Thinking that Yang Fan was pretending to be stupid, Changsun Wen looked very angry.
After all, the scandal between Yang Fan and Princess Changle has already spread to Chang'an, how could he not know about it?
What's more, Yang Fan just composed such an ambiguous poem
So Changsun Wen snorted coldly and said: "Why does Marquis Zhongyi ask questions knowingly? The toad wants to eat swan meat. Her Royal Highness Princess Changle is a pearl in the sky, how can you get your hands on it?"
"Although my eldest brother and Her Highness the Princess have reconciled, their feelings are still there. Why are you meddling in it?"
Yang Fan raised his eyebrows and said leisurely: "You humiliated yourself with the poem before the banquet. You had to ask me to write a poem. I did it, but you made irresponsible remarks. Do you really think I am easy to bully?"
Seeing Yang Fan pointing the finger at him, Xu Zhang quickly explained: "Marquis Zhongyi, how can you talk nonsense?"
"Xu just wanted to ask you for poetry, but he didn't ask you to insult Her Highness the Princess."
"What's more, as the Minister of Rites, you are responsible for the imperial examinations. Shouldn't you provide guidance to the students taking the examinations?"
Seeing that Yang Fan was being beaten, Princess Gao Yang quickly interjected before Yang Fan could answer: "Who said the poem just now was written for Sister Changle? Couldn't it be written for me?"
After saying that, he turned to look at Yang Fan and said softly: "Mr. Lang, can you write another poem for me?"
Although these words were all to protect Yang Fan and Princess Changle, Princess Gao Yang was still a little uneasy.
She was not afraid that Yang Fan's poems would be unsatisfactory, but she was afraid of being rejected.
Judging from Yang Fan's usual behavior, he will not look at her differently because of her status as a princess.
But Gao Yang had to say this.
After all, Yang Fan is his future husband. If he and his sister cause a storm in the city, it will become a stain on the royal family. Of course, Princess Gaoyang will not allow such a thing to happen.
Besides, Princess Gao Yang still admired Yang Fan's talent, and she also wanted Yang Fan to write a poem for her!
Yang Fan's heart trembled at the sight of Princess Gaoyang's watery eyes.
A beauty of her level and a noble princess status is extremely attractive to men.
What's more, Yang Fan can't help but feel a little dissatisfied with Her Royal Highness, the pioneer of free women.
I imagined how much fun it would be if one day I could get my hands on this top-notch fairy and launch an unbridled expedition.
Soon, his eyes turned to Princess Changle who was aside. It was obvious that the princess was also listening to his answer.
Suddenly, Yang Fan felt a cold feeling behind his back, and there was a feeling of thorns in his back!
Turning his head in surprise, he saw Chang Sun Wen's cold eyes staring at him without blinking.
His face was frosty and murderous, and his eyes seemed to want to kill Yang Fan, and he wanted to drink his blood and eat his flesh...
If he had a knife in his hand, he would definitely chop Yang Fan.
Yang Fan could ignore Changsun Wen's murderous intent, but he was a little surprised by Young Master Changle's reaction.
Does Her Royal Highness Princess Changle have a good impression of me?
Oh my god, what's going on?
Could it be that my brother's charm has reached a level where he can conquer this beautiful girl?
Although I was a little excited, I could only suppress the throbbing in my heart when I thought of my eldest grandson Wugou and Princess Gaoyang.
Because that scene is so terrible!
Just think about these women colliding together like sisters, the picture is so beautiful that you can't even imagine it!
what to do?
Waiting online!
urgent……
In his thoughts, Yang Fan had already made a decision. He must nip the goodwill that this beautiful girl had towards him in the bud!
With his mind racing, Yang Fan couldn't bear to look at Princess Changle, but smiled and said to Princess Gao Yang: "Thanks to Princess Gao Yang for being so considerate, if Yang continues to shirk, wouldn't it mean that she is ignorant?"
"As you said, the poems I wrote before the banquet were also given to you."
Although she knew the truth of Yang Fan's words, Princess Gao Yang was still very happy.
After all, Yang Fan agreed to write a poem for her and defended what she just said, so he obviously cared about her.
If Yang Fan knew that his actions were understood so well by Princess Gaoyang, he would laugh out of his dreams.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Yang Fan laughed.
Looking out the window at the spring trees and starry sky, you can also enjoy the singing and dancing not far away.
The light gave off a hazy feeling. Looking at Princess Gaoyang under the light, Yang Fan pretended to think for a while before chanting loudly:
"The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and even blows them down, and the stars are like rain.
BMW carvings fill the road with fragrance, phoenix flutes sound and jade pots turn light.
Fishes and dragons danced all night, moths and snow willows danced with golden threads.
The laughter was full of fragrance, and the crowd looked for him thousands of times. Suddenly, when I looked back, that person was in the dim light."
This song "Qing Jade Case·Yuan Xi'an" with "Thousands of flowers blooming on an east wind night" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
It is often regarded as a "love word" of the graceful school, describing a feeling of regret for meeting your sweetheart late.
