The night is like ink, which naturally covers the sun's rays, but it can't stop people from jumping away from the restaurant.

Yuyueju is just a very ordinary restaurant, the price is affordable, and the taste of wine and food is average.

No matter how good the business is, it will never be as exciting as it is now.

Tonight's unusual is entirely due to the news that Li Xuecheng, a limelight figure in the capital recently, is in the Yuyue House.

If Li Xuecheng just suddenly condescended to eat in the private room of Yuyueju, naturally there would be nothing to attract people. I have eaten a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and it is common to want to try coarse tea and light rice.

But what is really so eye-catching is because at this time he is not just for eating. Instead, he followed the advice of a certain Xixi teacher in Lishan Academy and chose this civilian restaurant to indirectly prove his innocence.

Li Xuecheng finally decided to choose this place as a place to prove his innocence, because this restaurant is located in the center of the bustling city, and most students usually gather.

Since ancient times, many literati have been high-minded, even if Li Xuecheng is a contemporary Confucian, even if he seems to be a humble gentleman and approachable on the surface, but in his heart, he still has the kind of innocent loftiness in the bones of a literati.

His current mood of being questioned for selling his reputation and reputation is probably only experienced by students with the same high heart.

Literati, on the other hand, are often more likely to worship people who are more talented than them.

What he has to do tonight is to show these students his true talents. uses his personal charm to prove that he Li Xuecheng does not need or disdain to plagiarize other people's poems.

At this moment, many students who came to hear the wind rushed to the lobby of Yuyueju. In one of the private rooms on the second floor of Yuyue Residence, there is Li Xuecheng, a contemporary Confucian who was admired in the past.

The private room called Scholar's Fragrance has a hidden door at the moment, leaving a small slit. Just so that the sound inside can clearly penetrate to the outside, but not so that people outside can get a glimpse of the privacy inside.

Most of the people sitting in the lobby on the first floor are students who come to visit. Some of these students are from powerful backgrounds, and some are from poor families.

At this moment, listening to the faint poetry of the private room, they all stopped the noise and pricked up their ears to listen.

quieted down, and immediately heard a loud voice coming from the private room on the second floor, "Orange Island, see the mountains are red all over...... The waves curb the flying boat. ”

At the end of the long chant, there was immediately applause in the private room, and one person exclaimed, "The head of the Li Yuan is really worthy of being the leader, and this thought really makes me unreachable." ”

Li Xuecheng was modest for a few words, and then gave up this opportunity to discuss poetry to someone else.

This is a poem based on things on the spot, and it is not only the usual skills, but also the clever reaction and mood that are integrated into it.

After a lap, it was Li Xuecheng's turn again.

If in the last poem, Li Xuecheng showed heroic spirit, then what he shows now is delicate and tactful.

After a circle, no matter what kind of subject matter, in the hands of Li Xuecheng, he can almost always make poems of different styles in a moment.

This brilliant talent really made the students in the hall intoxicated, Li Xuecheng saw the situation below through the crack in the door, and his depressed and angry mood finally improved a lot.

"Head Li, see it," someone in the private room said with a slight smugness, "Tonight, the news of Yuluju's poetry will spread, and no one will doubt your talent tomorrow." ”

The others echoed at the moment, "That's it." ”

In a happy and peaceful voice, Li Xuecheng finally let go, and he originally insisted on not drinking a drop of alcohol, but he also raised his wine glass under the persuasion of his colleagues.

When the wine came up, he became even more poetic, and composed a few more poems on the spot before stopping. The night is getting deeper, and the students who come to the lobby are gradually dispersed.

After the two Xixi teachers from Lishan Academy hired a carriage to send Li Xuecheng back to his mansion, Yuyueju, who had been lively all night, also quieted down.

However, when Li Xuecheng was drunk and sleeping on the couch, the majestic and majestic imperial study in the palace was brightly lit.

A stack of rice paper neatly placed on the top of the imperial case, each of which is a poem played by Li Xuecheng at the scene of the fish leaping house before.

Emperor Chu was originally reading with an expressionless face, but as he read it, his face became more and more gloomy.

After looking at a few photos, even the blue tendons on my forehead popped up. Still, he read all the poems with half-squinted eyes.

At the end, he threw the stack of rice paper full of handwriting on the case, and sneered, "What a Li Xuecheng, what a contemporary Confucian, this brilliant talent is really an eye-opener for me." ”

"Hide the head, reverse the tail, and combine the vertical and horizontal," Emperor Chu sneered and said slowly, "It's really diverse and colorful." ”

The waiter who stayed in the imperial study to wait heard his angry sneer, and his legs trembled with fright, and he wished that he could find a crack to shrink himself.

