Great Wei scholar

And when Xu Qingxiao said these words, Wang Ru felt a lot more at ease, inexplicably feeling that Xu Qingxiao knows the etiquette and never forgets his kindness.

The little bit of unhappiness before was gone, and Wang Ru sat down with Xu Qingxiao.

The third place in front, not too close but not too far.

After taking his seat, Xu Qingxiao immediately bowed to the people around him, and after reporting himself, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It is not a good thing to be too savvy about people and the world. If you want to have both sides, you have to pay attention to everything. It is a bit tiring, but there are many benefits.

After today's banquet is over, if I encounter some problems in Nanyu Mansion, I guess they can be settled directly, so as not to cause trouble for my senior.

Ding.

Soon, the crisp sound of the piano sounded, accompanied by singers walking in from outside the courtyard.

These singers had beautiful faces, delicate skin, dressed in tulle, and danced to the music. Occasionally, they were faintly visible, which aroused the eyes of everyone present.

Xu Qingxiao admired it quietly, without any extravagant thoughts.

No matter how beautiful the performances of ancient singers are, they are not as good as modern performances. Once or twice they may feel fresh, but if you look closely, you will find that's it.

If it wasn't for the singer's beauty, Xu Qingxiao would not be able to appreciate it.

"black."

Xu Qingxiao took a sip of fruit wine and muttered to himself.

At the end of a wonderful singer's performance, everyone patted the table and applauded.

At this time, a figure also walked out of the courtyard.

In his early 20s, rich brocade clothes, white and green intersecting, beautiful jade around the waist, suet crown, and handsome face.

As soon as the person appeared, Wang Ru lowered his voice and said, "This is Li Xin, Mr. Li, the eldest son of Nanyu Mansion."

Wang Ru informed Xu Qingxiao of the other party's identity.

But with a glance, Xu Qingxiao found that everyone just nodded slightly when they saw Li Xin, and they didn't stand up and shout that they had seen Mr. Li.

On the contrary, they are all leisurely, doing what they should do.

Gee.

The ancient literati are dragging, the son of the prince, what is this concept?The eldest son of a senior city official in his previous life, not to mention the same age, even those who are more than ten years older than him, should respectfully say hello to Mr. Li.

It's not that these literati say they don't give face, but they don't have that kind of compliment at all. Instead, they have the attitude that I came to the banquet to give you face.

Good guy.

Good guy.

Really good guy.

Xu Qingxiao gradually figured out some ways, then looked at Li Xin, there was no displeasure on his face, instead he walked quickly to the main seat, picked up the wine glass on the table and said.

"Everyone, because of some trivial incidents, the time was delayed. I hope you will not be angry. Li will punish himself with three cups."

Li Xin opened his mouth and quickly drank three glasses of wine as self-punishment.

"Mr. Li is the son of the lord after all, and the affairs of the manor are very busy. We know this. It is a great honor to invite you to a banquet today. I would like to offer a toast to Mr. Li."

When someone spoke, he was the first to toast, and everyone followed suit. After all, Li Xin punished himself with three cups, which was enough to save everyone's face, and although everyone was straightforward, they were not fools.

"I'll offer a toast to Mr. Li."

At this moment, everyone raised their glasses and made a toast to Li Xin.

The latter also drank it happily.

After drinking for three rounds, performances appeared one after another.

Most of them are inseparable from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, playing music and dancing, and some juggling games. The first half of the time is spent enjoying the show.

Wait until Haishi.

Everyone is almost drunk.

With the departure of some luthiers, the courtyard became much quieter.

"Everyone, today's invitation is actually two things."

"One reason is that the government test is coming soon. As the eldest son of the government lord, Li will naturally hold a banquet for you. After the government test is passed, Li will also entertain you."

"Secondly, this government examination is extremely important. The first government examination in the new dynasty has attracted a lot of attention. My father has communicated with many Confucian and Taoist masters these days, trying to bet on the questions. Today is because of this matter, and the delay some."

Li Xin spoke out, telling the purpose of this banquet.

But when he said this, there was an uproar in the hall.

"Your Majesty is waiting for me to bet on the question?"

"The first government examination of the new dynasty is indeed important, but I didn't expect that the government would be willing to wait for me to bet on the questions."

"Li Fujun is really a role model for my generation."

Everyone's first reaction was surprise, followed by excitement and excitement.

Betting on the title.

In layman's terms, it is to guess the test questions.

The folks are allowed to bet on the questions. After all, the questioners are all great Confucians in the court, and they will not leak the questions. If they really want to leak the questions, there is no need for the court to trigger it.

It is not such a person who can become a great Confucian.

However, there are a lot of specialties about betting. The higher the status, the more accurate the guess.

After all, this is a very simple logical relationship.

Understand who the questioner is and what his personality is, and start digging from here, and you can actually guess part of it.

Therefore, Fu Jun's betting on the question really has to make people excited.

"Then dare to ask Mr. Li, what question is the Lord Fu Jun betting on?"

Someone recovered and couldn't help asking.

Li Xin didn't answer, but just clapped his hands.

Immediately, a few domestic servants walked out of the courtyard, carrying a stone slab with a piece of white paper on it.

