There are many more scholars in the capital than usual, and there are naturally many more people in this meeting.

After the Shangyuan Festival, before the New Year, Li Wenlan went to four or five literary meetings that could not be shirked.

On this day, Li Wenlan came back from Wenhui, entered the second gate of Yongningbo's Mansion, asked if Mr. Guo was not in the mansion, stood for a while, turned around and went out, and ordered to go to King Qin's Mansion.

When he arrived at the Qin Palace, Li Wenlan stood in the second gate, and did not go in, so he invited Guo Sheng out, and entered the gatehouse with Guo Sheng, and said in a low voice: "Sir, there is something, the more I think about it, the more I feel unsteady, I have to tell Mr. quickly." ”

"What's the matter? You said. Guo Sheng motioned to him.

"At today's meeting, there are a few Taiyuan students, when my father was studying in Taiyuan Mansion, he taught them for a few years, and there are some scholars from Jiangnan Road, talking about Enke, there has been no movement until now, everyone is very anxious, just say ......"

Li Wenlan got up for a while, "Just say...... That, ask me if I can invite Master Su, as well as the sixth young master of Gu, and ask me, the last excerpt or something......"

"You're going to call out for Enko, huh? You promised? Guo Sheng understood as soon as he heard it.

"I didn't agree, and I didn't die, I felt a little inappropriate at the time, and I didn't dare to agree, but ......" Li Wenlan was a little apprehensive, intuitively, he felt that this matter was very inappropriate, he was hugged in the middle at that time, so eager and eager, he really couldn't refuse.

"What do you think? Should I give them a voice? Guo Sheng looked him up and down, squinting a smile, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I ...... myself" Li Wenlan thought for a while, "Sir, I also think that it is time to open a Keenke, since the emperor ascended the throne, even since the founding of the country, such a great victory is rare, and the crooked fingers are counted, and the previous dynasty was not as good as such a great victory, and they all opened Enke." ”

"In the spring of last year, I took a lot more scholars than usual, nearly half more, isn't it considered to be the addition of Enke?" Guo Sheng looked at him and asked.

"That's just as well." Li Wenlan scratched her head a little, "Sir, speaking of this, I'm a little confused, take more scholars and Kaien Kebi, of course, Kai Enke is more grand, more obvious Huang En, even if it was last year, fifty percent more scholars, this year, open Enke, take fewer people, over the years, the original scholars are not as good as the Zhengke, the emperor really doesn't open Enke?" ”

"I don't know." Guo Sheng looked at Li Wenlan with a smile, "Do you remember what I told you before?" I'm not around, what should I do if I'm undecided? ”

"Listen to yourself." Li Wenlan replied very quickly.

"Well, this matter, also listen to your own, if you feel that you should call a few times, you can go, if you think it is not appropriate, then do not go, this is not a big deal. Merely. ”

Guo Sheng paused, "You are a person, your father and brother are below the fifth grade, you are small-spoken, and no one pays attention to it, this matter, you want to appeal, but you are also powerless." ”

Li Wenlan kept nodding, "That's what I think, it's not that I don't want to, it's useless." ”

"But," Guo Sheng's words changed, "Those scholars are all human spirits, they must be more subtle than you know, and it is useless to speak, they are looking for you, but they are just asking you to draw a thread and find a few useful people to speak, for example, "

Guo Sheng paused for a moment and said slowly: "Master Su." This matter, it is enough to have one of the eldest prince of Su, as for Gu Liu, he has not been admitted to the Jinshi, just like you, no matter how powerful the Gu family is, it will not fall on his head, he will forget it, on the side of the eldest prince Su, if you can think of a way, just think of a way for them, if not, forget it. ”

Li Wenlan kept nodding and smiling, "I think so too, I think the same as Mr., thank you Mr. for your advice, I know what to do, then I'll go back." ”

Li Wenlan happily said goodbye and went back, Guo Sheng stood in the second gate, watching Li Wenlan turn around the shadow wall, then turned around and went back to the courtyard of the study slowly.

Guo Sheng went straight into the upper room, and King Qin raised his head from a pile of merit books, looked at him and asked, "Is it the sixth brother?" So anxious to find you? Nothing, right? ”

Jin Zhuoyan also looked at Guo Sheng.

Guo Sheng laughed first, "It can't be considered nothing, nor can it be regarded as something." Guo Sheng told Li Wenlan in a few words.

