Tang Ji was quickly taken to the palace gate of the inner city by the imperial army. Benches had been set up there, and there were soldiers holding court swords on both sides. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but think of the painful beating that Li Chonghan suffered a long time ago.
Seeing the scene of tears, he swallowed his saliva and said to Bai Chang who was following him: "Manager Bai, Your Majesty must be just having fun. If I really get this beating, I won't be able to get out of bed for a month, and I'm so old."
It’s not a good thing for those who celebrate the festival to see blood.”
Bai Chang waved his sleeves lightly and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty speaks so eloquently, and it is impossible to take back what you say!"
Hearing this, Tang Ji lowered his head helplessly. Instead of swallowing his anger like this, he might as well take Li Yu with him, find a place to recruit troops, and build some thermal weapons to knock Ning Guo down!
Soon, he was pinned down on a thick and long stool by two forbidden soldiers.
"Execution!"
As a sharp voice came from Bai Chang's mouth, the soldiers on both sides began to move.
Tang Ji gritted his teeth and closed his eyes silently, but then he didn't feel any pain in his buttocks. When he turned around, he found a thick wooden board resting on his buttocks, and the two soldiers were beating the board hard.
, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Chang covered his throat and coughed twice, then lowered his voice and said: "Master Tang, your Majesty is just angry and won't really hit you. However, if anything like this happens in the future, remember to write to the court first and don't act recklessly. Also,
Remember to write down the novel methods you just used in the imperial study and submit them to His Majesty."
Tang Ji lay lazily on the bench, curled his lips, and finally nodded.
Soon all the boards fell down, and Bai Chang left with the forbidden troops, not forgetting to remind Tang Ji: "Master Tang, if you get hit by a board, remember to show off a little."
"Thank you, Manager Bai, for reminding me." Tang Ji held his hand slightly, watched the other person go away, then turned and left, planning to go back to catch up on some sleep, and promised to go out with Jiang Ran in the evening.
As soon as he walked out of the inner city, he saw a handsome man wearing a green official uniform walking towards him. After a closer look, he found out that it was Qin Fei, the number one scholar in this year's imperial examination. He sighed in his heart, "You are so young and you are still working so hard" and he was about to leave.
, who expected to be interrupted by the latter.
"I have met Mr. Tang."
Qin Fei went from the prefecture examination to understand the Yuan Dynasty, to the provincial examination to Hui Yuan, and then to the palace examination to become the number one scholar. He was the second number one scholar in Ningguo since the founding of the country. His gold content was very high, and he was directly awarded the title of Hanlin Compilation, and the sixth rank of official residence.
, Tang Ji naturally admired such a talent, and raised his hand: "Qin Zhuangyuan is so polite, isn't he taking a break today? Why didn't he go out to celebrate the festival?"
"I accidentally destroyed Master Bachelor's case file yesterday, so I have to work hard today." Qin Fei shrugged helplessly, sighed, and turned to look at Tang Ji: "Master Tang, didn't you also have no rest? You are so diligent.
, no wonder you are so valued by His Majesty."
Respect?
Is it too important to be serious?
Tang Ji pursed his lips in disapproval, but didn't explain much. Just as he was about to say goodbye to Qin Fei, he noticed that the other party was casting a fiery gaze, and he couldn't help but shudder.
"Master Tang, it seems that you haven't written a poem with the theme of 'Mid-Autumn Festival'. Are you ready for today? I wonder if you can reveal it to me in advance? I promise not to leak the secret!" Qin Fei looked excited, with a look on his face.
He solemnly raised his hand and assured.
Tang Ji took a step back, maybe because he copied too many poems. He used to dream that a group of poets came into his dream and scolded him for plagiarism. Li Shixian even almost wanted to kill him, so now he is not interested in poetry at all.
No, he shook his head and said as an excuse: "Your Majesty has important matters for me. Naturally, I will focus on court affairs. I can wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival poems later."
After hearing this, Qin Fei returned to normal and nodded: "Master Tang is devoted to the country, and I really admire him."
"Master Qin passed three yuan, I think his future achievements must be higher than mine..." Tang Ji complimented the other party casually, then said hello and left.
Looking at his back, Qin Fei's eyes shone brightly and he murmured: "As expected of someone I, Qin Fei, admire. It seems that we must work hard to catch up with Mr. Tang!"
...
In the palace of the Prince of Jin.
Li Xian has become much more honest and calm since he recovered from the injury. During this period, he has also been practical and responsible for the affairs of the DPRK and China. Therefore, he regained some of the rights he had lost due to the previous fraud plan, and was praised by Emperor Ning in the morning.
At this time, he was lying leisurely on a wicker chair in the backyard, humming a little tune, pouring the fine wine poured by the maid into his mouth from time to time, and living a happy life.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man wearing a dark brown satin gown walked through the corridor. He was of medium build. Although he had a paralyzed face, he had a full forehead and thick eyebrows. He looked quite majestic. He put his hands behind his back and spoke calmly.
: "His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, is so leisurely. Are you planning to give up the throne?"
Li Xian glanced at him sideways, then withdrew his gaze and replied casually: "The most proud person in the court now is Li Yu. I don't believe that Li Qin can sit still, so I let them bite dogs. I will take the fishermen."
