Chapter 55: His Royal Highness King Qing
Xia Cunxian was so angry that he was smoking, and it was too late to get off the horse to stop Wen Changju at this time, so he had to scold in his heart: "What a shrunken turtle Wen Lao'er, he dared to come out at this time, he was really a wreck." It's a pity, it's a pity, I came today, I failed, and after I went back, I was afraid that I would be scolded by my father again. It's nothing to be scolded by my father, but it's just that Uncle Sanwang is cheaper, which is really hateful. Presumably, at this time, Uncle Sanwang was secretly proud, celebrating his chess mastery, while laughing at the incompetence of this king, which really annoyed me. ”
Xia Cun was stopped by Ye Shisheng first, Shi Sanxin and the others did not dare to take a step forward, and everyone had no power to fight back when they faced the servants, not to mention that it was now a forbidden army with bright armor and murderous intent, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and they all lowered their heads.
Seeing this scene, Wen Changju was even more imposing, his hand was on the black list, and the corners of his mouth showed a contemptuous smile, and he was about to tear it off hard...... Disappointment, loss and helplessness in the eyes of everyone, as if the black list pinned their hopes on the ten-year cold window, once torn off, it means that the previous achievements are lost, maybe it will be difficult to get ahead again, and in case today's matter is investigated, even if you win the Jinshi, you may be removed from the fame.
Thinking about it this way, many people are discouraged and almost desperate.
Although Wen Changju is not sure that Xia Xiang is behind today's incident, he also knows that Xia Xiang must have something to do with this matter, and he is also strange why he leaked the news, where did Xia Xiang learn the news that he was off the list? But no matter where Xia Xiang learned the news, it doesn't matter, when he unveils the black list, faces the emperor, and sues Xia Xiang in front of the emperor, Xia Xiang still wants to enter the career of Zhongjinshi? I'm afraid that even my life will be lost. posted a black list, besieged the tribute courtyard, incited the crowd to make trouble, several charges were pressed on Xia Xiang, how could Xia Xiang be immortal?
Xia Xiang, Xia Xiang, don't blame the official for deliberately suppressing you, it's really that what you did was too unpleasing to the official, and the third prince deliberately wanted you to fall off the list, who is to blame for making you a student of Li Dingshan? Complaining only that Li Dingshan didn't know the current affairs, the third prince had the heart to let him go, not only did he not surrender to the third prince, but also secretly went against the third prince, the third prince only won the fame of his student Xia Xiang and did not take his life, which can be regarded as generosity.
Wen Changju felt a slight pity in his heart, Xia Xiang was indeed a scholar, and his articles were splendid, but he was born at the wrong time, so he could only blame himself for his bad luck. Fortunately, although Xia Xiang's article did not achieve Xia Xiang, it could achieve Cai Bei, and even if Xia Xiang died, he would die without regrets.
The pity in Wen Changju's heart flashed, his heart was as hard as iron, now the situation is undecided, sooner or later because of the battle for the throne, there will be a bloody storm, there is no room for hesitation, compared with countless second-grade and third-grade officials who have been demoted out of Beijing, what is Xia Xiang? It's just a mustard. Cao Mustard still wants to turn the sky upside down? Don't. Let you live and live, let you die and die, accept your fate!
Wenchang raised his hand and grabbed the edge of the black list, and coldly glanced at the crooked four big words "Xia Xiang fell off the list" on the black list. It's really sad, with a slight movement of his right hand, he ripped off a corner of the black list.
"Whoosh......"
A sharp and piercing sound suddenly rose, and before Wen Changju could react, there was a "ding" sound, and a rocket suddenly nailed to the top of the black list. The black list is made of rice paper, which burns immediately when it encounters fire, and burns clean in a blink of an eye.
"Hahahaha......"