In particular, the sentence "Searching for him in a crowd of hundreds of thousands of people" makes people think of the long and difficult time of searching for the lover of his dreams.
At first glance, when reading these last four sentences, the overall artistic conception is: a sigh of finding no place after wearing iron shoes and a hint of relief at unexpected encounters.
"Searching for others in the crowd thousands of times" is a kind of artistic conception, a kind of incisive state after hard work.
In Yang Fan's view, Song Dynasty poetry is the most able to express the love between men and women.
Are Xin Qiji's poems good?
The answer is of course yes!
Xin Qiji's life-long ambition was to recover, and he was proud of his achievements, but his fate was ill-fated and his ambition was hard to realize.
However, he never wavered in his belief in restoring the Central Plains. Instead, he put all his passion and concerns and worries about the rise and fall of the country and the destiny of the nation in his poems.
The artistic styles of his poems are diverse, mainly bold and unrestrained. His style is majestic and heroic yet delicate and charming. His themes are broad and he is good at using allusions into his poems. He expresses his patriotic enthusiasm for trying to restore the country's unity, expresses his sorrow and indignation that his ambitions are difficult to achieve, and expresses his gratitude towards the people who were in power at that time.
There are many condemnations for the humiliation of the people seeking peace, and there are also many works praising the land and rivers of the motherland.
This Song Dynasty writer and bold poet wrote countless works in his life, but this poem is Yang Fan's favorite.
This song "The Sapphire Case: Yuan Xi" has become a household name thousands of years later and is regarded as a representative of romance.
When Yang Fan finished reciting, everyone still heard that it was Yang Fan's style. The language was simple and natural, but also extremely concise, and he expressed his emotions with things.
Love is love, so clear, so lifelike, so touching, so meaningful and thought-provoking.
It is most appropriate for Yang Fan to copy this word and give it to his future wife.
After pondering for a while, Li Ke exclaimed: "The poem "Zhongyi Hou" was written casually, and it fits the scene. He deserves to be crowned the world's most talented person!"
After hearing this, Princess Gaoyang's eyes became blurred, her pretty face turned red, and she could almost squeeze the water out of her mouth. She was obviously deeply trapped in it.
Only Princess Changle was a little disappointed!
Her literary accomplishment is no worse than everyone here, so she is even more depressed!
Yang Fan had just composed a poem to stir up her mood, and now he has composed a better one. Apparently he was sincere in breaking up the relationship with her?
This matter is definitely not over!
For some reason, Princess Changle felt a trace of jealousy in her heart.
Of course, from a literary point of view, this poem is an excellent one, an improvisation that fits the situation. It is obvious that Yang Fan put his heart into it.
But why do I always feel a little jealous that Princess Gaoyang can find such a good husband?
Hearing everyone's compliments, Yang Fan had a relaxed smile on his face, clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and said with a genuine smile: "Everyone, what do you think?"
Everyone clapped and applauded, even Xu Zhang and the others who wanted to find trouble could only make far-fetched suggestions.
Changsun Wen's face was pale and his whole body was shaking. No one knew better than him what kind of situation he would encounter when such a poem came out.
If His Majesty Li Er is accused of deliberately slandering the princess, not only will he be unable to advance further in the officialdom, but even his eldest grandson's family will be implicated.
Changsun Wen couldn’t sit still anymore!
He stood up with a sad expression, cupped his hands towards Li Ke, and forced out a smile: "Your Highness King Wu, I just misunderstood the relationship between Princess Changle and Marquis Zhongyi. Please forgive me and take my leave first!"
After that, he didn't wait for Li Ke's answer, and left without looking back.
He now also knows that he was pulled out by Xu Zhang and others...
Li Ke sighed: "Marquis Zhongyi, you are too arrogant!"
There is quite a bit of worry in the words!
Yang Fan just smiled slightly when he heard this and didn't care at all. Anyway, he had already offended the eldest son's family several times, so one more time wouldn't hurt.
What's more, this kid was obviously being taken advantage of, so it was considered polite not to make things more difficult for him.
However, Yang Fan was still a little moved. After all, the relationship between the eldest son's family and the emperor and the prince was not simple.
If Li Ke acted like a normal person and didn't treat him as a friend at all, Yang Fan would be even more disappointed and might not have any contact with him in the future.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly: "He brought the humiliation upon himself. He had to accuse Her Highness Princess of innocence. He doesn't blame me for that."
Li Ke smiled bitterly and said: "You are still so unreasonable and unforgiving. You must change it in the future, otherwise you will easily suffer losses.
Yang Fan was very considerate to him: "Thank you for your teaching, Your Highness."
After saying that, he turned to look at Xu Zhang and asked, "Do you still have any doubts?"
Xu Zhang smiled brightly, feeling a little embarrassed: "I admire Marquis Zhongyi for his unparalleled poetic talent, but being able to recite poems and compose poems does not mean that he is talented."
