Chapter 120. Make friends with the emperor.

"Zirou, En, I can call you Zirou, right?"

After Tian Da sat down. [Reading Network] asked Xiao Mo with a smile.

Xiao Mo was slightly stunned, this kind of self-familiar performance was the first time Xiao Mo had encountered it since he came to this world, but seeing that the old man had a sincere expression, a generous expression, and a kind look in his eyes, Xiao Mo couldn't help but feel good, so he nodded and said: "You are an elder, and it is not wrong to call the younger generation Zirou." ”

"Zirou, when did you arrive in Beijing?"

"Early this morning."

……

In the midst of such politeness, Xiao Mo began to talk with Tian Da.

The tone of the conversation between Na Tian Da and Xiao Mo was like Xiao Mo's relatives and elders, quite concerned, although it was only the first acquaintance, but it also made Xiao Mo feel cordial, and he also answered politely one by one about all kinds of trivial matters in life.

But what puzzled Xiao Mo was that Tian Da actually knew him quite well, and even the old people in Xiao Mo's family, whether they were married, and the answer sheets written in the state examination were all very clear, which made Xiao Mo feel more and more confused about the identity of this old man while feeling cordial.

Then. After Tian Da cared about Xiao Mo's trivial matters, he actually took the initiative to start testing Xiao Mo's knowledge, which made Xiao Huan and Fan Guan next to him dumbfounded, but Zhang Er and Tian Ba reacted indifferently and seemed to take it for granted.

With Xiao Mo's current status in the literary world, this old man is not Xiao Mo's teacher, nor is he a senior in the literary world who is equivalent to Xiao Mo's status, but he dares to test Xiao Mo's knowledge? Is it too self-conscious?

But what surprised Xiao Huan and Fan Guan even more was that the questions that this old man asked Xiao Mo were either quoting scriptures or incisive points, although they were only a few questions, Xiao Huan and Fan Guan were already sure that the seemingly ordinary old man in front of him was probably much more knowledgeable than Zhu Ruide, Xiao Shenxing and others.

With such knowledge, at least he is a great Confucian, and it is not surprising that he is even respected by the world, but why has he never heard of it?

And Xiao Mo was even more strange in his heart, answering Tian Da's question, while looking at Tian Da carefully, constantly guessing the identity of this Tian Da in his heart.

This old man who called himself Tian Da was ordinary in appearance and temperament, but although he was a little eager when he talked to Xiao Mo, his tone was not hurried, clear and organized, and he had his own bearing. It seems to be a unique kind of grace and self-confidence that has been cultivated after a long time. It was a little more majestic and graceful than when they first met, and Zhang Er and Tian Ba next to them just listened quietly to the conversation between Tian Da and Xiao Mo, without the slightest intention of interjecting, obviously with great respect for Tian Da.

"This old man's identity and status may not be as simple as his performance."

Xiao Mo couldn't help but think secretly.

At this moment, after Deng Shangquan presented the fragrant tea to Tian Da and the others, he put a cup of fragrant tea in Xiao Mo's hand.

Xiao Mo dealt with Tian Da while picking up the tea in his hand, and then he seemed to have found something, and he was suddenly slightly stunned.

The teacup in his hand is quite light, and it seems to be just a teacup, not like it has tea inside.

Xiao Mo turned his head to look at Deng Shangquan suspiciously, this should not be a mistake that Deng Shangquan would make, but he saw Deng Shangquan looking down at his feet, and he didn't notice Xiao Mo's gaze at all.

As if thinking of something, Xiao Mo lifted the lid of the tea and looked into the cup as if he was drinking tea, but saw that there was no tea in the teacup, but a note was placed.

On the slip of paper, only five small words were written.

"Zhang Er is Zhang Qian!!"

Seeing the handwriting on the note, Xiao Mo's originally plain expression couldn't help but change slightly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Deng Shangquan was born in Songshan Academy. I know Zhang Qian best, and I am afraid that I have even seen Zhang Qian's portrait, since Deng Shangquan thinks that Zhang Er is the current Prime Minister Zhang Qian, then there will be no mistake.

And if Zhang Er is the current Prime Minister Zhang Qian, who is Tian Da who can make Zhang Qian so respectful, and then think of Tian Da's surname, and the rumors that His Majesty likes to pay private interviews with Weifu today, Tian Da's identity is self-evident.

Although there were many grievances between Xiao Mo and Zhang Qian, when he speculated about Tian Da's identity, he couldn't help but look at Tian Da carefully.

This kind old man who seems to be the old man next door turned out to be Tian Hui, the Emperor of Guangxiao?

Like everyone, Xiao Mo never thought that the current emperor of the Chu Dynasty would have such a temperament.

Comparatively speaking, on the contrary, the emperor's bearing on that Tian Hachi is more obvious.

Tian Ba, it should be the world-famous Eight Sages King Tian Zheng, right?

After secretly looking at Emperor Tian Hui of Chu Ling and Tian Zheng of the Eight Sages, Xiao Mo was quite stunned in his heart, and he really couldn't figure out why the previous emperor of the Chu Dynasty would pass the throne to Tian Hui, the Emperor of Guangxiao, instead of Tian Zheng, the Eight Sages Wang.

However, I have to say that for Xiao Mo, although Tian Zheng, the Eight Sages Wang, is more of a king, but Tian Hui, the Emperor of Guangxiao, makes Xiao Mo more favorable and more cordial.

After looking at Tian Hui, the Emperor of Guangxiao, and Tian Zheng, the Eight Sages King, Xiao Mo secretly looked at Zhang Qian again.

