over ten thousand people

But this conjecture, which I felt to be unreliable, was soon proved to be true.For no other reason——

The Poetry Association stipulates that it is better than the five laws, and the title is not simple.But Xie Jingyu not only wrote it, but also finished a Qinghui Pavilion Fu with careful rhythm and frequent good sentences when others were biting the penholder.Even, until he finished writing, some people were able to suppress half of the Qilu.

In the end, all the ministers had to unanimously agree that comparing poems with Xie Jingyu is like throwing a pot with me, purely asking for trouble.

"Your Majesty," even Wang Ruojun couldn't help putting on a forced smile, "If things go on like this, even a minister will not dare to have a banquet with Xie."

I glanced at Xie Jingyu, and found that he was looking at his heart, and I couldn't help but snorted.She's in the limelight, now she's pretending to be good?late!Isn't it just that I think Zhou Bubi is not bad? As for being so breathless that he must compare with the newcomer Zhongshu Sheren? "Wang Xiang said so, it seems that I can't do without reward."

All the ministers were originally just trying to flatter, but now they were all happy and dispersed.I purposely stopped Zhou Bubi and asked him, "How does it compare now to before?"

Zhou Bubi saluted respectfully, and then said: "Xie Xiang is quick in thinking and writes well, and the lines between the lines are full of everyone's demeanor. I am ashamed of myself. From now on, I should use Xie Xiang as a role model for my ministers."

Now it sounds really convinced... I thought about it, and then asked: "Xie Xiang's family has a long history and is known for his talent. Why did you not accept it before?"

Zhou Bubi hesitated for a moment. "It's the minister who didn't notice. After hearing some pretentious words, he believed it to be true. Now that I think about it, I really feel ashamed. I hope Your Majesty will not take it to heart."

Hmm, heard the gossip about Xie Jingyu?

Originally, I just wanted to know why Zhou Bubi was more objective than usual, but Xie Jingyu seemed to be biased. I never thought that he would really admit that he was biased before, so I couldn't help being interested. "how do I say this?"

"Last year in Chongyang, I was honored to receive an invitation from His Highness the King of Wei. We were invited to visit the original place together and compose poems and drink wine. During the banquet, we mentioned the talents of His Royal Highness Wei and Prime Minister Xie. Some people said that His Highness Wei had met many times. I dare not answer the invitation or thank you, I am afraid that I am a person with a false name."

Talking privately about court officials, changing others may be very taboo, it is as happy as pouring beans in a bamboo tube.In addition, I was far away in the Luo Mansion during the Chongyang Festival last year, so this kind of bad talk really didn't reach my ears.

On the one hand, I thought it would be very useful to keep this person by my side, and on the other hand, I continued to probe: "It's just that the people below are talking too much."

"That's not true. Those people are not court officials, and I don't know them well. I think they have no reason to slander Prime Minister Xie, so I believe it."

Hearing this, I think Zhou Bubi is too sincere.Whether a person will speak ill of another person is not determined by whether they have interests involved; if those people are jealous, it is normal to say Xie Jingyu behind his back. "I have always heard that the King of Wei has a lot of friends, but now it seems that there are good and bad."

Zhou Bubi nodded in agreement, and added: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei is respectful and corporal, and it is true that he cannot take all of them into consideration."

As soon as he heard it, he knew that Zhou Bubi had a very good impression of Yongmeng.However, he is far from the only person who has a good impression of Yongmeng, so I don't think it is disobedient. "If they have any objections to Mr. Xie, they should really come to me." I sighed deliberately.

"What do you mean by your Majesty's words?" Zhou Bubi was really stunned.

"If it wasn't for me pointing at Mr. Xie to do things, why would he be so busy that he didn't even have time to go to the banquet? It's really my fault that someone poked his back in the back."

After hearing this, Zhou Bubi's face turned blue and red, and he became more and more ashamed. "It's the minister who listened to false beliefs, which made His Majesty even more troubled." He then knelt down, "Please punish the crime, Your Majesty."

"What are you guilty of? It's not what you said."

Zhou Bubi had no intention of getting up at all. "The minister listens and believes, so he is negligent."

I secretly sighed.Well, here comes another stubborn one. "Well, I will ask you a few more questions. If you answer well, I will spare you the crime of negligence."

"I...thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

There's a suspicious pause in his middle that looks like a refusal, but I don't care, as long as he finally appreciates it. "In your opinion, which one is superior in talent between His Royal Highness King Wei and Prime Minister Xie?"

Zhou Bubi raised his head in surprise. "Your Majesty asks this...?"

I won't tell him, because I haven't answered this question well, so I want a reference.Although Zhou Bubi's answer may not be of any reference value..."You just need to tell me the answer."

