Chapter 108: The Night Banquet at Qujiangchi (11)
Li San wanted to gild the horse, Xu Chen also guessed this, and the reason why he beat this boy in public was for a purpose, which is the second reason.
Since that Huzi incident, Xu Chen has been deeply aware of a problem---- someone may have to deal with him. And at that time, Xu Chen was just selected by Li San to be a lecturer in the East Palace because of a few poems, he had no background, no official position, and he didn't have a deep grudge against anyone, but that's it, why did anyone deal with him? And not afraid that he still has the identity of a colt?
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Emperor Li San at that time did not treat the horse very well, did not give him an official position, and did not show a very fond appearance, which may also be one of the reasons why the mysterious person wanted to do something to the horse, as for the motive, it is impossible to know.
Therefore, Xu Chen realized that "the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light", and he has no ability to protect himself, with the help of this opportunity given by Li San, he wants to improve his popularity, since he is in the light, then he will be more thorough, not only to move the capital, but also to shock the government and the opposition, so that if the mysterious person does it to himself again, he will be more afraid.
Of course, this is a good method that Xu Chen has been able to think of so far, and when he ran into this son, he slapped him twice on such an occasion, preparing to have a big fight, but he didn't want Zi'er to reveal his identity in advance.
There should be nothing more eye-catching than beating people at a royal literati banquet, and more than half of the people here are literati scholars. Although Xu Chen doesn't know who this son-in-law is, he can also have some effect, whoever asked him to pretend to be here at this time, then he can only put him in the ......, and only sigh that the luck is not good to be Xu Chen's cannon fodder.
As for the royal banquet where the horse shot and beat people, what attitude Li San held, this is the only thing Xu Chen can't be sure of, after all, it is a royal banquet, after all, it is the identity of the horse, and more importantly, most of the people on the Qulou are literati, the future pillars of this country, the impact of the horse beating people in public is indeed a bit bad, smearing the royal identity, if the emperor is too favoritial, it will definitely cause a storm, and the literati will inevitably have a lot of complaints about Li San's royal family. Xu Chen is taking a certain risk, but if Li San plans to gild himself tonight, he shouldn't be too concerned with himself, even if this old man is angry, there are Tian Yuma and Princess Li Qing on the wine table, and he must be able to help himself speak, even if the worst result is the worst, there will be no big problems.
If Emperor Li San did not hold him accountable for beating people at the banquet, it would naturally have the greatest effect, which is enough to show that Emperor Li San and Princess Anyi's Mansion are not as rumored by the outside world------- Li Shuang'er fell out of favor and married a straw bale horse, and Princess Anyi's Mansion is no longer treated by Li San. And it is precisely to achieve Xu Chen's goal, which is exactly what everyone declared: the old emperor Li San has always been good to Princess Anyi's mansion, and he wrote two poems to this legend, but the horse who still can't escape the name of "straw bag" is also pampered.
I believe that with this relationship, others will be more afraid of this colt.
To Xu Chen's surprise, the effect of this beating was inevitably too great, and at the moment when Zi'er reported Xu Chen's identity, this corridor was already crowded with people watching the excitement, because the people who beat the horses were too special, and the examiner's son was beaten, and some literati scholars who "uphold justice" were about to come out, "not afraid of the powerful, not afraid of violence", and reasoned for Wang Bolangjun!
That Wang Bo was a little deflated after hearing the horse, covering his face and scolding in his heart, but he ran into a character who couldn't be beaten, but there were too many people around to watch the excitement, these two slaps were too violent, but now they can't get this breath, this is going to be passed out, it must be a joke: Wang Jialangjun was openly slapped twice by the horse on the Qu Tower, and finally ran away in a gray manner, and he didn't dare to let go of the fart.
It definitely can't be like this, but the identity of this colt will not be fake, whoever wants to pretend to be this is going to kill the head, seeing Xu Chen in front of him with a look of being with him to the end, he was a little angry, and wanted to say that you dare to pretend to be a colt, I will send you to the official and so on, do the last struggle.
Before the words came out, a tall young man came out of the crowd at this moment, although he didn't look handsome, but he was much more resolute, this young man walked up to Wang Bo and smiled at Xu Chen first, and then whispered a few words to Wang Bo, Wang Bo was deflated, without any temper.
Xu Chen looked at this young man but had never seen it, and judging by Wang Bo's reaction, this person should not be here to make trouble. And just when the young man squeezed in, the person who came behind him surprised Xu Chen, it was the chick who was dressed as a man when he first saw it.
