Chapter 641: Famous through the ages
"However, the world is determined. I, alone, bear the fate of millions of people. Therefore, I must not wait for destiny, because I am destiny."
Emperor Wenhong said calmly - But what he said was really the truth. This was not pretentious, but honest.
"His Majesty……"
"I am not the emperor here. My name is Qi Jinyu, and I am the third son of the late emperor. Speaking of which, your father, King Feilong, is also the third son of the previous generation of demon kings. Speaking of which, the fate in this world is really wonderful."
Wei Ya was a little confused. She couldn't figure out the purpose of Emperor Wenhong. Emperor Wenhong seemed to have something to say, and his words even meant to be close to him and her father.
Emperor Wenhong personally poured wine for Wei Ya and said casually: "What's even more fateful is that my father and I have a bad relationship, and so does the Feilong King."
Wei Ya warned: "Your Majesty... Mr. Qi's words are wrong... The tradition of our demon clan is to stand on our own, unlike the Central Plains, which pays attention to orthodoxy. My father, King Feilong, often said that to rule the demon clan, we must have this generation of demon kings. .”
Wen Hong narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of murder in his words: "But I heard that the Demon King announced many times that Fei Longwang would come to Beijing to report on his duties, but your father refused to comply."
Wei Ya's eyes widened suddenly, but she saw Qi Jinyu's eyes as deep as the ocean.
At this time, someone came in, namely Gao Shan and the others. Gao Shan keenly noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and saw the glaring Wei Ya and the back of a middle-aged man wearing a straight Confucian robe.
"Your Highness Princess..." Gao Shan said bravely: "This gentleman is..."
The middle-aged man turned around, and everyone saw a character who looked relatively gentle and gentle, but his every move showed the majesty of a superior. However, they never expected that this person turned out to be the Emperor of Great Xia.
Wen Hong nodded and said, "Sit down."
Although Gao Shan and others didn't know who he was, seeing how he could hide his master, it must be something complicated.
At this time, another person stepped outside the door. This person was dressed as a scholar, but he had a sword on his back. His sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes looked upright and bright.
"I have met Your Majesty, please pay your respects..." As soon as he came in, Fu Yi saw the emperor and hurriedly lowered his head and saluted.
"His Majesty?"
Gao Shan and others were startled and stood up from the table in panic. With a horrified look on their faces, they leaned down and said, "I've seen..."
"No need to be polite, come on, let me introduce you to this year's top pick. He is also a rare person in ancient and modern times who won three prizes in a row. His name is Chu Xiangfeng."
Everyone was astonished. They had seen the No. 1 scholar in succession, or the literary genius who had won three prizes in a row. They just muttered in their hearts, Chu Xiangfeng? Chu Liuxiang? Could it be that when his parents chose the name, they chose it according to the script.
"Hahaha." Wen Hong saw that the No. 1 Scholar's face was wrong, so he quickly changed his words and said with a smile: "That's wrong, that's wrong, I have a bad memory. It's the chance of meeting the golden wind and jade dew, not the fragrance in the beauty's sleeves.
This is when the number one scholar Chu meets each other. "
"I have seen the number one scholar before. Brother Chu is rich in knowledge and talent. It is my great fortune to have a number one scholar like you."
Gao Shan knew that it was not easy to get the top prize, and he won three prizes in a row. To get first place in the so-called provincial examination, joint examination, and palace examination was simply as difficult as climbing to the sky. Chu Xiangfeng also became a person who would leave his name in history early.
Chu Xiangfeng faced Gao Shan's compliment, but he was not arrogant. Perhaps he thought that the person who could dine with the emperor was not a simple person, but he was also very polite: "I love you, you are also my talents in Daxia, and Daxia is full of talents. The future is limitless.”
"Okay, okay, the flattery is over, sit down."
Then, Baili Chuqiu also walked in, but she was dressed up carefully, wearing a lotus-colored hibiscus embroidered skirt, soft-headed gold-flowered shoes, a fringed jade hairpin on her head, and a small animal velvet jacket. A bud is about to bloom, and the green hills are waiting for spring.
Seeing such beautiful decorations, Mo Ai praised it so much that she forgot about the emperor's existence: "How come Sister Baili has become so much more beautiful? If she continues to be more beautiful, women all over the world will be jealous to death."
Baili Chuqiu's face turned red, and she glanced at her. Only then did Mo Ai remember that the emperor was still there, and that the emperor was wearing
Ordinary people's clothes don't have any pretensions, and they really don't feel as oppressive as those high-ranking masters in the sect.
"I've seen..."
"Hey, you're here again, sit down. I'm not the emperor today. What we're having this time is a family banquet. Don't go through all the complicated etiquette. I've been thinking about this red wine and food after eating it once. But I As long as it tastes a little better, some people will advise me not to indulge in the desire of my mouth and tongue, and to satisfy my appetite. Well, when I was not an emperor, I could eat whatever I wanted.
After the emperor stood in the way, he couldn't do this or that, and he restrained himself and returned to etiquette. When I was studying, I was not so strict. "
The emperor seemed to be grumbling.
However, Chu Xiangfeng was confused. Like Gao Shan and others, where did the word "family banquet" come from.
At this time, someone else came in, a pretty girl with twin ponytails, and the other was a mature and steady Cheng Shifei.
The last person to appear was the old chief assistant Yu Xiubai, and his seat was actually next to Wei Ya.
After everyone sat down, Emperor Wenhong was a little disappointed: "It's a pity that many people didn't come...such as Yun Qingxia..."
