I Persuade People With Reason - Chapter 116

“…Qing won the top spot before he reached the weak crown. It is indeed a rare young hero in the world. I have a beloved daughter. She is young and she is very suitable for Qing. It is a match made in heaven…”

As soon as consciousness came to the new world, a majestic voice with a smile came from his ears.

He was confused for a moment, and his eyes focused instantly, and with one glance, he swept across the magnificent and magnificent hall in front of him. The palace servants in the hall, the hundred officials standing with their hands bowed, standing behind him? Not far away, other Xinke Jinshi who were slightly restrained, and Mogami was looking at his emperor with an admiring smile on his face.

Is this… the legendary gift of marriage?

In an instant, Yuan Buwei realized what happened to him and found his identity.

His expression did not change, and suddenly he said: “Excuse me for being rude.”

“The princess has a noble status and is not worthy of the minister.”

While talking like this, I didn’t feel like I was playing a role-playing game, and I bowed gently to the emperor without paying attention, but I didn’t feel uncomfortable.

The emperor who was in high spirits was so mercilessly rejected, and he frowned at once. His originally smiling face turned gloomy, and his gaze towards Yuan Buwen gradually became cold, making the atmosphere in the hall instantly depressing.

After examining the original for a moment, the emperor asked in a deep voice: “Qing, what do you mean? When I asked you just now, you admitted that you haven’t married yet. Could it be that you are lying and pretending to deceive the king? Or?  … Do you despise my princess?”

As the so-called emperor is angry, a million corpses are buried.

The hall of the Golden Throne fell into a dead silence.

Around the hall, one after another, more or less, directly or covertly, looked at the unexpectedly young, handsome, and bold Tanhua Lang standing in the center of the hall. With regret, puzzlement, or schadenfreude.

Seeing that this Tanhua Lang was not too flustered, Shi Shiran still stood there, only lowered his eyes, and spit out three words calmly and calmly: “I have a disease.”

Emperor:”……?”

The ministers: “…??”

System 999, which was connected one step later: […? ? ? 】

Another eerie silence.

At this moment, whether it is a group of ministers who are sorry and puzzled, a fellow scholar who is gloating at misfortune, or the emperor who looks so gloomy and seems to be angry at any time, there is a moment of sluggishness, and the expressions on their faces inevitably freeze. , seems to suspect that he heard it wrong.

…This?, this? Isn’t that what they thought? No, no, if there is a hidden illness in that area, this tanhualang wouldn’t be so open to say it in public, maybe they think too much, but in fact, it’s just a congenital deficiency and a loss of vitality?

Although they kept looking for reasons in their hearts, everyone’s thoughts inevitably drifted in an unspeakable direction, and the eyes that looked at the original were filled with subtle weirdness and self-conceited scrutiny.

No one suspects that he dares to deliberately make up lies in front of the emperor, just to avoid marrying the princess.

First, the kind of disease that everyone imagines is a fatal blow to a man’s dignity. Even if there is such a thing, it must be concealed, and who would deliberately frame himself like this? Both, marrying a princess is not a bad thing.

In the previous dynasty, concubines were not allowed to participate in politics, so that the emperor’s daughter was worried about getting married; this dynasty did not have this rule. Therefore, not only is marrying a princess no longer a dangerous way, but it has become a shortcut to climb up.

Especially for this?

The princess was from a noble background, and it was a low priority to be willing to bow down and marry. How could he despise the princess and refuse to marry even if he made up lies and slandered himself?

What’s more, the princess mentioned by the emperor is the princess Yuhua, the first empress. She was born without her mother, her status is honorable, and she has been favored by the emperor since childhood. The famous gentle, pure and kind-hearted person is really the best choice for a wife.

A few days ago, there was news in Beijing that the emperor was going to choose a concubine for Princess Yuhua, and many aristocratic families were moved and carefully prepared. No one expected that this incident would end in such a dramatic way—this was to set the ranking for the new scholars, but the emperor suddenly got up and came to the Golden Palace to catch his son-in-law and selected the one just named. Tanhualang is the concubine.

What is even more unexpected is that this Tanhua Lang actually had the courage to refuse the marriage in front of the emperor, and also gave a reason that people could not object to.

In the strange silence in the hall, Yuan Buwei quickly received all the memories of this body, and realized his current identity – surname Xie, first name Yuan, word Zhishui, only nineteen years old, really? • Single and unmarried.

