The System Made Me a Fool

　　This matter was Yan Ge's inspiration during the day, but it was only delayed until now after being disrupted by the Jianshuang matter.

　　It turned out that Yan Ge was inspired by the fact that Shudie was sent by him to build the Yingloufeng Pavilion in the whole country, so he wanted to organize a super-large ship gang controlled by the royal family to control the country's inland shipping.

　　After all, Dawei's territory is so vast and commerce is so developed now that the revenue from shipping alone is astronomical.

　　If the royal family can develop this industry into their own private property, then Yan Ge will be really rich.

Chapter 266 Talented

　　After hearing Yan Ge's idea, Wu Yarou expressed her approval.

　　Yan Ge added: "In this way, the brothers of your Yuxiang Gang don't need to be disbanded, and you don't even need to change the name of the Yuxiang Gang, just become the 'Yuxiang Chamber of Commerce'. It can be said that everyone is very happy."

　　"But husband, what if my concubine misses you?"

　　Speaking of which, Wu Yarou looked at Yan Ge with tears in her eyes, and Lin Donghui also looked like she was about to cry.

　　"If you miss me, you can come to the palace at any time to find me!"

　　Yan Ge laughed.

　　So he immediately ordered that Wu Ya and Lin Donghui be named Zhaoyi, and Teng allowed the two to walk outside the palace, but they had the privilege of entering the palace at any time.

　　In this way, Wu Yarou can not only devote herself to the water career she loves, but also help Yan Ge, and also solve the pain of lovesickness. It can be said that it is a perfect arrangement for all three.

　　Of course, even so, when they parted, Wu Yarou and the mother and daughter were still weeping and crying, Yan Ge comforted them for a long time, promising that once he returned to Beijing, he would immediately bring the two daughters to reunite. He nodded in tears.

　　Yan Ge, who had been away from the Dragon Boat for many days, finally returned to the Dragon Boat with the company of Kuijiang Kuihe and Jianshuang.

　　At this time, there was only one day left before the opening of the poetry conference in Lin'an, and Queen Lin Peiyao sent someone to the Yuxiang Gang to tie the emperor back. Fortunately, Yan Ge finally showed up.

　　The girls complained and complained, and that night, they were still obsessed with the emperor Xiaobie until late at night.

　　On the second day, the sky was clear and the wind was gentle.

　　The Qiantang River is full of ships of various sizes, all of whom have come from all over the country to participate in the grand event.

　　There are wealthy families, so naturally they own a small boat, comfortable, of course, there are also shabby ones. Considering this, the court also specially built boats that can accommodate many days for these talents to use.

　　In the morning, the emperor first worshipped the ancestral temple of Lin'an Fu, located on the bank of Qiantang River, where the Yan family made their fortune.

　　After that, Lin'an Prefecture organized all the people to pay homage to the emperor, and the scene was spectacular.

　　In the afternoon, the poetry conference officially started.

　　This poetry conference adopts an invitation system. Only talents who have a certain reputation in the country can be invited to participate in this event. The method of the competition is very simple. , The content of poetry or lyrics must be consistent with the title given by the emperor.

　　As for the final score, a rating system is adopted. The works written by the talented people will be rated by several literary masters in the Jingshi University. Only those who reach the excellent level can enter the next round of competition.

　　After a few rounds, the winner will be determined for the final, and at this time, of course, the emperor will personally point out the "best talent in the world" in his mind.

　　Up.

　　On the dragon boat at this time, suave celebrities have gathered. Since this is an elegant gathering after all, Yan Ge did not make it as serious as the imperial examination, but gave the contestants the freedom to be in designated areas. Walk around, talk, and play freely.

　　After all, this thing is not handled like the imperial examination. On the spot, the question is asked, and the test is all true. It is a mule or a horse that comes out for a walk! What was the first question Yan Ge asked? He looked at the vast river. The waves were surging on the top, and he said casually: "The tide of the Qiantang River is magnificent, I will use this 'wave' topic, all talents, show your magic!"

　　People got the question, the way of thinking

　　Different.

　　Some people belong to the bitter yin group, with their brows furrowed, as if encountering some unfortunate event, they pace back and forth in great pain, while others belong to the casual group, drinking small wine, admiring the river view, and waiting for inspiration to come. Some people close their eyes and think, some people scribble and draw on paper, some people write poems in seven steps on the spot, some people say: Huazhang.

　　It has to be said that this event is full of talents.

　　This first round of competition had the most participants and took the longest time. It was dusk when the talents handed over the poems to the jury in paper form, and the jury rated them individually.

　　Yan Ge also stood with the famous teachers of the Beijing Normal University, and shared their works together. Soon, he was very moved by a piece of "Fortune-telling".

　　"The waves on the paddles are flat, and the green hills are locked on the shore.

　　You go home and I go home, talking about how to live.

　　I don't think about it, you don't think about me.

　　Give your past and my heart to others."

　　[Song Xiezhi] This poem is written with sincerity and emotion. It is a masterpiece that touches people's hearts. Yan Ge can't help but ask: "Who is the author of this poem?"

　　A professor of the Imperial Academy of Beijing looked at it and said, "Your Majesty, the author of this poem is Yong Yimin."

　　"Oh, Yong Yimin, that's a famous 'geek' in Jiangnan."

　　Another professor next to him also said.

　　Yan Ge was puzzled and asked, "Why do geeks call this person a geek?"

　　"Your Majesty, I heard that this person has never shown his true body, and has only submitted his works to a few poetry clubs in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has become famous since then.

　　It stands to reason that if people are famous, they all want to show themselves.

　　This Yong Yimin did the exact opposite, and was unwilling to reveal his true body no matter what.

　　"That's really weird!"

