Chapter 68: Doubling the Praise
The emperor has been like this since ancient times.
Even if there are more emperors now, this situation still applies, as long as it is in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji is still the person with the most power.
The first child in the world!
Giving such a title not only shows the heroic and domineering side of the Great Song Emperor, but also shows his stinky and shameless side vividly.
Looking at the five big golden characters like iron paintings and silver hooks on the plaque, Qin Mo could only shout loudly: "Student leader, thank you for your majesty's grace." ”
The eunuch had a satisfied look on his face and motioned for the two little eunuchs to send the plaque over.
The little eunuch was very eye-catching, and first walked around in front of everyone with the plaque, as if he was parading the streets, and then handed it to Qin Mo with a smile on his face.
He Chang and Gu Meng walked over quickly, He Chang quietly took off the purse on his waist, quietly handed it to the eunuch, and said politely: "Father-in-law has worked hard all the way, drink a cup of tea to relieve fatigue." ”
The eunuch flipped his palm, his purse fell into the wide sleeves, and his movements were as smooth as flowing water, obviously not the first time he had received money, he tried to pretend to be a decent gentleman, and said: "I don't dare to talk about hard work for Your Majesty, and the miscellaneous family has to go back to Beijing to die, so I will leave first." ”
After speaking, he clenched his fist at He Chang, and then turned to go to the side of the flying car.
Gu Meng looked at the plaque that Qin Mo was holding, stroked his beard and said, "It's Your Majesty's handwriting, it's okay now, see who dares to disagree!"
Qin Mo smiled bitterly, there should be more people who are not convinced.
Gu Meng didn't think about it so much, he shouted domineeringly at the children: "Who said bad things about Qin Mo just now, some kind of stand up and say it again!"
Who would dare, neither of them would dare to borrow their guts.
Especially Cai Cheng, one of his faces was about to become a monkey fart, and before everyone could react, he quickly turned around and left quickly.
He Chang glanced at Gu Meng, meaning not to be so arrogant, it would damage Qin Mo's literary name.
"Ziyi, according to the custom, the person who wins the exam has to thank the examiner, so let's go to the street to sell a few simple gifts. He Chang said: "Take advantage of the noon to send it to Lord Shen, don't lose your courtesy." ”
Qin Mo hugged his fists and said, "Thank you Lord Xuezheng for reminding me." ”
An hour later, the three of them came to the door of the Shen Mansion with a few bags of snacks and dried fruits.
After the communication of the door, the housekeeper went out to greet him, and he seemed to be full of courtesy.
Shen Cheng sat upright on the main hall, and when the three of them walked into the courtyard, he got up to greet them.
He Chang has had several acquaintances with him, and coupled with the relationship between his superiors and subordinates, he does not seem unfamiliar when they meet.
Qin Mo handed over the gift with a respectful expression, Shen Cheng's face turned pale, and said, "This official does not accept gifts, He Xuezheng should know, what does this mean?"
He Chang smiled and said: "Of course the lower officials know that Lord Shen has a clean breeze on his sleeves, this is just some ordinary food, how can I come empty-handed when I come to visit, that would be too rude." ”
Shen Cheng's face improved, and he said with a straight face: "Then the official will accept it, but it will not be an example." ”
The butler took the gift and brought it out of the main hall.
Shen Cheng ordered someone to serve tea, and the four of them sat down as the guest of honor.
After a few words of greeting, Shen said honestly: "Actually, Qin Shuangjia was able to become the head of the calligraphy case this time, thanks to the secret help of His Royal Highness King Jia and the county lord Zimu, especially the county lord Zimu, she spoke up righteously, so that Lord Fu Yin changed his original intention. ”
Then, he recounted the process of marking the paper in detail, as well as the content of the conversation between Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Kai during the examination.
Qin Mo suddenly realized that he had spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and Zhao Feiyan not only did not come to make trouble, but helped himself a lot.
In fact, it is true, if it weren't for her and Zhao Kai's attitude of supporting Qin Mo, Fu Yin Ren Minxue would not give up easily, and his official rank was higher than Shen Cheng's, and if he insisted on Cai Cheng as the head of the case, even if Shen Cheng was a hundred unwilling, he would not be able to change anything in the end.
Qin Mo realized that he had thought about the government exam simply, and he thought that if he liked the examiner, he would be foolproof, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.
Seeing his solemn expression, Shen Cheng said with a smile: "There is no need to worry about the head of the Qin case, you have been named the 'No. 1 child in the world' by His Majesty, and although all the scholars and children of the Zhang family failed to make the list, they don't dare to trouble you again." ”
Qin Mo hugged his fists and said, "The student greets the examiner." ”
As for his title of the world's No. 1, it is also directly related to Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Kai.
It was Zhao Kai who sent his own Feiyu to send the news of Qin Mo High School's head to Bianliang, Tokyo, and spread it to the emperor's ears as quickly as possible.
After hearing about the emperor Zhao Ji, who was having dinner, he was suddenly overjoyed, happily threw away the rice bowl, opened the posture and wrote the five big characters of "the first child in the world", and ordered someone to make a plaque overnight, and sent it to Nanjing Mansion at dawn the next day.
......
After lunch, Qin Mo said goodbye to He Chang, Gu Meng and his classmates, and went to Nanjing Palace alone.
He Chang and Gu Meng went to the ferry and took a boat back to Xiayi County, and if the journey went well, they could arrive before dark.
With a stick of incense, Qin Mo came to the main gate of Hongqing Palace.
