Datang: It’s a showdown, I’m an all-around master

Chapter 36
The poetry competition is coming as scheduled.

On this day, many people gathered in Shi Yuan.

Naturally, many people participated.

There are also many onlookers.

This kind of scene only happens once a year.

Most people won't miss it.

They all want to see what the state of literati and poets are like.

You can also learn by the way.

Maybe in the future we will be able to be like those winners.

If you can earn hundreds of copper coins by reciting a poem.

That is also a kind of pride.

Even when you are chatting, you can also say: I am a poet who has won the Poetry Contest.

There is a sense of honor in saying such words.

The poetry competition was crowded with crowds.

But as the emperor said.

Only a few hundred people actually participated in the poetry writing.

Compared with the writers of Internet novels of later generations, it is much less.

Even compared to the scene of the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, there were much fewer people.

Chang Sun Chong was full of enthusiasm, and when he walked into the poetry garden, he was very proud.

Look very proud.

When everyone saw the eldest grandson rushing in, they all talked a lot.

I don't know when, the story of a princess betrothed by a daughter to two boys also spread.

"I heard that this poetry competition is different."

"What's different, isn't it the same as last year?"

"Of course it's different. I heard that this year's poetry competition will give titles to the person who writes the best poem."

"really?"

"Of course it's true."

"I also heard that Princess Changle was betrothed to Changsun Chong, and later betrothed to a person. Today, that person will compete with Changsun Chong in this poetry competition. The winner will be married to Princess Changle. Together."

"I've heard about it too."

"Then this man will lose, how can he win against Chang Sun Chong?"

"That's right, that's right, who is Changsun Chong, the son of Mrs. Changsun, who is well-informed, and naturally writes first-rate poetry."

Some people didn't take it seriously, and after hearing these words, they said: "Really, I heard that Changsun Chongwen is not very good, it can be described as mediocre."

"I've also heard that this time Chang Sun Chong and that person are not only competing in the literary test, but also in the martial arts test. The total scores of the two comprehensive tests are added up, and the winner will be the princess."

"It seems to be the case."

"This year's poetry competition must be very intense."

When Changsun rushed into the poetry garden, a handsome man stood up and greeted him.

This person is Du Gou, the eldest son of Du Ruhui.

"Young master grandson, this year's grand prize is none other than you!"

Chang Sun Chong cupped his fists and said, "Brother Du is not bad, the first prize must belong to you."

Chang Sun Chong was not polite.

In the words, he actually took the special prize on himself.

Seeing this, Du Gou's younger brother, Du He, felt disgusted with Chang Sun Chong's condescension.

But suffering in front of the eldest brother, he didn't speak.

Du Gou clasped his fists together and said: "My grandson has won the award. I really have no talent. I just came to join in the fun. I don't plan to compose poems later."

Chang Sun Chong suddenly looked contemptuous.

I thought to myself, what are you doing in this poetry garden if you don’t write poems.

Is it purely for fun?
"Brother Du is very elegant, very good! Very good!"

Changsun Chong laughed and said.

At this time, Du He who was at the side said: "Master Changsun, I heard that you are going to have a competition with the famous Yi Yi doctor today, you are ready, I have heard that Yi Yin is very talented and has a lot of knowledge. Be full of knowledge, don't accidentally lose, it will really lose face and embarrass your wife!"

After Changsun Chong heard this, he immediately understood Du He's sarcasm, and was immediately upset.

Just about to get angry, at this time Fang Xuanling's second son came over, clasped his fists at Changsun Chong, Du Gou, and Du He and said:

"Morning, three!"

Chang Sun Chong glared at Du Gou angrily.

Turning to Fang Yiai, she clasped her fists and said, "Morning Brother Fang, what poems are you preparing for this year?"

"No, no, I'm not going to write poetry this year, I just came here to see who won the prize."

He smiled, looked at Changsun Chong and said, "I heard that you are going to compete with Miracle Doctor Yi on whose poem is better, and you have bet on the princess, Young Master Changsun must win! I support you!"

"As far as Miracle Yi Yi is concerned, I think it's probably not worthy of the name, it's probably blown out."

Fang Yiai added.

"I've heard that Miracle Doctor Yi is truly talented, even the emperor is praising him, it's not just blowing it out."

At this time, a man came over, looked at the person who was discussing and said.

"Cheng Chubi, are you coming to participate in the poetry competition?"

Chang Sun Chong asked in surprise.

"That's right, what does the eldest grandson want to say?"

The eldest grandson Chong laughed loudly: "It's so funny that the son of the big boss will also rely on poetry for food."

"Yes, Cheng Chubi, I advise you to go back quickly." Fang Yiai also said.

"Young master grandson, I think you should be more careful. Du He is right. I'm afraid you will lose face if you lose your wife."

"Go, go, you big bastard, what do you know?"

Chang Sun Chong waved his hand, not bothering to talk to Cheng Chubi.

"Chu Bi, hurry up and go, your father doesn't know a single word, why are you messing around?" Fang Yiai also said.

Cheng Chubi looked at Fang Yi'ai and said, "Young Master Fang, what are you doing here? Your father is sitting on it, can you participate? You need to avoid suspicion, go out quickly, and make trouble here."

It is true that Fang Yiai cannot participate in the poetry competition.

Fang Xuanling is the one who participated in the selection, he really needs to avoid suspicion.

these people.

They are all the sons of the current ministers.

It can be described as the second generation of officials.

Except for Du Gou's father, Du Ruhui, who is no longer alive, everyone else is still alive.

We usually meet each other.

Now that we meet, we can naturally talk together.

It's just that each of them has plans in their hearts.

Chang Sun Chong's ambition was the highest.

In the entire poetry garden, it seemed that he was the only one who was extremely proud and defiant.

Those who actually participated in the poetry competition have already sat in their seats.

On the front table.

Sitting there are five people, Fang Xuanling, Yu Shinan, Wang Ji, Yu Zhining, and Han Shanzi.

When Chang Sun Chong saw these people, a smile appeared on his face.

These people are old acquaintances with his father.

I will definitely treat myself well later.

Next to these people sat the Emperor Li Shimin, Empress Changsun, and Princess Changle.

Liu Renyuan and Gao Ruyue stood beside the Emperor and Empress Changsun respectively.

Even the emperor and empress participated in the annual poetry competition.

One can imagine how important this poetry competition is.

The emperor sat there confidently, chatting with the eldest grandson empress.

He wasn't worried about Yi Yin.

Just rely on this sentence "I am born to be useful".

He felt that Yi Yin would never lose to Changsun Chong in the poetry competition.

Yi Yin is indeed well educated and talented.

This casual chant is such a good poem.

Compared with Cao Zijian in the past, it is even worse.

Great, really tall.

"what?"

Empress Changsun suddenly looked down in surprise.

"what happened?"

Li Shimin asked.

"Why hasn't Miracle Doctor Yi come yet?"

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this!
