Chapter 9 Good Wind Strength

Li Fu was not the first student to enter the second level, but now he is the first to enter the last curtain.

In front of the lanterns, many students are still thinking about the riddle on the lanterns. Seeing Li Fu lift the second curtain and step in, his face was shocked.

"Where is this student?! Got to the final hurdle so soon? ”

"This person should not be a student of the Eastern Capital, and the Eastern Capital is nothing more than those people, and I have never heard of this person."

"I couldn't answer the two sticks of incense right here, but he completed the eight puzzles in such a short time, it's really more human than human, and it's infuriating!"

The students who noticed Li Fu around couldn't help but discuss. It's not that this Chaoyang Hall is good at guessing lantern riddles, and there are a few powerful ones, although they are not as powerful as a bamboo, but they have all guessed six or seven sides correctly. But it's not like Li Fu, who walks into the last try.

Li Fu ignored this, lifted the third curtain, and three doors appeared in front of him. I also did not see the Confucian students in the student prison.

"Could it be that I passed the level too quickly?"

Li Fu looked at the empty hall in front of him and muttered.

The Lantern Festival exam is a major event in the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible for students to make such a mistake. This level should be in the mystery. However, there was only one table with pen and ink in the three doors in front of him, and nothing else.

Just when Li Fu was puzzled, a great Confucian walked out of the side door. Holding a roll of yellow silk in his hand.

"You're Li Fu?"

Da Ru glanced at Li Fu's waist card and asked.

"It's the students." Li Fu bowed and said.

"Come in with me."

Daru waved his hand and walked to the room in the middle.

"If you can get this far, then there will be your name in the top ten of the first list in this year's Lantern Festival exam, but the specific ranking is at most Dazai-sama. This is the exam question, you can leave the Chaoyang Hall after writing it, and wait for the list to be released. Da Ru put down the yellow silk in his hand, and then walked out of the room and closed the door.

"Hit the building and drink the wine, and the sword song is easy to water. After Prince Yan, Tie to Dongduer"

"This!" Li Fu opened the yellow silk and saw the content on it clearly, and his face changed in shock!

This poem is too familiar to Li Fu!

This is the poem hanging in the thatched cottage of Daoxiang Village! Since Li Fu's memory, it has been hanging in the grass hall for more than ten years. When Li Fu was a young learner, he once asked the master about the content of this poem, but the master told Li Fu that it was a remnant poem and had not been finished. And now it's the final test question of the Lantern Festival!

But the night before Li Fu's departure, the master took off the dusty volume of verses and put a pen on it to fill in four lines. Then, breathe a sigh of relief. For more than ten years, it was the first time that Li Fu had seen his master with such a sad expression.

"Master, who are you?" Li Fu looked up in the direction of the south, which was the location of Daoxiang Village. The original words in the master's letter last night were: "After the Lantern Festival test, someone will take you into the temple, see the toaster, and hand over the "National Policy" to you." And don't mention it as a teacher, if the toast insists on asking, tell the toast adult: a hundred flowers are over, and the green lotus blooms alone. ”

It is not difficult to see from the content of the letter that the master and the toast are acquainted, and the master is not from Liangzhou. Not only that, but the master also asked Li Fu to be careful with the official family in the letter..............

"The young man is brave and fierce. When the wind is long, the east looks at each other. ”

There are four more lines of poetry on the yellow silk, which the master wrote on the paper the night before Li Fu's departure.

Although Li Fu didn't know the master's intention to let him come to the Eastern Capital, it must be related to his own life experience, and it is even very likely that Li Fu has a great relationship with a certain big man in the Eastern Capital. And the bigwigs who can make the Eastern Capital notice themselves can only become famous in the Eastern Capital now only by trying to win the ranking in the Lantern Festival. Although the master never said it, Li Fu has followed the master since he was a child, and there are some things, needless to say, Li Fu also knows the master's intentions.

However, in a short period of time, a yellow silk with fresh ink appeared in a large hall on the east side of the Taiji Palace. A dim candle flame flickered on the altar in the center of the temple, and a gust of wind poured in with the open door of the temple. Many candles on the altar were extinguished, and a middle-aged man in a brocade robe stood respectfully in front of the altar. An old man sat on the futon, with a white silk scarf tied around his sparse white hair. Dressed in a plain Confucian costume,.

"I've seen the teacher."

The middle-aged man bowed down and bowed respectfully to the old man.

"Sit down."

The old man said indifferently, still closing his eyes.

The middle-aged man glanced at the futon under him, hesitated, and sat down behind the old man.

"Still won't let it go?"

Just when the middle-aged man sat down, the old man opened his eyes, and although his tone was flat, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate into the depths of people's hearts.

"Teacher, got it?" The middle-aged man was surprised.

"Today is the Lantern Festival, you don't stay in the Chaoyang Palace, but come to my temple. There must be news of him," the old man stood up, and his withered hands slowly lit the blown candle one by one. The flickering candle flame could not fully illuminate the main hall, but the old man insisted on lighting all the candles.

"Teacher Mingjian, senior brother, his temperament still needs to be more free and easy after all. Moreover, he has a deep relationship with King Yan. Besides, you also know the inside story of what happened back then, teacher. ”

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment and spoke.

"Idiot, idiot! Say, how is the kid doing now? ”

After a moment, the old man said lightly.

When the middle-aged man heard this, he did not speak immediately, but respectfully handed over the yellow silk with fresh ink in his hand.

Then he said, "Teacher." You see. ”

The old man stood up, looked at the poems on the yellow silk, and was silent.

"Du Zhi, do you know why your senior brother had to win the first place in the Lantern Festival exam before he was willing to give up?"

Du Zhi is the name of Dazai, one of the three princes today, and the middle-aged man in front of him is the current Dazai of Datang!

Dazai was slightly stunned, but he still replied: "Senior Brother's talent is far inferior to both the disciples and the students in the world back then. So the senior brother's double kui is well deserved. ”

The old man clasped his hands in his sleeves. looked at Taizong, raised his head slightly, and said: "What you said is right, that kid is indeed talented, I'm afraid even the eldest grandson and Lord Wei can't match it back then." There's one thing you forgot about ........., though."

"Please teach me."

"He is too obsessed, and he always thinks that he can count the last resort, but how can there be so many things in the world that are exhaustive. The king's ruthlessness is something that can be said by one or two generations."

When Dazai heard this, his heart was shocked.

"Go ahead, go and see how far your senior brother has raised that child." The old man sighed and slowly closed his eyes. Continue to sit cross-legged on the futon.

Li Fu walked out of the Chaoyang Palace, and the noon sun was sprinkled on Li Fu's face, and the comfortable warmth flowed all over his body along the true yuan in the meridians. It seems that the cold wind of this winter day has become much warmer. Looking at the familiar figure under the corridor in the distance, Li Fu walked over.
