The third prince spoke next to him, "General Liu, you are a poet, and please ask the general to judge Xu Gongzi's plum blossom poem!" ”

Hearing that the third prince threw the question to himself again, Liu Fan was simply speechless, the two cousins seemed to have discussed it, and they both made statements one after the other to let them evaluate the poems, and on the surface, they seemed to be able to look up to themselves, but in fact, they all wanted to make things difficult for him, so that they could not get off the stage. The key is that I was thinking about things just now, and I didn't hear Xu Pan's poems clearly!

His eyes swept over Xu Pan's smug face, and his mind suddenly remembered the way a certain country treated his younger brother 'carrots and sticks' in his previous life, "Hehe, this third prince is also well versed in the way of royal people!" ”

"Oh, Xu Gongzi's poem is really good, I haven't seen you for a few months, Xu Gongzi's attainments in poetry have improved, it's really gratifying! However, Yang Gongzi, there are a total of two poems from today to now, plus the Yongmei poems that Hou Gongzi dedicated to everyone in Qiuhua when he was in Liangzhou, it seems a little inappropriate for me to talk here alone, and it seems a little inappropriate to spread it in the future! How about I suggest that this poem be commented on by Pan Gongzi? ”

Yang Yu and Pan Dongzi listened to Liu Fan's words, and after a little thought, they also thought that what Liu Fan said was also a little reasonable, if this poem was judged by Liu Fan again, it would be as if everyone had respected Liu Fan today, and it was not a glorious thing for a group of talented people in the capital to spread it.

I saw Pan Dongzi stand up and say, "Lord Wang, what General Liu said is right, to put it bluntly, today's banquet is Qiuhua, everyone is banqueting General Liu and General Li who came from Liangzhou, we blindly drive the guests to evaluate the poems for us, it seems that it is a little unreasonable, Xu Gongzi reluctantly commented on this poem from his post to two sentences, do you think it is okay?" ”

"Oh, since General Liu has already commented on it before, let Dongzi make an evaluation of Xu Gongzi's poems, and let the guests from Liangzhou appreciate the demeanor of our talented people in the capital."

Hearing that the third prince agreed to his and Pan Gongzi's proposal without hesitation, Liu Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but there was an extra question mark in his mind, the night before yesterday in the conversation with the second prince and Li Zongxiong, I heard the two mention this third prince, it seems that this person is not a good person at all, and said that he has recently relied on the saint's favor for the concubine to become more and more unscrupulous, I don't know why he looks so easy-going today, and after seeing himself, he is even more interested in showing goodwill?

In fact, Liu Fan's guess is not wrong at all, almost everyone in Chang'an knows that these three princes can be said to be the most notorious ruffians in Chang'an City, how many goodness in the capital are bullied by him, how many women are ruined by him, that is too many to count, otherwise he would not be able to mix the position of the head of the four great gentlemen in the capital, if it weren't for the fact that Yang Yan, the left prime minister, could occasionally restrain his behavior, and always cover up for him in front of the saint, he would have already rolled back to the fiefdom.

And the reason why he behaved like this today was because last night in the left prime minister's mansion he saw the confessions sent by the right minister Li Zongxiong from the commander of the C Brigade of the Long Xiang Army and the captain of the Chou Battalion of the C Brigade and the two of them, and he realized that his assassination plan was not only a complete failure, but also completely exposed, and the soldiers of a battalion he sent out not only failed to shake the other party in the slightest, but also made the team of more than 200 people completely lose their momentum, What they encountered was not a normal person at all, but a group of man-eating demons, not to mention that they would not dare to go against these people in the future, even if they looked at it again......

For this matter, he was 'persuaded' by his uncle for a long time last night, but this time he did not take his uncle's advice as the wind in his ears as before, on the contrary, he listened to all of his uncle's words last night, he knew that he was not changing sex at all, but this sneak attack made him really see the powerful force behind his second brother Huang Shu, a team of more than 200 people lost his armor and abandoned the armor of a battalion sent out without a single casualty, what kind of combat power is the 200,000 troops in the northwest camp!

