Ci Jinzhi Chapter 269

A few teenagers who were stopped in front were also familiar to Xinyou, it was Zhang Xu.

These few times he was brought into the palace, he met Zhang Shoufu and had private discussions with him twice, which shows that the man valued Zhang Shoufu.

 At this period, in terms of real power, the chief minister of the cabinet was not as powerful as the six ministers. But it is normal for a cabinet minister who can often talk secretly with the emperor to have a higher status in the hearts of officials and nobles.

 After meeting his grandfather and seeing his grandson again, Xin You's mentality towards Zhang Xu changed subtly.

 Seems like you are more tolerant of this person's childishness?

"Are you Xin Daizhao?" Zhang Xu held a fan in one hand and looked Xin You up and down.

 “Yes. You—”

 Zhang Xu straightened his body unconsciously, waiting for the other party to ask for his identity.

“Are you going to rob?” Xinyou asked calmly.

"Ahem, cough, cough." Zhang Xu coughed violently and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, who robbed you! Since you are Xin Daizhao, then we have not found the wrong person. Let me ask you, why are you pretending to be Mr. Songling?"

It was time to go to the Yamen, and the noise caused many officials to stop and listen with their ears pricked up.

"Why don't you speak?" Zhang Xu asked coldly.

The companions who followed him all laughed and said, "You must feel shameless to talk. I pretended to be Mr. Songling and claimed Mr. Songling's masterpiece as my own. I got into the Hanlin Academy on this basis. I have already used up my face. How can I come back?" The face speaks…”

 “Well said!” shouted a young man among the officials watching the excitement.

 The young man was a Jinshi in the new science and had just entered the Hanlin Academy to study. After studying hard for more than ten years, I squeezed into the single-plank bridge to get into the temple that many scholars have spent half their lives dreaming of. Just when the spring breeze brings glory to the ancestors, I find that someone has easily entered the same place with a borrowed name. How can I not be angry? , don't feel insulted.

 Don't say that the first queen adopted a son. The first queen has been away from the palace for many years. When the coffin comes to Beijing, it is still unknown whether he can be buried in the imperial mausoleum in the name of the queen.

Even if the emperor protects him, you must know that the wealthy families with a century-old family still don't think highly of this emperor who came from a grassroots family. There are also folk songs far away from the capital that make fun of the emperor.

To put it bluntly, it is difficult to stop everyone from talking, and even the emperor cannot kill everyone who talks.

The young man was not far from Hua Daizhao. Hua Daizhao couldn't help it: "They are all from the same yamen, how can you do this?"

 The young man sneered: "Shame on you!"

 Zhang Xu looked at the commotion, feeling a little confused.

what's the situation? Aren't they arguing with this guy who is just pretending to be a fake guy? Why are they still trying to steal the spotlight?

Ci Daizhao and the others quickly dragged Hua Daizhao away. When they were farther away from the place, Ci Daizhao asked in a low voice: "Brother Hua, why are you standing up for Xin Daizhao?"

Hua Daizhao was indignant: "I can't listen to these people's nonsense!"

Ci Daizhao turned around and pulled the fortune teller: "Brother Bu, please take a look at Brother Hua. Isn't he possessed by evil spirits?"

 Others did not pay attention to Hua Daizhao and others, and focused all their attention on Zhang Xu and Xin You.

 “Please give in,” Xin You said calmly.

 “You want to leave without telling me clearly?”

"What does this young master want me to say? Mr. Songling?" As soon as he mentioned Mr. Songling, Xin You saw that several young people, including Zhang Xu, became more and more excited.

　　　I really defend Mr. Songling.

This discovery made Xinyou a little sad.

She was not angry at all because of this rumor, and she was even more calm at this time: "I would like to ask some gentlemen, who wrote "Painted Skin"?"

 “Of course it's Mr. Songling.” Several teenagers said in unison.

 “What about Journey to the West?”

"Of course it's Mr. Songling, what are you talking about?" Zhang Xu looked impatient when facing the villain who pretended to be Mr. Songling.

Xin You still looked good-tempered: "Then do you know Mr. Songling's name?"

"Mr. Songling's name is—" Zhang Xu paused and was stunned by the question.

Xinyou asked the other teenagers: "Do you know?" The teenagers looked at each other and shook their heads.

Xin You smiled and said, "Look, the world doesn't know the taboo name of Mr. Songling, and my surname is Xin Mingmu. How can I pretend to be Mr. Songling?"

 Eh, that seems to make sense.

 Zhang Xu frowned.

This is not right, it has been bypassed.

“But everyone thinks Mr. Songling is you. Isn't this an imposter?” Zhang Xu reacted.

Xin You asked calmly: "Do you think Mr. Songling is me?"

 Those who heard it subconsciously shook their heads.

Of course not, otherwise how could they despise it.

"The reason why I have been given the post of Shuwaizhao today is not because I am Mr. Songling, but because I have remembered Mr. Songling's story and spread his story. I am not the one who wrote the book." "Book," but a "book" that tells stories, do you still think it's inappropriate?"

 Zhang Xu opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment to refute.

 A young man was unconvinced and said: "Then you are a storyteller, why do you want to enter the Hanlin Academy?"

 It is rare to write a book, how rare is it to be a storyteller?

Xin You looked at the questioning young man and smiled: "I saw that several of the young masters were wearing the uniforms of Imperial College students. They must be students of the Imperial College. I wonder if they are admitted to the Imperial College because they are very talented in reading, or because of their family background?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several young men became hot.

How come this guy doesn't open and pick up any pot?

When other people heard it, some were thoughtful and some were even more scornful.

In fact, everyone also understands that Xin Daizhao was admitted to the Imperial Academy not at all because of Mr. Songling's reputation, but because of his status as the adopted son of the late empress.

However, how can such a big truth be spoken openly?

“Young Master, please give way.”

After hearing this, Zhang Xu turned aside subconsciously and saw many people looking behind him with changed expressions.

 “Jinlinwei!”

A team of Jinlin Guards strode forward. The leader was a man in red clothes with a long sword. His cold face was as frosty as jade, and he was unparalleled in handsomeness. He was none other than He Qingxiao, the envoy of Jinlin Guards North Town.

Xin You watched He Qingxiao approach, her eyes intertwined with his for a moment, and then she saw his cold eyes falling on Zhang Xu.

 Zhang Xu frowned: "What are you going to do—"

"Take away those who are causing trouble in front of the six important places." He Qingxiao gave the order coldly before Zhang Xu could finish.

"yes."

 A group of Jinlin Guards came forward and held down Zhang Xu and others.

Zhang Xu's face changed drastically: "What are you going to do, He? My grandfather is the chief minister of the cabinet!"

He Qingxiao looked at him expressionlessly: "Then don't worry, if your grandfather doesn't know about it, he won't take your grandfather away too."

After saying this, He Qingxiao nodded slightly to Xin You, turned around and left, letting Zhang Xu, who was being escorted behind, curse loudly.

 In the blink of an eye, the young men who came to make a fuss were taken away, leaving only the spectators dumbfounded.

Jin Linwei is crazy, are you going to arrest him now?

As soon as Xin You turned around, the officials who were slightly closer to her retreated in horror.

 Don't mess with me!

Xin You frowned slightly and thought as he walked: What is the real purpose of Mr. He arresting people in such a big way?

After she walked away, the stunned officials finally came to their senses, and someone shouted angrily: "Jin Linwei's behavior is no different from that of a wolf dog!" (End of this chapter)
