You Yusui didn't know that he invited his grandfather to help the town and You Fengyun's behavior of inserting Su Xiang in order to maintain balance made Qiong Linyan's status in everyone's hearts a lot higher. He only knew that his grandfather and Su Xiang were here , he can sleep peacefully, and then he can go back to the palace after the Qionglin Banquet is over.

Just when You Yusui finished talking about Su Xiang, the Su family's carriage came from not far away. The material of the carriage was simple and not luxurious. Judging from the traces of wear and tear, it had been used for many years. This ordinary to inconspicuous carriage is respected because it bears the name of the Su family.

"It's Prime Minister Su." The sharp-eyed man said.

After the words fell, the sons of the aristocratic families were a little flustered when they heard the words. Facing the high-ranking and powerful Prime Minister Su, they couldn't say anything that they disdained to be with the children of the poor family.If what they said before sitting with the poor family's children meant that their identities were compromised and known by Prime Minister Su, would they still be able to be elected this time?

At the same time, they took another look at Xie Gong who was standing aside. In fact, from Xie Gong's attitude before, they could see that the chance of them being selected was not high.

For a moment, the face of several aristocratic families was ashamed. They knew that they shouldn't listen to the person surnamed Cheng.

And that aristocratic family surnamed Cheng didn't expect that this extremely simple spring banquet, which was equivalent to a make-up, could invite Xie Gong, who was never born, and Su Xiang, who was very famous among the poor.

"Su Xiang is here." You Yusui looked at Su Xiang who got off the carriage and leaned on crutches.

Sure enough, his father's oppression of his courtiers was insane. His grandfather was about the same age as Su Xiang, but from the outside it looked like a lot of difference. If you don't say it, people may think that Su is more than ten years older than Mr. Xie .

You Yusui felt that if he wanted to live a better life, he had to be like his grandfather, focusing on the mountains and rivers and being an idler. Don't find things to do for yourself, otherwise he would be ruthlessly squeezed by the emperor as a mule that wouldn't get tired.

At the same time, the students standing aside also saluted Prime Minister Su.

As for the gratitude, he nodded slightly to Su Xiang and said: "Brother Su, I haven't seen you for many years."

Su Xiang coughed and said, "It's true that we haven't seen each other for many years, but now is not the time to reminisce about the old days. Please, Your Highness the Crown Prince and Mr. Xie."

After speaking, Su Xiang stretched out his hand to let You Yusui and Xie Yi go in first.

You Yusui turned around and left without giving in when he heard the words, but he thanked Su Xiang and said "together."

Afterwards, Xie Yi and Su Xiang stepped into Qionglin's gate together.

After the three of them entered, the students slowly went to the guards to verify their identities, and then entered Qionglin one by one.

It is spring, and the flowers of thousands of pear trees planted in Qionglin are still blooming, just like the first snow falling on the branches, and the Qionglou Yuyu in the garden is like a fairyland, and the spring feast full of peach blossoms is full of people. different flavours.

Some students couldn't help but praised: "This is a fairyland on earth."

Everyone nodded one after another, and for a while, Qionglin Yan became more elevated in everyone's hearts because of this immortal energy.

On the other hand, the children from the aristocratic family wanted to say that this group of children from poor families were ignorant, but they all shut up, except for the top-notch family whose garden could be so beautiful.

"Here we are." Gong Ren, who was leading the way, said.

I saw desks and futons simply placed in the garden, and two people needed to sit next to each other. The son of the family disdained to sit with the poor family, and the poor family didn't want to make fun of themselves. For a while, everyone's seats were clearly separated.

And You Yusui sat in the main seat and watched the lower students' mouths slightly curved, and then he stretched out his hand to pat them.

Su Xiang looked at this scene and didn't know what You Yusui meant. He was suddenly called by Jinshang to attend the Qionglin Banquet. Jinshang didn't explain what he was going to do for the prince, but just told him not to interfere with Qionglin Anything at the banquet is left to the prince.

