Chapter 676: The Poetry of the People's Suffering

It is not the first time that many scholars have been appreciated by the emperor and thus promoted by the imperial court.

In the past, the "performance" was still the performance of the dancers and jugglers of the Rite Division, but at this time, it was the performance of the Jinshi and the Hanlin.

All the Hanlin and Jinshi had to come to the front and write an essay or poem on the table prepared for them, as if they were undergoing an on-the-spot examination.

In the past, Tang Xie and Han Yu told Ji Ning about this banquet competition, according to Tang Xie and Han Yu's ideas, to compete with the Hanlin Academy, the probability of winning an article is very low, but all the articles that are decent, Hanlin must write better than Jinshi, the main reason is that Hanlin is also a Jinshi, and either the top three in the previous Dingjia, or passed the Hanlin Academy Shuji Shi exam before entering the Hanlin Academy, and then concentrated on writing articles in the Hanlin Academy, doing things related to the book, writing articles must be outstanding, To do so is to be bored.

The only chance of winning is to win with poetry.

It is very difficult to ask Hanlin to write a poem on the spot, and to win the appreciation of the people present, although it is even more difficult for Jinshi, but as long as the question can be accurate, there is still a chance.

Therefore, before the banquet, there were actually a lot of rumors, and many people were speculating about what the emperor would do at the banquet this time, and some people were even betting on the topic.

This involves whether the emperor can be appreciated, and the opportunity to be promoted exceptionally, no one wants to give the opportunity to others, but no one thought that the emperor would make such a tricky topic, and no one would prepare articles and poems about the suffering of the people.

Ji Ning is the champion, and his desk is the second row after Zhong Hanlin in front.

When he picked up the pen, the first thing he thought about was not what he wrote this time, but about the rebellion of King Hui and Uncle Li and others.

At this time, the reason why King Hui, Uncle Li and others have not made a move must be because the emperor is not poisonous at this time, they are still waiting, thinking of this, Ji Ning looked up in the direction of Zhao Yuanrong, this Zhao Yuanrong did not react, seemed to be looking down and thinking about something.

This will Ji Ning focus on the article he is about to write.

Ji Ning can write a lot of articles about the suffering of the people, but he doesn't want to write articles at such a time, just like Tang Xie and Han Yu and others said, if you want to be brilliant, only writing poetry is the last word.

Let him write poems on the spot, he also feels very difficult, there can be a lot of ready-made, such as "plant a grain of millet in spring, harvest 10,000 seeds in autumn, there is no idle field in the four seas, and the farmer will starve to death" and so on, but if this kind of poem is written in a place like a banquet, Ji Ning feels that he doesn't know each other very well, in fact, the national fortune of the Dayong Dynasty is still good, and the people can at least ensure a basic life, and it is not enough to starve to death when the year is bad, but eating bran and swallowing vegetables is inevitable, and life is not good.

Ji Ning felt that he was already very sensitive, but the scholars present seemed to be even more sensitive than his mind, and they had already begun to write articles.

Ji Ning shook his head, picked up the pen, and prepared to write a poem on the paper that he thought.

Since we cannot expose a major phenomenon in feudal society, let's start with the "small phenomenon".

……

……

While the Jinshi were writing poems, Zhao Kangzheng got up and left the table.

Although the emperor's departure from the table was temporary, and it could be seen as going to the toilet and so on, there were still people who were uneasy, such as King Hui and Uncle Li, who wanted to know why the emperor had used the pill and drank the wine again, but he had not been poisoned to death until now.

Zhao Kangzheng took Gonggong Long and a few guards around the open space fenced with cloth in front, and arrived outside the temporary tent not far behind the clearing, at this time, the princess of Che Shiguo also left the table one step earlier and waited here.

Because the seat of the princess of Che Shiguo is relatively late, she took advantage of the previous Lile Division to perform, and everyone left the table when they were paying attention to the performance, and no one noticed.

This will Zhao Kangzheng come out, just for the sake of "meeting the beauty".

"Attend Your Majesty!" When the princess of Che Shiguo saw Zhao Kangzheng coming, she hurriedly saluted and greeted.

Zhao Kangzheng waved his hand, Long Cheng stood still in place, and Zhao Kangzheng stepped forward quickly with a little urgency, and did not have any nonsense with the princess of Cheshiguo, opened his arms, and directly held the princess of Cheshiguo in his arms, looking very anxious.

"Haha, beauty, let me take a good look at you!"

Zhao Kangzheng lost his imperial demeanor in front of Princess Cheshiguo, and at this time he was like an old man who went to a brothel in Qinglou to find a girl, and when he saw the girl, he wanted to pounce up.

"Your Majesty......" Princess Che Shiguo was also a little stunned when she saw this situation, although she also expected that Zhao Kangzheng was looking for someone to ask her to leave the table, in order to have something with her, but she also couldn't expect that the emperor would take advantage of the time between the banquets and come over and be rude to her directly.

Zhao Kangzheng smiled and asked, "Beauty, don't you like me?" ”

"Concubine...... Like. When Princess Che Shiguo saw Zhao Kangzheng, she lowered her head and looked very shy.

"That's it, I left the table during the banquet, and I had to go back in a short time, and now I don't have time to go to my place, so I'll find a random place...... Ha ha. Zhao Kangzheng didn't care about finding a suitable and decent place at this time, he was a little ridiculous, and even wanted to have the princess of Cheshiguo outside.

Princess Che Shiguo didn't expect that what she encountered was such a situation, and the instructions that someone had given her before seemed to be useless, so she could only deal with the things in front of her first.

At this time, Zhao Kangzheng had a lot of strength, and picked her up horizontally, Zhao Kangzheng went directly into the nearest tent, and he didn't know who this tent was prepared for, and he couldn't even see anything clearly in the black lights around him.

When he got inside, Zhao Kangzheng directly reached out to tear the clothes of the princess of Cheshiguo, and said on his lips: "Beauty, there is not much time now, just let me be happy, you will come to serve me well in the evening, you know?" ”

“…… Be! Princess Cheshiguo thought for a long time before answering.

Then Zhao Kangzheng was no longer polite, and directly took possession of the woman he had taken a fancy to during the banquet.

……

……

Zhong Hanlin and Jinshi, after almost a stick of incense, wrote their poems and articles.

But when they finished their article, it became clear that the emperor was not there.

This will be the time for the emperor to leave, and it will be just the time for a stick of incense.

Where the emperor went, no one knew, there was a lot of discussion.

Ji Ning squinted, he was the only one present who could understand, because he had observed the departure of Princess Che Shiguo before, and he could guess what the emperor was doing.
