The smile on Li Muyan's face was soft and generous, looking at Mu Qing, his body was straight.

This action did not attract too many people's attention, but it made Yuan Wenchang's face change.

It seems that the emperor values Mu Qing very much. The original Wenchang secretly thought about it in his heart, he thought that it was because of Liu Shiren, after all, it was a well-known thing for Li Muyan to be close to Liu Shiren, and Mu Qing had become Liu Shiren's student, I was afraid that Liu Shiren would mention Mu Qing slightly in front of the emperor, so Mu Qing was looked at differently by the emperor.

Yuan Wenchang didn't think it was because of Li Qianyu at all, now anyone with a discerning eye can see that because of the suppression of the queen's faction, Li Qianyu has been weakened, for Prince Zhuang, the most important thing now is to protect himself, where there is an opportunity to help a tribute student recommend.

Yuan Wenchang raised his head, his eyes were indeed lowered, he weighed the pros and cons in his heart, once in Guizhou, because Mu Qing took away his limelight and made Yuan Wenchang hold a grudge, he didn't deal with Mu Qing everywhere, but now Yuan Wenchang needs to think about what is the benefit of doing it against Mu Qing again.

Most of the things that harm others and are not beneficial to oneself are hot heads, but if the price is too great, the gains outweigh the losses.

Mu Qing didn't care about what others thought, in fact, it was very laborious for him to stand here now and try to keep himself calm and light.

Those who can be calm and calm in the dignified eyes of everyone, except for those who have long been accustomed to big scenes, are like Mu Qing who forced themselves to make the right reaction. Perhaps the part of composing poetry will not be reflected in the achievements on paper, but it will affect the impression of Li Qianyu and those officials.

The final circle point relies on these impressions.

Taking a breath softly, Mu Qing raised his head with a faint smile on his face and looked at Li Muyan. That kind of look made Li Muyan stunned, in fact, he is not the kind of person who likes to speculate on other people's expressions, after all, Li Muyan is the emperor, everyone can only provide him with him, what he needs to distinguish is who is cheating him and who is loyal to him, and people are the most deceitful animals, Li Muyan is more willing to believe in the political achievements and feats they submitted than the change of expression.

This indifference is also another form of condescension, Li Muyan stands on the top of a high mountain, looking down on all beings, life and death, those subtle things are naturally not in his consideration.

But for Mu Qing, Li Muyan paid enough attention, he looked at the face of this young handsome young man, and Mu Qing's expression at the moment made him a little surprised.

There is no almost flattering respect for the superior from the inferior, nor the arrogance that the young man always has, Mu Qing's delicate facial features are a light smile, neither humble nor arrogant, only when his eyes meet Li Muyan will there be a trace of admiration.

Ru Mu, this is a look that Li Muyan hasn't seen for a long time......

The eldest son, who had high hopes for him, had seen him like this, but when he gradually tasted the benefits of power, those eyes were no longer as clean as Li Muyan liked.

The sixth son, who had always been ignored by him, also looked at him like this, but after he was sent to Mizhou, Li Muyan himself never expected that child to look at him like this again, and in fact, just as Li Muyan thought, Li Qianyu may respect him and obey him now, but he no longer admires him.

And Li Chengming, the junior he is most optimistic about now, treats himself only respectfully and obediently, virtuous and filial everywhere, but he has lost the closeness between father and son.

There was a bit of a trance for a while, but this kind of reminiscence-like trance didn't last long, because Mu Qing didn't seem to see Li Muyan's strangeness, but chanted directly.

"Unpaid! Unpaid! Ask when the will of the king will be paid. There is no end to the ambition, and there is no end to the reward. There is no end to the progress of the world, and so is my hope. The suffering of sentient beings is constantly like a mess, and so is my compassion. There are high mountains when you climb high mountains, and there are even more Yinghai when you go out of Yinghai. Let the dragon and tiger leap to spend this hundred years, how much can it achieve? Although it is a little, I dare not take it lightly. Isn't there a little bit of Xi, a little bit of Xi is self-sufficient? But looking at the grand outline of the future and the distance, who can not feel the residual feelings. Whew! Men are ambitious in the world, but there is no end to progress. Words have been rewarded, and there is no ambition! ”

The audience was silent.

Liu Shiren raised his head in some astonishment and looked at the young man standing with his head held high.

He accepted Mu Qing because of Mu Qing's character and talent, and he held Mu Qing without a trace, because of his unspeakable relationship with Li Muyan. But now, Liu Shiren watched this young man for the first time without those miscellaneous feelings, just because of this poem, the old gentleman almost couldn't help the excitement in his heart.

There is no end to the ambition, and there is no end to the reward.

There are high mountains when you climb high mountains, and there are even more Yinghai when you go out of Yinghai.

