Chapter one hundred and twenty seven fighting poems(1/2)

Back at the Accord, Tang Song sat down next to Shangguan Wan'er, and took her hand and stroked her.

Shangguan Wan'er pulled her but couldn't break free, so she stopped struggling. After coming from the small dark room of the Yeting Palace, whenever she was alone with Tang Song, this man who seemed much younger than her was always unwilling to be honest and was also overbearing, which really made her helpless. [The latest updates are all in search.]

As he stroked and stroked, Tang Song began to draw circles on his pink little hand, and in his fingertips and palms, Shangguan Wan'er was itchy and whispering.

Shangguan Wan'er was originally focused on listening to the outside comments, but Tang Song was messing around and couldn't hear it. After several gestures failed, she felt extremely hatred. She suddenly pulled her hand back and said with her teeth: "Is it because I'm talking about you outside, so I can't be more attentive and honest. Isn't you really worry about it?"

A beauty is a beauty, and even if she gets angry, she has a different appearance. But she forgot that the person sitting in front of her will always turn into a scoundrel every time she is alone with him. What effect can her anger do for a scoundrel?

Before Shangguan Wan'er was angry, she felt her waist tightening and she was actually being picked up by Tang Song. The next moment, Shangguan Kaizhao, who was powerful in the six palaces, sat firmly in Tang Song's arms.

After tying Shangguan Wan'er in his arms with his arms, Tang Song lowered his head and put his lips on her ears and chuckled: "The selected collection of poems is a wonderful and wonderful magical product. Compared with the collection of poems of Cui Lu, Li and Zheng, the four families of poems, is nothing but a rubble of native dogs. This result does not need to be read, so why do you waste your time?"

The whisper was meticulous, "It's really not easy for you to come out, and it's even more difficult for us to have such a lonely time. But it's not easy, so you should cherish it even more. Why are you ruined by these boring things? Wan'er, you should remember two lines of music and lyrics."

Tang Song's voice was extremely light and soft, which made Shangguan Wan'er itchy. The itch just now was on his hands, but now it went through his ears to his heart. This itch only made Shangguan Wan'er lose his strength, and he stopped struggling for reserve.

Forget it, forget it, since it's just futile, why bother to struggle?

His body became soft, and Shangguan Wan'er was buried in Tang Song's arms, and he responded casually: "What?"

"It's hard for me to come out, I'll teach you to be compassionate." As he said, Tang Song's hand had moved from Shangguan Wan'er's slender waist to her beautiful face. His ten fingers gently stroked his eyebrows like the spring breeze in March, crossed his cheeks, and finally stopped on the red lips that were as fragrant as the petals of April peony.

He murmured these two lines of music and lyrics in his mouth. Shangguan Wan'er's eyes, which had been frozen for 30 years, gradually melted like a warm water, and felt a hint of spring.

The two were in the Accord, and the complaints outside the Accord were getting louder and louder.

The reason for complaining is that there are too few books, but there are too many people who want them.

At this moment, the dispute between Tang Song and the Ba Laos, and even Cui Lu, Li and Zheng's four families has become the most concerned topic of Shilin. After the Myth Garden Poetry Conference, both sides published books on the same day, and the news has long been spread. In such a hot scene, who doesn't want to have a sneak peek at the poetry collections of their two families?

There are too many people who want to write, but the number of books is very limited. The eight elders brought seven or eight hundred poems to four books, and Tang Song's collection of poems has only three hundred. With so many monks and few porridges, there are very few people who can get one book, let alone two books.

The scholars were stimulated by the rare hustle and bustle of this scholar for several days. Although they had no books, they refused to leave and gathered here to talk about it. Because they could not see the works, the discussion was very false, and as they were talking, it naturally turned into complaints.

After paying attention for a while, he was full of complaints. Shangguan Wan'er took back her already little attention and reached out to hold Tang Song's hand that was very dishonest like a little mouse. "At the grand court meeting two days ago, the children of four families successively made suggestions to abolish Tongke, which was rejected by Your Majesty. However, the winning number of Tongke next year has been reduced to six people."

Tang Song raised his head from the snow, "Well, I heard it."

"In the past two days, Your Majesty issued a series of orders, promoted or rewarded nine people, all of whom were officials of the four surnames Cui Lu, Li and Zheng. The secretary-general Zheng Zhili was transferred to the Ministry of Works to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Works."

"He?" Tang Song pulled out his hand and pondered without saying a word.

After the Myth Garden Poetry Conference, Zheng Zhili was really notorious. Not only Shilin, but also the officials of the court also criticized him. It is impossible for Wu Zetian to know why she still had to make such arrangements?