The wrath of the emperor is comparable to thunder, and it is really not something that ordinary people can afford.

Emperor Chu finished sneering, and then pinched his eyebrows and stared at the stack of rice paper with cold eyes.

Li Xuecheng dared to publicly accuse and criticize him for his immorality? Attribute the natural disasters in recent years to God's dissatisfaction with him as an emperor?

also hinted that he should abdicate as soon as possible to make way for Xian and straighten out the crown prince?

The Li family is really a big dog.

Contemporary Confucianism? As far as he Li Xuecheng dares to bully the king, he is also worthy!

Emperor Chu pinched his eyebrows and thought about it for a long time in the imperial study, and spent almost all two hours in the second half of the night. He just held his forehead and sat behind the imperial case in a motionless and contemplative posture.

Even if he lowered his head and pondered, his whole body still naturally exuded a terrifying imperial domineering aura, and the chamberlain would never dare to disturb him quietly, so he could only dim the lights as lightly as possible, so that he could sleep unconsciously in his contemplation.

When it was about dawn, Emperor Chu, who had not slept all night, had an even more gloomy and cold face. He swept his eyes coldly over the chamberlain, and said in a deep voice, "Commander Xuanlin is here." ”

The Praetorian Guard is the Imperial City Guard directly under the control of the emperor, and it is naturally only half an hour before the emperor wants to see the commander of the Praetorian Guard.

When Commander Lin hurried to the imperial study, the sky had already begun to fully brighten.

"Bow to your majesty." Glimpsing Emperor Chu sitting still behind the imperial case with a gloomy face from afar, Commander Lin chuckled in his heart, and his heartbeat accelerated inexplicably.

But he didn't want to think about it, Emperor Chu swept a threatening look, and then the majestic and terrifying cold voice sounded in the imperial study, "You lead two thousand elite soldiers," Emperor Chu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were even more cold and sharp, "Go to Li Xuecheng's mansion immediately and raid the house." ”

Commander Lin was shocked, and almost looked up at Emperor Chu in a gaffe, but fortunately, Emperor Chu's eyes were so threatening that he was shocked into a cold sweat and quickly lowered his head.

"If there is no reason to stop the resisters," Emperor Chu's knife-sharp gaze flew over, and the cold sweat on Commander Lin's back was also shocked, "Chop!" ”

A cold slash that did not carry any temperature spat out from Fang Yan's lips and landed on Commander Lin's heart, like a rumbling thunder on the ground.

Commander Lin lowered his head and frowned, covering the cold sweat that was oozing densely through the shadow of his forehead, and did not dare to hesitate for a moment, "Yes, I will take the order." ”

The two thousand elite soldiers, in addition to bringing all the weapons and equipment, even the killing aura exuded by their skills and bodies are stronger than the ordinary Praetorian Guards.

Commander Lin received the holy order, and immediately turned around and walked out of the imperial study, and after counting the number of people, he drove to Li Xuecheng's mansion non-stop.

By the time the empress and General Li Huaitian got the news, the 2,000 Praetorian Guards had already surrounded Li Xuecheng's mansion and began to search it vigorously.

Of course, Commander Lin went directly to the house under the holy decree of Emperor Chu, even if the queen and Li Huaitian would know, it would be useless, no matter how they were, it was impossible for them to directly confront Emperor Chu.

And when Commander Lin went to copy Li Xuecheng's mansion, of course, he also got the hint from Emperor Chu, and the main thing to copy was not how much family Li Xuecheng had, but to find out Li Xuecheng's precious collection of books or poems.

When the news reached Mu Xiaofeng's hands, even Leng Yue was a little surprised by Emperor Chu's quick and efficient action.

"Miss, you said that Commander Lin raided Li Xuecheng's mansion, can you copy what he wants?"

Mu Xiaofeng closed the account book, swept the sunlight reflecting all directions outside the window lattice, and then looked up at her and said, "Yes, definitely." ”

Emperor Chu has actually wanted to move the Li family for a long time, but he has never found a suitable opportunity. There is a great opportunity for him right now, and if he doesn't grasp it firmly, he, the emperor, has been doing it for so many years in vain.

It has always been the case, and the excessive power of relatives will inevitably affect the emperor's decision-making.

Emperor Chu originally needed to use the power of the Li family to ascend to the throne, but now that twenty years have passed, he has long wanted to get rid of the Li family soon.

If not, she would not choose to start with Li Xuecheng first.

Leng Yue saw that she was firm, and her heart was a little less worried, "So, Li Xuecheng is dead?" ”

Mu Xiaofeng looked at her, a playful smile on his lips, "Our Majesty is very holy. ”

Shengming has to let Li Xuecheng, a contemporary Confucian, die, can Li Xuecheng still live?