Regarding the last point, I should not be able to breathe a sigh of relief. Playing the role of someone else’s husband or father was something he couldn’t accept.

This elderly, late-married young man came from a poor and scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River. ? Intention to marry the most favored Princess Yuhua.

Everyone thought that the emperor was appreciating Tanhua’s talent and appearance, so he decided to recruit him as his son-in-law. After meeting him several times in a row, he developed a secret affection for this beautiful girl with noble temperament, but he did not dare to reveal his identity.

Just yesterday, Princess Yuhua took the initiative to find Xie Yuan, confessed her true identity, and boldly took the initiative to confess, and shyly told him that she had privately revealed her thoughts to the emperor, and the emperor could not stand her. I begged and promised to inspect Xie Yuan on the Golden Palace, and if he was really talented, he would marry the two of them.

And now this has all come true.

The only son of a desolate scholar, who has been studying hard for many years, has been able to get the best of both worlds, and there are two lovers who love each other. The gentle and beautiful princess bows down and gets married.

However, this “winner in life” accidentally caught a glimpse of a fragment from the tide of fate at his most glorious moment. Immediately afterwards, he was like a hare disturbed by the breath of a beast, fled in a panic, abandoned everything he had, and let the outsider who was not originally coming to take over the destiny that belonged to him.

——It seems that all these enviable encounters are the worst nightmare that Xie Yuan can’t avoid.

“…From this point of view, I seem to have separated a pair of lovers as soon as I came here.” It wasn’t because of a “tsk” in his consciousness, and he didn’t have any guilty conscience or guilt.

Not to mention? It can be seen from Xie Yuan’s operation of throwing his body and running away? There must be something tricky in it. Even if everything is really like this, he can’t sacrifice himself for the sake of fulfilling the princess – who makes the present Is this body for his use? The person with the heart? It was Xie Yuan who ran away, not him.

Well, that’s right, that’s it?… I didn’t understand everything clearly, and stood there with a calm expression.

Eyes from all directions fell on him.

The emperor’s expression was particularly complicated. The gloom had not yet dissipated, and he was a little more surprised.

He fixedly stared at him, as if he wanted to see through the heart of this tanhualang. And Yuan Buwei had a magnanimous face, as if it was not him who was talking nonsense.

After the silence, the emperor sighed in shock and sorrow, and went down the stairs: “How could there be such a thing?… God is jealous of talents!”

“Xue Quan!” He called out the name of the great **** standing beside him, “After the talent show is over, remember to send an imperial physician with excellent medical skills to give Tanhua diagnosis and treatment. Such a handsome man has chronic illnesses, how can I Can you turn a blind eye and let Da Xia lose someone? Talent!”

As for marrying the princess, he didn’t mention it directly.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became relaxed, and all the civil and military officials, who were relieved, bowed down in unison, calling them Shengming.

I didn’t even realize that there were a few young jinshi with red eyes. I don’t know if it was because of their excellent acting skills, or if they were really moved by the emperor’s behavior of a virtuous corporal.

With the sound of the whip, the emperor withdrew from the court, and the tense atmosphere in the hall was completely dissipated. According to the procedure, the routine should be followed by the routine of Xinke Jinshi Royal Street boasting.

This is also the most glorious moment of many readers’ lives.

In the sound of ritual music, all the scholars who had changed their clothes poured out of the hall in unison, especially the red tripod armor that attracted the most attention. Of course, most eyes were envious.

Although I have changed a lot of identities and traveled among the dynasties when I was in the Louvre Realm, I really haven’t passed the imperial examinations and been an official… Well, this is a brand new version that he has never played.

For the first time, Yuan Buwei, who was wearing this color, couldn’t help but reached out and touched his red sleeves, with a bit of novelty, and the whole person’s state was very light.

The others looked at this tanhua who didn’t know what to do, and all shook their heads secretly and quietly moved away from him.

At this moment, the whole capital city is very lively.

The triennial talent promotion ceremony is the biggest event in the whole summer. On the ten-mile imperial street, the people cheered and threw fruit and flowers.

These people, who are good at discovering beauty, soon turned their attention to the youngest Tanhua.

