As soon as Zhang Juling and Yang Ruol arrived at Prince Yu's mansion, they were led to the main hall by the servant guarding the gate.
There are four princes in the priest today.
The ones who are interested in are Prince Yu Zhu Gaodong and Prince Ling Zhu Gaozhi.
They are two princes personally conferred by the emperor.
Prince Yu Zhu Gaodong - is the eldest son of the current emperor and the queen.
Prince Ling Zhu Gaozhi is the son of the wise concubine who has favored him in recent years.
Zhu Gaodong is average in talent, but he is rarely steady in character. He knows the overall situation and is all an alien among the royal family.
In addition, his legitimate uncle is Qin Qingyun, the general of Zhenbei who holds military power... There are these rigid factors.
Therefore, compared with Zhu Gaozhi, the third son of the emperor who is full of knowledge and has a great advantage.
Even if the prince of this dynasty has the idea that he is superior to his wise men, Zhu Gaodong will be the best candidate for the prince.
However, the truth that military power is higher than imperial power is the priest who is just in power. It is precisely because of this that the determination to make who is the crown prince has not been made.
In his philosophy, the Zhu family's country can surpass everything...it must last forever.
"Shuzhi, Prince Ling has also come to the banquet. He and Prince Yu have always been incompatible..." Yang Ruo and Zhang Juling whispered while walking, "Most of the people coming here today are royal nobles and powerful officials in the court, such as Wang Zhiyuan, the eldest prince of the Marquis of Dingyuan, Xu Pei, the young marquis of Yongkang, Yan Liang, the chief minister of the cabinet, Huang Ke, the second-level minister of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Ming, Tanhua Lin Hairong, my father, your grandfather Gu Lin, etc...." When he said that Gu Linshi, Gu Han's clear face appeared in his mind, and he smiled a little shyly... The peach blossom eyes darkened, and he really wanted to give himself a big ear.
She is already married and is the wife of a good friend, so why can he keep thinking about it?
However, human beings themselves are contradictory and strange complex species.
The more you suppress yourself from thinking and forgetting... the emotions in your heart will become more intense and your memories will be clearer.
"Um?"
Zhang Juling looked up at Yang Ruo.
Why did he stop halfway through the words?
“It’s roughly that.”
Yang Ruo turned his head, his expression a little stiff: "These people are divided into three factions, Prince Yu, Prince Ling and the Centre.
The centrist, also known as the royalist, is only loyal to the saints.
You are the new top scholar and have just entered the officialdom. I will say a few more words to you... After entering later, there will definitely be many people who will talk to you, and you will have some idea when you reply."
It was rare for him to help him like this, Zhang Juling bowed to Yang Ruo: "Thank you for your tips, I've recorded them all."
Yang Ruo has a good family background and is talented since childhood. He has been developing his true nature and unrestrained personality.
"Well, are you kind to me?"
Yang Ruo smiled and took Zhang Juling's shoulder.
Zhang Juling looked at his arm and walked straight forward, not bounced away for the first time.
As the residence of the just prince, the Yu Mansion is naturally decorated with gorgeous, exquisite and extremely royal style.
During this period, pavilions, terraces, pavilions and pavilions are intertwined, and the architectural layout is divided into three roads, east, middle and west. Each road is equipped with a multi-entry courtyard house according to the central axis from south to north.
Red walls, green glazed tiles.
Rich and majestic.
King Yu held a banquet in the Yunyang Hall on the middle road. There were many pine and cypress planted in the courtyard, green and tall, tall and towering.
It feels quite quiet.
Zhang Juling and Yang Ruo arrived at Yunyang Palace and found a seat to sit down.
As the sky was getting late, all walks of life came one after another, and the banquet was very lively.
The candlelight shines, the sound of silk and bamboo, and the toasts are staggered.
Flowers are clustered in various colors.
And there are the beautiful and young maids who shuttle around... the scene is so luxurious.
