Chapter 382: The Qionglin Banquet shook Chang'an

The fact that Luo Yan was promoted to Dr. Guozi did not cause much turmoil in Shilin. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, the results of the previous scientific examination should have shocked people too much, so that they didn't pay attention to this kind of half-year promotion at all. However, Guozixue expressed great joy about this, after all, Guozixue is the biggest winner in this scientific examination, and the capital of the two lists is from Guozixue. Among the fifty people, more than a dozen are from Guozixue. This has never happened since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

As the protagonist, Luo Yan doesn't have any feelings about promotion. It's just that the grievances that have been suppressed in my heart for months have finally turned into a trace of joy at this moment. Since then, he has finally been able to gain a foothold in Shilin, instead of relying on Lu Deming's shadow. The first step has been taken.

But whether it is the celebration of Guozixue or the joy of Luo Yan, it is not as good as the upcoming Qionglin banquet.

On the second day after the release of the list, Li Shimin felt that the suggestions of the current science scholars were meritorious, so he decreed that when he was resting five days later, he would have a banquet for the current science and technology scholars in the Qionglin Hall of the Taiji Palace. At that time, there will be officials from the Ministry of Officials to accompany you, and at the same time, well-known Confucian students from Chang'an Shilin will be invited to participate. As soon as the news came out, Shilin was excited. This is exactly the information that Li Shimin attaches more and more importance to Shilin, if he can be invited by Li Shimin, I am afraid that he will be able to be recruited by the Ministry of Officials in the near future. This is a great opportunity to get started.

As soon as the edict appeared, the Ministry of Rites sent invitations the next day.

What makes people more and more interested is that this time Liu Chang and several old Confucians are among the invitees. However, Li Shimin has not forgotten Luo Yan, the great hero behind this scientific expedition. Luo Yan, as one of the few people who directly announced that Li Shimin had to participate, made people suddenly feel that Li Shimin was going to do something.

Liu Chang is not a good old man. After so many years of Confucianism and Taoism, many opponents have naturally been established. Originally, it was enough for him to be slapped in the face by Luo Yan this time to make these people laugh, but now Li Shimin actually asked Luo Yan to meet with Liu Chang and others in Qionglin Palace. What an embarrassment it is. Many people want to see where Liu Chang's old face will be put this time.

Luo Yan has never been a good stubble, and when he received the invitation letter from the Ministry of Rites, he immediately laughed. Changle was tasting the dessert that Luo Yan made for her beside him, and when she heard the laughter that had already come out loud, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Luo Yan, you laugh so strangely." Isn't there any bad idea again? This laughter is very similar to the sound Luo Yan made when he was about to do something bad.

Seeing Changle's coquettish face, Luo Yan moved the stool to Changle's side, took her in his arms, and said a little uncontrollably: "Your father, this time the Qionglin banquet actually pulled me and Liu Chang's old Confucians together. Do you think you want to watch a play? ”

Changle glanced at him: "You arrange your father like this, be careful that I go back to the palace to complain." ”

There have been many such jokes between husband and wife, and this kind of innocuous joke is disrespectful to others, but here in Luo Yan, Li Shimin can always give the greatest tolerance. So Luo Yan was not nervous, but scratched Changle's armpit like a mischief: "Those who complain are not good children." It wasn't until Changle begged for mercy again and again that he let it go.

After half a day of harmonious life, Luo Yan began to think about what kind of attitude he should have towards Liu Chang and a few old Confucians at this Qionglin banquet.

But in four days, in the blink of an eye, it came in the limelight. Although the Qionglin Hall is in the outer palace, it is not for idle officials and ordinary people to enter. But this did not prevent them from waiting outside the palace gate to watch the enthusiasm of the scholars being invited in.

"Look, that's the thirtieth place in Jinshike. It is said that although this person is at the bottom, his talent is really not low. At the Spring Festival Banquet in March, this person is said to have won the first prize. was originally optimistic, and Jinke will definitely be able to win the top four in Jinshike, who would have thought that this year's talents will come out in large numbers, and Shengsheng will be pressed to the end. "The Spring Banquet is a banquet organized by Chang'an Shilin, as the name suggests, it is to send spring to welcome summer.

The standard of this banquet is really not low, every year there is a great Confucian personally presiding, and the invited are young heroes in recent years, and ordinary people are not qualified to participate at all. As you can imagine, it is definitely not a simple matter to be able to come out on top at such a banquet.

I had just finished praising this, and when I saw the scholar coming next, I was even more amazed. "This is the fourth of the Ming Classics. If it weren't for the three consecutive years of talent and not being ranked first, I wouldn't have gone to the examination of economics. Originally, they were unanimously optimistic that he would be the top of the list. Alas, it's a pity. ”

If it's really a skinny camel bigger than a horse, even if the person who shows talent is not the first, he will not be ridiculed at all. In the past ten years of scientific examinations, I haven't even made up enough hands of a pair of hands, which shows the difficulty of showing talents. It's a pity that this one, who originally jumped to the Ming Classics Department, if it was in his year, he would definitely be able to get the title of Zhu Pen. But this year, Luo Yan personally taught so many students, it is quite powerful to be able to get the fourth.

