While several people were talking, three more young people got out of the carriage behind.
These three people are dignified in appearance, handsome in appearance, exuding a gentle and elegant atmosphere, and have a kind of "gongziruyu" chicness.
This kind of pretty boy with a handsome gentleman appearance is the most popular among women who live in deep boudoirs in this era.
Yang Fan really didn't expect that the water in the south of the Yangtze River is really nourishing. Not only the girls are white and beautiful, but also the men are so handsome.
Although there is still some gap between these three people and Li Ke.
But in terms of handsomeness alone, he is really slightly better than Yang Fan.
Of course, Yang Fan would never admit it!
However, I still feel a little depressed in my heart.
Now is not the era of transvestites, so why are there so many pretty girls?
Just as Yang Fan was indignant, these people came directly to the girl's carriage and asked with concern.
"After all the hard work, has Miss Yueru ever been well?"
"Yes, Miss San Niang, come down and have a rest!"
"Come on, come on, I will personally hold the stool for Miss Yueru."
…
The attentive look of the three people was no different from some kind of "licking" in later generations.
I never expected that in the Tang Dynasty, where men were superior to women, such "dogs" existed.
Yang Fan couldn't help but think about it!
Could it be that this bad habit is also inherited from ancient times?
Looking at this familiar scene, Yang Fan felt a sense of kindness and couldn't help but sympathize with these young people.
Licking the dog, licking the dog... licking until there is nothing left, this principle is the same from ancient to modern times.
What's more, the girl in the car didn't pay attention to them at all, but jumped out of the carriage.
Movements are elegant and casual.
Although the girl looks fragile, she has a lively and active personality.
Like a light butterfly dancing under its feet, it came to the old man named Chen, took the old man's arm, shook it and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, why don't you leave? Are you there?"
The eyes of the old man surnamed Chen were full of doting, but his face was serious as he said: "There are outsiders here, how can they be so unruly, let me introduce to you, this is His Highness the King of Wei... Your Highness, this is my useless granddaughter.
…”
The girl's big eyes twinkled as she looked curiously at the fat man in front of her. This man with a huge waist and abdomen was the King of Wei, Li Tai?
Although she was a little surprised, the girl still said hello crisply: "Chen Yueru, a citizen girl, has met His Highness King Wei!"
Seeing such a beautiful girl, Li Tai's eyes lit up, and his narrowed eyes widened a lot, but he still pretended to be personable and said: "Miss Yueru, don't be too polite!"
Then he sighed: "It is said that the soil and water nourish the people. The mountains and waters in the south of the Yangtze River are beautiful. No wonder it can nourish a fairy as smart as Yueru."
For Li Tai's flattery.
If she hadn't seen two women who were not weaker than her, Chen Yueru might still be a little complacent.
But now that Li Tai said this, Chen Yueru was a little dissatisfied. She quickly glanced at Yang Fan and muttered softly: "Flattery!"
Li Tai was immediately embarrassed.
As His Majesty Li Er's favorite prince, any girl you want will be automatically sent to your door without flirting with her?
Who would have thought that there was someone who fell in love with him, but she didn't give him face like this? It was too disrespectful to take him as a prince seriously!
Of course, it's not easy for Li Tai to get angry.
Who wants someone to have an awesome grandpa?
So Li Tai could only quickly change the subject: "Everyone is tired from the journey, so we should go inside and take a rest!"
With that said, he took the lead and led everyone into the main hall.
…
As night falls, sparks rise in the courtyard, illuminating the entire main hall clearly.
At this time, Yang Fan was already over thirty after drinking, and Yang Fan secretly looked at the people present.
There were many people in the main hall. In addition to Li Tai, Li Chengqian, Chang Le and others, there were also some other princesses and consorts.
In addition, there are Lin servants from the south of the Yangtze River, grandsons surnamed Chen, and a few young people who cannot be named.
As the host this time, Li Tai brought up the topic and asked the old man surnamed Chen: "Old Chen has come all the way, why didn't you inform me in advance so that I can prepare?"
I can only have two glasses of wine, I'm afraid I'm neglecting Mr. Chen."