Therefore, Su Xiang didn't know what the prince would do at the Qionglin Banquet, and at the same time, the emperor's behavior made Su Xiang feel that the prince was gradually being valued again.

"I prepared a lottery for everyone to win this time. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't win. I also prepared an encouragement award."

As You Yusui's voice fell, the palace people held out the lottery and encouragement awards this time, and when the box was opened, everyone was shocked.

Pieces of gold were piled on top of it, and copper coins were randomly piled up all the time, and the money was so generous that people couldn't speak.

Especially for the children of poor families, their backgrounds are not as good as those of aristocratic families, and it is very difficult to live in Chang'an City, and the money given by the crown prince can solve their urgent needs!

hateful!This is really delicious!He even hesitated for a moment whether he should go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

This is a simple and straightforward, but also very stimulating temptation, which makes people feel a little short of breath.Those with sharp eyes noticed that there were hundreds of gold bars and hundreds of thousands of copper coins piled up on the table.

The children of the aristocratic families who were present also had to sigh with emotion that they deserved to be His Royal Highness who can spend millions of dollars on bird feather skirts.

Standing behind You Yusui, Huo Xiling, who was rewarded with a thousand gold from the crown prince, touched the sandalwood bracelet on his wrist. After seeing too much money and power from His Highness, he actually felt that the hundred gold was not much at all, and he was completely numb.

And You Yusui grabbed a gold bar casually and played with it casually: "I don't know what you guys like, I only got these yellow and white things, I hope you guys don't dislike it, this hundred gold is the first in all competitions." The remaining [-] yuan will be shared with the students who came to the banquet, I only hope that all the students can dedicate what they have learned to the great scene! Dedicate it all to Your Majesty!"

At the end of You Yusui's speech, his eyes became sharper and his tone became more high-spirited. When everyone heard the words, their hearts were filled with the ambition of Lingyun, and they suppressed their excitement and bowed their heads: "I will definitely live up to the prince's expectations."

After the words fell, You Yusui said wearily: "Let's get started."

You Yusui's weak and tired appearance reassured Su Xiang who was on the side. The crown prince was not in good health and might pass away anytime soon. His Majesty would not choose him as the heir to the throne.

"This place will be handed over to Mr. Xie and Prime Minister Su. I'm going to rest alone." After speaking, You Yusui coughed, and then left here with Huo Xiling's support.

Xie Xie couldn't help laughing at this, his good grandson was afraid that he was going to be lazy, no wonder he was pulled over.

Soon, You Yusui found a small and quiet pavilion to nest up, covered Huo Xiling's fox fur and fell asleep on Huo Xiling's legs, and spent most of the day with Huo Xiling

At this moment, You Yusui didn't know, and Su Xiang, who had never read the memorial written by him, was surprised when he saw the competition procedure.

It is completely open and transparent, so that no one can find the slightest possibility of cheating, which puts the aristocratic family and the poor family on the same starting line.

Especially when Su Xiang knew that the final debate was changed to them giving questions and letting the students write their arguments on paper, his surprise reached its peak.

The finished arguments will be anonymized, and then presented to them for review, completely eliminating the possibility of selfishness among the reviewers.

Su Xiang's face became serious. If this method is carried out, there is no need to worry that the poor family will not be able to occupy a place in the officialdom, and even the aristocratic family may completely decline because of this.

Prime Minister Su closed his eyes, why is it the prince who came up with this idea, this is to increase the political chips for the prince!

Especially now that the First Prince's reputation is declining, if the First Prince's reputation cannot be restored quickly, then he will be completely overshadowed by the Prince's brilliance.

Su Xiang closed his eyes and pondered whether it was because of his selfishness that he broke the best springboard for the poor family to enter the officialdom, or to support the Qionglin Banquet held by the prince so that the poor students in the world would have a way to succeed.

"His Royal Highness said that the topic of this policy theory is decided by you and me together. In order to avoid leaking the questions before the exam, we decided to make the topic temporarily." Xie Yi who was sitting on the side suddenly said.

