Chapter 60
Chapter 065

Zhang Defu hastily ran over and kowtowed to the ground, and said in a clear voice, "Your Majesty, this servant has invited Zhang Xuan, the young man of the Zhang family, here, and is now waiting for your Majesty's call."

In fact, Yang Guifei had already seen Zhang Xuan's tall and elegant figure standing in the corner of the palace at this time.She looked up to that room, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said loudly, "Chuan, give me a seat."

If it is said that Zhang Xuan's so-called talent and name did not really make Yang Guifei feel good about him, but then Zhang Xuan's "Ode to Taizhen Fairy" at Mrs. Guo's mansion completely moved her.

The literary and beautiful rhetoric is like the sound of fairy sounds, every word and sentence echoed in her heart, and she ordered Renyu to write, mount and hang them in the palace.

"Zhang Xuan pays homage to the empress." Zhang Xuan bowed his head and walked up to him, paying homage.At this moment, in the formal occasions in the palace, there is no room for him to be careless and negligent.

Yang Yuhuan smiled slightly, and said softly, "Excuse me, Brother Xuan, please sit down. Today, the palace is hosting a banquet for An Qingxu, the second son of Anlu Mountain, and no outsiders are invited...Let Guozhong accompany you."

"Thank you for your kindness." Zhang Xuan got up slowly, walked to the back of the table calmly, and sat down calmly.He knew in his heart that Yang Yuhuan's behavior was actually meant to support him—to create an opportunity for him to get in touch with Yang Guozhong.

Yang Guozhong looked at Zhang Xuan deeply, thinking that this is Zhang Jiuling's youngest son——Zhang Xuan who had the audacity to denounce Li Linfu?This young man is actually handsome, no wonder he likes the third sister so much.

To be honest, although Yang Guozhong didn't have a deep impression of Zhang Xuan, he had a faint liking for him.There is no other reason, but because Zhang Xuan dared to scold his political opponent Li Linfu face to face, which made him feel very happy.

An Qingxu looked at Zhang Xuan curiously, but there was a trace of doubt in his heart: such a white-clothed scholar, even if he has some talents, would definitely not be so favored by the current noble concubine... But why...

Not long after An Qingxu came to Chang'an, Zhang Xuan's name was only slightly heard.It's just that I was a little surprised when I heard the dancer sing "Taizhen Fairy Fu" and knew that the young man in front of me was the author of this Fu.

"Brother Xuan, I'm here to introduce you. This is Yang Guozhong, the current Prime Minister, Minister of Rites, and a scholar of Jixian Palace." Yang Yuhuan smiled and waved his hands. The aroma spread in the air and rushed into Zhang Xuan's nostrils.

Zhang Xuan stood up and bowed to Yang Guozhong, "I've seen Mr. Yang."

Although Zhang Xuan's etiquette is in place, his demeanor is neither humble nor overbearing.Yang Guozhong smiled, and waved his hand casually, "Excuse me, the truth is, since you returned to Beijing, you, the little man of the Zhang family, has been known like a thunderbolt—"

"This is An Qingxu, the Jiedushi of the Three Towns and the second son of Dongping County Wang Anlushan." Yang Yuhuan turned his attention to An Qingxu again.

Zhang Xuan turned around and bowed his hands to An Qingxu, "I have met General An."

An Qingxu nodded arrogantly and reservedly in return.

Zhang Xuan sneered in his heart, but turned around and sat down indifferently.

……

……

Concubine Yang Guifei is his clan sister, Zhang Xuan is just a junior scholar, and An Qingxu is certainly An Lushan's son, but in his eyes, it is even more insignificant, so Yang Guozhong's words are a bit awkward after drinking for three rounds. Be unrestrained and unscrupulous.

And An Qingxu was even more obsequious, flattering Yang Yuhuan and Yang Guozhong again and again, trying his best to flatter him.

Zhang Xuan sat there silently, watching the boring farce in front of him, actually a little bored in his heart.It's just that no matter how displeased he is, he has no choice but to persevere to the end.

"Among the most capable ministers and generals in the world, there is only Yang Xiang alone. Wentao and Wulu, both loyal and brave, can be called the top beam of the Humerus of the Tang Dynasty..." An Qingxu raised his glass to invite Yang Guozhong to drink, "Young generals often listen to In terms of human beings, the emperor is wise and proficient in martial arts, and Yang Xiang governs the country and the world, and the Tang Dynasty will flourish for thousands of years."

Yang Guozhong laughed, raised his glass and responded, "The little general has been praised too much. The truth has been favored by the emperor and the empress, and he has dedicated himself to the great Tang society since he died..."

An Qingxu's intentional flattery did not really make Yang Guozhong take it seriously, because he was too jealous of An's father and son.Moreover, although Yang Guozhong is authoritarian and domineering, he is not superficial, and he will definitely not lose his head because of a few flattering words.

It's just that she wears thousands of clothes and flatters but doesn't wear clothes. Everyone is willing to listen to good words.

Yang Yuhuan frowned, her glamorous face seemed to be both angry and happy, and there was a glamorous brilliance in her eyes.She seemed to be tired of An Qingxu and Yang Guozhong's flirting with each other without much sincerity, so she turned her head and looked at Zhang Xuan, and said with a low smile, "Brother Xuan, relax, come, I will accompany you for a drink." .”

"Thank you, Ma'am." Zhang Xuan raised his glass to thank him, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"Zhang Xuan, I heard that your poems are very talented, how about singing a poem to praise Yang Xiangde's talent?" An Qingxu suddenly turned his head and waved to Zhang Xuan, "If you sing well, you will be the top three poets in the world." .”

Zhang Xuan frowned, and thought to himself that you are just flattering yourself, so what are you doing with me.However, even though he was dissatisfied, on this occasion, especially in front of Concubine Yang, he couldn't say anything.

It's okay to recite poems again, but this poem that flatters Yang Guozhong must never come from his mouth.If it spreads in the future, he will be bound together with Yang Guozhong, the traitor who is destined to be infamous forever.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan's expression remained unchanged, and he bowed his hands to Yang Guozhong, "It's his job to be loyal to the country and share the worries of the emperor. It's the duty of a minister. If you want to deliberately sing poems to praise, it's not beautiful, it's a loss." Yang Xiang's demeanor."

Yang Yuhuan smiled slightly, "Brother Xuan is right."

Seeing what the imperial concubine said, Yang Guozhong restrained his heart and pretended to be indifferent, "Of course. It is the duty of a minister to work tirelessly on the affairs of the state. Why do you need to sing poems to praise it? The praise of a loyal minister and good minister from the people of the world is enough in my heart."

Hearing Yang Guozhong's words, Yang Yuhuan smiled and said nothing, but Zhang Xuan almost burst out laughing in his heart—You, Yang Guozhong, still want future generations to give you the reputation of being a loyal minister and good minister?Idiots talk about dreams, and those who talk about dreams are idiots!

"Mr. Yang is a man of integrity, and the young general admires him. The young general will give Xiang Yang another cup." An Qingxu's flattery followed immediately.

……

……

Seeing that An Qingxu was so disgusting, Zhang Xuan's feeling of disgust grew stronger.He glanced at An Qingxu, his heart moved, and he suddenly said loudly, "Your Majesty, in fact, when we talk about the heroes and capable ministers and generals in this world, Zhang Xuan thinks that the King An is the only one."

As soon as Zhang Xuan said this, not only Yang Yuhuan was taken aback, Yang Guozhong frowned in displeasure, even An Qingxu, the son of An Lushan who was praised by him, was also very surprised.