The majestic Hongqing Palace, from the Song Dynasty Zhenzong began to build, has been more than 100 years ago, after the continuous expansion and transformation of later generations, become the first major palace outside the Tokyo Imperial City, the momentum is majestic and magnificent, the palace is dotted around, pavilions and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water reflect each other.
Qin Mo was wearing a child's uniform and said to the golden-armored warrior at the door: "Student Qin Mo is the 'No. 1 child in the world' given by His Majesty, and he is here to pay a visit. ”
The warrior looked him up and down, and said in a muffled voice: "His Royal Highness King Jia and Lord Zimu are not in the palace, and the two of them went to the Miaoyin Temple in the south of the city early in the morning. ”
Qin Mo clenched his fists: "Thank you." ”
He found a carriage and went out of town to Miaoyinguan.
Miaoyin Temple is a very famous Taoist temple, built in the period of the Five Dynasties, because the emperor Zhao Ji advocated Taoism, resulting in the Taoist temple in the Great Song Dynasty incense is very prosperous, this view is no exception.
Guan Zhu Tan Hai Zhenren is a person who is quite profound, proficient in various Taoist works and various spells, especially good at contemplating appearances, and has made great achievements in chess.
Every time Emperor Zhao Ji visited Nanjing Mansion, he would set aside time to visit Tanhai Zhenren and play against him plus fortune telling.
The emperor's father attaches so much importance to the person, and his son Zhao Kai naturally does not dare to despise it, so on the second day after the end of the government examination, he took Zhao Feiyan to Miaoyinguan.
The carriage returned in the dust, and Qin Mo stood in front of the tall mountain gate of Miaoyin Temple.
On the left and right sides of the mountain gate stood a Taoist boy with tied hair, wearing a wooden hairpin, wearing a dark blue Taoist robe, and stepping on ten square shoes.
He was just about to ask, but the Dao boy standing on the right took a step forward and said, "The person who came is the head of the Qin case?"
He was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "The student is Qin Mo." ”
The Taoist boy made a gesture of invitation and said, "Your guest has been waiting inside for a long time, and the poor road will guide you." ”
Qin Mo frowned slightly, thinking to himself how could Zhao Feiyan know that I was coming, and also explained to the Taoist boy guarding the mountain gate in advance, could it be that she had the ability to predict the future?
With suspicion, he strode into the mountain gate.
Passing through the mountain gate, there is a Lingguan Palace, which enshrines the statue of Wang Lingguan with three eyes and round eyes, armor and whip.
This was the first time he had visited the Taoist temple, and he felt that everything was new.
Under the leadership of Dao Tong, he soon came to the reception room of the Lord Tanhai Zhenren, and heard hearty laughter coming from afar.
"Qin, please come in. Dao Tong stood at the door and said, obviously he didn't plan to go in with Qin Mo.
Qin Mo walked in with a calm expression, not the slightest timidity because of the noble status of the people inside.
The reception room is a large area, with portraits of various Taoists enshrined on the walls on both sides, and a chess table in the middle of the room, on which sunlight shines through the small round window.
There is one person sitting on each side of the chess case, on the left is a young man wearing a four-clawed dragon robe, and on the right is an old man wearing a dark Taoist robe.
The young man is Jiawang Zhao Kai, the old Taoist beard is gray, but his face is full of red light, and he looks energetic, and he looks at least seventy years old.
Beside Zhao Kai, Zhao Feiyan, who was dressed in a sky-blue long dress, stood with a serene expression on her face, and a pair of big eyes were all on the chess case.
The two were playing against each other, Qin Mo looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, the two of them were actually playing against each other.
Once again, he suspected that it was not the right way to open it, and in such a beautiful picture, it was not Go, who would believe that a prince and a well-known veteran were playing beast chess.
It's like a pure beautiful girl eating stinky tofu on the street, and her image is really not very good.
The three of them didn't notice Qin Mo's arrival, which made him even more embarrassed.
To break the embarrassment, he raised his right hand to his mouth and coughed dryly.
Cough...... Ahem!
The three of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at him, an uninvited guest.
"Case Chief Qin, you're here. Zhao Kai said with a smile, and then said to Zhao Feiyan in a very meaningful tone: "Sister, what you expected was really accurate, he really found here." ”
Zhao Feiyan had an unconcealed pride on her face and said, "Of course, when did I miss it." ”
Lao Dao is the owner of the Taoist temple here, the Taoist name is Tanhai Zhenren, he has a pair of extremely sharp eyes, and he looks Qin Mo up and down with a gaze that seems to be able to see through everything.
Qin Mo's heart beat faster involuntarily, as if all his secrets were exposed in front of Lao Dao.
"This is the head of the Qin case who was named 'the first child in the world', and he is really heroic and extraordinary, and he deserves to be the founder of two new penmanship and beast chess. Lao Dao said with a smile, with a kind expression on his face.
Qin Mo took a deep breath, the feeling of being seen through just now was so strong, fortunately, Lao Dao retracted his gaze in time, but it still made him palpitate, he said in a humble tone: "The real person praised, the student can have these achievements, which are inseparable from the careful teaching of the family teacher Gu Meng, so he does not dare to be greedy for heavenly merit." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Feiyan showed admiration.
Lao Dao even gave a thumbs up and said sincerely: "Young people are not arrogant or impatient, it is extremely commendable, no wonder His Royal Highness King Jiawang respects you so much." ”
Zhao Kai also smiled and said: "Nanjing Mansion is an outstanding person, and the head of the Qin case is an excellent person, although this is the first time we have met, but this king has long heard of your name, and he can be regarded as a god friend for a long time." ”
