That night, it was not until dawn that Zhao Tong sent his sister and brother back to the palace.

As expected, there was no banquet in the palace. According to past practice, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was held until dawn.

But at this moment, the palace was completely lifeless, with no festive atmosphere at all.

Emperor Daojun only demoted Zhao Ji to a commoner and did not drive him out of the palace, so Zhao Ji could still live in the palace for the time being.

In later generations, even though Jingkang was approaching, Emperor Daojun still did not restore Zhao Huan's title, and Zhao Huan did not do this after he ascended the rank.

When the Jin soldiers attacked Tokyo and drove the clan northward, Zhao Chu was also trapped.

Later, he moved several times and finally settled in Five Kingdoms City. According to various historical data, it is speculated that Zhao Yan lived an extremely long time and was the longest-lived among the princes of the Northern Expedition. Even the emperor of the Jin Kingdom survived several terms.

Two or three days later, the news about Zhao Tong's participation in the Taixue Poetry Meeting gradually spread. Instead of writing poems and lyrics at the poetry meeting, he composed two songs, which immediately set off a storm in the Tokyo literary world.
p>

Those two songs spread at an extremely fast speed. In less than half a month, they were played and sung in almost all the brothels in Tokyo.

The literati and poets who went to play wanted to hear the music composed by the King of Qin, but they were rewarded with a large sum of gold and silver. The shop made a lot of money, and for a while there was even a rumor that Tokyo music was expensive.

In the literary world, the dispute between lyrics and music was directly brought to the table, with each other criticizing each other. All kinds of verbal and written criticisms were staged every day. Many literary students who originally only focused on lyrics began to compose music.

As the number of composers increased, new songs sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain. People often heard singing them on the streets and in the marketplace, and the songs began to glow with vitality.

At this moment, in an exquisite courtyard not far from Fan Tower, the table under the sycamore tree was filled with fruits. A girl with a beautiful face and a delicate figure was gently holding her cheeks with her bright and creamy wrists.

The whisper lingered: "Nongyu, do you think the prince has forgotten me?"

The little maid next to her said hurriedly: "How could the prince forget my wife? The prince was so sincere that day, and even punished those high officials for the sake of my wife."

The girl was none other than Zhao Yuannu. She sighed softly when she heard the words and looked into the distance with her bright eyes: "In the past few days, I have always thought that if he was not...not a prince, I would rather he be a poor scholar, and then

I redeemed my body and went to fly far away with him, staying and living together, feeling free and at ease."

Nong Yu looked at his wife's madness and couldn't bear it. She comforted her and said: "Madam, as the prince is an official in the court, he must be very busy with official affairs. There was a celebration party a few days ago. I heard that he was banned from the house. It seems that the ban has just been lifted not long ago.

I guess I will come to visit my wife in a few days."

Zhao Yuannu's eyes were slightly blurred and he said: "I heard Mei Niang say that he went to the Taixue Poetry Society and composed two pieces of music. It is now popular in the shops in the city and no one can play or sing it."

Nongyu bit her lip and said: "Madam, since the prince has started to compose the music, madam, why not practice it, so that the prince will be in a hurry when he comes and wants to listen."

Zhao Yuannu nodded immediately: "It is indeed time to practice, otherwise the piano, flute and other instruments will become unfamiliar. By the way, Nongyu, I'm afraid two pieces of music are not enough. Mei Niang said that there are many people composing music outside and outside, please go and ask for a few pieces.

, I will practice together."

Nongyu said: "Madam, wait a moment, I will go now."

Zhao Yuannu watched Nongyu go out and leave, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a touch of melancholy appeared on his jade cheeks...

On this day, Zhao Tong was watching the new songs released outside, and Li Qingzhao and others criticized his lyrics. He couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart. He advocated music without lyrics. Now the literary world regards him as the leader of the music industry, and some lyricists have united.

They suppressed him and made the noise extremely lively.

