There is always a rival who wants to attack me 2

Who is it?How could he be treated so seriously by the Prince Regent's House?

Everyone couldn't help being in an uproar, all curious.

However, they couldn't get any clues from the carriage.

The cyan car curtain looks very ordinary, and even the horses pulling the cart in front are not good quality.

There is no sign of aristocratic family, and no pomp of aristocrats. No matter which aspect you look at, you can't find any clues.

"Could it be some rare great Confucian who lives in the city?" Everyone in the hall was full of doubts.

And at this moment, the servant of Shuang'er who was sitting on the shaft of the chariot lifted the curtain and said softly, "Master, we're here."

Everyone quickly opened their eyes wide, for fear of missing it.

I saw a boy in a plain bachelor's shirt stepping out of the car.It is different from the exaggeration and gorgeousness that everyone imagines.The young man's appearance was cold, with a hint of awe-inspiring arrogance.

His complexion is greasy, his complexion is unparalleled.

A pair of eyes, as clear as cold jade in a cold pool, as bright as the light of a silver plate, untouched by the vulgarity of the world.

The gestures of hands and feet also carry the elegance engraved into the bones, forming a style of its own.

But as soon as they met each other, people's eyes couldn't help but focus on him, and he actually compared all the candidates in the front hall.

"Little master, the master has an order to let the servant take you directly to the front hall." The doorman changed his alienated attitude when entertaining others just now, and was very earnest.

"Alright." Li Xi nodded, motioning for him to lead the way.The two left together.

There was silence in the hall, until after Li Xi entered for a long time, someone exclaimed in a low voice: "It's Lu Yunxi!"

"No way!" The disciples who had just spoken offensively looked at each other in disbelief.Before, it was rumored that Lu Yunxi was not worthy of his name and was a vase, but the young man just now was not as frivolous as the rumors said.

"It's just a superficial effort, whether you have real skills or not, we'll see at the banquet later!" The few students from the south of the Yangtze River still dismissed him, but the jealousy in their eyes was beyond words.

They are classmates with Lu Yunxi, and they are also from good backgrounds. After being a great Confucian, they naturally don't pay attention to such nondescript twins like Lu Yunxi.And Lu Yunxi has always been very low-key, he seldom talks when he is studying, except for his good handwriting, which is often praised, the rest is mediocre.

But it happened that such a person made a name for himself, won two yuan in a row, and became the top of the list.Even behind the poverty that looks like a little frozen cat, the hidden identity and family background are high and high, which makes people feel envious.Even the Prince Regent gave him a high regard and attached great importance to him.

As a human being, why did Lu Yunxi have such good luck?

These talented scholars who were used to being sought after by others in the south of the Yangtze River felt unwilling and could not accept such a change.

If you look at people with prejudice, naturally that person is biased.

These villains who have been dazzled by jealousy have forgotten what courtesy, righteousness and shame are, and what humility and self-denial are.

-----------------------

The banquet started on time.

It is indeed the most important gathering of bachelors in Dazhou. For the sake of the future and the future, everyone has exhausted their minds to show their talents.

This book, that painting, all of them are unprecedented.Sitting at the banquet, Li Xi casually sipped the wine in his glass, a look of boredom flashed across his eyes.Just pointless gimmicks that serve no purpose other than to look presentable.What is the significance of such a banquet?

The main purpose of the Emperor Yuan's holding a son banquet was to integrate the various schools of "a hundred schools of thought and a hundred flowers blooming" at that time, to eliminate the dross, and to find the most suitable way for the country.

In the next few dynasties, the reason why it has been maintained is only because the various factions in the dynasties have spotted this opportunity and tried to absorb fresh blood in advance.

As for now, the Lord Regent will agree to keep it, most likely to use the banquet to balance the major forces in the court.By the way, he inserted the chess pieces he had arranged into it unconsciously.

Thinking of this, Li Xi glanced at the vacant seat, and the corners of his lips curled up a bit slyly.The time hasn't come out yet, so it probably hasn't been taken care of. After all, the position of those two tooth marks seems... slightly obvious.

