Chapter 137 Conditions, Jiang Rong
After the palace examination, people who wanted to become Qianqiu's disciples flocked like mushrooms after rain, and the study received a large number of visiting cards every day.
Let’s not mention Chi Moyan, he is Qianqiu’s student.
Although Song Heng did not become a disciple, he admitted that the articles of his predecessor Qianqiu benefited him a lot.
Under such circumstances, Qianqiu became famous.
Shen Wenyuan was also tempted.
He never expected that this great scholar could be so capable. He was worried about how to take the imperial examination.
So he spared no expense to poach Qianqiu.
And Chi Moyan's success in the second place...
It also attracted Lin Yide's attention.
Last month, the Minister of Rites retired and returned home, and he just became the new Minister of Rites. He didn't expect that the illegitimate son who was beaten and thrown out by him before would actually... have such ability?
…
Jiang Rong and his party hurried on their way.
I changed routes several times along the way, and sometimes I changed my outfit…
He encountered many assassinations.
But Xie Lingxi is experienced in this...
Nothing unexpected happened.
It was not until the end of August that we finally arrived at Licheng in southern Xinjiang.
"Congratulations, Crown Princess! Young Master Chi has passed the second place in the imperial examination, and Young Master Song Heng has passed the first place in the imperial examination!" Feicui read the latest news from the capital on the note.
Jiang Rong, who was sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed, smiled and said, "Not bad, everything is good. Let's go back and celebrate for them."
She had guessed long ago that the emperor would never allow Chi Moyan to be the top scholar...
Song Heng is very likely.
The emperor in the previous life also chose him.
In the current officialdom of Daxia where factional struggles are fierce, capable people will never be reused unless they rely on the prince.
The reason why Song Heng was able to hold the position of Shangshu was, firstly, his outstanding political achievements, and secondly, the emperor needed a loyal minister, and he was the one chosen by the emperor.
The Marquis of Jingnan who was enthroned this time was also a pure minister with no background at all.
As far as Jiang Rong could remember, this man died in a barbarian rebellion in the early spring of the next year.
She has been searching for the memories of her past life recently. If she could get some important information about Marquis Jingnan and use it to make a deal, it would be much easier to get the Evergreen Fairy Mushroom.
Unfortunately...
She really had no impression of this person.
In her previous life, she was busy learning how to manage the household and the accounts with the old concubine...
How could I care about something that is thousands of miles away?
It was just that some people in the capital were discussing the death of Marquis Jingnan at that time, and she had some knowledge of the incident.
But she knew nothing about this man's life and background, nor did she remember the name of the man who killed him.
Otherwise, this important information could be used to negotiate terms with Marquis Jingnan.
"Princess, we've arrived at Licheng!" Chen Guangzong, who was sitting on the carriage driving the carriage, shouted.
Jiang Rong opened the curtain...
I saw a large group of generals standing in front of the towering city wall in the distance.
The leader rode on a tall, red horse. He was dressed in a bright silver uniform and had an extremely handsome face with delicate eyebrows and eyes, like a painting.
Only a scar under the eye mars her beautiful face, but it is not ugly at all, and instead adds a touch of heroic spirit.
"Hiss... How come this General Zhennan is more handsome than a woman? He doesn't look like the general I imagined at all." Chen Guangzong was very disappointed.
He thought that this great general with great military achievements must be a strong and sturdy man like his father.
I didn't expect that he was a handsome man who looked fragile.
Jiang Rong couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. However, in terms of male beauty, among all the people she had seen, only Xie Lingxi was better than him.
There is no one in the world more handsome than her husband!
…
Cen Tingbai looked at the convoy coming from afar.
The ceremonial guards of the Northern Prince's Palace were magnificent, and the ceremony for the imperial envoy to announce the decree was also grand.
Surrounded by a group of guards, there was a man in gorgeous scarlet clothes, riding a horse, with a flashy sword inlaid with gems on his waist.
Xie Lingxi.
A disaster struck the capital. A famous playboy from Daxia took advantage of the power of the Xie family and forcibly married Jiang Rong...
These powerful people in the capital, no matter how many years have passed, are still the same and will only do these things to bully others by taking advantage of their power.
"General, it's time for you to receive the order." The trusted guard reminded softly.
Cen Tingbai's eyes moved away from Xie Lingxi, he got off his horse, and said in a deep voice:
"I am General Cen Tingbai, the Great General of Zhennan, and I respectfully welcome the imperial envoy!"
All the soldiers saluted.
Xie Lingxi turned over and dismounted, unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and read:
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: General Cen Tingbai, the Great General of Zhennan, is extremely loyal and brave, has a good command of the army, and has made great contributions in pacifying the southern border. He is hereby conferred the title of Marquis of Jingnan. I decree this."
"I thank Your Majesty for your grace. Long live the emperor." Cen Tingbai took the imperial edict, thanked the emperor, and stood up.
He looked at Xie Lingxi with deep eyes, "Thank you for coming all the way from the North Prince. I have something to discuss with you, Prince. Would you be so kind as to talk to me?"
Xie Lingxi's eyes flickered, "Yes."
…
The General's Mansion of Zhennan.
Keep outsiders away.
Cen Tingbai got straight to the point and said, "I heard that the prince of the Northern King was looking for the nine rare medicines. Unfortunately, I just happened to get one. And the thing I want is in the prince's hands. I wonder if the prince is willing to exchange with me."
"What do you want?" Xie Lingxi looked at him.
"Jiang Rong." Cen Tingbai said.
As soon as the words fell.
Cen Tingbai only felt that the air suddenly solidified.
The man in fancy clothes in front of him suddenly had a cold look in his eyes.
"Sir, I heard that you spent all your money to collect the nine rare medicines. I believe this thing is very important to you. The Evergreen Fairy Mushroom has the effect of prolonging life and is a rare and rare medicine." Cen Tingbai did not realize the seriousness of the problem and continued to speak calmly:
"In comparison, although Jiang Rong is stunningly beautiful, she is just a woman. If the Northern Prince loses her, he can still choose a more beautiful woman."
"As long as the prince writes a letter of divorce to her, I will immediately present the Evergreen Fairy Mushroom to you!"
Xie Lingxi drew his sword and pointed it directly at Cen Tingbai's face.
"Please calm down, my prince!" Xiao Nanxing turned pale with fear and hurriedly tried to stop him. "This is the newly appointed marquis of the imperial court! You can't kill him! And the miraculous medicine is still in his hands! Please think about the prince's wife!"
The miracle drug is in his hands.
These words instantly suppressed the anger in Xie Lingxi's eyes.
He had to grab the medicine.
Cen Tingbai's expression did not change at all when Xie Lingxi pointed a sword at his face. This playboy really relied on his family background to do whatever he wanted.
Xie Lingxi sheathed his sword, turned around and walked out.
Xiao Nanxing said to Cen Tingbai, "Marquis Jingnan, my prince and his wife are deeply in love, so it is impossible for him to divorce her. Our prince really wants your herb. If you really want to exchange it, why don't you give us a sincere price?"
"I only want Jiang Rong. If the prince doesn't want to change, then I will destroy the Evergreen Fairy Mushroom. The prince can consider it for three days. After three days, I will destroy the medicine." Cen Tingbai said coldly.
Xiao Nanxing: ??? What's wrong with you? You ruined the medicine. The Crown Princess can only live until next month at most. You want the Crown Princess? You want her life.