The young man was Su Chong, the eldest son of Su Wansong, the head of the Criminal Department, and knew this Wang Bo, but Su Chong recognized that this person was indeed a colt, so he came up to tell Wang Bo not to let him do something stupid.
Wang Bo glanced at Su Chong, and knew that he was a dumb man tonight, but he didn't expect this horse to be so Meng Lang, and he came up to beat himself without saying a word, and he wanted to say that his father Wang Renyi's identity was not afraid of a horse, but no matter how much background he had, it was impossible to beat this horse, if you beat him, it is equivalent to beating the royal family, this is not looking for death!
But now that so many people are looking at it, they feel uncomfortable, their faces are unbearable, and the two family members are also quite embarrassed to stand in front of Xu Chen, they can't walk, they can't stand.
Wang Bo had a plan, since you beat me, I will ruin your reputation, and completely ignored Su Chong's persuasion, and shouted: "You are a dignified concubine, why did you beat me in front of the public for no reason?!! ”
After saying that, he looked back at the crowd, hoping that someone would come out to support him. These literati usually talked to him, but they could use it at this time, but no one said a few words for him.
Xu Chen glanced at Wang Bo, still smiling, and said, "Do you need a reason to beat him?" ”
Damn, that's crazy?!!! This sentence alone angered all the literati present, but Su Chong shook his head and smiled bitterly, and stepped back to see the excitement, regardless of Wang Bo, and the woman dressed as a man recognized that Xu Chen, who was pretending to be very forced at the moment, was actually a concubine, and with a surprised hand, she looked lively with interest.
And most literati already know that the beaten person is Wang Renyi's precious son, although this person does not learn and bully men and women, he has become a vulnerable group at the moment, everyone sympathizes with him, and on the contrary, he casts a fierce gaze at Xu Chen, who bullied people with the identity of a horse, you feel ashamed as a man, you are still so arrogant here!
There was a scholar who wanted to take this opportunity to befriend Wang Bo jumped out, pointed at Xu Chen's nose and said, "Don't you be afraid of Wang Fa!" Beat people in public for no reason, ignoring my Tang criminal law?!! ”
This person is short, but his voice is sharp, and he has a sonorous word for this sentence, but obviously there is no level at all, just the voice is a little louder, and it is a little farther.
Xu Chen grinned, this smile was both silver and underbeaten, he waved his hands, signaled the scholar to stop talking, and said: "This horse beat him today, it all depends on the mood, if you are in a good mood, you will slap him twice, and if you are in a bad mood, it will be more than that." ”
Before everyone could drop their jaws in shock, Xu Chen said to Wang Bo: "You have affected my mood, if you don't get out, I will slap you twenty times!" ”
His expression was stagnant, and his face showed a fierce light, which shocked Wang Bo and stunned everyone present.
I have never seen such a violent, I have never seen such an arrogant, on this occasion, it is difficult to imagine that this kind of thing will happen, and there will be such a person, and the level of excitement has reached**.
What you want is this effect, it's hard not to make a sensation this time, and then it's up to Li San to see if he gives himself face, of course, Li Shuang'er's face is not big, whether Tian Juma and the eldest princess can help, in case Li San is angry, as for the consequences, Xu Chen can't control it.
Although Xu Chen is usually a thoughtful, or indecisive person who takes one step at a time and sees three steps, and today this matter is obviously beyond control, since he has done it firmly, he must do it thoroughly.
Wang Bo fled, hiding his face and fleeing, followed by the two family members. The people watching the excitement didn't expect that Wang Bo was really scared away by the cruel words just now, and everyone finally gathered up with anger, and instantly let the guy run away. The scholar who just helped to speak was busy retreating into the crowd, joking, the protagonist had run away, and he was still standing outside Balabala, wasn't he looking for a draw?
So Xu Chen looked at the people around him very forcefully, smiled, turned around and sat in the gazebo in a chic manner.
As for the identity of this horse, there is everything to say, naturally there are those who look familiar with Xu Chen and have seen it in the Qinglou, so this horse is Xu Chen Xu Wenxian's statement occupies a large number.
As soon as everyone saw the male No. 2 running away, the male No. 1 was sitting in the pavilion listening to the piano, completely ignoring their meaning, they all dispersed, this farce was too cruel, Wang Bo could be called a complete defeat, but if the arrogance of this horse was known by the emperor, he should not let it go.
With the attitude of the emperor punishing such madmen, everyone left, such a royal occasion to do such an arrogant thing, and there are so many scholars and literati witnesses, the influence is so bad, the emperor will turn a blind eye? Unlikely.
