One

Just as Han Wen thought, the distinguished guests of Confucianism at this banquet did have a great background, and they were not one, but three. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The head of Confucianism led a group of disciples to stand in front of the vermilion gate in an orderly manner according to the position of dignity and inferiority, the head of the sect Han Yuzi began to prepare for the competition early in the morning, and his father, the county magistrate, sent a letter the day before yesterday, and one of the three distinguished guests who came today was the last to come temporarily, and he did not know his identity, and his father only told him that this distinguished guest was more noble than General Long Wei, so he did not dare to slack off.

The air in the early morning is fresh, the birds are singing and the insects are chirping, the branches and leaves are stained with dew, the air by the sea has always been quite cold when the sun rises, and the Confucian disciples who are waiting in front of the door early abide by the door rules, even if it is cold, they do not dare to break the door rules, and follow the etiquette to straighten their backs and face solemnly.

The five masters of Confucianism arrived one by one, Han Yuzi, as the head, was in the first place, and there were two people standing on each side of the back, namely the first master of words and deeds, the second uncle, and the third uncle. The five young talents stood together, which was pleasing to the eye. It is no wonder that the world has said that the forests and rivers of Dongzi Mountain, Zhong Lingyu are beautiful, one mountain raises one side of water, and one side of water is pregnant with one person. The five masters of Confucianism are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and their talents are flying, and they are the models of Confucianism in the world, and they are the most dazzling talents in Dongzi.

Three quarters have passed, half a quarter has passed the time of the morning meal, the waiting guests have not yet arrived, Han Yuzi and others have not had any displeasure, everyone strictly abides by the rules of etiquette, even if the guests have not arrived, they still maintain the demeanor of Corporal Lixian.

At this time, the sound of people and horses stepping came from outside the bluestone brick road, and gradually approached.

In a short time, about 20 warriors in green clothes came across their horses, they galloped with sharp weapons, and the sergeants were vigorous, and they restrained their horses a few feet away from the vermilion gate, and the horses neighed and the formation was soaring. Seeing this situation, the Confucian people did not take any action, and kept Tairuo.

The leader rode on the steed and bowed his head and announced: "The crown prince and the second prince are already a hundred meters away, please wait for a while." ”

Han Yuzi bowed to the man on the horse. "Long time no see, General Long Wei. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince deigned to descend to the humble house, and they missed the welcome and hoped to forgive their sins. ”

The man on the horse was dressed in green clothes and armor, holding a bronze sword, without wearing head armor, with black hair tied back of his head, and a neat forehead, revealing a jade-faced face. This person is the famous Longwei general in Southern Chu - Huangfu Yan.

The royal family of Southern Chu takes the emperor as the surname, and there are not many children in the clan, and His Majesty only has two sons and one daughter, as well as three younger brothers. General Long Wei's surname is Lu, after the general, his father Lu Yan is an invincible marshal, commanding all the soldiers of Southern Chu, in charge of the forbidden army and governing the frontier, such a big man with high merit should be feared by the royal family, but Marshal Lu Yan is a friend of Emperor Yuan Jing since childhood, the two are like brothers and sisters, and they have made an oath of life and death. Therefore, Emperor Yuan Jing trusted and attached great importance to Lu Yan, Marshal Lu Yan was also a righteous and upright good man, wholeheartedly protecting the Lord, serving the country wholeheartedly, fighting bloodily on the frontier for half his life, and made a lot of meritorious contributions, and the Lu family also became a prestigious general. Marshal Lü Yan's only son, Lü Yan, has been valued by Emperor Yuan Jing since he was born. Lu Yan supported Emperor Yuan Jing meritoriously, and the monarch should be gracious to his supporters. So, a precedent was set to give the emperor's surname to foreign clansmen, and Lu Yan's surname was changed to the emperor's surname, and the word Fu was given.

Huangfu Yan grew up in the palace since he was a child, and became friends with the two sons of Emperor Yuan Jing, and practiced martial arts together, known as the three heroes of the royal family, and the five masters of Dongzi. Huang Fuyan began to fight on the battlefield with his father at the age of sixteen, although he was young, he had a fatherly style of using soldiers to send generals, and often won big victories by surprise, and was known as a ghost general, becoming the brightest star in the army. Emperor Yuan Jing favored him and gave him the title of General Longwei, which means "the victor of Tianlong Zhenzi." ”

General Long Wei not only has military merits, but also the emperor's grace, and he is also a talent. From the Four Books and Five Classics in elementary school, he has a lot of insight into literature. Such a young general who is both civil and military is naturally a beloved in the hearts of girls, he is handsome and handsome, righteous, and has a heavy position, he is a man who squeezes his head out of the Southern Chu people and wants to marry his daughter, but there are many beautiful women, he can't look down on any of them, and he has never married a wife or concubine to this day, and his father is not worried, so he goes.

Han Yuzi had long heard of Huangfu Yan's reputation. In his early years, he went to the imperial capital and met him, but he only had a one-sided relationship, and the two did not have any intersection.

The head of Confucianism was no stranger to himself, which made General Long Wei a little surprised, and then thought about it and thought of that side in his early years. He was a samurai and a general, and his memory was naturally unusual, and he quickly remembered the events of his youth. At the palace banquet, he saw a young man of his own age, looking at himself with calm eyes. That kind of look shouldn't have been on the body of an underage boy, but he saw it for real. It was also at that glance that he knew the name of the young man, Han Yuzi, the only son of Han Che, who had just lived in the position of the magistrate of Dongzi County, and one of the three sages and saints who were famous all over the world, a student of Xun Fuzi. Unexpectedly, a few years later, the two met again, one became a general, and the other became a wise man.

"You're courteous, Mr. Han. General Long Wei dismounted and returned the salute.