The old man surnamed Chen chuckled, stroking the beard under his chin and said leisurely: "Your Highness, you are too polite. This old man came here only on a temporary basis."
"My granddaughter Yueru has always wanted to come to the capital to see the world. It happened that several talents from Jiangnan came together, so I had the audacity to come together to increase my knowledge."
If this famous scholar from Jiangnan came here just to accompany his granddaughter, I would not believe it even if I beat Li Tai to death.
The old man surnamed Chen is called Chen Xueli, and he is a famous Confucian scholar in the south of the Yangtze River.
It can be said that Chen Xueli's status among Jiangnan students is as resounding as Kong Yingda in Guanzhong.
For such a great scholar who is devoted to academic research, how can he have time to accompany these little brats to play? It is simply nonsense.
Although he was very suspicious, Li Tai couldn't get to the bottom of it and could only say with a smile: "Mr. Chen is right. Although Jiangnan has rich people and outstanding people, Chang'an has many scenic spots, and the royal gardens are even more unique. There are
King Time will take you to visit."
Chen Xueli waved his hand: "Thank you, Your Highness, but when it comes to outstanding people and places, Guanzhong is the place with the most talented people. It is said that His Highness the King of Wei has learned a lot. The "Kuo Di Zhi" he compiled is coming to an end. I still want to borrow it to take a look!
"
Hearing these words, Li Tai felt very happy.
"Kuo Di Zhi" was a masterpiece that the emperor asked him to complete. Although he was not solely responsible for it, he was naturally very proud to be praised by Jiangnan scholars, so he said with a smile:
"Although Mr. Chen rarely goes out to the south of the Yangtze River, your name has already spread throughout Guanzhong. I am really happy to have the honor to listen to your teachings this time. If Mr. Chen can give you some guidance, it will be a true blessing in my life."
Regarding Li Tai's modesty, Chen Xueli nodded happily.
Although His Highness has a huge waist and abdomen, he is too fat and has difficulty moving.
However, he is relatively humble in his dealings with others, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. He is indeed somewhat talented.
Regarding Li Tai's rejection, Chen Xueli was still a little proud. After hearing this, he smiled and said: "Your Highness has given you too much praise. The common people have poor knowledge and do not deserve your Highness's praise. I just want to concentrate on studying, not for reputation or seeking an official position, but for It is enough to read the books of sages and educate the children of the world!"
After saying that, the back of the thin body was straight, and the whole body was filled with a tough and upright temperament, with an upright mind and an air of serving the country and the people!
Everyone was in awe for this behavior, and several Jiangnan students even raised their heads proudly, as if the honor belonged to them.
At this time, the Lin servant interjected: "Brother Chen lived in seclusion in the south of the Yangtze River, studied and wrote books, and his reputation as a great Confucian was widely spread throughout the world."
"When I arrived in the capital this time, in addition to appreciating the beauty of Guanzhong, I also wanted to lead several talented people from the south of the Yangtze River to make friends through literature."
Li Tai suddenly realized: "Jiangnan is gentle and elegant, while Guanzhong is strong and bold. Not only are the scenery different, but the folk customs are also very different. The poems and articles written by them also have their own characteristics, and they can be said to have their own merits."
"Since Mr. Chen has traveled thousands of miles to meet friends through literature, it would be better to stay here longer so that I can ask for more advice and make progress."
Chen Xueli stroked his beard, his face full of humility: "Your Highness is so complimentary. He is an old man with only a vain reputation. How can he bear the responsibility?"
"Guanzhong is the capital of the emperors. I don't know how many heroes have gathered together, and there are many literati. How can I dare to play tricks in front of all the heroes of the world?"
"What's more, there are many famous figures from the Tang Dynasty gathered in the literature hall of His Highness's residence. I don't dare to do anything for them. When it comes to giving guidance to Your Highness, I absolutely don't dare."
Hearing this, Li Tai looked proud.
The Literature Museum was established by the emperor, and the people inside were actually his disciples.
Apart from Prince Li Chengqian, only Li Tai had the honor of setting up a literary museum alone.
