Chapter 3 Ningxiang Hou
He Nuo hurriedly ran into the main hall, not even caring that the shoelaces were scattered, most of the people in the Qianran Academy Palace had arrived at this time, but no one cared about He Nuo, they were all whispering, it seemed that something big was going to be announced today.
He Nuo inspected a circle, but didn't find Mu Yanxi, so he randomly picked a corner and sat down, and then looked around, only to see a silver lacquer carved dragon throne behind the vermilion lacquer square platform in the middle, He Nuo's heart sank: "In the past, the teachers of the Qianran School Palace were in the middle of the lecture, but they were not qualified to put the carved dragon throne, and this seat is silver, but not golden, is it ...... Where did he come? ”
Sure enough, while He Nuo was pondering, a eunuch's clear voice sounded, "Ningxiang Hou has arrived!" ”
There was an uproar in the crowd, and the students sitting in the back even stood up, looking forward to it, and were poked in the back of the back row impatiently, apparently angry that their vision was blocked.
"Who is this person, what a big battle?"
He Nuo was stunned for a moment, turned around, and saw that among the students who stood up, only a girl next to him was sitting, seemingly indifferent to the "Ning Xianghou", and the voice just now came from her.
He Nuo took a closer look, this girl was a raw face, and it was not clear why she suddenly appeared in the Qianran School Palace, which only children of the family could enter, but He Nuo still replied politely:
"Ningxiang Hou, one of the four princes, haven't you heard of it?"
"What are the four princes?" The girl shook her head.
He Nuo heard that her accent didn't seem to be from Jinyang, with a bit of a border accent, so he patiently explained, "Back then, Emperor Gao founded the Jinyang Dynasty, and divided the four major vassal states of Northern Yan, Nanwei, Xicang, and Donglan. ”
Speaking of this, He Nuo showed a child's unique fascination, "These four sons are all well-known heroes. ”
The girl spoke straightforwardly, "What about Lan Guo, so useless?" Didn't produce a son? ”
He Nuo smashed his mouth, thinking that this girl was also to the point, it is true that in the past few years, the rivers and rivers of Lan Country have been declining, and there is no figure in the country who can do it.
While the two were talking, I saw a tall and straight figure striding towards the high platform, this person put his hands behind his back, and a cyan robe was curled in the breeze, and his temperament was outstanding.
Shocked by this aura, everyone present, regardless of the front and back seats, stood up unconsciously.
Ning Xianghou sat down calmly, and waved his big hand, "Sit down!" ”
Wow......
A neat seating sound suddenly sounded, Ning Xianghou's voice was not very loud, but the words were sonorous and powerful, and they had a convincing strength.
"Jing Xuan returned to Qianran School Palace today, and when he saw the children, he seemed to be ten years younger." Ning Xianghou's voice softened, and he smiled slightly after speaking.
Seeing the puzzled look on the girl beside him, He Nuo explained in a low voice, "Ningxiang Hou's real name is He Jingxuan, and he is the younger brother of the current saint. ”
"Everyone knows that there are still nine days that is the 100th anniversary of the founding of our Jinyang Dynasty, and in the past, every ten years, a 'Qianran Meeting' would be held, but since the centennial celebration, this name will also be changed, and I will discuss with the current saint to change it to 'Qingcang Society'."
When He Nuo heard "There are still nine days to go", he looked in the direction of Rongqing, only to see that he also turned his head, and the two made eye contact and gave each other a middle finger.
However, when he heard that "Qianran Society" was changed to "Qingcang Society", He Nuo thought, I wonder how his father would react when he heard the news?
"He Qingcang is King Duan, what kind of holy ancestor of yours later?"
Hearing the low voice of the girl next to him ask, He Nuo nodded, but wondered in his heart, since this girl didn't even know the current four princes, how could she know He Qingcang?
However, the girl's next words surprised He Nuo even more, and he heard the girl say very slowly:
"He Qingcang is not a good person."
He Nuo hurriedly reminded in a low voice, "You can't talk nonsense. ”
But the girl put her head to the side and didn't say anything anymore, He Nuo looked around, everyone was attracted by Ning Xianghou's voice, no one cared about the whispering of the two of them, but He Nuo also began to wonder what the identity of this girl was.
