Changsun Wuji did not explain why, and he was also in conflict with his heart. Du Shaoqing and Sun Simiao would not be aimless. It is not impossible that the intimate relatives get married and have children is stupid and deformed, so he is also waiting for the result.

It is naturally a good thing for the son Changsun Chong to marry the princess, but if he is stupid in the future, it will not add burden to the family, but it will also affect the reputation of the Changsun family and the royal family, so you must be cautious.

The time soon came to the Qujiangchi Poetry Festival five days later. It was the time for the court to rest, so Emperor Li Er brought the queen and several sons and daughters to the Qujiangchi that had been prepared long ago. The queen was with her husband. Princess Changle held Li Zi's sister with one hand and daughter with the other. Next to her was Princess Chengyang, who had broken the engagement not long ago.

Because it was afternoon, the poetry meeting had to start at night when the lights were held. It was not only cool at that time, but also added more color to the lanterns along the Qujiang Pool.

The noble young men who signed up for the poetry meeting were arranged in the pleasure boats along the way of Qujiangchi. Each boat was equipped with a boatman, a bookkeeper, a phone caller, and a waiter, and a total of four people. Just wait for someone to give a question, the young men on the boat made a masterpiece, and then handed over to the referee seat not far away for unified review.

If any poem is praised, it is qualified to be sang a masterpiece in public by the number reporter for the people to enjoy and enjoy together. Of course, this is also a good opportunity to become famous.

In addition to the famous noble talents invited by the court in advance, in order to demonstrate the original intention of selecting materials for the country with the people, the court also set up a registration office at the gate of Qujiangchi. As long as ordinary people can hand in their own masterpiece, if they are approved by the reviewer, they can also participate in the competition.

You should know that it is difficult for poor students in this era to make a name for themselves. Their literary background is not as good as that of nobles. With personal material, there is almost no talent among ordinary students. Most people don’t even have books at home, and literacy is a problem, so don’t mention reciting poems correctly.

Du Shaoqing also followed Qin Huaidao to Qujiangchi in Chang'an City. After reporting the name, someone naturally led his pleasure boat, and even Qin Huaidao was taken away. Changsun rushed out of this plan to target the entire second-generation gang of military generals. No matter whether you can or not, you will have a share of it as the title of the Duke and Prince.

Just like Cheng Chumo and the princes of the Yuchi brothers who are not a little bit crazy and like to kill, if you don’t like it or think you can’t do it, you can abstain. It just so happens that many civilian scholars outside the door are rushing to come in, but they are forced to be the audience because they have no boat seat.

Who can bear such a shame? So even if you stay in the boat without showing up or writing poems, no one abstained from being an audience member.

The referees were the top scholars among the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace back then. Of course, they were also great scholars who were famous in the Tang Dynasty. Among them were the Shangshu Zuo Pushe Fang Xuanling, the Imperial College Priest Kong Yingda, the Imperial College Priest Lu Deming, the Imperial College Priest Yu Shinan, the great scholar Yao Silian, Chu Liang, Xu Jingzong, the great scholar Yan Shigu and others.

After everyone sat down, they started chatting. Kong Yingda was next to Yu Shinan. The two of them were old friends of many years. Kong Yingda asked in a low voice: "I heard you gave me a small meal for Mr. Keming? If you ask me, you shouldn't have been to this muddy water. I know that the child is not talented and cannot even pass the entrance examination of the Imperial College. If you go and teach him, if there is no result today, wouldn't it be a loss of your reputation?"

Yu Shinan smiled, as if he was not concerned, glanced at Kong Yingda and retorted to him: "No, how can you take it seriously if you hearsay? I believe you have never really had contact with that child.

I think on the contrary, he is a talented person who can be cultivated, and he is not as talentless as rumored, but rather a straightforward and pure good boy, which is quite consistent with my appetite."

"It's impossible. I personally assigned the chief clerk of the Imperial College. He dare not deceive me and His Majesty." Kong Yingda said in surprise.

"Haha, I'm not easy to interrupt your Imperial College. I'll know if it's a deception or other reasons after trying it today.

However, Chongyuan (Kong Yingda's word), as a referee today, you should not look down on that child with preconceptions." Yu Shinan reminded.

Kong Yingda's old face turned red, and his old friend said something obscure, but the two of them had been together for many years and naturally understood that the other party gave him face. This means that there was something wrong with Du Shaoqing's last assessment, and it seems that we have to pay attention today.

"Don't worry, I am in charge of national education. How did I do unfair things in academic practice by committing favoritism and fraud?" Kong Yingda nodded.

Emperor Li Er was also talking to his uncle Changsun Wuji, who was beside him, "Xiao Chong, this child has really grown up and knows how to share the country's worries. This Qujiangchi Garden Poetry Festival is indeed good. It can not only inspire talents to learn, but also add a good activity to Chang'an to have fun with the people.

In my opinion, if this garden party is successful, it can be held every year in the future.”

"Your Majesty has been too rewarded, and it is his duty to contribute to the country.

I also think that such good things can be held every year. Your Majesty, do you see if there should be any reward? Although it is to make friends through literature, if there is a lottery, it will add more color." Changsun Wuji suggested.

Li Er smiled and said, "Okay, I'll send the order. Today, I will personally award the title of the poetry meeting for my three-legged pen. I will reward you with another piece of money, silk and silk. If you are the first person, I will give you an imperial pen."

As soon as the news came out, the audience was filled with excitement. Everyone yearned for the emperor's imperial pen. That was the imperial pen that His Majesty reviewed memorials every day, and was stained with dragon energy and literary spirit. If they could get it, it would not only be an honor, but even if you have such a thing to protect you in the future, you might even be able to rise to the top.

The ancients were the most respectful of ghosts and gods, and the one who spread it ten or ten times a hundred times will spread it mysteriously.

The two little kids beside the queen looked at the various pleasure boats on Qujiangchi. They all thought it was novel and fun, and they even clamored to get a boat to play. How could such a young child let her play in the water? So Princess Changle and Princess Chengyang held them tightly and persuaded them repeatedly.

Xiao Xuanxuan lay in her mother's arms and asked in a low voice: "Mom, didn't you say that Dad would come to participate too? Can we go to the boat to find him?"

The princess touched her daughter's little head and comforted her: "Looking at this series of so many ships, I don't know which boat your father is in, how can we find him? Let's wait until he wins against others and walk out of the ship by himself."

When the little girl heard this, she laughed instantly, "Hehe, this is simple, will I find him if I call my dad out?"
