The wind and rain are thick in front of the Confucius Temple

As soon as this voice came out, the dust settled, and the first person in this martial arts exam was He Chen, although this process was a little difficult to explain.

He Chen stood in the middle of the field a little dazed, he seemed a little lonely, he looked at the little master, only to see the little master smile slightly, he seemed to have an understanding, and suddenly felt that Chai Xintong was not just giving him a back basket, the empty back basket was a little heavy.

The Holy Emperor took a deep look at the little master and left.

At this time, the blue circle of light disappeared, and the audience suddenly erupted in applause.

No matter what the process is, it was He Chen who won the championship.

It's just that the faces of several people in the military department are a little ugly, they originally took a fancy to He Chen, and prepared to contact him after he failed, but they didn't expect He Chen in the loser group to be able to win the championship step by step.

They then closed the notebook, thought about it, and walked out into the middle of the field first.

"Congratulations to Mr. He, if Mr. is not disgusted, come to the military department to sit down. "I can't take it under my helmet, but I don't want to fight him.

With that, they walked away.

The rest of the departments naturally also have a fancy for He Chen, but the military department has a transcendent status among the six departments, and they are not as good as others, so they can only think about it, and they don't dare to go up to get close to He Chen.

When the people were scattered, the little master walked up, patted He Chen's shoulder and said, "Not bad." ”

Afterwards, he said to the few young gentlemen and the group of eunuchs who were present: "The martial arts examination is over, and the results of the literary examination will be announced in a month, and the literary examination will happen at any time, please take it seriously." ”

After finishing speaking, he also brushed his sleeves away, and King Jin ran up and looked at He Chen carefully.

In the end, he didn't see anything special, he even thought that it would be good to let Xu Changan take charge of the Confucius Temple in the future, he really didn't find the excellence of this internal successor.

The little master's back was getting farther and farther away, and he could only chase after him in a hurry, shouting, "Wait for me!"

Chai Xintong glanced at the few people left on the field, who could only be taken out of the palace by the little eunuch.

Chai Xintong patted He Chen's shoulder and motioned for him to follow.

He Chen was a little flattered, and he didn't dare to put down the basket on his back, just like a child who made a mistake was punished by his parents for carrying buds, and quietly followed behind Xu Changan and Chai Xintong.

He didn't have a scholar either, he used to live in a dilapidated inn outside the city, and he had to walk more than ten miles every day to get into Chang'an City.

Now that he has become the first, it makes sense for Xu Changan and Chai Xintong to help him or "tie up" him.

Huanxi Building has almost become the annex of Kong Dewei, Chai Xintong and Xu Chang'an.

This Kong Dewei did not have the right to enter the palace to watch the finals, but he knew the result in advance, so he came with Hong Lao very early.

Chen Tianhua naturally knew the two of them, and arranged for Kong Dewei to go to the private room they frequented, and Hong Lao was not polite, he reported a jar of wine by himself, leaning on the pillar, holding a sword in his arms, holding a wine jar in his hand, and looking at all kinds of people coming and going with drunken eyes.

He Chen was also taken aback when he saw Kong Dewei, and under the gaze of everyone, he finally put down the basket and did it uneasily, peeking at this room with exquisite decoration for him.

Kong Dewei looked at his uneasiness and the envy in his eyes, frowned and asked, "Are the scholars in Youzhou in a bad situation?"

He Chen lowered his head and did not speak.

Chai Xintong nodded and said: "The situation of scholars in several states on the border of this territory is quite poor, and our Tongzhou is the same, and the broken bamboo buildings are all built by Mr. Big himself." ”

Kong Dewei glanced up and down at Chai Xintong's clothes, his face full of disbelief.

Xu Changan smiled and said: "What he said is true, but he is different, he is handsome, and someone is willing to raise him." ”

Kong Dewei looked suddenly enlightened, and Xu Changan tacitly glanced at each other, and laughed loudly at the same time.

The three of them chatted casually, nothing more than some of their own lives.

Kong Dewei's life is extremely monotonous, every day is studying, self-cultivation, and cultivation, and he doesn't have to worry about the rest at all.

Since Su Qing returned to Beiban intact and the Shuofeng Department suffered heavy losses, the situation in Tongzhou has not been so tense, and everything is developing in a good direction.

