The halls of the East Palace are staggered.

Li Xiangao sat on it, Xue Yuanchao, Yao Lingzhang, Li Xuan, Su Liangsi and others sat on both sides.

Yang Jiong, Du Xianyan, Lu Zhaolin, Song Zhiwen, He Zhizhang, Chen Ziang, Lu Zangyong, Bi Gou, Yang Zhiyi, Du Pengju and dozens of other scholars and literati sat on both sides.

Drink with each other and recite poetry and have fun.

Li Xuan's gaze fell on Yang Zhiyi.

I sighed in my heart.

The more uncertain the person, the sooner it comes.

Now Princess Shang, there are only four families who really have a chance.

The Xue family, the Cui family, the Yang family, and the Lu family.

Other families, such as the Pei family, already have two people in the family who are almost about to step into the prime minister, and at this time, naturally there will be no more opportunities for them.

The Wei family is now the crown princess, and the emperor will not consider marrying the princess into the Wei family at all.

The Zheng family has Zheng Guanyin, and the Wang family has Queen Wang,

The Liu family did not succeed, and the Du family declined.

Li Xuan's eyes fell on Du Pengju, who had become active again since Du Bixing was appointed governor of Ji.

In the eyes of others, he is almost like a clown.

I didn't see the Dou family and the Dugu family, and they didn't go to join in the fun.

The people of the Xue family and the Cui family have not yet appeared.

Li Xuan raised his wine glass and sighed lightly, they are all smart people.

How can the princess's choice of a son-in-law be related to the imperial examination, the scientific examination is just a way of saying it to the outside world.

The eyes of outsiders are insignificant at all, and the real decision is in the hands of the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, the Xue family and the Cui family want to be the children of the horses, and they have not entered Beijing now.

Only Yang Zhiyi of the Yang family came earlier, after all, although the Yang family has a blood relationship with the Empress Wu, the Yang family itself has no outstanding people in the court.

Yang Jiong and Yongzhou Governor Shi Yang Zaisi are both descendants of the Yang family, but their positions are in the center, which is still a little lower.

The Xue family has the left concubine of the East Palace, and the third grade Xue Yuanchao under the same Zhongshu door.

The Cui family has a Huangmen waiter, and Cui Zhiwen, a three-grade under the same Zhongshu door.

With their family background, it is normal for someone to be a princess.

In addition, there is the Lu family.

……

Li Xuan raised his wine glass, and Lu Zang, who also looked over, gently raised his glass, his eyes were cold.

Now the Lu family is most active in Chang'an, but Lu Zangyong has already married, and even has children.

Smart people, I'm afraid, will hide the real chess pieces under the surface of the water.

"Uncle Wang, they are composing poems on the theme of snow, and Uncle Wang doesn't write a poem." Li Xian looked at Li Xuan with a smile.

Li Xuan shook his head with a gentle smile and said: "Forget it, today is an occasion for young scholars, and as soon as an old guy like Chen opens his mouth, I'm afraid he will steal everyone's limelight." ”

Li Xuan's words, Li Xian was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing, clapped his hands and said, "That's true, it's true." ”

Since Li Xuan entered the office, his literary brilliance has been flying.

How many literati and scholars, courtiers and foreign envoys, were impressed by his verses, where can those young people compare.

Even compared with Yang Jiong and Lu Zhaolin, they are slightly better, of course, Du Xianyan, who never admits defeat, is another matter.

Li Xuan's gaze fell on Du Xianyan's body.

In his opinion, if he meets Sheng Shimingjun, among these people, the one who has the best chance of becoming the prime minister is Du Xianyan.

The stubborn and upright temperament of the Du family has been inherited in the Du Xianyan lineage.

Du Xianyan, as well as his grandson Du Fu, are all representatives of this kind.

Du Fu and Li Bai later became close friends, and among them, there was no reason why Li Bai was very similar to Du Xianyan.

At this moment, a slight footstep appeared on the side, and the attendants in the East Palace walked out from behind and whispered a few words beside Li Xian.

