After returning to Jiangcheng, Pingling Jun was assigned to an idle position. However, because he was respectful to wise men and humble to humble people, he accepted many retainers and gave many good advice to the royal court. Both the number and quality of his retainers were comparable to those of Prime Minister Luo Yan.
Such a young man, everyone can see what he is thinking.
But apart from being a retainer, he never made any move to fight for power. It seemed that he only wanted to prove to his father through his actions: you made the wrong choice.
Unfortunately, since Prince Li went into seclusion, the young Zhao Ning took over as regent and also showed a strong talent for governing the country, which put Zhao Qi in an awkward situation.
But... does Zhao Qi really only have those cards on the surface?
Ying Wuji thinks not. You keep proving how good you are, but you don't get involved in power. What's the difference between this and hoarding food but not guns? Are you afraid that you will die too late?
But the fact is, Zhao Qi has been treated well over the years, and Zhao Ning has no intention of touching him at all.
Ying Wuji didn’t know much about the deeper secrets of the Li Kingdom, but he was almost certain that Zhao Qi had a card in his hand.
This card was either a card that even Zhao Ning was extremely afraid of, or it was a boarding pass for a flight to the underworld...
However, these shitty things should have nothing to do with me in the short term.
A long time had passed, and everyone who was supposed to be seated had already done so, and the time for the literary gathering had finally arrived.
"when……"
When the bronze bell rang, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became solemn.
This literary gathering will be hosted by officials from the Zhou Music Bureau and the Prime Minister of the State of Li, so it will naturally be more grand and the ceremony must be held in full accordance with Zhou rituals.
Although Jiang Taiyuan looked like a rough man, he seemed to be quite familiar with Zhou Li and followed the rules step by step in a proper manner.
After the ceremony was over, he took out the Zhou emperor's edict and read it aloud, expressing his love for the people of the world, and read out the original intention of the establishment of the Music Bureau. After the recitation was completed, he said aloud:
"This literary gathering is also a grand gathering of hundreds of schools of thought, and it is of great significance. I hope you will not be stingy with your literary talent. The Prime Minister and I will share your excellent works!"
After saying this, he sat down in the main seat and wiped the sweat from his forehead imperceptibly.
It seems that he is not having an easy time...
Ying Wuji smiled. It seemed that this Music Bureau Commander was not that skilled and comfortable in his job. No one knew how and why he got there.
etc!
The Hundred Schools of Thought Festival is about to begin. As the Director of the Music Bureau, Jiang Taiyuan will probably be able to skip the quota and participate in the Hundred Schools of Thought Festival on the same status as the elite students.
This... feels like an overreaction. After all, it's just like winning the first prize in an Olympic science competition just to get a discount on spicy noodles.
But when it comes to Jiang Taiyuan, it doesn’t seem so unreasonable.
After the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty finished speaking, it was the turn of the Prime Minister Luo Yan. He also said a lot of nonsense before slowly sitting down: "For the preliminary topic, you can choose anything here. There is no limit to the subject matter and genre. You can show your talents."
Just yesterday, the literary conference announced its contents.
The entire literary gathering is divided into two parts. The first part is for self-selected topics, and the best ones will be recorded.
The after-get off work part is the topic set by the prince in Qingjiang Palace. We don’t know what it is exactly yet, but the two best ones will pass.
Of course, if a work that carries meaning appears, it will be a different matter. The three places will all be filled with works that carry meaning and inherit the truth.
Luo Yan glanced at the hundreds of scholars present and said, "Quatrains and regulated verses have just been included in the collection of Yuefu in recent years. Dali is a city with a flourishing culture, so the opening theme should be seven-character regulated verse. Is there anyone who dares to be the first to open with a poem?"
After he finished speaking, the scene was quiet for a while.
Although many people are eager to try, it is the opening poem after all, and it must be the most eye-catching by nature. The requirements are naturally much higher. If you don’t do it well, you will definitely be laughed at by your classmates.
Ying Wuji turned around and glanced at Hua Chao, and whispered, "Sister Hua Chao, take out the poem I prepared for you quickly..."
Hua Chao raised his head, his eyes brightened for a moment, but when he saw the gentle girl sitting at the same table with Luo Yan, his eyes dimmed again: "Forget it..."
She hadn't spoken a word since she came here, and she was in an extremely low mood.
Ying Wuji would rather she hated him as much as before than see her like this.
I felt so distressed at that moment that I stood up immediately.
"I'll do it!"
Hua Chao was startled: "Wuji..."
Ying Wuji patted the back of her hand, signaling her not to worry.
When Luo Yan saw Ying Wuji standing up, his eyelids twitched. Why was it him again?
Zhao Ning couldn't help but cover his eyes.
Still coming! ?
There was also a whisper on the field.
"Young Master Wuji, so he's here too?"
"Although the crown prince's position is gone, his bookstore business is booming. Why can't I come?"
"I still remember the line 'This song should only exist in heaven'. It was really amazing. Regardless of his talent in cultivation and political affairs, I admire his literary talent very much."
"There is also the song 'Looking Out the Window'. At first glance, I thought the lyrics were nonsense, but when I listened to it along with the opera, it was absolutely beautiful."
"Huh? Did you go to listen that day? I didn't go because I had something to do that day, and then I came back to hear all kinds of compliments from my classmates, and then the next day I was banned along with the "Chopping of Beautiful Eucalyptus" when I looked through the window."
"Hush...Luo Xiang is still here, and you are discussing this. Are you trying to save your life?"
"I just don't know what Ying Wuji will write this time, but I'm still looking forward to it."
Luo Yan frowned slightly: "It is a good thing that Master Wuji dares to start with a poem, but..."
"It's nothing but!"
Ying Wuji jumped directly to the stone wall and said in a loud and passionate voice: "It is our duty to maintain the friendly exchanges between Ganli culture!"
Luo Yan: “…”
Coming again?
