Reborn as King again

Chapter 84 Qionglin Banquet

Liu Deng, deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, was beheaded by me, and the Zhengdu Commander, Lord Shang, had half a year to go back to seclusion. For a while, the Imperial Forest Army was leaderless.I thought that the Imperial Forest Army would not be able to find someone who could replace Liu Deng for a while, so I ordered Mr. Zhang to work for another half a year, so that he could dig out and find a suitable successor within a year.

The Imperial Forest Army is a fat job. The higher I climb, the more I, the emperor, will be tasked with. A few years ago, Jia Wanru once blew my pillow with me and asked his elder brother Jia Liang to join the Imperial Forest Army.In the previous life, Jia Liang got into the position of the capital of the Imperial Forest Army. King Rui rebelled, and before the troops approached the palace, he not only refused to resist, but beat the palace gate, making me a prisoner of King Rui.In this life, Jia Liang was still sent to the Imperial Forest Army by me. His every move and work arrangement were all under my surveillance.

I have to say that Jia Liang is a talent. He liked to wield knives and guns, and he did well in the Imperial Forest Army. With the support of the Jia family, he was promoted very fast. Now that he is in the position of captain, something happened to Liu Deng , as long as I get my approval, Jia Liang is likely to replace Liu Deng in command of the Yulin Army, but how can I let him sit in that position easily, so I have been pressing this matter.If this was the case before, Jia Wanru would have acted coquettishly with me for her elder brother, in order to consolidate their Jia family's position, and let his elder brother get the position of the Imperial Forest Army Commander. This is what Jia Wanru did in her previous life.But in this life, Jia Wanru is in a cold war with me because her son Li Yi was adopted by me. She hasn't forgiven me yet, so how could she help Jia Liang with errands? I gave in and asked me to hand over the Imperial Forest Army to Jia Liang.I know Jia Wanru's temperament very well. She has been admired by the stars for so many years, she is a very proud person, and she will not succumb to me easily.But it doesn't matter, I still say that, one day, Jia Wanru will kneel at my feet like a dog and beg for me.

Su Zhongyi, the chief coach of the Yulin Army, was promoted by me after Liu Deng's death, and he became a third-rank captain directly, and his status was equal to Jia Liang's.Su Zhongyi felt like a dream in the past few days. How could he be hit by a big pie that fell from the sky? He didn't know that the pie was not too big, and the real big pie was yet to come.No, a few days after Su Zhongyi was promoted, I issued another imperial decree, asking Su Zhongyi to bring his only son Su Zhuo into the palace at the Qionglin Banquet on June [-]th.

After Su Zhongyi received the imperial decree, he was completely dumbfounded. The Qionglin Banquet had nothing to do with him as a general, so why did he have to enter the palace to participate?Su Zhongyi suddenly remembered that when he met He Wenliu and I outside the palace more than two months ago, I seemed to have said that I was going to find a companion for the sixth prince Li Ji to read. A thought flashed through Su Zhongyi, would his son want to enter the palace? Is the palace a companion?If this matter is finalized, it will be another piece of pie.

The Qionglin Banquet is a banquet held for the new Jinshi after the palace examination.In the Qionglin Garden in the palace, I, the emperor, is the host, entertaining the new scholars and ministers. Of course, the ministers can bring their family members. Generally, the ministers bring the girls who are waiting to be married to the banquet. There is a kind of blind date in disguise. Feel.It is a great honor to be able to attend the Qionglin Banquet, because here you can not only taste the delicious food of the palace, but as a new talent of Chollima, you can also be favored by Bo Le, and maybe you can become the son-in-law of an important minister in the court. .

Concubines with status in the harem will also come here to see the talents.After the banquet started, the ministers all began to drink happily. Some of them even brought their own daughters to introduce this year's new champions and second placers. She lowered her head shyly.

Sitting on the dragon chair drinking wine, looking at the ministers running around with their daughters, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. Fortunately, my daughter is still young, otherwise I would have to take my daughter on a blind date like the ministers below.

"Father, what are you thinking?" Yun'er came to me at some point, her pursed mouth could hang a water bottle.

"What's wrong?" I just saw Yun'er, and it was a little funny to see her pretending to be angry.

Yun'er is wearing a goose-yellow silk gauze dress today, with a princess bun, her big watery eyes are narrowed into a slit at the moment, and she said angrily: "I have been walking around in front of you for a long time, you did not see it."

