Chapter 142: Appearance
There was silence in the quiet courtyard, Li Yu looked directly into Yan Nubi's eyes, and after a long time, he gently opened his lips and said slowly: "You can't do it without strong reinforcement outside." Longqing has the Xiling Temple hidden in the rear, if you are willing to Brother Chongming, I believe that my father will never mind sending a letter of state to your father. In this world, there is only the Tang Empire that has the strength to compete with the Xiling Temple. However, hearing this, Prince Yan was not moved, let alone ecstatic, but fell into a long silence.
"Although I don't understand that the Xiling Shrine is a well, and I agree with the Prince of Longqing to enter Chang'an City to take you as a hostage, and I don't want to think about the purpose of Prince Longqing's intention to enter the second floor of the academy, I only know that the current situation is extremely beneficial to you, and it is difficult for him to remotely control Chengjing in Chang'an, isn't it your chance?"
Li Yu looked at Prince Yan's slightly drooping eyelashes, and said calmly: "Xiling Temple is indeed a wonderful and holy place, the big man of the Adjudication Division is indeed very remarkable, taking such a figure as a proton, maybe many people in the Great Henan Jin Dynasty are laughing at me for the absurdity of the Tang Dynasty, but these people don't know at all that there is only one place in the world that has enough ability to take care of the No. 2 person in the Adjudication Division as a hostage, and that place is the Academy." Prince Yan finally broke the silence, raised his head and looked at Li Yu's eyes with a solemn expression, and said, "The problem is that as far as I know, even if it is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, his influence on the academy is extremely limited, if the dean does not want to restrict Longqing's personal freedom, but let Longqing have more benefits in the second floor, how can I deal with myself?", Li Yu frowned slightly, and replied softly: "After all, the academy is in Chang'an City, you don't have to worry too much." ”
"It's not about worrying too much. Prince Yan replied calmly: "I know better than anyone what a proud person Long Qing is, people like him are willing to give up their pride and agree to accept the assessment before they can enter the second floor of the academy, which means that the academy is a very important place for him, and what Long Qing is best at is to turn all the people or things that he thinks seem important into his help." ”
"Are you worried that if Long Qing enters the second floor of the academy, the people in the academy will support him?", Li Yu shook his head firmly, and said calmly: "The academy never even interferes in the internal affairs of the empire, not to mention the battle for the throne of a foreign country. ”
Yanzitai shook her head and smiled bitterly and said, "Anyway, I always feel that it is not a good thing to let him enter the second floor of the academy." "If it was a pure bad thing for Longqing and Xiling, they would not have agreed to their father's request a few months ago. Li Yu thought for a while, and suddenly frowned and said to himself: "If he can't enter the ...... of the second floor", "I heard that there is a great talent from the Southern Jin Dynasty in the academy ............", Prince Yan muttered.
The two looked at each other for a moment, then shook their heads almost simultaneously. This time, the second floor of the academy was opened, and it was clearly stated that only one person would be accepted, in fact, because of this handover hidden behind the scenes, that position was originally prepared for the prince of Longqing, and with that person's ability, even if they could arrange some competitors, "it was not enough to shake the other party."
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps on the wooden corridor outside the quiet deep house, Prince Yan glanced at Li Yu with an inquiring eye, and Li Yu replied with a smile: "Hua Shanyue and several of his comrades. ”
As soon as the words fell, Hua Shanyue, the commander of Gushan County, who was dressed in military uniform, and several officers beside him walked into the long hall, first saluted Li Yu with a fist, and then saw Prince Yan.
The maid re-established the wine case, and several people from Huashanyue sat down according to the order, and the house returned to quiet.
Li Yu looked at Prince Yan calmly and said, "This palace ordered Captain Hua to hurry back to Chang'an" is thinking that before Brother Chongming you leave, the two sides will meet each other. "The last general will be stationed in Hebei Province all the year round, and may be transferred from Gushan County to Sanyin County after the year. Hua Shanyue added.
Shanyin County is in the southeast of Minshan Mountain, close to Yan Realm, and the soldiers of the Tang Empire stationed in this county are not as terrible as the border army led by General Xiahou in the north, but they are the closest armed forces in the Tang Dynasty to Chengjing, the capital of Yan State.
In the early years, "Prince Yan had seen Hua Shanyue and knew that he was a fanatical admirer of the fourth princess Li Yu, and he was the key training object of the younger generation of the Tang Dynasty military, so he could naturally think that Li Yu had rushed to call this person back to Beijing from thousands of miles away" was not to see him off, but to hide a deeper meaning.
