Chapter 553: Meeting the Empress in the Imperial Study Room
As soon as the poem was written, all the Jin scribes present summoned their literary urns, found the poem, and paid tribute to it without hesitation.
Use your own strength to push this poem upward.
High above the sky,
A group of third-level scholars couldn't help but sigh when they saw that Li Chang'an actually gave a poem that could reach the top of the Literary Saint List to a young man.
"Our loyal and brave uncle is really..."
Zhao Hongshan nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is my model for the scribes of the Jin Dynasty."
He turned his attention to other third-grade Confucian scholars and said, "With this poem, Jin Dynasty will have a chance to be on the list of literary saints in March."
"What should I do? You don't need me to say more."
Qin Zhenliang of Songyue Academy nodded, "Li Changan even donated his poems and essays to others for the sake of the Jin Dynasty. Naturally, we will not hold him back."
"Songyue Academy will give its full support to put this poem on the list of literary saints."
Guan Xianli of the Imperial College said, "The Imperial College will also do its best."
Wu Zhanchun of Xiangshan Academy: "Xiangshan Academy will not fall behind."
Shen Shijun of Wansong Academy also nodded, "Wansong Academy will naturally follow."
For a time, the General Courtyard of the Four Courts of Jin State, one of which was in the capital, successively received edicts from third-rank Confucian scholars.
Immediately, these edicts were spread to all prefectures and counties, and quickly spread among students everywhere.
In February, even with all the efforts of the whole country, he failed to break into the top ten on the list of literary saints.
Half of March has passed, and now I finally have a poem that can suppress the world.
Who dares not to contribute at this time?
After receiving the news, the six departments of the imperial court quickly took action and spread the poem to various counties and counties.
This poem is expected to be promoted to the list of literary saints.
…
When Li Changan saw that Chen Anyian had finished writing the poem, he bowed his hands to Ji Wen and other scribes from the five countries, and asked with a smile,
"Everyone, are you satisfied?"
Ji Wen didn't want to say another word anymore, snorted coldly, threw up his sleeves and strode away.
The scribes of Zhou State followed closely behind, and the other scribes of Qi, Zhao, Qin and Chu looked at each other and no longer stayed.
Who would have thought? This guy Li Changan is a lunatic!
He actually gave the poems to others.
In this way, he himself will get no benefit at all.
If not a madman, what is he?
Selflessness is too much!
Now, with the addition of Li Chang'an to the Jin Kingdom, the battle for luck plunder may be about to enter a completely new situation.
The battlefield is likely to spread from the Literary Saint List to other areas.
Whether it turns into an attack or defense on the Wenchang Monument in various places, a poetry meeting between the six countries, or even a local war, it is possible.
Because of Li Changan, the situation that could already see an obvious direction suddenly became complicated.
After returning home, we must discuss strategies for dealing with the enemy.
The previous strategy will definitely need to undergo major changes.
…
After going through twists and turns, the Six Nations Poetry Society finally came to an end.
The early conclusion expected by the remaining five countries was also successfully achieved.
But there was no trace of joy at getting what they wanted on their faces, so they boarded the Yunxiao Treasure Ship one by one and quickly left the Jin Kingdom.
And Li Changan was also preparing to leave and reunite with his family amidst the cheers of the crowd.
But before he took a few steps, he was stopped by the eunuch who came out of the palace and said, "Uncle Zhongyong, the Queen has invited you."
At this time, the six poems in the sky gradually dispersed, and it was getting late.
Li Changan was surprised. The legendary queen whose name was only heard but not her person would actually summon him at this time?
Shouldn't we discuss the reward for ourselves after tomorrow morning's court meeting, and then directly declare the decree?
Summon yourself for what?
He thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded to the eunuch, "Please, father-in-law, please lead the way."
The great eunuch turned sideways, stretched out his hand and said, "Uncle Zhongyong, please follow me this way."
Li Changan clasped his fists at the scribes who were still looking at him, then smiled and said to Chen Anyian, "Go find your father."
