Chapter 145: Literary Examination
"Your Majesty," Lu Zheng said, "Yesterday, the prince of Qi State, Yan Hui, actually saluted with a sword, which is really unusual!" ”
The emperor laughed: "Emperor Qi's heart, of course I have to accept it!" Otherwise, wouldn't you admit cowardice? Ladies and gentlemen, you say, don't you? ”
"What the Holy One says is very true!" There are ministers below who are starting to follow suit.
Lu Zheng sneered and listened to everyone.
"Your Majesty, although Emperor Qi has sinister intentions, Wei Chen's sword is indeed a treasure!" A minister said.
"That's a mistake! What treasures do we don't have in Daxia? How can you lose your character because of a treasure? ”
"Your Majesty, take my look...... Let's also pay tribute to each other, we can't let this breath be in vain! ”
"Small country bearing! Your Majesty, don't ......"
"That's it!" The emperor interrupted everyone's words, "It's just a sword, I can't see it out of sight and don't worry about it, Jing'er wants to play, I have already given it casually." Eh, why didn't the scene come? ”
Gonggong Li replied immediately: "Your Majesty, the fifth prince is unwell today and did not come. ”
It turned out to be handed over to the five princes, no wonder the emperor was not poisoned! Lu Zheng verified what he thought in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor bowed his head and muttered: "It's okay." Enter the palace of the princes! ”
"Yes. The prince of Xuanzhong entered the palace—"
Ladies always have an unusual curiosity about men. Finally, this long-awaited scene is coming!
The people in the palace were looking forward to it, especially those who had not yet met the princes, and they were even more curious about these "mysterious" figures. When entering Beijing, the distant glimpse could not satisfy people's curiosity at all. Finally, in the midst of all the people's attention, a total of twenty-four princes from various countries walked one after another, all the way to the front of the palace.
Among them, several princes are particularly eye-catching, and the arrogant and cold one is Yan Hui. The cynical is Tuoba Sui, the courteous is the Prince of Dali Duan, and there is another one, who is not good-looking, but handsome and strong, is the Prince of Loulan.
Dozens of princes knelt down in unison according to the etiquette of the Han people, shouting: "I've seen Your Majesty!" ”
"Throne!"
The princes were divided into two groups. Sit down one by one. Twelve on each side.
Xu Jiao pouted and whispered in Guo Jia's ear: "Sister Jia, look at this prince of Qi with a stinky face. My sister's least favorite thing is him! The seventh princess, don't marry him! ”
Guo Jia interrupted her softly: "Sister, don't say it!" ”
After Guo Jia finished speaking, she subconsciously looked at Yan Hui, who knew that Yan Hui also looked over here, as if she was responding to her gaze. Guo Jia was stabbed by the fierce eyes hidden in the coldness. Yan Hui just glanced at it indifferently, and then turned away as if nothing happened.
Lu Zheng coughed lightly. Yan Hui knew what he was reminding.
Although the emperor doesn't talk much, his voice is strong and his spirit is excellent, and he can't tell that he is a person who has been poisoned.
Yan Hui couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Could it be that the effect of the medicine is not enough? But it shouldn't! I've done experiments before......
Even the crown prince found out what was wrong. Configuring an antidote is not something that can be done in a moment!
Anyway, it's really weird!
The emperor coughed lightly, and Duke Li understood. Standing up from behind him, he said in a sharp voice, "Spread the will of the Holy Lord." Today is the first item of the Seven Princesses' Recruitment Conference, the literary test, which mainly examines the personal talents of the princes, so as to choose a good son-in-law for the Seven Princesses! Biography—"
As soon as the father-in-law finished speaking, the two little eunuchs walked up with a yaoqin in their arms and put it in the center of the main hall. Immediately afterwards, a woman who looked like a violinist came up with a bewitching figure, first saluted the emperor, and then walked to the piano and sat down, without speaking, only moving her fingers slightly, and a wonderful song poured out from under her hand.
It's similar to "Mountains and Flowing Water"! Guo Jia thought to herself.
But the princes heard it in a fog, and did not know what it meant.
Tuoba Sui smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, you should announce the topic!" ”
The emperor said with a smile: "This is the title." ”
"Huh?"
As soon as these words came out, there were big and small discussions in the hall instantly, not only the princes looked at each other, but even the ministers and wives watching from the side were staring at each other, not knowing what the emperor meant.
"The princes have a stick of incense, and the princes rely on the tunes they just heard, whether they write poems or comments, there is no limit to the form. Light incense—"
The little eunuch didn't know when he brought a small incense burner, and he listened to Gonggong Li's order and lit an incense stick. The fragrance is lingering and spreading throughout the hall, which is intoxicating.
The princes frowned one by one, and pondered the deep meaning of the song just now. Some of the strategists saw that their prince was too stupid or could not speak well, so they couldn't help but discuss it in a low voice with their master.
Wei Lan poured himself a drink, and he didn't seem to have any interest in the outside world. Lu Zheng had a string in his heart, always paying attention to the situation on the field.
Chu Aling and Guo Sheng discussed the princes softly, and from time to time there were one or two giggles. Chu Rui was on the other end, but his eyes looked at the two of them from time to time, Guo Sheng only thought that he was looking at his sister Chu Aling, but he didn't know that Chu Aling pretended to be naïve, but he laughed at his brother in his heart!
Xu Jiao is young, can't sit still, and is a fun-loving person. She told Cai several times that she wanted to go out, but Cai stopped her. Xu Jiao simply pulled a face, and she was angry in her heart.
Almost all the dignitaries and nobles in Yongning City are in this small hall, Guo Jia looked at the people who were chatting and laughing here, but he couldn't help but worry about the real protagonist here today.
The little girl who once saved her life, and then was pushed into the palace by herself!
Sure enough! Born in the emperor's family, there are many things that are forced to happen. Although today is to choose a relative for the Seventh Princess, the Seventh Princess does not even have the right to come and take a look in person......
Guo Jia couldn't help but feel a little sad!
The little eunuch stared at the incense that was about to burn out, and shouted, "The hour has come—"
The princes at the moment had different expressions. Indifferent as Yan Hui, indifferent as Tuoba, determined as Prince Dali, and more panicked, like his own advisers, all the frustration on his face is annoyance, obviously there is no satisfactory answer.
The emperor was probably sitting uncomfortable, he changed his posture slightly, and asked, "Which prince has a high opinion?" Just say it, I'm listening! ”
I thought that no one would dare to be the first to come forward, but I didn't expect Prince Rouran to stand up first. He muttered a lot, and the strategist listened to him, and a layer of embarrassment slowly appeared on his face. After the prince finished speaking, the advisor hesitated to translate: "Your Majesty, our prince said, this question is too difficult, well, our prince, um...... He didn't understand it very well, but, but the emperor, the prince praised this song as very beautiful, and it was as moving as the singing voice of the seventh princess! (To be continued.) )
