196. Controversy sparked by grapevine
"I wonder what happened to the emperor's brother come here?"
Drinking a pot of tea together, Ji Wuli felt that this would not be a solution, so he smiled and spoke. However, Qi Lu did not blame the other party for turning against the enemy. After all, it was not a solution to keep silent like a dull person.
"The Wenkuang Pavilion will be completed after the New Year..."
"We already know this,"
Qi Lu put down the tea bowl and before the other party could finish speaking, he spoke: "This is a good thing."
Before starting a topic, the tone must be set first. What he said is nothing more than trying to show that he will not put any obstacles on the eldest prince because of this matter.
Even if the people can relax and live a better life, he will not do anything that will be stung by the backbone.
"If the eldest prince comes to my house just for this matter, then there is no need to worry too much."
After Qi Lu said that, he picked up the tea bowl again and sucked it.
This is going to see off guests.
Ji Wuyu laughed, shook his head and took out an invitation from his sleeve, placed it on the table, and pushed towards Qi Lu's position.
"If you don't have your words, you will definitely lose a lot of fun. Since Shunyilou has no face, then I personally come to invite you. I wonder if my brother can give you this face?"
The atmosphere between the venue was stagnant, and Qi Lu stared at the invitation on the table and then chuckled:
"The eldest prince's move is a good plan."
As he said that, he looked up at the other party, "I'm afraid you've heard of your coming to the humble house at this time, right?"
After being exposed, Ji Wuyu was not embarrassed, and nodded and said, "I heard that there are some exaggerations in the streets and alleys, but everyone in the academy should know it."
He pointed his fingers on the invitation and rotated it back and forth along the center point. However, Qi Lu's expression seemed to be smiling and kept looking at the eldest prince.
Just by this trivial matter, you can see how small the minds of the people in the academy are.
If he agreed to go to the poetry and prose event, the reputation of the eldest prince respecting the wise and the nobles, not grudges or even broad-minded, would inevitably spread throughout the capital in a very short time. No matter who it is, he could not tell the other party's slightest mistake in this matter. After repeated attacks, the current academy, which is now quite dirty, will probably reverse the impression in the people. In addition, the Wenkuang Pavilion that is about to be established, will be operated according to related matters, and the reputation of the academy will probably be even greater than before.
And if he didn't agree to go, it would be even more amazing. After all, everyone in the capital knew that Qi Lu's reputation was a "talented man". If he didn't go, he was arrogant and began to be arrogant after doing a few good things, and no one took it seriously. As for Ji Wuyu, he would also leave a good reputation and could not be seen at other times, but now it is more than enough to use it to reverse the reputation of the academy.
Then, if Qi Lu was at the grand event of poetry and prose, he would make a popular chapter...
That can only be said that "there are talents in the world who are born." Even if Qi Lu's fame is improved to the next level, it will not hinder Ji Wuyu's plan.
This is a win-win situation. The only losers are the literati who are used as guns. In other words, Qi Lu himself has also become one of these "guns".
"Are you, are you, invitation or threatening?"
After saying this, Qi Lu suddenly realized that he seemed to be saying nonsense.
Sure enough, Ji Wuyu asked in a plain tone: "How can the matter between talents be called a threat? I am very much looking forward to the moment when my brother can overwhelm the heroes..."
It's hypocritical.
Qi Lu secretly complained that this guy is obviously much hypocritical than himself, but he always pretends to be someone else's consideration, which is really annoying.
"Who said someone didn't go?"
Qi Lu pushed the invitation back, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "As for the invitation, someone has it in his hand."
The invitation he had asked to throw away was restored to its original form and placed in the room. His unobedient maid was not thrown away by him at all.
"The eldest prince doesn't need to bother."
Qi Lu smiled sincerely, as if he was going to give people a heart to see the next moment.
In fact, what the mainland is thinking is: I can be a gun for you, and even if you really have that ability, it doesn’t matter if I am willing to be a tool for you. But whether you can do this depends on whether you have the ability or not.
The eldest prince frowned slightly. He really didn't expect Qi Lu to respond like this.
I didn't take his move at all!
"In this way, I will say goodbye."
Ji Wuyu did not care at all. After saying this, Shi Shi left the place without waiting for Qi Lu to see him off.
At this moment, Ji Wuli also laughed and gently patted the folding fan in his hand, "I've said goodbye too."
As a bystander, how could he not understand the hidden evil? Now that he has seen his elder brother leave, he is going to return to the prince's mansion to do something.
There was a tacit understanding between Qi Lu and him that could not be explained clearly, and they could know what the other party was making without guessing. So he nodded and said, "Although it is not as fast as the Academy's transmission speed, it is better than nothing. It's impossible to get the Academy's benefits and benefits."
“That’s natural.”
...
In the ninth prince's mansion, Ji Wuli sat in the hall and ordered Zuo Xiu: "Go to find Huang Xiao in the dark market and rejected the invitation from the eldest prince, but the news that he would go to Shunyilou tomorrow will be passed on, and it will be stated..."
After talking with his ears, Zuo Xiu, who was taught, took the order and left.
...
On the streets at dusk, lion dancers occupy half of the streets, and the other half is occupied by people walking around and watching the fun, making people squeeze in the whole street, heads next to head, but still cannot stop the enthusiasm of the people.
The sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums came from everywhere, and fireworks bloomed from the sky from time to time. The songs played and sang can be heard everywhere, making it a prosperous scene.
Just before the pedestrians on the street reached their peak, two rumors spread to the ears of the people and caused a lot of controversy.
"Have you heard that? The eldest prince is such a noble person, and he personally invited Qi Lu to attend tomorrow's poetry and prose event. The other party was still above his gaze and felt that no one looked down on him. He didn't accept the invitation from the eldest prince, but said that he had it and did not care about the olive branch handed over by the eldest prince. Tsk tsk, before, I thought the eldest prince had never done anything serious and had whispered others in his heart, but now he slapped himself in the face! Qi Lu relied on doing something that shocked the capital and really regarded himself as a figure! Bah! What's the matter!"
"You know, no! I dare say that this news must have been spread by those literati. I don't touch your pig mind. Think about it, Lord Qi Luqi is already in opposition to the literati, so why should I accept the olive branch of the eldest prince? If I had a great conversation with him, wouldn't it become a fence-bearer who was despised? Instead, I think Lord Qi is a pure man and a real man! If you don't want to be birdy, you won't want to birdy you. Don't think it's useless to get close to you in the face of big troubles!"
For a moment, the debate spread at an extremely fast speed...