Forty-two people walked by, and every time they came, people let out a burst of exclamation and cheers.

However, the big drama has not yet begun. At this time, the first three of the Jinshi Branch and the Ming Jing Department did not come very tacitly. Just like on the red carpet, the big names are always the last to arrive. Otherwise, if you come early, those little coffee will sweep the tail, which is no different from eating ashes.

But the six didn't keep people waiting.

Someone in the distance shouted, "It's coming, it's coming." ”

But these people who were close to the palace gate naturally had no way to see who was coming, so they could only ask eagerly: "Who is here, tell me quickly." Although he knew that those people could not pay attention to their own questions, he still did not give up, but asked more urgently.

The comer didn't make them wait long, but in half a moment, six figures appeared in front of them. True, not one, but six. Whether it is Jinshi or Mingjing, there is no difference at the level of the top three this year. If you have to say what to rank according to, then in addition to Li Shimin's subjective preferences, it is estimated that there is only a difference in the quality of the handwriting.

With Li Shimin's penchant for calligraphy, he doesn't have to think about it to know that the ranking will have such an impact.

Of these six people, five were taught by Luo Yan. With this relationship, there will be no priority. Several people walked over with laughter and talking, and only one Song Shiyu stood in the middle of several people very embarrassed. If it weren't for the fact that several of them were classmates of Guozixue, I am afraid that until now, he would never have said a word. You must know that in the eyes of outsiders, he represents Liu Chang's vein.

The taste of being represented is indeed quite unpleasant, and after being represented, you will be slapped in the face.

Although people were surprised why Song Shiyu was still able to talk and laugh with a few other people, since these six people came together, then don't delve into it so much, just cheer. As a result, a burst of brainless cheers suddenly erupted in front of the palace gate, which shocked Chang'an City.

After the scholars had entered, the next was the invited Confucianism and officials. Different from the number of Jinshi who already know, the invitations sent by the Ministry of Rites are not known to ordinary people. Although Liu Chang, who paid special attention to Liu Chang and Luo Yan, were all invited, whether these people would be present or not had to be said separately. No, that's what I'm here for today.

Such a grand event, naturally Confucianism gathered. Yao Silian and Kong Yingda will naturally not be missed in Guozixue, and several doctors are also together. This year's Guozixue's results are simply so good that they are bursting, so they all have smiles on their faces. Seeing passers-by cheering, he was not rigid, but greeted him very cordially. The people who cheered wondered for a while, when did the masters of Guozixue become so close to the people.

But what made them extremely excited was that among these people, Luo Yan was among them. Thinking about it, Luo Yan is also a courtier after all, and he is also Li Shimin's son-in-law. is still the biggest winner of today's scientific examination, if he doesn't come, it will make people think evil. But Luo Yan is here, so what about Liu Chang and them? This has filled the people with anticipation. So even if the biggest officials in the DPRK and Du Ruhui came, people's enthusiasm was not as high as Fang Cai.

Maybe many people are chattering: "Liu Chang, Liu Chang, where are you?" ”

Fang Du, who is popular everywhere he goes on weekdays, is estimated to be the first time since Zhenguan Jianyuan has been given a cold reception today. But also, who was given it, who was in the mood to walk the carpet of celebrities into the crowd, but found that people had no sense of expectation for their arrival at all, which made them embarrassed.

After the two walked in, a lot of Chang'an celebrities came one after another. However, there is still no figure of Liu Chang and others. Could it be that Liu Chang and a few people really caught a big disapproval in the world and didn't participate in this Qionglin banquet? I really can't do that. The Qionglin Banquet represents the grand event of scientific research and is a good thing for the world's scholars. If they don't come, Li Shimin's upset will still be a trivial matter, and the prestige in the hearts of the world's scholars will fall sharply.

Just as the Qionglin banquet was about to start, a voice finally broke out from afar: "Coming, coming." ”

In front of the palace gate, which was still silent, the voice was immediately not inferior to the previous cheers for the top three of the two lists. And although Liu Chang and the others were riding in the carriage at this time, the sound on the side of the road still made their faces ugly.

These old Confucians, they have always been respectful everywhere they go, and they are watched like monkeys like today. Liu Chang snorted coldly, and his face became more and more gloomy.

The atmosphere in the carriage was a little solemn, and after a long time, an old Confucian said: "Forget it, Brother Liu, don't meet those rural villagers." Besides, scientific research is not the right way to study after all. Why bother with this. In my opinion, let's go in today and recuperate. I don't believe that these many disciples I am waiting for in Huan Hai can't explain anything. ”

The voice that spoke was straightforward, but in fact, his heart was also helpless. It's false to say that they don't regret it, they were completely pulled off the boat by Liu Chang. (To be continued.) )
