Great Blue Night Watchman

The emperor raised his glass and drank.

Jinshi raised his glass and he drank too.

Prime Minister Lu Tian raised his glass from Dai Baiguan, but he still drank.

Smiling faces the whole time, speechless the whole time.

In the middle of the drink, someone suddenly came in to pay homage: Your Majesty, Special Envoy Ohsumi is here!

Special envoy Osumi? The wine glass in Lin Jialiang's hand swayed slightly. Today is the Jinshi Banquet. All state activities should not be held today...

His Majesty said with a smile: Today Da Cang Jinshi are gathered together, just in time for Da Yu to have a look at the style of our country's younger generation. Summon!

So that’s it, a lot of people understand.

When communicating with other countries, it is sometimes necessary to show strength, so as not to be looked down upon and have some bad ideas. Today, when the hall is full of Jinshi, all of them are vigorous and vigorous, I will let the special envoy of Osumi Kingdom take a look. has a profound foundation.

Special Envoy Ohsumi paid an audience...

Following the eunuch's voice, three people walked over from the end of the red carpet in the Golden Palace.

One was an old man with a golden cane in his hand, one was a young scribe, and another was a man who looked like a military general. The three of them strolled up to the hall, put their hands on their chests, and bowed deeply: Special envoy Gumi of Dashu, pay homage to Da Cang. Your Majesty, the Emperor, hereby submits our Emperor’s Credentials.”

The emperor waved his hand lightly: Bring up the certificate of credence.

The person next to him took the golden letter of credence and brought it to the emperor. The emperor opened it and his brows suddenly shrank: The king of your country wants me to hand over the real culprit who killed the seventh prince? And it is limited to ten days?

The special envoy Gumi bowed: Reporting to Your Majesty, the letter of credence was written three days ago. Three days have passed, and now there are only seven days left! We have to exclude the time for the return trip. Your Majesty is only valid for four days!

Everyone was furious, and this contemptuous gesture was a slap in the face of the whole world.

The emperor suppressed his anger: What if we don't hand over...?

The special envoy said: The troops are sent to the four towns, and the sword is pointed at the Central Plains!

Eight big characters, everyone in the palace was shocked.

Insolent! A roar came from the courtiers. A majestic minister stood up, but it was Zhang Wenyuan, Minister of the Ministry of War. Zhang Wenyuan said sternly: Special Envoy Gumi, there is no evidence to prove that the seventh prince was killed by someone from our country. It is unreasonable for your Majesty to write a letter of credence and ask my Emperor to make friends with you!

Exactly! A bunch of people agreed, Ohsumi is so domineering and rude.

Confucius said, a superior man will not take judgment out of thin air...

The Master said...

The special envoy said: His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince had an argument with the Number One Scholar in person and killed him in person. Your country has been investigating such a simple murder case for half a month and still can't find out? Is it because of poor ability or deliberate cover-up? Our Emperor said, If your country can't find out, I, Dayu, can definitely find out and hand over the champion!

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was silent. All the ministers who were eloquent just now were silent at the same time.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Su, who was sipping wine with her head down, as if she hadn't heard the argument at all.

Suddenly a voice came from above, but it was King Nan who stood up suddenly: No!

There were only two words, but the sound shocked the whole hall.

The general beside the special envoy suddenly raised his head and looked at King Nan. His expression changed. He was a martial artist. He knew who the speaker was. In the entire Cang Dynasty, he was the most powerful king with a different surname. This reckless man Why did it suddenly jump out?

The special envoy said: The murderer must pay his life, and the debtor should pay his money. It is only natural! Faced with the great conflict between the two countries' weapons, the prince jumped out and wanted to protect the murderer, ignoring the weapons of the two countries. May I ask, my prince, what are you doing? ?”

King Nan has veins popping out on his forehead, how can he make any sense? He didn't understand this at all. He only knew that the number one scholar in front of him was his son-in-law and there was no way he would be brought into Dayu.

His Majesty the Emperor raised his hand gently: Don't say too much, King Nan!

King Nan gasped: No!

Still two words.

His Majesty turned to Lin Su: Master Zhuangyuan, please tell me...

Lin Su stood up and bowed: Since Your Majesty wants me to speak, I have no choice but to speak... Special envoy, I actually don't want to talk to you. Do you know why?

The special envoy stared at him and said coldly: Because you have no defense at all!

No, I just don't dare to argue with you. I had an argument with the Seventh Prince before. He died and you said I killed him. But now, if I argue with you, the three of you will leave the Golden Palace Gate. If he died unexpectedly, wouldn't the murderer be me, Lin Su again?

The whole place was in an uproar, what are these words?

The special envoy's face suddenly darkened: What do you want to do? Kill the envoy?