A person's hearty laughter accompanied by the sound of the horse's hooves, from far to near, immediately a person, jade-faced brocade clothes, graceful not to say, with a sword at the waist, a bow in his hand, a person like a tiger and a horse like a dragon, riding a horse to Xia Cunxian, first looked at Ye Shisheng, and smiled at Xia Cunxian: "Seeing the majesty of His Royal Highness the King, dare to let the palace marshal lead the horse for you, yes, yes." ”
Wen Changju's face turned pale with fright, his back was against the wall, and he almost didn't sit on the ground, but fortunately Chen Feng and Gao Hai helped him up, he was shocked, and a few pieces of paper ash fell on his head, extremely embarrassed.
"Who is so daring to shoot ......" Halfway through his words, Wen Changju closed his mouth in horror. Of course, he didn't dare to say more because of the strength of the arrow, but the arrow body was like a giant python with incomparably gold-plated and silver-plated rockets, which was obviously for royal use.
Looking at people again, although Wen Changju had his back against the wall and Chen Feng and Gao Hai to support him, his legs were still weak and he sat on the ground with his buttocks. He recognized at a glance who it was, and it was His Royal Highness King Qing, the fourth prince.
When Xia Cunxian saw that it was the fourth prince who arrived, he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and bowed: "Uncle Wang, don't torture your nephew, in front of Uncle Wang, I am not seeing the king, just the king's nephew." ”
Ye Shisheng was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down to salute: "The lower official has seen His Royal Highness King Qing." ”
Xia Cun was first named the king of Jian, and he was on the same level as King Qing, but in terms of seniority, he was a nephew, and he couldn't mess up the seniority, not to mention the arrow of King Qing, the bow was like a thunderbolt, and he was shocked to help him out of the siege, not to mention, but also let Wen Changju sit on the ground in fright, relieved, really relieved.
"The prince and nephew don't have to be polite, hehe." King Qing dismounted and helped Xia Cunxian up, and glanced at Ye Shisheng casually, "Xiaguan? The marshal of the palace is not under the control of this king, and there is no need to call himself an inferior official in front of this king, and this king is not your superior. ”
As soon as these words came out, Xia Cunxian was greatly relieved, he had never felt that Uncle Wang was so interesting before, but today he learned that Uncle Wang was worthy of being Uncle Wang, and it was already an amazing move to hit the black list with an arrow, and at this time there were amazing words, which made him extremely admired.
It is said that King Qing is obsessed with calligraphy, painting and Buddhism, and does not ask about the world, but it turns out that King Qing speaks with a needle hidden in the cotton, and it is also very sharp, Xia Cunxian and King Qing do not have much contact, and it is rare to see several times throughout the year, so the impression of King Qing is still in the previous prejudice. Today's events made him look at King Qing with admiration.
Being beaten by King Qing, Ye Shisheng's face remained unchanged, and he said casually: "Yes, His Royal Highness King Qing." Although the tone was respectful, the demeanor was full of pride.
If Xia Cunxian was Ye Shisheng anyway, he always looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, but King Qing smiled faintly and waved his hand: "There is nothing for you here, you can go." ”
Ye Shisheng didn't leave, and said proudly: "The lower official has military affairs in his ......"
"Okay...... King Qing gently pushed Ye Shisheng away and strode forward, "Your military affairs have been burned by this king's arrow, and it is useless to stay, why waste any more time?" Hurry back to restore your life, that is to say, the black list was shot by this king with an arrow, and the corpse was destroyed, and now only paper ashes are left, no, the ashes are gone. ”
King Qing said it so bluntly, but Ye Shisheng looked confused: "What His Highness said, the lower officials don't understand. The lower officials were ordered to come, just to protect the safety of the Gongyuan and Wenshangshu......"
After Wen Chang sat on the ground, he came to his senses again after a while, and he didn't care about straightening the official hat on his head, and hurriedly pushed everyone away and came to King Qing. Before he had time to give a salute to King Qing, King Qing looked concerned and bowed: "Duke Wen is frightened, this king has made amends to you." ”
Wen Changju has always heard that the corporal of Qing Wang Lixian, he is modest, and he never thought that he would bow to him first with the dignity of the dignified prince, he was both useful and extremely proud in his heart, and he was about to return the salute, but King Qing spoke again.
