Chapter 023: Selected Writings of Zhaoming

As soon as Xie Jiqing left, Qiu Shi immediately ran into Xie Ling's room and asked, "Lang Jun, does the head of the family blame you?" ”

"No, my grandfather is actually for my good and for the sake of our Xie family, but I always think that our Xie family has always made concessions to the imperial power, hidden outside the temple, not striving for fame and fortune, and not authoritarian and selfish, but why are so many people still innocent and vain?

The master once said that the honor and snobbery, such as the guest, are not only extraordinary things, but they cannot be left behind. Is it really possible to avoid all of this by being out of the world? In fact, mud and temples are really no different. ”

Seeing Xie Ling say this, the moonlight outside the window reflected an extremely bright light in her clear and deep pupils, and Qiu Shi was also extremely uncomfortable in his heart, and couldn't help muttering: "Lang Jun, you must be very sad!" ”

Obviously, everything he does is for the sake of the family, in order to stir up turbidity and promote purity, punish adultery and eliminate evil, but he cannot be recognized by the head of the family, or maybe not by the world, everything has to be borne alone.

Xie Ling didn't feel uncomfortable, but turned to look at her and said, "It's a spring wedge in a few days, right?" ”

"Yes, March 3rd Festival, Lang Jun, where do you want to play?"

After all, she was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and when she mentioned the matter of going out to play, Qiu Shi's eyes flashed with joy.

Xie Ling smiled and didn't answer, but secretly said in his heart: Every year on the third day of March, the prince Xiao Tong will hold a banquet in the East Palace, inviting all famous scholars and students to play with the pen and ink, and choose words to appreciate together.

The prince has a good nature, elegant and good literature, likes to attract talented people, appreciate love tirelessly, all those who have both talents, regardless of cold, can display their talents at this banquet, if the poems can be recognized by the celebrities and the appreciation of the prince, you can choose to record as the prince's "Anthology", this poetry feast presided over by the prince Xiao Tong has been known as the prosperity of the most prosperous culture in the Southern Liang, its influence has even shone on the generations for thousands of years, and the people of later generations also call it "Zhaoming Anthology".

It can be said that if anyone's poems can be recorded in Prince Zhaoming's "Anthology", his name will be as glorious as the word "Zhaoming" and will be famous for centuries.

In her previous life, she introduced Chen Shuo to the prince's East Palace, and at that banquet in the East Palace, she overwhelmed the crowd with a poem and became famous, and since then she has been appreciated by the prince and many powerful people, and has since entered the official career.

Thinking of that poem, Xie Ling couldn't help but bend her lips and smile, Chen Shuo's amazing talent in her previous life really made her sigh to herself, those ideas beyond her predecessors, and the grand plan constructed for the future world also made her intoxicated, so that she also wanted to break the decadent and fallen system like Daliang, and to create a peaceful and prosperous world where "the prince violates the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime, and people with lofty ideals in the world can enter the temple with their talents".

She used the strength of her scholar clan to give him strong support, and promoted the "good policy" he conceived to the Son of Heaven, and did not hesitate to break the interests of the scholar clan to fulfill his "great ideal".

It's a pity that what she didn't expect was that an aspiring man also had a ruthless heart and ambition enough to burn everything, in her previous life, it was this man who was pushed to the peak of power by her with such deep scheming and resourcefulness, calculating the chaos in the world, causing hundreds of thousands of people to float corpses all over the field.

Thinking of this, Xie Ling took out her pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and traced it on a piece of Saeki paper again, this time not a painting, but a line of words.

Xie Ling's words, Qiu Shi has already seen them, but every time she looks at them, she still can't help but look at them twice, although she doesn't know how good it is, but her intuition is pleasing to the eye and her mood is comfortable.

Just as she was thinking like this, Xie Ling handed her a piece of Saeki paper full of words:

"Memorize the content of this word for word, and when the time comes, I will take you to the Prince's East Palace to attend the banquet."

As soon as Xie Ling's words fell, Qiu Shi looked up at her, and a kind of unbelievable surprise suddenly surged into his heart, straight like a tide.

"Lang...... Lang Jun, what are you talking about, you have to take me to the banquet in the Prince's East Palace. ”

"Yes, not only that, but I want you to make a name for yourself at the banquet as my handmaiden."

Qiu Shi's pupils widened again, she couldn't stand such a surprise, and she knelt down in excitement.

"Lang Jun, I'm ...... What can I do? ”

Qiu Shi was speechless, her eyes fell on the Saeki paper in her hand again, she knew every word on it, although she didn't know how good the content was written, but she knew that if it came out of her mouth, it would be enough to shock all the literati in the prince's east palace.

"You are my handmaiden, and what you do represents my face. I think you can, you can! ”

Qiu Shi immediately bowed his head and bowed, and at this moment, the door sounded softly, and Xie Ling said: "Please come in!" ”

The door opened, and Midnight walked in.

"Meet Lang Jun at midnight!"

Xie Ling nodded: "What's the matter?" ”

"When Ling Ye set up a trap in the Jinxiang Garden in Leshanhou according to Lang Jun's instructions today, he found a person, who was very similar to the person who was assassinated in the Jin Tomb that day by Lang Jun, less than seven feet tall, with a slight lame left foot, and the eyes were one big and one small, one of which was a white eye with a low drop, as if Lang Jun said that he had a fear of light."

