The Furong Dancer retreated to both sides, and the two elm and willow fires in front of the imperial court were still dancing happily.The moment the song and dance ended, the three days of cold food had become a memory, and the time of Qingming soon came with poems and wine words.

Eunuchs hurried across the two sides of the orchestra with lacquer trays, collecting the corresponding poems of various families.According to Concubine Hui and Li Linfu's wishes, Gao Feng lifted the red silk covering the tribute in front of the imperial court, and all the officials opened their eyes in amazement.

A willow tree planted in a white porcelain vat, the branches are strung with white-faced swallows, there are a thousand of them, lifelike.

"There are many elm and willow embroidery in the Qingming Dynasty, don't be familiar with the strings and the lotus." Li Linfu said, "Your Majesty, in this situation, listening to the wonderful song of Longchi, the foolish ministers will have a feeling. If the court is this willow tree, then the ministers will be willing to be children Push Yan."

According to historical records, Jin Wengong Chonger later returned to his country and ordered every household to make swallows out of flour and jujube paste during the Ching Ming Festival, string them with willow sticks, and stick them on the door to commemorate Jie Zitui who cut his flesh to feed his hunger.

After Li Linfu finished speaking, countless literati and scholars scrambled to use "Longchi Music" to sing the praises of the holy virtues. One of them wore a purple ribbon on his head, had a pretty face, and could sing. Su An was very familiar with him, because he had some friendship with Cui Shao. Chen Hanlin.

Su An woke up suddenly.

The Liyuan is the pride of the Supreme Saint, and praising the Liyuan children is equivalent to expressing loyalty and admiration to the royal family.He has long been used to being courted by the literati of the Imperial Academy, but this time is different, this time, the person in front of him is Gu Yue.

Seeing Gu Yue pick up the pen, Su An hurriedly borrowed Jian Zhen, walked to him and said softly: "Eighteen, Mr. Li Ge has explained it in the palace and Imperial Academy, and the poems must not be better than Chen Hanlin, otherwise, it will be the same as Chen Hanlin's." There is a fear of life."

Gu Yue said: "I know, that's why Mr. Zhang Ge didn't come today, but it doesn't matter, I can write for him."

Su An didn't want to stay longer, so he pushed and shoved secretly, trying to destroy the strokes, but failed.Gu Yue originally used his left hand, but switched to his right hand, and he can still write.Su An was startled: "Your hand, is it ready?" Gu Yue looked at him and smiled.

The jiegu sounded, the whispers of the eunuch fluttered in front of the imperial court like catkins, the supreme and noble concubine wandered in the golden poems, and Su An, while retreating behind the curtain, listened to the sound of paper pages being turned and crumpled, his breath was stagnant .

Gao Feng faced the third palace, smiled and said: "Your Majesty has an order, to comment on poems in Qingming, don't call names first, say what you want to say, if what you wrote happens to be read, you have the right to do nothing, after that, you should be able to be honored."

Li Longji coughed a few times, and selected three poems from the numerous "Longchi Le" poems for comparison.Su An saw Li Ying and Li Heng discussing privately through the veil and bead curtain, and Li Mao and Yang picked up a few pages of gold paper and read silently.

"Fenghe Shengzhi Qingming Banquet Response Part One"

Jindian laughed again and said,

Jade hibiscus in the crystal pool.

Taiping Emperor Qingming Day,

Strings of thousands of gates look at Zilong.

"Fenghe Shengzhi Qingming Banquet Response System Part Two"

In the middle of the day in Yaochi, silk and bamboo are played,

Thousands of miles of Yinghuo have the same customs.

You Panzi pushes the spring to come,

At the beginning of Fengshui, the wheat seedlings are full.

"Fenghe Shengzhi Qingming Banquet Response System Part Three"

The jade tower in the Qingming Dynasty has a new look,

The color of the lake springs into Longchi.

In Jinxiuli of Guangqin Pavilions,

Xionghan mountains and rivers in fireworks.

