Where in life can we stay away from the crowd? In the world of war, we regret to be separated for a while.
The foreign envoys of Heaven have not returned to Xueling, but the troops in Songzhou are still stationed in front of the palace.
There are drunken guests in the seats and sober guests, and clear clouds are mixed with rain clouds on the river.
Fine wine in Chengdu is good for old age, and you will still be Zhuo Wenjun when you are young.

The next day, the martial arts scholars moved into the martial arts school. The martial arts school was stationed in Beiya, with a magnificent venue, a racecourse, a martial arts training ground, an arsenal, etc., and everything you need.
The female disciples found another place to live in Xineiyuan on the north side of Tai Chi Palace. The female disciples' future tasks are mainly to patrol the inner courtyard of the palace and protect the royal family members. Therefore, the training content mainly focuses on fighting skills, assassination and investigation, etc.
In addition, there are also courses for women such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and beauty and beauty.
Since Emei Zhixue won the top prize in martial arts, bringing glory to the Bashu martial arts community, Jiannan Jiedu envoy Xian Yu Zhongtong took this opportunity to further harmonize his relationship with Yang Guozhong.
In the past few days, Yang Guozhong had been accompanying the emperor to observe the martial arts selections. Xuanzong had rarely been so diligent in recent years, and Yang Guozhong was exhausted.
When he returned home that day, Yang Guozhong called the third lady to the study and told him one by one about the martial arts competitions in the past few days. Yang Guozhong said: "Third sister, you are very thoughtful, help me analyze it."
After hearing this, Mrs. Yin, the third lady, smiled and said: "Listening to what your Excellency said, it can be seen that Your Majesty attaches great importance to this martial arts competition. Since I have guessed His Majesty's thoughts, I should add icing on the cake."
Yang Guozhong said: "I also have this intention, but I don't know where to start?"
Ms. Yin pondered for a moment and said: "In this martial arts competition, many martial arts scholars are from Bashu, and a disciple from Emei won the first prize. This shows that the Holy One is partial to Bashu. Think about it, it is right. All the noble concubines are from Bashu, so the Holy One naturally loves Wu Wu.
Your Excellency originally served in the army in Shu, and he can be regarded as half a native of Shu. Xian Yuxiang, the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, is your direct descendant. Zhangchou Jianqiong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, is the former envoy of Jiannan Jiedushi, and he is also related to you. How about that?
In the name of the Bashu disciples who won the martial arts test, he invited important officials from Shu, headed by Zhangchou and Xianyu, to win over these martial arts scholars. This could be used as a link to form his own direct lineage among the courtiers, and Li Linfu, Wang Li, etc.
Competing. Secondly, it can win over these young people who have no foundation or support in Chang'an. These children are highly skilled in martial arts. If they can be deliberately supported and trained, in time, they will become the core generals of the army. Hu people are dishonest and unkind, and there will be trouble in the future.
The military power will eventually be handed over to the Han people. These young generals are the greatest help for you to secure your position and dominate the officials!"
Yang Guozhong was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately decided to personally host a banquet for the Bashu Jinshi who had won the imperial examination within three days at his residence. Of course, Bai Fu was not included in the banquet because he had offended the Holy Emperor and was not selected as a Wu Jinshi.
…
Concubine Yang was extremely favored at this moment. Her clan brother Yang Guozhong entertained guests, and all the officials in the court flocked to her. On this day, important officials from the imperial court gathered at Yang Guozhong's mansion. Cars and horses crowded the alleys. Gifts were flowing in. Boxes were moved into Yang's house one by one. It was enviable.
Others.
As soon as Xianyu Zhongtong got out of the car, he saw Zhangchou Jianqiong's carriage approaching slowly. Xianyu Zhongtong walked forward quickly with a smile on his face and waited for his old superior beside the car.
As soon as Zhangchou Jianqiong lifted the car curtain, Xianyu Zhongtong's smile came into view. Zhangchou Jianqiong said in his heart: "I am no longer this person's superior, and he is now a feudal official. Every time he sees me, he doesn't show any slights.
