When Song Mu came out of the Princess's Mansion, he felt indescribably awkward.
Li Mo'er told herself her current troubles and frankly said that she didn't like this arranged marriage.
It seemed that the sorrow was poured out to Song Mu through a bamboo tube.
But obviously she also understood that this arranged marriage was something she could not get rid of no matter what.
As the most special being that combines the royal family with the Li Poetry Sect, Li Moer is an excellent medium in the eyes of those who stand at the pinnacle of strength.
Using it to connect the royal family, the Li Shizong and the Du Shizong, Li Moer will become a strong link between the peak powers of the entire Wen Dynasty.
There are so many twists and turns that even Song Mu can't figure it out.
But this made Song Mu notice Du Feiying again.
This rising star of the new generation of the Du Shi Sect, now commanding the northwest frontier army, is the power that frightens the demons on one side.
Song Mu had also heard Tao Fengming say before that he had just passed the general examination, so he challenged Tao Fengming, who was still serving in the court at that time, as a tribute scholar.
Tao Fengming, who was at the peak of Jinshi, naturally defeated the opponent easily and won the opponent's Kawaze, but the opponent left a message saying that he would challenge Tao Fengming later.
However, something unexpected happened and Tao Feng suddenly disappeared from the world, while Du Feiying kept going up all the way.
Du Feiying was involved in almost all the wars during the Chongwen period of the Wen Dynasty. Because of his formidable combat power, he was already a Hanlin scholar at the age of forty and became a prominent presence.
If the other party agrees to the marriage, it seems that they have approved the three-way contact.
Song Mu got on the carriage again, sighed slightly, and felt helpless for Li Moer.
…
The next day, Song Mu took the written post and went to Tan Xiang's mansion.
This was not only the reason why the other party submitted the post, but also Tao Fengming's request.
This Prime Minister Tan, whose real name is Tan Zhongye, was a Jinshi during the Kaiwen period. He is now a bachelor. He worked as a compiler in the Hanlin Academy and became the minister of the Ministry of Rites. Then he became the minister of the Ministry of War. He followed the new emperor Li Ao to pacify the demonic chaos in all directions. Finally, he became an official. Pay homage to the Prime Minister.
He was famous for his thunderous tactics, and he also made great achievements during his tenure. It was also from him that the head of the Shizong clan or his direct descendants took up important official positions in the five armies.
Now he is also highly valued by the emperor, and some people even assert that he will one day replace the left prime minister and become another literary pinnacle of this literary dynasty.
But this statement is also very derisive.
Because the current left prime minister is the great scholar Feng Qi.
However, the official position of Right Chancellor was already something that a young Jie Yuan like Song Mu looked up to, so at the moment he just had to bite the bullet and come to submit the post.
When Song Mu arrived at the door of Xiang Tan's residence, he happened to see a large carriage stop. There was a middle-aged man in a purple robe walking out of Tan's residence.
Song Mu stood on one side and looked at each other. The man seemed to have noticed the cultivation under Song Mu's young face. He glanced slightly and walked straight onto the carriage.
But another young man ran out from Tan's house and stood in front of the carriage and held his hands toward the inside.
"Father, yesterday Duke An Guo said that he had something to discuss, and he was at Qiyue Tower."
I think the one among them is Tan Xiang. This young man must be his son.
There was a response from the carriage, and then the carriage left. The young man also turned to look at Song Mu at this moment.
Song Mu also raised his head and saw a man with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a broad face. He also raised his hand towards him.
"I met you in Song Mu, Jizhou Prefecture, Jiangnan West Road."
"Song Mu? Are you Song Jieyuan?!"
When the other party heard this, he immediately walked forward quickly, bowed his hands in salute, then looked at Song Mu with surprise, and said with a smile.
"My Excellency, Tan Weiyi, nice to meet you."
Song Mu also remembered the other party's name. It was the person who handed him the post, and he quickly handed it over.
"Nice to meet you. I'm here to visit you today. I see you are so careless when you go out."
Song Mu said this, but Tan Weiyi waved his hand and immediately led Song Mu to the house, not forgetting to explain a few words.
"My father is busy with official duties now, and he usually doesn't receive guests. But today, it's a coincidence that I have a few friends at home, so I want to introduce Jie Yuan to them."
Song Mu nodded slightly and followed him into this rather dignified mansion, arriving at a backyard. At this moment, the place was as warm as a spring breeze, and there were several young people sitting in the courtyard.
When they saw Tan Wei coming, they immediately stood up, but saw Song Mu following him, a little curious.
"Everyone, this is Song Jieyuan and Song Mu who have been at the top of their game these past few years and have attracted the attention of countless scholars and scholars."
Tan Wei smiled and introduced to several people. These people suddenly looked shocked and immediately handed over.
"Song Jieyuan, this is Zhuang Hongyuan from Fuzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province. He is Jieyuan in the 26th year of Chongwen."
"This is Wang Yu, a disciple of the Wang family of poets. Mr. Mojie has a profound understanding of landscape poetry!"
"This is Teng Shaojie, the eldest son of Lord An Guo. I grew up with him, and he is now a scholar at the peak of his career."
Song Mu looked at the three people in the field, and immediately handed over his hands, and introduced himself in a deep voice. Several people also handed over to each other, and there seemed to be some surprise on their faces.
Tan Weiyi smiled and asked a few people to sit down and ordered them to serve tea.
"You don't have to be so restrained. Song Jieyuan is also approachable. Besides, we are all students who are going to take part in this examination, so we should communicate more."
After saying this, the expressions of several people were slightly calm, but this time they still looked at Song Mu with a bit of curiosity.
"Song Jie Yuan, I have heard about Jie Yuan for a long time. I have even seen many poems and articles about Jie Yuan in Tianwen Magazine. Every time I read them, I admire him a lot."
The speaker was Zhuang Hongyuan, who was wearing blue clothes. He raised his hands and spoke with flashing eyes.
"I heard that Jie Yuan is only in his weak years, but he has already achieved such a level of cultivation. I am really ashamed of myself."
Song Mu quickly handed over his hand, and Wang Yu, who was wearing green clothes next to him, also said with a smile.
"Song Jieyuan is the heir to the Song family's cultural lineage. Jieyuan's reputation is also something that I admire greatly."
The two of them were holding each other in such a way, Song Mu felt a little embarrassed, and he held his hands away again and again, but Teng Shaojie poured tea with Song Mu this time, and then said with a smile.
"Song Jieyuan, we were just discussing the matter of this conference. I wonder what Jie Yuan thinks of this conference?"
When Song Mu heard this, he immediately raised his brows, smiled and held his hands.
"I tried my best to take the exam, but I only found out what I was doing."
"Haha, such a quick answer shows that Jie Yuan is confident. We are also distressed. No news has come out about this exam. We don't even know who the examiner is. This time we come to Yongcheng Mansion. Nao Nuo, I also want to have a look."
As Teng Shaojie said this, he looked at Tan Weiyi next to him with a smile on his face.
As soon as Tan Wei put down the tea bowl in his hand, he smiled and shook his head.
"I also know a little bit about it, but it's just some trivial things. It doesn't hurt to tell you."
