The rise of the prince

Chapter 211 The Oiran
"Wei Chuan, go to the palace again tomorrow and ask your son what to do about Tong Guan." Zhong Daoyu rubbed his temples.

He had no other choice, and based on his years of understanding of Yu Chengan, once he decided that something was wrong, he would stick to it to the end, so he could only start with Tong Guan. 11 And if Tong Guan supports the reform of the military system, then even Yu Chengan's opposition will not be able to hinder the overall situation.

Wei Chuan scratched his head in embarrassment: "General, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, I'm afraid the son will not be at home."

"Oh? It's the Lantern Festival." Zhong Daoyu nodded, "Then the day after tomorrow."

"Lantern Festival, it's the same this year, go to Tingyu Tower to buy two bottles of General Brewing, since it's Lantern Festival, drink well."

Wei Chuan nodded, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart. Every year, there is only the general in the Yuanxiao General's mansion, and his relatives and children are not there.
"Mr. Cao has good words. If you have Mr. Cao's words, I'm afraid the leader will be stable again this year." Shiyu said with a smile.

The private room on the third floor of Fumeng Tower.

Mahogany doors and windows, luxurious wool carpets, exquisite huanghuali tables and chairs, noble and luxurious, pens, inks, papers and inkstones are placed on the desks, and several well-known talents and talented women in Beijing are seated.

Among them are Cao Yu, Yan Junru, the prince Li Yu, and a more ordinary-looking woman named Tian Qiyu, who is a poetic friend and a lady of the Tian family.

With an exquisite appearance, a melon-shaped face, and a slender figure, the one who seems to be weak is Li Yu's regular wife Mo Yunliu. Before marrying Li Yu, she was also a well-known talented woman in the capital. Married to the emperor's grandson Li Yu.

When it came to the Lantern Festival Poetry Club again, she naturally wanted to participate happily, and she found that although her husband was a dandy, he was better than many people. This is what allowed her to participate in it.

Cao Yu clasped his hands and said, "Miss Shiyu is joking, my talent is far behind that of Xie Xie, and I heard that this year Jinyulou also has noble people to help, and they will pay a lot of money to invite Mr. Ma Yuan to write lyrics for their leading lady Yin Yin. That Ma Yuan was once as famous as Brother Xie in Beijing, if he makes a move, we need to be careful."

Yan Junru also nodded, and said helplessly: "Yes, it's a pity that Xie Xie went to Jiangzhou to take a job. Otherwise, if Xie Xie was here, it would be my turn to wait around."

Speaking of this, Tian Qiyu's face turned sour, and complained: "He went briskly."

"Ahem, miss Tian, ​​don't blame Brother Xie, it's a last resort to arrange him at home." Yan Junru hurriedly said.

"Yes, yes, father and son, brother Xie is also helpless." Cao Yu also spoke to smooth things over.

Li Yu interjected at this time: "To tell you the truth, one of the noble people behind the Jinyu Tower is my elder brother Li Huan. They invited not only Ma Yuan, but also the people from Jiangzhou. What is the name of Shen Yinfeng? Jiang Monk Baoyuan at Mingyin Temple on the opposite bank is a mess of people, although I don’t know who they are, it’s definitely not simple.”

When he said this, everyone fell silent.

Cao Yu frowned and said: "I know Monk Baoyuan. He is a madman. He was born in the south of Jing, but he became a monk at Mingyin Temple at a young age and was responsible for guarding the Taoyuan in the temple. Or poems are engraved on the walls of Taoyuan.

Over time, the garden was full of poems, and everyone was amazed. Many people gradually came here just to see his poems. Therefore, Mingyin Temple became very popular, and the Taoyuan he guarded became a treasure in the temple. Monk Baoyuan”

"You're really a second person." Li Yu said.

