"When a dragon soars in the wild, it will help you meet the great people."
At this time, Shen Youchu, who had finished shaking the coins and fortune telling, quickly straightened his skirt and jumped out of the carriage without even saying hello.
Then he turned around and gave him a blessing.
"Master Ning, I will go and play with Jingxian when I'm free, so I won't send you to Princess Xian's mansion."
Ah...this...
After seeing you off all the way, there is only one street away from Princess Xian's mansion. Miss Shen, are you just leaving like this?
Miss Shen, that's not what you said just now. Aren't you looking forward to chatting with Princess Jingxian?
Before Ning Wuyan had time to persuade him to stay, a deafening shout came from the front.
"Long live your majesty!"
"King Kang is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
"Princess Princess Jin An!"
"..."
Ning Wuyan watched helplessly as the cry rang out and Shen Youchu ran faster than a rabbit. There was nothing he didn't understand.
If you run late, you will probably have to salute the royal members one by one like him.
When they learned that His Majesty was coming to greet him in person, the people in the Ning family's motorcade had never seen such a battle before, and they all knelt on the ground.
Ning Wuyi even jumped off the carriage and stretched out his hand towards Ning Wuyu.
"Fifth brother, don't stand on a high place to receive gifts."
Understand.
There is only one emperor present, and no one can stand higher than him.
Ning Wuyan jumped down according to the hand handed to him by his third brother, rubbed his sore buttocks, and limped forward.
The location where the old emperor was greeted was chosen extremely well.
Not at the city gate tower, but on the street where the government specially planned the inn for students from all walks of life to stay.
After all, judging from the history of Daxing, there were only a handful of people or groups of people who could get the emperor to personally come out of the city to greet him in the 210 years since the founding of the dynasty.
The students who came to participate in the competition, even if they were Ning Wuhao who came under the orders, went to the city gate tower to greet them before the matter was completed. If they were given too much face, I am afraid that the culture of emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts would be further strengthened.
When they came in, they showed their presence on the street where they stayed, which not only showed their concern, but also was not so deliberate. If they spread the word, they would only say that the old emperor was courteous and corporal.
The most important thing is that the victory or defeat has not yet been decided. If the battle is too big and we lose, where will the emperor's face be?
Ning Wuhuang always kept in mind that this was an era of concentrated imperial power.
So even though his hip bones hurt a little when walking, he still maintained a decent smile.
Close.
Closer.
Ning Wuyang raised his head and looked at the bright and yellow old emperor sitting on the sweaty horse.
It's almost as expected. Although his figure is not as tall and straight as his grandfather's, it can be seen that he is physically strong and indeed has the strength to survive two princes.
He looked a little older but still very dignified. If I remember anything, it was his phoenix eyes that were somewhat similar to Zhou Jingxian's, which made him feel very kind.
Ning Wuyan was looking at Zhou Qian.
Zhou Qian was also sizing up this Jinling Poet Immortal who became famous all over the world at such a young age.
Although Ning Feng was a general who had fought with him, he didn't know much about the situation in the Ning Mansion. He had seen Ning Feng's eldest son, who looked like a tiger general.
But he had no impression of the remaining two sons at all.
Especially his third son, who was not in good health and was not good at literature or martial arts, he never cared about it.
He never expected that this third son, whom he had never cared about, would have such a good fortune when he married an unknown medical woman and gave birth to a child.
Not only was he praised as a poet by Xu Jidao, but he was also a genius in business, especially when he paid taxes on time. He never used his fame or family name to avoid taxes, and he always gave him some small inventions and surprises, which made him very happy. .
Ruoning Wuyan was just a famous poetry immortal in the poetry world, and she was not worthy of being received by him in person.
But the peace wine, artemisinin, and stirrups that increased the number of cavalry and equestrian skills were all related to this son, so he couldn't help but come to find out.
This appearance is indeed outstanding, and it is no wonder that the eldest lady of the Shen family, who is accustomed to seeing beauties, is always with her, and even the girl Jingxian is attracted to her.
But this moist jade-like appearance and temperament were somewhat inconsistent with the image of the young and frivolous poetry fairy he imagined.
On the other hand, the boy who was supporting Ning Wushan seemed to have a tougher character.
Complex thoughts flashed through Zhou Gan's mind. It was a long story, but it only lasted a moment.
When his eyes moved away from Ning Wuhuang, Ning Wuhuang didn't care to look at the other important person present, King Kang, and lifted up his robe to bow down.
"Greetings to Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
Before he could kneel down after saying this, a whisk flew by, and Ning Wuhuang stood up with the help of his strength, pretending to be ignorant and looked at the old eunuch who took action.
Su Peiyuan shouted at the top of his lungs: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Ning Shixian, you are injured and cannot salute. It's okay to do it another day."
oh.
Then I will pray another day.
Ning Wuyang took advantage of the situation and pulled his third brother up.
Instead of kowtow, he gave a fist-cup salute to the old emperor to show respect.
"I came here today specifically to meet the talents of Daxing and the talents of Xiyi Hall to see how you are preparing."
Is Xiyi Pavilion also on this street?
Ning Wuyan instantly understood why the old emperor was so domineering.
Beheadings occur everywhere and must be guarded against.
Especially when Daxing has not yet established a heir apparent, if something unexpected happens to the old emperor, it will definitely give foreign enemies an opportunity to take advantage of him.
Clearance is not a multiple-choice question but a required question.
Judging from this point alone, the royal family’s sincerity is quite sufficient.
As for the old emperor's question about how the preparations were going... Ning Wuxu thought that he should guess based on the meaning of the words.
The people from the Xiyi Hall arrived early, with the purpose of catching the Daxing students off guard and reversing the home field advantage.
In this case, I am afraid that the envoys from the countries in the Western Regions will put pressure on the imperial court every day and set a date for the competition as soon as possible.
The old emperor could not make decisions completely according to their wishes, nor could he ignore their wishes.
Otherwise, if it is delayed for a long time, it will only be regarded as a big show of cowardice...
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we are all ready!"
"We will not let those barbarians from the Western Regions defeat our Daxing!"
Good guy!
Ning Wuyan was still thinking about how to make good use of this time. Unexpectedly, there were students who were not afraid of tigers as newborn calves and began to issue military orders on the spot.
Who?
Did you drink wine and not eat peanuts for lunch? Do you think you can win the battle before it even starts? Do you really think that the envoys from the countries in the Western Regions are vegetarians?
Not only Ning Wuyan thought so, but also all cautious people felt that the two people who shouted just now acted too impulsively.
Even Zhou Qian raised his eyebrows and looked at the two people talking.
Without waiting for them to come out and show their presence, the two people had already walked out of the crowd, standing ten feet away from the Holy Driver, and bowed their hands.
Ning Wuyang saw their saluting gestures and realized that these were two people with great reputations. Just when he felt that they might be really capable, he listened to the two of them introducing themselves.
"Your Majesty, we are disciples of the Jin Palace. We are best at poetry. We represent Daxing in the battle this time, and we will definitely be able to fight without danger."
"Really talented people don't need too much preparation at all. Literary literacy is not developed in a day or two, but is accumulated continuously. Your Majesty, we are already prepared and can charge into battle for Your Majesty at any time!"
