Great Blue Night Watchman

Mu Renqing smiled: "It seems that the Zhenbei Prince's Palace is having double happiness today. I wonder, Brother Nanchu, which princess of the Prince's Palace are you looking for?"

"Second Princess Hongying!"

Everyone was shocked, and the prince suddenly raised his head...

The two men and horses are seeking the same princess, this...

Mu Renqing's eyes narrowed slightly: "I don't know which palace Brother Nanchu is asking for."

Which palace?

One sentence hit the weak point of the Nanchu layman, and the Nanchu layman was speechless for a moment.

Mu Renqing was begging for marriage on behalf of the prince of Hejian Palace, but he was begging for marriage on behalf of Dacang, a border military general. This was not on the same level at all. Although he had the handle in Lin Su's hands and did not dare not to speak, he felt that There's no way we can win...

Lin Su stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Ci Zong is the brother of the Dai family who proposed to the Second Princess for marriage."

"Young master is..." The prince's eyes fell on Lin Su's face. Lin Su followed the Nanchu layman into the palace and did not reveal his identity from the beginning to the end. Everyone took it for granted that he was just a disciple of the Nanchu layman, but now, he spoke.

Lin Su bowed and said, "I am Lin Su, from Da Cang Kingdom. My brother is General Lin Zheng of Blood Rain Pass."

The prince's expression changed.

Lin Zheng!

He knew this name, it could even be said to be a thorn in his heart.

The daughter left home for three years and spent three years with this wild man. Although she said she had not lost her virginity, it was still a huge stain. If he still had the military power, he would even want to go to Xueyuguan to kill this bastard. After twisting the head off, I never thought that this bastard would dare to send someone to propose marriage!

Several great scholars from the Hejian Palace laughed at the same time: "A small border general is worthy of marrying a princess? Don't you think this is a foolish dream?"

Lin Su smiled faintly: "Holy words, the relationship between a lady and a gentleman is to greet each other with courtesy, respect each other as guests, care for each other, love each other, and eventually become a good couple. Where is the limit of status? How can we talk about being worthy or unworthy?"

He spoke the Word.

Reasonable and well-founded.

Several great scholars were stunned at the same time. One of them thought for a moment and said: "Our country has its own rules. It has been a millennium practice that the daughter of a prince should not enter a poor family."

Lin Sudao: "It has been the practice of Nanyang for thousands of years. It is inconvenient for students to argue... However, how can you judge that my Lin family must be from a poor family?"

"Haha..." The great scholar smiled faintly: "The standard of a poor family varies from person to person. In your opinion, having three meals a day and sleeping in a bed at night may not be called a 'poor family'; but in the eyes of the Hejian Palace, it is not a poor family." The holy way is all from humble families!”

If you don’t enter the holy way, you will all live in a poor family!

This is the contempt that people in the literary world have for martial arts.

Although this is not included in the classics, it is also a conventional standard.

Why can't Jiang Men lift his head? It is because of this standard that no matter how prominent your martial arts is, no matter how powerful your military exploits are, no matter how glorious you are as a king or marquis, you are not following the holy path. Therefore, if you are not worthy of the upper class, you are just a person. "tramp living by begging".

This great scholar is obviously smart.

He only knew that the person chosen by the other party for the princess was a military general, and he knew nothing about his life background. In this case, it was stupid to blindly use wealth to challenge others, so he chose a more impeccable breakthrough, that is Make a fuss about the identity of the opponent's general.

It is customary for a general to come from a general family. If a general does not enter the holy way, he is from a poor family!

This is the shackles placed on the Lin family. If you have the ability, you can overthrow eight generations of your ancestors. Otherwise, you will never be able to escape from the shackles of a poor family.

Lin Su nodded lightly: "If you don't enter the holy way, you are a poor family. It's really a lofty theory... So the question is, has the Hejian Prince's Palace ever entered the holy way? Is it considered a poor family?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was shocked.

The Crown Prince of Hejian stood up and said, "Bold maniac, dare to insult our Prince of Hejian..."

His voice suddenly stopped, because even though he was a bit bold, he saw that something was wrong with the situation. He was asking for marriage today, and he was not in the Hejian Palace...

Lin Su said lightly: "The prince seems to be used to bossing around, and he forgot where he was for a moment. Lin just asked a question. If you can answer it, you can choose not to answer it. If you can't answer or it's inconvenient to answer, you can choose not to answer. And Why be angry?"

The prince became even more angry, but Elder Mu glanced at him and stopped him.

A great scholar on the left took over: "Young Master must not know much about the Hejian Palace, right?"

"yes!"

The great scholar smiled and said: "Hejian Palace, the thirty-first scholar in the past hundred years, does the young master think he has entered the holy way?"

Lin Su narrowed his eyes: "If you pass the imperial examination, is it considered that you have entered the holy way?"

