Chapter 18: The Reaction of the Nobles

The Qingfeng country is prosperous and abnormal, and when there are many people, the sound is naturally loud, and it is boiling all the time.

However, at this time, the huge capital was terrifyingly quiet, and only the sound of rapid breathing could be heard. Everything is because of the holy decree in the palace that announced the world, and Qingfeng Country has had another marquis since then, or Marquis Wu!

There are many officials in Qingfeng Country, and one out of a hundred people, large and small, has an official position. There are also nobles in Qingfeng Country, and the number of people is very rare, and there is no one in ten thousand. There is such a saying that circulates in Qingfeng Country: If there is a lord, there must be an official, and a lord is worth a hundred officials. It can be seen from this that the title of nobility is much more precious than the official body. The titles are divided into five ranks, namely duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male. Each title is divided into Wen and Wu, because Qingfeng Country advocates martial arts, the status of Wu Jue in the same title is higher than that of Wen Jue.

Since the founding of the Qingfeng Kingdom for a hundred years, the number of dukes has not exceeded two hands. These people are either the founders of the Qingfeng Country, or the elders of the Three Dynasties who have contributed to the Qingfeng Country. And as the Qingfeng Kingdom grows, the title becomes more precious and more difficult to obtain. In the past hundred years, the figure of the duke's canonization has only appeared once, and the old prince is also half the age of stepping into the coffin.

Under this circumstance, people slowly realized that they didn't have to think about getting the title of duke in Qingfeng Country, and I am afraid that it would be difficult for a duke to appear in the future. And in the absence of the duke, the marquis is the highest goal pursued by the nobles. It is not too much to say that a marquis leads a family. In the past hundred years, the marquis has appeared four times, and each appearance has caused a major earthquake in the aristocratic circle and even the entire Qingfeng country officialdom, and these four marquis are all Marquis Wen.

Today, there is another marquis in Qingfeng Country, or Marquis Wu!

Lin He, no one is familiar with this name, let alone ordinary people, even nobles have never heard of it. However, everyone took the name to heart, because this person could bring another earthquake. He is the fifth marquis in the past hundred years, although the time is not advantageous compared to the four Marquis Wen, but the status is definitely above the four.

After a short period of silence in the national capital, the noise suddenly erupted, like a wave, wave after wave!

The officialdom and aristocratic circles have been silent for a longer time, and they are more aware of the weight of this newly emerged Marquis Wu than ordinary people who have just woken up. Moreover, the changes brought about by this Marquis Wu will be closely related to their interests, and they will attach more importance to it!

After the silence, the nobles were surprised, puzzled, and then angry. Why should a boy with no name wait for Marquis Wu? They feel that it is unfair, and they are extremely dissatisfied!

Under the organization of well-intentioned people, the nobles in the capital gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"No, we can't just wait, we have to face the saint, we have to get the king to withdraw this decree. Saving the princess twice to be able to make a marquis of martial arts is simply ridiculous!" A man said angrily. He had worked hard for so many years to get the title of Baron Wen, and someone was able to ascend to the sky in one step, of course he couldn't accept it.

As soon as he said this, of course, the rest of the people immediately echoed it, and they all said that they would collectively face the saint and put pressure on the king. I knew that although the king was in control of this country, the specific management still needed them and these nobles. Therefore, even the king had to take their opinion into account.

The more the group talked, the more angry they became, and finally they collectively agreed to meet the four Marquis Wen together, and they took the lead in entering the palace to face the saints.

When the group entered the mansion of a marquis together, they found that the four Marquis Wen were all present.

"I said that these cubs will not be able to sit still, don't you think they are coming?" said an old man in rich clothes with a smile when he saw the group of nobles.

He is the owner of this mansion - Li Shang, Marquis of Wen!

"Haha, our Marquis Wu who suddenly appeared is too scary, we are all a little panicked, let alone them. Another Marquis Wen shook his head and said.

The other two marquis sat in their chairs silently, one with his eyes closed, and the other with tea.

"Marquis, you have to stand up and take the lead, you can't let the king mess up like this. ”

"Yes, the four marquis, this nameless person who suddenly appeared wanted to steal the position of the marquis with just a little luck, and he was also the Marquis of Wu who suppressed the four marquises, it really makes sense. ”

......

After the nobles visited, they spoke one after another.

"Everyone!" Li Shang pressed his hands and motioned for everyone to be quiet, "Everyone, listen to me, I know that you have a lot of doubts about this new Marquis of Martial Arts, and you can understand everyone's feelings." It's just that the old man sent a message just now. ”

"Did the old man speak? What did the old man say? Do you want to enter the palace to face the saint?" When everyone heard that the old man had found out, they were all surprised. You must know that the old prince is a veteran of the three dynasties, and his protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world, and his status is transcendent. Not to mention that when the prime minister of the dynasty sees the old country, he wants to regard himself as a junior, even the king also concedes three points to the old country. If he had entered the palace to face the saint, the king would have been much more likely to withdraw the decree.

"The old man said, let you go back and forth wherever you come from, go back and rest, don't make a fuss about nothing!" Li Shang said lightly.

"What? How could the old man do this! He can't be an old ......," said one of them, immediately dissatisfied.

