Han Yang's face turned pale in an instant.

Others haven't felt it yet, but he feels it clearly. Shen Yun's sentence "If I don't speak first in spring, which insect dares to make a sound", it was aimed at him.

I have always thought very highly of myself, but now I am secretly scolded as a worm, and the shame in my heart is higher than a while. It's not easy to say it. This really wants to be shouted, and the jinshi who didn't understand it would immediately understand, but Shen Yun could deny it indifferently. In the end, it was himself who was humiliated.

Disgrace is relative.

It is more humiliating to be humiliated and lose than to lose.

Han Yang's face was gloomy, he arched his hand at Shen Yun, and without saying a word, he left the banquet directly and walked towards the outside of Qionglin Garden.

The fierce exchange lasted only two rounds before it was over. Everyone's impression of Shen Yun was another layer deeper. Those Jinshi below the first class regarded Shen Yun as a person who could not be easily provoked at this time. At least, without absolute strength and backing, this kind of person cannot be easily provoked.

And Zhao Wenqing, the three people who have been with Shen Yun for a longer time, still can't stop the shock in his heart when he sees Shen Yun walking back.

After Shen Yun sat down, Zhao Wenqing asked with a little curiosity: "Why is Brother Shen so strong today, you usually have a general attitude towards Han Yang, but why are you ...... today?"

When he said this, he stopped, but Shen Yun understood the meaning. For these friends, Shen Yun did not hide it: "If he just talks about me, then I can really bear it." But today he talked too much, and even involved the examiners of this subject. Think about it, if it spreads, with the intricate power of the court today, I don't know what waves it will set off. ”

Shen Yun's explanation surprised several people in the audience.

"I suppressed him so forcefully, and it just shifted the focus of this argument to me. Others saw that I was a little carried away, and Han Yang's previous words would be subconsciously negligent. By the time they remembered it again, the turmoil had already passed. ”

Shen Yun was not a saint, and he didn't want to leave Han Yang with any way to live. But if the scientific expedition causes any more trouble because of this guy, they may not be able to say what twists and turns will occur in the future. In order to be able to smoothly and smoothly be sent away from the court, Shen Yun can only be a complete villain.

Shen Yun was really thoughtful. I thought it was Han Yang who provoked you five times before, and I was finally annoyed. Ying Qian smiled and drank the wine indifferently. Regarding Shen Yun's changes, he didn't pay attention to them at all.

Zhao Wenqing was a little afraid: "I'm afraid that Shen Yunzhong will become a different person after the move, and I can't wait for this friend to do it." In this way, I feel a lot more at ease. Brother Shen is still the Brother Shen I know, so I don't have to worry about offending my words in the future. ”

The remark caused several people to burst into laughter. At this time, because Shen Yun showed his talents, several people began to come to make friends. For a while, the table of seven people suddenly became small.

The Qionglin banquet once again fell into a harmonious atmosphere, and from time to time, a musician from the Taile Department came over to play the music in the palace for the Jinshi. After the feast, many servants hurriedly cleaned up the mess, re-put on a lot of dried fruit snacks, and the wine jugs were all full.

Shen Yun and Zhao Wenqing also lost interest in continuing to sit, took a pot of wine, got up and walked to the garden. The flowers that bloom in the south are always a new thing, even if Shen Yun is well-informed, he still looks at it with interest.

One day, after the Qionglin feast, the jinshi returned to their residences.

At this time, Zhao Ji, the young emperor, was sitting on the soft couch of the Tianzhang Palace, listening to the situation of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites returning to the Qionglin banquet.

The first thing to take out was naturally the thanksgiving poem written by Ye Zuqia. For this kind of thing, the young emperor was always full of joy. After all, everyone likes others to praise themselves, especially the emperor. And Ye Zuqia is also a master of touting, and a few poems made Zhao Ji have a gratifying smile on his face.

Of course, if Shen Yun is allowed to see it, he will definitely find that there is no poem written by him here.

Ye Zuqia is not stupid, as the welfare of the champion, how can he easily give it away.

After reading this, Zhao Ji asked with great interest: "What interesting things happened at today's Qionglin Banquet?" ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites smiled: "Your Majesty, there is really an interesting thing that happened. It's just that after all, it's a bit rude, and the minister is still hesitant to say it. "I don't know what I mean. Zhao Ji's curiosity was successfully aroused, and his body moved outward, making a gesture close to the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

"Tell me what to say."

"Back to Your Majesty, in today's banquet, Han Yang, the ninth Jinshi of Chengji County, Qinzhou, the ninth place in the second class, and Shen Yun, the fourth Jinshi of the same county in the first class, were above him, and proposed a competition. I didn't want to compete in poetry twice in a row, but I was blocked by Shen Yun and never made a sentence. Eventually, he went away. "Although the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is also an old party, he really doesn't have a good impression of Han Yang, a young man.

