The rise of the prince

Chapter 379
"Actually, Mr. Wang is not bad. He is knowledgeable and reasonable, and he is considerate of the people, but he is a little stubborn." Xie Linjiang walked all the way in the corridor by the river, all in order to reconcile him and Wang Tong.

Li Xingzhou was also very grateful in his heart. Xie Linjiang was probably the so-called good guy and nerd, but he was indeed talented, and he didn't dislike this kind of person.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether you are a reader or a singer, as long as you have a bottom line and stick to it, the principle is beautiful.

Like Qi Fang, she pursues power and control, and although she may do many things that are unacceptable to ordinary people, Li Xingzhou thinks she is respectable.

Another example is Chen Yu, he insists on his standpoint, he would rather sacrifice his life to seek the law than to be flexible. Many people think that he is stubborn and ignorant of the world, but Li Xingzhou admires him very much.

Another example is people like Xie Linjiang, who was listening to the matter of Yulou at the beginning, and later the matter of the Wangfu, which shows that although he is a nerd, he is very principled, a stupid and resolute nerd.

Li Xingzhou does not despise scholars, but despises scholars without principles.If he is like a politician, or in a position of last resort, he doesn't despise double-faced swords so much, but having no principles really disgusts him.

The two talked for a while, and then they met Cao Yu, Yan Junru and others. Xie Linjiang reunited with them after a long absence, and they couldn't finish talking. Li Xingzhou didn't bother them, said goodbye to them, and went back to find Gillian and the others.

The four girls watched the river sing and played poker, having fun.

The number of painted boats on the river also increased as the night fell. The Wangfu also wanted to build painted boats and had the financial resources, but Li Xingzhou failed to do so in the end. Now is the time to eat money. Steel, large ships, firearms, and research and development are all indispensable. Flowery silver.

He used perfume and wine to gather capital, and all of this capital was used on the tip of the knife.

Li Xingzhou didn't tell Gillian about meeting her parents, he just sat beside her and whispered to her about helping him criticize poems later.

Gillian's beautiful eyes were full of doubts: "Why do you want me to help?"

Li Xingzhou coughed twice, and said honestly, "I'm not very good at criticizing poems."

Gillian's beautiful eyebrows were raised, and she smiled lightly: "Others invite the prince to be the guest, but they value the prince's talent and learning, so there is no reason for me to comment on it, and I also want to write a poem tonight for the prince to comment on." Woolen cloth."

"He's just lazy, and he still makes excuses." Shiyu gave him a blank look.

Li Xingzhou wants to cry but has no tears, I'm not lazy, I really don't know how, it's truer than Pearl
Gillian tilted her head and said: "If the prince is afraid of trouble, you can just speak less. There are at least dozens of guests on the seat. Not everyone can comment, and those who can do it will naturally gain a reputation. Many talented people will also respect each other by example. That's why so many people are willing to be critics in the high seat.

The prince doesn't care about those reputations, as long as he doesn't speak, it's not so troublesome, giggling."

A Jiao laughed while talking, Li Xingzhou was taken aback, thinking carefully about the poetry meeting he had attended, it seemed to make sense.

There are dozens of people sitting on the jury table, not everyone has to comment, if the poems are not good, just one person can comment and pass it, and the good ones will be circulated, but not everyone has to say comments and so on. Most of them are the most famous university scholars.

Now he was completely relieved, the poetry meeting would not start until around ten o'clock in the evening, so he finally didn't have to wait in fear
After I figured it out, I suddenly felt relaxed, and seeing groups of gifted scholars in the distance wanting to use their brains to recite poems and fight against each other, I also felt cute.

Then he started to direct Yue'er to play cards, humming along with the music on the boat.

In a trance, he seemed to hear a noise in the distance, but he couldn't tell where it was coming from.
In the attic of Yongyue Waterside Pavilion, everyone gathered in one place, several young masters dressed in brocade were surrounded by the crowd, one of them stood by the railing, holding up a pair of words, the other two blocked the crowd, and the other read aloud .

