Chen Siye said modestly: "The seniors won the award, but it was just a fluke. ”

Hearing him be so modest, the white-haired old man said with some displeasure: "What are you modest about this kid?" After a pause, he asked, "What is the name of this poem?" ”

Seeing that this white-haired old man was not like an ordinary person, Chen Siye did not refute, and replied respectfully: "It's called Chrysanthemum." ”

The old man who guarded the gate nodded slightly and said, "Report!" ”

The scholar who had been waiting for a long time said loudly: "Chen Liubu Chen Gongzi has broken through three levels in a row!" Six steps into a poem, the title of the poem chrysanthemum, the whole poem is as follows..."

After the scholar finished shouting, the old man showed a smile and said: "Chen Gongzi can go upstairs, who will be the leader of today's poetry club, the old man will wait and see." ”

Chen Siye didn't say that it must be me, he saluted the old man, and then turned to the crowd and saluted: "Thank you for encouraging Chen, Chen is grateful." ”

"Chen Gongzi is going to take away the poet!" Someone shouted.

Chen Siye smiled and said, "Chen should do his best. ”

At this time, a girl said: "Where is the arrogant person who just said that Chen Gongzi would have the surname Chen Gongzi after breaking through three levels in a row?" Still not ready to keep your promise? ”

When everyone heard this, they turned their heads to look around, only to find that Guo Gongzi had long since disappeared.

The girl said hatefully, "Count him as fast as he runs!" Seeing that this girl was very angry, Chen Siye persuaded: "The girl doesn't have to be angry with him, I didn't feel at ease." ”

As he spoke, he smiled at the girl and left in style.

The people on the side of the road behind can't pass, and only those who have passed the three levels can enter, and there are guards guarding them, so he can only go alone.

Walking along the corridor all the way to the front, is a small two-story building built on the lake.

At this moment, a maid downstairs was guarding the door, and when she saw him arrive, she was blessed and said, "Chen Gongzi, please come with me." ”

As the maid went upstairs, she saw that there were already a lot of people sitting upstairs, the head was naturally the crown prince Li Runze, the prince Jin Hongtai and the Xuanyang county lord Jin Hongyi were also there, sitting on the second seats on the left and right sides, but Chen Siye was surprised to find that Qiu Ju was also there, sitting with the Xuanyang county lord muttering and talking, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and a little angry, he left without saying a word.

The rest were all fresh faces, two middle-aged people and two young people.

Seeing Chen Siye coming upstairs, the eyes of the crowd looked at him one after another, Li Runze laughed and said: "Chen Gongzi has broken through three levels in a row, it must have taken a lot of brainpower, please sit down!" Seeing that he looked like nothing had happened before, Chen Siye couldn't help but be a little surprised.

However, Li Runze glanced at Qiu Ju from time to time, and the expression on his face was slightly unnatural, seeing this scene, Chen Siye felt a little relieved, it seems that he is pretending to be kind, so he should be careful.

The prince and the county lord of Xuanyang also smiled at him, and Qiu Ju winked at him, as if to say surprise, surprise?

The others also smiled and nodded at him, and Chen Siye thanked him and sat down at the bottom.

Everyone is a separate small table, and Qiu Ju and the lord of Xuanyang sit together, and as soon as Chen Siye sat down, a maid served snacks, dishes, and wine, everything, and they were all exquisite.

This is much better than the dim sum he ate out before, but he has not digested it in his stomach, so he can only sigh and regret it.

The prince smiled and said, "Gong Chen."

The son hasn't eaten yet, has he? Eat something to cushion your stomach, and I'll introduce you to all of you. ”

Chen Siye touched his stomach, although he couldn't eat it anymore, it was not easy to refute his face, so he forced a laugh and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Xie." Saying that, he picked up the chopsticks and ate two bites casually with a bitter face, Qiu Ju couldn't help but laugh when he saw his expression, and lowered his head and didn't know what to say to the county lord of Xuanyang, which provoked the county lord of Xuanyang to look at him and cover his mouth and laugh.

Inadvertently seeing it, Chen Siye couldn't help but secretly say when did Qiu Ju have such a good relationship with the Xuanyang County Lord?

Seeing that Chen Siye moved the chopsticks, the prince smiled with satisfaction and introduced everyone to him. First of all, there were two middle-aged people in the middle, and I saw the prince pointing to the two of them: "These two are Taishi Ling, Zhang Hong, Master Zhang and Hanlin Bachelor Dong Mingchang and Dong Hanlin, these two adults are brilliant, pillars of the country, and today's selection of poetry depends on these two adults." ”

The two adults said modestly: "Where is it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a smile." ”

Chen Siye also hurriedly greeted the salute, "Chen has seen two adults. ”

The two were also very polite in return.

The prince then pointed to the two young men and introduced: "These two have also passed the three levels, and the one on the left is a famous talent in the capital, the grandson of my teacher He Taifu, He Shang He Gongzi." ”

On the left, a young man wearing an indigo robe with a face like a crown of jade stood up and smiled at Chen Siye: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an overreputation, how dare he call himself a genius in front of Chen Gongzi." ”

Hearing this person's name, Chen Siye almost laughed, He Shang, monk, it's amazing. Holding back a smile, he stood up and arched his hand: "It turned out to be Gongzi He, I really admired it for a long time, and I have heard of Gongzi He's name a long time ago." In fact, where did he know the name of He Shang, it was just a polite remark.

