The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 321
[Chapter 321: King Anding’s Gift]
After saying this, Lin Tian lowered his head and smiled.
He naturally couldn’t have any objections. After all, if he refused, he might be caught by these people and say something!
Besides, he didn’t want to live with the name of a idiot. He didn’t refuse the prodigal son or the playboy, but such an idiot was really insulting to his IQ!
It also caused him to be unable to do many things freely.
“It is said that Minister Lin was ignorant when he was in Liangzhou City before? I wonder what kind of results Minister Lin is going to show in this palace examination?”
Luo Xiang did not hide his intention to look down on Lin Tian at all, and immediately made a sarcastic remark. As
soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became extremely awkward.
Although his words were also the doubts in the hearts of many people, no one dared to ask so blatantly.
After all, Lin Tian is not a playboy now, but Minister Lin who is very trusted by the emperor, not to mention that he now has another identity.
The disciple of Mr. Yang who won three consecutive championships!
“Lord Luo may have gone too far.”
Several people who had received favors from Yang Sheng whispered.
They knew that Yang Sheng had occasionally mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, that he had recently accepted a disciple with extremely high intelligence.
He must have been talking about Lin Tian.
Some of them had won the top prize, but still could not get Yang Sheng’s appreciation.
So because of this, they all had a high opinion of Lin Tian.
Moreover, the person who could be chosen by the emperor himself must have his own outstanding features.
“It’s better for you and me not to say more, just wait and see.”
Another official wearing a third-rank official uniform said, and quietly pulled his companion beside him, asking him not to discuss it anymore.
Then the emperor seemed to have not noticed Luo Xiang’s targeting, and he drank by himself, and occasionally talked to Su Rui beside him.
“Lord Luo also knows that it was before. After three days of separation, you should look at each other with new eyes, not to mention that it has been many years.”
Lin Tian also put on a fox smile, this Luo Xiang might have some problems with his brain.
Since he came back last time, this person has been targeting him intentionally or unintentionally.
He had heard that Luo Xiang wanted to get close to Yang Sheng before, but now it seems that this person has already stood on Liu Zhang’s side.
“It’s a good saying that a scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence. I just don’t know how Lord Lin is going to make us look at him with new eyes?”
Luo Xiang clapped his hands without thinking it was too much, as if he had to ask Lin Tian to say something.
“Since Lord Luo wants something so much, then I may not be able to take the top spot, which seems to be a bit disappointing to Lord Luo’s expectations?”
Lin Tian was of course not modest and directly made a bold statement.
He does have such confidence now. After several months of hard study, he has almost figured out the routine of the imperial examination in Da Chu.
In addition to his accumulation of 5,000 years of Chinese history and culture, it is not a problem for him to win the top spot.
However, his shameless reply made many people dissatisfied.
“Then we will wait and see, waiting for the good news from Lord Lin!”
Luo Xiang was immediately satisfied when he heard Lin Tian’s big tone.
He knew that there were several talented people in this imperial examination, all aiming for the position of the top scholar.
Even if Lin Tian is now Yang Lao’s apprentice, it is impossible for him to defeat those scholars who have studied hard for decades with just the accumulation of these few months.
“Then wait and see.”
Lin Tian was very arrogant.
Yang Sheng did not scold him when he saw him like this, but nodded while stroking his beard.
Lin Tian has the capital to be proud, and the young man is so arrogant that he does not need to avoid his edge.
Su Yu and Su Jin looked at Lin Tian thoughtfully, and both of them had some thoughts about Lin Tian.
Su Yu was a little curious about this young man who suddenly appeared in the officialdom. On the way back to the palace, he also heard that his father favored a young man recently.
It seems that this man is very arrogant!
But I don’t know if he has the capital to be arrogant.
“This capital city is really a place for training people.”
Su Jin said something without thinking. He had recommended Lin Tian to come to the capital city to make a living.
He personally recommended the name Lin Tian to his father, otherwise, Lin Tian would not have come to the capital city so early.
He must have made the right decision at that time.
As for whether Lin Tian could get the top spot as he said, Su Jin felt that Lin Tian had the ability for no reason. Even
if Xu Wenxuan conveyed the words “All under heaven belongs to the king”, one could imagine the momentum of Lin Tian when he said that.
The matter of Lin Tian’s participation in the imperial examination came to an end, and the banquet continued.
People who followed naturally took Lin Tian’s words as a topic of teasing, but for Yang Sheng’s sake, they only discussed it for a few sentences and then stopped.
Everyone started to discuss who would be the new champion, but no one believed Lin Tian.
A banquet was over.
After all this, the emperor was a little tired.
After returning to the bedroom, he saw Eunuch Shun directing people to move the box sent by Prince Anding to the center of the hall.
“Let someone open this thing.”
The emperor said.
He originally wanted to open the box in the hall, but he didn’t expect so many things to happen later.
Thinking of the incident caused by the eldest prince, the emperor inexplicably felt a headache again.
“Your Majesty, the things sent by Prince Anding may not be well-intentioned!”
Eunuch Shun advised with some concern.
“Just call a few more people, I guess he doesn’t dare to be so bold.”
The emperor frowned and rubbed his temples.
Several eunuchs put the box on the ground, and soon saw some liquid leaking out of the gap in the box.
“Open it!”
The emperor held up the corner of his clothes and sat on the soft couch next to him.
Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, Eunuch Shun could only call a few more people and even brought shields.
He was just worried that there was some strange hidden weapon in the box.
“No need to make such a fuss.”
“Your Majesty must not be careless!”
After making sufficient preparations, Eunuch Shun carefully used a wooden pole to open the lock on the box.
A strange smell immediately hit his nose.
The people around him couldn’t help but shrink their noses, but no one dared to step back.
Eunuch Shun bravely opened the lid, but he immediately dropped the stick the moment he opened it.
“Ugh–“
Several timid eunuchs immediately made dry retching sounds and stepped back tremblingly.
It turned out that there was a human head in the box!