Commander Lin was ordered to raid Li Xuecheng's mansion, and soon copied dozens of old books from the previous dynasty and obscure poems written by him in his daily private office from the secret room of Li Xuecheng's study.

When he sent some of these things to Emperor Chu, he was still full of anxiety, for fear that Emperor Chu would accuse him of not doing things well.

Emperor Chu flipped through the things he sent in the imperial study, and said coldly, "What a Li Xuecheng, he treasures the old books of the previous dynasty as treasures, and the ambition of this wolf is simply obvious. ”

Commander Lin was in a cold sweat behind his back, and he had deep doubts in his heart, he couldn't understand what the collection of two ancient books had to do with the ambition of the wolf, and even he was still ignorant of Emperor Chu's intention to let him raid Li Xuecheng's mansion.

Emperor Chu glanced at him and knew what he was thinking. Immediately, he eased his expression with satisfaction, and Commander Lin didn't understand that his mind didn't matter.

The next thing will naturally be handled by a minister who can understand his thoughts.

Commander Lin only needs to obey the order to make the sharp blade in his hand.

A qualified and easy-to-use weapon, you don't need to have your own opinions, you just need to be obedient.

"Hand over everything to Dali Temple," Emperor Chu glanced at him indifferently, "In addition, other things found in the Li Mansion were also handed over to Dali Temple." ”

According to the ethical relationship, Li Xuecheng is a genuine uncle and an authentic relative of the emperor, and this kind of big case can naturally only be investigated by Dali Temple.

Commander Lin was shocked, Your Majesty wants Dali Temple to seriously investigate Li Xuecheng?

But no matter what he thought in his heart, he just looked loyal on his face, and said without hesitation, "It's Your Majesty, and I will transfer things to Dali Temple." ”

Regarding the disposal of Li Xuecheng, Emperor Chu's actions can be described as vigorous and resolute, and he did not give the Li family and the empress time to think.

Dali Temple received the items handed over by Commander Lin, and Dali Temple Qing combined with the fake peach blossom poem incident that spread some time ago, and naturally quickly figured out the holy will.

With all kinds of evidence found by the Praetorian Guards, Dali Temple directly asked the Yacha to go to the Li Mansion to invite Li Xuecheng back to the cell of Dali Temple.

It is easy to escort people back to Dali Temple, but it is difficult to get Li Xuecheng to confess his guilt willingly.

"Insulting the Holy One? Hidden evil intentions? Li Xuecheng sat cross-legged in a relatively clean separate cell in Dali Temple, and looked coldly at the yacha who came to interrogate, "You made me confess to something out of nothing?" Which sin am I confessing? ”

Although Li Xuecheng has now become a down-and-out prisoner, the queen is still high up in her queen. Therefore, the yacha did not dare to be too much to him, and when he saw that he looked angry and proudly wronged, he was not angry, but only took out a stack of rice paper with poems written on it and read it unhurriedly in front of Li Xuecheng.

Li Xuecheng looked at him with an inexplicable look, "This is a poem I wrote, yes, but if you want to make me confess to this trumped-up crime, it is absolutely impossible." ”

That yacha is obviously also a good-tempered person, and he is still not angry at his sneering appearance, only said slowly, "The saint is not benevolent, and it is against the way of heaven......

After only saying these eight words, I saw that Li Xuecheng, who was originally angry, suddenly turned pale.

Yacha sneered, "Li Daru's talent and name believe me, from Nanchu down to a three-year-old child to a seventy-year-old man, there is no one who has not heard of it." ”

"The writing of this Tibetan poem is really wonderful! Convincing. ”

Li Xuecheng's face turned pale, he was originally a talented and quick-witted person, and after listening to the words of the yacha, he finally realized that he had invisibly stepped into a big trap earlier.

Yes, he wrote these poems, but he had absolutely no intention of insulting the Holy One in his heart.

Although there was a thrilling fear in his heart at the moment, he would not admit such a crime no matter what.

"Nonsense, what a hidden poem." Li Xuecheng pretended to be calm and glared at the yacha, "I have never written hidden poems. ”

Yacha seemed to look at him helplessly, "Li Daru, if you insist on refusing to admit it, I can't help it." ”

"But," Yacha smiled meaningfully, looking at him with a heart-pounding look in his eyes, "I can't help it, someone will always have a way." ”

Note: The peach blossom poem in the previous chapter is borrowed from the great writer Tang Bohu's "Peach Blossom Song". The head of Orange Island in this chapter, hehe, I believe the girls should have read it
