He looked so serious and dignified that he could not even be softened by his beautiful complexion. At this time, people began to think that in addition to being a heartthrob and a cultivator prodigy, Prince Longqing also had an extraordinary role: he led the Ministry of Justice of the Temple, giving him unprecedented power and authority.
When both parties are seated separately, they are appropriately introduced to each other. After realizing that the person accompanying Prince Longqing was the big secretary Zeng Jing. The academy students sitting below them stood up again in respect.
Zeng Jing was the strategist opposite General Xuanwei back then. His inability to handle his own household affairs angered Her Majesty, although in the end he succeeded in gaining the trust of His Majesty and Her Majesty the Queen by annoying the noble families of Qinghe County. He then managed to quickly rise through the ranks and become one of the most important officials of the court.
The students of the academy were obviously self-righteous and proud, but if they couldn't get to the second floor after all, they would end up being officials of the imperial court, and they couldn't afford to annoy such an important person. But for Ning Que, who was sitting in the corner in the distance, he thought of something else. He glanced curiously at the senior officer from afar, and thought to himself,—— When I was little, you certainly didn't look so respectable.
"Wang Ying, a humble student from Linchuan, I am honored to meet the senior secretary."
"Zhong Dajun, a humble student from Yangguan, is honored to meet the senior secretary."
"Xie Chengyun of the Southern Jin Dynasty, it's an honor to meet the big secretary."
Xie Chengyun stood up elegantly, greeted the secretary with his hands folded, and smiled. Some noticed that he did not call himself a modest student, but this was not because of a lack of respect for the Grand Secretary, but simply because he did not want to make the impression of being better than some.
"Young Mr. Xie San is known throughout the country for his wisdom. I heard about your excellent performance in the exams of the Southern Jin Kingdom, even in Chang'an, and I was glad to hear about your hard work and academic progress in the Academy's Magic Skills course.
Zeng Jing stroked his beard and smiled at Prince Longqing: "Your Highness is also known as an unprecedented prodigy of the times, and now that you have been admitted to the academy, you should make friends with these outstanding and talented young people here."
Hearing this, Prince Long Qing nodded slightly, as if agreeing with the opinion of the big secretary. However, his movements are so subtle that they hardly show any sincerity, and his beautiful complexion is equally expressionless. It's not like he's arrogant or whatever, but the lack of emotion is an accurate translation of his attitude: he doesn't care at all.
An eagle does not despise an ant, and a large mountain does not look down on a small hump, because they do not belong to the same world at all, so they do not see the need to express any emotion. While this indifference represents the greatest pride and arrogance, it makes the neglected experience the most brutal forms of humiliation.
Nicholas Tse, who was known for his wisdom and grace in the academy, stood alone for a moment, then smiled sadly and finally returned to his seat. His smile looked slightly bitter, as long as someone looked closely.
...
...
What happened was just a small episode. The real problem at the banquet at the House of Victory is still hidden behind the curtains. The encounter between Prince Longqing and the crown prince of Yan involved infighting and struggle over the succession to the throne of Yan, regardless of whether the two brothers fought over it or not. Princess Li Yu was clearly on the side of the crown prince, and Prince Longqing was accompanied by the grand secretary, although it was clearly ordered by His Majesty, but no one could be sure that he was not a representative of Her Majesty's actual political tendencies.
The succession to the throne of Yan not only involved serious relations between the two countries, but also could further strengthen or weaken the transfer of power and balance between the two imperial forces of the Tang Empire. Nevertheless, in front of the Yan clan, the Xishan priests, and the students, both Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Grand Secretary were obliged to maintain the dignity and generosity of the elite members of the empire they represented.
"I had the privilege of accompanying Prince Longqing on his exploration of Chang'an and the surrounding area, and I was deeply impressed by His Highness's wisdom and wisdom, not to mention his extraordinary cultivation talent! I think it must be a piece of cake for His Highness to enter the second floor of the Academy.