"There was such a big event in the Gongyuan, Duke Wen invited the king, invited the officials of the Shangjing Mansion, and also alarmed the commander of the palace Ye Shisheng, what a big pomp, why didn't you report to the king?" King Qing smiled lovely, and knocked his forehead, "Let this king think about it, this king is old, and his memory is not very clear, the Ministry of Rites and the Tribute Institute should be under the jurisdiction of this king, I don't remember that the emperor has taken back his order, Duke Wen, has the emperor taken back his life and this king has forgotten?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Wen Changju's legs instantly weakened, and he fell to the ground with a "plop" sound, and burst into tears: "His Royal Highness King Qing, it is all the dereliction of duty of the lower officials, and the lower officials are to blame for their negligence, please let His Royal Highness King Qing punish the crimes of the lower officials!" ”
"Xiaguan? Wang nephew, Duke Wen claims to be an official in front of this king, it is not considered to be overstepping the system, right? King Qing turned around and asked the king, and the smile on his face was undiminished, and he was as kind as a spring breeze and as calm as the autumn moon.
"Uncle Wang governs the Ministry of Rites, and Wen Shangshu is Uncle Wang's subordinate official, which is in line with etiquette. However, Uncle Wang said that Wen Shangshu did not report the matter to Uncle Wang, so how did Uncle Wang know that something had happened to the Gongyuan? Xia Cun squinted his eyes and looked at Wen Chang carefully, with a hint of evil smile on the corner of his mouth, "Wen Shangshu is old, his memory is not good, and his eyes are not very good. ”
Wen Changju was caught between the two princes, and his words were not good: "Xiaguan, Xiaguan ......"
"This king is just returning from hunting, and he accidentally passed through this place." King Qing picked up Wen Changju with both hands, and slapped the dust on his knees for Wen Changju, "Gong Wen is old, so there is no need to be polite." What happened, I hope that Duke Wen will solve the doubts of this king. ”
Hunt? Uncle Wang is really good at laughing, Xia Cunxian laughed secretly in his heart, every time Uncle Wang hunts, he has to bring at least dozens of entourage, and he will go out of the city from the West City Gate and go all the way to the West Mountain, which is exactly the opposite direction of the Gongyuan.
As soon as he raised his head, Xia Cun saw Shi Sanxin standing aside, with a humble attitude, and his heart moved, beckoning Shi Sanxin to come over, and introduced King Qing: "Uncle Wang, this person's name is Shi Sanxin, he is the examiner of this year's big competition, he is honest and outspoken. ”
Shi Sanxin sincerely bowed to King Qing in fear: "Student Shi Sanxin greets His Royal Highness King Qing. ”
King Qing smiled gently, and helped Shi Sanxin with his own hands: "No courtesy, no courtesy." Shi Sanxin? What are the three hearts? ”
"One heart is loyal to the king, one heart is to serve the country, one heart is for the people, and it is for three hearts." Shi Sanxin was extremely excited, although he almost lost his life today, he was blessed by misfortune, not only got acquainted with King Jian, but also met King Qing, try to ask the world, who would have him so lucky? He firmly believes that it must be the ancestors who accumulate virtue to be blessed today.
"Not good, not good." King Qing shook his head and smiled, and groaned slightly, "Loyalty to the country and serving the people is one heart, why should it be divided into three hearts?" ”
Shi Sanxin heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, and bowed his head again: "Shi Yixin thanks the prince for the name." ”
The surrounding examinees were all embarrassed to stir in their hearts, only to see the king's arrogance and arrogance, so that everyone did not dare to approach, although the king intended to win people's hearts, but it still made everyone feel alienated. King Qing is very different, King Qing is kind and approachable, like a classmate rather than a high-ranking prince. Naming Shi Sanxin Shi Yixin has made countless examinees believe that King Qing is the master worth following.
