Before Li Hong came to Juyue Tower, he learned about Cheng Dazhi and the people around him through Yan Zhuang, and he was very clear about the current situation of Wei Chi Xunyan, Qin Zhan and Xue Yan. So he didn't have any trouble chatting with the four of them.

And Wei Chi Xunyan, Qin Zhan, Cheng Dazhi and Xue Yan gradually let go of Li Hongjiao after a few glasses of wine, and they didn't have too many scruples, and they talked a lot.

At this time, the atmosphere of the Peony Pavilion began to be lively!

Everyone was drinking, chatting, and talking about some of the anecdotes they knew, and the atmosphere of drinking was very harmonious.

During this time, after observing Li Hong, he found that Cheng Dazhi was rough and detailed, Qin Zhan was introverted and didn't like to talk much, Wei Chi Xun was thoughtful, and Xue Yan was rough and upright.

"How can Your Highness be lucky enough to go out of the palace today?" At this moment, Wei Chi Xunyan suddenly asked.

As soon as his words came out, Cheng Dazhi, Qin Zhan, and Xue Yan moved their eyes to Li Hong at the same time, they didn't care what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going out of the palace for today, what they really wanted to know was what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was looking for them to drink.

"It's too boring to stay in the palace, so I want to come out and hang out!" Li Hong took a sip of wine and said, "It's just that I didn't expect that I just visited the east and west cities, and I encountered a lot of worrying problems!" ”

Cheng Dazhi, Qin Zhan and Xue Yan heard Li Hong say this, but they only sighed after drinking with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so they didn't say anything.

When Wei Chixun heard Li Hong say this, his heart suddenly trembled, and his face couldn't help but show a trace of joy that was difficult to detect. Because he heard the subtext in Li Hong's words, he hurriedly spoke, "Your Highness has lived in the East Palace for a long time, and may not be very familiar with the situation in Chang'an City. ”

As soon as Cheng Dazhi, Qin Zhan and Xue Yan heard Wei Chi Xunyan say this, no matter how stupid they were, they knew what to say, so they hurriedly put down their cups and said to Li Hong, "As long as Your Highness can use us, please ask Your Highness to just give orders." ”

Li Hong likes Wei Chi Xunyan's cleverness very much, he only needs a hint just now, he understands the meaning of his words, and prefers the transparency of Cheng Dazhi, Qin Zhan and Xue Yan, so he said slowly, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm unhappy with someone and want to punish him." ”

When they first met, Li Hong didn't dare to guarantee whether the four of them really wanted to return to him and serve him, so he didn't dare to arrange important things for the four of them to do at the beginning.

"Who is so bold and dares to be disrespectful to His Highness, and ask His Highness to say a word, Xue Yan will immediately go and arrest him to kill this thief for His Highness!" Xue Yan, who was already slightly drunk, shouted loudly, and immediately got up to ask Li Hong for instructions.

"Brother Xue, this is not right, how can you serve His Highness without me?" Cheng Dazhi, who was also drunk, also got up and asked Li Hong for instructions.

Although Qin Zhan and Wei Chi Xunyan, who were at the same table, were not as indignant as Xue Yan and Cheng Dazhi, they were also ready to move.

The four of them are all hot-blooded young people, and they all want to get on Li Hong's boat, even if Wei Chi Xun is thoughtful, everyone still expresses their allegiance to Li Hong.

"You have this intention, Lone is very pleased! But there's no hurry! Li Hong smiled lightly, "Since we are destined to meet today, let's talk about our ambitions!" I'd like to hear your thoughts and plans for the future! ”

Li Hong said this because he wanted to get to know the four of them in depth again, so that he could arrange a position suitable for them.

He wanted to take the four of them under his command, in addition to the people who were urgently needed now, he also valued the family background of the four people, because whether it was Yu Chi Baolin or Qin Huaidao, Cheng Chucun or Xue Rengui, even if they didn't have much power now, as long as Li Hong was willing, with a piece of paper, they could turn over.

Of course, this is not to say how capable Li Hong is, but because their own family backgrounds are relatively prominent, all of them are the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and they will only fall to this point because they were left out in the cold. If it is placed on the children of ordinary nobles or officials from civilian backgrounds, no matter how powerful Li Hong is, he does not have such ability.

This is the real reason why Li Hong is willing to gather Wei Chi Xunyan and Qin Zhan, Cheng Dazhi and Xue Yan.

To be honest, the four of them are still young now, and it's okay to do some dirty work as a follower, if they help him to fight martial arts and successfully ascend the throne and become emperor, their ability is far from enough.

The reason why he values the four of them is only because he values their fathers, such as Qin Huaiyu and Qin Huaidao brothers, Yu Chi Baolin, and Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chucun and others.

"Don't hide it from Your Highness, although we are the sons of noble people and have prominent family backgrounds, our respective status in the house is not high, and we can't get the support of our families, so we don't have any big ambitions at all, but we just don't want to live a life like this!" Wei Chi Xunyan sighed and said.

From ancient times to the present, there is a difference.

This difference in identity is especially valued by the wealthy families!

Among the four, although Wei Chi Xunyan and Xue Yan are sisters-in-law, they are not the eldest sons, and Cheng Dazhi and Qin Zhan are even more concubines.

Therefore, it is true that Wei Chi Xunyan said this.

