Chivalrous Song Dynasty

Cai Yu was a Jinshi in the last civil examination. He went to Xuanhe Hall as a servant system. He is a fifth-rank official. He is still single.Although he is one year older than Zhao Ji, it is in line with Zhao Ji's concept of choosing a son-in-law.

When Zhao Ji was in Fanlou, he had already mentioned to Bai Sheng his criteria for choosing a son-in-law, either you were a Jinshi in high school, or you were recognized as the number one in the Song Dynasty in the talents of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and poetry, otherwise don’t even think about it .

Cai Wei is a Jinshi, with a good appearance and a refined temperament.The so-called poetic and bookish spirit is talking about players like Cai Wei.Therefore, Cai Wei met Zhao Ji's requirements.

Even if it is left to later generations, Cai Wei is still the fifth diamond king for women.Because they have academic qualifications, diplomas, cars, houses, deposits, and a legitimate job!

What is being older?When you are old, you know how to love others, don't you?

However, just when Zhao Ji wanted to agree to the marriage, competitors appeared, and there were more than one of them.

The first one was Zhou Bangyan, who proposed marriage for his son Zhou Qin and asked to marry Emperor Maode.

Zhou Bangyan was promoted by the Dasheng Mansion, and his official rank was similar to that of Bai Sheng's Imperial Medical Bureau, but the degree of importance was different.The promotion of Dasheng Mansion is basically equivalent to the dean of the Central Conservatory of Music in later generations.

Although Zhou Qin was not a Jinshi or an official, she was young, suave and romantic, and known for her poetry and prose talent in the capital.Zhou Bangyan claimed that his son could win the first place in the poetry meeting on Yuanxi Festival on February [-], and thus compete with others for Zhao Fujin.

Zhao Ji didn't comment on Zhou Bangyan's marriage proposal, and only said that he would wait until the poetry meeting won the first place.

The second is Sun Fu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War. Sun Fu proposed marriage for Chen Dong.

Chen Dong is now just a student cadre in the Taixue, who is similar to the student council president of later generations. His education is a tribute student, and he has one less qualification for being listed in the imperial examination than Jinshi.

Zhao Ji immediately vetoed it, this Chen Dong is not good, the hardware standard is not up to standard.

Sun Fu said that there is a car in the front and a track in the back. Since Zhou Qin can compete for the first place in the poetry competition, why can't Chen Dong?

Zhao Jixin said that anyone can get the first place in the poetry competition?Zhou Qin has always had a reputation, but this Chen Dong only has a reputation of not being flexible and getting along with others. How can he be compared?

But he didn't want to embarrass Sun Fu, so he said that you should let Chen Dong go to the poetry meeting.

In addition to these two competitors, there are two other competitors who proposed themselves and proposed marriage for themselves.These two are the youngest Jinshi in the dynasty, one is Qin Hui and the other is Zhang Bangchang.

Qin Hui has an official position and is listed in the censor. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with his appearance. There is no need to compare with those two Zhou Qin and Chen Dong who have no education. He also meets the emperor's criteria for choosing a son-in-law.And compared with Cai Wei, he is ten years younger.

Zhang Bangchang was nine years older than Qin Hui and five or six years younger than Cai Kui. He was a senior official of the third rank from the official to the servant, and was older than both Cai Tu and Qin Hui. He was the backbone of Wang Hui's lineage.

Zhao Ji was not optimistic about Zhang Bangchang, because he had just encountered an assassination at Wang Fu's house, but this kind of thing is not easy to announce.

What he prefers is Qin Hui, because Qin Hui is very good at dealing with things.But even if he liked Qin Hui, he couldn't agree on the spot, because that would be slapping Cai Jing in the face.

He didn't expect that there would be marriage proposals from five families at the same time. Although the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married, the market of Maode Diji is too bullish, isn't it?

So he asked: "Are there any lovers who want to propose marriage? Let's bring them up together."

Bai Sheng, being promoted by the Imperial Medical Bureau, of course had to participate in the early court, what Zhao Ji asked was exactly what he wanted to ask, and he also wanted to know who else wanted to rob his wife.

Although he wore a mask and mutilated his limbs, Zhao Fujin was unswerving in his determination and touched him so much.

No matter who proposes marriage, Zhao Fujin is my Bai Sheng!

Chapter 370

What I have to say is that women in ancient times were very particular. After a kiss in Kunning Palace, Zhao Fujin and Bai Sheng have made a private decision for life.

In ancient times, women's private life is not a joke. It is called Bai Sheng's person in life, and Bai Sheng's ghost in death. Even if Bai Sheng dies, she will not marry others, let alone Bai Sheng is only disabled. Add disfigurement?

Such an infatuated woman has top-notch looks. If Bai Sheng can remain indifferent, he can no longer be described as "not a man", but can only be said to be not a human being.

So when Zhao Ji asked the officials and saw that no one answered and was about to announce the rules of the competition, Bai Sheng said: "Officials, the humble ministers also want to marry Maode Emperor Ji!"

