Chapter 10: Langya Poetry Club
Xu Qingan couldn't help but shake his head and smile after hearing this, the prince of the army, it is easy to say, but if you do it, it will be even more difficult.
After all, no emperor is willing to let a brother with a heavy army, even if it is a general who has nothing to do with it, is better than a prince.
A promoted general has a heavy army, as long as the reigning emperor does not provoke the people of the world to complain, he will not dare to rebel, but as long as a prince has a chance, he can directly enter the king of Jingqin with royal blood.
Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty in the previous life is a living example, Fengtianjing could not let Zhu Yunwen, the emperor who had been sitting on the throne for a few years, step down in a hurry.
After a while, the carriage gradually stopped.
"Your Highnesses, Zizhuxuan has arrived!" The guard outside the car said.
Xu Qingan and Xu Chuan got out of the carriage.
The location of Zizhuxuan is in the northern suburbs of Chang'an, where the mountains and rivers are surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful, and it is the favorite place for literati and ink writers.
At this time, what appeared in front of Xu Qing'an was a large pavilion, surrounded by a stream outside the pavilion, and there was a bridge on it, which looked extremely exquisite and luxurious.
"I'm afraid it will cost a lot of gold and silver to build this Zizhu Xuan, right?" Xu Qingan looked at the pavilion in front of him and said.
Xu Chuan said with a smile: "That's natural, this Zizhu Xuan was built by Jia Fugui, the richest man in Chang'an, and I heard that it took 100,000 gold to complete the construction of this Zizhu Xuan!" ”
"100,000 gold?" Xu Qingan's eyes widened when he heard this.
You must know that 100,000 gold is enough to make hundreds of people live a well-off life for a lifetime, but now it is just a pavilion!
A place like Zizhuxuan is mostly literati and scholars, but after all, it is also an entertainment place, and those who usually come here are either some aristocratic and wealthy businessmen or some high-ranking officials.
Between the comings and goings, almost everyone wore brocade robes and white jade belts, and came in a carriage.
Xu Qing'an and Xu Chuan were accompanied by four forbidden army guards, although they were all regular clothes, but they could still see the killing aura coming from these four guards, plus both of them were princes, and their dresses were naturally royal standards.
Therefore, the guards in front of Zizhuxuan's door naturally did not embarrass Xu Qing'an.
Walking into the Zizhu Xuan, you can see the red silk across the air, surrounded by carved railings, candles swaying in the room, and beautiful women waiting in it, and there is a luxurious atmosphere everywhere.
"The two sons are very raw, it must be the first time to come to Zizhuxuan, right?" An older maid greeted her.
Xu Qingan nodded and said, "Yes, I came to Zizhuxuan today to hold a poetry meeting here!" ”
The maid suddenly understood, and said with a light smile: "It turns out that I also came for the Langya Poetry Club, since this is the case, the two sons should come with me." ”
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him, and as soon as Xu Chuan heard this voice, he knew that Su Qiu was also coming.
Sure enough, Su Qiu smiled at the maid and said, "Xiaocui, these two are my friends, and it just so happens that I am also here to participate in the Langya Poetry Club, just let me take them with me!" ”
When the maid known as Xiaocui saw Su Qiu, Ying Ying saluted and said, "Since it is Su Gongzi's acquaintance, then the slave maid will not disturb your Yaxing!" ”
After that, he smiled at Xu Chuan and Xu Qing'an, and then turned around and left here.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the Langya Poetry Club, this time I heard them say that the poetry meeting is to decide that the two of them will go to the Taihe Hall to participate in the literary examination with the Moguo people, and the Eighth Prince should also know about this matter, right?" Su Qiu took the lead and walked upstairs.
Xu Chuan and Xu Qingan also followed behind Su Qiu.
This Zizhuxuan has four floors, and this time the Langya poetry meeting is held on the top floor, the highest floor is a hall, the decoration here is extremely exquisite, the west side can overlook Chang'an City, the east side is facing Langya Mountain, poetic and picturesque, it is a good place to chant poetry.
When the three of them came up, the poetry meeting seemed to have begun, there were more than a dozen tables on each side, there was a screen in the center, and behind the screen sat a figure, stroking the piano, the pleasant sound of the piano slowly came from behind the screen, and everyone present was slightly closed their eyes and felt it carefully.
As soon as Xu Qingan came up, his eyes fell on a graceful figure on the left.
I didn't expect that Li Man, who had skin relatives in Zhao Wangfu, would also be here, which was really unexpected by Xu Qingan.
Li Man also seemed to feel a burning gaze, his slightly closed eyes slowly opened, and his beautiful eyes were fixed on Xu Qing'an's body, stunned, surprised, confused, all kinds of complex emotions flowed in Li Man's eyes, and finally returned to calm.
Xu Qing'an also did a good job of hiding the surprise in his eyes, and the appearance of the three interrupted the sound of the figure's piano, and everyone opened their eyes after hearing the melodious sound of the piano.
"Why did it stop?"
"Why doesn't Miss Magnolia continue to play?" Someone asked suspiciously.
It turned out that behind the screen, it was the daughter of Li Xiangru's scholar, Li Yulan.
Su Qiu laughed and said, "Miss Yulan saw us coming, so she waited for a while!" ”
When the words fell, everyone present glared angrily at Su Qiu.
But after seeing Su Qiu's face clearly, he hurriedly withdrew his gaze.
They know this most famous gentleman in Chang'an City, and if they don't beat the common people, they will arrest them and beat them!
It's just that this Su Qiu is still the grandson of Su Xuan, the current first-class military marquis, and they dare not speak out!
A young man sitting on the top left also raised his eyes to look at Su Qiu at this time, but his eyes were slightly on Xu Chuan and Xu Qingan.
I saw that the man got up from his seat and came to Xu Chuan and Xu Qing'an, bowed and said, "Yang Xuanji, the son of Yang Wenjing, the first assistant of the cabinet, has seen the Eighth Emperor and the Ninth Emperor!" ”
Yang Xuanji's words immediately surprised everyone present, and immediately got up and bowed to Xu Chuan and Xu Qingan, after all, the identities of everyone present were nothing in front of Xu Chuan and Xu Qingan.
What's more, their identities can't even compare to Yang Xuanji, and when they see Yang Xuanji bowing down, they naturally don't dare to have any careful thoughts.
Xu Qingan looked at the son of the cabinet chief assistant in front of him with interest, Yang Xuanji.
came up and moved out of his father, it's really scheming, the poetry meeting held by the son of the cabinet chief, even the prince wants to give a thin face, right?
After Xu Chuan came up, he kept staring at the back of the screen, and Xu Qingan had no choice but to return the salute and said with a light smile: "Brother Starling and I came here today just to see the poetry meeting you held, there is nothing else, and you don't have to be restrained!" ”
"And I heard that the poetry meeting held this time is also for the literary test with Moguo and the matter of winning glory for Great Xia, I believe that my father will also praise you a few words when he sees you!"
Hearing Xu Qing'an's words, the literati present suddenly became excited, yes, if they really won the first place in the literary examination with Moguo, it would be in the eyes of His Majesty, maybe His Majesty would be happy and give them an official and a half-job!
Yang Xuanji's face froze, and then he bowed slightly: "Then please take a seat with the two highnesses!" ”
Su Qiu on the side glanced at Yang Xuanji disdainfully, and then walked directly towards the seat, Xu Qingan also quickly pulled Xu Chuan to sit beside Su Qiu.
