The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 652 It's the Zheng Family Again

"Your Majesty is here~~~~"

Immediately afterwards, Deyi's sharp voice reached the ears of those present.

Everyone quickly got up to greet them, Xuan Shijing stood behind silently, Li Chengqian and his three brothers, as princes, naturally stood in front of the crowd.

"My son sees my father."

"My ministers, see your Majesty."

"Waiting for the ceremony." His Majesty Li Er waved his hand to let the people present excuse the ceremony, and then walked to the main seat of the banquet.

The place where the banquet was held was very spacious, so long before Xuan Shijing's arrival, the tables and cases in this place had been neatly arranged, and some snacks such as fruit cakes were placed on the table cases in advance. After His Majesty Li Er took his seat, Then some court ladies and eunuchs stepped forward to remove these things and replaced them with tea and wine. Next, the people from Shangshi Bureau began to serve the dishes.

"Deyi, go and bring those three scholars in." After taking his seat, His Majesty Li Er ordered.

"No." After Deyi answered, he left.

From this point of view, His Majesty Li Er had met the top three Jinshi before the banquet started. Thinking of this possibility, all the Jinshi present showed envious expressions. He was favored by His Majesty, and his success is just around the corner.

Not long after, Deyi walked into the Imperial Garden with two young men and a man in his 30s at the end of January.

"Grassmen see Your Majesty." The three walked to the center and bowed their hands to His Majesty Li Er.

"Excuse me, take your seat." His Majesty Li Er nodded.

After everyone is seated, the banquet will officially begin. The banquet in the imperial garden is naturally indispensable to the singing and dancing performances. The performances are all performed by musicians and dancers in the palace. Normally, the ministers can't watch it several times throughout the year, let alone these heads. A Jinshi who entered the palace once.

The Jinshi were looking at the dancing girls, but His Majesty Li Er was secretly observing these Jinshi, especially the top three he hand-picked this time.

Xuan Shijing was still sitting with Li Tai, having no interest in leisure time, seeing these maids waving their long sleeves could also be a pastime.

After the singing and dancing retreated, His Majesty Li Er raised his wine glass and said with a smile on his face: "Today, I am holding this banquet in the Imperial Garden. I invite all courtiers to have a look at this year's new scholars. I believe that Jun Yan, who was selected in the Tai Chi Hall's palace examination, will definitely be the minister of the humerus of my Tang Dynasty in the future, so in the future, you will all be officials in the same court, so get closer."

"I will follow His Majesty's will." Everyone clasped their hands in response.

"Those three are the top three chosen by His Majesty?" Xuan Shijing moved closer to Li Tai and asked in a low voice, "Which one came out on top?"

"Nuo, just the older one, I heard that he is from the Zheng family, but the Zheng family doesn't seem to care about him." Li Tai said: "This person came from the Zheng family, and he was born in a side house. Basically, I have nothing to do with the Zheng family, but this time he took the lead in Chunwei, I am afraid that the Zheng family will treat him differently."

Although the aristocratic family has an ambiguous attitude towards the officials who entered the imperial court through Chunwei, it may be different this year. For the Zheng family, the winners are the Zheng family. As a support, it is not difficult to go straight to the top of the court. Such a useful person to the Zheng family, the Zheng family will be very happy to win over.

"It's really realistic. After this person took a seat at the banquet, he didn't even make eye contact with the members of the Zheng family. You see, the faces of the Zheng family turned green, so I think it is possible that this person was used by the Zheng family." Not too much." Xuan Shijing picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

After listening to Xuan Shijing's words, Li Tai frowned, and his eyes fell on the man again. Sure enough, the Zheng family looked at the man with very dissatisfied eyes, but the man didn't respond at all.

This is interesting.

"Xiao Jing, what else do you see?" Li Tai asked.

Xuan Shijing put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "Yes, although this person is the concubine of the Zheng family and has some weak blood relationship with the Zheng family, but this person should not have a good relationship with the Zheng family, not only is it not good, And it’s likely that there’s an animosity between them.”

"How can you tell?" Li Taifu asked.

"If there is no enmity, why would this person offend the Zheng family before he entered the officialdom? If there is no enmity, there is no need to offend people with such unfaithful words to the Zheng family. Looking at the Zheng family, if ordinary people don't Pay attention to him, at most he just sneered and didn't know what to do, why should his face be so ugly, it is obvious that he looked down on that person from before, seeing that he is now valued by His Majesty, there is anger in his heart but he can't vent it." Xuan Shi Jing analyzed: "So I guess, the fact is that this person had a rift with the Zheng family at first, but now because he has taken the lead in Chun Wei, the Zheng family wants to recruit him back, but this person does not agree with the Zheng family, so that's why There will be today's scene."

After listening to Xuan Shijing's analysis, Li Tai couldn't help but nodded. He had to say that what Xuan Shijing said was very reasonable, but he didn't expect Xuan Shijing to judge people and things so accurately. He didn't know it before he came to the banquet. Who are the top three in the palace examination? After a face-to-face meeting, he can see some things between the leader and the Zheng family. This power of observation is enough to make Li Tai feel ashamed.

Xuan Shijing's conjecture is actually based on a basis. The Qiwang family with five surnames in the Tang Dynasty is so huge that it is only the son of the eldest son who is valued. What's more, after the side room.

Although today is a banquet in the imperial garden, but the clothes of this person are still very simple, which shows that this person's family is not rich, maybe because of his study, the life is very tense, that is to say, This family has already been abandoned by the Zheng family. Not only was it abandoned, but they may have been bullied by the Zheng family on weekdays.

At this time, Xuan Shijing was thinking about whether to get in touch with this person. He did not forget that the assassins who assassinated the Wang family last time were the Zheng family. Wang Jingzhi had already paid the price, but the Zheng family who participated in it, apart from losses A group of assassins are still at large.

When this idea appeared in his mind, he was a little out of control, but his rationality still told Xuan Shijing that it was not appropriate to make a move now. Even though the result he guessed was very likely, it was not [-]% sure after all. , so Xuan Shijing can't take this risk.

Make up your mind, hold back for the time being, and see where this person can go in the future, and how the follow-up with the Zheng family will be. It is not too late to make a decision. If you make a rash move, it will only make the Zheng family stare at you, which is not worthwhile. up.

While Xuan Shijing and Li Tai were whispering to each other, the atmosphere in the imperial garden gradually heated up, and there were signs of a blind date meeting.