This cultivation and government are truly extraordinary. Back then, he had a keen eye for recognizing people and recommended Yang Zhao, which is why the three of us have the prominent status we have today. This person should not be underestimated, and I must maintain this relationship well."
Zhangchou Jianqiong's face showed surprise and he said: "It turns out to be brother Zhongtong! We didn't drink well last time, so today we two brothers will not come home until we are drunk, haha." After getting off the car, he took the initiative to hold Xianyu Zhongtong's hand and walked in together.
Yang Mansion.
After everyone arrived, Yang Guozhong wore a Shu brocade purple robe and walked into the banquet hall. After Yang Guozhong took his seat, the ministers and Bashu boys took their seats one after another. Yang Guozhong said to the Bashu boys cordially: "Speaking of which, I also
I’m half a Shu native. Ever since you came to Beijing, I’ve been telling Mr. Xianyu that I must entertain you all and talk about my feelings. Unfortunately, I’m busy with government affairs, and I’m with the saint every day, so I can’t get away. Today is the perfect opportunity to invite you.
I gathered with the important officials from Shu in the DPRK to talk about the rainy night in Bashan."
Zhangchou Jianqiong took Yang Guozhong's words and said: "I am in charge of the household department because of Master Yang's recommendation. I see Master Yang every day and deal with all kinds of things. I only regret that my talent and knowledge are not enough, and I can't share the worries of Master Yang. Today, you took time out of your busy schedule to entertain me and others.
, I’m really grateful.”
Xian Yuzhong said: "This martial arts competition was originally to select martial arts scholars from various martial arts sects. Due to Yang Daren's advice, Sheng Fang knew that the Bashu Wulin had a special martial arts event like the 'Shu Mountain Sword Discussion', so he eliminated the sectarian opinion.
Unexpectedly, the selection scope has been expanded to the top 30 in the "Shushan Sword Theory". Only then can you achieve your glory today and your great future.
Master Yang is the banner of our Shu officials in the capital, and all Jinshi are disciples of Master Yang. In the future, everyone must work together, unite under Master Yang, cherish the friendship of the same disciples, and win glory for Bashu! I propose that everyone raise
Cup, let’s pay tribute to Mr. Yang on behalf of Bashu fathers and fellow villagers!” After that, he stood up with the cup.
Seeing this, all the ministers and Bashu youths also quickly stood up with their glasses and toasted Yang Guozhong together.
Zhangchou Jianqiong secretly said: "What Xianyu said to Xiang is so beautiful! The 'Sha Po Lang' pattern made the Holy Lord particularly suspicious of the Guanlong nobles who had military power. This time the martial arts examinations only started from Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Qingcheng, Kunlun, and Kongtong.
Waiting for the elites from the nine sects to be selected to re-train a group of young generals loyal to the Holy Emperor. As Bashu is located in a corner and has the least relationship with the Guanlong family, the selection scope has been expanded and has become the first choice for this promotion. In the past few days, the Holy Emperor has personally presided over the military affairs.
This move shows that the Holy Spirit attaches great importance to these martial arts scholars.
With these words, Xianyu Xiang directly gave this great contribution to Yang Zhao, asking each sect in Bashu to inherit his kindness, and quietly won over these martial arts scholars from Bashu to his sect. This high-hat gift did not leave any trace.
Your flattering skills are astounding!"
Sure enough, when Yang Guozhong heard this, he burst into laughter, picked up his wine glass and said, "You Jinshi are not only our young heroes in Bashu, but also the future pillars of the imperial court. As long as we serve the country wholeheartedly and serve our Holy Majesty loyally, we will definitely become Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in the future.
Such a famous general will open up new territories for His Majesty and create immortal achievements for eternity!"
"Okay!" All the courtiers cheered in unison and drank the wine in one gulp. These courtiers are all old men in the temple, how could they not understand the purpose of today's banquet. Seeing that Prime Minister Li is old, the Yang family is powerful, and the favor is increasing day by day.
Well, who wouldn’t want to take this line and climb the dragon and follow the phoenix?
Everyone tried their best, playing tricks, reciting poems and making jokes, setting off one climax after another in the banquet.
