The banquet had just begun, and the second prince had just sat down. The maids put the delicacies on the tables in front of them, and then slowly retreated, leaving only a few people to serve. But at this moment,
Someone had already spoken, and in front of many foreign monks, began to accuse the absent young man.
At this moment, the entire banquet was quiet. The second prince frowned, a little unhappy, and put his finger on the wine glass a little harder. The expressions on the faces of the monks outside were dull, as if they didn't have much thought about this, but just a few of them.
There was an undisguised sarcastic smile on his face.
Although their sect had a good relationship with the Liang Dynasty, it was only a good relationship, and it was far from the point where they would both prosper and suffer.
Even they did not sincerely support the Daliang Dynasty, but chose the Daliang Dynasty as an ally because their own division was too weak. The relationship between the two sides was only to use each other and need each other.
Xia Yuan looked towards the place where the sound came from, and found that the person who spoke was not someone else, but the young man from the Ning family. Among the ten people in the Liang Dynasty, excluding Chen Chao, the young man from the Ning family was the most humble. Although the Ning family in Longxi was
It can be considered a wealthy family, but among these people present, who can he compare with?
Logically speaking, he should have been the least present person in this banquet. Chen Chao's absence might be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives. After all, the trouble this young man caused in the city of God a few days ago was really huge.
Some, but who would have thought that at this moment, he would be the first to speak.
Could it be that this person also has some unexplainable things about that Xie girl?
Although Xia Yuan had some bad experiences with Zai Hupan and Chen Chao before, he did it for the academy and had no idea about anything else.
The young men from the Wei family and the Xie family who were sitting on the left and right of the Ning family boy were silent at this moment, without any expression.
The Ning boy stood up, bowed to the second prince, and continued, "How important is tonight's event? That person is so ridiculous that he didn't even come. I heard that he spoke for the world by the bank of Nanhu before, and I still said this
People have some respect for him, but looking at it now, I don’t know how much thought this person had when he said Nanhu. I’m afraid his intentions are not pure! Even if he has made meritorious service to the country, I’m afraid today he will be condemned for being unworthy of the emperor.
sin!"
Chen Chao's defense of the students in the academy actually caused a lot of trouble in the city of God. However, in the days after that, he concentrated on living in the small courtyard and rarely cared about external affairs. Naturally, he didn't know about it, but the rest of the people present
, let alone these ten people, even the monks outside have actually heard about it.
After all, that incident happened in the academy.
When Xia Yuan heard the young man from the Ning family mention this matter, a hint of darkness appeared in his eyebrows.
The place was very quiet, but many people had already turned their attention to the quiet girl. Rumors spread throughout the gods that this girl from the Xie family liked the young guardian envoy from a poor background. Now that the boy from the Ning family spoke, it may not be without temptation.
The truth of this matter.
Seeing that Xie Nandu was still calm and had no intention of speaking, people gradually understood that the rumors in the gods were not to be taken seriously.
well-informed person,
Knowing the whole story before Xie Nandu came to the capital of gods, at this moment, she just took in the young man out of gratitude.
Especially the young people who were interested in Xie Nandu during the game couldn't help but feel happy again.
Regardless of whether they really like Xie Nandu, in the Liang Dynasty, just the fact that Xie Nandu was born in the Xie family and was a closed disciple of the current dean was enough to attract most people.
There was a quick response to the Ning boy's two words. Someone laughed and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. Maybe the imperial city is too big. He is a small local guardian. He has never been to these places. He was lost for a while.
, which is also reasonable.”
These words seemed to be relieving Chen Chao, but in fact they were full of ridicule. For a while, there were several faint laughters in the room.
The man who spoke was from Tianyuyuan, his name was Fan Hong, and he was one of the two people in Tianyuyuan. If Chen Chao had not refused Tianyuyuan's invitation that day, and if the guarding envoy Yamen had not given up one of the two places, then
Today, Chen Chao will be the only candidate to represent Tianyuyuan, which means that his direct descendant, who has been practicing in Tianyuyuan, will not be one of the ten people.
Although that incident did not happen in the end, when he thought of the possibility, Fan Hong had no good impression of the young guardian envoy, and he was already disgusted with him even before he met him.
Hearing someone agree, the Ning boy was quite proud, but he didn't notice that the second prince's face was not very good-looking.
The second prince had no interaction with Chen Chao. Even if he didn't know his whereabouts, he would not mention it at the royal banquet. Instead, he would try to suppress the matter as much as possible. After all, monk Fang Wai was present at this moment.
Therefore, he deliberately did not mention that matter, but he did not expect that the Ning boy would ignore the overall situation and start to accuse Chen Chao in front of monk Fang Wai. What he did not expect was that it was Fan of Tianyuyuan.
Hong actually still echoed in the room.
Such a thing should never happen at today's banquet.
He also knew that there were many ghosts in the Liang Dynasty, but those ghosts were probably extremely smart, and these two would not be one of them, because they were too stupid.
The second prince's eyes slowly moved across the table. He did not look at the monks from outside, but went to see the two people from Tianyuyuan first. Chen Chao rejected Tianyuyuan's invitation. Tianyuyuan was a little dissatisfied, but it was reasonable.
Among them, the Wei family has always been at odds with the Xie family. Knowing that the young man and the girl from the Xie family are involved, it makes sense for them not to speak out. The Xie family is complicated. The girl was born in Bailu, and the Xie family's influence in the divine capital is limited.
She is her own team, so it is normal that the others are not close to her. The three people in the Academy, because of the Nanhu theory, although Chen Chao stands on the truth, it has insulted the Academy's face after all. It doesn't matter if the three of you don't speak.