[I saw that this young Tanhua looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old. He was tall and straight, with a very good appearance, and his whole body was even more revealing? A calm and unpretentious demeanor…]

——Of course, there are so many words that people can’t think of, these are all thoughtful narrations by System 999.

Don’t say it, when it used a mechanical voice to read such a paragraph in Yuanbuwei’s ear, it almost made Yuanbuwei think that he was back in the previous world, what large event was he participating in, and the host? Reciting the lines.

“???” Originally, a string of question marks appeared above his head.

…How come this system has become skinned unknowingly? Could it be someone? Broke it?

And although the people don’t understand so many words, they also think that this Tanhualang can’t say it is beautiful.

Immediately, the cheers in the aisle grew louder, and countless things fell towards him like raindrops, and he lightly avoided them one by one, and his body was still sitting firmly on the horse.

Under the gazes of an unknown number of people, I didn’t feel anything suddenly, but noticed that a special gaze fell on him. Just because this look is completely different from other people’s eyes, it contains a strong malice.

He raised his head and followed that gaze.

In a restaurant on the side of the road, there is a girl standing by the window. She is dressed in brocade, like a light cloud, with crescent eyebrows, almond eyes and peach cheeks. .

The girl lowered her head and stared at Yuan Buwei below, her beautiful face almost frozen, as if she didn’t expect him to suddenly look up, and the eyes of the two suddenly collided.

She was stunned for a while, then bit her lips lightly, those eyes like autumn water lit up a little bit, revealing a smile like flowers, so many men who accidentally bumped into this scene couldn’t help being dazzled, and the brilliance in their eyes continued. .

——This? It is that Princess Yuhua!

A name flashed through his mind in a flash, and it was because he recognized the girl’s identity, because this Princess Yuhua was too deep in the original body’s memory.

It seems that this Princess Yuhua has been waiting on the imperial street early, and she still doesn’t know what happened in the palace, thinking that everything is guaranteed, right? With the body of a thousand pieces of gold, you can still be so humble, if it was the previous Xie Yuan, I would have been so moved… However, with such a smile on his face, so much anticipation and so much joy, the malice in his heart was overflowing. Come out…Say, what about the two lovers?

I didn’t want to look at it? Looking at it, the curvature of the lips suddenly turned up: “…This world is a little interesting.”

·

In the evening, Qionglin Garden was brightly lit. The emperor held a banquet in Qionglin Garden and invited a group of new scholars to the banquet.

The atmosphere in the garden was extremely lively, and the banquets were staggered, everyone raised their glasses and exchanged glasses, and some people spread paper and ink, and painted on the spot; No. 2, he has been sitting in the seat reservedly, from time to time he will glance up from the corner of his eyes, waiting for the emperor to speak?

It’s a pity that the emperor didn’t give the response that they expected, but the symbolic attendance took a cut. After staying for less than a quarter of an hour, he got up and left, and even took most of the ministers away, the scene suddenly become deserted.

Those stories that have been circulated in the past, such as the champion composing poems, the emperor bestowing wine, or the outstanding performance of a new scholar with a mediocre rank at the Qionglin Banquet, were treated differently by the emperor and important ministers… all of them are not?

The atmosphere took a sharp turn for the worse. One moment there was continuous laughter and laughter, and the next moment it stopped suddenly. Jinshi with a good mentality only paused for a while and continued to write poems and paintings.

There were also people with undisguised expressions of regret, and there were untraceable sighs everywhere.

Sitting at the top of the champion and second place on the list, Yuan Bu, who had been drinking and eating vegetables while enjoying himself, immediately noticed that two glaring gazes were shot at him. shot through him.

After eating the last piece of rose cake on the plate, it was not for this reason that he turned his head to look up at the first two people one by one, and said with a smile, “This rose cake is good, the two of you won’t try it. taste it?”

He was staring at him with resentment. The first and second place winners, who were originally not, were slightly startled when they heard the words. In the eyes of the original, who were not sincere, they didn’t know what to say.

…Your Majesty is gone, are you still thinking about snacks?

No, maybe it would be a good thing for Tanhua if His Majesty left? Otherwise, he is ignorant of the virtue of admiration. If he angers His Majesty again, can he save his life or talk about it?