Zheng Zhili suffered from personal morality, but the Ministry of Works is a place where money and food are like flowing water. This arrangement makes people unable to see through.

At this moment, a slight sound of peeling and knocking on the door came from the Accord.

Hearing the sound, Shangguan Wan'er escaped from Tang Song's arms and opened the door.

Ma Laosan stood outside the door and saw that it was Shangguan Wan'er who opened the door, but Tang Song couldn't sit still, and the strange expression in his eyes flashed away.

He didn't come in, but bowed at the door and said, "Attack, five of the eight elders arrived at the restaurant and just settled down in another accord."

Upon hearing this, Tang Song was silent. Shangguan Wan'er reached out and pointed to the right, and Ma Lao... nodded.

"I understand, go." Hearing this, Ma Laosan bowed behind and turned around and retreated.

Shangguan Wan'er closed the door and laughed in a low voice while returning to the seat, "Look at this time, the eight elders' lectures at the Imperial College today should have ended, and the purpose of their coming here should be like ours. I feel uneasy, and I want to come and listen to Shilin's comments."

Shangguan Wan'er had just said this, and the sound of knocking on the door started again. Ma Laosan, who had just left, came back again, saying that Princess Taiping was here and was now in the lobby outside.

Shangguan Wan'er's face darkened. She reached out to the screen and stretched out her fingers and fiddled with her. Two small windows as big as chessboards appeared on the screen. There were two large bonsai trees outside the window to be concealed.

With this arrangement, people outside will not get close to the screen, and it will be difficult to find these two small windows.

Ma Laosan approached and pointed out the window. Tang Song looked in the direction of his finger and saw that in the corner of the lobby where hundreds of people could accommodate sitting there, a woman in a scholarly and Confucian uniform lived alone in a seat. The people on the seats around her were considered guards.

Because the woman was sitting sideways, Tang Song couldn't see her face clearly, but he always felt that this person seemed quite familiar.

"I don't know how many times the princess has come, and I just discovered it." Ma Lao San explained in a low voice, "Attack, do you want to invite her in?"

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head, "Looking at her dressing like this, she clearly wants to watch the fun in a secluded manner. She just wants to have fun. If you really invite her in, or you may annoy her, but you don't know what to do."

Ma Laosan whispered, and after waiting for a while, he saw Shangguan Wan'er without any instructions, he retreated silently.

"Taiping has always been concerned about Shilin. Before you made a big fuss in the imperial examination, she recommended the most people in the past imperial examinations. She still has eyesight. Most of the recommended candidates are the first choice for Shilin. Because of this, among many royal relatives, she was the most praised by Shilin."

Tang Song was not surprised by this. It is recorded that when Princess Taiping was at its peak, five of the seven prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall of the Dynasty came from her, and other party members were spread throughout the court and the country. This material not only shows that Princess Taiping was powerful, but also shows her deep talent reserves. This cannot be achieved day and night, and it must have long-term training and accumulation of personal connections.

"Your Majesty is stumped by Taiping's intervention in the selection of talents so much?"

"Although Your Majesty is very favored by Taiping, he has an iron rule and will never allow her to get involved in the affairs of the court. Because of this, her actions are not jealous. Because of the fact that she is recommended by her, there is no conflict with Lu Prime Minister." At this point, Shangguan Wan'er sighed softly, "Although she is a woman, if you talk about the eyesight of knowing people, not to mention King Liang and King Wei are not as good as her, even the court officials in the hall can catch up with her."

Tang Song nodded, Shangguan Wan'er turned around and stared at him with her eyes and said, "Taiping has been pampering since childhood. Because of this, she is eccentric by nature and acts very boldly. In the world, she is no longer a scrupulous person except Your Majesty. Even such a person is a scheming person after marrying Xue Shao, which shows how deep she loves Xue Shao."

"Later, Xue Shao's brother Xue Yi participated in the rebellion case of the royal family Li Chong. Xue Shao was also punished by Your Majesty for being implicated for 100 years and starved to death in prison. After that, Your Majesty killed the wife of Ding King Wu Youji, and then married Taiping to Wu Youji. Although Taiping reluctantly accepted the order, she really rejected it in her heart. She is now at a time when her mind is extremely unstable and she can't be provoked. Tang Song, you must remember it."

"Why should I provoke her?" Tang Song smiled. Taiping is so famous that such a woman wants to meet out of curiosity, but when it comes to provoking her, she really respects Xie Bumin.