Yesterday, in order to divert some people's attention, he deliberately changed the clothes Chi Xiao sent in advance, and teased him by the way, asking himself if he looked good in the clothes.However, it seems that the size is too big. Although the trick is successful, the dress seems to be unwearable.

Tsk!Taking another sip of wine to suppress the disharmonious memories of last night, Li Xi tried his best to withdraw his thoughts and focus on the so-called child raising banquet.

At this moment, after drinking for three rounds, those who wished for something began to gather together in twos and threes, pushing glasses and changing glasses, wantonly displaying their knowledge and insights.As for the gang of Jiangnan Juzi who are holding back their energy and want to step on Li Xi's position, they are also ready.

At this time, the regent has not yet appeared, and the first seat is still vacant, but the other elders are already present.Although it is a pity not to be able to expose the true face of this fame-seeking person in front of the Lord, the weight of the cabinet courtiers in front of him is enough.

Thinking of this, several people looked at each other, and then one of them got up and walked towards Li Xi.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but Lu Jieyuan's demeanor is still the same." With half-hearted compliments, he walked up to Li Xi and toasted him.

"En." Li Xi raised his glass to return the gift, and drank it all in one gulp.

In the eyes of this judge, Li Xi's elegant and unrestrained actions are just hypocritical posturing.As everyone knows, the good intentions hidden in the corners of his eyes and brows also fell into Li Xi's eyes.

Li Xi knew exactly what these people were trying to get close to.

The Juzi Banquet, which is said to be an ideal place regardless of status, high or low, the only thing that needs to be displayed is a peerless talent.

But in Li Xi's eyes, it was nothing more than a hypothetical Garden of Eden for those who peddled fame and fame, and a Shura Field where various factions in the court competed for interests.

Any strategy for governing the country and the law for the general are all jokes.Because these high-spirited people today, if they have the opportunity to go further in the future, they will find how shallow their own knowledge was, like a frog at the bottom of a well.

As for the few in front of them, they want to step on their own position, but they don't know that they have already been labeled as stupid.

He is the Prince Regent's favorite, even if he is not worthy of his name, it is not something they can easily judge.

The first element of court survival is to know the current affairs. Only those who know the current affairs can rise and fall in the undercurrent of the officialdom, and finally retreat with both fame and fortune.As for those self-righteous people, I am afraid that they will break into the Palace of Hades first without stepping into Vanity Fair.

Li Xi circled around with him calmly, and sure enough, within a few words, this man revealed his true purpose.

"Jezi Banquet is a literary meeting, I think Yuan seems to have something on his mind, why not let everyone have fun together for a while?" Pretending to be good, Juzi pointed to the table with the most people and warmly invited.

"As it should be." Li Xi followed his words and walked to the busiest table.With a little glance, you can see what these people are going to do.

A simple little game, pass flowers by drumming.Whoever gets the flower will win the lottery and will perform in public.Be it words, or paintings, or articles, regardless of form, but restricting the title, that is Kyoto.

At this moment, there have been three rounds of drinking, and most of the people at this table have had two or three rounds.These candidates are all famous in their hometowns.Now they all get together again, using one topic, after a few rounds, there is already nothing to write about.

There are only two ways to win.Either the means are surprising, or the subject matter is different.

The means here have been exhausted long ago. If you can't come up with a good one, I'm afraid it will be called a mediocre talent.

But when it comes to subject matter, it may be even more difficult to stand out.The only way to try is to discuss politics that no one is involved in.

Kyoto has been the core of power since ancient times, and it has been the capital of all dynasties. There are many people who can write about it.

However, it was not a wise move, because there are so many court elders present, each faction has different thinking, as long as one sentence is subtle, all of them will be buried here in the future.

This is a dilemma, and the time and scene are calculated in advance.

The people at that table had already negotiated the song in secret, and wanted to embarrass him in public.

