Tibet

Chapter 385
In the study room, the Dugu brothers had a fierce dispute.

"I can understand how big brother wants to marry the Wei family. Wei Qingxuan is indeed a very outstanding young man. If there is no Li Ye, I will definitely support brother.

But Li Ye is not as simple as being outstanding. He is a king. When I talked to him, the wisdom he showed was not in line with his age, and even surpassed me. To give up such an opportunity, the Dugu family will regret it! "

Dugulie sighed and said: "I understand what you are talking about, I know very well how Li Ye rose to rise, and I agree with your judgment, he is a king and a hero, but it is because I know that, that I am a little scared .”

"Fear?"

Dugu Jun was puzzled and said, "Why did brother use the word fear?"

Dugulie shook his head, "Didn't you realize that Li Ye's limelight is too strong and has already surpassed the prince? Do you really think that the emperor is not afraid of him?"

Dugu Jun frowned, "Brother, why not tell me in detail!"

Dugulie sighed and said again: "We know too much about the internal struggles of the Li family, how Li Chengqi was forced to give up the position of crown prince, how Ruizong was forced to abdicate, how the emperor controlled the Ten Kings' Residence, how to control the Baisunyuan, Others don't know, we still don't know?

Fortunately, Li Ye is only a branch of the royal family, and there is not much threat to the succession of the throne. The emperor will tolerate him a little bit, and will use him to expand the territory. Will not tolerate him any longer. "

"But what if he becomes a big deal?"

"What great things can he accomplish? He can still ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor? At most, he can occupy the Western Regions and become king, but do you think the emperor can't think of this?

I am the Minister of the Ministry of War, the emperor issued a decree specifically requesting that 1 people from Guanzhong and Chang'an be stationed in the river, I understand what he means?Put the families of these soldiers under the control of the court, and they would not dare to rebel with Li Ye.

If Li Ye wanted to separatize Hezhong, his army would turn against him as soon as the Anxi army came out, so I thought twice over the past two days. Although Li Ye is extraordinary, I really can't choose him. "

"Brother is right, but... I'm really sorry!"

Dugu Lie patted his brother on the shoulder, "I'm sorry too, but I am the head of the Dugu family, and I shoulder the interests and safety of the entire family. I must not take any risks."

Everyone was indoors, so Dugu Lie gathered all the young men attending the banquet, a total of more than thirty people.

Dugu Lie smiled and said to the crowd: "Dancing with knives and guns during the New Year is not suitable, why not come to the essay competition! To help the taste, are you interested in participating in poetry reciting and Fu, and the winners will be rewarded."

Wei Qingxuan said with a smile: "Since Patriarch Dugu has such an elegant desire, we should obey."

Everyone responded one after another. Fang Mingqian and Yang Shu both knew that this was actually a blind date test. They asked, "Excuse me, Patriarch Dugu, do you write poems as you like, or designate themes?"

Dugu Lie laughed and said: "Today is to celebrate my brother's appointment as the Beiting Jiedu Envoy, so let's designate frontier poems! It's more appropriate, give everyone half an hour, and three authoritative judges will be selected by then!"

Of course An Qingxu knew what was going on, if they wanted to use them as green leaves to set off Wei Qingxuan's talent, it would be too much of a deception to think of himself as someone.

An Qingxu stared fiercely at Wei Qingxuan, and snorted, "Patriarch Dugu, I'm a little talented, so I won't make a fool of myself."

"Yes! Yes! It's not forced. It's just a game. Those who are interested in it can participate. An Shaoqing, please come to the guest room for tea."

An Qingxu turned around and asked Li Ye, "Captain Li, do you want to participate too?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "It's okay to give it a try!"

"Hehe! May you be a big fat green leaf!"

An Qingxu turned around and stormed away angrily.

Dugu Jun next to him was a little uneasy, he knew An Qingxu's cruel character, he couldn't suffer, especially after the Luoyang Oiran incident, everyone knew that he was ruthless when it came to women, so don't act recklessly and hurt Suzaku.

Dugu Jun immediately finds his second son, Dugu Hanyang, who is highly skilled in martial arts, and asks him to keep an eye on An Qingxu.

In the lobby, more than [-] people are thinking hard, walking or sitting. There is a locked copper cabinet on the front table with a throwing hole on it. After finishing writing, just throw it into the cabinet.

Li Ye walked over to the copper cabinet, and Wei Qingxuan finished writing, Li Ye smiled and said, "Brother Wei, please!"

Wei Qingxuan clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Captain Li, I'm really sorry today!"

Li Ye patted his arm and said in a low voice: "I have a very good personal relationship with King Guangping. We should be fellow travelers. First of all, congratulations to Brother Wei!"

It means that we are all prince factions, so there is no need to cause disputes over such trivial matters.

"Captain Li is right, we put the overall situation first."

The two submitted poems, and Li Ye whispered again: "Be careful with An Qingxu, he can't afford to lose."