At the beginning, this kid stirred up trouble in Beijing and offended many people, and there were also disagreements between the old party, and they were not monolithic. He and Cheng Hao have no friendship, so naturally they will not have any scruples at this time.

"And such a thing?" Zhao Ji said interestingly: "I have also heard of Han Yang's reputation. After all, young people have some situations, when they were in Beijing, they liked to compete with others everywhere to try articles, and they didn't want to go back more and more now, and they also competed in poetry. That young man seems to be a disciple who supervises the journey in the imperial history, Cheng Hao seems to be a stable person, and his knowledge is not bad, but this professor disciple is really a little unbearable. ”

In fact, Cheng Hao's disciple's skills are still good, but a grain of rat feces can spoil a pot of soup, and he also knows Han Yang's actions, and he has trained them seriously. But the nature of the country is easy to change, and the teenager in his early twenties is when he is young and vigorous, where can he be cleaned up after a few times of discipline.

Cheng Hao didn't know that he silently carried the black cauldron for his disciple.

However, this is no longer important, because Zhao Ji's attention finally shifted from this to Shen Yun.

"Tell me, what kind of poems did Shen Yun make, which made this Han Yang lose his fighting spirit."

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites took out two pages of paper from his sleeve, bowed down to serve them, and the attendant took them and sent them to Zhao Ji.

"Well, it turns out that the first one is also a thanksgiving poem. Well, it's good, but it's a little worse than Ye Zuqia's. Can't Han Yang even write such a poem? ”

It's not that he can't write it, but the moment the topic comes out, Shen Yun reads the poem. Han Yang's temperament was already a little out of the box, so he shouted that Shen Yun had already had a draft. So this one doesn't count. The waiter of the Ministry of Rites smiled bitterly and roughly explained the situation of this competition, but Zhao Ji understood Han Yang's mood, so he didn't criticize him too harshly.

And when he saw the second poem, he couldn't help but admire: "This poem is written with some momentum. Unexpectedly, Shen Yun's appearance was mediocre, but the hills and valleys in his chest were not low. It's a good sentence 'If I don't speak first in spring, which insect dares to make a sound'. This kind of courage is something that some people in the DPRK and China have wasted their time for decades, but I am afraid that they will not have it. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Ji still thought of the old ministers of the old party who had been sparse over and over again these days. Seriously, he was a little annoyed in his heart.

And when it comes to the New Deal and Shen Yun, Zhao Ji can't help but think of Shen Yun's palace examination article that day. With Wang Anshi on his back, he read it several times in private. Although the determination of the New Deal has become more and more firm, he is still a little cautious about some of the recent actions of the New Party.

"It's just that it's all a battle of young people's wills, so it's up to them to go." Waving his hand and letting the waiter of the Ministry of Rites leave, Zhao Ji instructed the lieutenant: "By the way, early tomorrow morning, you will send someone to find Shen Yun and ask him to write a note about the new policy." Tell him not to worry about anything, write whatever you think in your heart. I will not blame him for this. ”

But after thinking about it, he changed his words: "Forget it, you just let someone bring him in." Tomorrow, the prince will rest, and I will see him in Shengping Building. ”

The sudden visit of the palace guards made Shen Yun a little stunned. However, when the somewhat vicious-looking Forbidden Army Captain leaned in and whispered a few words, Shen Yun suddenly felt a little pressured. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ji would send someone to pick him up into the palace, and he would see him in Shengping Tower. This kind of excitement can only be compared when I learned that I had won the first and fourth grades.

Whether Shen Yun has servility in his bones or not, this Shen Yun is not easy to say.

But for Zhao Ji, Shen Yun did treat him as a big man. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that no matter what era it is, classes exist. Even in later generations, those who curse people all day long and are servile are full of hierarchical thinking in their bones.

Shen Yun put on his official uniform and was hurriedly carried to Xihuamen by a carriage. After entering, it is not necessary to connect all the way, and directly come to the Shengping Building.

The name of the building takes the meaning of the four seas to level up, but the structure does not have the meaning of leveling. The eaves are pecked high, the beams are carved and painted, if it weren't for the urging of the inner servant, Shen Yun really wanted to take a good look at how exquisite the high-rise buildings of this palace were.

Entering the building, Zhao Ji had not yet arrived, and Shen Yun was placed on an embroidery pier to sit. This treatment flattered Shen Yun. And the chamberlain had already told Shen Yun what questions Zhao Ji would ask when he came over, and at this time, in a quiet environment, his mind kept turning. He didn't want to, and his first impression on Zhao Ji was stammering.

Thinking about it, I went out of my mind. Suddenly, there was a voice from outside that His Majesty was coming, if it weren't for the reminder from the attendants around him, Shen Yun would have really committed the crime of dereliction. When Shen Yun was about to worship, he was stopped by Zhao Ji: "Okay, okay, hurry up and enter the palace, I want to listen to you, and tell me my views on the new policy." ”