Li Xi glanced at Juzi who forced him to watch with a half-smile, and then glanced at the crowd waiting to watch the show, and he became more and more aware of what they were thinking about.

"Lu Jieyuan, please take a seat." The noisy table suddenly became quieter after Li Xi appeared, and those people looked at him with scrutiny and subtlety.

"Okay." Li Xi didn't refuse, and sat down directly at the first seat in response.His posture was extremely arrogant, as if he didn't pay attention to everyone in the arena.

However, her demeanor and movements are as elegant as flowing clouds and flowing water, and her seemingly arrogant expression has also turned into a soft and innocent look because of the warmth between her eyebrows and eyes, which makes people unbearable to criticize.

"..." Everyone at the table looked at each other in blank dismay, with mixed reactions.After all, it was a feast for the children, although those who are talented come first, no matter how old or young, but Li Xi's approach was too condescending, and he didn't pay attention to these people at all, and he didn't even want to say a word of courtesy.

Those who are not familiar with each other are better, those who are also from the south of the Yangtze River are all turned upside down in anger.The look in Li Xi's eyes also became more dissatisfied and vicious.After all, in their eyes, Li Xi had no talent and learning, and secondly relied on tricks to deceive and confuse the regent.It's just that a villain who has achieved success in one day dares to be so rampant.

"Lu Jieyuan, our table is playing drums and passing flowers. The rules are like this..." The man who had brought Li Xi over suppressed his anger and explained the rules to him, hoping that Li Xi would follow the trend and then lose all face.Unexpectedly, Li Xi had no intention of cooperating.

Putting down his wine glass, Li Xi casually picked up a poem written by someone who didn't know who wrote it: "So you invited me to do this?"

The slender fingertips were set off by the plain paper, making them whiter and whiter, but his eyes were full of irony, looking at the appearance of everyone present was like watching a sensationalist again.

"What does Lu Jieyuan mean by this?" After reading Li Xi's eyes, he took the lead and barely suppressed his anger.

"What do you mean? You don't understand?" Li Xi pointed to the vacant seat: "Although the banquet is about making friends through literature, the main point is to select the pillars of the country. One or two of you show off your feathers like peacocks in love. Why do you want to be ashamed to be with you? Just after the third round of the banquet, there are big plays everywhere. You invite me to watch the play, why do you want me to perform together? You are shameless, I don't want to lose my status. "

"Lu Yunxi, don't bully others too much." Li Xi's words made everyone present sullen, and those with a bad temper even stood up and glared.

Li Xi sneered, drank the wine in his cup, pointed to one of them and said, "Your name is Zhao Tianchang, a poor man of three generations. In order for you to go to Beijing for the exam, your whole village of Zhaojia Village sold two seasons of rations and Next year's rice seeding will only raise enough money for you to come to Kyoto. The only thing you want is to hope that you will find a way to lift a village out of poverty. But you are here wearing a brocade woven with blood and tears, talking about elegance, you know shame?"

Wen Run's voice was neither too fast nor too slow, but the words he spoke were like sharp knives, sharp and sharp, piercing people's hearts.Without looking at the man's face, Li Xi moved his fingertips slightly, and continued with the next one: "You are Wang Guodong, your grandfather was the Minister of the Household Department of the previous dynasty, and was a first-rank official. My father was the emperor's 20-year Tanhua, and Xianyi was angry. Ma, young and successful. As for your mother, she was also a noble girl. When she got married, she was dressed in red makeup. For decades, no one in Kyoto could compare with that kind of wealth and splendor. However, she was framed by traitors and her family was ruined. The rest of the people , only orphans and widowed mothers fled back to the south of the Yangtze River like a bereaved dog in order to save their lives. They had to hide their names until the current emperor ascended the throne and amnesty the world to dare to show up. Now that they have the opportunity to become officials, all the elders in the court are upright and honest. Trying to plead for the family, but you are also here playing games with a few children who don't know the fireworks in the world, and throwing away the 370 two orders that died in vain on the guillotine of your royal family, are you guilty?"