Although He Nuo is young, he also knows that this kind of politician cannot be simply measured by "good people" and "bad people", what is implied in this kind of childish words?
He Nuo was stunned for a while, didn't listen carefully to what Ning Xianghou was saying, and then looked up, only to see Ning Xianghou waving his hand, there was one more chair on the main table next to him, and there were two more chairs in the first row.
He Nuo knew very well that in the Qianran School Palace, the seats of the other students were more casual, basically they came first and came first, but the original four seats in the first row could not be moved, which were the protons of the four major vassal states of Beiyan, Nanwei, Donglan, and Xicang in the imperial court. Since Emperor Wenzong, the power of the vassal states has expanded, and in order to achieve the effect of checks and balances, the imperial court has ordered that the princes of the vassal states must come to the imperial court to receive education, and only after a hundred years of the old lord can they return to China to succeed to the throne.
But this beautiful name of "education" is actually a hostage, in order to prevent the vassal states from causing chaos, from a far-reaching point of view, the prince has been educated by the imperial court since childhood, and after the elder succeeds to the throne, it is easier to be of one heart and one mind with the imperial court.
And now, two new seats have been set up next to the four great sons, is there a new son?
The eunuch with a clear voice just now was about to chant again, but Ning Xianghou made a look and said with a smile himself, "Let's welcome the distinguished guests from the Canglang Tribe!" ”
Canglang Division!
These three words set off an uproar in the crowd, and those who know a little bit about the geography of the Jinyang Dynasty know that the Canglang Department is one of the tribes of the Xirong Tribe, the sworn enemy of the Jinyang Dynasty in the west, and the two countries have been fighting for generations, when did they become distinguished guests?
As soon as Ning Xianghou's voice fell, he saw a middle-aged man striding forward, his figure was tall and mighty, his hair was scattered, and the armor of his right arm was embedded with a golden bronze medallion, which was inlaid with a gray wolf with hideous teeth, followed by a little boy, who was not very old, but with a slender figure, much taller than the average Jinyang boy, his skin showed a bronze color, starry eyes and sword eyebrows, and he looked quite handsome.
The middle-aged man proudly bowed his hand to the Marquis of Ningxiang, and said loudly:
"Meng Yuxin, the king of the left sage of the Canglang Department, has seen the Marquis of Ningxiang."
The Marquis of Ningxiang smiled slightly, and heard that this King Zuoxian of the Canglang Department was commensurate with his title, in fact, he wanted to show that his status was higher, but he was worried about the barbarian land of Canglang, and the etiquette system was chaotic, even if he was in the position of the prince, he was self-appointed, and in fact, he could not compare to the Marquis of Ningxiang, who was personally enshrined by his own saint, so he also returned the courtesy, neither humble nor arrogant.
This middle-aged man, that is, Meng Yuxin, the king of Zuoxian, pushed the boy behind him forward and said with a smile, "This is the son of our Canglang Department, the most beloved son of the Great Khan, and the Great Khan is willing to send him, which shows the sincerity of our country." ”
Maybe it was the first time in so many people's occasions, the boy was a little nervous, Ning Xianghou noticed that his hand was trembling slightly, so he stepped forward and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous." He tried to take the boy's hand, but the boy shook his hand, broke free, said, "I'm not nervous," and pinned his head to the side.
Meng Yuxin laughed a few times, and said in a round field, "Our family Xiaochen has been riding a horse for a long time, and his hands are just a little numb. ”
Ning Xianghou nodded and asked, "I heard the messenger say that the princess of your country has also arrived, I don't know if it is this kind of public occasion, it is inconvenient to show up, and I have prepared a cold house below, I don't know ......."
Hearing this, the boy actually laughed too, Meng Yuxin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Ning Xianghou said that your sister will be shy?" Hahaha. ”
When Ningxiang Hou was puzzled, Meng Yuxin said in a low voice, "This girl is playful, she has already arrived." Then he said loudly, "Meng Ruo, come out!" ”
A girl in the crowd reluctantly stood up and slowly walked to the front row.
He Nuo's mouth couldn't be closed, because the princess named "Meng Ruo" was the girl who had been beside her just now, asking questions about herself!
