Chapter 28 If it fails, the Houfu letter comes
I'm not, I don't have it, don't talk nonsense.
Although Li Huai wanted to deny Sanlian in order to draw a clear line between him and the playboy in the past, and to show that he had been so wise and powerful from the beginning and had everything under control.
But unfortunately, in order to keep the plot in line, he had to smile bitterly, and then said: "This is helpless. You also know the situation in my family. Why don't I think more about it at this time?"
Zhao Chang was stunned for a moment, then patted Li Huai on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If I hadn't heard you say this with my own ears, I would have thought that someone was impostering me!"
Li Huai felt a shiver in his heart. Seeing that Zhao Chang's expression was as normal and not like he was testing, he felt relieved. Then he secretly wondered if he had gone too far and was too involved in role-playing that he couldn't hold back anymore?
This can't be done. If you want to be a good actor, you have to be able to let go and hold back.
However, no matter what, this performance has finally achieved a staged result.
According to the original plot, Zheng Xingye's article would be greatly appreciated by Xiao Guogong and Zhang Kun. The two noble men and talented men called Zheng Xingye over on the spot. After a discussion, they even admired Zheng's talents.
, thus forming a good relationship.
"It is precisely because of this good relationship that the cultural banquet event will be held soon!"
Li Huai sorted out the situation for half a month and found out that a few days later, Zhao Chang and Zheng Xingye met by chance again and took Zheng Xingye to a party, which laid the initial foundation for Zheng Xingye's rise.
Network base.
But now, the situation has changed.
While he was thinking about it, Zhao Chang said: "What you said today is indeed extraordinary. After a while, if there is any banquet or literary party, you can preach it again."
Li Huai was overjoyed when he heard this. If he could take advantage of the opportunity and attend the cultural gathering, he wouldn't have to worry about it. Honestly speaking, Li Huai would rather hold his wife in his arms, eat delicious food, wait for the title to come to him, and then eat and die until the end of the world -
—It would be even better if we could travel back in time.
It's just that he was still envisioning a better future, and Zhao Chang suddenly changed the subject: "You can also invite Scholar Zheng just now."
Suddenly, Li Huai became depressed again. The inertia of this plot was unexpectedly great!
However, despite this, he was still ready to give it a try to see if he could sneak into the literary society, and said: "I have heard a lot in the past that young talents in Chang'an often make friends with literary people, and sometimes even invite great Confucians to give lectures.
It is a grand event, and the people attending the meeting often take the general trend of the world as a guide, and discuss the past and the present. I admire it very much. If there is such a grand event these days, why not also call me and come over to listen?"
"this……"
When Zhao Chang heard this, he was a little hesitant.
Zhang Kun, on the other hand, smiled and said: "You have never liked this matter, and I have never called you in the past. Now that you are willing to participate, of course it is good. However, in such a discussion meeting, not only must the words be meaningful, but also the articles must be written.
The work can be taken out for people to appreciate. Your previous analysis is really good. If you can calm down, carefully consider the words and sentences, and write it into an article, Brother Li and I will of course recommend it to you."
"That's exactly what it is!" Zhao Chang nodded quickly, then changed the topic and let the two friends drink and eat, but he didn't mention the general trend of the world.
Li Huai ate and drank, watching the words and deeds of the two people, and understood in his heart.
"The article is more important than I originally expected. When I wrote the article, it was only used as a stage for Zheng Xingye's performance. He only participated once, and I won't mention it much later. But now that the world is real, then this article
The meeting is not a setting, but involves completion, so it is more prosperous. Not everyone can participate casually, and..."
He took another look at Zhao Chang, who was inviting him to drink and eat meat, and sighed secretly.
"The original version of Li Huai is said to be a good friend of the two, but he is more like a lackey. If it weren't for his predecessor's background, with his background as a marquis, his family has some influence in the military, and compared to when he was a teenager, he probably wouldn't be able to join these two.
Eyes, it's okay to drink and eat meat, and it's okay to brag about the general trend of the world, but if it really comes down to business, let's talk about other things. Zhang Kun's previous words are actually evasive. Unless I can write a good article,
But this is easier said than done? Being able to speak and being able to write are not the same thing."
Thinking like this, Li Huai could also understand that the previous Li Qilang could neither keep his mouth shut nor stand up for things. He was good at causing trouble but lacked in solving problems. If he really got involved in big things, he would definitely succeed more than fail.
How can the situation be completely reversed just by one day's discussion? Considering all the previous affairs of his predecessor Li Huai, if there is another turmoil at the literary meeting, it will be Zhao Chang's face that he will lose!
"Fortunately, my original intention was not to go through them. Zheng Xingye entered through another way in his previous life, and now that I have a ticket, I can definitely show off..."
As he was thinking about this, he saw Zhang Kun take a sip of wine, and then asked seemingly casually: "Speaking of which, Xuan Qing, have you had any contact with Zheng Xingye before?"