But I saw Zhang Qianzheng listening attentively to the questions and answers between Emperor Guangxiao and Xiao Mo, with a little admiration and appreciation, just right but not pretentious, it was very easy to attract people's affection, coupled with his elegant temperament, full of wise eyes. It's even more inadmirable.

However, looking at Zhang Qian, Xiao Mo sighed secretly, because he knew very well that the Zhang Qian in front of him, who was full of the bearing of everyone in the literary world, was actually a politician who was extremely old and ruthless in political methods and good at conspiracing and fighting for power, and his essence was completely different from his image!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, and all for profit.

Xiao Mo is a man in the world, without exception.

After learning that the old man in front of him, who claimed to be Tian Da, was the current emperor, after experiencing the initial shock and incredulity, Xiao Mo's expression quickly recovered to his original indifference, but when he faced Emperor Chu Ling's inquiry and academic investigation, he became more and more focused, and every answer was a quote from the scriptures, and combined with his later insights, he brought his own knowledge and insight to the extreme, so that Tian Hui was amazed one after another, and his eyes looked at Xiao Mo more and more appreciative.

Later, even Zhang Qian and Eight Sages Wang Tian Zheng couldn't help but applaud Xiao Mo's answer. He couldn't help but ask questions with Emperor Chu Ling to assess Xiao Mo's knowledge.

After this kind of question and answer lasted for nearly an hour, it finally ended, whether it was Xiao Mo, Tian Hui, Tian Zheng, or Zhang Qian, they all felt that they had benefited a lot, and at the same time, they all felt quite happy.

In fact, in the end, the knowledge of the four people is no longer an investigation of Xiao Mo's knowledge, but has evolved into an exchange of knowledge between each other, and the knowledge of the four people is among the top in today's literary world, which corroborates each other. The mood is high.

And just after such an exchange of knowledge, when Emperor Chu Ling Tian Hui consciously turned the topic to the fairy tales that Xiao Mo wrote in his early years, the Eight Sages King Tian Zheng couldn't help frowning, obviously dissatisfied with Emperor Chu Ling's behavior, turned his head to look out the window, but saw that it was getting dark, so he said to Emperor Chu Ling Tian Hui: "Big brother, it's not too early, we should go back." ”

Chu Ling Emperor Tian Hui was slightly stunned, looked up at the sky outside the window, couldn't help but sigh regretfully, nodded and said to Xiao Mo: "It's quite pleasant to talk to Zirou today, but unfortunately the old man has something at home, but he can only go back immediately, and he will come to visit Zirou again in the future." ”

Xiao Mo nodded with a smile and said: "Being able to talk to a few seniors has benefited the juniors a lot, but I didn't expect that on the first day of entering the capital, I would be able to intersect with a few seniors, and there will be a few more friends who have forgotten the year, and life is more enjoyable than this." ”

Hearing Xiao Mo call several people "friends who have forgotten their years", whether it is Emperor Tian Hui of Chu Ling, or Tian Zheng, the Eight Sages Wang, or Prime Minister Zhang Qian, they are all stunned.

With their current status, there is no one who dares to be their friend.

However, after a while, Emperor Tian Hui of Chu Ling suddenly laughed, and patted Xiao Mo's shoulder cordially, and said: "Yes, it is indeed a friend who has forgotten the year, I don't want the old man to be lonely for many years, today there is one more friend who has forgotten the year, and there are no regrets in life." ”

On the other side, Eight Sages Wang Tian Zheng looked at Xiao Mo's eyes. But there was also a little more inexplicable touch.

Indeed, the men of the royal family, who are called lonely and lonely, even if they want to make friends, no one dares to call them friends, and if someone on weekdays calls himself their old friend, they may suspect that he has another purpose, or they may be angry at the man who has blasphemed his majesty.

But at this time, a few people had just experienced a rather harmonious cultural exchange, and they were in good spirits, and Xiao Mo didn't know their identities, so naturally he wouldn't have malicious intentions or blaspheme their majesty.

Although everyone knows that this kind of friendship does not last long, their identities will be announced after that day, and naturally the monarch is the king, and the minister is the minister. But that didn't stop them from enjoying the moment.

After laughing a few times, Emperor Tian Hui of Chu Ling said to Xiao Mo meaningfully: "Zirou, I admit you as a year-old friend, and in the future, you need not to forget today's words." ”

Seeing the performance of Emperor Tian Hui of Chu Ling, Xiao Mo couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, knowing that he had made the right bet, he smiled and nodded.

Xiao Mo knew that this relationship could only last for a while, but at least after entering the court in the future, Emperor Chu Ling's favor and closeness to him could be a little more.

However, just when Xiao Mo was relaxing, he suddenly found that Zhang Qian on the other side looked at him with a meaningful look in his eyes, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, could it be that Zhang Qian already knew that he had guessed their identities?

Just when Xiao Mo was thinking in secret, on the other side, seeing that Emperor Tian Hui of Chu Ling was laughing, it seemed that he was going to continue to stay here and talk to Xiao Mo, Tian Zheng, the Eight Sages King, nodded to Xiao Mo first, and then reminded Tian Hui: "Big brother, we should go back." ”

Chu Ling Emperor Tian Hui was slightly stunned, glanced at the Eight Sage Kings beside him, sighed regretfully, and finally said goodbye to Xiao Mo.

However, just when Xiao Mo sent Emperor Chu Ling and the others outside the guest room, Emperor Chu Ling seemed to think of something, and suddenly said to Xiao Mo: "Before leaving, the old man has another request, and he has to ask Zirou for help. ”
