians."

"Now the cannons have set off with the army. After Songmo builds the city and installs the cannons, the army will be able to gain a foothold in the northeast!"

According to players, firearms are epoch-making devices.

After the emergence of firearms, the intergenerational gap in weapons made the barbaric and backward nomads no longer able to threaten industrial civilization.

With a few thousand lobster soldiers from the British, India was able to occupy India. The North American colonists were able to kill Indians several times their own number as "protectors." Thousands of Spanish people were able to destroy the Inca Empire, all because of firearms. The advantage of firepower makes the personal quality of soldiers no longer an important factor in deciding battles.

Only a civilization with higher industrialization and a civilization that continuously produces firearms and ammunition can become the master of the world!
On the grassland, Liu Yan, who was appointed as the governor of the Songmo Governor's Mansion, was escorted by a team of players to Tongliao to take office.

Liu Yan set off with the supply convoy of the army. This [-]-man army brought [-] civilian husbands pushing carts.

Jiang Jin, the player in command of the team, suddenly ordered the troops to stop, with a smile on his lips, it seemed that the supply convoy was about to encounter some "little" troubles.

"The whole army is on alert!"
