Chapter Fifty-Seven: Burning Star Sword, Li Xingran
There were many families in the Hua Dynasty, and the relationship between the major families was like the roots of ancient trees, which were intricate.
But like the four major families, they are grouped separately, and what the water and oil do not enter is what the royal family attaches the most importance to.
This attention will not bring any benefits, but will lead to death.
The reason why the Chen family escaped that catastrophe back then was precisely because the descendants of the Chen family were not prosperous.
Moreover, after the collapse of the other three families, the royal family needs someone who can maintain the stability of Jiangxi, and the Chen family is undoubtedly the best choice.
Therefore, among the four major families, only the Chen family, which was the weakest in the past, is left, and the Chen family is also knowledgeable, and they have been in a safe corner all these years without any ambitions.
Chen Zhongquan's purpose has always been that the Chen family can be preserved, maintain the status quo, and not decay.
Chen Zhixing didn't know until now that his father's purpose had never been to revitalize the Chen family at all.
"I'm glad that God gave me three daughters." Chen Zhongquan's eyes were a little lonely. "All three of you are equally good, and I want you to live an ordinary life. Don't seek richness, just be safe. ”
"Then father, why are you still involved in the battle between the actor and the prince? If you can't say no, your daughter can say it tomorrow. ”
Chen Zhongquan stood up and took two steps with his hands behind his back: "No need." There is a very simple truth, but the princes in the court do not understand. The prince, after all, is just the prince! ”
Chen Zhixing also walked behind Chen Zhongquan and slowly closed the door, his father's health was not good, and he couldn't stand the cold.
"Father's temperament is cautious, even if it is the prince, his father should not want to be an enemy easily!"
Chen Zhongquan nodded: "Wu Chang, after all, he is the son-in-law of the Chen family!" ”
"I see."
Wu Chang, the first sword in the world, married Chen Niantao, the eldest daughter of the Chen family.
Anyone with a son-in-law like Wu Chang will probably be unable to close their mouths.
At the very least, on the rivers and lakes, there will be no more forces against the Chen family.
In fact, since Wu Chang became the son-in-law of the Chen family, no one has ever troubled the Chen family, whether it is the rivers and lakes or the green forests.
How could such a son-in-law, Chen Zhongquan, not be welcome?
But he can't get close to Wu Chang, and even with him, Chen Niantao can't get close.
Therefore, Wu Chang, who has no father and mother since he was a child, spent the New Year under the emperor's nose.
Chen Niantao has always known these things, but she has never complained to Chen Zhongquan.
If there is only one Wu Chang, the strength of the Chen family is not too noticeable.
Immediately afterwards, the second daughter also got married.
The second daughter Chen Fenglan is lively by nature, without the dignity of the eldest daughter Chen Niantao, nor the wisdom of the younger daughter.
But Chen Fenglan has the freedom that none of them have.
A daughter's free and easy.
His husband's name is Li Xingran.
His sword moves have three points of fire, and the people in the rivers and lakes call Li Xingran, the Burning Star Sword, and he is the judge of Xuanwu Academy.
Xuanwu Academy is not a place to teach people martial arts, but Li Xingran's swordsmanship is extremely strong.
It didn't matter.
With Wu Chang in front, no matter how strong Li Xingran's sword is, it will not be Wu Chang's opponent, so it doesn't seem to matter.
But what made Chen Zhongquan care more was not Li Xingran's sword, but his identity.
The largest academy in the world, the judge of Xuanwu Academy.
There is a big stone outside the gate of Xuanwu Academy, and this stone has been placed there for more than ten years, as if the stone was placed there as soon as there was a academy.
The stone was five feet high, and no one knew how much effort it took to get it there.
The top of the stone seems to have been cut off, and the big red characters under the notch: "May the people of the poor and hard-working people in the world be able to ascend to the temple!" ”
It is said that at this time, the dean of Xuanwu Academy said a sentence, and the name of the dean was engraved on the stone that was cut off.
I don't know how many Xuanwu Academy disciples held positions in various ministries, and during the imperial examination, there were not only many times when Xuanwu Academy disciples came out on top.
This force can even easily subvert the court.
Xuanwu Academy only accepts children from poor families, and does not charge for food and lodging.
On the contrary, they are the children of wealthy families, and no matter how much money they pay, they can't come here.
There are the best gentlemen, and there are also the most enlightened management.
The vice president of Xuanwu Academy is Shang Qingyun, but few people know who the dean is.
Even an excellent student like Qu Hanyi has never met the dean.
Everyone is wondering what kind of person a person who does not seek fame or profit, and takes out so many silver taels every year.
Or, what kind of family is it, because of such a huge amount of money, if you want to hide from people and prevent people from discovering the source, you definitely need far more than several times the capital.
In Xuanwu Academy, except for the mysterious dean and vice president of the academy affairs, Shang Qingyun, the rest is the judge of Xuanwu Academy, Li Xingran.
In addition to enforcing the precepts of the academy on weekdays and punishing students who violate discipline, the court judgment is to protect the safety of the entire Xuanwu Academy.
Scholars from humble families, once they complete their studies, their righteousness will violate the rules of this dirty world.
At this time, a tenacious scholar wants to use his life to touch unreasonable rules.
Therefore, because of their arrogance, some people often provoke some bandits, robbers, corrupt officials and black businessmen.
Such people want human life.
But the Xuanwu Academy, where Li Xingran is in charge, is definitely a forbidden area for these people.
If it is said, the president of Xuanwu Academy is the foundation of their entire academy.
Li Xingran is the patron saint in the hearts of all Xuanwu Academy.
In other words, Li Xingran's status in the hearts of the scholars of Xuanwu Academy is second only to the dean of Xuanwu Academy.
Wu Chang, the world's first sword, and Li Xingran, the patron saint of Xuanwu Academy.
The two sons-in-law of the Chen family, that is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
The influence brought by the two of them was something that even the imperial court did not dare to underestimate.
So Chen Zhongquan is not unkind to these two sons-in-law.
On the contrary, these two sons-in-law have great respect for him, and they are beaten and scolded.
When Wu Chang took Chen Niantao that day, the imperial court sent an envoy to send congratulatory gifts.
The special envoy was very unkind to Chen Zhongquan, and he was repeatedly humiliated at the banquet.
Chen Zhongquan did not have a seizure, he knew that the emperor was testing the Chen family at this time.
Wu Chang didn't say much on the big day.
Seven days later, on his way back to Beijing, the envoy was cut in the throat with a sword.
The steel sword was stained with blood and a few big characters were written on the sedan chair: Murderer Wu Chang.
The emperor did not blame, but sent another congratulatory gift.
The emperor did not blame, but Chen Zhongquan wanted to show an attitude.
On the same day, Chen Zhongquan personally beat Wu Chang for twenty boards.
Wu Chang took it stiffly, and there was not even a trace of reluctance in his eyes.
No one knows the emperor's attitude towards this matter, but when Li Xingran asked to marry the second daughter of the Chen family, the envoy sent was much more disciplined.
The person who can become a royal envoy is not a fool, although Li Xingran's martial arts are not as good
Wu Chang, however, going against Li Xingran is tantamount to going against the entire Xuanwu Academy.
The students of Xuanwu Academy, no matter whether they have achieved success in their studies or not, no matter what position they are in.
They were all full of gratitude and reverence for Xuanwu Academy.
Therefore, Qu Hanyi was able to leave the position of deputy director of the Supervision Department and return to Xuanwu Academy to be a teacher.
