After passing through the two front halls, Wang Xu finally saw the Dragon King of West Lake in the Dragon King Hall.
The Dragon Lord of West Lake is a middle-aged man, wearing a golden crown and a dragon robe. When you get close to him, you have the urge to worship him.
Having been in the Confucian world for so long, to be honest, Xihu Longjun is the first truly big shot that Wang Xu has seen.
The teacher Xue Mushan is not included. You have to know that although the teacher is a genuine one, a minister selected by the cabinet, and a veteran figure in the Qing Dynasty, in fact, the cabinet is just watching the show. Today you will be on the job, tomorrow I will be on the job. At the most terrifying time, one year can Replace three or five pavilion elders.
From the perspective of the human race, Mr. Ge is not a big shot. The real big shots in the human race are the heads of saint families, the leaders of various political parties, or the heads of Buddhist and Taoist families. Even the heads of big families are not the most important ones. Top people.
The Dragon King of West Lake, second only to the Dragon King of the Four Seas, is the being who rules the Southern Water Tribe, and his status is comparable to that of a sage.
One-on-one, the descendants of the Seventy-Two Sages are one head shorter than the Dragon Lord of West Lake, and the Great Confucian is even one level below.
"Are you Wang Xu?"
Lord Long of West Lake looked kindly, pointed to the chair in the hall, and said: "Sit down, your achievements will be higher than those of your teacher in the future, and you should be given a place."
"Xie Longjun!"
Wang Xu lowered his head slightly, he didn't expect West Lake Dragon Lord to be so generous.
After all, even if his teacher Xue Mushan comes, it doesn’t matter whether West Lake Dragon King will give him face or not.
The Dragon Clan is rich on the one hand, and strength on the other.
The Dragon Lord of West Lake is at least a quasi-sixth-level powerhouse, and may even be a sixth-level one. His status and reputation are only lower than those of the Dragon King of the Four Seas.
There are only a few people in the world who can take notice of such a giant being who has sat and watched the vicissitudes of the human world, calling the shots for millions of years.
Regardless of how much Wang Xu is struggling now, in fact, before he wrote the poem to subjugate the country, he had not come into the sight of the top brass of the human race.
It was this time that he wrote a poem to subjugate the country and alarmed the Confucius Temple, and he was recognized by a family of saints.
Unfortunately, Wang Xu did not want to be involved with the Confucius Temple at this moment, so he left Hangzhou and tried to take shelter in the West Lake Dragon Palace.
Perhaps sensing his attitude, the people from the Confucius Temple and the government did not approach him, and were probably still watching indifferently.
"Since the death of Song Zhiwen, there have been fewer people in your human race who can be praised for their poetry. Later, there was a man named King Luo Bin. Unfortunately, he was assassinated by the demon clan just after he became a Jinshi. His poetry has become a masterpiece, but with my From the looks of it, neither of them is as good as you."
Lord Long of West Lake spoke slowly. Wang Xu had also heard of the two people he mentioned.
Song Zhiwen, in ancient history, was a famous poet in the early Tang Dynasty.
The same goes for King Luo Bin. He was one of the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty and left a lot of writings.
But here, the Sui and Tang Dynasties turned a corner. The Li family, which was supposed to dominate the Central Plains, was replaced by the Wu family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Tang Dynasty became Da Wu.
Countries have changed, and many things have also changed. In history, some people got it right, and some people didn't.
According to historical comparison, the current Wu Dynasty is equivalent to the early Tang Dynasty.
King Luo Bin happened hundreds of years ago. His Imperial Capital Chapter was the last person in the Wu Dynasty who established a poem to conquer the country.
Unfortunately, King Luo Bin was assassinated by the demon clan shortly after he wrote the Imperial Capital chapter, and he was not even a great scholar when he died.
Wang Xu has never heard of Wang Bo, who is 12 years younger than him and is known as the leader of the Four Heroes of the early Tang Dynasty.
The only person who has anything to do with Wang Bo is that there is a Wang family in Gujiang Prefecture, Qingzhou. The third son is also named Wang Mingbo. He is only seven years old. Everyone calls him a supernatural power. He can write poems and paintings. I don’t know if he is different from the Tang Dynasty in history.
Does it have anything to do with Wang Bo at the beginning?
If there is a relationship, this matter will be difficult to handle.