"The topic?" Prime Minister Su opened his eyes and said after thinking for a moment, "The topic is the flood control in Hedong County."

The flood in Hedong County happened last month. This topic is closely related to current events, but it is much better than those fake debates at the spring banquet.

"That's very good. Your Majesty is very happy to see these strategies." Thank you and said with a smile.

When Su Xiang heard the word "Your Majesty", his whole body seemed to be awakened by the sound of a bell. He took a look and thanked, "You are right."

It is the emperor who is in power, and the will of the emperor is the standard for their implementation. If the emperor knows that he has such thoughts, then the collapse of the Su family will not be far away.

Xie Xie smiled in a seemingly ignorant manner, and then said: "That's it, let's call the students together after the Six Arts competition is over."

On the other side, the students from poor families have already been gearing up and can't wait. They want to scold each other so badly, and let the other party know that they are right!

Finally, the six arts competition was over, and the students who won the first place had appeared, and the crowd who had returned from the competition were waiting for the final debate.

And You Yusui, who had slept for a long time, also got up and walked to the place where the students were discussing strategies. Before he could get there, he heard some students asking for a debate on whether the actions of the third prince were shameless or a love affair.

You Yusui: ...

Student, you are really brave.

In the end, the student's wish was not fulfilled. You Yusui was afraid that he would piss Su Xiang to death, so he directly suppressed him violently. Everyone just listened to the exam questions and wrote their own arguments on the paper.

The students who encountered this situation for the first time were stunned and wrote their own arguments on white paper?At this moment, no matter whether it is the son of the aristocratic family or the son of the humble family, they are at a loss.

Only the Xie Jiazi who came in with Xie Yi had already begun to grind ink with a calm expression. Everyone started to write immediately when they saw this. After all, there was a time limit and they had to finish writing quickly.

Before dark, all the students finished writing their arguments and handed them over to the examiner. When they heard that these examination papers would be sent to the palace to be checked by the emperor, they were all shocked.

This has completely exceeded their imagination, and they dare not imagine that what they wrote will be sent to the emperor's desk.

In the end, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in red reached out and folded a pear blossom beside him and handed it to the student who won the first place in the six arts competition, and then smiled and said to the students present: "Go to the banquet, wait After you leave Qionglin, maybe the next time we meet, your identities will be different."

The moonlight is melting, the pear blossoms are soft and beautiful, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince standing under the moonlight and the flower tree is so beautiful that he is not like a real person, and this passage is recorded by the good people and is called "the fairy folds flowers to send each other". staged at the banquet.

Soon, You Yusui took everyone up to the attic, and countless lights were lit, and the palace people rewarded the students with drinks and family banquets.

When the moon is in the middle of the sky, everyone will disperse, the lights of the buildings, pavilions and pavilions will be extinguished gradually, and the crowd will disperse like flowing water.

"The first Qionglin Banquet may have flaws, but after repeated revisions, it will eventually become a perfect system for selecting talents, don't you think so, Prime Minister Su." The front of the pavilion fence looked down at the lantern The students who left said.

The lights in the darkness are scattered everywhere, like stars in the sky, faint but hopeful.

After a moment of silence, Su Xiang said: "You are right."

At this moment, Su Xiang could clearly perceive that there are not as many eldest princes as there are princes.

Gratitude is a self-satisfied smile, who would know that this is just a Qionglin banquet made by his grandson just to be lazy.

And You Yusui, who presided over the Qionglin banquet, fell on Huo Xiling: "I fell ill!"

Huo Xiling was stunned, and then he saw You Yusui blinked at him quickly, and the hand holding You Yusui didn't start to tremble.

Under the slightly dim light, You Yusui heard Huo Xiling say: "Your Highness, don't scare me."

Huo Xiling was afraid to hear that You Yusui was ill, because he knew that every time he got sick, You Yusui's lifespan would be reduced a little, and he was afraid that You Yusui would not wait until he grew old together.

