Chapter 369: A large wave of rivals is coming
After reading these three "history books", Bai Sheng had already guessed Lin Lingsu's intention of "learning history", so with the help of Concubine Wei Xian, he quietly put these three volumes of files back to the Shenxiao Ning Temple, along with the "Yin and Yang Double Cultivation Atlas".
When it comes to who has the most eyes and ears in the harem? Concubine Wei Xian is second to none.
After Lin Lingsu escorted back to the palace, he found that there were four books missing, and after asking Concubine Wei Xian, and being hindered twice by Bai Sheng, he finally couldn't help but go to Zhao Ji.
Lin Lingsu looked for Zhao Ji because he wanted to ask for leave, he wanted to go to Jiangnan. Bai Sheng took advantage of this opportunity to order Hu Sanniang to pretend to be a palace maid and put the four books back in the Condensing Temple.
Of course, Zhao Ji will not allow Lin Lingsu to be fake, because the army is about to march west, Tong Guan is about to leave Beijing, and Huang Sheng is far away in Jiankang Mansion, if you Lin Lingsu leaves again, who will protect my safety?
Lin Lingsu insisted on leaving, but he had to save enough face for the emperor to go back temporarily.
In this era, no matter who asks the emperor to do something but is not approved, he can only apply again after a period of time, just like the starting point of the author of later generations to apply for a contract, otherwise it will be like forcing the palace, which is a crime of great rebellion.
Lin Lingsu returned to the Condensing Temple and found that the four books had been found, so he temporarily put aside his plan to go to Jiangnan.
Of course, Bai Sheng didn't know that the reason why Lin Lingsu was eager to go to Jiangnan was actually because Lin Lingsu's goal was "Hetu Luoshu".
What he didn't know was that Lin Lingsu suspected that the "Hetuluo Book" was worried that the person who had robbed Fang Pang's second daughter would land on the empty island first.
He couldn't summarize the clues that the "Hetuluo Book" might be on the Trap Island in the three volumes, because he only read these three volumes.
And Lin Lingsu has far more than these three volumes of documents in the palace cabinet library, so Lin Lingsu can analyze that the "Hetuluo Book" may be on the Trap Island.
Lin Lingsu believes that since these four books have been found, it means that the person who robbed Fang Pang's second daughter has no interest in these historical materials, so he does not need to rush to ask for leave, and it is not too late to ask for Tong Guanxi's return to Bianjing.
For Bai Sheng, stabilizing Lin Lingsu was a temporary trouble, but there were far more troubles that made him unhappy.
On the occasion of Zhao Ji's restoration of the early dynasty, Cai Jing proposed to Zhao Ji, and the object of the proposal was Zhao Fujin, the concubine of Emperor Maode.
Of course, Cai Jing will not courtship Bai Sheng, Bai Sheng has been abolished, not only is his siblings ruined, but it is also said that his face is broken, because Bai Sheng is not only in a wheelchair, he also wears a bronze mask.
It is said that this bronze mask was given to Bai Sheng by Di Lie, and it is the heirloom of Wansheng Boxing Gym - this is the bronze mask that Di Qing wore when he was stationed in the western region and fought against the Western Xia.
Back then, Di Qing, who had just joined the Song Army, was often regarded as weak by his comrades-in-arms because of his extremely handsome face, and if he was left in the future, he was afraid that he would be labeled as a "pseudo-mother".
Who wants to be a comrade-in-arms with the puppet Niang to fight side by side? So at first, Di Qing's comrades-in-arms thought that when fighting against the enemy, Di Qing played a role in lowering their own morale, even if Di Qing killed not many people when they actually fought.
It's just a matter of lowering your own morale, the problem is that he also increases the morale of your enemies. Because those brave Western Xia soldiers would be more courageous when they saw Di Qing's face.
The reason is very simple, no matter ancient or modern, no matter who it is, whether it is a fight or a fight to the death, no one will be afraid of a pseudo-girl.
Therefore, Di Qing was forced to put on a hideous bronze mask, and it didn't matter if he put on this mask, it could be said that it had an immediate effect! The enemy went from taking the initiative to fight with him to fighting against him to fighting against him.
Originally, Di Qing's martial arts were among the best in the Song army at that time, and coupled with such a vicious and hideous mask, it quickly made the Western Xia people remember his existence.
At this time, it is so legendary, Di Qing killed fewer enemies when he wore a mask than when he did not wear a mask, but the Tangut people could only remember him when he wore a mask, and the Tangut people also gave him a nickname, called Di Angel.
It is said that not only did the Western Xia people at that time be in awe of Di Qing, but even the Japanese devils of later generations worshiped Di Qing as the Chinese god of war.
Now Di Lie has given this mask to Bai Sheng, and the reason for this is naturally only known to Di Lie and Bai Sheng, but in the eyes of outsiders, there are two theories.
