Chapter 34

Chapter 038
Zhang Xuan's heart was also tense.

He didn't know what Li Longji meant by mentioning this matter at this time.It should be impossible to ask for guilt; but it seems even more impossible to mention it aimlessly.

Zhang Xuan's thoughts flashed, his face remained unchanged, and he replied in a loud voice, "Back to the emperor, Zhang Xuan did not insult and ridicule anyone, but just discussed the matter. The treacherous ministers harmed the country, and the sycophants took power. Over time, the world will surely be in trouble..."

"Presumptuous!" Li Longji suddenly slammed the table, and reprimanded in a deep voice, "You are young, what do you know? You are not as good as a weak crown, talking about state affairs and criticizing ministers, what crime should you be?"

Li Longji had a sudden attack, and everyone present was startled.Mrs. Guo Guo's charming face was swept away, her lips trembled a few times, and she was about to say a few words of intercession for Zhang Xuan, but Yang Yuhuan who was beside Li Longji frowned and said, "Sanlang, the young man said after drinking A few words that go too far, what's the point?"

Li Longji waved his hand, Yang Yuhuan couldn't say anything more when he saw him like this, so he could only sigh secretly, and looked at Zhang Xuan full of helplessness and pity.

The emperor's anger was too unreasonable.

Zhang Xuan didn't panic, he hurriedly sorted out his slightly messy mood, slowly raised his head, and resolutely said, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Although Zhang Xuan is young, he has read the books of sages in the young Bingting court, But I also know that I often use my body to serve the country and society. The treacherous ministers control the government and try to deceive the saints. As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xuan is like a stick in his throat, and he can't spit out!"

"Even if you offend the dignitaries because of this...and even splatter blood for five steps, Zhang Xuan will not hesitate!"

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world!" Princess Yuzhen Li Chiying's eyes flashed with divine light, she clapped her hands and applauded, "Brother, it's hard for a young man to worry about the country and the people and the world at heart. This kind of childlike heart is very rare. .In the future, he must be the minister of the humerus of the Tang Dynasty. After a famous family, his vision, talent, learning, and courage are all superior to others. Zhang Jiuling will be like this, and he will rest in peace!"

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." Li Longji calmed down again for no reason, chanted softly, and suddenly laughed loudly, "Zhang Xuan, I will remember what you said. If the people of Tang Dynasty are as ambitious as you Keep lofty goals, care about the world, be loyal to the emperor and love the country, why should we worry about not being able to prosper for thousands of years?"

"In the whole world, I am the only one in Tang Dynasty." Li Longji stood up suddenly, waving his long sleeves, and his voice was sonorous and powerful.At this moment, the old aura in his body was swept away, replaced by a domineering and proud feeling that looked down on the world.

Zhang Xuan let out a long breath and bowed down.

Sure enough, it was Li Longji's whim, or a test.As the supreme monarch of the Tang Dynasty, he can be moody anytime and anywhere for no reason, and use all kinds of methods he can think of to test and even tease his subjects.

Helpless, he is the emperor.In this era of imperial power, the emperor is the sky.

Yang Yuhuan frowned, and in order to adjust the atmosphere, he interjected with a smile, "Zhang Xuan, I saw that you are talented in poetry. Today is just the time for the meeting, and I would like to have fun. Would you like to recite a poem for me?"

As soon as Yang Yuhuan's words came out of his mouth, Li Longji smiled and echoed, "Well, that's exactly the case. Zhang Xuan, please recite a poem for the imperial concubine. If you recite it well, I will reward you a lot."

Zhang Xuan was startled, and couldn't help but secretly smiled bitterly.Still singing poetry?Is it over or not?
He stepped forward to salute, and hesitantly replied, "The emperor and the empress have orders, and Zhang Xuan dare not refuse. Just to discuss poetry, Li Taibai's three Qingping tunes back then, the so-called "Yun Xiang Clothes Hua Xiangrong" , The spring breeze blows the sill Revlon...', every word and every sentence has already expressed the beauty of the mother's country, the beauty and beauty of the sky, and no one can match it. If Zhang Xuan sings again, it will become superfluous and not beautiful."

"Oh?" Li Longji's face was wrong, his eyes flickered, and he seemed to recall the three Qingping tunes with Yang Yuhuan as the theme that Li Bai wrote on the spot after getting drunk in the imperial garden. He remembered that he was an emperor at that time. Immediately ordered someone to compose the tune, and ordered Li Guinian to sing a long song, and he himself stepped on the stage and danced, which became a long-running story in Chang'an City.

"Yunxiang's clothes are beautiful, and the spring breeze is blowing on the threshold of Revlon..." Yang Yuhuan muttered to herself, as if lost in memories, a seductive blush slowly appeared on her charming face.After being absent-minded for a long time, she raised her pink and smooth jade arm, raised her hand and sighed, "What you said makes sense. When Li Taibai's three poems came out that day, my heart was filled... In this way, this palace will not be difficult for you."

"Oh, I'm very sorry."

Li Longji gently reached out and grabbed Yang Yuhuan's hand, and said softly, "Yuhuan, don't do this. Zhang Xuan, I won't make it difficult for you. You may wish to sing to cheer for today's feast. No matter what, I will There are many rewards."

After Li Longji said this, Zhang Xuan knew in his heart that if he declined again, he might arouse the strong dissatisfaction of the overly powerful emperor, and all his efforts today would be in vain in an instant.

Helpless, he had no choice but to go forward and bow to accept the order.However, he pondered for a moment, his heart moved, and he suddenly said, "Madam, Zhang Xuan has little talent and learning, and he is as difficult as his predecessors...Song Yu has "Goddess Fu", Sima Xiangru has "Beauty Fu", Cao Zhi has "Luo Shen Fu" , are all famous works handed down from generation to generation. Now Zhang Xuan is willing to follow the example of the ancients and do his best to write a "Taizhen Fairy Fu" for the empress. I wonder if the empress will grant it?"

Before entering the palace, Yang Yuhuan once became a monk as a female Taoist priest under the name Taizhen.Therefore, it is also known as Yang Taizhen.

Hearing what Zhang Xuan said, Yang Yuhuan couldn't help being moved, raised his brows lightly, and smiled softly, "It's kind to dare. I will listen carefully, and let's see how the little man of the Zhang family writes this tribute to me for this too true fairy."

……

……

Zhang Xuan sat down at his desk and wrote quickly, almost in one go.

In the time of a cup of tea, he completed an eloquent prose with hundreds of words.Raising his head, he secretly said in his heart, "Grand Cao forgive me", but handed both hands to Gao Lishi with his expression unchanged.

Li Longji smiled lightly, waved his hands and said, "Lishi, read."

Gao Lishi coughed twice, cleared his throat, and was about to sing, but he heard Princess Yuzhen Li Chiying laughing at the side, "Brother Emperor, since there are excellent works, we can't be without music. Let Yinger play the piano on the spot, how can I Don't they complement each other?"

Li Longji laughed heartily, "That's right, that's right. Come here, get the piano."

Seeing the emperor's response, Li Chiying glanced back at his goddaughter meaningfully.Cui Ying knew what Princess Yuzhen was thinking, it was nothing more than seeing Zhang Xuan's talents emerging one after another, and thinking of the two's engagement, she was afraid that Zhang Xuan would underestimate her in the future, so she deliberately asked herself to "get in the way". Qin Gong.

Cui Ying is proficient in temperament and is even better at playing the piano, which is known to almost everyone in Chang'an City.And she became attached to Li Chiying back then because of the sound of the piano.

Although Cui Ying didn't want to be in the limelight, since Princess Yuzhen said it, she couldn't help it.