Li Xian was slightly stunned, and then waved his hand.

The waiter walked lightly to Li Xuan's side and whispered a few words, Li Xuan's face was extremely surprised, and he even felt a little ridiculous.

Li Xuan slowly stood up and arched his hand at Li Xian.

Li Xian smiled bitterly and nodded, and Li Xuan turned around and followed the chamberlain towards the apse.

Many people saw this scene with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

For the officials of the East Palace, the following people are actually very concerned.

Li Xian is the crown prince, Xue Yuanchao is the prime minister, Li Xuan and Yao Lingzhang are both high-ranking officials of the third grade, and Yang Zaisi, Su Liangsi, Cheng Wuzhong, Wei Hongmin and others are all officials.

Now Li Xuan suddenly got up and left, and he went to the apse.

In an instant, smart people have already begun to ponder.

After a while, some people's eyes have brightened.

……

Laughter came from the apse, as clear and melodious as a silver bell.

As soon as Li Xuan walked to the door, there was a hint of helplessness on his face...... Princess Taiping.

The familiar laughter of Princess Taiping came from the palace, and she actually appeared in the East Palace at this time.

Knowing that many people in the Mingde Palace came for the princess's marriage, she even appeared in the East Palace today.

That's what's going on.

"Crown princess, princess, the king of Nanchang has arrived." The chamberlain whispered in front of the temple gate.

"Please come in." Wei's voice came from the hall, and Princess Taiping's voice lowered for a moment.

Li Xuan's expression was gentle, then he smiled, entered the inner hall with a little drunkenness, and arched his hand: "The minister has seen the princess and the princess." ”

"Uncle Wang, please get up, come here, serve tea." Wei sat on the short couch, looked at Li Xuan in surprise, and said, "Has Uncle Wang drunk a lot of wine today?" ”

Li Xuan nodded and smiled, looked at Princess Taiping who was sitting on the side wearing a green skirt and said, "It's rare to be a good person today, so I drank a few more glasses." ”

"Oh, it seems that there are many talented people today." Wei glanced at Princess Taiping, and then asked Li Xuan, "I don't know if Uncle Wang can introduce one or two." ”

"Good!" Li Xuan took the warm tea, took a sip, and disappeared in surprise, and then looked at Wei Shi and Princess Taiping and said: "Today's everyone, throw away Yang Jiong, Du Xunyan, Lu Zhaolin, Song Zhiwen Four, others, He Zhizhang, Chen Ziang, Lu Zangyong, Bi Gou, Yang Zhiyi, Du Pengju Among the people, the first-class poet is He Zhizhang. ”

"This palace knows that He Zhizhang is the person in Uncle Wang's bag, and he has been training in Changzhou for several years, and this time His Majesty asked him to return to Beijing to participate in next year's imperial examination." Wei Shi smiled, and then said: "Then among the others, Chen Ziang, Lu Zangyong, Bi Gou, Yang Zhiyi, and Du Pengju, who does Uncle Wang think may achieve the highest achievements in the future?" ”

"Your Highness really asked the retainers when he said this." Li Xuan smiled bitterly, and then arched his hand and said: "The ministers and their highnesses are vainly talking, and the two highnesses are listening to it." ”

"Uncle Wang, please." Wei Shi looked at Li Xuan with a smile, and Princess Taiping was also curious.

Between the side movements of the body, behind Princess Taiping, a little portrait suddenly appeared, but then it was put down.

Li Xuan groaned slightly, and said: "Chen Ziang's poetry talent is also good, and his talent is outstanding, and his ancestors can be traced back to the Yingchuan Chen family, but he is a chivalrous and upright person...... However, it is easy to break if you are not careful, and you will die halfway. ”

Wei and Princess Taiping had become serious, and faintly, somewhere, they could still hear the sound of a brush wiping the paper.

