Ming politicians

When the carriage stopped, Su Tiancheng had become extremely serious, without him, the carriage stopped in front of the Jinwang Mansion.

King Zhu Qiugui of Jin passed away in the third year of Chongzhen. His son Zhu Shenxuan was conferred the title of Prince of Jin at that time. Later, in the eighth year of Chongzhen, he was canonized as King of Jin and was also the last King of Jin.

There are countless princes in the Ming Dynasty. During the reign of Chongzhen, there were as many as 27 princes distributed in various places. Since the battle of Jingnan and the rebellion of the Han king Zhu Gaoxu, the emperor has attached great importance to governing the princes. The vassal king is not allowed to participate in local political affairs, and is not allowed to interfere with the local area, and has been strictly restricted.

However, the status of the prince is honorable after all. Officials from all over the country pay great attention to it. Even the governor does not dare to offend the prince easily. This makes some princes use their own power to amass money wantonly. Money is still available. Of course, they will not do business properly, nor do they know how to do business. What they do is some illegal things. The money comes quickly, and a large number of land acquisitions, so most of Your lord, you are as rich as oil.

Along the way, Su Tiancheng was thinking about who sent this invitation. He never imagined that it was related to the palace. Since the servant girl kept saying that she was her own lady, and accidentally named Miss County, then It must be the princess. From the analysis of age, it should be the daughter of Jin Wang Zhu Qiugui who passed away more than a year ago.

It's been almost a year since I saw Xu Eryi before, and now I want to see the princess, including Jin Shizi Zhu Shenxuan, Su Tiancheng is a little emotional, he and Daming have gradually merged into one.

Outside the palace, there were quite a few carriages and servants waiting outside the gate.

Entering the palace, someone took Wang Dazhi to the next room to rest, the girl led the way, and led Su Tiancheng towards the inside of the palace.

The grandeur of the palace is indeed extraordinary, with pavilions, towers, pavilions, flowers and trees, small bridges and flowing water, all of which show the identity and temperament of the owner.After walking a long way and passing through several pavilions, I heard crisp laughter.

"Young master, it's here, you come with your servants."

The little girl's attitude has changed, she is respectful, her previous aggressiveness has completely disappeared.

Passing through a wall, Su Tiancheng's eyes lit up. There is also a garden inside, which is probably the garden within a garden mentioned in the book, and he finally saw it today.

The garden is not big, there is a clear lake in the middle, surrounded by rockery, and some pavilions are scattered throughout the period, which is very comfortable to look at.

In one of the largest pavilions, several girls were laughing, and outside the pavilion stood some young men, all dressed imposingly.

"My lord, please go with your servants to meet the princess."

Su Tiancheng bit the bullet and asked, but he had no choice but to ask, he didn't even know the princess's name.

"Dare to ask the girl, the name of the princess."

The girl raised her head and looked at Su Tiancheng, her face turned red, as if she was thinking about losing her temper.

"Young master, just follow the slaves, and you must pay attention to what you say later."

Su Tiancheng felt a little resentful, Damn, what a big deal, asking for a name, is it such a big deal, your princess treats guests, I don't even know the name of the princess, wouldn't it be even more impolite? .

There are still many things he needs to know. What is the name of this princess? Is it a descendant or a concubine? Judging by the grandeur of the princess's hospitality, it is likely that he was born in the first place.

The girl led Su Tiancheng to the side of the pavilion, but did not point out who the princess was.

Su Tiancheng frowned, revenge is so fast, does this also require a test.

He glanced at the girls in the pavilion from the corner of his eye, and saw a girl wearing a light white silk padded jacket with an extraordinary temperament.

The most important thing is that the girls around are unconsciously centered on this girl, and when laughing and talking, they all pay attention to this girl's demeanor.

This girl, who is very beautiful, looks like a fairy descending from the earth.

Su Tiancheng smiled slightly, and bowed his fists to the girl.

"Su Tiancheng pays his respects to the princess."

"Hmph, Xie Yuanlang is really arrogant, he is the last one to come, if I don't invite you, will I not come?"

Su Tiancheng blinked his eyes and didn't speak. No wonder maids are so powerful. It's hereditary. There are servants who have the same kind of master. It seems that the princess has a really big temper.

"Everyone, today we will hold a poetry and prose meeting. We will meet friends through literature, and we will meet friends through poetry."

As the princess spoke, the men and women inside and outside the pavilion stopped talking.

"Everyone is as free as they want, without any restrictions, just play to your heart's content..."

When it comes to writing poetry, Su Tiancheng really doesn't know anything about it, not to mention the old Su Tiancheng, who knew stereotyped essays and imperial examinations all day long. Even before time travel, he had never written poems, let alone ancient poems. , although I appreciate the amazing talent of the ancients in writing poems.