Wei Qingxuan sneered and said: "I know, he sent people to follow me these few days, thinking that I didn't find out, I know it very well."

"Brother Wei, as long as you know what's in your heart, I have something to do, so let's go first."

"Doctor Li, please go ahead!"

Li Ye came outside the mansion. He did not come alone today. He brought his female servant Wang Chenghua. Wang Chenghua came yesterday and stayed at Li Ye's house temporarily. Her mother passed away, and her father and brother lived together. Wang Chenghua He had no children, so he gave the money to his father, paid homage to the tombs of his mother and husband, and rushed to the capital early in the morning.

When Li Ye walked to the parking lot, Wang Chenghua greeted him and said, "What orders does the governor have?"

"Let me ask you, what method do you use to kill someone without showing any trace?"

Li Ye originally wanted to encourage An Qingxu to do something, but An Qingxu was very cunning, and he might not be fooled. Fortunately, An Qingxu found someone to follow Wei Qingxuan, so he could make him take the blame.

Wang Chenghua is a bounty hunter with rich experience in this field. She thought for a while and said, "The best way to do it in winter is to use ice ridges. After piercing the heart, it will melt into water and there will be no traces."

"How about your hidden weapon?"

"No problem, I can shoot the ice prism into the horse's valley within three feet, and the horse will go crazy. I will then shoot a second ice prism, which can penetrate the head. The injury test will think it was a collision and died."

Li Ye nodded, "I want you to kill someone for me tomorrow!"

Before Li Ye returned to the lobby, it was already full of people. It turned out that the selection had already started, and everyone had finished their poems ahead of schedule.

Not only the thirty or so young people, but also the rest of the guests came.

Dugu Lie excitedly announced the prize, which was Zhang Xu's cursive script, and the content was a poem "Spring Grass" written by Zhang Xu himself.

The spring grass is green and green for thousands of miles, and the setting sun in the border town sees the separation.

Love knows the sea is farewell for three years, and I don't send a piece of paper between the clouds.

Everyone was envious. Although Zhang Xu still lived in Luoyang, his calligraphy was hard to find and extremely rare. The Dugu family has a deep heritage, so it is reasonable to have some of Zhang Xu's calligraphy works.

But this was just an impromptu competition, and Dugulie actually took out Zhang Xu's calligraphy as a reward, which is simply amazing.

Of course, Li Ye and the others knew that this calligraphy was a gift for his future son-in-law.

At this time, three judges came out, all professors of Taixue, and Dugu Lie specially invited them to select poems.

Wei Qingxuan hurriedly stood at the end, he liked the feeling that everyone turned their heads together and saluted him in amazement.

A judge stepped forward and whispered a few words to Dugu Lie. Dugu Lie was stunned and quickly glanced at Li Ye. He whispered a few more words, and the three old men shook their heads at the same time.

Helpless, Dugu Lie had no choice but to announce: "After selection, No. 1 is "Shu Zhi" written by Hezhong Governor Li Ye.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Wei Qingxuan couldn't believe his ears, he was the No. 3 Tanhua of Jinshi, and he didn't get the first place, but was squeezed out by a warrior.

He moved his mouth, but finally held back, and the lead judge said: "We have repeatedly confirmed that this "Shu Zhi" has not plagiarized anyone, and it is indeed a masterpiece of new poetry. I will read it for everyone to appreciate."

He cleared his throat and read slowly:
"Records"

He Dugu's long history as Beiting

Why don't men wear Wu hooks?
Charge Guanshan Fifty States.

Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily,
How about a scholar with tens of thousands of households?
The old man's voice was up and down, and he read quite passionately, and everyone immediately applauded and applauded.

Famous poems that can be handed down to later generations are top-notch works even in the Tang Dynasty. Wei Qingxuan is sincerely convinced that his writing is much better than himself.

The old man smiled again: "No.2 is Wei Qingxuan's "Homesickness", I will read it to everyone."

"homesick"

The sound of twilight horns by the river,
Heliantai side travel favor.

The return journey from Hanguan is more than a thousand miles away,
Overnight, the autumn wind happened in vain.

Everyone also applauded, the writing is really good, the autumn wind happened overnight, and the feeling of homesickness was vividly portrayed.

However, the layout is still a little low, not grand enough, without Li Dudu's catchy poems, it is not a grade.

At this time, Li Ye smiled and said, "Actually, Young Master Wei also writes very well, at least his calligraphy is much better than mine. Can Patriarch Dugu win another prize? The two will be tied for first place."

Dugulie was really ashamed, he didn't expect Li Ye to be so arrogant, knowing that he was choosing a son-in-law, he took the initiative to give the opportunity to Wei Qingxuan.

As soon as he thought about it, he nodded and smiled: "Okay! The two young heroes cherish each other, so I will take another piece of Zhang Xu's sketch."

Now that Li Ye has made a high profile, it is not easy for Dugu Lie to publicly announce that Wei Qingxuan's blind date was successful, he has to save some face for Li Ye.