Su An raised the bead curtain, and followed Concubine Hui and Concubine Mei's whispers, looking down from table to table: "Don't ask, I didn't see clearly what Gu Lang wrote. After all, it wasn't Pei She. Man, he writes very, very long."

"However, the one who can submit it to the imperial case must be Chen Hanlin, who is admired by Mr. Li Ge." Zhang Yehu leaned lazily on the porch pillar, squinted at Su An, and said with a smile, "You can tell by the pattern of writing. , should be the third song, just barely."

The concubines laughed and drank almond porridge, and had a few excuses to go to the side hall to have a tryst with their lover.Concubine Hui put down the wine cup, rubbed her temples, and said: "Your Majesty, I like the first poem. In the early years, I heard from my sisters that the spring water in Longchi is vigorous, reserved and deep, and it is as magnificent as crystal. Seeing the growth of hibiscus, let craftsmen carve the jade girl in the future, serve in the pool, accompany Longquan all the time, there is stillness in the movement, it is "Furong looks at the purple dragon"."

Li Longji said: "It's also very interesting." Gao Feng ouched.Li Longji smiled and said, "Who will say the second song?"

Li Linfu stood up and said in response: "Your Majesty, noble concubine, and foolish ministers have a slightly different opinion." Li Longji said: "But it's okay." Li Linfu said; "I think that the first poem is more than soft and charming. It seems that the words are peaceful and there is no specific reference. The second poem seems to have a plain and leisurely artistic conception, but it actually describes the people's life in prosperity and well-being. Not only the lakes and mountains are brought into the palace, but even Qinchuan and Han lands are also included in the splendor and fireworks. Does it mean that His Majesty has recruited all the talents and beauties from all over the world? Looking at the government and the public, there are many sages. For His Majesty's pleasure."

Li Longji looked at Pei Yaoqing.Pei Yaoqing didn't move, just ate sweets, took a sip, and drank a sip of wine.

The gentle face of the dragon, the soothing music, blended with the mellow fragrance of the spring wine, but the courtiers were blushing and heartbeating, secretly testing each other, who wrote the three poems.Chen Hanlin was difficult but kind, and was almost forced to climb a willow tree, which made everyone laugh.

Su An didn't speak, and pulled Zhang Yehu to sit down.Zhang Yehu said: "Don't worry now? Li Ge always found a Hanlin enshrine that he can accommodate with great difficulty." Su An said: "It is also difficult for everyone."

On the imperial seat, Li Longji drank the toasts from his beloved sons, lifted the bead on the front of his hat, and chose one of the golden papers.

"It seems that everyone has their own preferences." Li Longji leaned back on the armrest and said, "It's a pity that Jiu Ling is not here tonight. I can pick and choose, and I can't praise it. I only feel that this song is elegant and interesting. , everyone, listen to it."

Gao Feng took the poem in his hand and read it slowly.Li Linfu was startled, but turned to the waiter who poured wine.The officials listened silently, but when they heard it, a voice jumped out of the bead curtain: "Why is it the second song?!" It was Zhang Yehu's voice.

In the middle of the day in Yaochi, silk and bamboo are played,

Thousands of miles of Yinghuo have the same customs.

You Panzi pushes the spring to come,

At the beginning of Fengshui, the wheat seedlings are full.

"I know that writing poetry is not easy, and responding to it is even more difficult." Li Longji stood up and walked down the steps step by step. Make it harder."

Li Longji said: "Shangshu." Li Linfu said: "The minister is here." Li Longji said: "For me, explain this poem well." Li Linfu took a deep breath, lowered his eyebrows and meditated, half an inch of red fragrance In time, sweat profusely.

"Your Majesty, my minister is dull, the second is the beauty of the second sentence, the sound of silk and bamboo in Yaochi is spread thousands of miles, all over the world..."

"Okay." Li Longji said, "Pei Sheren, in the opinion of Mr. Li Ge, let me speak for your husband."

