The Li family came in first.

Mrs. Li was on crutches and in good spirits, and immediately led the Li family to pay homage to the Son of Heaven.

The old woman was respectful, trembling, and spoke cautiously, without the slightest hint of arrogance.

"Give the old lady a seat."

Liu Che and Yan Yuese.

The eunuch standing on the side immediately moved a chair and placed it at the bottom of the left side.

On the right is the minister, and on the left is the family.

Although the left is not as noble as the right, the Li family is secretly proud.

The Son of Heaven has taken them as family.

When Liu Chan and Wei Yan came in to pay a visit, the humble smile on Mrs. Li's face immediately disappeared.

Liu Che looked at the young man in the audience and looked carefully.

Today, Wei Yan wore a brand-new robe, his hair was meticulously combed, and he looked young and graceful, with a beautiful young man's posture.

Wei Yan lowered his head, with a respectful look on his face, trying to maintain his composure.

Liu Che looked at him for a while, and then said, "Wei Yan, how did you come up with the story of "Journey to the West"?" ”

Such wonderful myths and stories were really written by this young boy?

Liu Che expressed some skepticism.

Wei Yan's eyes flashed, and he said respectfully: "When I was a child, the grass people used to go into the mountains to cut firewood, and met a white-haired old man meditating in the mountains, and the grass people gave him the fruits they picked to eat, and then he told me many stories, and also taught me to read and write, recite poems and lyrics, cook vegetables and do things, and so on. This "Journey to the West" was compiled by the grass people based on the story told by the old man and his own imagination. ”

"Is that so?"

Liu Che was surprised, his eyes showed a touch of excitement, and said, "That old man, are you still alive?" ”

Wei Yan glanced up at him, then lowered his head and said, "The grass people don't know. The grass man and the old man met for three years, and after three years, they could not find him again, until now. ”

Liu Che frowned, and suddenly said seriously: "Wei Yan, what you said is true?" You should know the consequences of the sin of deceit, right? ”

Wei Yan bowed and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, what the grass people said is true, and you will never dare to deceive Your Majesty." ”

"I don't dare."

Liu Che's eyes narrowed, the light in his eyes flickered a few times, as if he wanted to continue to ask something, but after glancing at the ministers below and Liu Yi next to him, he held back and said, "Wei Yan, do you know why I summoned you today?" ”

Wei Yan bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

Isn't it just a competition with the son of General Li?

As long as you win him, you will have 10,000 taels of silver!

Don't worry, Your Majesty, I promise that you, General Li, won't even have any pants left!

Liu Che nodded and said, "Okay, since I know, then I don't need to say more." I appreciate your literary brilliance very much, not only this "Journey to the West", but also those poems are also top-notch works, and I am also amazed after reading them. Originally, I thought you were just called by Ayi to fill the numbers, but now it seems that you do have real talents. But ......"

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Ayi, who was sitting next to him, and said, "However, if you want to be a person of my family's Ayi, you can't just have literary talent." So today, I want to personally write the questions and test you. You and Li Pinggong have a fair competition, and my ministers and children testify that I will never favor anyone. ”

"Ayi's people?"

Wei Yan was a little confused, who is Ayi?

He turned his head and looked at Liu Chan next to him, is it Sister Chan's nickname?

Liu Chan fooled him to compete, if he wins, he will become Liu Chan's person? Is it a doorman?

But that's not right.

It's just a doorman, it's impossible to bother the Son of Heaven to come up with the question in person.

Wei Yan suddenly had a sense of foreboding.

On the stage, the eldest princess Liu Yi looked at him and frowned slightly.

Looking at this young man's confused look, Xiaochan shouldn't have made it clear to him yet, right? Fooled?

For today's competition, she no longer has any hope.

After Wei Yan came in, if you want to say that the most surprised person here, it must be Bingji.

Bingji looked at the familiar young man in front of him, and his always calm and calm mentality suddenly collapsed.

He never thought that the one who was competing with Li Pinggong for the eldest princess would be this young man.

"For this first question, let's make a poem."

Liu Che groaned for a moment and decided to give Ayi a face first.

Only poetry can this boy have a chance to win.

Let's let this boy win once, at least Ayi's face won't be ugly, and this boy won't lose too embarrassed and miserable.

Although he has identified Li Pinggong, this young man does have some ability.

For the first time in so many years, he has moved his heart to cherish his talents, and if he hits this young man too hard today, he is afraid that this young man will collapse.

Liu Che frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, and said with a smile: "This question, let's use things as metaphors." The topic is broader, and it will be easier for you to play, and poetry can be used, and it will take time for a stick of incense. ”

After speaking, the little eunuch next to him immediately went over and lit incense.

"A metaphor for people?"

Li Pinggong immediately thought about it.

