Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 221 The Shock From Luo Yan

Li Shimin's words finally gave Luo Yan some confidence.To be honest, Luo Yan himself was a little tired this year.Not to mention running around, how can I still feel as comfortable as before.All kinds of restrictions imposed on him by himself or others made him, who was originally a little idle, feel more and more changed.

As for returning to Beijing, it wasn't that Luo Yan didn't want to come.All kinds of conditions in Chang'an are much better than those outside. Seriously, any foreign official would not want to be able to enter Beijing.If rumors are released that degraded officials can enter Beijing, hundreds of officials will come.It's just that Luo Yan also has an advantage in Jinzhou, that is, doing a doctorate in state studies there for a year can not only consolidate his knowledge, but also exercise his ability to give lectures accordingly.

If you arrive in Chang'an.I have to be with Li Shimin every day, and when I lose my freedom, wouldn't such a good thing be gone.

Don't underestimate this lecture, Luo Yan now has a lot of reputation points that come from these three months of lectures.What's more, Chang'an is full of great Confucian scholars, if I rashly act like Jinzhou, it will be too much.What's more, since the name of the system is Wen Zong, if the students he teaches can produce a few Jinshi, there will be no additional benefits if he can't tell.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Luo Yan rejected Li Shimin's proposal.

He felt a little regretful, but when he heard that Fang and Du also said the same thing, Li Shimin stopped thinking about continuing.The banquet had to continue. After talking about Luo Yan, everyone started to have a banquet while discussing some private matters.

This is the first time in more than a year that the old forces of Prince Qin's Mansion have gathered together like this.When Li Shimin said that the banquet was open, these people were not polite, and put the food that had been on the table for a long time into their plates and began to savor it carefully.

Luo Yan, who had eaten some earlier, could not eat at this moment, so he could only sit and watch other people eat.But eating is not just to fill the stomach, the main show is still the next drink.Wenchen's side was better, at least Mance ate something orderly.The generals, especially Cheng Zhijie, who was sitting next to Luo Yan, swallowed the food in twos and threes, and waited for Li Shimin to invite everyone to drink.

Seeing that Luo Yan was still sitting on the side, Cheng Zhijie laughed and scolded: "If it weren't for Your Majesty's sudden interest tonight, we would not have had this opportunity to bring you over for a drink. Thinking about how you beat me to death that day, tonight I must Make gestures with you. I heard that you drank five altars of Jiannan Shaochun on New Year’s Eve. You are a prodigal son, and you don’t remember calling me when you drink. If you want to drink as good as Jiannan Shaochun, how can you be like you? Cow drink. It must be served in a wine cup and savored carefully one by one."

Said with some regret, Cheng Zhijie pulled Luo Yan and continued to mutter: "If there is such a good wine in the future, you must remember to call me."

As Cheng Zhijie said, Yuchi Jingde, his old enemy next to him, accosted: "You are an old man. The ten altars that His Majesty rewarded you did not see you please wait, and they were all eaten before the festival. What are you drinking one by one? , are you that kind of person? When you eat wine, you don't take the biggest bowl, for fear that you will eat less." The two are used to bickering, and at this moment Yuchi Gong revealed his shortcomings without mercy.

"It's not the same with you. I was thinking of going to your place for a while, but who knows that you are not a good thing. It's fine if you don't give me a little bit, and you just dragged me to drink that bad wine like swill for a long time. Wait for me As soon as I went out, you announced that you dragged me to finish the tribute wine. I didn't go to a house these days, and all they gave me were common drinks in the market." Cheng Zhijie complained a little.This blame made him reluctant to bear it. There are so many people at the moment, so he naturally wants to push it away.

The two people here are bickering, and the civil servants over there have heard about it and are pointing fingers at the two of them.

Hearing what the two said, Yu Zhining who was not far away smiled wryly and said, "The two of you were visiting all over the place during that time, and you went to drink together." However, for these hard-working people, Li Shimin's restrictions are not so severe.

Hearing what Yu Zhining said, the two quickly shut their mouths.Just when Luo Yan was full of confusion, Yu Zhining suddenly scolded: "You two are shameless, it turned out that your own wine was finished, and that's why I took my share of the idea. Unfortunately, I thought you were waiting Remembering the old love, seeing my old friend go, bring out the best wine to entertain you two."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present could not laugh or cry.But Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Zhijie didn't refute, just smiled and said: "Oh, don't be so stingy when you are old. This time we are familiar with each other twice, and then we also went there twice. We are so familiar with each other, so why bother about a little drink. At worst, I will treat you to good wine in the future."

Anyway, the two brought their shamelessness to the extreme, and Yu Zhining rolled his eyes.However, the situation of a few people caused others to burst into laughter.

