Chapter 54 is full of twists and turns
As soon as he finished speaking, the black-clothed man who had just cut off Guo Xiaoer's right hand came first, and slashed out at Wang Eryi from behind him, and the knife flashed, and Wang Eryi's head fell to the ground. But he could not restrain himself, and he ran forward a few steps before he fell to the ground, and fell under the hooves of the man on the horse.
The human head fell to the ground, blood flowed all over the ground, and Wang Eryi's human head rolled out a few feet away and rolled to Shi Sanxin's feet.
The man in black drew a knife and wiped the blood on the knife on Wang Eryi's body, put the knife on his chest, and said sharply: "The official of the Shangjing Mansion intended to plot against him, and he assassinated His Royal Highness and was killed on the spot!" ”
Seeing that Wang Xia Cunxian dusted his sleeves in disgust: "If you assassinate this king, you will die innocently." Someone, hurry to the side, save my horse's hooves. He lifted the reins, took a few steps forward to avoid Wang Eryi's body, dismounted and came to Shi Sanxin, his face was kind, and he comforted him softly, "The imperial examination is fair and clear, and it is related to the general situation of the imperial court. ”
Shi Sanxin was already so frightened by Wang Eryi's head that he didn't dare to move, Wang Eryi's dead head was just a few feet away from him, and a pair of frightened eyes were still staring at him. Seeing His Royal Highness the King so polite and virtuous, he woke up from the shock, hurriedly got up, and bowed deeply to the king: "The student has met His Royal Highness. This year's big competition, I'm afraid there is a suspicion of fraud. The list will be released tomorrow, and today the black list of 'Xia Xiang is off the list', let me ask thousands of unsuccessful exams, why did anyone know that Xia Xiang was off the list in advance? There must be something strange in it, and I hope to see His Royal Highness the King preside over justice for the students of the world, and also return the Daxia Science Field to a clear breeze and bright moon. ”
"Okay." Seeing that Wang Xia Cun bent down first to pat the dust on Shi Sanxin's body, and the image of being close to the people and loving the people moved everyone around him, he turned to the guards and said, "Order, protect the black list, no matter who wants to take it down, it will not be allowed." ”
"Yes!"
Several guards responded in unison, and the momentum was astonishing.
"See the wisdom of His Royal Highness." Shi Sanxin recovered from the fright, and while he was moved, he was willing to repay the favor of seeing His Royal Highness the king, and he made a circle around him, "Today, I am fortunate to see His Royal Highness the king uphold justice and save my next life." In the same year, you swear here, from now on, only His Royal Highness will look forward. ”
Xia Cunxian was secretly happy, Shi Sanxin was so sensible, loyal in public, he was a talent, and he could be of great use.
As soon as Shi Sanxin finished speaking, the examinees around him were silent, and there was no response, which made him embarrassed for a while. After a while, I don't know who shouted: "Only see His Royal Highness the king!" ”
Then the examinees present all responded, and for a while, the voices came and went, echoing and hovering over the Gongyuan.
"I only see His Royal Highness the king!"
Lian Ruohan shook his head slightly, Xia Cunxian was so eager and obviously enveloped people's hearts, his methods were still too straightforward and shallow, compared to the unfathomable Third Prince, he was far from being an opponent.
"Lady, when will you leave to see Xia Langjun?" Ling'er saw that Lian Ruohan was delaying and thought she had forgotten about it, so she reminded her.
"There's no need to rush now." Lian Ruohan smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, when she just saw Xia Xiang's black list, she wanted to be anxious to see Xia Xiang, she wanted to inform Xia Xiang of this, judging from the situation just now, Xia Xiang not only already knew about it, but obviously started to fight back behind his back, and she didn't know if Xia Xiang invited her to see Wang, but she knew very well that the appearance of seeing Wang was not accidental, and someone must be pushing behind it. It's because she wants to see what other important people will appear.
What Lian Ruohan didn't know was that there was a tea shop across the street from Gongyuan, and on the second floor of the tea shop, there were two people sitting opposite each other, drinking tea while looking down at the big drama at the entrance of Gongyuan.
