Even the East Palace was shocked by Lin Cheng's move. Even though they knew that Lin Cheng was always steady, they thought that Lin Cheng and Du Shangshu had some kind of beef and actually wanted to take the opportunity of a martial arts contest to seriously injure Du Changshi.
Mu Anzhi's expression softened and he nodded slightly at Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng had no expression on his face and turned around to resume his orders, "Mr. Du's martial arts skills are slightly better than Master Yao's, Master Li. If you practice diligently in the future, you will become an ordinary master, but it will be difficult to reach the upper realm."
After being called by Lin Cheng, Yao Xu and Li Erlang continued to stand aside with a gray face.
Emperor Mu Xuan knew that Lin Cheng had always been strict, and Jiang Xun's martial arts was also called ordinary by Lin Cheng. Judging from this, Du Changshi's martial arts was quite good. However, his face was badly beaten. Emperor Mu Xuan said to Lin Cheng, "You are just like this."
, even though he gave guidance with good intentions, his actions were a bit harsh."
Lin Cheng didn't think that he was serious at all. Emperor Mu Xuan said to Du Changshi's pig-headed face very gently, "Among the younger generation, there are few who catch Lin Qing's eyes, and he calls him ordinary. Du Qing is really versatile in both civil and military affairs."
"I don't dare to praise you. I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and my martial arts has not been advanced for a long time. Now I meet General Lin. I have heard that General Lin is the best master of the Imperial Guard. I have the intention of competing for a while, and I also want to use General Lin to have a brazen fight.
, I have selfish motives, General Lin will not hesitate to give me advice, I would like to thank General Lin." Du Changshi saluted Lin Cheng again.
Du Changshi had an unruly temperament, but he acted openly and openly, and did not hide his selfishness. Emperor Mu Xuan liked his frankness and said with a smile, "This is not selfish. Anyone in the imperial capital who wants to make progress in martial arts can't
I don’t want to ask for advice from Lin Qing. You are very good."
Du Changshi bowed slightly and retreated to the side.
Mu An ordered his chamberlain to bring some ice ointment, and Du Changshi wrapped ice in a handkerchief to reduce swelling on his face while watching Chen Jian and Jiang Xun compete.
Jiang Xun and Du Changshi are from the same sect, and both are disciples of the outer martial arts sect. Chen Jian is good at using long swords, and even though he is as cold as ice, he has the waist of a wasp, the back of a monkey, the shape of a crane, and a set of swords.
The Fa is even more dazzling and extremely beautiful.
Queen Mother Lan and others had just recovered from Du Changshi's thrilling martial arts competition. At this time, seeing Chen Jian's beautiful swordsmanship and Jiang Xun's sword being thick and solemn, she couldn't help but say, "This kid's martial arts is also good."
"This is just Ah Jian's introductory swordsmanship, called Yaohua Sword. General Jiang only used the Spring and Autumn Twenty-Four Swordsmanship. They were testing each other's skills and did not come up with any real moves." Tang Mo explained to his grandmother.
Suddenly, Tang Mo's eyes lit up.
In the martial arts arena, the two men's moves suddenly changed. Chen Jian changed his gorgeous sword moves from before, with a sword that was as frozen as ice and extremely sharp. Jiang Xun's sword style became more and more primitive, precise and orderly, one sword at a time, extremely simple, yet extremely rigorous.
Chen Jian's quick sword can always be just right to seal it.
Li Erlang asked Yao Xu quietly, "The Bodhi Sword used by General Jiang is one of the best in Shaolin. What kind of swordsmanship does Mr. Chen use?"
Yao Xu thought for a while, "I remember reading it in a book of essays before, uh, later, I can't remember later."
The prince obviously heard Yao Xu's words and looked at him with a smile, "Wu Lang, you have always learned a lot and memorized it. It's not like you can't remember."
Yao Xu was a little depressed, "Back to Your Highness, those notes are mostly anecdotes from the world, and there are many taboos."
Emperor Mu Xuan said, "But it doesn't matter."
Yao Xu had no choice but to say, "Miscellaneous notes say that when Emperor Gaozu was young, he happened to meet a woman from the Jianghu. She was born in Wudang and was good at using the Qingfeng Sword Technique. Later, she was hurt by love and traveled far away to the Tianshan Mountains. She enlightened to the Tao under the moon behind the snow in the Tianshan Mountains.
