Chapter 163 Mid-Autumn Poetry Party

In the early morning of the next day, Yang Yanzhang felt someone was pulling his quilt, so he grabbed the quilt with both hands and tried to snatch it back, but the hands on the other side were so strong that he couldn't pull it back. This time, Yang Yanzhang became angry: "Who? You dare to take advantage of the censor while he is sleeping."

The words stopped abruptly in the middle of the conversation. Shangguan Wan'er stood opposite, with a corner of the quilt in his hand.

Seeing that Yang Yanzhang was awake, Shangguan Wan'er let go of the quilt, then shrugged her nose and asked with an ugly face: "Why does your body smell like a woman's rouge? Could it be that there was another woman here last night? "

"Well, this isn't important. What's the reason for you to come to me so early?"

Yang Yanzhang's face froze. Is this woman's nose so sensitive? Then he quickly changed the subject.

Shangguan Wan'er snorted coldly and said, "Can't I come and see you if I have nothing to do?"

Yang Yanzhang gave a wry smile and said, "Of course you can. You are welcome to visit me at any time, but it's still too early. You'd better go back first to avoid disturbing the people."

After Yang Yanzhang said this, he regretted it because he had already guessed the reason why Shangguan Wan'er came here.

"Yang Yushi!" Shangguan Wan'er suddenly shouted.

Yang Yanzhang immediately made a warning gesture to prevent Shangguan Wan'er from making a sneak attack.

Shangguan Wan'er rolled her eyes and said angrily: "What are you thinking? I'm not a thief!"

Yang Yanzhang said awkwardly: "Ahem, aren't I afraid of your sneak attack? I can't bear the responsibility of hurting the beauty."

"Cut~"

Shangguan Wan'er rolled her eyes at Yang Yanzhang.

Yang Yanzhang secretly scolded himself for talking too much. He quickly changed the subject and said, "Miss Wan'er, I don't know why you came to see me today?"

Shangguan Wan'er sighed and said, "Yang Yushi, the Queen Mother has invited me to discuss important matters."

Yang Yanzhang was surprised: "The Queen Mother is looking for me?"

Shangguan Wan'er nodded.

"Okay!" Yang Yanzhang agreed without hesitation.

Shangguan Wan'er asked in surprise: "Why don't you ask?"

"No need to ask, it must be a good thing, otherwise the Queen Mother would not summon her in person." Yang Yanzhang said matter-of-factly.

"You are quite confident." Shangguan Wan'er curled her lips, and then said: "Then let's leave now. The Queen Mother has summoned us, so we can't delay."

"Okay!" Yang Yanzhang followed Shangguan Wan'er and walked towards the palace.

At this time, in the harem, Wu Zetian had been waiting for a long time.

"Your Majesty Yang Yanzhang comes to see the Queen Mother."

Yang Yanzhang knelt down and saluted after entering the door, neither humble nor overbearing.

"Be flat!"

After Yang Yanzhang stood up, Wu Zetian said: "The Ai family asked you to come because they want you to participate in the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival."

"I obey the decree!" Yang Yanzhang happily agreed.

In fact, he has long wanted to participate in the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival, because he knows many young talents, many of whom are talented and elegant. If he can make friends with one or two, it will be of great benefit to his future career, and Yang Yanzhang also I want to use this Mid-Autumn Poetry Fair to get to know many aristocratic ladies. If I have a chance to meet a noble or talented girl in the future, I might have the opportunity to marry her as my wife.

However, Yang Yanzhang did not expect that Wu Zetian would personally call him to participate, which made Yang Yanzhang flattered.

"The Queen Mother has a destiny to hold a Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival at Guanghan Temple in the south of the city tomorrow at the first quarter of the hour. Yang Yushi must not forget it." Wu Zetian said: "The Ai family has other things to deal with, so I won't send you away. ”

"Thank you Queen Mother!"

It turns out that since the Tang Dynasty became powerful, every Mid-Autumn Festival, Chinese Valentine's Day and other festivals, not only the people, but also the palace would organize a grand poetry gathering to achieve the purpose of appreciating both refined and popular people.

Many young ladies from the families of princes, generals and prime ministers will also come to participate.These people are young talents from all over the world, with outstanding literary talent and unparalleled poetry and songs. If you can chat with them for a few words, they may have an enlightening effect on your own talents and learning.

Therefore, this also caused many people to think of ways to participate in this poetry meeting, especially those like Yang Yanzhang who were aspiring to enter the court.

Yang Yanzhang walked out of Qianning Hall, and his whole body suddenly became energetic.

The Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival is an annual practice. As long as the literati who are qualified to participate in the Poetry Festival must complete a poem within three days, this assessment is not strict. As long as a talented person can write a high-quality poem, Can.

However, this assessment is not simple, because there is an important test in it, which is the interpretation of ancient poetry.

As a weak scholar, Yang Yanzhang didn't even know a few Chinese characters. It was okay for him to write an ordinary poem, but it was absolutely impossible for him to recite a profound ancient poem.

However, this is exactly what Yang Yanzhang wants. As long as he has poetry in hand and his outstanding literary talent, he will definitely be able to stand out.

As for other talented people, Yang Yanzhang didn't pay attention at all.

After all, he memorized poems before traveling through time.

Now Yang Yanzhang is excited when he thinks that he can show off at the Mid-Autumn Poetry Fair.

While Yang Yanzhang was preparing for the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival, Han Rui had already taken stock of his troops and marched toward the countries in the Western Regions with his mighty army.

As the connecting country between Dawan and Tang Dynasty, Qiuci Kingdom was naturally Han Rui's first target.

At this time, the Qiuci Kingdom had received news that the Tang Dynasty was going to attack them, and the entire country entered a state of war readiness.

At the same time, the king of Kucha also sent scouts outside Kucha to inquire about the Tang army.

However, Han Rui did not agree, because Han Rui knew that the Tang Dynasty was now very powerful and could not be competed by a small country like Kucha. If Kucha did not agree, it would only be struggling to its death, and it would perish sooner or later.

So Han Rui continued southward with his army.

In any case, Kucha is the first country that Han Rui wants to conquer, because there are many gold and silver treasures in Kucha.

Historically, this period was also the period when Han Rui was most impoverished, because the treasury of the Kingdom of Kucha was already empty, and Han Rui, a greedy man, would naturally target the Kingdom of Kucha and plunder it.

Although Han Rui is not sure that he can improve the morale of this army, Han Rui believes that with his own ability, as long as he is given enough time, he will be able to train strong soldiers, even if they face the impact of the Tang Dynasty cavalry. No fear at all.

That night, Han Rui led five hundred armored guards on patrol.

"Report, brother, there is an urgent report."

"Bring it up!"

Han Rui took the emergency report and read it, but after reading it, he frowned slightly.

"Brother, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Brother, please tell me quickly." Du Yan next to him asked hurriedly.

In the past few days, Du Yan and Du Yu have become impatient. They always feel that something is happening, but they can't figure it out.
