Raise an emperor as a villain

Chapter 18 Mr. Wen Jing

Everyone followed the voice and saw that it was a young man in his 20s, handsome and handsome.Holding a blank folding fan in his hand, there is not even a single ink dot on it, which seems very strange.

Everyone didn't know when this person came, and how he was so unrestrained in front of King Gansu and Lord Zhizhou.Only Chen Ding frowned, but it was ignored by everyone who thought it was a normal reaction after being offended.

In front of the court, the peony demon is incompetent, and the Chishang Fuyu is pure.

Only the true color of peony can move the capital when the flowers bloom.

The young man shook the folding fan in his hand, and slowly chanted a seven character quatrain.Immediately, the entire courtyard fell silent, and everyone was shocked by the poems written by this unknown "crazy student".

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" Lu Hengxiu took the lead in applauding, Ming Jue quickly realized and understood Lu Hengxiu's intention.

"Mr. is really talented. I don't know Mr. Gao's name?" Ming Jue's words attracted the attention of many scholars, and everyone knew that this talented "crazy student" was safe and sound.It also relieved many scholars who were worried about him.

"I'm Luo Wenxi, I've met the prince." Luo Wenxi held the fan with both hands, saluted Ming Jue, then saluted Chen Ding, and finally saluted the scholars present.In this way, he showed his demeanor of a modest gentleman, without the slightest hint of the madness of just now.

"It turned out to be Mr. Wen Jing." As soon as his name was announced, some scholars recognized him immediately.As Luo Wenxi lived in seclusion, not many people had seen his true face, but his reputation had already spread far and wide.

Speaking of Mr. Wenjing Luo Wenxi, who doesn't know?It's just that everyone thought that such a highly respected hermit must be an old man with a beard. Who would have thought that such a young and handsome young man would be so handsome?

Luo Wenxi was immediately surrounded by enthusiastic students. Who among these people has never heard of Mr. Wen Jing's deeds? At the age of 16, he won the first prize in the examination, and at the age of 26, he resigned from office and retired.Everything he did was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

As a result, Ming Jue was left out in the cold. Mr. Chen secretly observed Ming Jue's face, seeing that he was smiling and not at all unhappy, so he was relieved.

Seeing that everyone was only surrounding the hermit who had suddenly appeared, Ming Jue had no choice but to ask Lu Hengxiu to deliver the pearl.After receiving Mingjue's order, Lu Hengxiu walked through the lively crowd with the red sandalwood box in his hands and walked to Luo Wenxi's side.

"A precious treasure is rare, and the latent light reflects Puwan. Mister's talent is just like the light of this pearl, but I hope that Mr. will not cast the pearl in secret!" Lu Hengxiu said while offering the pearl with both hands.

The students around Luo Wenxi started whispering, and everyone could hear the solicitation hidden in these words.It's just that Luo Wenxi was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials back then, and he was a third-rank official.How could he be tempted by such a small feudal lord even if he dismissed such a high-ranking official with a generous salary?

In the eyes of these students, Luo Wenxi is a fairy-like figure with idle clouds and wild cranes, how could he care about such mundane things.Or to say that scholars are duplicity, obviously just now they were fighting for a luminous pearl, but now they are all pretending to be noble in their hearts.

Luo Wenxi took Mingzhu very straightforwardly, then bowed to Mingjue and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." After that, there was no other words, as if he hadn't heard Lu Hengxiu's words at all.

"Isn't he a hermit? Why are you rushing to join in the fun?" He didn't refuse, but disappointed the expecting students.But Lu Hengxiu knew that it was the right choice for him to accept.He was the one who came out on his own initiative to win the lottery just now. If he wins it, he will offend Ming Jue if he doesn't want to. If Ming Jue is narrow-minded, he might have to take revenge.The so-called celebrities and hermits will never offend the powerful.

Lu Hengxiu naturally knew that these scholars had the best face, let alone those who lived in seclusion, he had no hope of getting a response.So after delivering the things, he returned to Ming Jue and stood with his hands down, with a look of keeping himself safe.

Everyone chanted poems, made up their minds, and talked about it for a long time, and the sun gradually rose to the sky.

"My lord, it's getting a bit poisonous these days, you might as well go back to the wing room to rest." Chen Ding suggested.

Ming Jue nodded when he heard the words, and led the people away.All the scholars also dispersed, and went to rest in the room prepared for them by Master Zhizhou.

"Ling'an, what's the matter with you?" Chen Dingping retreated and followed his servants, and followed Luo Wenxi by himself, and finally waited until all the students surrounded by him like flies were gone before rushing up to get angry asked.

"Oh? Bingwen, are you angry? Didn't I tell you that I would definitely come today." Luo Wenxi shook her fan in a suave manner.

"I went to invite you this morning, and you clearly looked like you wouldn't come. How did I expect you to come, and why did you appear so eye-catchingly? You can't avoid it at this time. How can you still want to come?" Show off?" Chen Ding was so angry that his beard trembled.He was born with a handsome appearance and a fair complexion. Although he is approaching his age now, he still looks very young.But he wanted to look old-fashioned, so he deliberately grew a beard.