"Of course, if it is not a home with a prosperous literary style and a place where the holy way is nurtured, how can there be so many scholars and scholars?"

Lin Su smiled: "Then my Lin family can be regarded as entering the holy way!"

Everyone was shocked at the same time.

The Lin family is a general, but can it also produce Jinshi? Is that fraud?

The great scholar fixed his gaze on his face, half-smiling but not smiling: "Did the ancestors of the Lin family also produce Jinshi?"

"Not our ancestors, but now!" Lin Su said: "My second brother and I are both Jinshi."

The whole audience was shocked at the same time. Except for one person, this person was naturally the layman of Nanchu. He was the only one in the audience who knew Lin Su’s real background.

Several great scholars looked at each other in shock, digesting the shock in their hearts. The young man in front of them, who was only twenty years old, was actually a Jinshi? And he also has a second brother who is also a Jinshi?

Nanyang is a place where the literary style flourishes. A family has accumulated it for decades or hundreds of years. It is not uncommon for a family to have several Jinshi. However, this is accumulated from generation to generation. It is rare for one or two scholars in one generation to be successful. The situation of two Jinshi being in the same room.

Even in the Hejian Palace, which is famous for its literary style, there are currently only three Jinshi alive in this generation.

One of the great scholars forced a smile: "Double Jinshi in one discipline is not bad, but do you think two Jinshi are comparable to the thirty Jinshi in the Hejian Palace?"

"There is a difference between Jinshi and Jinshi!" Lin Su said: "But I don't know how many holy Jinshi are there among the 31 people in your house?"

"There are also two Holy Scholars!" Several great scholars responded proudly.

Lin Su said: "What a coincidence, the Lin family also has two holy scholars!"

Everyone was shocked at the same time. The two brothers were actually Holy Scholars? How can this be? There are two Jinshis from the same school and one generation, but they are both Holy Jinshis? There is no such family in the entire ancient Nanyang Kingdom!

As Lin Su said, there is a difference between a Jinshi and a Jinshi. The Holy Jinshi is the most valuable one. Once you become a Holy Jinshi, you will be recognized by the temple as the home of the Holy Way!

This is the end of the theory of poor family.

The Lin family has two holy scholars, so it is not a poor family! It is an extremely mysterious and miraculous family, because this family can cultivate two holy scholars in one generation!

This little-known family, which had no comparison with the royal family, instantly acquired a magical aura.

The few great scholars were a little confused. They were originally tasked with suppressing the Lin family. How come their gut-wrenching verbal attacks failed to add any glory to the palace, but instead made the other family more powerful?

Which part is wrong?

They couldn't find what the problem was, and the Crown Prince was even more confused. He couldn't hold it back for a moment and scolded the person in front of him. Why did he suddenly feel that he was the worst performer in the audience?

Even the King of Zhenbei didn't have a good look on him.

Yes, the King of Zhenbei also suddenly had a strange feeling. He liked Lin Su no matter how he looked at her. He was neither humble nor arrogant, reasonable and restrained. On such an occasion, he actually took over the whole place with his eloquent talk.

Is this the demeanor of a young man?

This is the Lin Zheng... brother who makes him hate him so much?

How much more elegant is Lin Zheng? If Lin Zheng is like him, he feels that he has an understanding of his daughter...

Outside Jingxian Pavilion, there was a maid at the window. Her face was bright red at the moment. She was not a maid, she just borrowed the maid's clothes. She was Miss Hongye. She heard the familiar voice through the window, talking eloquently. , her face looked like this for some reason.

"Ahem..." Elder Mu, who had not spoken for a long time, coughed lightly, breaking the deathly silence.

Everyone's eyes gathered together, Elder Mu showed a smile on his face, and spoke: "Guan Guan Suijiu, in the River Continent, a fair lady, a gentleman is very good... The saint is sincere and will not be deceived by me. The name of the two princesses is spread in the world, and the two Fang Qiuzhi, I and Brother Nan Chu are divided into two trustees, and it is not easy to argue. How about asking the prince's brother to come to the palace in person to discuss talents with the prince for the prince's selection? "

The eyes of everyone in the Hejian Prince's Palace were brightened at the same time.

Yes, what did they do just now?

Why bother with this young prodigy?

It’s not like he’s asking for marriage!

He is asking for marriage on behalf of his brother!

No matter how perfect he behaves, what's the point? His brother is a big bastard. If I don't get blinded when this situation comes, I will eat all the wine glasses in front of me...

"What Elder Mu said is true!" A great scholar said.

Another great scholar took over: "Yes, sincerity can only be seen when great heroes come from across the border!"

"The two debated their talents face to face, and the prince chose the best. It is a good story!"

