Chapter 37 Famous

"Xuan Xu Jinghong entered the dynasty--"

"Xuan Xu Jinghong entered the court--" with a long tone of shouting came all the way from the Zhongji Hall to the outside of the palace gate. In the enviable eyes of many officials waiting outside, Xu Jinghong walked to the palace gate with his head held high. At this moment, his heart somehow felt some tension. Obviously, because this was related to his future development, coupled with the invisible pressure given to him by the towering palace, even if he thought that it was not a big deal to see the emperor, he could not contain the excitement in his heart.

Although it was the first time to enter the palace of the Song Dynasty without any guidance, Xu Jinghong did not go in the wrong direction. Because the road from the Huiji Gate to the Zhongji Hall is full of energetic imperial troops, just follow their team. When he came to the high ladder, Xu Jinghong took a deep breath before stepping up. His heart was ready to face any problems.

Entering the hall, Xu Jinghong arched his hand and saluted the man on the high throne: "The Southwest Army Squadron is Xu Jinghong meeting the emperor! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" He did not kneel down and salute like the emperor in a film and television drama, but asked from Wang Liehai. He knew that the emperor and minister of the Song Dynasty did not like this kind of servile behavior, which made Xu Jinghong very happy. If he was allowed to kneel down to a person he did not know like this, even if the other party was the emperor, he would feel awkward.

In fact, this is also Xu Jinghong's idea of being influenced by some film and television dramas of later generations and taken things for granted. In the history of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, the etiquette between monarchs and ministers has not been so different. They have to kneel down when they meet. Most of the status among monarchs and ministers is still similar. As long as they arch their hands to salute, and most of them can still sit down and talk about politics. It was not until the Manchus entered the customs and regarded our Han courtiers as slaves that the ceremony of kneeling became popular. And this Song Dynasty, which came out of thin air, is naturally impossible to follow such rules as those ignorant and stupid bastards.

"Xu Qing is flat!" The emperor said with a smile. Then, when his eyes fell on Xu Jinghong's face and saw his face clearly, the smile froze on his face. At the same time, some old ministers who were looking at the teenager also showed strange expressions on their faces, and everyone had an idea in their hearts: "This is really too similar. He is really like that person..."

Even if 30 years have passed, even if the man has already died and even the descendants have not left, the ministers in the court still remember this man's name - Feng Liekong. A god-like existence in the Song army, the first person in the army who won a great victory with 5,000 pairs of Hu cavalry.

Now, this almost identical face appears on the hall, which can't help but have a great impact on everyone. For a moment, everyone went back to the time when 30 years ago, when the man was still in power in the court.

In the case that those high-ranking people are a little distracted, the people below dare not speak casually. In the end, Zhao Zhe reacted the fastest. After quickly driving away the strange feeling in his heart, he smiled and said to Xu Jinghong, "How old is Xu Qing now? In my opinion, you can't be the weak crown, can you?"

"Your Majesty clearly sees that I am only 17 years old this year!" Xu Jinghong said his age without any cowardice. This made others exclaim again. Although heroes have been young since ancient times, there are really such young heroes, and when they will be on an equal footing with themselves, many ministers are still full of unwillingness.

"I heard that you have made many achievements in the southwest, and this time under your overall command, the evil forces in Daliang City will be destroyed, but what's the matter?"

"I dare not hide it from Your Majesty. Everything is true!" Xu Jinghong still replied in a peaceful voice.

"I'm afraid not necessarily." At this time, a discordant voice sounded, which was Gongsun Yuan, who had doubts about Xu Jinghong before. He looked up and down rudely before he continued, "You are only 20 years old, and you were even less famous before, but you suddenly emerged in just two years, which is hard to convince people. Your Majesty, I still think that his so-called contributions are just made by someone helping him. With his own ability, it is impossible to make this series of contributions! I would like to ask your majesty to order this thief who bullied you and torture him!"

I didn't expect that Gongsun Yuanyi not only denied everything, but also shouted to kill, which surprised other ministers around him. However, his words also attracted the unanimous approval of many allies, and many people immediately began to agree: "Lord Gongsun is right. It is impossible for this son to achieve such credit regardless of age or resume. He must have stolen the achievements of others. Your Majesty, please order him to drive him out!"