"Seeing that the king is still a little reckless...... "The person sitting on the top is about forty years old, of medium stature, not fat or thin, wearing a dark shirt, square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, square and majestic, he shook his head slightly, "Arrogant, murderous, and popular people's hearts, how can you achieve great things if you are so rash and impulsive?" ”
The person sitting at the bottom of the head held a folding fan in his hand, opened and closed it, and smiled lightly: "Brother Song is too worried, seeing that His Royal Highness is not a great talent, although he has the heart to achieve great things, he has no chance of achieving great things." ”
"The black list thing, is it really Xia Xiang's doing?" The person at the top smiled slightly, and did not mention the topic of seeing the king, "This Xia Xiang really has a bit of skill." But if it weren't for you and me behind the scenes, his blacklist plan would probably only be a farce, and it would eventually come to an end. ”
Li Dingshan laughed: "Brother Song really thinks that Xia Xiang will only post a black list?" He must have a hand. From what I know about him, the black list is just the beginning, and there will be things to come. ”
The person sitting at the top is Song Chaodu, who has just been transferred from the household department to the Ministry of Works.
Song Chaodu's eyes were indifferent, staring intently at the situation downstairs: "Xia Xiang first came to the capital, his foothold is not stable, and his foundation is still shallow, what else can he do?" In addition to seeing the king, what else does Brother Li have to do? ”
Li Dingshan pinched a melon seed and put it in his mouth, was stunned, and smiled: "Xia Xiang's connections in the capital at this time, I'm afraid that even you and I don't know how wide it is." Well, let's not talk about his arrangement for the time being, in addition to informing King Jing, I also discussed it with Chen Feng. ”
"With Chen Shilang as the internal response, things will be much easier." Song Chaodu nodded, "But I have to say that the matter of posting the black list is a clever move, and now that the matter has become big, I am afraid that it will not be possible to end calmly." The three princes have words of suffering, but it is inconvenient for them to come forward directly, and the Ministry of Rites and the Tribute Court are not under his jurisdiction. It's just that according to the temperament of the third prince, he will never sit still, and he will definitely try to cover up this matter. And to cover up this matter, we must first remove the black list, if you see that the king has to rely on it and not leave, and keep it until tomorrow, when the list is released, I am afraid that everyone in the city will know about it. ”
Seeing that the king doesn't leave, who dares to take it off if he has to protect the list? When the list is released tomorrow, if the black list is still there, it will be a major event that will cause a sensation in the entire capital, which will not only cause the dissatisfaction of countless examiners, but also become the top priority of the street discussion.
Li Dingshan pondered for a moment: "The third prince is not in charge of the Ministry of Rites and the Tribute Academy, but the front of the palace has commanded Ye Shisheng to always be friendly with the third prince......"
"For the sake of a black list, the third prince will not hesitate to mobilize the forbidden army?" Song Chaodu was slightly stunned, and then nodded in recognition of Li Dingshan's speculation, "What Brother Li said is very reasonable, the matter of the black list can be big or small, since it has alarmed the king, and the king has killed someone, it is reasonable for the forbidden army to be dispatched." ”
"Sure enough, it's here......" Li Dingshan suddenly got up and pointed to the distance outside the window, "It's so fast, the third prince can't sit still." ”
Following the direction of Li Dingshan's finger, a team of more than 20 people came. The team was all armor and spears, the armor was new and the guns were bright, the pace was neat, murderous, and the head was like a hat with a red tassel on the top of the fanyang hat, and followed behind one person.
The person at the head, riding a white horse, is also a suit of armor, with a sword at the waist, with the movement of the horse, the armor on the body clangs, majestic, and because he was born with a white face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, about forty years old, short beard under the chin, is really a graceful Confucian general.
"Ye Shisheng? The commanders in front of the palace made Ye Shisheng come. Lian Ruohan, who was in the car, saw that he actually alarmed Ye Shisheng, who was in front of the palace, and then smiled quietly, "The third prince is too anxious, but ...... The more difficult it is to end, the more it shows that there must be something strange behind Xia Xiang's fall. Wenchang Ju Wen Gong wants to escape this catastrophe, I am afraid it will be very difficult. This Xia Xiang is really a character, just a small fall, it stirred up the situation in all directions, if he really entered the court, maybe there would be some moths. ”
Ling'er didn't know Ye Shisheng, and asked puzzledly: "Lady, what kind of official is the commander in front of the palace?" ”
"The commander of the palace is the cavalry officer under the palace front division, guarding the palace and the capital."
