Chapter Seventy-Three: Walking Together, Someone Provocates
Seeing him hesitate, Li Sheng said, "That's it, you go with me, someone will accompany you!" ”
The man nodded.
"What do you call Brother Tai?" Li Sheng asked.
"Your surname is Zhong, and your single name is Yang. What about the two brothers? Zhong Yang reported to his home.
"Don't have your surname Shen, a single name is a courtesy." Li Sheng turned his name upside down.
"He is my cousin, with a single name and a cloud." Li Sheng introduced Yun Niang.
……
Then the three of them talked and walked towards the Emperor's Mansion.
At the door of the Qing Talks, Li Sheng could clearly feel Zhong Yang's excitement.
Not to mention Zhong Yang, in fact, Li Sheng was also a little excited, although she won the civil and military double champion back then, and the scenery was incomparably beautiful for a while, but because she was in a hurry to go to the frontier, she had no chance to participate in the Qing Talks, and in the next few years, there were few opportunities to go home, and she couldn't meet such opportunities.
Roughly speaking, there are about twenty or thirty people who came today, and each face is full of pride, which is understandable, after all, there are thousands of people who take the literary examination every year. However, the number of people who can get the post of the Clearing Talk, there are only twenty or thirty people, of course, it is something to be proud of.
The only calm person is Yun Niang, she is not interested in this at all, if it weren't for Li Sheng's coming, she wouldn't have come here, her task is to protect Li Sheng, and she doesn't care about anything else.
As the three of them came in, everyone's eyes fell on them, not because of how good they were, but simply because of the tattered clothes on Zhong Yang's clothes.
Before the start of the meeting, the Emperor's Mansion will order a special bachelor's uniform according to people of different body types and send it to the mansion together with the post, and everyone who receives it will be clothed for fear of getting dirty, not to mention stains and tatters all over the body.
Later, although everyone pretended to look away, they could still feel the occasional drifting gaze and hear a lot of discussion.
Li Sheng pulled Zhong Yang, who was blushing, and walked directly towards the vacant seat, not caring about their gaze at all.
It wasn't until they heard that a doorman was coming, that everyone closed their mouths one after another, turned their heads to the door, and looked expectantly.
The emperor was dressed in the same way, he was also dressed in a bachelor's uniform, and there were no other accessories to show his status, and he walked into the foyer. , looked around, until he saw Zhong Yang and stopped for a few more seconds, frowned, but didn't say anything.
Li Sheng is not the first time to see the emperor, in Li Sheng's impression, the emperor is an old-fashioned old man, with a white beard, and his beard trembles when he is angry, and he thinks it is very funny.
The emperor stood on the main seat, made a gesture to the twenty or thirty scholars below, raised his head and said: "You are all the humerus of my Jin Dynasty, and the old man is very grateful for coming here today!" ”
Everyone returned the salute and said in unison: "It is the honor of the students, it is the honor of the students." ”
After the face work was done, the emperor said, "Everyone, please sit down, feel free!" ”
The scholars sat down with a smile.
Suddenly, a servant came to Li Sheng's side and whispered to Zhong Yang: "Son, do you want to go to the cabinet to change your clothes?" ”
Zhong Yang's face was full of shame and frustration, and he didn't know if he had left a bad impression on the emperor.
Seeing that Zhong Yang didn't answer, the thorn in the bachelor sarcastically said, "What? The clothes of the Emperor's Mansion are not worthy of you? ”
Zhong Yang immediately shook his head and waved his hands, especially looking at the emperor, for fear that he would misunderstand, and stammered: "No, it's not like this, I ......"
"How are you? The clothes are so ragged, don't you look down on the Emperor's Mansion! The man tried his best to discredit Zhong Yang.
Zhong Yang tried his best to explain: "I met a few bullies on the road, so I ......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a pop, and then looked at the man holding his stomach and smiled: "What? Bully? Can you make up a better reason? Where's the bully? Why didn't I see it? ”
After saying that, he asked the person next to him by the way: "Did you see it?" ”
The man shook his head. It made everyone in the neighborhood laugh too.
Among them, there were also people who couldn't get used to their aggressiveness, so they quietly leaned to the side, and the few people who laughed at them stayed and became a small group.
Li Sheng watched their private actions silently, and there was also the emperor like him.
Zhong Yang learned the way of Confucius and Mencius, where would he deal with such a ghostly spirit, he was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and kept handing Li Sheng a look for help.
"I can't say it now! It's obviously fake! He turned to the Emperor Master and said, "Emperor Master, the student proposes to drive such disrespectful people out directly. ”
Zhong Yang was frightened, and he hurriedly explained: "No, the student is not disrespectful, it really happened for a reason." ”
The emperor pondered for a moment, looked at Zhong Yang and said, "Clothes are things outside the body, even if you can't explain it this time, I won't drive you out." But you should explain it to yourself. ”
The man was very dissatisfied, and interjected: "Emperor, why bother! ”
The emperor raised his hand and motioned for him to stop, his voice was a little cold: "You don't need to say much, you can say it." ”
Zhong Yang just told the things one by one, but in the middle. He didn't know what Li Sheng was thinking, so he skipped what she did.
When Yun Niang heard this, she suddenly became annoyed in her heart, and thought: That's it? The credit is all for him to rob?
A little indignant, he rubbed Li Sheng next to him, Li Sheng turned around and smiled at her, didn't care much, and nodded at her.
The man saw that the emperor nodded with a smile, and then he turned to say, "Full of words!" Who knows if it's true or not. ”
Just when Zhong Yang didn't know what to do, Li Sheng spoke: "What I said is true, I saw it with my own eyes." ”
Then Li Sheng stood up leisurely, patted the creases on his clothes, and walked to the center of the hall, next to Zhong Yang.
A series of actions are done like flowing water, showing a noble atmosphere, and there is nothing wrong with it, leaving in the eyes of the emperor to praise again and again, he has never seen such a gentle and elegant person.
Li Sheng saluted the emperor before he slowly spoke: "The student is not talented, he happened to witness the whole process, and what he said is true. ”
Zhong Yang glanced at him gratefully.
The man patted his head and said disapprehensively, "How can you be a witness?" You're in this group. You came together when you just came. ”
Li Sheng turned around, looked at him, closed the fan with a brush, patted it on his hand, and said: "How can you not testify, you are worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of yourself, regardless of human feelings, just tell what you have seen and heard, what's wrong?" ”
"But you're all in this together." The man insisted.
"If I'm with him, will I be able to erase the truth of this matter?" Li Sheng asked rhetorically.
