At this time, in a restaurant diagonally across from Wuhou Temple, several people were almost laughing.
One of the red-faced old men held his gray beard and laughed loudly, spitting foam everywhere.
Sitting on the other side was a man wearing a scribe's scarf, a gentle face, and a dark complexion. He was also shaking his head and laughing.
The old man was sitting in front of a woman with beautiful appearance and lively eyes, who was wearing a refined and light spirit. At this time, he was covering his face with a handkerchief and was laughing incessantly.
There was also a vulgar and brawny man who was even more unbearable. He slapped the table with his big hand, and the table full of good wine and food made him jump up and down, laughing endlessly.
After a while, the rough and strong man stopped laughing and said intermittently as if he was out of breath: "I never expected that the grand master's eldest son Hong Jie would suffer such a big loss from such a wild and wild man.
.If you tell me, you will laugh to death, hahaha." He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and laughed again.
The woman with bright eyes smiled so brightly that she said: "But Eunuch Bao was a bit lenient with Mr. Hong. He made it clear that anyone who made any noise would never be allowed to participate in the martial arts competition. After Hong Jie yelled,
But it didn't directly take away his martial arts status, but instead deliberately awakened him."
The vulgar strong man laughed loudly and said: "Then what do you think? After all, he is the eldest son of the imperial master. If Eunuch Bao really deprives him of the qualification to participate in the martial arts competition in his lifetime, it does not mean that the imperial master is severely beaten.
Is that a hypocrite with a big mouth? Although his Eunuch Bao is one of the top ten red-robed eunuchs in the palace, he should not go too far against a powerful figure like Master Hong. If this general reads out the imperial edict, he will definitely call him
People beat Hong Jie out. Haha! That will be interesting."
The red-faced old man tugged at his gray beard and laughed twice more. Then he straightened his face and said, "It's not in vain that I came here to have a drink early this morning, but let's talk about serious things."
The middle-aged scribe also put away the smile on his face and said: "This year's literary selection has passed and only the martial arts selection is left. As for the selected characters, they are selected by the palace officials themselves and are not something that we officials can get involved with."
Come on, our harvest in the literary selection is really limited. There is only one third-ranked person in the top three. Originally, this is nothing. After all, we military generals are not the targets of those scholars. But this year, a sub-sage-like person came out of the Taishi.
The character and the article shocked the Hundred Saints, and with this prestige, our influence among the civil servants will be greatly affected."
The few people who were still laughing at the mention of this point immediately stopped smiling, with solemn expressions on their faces.
The woman put away the brocade handkerchief and blinked her eyes like autumn water and said curiously: "The sub-sage of the literary world?"
The scribe nodded and said: "Miss Liu Shi has just come back from her travels and has not heard of it yet. This person is the concubine of the Grand Master, with a single name. He was originally an inconspicuous figure in the Grand Master's residence. However,
A few months ago, he took up the post of grain and fodder transport officer and then rose up like a shooting star. I have met this person once before. He is indeed somewhat talented, but I did not expect that this person would be featured in an anthology a few days ago.
When this article was written, the golden light was generous, and the words danced in the sky, and caused the clouds and gases of the heaven and earth to gather in the sky. Thunder and lightning flashed over the entire Yingdu, and the clouds were blue and purple, which was like the birth of an ancient saint!"
Liu Shi pondered for a moment and sighed: "Oh? Is there such a strange thing? It seems that I will have to read Hong Huang's article when I have time."
The red-faced old man said disdainfully: "When a saint was born, I just smelled an overwhelming sour smell. I think it's just a coincidence! Forget it, things in the literary world are already like this. It's useless for us to think about it. This martial arts competition has been terrible over the years.
The world belongs to us, we must not let the Grand Master snatch us away from us this time."
The scribe-like man nodded, but said with a hint of worry on his face: "I'm afraid the situation this year will be much different than in previous years. I heard that Hong Huang, who just caused the clouds and thunder in the world, also participated in this martial arts election. I don't know.
What's his idea?"
"Oh?" The red-faced old man, Liu Shi, and the rough and strong man all frowned.
"Doesn't he still want to imitate that old thief Hong Xizhao and Zeshi and become a general in both civil and military affairs?"
The look on the scribe's face dimmed slightly, and then he nodded silently and said: "Back then, Hong Xizhao and I were candidates for the same subject. He was the top candidate and I was the second in the literary selection. I was a little dissatisfied, but since the status was determined in the Golden Palace,
I also had the idea of winning the first place, and then I went to take the Wushu exam. Unexpectedly, Hong Xizhao also took the Wushu exam. After a battle between the two of us, he still won the top prize and I was ranked second again.
