Chapter 16 A House Full of Young Guests
On the third day after the Xishan Field Hunt, Emperor Yi of the Son of Heaven really issued an order to summon the outstanding young man in the field hunt to enter the palace and set up a banquet in the Xianqing Palace. Li Jing, Huang Feihu and Yang Ren, the three outstanding people who bestowed the golden arrow from Emperor Yi, won the honor of being summoned by a special person.
Because he had already received the news from his future father-in-law Yin Zhongda, Li Jing had prepared to stop in advance, and after receiving the order, he did not delay, and after bidding farewell to his parents, he rode to the palace on the Black Flame Horse. When the horse arrived at the noon gate, Li Jing saw from afar that there were already a few teenagers waiting there, one of them was tall and big, and he felt like he stood out from the crowd, it was Huang Feihu.
"Brother Huang came early!" Li Jing greeted from afar, turned over and dismounted.
There was a waiting little chamberlain next to him who came over to pick up the reins of the horse in Li Jing's hand. The Black Flame Pony swayed his head and hissed low, spewing out two streaks of scorching smoke from his nostrils. The little chamberlain, who was no more than ten years old, was startled and cowered and did not dare to step forward.
"Little Black, be honest!" Li Jing stroked the neck of the black flame horse and whispered a few words, then turned his head to the little servant and said, "This beast has a violent temperament, and it frightened the little father-in-law, so I'm so sorry." I've taught it a lesson, so you can just take it with you, but it's best to leave it alone. As he spoke, the man had already stepped forward, and there was a gold leaf in his left hand, which was placed in the hand of the little chamberlain unconsciously under the cover of his sleeve.
The little chamberlain glanced at the corner of his eye, and saw the golden brilliance reflected in his hand, and his heart was overjoyed. Patting his chest promised that he would take care of the Black Flame Pony, and boldly stepped forward to take the reins.
Huang Feihu over there had already stepped up to meet Li Jing when he saw him, and when he got closer, he arched his hand and smiled: "Brother Li, I don't know if you have taken care of your family affairs clearly? Why don't you get together in the cold house tomorrow? Little brother can't wait to experience Brother Li's skills for himself!"
At the banquet after the end of the field hunt three days ago, Li Jing had already officially met Huang Feihu. Both of them are cool people, and after three glasses of wine, they can be considered acquainted. In particular, Huang Feihu is a person who is obsessed with martial arts, he originally thought that there should be no one in the younger generation of Chaoge who can compete with him in martial arts, and when he saw Li Jing's means of fighting and killing wolves, he realized that there are people outside the world, and he admired it in his heart, and he also had the intention of discussing and asking for advice, so he proposed this matter to Li Jing when he was drinking. Li Jing is also a good martial artist, he heard that Huang Feihu not only practiced the martial arts handed down by the Huangmen family, but also had been taught by Taishi Wen Zhong, and he also had the heart to get a glimpse of the immortal Taoism of this mysterious world from this young man of his age, so he made a promise. However, he knew that Di Yi had arranged the next literary test after the martial arts test, so he postponed the appointment for a few days under the pretext that there was something at home.
Seeing Huang Feihu invited him again, Li Jing no longer shirked, and replied with a smile: "Since Brother Huang is warm, the younger brother will come to the door tomorrow to disturb him." ”
Huang Feihu was overjoyed, talked and laughed with Li Jing, and walked to the side of the noon gate to wait.
The king summoned him to the banquet, and naturally no one dared to delay it. In a short time, the young men who had received the decree from each house had already arrived. Li Jing quietly almost counted the number of people, and saw that there were only more than thirty people, and the other seventy or eighty people who participated in the field hunt last time were undoubtedly among the eliminated.
At noon, there were already waiters sent by Emperor Yi at the noon gate, and when they saw that the edicted people had arrived, they instructed everyone to say a few words about the rules of the palace, and lead the way first, leading the young people into the palace to see the driver.
In the Xianqing Palace, two columns of several cases have already been laid down. The banquet was held in a split mode, and the young men who attended the banquet knelt down at the table behind a few tables under the guidance of the attendants waiting in the hall. Li Jing and Yang Ren were arranged in the first two seats on the west side, but Huang Feihu was arranged in the second seat on the east side.
In the Forbidden Palace, most of the young people were a little nervous, and they were silent to each other, just quietly waiting for the king to arrive.
After a while, I only heard an attendant outside the hall shouting: "The king has arrived!"
The boys hurriedly got up and stood solemnly on either side.
Di Yi, who was dressed in casual clothes, stepped into the door, followed by a young man with a long sword at his waist, who was the third prince Yin Shou. Di Yi sat down after a few cases in front of the hall, and Yin Shou held the hilt of the dragon and phoenix sword at his waist with his hand, standing proudly by his side.
"I've seen Your Majesty!" all the young men bowed to Emperor Yi together.
Di Yi smiled and waved his hand: "This place is not a court, and you dolls are not courtiers, so you don't need to pay attention to these red tapes." It's best for everyone to sit down and talk. ”
Having said that, in front of the king, who dares to be rude. The boys bowed down again to thank them before kneeling down on their seats.
Emperor Yi asked Yin Shou to sit at the first seat in front of Huang Feihu, and then ordered a banquet.
In an instant, all kinds of jade liquid elixir and delicacies were sent up like water, and the young people toasted Di Yi and Yin in accordance with etiquette. At the banquet, Di Yi casually commented on the performance of the teenagers in the field hunting, and every word must be true. The people he pointed out all bowed down to be taught, and secretly admired the king's eyes like lightning.
After three rounds of drinking, Di Yi's eyes were on the bodies of the young people, and he said with a smile: "There is a banquet without poetry, and it is difficult to enjoy it." I see that you are all the pillars of the future of my big business, so it is better to write a poem on the table, so that I can look at the ambition in your chest!"
Li Jing secretly said in his heart: "It's here." ”
The young people heard Di Yi's words, but they were happy and sad. There is a natural joy and encouragement that usually likes literature and ink, and he vows to show his strengths in front of the king, maybe he can enjoy the honor like Li Jing and the other three three three days ago. And some others who have always been negligent in literary affairs will inevitably hate less when the book is used, although they dare not say anything in front of the king, but they are all sad faces.
Emperor Yi Jinkou Yuyan, as soon as the words came out, there were four treasures in the study, which were placed on the several cases of each teenager.
No matter what his heart thought of Wen Zhong's teaching last time, Yin Shou really didn't get involved in it this time. He sat on the seat and watched a group of teenagers happy or worried, or pondering or meditating, quite a bit of a leisurely standing on the bridge and watching the water. Turning his eyes to the opposite side, he saw that Li Jing on the opposite table was just looking left and right like himself, looking at it leisurely, and he was not in a hurry to think about it at all.
In this world, poetry has developed into a relatively mature literary style - after all, even the non-professional person of the future King of Xuan can write a crooked poem with a neat rhythm in the Nuwa Palace, and the young people here are all from families, and under the influence of their ears and eyes, even the people with mediocre literary talents have pieced together a few sentences of text that can be read after racking their brains.
After about a stick of incense, all the teenagers stopped writing. It was only at this time that Li Jing grabbed the pen in his hand, moved the pen like the wind, and in just a few breaths, he waved it on the paper.
Looking at Li Jing's relaxed state of composing poems, a very faint haze rose in his eyes.