, created a set of sword techniques that is unparalleled in the world, called Tianshan Mingyue. The common people have not really seen it, I wonder, right?"
Tang Mo was also introducing to Queen Mother Lan, "Ajian's family were originally scholars. He never practiced martial arts when he was a child. Once when he was young, he went out to save a seriously ill Taoist nun. The Taoist nun was not going to die soon. Before he left, he said, "Help."
There was no way he could repay his kindness, so he left him a broken sword manual. The Taoist aunt didn't know much about this sword manual. It was just passed down among the masters. By the Taoist aunt's generation, it was eventually reduced to ordinary swordsmanship. After explaining this
After practicing the sword technique, the Taoist nun passed away."
Princess Jiaxiang asked in surprise, "This is often written in story books. It turns out that such a thing really does happen."
"Yeah, I didn't believe it when I first heard about it. I even asked Ah Jian, and he showed me the sword manual that the Taoist nun gave him, but only half of it was left in pieces. This sword technique is called Tianshan Mingyue, and it was originally written by Wudang Yi.
Created by a female disciple, not many people knew about it in the world. The sword technique was the ultimate sword technique. Because of it, there were only a few people who could understand and learn it. However, even if there was only half a volume, it was a hundred times stronger than the ordinary complete technique. It can be seen that back then
The heroine who created this set of swordsmanship must be extraordinary."
After Yao Xu finished speaking, Emperor Mu Xuan asked Lin Cheng, "Do you know this sword style?"
Lin Cheng said, "Your Majesty, I do have this sword. What Mr. Yao said is roughly correct. Tianshan Mingyue's internal strength does have shadows of Wudang's internal strength. However, the person who created this swordsmanship made improvements on the original internal strength.
His swordsmanship is also among the best in the world."
The prince said, "But I think Chen Juren's swordsmanship seems to be slightly inferior to that of General Xiao Jiang."
"Your Highness is right. This set of swordsmanship has many changes and requires extremely high standards for those who practice it. Ordinary people will inevitably fail to understand the secrets. Chen Juren's swordsmanship has been seen so far, but it is not enough for beginners." Lin Cheng replied.
Chen Jian and Jiang Xun were not as startled as Du Changshi. They decisively stopped fighting after the winner was determined. Chen Jian was defeated by Jiang Xun.
Emperor Mu Xuan always liked young talents. These people had their own merits in civil and military affairs, but they were all outstanding among the nobles' children. Emperor Mu Xuan all praised them a few times, and each received a reward.
Du Changshi was gifted a purple-edged scimitar. Emperor Mu Xuan said, "Today you have made a small breakthrough in martial arts, and you will definitely make progress in the future. This sword is called Pojun, and it was used by the swordsman Yan Pojun of the previous dynasty. The two great swordsmen of the previous dynasty
One of the famous swords is Ji Duanhun's Soul-Destroying Sword, and the other is this Pojun. May your martial arts skills advance further."
Du Changshi was extremely grateful. After bowing respectfully, he took it with both hands.
Emperor Mu Xuan also liked Chen Jian very much, "Your family has been scholarly for generations, but you have a talented martial artist. This sword has been in the palace for a long time. When the file was first recorded, I didn't know the name. Because there were three characters "Ming Yue Xue" engraved on the hilt, it was named after "Ming Yue Xue".
This is the name. Now that I saw your swordsmanship, I suddenly thought that this sword might be destined to you. "
Chen Jian solemnly accepted the long sword decorated with a gray scabbard. Sure enough, there were three words engraved on the ink jade hilt: Ming Yuexue.
Emperor Mu Xuan liked Yao Xu and Li Erlang because he was knowledgeable and allowed him to enter and leave the royal library at will. As for Li Erlang, Emperor Mu Xuan thought for a while and said, "Although your martial arts skills are ordinary, your articles contain a murderous spirit.
If you are not suitable for a civilian position, how about transferring to the Guards and taking a military position?"
Li Erlang was overjoyed and immediately thanked the emperor for his kindness.