"You're egging him on!" Jin Cunyan pointed at Guo Sheng, "Is there such a gentleman as you?" ”

"You want to put Su Ye on top?" King Qin shook his head while laughing, "He came forward to win people's hearts and disgust the emperor, and if he didn't come forward, he would lose the heart of a scholar, but your trick is too rough, no matter how smart Su Ye is, he will not be fooled like this, but I am afraid that later, I don't know who will be topped." ”

"Anyone can do it." Guo Sheng smiled very freely, "No matter who it is, in short, it is the emperor who does not open this Enke in the end, either he didn't think about it, he was negligent, or he was persuaded by someone, or he didn't want to open it, he didn't open this Enke." ”

"You're crazy." Jin Zhuoyan's face changed slightly, and he blurted out.

King Qin looked at Guo Sheng with a bit of solemnity in his eyes, and for a moment, motioned to Jin Cunyan not to say more, looked at Guo Sheng and ordered: "Sixth brother here, you watch it, don't let him suffer." ”

"Don't worry, you can't afford to lose." Guo Sheng replied with a smile.

Li Wenlan returned to Yongningbo Mansion, thought about it, came out to the Gu family again, found Gu Liu, and muttered about this matter, Gu Liu had nothing to do with this matter, he didn't think that the emperor would definitely not open Enke, nor did he think that it was a big deal to open Enke, of course, mentioning the matter of opening Enke, naturally it was not a big deal, the two discussed and discussed, and decided to mention it in public at the banquet meeting on the day of the banquet building.

The literary meeting of the banquet building, which was first played by a group of students in Taixue, became more and more prosperous, and later Su Ye entered Taixue and emerged, it was at the banquet building meeting, this banquet building literary meeting has become one of the most popular literary meetings in the capital over the years.

Over the years, the banquet building has always been presided over by Su Ye, and this trip is no exception, the banquet hosted by Su Ye has always been overcrowded.

This year's banquet building, a year ago overhauled, the lake has been thoroughly cleaned at this time, the lake water is clear and almost bottomed, the pavilions and pavilions along the lake are connected by curved bridges, which is extremely suitable for the Wenhui and needs to smell each other and have different occasions.

After a few rounds of poetry and writing, after a few rounds of drinking, Gu Liu saw a group of Jiangnan scholars come forward to toast and speak, and glanced at Li Wenlan, Li Wenlan stood up, talked a few words to everyone, and said with Su Ye and smiled: "By the way, they all said that they wanted to open Enke, and now they have opened the Ya, and they want to come down soon, right?" Su Gongzi often serves by the emperor's side, and he must know about this, maybe this Enke's will is still from Su Gongzi's hand. ”

The scholars in the Manhua Hall suddenly pricked up their ears, which was the thing that everyone was most concerned about.

"I really don't know." Su Ye smiled freely and replied very quickly, "Brother Lan still doesn't know me, the most lazy, from the beginning of the year to the present, I haven't arrived at the Hanlin Academy to answer the mao, I will go to Ying Mao tomorrow to see when I can go to work, but I am afraid that by then, the will will come down early." ”

Su Ye laughed as he spoke.

"Listen to what Brother Su means, this Enke is bound to be opened?" Gu Liu hurriedly asked.

"It's okay if someone else says this, shouldn't the sixth young master say this, who doesn't know the unpredictable sentence of holy will? Besides, vainly speculating about the holy will, but breaking the law, don't talk nonsense, this can't open Enke, of course I think about the good, I'm a person, I think about the good in everything, isn't the sixth young master like this? ”

Su Ye smiled at Yan Yan, Gu Liu patted his head and laughed, "Yes, I'm like this as a person, I think of everything for the good." If I really want to open Enko, I have to take the next test this year. ”

"I'm different from Su Gongzi and the Sixth Young Master, I think on the bad side, you say, will the emperor not think about Enke? The emperor has all kinds of opportunities, they are all big things, Enke's matter, in our is a big thing, in the emperor's bunch of big things, it will not be obvious, in case the emperor forgets, Su Gongzi has to remind us a word. ”

Li Wenlan followed closely behind Gu Liu's words and said.

"Three or four months before the main course last year, the main exam was decided, and this Enke is going to be opened, and there will definitely be no movement at this time, but I am afraid that it will not be opened." In the crowd, a scholar raised his voice slightly.

"But no, I heard that in November of the previous year, Tang Shangshu closed his door, the national exam is not a trivial matter, no matter how fast, you have to prepare for three or four months, there is no movement at this time, I am afraid that I am not ready to open."

"Yes, yes, Enke is in the first half of the year, but there has never been a case in the second half of the year."

