The fourth floor of Guanghan Palace, Guanyuntai Pavilion private room.

At the end of winter and early spring, the spring is cold, and the house is still burning red coals, burning incense burners, and singing faintly.

In the banquet room, the tables are neatly arranged, and a name card is placed on each table, which is obviously the seat of the banquet arranged in advance.

Lei Shaoxuan found a good place to sit down, but saw Hua Qing come to the side with the name card and sit down, and put the name card on the original table on the back table, Wang Fei saw this, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Hua Qing, one of the four beauties in Xijing, is famous, he doesn't dare to provoke it, so he can only rearrange it.

"Fool," Hua Qing said in a low voice, "Collect all the king's 10,000 taels of silver and send back 6,000 taels, there's a lot of money, right?"

"It's not that I can't mess with that King of Qi. Lei Shaoxuan said helplessly.

Lei Shaoxuan whispered to the empty prince's table on the hall, and whispered: "King Qi's blatant reward of students will inevitably attract this deliberate wooer. ”

Lei Shaoxuan said calmly: "I'm just an ant, it's just a little bit cheap, if I take advantage of them, I may play myself to death." Two elephants fight, take advantage of their unpreparedness, the ants bite and stay away, otherwise they will notice, blow and the ants will die. ”

Hua Qing suddenly smiled and said: "It turns out that you have expected that since the King of Qi has rewarded and won over the students, there will inevitably be a banquet for the prince today, so take the opportunity to take advantage of it and not let them worry about it, it's too bad!"

Lei Shaoxuan hurriedly shouted: "Be quiet, it's a big trouble for people to hear." ”

"How are you going to take advantage of the crown prince and not let him hold grudges, and at the same time not offend King Qi?" Hua Qing couldn't hold back his curiosity and said with anticipation.

"I'm not a god, of course I don't know. Besides, is it so easy to take advantage of the prince's advantage?" Lei Shaoxuan said with a blank look at Hua Qing.

"The prince is stubborn and impatient, so be careful to provoke him. Hua Qing admonished.

Then he said confidently: "But you don't have to worry, as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke him, if he bullies you, I will help you out." ”

Lei Shaoxuan was moved in his heart and smiled bitterly.

was really remembered by the prince, a hundred Huaqing couldn't save themselves, the girls were full of love, but unfortunately their knowledge was a little short-sighted.

After a short time, the prince, who was dressed in brocade and embroidered robes and neatly dressed, walked into the hall surrounded by a group of people.

Lei Shaoxuan raised his eyes and gathered behind the crown prince, in addition to the sixth prince Wu Zhang, there were many officials, among them were Shen Lun, Su Min and Fang Qing and others.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the banquet of the prince to comfort the students is a kind of ceremony, which is naturally accompanied by officials, and it is inevitable to invite the officials of the national supervision to teach and participate, so it is worthy of the name.

At this moment, the crown prince participates in affairs and activities on behalf of the imperial court, and his dress, accompanying officials, etc. must be consistent with the activities, and his words and deeds need to be formal, and he cannot be as casual as the King of Qi.

After the officials finished their seats, the prince got up and waved his hand, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

"When the end of winter is unbearable, spring is not far away, and when you study hard, it is also not far away to serve the imperial court. The prince smiled.

Looking around at the students in the room, the prince picked up his wine glass and said, "All the students have studied hard for the country! ”

After a while, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After a few rounds of drinking, the sixth prince Wu Zhang raised his glass and said: "Students study hard, all day long is the strategy of governing the country, planning the world, etc., life is too serious and tense, it is better to take this opportunity to relax." Wouldn't it be nice to have some poetry and songs, and tell jokes about the wine order?"

Shen Lun squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay!"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively.

Shen Lun is the secretary of the country, if he can perform in front of Shen Lun at this moment, or shine in front of the prince, and can enter their eyes, it will obviously be of great benefit to his future career.

