Chapter 065 Knocking on the Mountain and Shocking the Tiger and Shocking Xiao An (I)
Zhang Defu hurriedly ran over and bowed to the ground, and said loudly, "Niangniang, the slave was ordered to invite Zhang Xuan, the little Langjun of Zhangfu, and is now waiting for Niangniang to summon him." β
Yang Guifei had actually seen Zhang Xuan's tall and elegant figure standing at the corner of the hall at this time. She looked up at the room, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said loudly, "Pass, sit down." β
If Zhang Xuan's so-called talent and fame before could not really make Yang Guifei have a good impression of him, but then Zhang Xuan's "Taizhen Fairy Fu" in Mrs. Yuguo's mansion completely moved her.
The literary and beautiful rhetoric is like a fairy sound, every word reverberates and hovers in her heart, and she is ordered to write and frame it in the palace, she appreciates and plays every day, her heart is relaxed and happy, and she can still recite it proficiently.
"Zhang Xuan meets Niangniang." Zhang Xuan lowered his head and walked closer and bowed. At this moment, in the formal occasion of the palace, he cannot tolerate the slightest imprudent and negligent.
Yang Yuhuan smiled slightly, and said softly, "No courtesy, Brother Xuan, please take a seat." The palace hosted An Qingxu, the second son of An Lushan, for a banquet today, and did not invite outsiders to come...... Let Guozhong accompany you. β
"Thank you for your grace." Zhang Xuan got up slowly, walked to the back of the desk with a calm expression, and sat down calmly. He knew in his heart that Yang Yuhuan was like this, in fact, he had the intention of helping him - to create an opportunity for him to contact Yang Guozhong.
Yang Guozhong looked at Zhang Xuan deeply, and said in his heart that this is Zhang Jiuling's youngest son - Zhang Xuan, who dared to denounce Li Linfu? This little guy is so beautiful, no wonder he likes the third sister so much.
To be honest, although Yang Guozhong didn't have a deep impression of Zhang Xuan, he faintly had a good impression. There is no other reason, just because Zhang Xuan dared to scold his political opponent Li Linfu in person, which made him feel very happy.
An Qingxu looked at Zhang Xuan curiously, but there was a trace of doubt in his heart: such a white-clothed gentleman, even if he has some talent, will definitely not let today's concubine be so favored...... Why is that......
Not long after An Qingxu came to Chang'an, Zhang Xuan's name was only slightly heard. It's just that I heard the dancer sing the song "Taizhen Fairy Fu" just now, and I was a little surprised to know that the young man in front of me was the author of this Fu.
"Brother Xuan, this palace is here to introduce you. This is Yang Guozhong, the current right minister, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the scholar of Jixian Palace. Yang Yuhuan smiled and waved his hand, and when his long sleeves waved, a strong aroma spread in the air and rushed into Zhang Xuan's nostrils.
Zhang Xuan got up and bowed to Yang Guozhong, "I've seen Yang Xiang." β
Although Zhang Xuan's etiquette is in place, his demeanor is neither humble nor arrogant. Yang Guozhong smiled and waved his hand casually, "No courtesy, since the prime minister returned to Beijing, the name of you, the little Langjun of the Zhang family, has been like thunderββ"
"This is the envoy of the Three Towns Festival and the second son of An Lushan, the king of Dongping County, An Qingxu." Yang Yuhuan set his eyes on An Qingxu again.
Zhang Xuan turned around and bowed to An Qingxu, "I've seen General An." β
An Qingxu nodded slightly arrogantly and reservedly, which was considered a return gift.
Zhang Xuan sneered in his heart, but turned around and sat down disapprovingly.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Yang Guifei is his sister, Zhang Xuan is just a junior scholar, and An Qingxu is certainly the son of An Lushan, but in his eyes, it is not worth mentioning, so after three rounds of drinking, Yang Guozhong spoke a little dissolute and unscrupulous.
