For ink critics, the focus is on the word "comment".

Everyone in the world says that learning to become a literary and martial arts is sold to the emperor's family, but it is difficult to see the brilliance of the hidden pearls in the box, and the reality is that many people are difficult to find the step to enter the body even if they have real talents and real learning.

Since it was held for the first time three years ago, the Moyuan Literary Association has given many people a platform to show their talents.

Whether it is poetry and songs, or articles and scriptures, as long as the literati have a skill, they can come to the stage to show, and then everyone in the audience and on the second floor can comment.

After the end of the meeting, the ink garden will post the content of the ink review for seven consecutive days, and at the same time select the best works to be engraved and printed into a book and sent to all parts of the world for the world to praise and comment.

After Shen Ruiyuan stepped down from the high platform, young literati soon came to the stage one after another, and then the people below commented one after another.

The atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, but it was always orderly, and there was no dissonance, which shows that the second prince arranged this meeting very thoughtfully.

In the elegant seat on the second floor, Lu Shen looked at Xue Ruogu next to him and said, "Have you ever been here in previous years?" ”

Xue Ruogu replied calmly: "Master Hou, the lower officials already have an official body and are relatively young, so they generally do not participate in the literary meeting, so as not to attract discussions. ”

When the second prince heard this, he quipped: "This king asks people to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion every year to send posts, and every time they are politely rejected by the right minister, if it weren't for the face of Shanyang Hou this year, you would definitely not have entered the ink garden." But you're right, the ink review itself is a chance for those depressed young people, with your talent and life experience, you are destined to have a bright future, why compete with them? ”

These words are inevitably a bit profound.

Xue Ruogu said respectfully: "Your Highness praises falsely, and the ministers dare not be ashamed. ”

Lu Shen corrected his perception of the second prince in his heart.

Xue Nanting's judgment should not be wrong, the second prince will definitely have some thoughts about that chair, but this person's open-minded and frank temperament seems to be natural, without the slightest trace of an axe and chisel.

In a trance, a gust of fragrant wind quietly hit.

Lu Shen turned his head to look, and saw a young woman in a long green dress walking slowly, her face was like a bright moon, and her eyes were clear, like the spring water of a mountain stream was fresh and natural.

The second prince smiled: "Her name is Xue Susu, and she is one of the two major Oiran in Moyuan. ”

Lu Shen retracted his gaze and said calmly: "I have heard of it occasionally. ”

The second prince motioned for Xue Susu to sit beside Lu Shen to serve, and said calmly: "I know that when you entered Beijing the year before last, the Li family Saburo was willful and messed around, making everyone uncomfortable. At that time, this king was not familiar with you, so he did not come forward to mediate, but when I heard that you asked the daughter of the Li family to take Gu Wan'er to Jingzhou, Li Sanlang was so angry and helpless that this king almost couldn't breathe with laughter. ”

He glanced at Xue Susu and continued: "Don't worry, this king is not Li Sanlang's temperament, and he will not trap you in injustice, let alone force Xue Susu to redeem himself and then rely on the door of the Marquis's Mansion. Calling her over today, on the one hand, it is a little more charm to the red sleeves, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as a piece of the king's heart for you. ”

Xue Susu naturally understood the meaning of the "mind" spoken by the second prince, and she helped Lu Shen refill the wine as usual, neither pretending to be shy nor resentful.

Lu Shen said with deep meaning: "Your Highness is really too open. ”

In fact, there is no substantial difference between the second prince and Li Yunyi's original thoughts, and they are also given to the beautiful maid to win over, but compared with Li Yunyi's rough and unworthy actions, the second prince appears to be above board, and he is naturally invincible.

The second prince knew that the other party was smarter than he expected, and said more and more bluntly: "If you like her, take her back, if you don't like it, you will be treated as if the king has not said anything." ”

Lu Shen glanced at Xue Ruogu without a trace.

The Son of Heaven asked the son of the right prime minister to accompany him throughout the whole process, and it was impossible for the second prince not to know about it.

In other words, on the premise that the second prince knew that Xue Ruogu was the eyeliner of the Son of Heaven, he still had no scruples to woo Lu Shen in public, is this unscrupulous, or is there another mystery?

