After Fang Xuanling left, Li Shimin thought for a while and ordered Du Junchuo: "Go and call Du Yan here."

"Yes, the king." Du Junchuo took the order and retreated.

Li Shimin picked up the article Fang Xuanling gave him and started reading it carefully.

Du Yan was in the mansion and sighed to Du Ruhui: "Tomorrow's Shangsi Festival feast, only officials and families of third ranks and above can participate. Although you and I have not had enough rank, you are close to the King of Qin. The King of Qin has already said that he will take you and Fang Xuanling to attend the feast.

"It seems that my nephew is more promising, and I will rely on you in the future."

"My uncle's words are serious." Du Ruhui was humble: "My nephew just followed the King of Qin for a little longer. When it comes to learning, his nephew is not as good as his uncle.

"Especially my uncle's articles, my nephew is far behind.

"My nephew believes that in time, the King of Qin will definitely discover his uncle's talent and use it."

Du Yan expressed doubts about this. He had been in the Qin Palace for so long and had never been reused.

At this moment, the servant came to report: "Alang, Du Lang of the Qin Palace is coming."

"Please quickly."

After Du Junchuo came in, he directly explained his purpose: "The King of Qin wants to meet Du Lushi, please follow me to the Qin Palace now."

Du Yan stood up: "General Du Lang, please allow me to change my clothes."

Du Junchuo glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "No need to change it, let's go now. If you delay any further, you may not be able to come back before the curfew."

Upon hearing this, Du Yan gave up changing clothes, tidied up his regular clothes for a little, and followed Du Junchuo to the Qin Prince's Mansion.

The housekeeper showed concern: "Alang, the King of Qin asked the Record to go alone. Will something happen?"

"No." Du Ruhui said with certainty: "If something bad happened, it is related to my uncle, the King of Qin will definitely ask me to go with me."

......

Qin Wang Mansion.

The closer he was to Li Shimin's study, the more he became, the more he was panicked. The King of Qin would not know that he wanted to surrender to the prince, right?

As the saying goes, being a thief is guilty. Du Yan is in this moment. He is afraid that Li Shimin will know what he does.

"I've seen the king." Du Yan lowered his head, hid his hands in his sleeves and clenched his fists, forcing himself to calm down.

Li Shimin glanced at his sleeve and said with a smile: "Today, Fang Xuanling showed me a few articles of you, and then I realized that your article was well written."

Du Yan raised his head in surprise and found that Li Shimin was holding a stack of paper in his hand. Looking at the handwriting on it, it was very similar to his handwriting.

"It turns out that there are such talents in the mansion. I was negligent in the past, so talents should not be buried."

Li Shimin thought for a moment and said, "Since your article is so well written, then go to the Literature Museum to be a bachelor's degree.

"You once served as the Minister of Personnel under Wang Shichong. It is indeed a bit useless to ask you to do recording work. This way, you should serve as the military officer first. If you do well in the future, I will be promoted to your official position."

Du Yan was a little confused. What's going on?

The King of Qin should not have noticed that he wanted to surrender to the crown prince, did he? Otherwise, he would not have been promoted to his official position.

"The king is so proud that I dare not take it." Du Yan was happy, but he was very modest.

Li Shimin really thought Du Yan’s article was well written, so his tone was very sincere: “No need to be modest. Among the bachelor’s students in the Literature Museum, your articles should be among the top three.

"Come on, come here, I want to discuss this article you wrote."

......

After Du Yan returned to his house, he still couldn't hide his excitement.

It was not only because Li Shimin was promoted to his post, but because during the discussion of articles with Li Shimin, he found that Li Shimin's literary talent was not lower than him, and they could resonate in many places.

At this moment, Du Yan's heart was no longer shaken.

"Uncle, what's wrong with the King of Qin asking you to go over?" Du Ruhui couldn't help asking when he saw Du Yan's expression was dazed.

Hearing Du Ruhui's voice, Du Yan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "There is nothing important, the King of Qin promoted me to be a military officer, and appointed me as a bachelor's degree in the Literature Museum..."

Du Ruhui was stunned for a moment, and then congratulated him: "Congratulations to uncle."

Du Chuke, who was sitting aside, was also very happy: "This is a happy event, congratulations to uncle."

He also said to Du Ruhui: "Second brother, you are a bachelor of the Literature Museum. Now my uncle is also a bachelor of the Literature Museum. From now on, you can work in Tiance Mansion together."

Du Yan was overjoyed and said another good news: "The King of Qin said that I would also ask me to attend the feast in the palace tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Du Chuke showed an envious expression: "It is really enviable that the King of Qin values ​​his uncle and second brother so much.

"Oh... I don't know when I can enter the palace to attend the feast?"

Du Ruhui patted his shoulder and comforted him: "As long as you do your job well, this day will come soon.

"Uncle's promotion is a happy event. Our family will celebrate tonight."

Then he ordered the servants to prepare dinner.

......

The second day, the third day of the third month, Shangsi Festival.

Because the Shangsi Festival feast is scheduled to be held at noon, the officials who are qualified to attend the feast simply stayed in the palace after the court was dispersed, and the female family entered the palace later.

The banquet was not divided into men and women, and they were in Hanzhang Hall, but they just sat opposite each other.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Du Yan were not qualified to attend the court meeting, so they entered the palace only after the court meeting ended.

On the way to Hanzhang Palace, they met Li Yuanji and Li Yi.

"I have met King Qi and King Yan." The three of them saluted respectfully.

Li Yi stopped and looked at the three of them unscrupulously: "Oh, isn't this Mr. Fang from the Literature Museum, Mr. Du?

"No, there is another new bachelor's degree."

Du Yan's heart skipped a beat. Did the news spread so quickly?

Before he could react, a pair of exquisite antler leather boots appeared in front of him, and then a powerful force came from his chin, forcing him to look up and meet a pair of joking eyes.

The joking gaze seemed to tease the little lady, Du Yan suddenly felt a sense of humiliation and his stomach was churning.

"Please respect yourself, King Yan."

Du Yan raised his hand, grabbed Li Yi's wrist, and wanted to pry his hand away, but failed.

So, he used his hands and tried his best, but he still couldn't get rid of Li Yi's clamping.

Because he tried too hard, Du Yan's face turned red. He glared at Li Yi: "King Yan, what do you want to do? Let me go."

"King Yan, let go." Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling were so angry that they rushed up to help.

"So what if you don't relax?" Li Yi pushed Du Ruhui away with a palm.

Fang Xuanling was behind Du Ruhui. Du Ruhui was pushed and knocked down Fang Xuanling. Both of them fell to the ground, in a very embarrassing state.

Du Yan was furious and glared at Li Yi and said, "King Yan, this is the imperial palace, not a place where you can just go wild."

"Ha~" Li Yi sneered and said loudly: "You don't even have the qualifications to attend the court meeting, so how dare you come to attend the Shangsi Festival feast?

"It is a death sentence to break into the palace alone.

"Come on, drag them down and lock them up first."

After the words came, Li Yi threw hard, Du Yan fell out, his forehead hit the ground, and blood flowed out instantly...
