Otherworldly Chapter 208 Fierce Fighting Vientiane Hall 1
The West Gate of the Imperial Capital. The garrison was the first to discover the beast herd five miles away, and the black and oppressed beasts were all over the mountains. They immediately set off fireworks to warn them. But the herd came so fast that almost by the time the city guards were alerted and the beacon fire was lit, the herd had already crossed the moat and approached the city.
The vice city of Xiliang bore the brunt, and soon the west gate of the capital was full of dense beasts, including large lions, tigers, wolves, leopards, jackals, as well as small raccoons, martens, badgers, ferrets and lynxes, as well as some unrecognizable beasts. The beasts roared and ran, and the giant animals that rushed to the front slammed their hard flesh into the city gates, and the clatter shocked the defenders and woke up the people in the city!
Luo Hongchen immediately thought of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate. She was shocked that the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate actually intervened in the dispute between Prince Xinhao, so which prince did they press? She was even more shocked that the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate dared to defy the condemnation of the world and launch a beast tide to attack the city. Such disregard for the lives of ordinary people is unforgivable!
It seemed as if he felt like things were out of his control again. Yao Chengrui's face was serious, Danfeng's eyes were cloudy, and then he was full of essence, and the radius was once again densely covered with terrifying invincible coercion.
He glanced at Luo Hongchen, who was trying his best to resist the coercion, and said coldly: "The Ten Thousand Beasts Gate wants to find death. I have not yet abdicated, I dare to come to shake my country, it seems that I have not made a move for too long, and I have not taken me seriously. Anyway, then I will wash the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate in blood! I hope you didn't participate in the rebellion, this winged horse will temporarily lend you for a year, and after a year, the original will be returned, and you can go. ”
Luo Hongchen rode away. The essence in Yao Chengrui's eyes was also hidden, and he had no divine power, and he immediately changed from a top powerhouse to an ordinary person. Perhaps this is the normal state of the Divine Monk, perfect and ...... back to basics!
Yao Chengrui glanced at the top of a hall hundreds of zhang away, where a slender white shadow had just disappeared, and his eyes looked at the Sun Hall in the distance, with an intriguing look on his face.
******
The structure of the Vientiane Hall is different from that of ordinary palaces, and even if the Jinyang Hall where the emperor lives, the ordinary palace also adopts a multi-entry layout. Jinyang Hall is five entrances, there are five doors, divided into front and back sleep. The front hall is the place where the emperor is in charge of the government and receives the ministers, and the back hall is the sleeping palace.
The biggest difference between the Vientiane Hall is that there is no distinction between primary and secondary, only a huge hall, and such a large space is suitable for holding large-scale activities such as the Jade Seal Cultural Meeting.
Thousands of literati students, scholars, officials and businessmen came to participate in the "Jade Chapter Spring Festival" literary meeting. Literati gather in the Vientiane Hall for cultural exchanges, ideological collisions, and even the assessment of national policies and decrees, allowing students to freely express their opinions and debate, which is a grand gathering of wise men.
The young students were especially excited, enjoying the wonderful performances of the famous singers, and witnessing the affectionate poems, inspiring words, and guiding the ...... of contemporary celebrities.
Here, talented students hope to be recognized by contemporary writers, appreciated by officials, and admired by beautiful ladies, and they all compete to show themselves. This is a gathering of the best literature and art, and people are eager to express themselves.
On the stage in the middle of the main hall, more than a dozen clerks are busy recording exquisite poems and gorgeous articles, and they are trying to write down those exquisite opinions and comments, for fear of missing a word.
Looking at the literary event in full swing under his own auspices, the second prince Yao Rui was full of national ambition. He always had a smile on his face, while feeling the glory of the stars holding the moon, and politely responded to every literary celebrity, official and business celebrity who came forward to congratulate, with a modest and polite attitude.
From the lively atmosphere of the climax of the meeting, this is undoubtedly a successful event. Although the specific rules are in charge of the Ministry of Rites, the second prince is the person in charge, which also proves the second prince's outstanding organizational skills and adds a strong touch to his political achievements. The second prince is in a good mood: his father should be very satisfied with his performance, and he should be closer to the position of the crown prince.
