After Lao Gao read out the holy decree, Li Er continued: "In addition to expanding enrollment this year, the Ministry of Rites also reported a list, which is the top ten in this imperial examination. Since ancient times, there is no first, there is no second martial arts, these top ten are very good, as for who is selected as the first champion of this imperial examination, the Ministry of Rites has not made a conclusion. Therefore we will consult with the court today. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Cheng Yanjin laugh and shout: "Your Majesty, the old saying that there is no first and no second has long been broken. Champion Hou Ke is recognized as the first in literature and martial arts. ”

Xiao Rui grabbed the person, and said in his heart What are you doing at this time?

"Ahem, Lu Guogong, don't be kidding, I don't know who made up this kind of ranking, I don't admit it, I don't admit it...... All colleagues testify that Xiao Rui has never admitted it. ”

Everyone laughed, "Why should Master Hou be modest? The name of the first person in the world has been shouted for many years, and it is recognized in the world, and no one is unconvinced. ”

Emperor Li Er also scolded with a smile: "Yes! Haven't you always been afraid of heaven and earth? Why don't you dare to be the first in the world at this time? ”

"But today is not for you to compete with a group of juniors. You are the one who wrote the question, and the test is of the younger generation. Although those who can enter the Jinshi and the first are all talents, they must always choose one to be the champion. ”

"Come on, the top ten in the Imperial Examination will go to the temple!"

So, the chamberlain Lao Gao opened another notebook, which was the top ten list of the imperial examinations submitted by the Ministry of Rites. The martial arts ministers above the Taiji Hall all turned their heads to look in the direction of the gate.

"Li Jingren of Xuanliang Prefecture, Di Renjie of Kuizhou, Huang Yaoshi of Chang'an, Li Chengqian of Chang'an, Li Lizhi of Chang'an, Wei Yanran of Chang'an, Li Wei of Bianzhou, Cui Ning'er of Qinghe, Xia Huairen of Tanzhou, Pei Dong of Hedong come to the palace!"

Lee Kyung-in?

Hearing Li Jingren's name again, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, who served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, still couldn't help but be in a trance.

The first one is this Li Jingren, alas...... How nice would it be if it was my family?

But facing the light, everyone saw the person who walked in the first place, although it was not very real, but as the other party really walked into the center of the hall, Li Jingren was still recognized.

Hiss......

"Is it really Jing Renxian's nephew? Brother Chengfan Wang, congratulations, your family Jingren has quietly taken the lead, but you are hiding it from everyone? You'll have to set the wine when you get back. Zong Zhengqing Li Xiaogong opened his mouth to say hello.

"Congratulations to King Jiangxia!"

……

Countless people congratulated.

This, this...... What's going on?

Li Daozong stepped forward tremblingly, looking at Li Jingren in front of him in disbelief, the familiar face, the scene that had appeared many times in his memory...... Everything seems so unreal.

"Y-You're really Erlang?" Li Daozong stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the other party's cheek, but he was afraid that it was a dream, and he didn't dare to break it.

Li Jingren's eyes were full of tears, and he fell to his knees with a thud, "Father! It's me, I'm Erlang. The boy is back! ”

Three years of longing, all turned into this cry, Li Jingren knelt tightly to protect Li Daozong's waist, and just howled and cried.

Li Daozong leaned over, held his son's cheeks with both hands, looked and looked, looked and looked, pinched his thighs in disbelief, and hissed...... Hurt! Not a dream.

W-What the hell is going on?

"Erlang, Erlang, are you back? What really happened back then? You make it so hard to find a father......"

Even though he had led thousands of troops and horses, Li Daozong, a fierce general of the clan, couldn't help but cry at this time. The joy of being lost and regained, the sadness of missing my beloved son in the past few years...... The heavy taste wells up in my heart, and it can really be described as a mixed feeling.

At this moment, Xiao Rui took the lead in applauding. How could there be no applause for such a touching scene?

The Manchu civil and military forces don't seem to be used to it, and they don't understand what this applause means? But with Xiao Rui's applause, many people were also clapping, so the applause of the entire Taiji Hall was thunderous, including the emperor, everyone was celebrating the reunion of Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, and his son.

