"Who came up with this bad idea? Could it be the boy surnamed Wang? He is very sound on paper, but in practice he resorts to such unflattering tactics?"
"It's not the Wang family. Wang Si attaches great importance to his nephew. Wang Si will definitely stop such a bad idea."
Many people are speculating and ridiculing. After a final check, I found out that he was from the Zheng family in Xingyang.
"Xingyang Zheng family? A young disciple? Zheng Zihe?"
"I understand, this is to challenge Xiao Rui. It seems that many of our younger generations are dissatisfied with Xiao Rui. Good thing!" Cui Dunli of the Boling Cui family smiled.
The old servant next to him said worriedly: "Maybe this young man from the Zheng family is not competing with Xiao Rui."
"Oh? Xiao Rui slapped the Zheng family in Xingyang hard in the face in Luoyang. The children of the Zheng family all hated her to the bone. If they didn't come at Xiao Rui, who could they come after? To deal with the guy above? Haha, I'm afraid the younger generation will still Not qualified enough." Cui Dunli didn't believe it.
The old servant whispered: "Master, it is said that Zheng Zihe went out after hearing that Wang Jishan of the Wang family came out of the mountain."
"Huh? What? Is he here for Wang Jishan?"
"It should be that Xiao Rui's reputation is so great that a generation of people can't breathe. If he dared to compete with Xiao Rui, he wouldn't have been unable to bear it when he was in Luoyang. But now he goes out, presumably to compete with Wang Jishan Compete."
Cui Dunli snorted coldly: "It's not a good idea. How long has it been since we couldn't unite and fight against the outside world? Xiao Rui is already strong enough, and now he has Xue Li, the second in the world, and Feng Zhidai, the fifth in the world, by his side."
"Sigh... We, the younger generation of the Five Surnames and Seven Sects, don't have such talented people. If we can't unite, even if we win this battle, our future will still be worrying when the older generation retires in the future. "
The old servant nodded in agreement: "Now, the old servant finally understands why Jieli wanted to assassinate Xiao Rui at all costs."
Cui Dunli's eyes were solemn, he thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "We are different from Jieli, and..."
What's more, he didn't say anything further. The old servant also guessed that Xiao Rui was not easy to kill. It's not just that Xiao Rui has become popular, but also because the Lanling Xiao family behind Xiao Rui cannot be underestimated.
No matter how much the Lanling Xiao family tried to quibble, they even joined the major families in scolding Xiao Rui for being dishonest. But in fact, if any family has such a son who can overshadow the current generation, he can laugh out of his dreams, and he will definitely use all the strength of the family to protect him. Scolding in front of outsiders is also a form of protection.
The royal family behind Xiao Rui, the Lanling Xiao family, and the Dugu family behind Xiao Rui's mother are not easy to mess with.
Closer to home, Zheng Zihe of the Zheng family in Xingyang has been called to be scolded by his elders.
Zheng Zihe defended himself without realizing it: "It's all because of Kong Yingda's troubles. If it wasn't for his evil plan..."
shut up!
"You didn't even know who your opponent was, so you sent people to cause trouble? You are not causing trouble, you are causing trouble for us." Zheng Shuping scolded, "You want to deal with Xiao Rui? But you sent people to mess up the Enke preliminaries. For the exam, you have to calculate clearly and meet Kong Yingda first."
"Only if you stump Kong Yingda can Xiao Rui show up later."
"Who is Kong Yingda? He is a famous scholar in the world."
Zheng Zihe said unconvinced: "Isn't it just relying on the name of a descendant of Confucius? What's so big about it? The Imperial Academy offers wine? It's just a corrupt scholar with a false reputation, who can only teach..."
Snapped!
Zheng Shuping slapped him, and Zheng Zihe was stunned.
"Third uncle, I..."
Zheng Shuping snorted coldly: "Corrupt scholar? Don't forget, you just lost at the hands of this corrupt scholar. He defeated you in just two words! Then who do you think you are?"
Zheng Zihe was speechless and whispered: "I was just careless. I didn't expect him to dare to stop us..."
Zheng Shuping hated the iron and said with disdain: "Alas, years of pampering have made you arrogant to the point of being arrogant."
"Our Five Surnames and Seven Hopes are indeed strong, but that doesn't mean that we can order other people as we please in this world. There are still some families that don't want to give us face. For example, the royal family, and the Kong family after the saints. Scholars all over the world respect Confucius. The sage is the first teacher, so everyone must respect the Confucian family. Anyone who offends the Confucian family is the public enemy of scholars all over the world."
"Do you understand?"
Zheng Zihe nodded helplessly: "Yes, my nephew has taken note of it."
Zheng Shuping continued: "Let's talk about Kong Yingda. He is not an incompetent scholar. He is a world-famous sage and famous teacher. He was one of the eighteen bachelors of the old Qin Prince's Palace. What are the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace? That is the eighteen who were beside the King of Qin. Counselors are all people with excellent strategies.”
"You kid, you are really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. Compared with others, you are still young."
Zheng Zihe said stubbornly: "Third uncle, I don't accept it. This time it was just a moment of carelessness. Give me some time, and I will definitely mess up Enke this time."
Zheng Shuping waved his hand and said: "To stir up Huang Enke? Haha, there is no need to stir up Huang. Wang Jishan of the Wang family in Taiyuan has already figured out a countermeasure. He used yangmian against yangmian and sent our people to participate in Enke and directly deployed them in various places. Let’s take a step back. Even if we discover talents in the future, they will be the first to be loyal to us.”
"So, you'd better go home and study for a few more years to settle down. Or you can stay with Third Uncle, see the world, and help me."
The implication is that we are already preparing to take action according to Wang Jishan's plan, and there is no need for you to cause trouble. If your level is not good enough, go home and study and learn more.
But Zheng Shuping didn't know how this nephew could save fuel? He is not here for Xiao Rui at all, he is here for Wang Jishan. Now you just scolded Zheng Zihe and are you praising Wang Jishan in front of them? Doesn't that just rub salt into the wound? Adding fuel to the fire.
Zheng Zihe bowed and left, "Thank you, third uncle, for taking care of me. My nephew has just arrived in Chang'an and wants to see the world and visit more."
"Okay, then go and see more. If you have any ideas, come and talk to me first. Only if I agree can you go ahead and do it. There are crouching tigers, hidden dragons in Chang'an City, so don't be reckless."
"Yes, my nephew has taken note of it."
Turning around, he went to the West Market and started drinking. Wang Jishan? I was bullied by you when I was young. Ever since I was little, I have heard the legend about you, the unicorn child of the Wang family, and my ears have become calluses. I didn’t expect that I would still be overshadowed by you in Chang’an! Huh, a conspiracy to pull out the fire under the cauldron? Breaking the game Enko? I won't let you have your way. If I, Zheng Zihe, can't do it, you can't do it either!
It's over. If Zheng Shuping knew that his nephew was narrow-minded and rebellious by nature, I wonder if he would be angry to death. I definitely wouldn't tell him everything about Wang Jishan's plan just now.