Second place in the ranking, I was young and energetic at that time, so I was determined to overpower Hong Xizhao in the future. I didn’t want to be his opponent in the court, so I angrily joined the army and conquered the battlefield.
His meritorious service on the battlefield surpassed that of his Hong Xizhao. Who would have thought that thirty years have passed by and I am still a head shorter than him. He has been a Grand Master for more than ten years now, but I have become a bullshit general with no real power until now.
Only then did I really admit that I, Zheng Zeshi, could not compare to him, Hong Xizhao."
Speaking of this, Zheng Zeshi suddenly laughed bitterly, "Who knew that not only I couldn't compare to him, but even my son followed my old path and only got the top prize in the literary anthology, while he, a little-known bastard, attracted the attention of the world with his articles.
Lei Ziqi, now all the civil and military officials in the dynasty regard him as a sub-sage-like figure... Hehe, Master Hong is really a great blessing."
The three of them were silent for a moment when they heard Zheng Zeshi's words. At that time, Hong Xizhao and Zheng Zeshi were the most outstanding young talents in the Shang Kingdom. They were both versatile in both civil and military affairs. Each of them was a rare talent that could not be seen in a century. It was a pity that they not only collided.
They happened to be together in the same department, and winning the second place in the civil and military examinations was regarded as a great event for the great merchants. After that, the two served as officials together for more than thirty years. Unfortunately, Zheng Zeshi always looked lower than Hong Xizhao, which made it inevitable for people to have a child.
Why did Hong Xizhao feel so sad when he gave birth to Zheng Zeshi?
Liu Shi Qiushui turned around and smiled sweetly: "If even the civil and military generals of our Shang Kingdom who commanded millions of troops, and General Zheng Zeshi, the pillar of the country personally named by the late emperor, said that he was a bullshit general with no real power, then the entire Shang Dynasty
The country has no one who can stand out on the stage. General Zheng doesn’t want to shoot all the generals underground with just one sentence.”
Zheng Zeshi smiled bitterly and said: "So what, General Civil and Military? Aren't you being led by the nose by his Grand Master Hong? I have to attack wherever he wants me to fight, and I have to guard the border if he asks me to guard the border. In the final analysis
This court still belongs to him, Hong Xizhao."
As soon as Zheng Zeshi said these words, no one else spoke. Everyone here was a close friend, so Zheng Zeshi didn't hesitate to speak. At this time, Emperor Jinglong had just performed the adult ceremony. Although he had officially ascended the throne, he was unable to control the government at all.
Taishi Hong Xizhao has been sitting in the court for more than ten years, holding sole power. Everyone in the court is his confidant, so Emperor Jinglong has to look at his face to act. It can be said that one person is inferior to tens of thousands of people. Although Hong Xi
Teru had no intention of proclaiming himself king and replacing him, but he already had the strength to easily accomplish this idea. Such a person was a thorn in the heart for the emperor, and he had to be eliminated quickly. Unfortunately, the emperor had no one who could fight him.
Hong Xizhao was the bargaining chip for the fight. Although the emperor was young, he still had a deep understanding of some of the grievances between Zheng Zeshi and Hong Xizhao for more than thirty years, and Zheng Zeshi was a commoner who was most sincere to the royal family, so he
Secretly, through one of his ten red-robed father-in-laws, a belt edict was delivered to Zheng Zeshi, instructing him to escort King Qin to find a way to overthrow Hong Xizhao.
Zheng Zeshi sighed and said slowly: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. It's been more than a year since I took the belt order. Not only did Zheng make no progress and failed to bring down Hong Xizhao, but the thief's power became stronger and stronger.
Then he became like a true emperor of the Shang Dynasty. All the officials in the court were appointed and removed from his mouth. He paid homage without mentioning his name. He went to the hall with swords and shoes. If the emperor made any mistakes in the main hall, he would scold him or draw his sword in the hall to intimidate the emperor.
He is really arrogant and domineering. Every time he thinks of this, Zheng feels like a thorn in his back, his ears and face are burning, and he is ashamed of being a minister. He wishes he could stab this official to death in a rage in the Golden Palace. Unfortunately, since Hong Xizhao is a great businessman, he is naturally superior in martial arts.
It’s not bad. Although I haven’t seen him doing anything with others for a long time, I have a vague feeling that this person’s cultivation level has entered the ranks of top masters, and it is not known that he has even broken through to the top level.”
The vulgar strong man was stunned for a moment and then lowered his voice and said: "Are you saying that Hong Xizhao has reached the most mysterious legendary state of invulnerability and immortality?"