"Oh, I see, it's like Shangjing Mansion is in charge of Shangjing's government affairs and security, and the palace front division is in charge of the forbidden army that guards the palace and the capital." Ling'er nodded, slightly surprised, "Ah, why did you alarm the forbidden army to dispatch?" ”
"Ye Shisheng has always been good friends with the third prince." Lian Ruohan frowned slightly, and gently lowered the car curtain, "The third prince did not mobilize the capture of Shangjing Mansion but dispatched the forbidden army of the front division of the palace, which shows that Fu Zheng is not easy to get along with, and he does not obey the words of the third prince." ”
"Lady, will you be afraid of Ye Shisheng when you see the king?" Ling Er tilted his head to look at Lian Ruohan, like a bird, smart and well-behaved, "If you talk about martial arts, I see that Wang Tie will definitely not be able to beat Ye Shisheng." ”
"Seeing that His Royal Highness has not been afraid of anyone?" Lian Ruohan's eyes flashed slightly, "It's just that I see that His Royal Highness is afraid that he won't be able to please Ye Shisheng in front of him...... Look, the show is on. ”
Ye Shisheng came to see the king proudly, did not dismount, and proudly bowed in the direction of the palace: "Seeing His Royal Highness, the official has official business, and it is inconvenient to dismount to see the salute, and I hope that His Royal Highness will forgive me." ”
Xia Cunxian didn't expect Ye Shisheng to appear, he was slightly shocked in his heart, knowing that it was the third prince who made a move behind his back, he turned over and got on the horse unhurriedly, and said lightly: "The palace marshal doesn't have to be polite." Why is the marshal here? ”
Ye Shisheng didn't speak, with a wave of his right hand, the forbidden soldiers behind him divided into two ways, separating the examinees around the black list, and then the forbidden army stood in two columns, forming a passage.
Shi Sanxin saw that the black list was surrounded by the forbidden army, and in a hurry, he wanted to step forward to protect him. The two columns of forbidden soldiers shouted at the same time, and the spears in their hands were sent forward, crossing and crossing, forming a forest of guns, and he did not dare to advance another half a step.
"What does this mean?" Xia Cunxian's face sank, Ye Shisheng was not only disrespectful to him, but also took the lead and directly took over the black list, he couldn't bear it anymore, "Why, this king is here, you still dare to be wild?" ”
"Don't dare! The lower officials don't dare! "I didn't dare to say it, but my demeanor and posture didn't mean the slightest respect, Ye Shisheng didn't give an inch, "The lower official was ordered to take over the Gongyuan and protect the safety of the Wenshangshu, if you offend His Royal Highness the King, it is also an official business, and you can't take care of it, it is neither a wilderness nor a dereliction of duty." ”
"It's a good pair of sharp teeth, and the Vasher Hook Fence is where the palace marshal comes in." Xia Cunxian sneered again and again, Ye Shisheng took out the emperor's order to press him, so that he would have a hard time, after all, the ban on military affairs is related to the emperor's safety, and the movement of the forbidden army does not have to be reported to anyone, even if he is a prince, he has no right to ask.
"Thanks to His Royal Highness's praise, the talent of the lower officials is just a martial artist, and when it comes to storytelling, he is really inferior to the ancestors." Ye Shisheng was neither humble nor arrogant, there was no anger on his face, and he was not annoyed by Xia Cunxian for ridiculing his ancestor as a storyteller.
Ye Shisheng was born in a pariah, his grandparents were storytellers, and after his father joined the army, he accumulated military merits and was able to get out of his untouchable status. When he was born, it was when his father was fighting in Mobei, because his father often won battles, so he was named Ye Shisheng.
Ye Shisheng grew up in the barracks since he was a child, and unlike other children who grew up in the barracks, he likes to read books in addition to martial arts, both the art of war and poetry, plus he has been white and weak since he was a child, and he is nicknamed the jade-faced general.
Later, Ye Shisheng participated in the martial arts and won the martial arts champion in one fell swoop, and became famous. The martial arts of Daxia is the same as the imperial examination, which is divided into the solution examination, the provincial examination and the palace examination, which is compared every three years, which not only examines martial arts, but also examines policy theory, and attaches equal importance to civil and military affairs. The martial arts are mainly based on the bow horse, and the bow horse is divided into two fields, first "foot shooting", and then "horse shooting", which is commanded by the guards and the horse army. If the bow horse is qualified, they will participate in the article exam, first test the strategy, and then take the "Seven Books of the Martial Arts". is a person who can be admitted to the martial arts champion, and he is by no means an ordinary person.
Because Taizu took the post of checking in front of the palace in the summer, soon after he ascended the throne, he abolished the position of checking in front of the palace, and dispersed the power to the commander, deputy commander, and other officials. The front of the palace is a person who is a close confidant of the emperor, and usually the envoy of the festival capital is concurrent, and since Ye Shisheng moved to the front of the palace to command the envoy, he has been in charge of the front of the palace for five years, which shows that the emperor's trust in him has not diminished.
