An open gathering of literati.
All the people here are young people. Li Po is considered old here, so it’s no wonder Yan Liben said he is the eldest.
Young people are very energetic and their talents are immeasurable, but the works hanging on the walls can prove that some of them have no problem with their talents.
Most of them have official positions, and their future depends on their circumstances.
In particular, talent and knowledge are two different things. Some people are very talented, but their talent is a mess.
Of course, as far as the world is concerned, the boundary between the two is not as clear as it was later. People with knowledge often have a much smoother career than others. After all, there are only a few people who are educated. If you have talent and learning, you will be appreciated easily.
The origins of the young people are various, but most of them are members of the Chang'an family. Their performance is also in line with expectations. No matter who becomes the emperor, they can find their own place under his rule. This is determined by the characteristics of the nobles of the time.
It is independent of human will.
And precisely because they are still young and in the initial stages of their official career, there are not many Yan brothers who have been in the officialdom for many years at such a young age.
People who came out of Prince Qin's palace had a bright future. When Li Shimin ascended the throne, their career would have made a big leap. Unfortunately, they were cut off by Li Po out of thin air. It would be unreasonable to think that it would be so smooth.
It's possible.
After all, Li Po has gathered a large number of talents around him, and it will take a lot of effort for those who come later to join. Without the skill of following the dragon, many people may not be able to reach the emperor in their lifetime.
This trip allowed Li Po to truly experience the atmosphere of interaction between literati. The atmosphere was relaxed and soothing. There were no quarrels, and no one was competitive and provoked trouble.
A kind of state of mind that is difficult to describe in detail, with the faint fragrance of ink, making people feel happy and peaceful. Maybe this is the elegant state pursued by the literati of the world?
It is completely different from the scenes in the book of tit-for-tat, sarcasm, competition, and resolving personal grievances. The young people look gentle, polite, generous and tolerant, and their aristocratic atmosphere is covered up by the fragrance of books.
It's just that the ending is a little unsatisfactory.
Wu Yuanshuang stuck to Li Po's side and took Dr. Zhao's place. He explained this to him diligently and commented on that. However, he lacked knowledge and was full of mistakes and omissions, which was very annoying.
After walking around in the hall, academy professor Li Shousu, the nominal convener of this gathering, came down from upstairs with a few people.
There was a bald man in there who was particularly conspicuous. Shangguan Yi had sneaked upstairs at some point. As he was going downstairs, the young literary monk was talking in a low voice to Yan Qinli.
Yang Sina, the newly appointed academy professor, arrived just at noon. He took it upon himself to take his aunt's daughters home and asked his father to talk to them. He was worried about something.
Brother Yan Lide was also there, bickering as they walked.
These people are the cream of the crop in this cultural gathering. They include the grandsons of Yu Zhongwen, the former Youyiwei general of the Sui Dynasty, and the children of the Yao Cha family, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Sui Dynasty. Their family backgrounds are all very prominent.
As soon as they appeared, they immediately became the focus of everyone in the hall. Watching them descending the stairs, Wu Yuanshuang, who was following Li Po, suddenly turned blue with envy.
"If something like this happens one day...it will be a worthwhile life. Are you familiar with them, brother? If you don't recognize them, I can introduce them to you."
The two sons of the warrior Xun were both born after he became rich. They were well clothed and well-fed since they were young. They also found some famous teachers to teach them and put in a lot of effort. However, the family background was not enough. It was still difficult for the two sons to learn everything they could.
Get rid of the business atmosphere.
Wu Erlang, in particular, was very frivolous in his speech and behavior. He spoke big words and always acted like a well-read man, which was very ugly in Li Po's eyes.
Thinking about it, I met Samurai Yu only at noon and his unlucky son in the afternoon. It was really fate. I wonder if Samurai Yu would be frightened to death if he knew about it.
There was no need for an introduction, he knew it was time to leave.
At this time, Yan Xiangshi was among the crowd and was looking nervously down. He soon found Li Po and met Li Po's eyes. He was shocked and almost missed his step and fell down the stairs.
He had met the emperor before, although he had only seen it from a distance, but his brother had told him that Concubine Ashina had a very special appearance.
He felt something was wrong when he heard Yan Liben talk about it just now. At this time, he no longer had any doubts. The emperor brought his concubine here and hung around for an unknown amount of time. He did not know if he was offended by anyone.
Then he thought that Li Shousu had invited many old friends to come. If this made the emperor think that they had some agenda... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tremble.
Li Po also saw Yan Xiangshi, but he didn't recognize who he was, but he knew he recognized him by looking at his appearance, so he nodded and smiled slightly, turned around and left with Ashina Rongzhen.
Wu Yuanshuang didn't know why, but he didn't want to lose this opportunity to climb up to the noble man, so he followed him with all his heart, not even caring about his friends.
That's right, Li Po didn't show much prominence, but he had risen to the level of a nobleman in Wu Yuanshuang's mind. Speaking of which, Shangzi's vision was pretty good.
Straight out of the inner hall, the temperature dropped a lot. Li Po couldn't help but shudder. Ashina Zhen quickly came up and put his cloak on him.
Wu Yuanshuang was filled with envy again, wondering if after returning, he asked his father to buy some female slaves from the Western Regions. Then he thought that his stepmother was now in charge of the family, and she would definitely not agree. He became very angry, and thought that he should marry his eldest brother in the future.
Work harder and drive the person away as quickly as possible.
Li Po turned around to see him following him out. He was very annoyed. He thought to himself that this guy wanted to follow me back to the palace. He was really seeking death.
But he was in a good mood and didn't want to get into any more trouble with this guy, so he said with a straight face: "I just met your father at noon. Go back and tell him a message."
Wu Yuanshuang was stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed, "Brother, you actually recognize my father, why didn't you tell me earlier? Otherwise..."
This guy really can't tell the difference between his eyebrows and his eyes. His evaluation of the samurai Yu should be lowered. He has no way to teach his son. Xu will be implicated by his son one day.
"Let him teach his son to read more and stop showing off outside. If he loses his life one day, he will be the next best thing. It will only take a moment to confiscate the house and destroy the family."
Wu Yuanshuang froze there and wanted to say something, but he was grabbed by Ashina Rongzhen and thrown to the ground. He was in a good position and was kicked by the way. He suddenly bent into a shrimp without even making a sound.
Out.
He vaguely heard, "This man lies too much. I wish he could..."
"Being able to endure the fists and kicks of the noble concubine is a blessing that he has cultivated in several lifetimes. He has gone away. When he went out, he met a few idiots who made me look like a foolish king. It seems that he should bring more with him when he comes out in the future.