As soon as Wei Chi Xunyan said this, Cheng Dazhi, Xue Yan and Qin Zhan's mood was a little low.

Li Hong is in the royal family and empathizes with the experience and situation of the four people. Because he knows that in the struggle for the throne, the difference in identity between the concubines always affects whether a prince can successfully inherit the throne.

The best example of this is that after Queen Wang was deposed, her adopted son Li Zhong was deposed and given to death in the depreciation.

Even if Li Hong is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, but this is a family matter of the four people, and it involves the struggle for power in the families of the four people, he is not easy to ask, and it is even more difficult to say anything, so he muttered for a while and said:

"Go north to climb the thistle gate, and see the desert in the vast. Leaning on the sword against the wind and dust, he thought about it. … Draw the Qilin Pavilion, enter the Mingguang Palace, laugh to the scribes, once how poor you are. ”

"The beacon fire shines on Xijing, and my heart is uneven. Yazhang resigned from the phoenix, and rode around the dragon city. The snow is dark and the flag is painted, and the wind is mixed with the sound of drums. Rather be a centurion than a scholar. ”

"Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain, the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass. The yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken. ”

"The volcano should be hotter in June, and the Equiting crossing is overwhelmingly pedestrianized. Knowing that the monarch is accustomed to Qilian City, how can he be sad to see Luntaiyue. Take off the saddle and temporarily enter the restaurant, and send Jun Wanli to the west to hit Hu. Fame can only be taken immediately, and he is really a hero husband. ”

The first poem that Li Hong chanted was a poem in Gao Shi's early years of longing to join the army and make meritorious contributions.

The second poem is "From the Army" written by Yang Jiong, and the content of the poem reflects the desire of young people who are unwilling to be lonely and want to devote their pen to the frontier to make contributions.

The third song is Wang Changling's "Seven Songs from the Army? Fourth, the soldiers written in this poem did not have the war-weariness of thinking about returning home after a long war, and in order to defend the security of their home and country, they disregarded their personal interests and resolutely expressed that they would continue to fight to the end in the face of the great enemy.

The fourth poem is "Sending Deputy Envoy Li to the Western Officers and Army" written by Cen Shen, this poem does not write about the deep affection for others, nor does it write about the hardships of the border fortress, but enthusiastically encourages friends to go to the army to participate in the war. Between the lines, people feel a wave of passion rippling, showing a heroic spirit.

As soon as these four poems came out, everyone in the Peony Pavilion was shocked!

Not to mention Wei Chi Xunyan, Qin Zhan, Cheng Dazhi and Xue Yan, even Li Hong's personal guard general Chen Gong and Yan Zhuang, who had followed Li Hong for ten years, couldn't believe when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so poetic and could chant such heroic and deafening verses?

Suddenly, the Peony Pavilion suddenly fell into silence!

Wei Chi Xunyan, Qin Zhan, Cheng Dazhi and Xue Yan were even more infected by the heroic emotions expressed in the four poems, regardless of their background, regardless of their family background, regardless of their position. In particular, "fame and fame can only be taken immediately," and "it is better to be a centurion than to be a scholar." The poem shocked them the most!

Li Hong just drank a little wine, and just wanted to motivate Wei Chi Xunyan and Qin Zhan, Cheng Dazhi and Xue Yan, so he blurted out these four lines of side poems. Now seeing everyone's reaction after listening to it, especially seeing Chen Gong and Yan Zhuang's surprised expressions, he regretted it a little.

Because he chanted these poems in front of Wei Chi Xunyan, Qin Zhan, Cheng Dazhi and Xue Yan, the four of them would not doubt him. It's just that when this matter reached the palace and let Gaozong and Empress Wu and the vassals of the East Palace know, he didn't know how to explain it.

Although he was talented, as early as the age of ten, he summoned Xu Jingzong, Shangguanyi, Yang Sijian and others to collect ancient and modern anthologies together, and compiled a large-scale anthology of 500 volumes "Yaoshan Yucai", but he did not complete it alone, but gathered a group of people such as Xu Jingzong and Shangguanyi.

The four poems he wrote just now are all blurted out, and they are all masterpieces, and the standard is very high, so it can't help but surprise and doubt!

"Listening to His Highness's words today, Wei Chi Xunyan's heart knot in the past has been resolved, and his heart is suddenly bright, and he knows what he should do in the future! Your Highness's grace today, Xun Yan will definitely remember it! Please also ask Your Highness to bow down! Just when Li Hong was thinking about how he should explain these four poems to Gaozong, Empress Wu and the subordinate officials of the East Palace, Wei Chi Xunyan was the first to wake up and get up and bow to Li Hong.

Wei Chi Xunyan's worship seemed to be only to thank Li Hong for his enlightenment, but in fact, it was an expression of his attitude and determination to truly serve Li Hong.

At this time, Cheng Dazhi, Qin Zhan, and Xue Yan also came to their senses, their eyes were clear, the expressions on their faces were very resolute, and they lost their previous decadence and frustration, and the three of them also got up and bowed to Li Hong like Wei Chi Xunyan, "Your Highness's words today have made us untie the knot in our hearts and know what kind of road we should take, please accept this worship of Your Highness!" ”

Li Hong knew what it meant for the four of them to pay homage to him so solemnly, so he did not refuse, but accepted their great gifts.
