In the end, Li Er had no choice but to promise gold and silk property, and formed an alliance with Jieli Khan to kill the white horse on the Weishui River Bridge.

Jieli Khan returned with a large amount of gold and silver treasures, full of satisfaction.However, the Weishui alliance was regarded by Li Er as a lifelong shame, and he hated the Turks deeply.

Now that he saw the two former soldiers who participated in the Yanmen War, Li Er felt respectful, and felt that what Li Wangyou said was to his liking.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to blame yourself. Now that I have established the Tang Dynasty not long ago, but my national strength is growing day by day, I believe that I will be able to avenge the shame of the Turkic people for humiliating me!" Changsun Wuji comforted.

Li Er remained silent, just looking at Li Wangyou and the others who were not far away.

The group of Confucian scholars choked on Li Wangyou's words, but they didn't know how to refute them.But as Li Wangyou said, even the soldiers of the former government were fighting Turkic people, and they were also Chinese national heroes.

Not knowing what to continue to say, Li Wangyou couldn't be scolded again and again, a group of people felt a little embarrassed, turned around and left with a cold snort.

"Everyone, don't get entangled with this person. Today's Qujiangchi Poetry Meeting is the most important thing. Let's go quickly."

"That's right. I heard that today's poem will be attended by important ministers of the imperial court. Even Du Xiang, Fang Xiang, Yu Mijian, Kong Jijiu and other great scholars will also participate. It is a great opportunity to show our talents. Hurry up. "

"Many of the [-] scholars of the Poetry Association will come to participate today. It is really a grand event in my literary world."

"Let's go, what are you entangled with this young man?"

The Confucian scholars looked like they didn't have the same knowledge as you, they surrounded each other and walked away quickly, but what they said made Li Wangyou stunned for a while.

Today's poetry meeting seems to be different from what I thought?

Originally, Li Wangyou wanted to come, the so-called poetry meeting was just a group of literati who had enough to eat and had nothing to do, and gathered together to recite poems and fight against each other.

But why do you listen to the words of this group of Confucian scholars just now, even great Confucian scholars like Eighteen Scholars have to participate?

Li Wangyou knew about the Eighteenth Bachelors in the early Tang Dynasty.

When Li Er was still the king of Qin, he built a "Literary Museum" to recruit the outstanding scholars at that time.

Take Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Yu Zhining, Su Shichang, Yao Silian, Xue Shou, Chu Liang, Lu Deming, Kong Yingda, Li Xuandao, Li Shousu, Yu Shinan, Cai Yungong, Yan Xiangshi, Xu Jingzong, Xue Yuanjing, Gai Wenda, Su Xu18 People are not bachelors.

Li Er also asked Yan Liben to make a portrait of the Eighteen Scholars, that is, "Portrait of the Eighteen Scholars", which was called "Eighteen Scholars Deng Yingzhou" at the time.

Among the 1 scholars, not to mention Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, Yu Shinan, Kong Yingda, and Yao Silian are all great Confucians of a generation, and there is even Xu Jingzong, a sinister guy who was later listed as No. [-] in the biography of a traitor.

No matter how I think about it, I feel like I was tricked by that bastard Yang Zuan in such a poetry meeting where a group of bigwigs are participating!

For a moment, Li Wangyou had the urge to turn around and leave, he didn't want to make a name for himself, making a fortune silently is the kingly way.If I really want to get the first name in such an eye-catching poetry meeting, I am afraid that there will be many troubles in the future.

The so-called text has no first, Wu has no second.

If he won the first prize in the poetry meeting, and a group of literati came to him to discuss articles every three days, wouldn't he be depressed to death?

Li Wangyou's eyes rolled wildly, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was wrong, he told the Niu brothers to go back.It doesn't matter if Yang Zuan's reward of [-] guan is worthless, it's great that I have drawn a few more nude sketches in the past two days.

As for Yang Zuan, just turn around and find a way to prevaricate.

Anyway, Yang Zuan didn't know what happened in Chang'an City.

Unexpectedly, Li Wangyou was about to turn around and leave when someone stopped him.

"Where is Ziyou going? The poetry meeting will be held over there." Yu Shinan said with a smile, pointing in the direction where the scholars and Confucian scholars were leaving.

Looking at Yu Shinan's old face with a smile like a bun, Li Wangyou felt a toothache, and he was even more sure that he had fallen into Yang Zuan's pit.