Hearing Hua Shanyue personally admit that he would be transferred to Shanyin County next year, Prince Yan instantly understood what Li Yu meant. He looked at the wine bottle on the case and fell into a long thought, although there was no expression fluctuation on his face, the inner struggle and conflict had reached the extreme, and after a long time, he said in a low voice in a hoarse voice: "If things don't develop to the last step, I will definitely not use your move." ”
Li Yu replied calmly: "If you don't have to go to the last step, then everyone will naturally be happy, but if you really go to the last step, I hope that Brother Chongming will have the courage to have no regrets when you fall into the country, I want you to understand that this is not only for the benefit of my Datang, I hope you can get what belongs to you." ”
The so-called farewell is just a final endorsement of certain transactions and promises, although there must be a friendship that has known each other for ten years, but after all, it involves the family and the country, once the surface warmth is torn off, it is difficult for the banquet to return to the original smile and smile, and the scene is a little embarrassing for a while.
Hua Shanyue remembered what he had seen outside the mansion before, and said with a smile: "The terrace by the lake of Deshengju has been packed by people today, and it is very noisy there, but it is much more lively than ours here. ”
"Oh?", Li Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked curiously: "Who is so big?", when she said this, she didn't realize that she had contracted all the most quiet and expensive back houses in Deshengju, which was the real big deal, after all, she was the most beloved princess of the Tang Dynasty, how could anyone compare with her?
"It's the current class of students of the academy, Situ Yilan and Wucai are among them, when they met before, she also said that she would come to toast later, I thought that His Royal Highness made a special trip to see off Prince Chongming today, I don't know if it's convenient, so I didn't respond. "The students of the academy are my Tang Dynasty or the whole day, what's the harm in meeting them in this palace?" Princess Li Yu, who is known for her virtuous and virtuous talents, naturally would not miss such an opportunity to gather the hearts of young talents, looked at Prince Yan with a smile, and said, "I believe that Brother Chongming also wants to meet the new students in the academy, right?"
"That's nature. Prince Yan nodded quietly.
The students of the academy who were drinking and having fun on the lakeside terrace did not completely forget the previous reprimand of Hua Shanyue, but he was a military lieutenant and a senior of the academy, and those words were sharp and ruthless, but the words were down-to-earth, and there was nowhere to refute "So they can only be dumb and endure" to comfort themselves in the name of the senior brothers.
After the victory is called, the nobles of the house are called, and the original so-called pride is indeed not suitable for the attack in Chang'an City, this magical city, casually in the side alley to puff is possible to meet a small prince who has also drunk too much, "In the tea shop to brag about a bull, it is possible to meet a certain prince from the Minglun country, and he and others just want to get together from the beginning, but they actually ran into Her Royal Highness the Tang Princess to feast farewell to Prince Yan......"
The victory residence covers an extremely wide area, and the back house is the ancestral property left by an old imperial historian in the kamikaze years, accommodating two or three hundred people, but after all, it is Her Royal Highness the princess who summons her, "How can there be a reason for all the academy students to line up to ask for peace and turn the quiet courtyard into a vegetable market?" It is just to choose some students with good grades and good reputation on weekdays as representatives, and among the representatives, there are naturally six people from the technical department headed by Xie Chengyun, Zhong Dajun and other famous people, as well as Situ Yilan, Chu Zhongtian and other children of Chang'an magnates, as well as someone.
When the students of the academy entered the quiet mansion, Li Yuzheng was talking to Prince Yan in a low voice, and suddenly her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her eyes subconsciously looked over, and sure enough, she saw that familiar and hateful face at the end of the crowd.
For most of the past half a year, she often called Sang Sang to the princess's mansion to talk to her, but she never saw Ning Que again, but through various ways, Ning Que's actions in the academy still kept entering her ears.
She knew about the mid-term examination gambling contract, and knew that he was later ostracized by her college classmates, but she never spoke, but she never spoke, but she met during the trip, "What happened to a student of the college, where is it enough to attract her attention? Even if she wants to, she can't show it many times."
"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
"I've seen Prince Chongming. Xie Chengyun, Zhong Dajun, and Linchuan Wang Ying stood in front of the quiet corridor of the house, and saluted the two nobles on the table in turn, and replied several times, "Zhusheng is good, especially Xie Chengyun and Wang Ying's words are quite clear, Li Yu feels more satisfied, but it is a pity that Xie Sangongzi is from the Southern Jin Dynasty and not from the Tang Dynasty.