Mo Yunliu hugged Li Yu's arm lovingly and said: "I just don't know how they invited the monk in this treasure garden. I went to that treasure garden when I was young, but I didn't see the famous monk in Baoyuan. I also heard that he always Those who don’t go down the mountain, after so many years, should be in their [-]s and [-]s. When they were young, they didn’t get caught up in the world of mortals, but now they are old and relegated to the secular world.”

"Who can tell clearly, my elder brother is the prince's son, he has his own way." Li Yu said.

"It's difficult now, monk Ma Yuan Jiabaoyuan, I'm afraid." Cao Yu frowned slightly.

Shiyu on the side listened to the discussion, and also became a little worried. In previous years, talented scholars and talented women who had friendship with her called her together, and everyone discussed countermeasures, wrote poems and lyrics, and many times they were already winning. Can be very different from this year.

Yan Junru, who had not interrupted all this time, opened the paper fan and shook it lightly: "I'm afraid everyone missed the Chan Yin Feng, he is the one that worries me the most."

"Shen Yinfeng?" Cao Yu frowned, glanced at everyone, and found that Shiyu and the others were also slightly puzzled, which meant that they didn't know this person either.

Yan Junru said: "Everyone is not in Jiangzhou, so I don't know. Our Yan family's ancestral home is in Jiangzhou. I often went back to Jiangzhou when I was young, so I know about Jiangzhou. The two brothers of the Can family in Jiangzhou are well-known. No one knows everything.

The eldest brother participates in victory, and the younger brother participates in Yinfeng.

They are known as the first and second talents in Jiangzhou, and no one dares to compete with them. At the beginning of Jiangzhou's various poetry associations, large and small, most of them were led by two brothers, and they often shocked everyone with their skills.Later, the elder brother Shen Sheng became an official in the court, and the younger brother stayed in Jiangzhou to prepare to inherit the family business.

Now that Shen Sheng is less than forty years old, he is the co-prefect of Yantiesi, a third-rank member of the imperial court, and the son-in-law of Prime Minister Yu. Neither of them should be underestimated. "

After listening to him, everyone fell silent.

Li Yu asked anxiously: "According to what you say, do we have no chance of winning?"

"Unless...unless they have a sudden talent, and none of them have any inspiration." Yan Junru lowered his voice, because he knew that this kind of situation was almost impossible.

Seeing that the atmosphere was gloomy, Shiyu comforted her even though she felt uncomfortable: "It's a good thing for you all to share the little girl's worries. It's up to people to plan things, and heaven to make things happen. Why should you be so concerned about success or failure? Poetry is already a thing of the past with the help of all of you." It is not a bad idea to give up the leader for several years to Miss Yin Yin this year, as long as everyone does their best, Shiyu is already very grateful."

After hearing what she said, everyone started laughing again, and the atmosphere at the table became better again. Everyone began to discuss countermeasures and thought hard to think of new words.

Li Yu doesn't know poetry, he just came along because his wife and poetry are old friends, and he is interested in poetry and ink, so he followed.

For some reason, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Yes, we can ask Brother Xing to help."

He made a loud noise and immediately attracted everyone's attention, but everyone didn't react, Brother Xing?What star brother.

Li Yu said excitedly: "I mean my cousin Li Xingzhou, the son of Prince Xiao."

After hearing all these people, Tian Qiyu seemed to think of something, and read: "It's the Li Xingzhou who wrote 'Sparse shadows, slanting horizontally, clear water, dark fragrance, floating moon and dusk'."

"Exactly!"

Cao Yu also slapped his head and laughed loudly: "That's right, brother Yan and I both forgot that brother Xie was leaving during the Chinese New Year, and we just went to the palace to pay a visit, and the prince even gave me wine for the general."

"The general's wine? It's a priceless fine wine. I've heard people talk about it every day these days. The prince is really generous." Tian Qiyu said.

Everyone chattered excitedly, but they didn't notice that Shiyu's face turned ugly.

Li Xingzhou!These three words were like a curse in her heart.
