The next day.
Everyone in the County Marquis Mansion became busy.
Wang Jian still went to court in the dark and miserable. At this point, the dogs in Chang'an City were not awake yet.
When he has the ability, he must change the time of the court meeting to two hours later.
Not long after Wang Jian just set off, Xue Rengui and the other five also rode towards Youwuwei.
Originally, the five of them were going to live in Youwuwei's temporary camp, but the food there could not keep up. Although they could eat a little meat every day, it was not enough for them.
So Cheng Chumo specially applied to his father to let Xue Rengui and the five of them live at home.
Yaodan was much more relaxed. After dawn, Wang Tiansan drove a carriage and took him slowly to the Imperial College to go to school.
"Sister Hua, take people to the East Market to sell vegetables. Xiao Wu, you go and buy the festive items for the wedding banquet."
As the backyard supervisor of the County Marquis Mansion, Han Xuelian began to make arrangements People work.
Today is a happy day for Ma Zhou and Wang La. Under Wang Jian’s arrangement, people from the county and prince’s mansion are going to help.
Wang Jian and Xue Rengui were busy in the morning, so the important task of arranging Ma Zhou's mansion fell on her shoulders.
Tai Chi Hall.
There are two people missing from the meeting today, Wang Gui and Cui Yixuan.
According to Wang De's report to Li Shimin, the two old boys took leave due to illness.
Anyone with eyesight knows that they are pretending to be ill.
Without these two troublemakers, the court meeting was held very peacefully.
Before leaving the court, Li Shimin asked Doulu Kuan, the Minister of Rites.
"Dou Aiqing, how are the preparations for the poetry meeting held on March 15th now?"
In addition to inviting the famous poets from Chang'an, this poetry meeting was held in early spring. The talented scholar also extended invitations to academies in various states.
The scale of the event is unprecedented.
Moreover, the Ministry of Rites was directly responsible for this poetry meeting, which also shows the importance Li Shimin attached to it.
Doulu Kuan left the class holding the wat board.
"Your Majesty, the process of the poetry meeting and the theme of the competition have been set up."
"Talented scholars from various academies have arrived in Chang'an recently and stayed at the inn in Pingkangfang. ”
The poetry meeting is held in the garden, so the venue does not require too much decoration.
The slightly more difficult part is inviting people from all over the world to participate in the poetry meeting.
For those who live far away, a trip to Chang'an will take ten days and a half.
If you encounter bad weather, it is easy to delay your trip.
Doulu Kuan held up the Wat board and bowed deeply, and continued to report.
"Your Majesty, the chief selector of the Poetry Club has not yet been determined. I sincerely request your Majesty to make a selection."
The chief selector of the Poetry Club is the most important. Select a group of highly respected people.The value of a scholar's comment and a group of laymen's comments on a poetry meeting are completely different.
"Yes." Li Shimin nodded.
Then his eyes swept across the ministers and stayed the longest on a few old scholars.
In about twenty breaths, Li Shimin read out the candidates for selecting the chief officer.
"Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan, and Chu Liang should be the chief judges of this poetry meeting!"
These three are all outstanding among the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace.
Whether it is their family background or their reputation in scholarly circles, they are enough to serve as the chief judges of the poetry society.
"I will live up to His Majesty's trust, and the evaluation will not be biased."
Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan, and Chu Liang left the class to salute.
After all matters of the poetry meeting are finalized.
Li Shimin stood up and walked to the steps, looking at the ministers with high spirits.
His eyes were specifically focused on Wang Jian and stayed there for a while.
"My dear friends, please don't hide this poetry meeting, but call Qilin Zi at home."
"I will hold the poetry meeting on March 15th. A super grand prize has been set for the leader, and the prize content will be announced on the day of the poetry meeting."
Li Shimin gave up.
Anyone who has been with Li Shimin for a long time in the court knows that he rarely talks about big prizes.
"It seems that the reward from the leader is not small!"
All the ministers looked at each other eagerly.