However, He Shang still believed it to be true, and was a little complacent. I heard the prince continue to introduce: "This is Huang Yucheng Huang Gongzi, and he is also a well-known talent in the capital, and his poetry is not weaker than He Gongzi. ”

This Huang Yucheng has a mediocre appearance, plain clothes, and at first glance, he is a son of a poor family, no wonder the prince did not introduce his family background, Chen Siye was also busy: "Huang Gongzi, I have admired my name for a long time." ”

Who knew that this Huang Yucheng actually smiled faintly and said, "Long Yang? I'm afraid it's the first time I've heard my name, right? ”

Chen Siye was suddenly very embarrassed, and said in his heart that this Huang Yucheng is not a fool, right? Just know this kind of thing, do you still need to say it?

Seeing that Chen Siye was stunned, the prince was very satisfied, but he didn't say anything at all, and looked at the situation with a smile. Shizi couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Okay, since the two of you already know each other, sit down, and wait to see if anyone can pass these three levels." ”

In fact, the cost of this topaz is the prince's person, because of his poor family and the prince's appreciation, he became Li Runze's doorman. Today, I also got the instructions of the prince, and I should try to find something unpleasant for Chen Siye.

This Chen Siye is indeed a little unhappy, I originally thought that he was a talented man, and he had some intimacy, and whoever wanted to come up choked him.

After sitting down, Huang Yucheng still didn't let him go, and said with a chuckle: "The poem on chrysanthemums that Chen Gongzi just wrote is very exquisite, but... I feel a little inappropriate below. ”

Before Chen Siye could answer, the prince's eyes lit up and asked, "Oh? What's wrong? ”

Huang Yucheng stood up again and said: "I think that Chen Gongzi's poem has the intention of rebellion!" ”

As soon as they heard this, the audience was shocked, and they all looked at Chen Siye and Huang Yucheng, neither of them heard where there was any intention of rebellion.

Chen Siye also felt a sudden feeling when he heard it, this poem was written by Huang Chao, the leader of the rebel army in the late Tang Dynasty, and it does have the meaning of metaphorizing itself. He thought that no one would think of this layer if he used this poem, but he didn't expect this Huang Yucheng to also think of this aspect, he really deserved to be surnamed Huang, but he didn't know why this Huang Yucheng couldn't get along with him, and he didn't provoke him.

was about to refute, but heard the prince Li Runze ask: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Huang Yucheng coughed lightly and said: "The third sentence of Chen Gongzi's poem actually says that 'he is the emperor in his year', isn't it obvious enough? It's jaw-dropping! ”

Originally, everyone thought that he would say something, but they just picked out the words, and they couldn't help but laugh a little.

Chen Siye laughed and said, "Don't Huang Gongzi know what the word Qingdi means? The Qing Emperor is just referring to the God of Spring, and Huang Gongzi is a bit far-fetched when he says this. ”

"Oh? Is that so? But if this third sentence is connected with the fourth sentence, it clearly means that if one day gains power, it will change the world! ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help frowning, and had to admit that what he said still meant a little bit.

However, Chen Siye refused to admit it, and sneered at each other: "It's just an ordinary poem, and it was misinterpreted like this by Huang Gongzi, it's really ridiculous!" ”

What else did Huang Gongzi want to say, but the prince stopped: "Okay, there is no need to say it, in my opinion, Chen Gongzi's poem has no other intentions." ”

Huang Yucheng was a little surprised, and said in his heart that you didn't let me trouble him, why didn't you let me say it.

Chen Siye was even more surprised, how could the prince of the secret path still help him speak.

As everyone knows, the prince was already overjoyed in his heart, and he greatly appreciated this Huang Yucheng, but it was inconvenient to continue this topic at this time, after all, although he wanted to embarrass Chen Siye, he still wanted to give Shikui to Chen Siye. Just wait for him to become famous afterwards, and then take out this poem, saying that he colluded with Li Lexuan to intend to rebel, wouldn't it be better?

Being reported as a poem for rebellion, this kind of thing can be big or small, and it is not without precedent in the past, the prince and the lord of Xuanyang originally wanted to say two good words for Chen Siye, but when they heard Li Zerun say this, they all thought that Li Runze had a heart of love for talent, so he didn't plan to pursue the matter, so he didn't say anything. Only Qiu Ju knew that the two had a grudge, and couldn't help but look at Chen Siye worriedly.

Chen Siye was speechless about this Huang Yucheng, he was originally in a good mood, but when he was so troubled, he suddenly lost interest, and did not speak with a cold face.

That Huang Yucheng originally thought that he had grabbed Chen Siye's pigtails, but for some reason the prince suddenly didn't let him say it, and he was a little unhappy.

There was no one to speak, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little cold.

After being silent for a while, Taishi made Zhang Hong feel that the atmosphere was not right, and glanced at Dong Mingchang, a bachelor of Hanlin, and nodded lightly, Zhang Hong said with a smile: "I don't know which talent will be the next one who can pass the three levels?" ”

Dong Mingchang had a beard, stroked his beard and said, "This is not good." But at this time, I'm bored.,It just so happens that I have a pair of upper links here.,Pondering hard but can't think of the next link.,Why don't you ask three talented people to think about this next link for me? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Siye immediately responded: "Naturally, it is excellent, but Lord Dong, please wait for a while, there is also a pair of upper couplets below, I heard that Huang Gongzi is good at couplets, and I also ask Huang Gongzi to solve my doubts first." ”

This Huang Yucheng also held his breath in his heart, and when he heard this, he didn't think about it, so he agreed: "You can come." ”
