The official road of the farmer

As soon as Emperor Tai'an finished speaking, the scene fell silent for a moment.

Then the good-for-nothings yelled out of fear that the world would not be chaotic: "Your Majesty's intentions are wonderful! Our new Jinshi are all outstanding talents, and this literary battle must be absolutely wonderful and eye-opening!"

"Our new Jinshi are all like this, and they are not stage fright!" A flushed official gave a thumbs up and praised.

In an instant, all the officials present echoed.

Most of the Xinke Jinshi blushed and were very excited when they were praised.

As for Ye Junshu, Yu Maolin and Deng Hongyuan, as the top three Jinshi in the new department, most of the eyes were basically on them.

Even Emperor Tai'an looked at them with a smile on his face.

Deng Hongyuan stood up, bowed to Emperor Tai'an, and said in a loud voice: "I am willing to accept the challenge."

Ye Junshu and Yu Maolin looked at each other, stood up and said in unison: "I am willing to accept the challenge."

This Qionglin Banquet, thinking about it, they couldn't let them go on indifferently, even if Ye Junshu and Yu Maolin didn't want to show off the limelight, they couldn't refuse under the current situation.

Moreover, Ye Junshu noticed that the chief executive seemed to have said something in Emperor Tai'an's ear, which made Emperor Tai'an open his mouth to let them fight.

Ye Junshu soon thought of the family members in Dongyuan.

Thinking of the other layer of nature of the Qionglin Banquet, Ye Junshu immediately became 100% energetic. He is a person with a heart, and he will never mess with a rotten peach blossom.

Emperor Tai'an clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, let us see the demeanor of the new scholars."

The chief executive is worthy of being the No.1 around Emperor Tai'an, and he can understand his meaning without the Emperor Tai'an telling him.

He clapped his hands, and two rows of young and handsome palace servants stepped forward, quickly cleared up the seats, and replaced them with snacks and tea.

Ye Junshu took the time to ask Yu Maolin, "Is it okay?"

Yu Maolin nodded, his complexion was rosy, as if he had applied good rouge, but his eyes were still clear, just slightly drunk.

He stood up and took a cool breeze, and his mind became clearer.

At this time Emperor Tai'an said again: "Empress Shicai sent someone to convey a message to me. All noble sons in Beijing also want to see the talents of Jinshi in various new disciplines. Dear ministers, please do a good job."

As soon as these words came out, some Jinshi who had other thoughts were immediately excited and even more eager to try.

At the same time, Ye Junshu and Yu Maolin had a thousand fierce eye contact——

"Brother, such an important matter as being in the limelight is entrusted to you!"

"No, you are the number one scholar, you cannot bury your talent, you should stand out."

"I'll give it to you!"

"No! I have a sweetheart!"

"I have a fiancé!"

"That's just right, in case any young master falls in love with you, there is still a reason to refuse!"

"..."

"Good brother, I leave it to you!"

Ye Junshu won the silent eye fight, Ye Junshu breathed a sigh of relief, with Yu Maolin standing in front, he was relatively safe.

The atmosphere of the scene became more enthusiastic. In Ye Junshu's words, when the young Jinshi present saw the queen bringing in the officials from the Shangjing family, hormones were sent to those young brothers without any money.

Ye Junshu glanced quickly, then lowered his head.

The graceful queen, the luxurious and gorgeous Ming imperial concubine, two other concubines, and the wives of other officials in Beijing.

There were only about twenty young brothers, and Ye Junshu saw Li Yu who was with the queen at a glance, and felt a burst of joy in his heart.

Ah Yu is really there!

However, this situation is not suitable for reminiscing about the past, Ye Junshu can only regret it.

The arrangement of objects in the garden changed drastically in an instant. When Ye Junshu noticed, the emperor's concubines were already sitting on the left and right sides of the emperor, and on the opposite side were relatives of the emperor and family members of officials.

Li Yu originally wanted to find a random corner to sit with his family members, but Emperor Tai'an said, "Brother Yu, come here."

The eunuch at the side gave a seat next to the queen with great winking.

Xia Houjue, who was sitting next to Concubine Ming, cast a jealous look. Concubine Ming saw her and patted the back of Xia Houjue's hand lightly, signaling him to restrain himself and act like a prince.

Li Yu doesn't care about this, he can sit anywhere.

Emperor Tai'an smiled at the queen: "The queen has to take a good look and choose a good husband for our brother Yu."

Regardless of whether it was sincere or not, at least in terms of behavior, Emperor Tai'an loved Li Yu more than the real prince. It can be seen from the name that Emperor Tai'an personally gave Li Yu, and he seemed to treat him as a kind person. Queen's children are average.

The queen raised a faint smile, "Which boy does the emperor think is worthy of brother Yu?"

"Brother Yu is good in every way, and ordinary people are not worthy of him. The Jinshi of various new subjects present here are excellent boys selected from thousands of people, and they are barely worthy of Brother Yu."

The queen smiled and said nothing.

At this time, a high-ranking official stepped forward. This person was Ming Xiang, the head of civil servants.

He was over sixty years old, but he was in good spirits. He saluted Tai'an Emperor, "Today, the old minister will sell himself as an old man, and he will be the judge of this literary battle?"

Emperor Tai'an laughed, "It's overkill for Mr. Ming to be the referee." But he didn't refuse in the end, and he readily agreed.

An old official also stood up and said: "Your Majesty is wise, it would be too tiring for the judge to be judged by only one person. How about letting the old official and Mr. Jiang Ge be addicted to being a referee?"