The sky outside the hall is cold and frozen, and the palace is warm like spring, which is in response to the scene of "Jade Chapter Welcoming Spring".
Younger students can talk about state affairs and the disadvantages of the times without restraint, but older literati really cannot be so wanton, although they will not move when commenting on articles and expressing opinions, they will talk about the ancient sages and sages, still quote scriptures, and be much more cautious in their words. The young man praised it, but he might be scolding the "old pedant" and "rotten Confucian" in his heart.
For example, Sun Chongshan, Qin Cangyue and others are also Xinhao's contemporary Confucians, but they are in official positions, they are more careful in their speech, and they do not speak easily.
There are also a lot of literati from Yunze, Tianchuan and other races outside the Saiwai in the Wenhui, Yunze and Tianchuan are just that, there are so many people from other tribes present, and the two princes are happy, which means that after 20 years of hard work, the influence of "Yuzhang Yingchun" has spread to the outside of the territory.
These literati each represented different countries, and they also had a desire to compete with each other. Especially young students, they all want to kill the spirit of students from other countries, and all parties come and go, and they don't give in to each other. The controversy was as fierce as the competition between the monks.
The three new talents in the imperial capital, Li Kaiyuan, Zhang Guanghan and Lin Guodong, are naturally the main representatives of Xinhao's students. Li Kaiyuan lived up to expectations, and every time he attacked Yun Ze Shizi, the Wenhui quickly evolved into a literary competition. The literati were divided into different factions according to the countries they represented, comparing poetry, fighting talents, and debating ideas, not only sticking to literature, but focusing on the people's livelihood in the world.
In the eyes of others, Zhang Guanghan is as sorry as yesterday, and he is still a little absent-minded, so he has no good products, and his performance is far inferior to Li Kaiyuan. This made many Xinhao students very dissatisfied, thinking that his talent was not worthy of the name.
Lin Guodong did not deliberately show off this time, nor did he hide his clumsiness, he behaved decently, and in the face of the provocation of foreign students, he swayed freely, and did not regard it as a competition between countries at all. He is quick-witted and eclectic, earning a lot of applause and applause. He recited an essay on current politics and a new poem with a good artistic conception, which was not so impressive that it still received a lot of appreciation. His literary talent faintly overshadowed Li Kaiyuan, not to mention Zhang Guanghan, who had a mediocre performance, and became the leader of Xinhao's young scholars.
The young and beautiful ladies and beauties of the city are all present, and the young students of Xinhao are passionate, for them, if they can have outstanding performance, they can not only frustrate the spirit of Yunze students, but also become famous overnight, and maybe they can also have a double harvest of career and love. Therefore, all of them are like chicken blood, even if the inventory is emptied, they can still be thought of and wonderful articles appear frequently.
Many young ladies and beauties received the essays of young talents, and they confessed with poems, which attracted countless envious cheers. The elders of these young ladies' families were not displeased or blamed, but they were also happy to be admired by their daughters.
The ladies of the Sun family, the Qin family, and the horse clan all received poems from many admirers, and almost the most beautiful Sun Xiuxiu, Qin Ziyan and a few other glamorous women in the audience got nothing, perhaps their outstanding talent or amazing beauty made these pretentious talents afraid and lost the courage to confess.
Even Lin Guodong, who is well-known and has a crush on Qin Ziyan, did not take the initiative to write poems to please the beauty this time. Only a few people knew that he was frustrated by Su You in front of Qin Ziyan yesterday in his good field, and he felt decadent in his heart, could he have flinched like this?
People in the know can't help but despise Lin Guodong, and Lin Dacai also has times when he loses the battle. Some people secretly ridiculed, and some people breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Ziyan has a supreme position in the hearts of the vast majority of Xinhao students, like a goddess. The students were ashamed of themselves in front of her amazing color and talent, and they didn't dare to talk to her, let alone pursue it. They took it for granted that Lin Guodong had given up, and at the same time they were sad that they couldn't compare to Lin Guodong, at least Lin Guodong dared to take action, but they didn't even have the courage to try.
