Chapter 038 Lu Ming Poetry Banquet Prince Lifts the Siege

In addition to Lin Jue, the hand-picked tanhua of Emperor Hongzheng, the other two in the top three are all extraordinary literary talents, and the champions are also descendants of the family. I also know that even poor students are struggling to spend money on reading, so where can there be many books to read. In this way, there is a lot less accumulation, how to compare with the students from the scholar clan.

Historically, the top three have rarely had a poor man, which is also a helpless thing.

After the palace test, Emperor Hongzheng passed the roll call in the Jinluan Palace, in addition to Lin Jue's flower, he also pointed to Shandong Su Xie An as the champion, and Qi Wenzhao of the Luoyang Qi family as the leader. After the freshly baked Su Zhuangyuan Qi Bangyan Lin Tanhua led the Jinshi to thank him, he was led out of the Jinluan Hall by the leading eunuchs.

Holding the yellow list with his name written all the way, he went out of the noon gate, passed by a field, and hung the yellow list in a temporary shed, which can be regarded as responding to the nomination of the gold list and "the fish leaps over the dragon gate".

Lin Jue and the other two got on the same horse, Su Zhuangyuan hit the horse in front, Qi Bangyan and Lin Jue retreated together, and they humbled each other, Qi Bangyan was older, walking in front, Lin Jue was later.

Lin Jue once heard of the champion parade on the street, "holding the hand-picked emperor's holy edict, stepping across the golden saddle and vermilion-maned horse, hugging in front and back, opening the road with drums, thundering with joy, shaking the sky with joyful cannons, and putting up lights all over the street." "Now that I'm really involved, I realize that it's not like that at all.

How do you know that it is to receive a holy decree, and the incense case must be prepared at home, and the decree can only be received after three knocks and nine bows. After receiving the holy decree, it is also to be offered directly in the ancestral hall, where can you still hold it in your hand like this and look at it at will. It is not that there are a bunch of people in front of and behind, but the Jinshi except for the top three are all following behind the horse, not to mention "opening the road, thundering with joy, shaking the sky with joyful cannons, and putting up lights all over the street". There are also many people watching on the left and right sides of the road, but looking at the people who are opening the road around the road, all the officers and soldiers of the Beijing Guard with guns and knives, they have the heart to shout "good", and they also have to think about whether they can see the sun tomorrow.

A few people rode around the streets, not to show off such a circle, but to participate in the deer banquet arranged by the royal palace.

When he arrived at the royal palace, Lin Jue saw the crown prince Li Yiyang who nodded and smiled at him at first sight and Li Yibai, the king of Yonghe County beside him. The emperor of the Luming banquet does not come in person, and usually sends the crown prince or a heavyweight prince to preside over it to show the emperor's grace.

Li Yiyang was pregnant with Concubine Zheng last year, and gave birth to Lin'er when she was close to the end of the year, breaking the rumors that her heirs were difficult in Beijing, and was established as the crown prince by Emperor Hongzheng, who had been wandering, and was in the limelight for a while.

He was originally the concubine of the Empress Yuan, and the ministers of the court and the central government have always asked him to be appointed as the crown prince, but it was only because he was poisoned by others in the first few years that his heirs were affected, which led to the attitude of Emperor Hongzheng. Now that he has a son-in-law, the rumors are self-defeating, and Emperor Hongzheng made him the crown prince in order to calm the hearts of the courtiers.

Because of this, Li Yiyang has a lot of gratitude for Luo Song, and he also loves Lin Jue, the little disciple of Luo Shen Doctor. And because Lin Jue and Li Yibai are friends, Li Yibai is his person, and Li Yiyang has a good impression of Lin Jue.

can be admitted to the Jinshi, and none of the top three are stupid. At first, Lin Jue was very blue-eyed, and now the prince is also kind and kind to him, and the king of Yonghe County directly pulled people aside and whispered, everyone knows that Lin Jue's future is limitless.

Although they are not fellow villagers, they are in the same department, which is also a lot of contact and help in the court, and for a while, Su Zhuangyuan and Qi Bang saw Lin Jue and added seven points of affection. The three of them were not much different in age, and Lin Jue was an old man inside, but the more they talked, the more speculative they became, and when the banquet began, they had already evoked each other's words to show intimacy.

The Deer Banquet is also known as the Deer Poetry Banquet, as the name suggests, the most talented people in the world gather together, how can there be no poetry and wine to help the fun. Lin Jue has never been able to do poetry, and the most annoying thing is that he is so vassally and elegant, and if he doesn't do it, he seems to be unsociable, which is really embarrassing. However, he had already prepared, he had already communicated with Li Yibai, worked out the question that the prince might come up with today, and begged his sister Daiyu to make it in advance, he memorized it again and again, just waiting for today's big handy.

Sure enough, not long after the banquet, I heard the prince Li Yiyang say: "Today, the best of the world's students gather together, how can there be no poetry and wine to help the fun?" If there is a topic in response to this situation, everyone made poems, and they did not live up to this good spring. ”

Everyone would not refute the crown prince of the dynasty, so they nodded in agreement.