I saw You Yusui said: "I am very weak, I should be seriously ill after finishing the Qionglin Banquet."

Huo Xiling didn't understand the logic of You Yusui. After the prince returned to the East Palace, the news came out that he was seriously ill. After marking the task, I suddenly understood.

Your Highness, he pretended to be sick in order to be lazy and get more compensation.

So, Huo Xiling looked at You Yusui who was lying on the bed with a pale face pretending to be weak.

But no matter how many times he saw You Yusui's appearance, he still felt distressed.

"Your Highness." Huo Xiling called softly while sitting beside You Yusui's bed.

"Huh?" You Yusui lazily opened his eyes.

"Eunuch Fubao's medicine should be ready soon." Huo Xiling said.

Cui Yan, the prince's exclusive imperial physician, had already been here before, and after covering up for You Yusui, he left a pile of bitter medicine and left, while Fu Bao immediately started to brew the medicine.

You Yusui sat up, his long black hair scattered on his snow-white jacket, and the tear mole under his left eyelid became more and more red, then he reached out and lifted Huo Xiling's chin and said: "Xiling, you know, This time I'm pretending to be sick."

Huo Xiling was forced to raise his head, looking at You Yusui's collarbone from the corner of his eye.

"So, can I not drink medicine?"

You Yusui's voice sounded a bit wronged, and Huo Xiling knew that it was His Highness acting like a baby.

"But Father Fubao..."

You Yusui interrupted Huo Xiling, he smiled and said: "It's fine if Xiling helps me drink."

After a while, Huo Xiling, who raised his chin, agreed, "Okay."

Satisfied, You Yusui let go, and finally lived a happy life in the East Palace where someone drinks the bitter medicine and sleeps with someone.

At the moment in the Xuande Hall, the student test papers that You Fengyun asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to read had already been placed in front of his desk, and while flipping through the ten best test papers, he asked, "Is the prince's illness healed yet?"

Eunuch Anhai heard the words: "Yes, he fell ill after returning from the Qionglin Banquet, and now he still has some relapses."

You Fengyun stared at the test paper and asked, "What did the court judge say?"

An Hai sighed and said: "The judge said that His Highness is weak and has a limited lifespan."

You Fengyun was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but finally heaved a sigh.

In fact, You Fengyun was not very satisfied with these heirs.

Before the prince suffered a serious illness, he was benevolent and kind, but what an emperor needs most is ruthlessness. If such a prince succeeds to the throne, the oppressed family will surely counterattack, and the prince has no courage to kill the family and relatives to check and balance the Qingliu .Such a prince You Fengyun can only use him as a target to check and balance the three factions, and he can be discarded once it is useless.

As for the eldest prince, he is small-bellied, impulsive, and has no imperial heart. The third prince obeys the concubine, and has no ability to govern the country. When the time comes, his relatives will monopolize power, which will be a big disaster for the world.

In short, there is no one in You Fengyun's eyes.

But after You Yusui woke up from a serious illness, his personality changed and he acted more aggressively, which made You Fengyun start to pay attention, but You Yusui's body was a big limitation.

"It's a pity." You Fengyun said.

Finally, there is a brilliant one, but it is short-lived.

"Take it down." You Fengyun handed the ten papers to An Haidao, and the top three of the spring banquet were circled with a Chinese ink pen.

"Yes."

Three days later, the Qionglin Banquet will release the list, and those whose names are on top will be able to enter the court.

Many students see this list and feel that all these years of hard work are worthwhile, and if they are not convinced, they can read the articles posted on the side, which are very fair and transparent.

"I actually think this Qionglin Banquet is better than the Spring Banquet." Someone whispered.

Most of the people at the spring banquet are fighting for fame, and most of them speak amazing words for the sake of fame, and to create momentum for themselves, which requires contacts and relationships. However, where the real poor students have the opportunity to get in touch with these, sometimes they want to If you say your own opinions on the stage, you will be refuted. How can you speak freely on paper like Qionglinyan, showing your true talents and learning.