Xie Ling's expression quickly became solemn and asked, "Where is this person at the moment?" ”

Ling Ye was ashamed again: "Ling Ye is useless, this person is very cunning, Ling Ye was on the way to chase him, and he lost it." ”

"Where did you lose it?"

"Gushan Xiangshan Temple outside Dongfu City."

Gushan Xiangshan Temple is one of the 480 temples built by Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan worships Buddha, once sent the prince Xiao Tong to retreat on behalf of his monk in this temple, because the prince had lived here, this temple has also become a royal temple.

If this person escapes into Xiangshan Temple, and there are others as cover, it is indeed like a sea of mud cattle, and it is difficult to find.

"Okay, I see, you go down!"

"Yes."

As soon as Midnight left, Qiu Shi looked at Xie Ling worriedly:

"Lang Jun, are you going to look for this person?"

"It's a small matter, but it's a big thing that I give you."

Qiu Shi was flattered and replied again and again: "Yes." He added, "Lang Jun once said that he would give Chen Shuo a big gift in three days, could it be ......?"

"Yes." Xie Ling nodded with a smile.

……

The next day, another piece of news came out of Taicheng, which once again became a topic of conversation among the people of Jiankang City.

"Have you heard? Yesterday, someone handed a fold to the lungstone letter, accusing Dong Shizi and Xia Houhong of ignoring the royal law and committing crimes at the feet of the Son of Heaven, not only killing people and robbing, insulting their wives and daughters, but even Princess Anyang was bullied by these two! ”

"Yes! The king of Anyang sued His Majesty's palace, and His Majesty was furious, and summoned An Le Hou to the front of the Wende Palace and reprimanded him severely, and even cut An Le Hou's position! You say it's funny or not, then An Le Hou was still avenging his son's grievances the day before, and in the blink of an eye, even he himself was splashed with dirty water, and the funeral in this family has become a happy event in Jiankang City that attracts people to laugh and talk, this is really ......"

"Retribution is not happy! Haven't you heard that Dong Shizi and Xia Houhong were sent by heaven because they did a lot of evil and did a lot of injustice? ”

"Speaking of Tiansend, I have to sigh about the poems written by the Lang Jun of the Xie family, which is really appropriate to the situation!"

"Isn't it? It's really not a poem that the Xie family can compose, but although it doesn't look like it, it's expensive in practicality, at least it can attract lightning. ”

"Hahaha...... Very much, very ......"

Xie Jiqing, who heard these discussions, instantly understood: It turns out that this is what Ah Ling said about being well-prepared! Even the reputation of these two people after their death was calculated!

Xiao Hong, the king of Linchuan who sued in front of the Son of Heaven, also didn't get a good deal at all, and was beaten down by Xiao Yan, scolding him for being stupid, and the son he taught was also stupid.

Xiao Hong held back his grievances and grievances and had nowhere to vent, and he also returned home with this anger and scolded Xiao Zhengze fiercely, so that Xiao Zhengze was speechless, so he simply hid in the quilt as a turtle, and never dared to climb out again.

So when Xiao Zhengde and Chen Shuo returned to Jiankang, what they saw Xiao Zhengze was a shrunken appearance that was so frightened that he couldn't even lift his head.

After several inquiries, he learned about the rumored so-called "thunder split", and Chen Shuo immediately found the key:

"You say, she asked you to put two poles on the two mountains of gold?"

"Yes, yes, what did she say, 'Set up two optimus pillars to strengthen my majesty', so I listened to her set up two benchmarks on the golden mountain, you didn't see it, that Dong Xian and Xia Houhong pounced on those two benchmarks, and instantly turned into charcoal ashes, that scene was really scary, too scary!

This Xie Ling, he must have learned some kind of magic in Luofu Mountain, eldest brother, let alone the eldest daughter of their Xie family in the future, I can't even offend the little maid beside her. Don't look for me in the future, don't look for me! ”

Xiao Zhengze wailed on the side, but Chen Shuo frowned.

"Didn't I send you a letter telling you not to go to Xie's house?" He asked.

Let Xiao Zhengze ask to marry the eldest daughter of the Xie family, Xiao Zhengde controlled Xie Ling, it was originally the plan they had set before, as long as the two daughters of the Xie family were in hand, they would not worry about the Xie family not being attached to them, but it was a pity that they took a wrong step, so he sent a letter to Xiao Zhengze to cancel the original plan.

At this time, I heard Xiao Zhengzhi say: "What letter? When did you send me the letter? By the way, didn't you give me the bad idea to go to Xie's house to propose marriage? ”

Chen Shuo's face immediately darkened: That is to say, Xiao Zhengze did not receive the letter at all, so whose hands did this letter fall into?

Immediately, Chen Shuo thought of Xie Ling's eyes when he looked at him in Wuxing County, it was so disdainful and ridiculed, with a kind of cold hostility that seemed to have been grudged for a long time, this hostility was by no means formed overnight or because of one thing, as if it was born in the body, could it be......