Bai Sheng's words were like dropping a bomb among civil and military officials, and immediately the court was full of voices.

Given Bai Sheng's high status in the eyes of the emperor, of course no one would directly sarcastically or even insult him, but people's surprised voices represented this meaning.

What has become of you, Bai Sheng?Dare to ask to marry Empress Maode?This is too overwhelming!

Zhao Ji also thinks that Bai Sheng is going too far, you are still like this and you want to blame my daughter, do you want her to be a widow?

In Zhao Ji's view, Bai Sheng is a person equivalent to death.Even if he could come back alive after going to Xixia, he would not be considered a living person.

The reason why he favors and indulges Bai Sheng so much is for the sake of regaining his glory. Once it turns out that he cannot restore the functions of a man, Bai Sheng will be the first to be killed.

Even if Bai Sheng can cure his illness in the end, he is just a disfigured and disabled person. How can he marry his daughter to him?

However, under the current situation, there is no need to directly reject Bai Sheng's request. If one sheep is herded, so is a flock of sheep, so it's better to put on an attitude of treating everyone equally.

"All of you go to the Yuanxi Poetry Fair. If you don't have a Jinshi background, if you can win the No. 1 in the poetry festival, I will give him a Jinshi background, and then you will have a second round of competition with Cai Wei, Zhang Bangchang and Qin Hui. .”

The meaning of these words is very clear. Bai Sheng, Chen Dong, and Zhou Qin need to participate in the first round of elimination. If none of these three can get the first place in the poetry competition, they will not have the conditions to compete with the other three.

Of course, the Yuanxi Poetry Meeting is not a poetry meeting of three people, but a poetry meeting of all literati in the capital and even the world. Zhao Ji does not believe that Bai Sheng and Chen Dong have the ability to stand out in this poetry meeting.

In terms of academic qualifications, Bai Sheng is just a scholar, and he hasn't passed the exam; while Chen Dong is just a tribute student, how much ink can these two people have in their stomachs?

He believed that Bai and Chen couldn't even enter the top [-] of the poetry festival, so why reject them on the spot?

As for Zhou Qin, Zhou Bangyan might be the one to catch him, but he needs to think about it carefully and think of a fair competition rule to prevent his father and son from cheating.

Zhao Ji's arrangement won the understanding and support of the officials, who all shouted long live and praised the sageness of the officials.

This approach is indeed reasonable.Only one of Bai, Chen and Zhou could compete with Cai, Zhang and Qin, or none of them.

The officials could also think of the details that Zhao Ji could think of. As long as Zhou Bangyan didn't help his son prepare poems in advance, then Zhou Qin would definitely not be able to win the first place. No matter how famous Zhou Qin was, could he catch up with Li Qingzhao?

Li Qingzhao is bound to attend the poetry meeting!

Seeing that there were no more objections from the crowd, Zhao Ji announced his withdrawal from the court, leaving only Cai Jing to come down and let Lao Cai, the national leader in charge of education, personally draft the topic.

Because Cai Wei didn't need to rely on poetry clubs to compete for qualifications, there was basically nothing to criticize for the emperor's arrangement of Cai Jing to write questions.

Of course, if you must find out the disadvantages of Cai Jing's question, you can't find it.Although Cai Wei does not need to rely on the ranking of the poetry competition to obtain qualifications, he can know the topic in advance, work hard to prepare in advance, and then overwhelm other competitors in the poetry competition.

If Cai Wei won the first place in the poetry competition, wouldn't it also mean that Bai Sheng, Zhou Qin and Chen Dong were eliminated?

In fact, this possibility does not exist.

Because both Li Qingzhao and Zhou Bangyan can ignore the cheating of Cai Jing and his son.Because in terms of poetry skills and creative inspiration alone, both Zhou Bangyan and Li Qingzhao can beat Cai Jing and his son by a few blocks, even if his father and son have written poems in advance and memorized them in their hearts, it is useless!

There are also people who are very thoughtful and have considered a very subtle possibility, that is, Bai Sheng knew the title in advance, and then asked Li Qingzhao to catch the knife and make a poem in advance. If this is possible, then Bai Sheng has the hope of winning this poem Will be the first.

But this may not be true, because if Cai Jing leaked the title to Bai Sheng in advance, it would be tantamount to bullying his son Cai Wei.If this is the case, why does Cai Jing propose marriage for Cai Wei?Wouldn't it be enough to propose marriage directly for Bai Sheng?

On the night of the second day of February, the whole city of Bianjing is full of brilliance, put on new festive clothes, and the Lantern Festival officially begins.

After the dinner, under the protection of many imperial guards and guards, accompanied by Tong Guan and Lin Lingsu, Zhao Ji led all the concubines and ministers around the city in a chariot chariot. To the top of Aoshan.

The top of Mount Ao is the highest place in the city, and it is the best place to have fun with the people and enjoy the night view. Pavilions, terraces and pavilions have been built many years ago. For the emperor's visit tonight, they have been carefully arranged in the past few days.