Among them, the civil servants were the most excited.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
Their son has been studying since he was a child, and the teacher who teaches him is also a well-known Confucian scholar, so he has a good chance of winning the first place.
On the other hand, none of the generals were interested.
It would be great for their idiotic sons to be able to recite one or two poems.
Asking them to compose poetry is tantamount to playing the harp to an ox.
Cheng Yaojin walked out with a grimace on his face and spoke to Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, I have a small suggestion."
Li Shimin glanced at his favorite general and wondered what this fool was up to.
So he asked with a smile, "What do you suggest, Zhijie? But it doesn't matter."
Cheng Yaojin glanced at the civil servants opposite, then pointed at the generals behind him, Holding the wat board high.
"Your Majesty should organize a martial arts competition to let young people compete for a name."
I have to say that Cheng Yaojin seems to be confused, but he made this suggestion very good.
The interest of Li Shimin and a group of military generals was also aroused.
"Your Majesty, I agree with Zhijie's proposal.discussion. "Yu Chi Gong stood up and responded with excitement.
Wen's can't compare, and their sons have advantages over their boxing and kicking skills.
Especially Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baoqi, The younger generation in Chang'an City has no rivals.
At this time, Fang Xuanling also stood up.
"Your Majesty, I also agree to hold a martial arts competition. "
"The martial arts competition can not only demonstrate the majesty of our Tang Dynasty men, but also select talents for your Majesty's army. It can achieve multiple things with one stone. "
Fang Xuanling completely started from the Tang Dynasty and pointed out the benefits of the martial arts competition.
Of course, holding this martial arts competition was also good for him.
The second brother, Yiai, is also a martial artist with well-developed limbs.
"I agree, the civil and military complement each other! " Du Ruhui also spoke out in support.
His face is relatively pale, and his speech is weak.
He has been feeling unwell recently, and Li Shimin sent an imperial doctor to treat him, but he has not improved significantly.
The two ministers and their servants all spoke out in support, and a group of civil servants followed behind them.
"Okay, after the poetry meeting, we will organize a martial arts competition! "
Seeing the unanimous voice of the ministers, Li Shimin also decided on the matter.
After retreating from the court.
Li Shimin sent his eldest son Wuji to Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Fang Xuanling and Wang Jian asked him to go to Ganlu Hall.
As for Du Ruhui, because he was ill, Li Shimin couldn't bear the overwork of his beloved minister, so he asked him to go home to rest. < /p>
Inside the Ganlu Hall
“Zhijie’s proposal in today’s court meeting is very good, and I am impressed by it. "Li Shimin smiled and praised Cheng Yaojin.
Who would have thought that this fool could do what a civil servant did.
"Hey, I am also thinking hard day and night, thinking about serving your majesty. Recruit more talent. "Cheng Yaojin said with a straight face.
He never thought about these things on weekdays.
Either he tried to kill the cows and eat the beef, or he dealt with the three Cheng Chumo brothers.
This idea was brought up in the court meeting because Li Shimin said that winning the poetry competition would bring a big prize.
He felt as if he had eaten a fly when he thought that this benefit would not be available to his old Cheng family.
Then an idea flashed in his head, and he thought of this martial arts competition.
"Come on, Cheng, don't brag here. "Yu Chigong exposed him unceremoniously.
"You are also a blind cat who met a dead mouse before you thought of the martial arts competition. "Yu Chi Gong picked his nostrils with a look of disdain.
Seeing that Yu Chi Gong refused to give face, Cheng Yaojin also jumped up excitedly. He pointed at Yu Chi Gong and was about to spray.
"Okay, don't mess around. "Li Shimin quickly stopped these two fools.
"Hmph! ”
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong, two living treasures, glared at each other, and then snorted arrogantly.
Old man.
After they sat down, they immediately cursed each other in their hearts.
Li Shimin shook his head speechlessly, and then turned his attention to Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Wang Jian.
"I called you here today to finalize the rules for the martial arts competition."