The first theory is that Bai Sheng lost to Yang Zhi in the martial arts competition, and felt that he had no face to see people, so he put on a mask;
The second theory is the one mentioned earlier, saying that Bai Sheng injured his face when the test gun exploded, and he was already ugly at this time, so he could only wear a mask to cover it.
No one will compare Bai Sheng at this time with Di Angel, the god of war seventy years ago, Di Qing only wore a mask when he went to the battlefield, but Bai Sheng wore a mask in Bianjing City, how could he talk about the same day?
It's just that no matter which statement is true, if Bai Sheng can still marry Emperor Maode as his wife, no one in the world believes in this matter.
How could Emperor Maude marry such a Bai Sheng?
Therefore, Cai Jing came to propose marriage, only for his fifth son Cai Ying.
Cai Yan is a jinshi in the last liberal arts examination, an official to the Xuanhe Palace, a five-grade official, and he is still a single dog. Although he is one year older than Zhao Ji, he is very in line with Zhao Ji's concept of choosing a son-in-law.
Zhao Ji had already told Bai Sheng about his criteria for choosing a son-in-law when he was in Fan Lou before, either you are a high school jinshi, or you have become recognized as the first in the Great Song Dynasty in the talents of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, otherwise don't think about it.
Cai Yan is a jinshi, with a good appearance and an elegant temperament. The so-called poetry and calligraphy are self-explanatory, and they are talking about players like Cai Ying. Therefore, Cai Yan is in line with Zhao Ji's requirements.
Even if it is left in later generations, Cai Yan is also the fifth diamond king that women compete for. Because people have academic qualifications, diplomas, cars, houses, savings, and a legitimate job!
What's the point of being a little older? When you're old, you know how to hurt people, don't you?
However, just when Zhao Ji wanted to agree to this marriage, a competitor appeared, and there was more than one.
The first was Zhou Bangyan, who proposed marriage for his son Zhou Qin and asked to marry Emperor Maode.
Zhou Bangyan was promoted by the Dasheng Mansion, and his official rank was similar to that of Bai Sheng's Imperial Medical Bureau, but the importance was different. Dasheng Mansion is basically equivalent to the president of the Central Conservatory of Music in later generations.
Although Zhou Qin is not a scholar or an official, he is in his youth, suave and graceful, and is known for his poetry and literary talent in Beijing. Zhou Bangyan claimed that his son could win the first place in the February 2nd Yuan Xi Poetry Society, and accordingly competed with others for Zhao Fujin.
Zhao Ji did not comment on Zhou Bangyan's proposal, and only said that he would wait until the poetry meeting won the first place.
The second is Sun Fu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Sun Fu is proposing marriage for Chen Dong.
Chen Dong is now just a student cadre in Taixue who is similar to the student president of later generations, and his academic background is a tribute student, and he has one less qualification to be on the list of palace exams than Jinshi.
Zhao Ji immediately vetoed it, this Chen Dong is not good, and the hardware standards are not met.
Sun Fu said that there is a car in front and a rut in the back, since Zhou Qin can go to the first place in the poetry club, why can't Chen Dong?
Zhao Jixin said that anyone can get the first place in the poetry club? Zhou Qin is famous, but this Chen Dong only has a reputation of not knowing how to be flexible and not knowing how to get along with others, how can he be compared?
But he didn't want to lose Sun Fu's face, so he said that you should let Chen Dong go to the poetry meeting.
In addition to these two competitors, there are two other competitors who recommended themselves to marry themselves. These two are the youngest Jinshi of the dynasty, one is Qin Hui and the other is Zhang Bangchang.
Qin Hui has an official position, is listed in the imperial history, and there is naturally nothing wrong with his appearance, there is no need to compare with the two Zhou Qin and Chen Dong who have no education, he is also in line with the emperor's criteria for choosing a son-in-law. And compared to Cai Ying, he is more than ten years younger.
Zhang Bangchang is nine years older than Qin Hui, five or six years younger than Cai Hui, the official to the subordinate servant, is a big official from the third grade, older than Cai Ying and Qin Hui's officials, he is the backbone of Wang Huang's family.
Zhao Ji is not optimistic about Zhang Bangchang, because he has just encountered a plot in Wang Hao's house, but this kind of thing is not easy to announce.
He prefers Qin Hui more, because Qin Hui is very good at doing things. But even if he liked Qin Hui, he couldn't agree on the spot, because it was tantamount to directly slapping Cai Jing's old face.
He didn't expect that there would be five marriage proposals at the same time, although the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married, but the market of Emperor Maode is too bullish, isn't it?
So he asked, "Do you Aiqing still want to propose?" ”
Of course, Bai Sheng, as a promoter of the Taiyi Bureau, also had to participate in the early dynasty, and what Zhao Ji asked was exactly what he wanted to ask, and he also wanted to know who else wanted to rob his wife.
Although he wore a mask and mutilated his limbs, Zhao Fujin was unswerving to him and moved him.
No matter who comes to propose, Zhao Fujin is my white victory!
