NOVEL NEXT Chapter 42 - Famous in the capital
Cuckoo House!
This was one of the few famous greenhouses in the capital!
At this moment, it was an elegant pavilion.
Several young men were sitting next to each seat, accompanied by a girl.
Brother Lin, why don’t we go and beat up that Xia Chen, what kind of talent is he, he’s so arrogant!
A young man in a purple robe looked at the young man sitting on the first seat and waved his fist in a gesture.
How dare you step on Lin’s Chief Minister, eat a bear’s heart and a leopard’s entrails!
‘Yellow-mouthed child, you don’t know the heights of heaven!
‘Hmph, vulgar martial artist, what culture can you have, now for the sake of fame even so shameless!
……
For a while, the whole elegant room was loud and noisy, these several young masters were all famous young masters in the capital, and their family fathers or grandfathers were all great members of the imperial court.
As for the Emperor, this matter is not considered false, but according to all the people’s words and rumours, it is definitely exaggerated!
The green-robed young man sitting on the first seat shook his head slowly, his reasoning was clear.
‘Besides, people come from the Marquis of Zhen Dong, a few of us scholars, when the time comes, who will beat who is still uncertain!’
Lin Zihan put down the wine glass in his hand, although his tone was bland, there were still emotional fluctuations in his eyes.
However, I am indeed very curious that Xia Chen exactly what skills, actually able to be summoned by His Majesty and praised in public, have the opportunity to be taught to learn!
The crowd looked at each other when they heard Lin Zihan speak, knowing that although Lin Zihan was level-headed, he was the legitimate son of Lin Shoufu, and as Lin Shoufu’s reputation was at stake, he was still very concerned in his heart.
Her Highness Princess Yaoguang recently organised a literary gathering and invited famous talents to the capital, why don’t we invite this Xia Chen as well, when the time comes, whether he is a real talent or a clown with a good reputation, a test will tell us!
Liu Bo unfolded the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile on his face and an indifferent tone.
He was sitting next to Lin Zihan, whose father was the Minister of Public Works.
”This is the first literary meeting opened by Princess Yaoguang, how can we invite a vulgar martial artist, this is an event for our scholars!”
Some people shook their heads, and the thought of attending with a vulgar martial artist made them feel that the whole literary gathering was already a bit impure.
Over the years, the conflict between the scholars represented by the civil officials group and the martial arts group has become more and more acute, and both sides despise each other.
One side feels that the other side is a crude, empty, brute force; one side feels that the other side is just chewing the fat, not doing any real work!
Good idea! Speaking of which, Princess Yaoguang has a great relationship with this Xia Chen!
Someone’s eyes lit up, thinking that the scene at that time would definitely be very nice.
When the crowd heard this person’s words, their hearts were all a little disturbed, as if they had eaten a fly.
When they thought about the beautiful and touching Princess Yaoguang being betrothed to a vulgar martial artist, many of them couldn’t help but silently shake their heads.
Darkly!
……
‘The ruler should act like a ruler, the subject like a subject, the father like a father, and the son like a son, something!’
Not far from the cuckoo house was another green house, a private box.
Five middle-aged men were drinking a little wine and eating the steamed sea bass, which had only become popular in the capital at the beginning of the year, and behind each of the five was a beautiful young girl.
A man with a beard and a majestic gaze spoke in a deep voice.
Brother Lu, are the words as divine as you say?
A middle-aged man sitting next to Lu Yun was confused, although he felt that the words were indeed good, he could not grasp the key for a moment.
Brother Lu learned from the great Confucian and Song dynasty Confucian scholars, and was the top scorer in the imperial examination of our year, so naturally he is a bit more profound than us in terms of his studies!
Chen Zhizhong smiled and opened his mouth, and then a hand will be next to the young beautiful girl in the arms, the hand is extremely natural to hold the charm of the place.
From this evening, when I went out to pass the Imperial College, I heard a few young students there talking about this sentence, at that time did not pay too much attention.
Now that I’m here, I’ve heard everyone talking about what happened in the palace this afternoon, it’s spread so quickly throughout the capital, don’t you think it’s a bit strange?
Lu Hao didn’t answer at first, instead he asked the four of them a question.
Brother Lu, are you saying that someone is spreading it on purpose?
Chen Zhizhong’s eyes lit up as he instantly thought of the key to the problem, then he thought of the phrase The ruler should act like a ruler, the subject like a father, the son like a father, and the subject like a son, in an instant, it seemed like he had grasped the key to the matter.
Who in the capital has such a great ability to spread the dialogue of His Majesty summoning his subjects to the imperial court so quickly, or to make a scene all over the city!
‘Brother Lu says ……’
The crowd looked grave, and then no one dared to speak.
‘Only the Lamplighters have this ability!’
Lu Hao sighed, but he understood in his heart that this matter must have been ordered by His Majesty, otherwise how would the Lamplighters dare to do such a thing without permission?
The people were all intelligent people who had been screened by the Imperial Examinations, and they naturally thought of this as well.
Those who are monarchs should behave like monarchs, those who are subjects should behave like subjects, those who are fathers should behave like fathers, and those who are sons should behave like sons.
Society has its own duties, and everyone has their own norms and duties, and this saying is enough to be passed down for ten thousand generations!
If this sentence was really what that Xia Chen said, it would really be something! ‘
Lu Hao sighed, he understood that with this sentence alone, Xia Chen’s name would be able to be recorded in the history books and recited by later generations of scholars.
Even if the scholars do not recognise it, all the kings of future generations will also lift Xia Chen into the history books.
All the people’s faces changed, so exaggerated?
Only Chen Zhizhong somewhat keep up with Lu Hao’s thinking, he was born in this Marquis of Zhen Dong’s Xia Chen, his heart produced infinite curiosity .
……
The next day!
The morning sun began to shine!
Xia Chen was also alive, the quilt was held high, a pyramid immediately appeared, perfect as a work of art.
Xia Chen lifted the quilt, then pressed the cannon, releasing the flood of water that had accumulated for the night.
He washed up and picked up the Lamplighters waist plate before walking out of the Marquis of Zhen Dong Mansion.
‘Brother Chen, let’s go directly to the Lamplighters or something !’
Xia Qian asked excitedly behind him, his expression incomparably excited.
He originally thought that he would have to show off his skills in the army in the future, but did not expect to be dropped into the even more exciting Lamplighters so soon, that is, the mysterious Lamplighters ah!
Who in the capital has not grown up listening to the story of the Lamplighters?
Xia Qian has heard since childhood that the Lamplighters are pervasive, mysterious as ghosts, today even to follow the Young Master to become one of them, how can he not be excited about it!
”There’s no rush, let’s go to the Imperial Guards first and arrange things properly!’
Xia Chen calmly towards the east, Lamplighters although important , but the Imperial Guard side can not be ignored, five years later, the change in the door of the Imperial Guard but played a vital role!
Originally, he was prepared to take the Imperial Guard as the foundation, in advance of the ambush in the forbidden army, the results of the plan can not catch up with the changes, did not expect that this is only just to expand the fists and feet , but also by the Emperor of the Wen Dynasty was transferred into the Lamplighters organisation.
This disrupted his deployment somewhat!
But …… all that is trivial!
No matter how it changed, the situation was currently under his control!
What’s more, he was interested in the Lamplighters’ dungeon, and if he remembered correctly, there were several great talents who had shone in the future during the time of the Empress, and they were now being held in the Lamplighters’ dungeon at this time of the year.
Xia Chen smiled!
There are all kinds of tactics in his belly!
