Seeing that Li Zhen had finally returned to the hall, Wei Zhongyi gently pulled down Wang Yun's sleeve with his hand, and Wang Yun smiled when he saw this: "Virtuous nephew! Be calm so that you can think things better. But in my heart I thought: young people just can't hold their breath. Shook his head.

Wei Zhongyi raised his wine glass and said to Wang Yun: "The little nephew has been taught, but I don't know what my uncle is going to do?" ”

Wang Yun stroked his beard and smiled: "What is he best at?" Let's start from this aspect, in front of these dignitaries, if he can't do what he is best at, how can he stay in Luoyang tomorrow, hehe. ”

Wei Zhongyi looked at Wang Yun's appearance and pouted, he thought the same way in Luoshui at that time, but then he didn't lose face, but seeing Wang Yun's confident appearance, it was not easy to say any more, so he could only wait for Wang Yun to make a move, and then he would see.

After the singer finished playing the tune, Wang Yun stood up and said: "It's rare to get together in Brother Cai's mansion today, this song and dance has just been appreciated, and now the people sitting are either literary masters, or pillars of the imperial court, as well as the descendants who have been famous, why don't we chant poems and help the wine, maybe we can find a few useful talents, and recommend them to the court in the future, so that they can make a difference." ”

Cai Yong and others also felt that Wang Yun's proposal was good, which could not only help the wine, give the juniors some opportunities, discover talents, but also recommend them to the imperial court, which really killed two birds with one stone.

Cai Yong stroked his beard and said: "Hehe, yes, the wine banquet is naturally indispensable for poetry and lyrics, but I don't know that handsome man came to compose a poem to help the wine rejuvenate." After speaking, he looked at Li Zhen with a glimmer.

When the young Junjie heard it, they all wanted to show their literary talents, if they could be appreciated by their predecessors, they would be able to fight for a career or gain some fame.

There is no first in this article, there is no second in martial arts, most people hold back their excitement, wait for those who have been famous for a long time to go first, and have more time to think about it, and then they will step on these scholars who have been famous for a long time and have a blockbuster.

As the saying goes: a shot shoots a bird in the head. The first one to stand up and do a good job is just to create a good atmosphere and let everyone remember him. If you don't do it well, it will be self-defeating, it will ruin the atmosphere, and it will be remembered, but it will not be a good reputation.

Although most of them chose to wait and see, some people still couldn't hold their confidence, and saw a thin literati stand up and say: "There are many high-level talents today, and we are only shallow in learning, so we shouldn't be ugly, but I still don't want to miss this opportunity, and I hope to let you give me some advice." ”

The atmosphere of literati exchange was very important, and although the people did not listen to his poems, they still applauded them vigorously.

The thin literati: "I am a native of Hedong, Shangjia Xiayi, and now I borrow the light of Cai's family to compose a poem. In the world of life, suddenly like a traveler. Fighting wine and entertainment, chatting is not guaranteed. Drive the horse, the game is like Luo. Luozhong He is depressed, and the crown belt is self-suo. Changqu Luo Jia Lane, the prince's mansion. The two palaces are shaking their heels, and they are more than 100 feet away. Extremely entertaining, why should relatives be compelled? "Okay, okay." Everyone applauded, and even a few Confucians nodded when they heard it. Fortunately, all the people here are educated by literature, and if the powerful people heard it, they wouldn't jump up and scold him.

There are two if there is one, and there are three when there are two, as if they were watching the lights, pushing the atmosphere of the banquet into a climax, and also making many talented people show their faces. Cai Yong watched Li Zhen sitting at his table, either drinking alone or applauding with others, without the intention of getting up, he was very anxious, he admired this young man very much, wanted to hear his masterpieces, and personally recommended them to the emperor when the time came, and he hated to pull him up in person and let him recite a poem.

Wang Yun looked at Li Zhen unmoved, and he didn't have a chance to embarrass him, so he stood up and said: "What everyone did just now is all good works, but there is still a high-ranking talent, and he didn't come out to show his demeanor. ”

After speaking, Wang Yun stared at Li Zhen, and everyone looked at Li Zhen with Wang Yun's gaze. Li Zhen didn't seem to hear what Wang Yun said, and he was still drinking by himself.