"Brother Chongming, what do you think of my young generation of talents in the Tang Dynasty?" Li Yu asked with a smile as he looked at Prince Yan.
Prince Yan smiled slightly and responded: "The Tang Dynasty is in the four seas, and the academy is a sacred place for the ages, which is naturally extraordinary. ”
At this moment, a noisy sound suddenly sounded outside the quiet backyard of the victorious residence, with the sound of obstruction and the sound of reprimand, "It seems that someone is rushing straight to this side." Li Yu looked at the passage hidden behind the bamboo outside the corridor, and did not say a word with a small wine glass between his fingers, "but the tips of his eyebrows frowned slightly, and Hua Shanyue, who was sitting on the two-foot seat behind her, had a solemn expression, and shouted loudly: "Who is so bold that he dares to intrude on the place where His Highness feasts!"
The noise outside the courtyard quickly turned into a sound that was still messy but represented a completely different meaning, and the sound of silk and bamboo in the bamboo grove behind the corridor suddenly became chaotic and out of tune, faintly interspersed with the girl's cry of surprise, and the sound of the reporter knocking over the banquet when he was shocked to pass the word, and then these voices all disappeared in the next moment.
The silence of the house, under the rain corridor, beside the bamboo wall, there was no sound, and it became silent, quiet and palpitating, except for the footsteps that fell on the stone path and seemed to fall on the hearts of people.
The sound of footsteps coming slowly from outside the courtyard did not belong to only one person, and it was not neat, but the ears of everyone in the courtyard seemed to hear the footsteps of only one of them, and the footsteps were unusually steady, and they could release a very strong taste of pride just from their hearing, as if he was stepping on the heavenly path leading to the sky with every step.
The boss of the victory house with a painful and helpless look on his face walked in front like a poor little guy, although taking outsiders straight to the banquet place of the fourth princess was undoubtedly the fastest way to die, but at this time, these guests behind him were also very large, and the more important thing was that the reason that the other party came up with could not be refuted at all.
Walking on the stone path was Zeng Jing, a scholar of the Tang Dynasty Wenyuan Pavilion, a member of the court who was deeply trusted by His Majesty and the Empress, with a happy smile on his face, and he couldn't see the true feelings.
On the right hand side of Scholar Zeng Jing was a middle-aged man wearing a black Taoist robe and wearing the Haotian Divine Sword at his waist.
The Tang Empire knows that although the relationship between the queen mother and the fourth princess is not incompatible, but because of the succession to the throne in the future, it is naturally in the hostile camp......
Scholar Zeng Jing and Priest Mo Li came hand in hand, according to the Taoist theory, they were destined to attract the attention of everyone in the courtyard, but in fact, at this time, everyone's eyes fell on the young man behind the two.
There is a kind of person in the world who naturally has a certain charm, even if he is a stubborn young man covered in mud among thousands of people, even if he is an ordinary-looking girl among the pious disciples of the Black Pressure Knocking Mountain, no matter how low-key and silent he walks in the crowd, no matter how many glorious and dazzling big people around him, as long as he is in that picture, then when you look at him, you will definitely see him for the first time, and then you can't take your eyes off.
The young man in the crowd was such a man. He was about twenty years old, wearing the lifeless Taoist uniform of the Xiling Divine Temple's adjudication division, wearing an ordinary sword at his waist, and his steps were smooth and steady.
The handsome eyebrows and eyes are as impeccable as in the legend, reflecting the faint sky light leaking from the treetops, shaking the lingering catkins, and the prince of Longqing appeared in people's field of vision, like a god.
There was not the slightest negativity on his face, he was calm, but like the rhythm of his footsteps that was clear to the rigid, everyone in the room felt his pride, the pride hidden deep in his body that he disdained to show.
After a short period of silence, the people in the empty and quiet courtyard subconsciously stood up to greet each other, and the students of the academy instantly guessed the identity of this person, their faces showed a faint bewilderment, their eyes were slightly uneasy, and their feelings were extremely complicated.
Li Yu, who was sitting on the top seat, lowered his eyes slightly, the surprised cold and vigilant look in his eyes flashed, and the eyes of Prince Yan, who was sitting opposite her, were more complicated, a little embarrassed and a little sad, and then slowly stood up, with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "Longqing...... ,... It's been years. ”
At this time, Ning Que, who had been sitting in the most remote corner of the courtyard and kept complaining that kneeling etiquette was really not in line with the human body, finally noticed these unclear guests, opened his mouth to look at the outstanding Prince Longqing in the crowd, and exclaimed: "This is really a thunderous click, and the male pig's horn finally shines." ”!~!