Zhou Bubi frowned, looking very embarrassed. "I thought...it might be between brothers."

Well, it really has no reference value. It seems that I can only rely on myself to coax Xie Jingyu back. "Then do you think that His Royal Highness King Wei has invited Prime Minister Xie many times, does he also want to compete in his heart?"

This question was even more difficult, Zhou Bubi was so worried that several lines appeared on his forehead. "I don't know." He finally said. "I thought so too, but if His Royal Highness King Wei had any intention of comparing him, shouldn't he have already done so?"

"Huh?" I didn't respond for a while.early?what early?

"I heard that Prime Minister Xie declined His Royal Highness the King of Wei many times. It was all last year. However, Prime Minister Xie has been following Emperor Tai|Zu since Jiankang City was destroyed. Since the first year of Yonghe, he has always lived in Xingjing. The minister is vague. Remember, the reason why Emperor Tai|Zu changed his name to Yonghe was because the world had already been decided, and King Shun, King Jian, and King Wei all conferred concubines in that year. Five years, if His Royal Highness King Wei really wants to compare with Xie, why have to wait until now?"

When Zhou Bubi talked about "last year's events", I realized what I had missed.I thought that Yong Meng's encounter with Xie Jingyu had always happened, but I didn't expect that it was only recently.

In this way, it is more normal for Xie Jingyu to avoid Yongmeng like a snake and a scorpion. Yongmeng is in a rhythm of going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing!It can't be explained by the promotion of the official position on the surface, because Yongmeng never judges friends by high and low, not to mention that Xie Jingyu was already the official secretary of the third rank when I came to the throne!

If I have to talk about any changes in the past year, I am afraid that I am the only one who transferred Xie Jingyu to the often vacant Zhongshuling position.

Zhongshu Lingqing is noble and luxurious, and since Xie An, it has always been a position that literati have longed for.It is reasonable for Yongmeng to pay attention, but he is a first-rank prince, and Zhongshuling is no more valuable than him.Moreover, if he is really interested in Zhongshu Ling, he should also pay attention to Zhongshu Sheren and the like...

He didn't.

He only paid attention to the fact that I made Xie Jingyu Zhongshu Ling.

So Xie Jingyu felt that Yongmeng was just playing around.Because Yongmeng is probably not paying attention to him, nor Zhongshuling, but to me.

I also remembered Xie Jingyu's disapproval when I said that the King of Wei was probably only targeting you.As the person involved, he is more aware of Yongmeng's attitude changes before and after than I am, maybe he has already noticed it?

As for why Xie Jingyu didn't say...

I can guess why.Firstly, Yongmeng is the king of Wei, so it would be like a divorce if he mentions it; secondly, he doesn't know what Yongmeng is planning.

Thinking of this, I can't help trying to recall the friendship between me and my fourth brother.

Among the father's sons, the elder brother of the crown prince was the eldest son, followed by Yongzhi, Yonghuan and Yongmeng who were two years younger, and then Yongfu who was two years younger.Because they are similar in age, and the ranks of their mothers and concubines are not much different, so they are familiar with each other.

Yong Xian, Yong Wujiu and Zhen are much younger than them, basically they have no chance to go in and out together.In addition, although the elder brother of the prince can theoretically bring me with them, but I am always afraid of accidentally revealing the shocking secrets about the dream, and no one dares to get too close.

If one had to be judged among the princes, the first name would obviously be the elder brother of the prince with the halo of the crown prince, and Yongmeng would follow closely behind because of his outstanding appearance and talent.As for me...

My prince's life is ordinary, flat, completely lacklustre, probably the life of the crane tail.When I become the new crown prince, I really won't be at the tail end of the rope, and I will have the halo of the crown prince; however, Yongzhi, Yonghuan, Yongmeng, and Yongfu have already been appointed kings and left the palace, and there is basically no chance to meet each other.

So, Yongmeng will pay attention to me, wouldn't it be hell?

If I can't figure it out myself, I don't even expect Zhou Bubi to figure it out for me.He was quite relieved when he stepped back, and I continued to think hard for a quarter of an hour, but still couldn't get in——

Could it be that after so many years, my fourth brother suddenly wants to be the emperor?

No way...Yang Zhaorong doesn't have any powerful relatives behind him, and Yongmeng loves to make friends with some powerless scholars, how can he go against it?Skin this, and then be cut off by me as a fish on the chopping board?

To sum it up in one word, ignorant.

Fortunately, I never dig into dead ends.Things that you don't understand will be put on hold for the time being, and Yongmeng will not be able to make any big waves.As for other things...

How to coax the jealous subordinate back, and put a lantern full of Qushui River for him?If not enough, how about adding a whole Qujiang Pond?If it's not enough... It's also possible to revitalize the capital city with a large column of torches and candles to the world!