"I'll come first. A student in the front row got up and said, "In the deep winter, Qi Hongci, the prince is here, Jun En is dying, and the student is honored." ”

"Okay!" Wu Zhang, the sixth prince, clapped his hands, and everyone clapped their hands one after another.

The prince said happily: "Well written, reward." ”

"I'll come. Not to be outdone, Liu Zhi stood up.

Shaking his head and shaking his head, he said: "The snow scene of Yunhu is very strange, raise a glass to invite the topic of open-mindedness, I don't believe that there is such a situation in the world, drunk and lying in a high-rise building." ”

"Well, it's not bad. Shen Lun smiled. It's rare to have such a literary brilliance in the eagerness.

The prince said: "It is worthy of being a student of Taixue, reward." ”

"I'll come. ”

Another person stood up in the front row and said, "The prince is here, and we are very excited." The prince has a lot of opportunities, but he still doesn't forget us, Prince, it's really like the winter sun, Prince, it's just like the warm breeze of spring......"

This is a blatant slap on the prince's ass, and the first row is obviously the prince's person, and everyone can't help but look at it.

"Reward. The prince said.

Another man stood up.

"The prince is gracious, the sun and the moon are wonderful, only conscientious, and the liver and brain are deep. ”

"Reward. ”

“......”

The students stood up one after another to sing poems, basically praising the prince's kindness.

The prince kept rewarding, and was obviously very happy, and couldn't stop smiling.

The more everyone drank, the more lively they became.

Suddenly, the prince caught a glimpse of Lei Shaoxuan and suddenly remembered. The student in front of him was the only one who received a reward of 10,000 taels of silver from King Qi, and King Qi only gave the other 5,000 taels of silver, and he couldn't help but feel unhappy.

The prince waved his hand and said: "It is not easy for the border soldiers to lack food and clothing, and they are hard to defend the country. ”

The prince raised a glass of wine and said, "Captain Lei, I respect you, the border soldiers with a glass of wine, and you can also write a poem." ”

Lei Shaoxuan was shocked, and said quietly: "The border army has little reading, and he really can't write poetry, so I will punish myself with a glass of wine instead of writing poetry." Smile and drink it all.

"How can this work?" Wu Zhang said: "As a student of Guozijian, you must know poetry and songs, and it is not difficult to think of a poem that meets the situation." ”

"Yes, Captain Lei, don't be modest, everyone has poetry, how can you be missing?"

"That is, if you don't write, you will be fined three glasses of wine. ”

"What is a sergeant's penalty for three glasses of wine? at least one jar. Who doesn't know that the sergeants are all good at drinking, and a fine of three glasses is not a punishment, but it is right in their arms. ”

“......”

The crowd was in a hurry.

"Captain Lei, as a student of Guozijian, how can he not even write poems?" the prince's tone was a little unhappy.

Lei Shaoxuan smiled bitterly: "The prince came to the banquet in person, how solemn, Shaoxuan is vulgar and unliterate, lest he make a joke." ”

Everyone suddenly remembered something, and the commotion was even louder.

The first emperor once invited Guan Hong, the general of the expedition to the west who returned from the victory of the border army, and the officials at the banquet forced Guan Hong to write poems.

As soon as this poem came out, it became a sensation.

The first emperor thought that his poem showed the hardships of the border army, and he was very sympathetic, and rewarded 5,000 taels of silver on the spot; some people accused Guan Hong of being ill-intentioned and ridiculed the imperial court; some people thought that the border army was ruthless and the military horses were so precious, but they killed them for food in their mouths, and allowed the corpses to be brutal in the wilderness.

Since then, the border army has been invited to many banquets, as long as the sergeant is asked to write an essay at the banquet, he often speaks amazingly, known as the border text, which has become a temporary style, but in fact it is just a synonym for vulgarity.

Seeing that everyone was watching Lei Shaoxuan lively, and the prince didn't seem to like Lei Shaoxuan, Hua Qing was quite anxious, took his hand and whispered, "Or I'll come." ”

Lei Shaoxuan shook his head and said helplessly: "I'm rude, so I'll write a poem."