After watching for a while, he called Lei San over and told him to go to Zhouqiao to find Qi Hongyu to cross the house.

After a while, Qi Hongyu arrived, and along with Lei San, Zhou Chu and others, Zhao Tong said: "I have something to do recently, I'll leave it to you guys."

Qi Hongyu asked curiously: "What do you want to do, Master? Hongyu must go all out."

Zhao Tong said: "It's not a big deal. I just want to open a theater where I will only sing operas and talk about music, and do nothing else."

Several people were stunned when they heard this. Wasn't it Goulan who sang the opera and told the music?

Lei San said cautiously: "Does the prince want to open a Goulan Courtyard?"

Zhao Tie glanced at him: "It's too complicated to run Goulan. This is a theater. It's enough to sing operas and talk about operas on weekdays."

Qi Hongyu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Your Majesty, this is simple. I don't know how large it should be. Is there a choice of location?"

Zhao Tong thought for a while and said: "There are still four platforms. There are some miscellaneous shops outside. As for the location, it doesn't have to be too prosperous. It just doesn't go out of the inner city."

Qi Hongyu said: "You can find this slave family. I happened to have seen two places before, so it is very suitable."

Zhao Tong said: "Red Fish, you make the decision. Let the people in the government cooperate with other matters. As for the troupe, we need to raise a big one. It doesn't need to be famous. It just needs to know music and know the rhythm and can sing. We need to recruit people with innocent backgrounds among the people."

After planting, several families were mixed together and moved into the theater."

Qi Hongyu said: "I understand."

Zhao Tong looked at Lei Sanzhou again: "You and others will follow you for maintenance. You don't have to report everything. Just watch and deal with it."

Lei San said: "My subordinates know that if there are any troublemakers, they will be beaten away with sticks and sticks."

Zhao Tong shook his head: "We are doing business now. Don't always think about fighting and killing. Even if you are fighting and killing, you should treat it as a business..."

Lei San was puzzled and looked at Zhou Chu. Zhou Chu ignored him with a look of disgust and said to Zhao Tong: "Your Majesty, I know how to do this. I am good at this kind of thing."

Zhao Tong said: "It's good to know. When doing business, you have to behave like a business. Business is not about politics, business is about money!"

The three of them saluted and said yes. At this time, the housekeeper outside came to report that there was a decree from the palace.

He sent the three people away and went to the front hall to receive the order, only to find it was Zhang Di.

The decree was an oral instruction, asking him to go to the palace for a banquet in the evening. Zhao Tong was puzzled, and asked Zhang Di after the decree was completed.

Zhang Di whispered: "Your Majesty, be careful tonight. Zhou Bangyan, the prefect of Shunchang, is back and is in the palace."

Zhou Bangyan is back? Zhao Tong frowned, this current poet, Lao Du in the poem, if he doesn't serve as an official in Huaidong, why did he go back to the capital?

To be honest, Zhao Tong doesn't like Zhou Bangyan's poetry. Although Zhou Bangyan has always been respected as a master of elegance and elegance, later poetry critics called him the top poet, and he is recognized as the poet who "bears the reputation of a generation of poetry".

, it has a great influence both in contemporary times and in the Song Dynasty.

But Zhao Tong just didn't like it. He was not included in the public opinion, and even if Zhou Ci was not good or bad, he just couldn't arouse the slightest interest in Zhou Ci.

Of course, literati look down on each other, and everyone has their own interests. Even if Zhao Tong doesn't like it, it can't change Zhou Bangyan's status in the world of poetry. Zhou Nai is a contemporary poet, and no one can influence him. At least at this time, Li Qingzhao can't compare with him.

of.

But Zhao Tong just felt that Li Qingzhao’s lyrics were better than Zhou Bangyan’s.

Even though this eldest sister is addicted to drinking and gambling, and her temperament is overconfident and a bit stubborn, her lyrics are really good.