Xu Chen sat down in the pavilion, Zi'er was a little worried about why the colt was so abnormal tonight, thinking that she was locked in the dark room by Princess Shuang'er and didn't let out a fart, she thought that her temper would be very good, but there was such a side, which couldn't help but make Zi'er a little scared, so she didn't ask him anything.
It's Meng Lang who did it, why is the colt so reckless?
Everyone had dispersed, but Su Zhong came over, and he was followed by the chick dressed as a man.
"Xia Guan has seen a colt." Su Chong walked over and said respectfully, "I wonder if I can sit here?" ”
Xu Chen looked up and saw that it was the person just now who didn't know what he meant, so he smiled in response, but he didn't stand up, looking like you like to sit or not.
Su Chong didn't care much, he sat down, he had already heard of the name of the horse in front of him, Su Chong's uncle was the imperial historian Wang Fu, and he wanted to let Wang meet when Xu Juma passed poems in the Qinglou, and then he went to the princess's mansion to ask for poetry in person, this Su Chong was naturally curious about this horse under his influence.
Although he was born in a famous family, this Su Zhong is not as unbearable as the children of the official family, and he was deeply influenced by his uncle, so he was also more interested in poetry and songs.
Xu Chen's original signing and selling of books, most of them were sold to some vassals and elegant rich families, people with a little money, bureaucratic status like Su Chong, famous families are rare, after all, the famous capital is still rarely heard of in the upper class, even if you hear a few poems, you don't know who the author is.
Su Zhong and that Wang Bo just knew each other, and they had the intention to help the horse break the siege, so he stepped forward to tell him, but he didn't expect the horse to be so manic, and he didn't care about the identity of that Wang Bo at all.
"You're a colt? Is it the colt who defeated Liu Wenyuan and was locked up in a small black house by the princess? ”
The one who spoke was the woman dressed as a man, who was standing next to Su Chong at the moment, Su Chong glanced at the woman and scolded: "Luo'er, Hugh is rude!" ”
Then he hurriedly explained to Xu Chen: "My sister has always spoken openly, and I hope that Ma Mo will be blamed." ”
After listening to Na Su Luo's questioning of Xu Chen, Zi'er was a little uncontrollable, and she wanted to laugh but didn't dare, so uncomfortable.
It's embarrassing, and the past is not to be mentioned, and it's unbearable to look back.
Xu Chen didn't have any hostility towards these two, he originally came to have a look, but that's fine, the goal has been achieved, and the mood is more relaxed, and the back is not something he can control, then Su Zhong is clear meaning and identity, it turns out that he is just a fan.
"Did you make the song "After Dengke"?" Su Luo saw that the eldest brother and Xu Yuma were chatting intentionally or unintentionally, so he asked.
Su Luo originally ran away in men's clothes today, and the family was reluctant to let her run around outside, and they were ready to take care of this precious and beautiful daughter as a lady, but it always backfired. When I met Xu Chen at that time, I bumped into my eldest brother, and then Xu Chen spoke like a hooligan and scared her away, but she happened to be bumped into by Su Chong, and the two walked together.
I actually saw Xu Chen again, and saw that he had swollen the face of the Wang Bo thief, and secretly applauded in my heart, but I didn't expect that this person was actually the horse that my uncle often mentioned, and I was still very surprised, and I still had some understanding of this horse, especially the song "The body has no colorful phoenix wings, and the heart has a little understanding" made her impressed, but it is rumored that it was made by a horse, and the authenticity is unknown.
"After Dengke" was seen by my uncle's father, so I asked, this little girl is usually not very honest, what major poetry clubs, literati gatherings, they all love to join in the fun, and their love for poetry seems to be their family tradition.
This watery little girl asked as if she looked at an idol, and Su Chong also shook her head helplessly, and apologized to Xu Chen. Xu Chenxin said that it was really not done by me, but you didn't believe it when I said that it wasn't me, and said that it was done by me, and I couldn't stand Brother Yin, so don't say it, it's better to be modest.
Saying this in my heart, it is obviously illogical in my actions, and I am nodding my head incessantly at the moment, which is indeed what I did.
Just when Xu Chenzi'er was chatting with the Su family brothers and sisters, Chen Wenxuan and Guo Pinyi and the members of the National Prison actually came over.
Chen Wenxuan saw Xu Juma sitting in the pavilion at a glance, and then pointed it out to Guo Pinyi, Guo Pinyi looked at everyone behind him and smiled, and walked towards the pavilion......