Qianshi chuckled and said, "You're so polite, Mrs. Chen. Your name has already been heard by me for a long time, but I just didn't have the opportunity to meet you."
"Because I admired your name, I asked Governor Lin to send back a portrait of you so that I could benefit from your talent!"
"I have heard that Mr. Chen is not only proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, but also has profound attainments in poetry and songs. I wonder if there are any good works recently, so that everyone here can have a quick look and appreciate the literary style of Jiangnan?"
Chen Xueli was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Tai and asked: "Does His Highness also like poetry? That's great. Although I don't have any great works in poetry, there happens to be a rising star in this trip, and his poetry is rare. excellent work."
Li Tai suddenly became interested: "Oh? Then Mr. Chen should quickly introduce me to the king. But what a coincidence. There is also a master of poetry in Chang'an. We can learn from each other."
Before Chen Xueli could speak, a young man in brocade robes stood up, gave Li Tai a casual salute, and said, "Mr. Chen is overrated. I am just free and arty, writing lyrics and music to entertain myself."
Le, how can you deserve to have profound attainments?"
Although his words were very modest, his high head could not conceal his arrogant nature.
Li Tai looked confused: "You are..."
The man in brocade clothes clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Huang Luan is my uncle, the common man Huang Bi..."
I have never heard of the name Huang Ben, but Huang Luan is somewhat familiar with it.
But Li Tai didn't immediately think of who it was.
The forest servant on the side quickly said: "Your Highness, Huang Luan is currently the imperial censor, and he was originally recommended by your Highness."
After being reminded, Li Tai suddenly realized: "It turns out that Huang Yushi is uncle Qi, so we are a family. We have time to communicate more."
Huang Ben said excitedly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. However, the common people are a little curious. I would like to know who the master of poetry mentioned by Your Highness is, and I would like to see him."
Li Tai smiled and said: "This master of poetry is Wannian County Duke Yang Fan..."
Before he finished speaking, Huang Ben's face suddenly darkened, and he said in a hateful voice: "Has Your Highness been deceived? Yang Fan is a shameless person, and is really a disgrace to our generation of scholars. How can he be worthy of the name of a master of poetry?"
Li Tai was a little confused.
What's happening here?
Yang Fan offended you?
He quickly glanced in the direction of Yang Fan and saw that Yang Fan had been interacting with Xiao Sizi and had not noticed the situation here, so he asked: "Is there something going on between Yang Fan and you?"
Hearing this, Huang Ben's face suddenly darkened. He gritted his teeth and said to Li Tai, "Your Highness, in addition to meeting friends with literature, I came to Beijing this time because I want to expose Yang Fan's hypocritical face."
Li Tai was confused by his expression and asked, "Do you know Yang Fan?"
Then I thought about it, it shouldn’t be!
Yang Fan was sitting over there. If the two of them were really enemies, why didn't they know each other when they met?
What's more, Yang Fan has never been to Jiangnan, and Huang Ben has never been to Guanzhong. The two have no intersection, so how can they have any hatred?
Before Li Tai could figure out the reason, Huang Bi said angrily: "Your Highness, you have to make decisions for the common people. Of course I don't know Yang Fan, who is such a shameless person, and I don't want to know him..."
Li Tai was immediately stunned.
What's happening here?
Because Huang Ben's voice was not quiet, it attracted all the attention at once.
Yang Fan was a little stunned and looked at the angry young man in brocade clothes in surprise.
Yang Fan still has the impression that this person is one of the girl's three lickers.
But I don’t seem to have had any conflict with him, right?
Although I often cause trouble, others always find trouble first.
This guy just came from Jiangnan. He has never been to Jiangnan. The two of them are completely different from each other. How can there be any entanglement?
Yang Fan's first reaction was that someone was plotting against him.
In order to understand the situation, I could only try to suppress the anger in my heart.
She even stopped Princess Gaoyang's idea of coming forward with her eyes.
If Yang Fan hadn't deliberately sat with Princess Jinyang and other female family members, he might have attracted attention.
However, even so, Chen Yueru, who had been paying attention to Yang Fan and others, seemed to have discovered something!