Compared with those ordinary poems, this poem does not have such a deliberate and strict battle of words, but is more like using the style of poetry to express the chest, and every word is full of passionate feelings, without the slightest concealment. This is a young man's ambition, with thirst, with expectation, and endless vigor and ambition, which is enough to make people feel excited!

In terms of thesis, maybe Mu Qing is not as good as Yuan Wenchang just now, but in terms of spirit, Mu Qing is enough to win the championship!

No one spoke, and Liu Shiren was only amazed in his heart, just like Mu Qing's poem a few days ago enveloped Song Qianyi, and now this poem has completely made Liu Shiren look at him differently. This old man has gone through three dynasties, and his fame and fortune are as shallow as floating clouds, and what he seeks is nothing more than the longevity of the Great Zhou, but he has to meet the lord of Zhongxing! This ambition seems to have reached its peak at this moment.

Liu Shiren still looked at Mu Qing with clear eyes like a blue sky and a bright moon, and he was excited that he hadn't had for a long time.

And Li Muyan, who was sitting next to him, only had relief and indescribable pride at the moment.

Just as Mu Qing thought, Li Muyan now looked at the handsome young man who was standing in front of him, and his heart was full of emotion.

He didn't participate in Mu Qing's past ten years, and even Li Muyan didn't know that he had such an outstanding child. He couldn't fulfill the promise of the Jiangnan woman, which was a regret that could never be erased in his past life, but if he chose again, Li Muyan would still make the same choice as he did at the beginning, rights and women, even if they were as affectionate as Li Muyan, they could still make a choice.

Li Muyan is first and foremost an emperor, and power and status are the things he must hold in his hands, and Li Muyan is very qualified for this.

But perhaps it is this inability to make a choice, and it is also another kind of helplessness, which makes him value Mu Qing more. Mu Qing looked a lot similar to the gentle and strong Mu Yan in his memory, which made Li Muyan treat Mu Qing with a joy for no reason.

Even if Mu Qing is useless and willful, Li Muyan, a man at the pinnacle of power, probably won't look at him at all, every emperor is a perfectionist, they may have made mistakes, but they will never admit their mistakes. And Mu Qing is the product of a wrong accident, for Li Muyan, assuming that Mu Qing is not good, he will not hesitate to let Mu Qing disappear into the world, and put an end to all the possibilities that will endanger his decent princes, and he did it without a trace.

However, Mu Qing likes him so much, he definitely assumes a noble identity.

But it is this noble identity that Li Muyan is destined to not be able to give him for the rest of his life.

looked at Mu Qing, and it wasn't until Mu Qing came back with a slightly uneasy look that Li Muyan smiled. Obviously, his silence made Mu Qing nervous, and Li Muyan was no longer silent, but smiled with his palm: "Well done, well done." ”

This is the first time that Li Muyan has praised everyone since he let everyone compose a poem, it is only seven words, but it has already changed the faces of many people, but they all know that they are afraid that they will not have the opportunity to be with Mu Qing in the master. Those with low attainments in poetry have sighs and envy in their hearts, and those with high attainments secretly regret that they deviated from the topic and did not do an impassioned hand to make the emperor happy.

Among the crowd, only Yuan Wenchang had a flat expression, as if he had expected such and such a long time ago, and he was calm and comfortable.

============================================================================

The poem has passed, the sun has risen a lot, and it is almost noon. Li Muyan instructed Huang Hui to let the imperial dining room deliver the meal, and there was a palace person next to him to lead the tribute students to another place to eat, where there was a partition separating them, and they were not afraid of any forks exchanged between the tribute students. And Li Muyan took all the officials to the apse for dinner.

The emperor sat at the top, and the ministers were divided into left and right, two people at a table. There are four dishes and one soup in front of him, which is not sumptuous, but it is a high-quality product. Liu Shiren took the silver chopsticks and pulled the rice in the bowl, and a fresh and pleasant aroma of rice wafted out, and he knew that this was rice produced in the north, and it was considered the best in the tribute rice.

And the dishes on the table, whether meat or vegetarian, are extremely high-quality. Because Li Muyan has been a vegetarian recently, his table is full of vegetarian dishes, and there is only a simple honey sauce meat on the table of the ministers, but even if it is a vegetarian dish, the entrance is full of fresh and fragrant, and it is extremely delicious.

Although the emperor sat at the top, the appetite of the ministers did not diminish much.

The awe of the imperial power in the Great Zhou Dynasty was far less than that of later generations, just like now, courtiers don't even have to kneel down when they greet the emperor, and only important occasions will use big gifts. This also made everyone happily eat the honey meat even though they knew that the emperor couldn't eat meat, without worrying that they would be disliked by the emperor.

