red tears

In XX years, the weather was smooth and all wastes were prosperous.

The imperial examination reveals the list:

Champion: Shao Yanfei.

Second place: Jia Yuxiu.

Tanhua: Huang Lizhen.

Shao Yanfei is the prime minister's son, and Huang Li is really the fourth prince's adopted son.The two are disciples.Students, that is, those who were born in the capital and prefectural and county schools, and sent to Shangshu Province; those who did not pass the prefectural and county examinations first, and then sent to Shangshu Province were called Xianggong.This Jia Yuxiu is that Xianggong.Among the three, he is the only one who is a commoner and passes the exam in one fell swoop. The sparrow flies on the branch and turns into a phoenix.It can be said that there are some outliers.

Let's say that on the day when the list was revealed, three rounds of gongs and drums sent officials to pass.The good news almost didn't step through the threshold of Shao Mansion.Prime Minister Shao had a rare smile on his serious face.He ordered the housekeeper to unseal the Maotai that had been prepared, and greet the officials who came to congratulate him upon hearing the news.

That night, the emperor held a banquet in the imperial garden to welcome the champion.The top three in the Jinshi court examination, the top three champions, the second place, Tanhua and a group of talents, etc. are seated in order.

It was the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the open-air banquet was already filled with delicacies and wines, and the lanterns with inscriptions had already been hung up high, making the dusk and night as bright as day.The fragrance of peonies came in bursts.

Among the people attending the banquet, there are both Confucian scholars who have read the books of sages and sages, and there is also no shortage of literati and poets with temperament.But under the beautiful scenery on such a good day, everyone was amazed by the magnificence of the palace, and everyone was deeply intoxicated by this rare moment.

Thirty days after the wine, the emperor became interested, pointed at the corner of the lantern, and ordered Cao Hai, a great scholar, to throw bricks to attract jade and write a poem.Those who follow must take the first word of Cao Hai's poem as the content, and the last word as the eye of the poem, and make the next poem, regardless of genre.Those who fail to catch up will be fined three cups of wine.

Cao Hai bowed to accept the order, raised his glass and recited Li Bai's poem "Will Enter the Wine", and then drank the fine wine in the glass in one gulp.

After throwing the bricks, the next jade... Everyone's eyes unconsciously focused on the champion this time, Shao Yanfei.Seeing that he was the focus, Shao Yanfei calmly sipped wine and toasted to a song.After all, it is also to dry the wine to the end.There is endless romance and chicness in his speech and actions.

Shao Yanfei was born with a good appearance, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a face like a crown of jade.It's just that his chin is a little bit sharp, but it doesn't detract from his handsome charm at all.After hearing the news, the princesses who were hiding behind the flower pond and peeking, were so excited that they blushed.It's a pity that the culprit didn't know it.Between Gu Pan, he is still showing mercy.It really made many people can't help but pray together, come out and steal his limelight.

The number one pick in the past is naturally the second place.Jia Yuxiu got up, and bowed straight to the emperor's officials, then twisted the three thin beards around her lips, answered the questions slowly, and sat down straight again.The emperor laughed: "What an honest man."

To be honest, of course we can't grab the limelight of the venue.Disappointed people turned their attention to the third person.Looking at it, I was even more disappointed, I saw that this person was dressed in dark red, his appearance was really mediocre, once he sent it to the crowd, he couldn't tell who was who, it belonged to the type of flashing and forgetting.It's just that the complexion is very fair, especially under the illumination of the lights at night, it seems to be transparent when you look closely.Unknowingly asked people one by one, and after asking a few eminent people, only then did they learn that this is the adopted son of the Fourth Prince, Huang Lizhen.

Speaking of Huang Lizhen, not many people know him.Even if I asked about Liu Shangshu, I only found out about his background.Usually, in young people's gatherings, his articles are not seen circulating.In addition, this person is only twenty years old, although Jidi is young, he is already two years older than Shao Yanfei.In addition to that pair of faces that can be said to be handsome at best, in comparison, they are not good enough.

Young, with little talent, easily got No.3.People began to say that this person was just a playboy, and that he was able to become a Tanhua all because of the backstage four princes.

Huang Lizhen smiled at everyone, got up and said: "I'm not talented, I'm showing my ugliness." After receiving the poem, he saluted again and sat down.

It is usually poetry, and people are more convinced of the guess just now.However, the Great Emperor of Heaven and Earth is the biggest.He is a talent who is personally ordered by the imperial pen.With this title, no matter how unconvinced others are, there is nothing they can do.

Facing some speculative and contemptuous eyes, Huang Lizhen communicated with the officials present as usual, smiling naturally.

Although everyone didn't like his poems, but because of the face of the Fourth Prince, how dare they show him some face.What's more, being an official in the same court in the future is naturally a lot of friends and many ways, and now they all pull down their thin noodles and start talking with Huang Lizhen.

Unexpectedly, after discussing it, I discovered that although Huang Lizhen is not a material for reciting poems and making fuss, his research on the history of ancient books and his views on some things do have a different angle and depth.There are quite a few people who are talking with him enthusiastically.

Seeing how lively this place is, how could the emperor be missing, he and the empress looked at each other.

The queen pursed her lips and smiled: "It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with others. What interesting things are Mr. Wang and Tan Hualang talking about, so speculative? Why don't you tell us to listen together."

Wang Li hurriedly said: "Don't dare. It's just some qin-colored jokes. My humble minister is dull, but he really likes the rhythm of this pipa. I don't want to be a red nephew. confidant."

In a short while, he had actually changed Huang Lizhen and Huang Tanhua into direct names for each other, not red nephew.It can be seen that he really regards the other party as a confidant.

Even the queen was a little surprised: "So, the Ai family is even more curious. I didn't expect Mr. Wang, a fierce general, to like these graceful things. It's really surprising."

Wang Lidao: "Wang is not talented. When he was practicing martial arts in Changbai Mountain, the master tried to play the guzheng in his spare time. He liked it very much the first time he heard it. After he came to Beijing, he saw the pipa and fell in love with it immediately. Yes. Although I am a martial artist, I feel that the way of music can make people feel refreshed and happy, so that they can forget their worries."

The emperor said: "My lord, don't underestimate yourself. Your lord is the champion of martial arts in our dynasty. How can it be compared with ordinary people? Speaking of this music, I happen to like it very much, but I don't know what you two are discussing. music score?"

Daren Wang said: "Compared to the nephew who is not popular, this humble official is just playing tricks. I just listened to his wonderful speech, so I discussed it together. If you are interested, the emperor, let him talk about it. "

The emperor wondered: "Oh? So, Huang Tanhua will tell everyone."

Everyone sighed, it turned out that the boy surnamed Shao was going to be snatched away by such an ordinary boy?

In this case, no matter which of them gets the limelight, it is not what they would like to see.