It would be strange if the old man Yu Shinan didn't know about Yang Zuan asking him to come to Chang'an Qujiangchi to participate in the poetry meeting.

"Yu Gong is also going to attend the poetry meeting? I suddenly remembered that there are still things at home. It's a pity that I can't participate in today's poetry meeting. It's a pity. Yu Gong, go slowly, the boy will leave first."

"It's really a pity that Ziyou has something to do. I heard Xu Qing said that he was going to find someone to collect debts. I wonder if Ziyou is for this?" Yu Shinan smiled like an old fox, with his tail behind him. Swayed.

Nima!Threatening debts again, does Yang Bailao have no human rights?

Li Wangyou seemed to have changed his face, and immediately smiled at Yu Shinan: "What is Yu Gong talking about, no matter how important the matter is, you have to participate in the poetry meeting, boy, go now, if you don't get the first name, you will never give up!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Yu Shinan to speak, he arched his hands, turned around and led the Niu family brothers, and trot away in the direction where the group of scholars left just now.

After Li Wangyou left, Li Ercai walked over slowly leading a group of important officials.

"Yu Gong, this Li Ziyou's temperament is very lazy and lazy." In the crowd, an old man looked at Li Wangyou's back and smiled.

The speaker was Kong Yingda, one of the 31 scholars, Guozijian Jijiu, the [-]st grandson of Confucius, the first sage.

"What Kong Gong said is very true. Ziyou has outstanding talents, but his temper is weak, and he still needs a lot of polishing." Yu Shinan laughed.

After Yu Shinan returned to Chang'an from Hu County, he spread the praises of Li Wangyou's two poems widely, which attracted a lot of court officials and Confucian scholars to remember Li Wangyou deeply.

Today, I accidentally saw Li Wangyou's eloquent tongue again, which made everyone feel amused, and even more curious about Li Wangyou.

Du Ruhui was not hesitant to praise him: "Just looking at the three poems of Li Ziyou, you can know that this son is not a thing in the pond. Given time, he must be a capable minister of Your Majesty."

Everyone can carry the sedan chair, especially the other ministers are all good people.Seeing that Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, and Yu Shinan were flattering Li Wangyou, many ministers also spoke up one after another, expressing their appreciation to Li Wangyou.

Li Er was noncommittal about this, and none of the ministers and generals could guess what he thought about Li Wangyou.

Li Wangyou didn't know that the reason why the poetry meeting was held in Qujiang Pond today, and so many ministers from the court and China participated, was because Li Er's first scientific examination after ascending the throne was coming soon.

The Imperial Examination in the Tang Dynasty was divided into more than 50 subjects, including Xiucai, Mingjing, Jinshi, Junshi, Mingfa, Mingzi, and Mingshu.

The Jinshi section mainly examines current affairs policies, poems, and articles.

The scientific examination is held by Shangshu Province. Because it is mostly held in spring, it is also called "Chunwei", which means the examination room.

In the Tang Dynasty, the selection of scholars not only depends on the test scores, but also the recommendation of famous people.Therefore, before the exam, the examinees rushed to the family of the Gongqing family to submit their masterpieces to them, which is called submitting papers.

Such things as submitting papers are seriously damaging the original intention of the imperial examination.

Originally, he wanted the children of the poor family to have a promotion channel, but because of the submission of papers, the poor family worshiped under the noble families of the aristocratic family one after another.The so-called "the upper class has no poor families, and the lower class has no noble families" is caused by this reason.

In Li Er's view, the aristocratic family is actually a cancer of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Li Huang's clan is the largest family in the Tang Dynasty, one of the five surnames and seven Wangs, the Longxi Li family is a wealthy family in the world.

However, the clans of the aristocratic families have mastered the culture and knowledge, and the clans of the aristocratic families hold the vast majority of positions in the court.

The aristocratic family who threatened the imperial rule naturally made Li Er jealous.

Li Er wanted to use the imperial examination to weaken the aristocratic family, but he didn't expect that just a system of submitting papers would almost make all his hard work go to waste.

So Li Er simply organized the Qujiangchi Poetry Meeting before Chunwei.

Let the students from all over the country who come to Chang'an to take the imperial examinations publicly show their talents, hoping to kill such things as submitting papers.