Li Xuan continued to speak: "The second is Lu Zangyong, Lu Zangyong was born in the Fanyang Lu family, a big family, enough to ensure that he realizes his ambitions, but his people are easily burdened by the family, as the minister sees now, his talent is quite good, but it is rarely revealed, it seems to be hiding something, if so, then I am afraid that the future will stop at the position of assassinating history." ”

"The minister said something unkind, Fan Yang and the Lu family are full of talents, and Lu Zhao's neighbors and Lu Zangyong are all talented, but it seems that there are others in their family." Li Xuan's sentence stopped at the point.

Wei turned his head to look at Princess Taiping and said, "Princess, let's wait and see." ”

"Hmm!" Princess Taiping replied slightly.

Uncle Wang continued. Webster looked at Li Xuan again.

Li Xuan took a light breath, and then said: "After that, Bi Gou, if you say that among the people, the minister is the most optimistic, in fact, Bi Gou, Bi Gou is very knowledgeable, although the poetry is not as good as He Zhizhang, Chen Ziang and others, but he is quiet, sharp-eyed, and very courageous, plus he is from a poor family......

"Born in a humble family?" Webster couldn't help but interrupt Li Xuan.

"Hmm." Li Xuan nodded and said: "Bi Gou was born in the Dongping Bi family, and his father Bi Jing is now a member of the Hubu Langzhong, a son of a poor family, and it is easier to be a cronie of the emperor after all, so once someone discovers his talent, it will soar into the sky, and it is unlimited." ”

Wei nodded slowly, and then said, "Uncle Wang, please continue." ”

Li Xuan paused, he still had two people who didn't say it now, one was Du Pengju of the Jingzhao Du clan, and the other was Yang Zhiyi of the Hongnong Yang clan.

Li Xuan said slowly: "Du Pengju is an outstanding talent, but his talent is limited, and he is still far from the peak. ”

The mediocre also, Webster listened.

"Finally, it's Yang Zhiyi." Li Xuan frowned slightly, and said: "Yang Lang's time in Beijing is too short, and the minister has not had much contact with him, but I haven't heard of how much style he has before. ”

"I see." Wei nodded, her eyes rolled, and she spoke again: "At that time, most of the young talents were already here today, and the rest, none of the Pei family, the Xue family, the Cui family, the Li family and other clans, the prince had heard of it." ”

The corners of Li Xuan's mouth lifted lightly and said, "Your Highness forgot, there is also Webster." ”

Wei Shi smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Wei's children are not successful, so the prince should talk about other families." ”

Li Xuan's expression was calm, he looked at Princess Taiping, who was also aroused, and said: "Your Highness, the Pei family is now dominated by the two Pei Shangshu, and the brilliance of his children is completely covered, as for the Cui family and the Xue family, there are too many talents under them, it is difficult to count them all, but it is the Li family of Zhao County, and the ministers can talk more." ”

"Forget about the Zhao Jun Li family." Wei Shi hurriedly waved his hand, glanced at Princess Taiping, and then looked at Li Xuan and said, "Just now Uncle Wang said that he was writing a poem about Yongxue, I don't know if Uncle Wang has a good work?" ”

"In order not to take away everyone's glory just now, the minister didn't speak." Li Xuan smiled bitterly and arched his hand.

"Uncle Wang is still confident, as soon as he speaks, he thinks that he will steal everyone's glory." Wei glanced at Princess Taiping, who lowered her head and laughed.

Wei Shi then looked at Li Xuan and said, "Today, let the palace and the princess see the brilliance of Uncle Wang." ”

"Whoa." Li Xuan groaned slightly, and said: "The minister passed by the courtyard just now, the snow fell in the courtyard, and the winter plum blossomed, and now the new year is coming, so I will take this as the topic:

Mei Xue did not refuse to descend in the spring, and the pen fee of the Sao Ren Pavilion was commented.

The plum and snow are three points white, but the snow loses the plum and a piece of fragrance. ”

……

Plum and snow are three points white.

The snow loses the plum and a piece of incense.

Wei Shi looked at Princess Taiping, the eyes of the two were full of horror, and at this moment, the two of them were already full of Mei Xue in their minds.

No matter what poems the people in the East Palace have today, their style has been taken away by Li Xuan.