He used to think that with the strength of his mother and uncle, the position of the prince was within reach, and it was this small sneak attack that made him wake up to the fact that the northwest camp was the second brother's sphere of influence, and the Hedong camp and the Yanshan camp were impartial, and the garrison of the capital he relied on looked simply vulnerable compared with the northwest camp......

Not only that, but my uncle's analysis last night made me even more depressed: "Li Xiang and the second prince are merciful this time, if they directly send Wen Wenshuai and Mu Qing and their confessions to the heavens, then the saint will definitely think that this is openly against him, Long Yan is furious, maybe Your Highness, your battle for the crown is over." Moreover, from the mouths of Wen Wenshuai and Mu Qing, I learned that the second prince and Li Xiang and others recorded a total of two confessions, and if their party was unfavorable to Liu Fan and others, that confession would appear on the emperor's dragon case in the Zichen Palace at any time. ”

When he left last night, his uncle Yang Yan repeatedly warned himself: "The Holy Lord handed over the commercial negotiations with the Khitans to you this time, not only containing a heart for your school examination, but also testing your tolerance, if you can't even tolerate such a general who fights for the country and goes in and out of the battlefield, does the Holy Lord dare to hand over this world to you?" ”

It was precisely because of my uncle's persuasion last night that after someone came to report that Liu Fan and his party had gone to Qunfang Pavilion early this morning, they immediately led a few entourages to rush here......

At this time, Pan Dongzi had already finished evaluating Xu Pan's poems, and in the midst of applause, everyone in the pavilion touched a lamp together at his suggestion, and glanced at the person in front of him who was applauding loudly and drinking several bowls of wine in a row, but he could see that although this person seemed to be casual, his heart was definitely not as calm as his face. said casually, "General Liu has something on his mind?" How do you feel a little absent-minded? ”

"What's the matter! Let the prince smile, the main reason is that I am a wine bag, I can't take care of anything when I see the wine, no, it's only been a long time, I have poured down one or twenty bowls, and I am a little anxious to go to the toilet, and I am afraid of losing etiquette in front of the prince. ”

"Haha, General Liu is really a wonderful person, as the saying goes, 'water and fire are ruthless', and if you are really anxious, what etiquette do you care!"

"It seems that the subordinate really guessed correctly, the prince is also a man of temperament, so I will confess first and go out like a toilet?"

"Go ahead, you don't need to ask me for advice on this matter!" The third prince said with a smile.

Walking out of the water pavilion, Liu Fan felt relaxed, "Damn, drinking wine is more tiring than fighting, I really don't know what these literati are trying to do?" ”

He whispered to Li Shoujing, who came out with him, "If you want to find someone to send a message to the county lord of Jingning, just say that we are entangled by the third prince here and can't get out, she wants to find a way!" Remember, don't let anyone find out! ”

"What can she do?" Li Shoujing wondered.

"You just have to say, I don't know if she has a way, but someone else will definitely have a way."

"Oh!"

After Li Shoujing left, Liu Fan walked slowly along the gravel path under the guidance of a little girl not far in front.

Turning around a small pavilion, a faint fragrance came to the nose, more than a dozen plum trees on the edge of the pond in front of them were in full bloom, dense flower branches were layered on top of each other, and the eyes were full of five-petal flowers with white in the pink. ”

"Hey, scare me, are you a human or a god of flowers? How can you stand quietly in this flower bush? ”

Only then did Liu Fan see clearly that among the few flowers and trees, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl was wearing a white dress and quietly looking at herself, looking sweet, but there was a trace of hesitation in her big eyes that should not be at this age. Pink flowers lined with white skirts, and the flowers are more delicate.

I am lonely and helpless in this world, I don't want to be a person for a long time, I want to go with my sister every day, but I am afraid that I will not find my parents and sister after the past, I am still a lonely ghost, and as for the god of flowers, I dare not ask for it in my dreams.