After Wang Zhiyuan came in, he greeted his acquaintance and sat next to Yang Ruo.
"Criminal, are you late?"
Yang Ruo shook the wine glass in his hand and said to Wang Zhiyuan: "Why haven't you seen the second prince?"
"Tell me what he did."
Wang Zhiyuan was angry when he thought of Wang Zhiming's untuning look. He filled up with a glass of wine and touched Yang Ruo. Zhang Juling and drank it all. "Prince Yu has not arrived yet, so I'm not too late."
“That’s true.”
Yang Ruo laughed: "You are right."
Gu Lin came with Huang Ke and sat to the designated position in the lower right corner of King Yu.
The dishes were put up one by one, and Zhang Juling held the wine glass to observe the guests this time.
The position on the main seat is empty, so you don’t have to think that it is Prince Yu’s.
The lower right head is almost full.
There are two empty positions next to Prince Yu in the lower left. One of them must be Prince Ling Zhu Gaozhi, and what about the other one?
He looked around and found that Yan Liang had not arrived yet.
With Yan Liang's current position in the court, he is the one who ranks under Prince Ling.
“…What are you looking at?”
Yang Ruo took a bite of the pepper and salted snowflake crisp, leaving a fragrance on his lips and teeth: "Not to say, the desserts in Prince Yu's mansion are really good."
"I didn't see anything."
Zhang Juling returned to Yang Ruo and brought the apple tower in front of him to him, "You eat it."
"Thank you, the top scholar."
Yang Ruo stared at the thin slices of apples dripping from honey, and her peach blossom eyes turned into crescent moons.
The second-level Xu Ming and Tanhua Lin Hairong also came over to say hello to Zhang Juling.
The three of them sat at the same table to have dinner while attending the Enrong Banquet.
Zhang Juling smiled and said a few politely.
They are all handsome men at the age of time, the first place in the new class, the second place, and the three of them stand together, smiling, like a beautiful scenery.
Many people looked over.
It doesn’t matter to Zhang Juling. He has been seen too much and has gotten used to it.
Xu Ming was younger, only seventeen years old, and his round baby face soon turned red.
Yang Ruo glanced at Xu Ming and always felt that he was very familiar with him, but he really couldn't remember where he had seen him. He asked, "Xu Bangyan, where is your ancestral home?"
As the third generation, Yang Ruo was almost a mythical existence in the eyes of scholars.
When Xu Ming saw him, he began to stutter when he spoke: "I'm down... I'm down from Jiangnan..."
"ah."
Yang Ruo didn't expect that he would have such a big reaction. Maybe he asked too directly and scared others... He coughed and said, "It's okay."
Xu Ming is from Jiangnan, but he is a native of Kyoto. Except for following his father to Jingzhou once... he probably recognized the wrong person.
"No, no..." Xu Ming waved his hands repeatedly, so excited that he didn't know what to say.
Tanhua Lin Hairong patted Xu Ming's shoulders as comforted as he patted him.
He was the oldest among the three, and was over thirty years old.
He is burly and has a beard on his face.
He had a very good look in a military general, but he wrote a good article.
He was also excited when he saw Yang Ruo, but he was not as ruthless as Xu Ming.
When Xu Ming's little episode passed, a sharp voice came from outside the hall: "Prince Yu is here."
Everyone who was drinking put down their wine glasses and stood up to salute.
Prince Yu was surrounded by Prince Ling, Yan Liang and others, and waved his hand and smiled, "Everyone is free, please sit down."
Everyone should be "yes" and waited until he took his seat before sitting down.
Prince Ling and Yan Liang indeed sat in the blank position in the lower left corner.
Zhang Juling narrowed his starry eyes, then lowered his head and took a sip of wine, but heard Prince Yu’s voice: “This year’s No. 1 pick, second-place, where is Tanhua?”
On the day of Enrong Banquet, he was absent from something and had not spoken to the three of them yet.