It was actually very embarrassing for him to attend such a poetry meeting, without any preparation in advance.

Su Tiancheng didn't know any of the people around him. It seems that the new imperial examination candidates participated by himself. This princess is really arrogant. The 65 new imperial examination candidates only invited himself.

The behavior of these people around them is very strange. Judging by their attitudes, they show respect and humility. In front of the princess, they must not be arrogant, but by their side, they can feel the behavior of contempt for others. It seems that These people must be the children of officials and officials, and they have a natural sense of superiority.

To say that in such an environment, he feels uncomfortable.

"Today's poetry meeting still has a little requirement. Political affairs are not discussed, and your poems and essays should not touch political affairs, so as not to embarrass me. The wind, the flowers, the snow and the moon can be your subject matter."

Su Tiancheng nodded secretly, it seems that this princess is really powerful, if today's poetry meeting, everyone feels the current situation, writes some poems and articles discussing government affairs, and the emperor knows, what will they think? The vassal king is absolutely not allowed to participate in politics, isn't this asking for trouble?

Of course, it is probably impossible for these people around to talk about current affairs.

There are already many maids, and some fruits, cold dishes and jugs are placed inside and outside the pavilion.

Princes and relatives are very careful about whether men and women give or receive each other. Therefore, the men are outside the pavilion, and the girls are inside the pavilion. Even the princess also stands in the pavilion and talks.

The poetry meeting had just begun, and a young man volunteered to compose a poem, speaking words that would attract others.

Here, no one paid special attention to Su Tiancheng, and everyone's attitude was very indifferent.

Although Su Tiancheng was strange, he didn't take it seriously, since different ways do not conspire with each other, this is not a place to make friends.

The young man quickly finished writing and read it aloud.

"The jade tree dances in the wind, and its branches shoot into the Han Palace. Yu Jin is still dyed green, and his sleeves are flying red. The sea is wide and the dragon sings the water, and the mountain is high and the phoenix is ​​in the sky. The Luoqi Pavilion in the Yaotian, and the Langfeng alone."

Even Su Tiancheng, who doesn't know much about ancient poetry, felt that this poem was good after listening to it. He was a little surprised, and looked at the young man, but the young man's demeanor was a bit floating, and he didn't look like he was very talented at all.

The people around applauded, and some cheered, but the princess didn't respond in particular.

At this time, he understood that this poetry meeting must have been notified in advance. These young people have long been prepared. These poems are not necessarily written by themselves. It is very likely that they were written by others. Bring it here to show off.

Soon, the second poem came out.

"I can't bear to see the fairies in the Qi Pavilion. Listening to the Yingying on the east wall, I am heartbroken every sentence. I want to coil the fragrant grass, and love the green poplars. Why should I look forward to it and relieve my heavy sorrow." <The love has been forgotten.Xie Xiaohua is speechless, looking at the flowers is in vain.From the flying wind to the swallows, from the dancing to the Yangyang across the river.Fangjie relies on strong grass, who pities the wounded wanderer. "

Su Tiancheng almost couldn't hold back. After listening to the first poem, he still felt that these young people might have some talent, but the second and third poems had already hit him hard. These three poems, whether they are The tone is still the subject matter, it seems to be written by a couple of lovers, it seems to be a form of singing together, that is to say, these dandy sons may have invited a couple of lovers to make poems, and they are here to show off.

What a dude.

Su Tiancheng felt blushed. This is the poetry meeting held by the princess. Can't you find more people, even people with different styles, to make some poems, so that it will look better, isn't it? Do you think everyone is an idiot, including the princess.The most terrible thing is that the third poem was obviously written by a woman, don't you big men understand it?

Sure enough, the princess's complexion was not very good-looking. The girls around the princess wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh out loud.

Seeing such a scene, Su Tiancheng decided to stand on the sidelines. He didn't need to be in the limelight. To be honest, he didn't have the right to be in the limelight. He felt regretful that he didn't make any preparations. Otherwise, he would find someone to write a few poems and take Come here to be perfunctory.

But there is one problem, he still thought of it, the princess's status is honorable, these young people, who are ignorant and incompetent, are not afraid to show off with such poems.

After a little understanding, Su Tiancheng was even more angry.

Take a step back and say that among the so-called officials' children in the Ming Dynasty, there already existed such an ethos, showing off, ignorant, and shameless, but I am a provincial tester, at least he has real skills, you guys In front of me, Xie Yuanlang, reciting such poems, what do you think of me, like you, are you an ignorant pussy?

At this moment, Su Tiancheng really wanted to turn around and leave the palace.
