Ning Yude is one of the oldest people in this batch of Jinshi, ranked in the position of Tanhua, and has a mellow and kind personality.

In less than two days, the Qionglin banquet held by the Ministry of Rites was about to begin, and of course, a more important ceremony would be held before the meal, "Royal Street Praise Official", which was ordered by Ma Jin to be carried out by the Ministry of Rites according to the memory of his previous life.

In the early morning, the new branch scholars wore new official robes, rode high-headed horses, golden flowers on their heads, gongs and drums, and walked on the royal road from the most prosperous Suzaku Street in the Shendu.

At the beginning of the street celebration, Ma Jin specially ordered all the new science and technology scholars to participate in the street parade together, and even sent the guards of the Qianniu Guard Brigade to protect it, and the court musicians drummed for it, so that the event reached the climax.

Shendu rich and noble families, ordinary people, when have they seen such a grand scene, everyone is excited inexplicably, you squeeze me, I squeeze you, and the crowd bursts of cheers from time to time.

The sergeants of the Five Cities Terracotta Division were all sweating, holding water and fire sticks to maintain order, and they were still squeezed by the enthusiastic people.

The new science and technology scholars also returned the salute to the onlookers one by one with joy, in order to thank the enthusiasm of the people of Shendu. Not to mention the people of Shendu, they have never seen such a grand and grand scene, especially they are the protagonists, so that the pride in their hearts is about to overflow, and they are more and more grateful today.

It took a long time for the new scholars to arrive at the Jinye Pond Garden of Daming Palace, and when the new scholars met Ma Jin, the Qionglin banquet began.

At the beginning of September, the scenery of Jinye Pond is also very charming and beautiful, with a hundred flowers competing and sparkling, and a group of autumn light is harmonious.

This is a very relaxed gathering, similar to the group worship activities of Ma Jin's previous life, where friends who had made friends with each other in the same year gathered in groups to chat. There are also active new science and technology scholars around the big guys, showing their talents hard.

Ma Jin was accompanied by the cabinet ministers, walking around at will, chatting here and there, which seemed quite close to the people and kind. Let his court officials be dumbfounded one by one, and think that the emperor has changed.

Ning Yude is a scholar from a remote state capital, and he is a poor man, so he naturally doesn't know any big people, only two Jinshi who are familiar with each other and are also from a cold family, and the three of them get together to eat and drink, you must know that this is a royal banquet, and I have only heard of it in rumors, and now I have the opportunity to eat and drink wildly.

While Ning Yude was dealing with this in the same year, he looked around and saw the emperor walking towards him.

Ma Jin and the eldest grandson Wuji walked over with a smile, and when they saw Ning Yude and the three of them, they walked over, and the three of them saw the emperor coming over and hurriedly knelt down to pay respects. Ma Jin smiled and let the three of them get up.

The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly stepped forward and pointed to Ma Jin at the middle-aged scholar with a thin figure and a mellow face: "Your Majesty, this is Tanhua Ning Yude, who ranked third in the first class of this year's imperial examination!" ”

As soon as Ning Yude heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, he hurriedly bowed forward again.

"Grass People...... Weichen, Ning Yude knocks to see Your Majesty! ”

Ma Jin motioned for Wang Chengen to step forward and help Ning Yude up, and looked at the other two with a restrained look, then smiled:

"This is not above the imperial palace, you don't need so many courtesies, you can relax." Saying that, he motioned for the other two gentlemen to leave, Ma Jin was also a wage earner in his previous life, so he naturally understood their feelings, and when he met the company's boss in the company in his previous life, he was also like a bird, and he couldn't let go.

When the other two scholars saw Ma Jin letting them leave, they hurriedly saluted and retreated as if they had been pardoned.

"Ning Tanhua, can have words"

"Weichen, the word is young"

"Youdu, but from Liangzhou?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen is from Guobei County, Fangping County, Liangzhou" Ning Yude didn't know the emperor's intentions, and hurriedly replied.

"Have you ever been married?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen has been married since the eighteenth year, and he already has a son under his knees." Ma Jin's repeated questions made Ning Yude's mind blurry, could it be that His Majesty wanted to point out a marriage for me? Have you ever heard that there are unmarried adult princesses in the palace? Could it be that the young lady of the prince's minister's family? Am I promised? Or do you say yes?

