big week bad guy

Chapter 29

The place where Prince Qi's son Li Jianye invited Zhao Xun to the banquet was not in Prince Qi's mansion, but in Leyouyuan's other courtyard.

The reason is very simple, in order to prevent those censors in the court from taking advantage of the issue and attacking King Qi.

These officials are like mad dogs, and they will start to bite crazily if they are given a little chance.

And if you choose to hold a banquet in another courtyard, firstly, it will be concealed, and secondly, the influence of King Qi can also be diluted in name.

Of course, these are only relative.

If the judges admit to death, it is not impossible to stalk them.

But these are not the issues that Li Jianye has to consider now.

As a member of the royal family who loves poetry and songs, Li Jianye was extremely excited when he heard Zhao Xun's autumn poem.

He didn't even need his father to tell him, he wanted to take the initiative to make friends with Zhao Xun.

Li Jianye was born noble, but he didn't have much pretensions of being a prince. On weekdays, he often recited poems and composed Fu with the disciples of the mansion.

But the poems written by those disciples are very common, and few of them can directly hit Li Jianye's heart.

This autumn poem is not the case, every sentence makes sense and every word is incisive.

Even those famous poets may not be able to write better poems than this.

So Li Jianye asked someone to find the bad handsome Feng Hao, and planned to use his relationship to invite Zhao Xun to the banquet.

Feng Hao is Zhao Xun's immediate boss, logically speaking, Zhao Xun wants to give him this face.

But this is just a private agreement after all.

If Zhao Xun refuses to obey, Li Jianye has nothing to do.

Literati, more or less have some petty temper.

But to Li Jianye's relief, Zhao Xun finally agreed to come.

Leyouyuan was a place where the rich and powerful of Chang'an climbed up to play, and there were countless other courtyards built on the original place.

Not only the Prince Qi's Mansion, but also the Duke Cheng's Mansion.

Zhao Xun came riding a horse with familiarity. When he came to the mansion of King Qi, he saw a handsome and slender young man. He thought that this must be the legendary Prince Qi's son Li Jianye.

He immediately got off the horse, handed the horse to the servant, and bowed to Li Jianye to cross his hands.

"Zhao Xun has met His Royal Highness."

This Li Jianye was wearing a Shu brocade green robe today, and his hair was worn with a mahogany hairpin, which seemed a little casual.

But this did not conceal his nobility in the slightest.

This is a true son of a nobleman, and the noble air of purple gold is exuded from the inside out.

"Haha, Ming Yun, you are here. This son is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and I am looking forward to your coming."

Li Jianye smiled and said: "Today is a private banquet, so there is no need to be too formal."

"That can't be done, etiquette cannot be discarded."

Zhao Xun is still very self-aware.

Although the status of the young master of Cheng Guogong's mansion is also very prominent, he is still far behind when compared with the dignified prince of Qi.

"Ming Yun, the prince won't be courteous to you anymore, let's talk inside."

After finishing speaking, Li Jianye turned and walked into the other courtyard, Zhao Xun followed behind.

It has to be said that the king of Qi is indeed rich and powerful, and every single courtyard in Leyouyuan is magnificently built.

Whether it is a mansion for people to live in, or a garden or stage for entertainment, they are all very exquisite, and there is no fault at all.

Zhao Xun thought to himself that it would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver just to build such a courtyard?
There are at least a dozen sets of such Bieyuan Qiwang in the city and suburbs of Chang'an, which is worth 10,000+ taels of silver.Coupled with the expenses of hundreds of people in Qi Wang's mansion, it is definitely not enough to rely on Qi Wang's salary alone.

Of course, King Qi still has some Huangzhuang gifted by the emperor, but Huangzhuang mainly produces grain, and it is very difficult to realize it.

Therefore, the main income of Prince Qi's Mansion should rely on business or the filial piety of the people below.

There is nothing to say about this in the feudal dynasty, the imperial power is greater than the sky.Even Zhao Xun himself is a beneficiary.

It can be seen that Li Jianye, the son of King Qi, is a very elegant person, and exudes a strong aura of elegance from inside to outside.

This is very different from Li Taiping, the head of Yonghe County.

Although His Highness the county lord looks very elegant at first glance, but after getting along for a long time, he will feel very uncomfortable, as if everything about her is pretending, and she really wants to get rid of this shell.

But His Royal Highness Shizi is different. It is said that Confucianism is good at nourishing Qi, and His Royal Highness should have cultivated Qi to a certain level.

Li Jianye led Zhao Xun to the hexagonal pavilion surrounded by a pond, first raised the hem of his robe and sat down, and then said in a harmonious voice: "Ming Yun, sit down, there are no outsiders here, so don't be restrained."

Zhao Xun nodded slightly, then sat down.

"Ming Yun, sister She has been talking about your "Autumn Ci" all day long since she was visiting the lake in Qujiang. My son also thinks this poem is very good, so I want to invite you to the Leyouyuan for a banquet. , along with reciting poems and composing Fu, discussing one or two."

Well, isn't this the tea party for young literary and artistic youths of later generations? As a liberal arts student with a major background, Zhao Xun is very familiar with this kind of scene.

It's just that compared with the ancients, the literary literacy of later generations of literary youths is still a little worse.

"His Royal Highness, the son, has won the award, and I made a song that made His Royal Highness the county lord laugh."

"Ming Yun, you are really too modest. In my eyes, this poem of yours can be ranked in the top ten even if it is placed in the Da Zhou poetry circle."

"By the way, a poetry meeting will be held in Qujiang Pond in January. You must go."

Li Jianye said half-jokingly: "If you don't go, there will be one less poet in the Dazhou poetry world."

Well, he praised Zhao Xun to such a high position as soon as he came up.Little do they know that the higher the praise, the worse the fall will often be.

But King Qi's son has already talked about this, and Zhao Xun has no reason to refuse.

"Since that's the case, it's better to be respectful than obedient."

"Ming Yun, come and taste this tea."

Li Jianye poured two cups from a pot of hot tea and pushed one cup to Zhao Xun.

"This son doesn't have any other hobbies, but he likes poetry and prose. You must have heard of this."

Li Jianye paused for a moment, and then continued: "Since Ming Yun is here, I don't want to hide it anymore. This is a collection of poems written by my son, let Ming Yun see how it is written?"

After finishing speaking, Li Jianye pushed a collection of poems to Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun grinned on his face, mmp in his heart.

What the hell is this.

You are the son of Prince Qi, so you can write poems as soon as you write them, and let others criticize them.

How can I comment, it's not just a compliment.

This is like the Kua Kua Group of later generations, and Li Jianye is the leader of the Kua Kua Group.

In desperation, Zhao Xun had no choice but to unfold it, but he was stunned when he saw the first song.

Although this poem is not comparable to those masterpieces in all Tang poems, it is definitely a good one.

As a student who majored in classical literature, Zhao Xun can be sure of this.

If these are really written by Li Jianye, then the literary accomplishment of this son of Prince Qi is indeed very extraordinary.
