Chapter Forty-Eight: The Beginning of the Limelight

When Luo Yan arrived at the top floor of the Natural Residence, the time was almost at the end of the hour, and there were already many people sitting in it at this time. When Luo Yan entered, there was a small guy at the door who specially called his name: "Secretary Provincial School Shulang, Luzhou Luo Yan, brilliant in writing, passed the three passes."www.biquge.info For a while, it attracted the attention of people at the top.

In the eyes of many people, Luo Yan represents mystery. Without him, after three months as an official in Chang'an, Luo Yan's reputation is getting bigger and bigger day by day, but there are very few people who have seen Luo Yan's real person. So much so that when it comes to Luzhou Luo Yan, people know that he wrote "The Book of Rights", and his work in writing "On Staying in the Marquis" is no worse than his work in writing poetry. And it is said that he reads hard and writes well. This is the consensus of all.

As for others, such as age, some people say that Luo Yan is in his thirties, some people say that Luo Yan is just a green-headed young man, and some people directly regard Luo Yan as a prodigy. Not to mention the appearance and personality.

When you see a real person at this time, it is inevitable that you will talk more about it in addition to curiosity. So the top floor, which was a little quiet just a moment ago, suddenly became a vegetable market.

"This is Luo Yan, he looks very young."

"Is he really as god as he is legendary? It is said that at a young age, he is already a candidate for a bachelor's degree in the Literature Museum. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, just enter the Literature Museum. I am not qualified to be a bachelor in the Literature Museum, and he is still far behind. ”

"That's pretty remarkable, a few of us didn't even enter the Literature Museum."

"Well, is it really good to tell the truth like that?"

In the process of exchanging words among the people in the guest area, these people in the Qin Wangfu also muttered.

Gai Wenda hurriedly asked Li Xuan: "Brother Li, didn't this Luo Yan's invitation be sent, why can he still pass the assessment before he can come in?" ”

Li Xuandao looked helpless: "I posted it yesterday together with Assistant Teacher Lu's post." It's just that the person who sent the invitation came to report, but Assistant Teacher Lu refused for Luo Yan. ”

Not only was Gai Wenda surprised, but even Yu Zhining, who was sitting next to him, was surprised. Lu Deming is also too bold, if this is not played well, the reputation of his disciples will all be buried here.

"Assistant Teacher Lu is really bold. It's just that I still don't understand, with this little nickname, Luo Yan will be able to look at it? Yu Zhining was referring to the matter of making a name for himself among the scholars through the assessment of the celebration banquet.

"Fame? If only I wanted to make a name for myself. It's just that his master and apprentice really don't need this kind of method to make a name for themselves now, and the real purpose will be known in a moment. Li Xuandao pretended to be profound.

However, he was very successful in pretending to be a god stick this time, and not long after the words fell, Xuan Ling, the secretary of the Qin Palace, came over and asked Gai Wenda: "Brother Gai, is this Luo Yan really as talented as you say?" ”

Fang Xuanling's question caused Gai Wenda's dissatisfaction: "Why does Xuanling have this question. You have already read his article and the "Book of Quan", if you are not talented, how can you be jointly included in the Literature Museum by me and several others. Gai Wenda couldn't help but be angry, Fang Xuanling's words seemed to doubt his vision. In literature, Guy Wenda thinks that he is much better than Fang Xuanling, which inevitably hurts his self-esteem.

Li Xuandao, as the chief secretary of the Qin Palace, naturally wanted to come out to be this peacemaker. "Brother Gai is right, Luo Yan's talent can only be understood if you have contact with him. Brother Xuanling has this question, which is also inevitable. It's just that since we have identified him, it will definitely be able to guarantee that it will live up to its name. ”

Fang Xuanling nodded. He wasn't jealous or anything, it was purely because Luo Yan was so young and famous, and he was afraid that there was something hidden.

Among the forces of the Qin Palace, among the people who went out with Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling was like this, so how would the others react. At this time, Govinda admired Lu Deming's thoughtfulness.

As a scholar who has passed the layers of assessment and entered the third layer tonight, he will inevitably get Li Shimin's attention. At least, to be able to show your face at today's banquet. As guests, they will eat and drink at most, and what happens afterwards will have to wait until tomorrow. This is the reason why Luo Yan was sent by Lu Deming to participate in the assessment.

Soon after Cui Ying sat down like Luo Yan, the two had just chatted a few words, and someone shouted: "King Qin has arrived." ”

said that King Qin arrived, but in fact, there were many people behind him. Including the eldest grandson Wuji brothers and sisters, including Gao Shilian, including Yu Shinan and several other bachelors of the Literature Museum who have not arrived, as well as many military generals. After all, he was a prince, so everyone present stood up to greet him. When Li Shimin sat on the main seat, he said, "Everyone, please take a seat." "Then everyone present sat down.