Seeing this, Han Yuzi led the people behind him to worship again.

"Yo. What are you doing?" Suddenly, a lazy and ruffian voice floated from behind General Long Wei, like gold falling to the ground, and resounded in everyone's hearts.

When General Long Wei heard this joking words, he quietly moved to the side, stood sideways, and bowed his waist with fists clenched. "His Royal Highness the Second Prince. ”

"Second prince. "Confucianism is respectful in unison, the etiquette is decent, and there is no loss of manners.

At some point, the two carriages that arrived stopped side by side among the twenty or so warriors, and the voice came out from one of them again: "The eldest brother and I have long heard that the five great talents of Confucianism are virtuous, and I have the opportunity to see them today, and I would like you to give me some advice!" After finishing speaking, the door on the right was pushed open from the inside, and a graceful man with a slender figure and beautiful brocade clothes came down...... Evil spirit, and a very obvious ruffian, this can be known from his speech and demeanor.

A Confucian disciple does not squint and looks pleasant, but in his heart, he has many opinions about this rumored second prince who is greedy for fun and cynical, and Qi Qi gave him a low score, lamenting that the rumors are honest and not deceiving.

"The second prince is serious, His Royal Highness is a distinguished guest, and it is already a blessing for us to come to Confucianism, how to talk about teaching. His Royal Highness's demeanor is obvious to him, and teaching is not something we can do. Han Yuzi humbly replied to his words. Teaching the prince is not idle to play, words and deeds are on the right side of the senior brother, hearing the words of the second prince who seem to be joking but actually have something in them, I can't help but be shocked, it seems that the information received is a little true.

Huang Li pursed his lips and didn't take Han Yuzi's apology seriously. "These words are beautiful, I am notorious, and you have said that I am a demeanor, and I can see it, I don't know if you are praising me or ridiculing me. ”

"Don't dare. He had something in his words, and his meaning was clear on the surface, and Han Yuzi and others bowed their heads and pleaded guilty.

The personalities of these two princes are really as uncertain as the rumors.

"Come on, you readers are more powerful than storytellers, and you are more serious. He scoffed unabashedly. Some people's faces were moved with anger, but Wujie was still serious and serious, and he was never moved by his jokes.

Suddenly, another carriage came down with a son who was also gorgeously dressed, but compared to the purple clothes of the second prince, he was dressed in white brocade, which was rare to see handsome and elegant, and his temperament was fresh and had the atmosphere of a scribe who was immersed in poetry and books like Wujie, but it was more extravagant. Let people know at a glance that this is an elegant and easy-to-talk lord.

He is like a person made of warm and warm jade, speaking like a spring breeze. "Leave, we are here to visit Xun Fuzi and all the sages, such rudeness, unworthy of royal demeanor, and I don't apologize to Mr. Han. ”

"It's rude. The second prince apologized to Han Yuzi nonchalantly, without any sincerity.

Han Yuzi cultivated his kung fu to a deep realm, and he didn't care about the offense of the second prince, nor did he care about his lazy apology. "Don't dare to be. Han Yuzi responded. "I have heard of Mr. Han's name for a long time, and when I saw it today, he was really the best among people. The sound of a spring breeze sounded, and the words were full of respect.

General Long Wei was in awe when he faced this elegant son. "Your Royal Highness the Prince, one of the three guests invited today sent a letter this morning, and on the pretext that he could not come, he specially recommended another person to come instead. ”

Gongzi is the crown prince of Southern Chu, Huang Yuan, the sibling brother of Huang Li.

"That is the case, Mr. Lo thanked that gentleman on my behalf. The crown prince said in a warm voice and said to Han Yuzi: "I have always wanted to see how the Confucian students who have been famous for thousands of years have inherited the avenue of Confucius, and I hope that Mr. Han can introduce one or two." ”

"Obey the Prince's orders. Han Yuzi promised.

"What's there to see about the little nerdy place. The second prince opened the folding fan and muttered quietly.

The words and deeds on the other side frowned slightly, and his mind was still thinking about who the "he" in the conversation between General Long Wei and the prince just now was, so that the prince was willing to wait, and he was not angry at his resignation. This made Master Shizun very curious about the origin of his identity.

Two

Han Yuzi led the crown prince and the second prince into the main courtyard, passed the covered bridge, and came to the hall of the martial arts that had been prepared early. The hall is spacious and bright, simple and exquisite, showing the Confucian style. The prince sat at the head, and a row of people sat on each side until he reached the gate. According to etiquette, the prince's left hand side is Confucianism and others, and on the right hand side are people in the empire.

On such an important occasion, no one dares to slack off and make mistakes. But the second prince is the frivolous person, and he is the only one in the hall who sits casually, not as upright as others, and has good manners. He sat on the mat with one leg on the ground, the other bent on, his feet on the mat, looking disrespectful, shaking his fan, his eyes half-closed, and if it had not been for the nod of his head, everyone would have thought he was asleep.

There was no comment on his impolite behavior, and no one even reminded him. Because the crown princes on the throne are just smiling, who else dares to say that this second prince is not, he is the most beloved son of Emperor Yuan Jing.

The crown prince had been talking about academic topics with Han Yuzi, the head of Confucianism, and the two were close to each other and not very loud, so the others just listened quietly.

The first generation of words and deeds is smaller than that of senior brother Han Yuzi and second senior brother, and only sits below the second senior brother, so he is opposite General Long Wei, and the second prince is above General Long Wei. He kept looking at the second prince with his spare eyes, and his intuition told him that this highness was obviously not on the list of distinguished guests for this competition, but he was temporarily coming to Confucianism, which was really unpredictable. According to his senior brother's wishes, he added an extra seat under the prince's first place, and specially reserved it for this honorable prince.

Today's martial arts competition is not so simple.