"Bingwen, do you really want to stay in Qizhou for the rest of your life?" Luo Wenxi stared at him with burning eyes, "You and I both understand that I don't really want to live in seclusion, have you really let go of the past? "

"I...I...I don't know, I still can't forget after all these years, but..." Chen Ding didn't continue, but Luo Wenxi knew what he was worried about.

"Bingwen!" Luo Wenxi put away her cynicism, and leaned forward to hold Chen Ding's hand, "I won't let the dead die in vain, and I won't let the grievances you have suffered be in vain. Now that the thieves are still above the ninth and fifth ranks, and the rebellious ministers have become the "pillars" of the country, how can I live in seclusion with peace of mind?" Luo Wenxi's gentle face showed a trace of hatred.

"Hey, you are always paying attention to the news of the Supreme Emperor. I should have known that you would not be reconciled. In fact, how can I let go of the hatred in my heart one day?" Chen Ding sighed, recalling the blood rain that swept the entire court. fishy.

At the beginning, the British Emperor Yujia was captured in person, and King Ning took advantage of the emptiness to enter the throne and proclaim himself emperor.It's not that no one in the court objected, but many loyal ministers and martyrs were thrown into prison for nothing but accusations of snares and weaving of crimes.

At that time, Chen Ding was just a hot-blooded young man who had just entered the Ministry of Officials from the Hanlin Academy. Because Luo Wenxi, who was still the servant of the Ministry of Officials, favored him at that time, Qingyun went straight up and became the servant of the Department of Literature and Selection of the Ministry of Officials.If you rise too fast, you will easily be jealous, not to mention that a young man is like a newborn tiger, at the age when he is not afraid of anything, how can he know the truth of being tough?

After King Ning proclaimed himself emperor, he refused to redeem the British emperor on the pretext that the treasury was empty, which caused an uproar in the court.How could the young servant sit idly by amidst the outrage?Chen Ding didn't listen to Luo Wenxi's dissuasion at that time, and followed a group of nerdy censors and Hanlin to kneel outside the Golden Luan Hall.He was not afraid to watch one minister after another being dragged down to beat the board. He only felt that he was an admonishing minister like Wei Zheng through the ages, but he didn't consider that today he is not the Tang Taizong who is good at accepting admonitions.

So he knelt outside the Golden Luan Hall for several days, suffering hunger and thirst, waiting not for the emperor's compromise, but for his own crimes of contempt for imperial power and conspiracy.The situation suddenly changed. A few days ago, the high-spirited and envied Minister of the Ministry of Officials, in the blink of an eye, became a prisoner in the prison that everyone talked about.

When Chen Ding personally experienced the torture in the imperial prison with his own body, he realized how stupid he was when he scolded Luo Wenxi, who had single-handedly promoted him, as a villain and a second minister.But he still has no regrets, the death of a man is more important than Mount Tai, he died for the ancestral temple and the country, and he will never regret it.However, the torture in the prison quickly changed his mind. The piecemeal torture and hanging people are just a happy way to prevent you from dying, which made him afraid from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Ding has always been physically strong, but now it has become a shortcoming. Most of the censors with weaker bodies died a few days ago, but he is still suffering half-dead.Fortunately, he spent less and less awake time every day, and was often in a semi-comatose state.He thought that he would be free soon, but when he woke up later, he was lying on the big bed at home, and his immediate boss, Luo Wenxi, was watching him anxiously.

"Am I dead?" Chen Ding thought that he was no longer a person in the mortal world, and he no longer followed the rules and called himself a subordinate.

"You finally woke up, you are not dead. The emperor demoted you to be the magistrate of Qizhou. When you get better, I will accompany you to take office in Qizhou." Luo Wenxi explained to the dazed Chen Ding, with an imperceptible trace in his eyes The tenderness is flashing.

Chen Ding had an intuition that Luo Wenxi saved him, but he couldn't figure out how he did it. "Why do you want to go with me? Chen Ding has a keen intuition and grasped the point at once.

"I resigned, and the country is here. As a subject, I can't be loyal to the king, but I feel ashamed. It's better to go to Qizhou to live in seclusion, and be a wandering wild crane."

Later, Luo Wenxi followed Chen Ding to Qizhou, and several years passed.Chen Ding became a well-loved and beloved parent official, and Luo Wenxi also became a hermit who was highly respected by scholars in Qizhou.But neither of them forgot the blood that was shed in the court and the lingering ghosts in the prison.

"I just saw King Su. He is not surprised when he is changed, but not angry when he is offended. He is still a character. Besides, you also said that there must be hidden forces behind him. Why don't we bet on it once." Luo Wenxi's face was faint expect.

"Do you mean that you want to join King Su and help him regain the throne?" Chen Ding was a little surprised. Although he thought about revenge every day, he still didn't dare to act rashly.What's more, Luo Wenxi told him before that only relying on King Su's power, the chance of success is very small.

"That's right. The general situation of the world is as unpredictable as the wind and clouds. We are all alone anyway, why don't we dare to give it a go?"

Luo Wenxi's smug words aroused Chen Ding's long-lost pride, and made him feel the long-suppressed grievance rushing around, almost bursting out.

"Okay." Chen Ding looked at the boss he had followed in the past, and the originally lifeless person exuded the light of youth again, dazzling and bright.