This is a woman born in the Year of the Scorpion, and she is still in a state of violent scorpion, which is extremely dangerous.

"Well, this matter is so serious, it's best to remember it." Shangguan Wan'er said, turned around and took the cloak and carved hat and started to wear it. "Your Majesty went to Taiping Mansion after the morning court. Now that Taiping has arrived here, Your Majesty must have returned to the palace, and I should go back."

Tang Song walked over and hugged Shangguan Wan'er into his arms, "Where are you coming and going?"

Shangguan Wan'er stopped moving and quietly leaned in Tang Song's arms for a while, but did not say what happened to her children's love. "I have let those six tribes reach Qingxin Village, and they can always protect your whole life."

Upon hearing this, Tang Song didn't say anything, but just hugged Shangguan Wan'er tighter.

"However, this is not the root cause. How powerful is the aristocratic family? Tang Song, you are a white man, how can you fight against them? I mean you should reconcile with the aristocratic family."

"Even if I want to reconcile, how can the aristocratic families be willing?"

Shangguan Wan'er pondered for a long time, pursed her lips and said in a deep voice: "The time is inconvenient recently, and I will arrange this after the Ba Lao returned home. Zheng Zhili, Lu Minglun and others are not afraid of it. Although Cui Yuanzong is my husband, he will always sell me some face and make sure that you will get out of here without any problem."

"If you agree to reconcile, Qingxin Village will definitely not exist." Looking at Shangguan Wan'er's face full of worries, Tang Song did not say this after all, "Even if I agree, Cui Yuanzong can agree, how can Your Majesty be compatible?"

"Your Majesty is different from others. In short, if you are willing to retreat, there is no problem." Shangguan Wan'er took two steps forward and turned around and held Tang Song's face with both hands, just like a sister facing a younger brother who always loves to cause trouble and suffers a lot, with her eyes full of love, "In life, why should she suffer like a traveler in the world suddenly be like a far away? With me, you must not lose your money and spend it. With your talent, why not wander around famous mountains, boat in the five lakes, and be a rich and romantic leisure mountain river man."

Tang Song's entire face was wrapped in Shangguan Wan'er's palm. Feeling her affection, a warmth suddenly surged in Tang Song's heart, "I'm leaving, what should you do? I'm in the capital. If it's so difficult to be alone with you for a moment, when will you meet again when you are out of sight?"

"You go first, one day I will be with you in the world."

Jianghu is a word that appeared in "Records of the Grand Historian", which means "grass and lakes". In the context of the ancients, it is a concept opposite to "the temple". The famous line "When you live in a high temple, you worry about the people, and when you live in a far river and lake, you worry about the king" can be said to be a proof.

"Jianghu?" Hearing Shangguan Wan'er say this, Tang Song couldn't help laughing, "Isn't the temple another Jianghu? Especially with your identity, it's not easy to think about it after you go in."

After saying that, Tang Song stopped talking, "It's not too late to talk about this matter in the future. You can leave first, don't be too late."

Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head and turned around, and resolutely left.

Since she had left, Tang Song didn't want to stay in the Accord alone. He simply looked for a low-brimmed hat from Ma Laosan and arranged the next most biased seat in the lobby of the restaurant.

As the eight elders finished their lectures today, a large number of Imperial College students poured into the largest restaurant nearby. Tang Song took advantage of the chaos and covered most of his face with a low-brimmed hat. When he walked all the way to the head of the seat, he felt that no one noticed him.

Tang Song didn't take off his hat after sitting down, and quietly watched the lively noise in the lobby.

With the arrival of the Imperial College students, the topic first turned to the topic of the Eight Old Masters’ lecture today - Mencius’s “Five Relationships” theory.

After talking about the Five Relations, the lobby immediately talked about Tang Song and Ba Lao’s publishing books.

The students of the Imperial College naturally praised the Eight Elders and belittled Tang Song. This book is nothing. As the Eight Elders entered Beijing, such rhetoric has not been new in recent days. However, as the young and energetic students of the Imperial College promoted the Eight Elders higher and higher, and stepped on Tang Song lower and lower, it caused ordinary scholars to interfere.

What these ordinary scholars said is actually not an exaggeration. They just say that although the Eight Old Masters are highly respected and have long been famous for their poetry, Tang Song would not be so unbearable. Otherwise, he would not be famous all over the world. Every poem can be spread to the capital and widely sang.

This is a fair argument, but because of the different backgrounds and status at this time, the students of the Imperial College were too superior, so they couldn't listen to words that were contrary to their opinions.