As for Xu Chang'an, they listened to Xu Chang'an's experience, sometimes sighing, sometimes applauding, and their eyes were full of brilliance.

There was also a lot of curiosity in the scholar's chest, and Chai Xintong was slightly regretful.

In Tongzhou, he had no chance to fight side by side with Xu Chang'an, and when it came to the recovery of the four southern states, he did not see those scenes with his own eyes.

He wanted to see the girl who killed her father for righteousness, he also wanted to see the Jian Jiu who was like an immortal, and he wanted to see He Lao Wu, who was born at the bottom but forgot to die, and even he wanted to see the three fathers and sons of the Han family.

At the same time, he also wanted to make friends with the legendary Zhiyong Marquis, but unfortunately, the little marquis went to find the girl who belonged to him.

He Chen also listened with relish, and his hesitation and anxiety gradually decreased.

It wasn't until the sound outside became quieter and quieter that he realized that he wouldn't be able to get out of the city if he didn't go out, and he didn't have enough silver on him. If you can't get out of the city, you'll have to sleep on the streets.

He stood up and wanted to say goodbye, but Chai Xintong said lightly: "Don't worry about your belongings, go to live in the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion for a month." ”

Then he looked at Xu Chang'an and asked with a smile: "The Zhongyi Hou family has a big business, so it's not bad for this room, right?"

Xu Changan glanced at him angrily and said, "His house money, let you let the rabbit pay it back." ”

Although He Chen is poor, he is not like Kong Dewei who does not go out of the gate all day long, he also knows the meaning of the rabbit, and immediately stood up eagerly and said: "I can't help it, I can't help it, I'd better go outside the city!"

Chai Xintong smiled, grabbed him, and put a fan on his shoulder with a fan in his hand, He Chen's heart touched slightly.

In Youzhou, no one wants to do that.

After all, in a huge secluded state, the few remaining scholars are so poor that many people regard them as poor ghosts, and it seems that being touched by these will bring bad luck.

"It's okay, this kid is joking with me! I'm going to have to lie on him with a dead face, and wait for the literary exam to be over." ”

When Xu Changan heard this, he had a look of disgust on his face, but he was very happy in his heart.

The four of them went downstairs with a smile, and when Hong Lao saw his little master coming down, he threw the wine jar towards Chen Tianhua, Chen Tianhua swayed left and right, and put the empty wine jar with a bitter face.

At the door, Kong Dewei said goodbye to the three of them.

Xu Changan and the others turned to leave, and Kong Dewei was about to leave, but found that Hong Lao was standing in place, looking at the backs of the three of them.

"Hey, that kid, I heard that your house is a little big, and you still have good wine?" Hong Lao shouted drunkenly towards Xu Changan's back.

Xu Changan immediately turned around and saw Hong Lao, he was a little weak-hearted, after all, Kong Dewei's stupid boy was still reading "Chai Xinling"!

He could only nod, and when Hong Lao saw this, he showed his big yellow teeth, bared his teeth and smiled: "That's good, it's not bad for these two rooms, right?"

Xu Changan immediately smiled and said, "There are a lot of them, and there is a lot of good wine." He was afraid that if this "Chai Xinling" did not appear for a long time, it would make Kong Dewei, a stupid boy, have a knot, so he had to tie up with Hong Lao first, and then he could solve this matter.

Under Kong Dewei's surprised gaze, Hong Lao walked towards the three of them and walked in the front, looking like a leader.

Kong Dewei had no choice but to walk towards Xu Changan, and arched his hand slightly embarrassed: "Then bother." ”

......

In the Jin Palace, the little master got a bamboo pole and sat next to the lotus pond.

King Jin walked over and sat beside him.

Under the moonlight, the wind passed slightly, blowing the water of the pool.

King Jin watched his fish bite other people's bait, and his heart ached.

The fish was about to take the bait, and the king of Jin suddenly coughed twice, and the red carp swam to the depths of the lotus pond with a dashing flick of its tail.

The little master put away his homemade simple fishing rod and glanced at him.

"Stingy, I don't eat again. I'll let it go if I catch it!" King Jin touched his nose in embarrassment.

Suddenly remembered that this was something that someone else wanted to play with him, why did he make no sense.