I really doubt whether you people in Osumi can read. What I'm talking about is if...do you know what if means? If you don't learn and have no skills, you can be a special envoy. Jane is really embarrassed!

The special envoy was furious, but he had to admit that I have never learned how to talk to street scoundrels. This is just the routine of street scoundrels: You...

Lin Su interrupted directly: For people like you, I don't want to talk nonsense. I will only say it once. If you understand, you can stay silent. If you don't understand, you can continue to ask questions, but please forgive me for not explaining...

The special envoy was a little confused and looked at him blankly...

I do have disputes with the Seventh Prince, but having a dispute does not mean that I will kill him. Killing requires evidence. In view of your IQ, I can explain to you in detail what evidence is. Seeing the murderer kill with your own eyes It is a witness, the murder weapon is, and the unique technique of killing is, and it is not evidence to testify based on speculation! Do you understand?

The special envoy's face was green and black, and he was full of anger. However, he still kept his identity in mind and suddenly turned his head to His Majesty: Your Majesty, I don't bother to argue with this rogue. I only want to ask Your Majesty, the prince of my country. When entering your country, does your country have any responsibility for security protection?”

The emperor was silent.

Countries have a common practice that when diplomatic personnel enter a country, the country is responsible for security protection. This is an ironclad rule. How to argue?

Lin Su spoke: Special envoy, you haven't figured out one thing yet. When the seventh prince of your country comes to Beijing, our country should provide protection. At that time, we had already negotiated with the seventh prince to replace the guards around him with Da Cang Jin. Wei, the seventh prince does not trust the people of Da Cang and insists on using the guards he brought from Dayu. Please tell me, the seventh prince himself refused the protection of his country and sought death. Who should bear the responsibility?

Exactly! Yin Yuying, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, stood up in one step: When the Japanese officials negotiated with the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince insisted on not using the Da Cang Imperial Guard. Who is to blame? You...

His voice suddenly paused because he saw the Prime Minister's eyes signaling him to shut up.

But this voice immediately echoed in the Jinshi camp below.

Li Xiaotian added a very lethal sentence. I was also on the scene at the time. I saw with my own eyes that when the seventh prince died, the three guards around him looked abnormal. It was very likely that they were the ones who killed him... Could it be that if you, Prince Osumi, compete for the throne, will you? When other princes use the help of their guards to plot against the seventh prince, do they also need their country's number one scholar to be buried?

The special envoy's face was ashen: Your Majesty, here is the letter of our emperor's credentials. Whether it is war or peace, please do as you wish!

All sounds were completely still.

When such a big killer suddenly appears, who dares to say anything? The weapons of the two countries are fighting together, and the lives are being slaughtered. No one dares to bear the crime of triggering the war between the two countries...

Lin Jialiang and others were worried. Did His Majesty really want to hand him over? One person in exchange for peace between two countries? This kind of thing has happened before.

Zhang Wenyuan spoke: Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. It is better to let Lin Su go to Dayu as our country's envoy to find out the matter.

His Majesty's eyes lit up.

Zhao Xun and others were also very excited. This move was so wonderful, so wonderful.

On the one hand, in order not to damage the prestige of Da Cang, they did not hand over the Number One Scholar, but appointed the Number One Scholar as an envoy to go to Dayu to discuss state affairs. But of course everyone knew that Lin Su would definitely die if he entered Dayu, killing two birds with one stone!

King Nan's eyes bulged, but he couldn't say anything.

Lin Jialiang was shaking with anger, but he had received strict orders from Lin Su not to say a word at the Jinshi banquet today, and he did not dare to say a word.

His Majesty's eyes moved to Lin Su: Master Zhuangyuan, what do you think of the ministers' proposal?

Lin Sudao: Master Zhang is far-sighted and his proposal is certainly good, but I also have a plan to offer to Your Majesty. This plan may be better.

Oh? Daolai!

Lin Sudao: Da Yu occupies the four towns in the north of us. Naturally, he is the sworn enemy of Da Cang. The strategy to deal with the enemy is to strike first and be stronger. According to my opinion, we don't have to wait for Da Yu to send troops to the four towns. We can directly march out of Longcheng. Seize Qiyang Pass, detour around Doufang Mountain, Liehuo Valley, and Dadu River, surround the four northern towns from the rear, and kill all the desolate slaves in the four towns! This will prevent them from making trouble with the four towns.

As soon as these words came out, not to mention that everyone in the court was shocked, even His Majesty was shocked.

Zhang Wenyuan angrily scolded: Young-haired kid, you are talking nonsense. How can military and national affairs be trivial? Shut up!

Lin Sudao: Your Majesty asked me to speak, Master Zhang told me to shut up? Excuse me, who should I listen to?

Zhang Wenyuan's expression changed drastically and he did not dare to speak any more.

King Nan suddenly stood up: If no one from the four northern towns dares to send troops, I will send troops!

