"Three gentlemen, tomorrow's banquet is confirmed, and the prince will preside over it himself. To be able to have the prince in person, His Majesty's love for the three gentlemen is self-evident! ”

In the Guozi Prison, Wan Guili smiled and congratulated Tushan Sanjie, who came to the Guozi Prison half a day in advance.

Mr. Linxi waved his hand and said high-sounding words, "I am flattered, I am afraid that I will live up to Your Majesty's love." ”

Mr. Wanlin, as usual, was stingy with words and only drank a cup of tea.

Mr. Kongbi was still hot-tempered, "We recruit disciples, what kind of excitement is the prince coming, does he listen to him or listen to us when he comes?" ”

Frightened, Wan Saijiu hurriedly stretched out his hand to reassure, "Naturally, listen to you, listen to you." When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came, he mainly sat on the spot to prevent possible chaos. Do you think, at that time, the princes of Jiaodong County and Linjiang County will come, and there are many children of powerful people in the capital, the scene is chaotic, and there is no person with outstanding prestige like the prince in charge, how can these people be honest? I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also admired the names of the three gentlemen for a long time, isn't this a great thing for everyone. ”

At this time, the three old gentlemen all glanced at him together, Mr. Wanlin and Mr. Kongbi were silent, and Mr. Linxi said lightly: "Thank you Your Majesty for your love, we should carefully choose apprentices, in order to show literature, to thank Your Majesty." ”

Wan Saijiu laughed dryly, "Yes, yes, yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also do his best to help the three old gentlemen pick the mantle heirs." ”

——

"The crown prince is here to preside over in person?"

In the British Mansion, Lu Rusong sat in the study, looked at the information in front of him, pursed his mouth, and fell into thought.

Xia Jingyun's funeral for a prostitute did not stir up waves as he imagined, as if there was a pair of invisible hands that pressed down on the waves that should have surged, so that his good mood two days ago was gone.

But when he got to his position, it was no longer possible to let personal emotions affect his decision, and he had already put aside his regrets and dealt with those real big things, one of the most important of which was the Spring Festival banquet on the 18th day of the first lunar month.

Speaking of which, he and his daughter have to thank Concubine De, that stupid woman, Your Majesty was kind and gave her the right to choose a teacher for the king of Jiaodong County, what a good opportunity, but she actually recklessly hit the abacus on Tushan Sanjie.

Those three old things are the only three remaining heroes in the literary world, and their prestige, ability, and relationships are so powerful that they can't do it in all aspects, as long as they can become the prince's teacher, this prince can almost immediately have an extremely good officialdom background, but the key is that you have to have that ability!

Even after repeated measurements, he felt that he might not have that ability, so he retreated to the next best.

Concubine De's hand almost got into big trouble, although I don't know why, those three old things changed their minds and didn't make Concubine De a laughing stock in the world, but it also created a good opportunity for his grandson.

Since you Tushan Sanjie is openly accepting apprentices, the king of Jiaodong County can sign up, and the king of Linjiang County can't report for no reason, right?

And this kind of opportunity, if you are not selected, there will be no big loss, but if you are selected, it will be Concubine De and Xia Jingyun who have worked hard to make a wedding dress for someone else.

If only Shao'er hit, but the king of Jiaodong didn't, that would be the real best thing!

Thinking like this, the British prince has already begun to arrange it intensively, these days, let Mr. Fan lead a number of big Confucians to teach the king of Linjiang County a good lesson, and he heard that the five-year-old little fat man of the king of Linjiang was about to explode, and his eyes were straight when he walked.

Then just yesterday, I specially invited Mr. Lin's senior apprentice among the three heroes of Tushan, who is also a giant in the literary world today, Lu Lifeng, a great Confucian in Longshou Prefecture, to come to help.

In order to invite this, he made a lot of money and took care of all aspects, and in the end, the other party agreed to come to this troubled water for the sake of the same sect.

At this moment, the other party was in another study in the backyard, comparing the knowledge of the king of Linjiang County, and giving him a final explanation.

Seeing that Lu Rusong was silent, the staff said carefully: "Master, what do you think Your Majesty?" Presiding over such a major event in the literary world, and making friends with Tushan Sanjie openly, doesn't he really want to cultivate the prince? ”

As the dragon fighting party, they have naturally analyzed the overall situation, although they may not see the problems between His Majesty and the crown prince as thoroughly as Xia Jingyun, a person with thousands of years of historical experience, and may not be as clear and unique as Zhao Lao Zhuang and Su Lao Xianggong, but it is also about the same, and it is still very clear that His Majesty wants to abolish the prince, so he feels a little confused about His Majesty's decision.

"The old man knows!"

After thinking for a while, Lu Rusong suddenly stretched his brows, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is showing his attitude to the world, showing that he has completely abandoned the attitude of the prince, and at the same time intends to humiliate the prince. ”

"Huh?"

The staff looked puzzled.

"Think about it, why did this Spring Festival banquet attract so much attention?"

"Because you can worship the three heroes of Tushan as a teacher. And worshipping the three heroes of Tushan as a teacher, it can be said that it is a step to the sky for ordinary people, and for the prince who is aspiring to the great cause, he can have a huge reputation and win huge benefits. ”

The British Duke twisted his beard and smiled, smiling playfully, "But it's clear that the East Palace has a master?" ”

The staff reacted immediately, stroked their palms and smiled, "I see! Let the crown prince watch the people who replace him grow up, and personally push them forward, but he can't do anything, His Majesty's hand is really ruthless. ”

"And if the prince sees through this and misbehaves at the Spring Festival banquet, we, Concubine De, and the scholars of the literary world will all regard him as a great enemy, causing his already small prestige to plummet, and erecting countless enemies."