Emperor Tai'an laughed and scolded: "Why didn't you guys be so active in the past? Today, the sun is coming out from the west? It seems that if I don't allow it, you will be chilled."

Jiang Ge old man twisted his beard, "Your Majesty was joking."

In this way, the referee decided to be Ming Xiang, Mr. Jiang Ge and Mr. Qian Ge.

Ye Junshu and others listened attentively. He has never formally confronted the Ming family until now. The Ming family...

The Wen fight will start soon, but it's just a fight, but no regulations have been produced yet.

At this moment, Xia Houjue stood up and said, "Father, our brother's family has admired the talents of Jinshi for a long time, why not let us come up with questions, and Jinshi will answer the questions. Grandfather and the others will judge the best, and the one who gets the most honors will be the best." Victory, how?"

"Hahaha... Brother Jue, you came up with such a ghostly idea, didn't you plan it long ago?" Emperor Tai'an laughed.

The brothers of the aristocratic families in Beijing all look forward to the four highnesses, the son of the Marquis of Guang'an, and the grandson of the emperor's highness, Princess Yonghua, as the three noble sons in Beijing.

Brother Jue stomped his feet, and said coquettishly to Emperor Tai'an: "Father, are you just saying whether you are Yiyi Jue'er or not?"

Emperor Tai'an was dizzy from being shaken by Xia Houjue, and said, "It's all up to you."

Xia Houjue was immediately satisfied and sat back in his seat.

Emperor Tai'an said to the crowd: "Did you hear that, dear dear ones? Since it is a competition, there will naturally be a lottery. How about it, whoever wins in the end, I will promise him one thing."

The emperor's promise was more valuable than anything else, and Ye Junshu was moved instantly.

Of course, no matter who wins in the end, you won't ask too much, unless you don't want to hang around in the court.

Now that the rules have been set, Wendou will officially begin.

Xia Houjue was the first to propose a question. He came out and stood in the middle of the field, enjoying the light of all the attention. A poem, of course!"

Xia Houjue paused, and said playfully, "The only requirement is that the word plum blossom cannot appear in the whole poem."

If only plum blossoms were the theme of the poem, it would be easy for the Jinshi present, but with such a condition, the difficulty will be raised several levels in an instant.

Maybe everyone can figure it out in the end, but there is still a matter of time.

Xia Houjue turned his eyes to Yu Maolin, his eyes were bright, and he obviously loved him, "Since tonight's protagonist is a new scholar, let's start with Zhuangyuan Lang, and make a beginning for this literary battle."

This request is reasonable, and the topic is not too difficult, Yu Maolin thought for a while, and said, "So, this humble minister has made a fool of himself."

He pondered for a moment, picked up the writing brush on the table, dipped it in the ink, and wrote the words with smooth movements and elegant posture.

Then stop shortly thereafter.

Many people looked forward to it, curious about the poems written by Zhuangyuan Lang.

The palace attendant at the side stepped forward, carefully took the rice paper, and handed it to an eunuch.

The eunuch was able to read and punctuate sentences, so he stood in the center of the arena and recited aloud:

Zhongfang shakes down Du Fuyan, and takes all the style to Xiaoyuan.

Shuying horizontally and shallow water, subtle fragrance floating moon dusk.

Frostbirds want to steal their eyes first, and the white butterflies are like knowing and breaking their souls.

Fortunately, there is a micro-yin that can be linked together, and there is no need for sandalwood to share the golden statue.

Elder Qian Ge took the lead and applauded immediately, "Wonderful writing! As expected of the number one scholar!"

Everyone was extremely amazed, such a masterpiece was made in just one breath, it can be seen that the name of the No. [-] scholar is worthy of the name.

Xia Houjue looked at Yu Maolin with an even more satisfied expression. Just as he was about to speak, a weak voice sounded, as if very curious, "What did Tanhualang write?"

When everyone heard this, they looked over subconsciously. Xiahou Bing, the Fifth Highness who said this, blushed immediately, and lowered his head in embarrassment.

The queen frowned slightly, and glanced at Xia Houbin with an inexplicable expression.

Although Yu Maolin was the first to start this work, other Jinshi also wrote it.

Ye Junshu looked down at the few lines of poems he had written, and thought to himself that he was fortunately prepared.

Emperor Tai'an was also curious about the He poem written by Ye Jun, so he sent someone to pass it on.

After this, basically all the poems had to be recited again. Some Jinshi who were still scratching their heads became even more anxious when they heard that they wanted to see other people, and many people sweated anxiously.

This time, it is still ranked first, followed by Deng Hongyuan, who also wrote a good poem and won applause from the audience.

Then it was Ye Junshu's turn, Ye Junshu glanced up secretly, Li Yu seemed to be very interested in his poems, and was seriously looking at the eunuch in the middle of the field.

Ye Junshu was suddenly nervous, not knowing how Ah Yu would comment.

Then his poem was recited by the eunuch:

This body is in the ice and snow forest, with different peaches and plums mixed with dust.

All of a sudden, the fragrance was released overnight, and it scattered into the universe and thousands of miles of spring.

As soon as this poem came out, the scene was silent for a moment.

Even Xia Houjue was slightly taken aback, as if he had misheard, and looked at Ye Junshu in disbelief.

Ye Junshu didn't pay attention to anyone, and looked up at Li Yu with bright eyes.

Li Yu faintly evoked a smile, and nodded slightly at him.

The author has something to say:

It's not so fast to give a marriage or something, otherwise many plots will not be able to unfold later, and it will have to be delayed. . .

PS. I don’t know how to compose poems. All the verses that appear in the article are all copied from the ancients ⊙?⊙!