"Besides, at the Qionglin Banquet, Xie Gong and Su Xiang both came, isn't it more powerful than the Spring Banquet?"

"Fortunately, the test papers are vague, otherwise I would definitely not be selected." The student who proposed to debate with the third prince at the Qionglin Banquet earlier patted his heart and said.

Everyone: ... Should you be worried that Prime Minister Su will wear small shoes after entering the officialdom?

This Qionglin Banquet announced that most of the people selected were from poor families and a small number were from aristocratic families. When the list came out, the sensitive aristocratic families frowned. Lin Yan, this made them rush to ask His Majesty, and the aristocratic family was relieved until the news of the Qionglin Banquet once every three years came out from Eunuch An Hai who was beside His Majesty.

However, the Qionglin Banquet once every three years, with Mrs. Xie Gongsu and the anecdote that the crown prince folded flowers as a gift, for a while in the hearts of everyone, the Qionglin Banquet once every three years, which is between the false and the real, is comparable to that once a year. The status of the spring feast is much higher.

A month passed quickly, and You Yusui recovered from his illness repeatedly. Unfortunately, Huo Xiling had to drink a bowl of bitter medicine every day. Only the candied fruit fed by His Highness could make him smile.

At this time, the marriage between the eldest prince and the third prince has been almost prepared, and You Fengyun's imperial decree for the first prince and the third prince has been issued. The eldest prince will be named King Yan, with five thousand households in Shiyi, and the third prince will be named King Wu , There are seven thousand households in the food city.

The palaces of the two princes have also been selected. Although the first prince's residence is large but remote, the third prince's residence is closer to the palace.

For a time, it was clear at a glance who the emperor liked more.

When the eldest prince You Yuyi heard the news, he directly smashed his favorite Ru kiln porcelain. His father's partiality was too obvious!

Seeing the eldest prince who lost his temper, the palace people did not dare to persuade him, but the imperial concubine was even more angry than the eldest prince.

When the eldest prince calmed down, he began to comfort himself. It is not without good things to marry a wife and become a king. For example, he can follow the rules to participate in political affairs in the court.

At the same time, You Fengyun also thought about this problem, the eldest prince and the third prince can go to court to listen to the government, how can the prince be idle in the palace.

Therefore, You Fengyun immediately summoned the prince and asked him if he had any thoughts on marrying a wife and having children.

You Yusui who was found out of nowhere:? ? ?

"I have no such plan." You Yusui said after bowing his head and scolding You Fengyun.

You Fengyun squinted at You Yusui below and said, "You really don't want the Crown Princess?"

I saw You Yusui raised his head and said seriously to his good father: "Father, the doctor said that if you are not married and have children, you will live forever. I want to live a few more years."

You Fengyun was silent for a moment and asked, "What age?"

You Yusui: "Fang Ling."

You Fengyun: ...

Which boy said he was Fangling?Is there something wrong with this?

"Who said that?" You Fengyun asked seriously.

"Cui Yan, Imperial Physician Cui." You Yusui found someone to cover for his nonsense.

Dr. Cui, if you want to blame, you have prescribed too much bitter medicine for me.

You Fengyun: ...

After a while, You Fengyun said to An Hai: "Let the judge have a good talk with the young master of the Cui family."

He didn't understand these young people more and more.

"Yes." An Hai said.

You Yusui lowered his head and smiled, Doctor Cui waited for his boss to talk to you.

Just when You Yusui thought he didn't have to marry a wife, You Fengyun told him that he didn't have to marry a wife, but he had to go to court.

"Father, my son is not in good health." You Yusui struggled.

You Fengyun smiled: "It's okay, I can give you a seat."

You Yusui: ...The treatment that you can't wait for in more than ten lifetimes is waiting here.

In the end, You Yusui got the imperial decree to listen to the government.However, it doesn't matter, he is bad, and he will be sick tomorrow.