"Xu Chang'an is so good at fishing, he doesn't dare to talk about you. ”

The little master smiled, took the bait beside him and said, "Don't provoke me, you know, his Zhongyi Marquis Mansion is lively now." ”

After saying that, he sprinkled all the remaining earthworms into the flowers and went straight back to the room.

King Jin followed him and entered his room.

"You arranged it?" King Jin asked.

The little master turned his head, looked at him and said, "I didn't arrange it, it was what I wanted." ”

He sat down and poured two cups of tea.

"Master, he decided to retreat, the Confucius Temple is facing a great shock, I don't want anything wrong with the chosen people, you know, the status of the literati of this holy dynasty, several states around Chang'an are fine, but those extremely far away, books and truths seem to have become a flood of beasts, for them, eating enough to survive is the greatest truth. ”

King Jin sighed and said, "This seems to be right. ”

The little master shook his head and said: "Wrong, if it is a troubled world, it is naturally no problem, no matter how big the truth is, it is not worth survival." ”

He took a sip of tea and said, "But now we have the Holy Dynasty, the south has been decided, and now there are three generals guarding the border." It should be them who will kill the enemy with blood and keep one side peaceful. ”

"As for the people, they are those who want to learn martial arts and those who want to learn literature according to their love. ”

"But now?" asked the little master.

"From time to time, if no one passes on some good things, the people will only become more and more ignorant and more and more difficult to develop. ”

He sighed and said faintly: "Fighting the world requires horseback and a sword, but guarding the world and a prosperous world are indispensable for pen, ink, paper and inkstone." ”

When King Jin saw the little master's serious expression, he could only say: "Holy Emperor, he is not so repulsive to literati, right?"

The little master sneered: "He naturally does not reject 'Wen', he only rejects 'Wen' that does not belong to him, what he needs is a few obedient pens, not free-growing thoughts." ”

These twists and turns around the King of Jin are not very understandable, but he only knows one thing, that is, the Confucius Temple will definitely not harm the world!

......

There is a small courtyard at the foot of the imperial city.

The lights in the hall flickered, and the three of them stood nervously aside.

These three people are very familiar, and they have all appeared in the martial arts examination, but one of them was eliminated in the first round, and the remaining two, one was Mr. Hu who was defeated by Wang Sihe that day, and the other was Jiang Jingyan.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the candlelight flickered for a moment, and then stood up tenaciously again.

When the three of them saw this figure, they immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "I've seen adults!"

The man didn't turn around, his voice a little hoarse.

"You have let the Holy Emperor down. He said lightly, and all three of them lowered their heads.

"Among the three of you, only Jiang Jingyan's performance is acceptable, and the other two ......" He didn't say it, but snorted coldly.

The two knew that they were not doing well, so they could only lower their heads and dare not speak.

"As long as you can get a good result in the martial arts exam, the Holy Emperor will find a way to make you a little master, or even a master, it's a pity!"

He glanced at the three of them and continued: "His Majesty the Holy Emperor didn't take it to heart, forget it if he failed, after all, the opponent is not an idle person. ”

Hearing this, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's just that Old Man Fan has been active recently, and they won't give up the Confucius Temple that is about to be turbulent, you have to find a way to get in. ”

When the three of them heard this, they prayed at the same time: "You will not be dishonored!"

The adult snorted, turned his back to them, and waved his hand.

The three of them were about to leave and walked towards the gate, when the adult suddenly spoke: "Jiang Jingyan wait a minute, and the other two go first!"

The lord heard that the two were gone, and said slowly, "The Holy Emperor asked me to choose someone and give him a hint. ”

When Jiang Jingyan heard this, why didn't he understand? He immediately knelt down and thanked, "Master Xie cultivated." ”

"The Holy Emperor said that if you want to know what Old Man Fan is going to do, you can start with the Great Prince. "I don't need to say more about the rest.

Jiang Jingyan thanked him again.

"Also, behave well, the Holy Emperor also has a few sage relics!"

After saying that, the lord seemed to turn into a gust of wind and disappeared for a moment.

......

Fengming Pavilion.

Today is not as lively as in the past, the whole hall is the blind woman in white caressing the qin, and the eldest prince sits down quietly, supporting his face with his hands, and listening to the music carefully.

The last note fell, and the blind girl gently stroked the piano, and then said lightly: "Your Royal Highness, your heart is not quiet. ”

The eldest prince smiled slightly and said: "Qingshui, your skills are getting higher and higher, I'm afraid that the entire Holy Dynasty will be able to play the piano, and you will not be able to beat you!"