The British Duke analyzed with emotion, and then came to a conclusion, "The prince died early." What we have to do is to seize this opportunity and let Shao'er become a disciple of Tushan Sanjie! ”

"The master is so well prepared, and the king of Linjiang County is talented and intelligent, he will be able to succeed in one fell swoop!"

The British prince slowly bowed his head, stroked his beard lightly, and his majestic gaze revealed a burst of confidence that was bound to be won.

——

Compared with the solemnity and tension of the British Mansion, the painting style of the Jiang'an Hou Mansion has collapsed greatly.

In the backyard, Su Yuanshang, Gongsun Jing and Feng Xiuyun stood in a row, looking at the scene in front of them, with a helpless expression.

Xia Jingyun is taking Jiaodong County Wang Dongfang Bai, and Baiyun side to play a game there, the game is not complicated, it is a literacy card that he specially asked Zhang Dazhi's apprentice to help make, one side is the side, one side is the rest of the part, make up the whole word can eliminate a card, and finally all the cards are eliminated, even if you win.

Dongfang Bai was full of interest and was very happy, Xia Jingyun accompanied him with a smile, and helped to give a few points from time to time.

Only Bai Yunbian was still there with a reluctant face, feeling that a natural protagonist like him was actually playing such a mentally retarded game with the little kid here, which was really a loss.

When it was time for dinner, Mama Yuan took the king of Jiaodong to eat, and the game came to an end.

Xia Jingyun looked at the three of them while letting people pack up their things, "Okay, don't be bitter, before the big war comes, you should relax more, this is called relaxation." ”

Gongsun Jing had a bitter face, "Childe, this is a big thing, it is said that the British government has invited many great Confucians to teach day and night. Play. ”

Seeing Gongsun Jing, a man in his forties, pouting, looking like he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, Xia Jingyun felt funny, "If you test their skills, how old are these two children, no matter how much you teach, can they really remember?" If it's to test my skills, he won't need to learn it, so he just has fun, relaxes his mind, and shows his ability and princely demeanor tomorrow. ”

Gongsun Jing nodded subconsciously, but he always felt that something was wrong in his heart.

But now that the time has come to this point, it's useless to dwell on it.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, the eighteenth day of the first month, the rooster crowed just up, and before dawn, Dongfang Bai, the seventh son of the king of Jiaodong County, consciously got up as every day, and Mama Yuan, who was asleep outside, had already gotten up, served him to dress and wash neatly, and then used breakfast seriously, and waited for Xia Jingyun, who rarely got up early.

After a while, the uncle took his nephew, got into the carriage, and walked in the direction of the country.

Gongsun Jing, Bai Yunbian and other people who watched the ceremony sat in another carriage and followed behind.

The carriage inevitably slowed down as it approached Guozijian, but at this moment, another carriage followed directly, squeezing side by side with the carriage of the Marquis of Jiang'an.

Xia Jingyun lifted the side curtain and saw an unfamiliar face in the carriage next to him.

On that face, there is the majesty brought by the pampered and privileged people, the heroism of a person who has practiced martial arts and led the soldiers, and the vicissitudes of life carved by the passage of time, but more than that, it is the undisguised hostility in the eyes.

So, he bowed his hand slightly, "I've seen the British duke." ”

Lu Rusong also saw this young man who had been famous for a long time for the first time, and smiled slightly, "Xia Gongzi is really a young talent, and it is better to be famous than to see it." ”

Everyone can say the words of the scene, and no one on the scene will surrender their identities to do something stupid, each politely, after the two sides looked at each other deeply, they invariably lowered the curtain.

At Xia Jingyun's signal, the carriage of the Hou Mansion slowed down, and the carriage of the British Duke was not polite, instantly speeding up and taking the lead.

Xia Jingyun stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, glanced at the car of the Guogong Mansion in front of him, turned his head to look at Dongfang Bai, and said with a smile: "What do you think about being overtaken by them like this?" ”

Dongfang Bai only glanced at it and then retracted his gaze, and said calmly: "The mother concubine said, there is no need to fight for useless strength." ”

"What if he was finally accepted by those three old gentlemen today, and you missed this opportunity?"

Xia Jingyun's smile seemed to be playful, but there was no hint of ridicule in his eyes.

He wanted to see if his nephew, who had pinned the hopes and ideals of himself and everyone around him for the rest of his life, was a worthy of assistance.

If not, then while Dongfang Bai is still young, there is still room for brainwashing and training.

Dongfang Bai didn't know that his real big test came in the carriage so suddenly, he just followed his own heart and said: "Then even if he wins this game, but life is more than this game, as long as he doesn't admit defeat, everything will still have a chance." Besides."

He glanced at Xia Jingyun, "Isn't this an uncle!" Uncle, you have to work hard! ”

Looking at Dongfang Bai waving his little fist, Xia Jingyun smiled, "Then if I can't help you and let you lose in the end, will you blame me?" ”

Dongfang Bai frowned, "This is my business, it's already good for you to help me, why do you blame you?" ”

The carriage just stopped slowly at this moment, Xia Jingyun smiled and reached out and rubbed his head, "Let's go, this one today, Uncle will help you win them!" ”