"Then what did Yun'er come to see Father?" I pulled Yun'er and let her sit beside me, just as I was thinking of marrying my daughter, one of them ran over.I don't have many daughters, except for Dan'er who passed away, and Bi'er is not my own, after all, only Yun'er is left, who is naturally doted on.

When I asked, Yun'er's little mouth that had just calmed down pouted again: "I'm here to find my concubine mother. I played with the little palace ladies for a while, and my concubine disappeared."

It is common for He Wenliu to not be seen. He doesn't like such occasions, and usually sits there quietly. If it is like this kind of banquet where he can move around freely, He Wenliu will just come out to show his face, and then people don't know Where did he go.

"Your mother and concubine will appear in a while," I said. Yun'er is only three years old, and she is still very young to marry. It may be infected by today's atmosphere. What kind of person do you want to marry?"

Yun'er is only a little older, so how could she understand these things: "Who? Of course he is married to Brother Dahuang."

I knew Yun'er would say that, she likes Li Chen as much as Dan'er, I said: "Then besides Shen'er? What do you like? For example, Zhuangyuan Lang or something like that?" Dan'er in the previous life was like this At the Qionglin Banquet, I was chosen by a number one scholar, so I also hope that Yun'er can marry a number one scholar in the future and live happily.

Yun'er still doesn't quite understand: "What is the number one scholar? Is the number one scholar as beautiful as the elder brother?"

Yun'er likes Li Chen very much, and compares everything with Li Chen. I think even if the whole Central Plains is turned upside down, it will be difficult to find someone more beautiful than Li Chen.But I still didn't give up. I pointed to the ministers and Jinshi who were drinking and talking, and explained to Yun'er: "The number one scholar is the dragon among men, the best among outstanding talents, and the most powerful among them." .”

Yun'er squinted her eyes, and asked coolly: "Then is the number one scholar as good as your father?"

"..." Yun'er confused me, no matter how capable the number one scholar is, he can't match the real dragon emperor.

Seeing that I couldn't give an answer, Yun'er felt that what she said was very reasonable: "That number one scholar is not as beautiful as the emperor's brother, and he is not as powerful as the father. I really don't know what he is showing off here." To see Li Yun'er, the beloved fifth princess, commenting on herself like this, she must have been aggrieved to death.

——View Dividing Line——

At this moment, the number one scholar Xia Zhijie, whose virtue couldn't be lowered by Yun'er, couldn't stand the ministers at the Qionglin Banquet treating him like a wealthy son-in-law, and quietly left the scene.

Xia Zhijie is a member of the powerful Xia clan, the nephew of Grand Master Xia Lizhi, and the concubine son of General Xia Ligang of Rongma. The concubine Xia Zhiyuan in the palace is Xia Zhijie's direct brother.

Xia Zhijie is 26 years old now, he is very eloquent, humorous, and his outstanding appearance makes all the official ladies in Qionglin Banquet fall in love with him at first sight.But Xia Zhijie didn't like this, he had a few glasses of wine with the court officials, pretended to be drunk, and left the banquet, looking for a quiet place for himself to feel at ease.Xia Zhijie knows that everything is hard-won now, he was born to his father's housemate, because his mother came from a humble background, so he can't even call the house girl "mother", Xia Ligang has many sons, and he won't go Disregarding a son who was born in a common room, Xia Zhijie could only climb up desperately by himself.

Fortunately, Xia Zhijie was born in the big family of the Xia family. No matter how he is not seen at home, he is still radiant outside. The Xia family will not let his sons be bullied outside.Xia Zhijie was smart since he was a child, and he was always praised by his teachers when he went to the academy. Even if he was a child of a concubine, he couldn't stop him from being a talented person.But Xia Ligang was born as a general, and he still didn't care much about Wen Zouzou's son. It wasn't until this time that his indifferent son actually won the first prize in the exam, which made Xia Ligang realize that he had such an excellent son. .At this time, Xia Zhijie had long been disheartened with his father, but no matter how much he disliked him, he was still his biological father, and his official career would depend on the Xia family to maintain him.

The imperial palace is huge, Xia Zhijie, as a concubine, would not be able to enter in his whole life if he hadn't been the number one scholar in high school.Xia Zhijie wanted to avoid the shy but adoring eyes of the girls at the Qionglin Banquet, so he turned around casually, but he couldn't find his way back because the palace was too big, he didn't know where he turned .

A breeze blew by, and Xia Zhijie smelled the water. He walked forward and saw a small artificial lake not far ahead. A small arch bridge was built with white marble on the artificial lake. Xia Zhijie saw the small A green figure stands on the arch bridge, which just echoes with the emerald green lake water.