When the crowd saw it, they all started talking and said, "Who is this man?" Why did Lord Wang personally invite him, but he was unmoved! "Hey, you don't know, I'll tell you ~~~~~."

Wang Yun looked at Li Zhen's appearance and smoked angrily, Cai Yong looked at Wang Yun and thought, "Why are you going to recruit him and provoke him?" ”

Zhou Cang tapped Li Zhen, Li Zhen turned his head and said, "What's the matter, you have something." The expression was innocent, inexplicable, making people look as if he didn't know what was going on, Zhou Cang lowered his head and shook it.

Wang Yun stood in the center and said, "Li Zhen, a genius from the Northland, we can wait for your masterpiece." ”

Li Zhen looked at Wang Yun as if he didn't understand, and said, "When did I say that I was going to compose a poem?" ”

Wang Yun said: "We are all waiting here and there now." ”

Li Zhen said: "I haven't thought about it, I won't be inspired today, there are so many talented people, Li Zhen won't be ugly." ”

Li Zhen actually heard what Wang Yun said a long time ago, but he didn't want to go up, he had already spent money to buy officials, and he didn't need the recommendation of these people, and Wang Yun was letting himself compose poems, and he was clearly looking for an opportunity to make things difficult for himself. He said that if he wants to compose poetry, he will compose poetry, what should he do? So when they don't hear, ignore him.

Seeing this, Wang Yun didn't intend to let him go, and continued: "I have heard of this famous genius in the north for a long time, and I have long wanted to see the style, why are you really uninspired, or look down on me, you are not worthy of letting you write a poem." ”

As soon as Li Zhen heard Wang Yun's words, he pushed himself to everyone as hostile, stood up, and said in his heart: Whoever is afraid of whom, isn't it just poetry.

Wang Yun was overjoyed when he saw Li Zhen standing up, and said, "It's not easy to invite a talented man from the north!" You are famous all over the world, this poem is old and decayed, let's make a question! It is not difficult for you to take ten steps, and the names of the wine and the noble people who are seated, and the names of two of them should appear in the verses. ”

When everyone heard it, this is not difficult, it is limited to ten steps, and the names of two people in the lobby appear in the poem, which is a poem, which is obviously difficult.

Wei Zhongyi heard Wang Yun say this, and thought: Jiang is still old and spicy! There is still a time limit for this, if this is not done well, not only will Li Zhen lose face, but at the same time, he will offend the people who appear in the poem and become hostile to him. Immediately stood up and walked to Li Zhen's side and said, "Yes! This question shouldn't be too difficult for you, but if you can't do it, you're afraid, so you'd better get back to your own position, don't be embarrassed and conspicuous here. ”

When the people in this hall heard Wei Zhongyi say this, no one stood up and said a word, after all, there is a family, a cold family, one in the sky, and one on the earth, who is willing to offend the family for him.

Zhou Cang clenched his fists tightly, looking at Li Zhen and hoping that he could do it, although this question was too difficult, he still believed that Gongzi could do it. On this occasion, he still took it lightly, and he didn't want to trouble Li Zhen, so he made up his mind that next time he would definitely find an opportunity to beat Wei Zhongyi violently, and he would come out with a pig's head.

Cai Yong wanted to stand up and speak for Li Zhen, so Wang Yun came to him first and said, "Don't my friends often tell us that they appreciate Li Zhen?" It's not easy to have the opportunity to hear his masterpieces with your own ears today! Friends and relieved, let's have a drink. "Alas!" Cai Yong was held by Wang Yun, and he sat helplessly on the seat, but he didn't raise a glass to drink with Wang Yun, and said in his heart: "I don't have many friends!" I'm sorry! ”

Li Zhen thought with a dark face: Okay, good, good, I don't provoke you, children of the family, you just came to embarrass me, thinking that I am afraid of you, since you sent your face to me to beat, today I will beat your face to the ground.