Ma Jin looked at Ning Yude, who had a cute face in front of him, and was very amused in his heart. Of course, if Ma Jin knew what Ning Yude was thinking, I am afraid that he would reward him with twenty boards.

"Oh! How old are children? ”

Ma Jin's question made Ning Yude more and more confused, but he still bowed down and replied:

"Your Majesty! The child Caichen is already the year of the weak crown. ”

Ma Jin Huo was startled, and almost stood up, yes, yes, even Ning Caichen appeared, this is not the world of chatting about fasting? However, after being the emperor for a long time, the city government still has it, so after calming down, Ma Jin asked lightly:

"Your son's name is Ning Caichen?"

"Your Majesty! The child is none other than Ning Caichen! ”

"Where are you now?"

Ma Jin's question made Ning Yude stunned, and he didn't know what to think of Ning Yude's face became heavy and sad, and after a while Ning Yude replied:

"Wechen hasn't been back since he went to Shendu ten years ago, and Wechen doesn't know what's going on at home."

"I really don't know how to answer Your Majesty!"

When Ma Jin heard this, he silently knew in his heart that this was the situation of the poor scholars now, in order to study and become an official, he had to stay away from his hometown, and he abandoned his wife and children to travel all over the country. In the end, the official is not famous, he despises all sentient beings, and he will die miserable.

Ma Jin couldn't help sighing, "It's the imperial court, I'm sorry for you!" ”

Ning Yude heard Ma Jin's exclamation, and was greatly moved in his heart, knelt down and said, "Don't dare to be Your Majesty like this!" Your Majesty Rende Enbuhaine, let me and other scholars from the poor family have a promotion rank, so that the ministers and others will be grateful. ”

Ma Jin was a little moved by what Ning Yude said: "The country is changing, and there are talented people in the generations." You are all the talents of my Great Zhou Dongliang, and today you stand out thanks to your talents, and then you will do your best to serve the court, and the court will not hesitate to be generous! ”

Ning Yude was enthusiastic when he heard this, and couldn't help but say loudly, "Dare not serve your life!" ”

Ma Jin saw Ning Yude's blood boiling, and smiled slightly, what he wanted was this effect.

Ning Caichen...... Ning Caichen...... I remember you," Ma Jin muttered.

…………

At this time

Guobei County, Liangzhou

The black clouds rolled in the ruined Lanruo Temple, the breath was depressed, and there were bursts of sound in the distance.

Ning Caichen clenched the strap of the bookcase and hid behind Yan Chixia shivering

"Brother Yan, this old demon of Montenegro has great powers, have we ever beaten it?"

"Don't worry, this is not the Song Kingdom, now the Son of Heaven is in the Great Zhou, any demons and monsters who come to the Great Zhou will have their mana greatly reduced, you just protect yourself, and leave the rest to me."

Yan Chixia flew out first, bit her index finger, carved a yin-yang fish pattern in her hand, and stood on the wall of Lanruo Temple and slapped it fiercely below.

One spell after another was used by Yan Chixia, and great changes took place here.

"Heaven and earth are infinite, and Qiankun borrows the law ......"

"Boom ......"

A huge explosion came, and the old demon of Black Mountain, who was blocked by the Fu Seal, was suddenly blown up.

The old demon of Montenegro looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart was furious, after all, no one would calmly watch his subordinates being killed by others.

He flew into the air and said, "Stinky Daoist, you dare to kill my subordinates, suffer death......

Yan Chixia scolded indifferently: "Bah, you shameless old monster, don't you only allow your people to kill us, and don't allow me to kill them?" ”

The old demon of Montenegro snorted and waved his robe, but he could see a huge stone flying out, hitting Yan Chixia like lightning and knocking him out.

"I want your life......"

Yan Chixia, who fell out, did not panic, jumped up suddenly, took out the bow and arrow from her back, and shot the arrow.

"Old youkai, you go die......"

I don't want the old demon of Montenegro to grab the arrow, throw it on the ground casually and say: "Hmph, carving insect skills, since you want to find death, then this king will be fulfilled by you."

"Old youkai! It's not certain who will die! ”

With Yan Chixia's roar, the divine sword in her hand shot out, directly piercing the body of the old demon of Black Mountain.

But the invincible divine sword in the past did not play much role at this time, but only made the old demon of Montenegro suffer a lot.
