Chapter 321 The First Poet and the Four Talents

Seeing that the Censor of the Du and the Third Prince arrived together, the eunuchs did not dare to be arrogant. They all retreated quietly and left the disheveled Lord Yi in the same place.

When Yi Weiluo saw his superior, he tidied up his clothes and bowed with a grievance, "Prince, sir."

Wang Piyan said expressionlessly: "Whiluo, take out all your things on you and let the third prince see."

Qin Lin and Wang Piyan just now made a bet, and the voice was very small, but Yi Weiluo did not hear it. Hearing his elders say this, his handsome face turned into a pig's liver, and his teeth stumbled, saying, "Sir can be killed, but not humiliated. Lord, please tell me, how could the subordinates be such a kind of thief who crows and dogs?"

While watching the fun, the guards of the royal palace were about to make noise, but were stopped by Qin Lei. He only heard him speak in a righteous and solemn voice: "Don't mess around, the court ordered officials to be clean, how could you insult them?" This was a bit vague, and there was another meaning, if the official was unclean, he could of course be insulted.

But he neither entered the venue nor interrupted, so people were still focused on the three people in the venue. Then an official yelled: "Mr. Yi! Take it to the third master to show him to know that our censors are clean and tender."

Yi Weiluo and Wang Piyan looked in anger, but saw a group of officials closing their mouths and watching with dignity on the side. They could not find out who said strange things. The censor of the Censorate has always had a tense relationship with officials of the six ministries. At this time, someone said a few sarcastic words, which was really normal.

Wang Piyan felt like he was playing with a monkey. Of course he was a monkey, and he said very unhappy: "Wailuo, please show it to all of you. The censors of our Censorate are cleaner than ordinary people!"

Speaking of this, Yi Weiluo had no choice. No matter what the result was, it was a foregone conclusion to be shamed on New Year's Eve. His eyes were filled with tears, and he shouted silently: "Oh my God! Why don't you have eyes?" He took out a few pieces of white paper from his sleeves with trembling, and shook against the wind, and was actually blown out. Several eunuchs followed the wind to pick it up.

There was also a string of copper coins in the sleeve, a simple green handkerchief, a lake pen, and two sachets. There were no other items except that.

Wang Piyan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said proudly with an unconcealed face: "How is it? Third Master, are you willing to accept the loss, right?"

Qin Lin looked at Qin Lei in surprise, and saw Shi Gan next to him pointing to his chest in slightest conspicuously. He immediately understood it and said slowly: "Why is Gu looking at Lord Yi's chest bulging? Could it be that he is hiding something?"

At this time, in the middle of winter, we naturally cannot wear official uniforms alone. Powerful and wealthy officials will put on furs inside. Those who are shabby can only be replaced by cotton jackets. They will naturally be bulging when worn. The Censorate is the cleanest yamen. A fourth-rank censor cannot afford expensive furs. Therefore, no one doubts Yi Weiluo's chest.

Yi Weiluo had already made his promise and snorted coldly: "No, it's not, can it be transformed into something..." While reaching out to his arms and touching it, his face suddenly turned pale and he suddenly froze.

Seeing him like this, Wang Piyan trembled in his heart and did not dare to ask him to dig out without stopping. However, Qin Lin ignored this and stepped forward, holding Yi Weiluo's hand, and then heard a few jingles...

When everyone looked down, they saw a few pure white beads on the blue brick floor... which were so eye-catching. The smart eunuch screamed on the spot: "This is the beads inlaid on the screen wall of Zhongji Hall!"

The field was very quiet for a moment, and only Yi Weiluo's heavy breathing sound was heard. The face he looked at was already ashen, with blue veins on his forehead pounding, and anger was lit in his eyes. He suddenly understood in his heart that it must be one of the small eunuchs who secretly stuffed it into his arms while he was pushing it just now and deliberately framed it. Needless to ask, the initiator of all this must be the pretended vulgar Prince Longwei.

He suddenly turned around with resentment, but saw that the prince had disappeared in front of the king's car. There were only a few guards looking at the car, standing there with expressionless faces, silently mocking him.

Wang Piyan didn't know the retracement here, but only saw people and caught them. His face was so gloomy that it could drip out of water. He swung his sleeves and turned around and left. Everyone quickly separated and gave up the passage for him. He saw Lord Wang walking straight towards Chengtianmen, and even did not attend the old banquet.

Seeing Qin Lei leaving, Qin Lin knew that he didn't want to make things worse, so he put his hands into his sleeves, shrank his neck and said, "It's so cold, it's warm when I go back." As he said that, he also swayed away from the field and walked towards the hall.

When the officials saw that both adults had left, they looked at Yi Weiluo who was standing in a daze for a while and were ready to disperse. At this time, the little eunuch who went to pick the paper came back and came to an official who had not left, and smiled and said, "What is the writing on this, Mr. Lao, what is it? We are illiterate but curious."