Liu Shiren didn't move his chopsticks too much, firstly, he was old, and he always didn't like to eat too much at one meal, after all, people will pay attention to the way of health when they reach a certain age, and secondly, his eyes have been staring at Li Muyan, and his observation without a trace seems to have become a habit.

Li Muyan didn't eat much, and he didn't make a noise when he put off his chopsticks, for fear of affecting other people's meals, so he just picked up the scriptures that had been reviewed next to him. The order is in reverse order of the students' rankings, which means that the students who are lower in the rankings will be seen first.

Flipping through one by one, Li Muyan seemed a little careless, he didn't like these one-by-one formal articles, but he was a little lacking in interest. But this is his responsibility, and Li Muyan still insisted on reading it.

It wasn't until he turned to the last page that his hand paused, and he picked up the paper and looked.

And Liu Shiren lowered his head and said secretly: It's finally here.

"Liu Aiqing, you come." Because he was sitting close to Liu Shiren, Li Muyan just beckoned.

Huang Hui hurriedly set up a chair not far in front of Li Muyan, and got a glance of Li Muyan's appreciation. Because of his leniency, Li Muyan would often set up a chair in front of him for his courtiers to sit down and discuss matters.

Liu Shiren lowered his head and stepped up the side steps, saluted first, and then sat down slowly, and said, "The minister is here." ”

Li Muyan shook the scroll in his hand: "Why didn't Aiqing circle this article?" ”

Liu Shiren raised his head and glanced at it, it was Mu Qing's scripture. With no hurry on his face, Liu Shiren seemed to recall before saying: "Back to the emperor, although Mu Qing's scripture is neatly written and the language is fluent, the idea is too old, and there are no outstanding words, so the old minister just put it in the second gear." ”

Li Muyan didn't seem to be moved by this explanation, he smiled and said: "Liu Aiqing, don't deceive me, I have been with you for more than 30 years, how can I not know what you think?" ”

Liu Shiren glanced at Li Muyan and sighed: "Wei Chen's hidden thoughts can't be hidden from the saint, and the minister put Mu Qing's article in the second gear because of his last poem." ”

"Oh?" Li Muyan raised his eyebrows, and his eyes looked again.

But I heard Liu Shiren say: "This poem, whether it is the idea or the literary style, is the best of the best, it is very good, and it is rare to fit the topic, it is very rare." But according to the rules, there is no requirement for poetry to appear in the scriptures. ”

"But Mu Qing doesn't seem to be too wrong for doing this." Li Muyan frowned slightly.

"His original intention in writing this poem is not because of the topic," Liu Shiren's expression was still light, and there was no fluctuation at all because of Li Muyan's dissatisfaction, "The word 'Wan' in this is slightly blurred, and the minister turned it over and looked at it, it was obvious that there was originally an ink spot here, and Mu Qing thought that he was just trying to cover it up." ”

Li Muyan stopped talking, just shook his head.

He values Mu Qing, which is very clear to both Liu Shiren and Li Muyan. It stands to reason that Liu Shiren should be a favor to let Li Muyan get his wish, but some things are not simple and simple words.

Polluting the test paper, this alone, even if the writing is full of flowers, it cannot be ranked first.

secretly said a pity in his heart, Li Muyan's expression faded, Liu Shiren still lowered his eyes, and said: "If you write a few words of encouragement on the saint, it can also comfort Mu Qing's heart, and it is also a good story to spread it." ”

Li Muyan was disgusted in his heart, but he still listened to Liu Shiren's advice. Huang Hui hurriedly handed over the full pen, Li Muyan took it and put down the pen, but before he finished writing a word, he said "Huh" gently.

Liu Shiren lowered his head, the appearance of the old god in his clothes, and the corners of his mouth had a faint smile in an instant.

The author has something to say: [Note:] In the article, "Zhi is not paid", author: Liang Qichao

The gist of the poem: The ambition has not been realized, the ambition has not been realized, when will my ambition be realized? There is no end to ambition, and there is no end to achieving it. There is no date for the progress of the world to stop, and there is no date for my hope to stop. The sorrows and sorrows of sentient beings are constantly slashed, just like the silk of chaos, and my compassion for the heavens and people is like the constant chaos of the silks, climbing a high mountain and finding that there are other high mountains, and traveling to the boundless sea and a wider sea. Let the dragon and tiger leap (talents) to spend this hundred years, how many achievements have been created? Although it is only a little bit, I dare not be arrogant, without this little accumulation, where do so many achievements come from? I just hope that the road ahead is magnificent and stretches endlessly into the distance, and who can not be moved by this feeling of mine? Ah, a man's ambition is to participate in the great affairs of the world, to take the world as his own responsibility, but there is a move forward and absolutely no retreat, when the person who says that his great ambition is realized is a person who has no ambition.