The whole audience was shocked. This was the second time that King Nan stood up.

Did this reckless man take the wrong medicine today?

Lin Su smiled slightly: The Southern King is unparalleled in his loyalty and bravery. I have heard about it for a long time. When I saw it today, I really deserve it! However, in the small area of ​​​​the four towns, there is no need for the Nanwang's iron horses and strong soldiers to travel thousands of miles. I have another official. If there is a strategy, we may be able to see results faster.”

What's the plan? King Nan was very sensible.

Lin Sudao: There are more than 400 newly promoted Jinshi who should make contributions to the country. I will apply to Your Majesty on their behalf to go to the border town to hunt the slaves of Dashuhuang. They will kill a thousand people. They can be promoted to one level and kill ten thousand people. , be promoted to three levels in a row, truly open up the path forward in the officialdom, and use this as an example to prevent new entrants into the officialdom from not thinking about the country's favor and making progress.

As soon as this suggestion came out, all the ministers in the court looked at each other.

If you want to be an official, you must first kill your enemies? Do you want to become a precedent?

You may want to refute it, but you really can’t refute it. His suggestion is to protect the country’s borders. His suggestion is to let officials cultivate loyalty to the country. He has great justice. Whoever defends is wrong...

The Jinshi below is even more MMP. I want to be an official, not to protect the border. If you want to go crazy, go on your own. Why are you dragging us all along?

Lin Jialiang couldn't help it anymore and knelt down: I wish to be the first to go to the battlefield.

Li Xiaotian also knelt down and said, I would like to submit my proposal to become the number one scholar!

Zhang Haoran, Huo Qi and several others knelt down at the same time: I second the proposal...

Suddenly, the court was filled with people asking for a fight...

The most important thing is that everyone likes the reward Lin Su proposed. If you kill a thousand enemies, you will be promoted to one level. If you kill 10,000 enemies, you will be promoted to three levels in a row. For young people who have just entered the officialdom, who doesn’t want to upgrade?

The emperor was also very excited. He didn't expect that in the past, in border affairs, a bunch of ministers would always negotiate for peace. Today, they have gone against the grain. He still likes this kind of rebellion. He is the emperor, and to keep the border is to keep the throne. , No matter how much he dislikes these people in front of him on other issues, he still prefers this group of young people on this issue.

Special Envoy Ohsumi's eyes widened, and his heart was filled with confusion...

What's going on here? Wherever he goes, as long as he mentions the troops coming out of the four towns, all the officials will shut up and their attitudes will change. No matter what excessive demands are, they will always be met. This has long been common for Da Cang, but today, when he mentioned the four Town, it actually made the whole palace of Jinshi feel like they were given blood, and everyone wanted to start the war as soon as possible...

The script has changed...

The young scribe next to him stepped forward: How dare a bunch of chickens dare to utter arrogant words and kill my million-strong army? Come, come and see the top literati of the Great Cang Kingdom for yourself.

Who are you?

The young scribe bowed slightly to His Majesty: Your Majesty, Emperor Da Cang, I am Li Qizhong, a Jinshi from Dashu. I have not yet been able to win the number one, second place, and third overall. Today, I challenge you, Da Cang, to be the number one scholar. I don't know if it is in compliance with the rules. ?”

The emperor turned his attention to Lu Tiancong, who took a step forward and said, The battle of literati has always been a literary legend. How can it be against the rules? I wonder how Li Jinshi wants to challenge it?

Li Qizhong said: The champion said that the Iron-blooded Army of Dayu is vulnerable to a single blow, so I competed with him as a great Confucian to let him understand that even if he is a scholar, Dayu is far from comparable to Dayu.

Direct fight?

Everyone was excited. After being awarded the title of Jinshi, they would be the Great Confucians. They actually wanted to know how powerful the Great Confucians were, but at present, they had only just become familiar with the Great Confucian's combat capabilities, and they had not yet integrated, let alone actual combat.

Zhuangyuanlang, this Li Jinshi has challenged you by name. Do you accept the challenge? Lu Tian followed.

Lin Su smiled faintly: Since it is a roll call challenge, what reason do I have to refuse? And how can I refuse? Accept it!

Since it is a battle, there may be injuries. This is a document of war. Life or death depends on one's ability. Do you dare to sign it? Li Qizhong raised his hand, and a gold paper contract appeared in his palm.

With a shout, Li Xiaotian appeared in front of Lin Su, and Lin Jialiang arrived shortly after, both of them looking extremely serious.

Brother Lin, the battle documents have been written in advance. This person comes with bad intentions. How about I take the lead? Li Xiaotian said.

Third brother, be careful. This person may have some trump cards. Don't rush into a life-or-death fight. It was Lin Jialiang's message.

Lin Su stared at Li Qizhong for a long time and said slowly: Bring it here!
