Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 57: Chang'an Poetry Society, Jinyang Jushi
"what!"

The little sizi subconsciously covered the knocked head, pouted and said: "The queen mother is too much, today sizi came to ask you for help, but it's fine if you don't help sizi, and let sizi go to the Imperial College and the Poetry Association. "

"Wuuuuuuu, Sizi really doesn't want to go."

Empress Changsun saw her youngest daughter being so wronged, her heart tightened, she stepped forward and hugged Xiao Si's head, and said softly: "Little Si, regarding the matter of the Imperial College, the Empress Mother will decide for you, so there is no need to go there for the time being."

"The Poetry Fair is held once a year in Chang'an City. It is very meaningful. You must go."

"And this poetry meeting is different from previous years. Almost half of the southern students gathered. It can be said to be the largest and most famous in recent years."

"Southern students have always been better than our northern students. In the past, due to distance restrictions, southern students rarely came to Chang'an City, but this year they came a lot. The mother received news a few days ago that almost half of the restaurants in Chang'an City It was ordered by students from the south."

"This poetry meeting can be said to be full of gold content. Not only that, but also from the imperial court, there will be ministers in the court and respected Confucian grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian, Xiao Yu, Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun and others. Together as referees."

"The number of students and the attention paid by the imperial court are unprecedented. This has never been a grand event in the past few years."

"So, Xiao Si, we have to go to participate, you know?!"

Empress Changsun was extremely serious.

The little son didn't know what to do, he gnawed his finger and said: "Then mother, why is the poem different this time? It's so much better than before?"

Empress Changsun took out her handkerchief, stepped forward and took out her little son's fingers from her mouth to wipe off the saliva: "Silly boy, it's not good to gnaw on your fingers, the queen will wipe them for you."

Empress Changsun said while wiping, her voice full of tenderness.

"The reason why this poetry meeting is unprecedented is that there is a very powerful person who announced that he will participate in the poetry meeting."

"This person is named Jinyang Layman."

"He has made his name in the past two years, and his literary level is the best in my Tang Dynasty. Many southern students are young and energetic, and they want to take advantage of this poetry meeting to challenge this outstanding person and make a name for themselves. Ten thousand."

Little Si tilted her head, and said in a childish voice, "Jinyang Layman? You look so powerful."

Empress Changsun laughed and said: "Well, this person is really powerful. His literary talents can make the whole southern scholars come here because of him. This is something that the imperial court could not do in previous years. How powerful is it?"

"As for the imperial court, Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, and several other great Confucian scholars never participated in young people's poetry gatherings, and they also participated because of Jinyang Layman."

"In addition, little son, your father's palace, after we enter, can't we see a pair of poems hanging on the wall? Those poems, which are majestic as a whole, can inspire the emperor, are from Jinyang Layman hands."

Besides.

There is another extremely important attribute of this poetry meeting.

Choose poor talent! !
The preparation period for the poetry meeting was half a month ago.

At that time, when Li Shimin asked for food, he was suppressed by the family. From the food incident, Li Shimin knew that there were too many family officials around him.

We are in urgent need of poor talents! !
A lot of poor talent! !

So after the food incident ended, Li Shimin personally issued a decree to attach importance to the Chang'an Poetry Association, and specially set extremely generous rewards for the Chang'an Poetry Association.

Those who get the top three will be rewarded by the court, and even those who are amazingly talented will be directly entrusted with official positions.

It's like a small imperial examination.

No, in a sense, this poetry meeting is even more important than the imperial examination, because in this poetry meeting, important officials of the court will be present, and even Li Shimin may come to witness the performance of various talents. of.

It is precisely because of the rewards from Jinyang Jushi and Li Shimin that at that time, no matter if they are children from poor families, children from aristocratic families, or children from noble families, they will participate in the plenary meeting! !

Regarding rewards, Empress Changsun did not tell Xiao Sizi clearly that the difficulties, conspiracies, and various family calculations encountered by her father were too dark, and she did not want her precious daughter to know about them.

"Wow!" Little Si's eyes seemed to be shining, and he opened his small mouth and said, "So amazing! Queen Mother, who is better at literature between him and second brother!!"

Empress Changsun rolled her eyes.

Kuan'er touches the fish king, and the Jinyang layman has been proficient in poetry for several years. Is this comparable? !
His own daughter was really spoiled by Kuan'er.

Not even common knowledge of the world.

"If it's literary talent, it must be Jinyang Layman who is even more powerful."

Empress Changsun did not hide her inner thoughts.

In her mind, no one can match Jinyang Layman in terms of literary talent.

Did not hear the desired answer.

The little boy became angry immediately.

With her little hands on her hips, she pursed her mouth angrily.

Just when she was about to speak.

Empress Changsun took the lead and said: "Little son, the queen mother knows what you are thinking, since you doubt the talent of Jinyang Layman, you go with Changle at night, witness this talent with your own eyes, and then make a judgment, okay?"

"After you've gone, if you still think that this person's talent is inferior to that of Kuan'er, the queen mother will apologize to you, how about that?"

Xiao Si's small eyes rolled, as if he was considering his own interests.

half an hour.

The little face is full of fighting spirit.

"Hmph, queen mother, just go! Sizi doesn't believe that he is better than second brother!!"

"Mother, you just wait to apologize, the second brother is invincible in the world!!"

Empress Changsun breathed a sigh of relief, it's good if she can go, but she has fooled the little guy.

She smiled and said, "Okay, okay~ The queen mother knows."

then.

He looked at the colored textbook again.

"Little son, can you lend that book to the queen mother for a day?"

The little son held up the math book: "Huh? The queen mother wants this. The math content is so boring. The son is so smart that it is difficult to read it. Does the mother really want to read it?"

"Ah."

Empress Changsun nodded.

that book,
Whether it is the colorful cover, or the density and fineness of the paper, it is beyond the Tang Dynasty's current stage. Even if you don't read the content inside, Empress Changsun wants to know because of its appearance.

"Then lend it to the mother-in-law, ah yes, the mother-in-law, can you return it to my son tomorrow? The son is afraid that the second brother will come back suddenly, and then check his studies. If he doesn't find the textbook, he will blame the son."

Empress Changsun burst into a smile: "Okay, no problem, I will return it to the smartest little son in our family tomorrow."

"Hee hee! The mother is gone, the son is just a little bit smarter, here, the book is for the mother."

Little Si put the math book on the table.

He stayed in the Changsun empress's palace for a long time, and after eating, he returned to his palace contentedly.

After she left, Empress Changsun picked up the math book, her beautiful eyes flickering.
