The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

It is said that Li Duan is the first time to visit Princess Shengping's mansion.Guo Nuan did not put on the noble airs of the son-in-law.This made Li Duan, who was born in a cold snap, feel very comfortable.

chatting chatting.Naturally, Li Duan talked about the upcoming exam in a few days.The appointment of the proctor is top secret.Therefore, it is impossible for ordinary civilians to know the inside story.Only the children of some high officials can know a little bit through gossip in the palace.

Guo Nuan smiled.Looking at this Li Duan who failed to pass the Gongsheng examination twice in a row.It is said that Li Duan actually has a lot of talent and learning.Otherwise, how could he be called one of the top ten talents in the Chang'an literary circle.It's just the subject of each exam in the scientific examination.And the personal style of the marking officer.Personality preferences are different.Even Li Duan's literary talent is amazing.Just a little bit of luck.

Guo Nuan comforted her for a while.Li Duan's slightly depressed mood has temporarily improved.Get excited.

After entertaining Li Duan for a drink.Guo Nuan invited Li Duan to his birthday party the next day.Li Duan readily agreed.

For the second day banquet Li Duan.Except for the factor of a friend's banquet.In fact, Guo Nuan still has some thoughts.

It's the son-in-law's birthday.There will inevitably be celebrities and officials from Chang'an visiting.If Guo Nuan gave this underappreciated Li Duan a great talent, he would recommend it to all the high officials in the court.Even if there is no substantial benefit.But at least it can make Li Duan, a low-level scholar, look familiar in front of officials.For the sake of Guo Nuan's son-in-law.Is there any reason for the officials who are friendly with Guo Nuan not to look up to Li Duan.This can be regarded as Guo Nuan's little help to Li Duan.

At night, Guo Nuan hurried into the city to visit the emperor.The appointment of three examiners has come out.One is Cui Youfu.This is Zhongshu Sheren.It is said that he was also an official transferred from other places to the central government of the capital half a year ago.Guo Nuan heard that Master Cui had a tough temper.Always fair.Coupled with literary talent and knowledge, it has a very profound background.Serve as one of the three examiners.Portions are adequate.

As for the second place is Yang Yan.Guo Nuan only found out about Yang Yan's history after asking Shengping's wife.This person used to be the secretary in charge of Lu Chongpi, the governor of the West.As a person who came from a professional writing course.The language is gorgeous.And it has a majestic air.Cultural circles often say.Wen is like a person.Indeed in most cases.The temperament of the articles written by a person reveals his own disposition to a certain extent.But this Yang Yan Shangshu gave it to him.But he is a narrow-minded person.Known as the Lord who will repay every grievance.

It is said that he and another villain in the court are sworn enemies.Dislike each other.The two have been pinching each other since they were recently transferred to the central government.This opponent is the extremely ugly Lu Qi.Commonly known as Lu wolfberry.A small head with a pointed forehead and chin.Flushed.Really like goji berries.I heard that Lu Gouqi turned against this person because the former said the latter was uneducated.It is true that wolfberry has a lot of tricks.In addition to flattery.Nothing.Once in power.It is very likely that the DPRK and China will undergo a major purge.The wrist is extremely vicious.

The last one is Guo Nuan's year-end friend.Lord Yan Zhenqing.The dean of the literary and calligraphy circles.Serving as a marking officer is indeed a perfect fit.Well deserved.

Guo Nuan's birthday party tomorrow.All three examiners will come to pay a visit.In addition to appreciating face and celebrating.There is also the intention of ventilating and cooperating with each other before the exam.

Nothing happened overnight.Guo Nuan woke up early.Say early in the morning.The sound of servants busying could be heard outside the room.Guo Nuan pushed Shengping who was sleeping sweetly on the bed.She rubbed her eyes.Pick up the baby in the cradle.

"I almost overslept. Today is the son-in-law's birthday celebration." Shengping blamed himself.

There are three poles in the sun.Some gorgeous carriages gradually came to the gate of the Princess Mansion.The officials who gave the gifts all came with their families.Mother Wang also came.Guo Nuan settled the old lady in the backyard.Together with Shengping's daughter-in-law, they have a good time.as the male host.Guo Nuan complacently went up and down to personally receive the guests outside the gate of the mansion.

Linger and her mother Concubine Dugu came.Because Daizong was busy with political affairs.So they sent their mother and daughter as representatives.There are also Yan Zhenqing and Yan Ruoshui father and daughter.Followed by Lu Qi.Chang Dagon.Abu.and Cui Youfu.Of course Yuan Zai also came.Although Guo Nuan and Yuan Zai are not from the same party.But usually get along with a friendly smile.

Liu Yan is a prime minister on the left.Grandpa one.He also came in person.on crutches.Trembling and supported by two little boys.Guo Nuan's eyes lit up when he saw it.By the way, I haven't seen much of Mr. Liu Yan for a while.The old man has aged a lot.

Guo Nuan also saw a middle-aged man whom he met not long ago at the gate of the official office of Dali Temple in the Imperial Palace.At that time, he opened the curtain in the sedan chair and took a look at Guo Nuan.Guo Nuan was deeply impressed.

It turned out that he was Jolene.That Qiao Yun's father.Guo Nuan sighed for a while.The world is so small.Offended his son.Dad popped up again.This time the central government has undergone a major shake-up.There are so many unfamiliar faces.Guo Nuan is not very familiar with it.