Li Zhen said to Wei Zhongyi beside him: "I remember the Luoshui Poetry Club, I wrote your question, and you haven't made an appointment yet!" "You." Wei Zhongyi heard Li Zhen talk about that incident, and his anger came, that incident was an indelible pain in his life, and he couldn't forget it if he wanted to, and now when he saw Li Zhen mention it, he couldn't turn around and leave.

"Okay, let's not talk about that matter for the time being, how about we bet against each other again today?" Li Zhen spoke majestically to Wei Zhongyi.

Wei Zhongyi has been taught this, but he doesn't want to dance again, he wants to refuse, it can be seen that the people in the hall are looking at him, this is the taste of riding a tiger, he tastes it silently, wants to make things difficult for others, but he embarrass himself.

Wei Zhongyi shouted: "Okay, I promise, if you can't write a good poem in ten steps, you will leave Luoyang overnight immediately, and I will never see you again in the future." ”

Li Zhen saw that Wei Zhongyi had jumped into the pit, he was overjoyed, pretending to be embarrassed, and then thought about it before saying: "Okay, if I can't do it, I'll leave Luoyang immediately, but if I do, I don't need you to leave Luoyang, as long as you see me in the future and stay away from me, how dare you?" ”

Wei Zhongyi didn't talk nonsense, he stretched out his palm directly, Li Zhen also opened his hand when he saw this, and the two of them clapped their hands three times, and the bet was effective at this time.

There was silence in the hall, and they all looked at the two of them without making a sound, if anyone loses this bet, so many literary masters or dignitaries look at this, but they really can't stay in Luoyang in the future.

Li Zhen took five steps, with a smile on his face, picked up the wine jar and took a sip, and said loudly: "You don't see, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns." You don't see it, Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk! Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. , the daughter is scattered and comes back. Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for pleasure will require 300 cups of drink. Cai Bojiao, Zhou Yuanfu, will enter the wine, and the cup will not stop. After saying this, Li Zhen shook his body and came to Cai Yong's table, clinking glasses with the wine jar, Cai Yong heard Li Zhennian's poem, the weather was extraordinary, wild and indulgent, and he was also very happy, picked up the table and drank with Li Zhen, you have seen Cai Yong drink so disrespectfully, but thinking of Li Zhennian's poem, I can't wait to drink with Li Zhen at this time.

Li Zhen and Cai Yong each drank a jar, Li Zhen didn't look at the table in front of him and picked up a jar of wine, shook his body and came to Zhou Cang, Zhou Cang saw Li Zhen coming here, and he didn't make a sound, he picked up a jar of wine and drank a jar with Li Zhen. "Haha, haha, the bells and drums are not expensive enough, I hope I won't wake up after a long drunk. The ancient sages were all lonely, and only the drinker left his name. In the past, King Zhuang feasted on Wu Ju, and fought wine for ten thousand years. What is the owner's words, he has to sell the right gentleman. Five-flowered horses, daughters and furs, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and sell eternal sorrow with you! ”

There was no sound in the hall at the moment, Li Zhen picked up the wine jar in front of the table again and said: "Will enter the wine, don't stop the glass, and sell the eternal sorrow with you, you guys." ”

When Li Zhen just recited the poem, everyone hated that they could not clink glasses with Li Zhen, even if they were drunk, they would be mistaken, and now Li Zhen invited them to join them, so they also took a small cup and changed the altar directly.

The people in the hall, including high-ranking officials and nobles, and literary masters, all drank indulgently, leaving only Wang Yun and Wei Zhongyi to watch, and no one paid attention to them. Seeing this, Wei Zhongyi was burned with anger, and ran out with his sleeves flicked up, and when Wang Yun saw Wei Zhongyi going out, he also said with a face: "Virtuous nephew, where are you going?" Wait for me. ”

After drinking, Li Zhen took a full distance and said to Cai Yong: "Today's incident is Li Zhen's fault, and I will make amends to the teacher again that day, and Li Zhen drank too much today, so I will leave first." He saluted and said, "Li Zhen is not strong enough to drink, so he retired first and took his leave." ”