And An Qingxu was even more flattering, greeting Yang Yuhuan and Yang Guozhong again and again, and doing his best to be sycophant.
Zhang Xuan sat there silently, watching the boring farce in front of him, but he was actually a little bored. It's just that no matter how much he doesn't like it, he has to stick to it to the end.
"Looking at the world's capable ministers, only Yang Xiang is alone. Wen Tao is martial, loyal and brave, and can be called the top beam of the humerus of the Tang Dynasty...... "An Qingxu raised his glass to Yang Guozhong and invited him to drink, "The young general in Pinglu often hears people's opinions, the emperor is wise and martial arts, Yang Xiang governs the country and the world, and the Tang Dynasty has been prosperous for thousands of years." β
Yang Guozhong laughed, raised his glass and responded, "The little general has an overreputation, and he has been honored by the emperor and his mother, and he has been ...... since he died of dedication to the Tang Dynasty."
An Qingxu's intentional flattery actually didn't really make Yang Guozhong take it to heart, because his jealousy of An's father and son was too heavy. Moreover, although Yang Guozhong is authoritarian and domineering, he is not shallow, and he will definitely not be dizzy because of a few sycophants.
It's just that everyone is willing to listen to good words.
Yang Yuhuan frowned, her beautiful face seemed to be disgusted and happy, and there was a charm between her eyebrows and eyes. She seemed to be tired of An Qingxu and Yang Guozhong's mutual praise without much true affection, so she turned back to look at Zhang Xuan and said with a low smile, "Brother Xuan, relax, come, this palace will accompany you to have a drink." β
"Xie Niangniang." Zhang Xuan raised his glass to thank him, and then drank it all.
"Zhang Xuan, I heard that your poetry is outstanding, why don't you chant a poem to praise Yang Xiang's virtue?" An Qingxu suddenly turned his head and beckoned to Zhang Xuan, "If you chant well, you will be floating three white." β
Zhang Xuan frowned, and said in his heart, you just slapped your ass, why did you pull Lao Tzu. However, despite his dissatisfaction, on an occasion like today, especially in front of Yang Guifei, he couldn't say anything.
No matter how much poetry is chanted, there is nothing, but this poem that slaps Yang Guozhong's sycophants can never come from his mouth. If it spreads in the future, he will be tied to this treacherous minister Yang Guozhong, who is destined to be stinking for 10,000 years.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan's expression remained unchanged, and he bowed his hand to Yang Guozhong and said, "Yang Xiang is loyal to the country and shares worries for the emperor, which is a matter of duty and the duty of a minister." If you want to deliberately chant poems and praise, it is not beautiful, and you lose Yang Xiang's demeanor. β
Yang Yuhuan smiled slightly, "Brother Xuan is reasonable. β
Seeing that the concubine said this, Yang Guozhong was stunned, and pretended to say indifferently, "Yes." It is the duty of a minister to work state affairs, so why do you need to sing poems and praise? If after a hundred years, I can be praised as a loyal minister and a good minister in the world, my heart is enough. β
Hearing Yang Guozhong's words, Yang Yuhuan smiled silently, but Zhang Xuan almost laughed in his heart - you Yang Guozhong still want future generations to give you a reputation of loyalty and good looks? Fools talk about dreams, and dreamers are fools!
"Yang Xiang's high wind is bright, and the young general admires. The young general toasted Yang Xiang again. An Qingxu's sycophancy immediately followed.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Seeing that An Qingxu was so disgusting, the disgust in Zhang Xuan's heart grew. He glanced at An Qingxu, his heart moved, and suddenly said loudly, "Niangniang, in fact, if you want to talk about the heroes and good generals in the world, Zhang Xuan thinks that in fact, only the king of Anjun is alone." β
As soon as Zhang Xuan's words came out, not only Yang Yuhuan was stunned, Yang Guozhong frowned and didn't like it, and even An Qingxu, the son of An Lushan, who was praised by him, was also very surprised.