"how do I say this?"
Li Huai put down his bowl and chopsticks and thought secretly, did he reveal any traces? This is actually not difficult to guess. After all, some of his words just now were not obvious, but he could still feel the intended meaning, and Zhang Kun discovered it.
Not a surprise.
Zhang Kun said: "Nothing else, I just feel that the things you two said are similar, and they both happen to be concerned about Zhengyang, so I am a little curious."
Zhengyang is the name of the young Duke Zhao Chang.
"It's just a coincidence." Li Huai was shocked again, knowing that today's preparations were somewhat deliberate. A smart man like Zhang Kun would inevitably get clues when he thought about it. Fortunately, he and Zheng Xingye had no connection on the surface.
It is also convenient to fool him, "I think there have been frequent reports about the affairs of the feudal town recently. Because of my father and brother, and he is often involved in military affairs during the imperial examinations, and he also has to write military strategies, so I thought of it all at the same time."
In fact, this is also a helpless move. Li Huai knew from the beginning that there would be such hidden dangers, but faced with the pressure of the plot, he had to act like this. There may be other clever ways, but after all, he is not the protagonist of his book.
Generally speaking, it is impossible to cover everything in a short time.
"This is also possible..." Zhang Kun nodded and did not pursue further.
On the other side, on that floor, Zheng Xingye, who had returned to his seat, was no longer interested in talking, and was full of thoughts of avenging his past humiliation.
"What's wrong with him?" When his uncle saw this, he couldn't help but ask.
Luo Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "This is really a long story, and it is also related to Li Qilang of the Hou Mansion."
"Is it related to Li Huai? Could it be that the playboy provoked me in front of the young prince and bullied my nephew?"
"That's not the case. Alas, it's okay not to say it! I'll let Xingye tell you after some time!" Luo Xiang hesitated for a moment. After all, he didn't want to promote Li Huai.
It's just that he keeps a low profile here, but he can't stop the other mouth——
When Lu Wei came down, he didn't care about many things. He boasted and praised: "That Li Qilang is also knowledgeable. He is not inferior to Zheng Jun in discussing the feudal towns. I was also deeply inspired and a little emotional. I stayed there for a few days."
After that, I will write it into an article for everyone to appreciate!"
As he said that, he saw many people with expressions of surprise and suspicion, and added: "It is really the seventh man of the Li family. Oh, I was really misled by the rumors in the past. When I saw him today, I realized that he was an extraordinary person!
"
His words caused a commotion——
"Lu Wei, are you even giving up your face in order to climb a high tree? Can you say anything?"
"Yeah, then what kind of thing is Li Qi? Who knows? He still has knowledge, and he still enlightens you? I'm afraid it's not because he has little knowledge. He reads Zheng Jun's articles well and wants to take it as his own and let you help promote it.
?He doesn’t understand the power of this, and you still don’t?”
"I guess it's really like this. Could it be that you haven't noticed that Mr. Zheng has been a little unhappy since he came down..."
…
When these people said this, others also supported them. Those who usually did not dare to criticize the powerful people said that when they saw everyone, they thought of the law and did not blame everyone, so they also echoed a few words, appearing to be gregarious.
Even some young girls in the Yuyu Tower also chimed in, but they quickly led the topic away to prevent everyone from really discussing the matter.
Only Lu Wei's face turned red and he argued: "Why am I lying? If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Zheng or Mr. Luo!"
While everyone was laughing, someone actually wanted to ask Zheng Xingye.
At this time, the young scholar couldn't stay any longer. Seeing many people approaching, he stood up and wanted to leave. However, there was no gate here yet, so there were a few boys and servants rushing in.
, after asking a few questions, he rushed upstairs without stopping.
Others recognized them.
"Why are the people in Dingxianghou Mansion so anxious? Could it be that the guy upstairs caused something else?"
"It's really possible. After all, we have to fight for articles!"
"Oh, this man is really a man who has a lovely wife and a beautiful wife, but he still works hard all day long..."
"I can't tell, maybe it's something else."
"When you said that, I also thought of something."
Soon, the people on this floor started to look lively.
Ignoring these people's comments, the servants rushed in and rushed up the stairs to the second floor. They were blocked by the guards. One of them stretched his arms without saying anything.
He looked over, saw Li Huai, and shouted quickly: "Seventh Young Master, something happened at home! You..."
"Send someone over here." Zhao Chang waved his hand and asked the guards to let him go.
The leading boy took three steps at a time and came to Li Huai's side, still looking anxious.
"Don't panic, what's going on at home? Tell me slowly." Li Huai said a few words of comfort, but he knew very well in his heart that he began to speculate that maybe the key plot point had arrived, but...
He frowned slightly.
Compared with the original text, there seems to be a slight discrepancy in time.
Chapter completed!