Emperor Mu Xuan smiled, "You are all heroes for a while. I hope that you will all be able to stretch your ambitions and achieve great success in the future, and live up to this glorious life!"
Everyone thanks the Emperor again for his kindness.
Emperor Mu Xuan was extremely satisfied with the selection of his son-in-law this time. Among the four, Li Erlang was slightly inferior, but he was also a good young man.
For example, Du Changshi, Chen Jian, and Yao Xu were all talented among talented people.
Queen Mother Lan seems to be a good boy, worthy of a princess.
Empress Dowager Lan privately spoke to Empress Lu and Concubine Hui, "You have all seen them. They are all first-class young people. The emperor and I have picked and selected and selected these four. They have tried both civil and military forces. They are not the first-class young people."
Is there any disciple who has a vain reputation that you like?"
Empress Lu and Concubine Hui were all happy. Empress Lu smiled and said, "The eyes of the Queen and Your Majesty cannot be wrong. When my daughter-in-law looked at them today, she felt that they were all good. To be honest with the Queen, her eyes would look like flowers."
Already."
Concubine Hui said with a smile, "I am the same. They are all talented people. They are all good."
Queen Mother Lan smiled, "We only have two princesses in our family. If you think it's a good idea, you should also ask the children what they think. Tell the children that this is not the time to be shy. They have all seen each other today, and they are in love with each other.
Which one, just ask and let the emperor grant the marriage."
Empress Lu and Concubine Hui should be together.
Empress Lu also specially asked the prince and princess to discuss it together. At first, the prince preferred Du Changshi. However, Emperor Mu Xuan preferred Yao's son. Today when he saw Yao Xu, the prince praised, "I have chatted with Yao Xu for a while."
In other words, he is indeed a very knowledgeable person, which is rare and rare."
Empress Lu was also pleased that Yao Xu was born and he was the legitimate son of the duke. When the prince praised Yao Xu, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Your father's vision can never be wrong."
The Crown Princess smiled, "I have to go and congratulate my sister."
"There is no need for you to congratulate her. Call Jiaxiang over and have dinner at my place tonight." Empress Lu sent people to call her daughter over. She also wanted to tell her about the consort, but she didn't want Princess Jiaxiang's reaction to surprise everyone.
Unexpected.
Princess Jiaxiang said unhappily, "That boy from the Yao family is not as good as Du and Chen in his essays, and he is at the bottom when it comes to martial arts. Together, he is no more than a second-rate guy. Am I worthy of such a second-rate guy?"
"What do you mean by that? Why are you a second-rate guy?" Queen Lu asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Yao? Not to mention his background, your eldest brother has inquired about him outside and talked to him personally. He is a very knowledgeable man.
.”
"Why don't you see him get the first prize in the exam!" Princess Jiaxiang was even more disgusted. "In the past, the old lady's family heirlooms used to praise her for her knowledge! Now her knowledge is in prison! The Yao family is only praised by others.
That’s all! He is from the Duke’s palace, who can see him without saying a few words of praise!"
"So you don't even believe my words and think I'm falsely praising him?" the prince asked.
"I didn't say that." Princess Jiaxiang pouted, "Brother, look at what Yao Xiaozi looks like, he's so ugly!"
Both Queen Lu and the Crown Princess have met Yao Xu. Although Yao Xu's appearance is not as good as that of Du and Chen, he is also a tidy boy, and he is knowledgeable and extraordinarily free and easy. How can He Chuanbao be compared with Yao Xu?
Thousands of miles.
Empress Lu said, "It's true that he is not handsome, but his appearance is average."
Princess Jiaxiang said angrily, "Why do I, the legitimate princess, want to marry someone with average looks? If I want to marry, I want to marry someone who is talented in both civil and military affairs and has first-rate appearance!"
The prince asked, "Then do you prefer Lord Du or Chen Juren?"
Princess Jiaxiang pouted, "Look, the one named Du was beaten into a pig's head, and the one named Chen is just a man of merit."
Not to mention Li Erlang, he is not as good as these three people, and he is even less likely to fall in the eyes of Princess Jiaxiang.
So, Princess Jiaxiang didn't like any of them.