When Li Tai saw Yang Fan, he also wanted to find out. He asked at the right time: "Since Wannian County Duke and you are not acquainted, why did Mr. Huang say this?"
Huang Ben had an angry look on his face. He stopped talking and turned to look at Chen Xueli.
Knowing that he could no longer remain silent, Chen Xueli sighed: "Now that Your Highness is in charge, you might as well speak out and ask everyone to comment."
Hearing what Chen Xueli said, Li Tai became even more surprised and asked Chen Xueli: "Mr. Chen, what is going on?"
Chen Xueli had a confused look on his face, and after a long while, he sighed and said, "Your Highness, when I talk about this, I feel quite weird, it's unbelievable!"
"Do you all remember the poem "When will the bright moon come"? It is said that it was written by Yang Fan, a talented man from Guanzhong. I wonder if the palace has ever heard of it?"
As a lover of poetry, Li Tai has naturally heard of it, and often ponders over it, even considering this poem as Qiuxi's pinnacle work.
At that time, he wished he could keep this poem as his own. After all, such a good poem would be very good for improving his personal image.
But Yang Fan made it on the spot at Wangyue Tower. With so many talented people as witnesses, who would dare to claim it as his own?
Thinking of this, Li Tai nodded and said: "This is a good poem. Of course I have heard of it."
Chen Xuezhu sighed again, his face full of disbelief, and said slowly: "But the problem is, this poem was written by Huang Ben on the same day in Jiangnan. According to him, he had already drafted the poem.
It was only Qiu Xi who took it out that day. I asked several students, and they confirmed that this poem was written by Huang Ben."
boom!
Everyone present was shocked.
Li Tai even cried out: "Isn't this impossible?"
Plagiarism is a shame for literati, and it is the most abhorred thing in this era!
In this age of poetry and wine, a famous poem that has been passed down through the ages is enough to make a commoner rise to prominence!
In the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty, there were special exams on poetry. As long as you had good poetry, you could become an official.
Just imagine, if a person lets someone else write for him, or plagiarizes and steals someone else's work, this is simply a crime of bullying!
What's more, anyone who hires someone to write for him or plagiarize must have poor talent and bad moral character.
Such a person, once proven, will be despised by the scholars, and it is not easy to lose his reputation.
Li Tai simply didn't believe that Yang Fan would do such a thing.
Besides, Yang Fan didn't just write poems like "When Will the Bright Moon Come?"
A famous piece like "The Story of Ailian" is no worse than "When Will the Bright Moon Come"!
Besides, this poem has been written for more than a year. Why didn't it come out earlier and later? Why did it come out at this time? What's more, he wanted to take advantage of Li Tai's hands.
The most important thing is that His Majesty Li Er has just transferred the two fiefdoms of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou to Princess Gaoyang.
Now that something like this happened, would Yang Fan suspect that he arranged it and deliberately interfered with it?
Thinking of this, Li Tai immediately smelled a hint of conspiracy.
If this is a conspiracy, it has obviously been planned for more than a year, then the calculations of these people are terrible!
Thinking that these people had actually plotted against him, Li Tai's fat face suddenly darkened. He stared at Huang Ben with a pair of small eyes and said word by word: "Huang Ben, this matter is of great importance. You'd better think about it clearly."
Let’s talk about it later, if it’s just a quick talk that ruins Wannian County Duke’s character and reputation, even His Majesty won’t be able to protect you.”
To be honest, Li Tai didn't believe what they said.
Li Tai thought he had a certain understanding of Yang Fan's character, after all, he had studied it specifically.
Although Yang Fan is very naive, he usually acts unruly, disrespects etiquette, and even has a sense of absurd impulsiveness.
But it can be said that he is an upright gentleman, not a villain with dirty thoughts.
Plagiarism?
Absolutely impossible!
What's more, whether it's the prevention and control of the smallpox plague or the reform of the imperial examination...
These achievements are enough to make Yang Fan famous, but Yang Fan dismisses them.
Therefore, if Yang Fan wants to become famous, he does not need to rely on plagiarism.