　　Yan Ge smiled and said, "Anyway, this "Bu Shuanzi" has been hand-picked by me as the top of the first round of the list!"

　　"Yes, Your Majesty!"

　　After the first round of competition, the setting sun had already set in the west, and the number of contestants on the dragon boat suddenly dropped a lot. Yan Ge said, "Since it is just the time of the setting sun, I will title it 'Setting Sun', everyone, please!"

　　The setting sun has always been poetic since ancient times. The talented people thought hard about the sky, their thoughts were flying, and they soon became popular, and one after another was handed over.

　　"The creeks and mountains are hidden in the setting sun, and the shadows of the roofs and terraces move with mandarin ducks.

　　There are two or three houses on the other side of the bank, and the red apricot flowers are out of the wall.

　　Get off the road at the Green Poplar Embankment and go to the stream in the morning and evening.

　　When I see Liu Mianfei three times, I still haven’t returned from anyone.”

　　[Mrs. Song Wei] "This "Bodhisattva Man" is good, really good!"

　　Yan Ge applauded and shouted, "I don't know who this great talent is."

　　Several teachers looked for their names, and their expressions suddenly changed, only to see "Yong Yimin" on the paper again.

　　Three letters.

　　"This guy is amazing!"

　　Yan Ge tsk tsk exclaimed, "This time, I must see the true face of this master."

　　"Go on, let Yong Yimin's "Bodhisattva Man" be placed at the top of the second round of the list!"

　　Yan Ge's nomination this time has caused a sensation among literati. If the first time on the list can be said to be lucky, then the second time on the list is completely a manifestation of strength.

　　How holy is this Yong Yimin, and how can he be so favored by His Majesty the Emperor! Fei Lu reminds you: three things to read, collect, push

Chapter 267 Ye Yu

　　By the time the third and final round of the game was played, it was already night.

　　The emperor was especially gracious, and a night banquet was held on the dragon boat. The contestants could not only drink with the emperor, but the emperor would also give questions on the spot at the banquet, and let the participants drink and compose poems. I don't know how the talented people after drinking will behave at the banquet, Yan Ge drank some fine wine while chatting with the talented people around, and it was quite arty.

　　After three rounds of drinking, Yan Ge pondered that it was time to ask the question, and suddenly a commotion came from below: "Miss Yeyu, it's Miss Yeyu!"

　　Yan Ge got up and looked at it, and was immediately stunned. In the crowd, a fairy in the painting walked slowly. She was wearing a small tulle with lake blue embroidery, and her head was in a chic and shocking bun. Just like Xizi holding his heart, the beauty is intoxicating, and his gesture is like the wind returning to the snow, and the green waves are swaying the hearts of every talented person present.

　　"Who is this Yeyu girl?"

　　Yan Ge blankly asked a talented man on the left.

　　The man replied, "Miss Yeyu is known as the number one beauty in the south of the Yangtze River, and she is the oiran of the Yicui Tower in Lin'an. I don't know how many famous people in the south of the Yangtze River want to marry her, but she doesn't love anyone, she just doesn't know this. Why is Fan here?"

　　Yan Ge also thought it was very strange, and cross-examined left and right: "Hey, what are you doing to eat, how did you let a girl's family enter the game?"

　　At this time, Ye Yu spoke slowly: "Your Majesty, don't blame them, I am Yong Yimin, who you nominated for the top spot, but I was just a woman disguised as a man to participate in the competition."

　　"what!"

　　As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the audience.

　　Yeyu girl is Yong Yimin, and the famous oiran in the south of the Yangtze River is actually the amazing and mysterious genius Yong Yimin. Yeyu's words made the people present couldn't believe it anyway.

　　"If your majesty and the princes don't believe it, please ask your majesty to answer the question on the spot, and the little girl will answer it."

　　Ye Yu's voice was as crisp and clear as a lark.

　　Yan Ge nodded, wanting to verify the body is very simple, Yong Yimin's talent is visible to the naked eye, he only needs to ask another question and see if Ye Yu can make a masterpiece of the same level as the previous two, then he will know whether she is true or false. Li Kui is gone.

　　So Yan Ge led the crowd out of the cabin. The river wind at night blew his face, and his alcoholism dissipated a lot. Looking up at the sky full of stars, he said, "You gentlemen, let's write a poem on the river with the title of 'the stars'!"

　　"star"

　　It is a common image and subject matter in poetry. With this theme, everyone has a lot to write about.

　　Since there were only a dozen or so contestants left at this time, Yan Ge simply ordered them to recite the works he had created on the spot.

　　This not only tests their talents, but also shows their courage.

　　Not long after, a long-bearded man walked up to Yan Ge and gave a nod, then shook his head and recited a seven-character quatrain he created. I have to say that the person who dares to be the first one is indeed a true learner. , his poems are catchy and fit the situation, and it is a very good on-the-spot proposition poem.

　　After this person passed, several other talented people offered poems to Yan Ge, but the response was mediocre, until a man with a small stature composed a song called "Magnolia Flowers with Subtracted Characters". Rare masterpiece.

　　The audience burst into applause.

　　Ye Yu raised her head and said:

　　"Gentlemen, do you have the best work you can get, then let the little girl show her ugliness."

　　Although Ye Yu was the most beautiful woman in the south of the Yangtze River, among the talented people who were not famous, they were arrogant and arrogant when they saw a courtesan speak so rudely, and they all said unhappily, "Miss Yeyu, you are so mad."

　　"Yeah, Miss Yeyu, if you don't play the zither and play the zither well in the Yicui Building, what are you doing here?"

　　In the face of these doubts, Ye Yu just smiled faintly, made a wish to Yan Ge, and said, "Your Majesty, please listen."

　　Yan Ge said: "I would like to hear the girl's masterpiece."