If it is the latter, it can only mean that the Son of Heaven is undecided on the selection of the crown prince, otherwise he would not have allowed the second prince to contact Wuxun so openly.

No matter how you look at it, the second prince doesn't seem to be such a stupid person.

Lu Shen's heart turned, and he said calmly: "Your Highness's good intentions, it is said that the minister should not push it back." It's just that the minister has already sent Gu Wan'er to Jingzhou before, if this Xue girl is left by his side, I am afraid that people will think that the minister is a hypocrite who is inconsistent with his words and deeds. ”

The second prince smiled when he heard this: "This king will not force you." To be honest, if you hadn't come, this king would really be reluctant to give Xue Susu away, after all, she is the signature of Moyuan, and I don't know how many romantic talents have spent a lot of money to see her. ”

Xue Susu lowered his head slightly, his expression and demeanor couldn't find the slightest fault, as if he didn't care that he was like an object in the mouth of this prince.

She just sighed softly in her heart.

The atmosphere in the lobby is getting more and more enthusiastic, and during this time, there have been several high-quality works, and the second prince has also commented twice with great interest, winning praise from the upper and lower halls.

At this moment, a man in his thirties with a slightly declining description stepped onto the high platform, looked around the audience and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, contemptible Lang Sanyuan, today I present a "Old Capital Fu", and please correct it." ”

His voice was very loud, but it wasn't his voice that suddenly quieted the lobby of Yashy, but the name of the article.

The old capital is endowed.

“…… Tuhuang is based on hundreds of millions of years and has a big plan. From the high and the end of the peace, the world is decorated with sublime. The fourteenth of the calendar is extended, so it is poor and extravagant. Build a golden city with ten thousand pheasants, and Zhou Chi becomes an abyss. ”

Lang Sanyuan's penetrating voice reached everyone's ears, and the expressions of some of the older literati gradually became serious.

“…… Its palace is also like heaven and earth, and the longitude and latitude are yin and yang. According to the positive position of Kun Ling, put the circle of too purple. The Huaque in the tree, the Zhu Hall of Fengguan Mountain. Because of the curiosity of the material, the rainbow beam of the dragon should be resisted. The columns are made of cloth wings, and the lotus towers are high. Carved jade to dwell, cut gold wall to decorate. Hair five-color color, light and flame to the scene. ”

In the elegant seat on the second floor, Xue Ruogu's brows furrowed, and the expression of the second prince was also a little solemn.

Although Lu Shen was not at a loss, he really didn't understand this person's article, and at this time, a soft voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Master Hou, this person's text is describing the thousands of magnificent scenes of Heluo City and the Imperial Palace."

Lu Shen turned his head to look and saw that Xue Susu's makeup was light and elegant.

He bowed his head slightly and said, "Thank you." ”

Xue Susu bowed his head and said, "Don't dare." ”

“…… Whew! The incident happened to his own poverty, and he was angry. Forgive the promise of life, and rather sit and eat with a white head? And the husband flies and loves his hometown, and the wife worries about the office. How can there be a grave and a mulberry, depending on the fatter and barren! Heaven and man cannot be wasted, and the sun and moon cannot be lost. However, what I feel at the time is not the sorrow of the migratory insects. As for the whole six flakes and the sky, Yishu almost hit the birds. ”

Lang Sanyuan walked to the edge of the high platform, his chest rose and fell, his face was full of grief and indignation, and his tone became more and more impassioned.

"Shut up!"

A loud shout suddenly sounded on the west side of the second floor.

Everyone followed the reputation, only to see an old man standing next to the railing, looking at Lang Sanyuan below and scolding sharply.

The old man's name is Fu Yunqing, born in Huzhou Boning Fu, knowledgeable and well-written, especially good at annotating scriptures and interpretations, and Shen Ruiyuan is the initiator of this year's Moyuan Literary Association.

Lang Sanyuan was forced to stop, he turned his head to look at the old man on the second floor, and said word for word: "Mr. Fu, could it be that there is something wrong with the student's article?" ”

"It's not just inappropriate!"

Fu Yunqing felt at the beginning that this old capital was intended to refer to Sang scolding Huai, and to ridicule the first emperor by using the palace matter, and immediately stopped it after hearing the latter paragraph.

