Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 43 Difficult Choices
Fangfu backyard.

The scorching sun shivered afterimages reflected on the shimmering water, and the slightly dry temperature aroused a few koi carps to puncture the surface of the mirror-like lake, floating their heads to take a breath.

The hot wind swayed through the layers of ripples caused by the fish heads, and blew towards the figure sitting beside the willow tree on the bank.

The hair under the forehead brushed the gloomy cheeks, Fang Yiai took a sip from the jug, the pungent taste filled the mouthpiece and passed down, and an unusual flush appeared on the face.

"Jiu Niang relieves sorrow, but I alone said it, but it didn't work at all."

Staring at the jug in her hand, Fang Yiai gave a bitter smile.

His Majesty gave Li Xian a marriage, and the person he liked passed by.Facing the supreme imperial power, he was helpless.

Looking up at the sky, Fang Yiai mumbled to herself.

"Perhaps, this is fate."

Tapping.

Behind the heavy footsteps, thick reprimands followed.

"The sky in Fangfu has collapsed, and you are still dejected here!"

Fang Yiai turned her head to meet the eyes that hated iron and steel, and forced a smile.

"Brother..."

The visitor stared fiercely at the figure sitting on the tree trunk, took two steps, grabbed the jug, took two gulps, and smashed the jug to the ground with a 'bang'.

Amidst the splash of ceramic shards, the wine-stained beard trembled, and his lips squirmed angrily.

"The emperor's list of the Poetry Association is announced, and the poems inscribed are not from your mouth."

"You, the number one talented person in the capital, have already become the laughing stock of the whole city. Do you still have the face to drink alcohol here?"

boom.

The words hit the forehead like a thunderbolt from the clear sky.

A look of surprise flashed across Fang Yiai's face, and she suddenly turned her head to look at the figure beside her.

Not your own poems?
Didn't he come out on top?
Has the title of the most talented man in the capital vanished?
The shocking news made the slumped figure unable to sit still any longer, he stood up "Teng" and stood by the lake.

"how is this possible!"

"How can there be no poems written by my Fang Yiai on this imperial list that announces to the scholars of the world?"

"The poems written by my Fang Yiai are applauded by the current holy majesty. How can those sour words at the poetry meeting have the qualifications to challenge them? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

snort!
A cold snort came out of his nasal cavity, Fang Yi stared straight at the angry figure, and made a cold sound.

"When drunk, I don't know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of clear dreams, pressing down on the galaxy."

"Such poems are not your Fang Yiai's style."

As soon as these words came out, Fang Yiai's body shook, and she muttered and repeated the poem just now.

When I read it for the first time, I felt as if I was in a dreamlike fairyland, which made people intoxicated.The connection between reality and reality is just right, and the hazy beauty is vividly displayed.

Such poems are definitely called the best sentences of all ages, and compared with them, they are far behind.

Most of the original pride dissipated, Fang Yiai frowned and murmured.

"Although the poems are good, this poem is not from the Poetry Club."

After the words fell, Fang Yizhi on the other side was also quite surprised.

Not from a poetry club?

Could it be that the person who mentioned the poem was not at the poetry meeting?
How did such poems reach His Majesty's ears?

Almost at the same moment, the two looked at each other, and there was a look of doubt in their eyes at the same time.

Fangfu's fame in the imperial city is due to Fangxiang holding the great power in the Tang Dynasty, but when it comes to the young generation of Fangfu, they are far less wise and intelligent than Fangxiang.

Although the eldest son, Fang Yizhi, is a fifth-rank official, he was forced to enter the court to discuss politics because of the single-handed promotion of Fang Xiang.The second wife's widow was just relying on her reputation as a talented scholar in the capital to support her facade.

Originally, he wanted to rely on the opportunity of being nominated by the Poetry Association to gain a holy favor, but now that his reputation is gone, most of his strategy of revitalizing the Fangfu has almost collapsed.

Thinking of this, the corners of Fang Yi'ai's eyes twitched, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart.

"Could it be that... this mysterious scribe with outstanding literary talent has been... collected by His Majesty, so it can't be leaked...?"

Fang Yi straightened his pale cheeks, and nervously guessed the last sentence.

The invisible words are like the demonic seeds of fear wandering in the heart, once they land, they will grow vigorously and spread their branches and leaves.

Both of them thought clearly that if this was the case, Fangfu's most proud advantage in poetry and prose would come to an end, and the great dream of soaring into the sky would die prematurely.

Fang Yiai had long since lost the arrogance she had just now, she sat down slowly propping up on the tree trunk, a hint of panic appeared on her dignified face.

After all, the shortest route was cut off, and the chances of revitalizing Fangfu step by step in the prosperous Tang Dynasty were slim.

Taking a long and slow breath, Fang Yiai suppressed her chaotic mind and began to think quietly.

Fang Yizhi watched anxiously, walked up a few steps, stopped, and looked at Fang Yiai who was deep in thought.

"Yi love, don't think about it any more!"

"Nowadays, Li Xian, who is idle and has no great skills, has always been by your side, and he has made great achievements. If there are mysterious talents around His Majesty's side, reciting poems and reciting poems, who else in the Tang Dynasty will be able to win His Majesty's favor again?"

"Marriage! Only by relying on the princess and the royal family can we achieve it quickly!"

His knuckles knocked on the stone table, Fang Yi frowned into a Sichuan character, and the wrinkles and ravines became deeper.

"Princess Changle is a direct descendant, and she is the eldest princess of Tang Dynasty. This is undoubtedly the best choice!"

"Don't hesitate!"

"Even if it's for our Fangfu, for our heirs!"

A sentence hits the heart, impacting Fang Yiai's stubborn heart.

Throughout the ages, the marriage of aristocratic and powerful families has been the shortest choice for a strong alliance.

But Fang Yiai firmly sits at the top of the capital's number one talented person, and was born into a wealthy family, so she is naturally proud and arrogant, and disdains such opportunistic methods.

Fang Yizhi, who grew up with Fang Yiai since he was a child, couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart, strode to Fang Yiai's side, and put his big hand on his arm.

"Yi Ai, elder brother is well aware of your ambition, and intends to climb all the way through all obstacles. But you are still young, and the Tang Dynasty is fighting for power, and there are undercurrents surging. How can you, a person who has been outside the court, understand the danger?"

"Looking at the government and the public, it is the military generals who are far away who are most likely to win military exploits. Today, the world is tentatively settled, and the dawn of the Tang Dynasty has already appeared. How many conquests can be fought?"

"Climb up to the royal princess and secure the position of the emperor's relatives, and our Fangfu will be able to stand above others in front of the princes!"

Covering Fang Yi'ai's shoulder with a big hand, Fang Yizhi slapped it twice, like an elder speaking earnestly.

"You! Don't think about these smooth roads anymore. Listen to Brother Chang, express your heart to my father earlier, and propose marriage to Princess Changle! Sit firmly in the position of Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty, and think about other matters in the future. right way."

Call ~
Fang Yiai let out a long breath of relief, slightly eased her frown, and waved her hands.

"That's all, Li Xian can take the path, and our Fangfu will not lose face if we go."

"It's just that this kid is taking advantage of others, and his tone is really unbearable."

After the event was finalized, the boulder hanging in Fang Yi's heart crashed to the ground.

The anxiety just now had disappeared, and there was a warm smile on his sunny face.

"Yuai, you know how to understand righteousness, and you are thinking about the revitalization of the Fangfu. Brother Chang is quite pleased."

"It's best to mention the matter of marrying Princess Changle to my father earlier."

"Brother Chang is at the mansion, waiting for your good news."