Mo Qingshui looked like an ancient well without waves, and responded lightly: "There is a sky outside the sky, who knows?"

The eldest prince tilted his head, looked at her and said, "Qingshui, or we will always be here, okay." ”

Mo Qingshui knew what the big prince meant, and still said lightly: "Your Royal Highness, Qingshui is just a grass people, and you are noble, prince." ”

"Don't prevaricate me with that reason, I know. The eldest prince sighed and said.

Mo Qingshui put his hand on the strings of the piano and said lightly: "Since His Royal Highness the Prince knows, then don't ask, His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't just want to listen to the piano today, right?"

The eldest prince was a little embarrassed.

"Your Highness, if you have something to say, what I can do will definitely be done. ”

The eldest prince wanted to speak and stopped, but finally gritted his teeth and said: "I want to make friends with this He Chen, but unfortunately he has been living in Xu Chang'an's mansion, if I go directly, I am afraid that Xu Changan will embarrass me." There is no one who does not love the piano, and the light water ......"

Mo Qingshui intercepted his words and said lightly: "I know, I'll help you create a chance to get to know him." ”

The eldest prince glanced at the blind girl and nodded.

The blind piano girl in white skillfully put away the piano and carried it on her back, the piano was taller than her, and she seemed a little clumsy.

Mo Qingshui walked to the door, and the eldest prince suddenly stood up.

"Shall I send you?"

Although Mo Qingshui couldn't see it, she still turned her head, and when the eldest prince saw that delicate face, her heartstrings seemed to be plucked.

"No need, His Royal Highness the Prince's kindness, Qingshui will remember it in my heart, when Qingshui completes the last three things, we will clear our grievances. The cold voice reached the ears of the eldest prince, and her heart suddenly hurt, she seemed to be counting down the days of parting, and she was still looking forward to it.

For the rest of the women, the eldest prince can use silver taels, and he can use strong.

But this girl, he put her in his heart and put her very high, so he is willing to respect her and respect her choice.

Mo Qingshui's figure had long since disappeared, and the eldest prince could only look at the empty door, and finally turned back to the house with a long sigh.

......

In the courtyard outside the city, the old man's face was not very good.

What he is angry about is not that Chai Xintong refuses to become a future little master or even a master, for Chai Xintong, he and the master behind him are not uncommon to have the name of a master and a little master.

He was angry that this Chai Xintong completely rejected himself and didn't give himself a chance, he could see that it was also because of Fan Jiuxian, otherwise he was afraid that this Chai Xintong would scold him directly.

Fan Yuzhi's hand was heavily placed on the table, stirring up the tea in the teacup and spilling it on the table.

"I don't know what to do!"

He Qian looked at his angry general, stepped forward and said with relief: "Actually, it's also good news, we can't insert it into the Confucius Temple." Similarly, He Chen was escorted by Kong Dewei and Chai Xintong to become the first in the martial arts examination, which shows that the Holy Emperor was also unsuccessful, and the means he used on the general you were deflated here in the Confucius Temple. ”

Fan Yuqi snorted coldly, if others said this, he would have slapped him a long time ago, this was revealing his scars. But it was He Qian who said this, an old man who had followed him for more than ten years.

He was calculated by the Holy Emperor and the surnamed Xu, and he lost the command of the Dragon Guard step by step.

"Our purpose is not the Confucius Temple, since we can't borrow the Confucius Temple, then we can take another road!"

Fan Yuzhi's eyes froze, and he suddenly said, "Are you talking about Mr. Xu?"

He Qian nodded, and then said: "We cooperate with the Great Prince, and if we can temporarily control the Iron Floating Slaughter, we will have the initial right to speak, and then we will slowly figure it out." ”

"It's just ......," He said halfway.

"Just what?" Fan asked immediately.

"It's just Miss's side, after all, the other party is conditional on marriage!"

Fan Yuqi snorted coldly and said: "It's all my children! Can't I still be the master, since ancient times, the orders of my parents and the words of the matchmaker are orthodox, and she can still turn the sky upside down!"

"But I'm only afraid of other young masters......"

Fan Yuqi waved his hand and said: "Don't mention those disobedient sons, I have my own plans!"