In my heart, I suspect that the reason why Your Majesty left the table early is because I lost face by being rejected by the palace today. Is this why? I am in the mood to continue hosting the Qionglin Banquet. Both the champion and second place who have lost the chance to perform are not very good to the original? Yes ? Opinions, but they are not bad at raising qi, they won’t show it directly, like people in the market?

The nearly forty-year-old champion with a stable personality just raised his glass and smiled at Yuan Buwei, and politely declined: “I don’t like sweets here, I’m afraid it doesn’t suit Brother Xie’s taste.”

The younger and more impulsive second-ranking person spoke a lot more sharply, but just smiled slightly: “This man is the same year in the palace, and who can match the taste of Brother Xie?”

After saying this meaningful sentence, he smiled again, and said in a tone that was indistinguishable from praise and criticism: “I think at today’s banquet, only Brother Xie stayed still from beginning to end, and only wanted to enjoy the cakes. As expected of His Majesty’s own mouth? The young talent praised by him is quite calm.”

“It seems that neither of you like this rose cake?” Yuan Buwei didn’t seem to hear the thorn in his words at all. He just came to this conclusion on his own, then shook his head and let out a pity. Sigh.

Then, he taught earnestly:

“Your Majesty’s banquet, how can I live up to it!”

Before the two of them could react, he had leaned forward slightly and stretched out his hands at the same time, and two dishes of dim sum came to him at once.

In the sight of the other two, who were inexplicably surprised, the curvature of the lips raised little by little.

“After all, the number of copies is the same year, so don’t thank me.”

Two?: “???”

……who am I? where am I? what happened?

It took them a long time to react and straighten out the logical relationship. According to this Tanhua Lang, His Majesty’s banquet should not be let down, but they don’t like to eat cakes, so this Tanhua Lang reluctantly solved it for them all? ? ? Don’t you need to thank him? ? ?

The old and prudent champion’s smile stiffened for a moment, and the slightly sharper No. 2 had already flattened the corners of his lips.

I don’t think it’s because I really like dessert, I just think it’s the other party deliberately looking for a raft to provoke him for second place, and his face is deformed with anger.

But this? The gas can’t be released, and it’s even more angry.

He held it for a while, finally snorted coldly, got up and left. Zhuang Scholar, who was filled with question marks by the original reason, gave an embarrassed smile, and also made an excuse? He left his seat and went to communicate with other Jin Scholar.

The second place in the top spot left one after another, but he suddenly became empty around him, making the already conspicuous him even more conspicuous.

However, he obviously didn’t care about this. Perhaps the reduction in the number of rose cakes on the plate could affect his mind more.

“Zhi Shui, you really surprised me today. First of all, the palace refused His Majesty’s offer of marriage, and even the famous Shengjing’s No. 1 beauty? Princess Yuhua had the heart to surrender, and now you have run away from the number one spot and second place… Tsk tsk, what did I do in the past? Haven’t you found out that you have this kind of talent?”

A young jinshi in his early twenties came over with a wine glass and made a joke in a light tone.

His tone was very close, and while he was talking, he sat beside Yuan Buwei unceremoniously, and looked up and down the friend in front of him with curious and playful eyes.

Relying on the memory of the original body, why not the same? Recognizing this person at a glance, he chuckled and replied: “Ziping said that he laughed. The princess is indeed not my good match, is this true? Love. As for those two dear brothers, I have the good intentions to solve their troubles, what’s the point of getting out of anger? I think I’m tired of sitting here, go and relax.”

The tone of his words is innocent and sincere, and unless he has witnessed the whole process with his own eyes, he will most likely believe his words.

“Ha!” Xiao Yuan let out a laugh from his throat, “Zhishui, you are really…” He wanted to speak directly and said, “Narrow”, but when he saw someone nearby looking over here, he didn’t say anything. “Yes? Say it again?”, just shook his head slightly, and clearly wrote “I don’t believe your nonsense” in his eyes.

The two laughed for a while, Xiao Yuan suddenly looked around, put down the wine glass, and moved closer to Chao Yuan Buwei.

I didn’t realize that he should have something to talk about.

Sure enough, Xiao Yuan lowered his voice and whispered, “I’m afraid this marriage won’t be that simple.”

“What?” Yuan Buwei looked at him with a little surprise. But I didn’t think that the other party would have such a keen mind.