"If you want us to admit you, if you have the ability, you can take the imperial examination with us. Do you dare to accept the appointment?"
"As long as you come out on top in this year's imperial examination, Xu and the people around you will shun you when they see you."
Everyone was in an uproar when they saw Xu Zhang trying to cause trouble again and again.
This person is so shameless that he could come up with such a reason to hold back.
Yang Fangui is the Minister of Rites, why should he take the imperial examination with a bunch of new recruits like you?
Isn't this too ridiculous?
Princess Gao Yang also looked at Yang Fan with some worry.
Because she knows that a good talent for poetry does not mean that she is good at policy making.
Obviously, Yang Fan acted out of common sense and stared at Xu Zhang for a while with a faint smile: "There is no problem in agreeing to you, but what benefits can I get? Is it just your approval?"
Xu Zhang and others were a little happy when they heard Yang Fan's promise at first, but they were a little embarrassed when they heard Yang Fan's question. They asked with some uncertainty: "What does Marquis Zhongyi want?"
Yang Fan said lightly: "Whoever loses will not be allowed to enter officialdom for life, how about that?"
Xu Zhang and others looked horrified, but in the end they gritted their teeth and nodded for the sake of luck and calculation in their hearts.
An agreement was reached and the party continued.
A prince like Li Ke, who was born into an imperial family, has a sharp ear, a sharp eye, and a delicate heart. He is a master at adjusting the atmosphere. He immediately raised his glass and invited everyone to drink together.
This bet did not affect the progress of the banquet!
…
Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace.
I have to admit that His Majesty Li Er is not only very capable, but also very open-minded.
Although he came to the throne in a shady way and was criticized a lot, he himself is indeed of great magnanimity.
Especially after becoming the emperor, he did not kill all the former prince Li Jiancheng's subordinates.
As long as you come here, most people know how to make good use of people and entrust them with important tasks.
The establishment of Baiqi is not so much a spy organization to spy on intelligence, but rather a department established by His Majesty Li Er to satisfy his own gossip.
His Majesty Li Er has always been extremely confident and dared to entrust Prince Yin's subordinates with important responsibilities, because he was confident that he had absolute control over the army, and even one or two small fish could not make waves.
Dare to let Li Tai fight for the throne because he is confident that everything is under his control and there will never be any uncontrollable situation!
Therefore, such a person would not allow the secret service to monitor his son's every move.
His Majesty Li Er holds the world in his hands, who dares to rebel?
Therefore, when Li Junxian was training Baiqi, His Majesty Li Er strictly ordered not to collect his son's privacy.
Some innocuous information can be used as conversation starters, but some bottom-line information must be kept strictly confidential, even if it is collected accidentally.
When His Majesty Li Er had finished his morning court and was drinking tea in the palace, he accidentally asked what interesting things happened at Li Ke's banquet yesterday.
Li Junxian is very confused?
Knowing people well and assigning them well is a very outstanding skill of His Majesty Li Er. He can almost know the temperament of his subordinates very well.
Therefore, when Li Junxian hesitated for a moment, Li Er noticed something strange.
"tell me the story."
His Majesty Li Er said calmly.
"No!" Li Junxian responded.
I organized my language a little and reported the events at Li Ke's banquet to His Majesty Li Er concisely.
Hearing that what happened in the residence of King Wu Li Ke, His Majesty Li Er looked a little hesitant: "I have said more than once not to pry into the secrets of the emperor. Why don't you listen?"
After speaking, his voice was very serious.
Li Junxian quickly knelt on one knee in the hall, feeling heartbroken and aggrieved by His Majesty Li Er's courage.
I didn't want to say it at first, but you asked me to say it. After I said it, you lost your temper again and it was too much.
Li Er also saw what Li Junxian was thinking and said: "I just urge you to remember to stick to your duty and never rely on power to cause trouble in Chang'an City."
Li Junxian respectfully agreed.
"Okay, since you want to say it, it's not a private matter, so let's hear it."
Li Junxian complained in his heart: I didn't want to say it, you asked me to say it, so he told what happened at the banquet of King Wu Li Ke.
Before Li Junxian started to say anything, he did not forget to add: "Your Majesty, it is clear that this matter was not deliberately inquired by the subordinates. It was because some of the people who attended the banquet made it a joke after returning home, and then it spread in the city.
."
His Majesty Li Er slightly nodded his head. The superiors should supervise their subordinates at all times, but they cannot do so endlessly.
If you go too far, it will turn into suspicion and distrust, and it will also make your subordinates feel bored, which is what a wise king should not do.
Li Junxian said that this happened because someone was making trouble for Yang Fan, and His Majesty Li Er asked: "Did that bastard Yang Fan have a conflict with someone again?"
Li Junxian quickly replied: "Your Majesty, there is no big conflict, but Marquis Zhongyi made a bet with someone."
"Oh? Tell me!" His Majesty Li Er suddenly became interested.