Then he followed the eunuch and walked deep into the palace.
Along the way, there were palace maids and eunuchs walking hurriedly along the golden-domed vermilion gates of the palace. On every road, they quickly stopped and saluted respectfully when they saw the chief eunuch and Li Changan.
After Li Changan walked through several palace gates, he turned into a straight red brick road, walked another hundred feet, passed two groups of palace maids, and then arrived at his destination - the Imperial Study Room.
Feeling the atmosphere surrounding him, Li Changan raised his eyebrows and walked up the white marble steps to the door of the Imperial Study Room.
The great eunuch bowed respectfully and said softly to the door, "Please tell the queen, Uncle Zhongyong will bring her here."
"Come in." A golden voice came from inside the door. It was melodious, but it contained the aura of a superior.
The chief eunuch saluted Li Changan and said, "Uncle Zhongyong, please."
Li Changan nodded, then opened the door to the imperial study and strode in.
The chief eunuch closed the door of the royal study and stood waiting outside the door with his head bowed.
As soon as he walked into the imperial study room, Li Changan smelled an elegant fragrance like orchid.
The imperial study room does not have the splendid splendor and luxury as imagined, but instead reveals a simple and elegant feeling of returning to nature.
The room is not small. It looks like a study, but in fact it is something else entirely.
However, as far as the eye can see, except for the desk and bookcases, everything is blocked by screens. These screens are not ordinary things and cannot be seen through at all.
While Li Changan was still secretly looking at the imperial study, a figure walked out from behind a screen.
Li Changan then cupped his fists and saluted, "Li Changan, a common man, has met the Queen."
Jin Hui's jade-like voice sounded again, "Uncle Zhongyong is not a commoner."
"Besides, since you call yourself a commoner, why don't you kneel down and worship me when you see me?"
Li Changan was stunned for a moment and blinked. What is this queen planning to do?
Before he could say anything, Dugu Zhao said again, "Uncle Zhongyong, please forgive me."
"With the great achievements made by Uncle Zhongyong, I should pay my respects to Uncle Zhongyong."
Li Changan has a toothache. Is there something in the Queen's words?
He put down his arms, raised his head slightly, and was slightly startled.
Why do the two of them wear similar clothes?
All are in white.
The difference is that this is the most ordinary fabric, but the white dress worn by the queen in front of her is much more luxurious.
He nodded and said, "The Empress is so complimentary that it is Chang'an's duty to work for the Jin Dynasty."
"Duty?" Dugu Zhao looked at Li Changan who had his head lowered, "Uncle Zhongyong just said that."
"The general trend of the world depends on the people of the world. The people are the most important, the country is the second, and the king is the least."
"Isn't this what Uncle Zhongyong is saying to me, asking me to put the common people first?"
"Is this...also a duty?"
Li Changan clasped his fists decisively, "Chang'an doesn't dare."
There was no expression on Dugu Zhao's face. Although it was completely washed away, he still had a certain momentum, "Is there anything in this world that a loyal and brave uncle wouldn't dare to do?"
"Going north alone to join the war can turn the tide before the building collapses."
"Three southern prefectures are providing disaster relief, but under the sword of Uncle Zhongyong, heads are rolling in."
"The Six Nations Poetry Society defeated the six countries with one person."
"These are all made by Uncle Zhongyong."
Li Changan frowned slightly, vaguely guessing that he had aroused the fear of the empress.
The fame he gained from the things he did was so high.
As for whether he would be in danger, Li Changan was not worried.
Not to mention that there is a master watching in the sky, but simply speaking, the current Da Jin would not be able to maintain its luck without him. All fools know that they cannot act arbitrarily at this time.
Dugu Zhao asked,
"Li Changan, how do you think I should treat you?"
He didn't address himself as Uncle Zhongyong, nor did he call himself me, but the atmosphere in the royal study suddenly stagnated.
The imperial study room, which was still somewhat warm, is about to enter the cold winter.??