Xiao Yuan thought he didn’t believe it, and lowered his voice a bit, and explained, “I’m just guessing about this. My elder brother used to be a companion in the palace, and I vaguely heard from him? A piece of news that His Majesty loves very much. Princess Yuhua, did you say it personally? Promise that if you choose a concubine in the future, Princess Yuhua will have to nod her head first, and will never force her.”

“Although there were not many people who knew about it at the time and didn’t appeal to the public, I don’t think Your Majesty would go back without any reason, unless it can bring greater benefits to Da Xia…” If you say that it is Jiang Yuhua The princess married to the enemy country? It’s okay to marry a relative, or marry a family of important officials to show her favor. Even if your Majesty loves his talents, he will not violate the agreement and force Princess Yuhua. “

Yuan Buwei asked at the same time: “You mean, actually? Princess Yuhua first fell in love with me?”

The relationship between Yuanshen and Princess Yuhua is extremely concealed and has never been disclosed to Xiao Yuan before.

Xiao Yuan nodded: “That’s probably the case. That’s why I want to remind you to be careful.”

“Could it be that Princess Yuhua would still be angry and take revenge? Didn’t she say it all? Is she gentle, kind, considerate and understanding?”

“Princess Yuhua naturally won’t, but Your Majesty can’t guarantee it. If this is just His Majesty’s whim, it’s fine if you refuse. It hurts Princess Yuhua’s heart, doesn’t it annoy His Majesty? If you hurt your body, how could Your Majesty not be angry?”

And if the emperor is dissatisfied with someone, even if he wants to show a tolerant and generous monarch, there are too many other means. Even just a little hint, some courtiers are willing to serve.

From Xiao Yuan’s words, it can be heard that his impression of Princess Yuhua is still very good, but he is only worried that the emperor’s love for his daughter is not bad for Yuan.

Therefore, he sincerely suggested: “If you believe me, before you enter the Hanlin Academy, you might as well take a leave of absence and return to your hometown, and then return to Beijing after things calm down.”

It was not for nodding slightly.

In fact, this Xiao Yuan, Xiao Ziping, came from an aristocratic family in Beijing. He was a friend who only met when he came to Beijing to take the exam. We have only known each other for two months, and our friendship is not very deep. Others have avoided him. When he is like a tiger, he is willing to speak out to remind him, which is already considered to be extremely loyal.

He didn’t say anything about Xiao Yuan’s suggestion, but instead asked, “How much do you know about His Majesty?”

Xiao Yuan didn’t know that at first, so he then reacted: “Do you want to start from your Majesty’s place and do what you like? This is a good idea.”

He poured a glass of wine, searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, and then said, “I have it, Your Majesty is good!”

“When His Majesty was still the Crown Prince, he was very fond of Taoism. He also wanted to seek immortals to visit Tao… Later, other princes set up a situation based on this, which made His Majesty fall into a big trouble, and the Crown Prince was almost abolished… After that, His Majesty stopped talking about Taoism, and destroyed all the Taoist scriptures in front of the late emperor to show his determination…” He said intermittently, “However, after ascending the throne, His Majesty sent someone ?The Taoist temples in the world have been repaired one after another.”

Xiao Yuan did not continue to talk, but changed the topic: “I don’t know if the water can be mastered? If you can do what you like, maybe you can turn a disaster into a blessing.”

“I almost forgot, this matter is not clear. It’s better not to leave any traces. Taking the initiative to behave in front of Your Majesty is too deliberate, and it is easy to be denounced as a traitor by the ministers.” He came up with an idea in a blink of an eye. He said enthusiastically, “…I think the Taoist view in the capital is good. From time to time, His Majesty will invite the master to enter the palace and exchange Taoism. You can find an opportunity to get acquainted with the master of the real person Chixiao? It is very good to take the initiative to mention you before your Majesty.”

After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, seeing that Yuan didn’t do anything, did he have a response, he asked in puzzlement, “What’s wrong with Zhishui?”

“…No, not really?” Yuan Buwei was silent for a moment, “I was just thinking about another question.”

… This? A series of operations is not complicated, but someone who can come up with it in a blink of an eye? It is not simple. The whole process can be written into a book? #點佞上手手游#.

——Just, why are you so skilled?

At this moment, I wasn’t very suspicious. If he hadn’t arrived, in the course of the predetermined destiny, this young man with an active face to advise him would not be the biggest in the future in Daxia. Traitor, right?