The father and son calmed down a little, Li Daozong picked up his son, and then turned to Emperor Li Er and asked, "Your Majesty, what's going on?" ”

At this time, Li Daozong absolutely didn't believe it, Emperor Li Erneng didn't know that this Liangzhou Li Jingren was his son?

The emperor smiled and said, "Chengfan, how is this surprise?" ”

Surprise?

Well! Pleasantly surprised.

Li Daozong was about to ask, but Li Er stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiao Rui, "You have to ask this kid." ”

Everyone looked at Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui is also unambiguous, directly and discerningly, without shirking responsibility at all.

"Let's be honest, back then, I refused to accept Jingren, which was my rule before my words. But Uncle Huang shouldn't have smashed my drunken immortal building, it's not right to slap people in the face like this. Who doesn't know that I, Xiao Rui, will be repaid? So, I rehearsed a play of stealing beams and changing pillars. found an opportunity to kidnap Jingren. ”

"It's my revenge to let your father and son suffer three years of separation! How's it going, Uncle Huang? Surprised, surprised, surprised? ”

Burst......

You, you...... You're ruthless!

Li Daozong's lungs were about to explode.

Xiao Rui spread his hands, "Of course, if you don't be ruthless, I'm afraid that someone will dare to smash my store casually in the future." ”

You, you......

At this time, Li Jingren said with a smile: "Master Hou, don't joke with your father. Father, it's not like this......"

Well?

Without waiting for Li Daozong to ask, Xiao Rui straightened his face, "Boy, what do you call me?" ”

"Huh?" Li Jingren was stunned for a moment, it seems that he is called Hou Ye, right? Is it implying that I am calling it a raw point?

"Ahem, the student meets the teacher!"

Uncle?

Everyone was dumbfounded, why is it a generation shorter? And it's called Uncle Shi? Does that mean that Li Jingren's teacher is Xiao Rui's fellow disciple?

I think of the origin of the candidate who just announced the edict to go to the temple, Li Jingren of Liangzhou. Everyone suddenly realized, is it not Li Jingren's teacher, is it Xue Li, the second in the world in Liangzhou? Champion Hou Xiaorui's second brother?

Di Renjie, who was also in the main hall, then understood, no wonder I asked him to call him senior brother, it turned out that he was my uncle's student.

But like that, Xiao Rui was still dissatisfied, and stepped forward and knocked a loud chestnut: "In front of your father and many elders, do you want to be a generation shorter than me?" Shouting with Cheng Qian! ”

Next to him, Li Chengqian also reminded: "Cousin, call me brother-in-law." ”

"Ahem! Brother-in-law. Brother-in-law, don't joke with your father, it was your father's fault at the beginning, he has seen a lot of age in the past few years, why do you bother him again? Li Jingren pleaded.

Xiao Rui smiled and nodded, then turned around, bowed to Li Daozong, and sincerely apologized: "Uncle Huang, when I was angry for a while, I caused you to be separated from your beloved son for three years, but it was Xiao Rui who apologized to you." ”

"Brother Renxian of the prospect for three years is a gentleman, and if he wants him to transform into a human, it is not appropriate to live in Xiaojiazhuang, so he has to work hard. So Xiao Rui took matters into his own hands and sent people to the border of Liangzhou, so that he could follow my brother-in-law Xue Li to learn art. ”

"Now that he has returned in three years, with Jingren's talent and learning, he is enough to be the champion of today's department. Returning Uncle Huang a champion is considered Xiao Rui's apology, are you still satisfied? ”

Everyone suddenly realized that everything was to help Li Jingren become a talent. In this way, what champion Hou Jianwei will reciprocate is completely modest, but it is actually a lot of hard work.

Li Daozong was speechless with emotion, just nodded again and again, and even wanted to salute Xiao Rui.

At this time, someone next to him shouted: "Master Hou, my little cub is also very tight, why don't you help train it too?" Don't talk about the three-year separation, it doesn't matter if you don't see each other again in the second half of your life, as long as you can produce a champion......"