The adult was also curious and tightly. When he took it, his eyes couldn't help but straighten. While savoring the words on the paper, he glanced at Yi Jingshi admired. The officials next to him were caught by his fuss. He couldn't help but turn around and approach the official, scrambling the words on the paper. After a while, he surrounded the official holding the letter paper three layers inside and outside, which shows how scarce entertainment was at this time.

Many officials who could not get along couldn't help but be anxious and shouted on the periphery: "It's better to have fun than to have fun alone. Read it out and listen, and everyone will have fun together."

There was a voice in the crowd and screamed: "This article looks comfortable, but I am afraid of tainting the ears of the adults, and it is inappropriate and inappropriate..." It immediately attracted a knowing smile in the circle.

The people on the outside were even more anxious and said, "Today is New Year's Eve. You can do whatever you want. The censor cannot participate. Let's talk quickly."

The people inside couldn't hold it in, so they shouted: "This is a small song," and then chanted loudly:

"You don't need to buy romantic affairs for a thousand dollars.

The moon moves and the flowers and shadows come to the jade man.

Tonight I've been hooked up with my lovesickness debt.

The infinite spring breeze is full of my heart.

Flower hearts are removed, traveling bees are collected,

The willow waist is swinging, and the dew is dripping with peonies.

One is half-suppressed and half-satisfied and loves it,

It's like the goddess of King Xiang goes to the balcony."

There was a roar like a wolf howl, and the official praised: "Mr. Yi is Yuan Zhen's rebirth." "I didn't expect that under the old-fashioned and mean face of Brother Weiluo, there was such a passionate and unrestrained love..." "I am really the number one poet in the Qin Dynasty!"

The little eunuchs chuckled in a low voice, "What does a slut mean? Why does it sound like a swearing?"

"No, Youdao is a literati and a poet, and a poet is a poet. It's too ignorant." An official pointed out seriously that the eunuchs quickly laughed and apologized, and the scene was very lively for a moment.

"Enough!" He heard a loud shout, which shocked everyone in the field.

The person who spoke was Lord Yi, who was awarded the title of "The No. 1 Poet of the Great Qin Dynasty", saw his face ferociously: "The clear one is clear, and the turbid one is turbid! I dug out my heart and showed it to you all, but there was a trace of dirt!" As he said that, he pulled the front of his official uniform hard, and then he jumped off a dozen beads from his jacket, with a very harsh sound.

When he swallowed and spitted, Yi Weiluo said with difficulty: "Shameless slander, sinister frame-up!" But he lost the heroic spirit that he was about to be opened just now.

At this time, several big guards came up and bowed, "Sir Yi, all the twenty-four Dinghai beads on the screen wall of Zhongji Hall have been stolen. Please go with us to see if they are the beads on you..."

The third brother entered the Tai Chi Hall and saw Qin Lei sitting at the second table on his right. He walked over and sat down, took the rice wine handed over by Qin Lei, and drank a glass while it was hot. Then he sighed comfortably and said softly: "What are you doing tossing that kid?"

Qin Lei played with the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "Who saw me messing around with him? I didn't get involved from beginning to end."

Qin Lin asked unexpectedly: "If you had kicked that kid to the ground and beat him up, but you wouldn't have teased him like this."

Qin Lei put down his wine glass, looked around the guests in the hall, and whispered: "If I had done it, it would be the same as the little censor's wishes." He said, "'Fifth Master is a bastard'. This has been spread in the officialdom. Do you think I don't know? If I hit him today, this kid will immediately become famous and become a Buddha. He is regarded as a 'tiger-beating hero' by his master. From then on, it is very likely that he will rise to the top."

Qin Lin didn't believe it very much and chuckled: "A bitter plan? Does this kid have such a scheming?"

Qin Lei shook his head gently and said, "You have to be careful." Feeling that he was too vague, he explained, "Wen Yanbo seems to be going to do something, I have to deal with it with all my strength. At this time, we cannot let the Censorate and their master jump out and cause trouble."

Qin Lin asked softly, "When do you think?" Qin Lei shook his head and signaled that it was inconvenient to discuss in detail at this time. Qin Lin had to suppress the questions in his heart and choose some happy topics with Qin Lei.

Both of them came early, and they picked up fruits and snacks on the table to eat while chatting. Gradually, there were more people in the hall and senior officials began to arrive.

Qin Lei asked softly: "Why didn't you see the boss this year when you worship your ancestors? You don't fight in winter, why didn't he come back?"

Qin Lin lowered his head and said softly: "Since he had a falling out with his father a few years ago, his deaf has always rushed back to Beijing on the night of thirty, just to avoid worshiping ancestors."

Qin Lei curled his lips and said with a smile: "Why do you have to..." but he didn't say anything else.

The number of purple robes in the hall gradually increased, and Qu Yanwu was alone. He saluted Qin Lei and sat next to a table where he was taking action. All the officials knew about his conflicts with the Prime Minister's Mansion, so they dared not be in the same line as him. They all accused them of guilt, either in a hurry or visiting friends. His table suddenly came to a space, which was very eye-catching in the almost full hall.

Qin Lei nodded to Qu Yanwu and signaled him to sit beside him. Qu Yanwu smiled and said, "That's even more shameless." He refused the prince's kindness and drank it alone.