, if it is inappropriately written, please don't make fun of it. ”

Hearing this, the crowd fell silent.

"The lead cloud is falling on the bitter sea. Lei Shaoxuan said slowly.

"Good! Liu Zhi clapped his hands and said, and Shen Lun also nodded.

Everyone put down their wine glasses and chopsticks, and their eyes were all staring at them, full of anticipation.

Lei Shaoxuan continued: "The cold wind freezes the chickens (chickens), and the prince toasts me with a glass of wine, which is better than several layers of clothes in the cold winter." ”

As soon as the voice fell, Fang Qing was dumbfounded, Su Min directly covered his face, Shen Lun didn't have time to swallow a sip of wine, choked in his throat and kept coughing, Hua Qing smiled and collapsed in the chair.

The students were petrified in an instant, and then burst into laughter.

"Sure enough, the momentum is extraordinary, and the side text is the best. ”

"Rhyming, unpretentious, good poetry, haha......"

“......”

Lei Shaoxuan said aggrievedly: "I said that I read little, and I was vulgar and unliterate. ”

"What an occasion, how can you say that you can freeze the chickens......" Wu Zhang said angrily.

"Come on, Sixth Brother. Hua Qing sat down and sneered: "If it weren't for the border soldiers guarding the country and almost freezing the little (chicken) chicken, you would be able to play the little (chicken) chicken in the Guanghan Palace? What's more, people praise the prince from the bottom of their hearts and warm their hearts, what do you mean by blaming it?"

The prince came to his senses, gritted his teeth and said: "It is well written, although it is vulgar, it is simple and unpretentious, vivid and expressive, and the suffering of the soldiers." Reward, reward!"

This poem, at a speed like the wind, spread all over the country.

The border army is so miserable that people can't help but feel pity. After that, Guozijian strictly examined the quota recommended by the border army, did not let the disciples of the family occupy it, and made sure to ensure that real officers could be enrolled.

Three days later, the Prince's study.

The crown prince, the sixth prince Wu Zhang, and Wang Fei are meeting with a Cui Yuxuan partner.

"Our young master sent a piece of jade to the crown prince. The man said respectfully.

The mahogany box opened, revealing a vigorous and verdant jade carved pine, crystal clear, warm as fat.

All three of them were well-informed and amazed.

"Why did your young master give the prince such a precious thing?" Wu Zhang asked strangely, "What do you want?"

"This is not a gift for the prince, the young master said, this is a jade carving customized by the prince, worth 12,000 taels of silver. ”

The jade carving is worth 12,000 taels of silver? It's just a fart! It's worth 3,000 taels, Wang Fei pouted, but this is not the time to explore the value of the jade carving.

How can you treat yourself like a king of alignment, and regard the rewarded silver as a custom jade carving? The prince was slightly shocked in his heart, his face was silent, and he waved his hand: "Reward ten taels of silver, go down." ”

"What does it mean to give him 10,000 taels of silver and send back 12,000 taels of silver jade carving?" Wang Fei asked strangely, "Is it because you don't want to receive the prince's affection?"

"Definitely!" Wu Zhang pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Your businessman is unthinkable." Sending back 12,000 taels of silver jade carvings is not unappreciated, but appreciative and has the intention of taking refuge. ”

The prince nodded: "The same 10,000 taels of silver, this person sent back 6,000 taels to the eldest brother, taking 4,000 taels, he is greedy, and he sent back 12,000 taels to the prince because he is afraid of the prince." ”

The prince continued: "This man is greedy and cowardly, and he is not to be of great use. Tell us to go on, so that our people don't have to pay attention to him in the future, and don't embarrass him, lest some people in the military department take advantage of the problem and take the opportunity to make trouble. ”

Qi Wangfu, study.

Wu Tai sneered at Mr. Wu and said, "As the future lord of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the prince is rich all over the world, but he took advantage of two thousand taels of silver for nothing for no reason. The high position is generous, and he still does not let go of the small profits of the scholars of the country, who is greedy and stupid, how can he publicize this matter for the crown prince? ”