As soon as Wei Yan heard the title and thought about it for a while, several poems appeared in his mind.

However, his eyes looked at Bingji on the side, and his heart immediately remembered the grievances between Liu Ai and Prince Wei.

Maybe he could take this opportunity to hint at the one above.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Bingji also looked at him, still unable to calm the shock in his heart, and naturally couldn't guess what he was thinking at the moment.

On the stage, the eldest princess's eyes stared at him with some doubts.

After His Majesty asked the question, he didn't think about it, but his eyes looked at Bingji, as if he was hesitating something.

She naturally knew about Prince Wei's grievances, and also knew about his relationship with Bingji and Liu Aiji.

But like Bingji, she didn't think about what the boy was thinking now.

At this time, who would dare to speak for Prince Wei's family?

If you don't get it right, you will be guilty of killing your head.

Even she didn't dare.

"Your Majesty, the grass people already have a manuscript, called "Lime Yin"."

Wei Yan arched his hand.

Li Pinggong, who was carefully considering the sentence, narrowed his eyes and looked at him, but he was not disturbed and continued to think.

The eyes of the others in the audience all looked at Wei Yan.

Liu Che smiled: "Lime Yin? Okay, read it out. I came with Zhong Aiqing to evaluate and analyze, looking at the lime, what can I say. ”

Wei Yan's heart was horizontal, and he read aloud: "Thousands of hammers have been carved out of the deep mountains, and the fire is burned as if you are idle." Don't be afraid of broken bones, you have to leave your innocence in the world. ”

As soon as this poem came out, the eldest princess on the stage suddenly raised her frowns, and looked at him deeply.

Liu Che was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "If the fire burns for leisure...... Don't be afraid of broken bones, you have to leave your innocence in the world......"

An old man in the audience suddenly got up and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this poem has a heroic style, a frank momentum, sonorous and powerful, self-encouragement with lime, lofty ambitions, and noble character, it is really a rare good poem!" ”

Another minister also got up and said excitedly: "When the minister heard this, his blood was stirred, and his emotions were uneasy!" This poem is extraordinary, and this young man's ambition is even more extraordinary. ”

Liu Che looked at the young man in the audience with appreciation, nodded and said, "It is indeed a rare good poem." Wei Yan, I have to admire your ambition and literary talent. ”

As soon as these words came out, the poem that had just been brewed in Li Pinggong's heart was immediately dispelled by him.

Liu Chan on the side was secretly happy.

Who knew that at this moment, Wei Yan suddenly lowered his head, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, please redeem the grass people for offense." The last two sentences of the poem "Lime Yin" just now were not written by the grass people, but ...... It's a friend of the grass people, and Liu Ai has done it. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence in the field.

Bingji's face suddenly changed, and his eyes looked at the young man in shock.

He really didn't expect that this young man's courage was even greater than him, and he didn't expect that this young man's relationship with Liu Aiji was so deep that he was willing to risk killing his head and avenge his grievances!

It was as if he had only met this boy for the first time, shocked, stunned, and incredible.

Liu Chan on the side turned even pale.

Liu Yi, the eldest princess on the stage, also looked slightly stunned, and looked at this young man in surprise.

No wonder just now that His Majesty came up with the question, the young man's eyes looked at Bingji, it turned out that he wanted to take this opportunity to avenge the grievances of Prince Wei's family!

What a "broken bones, not afraid, to leave innocence in the world!" ”

Where is this lime groaning, where is Liu Aiji's grievances, it is obviously a true portrayal of himself!

How daring!

Liu Che was stunned for a few seconds, and then his face sank.

"Bold grass people! Dare to deceive the king! ”

Mrs. Li, who was sitting on the side, was suddenly overjoyed, and immediately got up and shouted angrily, filled with righteous indignation!

At this time, Wei Yan said again: "Your Majesty, the grass people just think that the last two lines of Liu Yi's poems are really well written, and the combination with the first two sentences of the grass people just matches the title, so I can't help but read them out for everyone to listen to." The grass people actually have a poem of their own, which has not been read. ”

"Read!"

Bingji immediately got up and said.

The gloomy look on Liu Che's face eased slightly, and he said coldly: "Read it." If your own poem is not as good as this one, then I will not spare it. ”

As soon as these words came out, Bingji was suddenly shocked and secretly screamed badly.

The ministers also shook their heads secretly.

If you want to come up with another song better than this "Lime Moan", how easy is it to talk about it? This boy is completely finished.

The eldest princess Liu Yi's eyes flashed, and her face showed a look of expectation.

Wei Yan raised his head and said calmly: "The name of this poem is "Bamboo and Stone". ”

After that, he read aloud: "

Insist that Qingshan does not relax

The roots are in the broken rock

Thousands of blows are still strong

Let the east, west, north and south winds! ”