If this person is allowed to continue reading, I am afraid that this year's Moyuan Literary Conference will become a swan song.

The dynasty ruled the world with loyalty and filial piety, no matter how many bad things the emperor had done, he could not sit idly by and watch someone openly ridicule his father.

It is rude to scold the Father to the Son, and the Son of Heaven is not exempt from it.

Fu Yunqing obviously understood this truth, and his expression became more and more solemn: "You are so crazy that you don't know how to be polite, and the Second Highness held the Moyuan Literary Conference for the world's talented people to have an opportunity to show their talents, but it is not for people like you to pretend to be crazy!" Don't get back now! ”

Lang Sanyuan laughed at himself, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a palace guard walking towards the high platform, and immediately said loudly: "Mr. Fu, don't force the charge, the student is only doing this to inform the world that the people of the north are also the people of Great Qi, they have paid a lot for the country, and the court should not forget them!" ”

Fu Yunqing was very angry by his words, when did the imperial court forget the people of the North?

In the past 14 years, when has the word Northern Expedition disappeared?

At this time, the second prince got up and said, "Lang Sanyuan, this king does not agree with your statement. The imperial court has never forgotten the people of the Northland, and the continuous wars on the frontier and the repeated progress of the Northern Expedition in the past two years are all clear proof. ”

Lang Sanyuan arched his hand in the direction of the second prince, and then said angrily: "Your Highness said this, the students dare not refute, but the students want to know why the Northern Expedition suddenly stopped when it won one after another?" Lu Houye led his troops to attack Heluo, why was the court unwilling to return to the old capital? Why was he forced to withdraw from Heluo? Does that tell ...... Some adults in the DPRK and China just want to be in a corner of peace and continue to enjoy glory and wealth through the protection of the Hengjiang moat. ”

In the originally noisy lobby, everyone suddenly became silent because of Lang Sanyuan's words.

The palace guards had already ascended the high platform, but they did not directly take Lang Sanyuan away, because they had not yet received clear instructions from the second prince.

The second prince said coldly: "Will this person-"

"Your Highness, the minister has a few words to ask this talented man."

Lu Shen got up and walked to the second prince's side and bowed slightly.

The second prince raised his hand and said, "Okay." ”

Lu Shen faced the high platform in the lobby, looked at the Luo Tuo literati standing on the edge of the high platform, and his voice resounded all around: "Who is Your Excellency?" ”

Lang Sanyuan responded: "Back to the Hou Ye, the student is from Ninghai, Jiangzhou. ”

Jiangzhou is located in the south of Yongjia City, bordering the vast Nu Sea in the east and Hezhou in the west.

Lu Shen pressed his hands on the railing, and under the gaze of hundreds of literati in the hall, he asked Lang Sanyuan the simplest but extremely fatal question: "The old capital fu you made, to be honest, Ben Hou didn't understand it very well, so I can't evaluate its quality or badness." However, what you said later intrigued Ben Hou, and you said that after the border army soldiers attacked Heluo, Ben Hou was forced to lead his army to withdraw from Heluo-"

Speaking of this, Lu Shen paused slightly, his eyes were as sharp as a knife: "Ben Hou wants to know, how did you know that Ben Hou was forced to withdraw from Heluo?" ”

"This ......"

Lang Sanyuan was stunned, and there was obvious panic in his eyes.

Lu Shen said slowly: "As a prince, His Royal Highness doesn't know the reason for the advance and retreat of the border army, and such national events have always been absolutely secret. You are talking in public today, and Ben Hou wants to know, who told you such top secrets? ”

Lang Sanyuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with a little difficulty: "This is just a student's guess. ”

"Oh, guess."

Lu Shen laughed expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "So you want to use such speculative words to tell the world one thing, the Son of Heaven and the princes of the court do not support the soldiers of the border army, and the so-called Northern Expedition and the so-called return to the old capital are just big lies they made up to deceive the world!" ”

The last sentence was like thunder descending on the world, and Lang Sanyuan's face turned pale.

At this moment, the second prince's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and looked at the Luotuo literati on the high platform.

In the spacious lobby, an air of murder gradually spreads.
