Chapter 171: The Night Banquet in Qujiang (Finale)

Chapter 171 Qujiang Night Banquet (Finale)

(Bow down and thank "Fluttering Snow" for casting her second precious pink ticket of the month.) The support of the family is the greatest motivation of Yixin. Single-mindedly seeking all kinds of tickets...... οΌ‰

Daming Palace, Taiye Pool!

Li Shimin leaned softly on the soft collapse, and Empress Eldest Sun crossed her knees, sat on a brocade pier, and gently rubbed his temples from behind. For Li Shimin in the past two days, he was even more tired than when he first ascended the throne, which was a real internal and external dilemma!

Internally, as the investigation into the assassination of Empress Changsun slowly unfolded, more and more people were involved, and the biggest headache for him was his two sons Li Chengqian and Li Tai. One is the crown prince, and the other is the king of Wei, who is his most important; The two sons each have a party, and these days of attacking each other have already made the DPRK and China feel a little stormy. If it weren't for the neutrality of some founding fathers and the hardcore royalists such as He Jin and Qin's legacy to turn the tide, I am afraid that a bloody storm would have already been set off in the DPRK and China.

Externally, the mountain clans pressed forward step by step, repeatedly and twice challenged the limits of their patience, and under the instigation and covert funding of the remnants of Tuyuhun, they invaded various important towns in the southwestern border from time to time. Although Zuo Xiaowei was transferred to the southwest, although Zuo Xiaowei has veterans like Duan Zhixuan, and there are elite Modao troops led by fierce generals like Li Siye and Yao Hai. However, Zuo Xiaowei only had a total of 30,000 people. In the face of nearly 100,000 mountain soldiers who are like wolves and tigers, they are arrogant and good at fighting, and it is very reluctant to be able to hold the current defense line. If you want to win the war, you must recruit more troops. However, at present, the army is exhausted, and there are really no more troops to move to the southwest......

Therefore, in the past few days, Li Shimin has hardly had a moment of leisure, and his mind has been thinking about the solution to these two things. Today's Qujiang night banquet, Qin Yifeng attended the banquet. Li Xiaogong fell ill today because of his older age and hard work all day long. This made Li Shimin's heart sad for a while: the old brothers who had followed him to fight the world since the Qin Wangfu were getting older, and there were not many people who could fight side by side with him......

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but panic a little, if he worked like this again, maybe he would get sick one day. So after thinking about it, he was also busy and went to Taiye Pool to find the eldest grandson queen and relax. At the beginning of the Qujiang night banquet, he even sent someone to send each poem that was rated as good as possible to the palace as soon as possible, so that he and Empress Changsun could also taste it!

When Jiang Zhixuan's first poem was delivered to him, Li Shimin proudly showed off to Empress Eldest Sun:

"Guanyin, how is it? My students are very literary and elegant, quite a bit of my literary style, right? Fewer words"

The eldest grandson queen naturally did not brush his mind, and practiced and praised. But. When more than a dozen flower-filled and gorgeous poems were delivered, Li Shimin's face was a little unbearable. I thought indignantly:

"Could it be that these new scholars are just embroidered pillows that can only make some splendid articles?" At this time, the news that a top Jinshi challenged Jiang Zhixuan, the champion of the new department, was delivered to him, along with the seven-character poem of 'Yongsong' made by the new Jinshi!

To be honest, after reading the poems made by the Jinshi, Li Shimin was indeed a little apprehensive, because this matter can be big or small. If Jiang Zhixuan wins, then this matter is naturally a trivial matter, the dignified new champion, the literary talent is naturally much higher than that of a top armor jinshi, and it is not surprising that he won; But if Jiang Zhixuan loses, then this matter is a big deal, the protΓ©gΓ© of the dignified son of heaven, how can he say that he can be regarded as a fierce tiger, and no matter how bad he is, he can be regarded as a hungry wolf, right? If Shaozi is defeated under the provocation of a straw dog, then his Majesty Li Er's face will be lost......

Seeing that Li Shimin was a little restless, Empress Changsun hurriedly increased the intensity of the massage. While kneading, she gently comforted her in her refreshing soft voice:

"Erlang, don't be suspicious, you should treat your students. Have confidence in the champion of your royal pen hand-picked! ”

After all, Li Shimin is the king of a country, and he quickly adjusted his mentality when he heard this. Lay down with peace of mind and continue to enjoy the massage of his beloved wife, silently thinking in his mind, what kind of poem can he have to overshadow the masterpiece of the Jinshi who has just been crowned with the imperial history! As a result, I couldn't think of it when I was full of mud, and I couldn't help but say silently in my heart:

"Stinky boy, don't embarrass me. If you can cover it, it's fine, if you can't do it, then I will have to talk to you about the assassination of my queen. When the time comes, let's settle the new accounts and old accounts together, so that you can marry your daughter-in-law and celebrate the New Year! ”

……

There was an eerie silence in the hall of Ziyun Tower, so quiet that a needle could be heard clearly when it fell to the ground. Because everyone looked up with bated breath, waiting to see the masterpiece of the new champion, to see what kind of poem it was, which could win the favor of several celebrities and two highnesses at the same time.

