Chapter Twenty-Six: The Poetry Meeting (Three Watches)
His Majesty the Emperor Bai Yu finally agreed to Xue Zha's suggestion, at this stage, he couldn't think of any other way to break the situation, and it was really not that easy to disrupt Yang Sanyuan's plan to collude with the inside and outside at once.
That night, Deng Tao didn't sleep all night, he and several brocade guards bosses wrote a night of invitations, early in the morning, he yawned and distributed these red invitations to the various brocade guards, telling them: "It's all sent to me, who dares not to come, give me an embroidered spring knife to drive the neck and force me to come!"
"Yes!"
Thousands of brocade guards bowed and agreed, and that scene made Deng Tao, an important minister of the White State who dared to be a little old in front of Xue Zha, regain a little vigor at this moment.
He had breakfast with a few deputy commanders, and then hurried to the palace.
The scene of this poetry meeting is in the Qiuhua Hall in the palace, and the work of arranging the scene is done by the eunuchs of the East Factory, but the West Factory is not idle, as soon as Deng Tao attacks today, he feels that behind every tree in the palace and in every sewer, there are ground rats squatting in the West Factory.
"Hey...... Compared with the East Factory, the West Factory is raised by the stepmother......"
Deng Tao sighed casually, but was startled by a lawn under his feet.
"What Hou Ye said, if Your Majesty doesn't trust us in the West Factory, how can he put the people in the East Factory as a target in the open, but we in the West Factory are secretly ready to attack at any time. ”
Deng Tao looked at the lawn that was lifted from below, snorted speechlessly, and turned around and left without saying anything.
What else can he say: Xichang people have such a sense of honor, what can he say?
"If the East Factory is the target, what are we Jinyiwei?"
Deng Tao muttered, and directly found His Majesty the Emperor.
Bai Yu was drinking tea with Xue Zha, as soon as Deng Tao arrived, the eunuch of Dongchang also set up a tea cup for him, and the three of them sat down to sip and talk about today's topic.
"Brother Xue, I did it for you, this old brother of the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Club, I may not be able to grow a face, but it's up to you!"
"Don't worry, brother, I have a lot of Mid-Autumn Festival poems in my stomach, and I will never let them have half a chance of winning. ”
Xue Zha patted his chest and promised.
Deng Tao was so unhappy when he heard it, he snorted and asked: "There are so many people, as well as foreign envoys, the lowest is a bachelor's degree, it is estimated that many great Confucians and Hanlin will have to appear, just rush at you Seven or eight days ago, as long as they still have face, there will be ruthless people today." ”
"You don't understand, do you...... Dare to ask the little marquis, do you know what it means to 'take the lead in taking the lead'?"
When Xue Zha said "take the lead in seizing people", he did not use his mental power, and he had not fully mastered this Wang Jing idiom, with his thinking, he planned to do a good job at the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting tonight, and then make a Wang Jing idiom to play.
Emperor Bai Yu stroked his palms and laughed: "Brother Xue is worthy of being Brother Xue, it's only been a few days, and he has come up with a Wang Realm idiom." ”
"Although I haven't heard of this idiom story, but I think that my brother can give us a live version of it in the evening, right?"
Xue Zha, he nodded, he wanted to let this group of readers know: what is the true meaning of politics!
That night, the palace was lit up with lights, and all the officials of the White Kingdom Capital either came willingly, or were forced by the people of the Jinyi Guard to use embroidered spring knives around their necks.
But as scholars, their cultivation is all there, arching their hands and smiling at each other, there is the vassal elegance, and the folding fan is shaking in the late autumn season, and the people who look at the East Factory, the West Factory, and the Jinyi Wei laugh.
Song Zhenyu followed his uncle Song Xian to arrive, but he looked around absentmindedly, he still couldn't get rid of the taste of the woman this afternoon, and now, when he closed his eyes, it was still the bewitching body line of the white palace master.
"Zhenyu, this is Mei Shangshu, he greets you, don't be rude!"
Song Xian glared at his nephew, he didn't understand why this young man, who was usually very alert, kept yawning today.
Mei Shangshu was followed by Mei Lin, a handsome boy who could be counted among the young people in the White Country, as soon as he appeared, he was like a bright light in the dark night, dazzling.
Song Zhenyu snorted, he saluted Mei Shangshu one by one, but he turned a blind eye to Mei Lin behind Mei Shangshu.
The two older officials of Bai Guo and Yun Guo laughed and separated with their sons and nephews, and then quietly asked them.
Merlin said to his father, "Father, he seems to be jealous of my looks. ”
Song Zhenyu said to Song Xian: "Uncle, I think that kid is very eye-catching. ”
Mei Shangshu and Song Xian both smiled noncommittally, tonight, they are still on the same front, after all, Xue Zha is too high-profile, and his approach to Yang Sanyuan is a bit insulting to the entire group of readers.
In addition to all the officials in the capital, there are also a lot of nobles tonight.
These nobles are all headed by Deng Tao, and they all revolve around His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Prince, take a look at the surnamed Xue in a while, he doesn't take His Majesty seriously at all, you must talk to Your Majesty, that will be a shame for our Bai Kingdom!"
"Prince, I heard that the second prince will also appear today, he has been so low-key recently, but this time he is coming to participate in such a grand poetry meeting, it is difficult to say if he has any plans?"
"Prince, look, that is the envoy of Yun Kingdom, look at the young man who follows him, it is said that Song Zhenyu, the first genius of Yun Kingdom, seems to be stronger than Huo Yunpeng of our country, but I don't know if I can compare to King Xuanwu. ”
..................
The prince sat quietly among the nobles, listening to them say various positions to him, and he smiled and nodded the whole time, but never said anything.
This is a big magic weapon for Bai Chi to keep the position of the crown prince, if you want not to make mistakes, you have to talk less, the key is not to casually let people figure out your attitude.
He was specially asked by his father to participate in the poetry meeting this time, and he also prepared some poems.
Although he also knew that his poetry attainments could not be compared with those Hanlin and Great Confucians, he thought that he could write poetry as a royal child, and this should add a lot of points to the "future national army of the White Country......
As for that Xuanwu King Xue Zha, his holy way coincides with his own, so there is no need for him to be evil, not to mention that he can't beat him if he wants to clean him up!
The crown prince was thinking about various aspects when he suddenly heard a shrill eunuch voice shouting.
"His Majesty the Emperor arrives in ......"
"King Xuanwu arrives in ......"
The scene of the poetry meeting was instantly quiet, and everyone returned to the seats on both sides of the split, waiting for the only two noble people in the audience.
The crown prince Bai Chi frowned slightly and got up, he felt: Xue Zha shouldn't be following closely behind his father, he should have arrived early, his father is the most important person in the finale, now this is ......
He didn't wait to think about it, and saw his father appear holding Xue Zha's hand, one of them was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and the other was wearing a black python robe, and the two of them were each wearing the crown of the king of language that represented the strength of the king of language.
Crown Prince Bai Chi's heart was settled after seeing the nine gems on his father's crown, and when he looked at the three gems on Xue Zha's crown, he seemed to understand something
"The father is worthy of being the father, and he actually appeared in this way, which not only shows his love for King Xuanwu, but also shows his strength, just looking at the number of those gems, no one will think that the father will be better than Xue Zharuo!"
The crown prince Bai Chi nodded and managed a wave of self-comfort, which made him look at Xue Zhe's eyes, no longer having the pickiness that others expected, but a lot of pity.