It was not who took the lead, and he bowed to King Qing from afar: "The student has seen His Royal Highness King Qing." ”
"The student has seen His Royal Highness King Qing!"
"The grass people have seen His Royal Highness King Qing!"
All of a sudden, the voices of King Qing came and went, although King Qing did not respond one by one, but he also gestured to everyone, and the smile on his face was as bright as the clear sky. Subsequently, King Qing and King Jian, under the leadership of Wen Changju, entered the Tribute Academy.
Ye Shisheng stood alone outside the Gongyuan, and saw that although the examinees had not dispersed, they had already dispersed in groups. The black list on the wall has turned to ashes, but King Qing's arrow is still on it. Suddenly, he realized that he didn't know whether to stay or leave.
This is the end of a farce.
In the tea shop, Li Dingshan and Song Chaodu glanced at each other, and both of them were stunned.
"I can't imagine that King Qing has such a means." Li Dingshan thought that he knew King Qing as a person, and what King Qing did today opened his eyes, but at the same time, he had great doubts in his heart, "Brother Song, could it be that you reported this to King Qing?" ”
"How could it be me?" Song Chaodu shook his head, his eyes puzzled, "Presumably it's not to see the king, and it won't be Wen Changju, so who invited King Qing to come forward?" Could it be Xia Xiang? No, Xia Xiang didn't know King Qing, and he couldn't enter King Qing's Mansion for half a step. ”
Li Dingshan pondered for a long time, and suddenly applauded: "It's really Xia Xiang's wonder, haha, Xia Xiang's move is a stroke of genius." ”
"How did Brother Li conclude that it was Xia Xiang's wonderful?" Song Chaodu was amused by Li Dingshan's frivolity, "Although Xia Xiang is your beloved apprentice, you don't have to think so highly of him." ”
"Hehe, Brother Song doesn't know, this matter must be Xia Xiang's handiwork. From the black list to King Qing, it is a very clear line, however, there seems to be something lacking in the middle, and there is a lack of a key person who connects the previous and the next......" Li Dingshan thought about it carefully and smiled with relief, "This matter mostly fell on Cao Yongguo." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Song Chaodu didn't know much about Xia Xiang, and although he had known Li Dingshan for many years, he still didn't believe that Xia Xiang and his cloth could mobilize forces from all sides.
Li Dingshan didn't answer, but smiled faintly: "It's better to wait for Brother Song to see Xia Xiang, and then ask him in person." ”
"Sir, the prince asks you to return home immediately."
A person appeared from the screen behind Li Dingshan, bowed down towards Li Dingshan, and bent down: "Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao are rushing to the Tribute Courtyard." ”
"Got it." Li Dingshan turned around and rushed to the person and said, "Prepare the car, I will go to the palace with Song Shilang." ”
"Yes." Dong Si answered, turned around and went downstairs.
After Dong Si and Dong Qiniang returned to Beijing from Zhending, they were fine after a short period of recuperation. Because Xie Jianhua was seriously injured, he was temporarily responsible for protecting Li Dingshan.
Downstairs, Dong Qiniang, dressed as a man, stared at the two horses not far away, with hatred and murder in her eyes.
The two people who rode horses to the Gongyuan were Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao.
Gao Jianyuan didn't forget it, Yan Hao was the mortal enemy who almost killed the two, if there was no Xie Jianhua to help, the two would have been buried at this time. Dong Si quietly pulled Dong Qi Niang's sleeve and whispered: "Qi Niang, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, don't miss Mr. Li's big event." ”
"I'm not a gentleman, I'm a lady." Dong Qiniang snorted coldly, "Yan Hao, one day I will kill you with my own hands, and I will break your body into thousands of pieces." ”