The prince advised her, "No one is perfect, and everything is good everywhere in the world. To tell you the truth, in order to choose a prince-in-law for you and Jiayue, my father and my grandmother arranged for all the unmarried men in the capital to be between seventeen and under thirty years old."
The sons of the nobles all made a list and picked them one by one, but those who had shortcomings were all rejected. The four of them are extremely outstanding among the younger generation. If you think about it carefully, you can't like any of them? "
"Among the four of them, Mr. Du is slightly older and has a serious background. Even if he is not the number one scholar, he is no worse than the number one scholar. Chen Juren is younger and will be in spring next year. I read his article and there is hope for spring. Yao Xu and Li Erlang
They are all children of a wealthy family. The wealthy family has never taken the road of scientific examination, but their articles are not bad. They are not yet in the most popular positions, just because they are young. Among young people of the same age, there is no one better than them."
The prince said, "If you don't choose today, it will be difficult to find someone like this in the future."
Princess Jiaxiang said, "I don't believe there are no good ones!"
Princess Jiaxiang was so stubborn that the dinner at Fengyi Palace was not finished, so the prince took the princess back to the East Palace first. The prince was very angry. Regardless of family background, character, talent, these four people were already one out of ten thousand, no matter who was doing it
The consort is worthy of the princess, the prince is also very willing, and it is also beneficial to the East Palace.
I don't want this sister to be so ignorant!
The prince also frowned deeply. He first poured the prince a cup of tea and advised her, "I think it's better to persuade my sister slowly. After all, it's a life-long event. It would be a pity to miss such an opportunity."
"If she had been willing to listen to others' advice, she wouldn't have such a ungrateful temper." The prince sighed, "Although she is a legitimate princess, she has never been as gentle as sister Jiayue. If her ability is as strong as her pampering, then that's fine, but she is.
You are both pampered and incompetent. Opportunities like this don't come around all the time."
Huifei Palace.
Unlike Princess Jiaxiang, who didn't like anyone, Princess Jiayue couldn't bear the shame, her cheeks were red, and she lowered her head and said nothing. Concubine Hui smiled, "Which one have you fallen in love with? Just tell me, I will talk to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother
Just tell me and I will make it happen as you wish."
Princess Jiayue asked in a low voice, "Which one do you think is better, concubine?"
"This is your life-long event. You have to make your own decision. I think all of them are good and can be called talents." Concubine Hui took her daughter's hand and said, "Your father and your emperor's grandmother had a big problem.
Kung Fu has chosen the princes-in-law for you. These four people are all top-notch in the world in terms of their background, character, and talents. It doesn’t matter which one you like, they are all good."
Princess Jiayue was a little embarrassed, "Mother, concubine, I have something I shouldn't ask."
"What's the matter?" Concubine Hui asked patiently.
Princess Jiayue held back her shame and said, "These four young masters are all good. I just want to ask, has General Lin, who is competing with Master Du, ever been married?"
Concubine Hui was stunned. Could it be that her daughter did not fall in love with the four consort candidates, but instead fell in love with General Lin.
Concubine Hui looked at her daughter, "Do you like General Lin?"
"I think General Lin is very good at martial arts." Princess Jiayue whispered, "If it's not good, forget it. In fact, those four young masters are also very good."
Concubine Hui has only one daughter, and this is a life-long matter for her daughter. As a mother, her daughter is not ignorant, and she is always willing to fulfill her wishes. Concubine Hui said, "I see that General Lin is not young, so I am afraid of him."
Already married."
"If that's the case, please don't mention this matter again. I can't break up the couple." Princess Jiayue said quickly. After thinking about it, she finally felt that something was wrong and said, "It's better not to ask about it. My father, the emperor and my grandmother kindly chose these four.
He is a young master and a first-class talent. It would be bad if the general already has a wife."
Concubine Hui thought carefully and said, "It's rare that you have a crush on someone. We are just asking around. They seem to be in their mid-twenties. As you said, if they have already married and started a business, we can't mention them. If they haven't yet
If you want to marry a wife, I think if he can be by your father's side, he will definitely be of great importance."
Concubine Hui knew that her natal family was not prominent because she followed His Majesty early in the season and gave birth to his eldest daughter. However, because of this, she had nothing to do with any parties. When choosing a husband for her daughter, she had no choice but to do so.