Two words were written impressively on the white paper.

【Yasukuni】

Chapter 33: Brother Qingxiao, please write a poem

Yasukuni.

With the emergence of Fujun's betting title.

Everyone's eyes fell on the white paper.

Xu Qingxiao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the question that Fu Jun bet on was almost the same as the teacher's guess.

It seems that my teacher has something.

"Is it the question of An Guo? It also fits the current situation."

"Well, the Great Wei Dynasty has been established for more than [-] years, and Emperor Wu has conquered seven times, but he is still unable to recover. The country's society is crumbling. The question of peace and security is reasonable."

"If you take the theme of An Guo, it's still not peaceful if you think about going to the north."

Discussions sounded, and everyone was chanting, looking at the word "An Guo", they were full of emotion in their hearts.

The literati of the past dynasties are nothing more than self-cultivation, family management, state governance and world peace.

If the country is not peaceful, how can there be prosperity?

If there is no prosperity, how can you read?

"Everyone, this is a question that my father guessed. I invite you to come here today to chat about this question."

"Of course, we'll have to wait until the government exam starts to find out whether it's specific or not. My father is just guessing."

"Everyone here, if you have ideas, you can speak up, talk freely, and communicate with each other."

Li Xin said, pointing to the white paper.

In the seat, Wang Ru took a sip of fruit wine, and said to Xu Qingxiao with a suppressed voice.

"Mr. Li Xin is also going to take the government examination. This question is almost inseparable. The prince has put his heart into it and thought about it carefully."

Wang Ru suppressed his voice and reminded Xu Qingxiao to listen and ponder with his heart.

Xu Qingxiao nodded, and understood the main purpose of this banquet.

"All the prince's sons have participated in the government examination. It seems that His Majesty really cares about this government examination."

"Speaking out the bet and letting everyone refer to it is nothing more than testing the questions and expanding thinking."

"The ancients were not fools."

Xu Qingxiao instantly judged some information in his mind.

Li Xin invited everyone to dinner. The name is to say that the prince is betting on the question. To remind everyone, the main purpose is to verify his own question and expand his thinking.

I think Li Xin should have written the corresponding article to see if everyone has the same ideas, or to choose from them.

After taking a sip of fruit wine, Xu Qingxiao didn't say much. He had some thoughts on this topic, but he didn't know if it was good or not. Let's listen to what everyone said first.

"Mr. Li, gentlemen, I do have some opinions on the issue of An Guo."

Someone spoke.

Those who can come to this banquet are all famous, and those who have studied for a few years, if they can make a splash, it is naturally a good thing.

After he opened his mouth, everyone nodded, and Li Xin even smiled and said, "Mr. Xun, please tell me. I'll be all ears."

The latter was wearing a blue-gray robe, put down his wine glass, and looked at the crowd.

"The so-called stability of the country means stability of the country."

"However, during the seven Northern Expeditions, Emperor Wu hated the vast sea, the chaos on the frontier, and the barbarians in the northern border. They always stared at our great Wei."

"If the barbarians are not eradicated and the frontiers are uncertain, how can the country be settled?"

"So, I believe that if the government test really takes An Guo as its topic, its core lies outside."

He uttered his voice, every word is pearly, straight and round, full of emotion, full of anger at the chaos in the frontier and the bane of the barbarians.

After the voice fell, many people nodded in approval.

"What Mr. Xun said is very true, and Li also thinks in the same way. The external turmoil continues, so how can the country be stable?"

"The shame of Jingcheng is still in front of my eyes, and the hatred of the barbarians is engraved in my heart."

Li Xin sighed, he agreed with what the other party said.

And with him taking the lead in approving, everyone's voices gradually sounded.

"Well, if the barbarians are not eradicated, how can the country be settled? The frontiers are uncertain, and the prosperous world is empty talk."

"That's right, during Emperor Wu's reign, if it wasn't for a heavy snowfall, the barbarians would have been wiped out a long time ago. I'm really sorry."

"Now that His Majesty is enthroned, he wants to do something in the future. If he can eradicate the calamity of the barbarians, it will be the blessing of the Great Wei. I am afraid that it will be difficult to eradicate it, and it will cause another shame to Jingcheng, and that will be a sin against heaven."

"Since ancient times, a woman has proclaimed the emperor, which has never been heard before. It is unknown whether it can equal the fame."

Everyone was discussing, perhaps because they drank a lot of wine, and their words became more and more presumptuous, and the scale became larger and larger.

Xu Qingxiao hastily coughed, picked up the wine glass and said.

"Everyone, the national humiliation of Great Wei is still in our hearts, but we don't want to be depressed. We should remember the shame, serve the country, share the worries for the king, and benefit the people. Come, let's have a drink together."

Xu Qingxiao shouted.

If they continue to talk about this, they will probably start to criticize the emperor while talking.

In case the matter got to the emperor's ears, he would be in trouble if he was implicated for no reason.

Regardless of the character of the current emperor, whether he can listen to honest advice, anyway, if he wants to live well, don't die.

When Xu Qingxiao said these words, everyone was infected and raised their glasses to drink together.