Little Wang Bo is only seven years old, ten years younger than Wang Xu. Even if he is the same Wang Bo who wrote the preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion in junior middle school of the Tang Dynasty, I don't know when he will grow up.
"Thank you for your compliments, Mr. Long. This junior should work harder."
Faced with the praise from the West Lake Dragon Lord, Wang Xu was not modest, because Li Ka-shing said that successful people should show their successful side and make people believe that you will be more successful. Being modest sometimes can undermine the self-confidence of investors.
Wang Xu is here to seek refuge, or in other words, he is here to attract investment. Be humble in front of investors and don't exaggerate. Don't you have something wrong with your brain?
"I know a thing or two about you, and I also know that you came to West Lake not just for the Chinese Valentine's Day Poetry Festival. There are now more than ten days until the Chinese Valentine's Day, and you will stay in the Dragon Palace. If you can pick up the poem at the Chinese Valentine's Day Poetry Festival during the Chinese Valentine's Day,
Winning a good crown will equal the protection I feel this time. If not, you have to do something for me after you become a great scholar."
West Lake Dragon Lord spoke slowly, without saying what to do or how difficult it was.
Wang Xu, however, agreed without even thinking about it.
Not to mention doing this thing first, after he has become a great scholar, he will not regret it even if he does it now.
To switch to being protected by the government or the Confucius Temple, you have to do one thing, maybe ten things, or maybe even if you don't have this condition, you will be asked to sign a deed of betrayal.
From ancient times to the present, the imperial court has the same urine. The Confucius Temple is not a imperial court but a imperial court. This kind of existence that occupies the moral high ground is often the most unreasonable.
In comparison, no matter how difficult the conditions of the Dragon Palace are, it will still be difficult to guard the border.
What's more, after becoming a great scholar, he is not even afraid of demons and gods. In this age where saints do not appear, who can do anything to him.
The conditions are too difficult to predict, and Wang Xu will regret it when the time comes.
He is not a pedantic person, and he will pretend to be fat even if he makes a fool of himself. Anyone who thinks that he can be defeated is underestimating him.
"Don't be restrained here, just like at home. I have a daughter named Ao Xin who loves poetry most. When you have time, you can teach her more. You young people must have a common language."
The Dragon Lord of West Lake obviously didn't know that Wang Xu and the Seventh Princess Ao Xin had already met, so he spoke in an uncertain tone.
The corners of Wang Xu's mouth twitched slightly, and he cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Mr. Long."
"Go down, if you need anything, just go to Prime Minister Gui." West Lake Dragon Lord waved his hand gently, indicating that Wang Xu could leave.
Wang Xu bowed and resigned. As for teaching Ao Xin poetry, this matter needs to be considered in the long run.
If Ao Xin asks for advice humbly, he can give some pointers, but for the rest, I would be very grateful.
"What do you think of him?"
After Wang Xu left, West Lake Dragon Lord spoke softly and said to the screen behind him.
"not bad"
Behind the screen, a noble lady walked out. Her eyebrows resembled the Seventh Princess. She stepped forward and rubbed Mr. Long's shoulders, and said softly: "Xiao Qi is a bitter child. When she was born, her bloodline was not as good as that of her other brothers and sisters.
Over the years, I haven't cultivated anything.
Judging from her talent, it is probably impossible for her to achieve success through normal cultivation. This person named Wang Xu can write poems to subjugate the country. As long as there is no misfortune, it is certain that a great Confucian scholar and a sage are possible. Xiao Qi If you stay with him, be influenced by culture day and night, and improve your qualifications, you may have a different scene in the future."
"Well, that's what I think too. Today the Taoists came to me to discuss a plan to create gods. I vaguely sensed the imminent catastrophe. Nowadays, our world is not at peace. If a catastrophe is imminent, It's hard for you and me to protect Xiao Qi."
When Xihu Longjun said this, he seemed to feel the lady's worry. While holding the lady's hand, he smiled and said: "Don't worry too much. This person is just a back-up man. I have other arrangements, over there with Buddhism." We are almost ready. No matter what happens in the future, there is always a way out."
“The Buddhist side”
"Shhh"
Lord Long of West Lake made a silent gesture, patted the back of his wife's hand, and whispered: "Don't worry, I will take care of everything!"