Zhang Juling paused, stood up and went forward to Xu Ming and Lin Hairong, and knelt down to pay homage to Prince Yu.
"You all get up."
Zhu Gaodong looked at the three of them for a while, smiled and said, "...Don't be restrained when you come to Prince Yu's Mansion."
He has a Chinese-shaped face, a well-shaped appearance, and a slightly fat figure that makes him look particularly friendly.
After thanking the three people, led by Zhang Juling, stood aside.
"Zhang Juling, I have read the article on water control in your palace examination. It is well written, and many of them are good strategies.
I took it to the Ministry of Works and let them study..." Zhu Gaodong looked at Zhang Juling: "Maybe, the flood season in May will come in handy."
Zhu Gaodong said such words in front of so many people at the banquet, which was really a compliment.
Zhang Juling hurriedly bowed: "Prince Yu praised it, it was his subordinate who showed off."
Zhu Gaodong smiled, looked at Gu Lin on the right, and said, "Gu Shangshu's grandson-in-law is modest and cautious, and is an example of the younger generation."
Gu Lin also stood up and bowed: "It is a blessing for Su Zhi to be appreciated by Prince Yu."
Zhu Gaodong and Zhang Juling and Gu Lin's few words conveyed a message that Prince Yu seemed to want to bring the top scholar under his command... Zhang Juling is young, and the Zhang family is not a big family.
But Gu Lin is different. His grandson married Zhang Juling, who is Zhang Juling's grandfather.
The Gu family has a century-old family, with more than just rich backgrounds... However, as an older generation of royalists, will Gu Lin really take the lead in Prince Yu?
If it could be taken back to Zhang Juling, it would probably be taken back to Gu Lin.
Who are the people present?
Who is not a person who has been hiding and crawling in the officialdom?
When Prince Yu was this time, everyone's eyes changed a little when they saw Zhang Juling.
Zhu Gaozhi, who was standing beside him, drank with a cup and said nothing.
His elder brother is honest and honest, but he doesn't believe it at all.
Just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
Otherwise, why did you take Gu Lin's old fox with me in just a few words? Which one would be a fuel-efficient lamp when the royal family grew up?
Zhu Gaodong said nicely, wouldn’t he, Zhu Gaozhi?
"You're still young, are you?"
Zhu Gaodong asked Zhang Juling and talked to Xu Ming.
"Regarding the prince, the official is just over seventeen years old..." Xu Ming looked at the ground, a little nervous.
Zhu Gaodong smiled and praised: "I got the second place at the age of seventeen. I am really a hero."
"Thank you, the prince for the praise."
Xu Ming's baby face turned red again.
Seeing Zhu Gaodong talking to Lin Hairong again, Zhu Gaozhi's eyes darkened and he called Zhang Juling: "... Come here."
Zhang Juling was stunned for a moment, looked up at him, and saluted: "I have seen Prince Ling."
"No gift."
Zhu Gaozhi leaned on the back of the chair, wearing a brocade robe with gold silk patterns and a jade belt, which was noble and elegant.
He is a portrait of Concubine Xian, with a feminine and handsome face.
"...I heard that you are about to go to the Hanlin Academy?"
Zhang Juling nodded: “Yes.
Xiaguan will go to the Hanlin Academy to report tomorrow."
"good."
Zhu Gaozhi was not very comfortable sitting, so he changed his position: "...If you encounter any difficulties that you don't understand, you can go to Li Yong, a lecturer. He is well-versed in history and is a good lecturer."
As he spoke, he also called Li Yong over to introduce him to Zhang Juling.
Zhu Gaodong heard them talking, as if he hadn't heard it, and turned around and smiled.
Zhang Juling and Zhu Gaozhi talked for a while before going to pay homage to Gu Lin and saluted him: "Grandfather."
When Gu Lin heard his wife telling about Gu Han’s happy things, he asked Zhang Juling: “How is Sister Han’er’s health?”
