Chapter 317 Are You Xu Xian?
Xuanxuan's real name is Zhang Xuanxuan, and she is the biological daughter of Zhang Zhibai, the current Minister of Rites.
In the Dali Dynasty, as one of the six ministries, the Minister of Rites was equivalent to the director of the Secretariat of the State Council of Earth in later generations. Naturally, he was of high authority and his official title was first-ranked, and he was already at the top of the power pyramid of the Dali Dynasty.
He was only slightly inferior to Qin Hui, great scholar Li Jinglong and others.
Jiang Haibo, who was forced to death by Xu Mu'e before framed Xu Zhengqing and was forced to death in prison by Xu Mu'e, was the Minister of Rites, and Zhang Zhibai was his immediate superior.
People like Jiang Haibo already have a good say in the court. They are called the Emperor's Claws and Hawks. It is even more difficult to deal with him. Wang Sheng killed him in prison and was prepared to die.
It can be seen how high Zhang Zhibai is.
Even King Zhao, who is most likely to take the position of prince, must try his best to win him over.
That's why Zhang Xuanxuan has such a strong voice. If you want to attend the Shangyuan Banquet, you can also take Zhu Xiaolian to say hello to Zhao Zhu.
Unfortunately, Zhao Zhong did not know Zhu Xiaolian.
The only thing he knew was Xu Xian.
The moment he saw Xu Xian, he was shocked and thought to himself that the talented man Zhang Xuanxuan liked was Xu Xian?
If so, it would be easy to deal with...
But no one reminded him that he quickly evaded this possibility himself.
Xu Xian cannot be the person Zhang Xuanxuan likes. If this is true, he will not have received any reports from his subordinates. You should know that what Xu Xian did after he arrived in the capital recently has been found out.
Information shows that Xu Xian probably didn’t know Zhang Xuanxuan.
But he was a little confused. Why did Xu Xian come with Zhang Xuanxuan now and how did the two meet?
"Let me guess, Xuanxuan, your wishful husband should be this one?" Zhao Xuan's thoughts turned around for some time, but his face soon returned to normal, and he pointed at Zhu Xiaolian and said with a smile.
Zhang Xuanxuan was a little shy, but nodded and said, "His name is Zhu Xiaolian, and he is a student of Nanshan Academy."
Zhao Zhong praised politely: "It's really a handsome talent, Xuanxuan has a pretty good vision."
Zhu Xiaolian was so excited when he heard this.
King Jun Zhao recognized him at a glance and praised him for his outstanding talents. In his opinion, it was a great honor! Not to mention that he is a Juren, even if he is a Jinshi, most of them are not qualified to let King Jun treat him like this!
Just as Zhu Xiaolian was about to hit the snake and take this opportunity to show off his performance so that King Jun could remember him, Zhao Zhui suddenly turned his eyes and looked at Xu Xian, and asked with a deep sense: "Xuanxuan, who is this person? Are you a friend?"
"This is..." Zhang Xuanxuan subconsciously wanted to introduce Xu Xian, but after opening her mouth, she realized that it seemed that she didn't know Xu Xian's name yet.
So he said a little embarrassedly: "He is a friend of Xiaolian on his way to Beijing. Xiaolian, what is your friend's name?"
Zhu Xiaolian had deep resentment towards Xu Xian at this time.
If Xu Xian hadn't been here, he would have met King Jun alone with Zhang Xuanxuan, so he would have been interrupted and staggered. He would have room for performance and left a deep impression on King Jun!
It's all this guy who is in trouble!
I really shouldn't have greeted him just now!
However, Zhu Xiaolian is a person who is very good at hiding his true feelings in his heart. He thought this way, but his face was filled with a warm and sincere smile and introduced: "His name is Xu Hanwen. He just passed the imperial examination last year and like me, he also came to Beijing to study."
Xu Hanwen!
Hearing this name, King Jun's eyes showed such a look, and he was not surprised. After all, he had already recognized Xu Xian.
However, Zhang Xuanxuan was stunned, looked at her lover, and asked in disbelief: "His name...is Xu Hanwen?"
Zhu Xiaolian noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he subconsciously nodded and said, "Yes. What's wrong?"
Zhang Xuanxuan widened her eyes and asked again: "Is it Xu Hanwen from Hangzhou Prefecture?"
"I don't know if it's Hangzhou Prefecture. I haven't asked him yet. Xu Hanwen, are you from Hangzhou Prefecture..." Zhu Xiaolian turned his head and was about to ask Xu Xian.
But as soon as he was halfway through the question, he was suddenly stunned, completely stunned, his tone suddenly changed, and he stuttered: "You... are Xu Xian from Hangzhou Prefecture, Xu Hanwen?"
After Zhu Xiaolian entered Beijing, he was busy thinking about his future. Everything else had nothing to do with him and tried to leave it behind. But no matter how he was focused, he had a name that he could not avoid no matter what.
That is the famous Yingtian Mansion and is known as the peerless genius who has not appeared in hundreds of years, Xu Xian!
But he did not correspond to the names Xu Hanwen and Xu Xian before, and subconsciously ignored them.
It was not until this time that he finally came back to his taste.
"I am from Hangzhou Prefecture." Xu Xian could only nod and said.
This situation cannot be hidden from you.
Xu Xian told the truth, but Zhu Xiaolian was shocked and couldn't come back to his senses. He asked again with a little disbelief: "You are really Xu Xian from Hangzhou Prefecture, Xu Hanwen?!"
Xu Xian nodded again: "It's like a fake one to change."
Swish!
Hearing the affirmative answer, Zhu Xiaolian felt that his three views had collapsed. He couldn't even stand firmly. His body shook and almost fell to the ground.
How is this possible?
The guy who spent the night with him in a dilapidated temple and was not looked down upon by him was actually the number one talented man in the world? It was personally named a doctor by His Majesty the current emperor, and it became the first example in the establishment of the Dali Dynasty for hundreds of years!
He was still despising Xu Xian just now and felt that he was not qualified to attend the Shangyuan Banquet!
"Didn't you say you didn't get into Yingtianfu Academy?" Zhu Xiaolian questioned Xu Xian in shock and a little angrily.
"I did not take the exam for Yingtianfu Academy. Before I came to the capital, Your Majesty issued an order to report directly at the Imperial College after entering the capital." Xu Xian answered truthfully.
Damn!
Zhu Xiaolian almost went wild.
What the hell is this answer!
Fortunately, Zhang Xuanxuan, who was also shocked, recovered in time. Even if she pulled him, she signaled that he had lost his composure and paid attention to his emotions.
Zhu Xiaolian then calmed down a little.
But his eyes were still looking at Xu Xian with great difficulty, and his face felt aching.
Just now, he could easily give advice to Xu Xian, but now facing Xu Xian, he didn't even have the confidence to say a word.
At this time, he felt that it was more difficult to face Xu Xian than to face King Jun Zhao Zhui!