It is inevitable that the boy is so angry. The restaurant lobby is a casual place where anyone can speak. With every word you say and say, the two sides become more and more angry, and the noise of the dispute becomes louder and louder. In the end, it becomes a big debate. If you don’t let me, I won’t let you, the whole hall is full of noise.

At the most lively time of the quarrel, I suddenly heard a crisp "bang" sound in the corner of the lobby. A powerful man threw the wine cup in his hand and stood up. "What's the noise? What can you fight for? What's the result? It makes people feel uncomfortable when you drink."

Tang Song looked at it and saw that the man stood up from the head beside Princess Taiping. With the influx of students from the Imperial College just now, Taiping also wore a veiled carved hat, and it was difficult to see her face clearly at this time.

The quarrels among the scholars became less, and the man didn't sit down and said loudly to the lobby: "It's easy to decide the outcome of the battle. It's a good game. Do you dare to take a try?"

After the great man said this, someone immediately asked loudly: "How to fight?"

The man laughed and reached out and picked up two books from his seat. "These two books were from the Eight Old Man and the other from Tang Song. Later, someone went to find a few singers who could understand literature and ink, and found an Accord in the wine shop, and gave it to them for their own choice. Then, he summoned them to sing them in public. Whoever sang more poems will naturally win. In this way, wouldn't it be better than if you can't win the result?"

This is a method that Tang people often like to use when fighting poetry, and it is not new. But compared to the unfounded arguments of the crowd, this is the best way to think of now. In addition, the scholars in the hall have seen these two books, so they also want to hear what it is. As soon as the Han Dynasty finished speaking, many people immediately agreed.

The man was so happy that he got up and quickly took two seats with his companions. When one went out to summon the singer, the other began to arrange the scholars to give their lottery tickets.

Who would give in to the young man? In just a moment, the two pairs of seats together were filled with money. After all, the Imperial College students had a stronger family background. Therefore, from the perspective of the money they bet on, the eight elders were far better than Tang Song.

In later generations, Tang Song once saw the record of "Block Painted Wall" in historical books, which said that during the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong, the poets Wang Changling, Gao Shi and Wang Zhihuan were as famous as the same name, but it was difficult to distinguish between the superiority and inferiority. On a certain snowy day, the three of them met on the left side of the road, and then went to the flag pavilion beside the road to drink together.

There are rich merchants in the flag pavilion, and there are four musicians singing poems to entertain, and they sing famous songs nowadays. The three of them made a private agreement: "You and I have both famous poems, but it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad. Today, I will listen to these singers quietly. Whoever has the most poems will be the best."

A moment later, a musician first came out and sang: "The cold rain flows into Wu at night, and Pingming sees off the guests from Chushan. Relatives and friends in Luoyang ask each other, and a piece of ice heart is in the jade pot."

Hearing this song, Wang Changling smiled slightly, and then used his finger to draw a mark on the wall of the flag pavilion: "A quatrain, first take the lead." Then a song girl sang: "Open the box and tears, I see you. The day before yesterday. How lonely is the night platform? It's still a place in Ziyunju." Gao Shi stretched out his hand to draw the wall: "I have a quatrain."

Another song girl appeared: "The golden palace is opened with a broom and the golden palace is open, and she is forced to linger with the round fan. Her jade face is not as beautiful as the crow, but she still brings the shadow of the sun in Zhaoyang." Wang Changling smiled comfortably, and then stretched out his hand to draw the wall: "Two quatrains"

Among the three, Wang Zhihuan thought he had been famous for a long time, but the singers did not sing his poems. Seeing that King Gao and the other two were like this, it was really embarrassing. So he said to the two, "At this moment, all three were tragic musicians, and they were all lyrics from Ba Renxia. How could common people dare to approach?" He pointed to the best of all the people, and said, "When this son sang, if it were not my poem, I would not dare to compete with the two sons for the rest of my life. This is my poem. I should be placed under the bed and take me as my teacher."

A moment later, the most romantic among the four musicians took a step forward and a song was: "The Yellow River is far away from the white clouds, and there is an isolated city of thousands of feet high mountains. Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze does not cross the Yumen Pass"

Upon hearing this song, Wang Zhihuan laughed out loud, teasing Gao Shi and Wang Changling, saying, "I am not talking nonsense in the field slaves."

This is a well-sanged story in the history of poetry. Unexpectedly, today not only witnessed a Tang Dynasty version of the flag pavilion wall, but also became one of the protagonists. When Tang Song was looking at the excitement in front of him, a big man quietly came to him and whispered: "My master invited the young master to drink together, please."
