Song Mansion.
Song Shiwen looked at the dazed Song Ming and said coldly, "I believe you already know that at the banquet last night, His Majesty personally selected Song Chi as the top scholar. He will be summoned to the palace today to be appointed an official. Given how much His Majesty values him, he must be in an important position. His Majesty didn't even ask Lu Taiyuan and me about this before. Do you know what this means?"
"This means that His Majesty is likely trying to establish a new power within the court. In His Majesty's eyes, Song Chi's importance is similar to mine."
Song Ming finally came back to his senses. He raised his head and asked, "Did Song Chi really write an article on teaching war and defense strategies?"
"yes."
"He's still writing a war manifesto?"
"yes."
"Did he really advise His Majesty to strip Shen Chong of his title?"
"yes."
Song Ming stood up and said with a complicated expression, "Song Chi is your son. If you really ask me to do these things, I may not be able to do them. At least I can't write a conquest manifesto. With the strength of the Great Zhou, whether this war can be won is still uncertain. If we really lose, he will become the target of public criticism and a sinner of the Great Zhou. He may even be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!"
"Everyone outside is cursing him now."
"So what?"
Song Shiwen said calmly, "Back then, my father was also criticized and cursed by thousands of people, but now I am the Prime Minister of the dynasty and the leader of the Literary Party."
"Father."
Song Ming begged, "I accept my fate. I am willing to acknowledge Song Chi as my brother. Please don't kick me out of the Song Mansion."
"I'll let Song Chi decide what to do with you."
"No, Father, you can't do this."
"A traitor!"
Song Shiwen took a step back, looked at Song Ming coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Do you think I don't know that you have been in contact with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in private? Do you think I don't know that you told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about Song Chi's life experience?"
"Also, tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about all the things I did in private."
Hearing this, Song Ming's face changed drastically. He knelt down and said hurriedly: "Father, I was just possessed by a ghost for a moment. I just..."
"That's enough."
"Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? To gain the Crown Prince's protection, you gave him evidence. Even if he knew, what would happen? The fact that Song Chi is my son will be made public sooner or later. And as for all the corruption... you should be able to guess who got the money."
"Father, I was wrong. I was really wrong. Please forgive me."
Song Ming was really scared.
This was a secret matter. If his father knew about it, it would be considered a betrayal and his father would never forgive him.
"You only have small tricks but no great wisdom. You are nothing compared to Song Chi, and you are nothing compared to him!" Song Shiwen angrily swung his sleeves. Song Ming, who was about to beg for mercy, was directly enraged by these words.
He stood up and pointed at Song Shiwen, angrily saying: "A year ago in Ji County, do you still remember what you said?"
"You said Song Chi was a waste, you said he was good for nothing, and now you say the same thing to me." Song Ming took another step forward, "Do you think if you bring him back, he'll recognize you as his father? You're dreaming!"
Song Ming shouted, "I'm putting this on the line now. You'll definitely be defeated by him in the future!"
“Bang!”
Song Shiwen raised his hand and slapped Song Ming in the face, angrily saying, "My blood flows in his veins. This is a relationship that can never be severed. Filial piety is the most important virtue in this dynasty, and filial piety is a constraint that weighs on everyone!"
Song Ming was knocked to the ground. He didn't say anything, but just laughed uncontrollably, with more mockery in his voice.
"When we were in Ji County, you said that as long as Song Chi returned to Beijing, you would give your fiancée Lin Tianjiao to him. Your father agrees to this. I will go find Lin Tianjiao to help you break off the engagement. From today on, Lin Tianjiao is Song Chi's fiancée!"
After Song Shiwen finished speaking, he walked out directly.
"Someone, take good care of this rebellious son. Don't let him leave the room!"
"yes!"
Two sturdy men answered at the door, and the door was closed. The room became dark. Song Ming's face was ferocious, "You forced me to do this, you forced me to do this..."
He took out a letter from his sleeve, his hands shaking as he held it.
There was only one sentence written on the letter: If you can be used by my Northern Wei, the Northern Wei Emperor is willing to give you a high position and generous salary, and also betroth my Northern Wei princess to you.
There is a flame pattern in the lower right corner of the letter, which is the Dark Eagle of the Northern Wei Secret Disc Organization.
.......
At the city gate, a carriage stopped and Su Nanyi got out. She was wearing a green long dress, which was a little tight, highlighting her good figure. She was tall and had graceful curves, and the charm she exuded quickly attracted many eyes.
"Is this the Shangjing City?"
Su Nanyi looked up, her eyes full of joy.
Before leaving, Song Chi told her that when she could make the stockings, she could come to Beijing to find him. Su Nanyi made this her goal. She only knew what the stockings looked like, with only a sample picture and description, and she also knew that it was impossible to make them with the current level of textile technology.
Su Nanyi was not discouraged. She tried many methods and spent a long time finally making a pair by hand.
She lifted the hem of her skirt slightly, and a flash of black disappeared in an instant, leaving people with endless reverie.
As I was thinking about it, I saw a lot of people gathered at the city gate in front, and I could vaguely hear the words "number one scholar" mentioned from the loud conversation.
Su Nanyi was slightly stunned. As soon as she entered the capital, she knew that her cousin had already won the top prize. Now the palace examination has not yet begun, how come he has already won the top prize?
Could it be that my cousin is the top scholar in the imperial examination?
She lifted her skirt and walked over quickly but gracefully. She saw a few big words written on the red list posted on the wall: Song Chi, the top scholar in front of the emperor.