"And you..." With the movement of Li Xi's fingertips, everyone's name was mentioned, and without exception, they were all flushed with embarrassment at his words and wanted to die of embarrassment.But Li Xi didn't intend to let it go.He straightened his face, got up and walked to the person who led him to the table, raised the jug in his hand, and poured it directly on his head: "As for you, you are the most dirty scum. How can you not know the meaning of this banquet? This is not an ordinary flower viewing banquet. Anyone who gets the invitation can wish that the three generations of their ancestors have been investigated. Inviting them is just to see the character Is it a heavy responsibility to be a human being? You designed this way to suppress me on the surface, but in reality it is intended to wipe out the entire Jiangnan Juzi, and the future will be ruined here. It is a pity that except for these who have been raised and disabled, you can’t see It's revealed that the others are all bright-eyed and disdain to be with you. Just look at the uncle sitting over there, wishing to beat you to death immediately, so as not to lose the members of the family!"

Every word is heartbreaking, and every sentence is sharp, so that people can't lift their heads up, and wish they could die at the banquet.As for the Young Master Xiangfu who was drenched in wine, his face was even paler, and his whole body turned cold from the contemptuous and resentful eyes of everyone.Because he understands that he has completely lost his chance to rise to the top.

Disloyalty, unfilial piety, inhumanity, and unrighteousness have all been slammed on their heads one by one. The evidence is so strong that they cannot be removed at all.

The original image showed his face, but accidentally showed his butt.I wanted to suppress others, but stepped myself into the mud.Stealing chickens is not enough to lose rice. These candidates are full of shame and regret, and they only hope that time will turn back, but it doesn't help.

The originally lively banquet became condensed, and those candidates whose names were called were in mourning, and those who were not involved also looked solemn, thinking carefully whether their behavior was presumptuous or not.As for Li Xi, he still sat back to his original place, drinking for himself, sipping the fine wine in his glass leisurely.

The episode just now quickly returned to calm, but for those elders who were secretly observing, it was far from over.

What Li Xi did slapped a group of people in the face severely, and at the same time shocked them unceasingly.

Li Xi's actions seemed arrogant and didn't know how to turn around, but after careful consideration, people had to be convinced.

There were 28 candidates at this table, including 20 from Jiangnan and 8 from Kyoto, but Li Xi was able to get a clear picture of the origins of these people's families.Even the ones in Kyoto are very familiar.

After only a few days since Li Xi came back, he was able to get a clear picture of the situation, most likely it was not something in the pool.But if it's just like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to get into the eyes of the regent. Presumably there must be other skills.

It's just that this attitude is so arrogant, is it because he is young and arrogant, or does he have other deep meanings?The elders looked at Li Xi who was sitting alone, and thought a lot more about it.

----------------

Everything is as usual on the Juziyan side, but the Hou Mansion on the other side is in chaos.

It has been a long time since the corruption incident. Although Lu Hou still felt a little pimple in his heart, it has subsided a lot under the care of Madam Jihou.Coupled with the fact that Mrs. Jihou still has his son whom he had hoped for so much in the womb, the mother is more expensive than the child, and the conflict between the two can be quickly weakened.And Lu Weiyao, who was also grounded, also just rightly showed his caring and filial side.What bathed and became a vegetarian knelt day and night in the small Buddhist hall to confess his sins to the Buddha, did not pray for his mother and brother, what took finger blood to copy the filial piety scriptures, and saved the wife of the late marquis.

Every pile, every piece, shows filial piety and obedience, even the most stern Aunt Lu Hou can't find a single mistake.As for Lu Hou seeing him like this, he couldn't help feeling pity for him.Although he didn't release his restraint, he didn't restrict his actions in the backyard.

Mrs. Ji Hou's mother and son quickly and effectively restored Lu Hou's heart. The original one-sided situation gradually changed because of Lu Hou.As everyone knows, all this is just the calm before the storm.The temporary compromise of Mrs. Ji Hou's mother and son is just because they are brewing a bigger storm...
