Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

Everyone was a little bit unbelievable at this moment. The works Li Chengyuan wrote today were already amazing enough.

He is still not satisfied?

What kind of work would satisfy him?

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Li Chengyuan finally put pen to paper.

As soon as he finished writing the first sentence, everyone present held their breath, widened their eyes, and gasped!

Written on the paper were the words: "When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the sky!"

Chapter 34 Emperor Qing's exclamation! Li Chengyuan's method of succession!

If nothing unexpected happens, today's poetry banquet at Prince Li's Mansion should be the most lively event in Qing Kingdom this year!

Not only the literati and poets from all over Kyoto, but also the civil and military officials in the court were paying attention to this grand event!

Because this poetry gathering was not just a poetry gathering, it was also the first banquet held at the palace after the Third Prince Li Chengyuan was crowned king.

Li Chengyuan's abilities, talents and strength will all be revealed at this banquet.

By then, all the officials in the court will naturally have the answer as to whether Li Chengyuan is a real hidden dragon or a fake dragon.

So at today's poetry gathering, many young masters and young ladies were invited even though they clearly had no talent.

This is because they represent officials from various departments in the court.

If Li Chengyuan performs well, he can use the connections accumulated through this poetry meeting to win over the ministers in the court and rapidly increase his strength.

That's why Li Chengze was so angry when Xie Bian lost today.

Because Li Chengyuan gained his own fame by stepping on his face today!

...

Today, every move of Prince Li’s Mansion has touched the nerves of countless people.

Emperor Qing is no exception.

As soon as Emperor Qing had breakfast in the morning, he asked Eunuch Hou to keep an eye on the affairs of Prince Li's Mansion.

Asked to report any situation at any time.

The first thing Eunuch Hou reported was the "dispute" outside Shih Hsin Gate.

After hearing this, Emperor Qing's expression changed slightly. He obviously didn't expect that Li Chengze would actually confront Li Chengyuan.

This is somewhat disadvantageous to his plan!

However, Emperor Qing didn't say anything, but just asked Eunuch Hou to continue paying attention!

Afterwards, regarding the poetry works written in the morning, Eunuch Hou found a few pretty good works for Emperor Qing, but Emperor Qing just glanced at them and threw them aside, obviously not interested.

It was not until noon that Li Chengyuan took the initiative to "provoke" Li Chengze and asked the maid beside him to challenge Xie Bian. This aroused Emperor Qing's interest.

When he heard that Qingniao defeated Xie Bian with one move, Emperor Qing's expression was moved for the first time.

"You mean, the maid beside Li Chengyuan is a ninth-rank master?" Emperor Qing asked Eunuch Hou in surprise.

Eunuch Hou bowed and reported: "Your Majesty, the secret memorial did not mention the ninth rank!"

"Xie Bian is at the peak of the eighth rank, and that Blue Bird was able to defeat Xie Bian with one move, so I think she must be at the ninth rank! What's the background of this maid?"

"Your Majesty, according to the intelligence submitted by the Inspection Office, this Blue Bird is also from a prominent family. Her father was the Spear Immortal Wang Xiu, who was later murdered, leaving her an orphan. A few years ago, Your Highness encountered her while sneaking out of the palace, and they became friends.

Later, Qingniao wandered around the capital until the Third Prince was crowned king. Then she rushed to the capital overnight and took refuge with the Third Prince!

"Spear Immortal Wang Xiu?" Emperor Qing thought for a moment and nodded, "I know him. I never thought this Blue Bird would be his daughter. No wonder. Haha, Li Chengyuan is truly blessed!"

Eunuch Hou laughed and said, "The Third Prince is indeed able to please girls. He even wrote a poem for the Blue Bird. It is said that someone offered 10,000 taels on the spot to buy the original manuscript written by the Third Prince, but was rejected by the Blue Bird!"

Emperor Qing was surprised.

"Oh? Ten thousand taels? What poem?"

"Your Majesty, please take a look!" Eunuch Hou handed the copied poem to Emperor Qing.

This time it is a transcript, not the original manuscript.

After all, the original manuscript is in the hands of Qingniao, and the Inspection Institute cannot get it.

"The shimmering water is most beautiful on a sunny day, the misty mountains are even more wondrous when it rains. To compare Qinghu to Qingnv, light or heavy makeup always suits her. What a fine poem!" After reading it, Emperor Qing exclaimed in praise, "Excellent, truly excellent! Qinghu has been named for so many years, yet no poem has been able to capture its beauty. This has always been my regret. I never expected that the Third Prince would write one. Well done! Eunuch Hou!"

"The old slave is here!"

Emperor Qing ordered: "Send someone to erect a monument beside Qing Lake and write this poem on it.