"Today, we are all here. Although it is said to be a celebration banquet, it is also to catch up with you. Now the country has not yet stabilized, but Shandong has conquered more than ten cities, compared with the whole of Shandong, it is still too far behind. The people of the world have invited you here today just to tell you that we will live up to your expectations and will put down the rebellion. ”

"Today and now, I will offer three glasses of wine. This first cup, I salute the soldiers buried in the battlefield. Without their sacrifices, today's victory would not have been possible. After Li Shimin finished speaking, he slowly sprinkled the wine in the cup eastward to the ground. These people didn't feel it, but those who followed Li Shimin into battle, whether they were ministers or generals, all got up silently, and then picked up the wine glass and scattered the wine in the cup to the east.

"For the second cup, I salute all of you who are with me on the battlefield." Li Shimin picked up the wine poured by the waiter and said to the civil and military people under the seat.

"Your Highness, you can't do it." At this moment, those civil and military officers panicked. No matter how you say it, Li Shimin is toasting as the prince of the Tang Dynasty at this time, and this friendship is simply not too heavy. Of course, it is not excluded that Li Shimin has the idea of winning over people's hearts. However, apparently everyone is quite comfortable with this.

"You have been born and died with the people of the world, and have saved the people of the world from danger many times, and you deserve this wine." After speaking, Li Shimin raised the wine glass again.

These people at the bottom couldn't stand Li Shimin's compliments, and if the wine glass was raised again, the tip of Li Shimin's nose would rise from this height, and the scene would not be even more embarrassing at that time. So, in a thank-you voice, Li Shimin's second cup was also finished.

"For the third cup, I salute all of you. If it weren't for your strong support, the people of the world would not have been able to return triumphantly from this expedition. At this time, Li Shimin completely opened the mode of winning people's hearts, and how to reflect his attitude is how to come.

Of course, other people don't have the qualifications to let Li Shimin persuade him to drink again, and everyone who realized this just said: "His Royal Highness King Xie Qin." Then he raised his glass and drank it all.

After drinking three glasses of wine, Li Shimin ordered: "Have a banquet." ”

For a while, the format dishes that had been prepared long ago were cut off. Luo Yan had eaten everything on the first two occasions, and in addition, there were also delicacies from the mountains and seas such as bear paws, and there was no difference because of his high and low, and he had an attitude of treating everyone equally.

Luo Yan couldn't help but sigh at the luxury of feudal society. After this banquet, I'm afraid I can eat more than 100,000 yuan.

But at this time, it is a bastard not to take advantage of it, Luo Yan has never eaten many of these dishes, and he no longer hesitates at the moment, he picks up chopsticks and eats. Of course, Luo Yan is also particular about eating. Like a bear's paw, he didn't have a chance to taste it in his previous life, so he naturally ate a little more, and as for other roasted whole sheep and the like, Luo Yan resolutely didn't put any chopsticks on it.

These foods are naturally very attractive to people like Luo Yan, but after all, many people under the Qin Wangfu have also eaten with Li Shimin many times, and they put down their chopsticks after tasting some of them. No, at this moment, Li Shimin was listening to Fang Xuanling talk about Luo Yan.

After hearing that Luo Yan didn't use the invitation, but went all the way up, the eldest grandson Wuji, the princess of Qin, was stunned: "What, he didn't bring an invitation?" She knew about the invitation to Luo Yan, so she was shocked.

"It is said that it is the meaning of Assistant Teacher Lu." Fang Xuanling replied simply.

What kind of person is Li Shimin, after Fang Xuanling finished speaking, he already understood Lu Deming's master and apprentice's plan. smiled slightly: "Young man, it's good to be arrogant." In that case, then I will do what he wants. He had read both Luo Yan's Tiao Chen and the Book of Rights, and the impression he had left was also very good, so he was also looking forward to meeting this miraculous young man.

"I heard that some time ago, Liu Wenjing's daughter said that she would serve wine at my celebration banquet, and see if she came." Li Shimin asked.

"Your Royal Highness, dance music was arranged during the banquet, and she was waiting in the side room." There was an answer at the moment.

"Let her not have to prepare for dancing anymore, just prepare for wine with peace of mind. Ordered to go down, tonight there is no wine without poetry, so with the theme of the battle, with poetry to meet friends, the winner can get a glass of wine from Liu Wenjing's daughter. ”

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but praise Li Shimin's arrangement. It is rumored that this Luo Yan likes Liu Qingyu. Li Shimin's move was to force Luo Yan to do his best to show himself.

At that moment, an attendant arrived among the guests, loudly conveying Li Shimin's order.

The first wave of the banquet was set off. Of course, everyone came tonight for Li Shimin's face, but at this time, there was actually a Liu family who could make the famous Chang'an serve wine, which was excellent. I remember that last time Liu said that he wanted to serve wine, he was mixed up by Luo Yan, and in the end, it was gone. This time, both parties came, and it was even more lively.

At that moment, some people turned their attention to Luo Yan, and the field was extremely lively. People are very much looking forward to Luo Yan's performance this time, whether he wants to be slapped in the face or slapped in the face.

Luo Yan's battle poem was also heard by some people present. After all, the matter of buying a wall of drunken immortal residence for hundreds of taels of silver in the Qin Wangfu spread all over Chang'an. And because of this, it caused an earthquake in the officialdom, and at the same time that Luo Yan's murderous name was spread, his poem also spread.

However, if a good poem can be written, it does not mean that a second poem can be written, so Luo Yan was also worried when he was expecting it.