Guo Nuan also invited the singer Xiaoyao of Yaran Pavilion.It is said that before inviting Xiaoyao.Guo Nuan specifically asked Shengping's wife for her opinion.Shengping is a virtuous and virtuous wife.For Guo Nuan, invite new friends.And she is also a lowly singer.Smiling, she graciously agreed: "Only friends of the son-in-law. How can I ignore it because of my low status."

Of course Xiaoyao also came.But she was dressed like an official, a celebrity, and a lady.Plus proper manners and speech.Just like a famous lady.

In fact, Guo Nuan could invite Xiaoyao.She was a little surprised.But take this opportunity.Undoubtedly, it is a very favorable opportunity for her to break into the top officials.Of course Xiaoyao should not be missed.

Guo Nuan looked at an empty courtyard.Xiaoyao who is a courtesan.Dress elegantly and purely.Talk naturally with a group of high-ranking officials in the court.From time to time, people chatted and laughed.Guo Nuan helplessly smiled.It seems that this singer Xiaoyao has an occupational disease.In the blink of an eye.It's easy for these adults to get acquainted so quickly.

The banquet started with the sound of firecrackers.Unusually lively.The banquet of more than 300 tables exceeded the original expectation.Fortunately, Shengping has a good schedule.Be prepared.There were one-third more guest tables and they did not neglect.

Guo Nuan is about to go all out now.It's time to test your drinking capacity.He raised his wine glass and toasted the tables next to each other.He said boldly, "I'll do it. You can do whatever you want."

This sentence received bursts of applause.Guo Nuan's belly is really not shallow.He drank seventeen cups in a row.His face remained the same.But Shengping, who was holding the child next to him, was a little worried about his son-in-law's body.If you keep pouring it like this, your body will be tossed and broken.It was with great difficulty that Guo Nuan's seriously injured body was recuperated for two months.It's not okay to drink too much.

Shengping made a toast to everyone.Yan Ran smiled back.Gently took the wine glass in Guo Nuan's hand.Lifted his head and drank it all in one gulp.Call the maid to pour three glasses of wine in a row.Also calmly drank it all.

Unexpectedly, the always gentle and dignified princess would have such a heroic act.Cherish the husband to block the wine for the son-in-law.Immediately, this move aroused applause from hundreds of people in the compound at the scene.

"My son-in-law's physical injury has not yet healed. Let me take care of these few glasses of wine."

The princess drank a few glasses.They all said such reasonable things.The guests at the banquet happily stopped letting Guo Nuan pour wine to celebrate.

Although Guo Nuan can drink.I can't get drunk for a while.But there is too much wine in my stomach.More urine after digestion.There is about a jar of white wine and rice wine.It hurts that he always runs to the toilet to use the trumpet for half an hour.

In a festive atmosphere.Guo Nuan didn't notice some disharmony among them.as the host of the banquet.Guo Nuan sat at the top of the main table.And on his left is Master Liu Yan.As the current left phase.There is nothing to say about leaving this position for him.But the position arrangement on the right hand side is indeed a bit subtle.It's not the right phase.

Although Empress Dugu is expensive, she is the number one in the harem.But because it is a representative of the royal family.She and Shengping.And a group of female family members brought by the officials were arranged to have a banquet in a large courtyard.So there is no such thing as Empress Dugu competing for the seat on Guo Nuan's right.

On Guo Nuan's right hand now is the adult Yan Zhenqing.Of course, the party in the DPRK is divided.Liu Yangui is the prime minister.Sitting on the left hand of the owner.The officials were speechless.But Won Jae did not sit on the right hand side, which symbolizes face.It's the second place on the right hand side.Undoubtedly, it is a culture that pays attention to face in officialdom.He felt very humiliated.

Sitting third on the right hand side is Yang Yan.Yang Yan was taken care of by Yuan Zai before.He has been promoted in official career by virtue of favor.Therefore, Yang Yan, who took the right minister Yuan Zai as his leader, could not understand Guo Nuan's arrangement.Undoubtedly, Guo Nuan, who had neglected to arrange the seating order, was out of luck.

Yang Yan whispered to Yuan Zai, who had a gloomy expression, from time to time during the meal.Yuan Zai's meal was a bit unpleasant.Say which official banquet.The master must treat him as the right minister to invite the guest of honor.But this time in front of almost all court officials.It turns out that Guo Nuan let him be the third child.Although Yan Zhenqing was highly respected in court and China.But no matter how high the prestige is.It's just a book.But it's one level lower than him.It's like the relationship between ministers and prime ministers in the central government of the modern State Council.Didn't this make all the officials laugh in private that Yuan Zaicheng was no better than a lower official Shangshu?So this meal Yuanzai looked at a feast of delicacies.Eating it is like chewing wax in your mouth.

In addition, his buddy Yang Yan whispered in his ear from time to time.It's wrong to say that Guo Nuan's etiquette is wrong.Openly despised the authority of Mr. Right Xiangyuan.This is very disrespectful.Undoubtedly, Yang Yan's villainous behavior played a role in fanning the flames of the incident.Yuan Zai was halfway through eating.He put down the bamboo chopsticks with a grim expression.Say goodbye for any reason.As for Yang Yan, he also resigned and kept up with the old master.

Guo Nuan saw Yuan Zai leaving sullenly.He just realized the problem.But wait until you know it.and irreparable.So he grinned dumbly.I didn't think much about it.Then he was busy greeting guests again.

"Yang Yan is narrow-minded. He offended his old boss Yuan Zai today. Concubine Guo, you have to be careful." Yan Zhenqing kindly reminded Guo Nuan.