Question, but in the end the second prince's eyes fell on Xie Nandu, thinking that you are the one who should speak the most, why are you silent at this moment?
Is it true that as the world thinks, there is only kindness between you and him?
, and nothing else?
The second prince shook his head and was about to say a few words for the young man he had never met before when he heard a voice from the audience, "Your Highness, it's time for the court to pay attention to the rules."
That person happens to be one of the monks outside Fang. His sect has good relations with the Liang Dynasty and is a real distinguished guest. Even though the second prince is of royal blood, it is difficult to deny his statement at this moment. After all, he must pay attention to the relationship between the two parties.
friendship between.
The most important thing is that no matter what the reason is, it is a fact that Chen Chao is absent at this moment.
Now everyone can speak, but the second prince can no longer defend the Chen Dynasty.
Therefore, the second prince just smiled faintly but did not nod.
"Yes, outside our area, these disrespectful guys will be kicked out of the mountain gate by having their cultivation level destroyed!" ??
"We people in the grasslands also know the word "rules". Is it possible that the Liang Dynasty doesn't follow the rules now?"
"Perhaps it's because that person has never studied, but since he has never studied, why does he appear in the academy again?"
…
…
The young people from outside the country talked about this matter with a loud voice. If the others could still sit still before, now they can't sit still when they hear the young people from outside the country begin to use this to criticize the Daliang Dynasty.
Already.
Many people present had vaguely guessed the reason. The current situation must be related to Chen Chao's killing of those Qi refiners.
After all, if these monks have good relations with the Liang Dynasty, their first identity is still monks, not anything else.
The second prince was silent, just thinking that if the foreign monks who had good relations with the Liang Dynasty were like this, what would happen to those monks who had no friendship with the Liang Dynasty? He had never left the capital of God, and had never visited the various places in the Liang Dynasty with his own eyes.
But I have heard those stories and know how the monks treated the people of the Liang Dynasty in those stories.
For a moment, the second prince actually felt a little sad in his heart.
The imperial banquet originally had good intentions by inviting young people from outside the country to gather together, but now it seems that it seems like the Liang Dynasty's self-indulgence.
"I implore Your Highness to tell Your Majesty what happened today, and we will definitely punish the guarding envoy severely!"
When there was a moment of silence, the young man from the Ning family spoke very solemnly. He looked at the second prince with a serious face and said, "Now that the grand gathering is still in front of fellow Taoist Fangwai, if that person doesn't come, it will really embarrass me, Daliang Chao.
Severe punishment is necessary to show the majesty of my Daliang law!"
Fan Hong nodded and said, "I, Daliang Lu, are in front, so naturally I have to punish him severely!"
As he spoke, several foreign monks looked at each other and said, "I heard that Daliang's rules are very serious. I saw you today. Isn't that true?"
"Don't make any assumptions, I think the Liang Dynasty still has rules." Another monk spoke, but with a very deep meaning on his face.
The second prince looked at the Ning boy with mixed emotions in his eyes. It would have been fine if it was just him today, but after he spoke, the monks from outside the country also spoke.
, which instantly turned the current situation into an extremely difficult one.
Based on Chen Chao's absence today, if he didn't know the reason, it would be reasonable to punish him, but now it seems that the monks outside are also forcing him to make a decision. This situation is definitely not what he wants to see.
Arrived.
Naturally, these young people did not have the ability to force the Emperor of Dalian to do anything, but their behavior at this moment was not a microcosm of the entire Dalian Dynasty?
The second prince thought for a while and decided to say something for Chen Chao.
"This is inappropriate."
On the side of the academy students who had been silent, someone spoke up. It was not Xia Yuan, but another older scholar. His name was Wang Kuan. He was born in an ordinary farmer's family in Lingnan. He was brought back by the academy master when he traveled around the world.
Not only does the academy write well, but he is also a good person in spiritual practice. Nowadays, he has a good reputation among the younger generation of the academy.
"Even if Chen Zhenzhen has not arrived, the matter has not been clearly investigated and the reason is not known, we should not convict him in such a hurry."
Wang Kuan spoke in a gentle voice, his voice was calm and showed no favoritism.
Before, it was difficult to speak because of my status as an academy student, but now I have to speak more.
The second prince had some approval in his eyes.
The faces of the monks outside Fang were not very good-looking. Perhaps they did not expect that someone in the room would dare to contradict them.
This is not acceptable, even if they are academy students.
The Ning boy retorted, "Even if there is a reason, can it be bigger than attending the imperial banquet? Even if there is a reason, this has already happened, how can we not punish it?!"
Wang Kuan frowned and said warmly, "You have to know the reason before you can tell the crime."
"Since it is already an ironclad fact, why are you still asking so many questions? In my opinion, it is not unreasonable for His Highness to directly convict you. I don't think His Majesty will say anything."
In the middle of the field, a tall and thin young man spoke. This man was one of the monks outside Fang, his name was He Yi, and he came from Qingyun Temple.
Even among the young monks outside the country, He Yi is extremely famous.
In the world of spiritual practice, there is a Qianlong List, which specifically lists young people under the age of thirty in the world. They are ranked according to their talents and realms. Those on the list are all geniuses in the world.
The person in front of me is also on the list.
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone in the room who originally wanted to say something in favor of Wang Kuan gave up their intention.
Wang Kuan frowned, but before he could speak, the girl who had never spoken suddenly looked towards the field and said calmly, "What does it have to do with you?"
As soon as he said these words, the room suddenly became quiet.
He Yi didn't speak, just squinted his eyes, with some murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Everyone's eyes fell on the girl.
Xie Nandu didn't care about these things and just continued calmly, "Even if he is convicted, it is my business, Daliang Dynasty. What does it have to do with you?"