In Zhao Tong's eyes, Li Qingzhao's graceful poetry was the last of the Song Dynasty. He believed that the graceful poetry of the Song Dynasty ended with Li Qingzhao, and no one came after him.

Zhao Tong thought for a moment, looked at Zhang Di and said: "Zhou Meicheng is so old. If you don't retire in a warm place in Huaidong, what will you do when you come back?"

Zhang Di heard that Zhao Tan's tone was not polite, so he flattered him: "What the prince said was that the officials took pity on him because of his old age and difficulty in serving, so they transferred him from Hebei to Huaidong. But some time ago, for some unknown reason, suddenly

Shangshu is going to Beijing."

"Did he take the initiative?" Zhao Tao touched his chin and thought, couldn't it be because of the dispute over lyrics and music?

"My lord, it was he who took the initiative." Zhang Di lowered his voice and said, "It was so reckless at first, but I didn't expect the officials to agree happily. As soon as Zhou Bangyan returned to Beijing, he was immediately summoned into the palace by the officials.

in."

Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes. The two old men originally had a quarrel with each other, but in order to deal with his family, they actually joined forces?

Emperor Daojun definitely wanted to suppress him. Perhaps Zhengchou had no choice but to return to Beijing to deal with Zhou Bangyan because of the dispute over lyrics and music. Even though the two had a grudge before, they hit it off immediately!
p>

Zhao Tong said: "Besides Zhou Bangyan, who else is there at the palace banquet tonight?"

Zhang Di thought for a while: "There seem to be Wang Fu, Cai You, and Bai Shizhong in the court. Except for Zhou Bangyan, those outside the court seem to be some literati and poets from the capital. By the way, there are also several disciples of Zhou Bangyan.

."

Zhao Tong nodded, and there was no doubt that Hongmen Banquet seemed to want to use the dispute over lyrics and music to suppress him.

However, no matter how good Zhou Bangyan's lyrics are, no matter how many poets from Beijing are present, can you still suppress yourself?

Although you, Zhou Bangyan, were famous in your day and will be famous in later generations, no matter what, I'm afraid you won't be among the top five poets since ancient times, right?

I have four composers here who are waiting for you. If you don't want to accept it, just compete.

As for other poets in the capital, at this moment, except for Li Qingzhao, there are really not many who are good at it. Even if there are more people, can you still surpass the century-old composers I remember?

Zhao Tong disagreed. Although this kind of thing was a dispute between scholars, it immediately changed the taste when Daojun and Emperor got involved. But since they all united to deal with him, he would overthrow them all.

Cutting through the mess with a sharp knife and lightning fast, tonight directly set the tone for the Shilin literary world that music can compete with lyrics for supremacy.

After Zhang Di left, Zhao Yan immediately called Su Shi. After giving some instructions, Su Shi took the order and went out.

In just a few hours, the news that King Qin and Zhou Bangyan, a lyricist in Tokyo, were competing in the palace to compete in lyrics and music spread like wildfire, causing a sensation in the city of Tokyo.

The major academies, brothels, bookstores and printing offices are all excited. There is no doubt that many beautiful words and songs will be published tonight. This is a great blessing for the literary world.

The academy is all concerned about the impact of the article and this matter. Those doctoral students have already vaguely felt that this should be a major showdown in the battle of lyrics and music. The King of Qin was the one who invented music, and Zhou Bangyan was the contemporary songwriter. This

There must be a winner and loser to determine the true status of Qu.

If the King of Qin wins, or even if there is only a tie, then the status of Qu will immediately be self-evident, and it will be on par with poetry and lyrics, and cannot be shaken.

If the King of Qin loses, it may not have much impact on the literary talent and knowledge that the King of Qin reveals to the world. After all, the King of Qin is also a master of poetry, but when it comes to the matter of singing music, he declares failure. This will be a heavy blow to the reputation of the King of Qin.

The blow.

The Zhengdian brothel and bookstore printing bureau are thinking about how to get the poems and music for the dinner as soon as possible, which can represent wasted money.