Qin Ziyan was dressed in a light purple embroidered dress, beautiful and white-skinned, and as elegant as an orchid. Next to him is Sun Xiuxiu, who is dressed in black with a broken yellow flower dress and covers the imperial capital, the two have similar temperaments, the same quiet as a quiet orchid, and the beauty is amazing.
Under the watchful eye, the two goddesses are at ease, and occasionally whisper to comment on the poems of a certain talent. In the eyes of the young ladies of the Qin, Sun, Ma and other clans around her, Qin Ziyan was comparable to Mr., and they asked her to comment on the poems she received.
Qin Ziyan held Xin Tong in one hand, and took the poem that the young lady came forward to ask for advice in the other. She has a warm temperament, and when she evaluates it, she also praises and disparages it too much, and is very literate. The students who gave poems to these three young ladies looked at this side with their eyes open, and when they saw that their favorite young lady was shy, they could naturally guess that Qin Dacai gave a positive evaluation of their works, and they were both grateful and happy.
It was because she was pestered by Xintong that she couldn't bring her. Qin Wentao was relieved to hand over his daughter to his aunt, so he dared to chase Su Xiaoman. On the other side of Xin Tong was also standing an extremely beautiful woman, Qin Ziqin, the daughter of Qin Ziyan's uncle Qin Jiangshan. The eldest uncle has two sons and a daughter, Qin Ziqin is the youngest daughter, one year younger than Qin Ziyan. Her appearance is not below her cousin, but her temperament is very different from that of her quiet and elegant cousin, giving people a lively and cheerful feeling.
The place where they stood became the focus of the young men's eyes! There are also several focal points in the main hall, which is also a gathering place for beautiful women. A group of pretentious wealthy scholars frequently go in and out of the places where these beauties gather, such as the person who won the second place in the instrument sect in the big weapon competition, named Yingcheng, and Chen Rixin, Xia Yuan, Chen Weizhang and others who have troubled Su You linger in these beauty circles.
Su You also had a conflict with that Chen Rixin last time. Most of the sons of aristocratic and wealthy families in the imperial capital know that Chen Rixin is a gentleman, and the son next to him who is clear-eyed, radiant, and younger-looking is more concerned, and people who are familiar with the Chen family know that this second young master Chen Yueyi is the most likely successor of the Chen family in the future. Chen Yue is very personable and noisy with the people around him, he doesn't talk much, but he has a steadiness that does not match his age, and his personality is also gentle, which is very different from his brother's publicity.
The cultural meeting is coming to an end, and the stage programs are almost performed, and the stage has basically been staged.
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites took the stage to announce the list of winners of the literary performance: excellent works have been selected in the song and dance category, "Mulan Love" won the best without suspense, Qinfu Music Garden took the limelight, but Su Xiaoman, who was the protagonist, actually left the stage early.
The imperial examinations, cultural propaganda, music, singing and dancing are all under the control of the Ministry of Rites. Yao Chengzu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, glanced at the Qin clan with some displeasure. Yao Chengzu is a high-ranking and powerful relative of the emperor, so he can give the Qin family a face, and he also has reasons for dissatisfaction: the Qin family is the head of the literati, and the performance at the literary meeting tonight is indeed remarkable, Qin Cangyue, the prince of the Zijin Palace, sits firmly like a mountain, and barely makes many remarks, Qin Wentao and Qin Ziyan, who are the most famous among the younger generation, do not write poems, Qin Ziyan is a woman after all, and frequently letting her take the stage to write will make Yunze Tianchuan students laugh at Xinhao's literati Yin and Yang decline. But Qin Wentao actually left the scene early, and Yao Chengzu was naturally angry.
It was precisely because of the Qin people's "inaction" that Yao Shilang encountered trouble in the selection of essays. He naturally wants to affirm more of the works of Xinhao's students, but he can't open his eyes and say nonsense, he still cares about the reputation of the Ministry of Rites, and cultural propaganda must be fair and just, and cannot be criticized.