Seeing that everyone attacked Xu Jinghong indiscriminately, even the emperor and everyone was very angry. Immediately, some people of the Xu family and the ministers who were instructed by the emperor to help Xu Jinghong come out to speak for him. But before they stood up, Xu Jinghong, who was in the forefront of the storm, reacted first. He actually laughed loudly in this situation: "Hahahaha...haha..."

This strange behavior made everyone in the hall stunned. Even those who wanted to continue to attack and want to speak and maintain stopped and looked at him with surprised eyes. I don't know what kind of madness this teenager was.

After laughing for a long time, Xu Jinghong stopped laughing, and then glanced at the officials who attacked him like an idiot and said in a disdainful tone, "It's really ignorant. It's really sad that such an ignorant person can be in the court!"

When he was attacked by these people, Xu Jinghong had made up his mind to counterattack! It has always been his habit to be beaten passively. Whether on the battlefield or in officialdom, the best way to defeat the enemy is sharp attack. He decided to defeat these future enemies with the sharpest attack, so that they dare not despise themselves in the future.

"Bold!" His words aroused the anger of the ministers, and many people who did not join the camp to condemn and question him just now also said: "Be presumptuous! This is the court, but it's not your barracks. How dare you talk like this!"

The sound of scolding is endless, as if Xu Jinghong is about to drown out now. But Xu Jinghong did not panic. He just continued to stare at these people with contemptuous eyes, and then said, "What, am I wrong? Isn't it ignorant enough that these people don't have the ability to check me and don't ask me a word and say that my achievements are false?

Although his voice was not very loud, because of the use of internal force, he easily suppressed the scolding of others present, leaving only Xu Jinghong's voice in the hall to be heard. As soon as this hand came out, it immediately surprised the ministers in the palace. They gradually stopped talking, and a trace of fear appeared on their faces.

"Xu Jinghong, you said that your credit is true, but I don't have such a young person to make such a contribution. From this point of view, their suspicions are reasonable. Do you have any evidence to prove that those contributions are indeed for you? At this time, Ye Mingyang opened his mouth, and it could be seen from his words that he was helping those families.

Because of Ye Hao, the Ye family and Xu Jinghong are still a little uncomfortable, but they are not in an endless situation. But Ye Mingyang will not let go of such an opportunity to attack Xu Jinghong. Naturally, it is extremely important to say this in his capacity.

"Mom, can't you follow the rules of who questions and who takes evidence?" Xu Jinghong cursed in his heart, but his face was still very peaceful: "There is also some truth in what this adult said, and I really can't come up with evidence in court. Although I was in the middle of the capital, the soldiers below also did their best. And the war in the southwest, unless Marshal Wang is invited, you must be unbelievable!" There is a little bit of ridiculing in his words.

But those who want to drive him away don't care about his sarcasm, but just say, "It seems that you are also self-aware. Knowing that your credit is really unbelievable, then consciously leave!"

"Although I can agree with everyone, I can't agree with one thing!" Xu Jinghong didn't wait for them to pull out the topic again, so he said first: "Who stipulates that a person's ability and merit should be consistent with his age and origin? Although I am only 17 years old, I rely on my real ability to make achievements in the army, but I was killed with a knife and one shot. Unlike some people, I stole a high position under the shade of my ancestors. In fact, I don't have any ability to speak of! And since ancient times, there have been countless teenagers with great talents. Qin Zhiluo, Wu Zhizhou Yu, Shu Kong Ming, they are also young and famous. Why does no one question their ability and contributions?

Quiet! The atmosphere in the hall suddenly calmed down. No one thought that Xu Jinghong's words would be so sharp. Unexpectedly, he blocked back all the other party's doubts about himself and mocked some people by the way. This embarrassing scene made the children of the family in the temple unable to be angry, so they could only hold it in their hearts and almost had internal injuries.

"What a sharp tongue! But this is not what can prove your ability!" Fang Yuanshan said to the emperor after a cold hum, "Your Majesty, in fact, it is very simple to determine whether this son has the ability."

"Oh, but why?" The emperor was very satisfied with Xu Jinghong's performance and had more confidence in him. Seeing that Fang Yuanshan still didn't believe in evil, he simply let him make a fool of himself again.

"That's to try his martial arts. What the army pays attention to is to convince people with martial arts. If he is really as he said, this martial arts must be extremely skillful, so that ministers naturally have nothing to say. So please allow me to wait in the square outside the palace to consider his martial arts!" Fang Yuanshan gave his own method. In fact, he had prepared for this strategy long ago, in order to take this opportunity to remove Xu Jinghong's eye thorns!