"Master Yun, Minister of Rites?" Chu Xiangfeng was a little excited. He looked at the old chief minister: "Master Yun and Master Yuan Weng are both role models in my heart."
Yu Xiubai held a cup of hot tea in his hand. Although he did not look at the emperor, everyone knew that he was speaking to the emperor: "Chu Xianfeng, and Yun Qingxia are both the future pillars of Daxia... Of course they are. Including everyone here."
Gao Shan and others looked terrified, and Wei Ya frowned.
"Hahahaha, why have you started, sir? Do you want to leave a favor to these juniors?"
"Your Majesty, I only tell the truth."
Yu Xiubai has been involved in official circles all his life, so he naturally knows that every word he says should have a deep meaning behind it.
Emperor Wenhong looked around. Sitting on the table were the princess of the Demon Kingdom, everyone from Cunjin Peak, officials from the Si Tianjian, the number one scholar in the Great Xia Dynasty, and senior cabinet ministers.
"I'm not related by blood to you, but you know why I call it a family dinner?"
Guo Huai was quick-thinking and wanted to answer, but was held down by Gao Shan. Guo Huai was puzzled, but he suddenly figured it out. His Majesty did not just ask questions for people to answer. Don't make random comments. This dinner I would rather not speak than make a mistake.
Guo Huai prides himself on being somewhat smart, and even if he is not first-rate, he is still outstanding. When he expresses his opinions, even his senior brother seldom objects. These days, he has become the second most important figure in Cunjin Peak.
It wasn't until today that he suddenly realized that his senior brother was the one who was as wise as a fool, and it was his senior brother who was always checking for leaks and filling in the gaps behind the scenes.
"Because of one person."
His Majesty the Emperor suddenly withdrew his smile, crossed his arms, and did not look at the food on the table.
"The former supervisor of Daxia, You Chuiyun."
Everyone present knew that the current You Chuiyun was not the real You Chuiyun, but they also knew that the person the emperor was referring to now was exactly the person in their hearts.
"He is your benefactor."
Gao Shan and others were silent.
"It's your superior officer."
Qin Lan's face turned a little pale.
"He is Zhuangyuanlang's teacher."
Chu Xiangfeng suddenly realized that the honorary dean of Ping'an Academy was none other than You Chuiyun.
"I'm your friend."
Wei Ya recalled the happy scene on Cunjin Peak. What You Chuiyun did made the mountain become a stream of clear water.
"It's a lover."
Baili Chuqiu was slightly startled.
"It's a planning colleague, Lord Chief Assistant. You and Jian Zheng planned the peace and prosperity of the God King's Tomb together."
Yu Xiubai nodded and said: "Master Jianzheng serves the country and the people, and is a qualified and outstanding official."
Emperor Wenhong stared at the old chief minister for a while, and then said expressionlessly: "He is also my student. At Ping'an Academy, I taught him enlightenment reading. He is so talented that he obtained the meritorious service in three years."
Everyone one
Surprisingly, it turns out that You Chuiyun and the emperor have a teacher-student relationship.
"When I learned that he started practicing, I had already included him in my court team list. Because I believed that my students had the same will as me, so I decided to include one of the highest powers in Daxia Give him the position of Si Tianjian and Supervisor.
In this position, he can realize his ideals and ambitions, and he can make great achievements. His position is like the wings of Kunpeng imagined by many poets and poets. "
Emperor Wen Hong looked at Chu Zhuangyuan: "Chu Xiangfeng, what do you think of this position in your eyes?"
Chu Zhuangyuan was a little frightened and ashamed. He glanced at the old man and said, "The students are not very talented and have little knowledge. They dare not say much."
"Speak frankly. Your Majesty must listen to the truth."
The old chief assistant is as wise as a fox.
"However, the words in the students' minds are vulgar and transgressive."
Wen Hong said: "There is no emperor now, and there is no chief minister. There is no guilt in speaking out."
"One person is inferior to ten thousand people!"
After all, Chu Zhuangyuan was a young man, and his speech rarely had roundabout ways: "The well-being of the people of the country is in his hands. This is a position that scholars of our generation dare not even think of."
Wen Hong immediately sneered: "But he was unhappy, dissatisfied, and showed naked rejection of me - my decision.
He actually regards the post of supervisor, the pillar of the country, as child's play! "
Everyone felt the emperor's anger and did not dare to say anything, but only one person dared to speak.
Wei Ya smiled and said: "Your Majesty is venting his dissatisfaction with You Chuiyun to everyone? I thought the emperor of Daxia had a broad mind and was well-mannered."
Emperor Wen Hong turned to look at the smiling Wei Ya and smiled back: "Princess, you said it wrong. I am not dissatisfied with You Chuiyun."
He looked at everyone again: "You Chuiyun is in the prison position. Half of his monthly salary is sent back to Cunjinfeng and half is donated to Ping'an Academy. Even the Baili family's offerings are all handed over to the Capital Charity Association. We have helped thousands of beggars, orphaned elderly people, and children without fathers and mothers.”
But the emperor immediately changed the subject.
"Small good deeds are enough, but great deeds are not enough."
There was a hint of disappointment in his words: "If money can save the country, then the Song Dynasty will not perish. As a prisoner, he should have seen further, and should be in my sword of the emperor." He is invincible under his fingertips, and can even expand territories, plow gardens and sweep holes. His unparalleled achievements will be immortalized with me. Together with me, we will be famous throughout the ages!"