The two guards held the scroll written on yellow silk and ran to the third floor of the Ziyun Tower. Solemnly and slowly walked to the place where the yellow silk was hung, one of the guards fixed one end of the scroll to the stairs, and the other guard pulled the rope, and as soon as his hand was released, the yellow silk on that side fell down. The new scholars and other scholars below, as well as the ladies in the women's hall, stared at the yellow silk without blinking.

Finally, the fluttering yellow silk changed and drooped, and the much-anticipated champion poem finally appeared in front of everyone:

A thousand hammers out of the mountains,

The fire burns like idleness;

I'm not afraid of broken bones,

Leave innocence in the world!

Everyone in the audience slowly tasted it, and the more they tasted it, the more they felt admiration! In particular, some of the ladies in the women's hall were stunned by the tragic and firm and indomitable belief in the poem. I only felt a strong pain in my heart, and I couldn't wait to hold this gentle champion in my arms on the spot, so as to comfort him. And those scholars deeply admired the talent and character of this champion......

Jiang Zhixuan used lime as a metaphor to express his loyalty to the country, his willingness not to be afraid of sacrifice and his determination to adhere to noble sentiments. The most clever thing about this poem is that it uses lime everywhere to metaphorize itself, and to sing lime is to sing about oneself. At the same time, he also hinted that he wanted to be like Lime, not hesitating to break his bones and stick to his innocence......

The jinshi who challenged Jiang Zhixuan was stunned for a long time, and then stood up from his seat first. walked to the aisle in the middle of the hall, and faced Jiang Zhixuan with a deep sigh:

"The champion is highly talented, and he admires it below; The character of the champion is noble, and it is even more difficult to reach the horse, and he sincerely apologizes to the champion for his rudeness and arrogance......"

Jiang Zhixuan smiled, raised the wine bottle in his hand, and raised the three hundred new science and technology scholars in the field:

"Zhixuan is not talented, I am willing to use this poem to show my ambition and encourage you together! Dry! ”

He was the champion of the new department, and he was the leader of the 300 new science and technology scholars. At this time, a 'lime chant' calmed down all the scholars who were still resentful of him, and raised their glasses at this time. The three hundred scholars suddenly stood up and said in unison:

"I am willing to work with the champion publicly, do it!"

The other gentlemen and guests in the hall, as well as many ladies in the women's hall, were all infected by this meeting, and they also stood up one after another, raised their wine bottles and raised their heads to dry. Pity some ladies, who used to be drunk at all. At this time, a glass of wine was in the stomach, and soon after a while, the drunken madness began, and soon after the young girl sat down, she began to cry out in confusion:

"Jiang Lang...... My Jiang Lang ......"

"Jiang Lang...... Cluck...... Tomorrow. Then you came to my house to propose marriage...... It's a good ......."

Frightened, their maids were pale, and hurriedly covered the mouth of their young lady, ">, so anxious that tears were about to fall. Jiang Zhixuan, who was in the main hall here, never imagined that his whim would harm so many women, and he couldn't help but feel very annoyed in his heart. After sitting down, he was embarrassed and silent, trying to avoid these troubles.

But he didn't want to get into trouble, and trouble came to him. Soon after he sat down, a lady in palace dress with bright eyes and bright teeth, graceful and delicate, walked up to him, on a red and pretty face, a crescent moon with water, looked at him with affection, and lightly opened her lips and said:

"The little woman is brave, after the dinner is over, can she invite Jiang Zhuangyuan...... Take a boat trip to this Qujiang Pond? ”。 Although she was very shy, the woman still finished her words clearly.

Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded, this woman is too bold, right? Shaozi is such a direct way to show love, putting aside all the reserve and face of a woman...... But everyone envies Jiang Zhixuan's Yanfu - this woman is probably the most touching woman in the Qujiang night banquet tonight......

Li Chengqian and Li Tai on the main seat were also close to semi-petrified at this time. Neither of them could have imagined that the dignified royal princess would put aside all her reserve and self-esteem and invite a man to go on a boat trip to the garden in a low voice. How does this work? Where is the royal face? Even if the other party is a new champion, this will not work!!!

It's not just the two of them who are uncomfortable, Jiang Zhixuan also wants to cry without tears at this time! The conscience of heaven and earth, from beginning to end, he never thought about who to provoke. But what's going on? First, someone sent flowers, and now there are people courting in person! Although the woman in front of him is indeed eye-catching, in his mind, his beloved wife, who is waiting for his homecoming with a stomach and a lamp and candle on the table at this time, is even more holy and beautiful......

"This young lady" >, I'm sorry, Zhixuan's family still has a wife and young son who are looking forward to it. After the dinner, Zhixuan was about to rush home. Serving the inner son who is pregnant with Rokka, so, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the young lady ">! ”。 These words are extremely polite, but the meaning expressed is very firm and clear.

Princess Nanping only felt that her heart was blocked, and a fishy sweet liquid surged in her throat, and her face instantly turned the color of pig liver. She put aside the nobility and reserve of the royal princess, and took the initiative to show her love despite the strange eyes of thousands of scholars and ladies. The hateful man in front of him actually disdained her? At that moment, Princess Nanping only felt that the world was spinning, and after staggering for a while, she finally couldn't hold it anymore, and her body slowly fell backwards......