"The map of Zeguo Jiangshan entering the war, the life of the people is Leqiao Su.

According to Jun Mo's words, you can seal the marquis' affairs, and once you succeed, your bones will dry up."

The four sentences of the seven-character poem are full of atmosphere and profound meaning, and the words are used perfectly, which can be called a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation.

So those few talented scholars immediately attracted the attention of many people, and a large number of talented ladies gathered in the corridor by the river to watch.

"My dear friends, which one of you wrote this poem?"

"Good poetry, good poetry."

"Good talent and learning, such a profound poetic background."

"."

The commotion was getting bigger and bigger, and people kept approaching, and they were also attracted by this excellent poem, and no one took a step for a while.

There are more and more people gathering around the corridor, and the voice of discussion is getting louder. Inside the corridor, there is a buzz of people's voices. Originally, everyone is gentlemen, elegant scholars, and ladies of all ages. If they gather together, they will not be as noisy as a market place. But the poetry is too much, everyone can't help sighing and discussing, and it looks like this.

When the three young masters saw this, one of them hurriedly cupped his hands, stood on the railing of the corridor, cupped his hands to make everyone quiet, and then explained loudly:

"Everyone, everyone, please listen to the next sentence!"

When he opened his mouth, everyone fell silent. After all, some people have long been curious about who made such a good poem.

The young master then said loudly: "I am from Suzhou, everyone must know that early this year there were bold rebels in Suzhou who violated the imperial court and committed rebellion. Xiao Ke was in Suzhou at that time."

"What are you talking about?"

"But whoever made this poem, it doesn't matter if you don't talk about the rest"

"That's right, that's right, King Pingnan made it clear that it's all done by the thief leader of the Nading family, and has nothing to do with ordinary people in Suzhou. Don't worry about these brothers Ren."

"Don't worry, brother, everyone is a sensible person and knows it well. King Pingnan said that it was the Suzhou people who captured the leader of the thief and opened the city gate. Brother, you don't have to worry about it."

"."

Seeing how forgiving everyone was, all three of them laughed gratefully, and they respected King Pingnan even more in their hearts.

Then the young man who recited the poem said loudly: "Everyone, I said this to explain the origin of this poem. This poem was not written by the three of us brothers. We just copied it. But the poem has a lot to do with the rebellion in Suzhou." , that’s why I’m talking about it.”

As soon as they heard about the story, everyone became more interested, and they all quieted down and waited eagerly.

The number of scholars in the corridor continued to increase, and finally gathered around a hundred people
The scholar arched his hands and said seriously: "Speaking of the origin of this poem, we have to start from the time when King Pingnan defeated the rebel army and settled down in Liushui, and the soldiers approached the city. King of the South."

On the other side, in the small pavilion on the river bank, Wang Tong was talking happily with several colleagues. Everyone talked about being an official, but most of them stopped at the point and didn't talk about it in depth.

Then it was close, talk about relationship, for example, when Shen Sheng mentioned that his family was doing business in Jiangzhou, he thanked him for his care, Wang Tong nodded and said a few polite words, but the relationship between us was so close up.

As the conversation deepened, Wang Tong also gradually discovered that everyone present here, such as Tongzhi Cansheng of Yantiesi, Zhang Rang of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and Tong Guan, commander of the infantry of the Guards, are all relatives of the family, whether they are far or near Do business in Ningjiang Mansion for a generation.

Everyone toasted and thanked him, the magistrate of Ningjiang, for his care. In an instant, everyone got closer and the atmosphere became more harmonious.

Everyone was talking and laughing, flattering each other or saying a few words of self-effacing, Wang Tong was also happy with this atmosphere.

But at this moment, a noisy sound suddenly came from the corridor in the distance, Yu Xiang frowned, and then called his followers to check
