Therefore, Su Ziji's talent, fame, meritorious service, and path made the King of Qi secretly despise him and did not regard him as a real competitor.
Not to mention competing for the throne, this style and path are not even enough to be a governor!
But when he saw him today, King Qi shuddered. His appearance and demeanor were like those of a prince.
Knowing that this kind of appearance makes people feel that "only a minister can have it", even though the prince has always been gentle, courteous and amiable, he is still jealous of his father.
But now that he saw Su Ziji, he still couldn't hold himself back, and even felt faintly afraid.
"This son cannot be kept." This thought really took root in King Qi's heart for the first time.
"Twenty years ago, the prince held my hand and entered the palace..." Even the King of Shu looked confused, and his voice gradually faded away halfway through the sentence.
The two of them looked back at the palace, both in a daze. They took it for granted that the prince was pressing them so hard that they couldn't breathe and felt despair in their hearts. Who could compete with such a prince?
Unexpectedly, the emperor fought with him and forcibly deposed the prince.
No, it's not useless, it's worn to death.
After a long time, King Qi woke up, got into the ox cart, and with a flash of eyes, he said, "King Shu, do you want to come to my house and tell me?"
The King of Shu also woke up and turned around, folded his folding fan and bowed his head, saying: "No, I remember that the prince will be dying in a few days, so I will also give him a stick of incense from a distance."
King Qi didn't say anything, and ordered: "Go back to the house!"
Seeing his two brothers leaving, King Lu smiled and said, "Come on, hurry up, let's follow and watch the fun - is Mr. Guijun Xigui here?"
Royal Street·Kuaguan
Su Ziji found that Dazheng's boasters were no worse than those in the previous dynasty in terms of liveliness.
Officials from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites held the imperial edict, held high the "Golden Banner", and sounded gongs in front to clear the way. Since they could not ride horses, the new Jinshi behind them just followed, and the speed was actually much slower than riding horses.
But because of this, during the process of going to Daming Gate, the onlookers can feast their eyes and enjoy it.
Su Ziji walked in front of the team, followed by the second-place winner. He always felt that he was no longer the so-called top pick in a new subject, but a rare animal that was being watched enthusiastically by everyone.
"This is not as good as riding a horse to show off, at least it can be faster." Su Ziji thought helplessly as he listened to the exclamations of the people around him and felt the hot gazes on him.
But there are probably very few new Jinshi who have this idea. If you turn around slightly, you can see the second and third place winners, all with bright smiles on their faces. They are obviously trying hard to suppress the corners of their mouths, but they can't help but raise them again with every exclamation. .
Because officials in this dynasty could not ride horses, the protective measures were improved accordingly.
When you can ride a horse, there is often no restriction on throwing some handkerchiefs and flowers from high places, because the new scholars can avoid them flexibly. But at this moment, he could not ride a horse, and his speed was slow. There were government servants, officers and soldiers blocking the people on both sides, and they were also watching to see if anyone was throwing objects from high altitude. If they were discovered, officers and soldiers would immediately go up to inquire and record.
This made Su Ziji immediately put down his worries.
"Husband!" Amidst the shouts, discussions, and envy, Su Ziji suddenly heard a familiar shout as he walked through a place lined with restaurants. Following the sound, he raised his head slightly and looked over.
Sure enough, on the second floor of a restaurant, under the morning light, a familiar girl was trying her best to wave to herself, and there were two foxes on the left and right.
She smiled brightly and her eyes were filled with tears due to excitement. Su Ziji had excellent eyesight and saw it all at once.
Su Ziji smiled at her and waved his hand, but because in that direction there were not only Ye Buhui and Ye Taoist, but also people watching. Some of the women screamed because of the smile of the new champion man. stand up.
There was a window of another restaurant not far away. Since the newly promoted Jinshi who praised the officials all walked and had to keep the team in order, the journey was slow. When King Lu arrived, he could calmly climb up the window and look down, but he only stared at it. Take a look at Su Ziji, the number one scholar.
When the people in front walked away and only the Jinshi in the middle was left walking slowly, he looked away without interest and asked the person beside him: "Mr. Gui, Su Ziji is only seventeen years old now, right?"
The person in question, Gui Junxi, was wearing casual clothes, so it could be seen that he was not an ordinary citizen.
Gui Junxi: "Yes, Su Ziji is seventeen years old this year."
"Seventeen years old..." King Lu looked outside again.
Now passing under the window is a second-level Jinshi, who is considered young and promising, but most of them are in their twenties or thirties, and there are very few Jinshis in their teens.
Even the top two Jinshi scholars are barely over ten years old, but this time the number one scholar is only seventeen years old!
How talented, how prosperous, and enviable!
"You are four years younger than me." King Lu sighed, and suddenly asked: "What do you think of Su Ziji?"
This question is somewhat interesting.
In the eyes of others, it may be about the person's talent or behavior.
But King Lu asked this question, and the person asking the question was special, so he naturally had another meaning.
However, Gui Junxi did not answer immediately. He looked at everyone again and said, "If you can pass the Jinshi examination, no matter what you have done before, you will have a noble spirit that will nourish your life."
As he said that, he pointed to a few people passing by: "Look, this second-grade Jinshi has a Qi that melts when he reaches the top of his head. It means that he is a Quaker and a second-grade Jinshi. He is afraid that he will be able to enter the cabinet in the future."
"Of course this will take time. Although it is possible to achieve it, it may also be aborted due to accidents, but there is always such a possibility."
Pointing to another person: "Although this one is also a second-grade Jinshi, and his ranking is similar to that of the person just now, his acceptance is limited and he is still digesting it slowly. This means that he is slightly worse in terms of fate. It is estimated that he will only be able to stop at the fourth grade in the future. , can’t go any higher.”
Then he pointed to several people as examples in turn and said: "Only Su Ziji is different from them."
"The aura of nobility has reached its peak, but not much has changed. This is because the aura of Mr. Hou originally existed. This sincerity is rare."
"The spirit of a prince?" King Lu was a little surprised when he heard this.
He originally thought that this person said so much, mysterious and mysterious, how powerful Su Ziji was, but in the end it was just like this?
The aura of a prince is indeed extremely precious to ordinary people, far more valuable than changing a family court, or even the smoke rising from an ancestral grave.
But for the royal people, it was considered incompetent for an imperial grandson to only get a marquis.
This kind of "nobility" can be obtained even if you are afraid of eating and waiting to die, so it's nothing, right?
Gui Junxi didn't need King Lu to speak to understand what King Lu was thinking. He shook his head with a smile and explained: "You don't know, for a noble person like you, who is listed on the Jade Certificate, it is normal to have the aura of a prince."
"But before the minister has been appointed an official or a knight, he still has the status of a noble prince. This is considered a very rare Quaker."
"According to the records of the previous dynasty, there were only a handful of people, but they all became great weapons in the future, regardless of whether they were loyal or traitorous."
"The prince can recruit them in advance. They will be very useful, or God will give him the wings."
"Pfft" King Lu was listening thoughtfully. Hearing this sentence, he suddenly laughed up to the sky, making Gui Junxi look sideways, and he really couldn't guess what his master was thinking.