Sure enough, when Yao Shilang hesitated, a Yunze scholar interrupted him and said, "Cao Feiyang, a disciple of Yunze Guozi Jian Miaozhangtai, is polite. In the next suggestion, the essay evaluation can be decided later, and the students heard that Sun Taixue made a poem to set the storm, and Miss Qin also had a poem about Mulan. These two masterpieces are really only heard in Cao's life, so Cao is full of expectations for this Yuzhangwen meeting, but no one in Xinhao's students can give much surprise to the inferior, Sun Taixue and Miss Qin did not even come up with another work, which made the next regret and puzzled ....... ”
Throwing out these words, he paused, but the last sentence obviously revealed the questioning of Sun Chongshan and Qin Ziyan's talents, and it may also be a radical general.
Sun Chongshan and Qin Ziyan didn't react, but Xinhao's students were already unhappy.
Lin Guodong took the lead in counterattacking, and he stepped forward and said, "Brother Cao said as if your performance tonight was very amazing. I don't know which of your works can be compared with the works of Sun Taixue and Miss Ziyan? ”
The scholar named Cao Feiyang is white and clean, with a graceful demeanor, and a strong bookish atmosphere. Hearing this, his white face turned red, and he retorted: "At least it's not slightly worse than Brother Lin, why don't we compete again?" ”
The students of the two countries began to heckle and threatened to continue. The number of Tianchuan students was small, and they stood by and watched, but their eyes lit up. In fact, among the Three Kingdoms, in terms of learning and influence in the literary world, Yun Ze deserves to be the first, Xin Hao's second son, and Tianchuan again. Tianchuan is weak, but the momentum cannot be weak.
Another young scholar with an excellent image and the appearance of the leader of the Yunze literati came out of the ranks, waved the jade fan in his hand, and made a "snap" sound, and said: "The common topics of the Wenhui have basically come out, and the only thing missing is the recitation of the flower question, I think it is that the wonderful poems of "peony" and "hundred flowers killing" have just been transmitted, so His Royal Highness the Second Prince and Yao Shilang did not have any more flower questions. Why don't we wait and compete with Yonghua works? ”
This person is famous Lou Sihuai, has outstanding literary talents, enjoys a high reputation in Yunze, and is also a disciple of Yunze Guozijian. There were two excellent works before, a poem and a word, which complemented each other and caused a sensation.
Xinhao students listened to him propose to decide the final victory with the theme of "flowers", guessing that he must be confident, but he was not afraid, Li Kaiyuan, Chen Weizhang and others echoed one after another.
Chen Rixin unexpectedly agreed loudly: "Under Chen Rixin, forget the old, let me come first!" He strode onto the stage and recited his flower poem.
"Xingle Sanyang is early, Fangfei is in February and spring.
The boudoir is red and pink, and the flower man is strange. ”
Well, this poem is actually quite good, and the beauty is also relevant. The people of Xinhao in the hall were all stunned, they knew what kind of goods this Chen Rixin was, and most people knew that his word was "forget the old", and they really didn't think that he really had a song.
However, it soon became clear that these were pre-prepared poems, and that none of them were written by him, but by someone else. Of course, people look down on Chen Rixin, and they will not dismantle him at this time, and they cheered and cheered. Yao Shilang, who was standing on the stage, was also a little surprised, and applauded with a smile.
When did Chen Rixin receive such glory, he was in a good mood. Indeed, as one might guess, this is indeed a poem that he prepared in advance. But there were no flowers in the poem all night, but he was in a hurry, thinking that the opportunity to be in the limelight was about to be wasted again. I really didn't want the Yunze students to come out to stir up trouble again, so he gave him the opportunity to take out the flowers, and at this time he already had a good impression of the two Yunze students, and he thought that he would invite them to have a drink when he went back.
There are also many young ladies and female performers in the hall, and some of them cast admiring eyes at Chen Rixin, which made Chen Rixin even more excited.
Seeing Chen Rixin attract the attention of so many beauties. Many students in the Three Kingdoms couldn't help it, and they took the stage to write poems, and the literary fight was staged again.