Pei Yan was named, and he stood sideways, holding a wat board, and deserved to be neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, I dare to compare two or three poems. The former's language is simple, open-minded but not rough, and it is not inferior to celebrating with the whole world. However, I secretly think that one's intention is to "receive" and the other's intention is to "let go". 'It shows the mind of Baichuan even more."

After the sentence was finished, there was complete silence, and even Chen Hanlin, who was crawling on the willow branch, felt it was funny and slipped down.

"It's just a banquet, it's too far away." Li Longji smiled, his face still not getting warmer, "That's not right."

Half an inch of red incense burned out again, Su An was sitting on the seat, and saw Gao Feng order the little eunuch to run to Li Linfu's ear, and said a few words.Li Linfu nodded repeatedly, his originally pale face gradually turned rosy.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for being stupid!"

The heart of a sage is looking for a needle in the vast seabed.

It turned out that Li Longji planted wheat in Ziwei Palace. At this time last year, he led the crown prince and King Shou to harvest together, felt the joy of farming, and gave the courtiers a show of grace. Waiting for someone to come "fortunate", the person who wrote this second poem, whether it was intentional or unintentional, touched Li Longji's heartstrings.

Regardless of who he is, Li Longji was the first to point out the mystery, and Li Longji also laughed happily, making people take the five strings on the spot and play together with the Libu trick.It's the same "Longchi Le", and the same Gong Yin, so happy to be in front, so I don't bother to correct it.

The king's merits will last for thousands of years, and he has no desire to compare with Qin Huang and Han Wu, but he hopes that the dragon's pool will be endless. As a mortal, he also misses the glory of the years.

"Gao Gonggong is as bright as watching the fire, and Mr. Li Ge reacts accordingly, and the play is real." Lei Haiqing yawned, his eyes were clouded with tears, and he smacked his lips, "It's just that whoever wrote this poem accidentally It's... good luck."

All of a sudden, the orchestra played together, Su An strummed the strings to echo, and his eyelids jumped, but Li Longji stretched out his dragon sleeves and waved at the two fires of elms and willows in front of the steps.Pei Yan and Gu Yue both held pens, waiting for the will of heaven and man to announce.

The first piece was written by Xingsheng, a female official, the second piece was written by Gu Yue from Zhongshe, and the third piece was written by Hanlin enshrined Chen Shi.

Su An was stunned.

Everything was like a gust of wind passing over the post, without a moment's rest. At that time, there was a lot of music and music, and the sky was full of flowers.Along the way, all kinds of attention, all kinds of favors, all the talented and beautiful women treat each other wholeheartedly.

But because of this poem, Gu Yue was left a step behind.

"Gu Sheren." Concubine Hui was drunk and stopped him with a laugh, "Do you still remember Xingyuan's words?"

There was a crackling noise from the bead curtain next to him, Su An pulled Lei Haiqing away, and was pushed back to the mat by Zhang Yehu.Li Longji stopped the strings, handed the pipa to Gao Feng, and asked a few words.Gu Yue kowtowed to the ground, holding red candles high in both hands: "Minister, Gu Yue..."

"Your Majesty, Gu Sheren's loyalty can be learned from." Li Linfu paused, moved the wat board away from his face, and his fair face was exquisite and picturesque. I will present it to Your Majesty."

Li Longji nodded, a little moved.Li Linfu gave a wink, and Gao Feng immediately asked the musicians to present instruments, a bunch of pipas, curved neck, straight neck, five-string, four-string, single-string, there is a dazzling array, waiting to be selected.

Gu Yue shook his sleeves and stood up, taking candles to shine them one by one.

"His Majesty!"

The bead thread was broken, jade beads rolled to the ground one after another, and a hibiscus robe rushed to the front of the imperial court amidst the singing of silk and bamboo orchestra.

Su An knelt in front of Gu Yue, smiling decisively, with tears in his eyes: "I... I play for Gu Sheren..."