Ye Shisheng is not to say that he is honest, he has always been unkind, he has always been a maverick in the court, never forming gangs, nor flattering the powerful, only loyal to the emperor, but also won a clear name. It is precisely because of this that whether it is the prime minister of the dynasty, Hou Pingpan, or several high-ranking and powerful princes, they all have a sense of awe for Ye Shisheng.
It is also because Ye Shisheng is in charge of the affairs of the capital garrison, and is also responsible for the security of the palace, and is the latest military general of the Gongwei Emperor, although the official level is not high, it is a key position that is not trivial.
Seeing that Ye Shisheng didn't advance the oil and salt, Xia Cunxian also had no way, but he couldn't back down, it would be a pity if such a great opportunity was missed, he snorted coldly, lifted the reins, raised the horse's front hooves, kicked a few times in the air, and after landing, rushed straight towards the passage. The first strike is stronger, no matter what, Ye Shisheng can't be allowed to unveil the list.
Unexpectedly, the horse's cry did not land, and before he took a few steps forward, Ye Shisheng's figure flashed, and he flew off the horse and dismounted, blocking in front of Xia Cunxian, he gently moved his right arm, and he didn't see how hard he worked, and when he pulled the reins, the horse screamed sadly, as if he was nailed to the ground, and he couldn't move forward half a step.
"You!" Xia Cunxian was furious, and the people who dared to stop him looked at the capital, there were only a handful, but they did not include Ye Shisheng in front of him, he raised his hand and whipped Ye Shisheng's hand, "Let go!" ”
Ye Shisheng was unmoved, a deep blood mark was drawn out of his hand, he didn't look at it, let alone let go, he grabbed the reins tightly, his expression was awe-inspiring, and his voice was steady and undulating: "For the sake of His Highness's safety, I can't let go of Your Highness." ”
Xia Cunxian pulled out his sword with a "choked" sound, and pointed at the tip of Ye Shisheng's nose: "Believe it or not, this king killed you with a sword?" ”
Ye Shisheng did not avoid it, and his eyes did not squint, as if the sword that could take his life by stepping half a foot in front of him did not exist: "The prince wants to kill the lower officials, and the lower officials can only serve the country with one death, and there will be no complaints." The duty of the lower official is to protect the tribute court and maintain the order of tomorrow's release, and it is a dereliction of duty to let go, and the lower official would rather die than be derelict in his duty. ”
"You ......" Xia Cunxian was choked speechless by Ye Shisheng's words with a gun and a stick, if he killed Ye Shisheng with a sword, he would not necessarily cause any monstrous disaster, although as the respect of the prince, he did not have to fight his life, not to mention that he would be cut off his title and exiled to other places, if he was exiled to Lingnan or Hainan, which were three thousand miles away, I am afraid that there would be no return.
Even if the father came forward to intercede, he couldn't stand the tide of affection in the court, how many imperial historians had long been dissatisfied with him, and took turns to write to the emperor, saying that even the father and the king would be implicated. Although he is arrogant, he also knows how to advance and retreat. It's just that at this time, he was forced by Ye Shisheng to advance and retreat, and he really couldn't pull the bottom and get off the horse.
I wanted to come and make things bigger, so that the three princes hiding behind them would not be able to digest the fraud in the science field, and I didn't want the three princes to be superior, so I asked Ye Shisheng to come forward, and if I used force, I couldn't beat it. If the text is moved, the other party is not immersed, Xia Cun is in a hurry, and scolds Li Dingshan in his heart why he has to let him come forward, how good it would be to let his father come forward earlier.
Of course, he didn't know that Li Dingshan and his father asked him to come forward, because he valued his youth and prestige and arrogance, was young and vigorous, and had excessive rudeness, which could be dealt with with youth and frivolity. Arrogant and arrogant, there are outrageous behaviors, and they can also be prevaricated with frivolity. Youthful and arrogant are the two powerful weapons that he can protect himself.
Looking up, Xia Cunxian was even more angry, Wen Changju came out of the Gongyuan under the support of Gao Hai, Chen Feng and others, and came to the black list with his head held high and his eyes not squinting. Wen Chang raised his hand and put it on the black list, but he didn't take it off, he deliberately turned around and nodded and smiled at the people around him, and there was indescribable pride in his smile: "Gongyuan Holy Land, how can you wait for you to mess around?" When the official finds out who did this, he will report it to the emperor, not only will he never be hired, but he will also be investigated for inciting the crowd to make trouble, disturbing the scientific field, and besieging the tribute courtyard......