It’s very convenient.”
The middle-aged man sat down at a nearby stone table, took the wine poured by the maid, and took a sip: "The Yang family was destroyed, and Li Qin didn't do anything. Everyone wants to be a fisherman, so who will be the snipe and clam.
"
Even so, Li Xian remained unmoved: "Maybe that boy Tang Ji is really a disaster star and is being used by my father. Unless I send someone to kill him, I have no way to deal with him for the time being."
After the imperial examination, he hated Tang Ji deeply and secretly looked for opportunities to overthrow him. Unexpectedly, it was reported that Tang Ji wanted to attack his relatives, the Yang family, so he wanted to see that young boy.
Why go head-to-head with a century-old powerful clan!
Now that a few months have passed and the results have become self-evident, Li Xian has stopped thinking about dealing with Tang Ji directly, so as not to be targeted by the guy who is determined to retaliate again, and plans to plan slowly!
Therefore, let him say that now there is no other option but to directly send people to kill Tang Ji.
After hearing Li Yu's reply, the middle-aged man did not feel that Li Xian was weak and incompetent. Instead, he grinned and sneered: "Your Highness's words are enough!"
Hearing this, Li Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, turned over and looked at him: "What? Are you really planning to attack Tang Ji?"
Seeing that the other party was silent, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Don't say that I haven't reminded you before. My father values Tang Ji very much. Even if you succeed and make my father really angry, you will be enshrined in the capital."
We will pursue him with all our strength, if we are implicated in this king again, then all our plans will be ruined."
"Enshrined in the capital? In my eyes, they are nothing more than ants." The middle-aged man smiled lightly, put the teacup in his hand back on the table, looked at Li Xian and said with a smile: "Your Highness, King Xian, during the autumn hunt.
, I will arrange for a master to go with you, and then just leave everything to him."
"Is this really possible?" Li Xian straightened up worriedly.
The middle-aged man did not give him a chance to bargain. He stood up and planned to leave. He did not forget to leave a sentence: "Since I have promised to assist His Highness the Wise King, I will naturally not push you into a pit of fire. Please rest assured, Your Highness."
"
Not long after he finished speaking, his figure disappeared into the corridor.
Li Xian froze on the spot, staring at the tea cup in his hand, and murmured: "The person who reassured me before is either dead or exiled..."
...
The middle-aged man left through the back door of Prince Jin's Mansion, but as soon as he stepped onto the street, two men in gray clothes appeared beside him.
"Palace Master Yan, Ambassador Zuo is here and she wants to see you."
Hearing this, Xu Zhuyan raised her eyebrows slightly. Five years later, she finally came back. She took a deep breath and walked towards the street.
After a long time, several people entered a mansion in the south of the city. The mansion was quite gorgeously decorated, with various green plants and flowers planted everywhere, making people feel at ease and relaxed when they were there. Xu Zhuyan was familiar with the road.
He walked from the main courtyard through the long path connecting the backyard, and finally led him down to a door.
He adjusted his expression, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
The next moment, a gentle and delicate voice came from the room.
"Come in!"
Xu Zhuyan heard the sound and pushed open the door. This room was just a guest room. He rarely lived in the mansion, so he was not familiar with the furnishings inside. After entering the door, he looked around, and his eyes finally locked on the charming curve of the mahogany square chair sitting inside.
On the shadow body.
There were only a few candles lit at the entrance of the house, and the light was not particularly good, but in the peripheral light, the woman's perfect and seductive figure was outlined.
The woman in black gently brushed her hair around her ears, slowly opened her closed eyes, and lightly opened her jade lips under the veil: "It has been five years. I heard that Hall Master Yan has gathered and cultivated a lot of power in secret. I don't know if I can return it."
Remember me?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhuyan took two steps forward, then knelt down on one knee, raised his hands and saluted: "The Lord of the Holy Alliance Hall, King Yama, pays homage to Envoy Ling Zuo."
"Get up." Ling Ying waved her hand casually, leaned on the chair, and said softly: "Back then, you ignored the opposition of all the hall masters and went your own way to Kyoto. If I hadn't stopped you, you would have been killed by your right envoy or
Several elders were killed on the way."
"Thank you, Mr. Zuo Shi, for saving your life." Xu Zhuyan stood up, cupped his hands and thanked him, then gritted his teeth and said, "We are already the overlords of the Holy Domain, but if we want to conquer the world, what's the use of hiding in one place?
, we must take a longer view!”
"Well, I still very much support your idea, otherwise I wouldn't have secretly sent people to assist you all these years." Ling Ying played with her fingers and added with an indifferent expression: "Now, it has been proved that your approach is very wise.
"
After hearing her words, Xu Zhuyan opened his eyes suddenly and exclaimed: "You, are you not here to take your subordinates back?"
"Take you back? I can't beat you, how can I take you back?" Ling Ying sneered, stood up slowly, clasped her hands in front of her lower abdomen: "This time, the palace master personally ordered you to disrupt Ning Guo.
The royal family, when the time is right, help the Holy Alliance seize Ning Country!"
Hearing this, Xu Zhuyan was a little unbelievable, his hands trembled slightly, and he said excitedly: "Thank you, Lord Palace Master!"
