By the time it was time for the exam, which was like a royal banquet, it was already thirty years after drinking. During the dinner, there were people who thought they were literary talents, and they were eloquent in poems and songs.
Li Zhi has no interest in this at all, and his identity is not such that he needs to rely on a few poems to gain fame or others' attention.
King Jin didn¡¯t need it, but the name of King Jin who didn¡¯t need it was still called. Li Zhi looked at his mother and stood up helplessly.
Look, I just want to drink with my brothers and sisters, but my mother insists on showing off. I knew I would come to the Tang Dynasty to write poems, but now I don¡¯t want to do it, but my mother can¡¯t pass it.
"Zhi'er, tonight at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, all the talents from Chang'an will gather together, and the emperor will also write a poem, how about it?"
Look, listen, let yourself write poetry! The mother's words had already been spoken, how could Li Zhi refuse.
You can¡¯t say you don¡¯t know how to do it!
"Mother proposes a question!"
Li Zhi was helpless. His mother's words had already been spoken, and he could not dampen his mother's happiness. The queen mother let herself get up, so that she could shine here.
Parents, even at the level of the royal family, hope that their children will appear outstanding in front of others, stand out and be different.
At this time, in the Tang Dynasty, poetry was the most valued talent. There was also a special examination of poetry and prose in the imperial examination, and it was taken very seriously.
Even if you pass the imperial examination, according to the custom, you still have to compose a "poem for passing the exam".
Therefore, the queen mother asked Li Zhi to compose poems because she wanted her son to shine. Li Zhi would naturally follow the queen's wishes, as long as the queen was happy.
Li Zhi looked at Empress Changsun. Empress Changsun thought for a while and looked at the courtiers below the stage who were waiting for the Empress to present her question.
¡°It¡¯s about the Queen Mother, but it must include tonight¡¯s moon.¡±
Li Shimin was right next to his queen. After listening to his queen's words, he felt that the queen was a little difficult to deal with.
??????????????????????????¡
"The queen not only made a proposition, but also the title of the destiny was herself. That's all. She also had to have a moon in the poem, which corresponded to the Mid-Autumn Festival tonight.
Li Shimin believed that he couldn't do it for a while. In fact, as soon as the Queen's words came out, everyone shook their heads.
The question about the queen is really difficult. It is a double proposition. There must be a queen in the poem, and there must also be a moon in the sky. A poem usually only has more than 20 words in five characters or seven rhymes, which is really difficult to write. .
A large group of talented people with poetic names in Chang'an could only shake their heads and sigh. His Highness's previous poem was famous in Chang'an, and almost some people with poetic talents copied it and read it carefully.
"However, after that poem, His Highness never wrote another poem. At this time, the question of the empress is whether the King of Jin can complete it." This question is really too difficult. Is the empress too optimistic about His Highness?
However, Queen Changsun stood up slowly and looked at her son.
"Zhi'er, do you still remember Cao Zijian?"
"The queen also wants to treat her son into a poem in seven steps?"
"Can it be done?"
"Try to treat the child!"
Li Zhi walked out of his seat and faced his mother and father. Everyone here knew that Cao Zijian composed a poem in seven steps, but the Queen asked the King of Jin to also compose a poem in seven steps. Was it too difficult for His Highness?
This is not only a seven-step poem, but also a proposition poem. There must be a double proposition poem with the moon and the empress in the poem.
" Cao Zijian composed a poem in seven steps, which has become famous throughout the ages. Your Highness really wants to try it.
Several talented people are already shaking their heads like rattles. This is so difficult that they can no longer imagine it.
In his heart, Li Zhi just sighed, it was really his mother who loved to see her son in the limelight so much, and she did it in front of the civil and military officials of the dynasty, the dignitaries of Chang'an, and a large number of romantic literati invited by his father.
"But Li Zhi really doesn't know much about writing poems. Li Zhi is definitely top-notch when it comes to memorizing poems.
At this time, facing his father, the emperor and his mother, Li Zhi had already taken a step. With the step taken by His Highness, everyone seemed to have a roar in their minds.
Can your Highness do it? Everyone present here has begun to look forward to it, and has begun to silently remember King Jin's steps.
Li Shimin looked at his son. After returning from Luoyang, this third son really allowed Li Shimin to see his growth and his efforts. At this time, he really hoped that his son could do it.
His poem for Miss Wang had already amazed Li Shimin. At this time, Li Shimin wanted to see if his son could surprise him again.
King Jin has taken the second step. At this time, the whole night banquet hall has already heard the news. No one dares to make a big statement at this time. Everyone looks at it.Looking at King Jin, all the princes and princesses there were staring closely at their elder brother or younger brother.
Princess Changle held Princess Yuzhang's hand, and Princess Yuzhang already felt that her sister's hand was a little tighter.
The little princess looked at her brother, and Si Zi beside her was holding her hand and patting it gently.
The little princess wanted to speak, but then she saw her royal sister and made a silent movement.
In the third step, some people have already shown their disappointed eyes. Although the poem His Highness Prince Jin wrote for the future Princess Jin was famous in Chang'an, after all, it was only one poem, and it was composed in response to the situation.
Tonight, His Highness will most likely be unable to compose it. No one doubts King Jin¡¯s poetic talent, but this level of difficulty is simply too difficult. It is a seven-step poem, and it is a seven-step double proposition poem.
" Cao Zijian did it back then, but after so many years, only Cao Zijian has ever done it. And this man was the head of the seven sons of Jian'an and the most talented person in the world.
In the fourth step, Princess Changle who was sitting there could no longer sit still. She stood up slowly and was forcefully pulled by Princess Yuzhang before she sat down.
Li Shimin already had a slight disappointment on his face. He was not disappointed with his son, but just a little disappointed with this matter.
He actually really wanted to see if Zhi'er could really write a poem in seven steps. Li Zhi was also his son, and he was the legitimate son. Zhi'er could really write a poem in seven steps here in front of the civil and military officials of the dynasty, the powerful and distinguished people, and the celebrities in Chang'an. As the father of the emperor Li Shimin's face is naturally bright.
As an emperor, he also has a good reputation.
On the fifth step, the speed and frequency of King Jin¡¯s steps have remained unchanged. Several people in the crowd were already shaking their heads. It was already the fifth step, and King Jin still hadn¡¯t said a word.
It is too difficult to write a poem in seven steps, and it must be adapted to the situation. There must be a queen in the poem, and there must be a moon rising in mid-autumn.
On the sixth step, most people in the venue couldn't bear to watch King Jin fall in seven steps, but they still seemed clueless. Li Shimin patted his queen's hand gently and looked at her with a wry smile.
"You are too difficult to treat."
Queen Changsun smiled softly and looked at her son.
"Zhi'er will not disappoint His Majesty and me."
What else could Li Shimin say? It was already the sixth step, and Zhi'er still couldn't say a word.
"The seven-step poem is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Why has Cao Zijian been famous throughout the ages? This seven-step poem can add a lot of points to him." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