In the cheerful atmosphere, everyone turned back to discuss the recent poetry competition.After all, the agreed time is not too long. Du Ruhui and Luo Yan are both here. Although the ending has already been decided, everyone still wants to know whether Luo Yan is sure of the tie.Anyway, there is a huge gap between a little kid and a person who has studied classics for more than ten years.

This matter was provoked by Li Shimin himself.After Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde's laughter ended, Li Shimin thought it was because he was curious, so he asked, "Luo Yan, I've been hearing from Keming that you teach Du He with great care these days, I don't know how sure you are when the time comes Get the result right?"

Li Shimin's questioning is also quite skillful.What does it mean to get the result right? Doesn't it mean that the two sides must draw a tie, Luo Yan and Du He can't lose or win.

Thinking about Du He's achievements in the past few days, Luo Yan recalled the other party's ability, and then replied: "Here, there is a [-]% chance of winning, [-]% chance of losing, and [-]% chance of a tie."

This answer was given by Luo Yan after careful consideration, but it was this answer that surprised everyone present.How could a nine-year-old child have such a chance of winning in just one month?

With suspicious faces, everyone looked at Du Ruhui.If Luo Yan's words were a bit exaggerated, then Du Ruhui's answer was quite reliable.After all, although he was Du He's father, he was always fair and would not judge with personal emotions.

Du Ruhui also thought about it, and with a little embarrassment on the corner of his mouth, he said: "Although they caused this incident, it is also related to my Erlang after all, so I also privately searched for the essays and poems of the other boy. On the whole, he is good at Confucian classics, his essays are not good, but his poetry is a bit unbearable. I think Luo Yan, a cunning boy, knows this, so he has the courage to pull Du He out."

Although Du Ruhui didn't say anything clearly, everyone knew what he meant.

Everyone looked at Luo Yan as if they were looking at a monster.Even Li Shimin was a little surprised at this moment, and asked: "Luo Yan, tell me carefully, did you already know?"

Nodding his head, Luo Yan would naturally not deny it at this moment: "Naturally. I just proposed the innovation of poetry and prose that day, and this person wrote several letters scolding me. Damn. Although I am in Jinzhou, I asked someone to collect and read the poems and essays he wrote over the years. When I heard his name downstairs that day, I remembered it. "

Speaking of this, Luo Yan gritted his teeth: "It's fine if he fights with me alone, but he still wants to propose a competition. For me, this is not courting death or anything. It's just that I am a bit overwhelmed by myself. Small, but I couldn't let out the breath in my heart, so I pulled Du He out."

This made some people nod their heads, and some generals even clapped their hands.But there are also noisy ones, such as Cheng Zhijie. "I said the surname is Luo, you look down on my youngest son, don't you? Think about it, if you want to vent your anger, what's the use of a boy like Du He who is almost ten years old. Think about it, a six-year-old boy is still from the family of a general What a joy it is to write poems to win over the heir of a civil servant in his twenties.”

This is quite shameless.Though thinking about it that way, it's really satisfying.But thinking about who Cheng Zhijie was, everyone felt a little chilled.If Cheng Chubi was pulled out at the beginning, and then he could still win, then this old guy won't be bragging about it.Hearing what he said just now, the intention is quite obvious.

Luo Yan also said with a wry smile at this moment: "General Cheng, it's not like you don't know that your third son is indeed one of the best among those boys in terms of intelligence and wit. I didn’t admit everything, how do you ask me to let him go up. Compared with Du He, he is indeed a little worse.”

Cheng Zhijie might be a little annoyed if others said this, but Luo Yan taught Cheng Chubi himself, so he didn't know the details of his monkey.What's more, Luo Yan was really kind to Cheng Chubi at the beginning, so after hearing Luo Yan's words, he could only say in a muffled voice: "Since this is the case, don't forget my little third son if there are any good things in the future. "The two of you are so similar, they are both masters who don't suffer.

However, Du Ruhui's other sentence shocked everyone even more.

"What really surprised me was Professor Luo Yan's ability to compose poems. My family, Erlang, you all know that. The talent is not high, and he can only be a middle-aged man. But in the past half a month, he looks different every day. If I don't go back every night I will take the school exam once, and I will think that there is a demon possessed. I can memorize a rhyme book in three days, read hundreds of poems by famous masters in five days, and sort out all kinds of rhythms and allusions. If I didn’t see it with my own eyes See, how dare I believe it."

As soon as these words came out, even Li Shimin asked anxiously: "Ke Ming, are you serious?"

After getting Du Ruhui's affirmation, Li Shimin sighed, pointed at Luo Yan and said, "I really don't know whether pulling you to my side is good or bad."