"Presumptuous!" Li Shang shouted angrily, his eyes were about to kill, "You dare to say another word?"

The man seemed to have been drenched in a basin of cold water, and instantly came to his senses, and his whole body broke out in a cold sweat. He was almost going to say that the old man was confused, and if this was to be exported, he would probably die a miserable death.

The old princes have spoken, and the nobles know that they can't make any waves, and they are all like mourning and how to go back.

After everyone left, Li Shang sighed, "The king's hand is really amazing, and it is better to let the old prince come forward to suppress the situation than anything else." ”

"I don't think it's necessarily the king's idea, it's a bit like our guru. Another Marquis Wen analyzed.

"You say, is the news brought back by the old prince true or false, and that Marquis Wu, whom he has not yet met, really killed a seeker?" said the Marquis Wen with closed eyes.

"This should be true, otherwise why would our king have to go to such great lengths to win him over. The man who spoke picked up the teacup again and took a sip gently, "It's just that if this Marquis Wu is a toss winner, I'm afraid our future days will not be so idle." ”

"There's no need to worry about this," Li Shang answered.

"Oh, if you have any opinions, please advise. ”

"If you want me to see that such characters must not be ordinary people, and our vision may not be in this Qingfeng country. We just have to hold him, and he'll probably leave. Li Shang said.

"Sure enough, ginger is old and spicy! haha......"

............

Hearing that there are many rules in the palace, Lin He immediately said that he wanted to live outside the palace temporarily. Shangguan Yu must have entered the palace first to meet her father and behind the scenes, and Han Feng also had to go to the palace to talk to the king, so the task of receiving Lin He was handed over to Shangguan Hong, the prince who had just been released.

The country is very lively, and Shangguan Hong, the prince, is also very familiar with this place. The two of them didn't bring any guards, and they wandered around the huge capital.

After most of the day, under the leadership of Shangguan Hong, Lin He had a concept of prosperity. And he found that Shangguan Hong was a good person, and he liked his hearty and atmospheric personality very much.

"Brother Linhe, don't look at me as a prince, I'm actually very tired of living. Shangguan Hong put his arm around Lin He's neck with one hand and sighed.

Lin He just wanted to roll his eyes, Shangguan Hong was a self-familiar person, and he probably respected Lin He very much because of Shangguan Yu at the beginning. But after getting acquainted, I already hugged him around my neck and called him a brother. Of course, this kind of person is very honest and comfortable to get along with, and Lin He is not disgusted.

"Say, what do you want to do?" Lin He didn't bother to cooperate with him in acting, knocked off his hand around his neck, and said directly.

"It's really a confidant!" Shangguan Hong gave Lin He a thumbs up, "You see, I often don't go out much, and the time to come out once is very limited, there is a place where I have always admired the name, why don't we go and play together while no one thinks of us now?"

"Where?" Lin He was also a little curious, what kind of place could make Shangguan Hong remember this kind of appearance.

"Do you agree with that? First of all, you know this matter, and I know it, and you must not say it out. Shangguan Hong said quickly as he pulled up Lin He and left.

Lin He had a sense of foreboding!

Following Shangguan Hong's twists and turns, Lin He and the two finally came to a three-story pavilion. The pavilion is very large and wide, just the window Lin He can see hundreds on one side of the pavilion, which shows how many rooms there are inside. The exterior decoration of the pavilion is even more distinctive, and the overall feeling is beautiful. The most eye-catching thing is the countless rows of red lanterns, although it is daytime, but anyone who sees these lanterns can probably imagine how brilliant and gorgeous it will be when night falls.

Lin He and the two came to the main gate, only to see three big characters hanging on the door - Spring Festival Pavilion!

"The place you are talking about is here?" Lin He looked at this pavilion, how it didn't look like a "serious" place.

Shangguan Hong's face was longing at this time, and he sighed, "The Spring Festival Pavilion is worthy of being the Spring Festival Pavilion, and it is extraordinary at first glance!"

At this time, it was still early, and there were not many people in and out of the Spring Festival Pavilion, and the people who came and went could see that they were all handymen and others.

Shangguan Hong took the lead and walked forward.

"The two young masters are really early enough" A thief-eyed little guy saw Lin He and the two, and immediately stood aside and greeted him with a smile.

Shangguan Hong's face turned slightly red, it seemed that it was indeed the first time to come with a little stage fright, but he immediately forced himself to deliberately pull down his face, "What?

Saying this, he took out a piece of gold full of color from his money bag and gently threw it at the door of the Spring Festival Pavilion, as if to tell the little master that I am not short of money!

He had learned this trick from a friend, who, in the words of his friend, was better than anything else.

Sure enough, a woman flashed out, picked up the gold on the ground with a smile, and put it in her mouth and bit it gently. The next moment, the woman's eyes were brighter, and she scolded the previous little guy without asking anything else, "Dog, you unlucky thing, dare to offend the distinguished guest, look back and see that the old lady doesn't pick your skin!"

After scolding, the little guy turned around to Lin He, and when the two of them turned around, they had already changed their smiling faces: "Don't be surprised, two young masters, hurry up and please come inside!"

"The girls upstairs and downstairs are all ready to welcome your guests!"