It was ninety-nine percent before everyone in the hall was late, Wen Yantao came with Wen Mingli. The two of them greeted the officials with a smile on their faces, and walked into the hall. They saw Qin Lei's nightmarish face at a glance. They couldn't help but fight together, and they had the urge to turn around and run away.

But the allusion of "The Fifth Prince waving his sleeves to retreat to the Prime Minister" has spread all over the world, but today the two cannot retreat again, otherwise the stigma of "escaping from the wind" will be added to the Wen family again. The two plucked up the courage to walk towards Qin Lei's table... Whose idea was, they were arranged to sit with Qin Lei.

The hall suddenly became quiet. The lords stared at the scene in a row, wanting to see whether the second article was seeking back the face or the fifth prince was strong to the end.

Feeling that all the eyes in the hall were gathering on him, Wen Mingli muttered in a low voice: "Uncle Second, will he hit us?"

Wen Yantao was solemn, his face was solemn, but he whispered: "No, it's the New Year..." After saying this, the two of them felt even more assured. Looking at Qin Lei, he supported the table with one elbow, half leaned against the table, and held the wine glass with the other hand, his eyes slightly opened and closed, and he looked at the two with a smile, but the wolves-like creepy eyes did not have any kindness.

The two of them shivered again, their hearts as if they were pounding, and their legs were as heavy as lead. When they arrived beside Qu Yanwu, Wen Yantao suddenly said with surprise: "Mr. Tuo, when did you return to Beijing?" After that, he sat down next to him, took Qu Yanwu's hand and said to Wen Mingli: "Mr. Tuo is my old commander back then. Mingli has come and met him."

Wen Mingli immediately sat on the other side of Qu Yanwu with a respectful look on his face and worshiped, "I heard from my second uncle that Mr. Kuo is a handsome old man. Today, he saw that he is indeed well-known and makes the students admire him." The two of them said and said to Mr. Kuo as Mr. Zhou, which made the people around him laugh secretly. They thought to themselves that these two people were looking for a step down.

After being entangled by the two of them inexplicably, Qu Yanwu could only shake his head and smile bitterly. More than ten years ago, he served as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. At that time, Wen Yantao first entered the officialdom and served as a minister of the Ministry of Rites. He was indeed his old subordinate. However, Qu Yanwu soon went out to be the governor. The two said that they were different and did not plan to each other. They had not contacted each other for more than ten years, so how could they be so close? If it weren't for avoiding the prince's sharpness, Wen Yantao would probably have pretended not to know him...

Qin Lei was so bored when he saw the two of them doing this. He was about to take back his eyes, but he saw another pair of uncles and nephews coming together - Li Qing, the two commanders of the Tiance Army, and Li Erhe.

Qin Lei chuckled and said, "These two families are very interesting. The big dogs and puppies lead the way together, but they don't know how the two old dogs will appear."

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Let's take a look."

Li Qing and Li Erhe were not as afraid of Qin Lei as the uncle and nephew of the Wen family. They strode to the second table on the left, and looked down at the Qin brothers in the aisle. Qin Lin was so stared so hard that he had to pretend to lower his head and pick up food, avoiding the two of them.

Qin Lei was so excited that he couldn't stand it and cursed softly: "You third brother, why did you escape in the battle?" Qin Lin smiled bitterly: "Your eyes are sore and crying after a while. Can't people think I'm being seen crying, right?"

Qin Lei was not good at being arrogant about these two people. Everyone was disagreeing, and it didn't matter if they fought each other, but if they couldn't beat them, they would be beaten up. The three of them looked at each other like two fools until they sang outside the hall: "Your Highness the Prince of Great Qin is here, Your Highness the Prince of Great Qin is here, Your Highness the Prince of Great Qin is here, Your Highness the Grand Tutor, Your Highness the Prince of Great Qin is here, Your Highness the Grand Tutor, Your Highness Cheng is here, Your Highness the Left Prime Minister of Great Qin is here..." The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, moved their eyes to the door, and snarled hard... Just to relax, they did not want to wink at anyone.

With so many titles, only four people came in.

I saw the old white-haired lieutenant, accompanied by the majestic Historical Highness; the gentle and elegant prince, accompanied by the elegant Prime Minister Wen, stepped into the hall side by side, regardless of order.

Looking at the four people walking side by side, a picture appeared in Qin Lei's mind for no reason, and he couldn't help but chuckled: "Four talents..." Qin Lin was about to dig the bottom of the matter, but Qin Lei just shook his head and said nothing.

The four big men walked side by side to the imperial stairs, then separated from each other and sat down at the top table. Li Hun and the eldest prince sat first on the left, and the prince and Wen Yanbo sat first on the right.

Seeing that the four people finally arrived, the pleasant yellow bell rang, and the musicians played the Qin King's banquet music. After a prelude, they heard a sharp singing voice: "His Majesty the Emperor of Qin is here..."

Everyone stood up and knelt to welcome His Majesty Zhaowu.