Zeng Jing stroked his beard and openly praised Prince Longqing. No one knows what this faithful servant of the Empress thought when he openly praised a foreign guest in front of all the academy students. Even considering that he intended to suppress the alliance between the princess and the crown prince of Yan, it was quite inappropriate.
The student representatives present are the most outstanding elites of the college, with a high sense of pride and dignity engraved in their bones. They may not have heard of the succession to the throne of the Yan Kingdom, but when they saw that Prince Longqing had blatantly ignored Xie Chengyun before, they already disliked him very much. Now hearing Zeng Jing mention the matter on the second floor, he suddenly reminded them that this young man was indeed their biggest opponent.
Zhong Dajun raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not so easy to enter the second floor of the academy.
The open culture of the Don makes such interruptions in such cases not uncommon, especially among impulsives. The big secretary just smiled and didn't say anything, as if he wasn't at all surprised by such a reaction.
Priest Morley, who had been silent throughout the banquet, glanced at everyone coldly and said, "The Xishan Divine Kingdom is known for cultivating many outstanding talents, and Prince Longqing is the most extraordinary genius of the Enlightenment Academy in the past ten years. At the age of twenty, he is about to enter the state of "knowing his fate", which puts him on top of the world among the younger generation. So you tell me, if it's not him, who should go to the second floor of the academy?
As vice-chancellor of the Academy of Apocalypse, he enjoys a prestigious and respected position. No one expected him to speak so bluntly or even rudely. However, as bold as his words were, he skillfully backs up his claims with real facts and examples, which makes him all the more credible: in fact, who qualifies for the second tier of the academy if not the presence of the most powerful young generation in the world?
"Being on the edge of knowing the destiny of heaven should not be confused with the actual realm of knowing the destiny of heaven."
Hua Shanyue, the captain of the Gushan Headquarters, said sternly: "Many people claim to be prodigies in this world, but they have wandered on that stage all their lives, but they can't go further to the realm of the Mandate of Heaven. I may not be as gifted as Prince Long Qing, but he's only at the top of the perspective realm right now, so I doubt he'll be the strongest of the younger generation. I wonder if the priest was trying to flatter the prince too much.
The priests of Nishiyama Jingu are highly respected and respected in the countries they visit. However, as soon as they entered Chang'an City, despite the goodwill and politeness on the surface of the official banquet, the mood of the vast majority of people at the moment was the same as Hua Shanyue. They completely despise Taoists who they consider to be just magicians and clowns. Once they are overwhelmed by anger, there is no room for further politeness or subtlety, and they do not even hesitate to escalate the dispute with all sorts of crude suspicions and mockery.
Priest Morley tried his best to restrain his anger, he glared at Hua Shanyue fiercely, and said coldly: "Indeed, the Great Lake Kingdom, the Southern Jin Kingdom, and the Yuelun Kingdom have all seen the rise of young powerhouses. In contrast, I'm now begging to be inspired by the big names from Don!
Hua Xuan frowned and looked back at him, and said, "Our Wang Jinglu of the Tang Empire is currently serving under the Wei General, and due to the restrictions of the Imperial Center Administration, his title is only a bodyguard. In this sense, he is certainly not a big name, although so far no one has been able to snatch the title of 'invincible' from him!
These words hit the crowd very hard. Wang Jinglu of the Tang Dynasty was not from Xishan and had nothing to do with Buddhism. He rose to his current level entirely on his own, and he was called "Invincible". Even if Prince Long Qing came from the Divine Palace and claimed to be an extraordinary cultivation genius, it was impossible for him to claim to be a peerless until he really entered the Heavenly Mandate Realm or defeated the Wang Clan.
The placed man succumbed to a brief silence, which was soon interrupted by a very calm voice, which belonged to Prince Longqing, who remained silent throughout the banquet until now.
He raised his glass and looked at Hua Shanyue quietly, although he felt that he was staring at some distant place, in the middle of the barracks next to a large swamp. Then he said coldly: "Invincible before the world...... I've always wanted to change his title, unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to do so.