Li Yiyang said with a smile: "In this case, then ask Su Zhuangyuan to come up with the question." ”

Su Xie An hurriedly got up and humbly resigned, Li Yiyang let it go again, Su Xie An resigned humbly, Li Yiyang smiled and said: "That is the case, there is a question in the palace over there." Now is the time of bright spring, the apricot blossoms in the temple temple courtyard are blooming, it is better to take this as the theme, please play. ”

Lin Jue smiled secretly, closed his guess, exchanged a narrow look with Li Yibai, pretended to pick up the pen, and slowly copied the poems memorized in advance on the paper one by one.

There are all people here who are really talented and learned, and there are one or two who are not good at poetry, and they are much better than Lin Jue, an outsider. When everyone put down their pens one after another, some wanted to make a good name in front of the prince, so they made poems early, smiled and said, "Okay", and someone presented the poems to Li Yiyang.

Li Yibai's seat was the only one, and Li Yiyang also followed. After reading a few articles, I quietly gave Lin Jue a look, and Lin Jue understood, so he also said that he was "okay".

After a while, an attendant presented his poems. Li Yibai followed and took a look, and quietly said something to Li Yiyang, and Li Yiyang's gaze became a little narrower. Lin Jue secretly gritted his teeth, knowing that Li Yibai must have leaked his secret, and in vain he deliberately made a look of racking his brains, he couldn't, so he had to secretly scold Li Yibai for doing a lot of things.

After everyone had finished the poem, Li Yiyang pondered for a long time, and said: "You are all well-educated people, and now this palace can't tell the difference between high and low, so I took the better of them and evaluated them with you." ”

Everyone didn't say anything bad, so Li Yiyang drew a few articles and read them from the inside, and everyone praised them. Among these masterpieces, the top two of the top three are among them, but Lin Jue's poems have not been taken out for comment, and some people can't help but say two sour words.

After all, the champions are all people with real talent and real learning, and they are among the best among the tributes. Only Lin Jue, the twenty-first Gongshi, how did he get His Majesty's blue eyes, hand-picked as Tanhua, and there were people who were not convinced, and they did not dare to question the emperor's holy decree, so they said sour things about trivial things at this time.

Lin Jue didn't care, but Li Yibai was a little dissatisfied, looking at the eyes of those people, he had already brought knives. Those people didn't realize it, and they were still babbling sour things there.

Li Yiyang looked at Lin Jue with a smile and said, "It seems that some people have doubts about Lin Xiaotanhua's knowledge?" ”

Lin Jue pursed his mouth tightly, his eyes were slightly red, he stood up and arched his hand: "Lin Jue may not be as far away as everyone here in terms of knowledge, but he also thinks that he is not such a mediocre person. Jue is not proficient in these poems and songs, but he has some insight in policy articles, so he does not dare to agree with the words of several brothers. ”

Lin Jue was already young, and his body had not yet grown, so he talked to Su Qi and the others first, and because of his steady demeanor and proper speech, people ignored their real age for a while. Now that he behaved like this, he vividly expressed the image of a stubborn child who had been wronged, but could not bear it, and immediately won the favor of many people present.

"Thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young jinshi" Although Su Zhuangyuan, the largest of the top three people, is only a stand, and some of the other people who have passed the Jinshi examination are already old. Seeing that Lin Jue was still the same age as his own son and nephew, he couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart, and his eyes looked at those people with a little more dissatisfaction.

Those people were just complaining, and at this time they realized that the atmosphere was wrong, and they also felt a little difficult to ride a tiger.

Before he could say anything, he saw Li Yiyang pull out another scroll and said: "I saw that Lin Xiaotanhua was young, and he was already Tanhua, and I didn't want to increase his reputation anymore, if I really 'killed' him, it would be a pity." Now that some people question Lin Xiaotanhua's knowledge, they have to take out this poem and appreciate it together, so as to correct its name. ”

The waiter took the scroll and read Lin Jue's poems in a sharp voice, and the few people who had been talking sour words were immediately a little dumbfounded.

Su Xie An said with a smile: "Although this poem is plain, it is the mood of the apricot blossoms, and it is very poet and monk "wet apricot blossom rain". ”

Qi Wenzhao immediately nodded in approval.

Even the champion and Bangyan said this, and the others had nothing to say, and they all praised Lin Jue for a while.

Lin Jue tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, his grievances were pretended. His knowledge may not be worthy of the title of "Tanhua", but this "Tanhua" was personally sealed by the emperor, does he still have to be modest and humble with the emperor, saying that he is not worthy of this position?

He is not stupid, the difference between Sanding Jia and other Jinshi, fools can understand, does he have a shortcut not to take, but to start from the bottom little by little?

glanced at the three people who were sitting in the back seat awkwardly, and I didn't know if these three people were just being used as rafters to get out of the way, or if someone was behind them. It doesn't matter if it's the former, it's a mediocre talent not to be envied, but a few sour words, he still doesn't take it to heart. It's just that if it's the latter, then he has to check carefully, who is looking at him Lin Jue unpleasantly and wants to smear him in front of the prince.

Li Yibai also thought of this, exchanged glances with Lin Jue, and secretly informed the secret guards around him to find out the details of the three people.