Nanchu layman raised his eyes and met Lin Su's eyes. There was also helplessness in his eyes. Mr. Lin, it's not that I won't help you. In this situation, I really can't help. Your brother didn't come over. Come on. When asking for a marriage, look at it three hundred years in advance and five hundred years in the future. Is there such a weird thing...

Lin Su frowned and said: "What Elder Mu said is indeed reasonable. However, my brother was ordered by the emperor to be stationed at the border. It is difficult to leave the border for a while. His talk about Taoism and eloquence may not be possible for a while... I have a suggestion. I don't know, Your Majesty. Would you like to hear it?"

King Zhenbei nodded: "Master, please speak!"

Lin Sudao: "The princess's marriage is related to her life. We cannot allow the princess to make her own decision!"

County owner self-determination?

Several great scholars changed their colors at the same time. They planned to get married to the Zhenbei Palace, and naturally they knew something about the princess. Although the Zhenbei Palace tried its best to conceal the princess's reputation as a deviant, some rumors finally spread to the outside world. Some people said Well, the princess has a lifelong private engagement with Da Cang, a military general. Now it seems that it is very possible! If the princess decides on her own, she will definitely choose the Lin family.

A great scholar immediately objected: "Shengyun, obeying your father at home involves important matters in your life. It is the prince who decides it with a single word. How can your children make their own decision? Where do you put filial piety?"

Lin Sudao: "Mr.'s understanding of filial piety is biased! The Holy Word: Those who love their relatives do not dare to be evil; those who respect their relatives do not dare to be arrogant to others. Love and respect are devoted to relatives... Respect is filial piety, kindness is love, It is natural for children to respect their parents, and it is also human ethics for parents to love their children. The prince established the world with benevolence and governed the family with love. If it involves the life-long affairs of his daughter, what is wrong with asking his daughter? How can it be unfilial to ask his daughter's opinion before deciding her life? On the contrary, respect Complementing each other with kindness is true great filial piety, great virtue and great love!”

When he said these words, the whole place fell silent.

He interpreted the sage's "Book of Filial Piety" penetratingly.

How to argue?

If you insist that the prince not ask for his daughter's opinion, isn't it putting the prince into an unkind, unloving and unkind situation?

Cold sweat broke out on the backs of several great scholars. Only now did they truly realize how troublesome the young man in front of them was.

King Zhenbei frowned. Why did he suddenly feel that the conflict had been transferred to him?

Everyone was waiting for him to express his position. He found it difficult. If he went ahead and married his daughter to the Prince of Hejian, would he have fallen into the trap of Lin Su? Does it mean that he is unkind, loving, unvirtuous, and unworthy of a father? …

Nanchu layman gently put down the wine glass in his hand, making a soft sound, breaking the dead silence again.

Nanchu layman spoke: "Elder Mu also said just now that a gentle lady is a good gentleman and a good story. Since it is a good story, there is no need to be so close to each other. I have an idea, and I will mention it rashly for you all. How to decide?"

King Zhenbei was relieved: "Ci Zong, please tell me."

A layman from Southern Chu said: "Love stories are good stories, and good stories in the literary world are also good stories. Why don't you invite Mr. Lin and other great scholars to make friends with poems and discuss Tao with literature? If Mr. Lin wins, the prince will fulfill Mr. Lin's wish, and a journey of thousands of miles will be accomplished." It's a good match. If Mr. Lin loses, he will be punished with three drinks of wine and go away. This is also a good story in the literary world, how about it?"

The marriage-seeking meeting turned into a literary meeting?

Make friends with poetry, and determine victory or defeat with writing?

This is exciting, almost everyone likes it!

Several great scholars were stunned at the same time. They raised their eyes and looked at their backbone, Elder Mu, sincerely expecting Elder Mu to nod. They lost the early argument, but now they are arguing with words, which gives them a chance to make a comeback. Who doesn't want to make a comeback? Moreover, since they rely on their profound knowledge of poetry, they will definitely be able to make a comeback!

Elder Mu was a little moved, but he was mature and prudent, how could he dare to express his position easily? He didn't know the literary background of the twenty-year-old young man in front of him. If the boat capsized in the gutter and he couldn't explain it to the King of Hejian, he, the top elder of the holy family of poets, would also have a stain on his head.

King Zhenbei was excited.

God is my witness, he is not willing to marry the King of Hejian, because he clearly knows what the King of Hejian is marrying him for, which is to slowly penetrate and annex some of the territory of the Zhenbei Palace.

But he didn't dare to resist. He was worried about angering the King of the River.

That's why he wanted to marry his daughter to the prince of Hejian, who had a bad reputation.

Now, Ci Zong came up with a good idea, let them compete, and winning or losing depends on their own abilities. If King Hejian fails to live up to expectations and loses, it will not be blamed on the Prince of Zhenbei, and there is no reason to retaliate against the king. North Palace.
