Li Feiheng was stunned for quite a while before he regained his senses. He looked at Zhao Yuannan in disbelief. For a moment, he had no idea what Zhao Jing was trying to do.
Within the pavilion, there were old, young, old, old, and young. There were some who had large bellies, others who were extremely thin, and all of them were men. A few of the younger ones, on the other hand, looked like scholars. However, the way they looked at others was always measured, and could not help but make people feel uncomfortable.
"What is he trying to do?" Li Zhiheng grabbed Zhao Yuannan, "Who are these people? "If there's an assassin among them …"
Zhao Yuannan laughed, "Young master has his own ideas. If there's anything wrong, young master will take responsibility for it himself! Sir Li, just relax, there's no need to meddle in this matter! " Finishing his words, Zhao Yuannan restrained his smile and quickly entered the room.
The door closed, and Li Yiheng's face darkened as he hesitated. The emperor and a bunch of old and young men were locked up. They didn't know what kind of game they were playing, but it was impossible to hide it from the Regent. At this point, Li Eheng glanced at his confidant, Qiongying, and whispered in her ear, "Go to the Regent's Mansion, and tell the truth!"
Joan was taken aback. "Your excellency? "This …"
"Speak the truth." Li Yiheng repeated.
"Yes sir!" Qiong Ying nodded and quickly left.
In fact, Li Yiheng also had his own plans. Zhao Jing was the ruler of the world, the emperor of Grand Xia. If they forced the emperor too hard, if there was a sudden movement in the world or the Regent's Estate acted first and took the initiative, the land of Da Xia's Rivers and Mountains Society would collapse under their hands. He, Li Yiheng, will become a sinner for all eternity, even his own descendants will be scolded to make up for it.
He, Li Yiheng, was only a commander of the imperial guards. In the end, he was just an eye that the Regent's Manor had planted in front of Zhao Jing. The weight of this eye was truly insignificant. Therefore, there was no need for Li Yiheng to send himself to the fire pit. Even if he did work for the Regent's Mansion, it would not be too drastic. There were some things that he wanted people to tell him truthfully, but there were some things that he could only turn a blind eye to! If he wanted to live for a long time, he would have to learn to be two-faced and three-faced. More importantly, he would have to choose the right person to stand on!
Li Yiheng stood guard outside the door, coldly speaking to the attendants beside him, "Order that no one is to be allowed to come close to this place, as long as there is anyone suspicious, it would be better to not cause trouble!"
Separated by a door, Wei Shuge smiled and nodded at Zhao Jing.
All the men on the table looked at Zhao Jing with disdain. If one looked closely at Zhao Jing, they would see that he was only twelve or thirteen years old. However, his tone and tone weren't small. One couldn't help but mock him in their heart.
Among them, the oldest laughed even more coldly, "A brat that has not even tasted milk dares to speak so arrogantly and invite us, the famous and promising people in the capital, to discuss the poetry contest? Do you know what you're capable of? Do you know what this poetry meet is? If you have the free time, you should go back and study more of the saint's books! "
Zhao Jing smiled. Although he was young, that didn't mean he didn't have a heart of his own! She calmly took a sip of her tea and looked at the old man who had just spoken. Then, she looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone must be thinking the same thing!"
Look at the disdain on their faces, it was obvious that they only thought of her as a wet behind the ears child. There were even a few people who impatiently stood up, unwilling to stay. It was as though staying a moment longer was a form of humiliation.
Wei Shuge stood guard at the door as she stared coldly at the two men approaching. "My family's young master has yet to tell you to leave. Who dares to leave?!"
"What is it? Why aren't you letting me go! Do you know who we are? A child with a mouth like his was quite bold! Do you believe that with all of us here, you won't be able to survive in the capital? " The old man's eyes were sharp and sharp, as if he wanted to devour Zhao Jing.
The cup in Zhao Jing's hand landed on the table with a bang. She looked coldly at the restless men. "Sit!" Her voice was not loud, but her tone was extremely serious. Her calm face revealed an imposing manner, even though she was not angry. Even if she didn't have the dragon robe, she, the son of heaven, who was used to sitting on the dragon throne, was still a bit bold.
Everyone was stunned for a moment as they stared fixedly at Zhao Jing.
"I know that you are all prestigious families in the capital, or the descendants of scholars and scholars, respected and respected by the world. Beneath the feet of the Son of Heaven, each and every one of them could be considered a top figure! "But I never thought that all of you were cowards, looking down on people." Zhao Jing laughed.
As his voice faded, the crowd burst into an uproar.
"How rude, how dare you speak such arrogant words. You are too presumptuous!" The old man was obviously angry.
Zhao Jing slowly stood up. "I don't have any other ailments. The only thing I can do is to fight to the death. I won't let you lose your face no matter how perverted you are!" Who are you people? I will naturally give you face. Is there any reason in the world for me to respect you for not being able to respect others? Sit down, everyone! "
No one seemed to be able to understand what she was saying. The one who stood was still standing, and the one who sat was still filled with disdain.
Especially the older man, he humphed lightly and said, "Do you think you alone dare to order us around? How old are you? How dare you make a ruckus here? Why don't you take a look at what you are! "When we have learned something, where will you find the time to crawl around?!"
"How dare you!" Zhao Yuannan snapped, "How dare you speak to my young master like that? "It's against you!"
Zhao Jing raised his hand, signaling Zhao Yuannan not to be rude. She frowned, looking slightly helpless, as if she was an old man. "You will soon know who I am!" I have invited everyone here today to notify everyone that I shall be the judge for this year's poetry contest. "
She said notice, not consultation.
