It coincides with Mid-Autumn Festival Eve.
It coincides with a grand Mid-Autumn Festival.
But there is no moon today.
And rain!
But this did not stop the enthusiasm of those young people in Kyoto.
Scholars of course want to see Li Chenan's demeanor, to see if the Ningguo youth headed by Li Chenan can defeat the well-prepared Yueguo youth.
The name Li Chenan is now widely known in the capital, but not many people have actually met Li Chenan.
It is said that he almost stayed in Huaxi Bieyuan, and he had never even been to Taiyuan Academy, let alone roaming the streets and alleys of Kyoto.
Even if there are occasional trips, they are all in the carriage, and the one who drives the carriage is the former general who killed the gods in Dingguohoufu!
Therefore, regarding Li Chenan and his matter, we can only listen to the rumors in the market.
The things that are circulated in the market are folk stories.
The story is true or false, and it also has a legendary color, so naturally it cannot truly reflect Li Chenan's appearance.
But tonight, in the literary world, you can see his true face, and you can know how talented he is——
He was only seventeen, but what he was facing was an outstanding disciple personally trained by Wei Xuanmo, the great scholar of the Yue Kingdom who was nearly seventy!
I heard that the books he studied in Guangling City... the books don't seem to be very good, after all, he doesn't even have the reputation of a scholar.
It is said that he gave up studying and opened a snack shop in an alley called Erjinggou, but it closed down again.
It is said that he was kicked out of the house by the Li family in Guangling.
But I heard that he opened a tavern in the alley of Erjinggou again.
Then, when I met Master Hua, I became a different person and wrote beautiful poems.
Those poems have been spread in the capital, and they will even be kept in the authoritative masterpiece "Ning Poetry Collection Yuan Baipian"!
He was originally an unknown soldier in Guangling City, but he was favored by the third lady of Zhongli Mansion.
He should have lived in Guangling City in his life, but now he is in the capital.
He had nothing to do in the capital, but he happened to be the one the prime minister wanted to get rid of!
Being able to become the enemy of the powerful Ji Xiang... This is even more unbelievable.
Because one is the sky and the other is a weed on the ground.
One is a big tree, and the other is... a mayfly!
The wild grass is far away from the sky.
Even the mayfly can't shake the tree.
This is an unbelievable story.
Stories like this usually happen in drama.
But now it's happening in Kyoto!
For those scholars and literati, they certainly hope that Li Chenan, a weed, can pierce the sky, and they also hope that Li Chenan, a mayfly, can shake that deep-rooted tree.
After all, Prime Minister Ji is evil in the hearts of the common people!
It is the root cause of Ning people's desperation today!
So this evening, many students were waiting in front of the archway in Huaxi Bieyuan.
When An Zizai drove the carriage out of the archway, there were many teenagers following behind the carriage!
Some people are holding umbrellas, while others are just getting drenched with their heads bare.
Their enthusiasm was still high, and they were not affected by the cool autumn rain at all.
An Zizai did not drive these teenagers away, so the speed of the carriage was very slow.
There were many voices in his ears
"Do you think Li Chen'an is sitting in this carriage?"
"It must be, the one who didn't see the driver is General An!"
"I heard that our Taiyuan College sent a total of sixteen people to participate in this literary meeting. After knowing the list, Prime Minister Ji summoned Boss Qian... It was Qian Changqing, one of the five judges of this literary meeting. my lord."
"There are rumors in the Taiyuan Academy that these sixteen students may or may not write a poem at this essay meeting!"
The teenagers who heard this were obviously taken aback. An Zizai followed the sound and turned her head forward, and heard someone from the group of teenagers ask again.
"Isn't this cheating?"
"Of course this is cheating!"
"Ji Tai did this... isn't it just to let Li Chenan die?"
"That's not it, so, so I thought that Li Chen'an should be dissuaded, don't go to that literary meeting!"
"Boss Qian and Confucianism will be bought by Ji Tai? What about the literati's strength of character? What about Zhijie? The sixteen students... Will they be forced to shut up due to lust? Will they bow their heads to power?"
"Whoa, if this is true, Ningguo... I'll go to the fucking Ningguo!"
"The most important thing now is to prevent Li Chen'an from going to the literary world!"
"Yes, stop his carriage! I can't wait to see him die in vain!"
The crowd gathered around.
An Zizai stopped the carriage.
Then he lifted the curtain of the carriage, and the carriage was empty... It's not right, there were ten dark artifacts under the seat of the carriage, and Li Chen'an was not in this carriage!
...
...
A carriage drove out of the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.
The driver is Xiao Wu!
There were two people sitting in the carriage.
One is Yin Xiangdong of Jingzhao Mansion, and the other is actually Li Chen'an!
Xiangdong kept looking at Li Chenan.
In fact, he had already seen Li Chenan when they met in the backyard of the yamen.
But he is still watching.
There was a dead wind lantern hanging in the carriage, and the light swayed a little with the bumps of the carriage, so Li Chenan's appearance seemed a little blurred in Xiangdong's eyes.
"Master Xiang, does Xiaosheng have flowers on his face?"
Xiang Dong smiled slightly, "Not really."
"Then what are you looking at?"
"After all, you are the grandson of your teacher. After all, I have been curious about you for so long. After all, I can't help but want to see more clearly."
Li Chenan raised his eyebrows, "I didn't expect you to be a member of His Royal Highness, but I want to ask you alone."
"who?"
"My second uncle Li Wenhou...what kind of person is he?"
"..." Xiangdong looked away, pondered for a moment, but did not comment on Li Wenhou, but said, "Your second aunt was once your second uncle and my junior sister."
"They all studied under your grandfather's seat. Your second aunt's talent is actually extremely high. If she hadn't been a daughter, she would have been named on the gold list in the third year of Zhaohua."
Li Chenan didn't expect that his second aunt, whom he had never met, was still a talented woman, but he also had no intention of going to the House of Ministers of the Household Department.
After all, it is still too strange.
Xiang Dong seemed reluctant to talk about Li Wenhou, so he changed the subject
"Since His Royal Highness also values you, this is an excellent opportunity."
"It's just..." Xiang Dong leaned over, his face became serious, "It's just that tonight, can you really beat those youths from Yue Kingdom?"
"I'm not fighting alone, don't there be students from Tai Academy?"
"But what if you can only fight alone?"
Li Chen'an was slightly taken aback, "Su Muxin, Yang Yulin, Tang Gan, Qi Zhixue, the four great talents in Kyoto and I have all drank together. They will always stand by my side, right?"
"But they have already passed the Jinshi examination, and they are no longer students of the Taiyuan Academy, which is inconsistent with the rules of participating in the literary society!"
It was only then that Li Chen'an realized how great Ji Tai's influence was, because the original rules were not like this.
"There is still half an hour before we go to the literary world, you change your mind now... I can send you out of the city right now!"
Li Chenan suddenly smiled and waved his hand
"Ning Ming dies, but lives without silence."
"Go to... the literary world!"
Happy New Year to all book lovers!
