Xu Zhu frowned, and felt that this matter was quite inappropriate, but it seemed like a political conspiracy.

As soon as Xu Zhu wanted to put pen to paper to refuse the matter, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling outside the window, and walked quickly to the window, only to see that Fang Cai's carrier pigeon was shot dead and thrown out of the window.

Sure enough, it is still the same temper as before, Xuzhu is helpless, after all, his family and friends are still in Shengjing City, if he makes Chu Huaichen unhappy, I am afraid that he will not end well.

The supremacy of imperial power, even the most talented literati and writers must rely on the imperial power to make a living, so the treatment of scholars in Tianlan is indeed much better than that of Yuan Qi.

Xuzhu sighed, but he still chose to ask the dignitaries and dignitaries he had made friends in Shangjing to spread the news of the poetry meeting.

In this way, according to Emperor Tianlan's admiration for literature, it is not difficult to invite the two highnesses. However, he was very curious about what kind of attitude the eldest princess of Tianlan would use to dominate the heroes this time.

Within a few days, the news that Master Xuzhu was going to hold a poetry meeting in Shangjing spread all over the streets and alleys, attracting literati in Beijing to inquire where the poetry meeting was held, and the news naturally reached the ears of the emperor.

In the Taiji Palace, Li Chengren knew that although Li Jun was born as a military general and obtained the throne by rebellion by force, he still appreciated the talents of people of insight. The literati who traveled to Tianlan were treated with high-standard etiquette, so Li Chengren could only do what he liked.

What's more, Taishi Xiao also talked to him about this matter a few days ago, and carefully analyzed, if he followed his father's wishes, then he and the crown prince would be one step closer.

"Father, the literary world of Yuan Qi, Xuzhu is now holding a poetry meeting in my Tianlan's Shangjing City, and Erchen suggests that it is better to set the place of the poetry meeting in the palace. At that time, all the literati of Tianlan can participate, and then they can also show Yuan Qi the prosperous scene of China's great country embracing all rivers and prosperous culture. ”

Li Jun nodded in agreement and sighed lightly, "The second prince's move is very heartfelt. ”

If you have this opportunity to show the world that Tianlan is also a cultural power rich in heritage, it is a good way to promote the prestige of the country.

All the ministers knew that the emperor's move was a sure thing about this matter, but the official Zou Yubai still felt that this matter was quite inappropriate, so he bluntly admonished,

"Holding a poetry meeting can indeed promote my Tianlan's reputation for attaching importance to talents, but if it is held in the palace at that time, there are many people, and it is quite inconvenient to manage, not to mention that Your Majesty has to think about your own safety."

Erchen seconded. This move is indeed inappropriate, and I hope my father will think twice. Li Chengde also stood up, holding the white jade wat board in his hand, and bowed his waist.

Li Jun stood up, his thick eyebrows furrowed, Long Yan was furious, his eyes looked directly at His Highness Li Chengde, and shouted,

"I am Emperor Tianlan, is it possible that I am still afraid that he will be wronged in front of the Yuan Qi Emperor? Third prince, you should also learn from your second brother how to figure out the holy will and please me, and this matter is decided. ”

After speaking, Li Jun coughed a few times, Wang Xi wanted to go forward to check, but was interrupted by Li Jun waving his hand to stop it.

Li Chengren lowered his eyes, his sword eyebrows pressed slightly, covering the schadenfreude in his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, and the temperament around him was more gloomy.

Zou Yubai sighed when he saw this, and reluctantly returned to his original position, and even the third highness was angrily scolded by the emperor. What's more, he is just a small official, above the court, it is important to protect himself.

"Your Majesty, Weichen proposes that this poetry meeting also invite Yuan Qi's envoys to come to show the demeanor of our great country." Xiao Fu took a step forward and arched his hand.

Li Jun suppressed the fishy sweetness in his throat and said lightly, "This matter will be fully responsible for Taishi Xiao." ”

As the days passed, the peach blossoms withered, and the pear blossoms followed.

Don't be surprised, watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, this is probably Li Xinghe's current state.

Since Li Chengde took Jiuzhuan back to Qingdan, his health has improved a lot, but the people in the court talked about Li Chengde's background, and it caused a storm in Beijing.

In addition, the previous poetry meeting caused the emperor to be unhappy, and at this time, Li Chengde's faction was quite unfavorable.

When Su Guifei heard about this, she also wanted to help and pass Li Chengde to her name, but Li Chengde refused, maybe the child always has an inseparable connection with his mother.

Li Xinghe looked at the petals falling all over the ground in the courtyard outside the hall, which was really a pity. Instead of letting them fall into mud and dust, it is better to return to the land and continue to nourish and repay the nurturing grace of the pear tree, so Shi Ying took the silk bag and flower hoe.

Shi Ying's movements were also fast, and it didn't take long for the two things to be put together.

Li Xinghe took it and rolled up his sleeves, squatted down, and planned to dig out a flower mound under the pear tree, it was difficult for her to emulate the allusion of Daiyu's funeral flowers today.

"If you bury these petals in the soil, it would be better to raise them to the moat and float out of the palace with the river, which can be regarded as a beautiful sight."

Shi Ying felt that it was indeed a pity to bury them here, and it would be better to float out of the palace with the river than to be imprisoned in this deep palace forever.

Li Xinghe twisted the petals and muttered,

"When you're not strong enough, talking about freedom is like a dream, like this petal, someone grabbing your throat and fiddling with others."

This situation is so similar to her, she doesn't want to pursue freedom, but in the palace, Li Chengren is eyeing him and has an endless posture.

If Li Chengren ascends the throne one day, I am afraid that the people of Chongming Hall will not even have the opportunity to bury their homeland deeply, and they will be directly crushed and scattered.

Li Xinghe pondered the current situation while shoveling the thick soil under the pear blossom tree with a flower hoe.

Suddenly, Li Xinghe seemed to have shoveled a hard object, so he hurriedly summoned Shi Ying to dig it out together.

After patting away all the dirt on the box, Li Xinghe found that this treasure box was exquisite and abnormal.

It is set with a pebble-sized ruby with openwork phoenix motifs and cloisonné enamel gold wire embedded around the box. However, there is a beautiful silver lock in the middle of the box, which is a bit like an object from the Western Regions, Li Xinghe thought to himself.

At this time, Wang Xi's father-in-law walked in with a smile on his face, but he caught a glimpse of the treasure box in Li Xinghe's arms, and his expression was slightly stunned, but he reacted quickly.

Li Xinghe only cared about exploring the cumbersome retro patterns on the box, and he really didn't notice the melancholy that flashed on Wang Xi's face for a while.

"Your Highness, this is a post from Your Majesty's old slave." Wang Xi packed up his emotions and explained his intentions.

Li Xinghe patted the falling flowers on his body, and took out the silk handkerchief in his sleeve to carefully wipe the dirt in his palm, and then took the two gilded name cards, and said as if unintentionally,

"Is this a slap in the face of the emperor and a sweet date?"

Wang Xi didn't know how to answer when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he whispered,

"The turmoil in the previous dynasty has not subsided, Your Majesty still needs the Third Highness to balance the power of the Xiao family, and I won't really attack the Third Highness for a while, and I hope the eldest princess will not give up."