"On what basis?" Everyone immediately stood up.
"I have something good in my hand!" Zhao Jing stood with his hands behind his back. "Does anyone want to listen?" Finishing her words, she looked coldly at the old man who had opposed the most intense of them all, "Old Sir Wang Si has many disciples, making him the person with the highest prestige in the capital. I'm sure you would like to hear a good story that I'm holding in my hands, right?"
Zhao Yuannan lifted the curtain of the cabinet, "Sir, please!"
"You think I would believe you?" Wang Si was a stubborn person. He relied on his virtue and prestige to not place anyone in his eyes.
The Wang Clan was the most prestigious family in the capital, and had already been famous since the previous dynasty. However, the Wang Clan had an unwritten rule that children of the Wang Clan were not allowed to become officials. Therefore, no matter how prestigious the children of the Wang Clan were, the Imperial Court would not be able to invite them. The Wang Clan only belonged to the common people, not the Imperial Court. They did not participate in any political parties, nor did they participate in any political negotiations!
Wang Si snorted twice, "I've lived for most of my life. I'd really like to see a brat like you, who's still wet behind the ears. What else can you do to me?"
"Mr. Wang?" Someone shouted, "Be careful!"
Wang Si, on the other hand, was not afraid at all. "He dared to touch me today, so I admire him!" As he spoke, he entered the Cabinet without fear.
Zhao Yuannan lowered the curtain and stood guard at the door of the cabinet. None of the people in front of him were easy to deal with, but they all had one thing in common: their eyes were above their heads! Therefore, dealing with these people was actually very easy. As long as you were a level higher than them, the so-called 'faction' would fall in the face of the wind!
Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan looked at each other, and Zhao Yuannan took out a stack of letters from his chest pocket. He didn't say much and only passed a letter to each of them. "Everyone, look carefully. If you are satisfied …" The brazier was there. If not, we will work even harder! What do you think? Of course, I hope all of you will keep the contents of this letter to yourselves.
Hearing those words, everyone present looked at each other and opened the letters in their hands.
After Wang Si followed Zhao Jing into the Cabinet, the old man's face was filled with disdain. After entering the cabinet, Wang Si stood with his hands behind his back, looking away from Zhao Jing with disdain.
"I heard that Mr. Wise, the teacher who was known as one of the most outstanding figures in the world, was called Mr. Hou Wen!" Zhao Jing stared at him coldly.
Wang Si snorted, "A brat with a loose tongue, he doesn't have the qualifications to mention my teacher!"
"Mr. Hou Wen has never taught you to be so arrogant, right?" Zhao Jing stood with his hands behind his back.
"Bastard!" Wang Si was about to speak, but his eyes suddenly lit up as he stared at the item in Zhao Jing's hand with aghast. "You … where did you steal this from?" Who exactly are you? "
At some point, a jade pendant had appeared in Zhao Jing's hand. "Teacher is asking about this?" It's exactly the same as your young master, right? " She smiled as she played with the jade pendant in her hand, then turned to the window and sat down, "However, the things in this world are not identical even if they are twins. The jade pendant is made by a craftsman, and there are some differences, but they are different.
Wang Si's expression slightly darkened. "What do you want to say?" I tell you, even if you threaten me with my son, I will not compromise! As a prideful person, he was unwilling to fall to the north wind! Even if the wind is fierce, what can you do to me? "
"Your son is so well-behaved that even if I didn't know him well, it wouldn't matter if I took him. Moreover, according to the Wang Clan's ancestral rules, the descendants of the Wang Clan are not allowed to become officials, so why should I make things difficult for him? " Zhao Jing placed the jade pendant on the table. "Mister, why don't you take a careful look at it?"
Hearing this, Wang Si picked up the jade pendant from the table and looked at it, his face suddenly becoming tense. "This is …"
"You see it?" Zhao Jing laughed. "As long as you can see it, it'll be easy. It'll save me the trouble of wasting my breath!"
"What is your relationship with him?" Wang Sian asked, "Who the hell do you know how to do that?"
Zhao Jing rubbed his forehead. "Who I am is not important. As for this relationship …" My relationship with him is complicated, and I am both a teacher and a friend. He actually wants to have a match with me master and disciple, I also respect him as my master, but I have always only called him mister! The words were a bit awkward, but I've already explained everything that needs to be said. It's just that I don't know if this old mister will understand? "
Wang Si sucked in a breath of cold air and tightly gripped the jade pendant in his hand. He stared at Zhao Jing in disbelief.
The youth, Zhao Jing, had an imposing air of valor between his brows. His movements were filled with the bearing of wealth. Hearing Zhao Jing's tone, Wang Si's expression became extremely unsightly. He couldn't help but look at the jade pendant in his hand, and his breathing became a bit ragged.
"You are …" In the next moment, Wang Si hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
Before he could say anything, he was stopped by Zhao Jing. Zhao Jing raised his hand. "No need!" The younger generation cannot afford it, either. They are afraid that their lives will be forfeit! "
"May I ask what your surname is?" After all, he hadn't heard it with his own ears.
"My surname is Zhao!" Zhao Jing faintly smiled. "I was born like this!"
Wang Si's face suddenly turned white, and the hand that was holding the jade pendant slightly trembled.
Zhao Jing was still smiling. "Sir, can you help me keep this a secret?" Just think of it as me being willful and fun! "
Wang Si frowned slightly, appearing hesitant. "Young Master should put in all his effort in handling this matter, but …"
Zhao Jing was startled. Wang Si seemed to have something that was difficult to explain? Could it be that there was some sort of secret behind the poetry meet this time?! Could this have something to do with the Fanghua Temple?!
