Honglu Temple is the imperial court's agency in charge of foreign affairs reception, ethnic affairs and funeral rites. The former chief minister of Honglu Temple was a member of Jiang Yan's lineage, but now he has been imprisoned along with Jiang Yan.
As the new year approaches, Rongguo is now the largest territorial country in its surrounding area. This year is the first year that Xia Lishuang officially succeeds as emperor.
The name of Emperor Ronghe has spread all over the world with Xia Lishuang's battles over the years, and even further, some surrounding countries may also come to congratulate him.
The Jiang family was ransacked earlier, and the items found were able to fill the national treasury for a period of time.
But everyone knows that Rongguo has experienced several internal strife. Now it has finally made peace and occupies the largest territory. The cost of war is extremely high. Therefore, after such a long time, Rongguo is a paper tiger or a real one.
Tiger, this is the expectation of all surrounding countries.
The so-called situation of all nations coming to Korea is false. It is true to want to find out the reality.
Previously, although Xie Xiuyuan was also a censor, he was more focused on giving advice and suggestions. As for criticizing others, after all, it still lacked some flavor.
And the current Lu Shenyan is really an unexpected surprise.
"So, this is the reason why you held the so-called poetry meeting this time?" Wen Ranran suddenly realized.
For the powerful nobles in the court and the Jiang family, Xia Lishuang had already made full preparations the moment she took office.
In one year, the Jiang family was pushed to the top and then fell into the clouds. The things the Jiang family copied were enough to enrich the national treasury. In a short period of time, there would be no economic crisis within the imperial court.
Qingfeng Teahouse, which seems to be a place for scholars from poor families and scholars, has gathered a group of good quality students in order to quickly fill the vacancy after the Jiang family is wiped out in one fell swoop.
Everything is done in secret. It seems that every step has no connection, but in fact, it all falls into place.
In the end, the game fell down one game at a time, and it finally came to fruition.
Such an outstanding and thoughtful person is my husband.
Thinking of this, Wen Ranran felt a little proud.
Xia Lishuang pinched her nose and whispered, "It's so easy. This person is extremely wild. He may not like this poetry meeting."
"Well..."
Wen Ranran touched her chin, and just when she was about to ask something, she saw Xie Xiuyuan, who had finally managed to save his life in the main hall these days, also went upstairs shaking his fan.
Wen Ranran looked at the fan and then at the one in her hand, feeling that it was a little inappropriate in this winter.
But she also gradually understood that the people gathered here were all poor people, and the arrogance of scholars was imprinted in their bones. They couldn't afford rich clothes or gold and jade laurels. The so-called fan seemed to be more expensive in this weather.
It is contrary to harmony, but it is the best portrayal of the character of a literati.
Xie Xiuyuan, who was going up the stairs, seemed to be very familiar with it. Under the gaze of countless people, he went straight to Lu Shenyan in the corner.
Lu Shenyan was holding the book, and before he could read a few words, he was embraced by Xie Xiuyuan in a bear hug.
"Brother Lu! I finally found you!" Xie Xiuyuan sat down without hesitation and smelled the wine in Lu Shenyan's flask. Then he frowned, took off a wine gourd from his waist, and handed it to Lu Shenyan.
Then he took another swig of Lu Shenyan's wine.
"Let me tell you...this New Year's Poetry Festival is intended to select talents! Your Majesty and the Empress attach great importance to this Poetry Festival. Now that the government is empty, your talent is the best opportunity to display it.
!Don’t let it go to waste!”
Xie Xiuyuan sat down, ordered a stack of peanuts, and started chatting with Lu Shenyan.
The fans in Wen Ranran and Xia Lishuang's hands half covered their faces. There happened to be a hollow shelf behind where they were sitting, which could hide their figures so that they could not be seen clearly. Therefore, even Xie Xiuyuan did not
