Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

She was just dressed simply.

The donkey cart was purchased by Zhao Mingcheng.

Two strong servants cleared the way.

A maid followed,

Li Qingzhao headed towards Jinming Pond in the west of the city.

Jinming Pond in spring

There seemed to be an unusually large number of tourists.

This royal garden,

Because the new Ming Dynasty increased the number of opening days...

It has now become almost like a "Tokyo People's Park".

"Ta-da!"

Before even leaving the city,

Then the bells of the clock tower rang.

That heavy hammer, a four-sided pendulum clock.

It has become an everyday thing.

No more locals are watching.

However, there are also some craftsmen,

To make a replica,

But they dared not inquire recklessly.

Chapter 1866 Discussing Poetry on a Painted Boat

Fortunately, the Holy Emperor was benevolent.

A notice was posted a few days ago:

Any merchant only needs to take out one thousand strings of cash.

You can buy pendulum clock blueprints there.

It is estimated that in another two months,

Small pendulum clocks will be available for sale in Tokyo.

The donkey cart drove to the outside of Jinmingchi Garden.

You have to pay to park here.

There is no entrance fee to the park.

But you have to pay parking fees.

Including nearby restaurants and shops,

They were all contracted out to private merchants.

All income belongs to the royal family.

Painted boats on the lake

It also belongs to the royal family's property.

It was also contracted out.

When Li Qingzhao boarded the ship

Nearly ten people had gathered on the pleasure boat.

Everyone greeted her warmly upon seeing her.

"My older sister is here."

Wang nodded slightly.

He didn't even get up to greet them.

Li Qingzhao disliked this cousin.

They believed he was too cunning.

Moreover, ever since Qin Hui became a vice minister,

Wang became increasingly arrogant and domineering.

At the same time, they became even more deliberately eager to curry favor with the powerful and influential.

They discovered there were still men inside the pleasure boat.

Li Qingzhao was somewhat surprised.

Zhou, the daughter-in-law of Zhao Quan, the Minister of Works, said...

"We invited several newly appointed scholars today,"

"One of them was even the top student in the second division."

Li Qingzhao asked, "Isn't Lady Yu coming?"

“She said she had something to do at home and would come to the gathering another day,” Zhou said.

Li Qingzhao smiled gently.

I thought to myself that Yu Shanwei was indeed cautious.

I will absolutely not have any contact with the newly appointed scholars.

After waiting a while longer,

They boarded the ship one after another.

More than twenty people participated in the poetry gathering.

Li Yi, ranked sixth in the imperial examination.

We received a warm welcome.

He enjoys feeling valued.

Well, what can I say about this person?

He does have talent.

But that's about it.

Historically, he was able to become the top scholar in the imperial examination.

It had a bit of a stroke of luck.

When the Jin army marched south...

The garrison commander thought the top scholar was too young.

It's not worth dying in battle.

Li Yi was told to leave the city as soon as possible to avoid disaster.

Li Yi was the second-in-command in the city.

They actually abandoned the city and ran away.

He found his mother outside the city.

Planning to leave with his mother

As a result, he was scolded by his own mother.

"If I leave,"

"You have no will to defend it to the death."

"You should go back and defend the city,"

"I will stay and live and die with you."

Under his mother's lecturing,

Li Yi returned to the city.

We swear to live and die with the entire city.

The morale of the defending troops immediately soared.

Some are greedy for life,

But they are not afraid of death.

"Madam Yu is not here today,"

"Then I will boldly preside over the poetry gathering,"

Wang began her opening remarks.

"These men are all outstanding talents of our time,"

"It's truly remarkable that a newly appointed high school student can discuss poetry with women like us..."

"Don't dare take it!"

Several scholars quickly spoke up.

After chatting for a while, Wang said again,

"The Emperor is at the Qionglin Banquet,"

"But he composed a poem for the emperor,"

"This is the only poem that the officials have shown to the public."

"This is truly rare."

"It should be read and appreciated."

Li Qingzhao listened with some curiosity.

Upon reading Zhao Yuan's doggerel,

He immediately burst out laughing.

"This poem... is excellent!"

Wang said solemnly, "The Emperor's great work has its own profound meaning."

Li Qingzhao smiled without saying a word.

After all, it was the emperor's work.

She really can't be as sharp-tongued as before.

Li Yi quickly explained.

"The Emperor is at the Qionglin Banquet,"

“claiming that he is not good at writing,”

Therefore, I can only write a limerick.

"And you say it's laughable,"

"That's far too modest."

"Although this poem does not conform to rhyme scheme,"

"However, its vision is lofty,"

"This fully demonstrates the emperor's great talent and strategic vision."

"Indeed,"

Another scholar also said,