Then ask the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion to write a biography about the allusion of this poem and engrave it on the back! "

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Hou exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, Your Majesty, if that's the case, Miss Bluebird will truly be remembered in history!"

"Well, her father once helped the Qing Kingdom and was considered a meritorious official. Qingniao is his daughter, so it's only right that he gives her some gifts!"

"Your Majesty is truly gracious! I will give the order immediately!"

......

After this incident, the poetry competition continued in the afternoon, and Emperor Qing fell asleep again.

It was not until Li Chengyuan wrote ten poems in a row that Emperor Qing became energetic again.

Looking at the ten poems on the table, Emperor Qing couldn't put them down.

Although he had reservations about Li Chengyuan's identity, Emperor Qing had to admit that his third son was truly talented.

Unfortunately, if he was really the prince's brother, Emperor Qing really wouldn't mind giving him a chance.

It’s a pity that he is not!

.....

Emperor Qing read the ten poems several times in a row.

Just when he thought the poetry reading was about to end.

As a result, Eunuch Hou gave him Li Chengyuan's most valuable work.

Upon hearing that this was Li Chengyuan's most proud poem, Emperor Qing immediately began to read it carefully.

However, upon seeing it, Emperor Qing was fascinated.

"When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky with your wine. I don't know what year it is in the palace in the sky. I want to ride the wind back, but I am afraid that it will be too cold in the beautiful buildings and jade palaces. When I dance to clear the shadows, it seems like I am in the human world.

Turn to the Zhu Pavilion, look down at the Qihu, and the light will make you sleepless. There shouldn't be any hatred, so what's the point of saying goodbye? People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon waxes and wanes. This is a difficult thing in ancient times. Nung, moon and new moon. "

After reading this poem, Emperor Qing was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally raised his head and, with a determined look in his eyes, instructed Eunuch Hou, "Order to publish the twelve poems written by Li Chengyuan in tomorrow's newspaper. Tomorrow's newspaper will still be available in unlimited quantities!"

"I obey your order!" Eunuch Hou hurriedly accepted the order and left in small steps.

After Eunuch Hou left, Emperor Qing turned around again and looked at the poem in his hand.

After a long time, a long sigh suddenly came from the bedroom.

......

Deep inside the Inspection Institute.

Chen Pingping looked at Fan Jian in front of him and said helplessly, "I say, you've been staying here all day. Now that the poetry gathering is over, shouldn't you leave?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Jian curled his lips and said, "Humph, if you weren't so fast at getting news, do you think I would be willing to stay here with you?"

"Yes, yes, you are the noble Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and I am just an ordinary dean. You are awesome, okay?"

"Hmph! Okay, I'm not going to waste my time on you. Let me ask you something. Do you think Cheng Yuan has a chance?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Pingping looked at Fan Jian and said in a gloomy voice, "What do you think? You've been studying history books intensively since childhood. Let me ask you, which talented prince have you met who later became emperor?"

When Fan Jian heard this, he stopped talking immediately.

Although Chen Pingping's question is a bit of a generalization, it is enough to illustrate some problems.

Throughout history, any prince who was talented often ended up in a bad way.

Because in the fight for the throne, political skills and strategies are often more important than talent.

However, those talented princes often focus too much on their talents and neglect political skills, so they easily fail in the power struggle.

And Li Chengyuan is now such a talented prince.

Unfortunately, his rivals, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, are both scheming people.

It would be extremely difficult for Li Chengyuan to snatch the throne from these two people.

So even though Chen Pingping didn't say it explicitly, he actually gave his answer.

In particular, Chen Pingping knows Emperor Qing very well.

So he knew that as long as Emperor Qing was not dead, Li Chengyuan would have no chance of succeeding to the throne!

On the contrary, if you want Li Chengyuan to become emperor, there is only one way to go...

Chapter 35: Li Chengze is helpless and defenseless! The bluebird cries for the first time!

In the evening, at Prince Li’s Mansion.

The poetry reading is over.

But everyone was reluctant to leave.

Many people still couldn't hide the shock on their faces.

The poem "When Will the Bright Moon Rise" just now really gave the literati and poets present a shocking feeling that touched their hearts directly!

There is a saying that goes, if you don’t write poetry, seeing this poem is like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky!

If you write poetry, seeing this poem is like a floating particle seeing the blue sky!

Only true writers know how powerful Li Chengyuan’s poem is!

Therefore, everyone present had a heartfelt respect for Li Chengyuan.

Including the Crown Prince and Li Chengze.

At least in terms of talent, both of them were convinced by Li Chengyuan.

The prince even wanted to buy Li Chengyuan's original manuscript of "When Will the Bright Moon Rise", but was rejected by Li Chengyuan before the prince could even name a price.