"There are examples in the second half of the year, but there is no in this dynasty, it stands to reason that if you really want to open Enke, there should be a letter at the end of last year, Jin Shizi's triumph, it was in September last year, and now, three or four months, four or five months have passed."

"Last year's two big victories, since the founding of the country, there has never been a big celebration, not to open Enke, it is really ......"

"But no, now the south is simply the road is not left untouched and the night is not closed, I came from Fujian, the road is really comfortable, the eyes see, all peace and joy, such a great victory in the prosperous world, not open Enke is unprecedented."

……

The scholars gossiped, the more they talked, the more excited they became, they were early, from the middle of last year, they rushed over, and almost all of the people who lost in the spring last year were stranded because of their hopes for Enke, and they did not leave, and so on, in fact, everyone has understood very well that this Enke, I am afraid that they can't wait, they can only work hard now, to see if they can win this Enke.

Su Ye still had a smile on his face, listening intently to what everyone was saying, and kept nodding his head in agreement, but his eyes were becoming more and more gloomy.

There would be no such thing as Enko, he had guessed it earlier than everyone here, or rather, since the beginning, since the first great victory, he had never had such a delusion as Enko.

"Master Su, otherwise, you take the lead, let's give the emperor an excerpt, and ask the emperor to open Keenko." Li Wenlan looked at Su Ye and said straightforwardly.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's a great idea, and I second! Gu Liu hurriedly raised his hand in agreement.

"This matter, only Su Gongzi can take the lead, the sixth young master and I are both white, we can't hand over the fold, the ...... here" Li Wenlan raised his arm and drew a circle, "Almost all of them are white, one or two are not, compared with Su Gongzi in terms of prestige, it is far inferior, and I also ask Su Gongzi to help everyone say a word." ”

Li Wenlan said, and looked at it for a long time.

Gu Liu followed with a smile and said: "Brother Su must not shirk, you are the leader of our scholars, this is recognized, at this time, it is time for you to come forward and speak for the scholars, this matter can not be shirked." ”

"What do you recommend?" Su Ye made a decision in the blink of an eye, smiled heartily, and bowed his hand to everyone, "The sixth young master, the leader of the scholars, didn't dare to be, he tortured Su, but he could speak for you, Su didn't dare to recommend it, it's just that this matter has to be discussed carefully, let's speak out, not just to make a voice, but to get this thing done, everyone said, right?" ”

Everyone applauded loudly, and they rushed to Su Ye, Li Wenlan, and Gu Liuchang to thank each other.

Su Ye looked at Li Wenlin behind the crowd, and hurriedly beckoned to him, "Third Master Li is coming to the front, please take a seat, we have to discuss this matter."

The head is the same, the sixth young master and the sixth brother of the Li family said that they are small and small, to be honest, I, the Hanlin Chengzhi, are also very small and subtle, and I am afraid that I will not be able to reach the emperor. We have to find a few people who are not small and not small, and they are not small enough to go on this excerpt together. ”

"Master Su, please speak!" Li Wenlan was a little excited.

"The first one, naturally Tang Shangshu, what do you say I am the leader of the scholars, that's a joke on me, the real leader of the scholars, is our Tang Shangshu, Tang Shangshu's character and talent, that is obvious to all, the sixth brother and Tang Shangshu are close in-laws who can no longer be kissed, the sixth brother's brother, and from Tang Shangshu's disciples, sixth brother, Tang Shangshu here, can I ask you to come forward, please Tang Shangshu come forward, even if you can't take the lead in the fold, you have to seconded the signature."

Su Ye was the first one, and he clicked on Li Wenlan, Li Wenlan was stunned, and then nodded, "Okay, I'll go to the Tang Mansion." ”

"Sixth brother is admirable!" Su Ye got up and thanked Li Wenlan, and was about to speak, Li Wenlin raised his hand excitedly and said, "I have some friendship with Prince Jiang, or ......."

"Prince Jiang is similar to us, but he is not enough." Su Ye made a joke, and then said: "There is a person who is about to bother Li Sanye, can you ask Li Sanye to go to Zheng Shangshu's mansion and ask Zheng Shangshu to second?" Zheng Shangshu is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he should be in charge of this Enke's business. ”

"Done!" Li Wenlin agreed.

Su Ye laughed, thanked Li Wenlin again, and then turned to Gu Liu, Gu Liu smiled at him: "You don't need to say it, I'll go back and ask Daddy to come forward, your house, Su Shangshu can't refuse." ”

"Rest assured." Su Ye laughed and agreed.