Xia Zhijie walked there in a strange manner. He obviously couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but he wanted to use the word "fairy" to describe this person.Xia Zhijie saw that the man was not wearing the uniform of a guard or eunuch, and thought that this man, like him, was here for the banquet.

Xia Zhijie walked up the arch bridge and came to the man in the green gown. The man still didn't notice his arrival, but just stared at the lake in a daze. Seeing so engrossed?"

He Wenliu was taken aback by this unexpected visitor, turned around and took two steps back, looking at Xia Zhijie defensively.At this moment, He Wenliu is used to being alone. I don't know if the emperor did it on purpose. He Wenliu left the banquet privately and came to a clean place where no one would disturb him no matter what he did. It is no wonder that Xia Zhijie suddenly appeared today. He Wenliu would have such a reaction.

Xia Zhijie finally saw He Wenliu's face, and his heart trembled slightly, as if a voice said that this is the person.Xia Zhijie unconsciously looked at He Wenliu twice more, and felt that this person was a little familiar, as if he had seen him before, seeing that He Wenliu had not said a word, he broke the embarrassment himself and said: "This young master is also here to participate in the Qionglin Banquet ?”

He Wenliu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, feeling somewhat clear in his heart, it seems that this person in front of him is a newly promoted talent this year, and he did not know the rules of the palace when he entered the palace for the first time, if other people saw him, they would quietly detour Just do it so he won't be disturbed.

Seeing that He Wenliu finally paid attention to him, Xia Zhijie cupped his hands and said, "The next name is Xia, and the name is Zhijie. He is this year's new champion. I don't know your name?"

Xia Zhijie's self-reported name didn't shock He Wenliu much. He Wenliu didn't take the imperial examination, so he didn't take young talents like Xia Zhijie to heart.And Xia Zhijie regarded He Wenliu as this year's new Jinshi who intends to make friends with him, and was attracted by He Wenliu's unique temperament. Xia Zhijie felt that the trip was worthwhile for someone he admired so much.

Xia Zhijie was waiting for He Wenliu to speak to him, but the appearance of Wanfu interrupted the beautiful encounter, "Ms. Wenfei, so you are here."

Concubine Wen? !This father-in-law knew the person in front of him, and it turned out that the person he was talking to was a concubine in the harem.Xia Zhijie was a little annoyed, it seemed that this lady was going to treat her as a prodigal son.

He Wenliu couldn't see Xia Zhijie's psychological changes, but he was a little surprised by Wanfu's sudden visit. This person usually doesn't stay close to the emperor, so why did he appear here.

Wan Fu went forward and saw that this year's new champion was here, and he couldn't help being suspicious, "Why is the champion here?"

He Wenliu smiled openly and said, "This Mr. Xia just now thought I was a new Jinshi this year, so he came here to make friends."

Xia Zhijie knew He Wenliu's true identity, and after hearing what he said, he immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty: "The grassroots have offended you just now, please forgive me."

"Those who don't know are innocent, get up." He Wenliu didn't pay attention to Xia Zhijie who suddenly came to make friends, but Wan Fu, who came to He Wenliu, looked Xia Zhijie from head to toe, thinking that he had to tell the emperor about it when he got back. .

When He Wenliu saw why Wanfu came to find him, he fell silent, so he asked, "Eunuch Wanfu, what do you want to do with me?"

"Oh, look at this slave's mind." Wanfu was asked by He Wenliu, and then he remembered his purpose of coming here, "Ms. Wenfei, the emperor is looking for you everywhere, you should go back quickly."

Seeing that the emperor was looking for him, He Wenliu didn't dare to delay. After nodding to Xia Zhijie, he hurriedly followed Wanfu and left.

After He Wenliu left, Xia Zhijie was still reminiscing about the scene when he met He Wenliu. Suddenly, a figure flashed in his mind, a figure from ten years ago. Xia Zhijie finally remembered who the concubine he met just now was with him ten years ago. A young man studying in the same academy.

The author has something to say: Because it is difficult to explain clearly in some places from the perspective of Xiao Gong, so there are "perspective dividing lines", but the "perspective dividing lines" will not appear too many times, if you are not used to it, you can tell me , I will modify the ps again: Jia Liang and Xia Zhiyuan who appeared in the article are all characters that appeared in the previous article. If you forget, you can review Chapter 12.
