Chapter 832: The Contest (Two Chapters in One)
The Ministry of Rites said, "Today is a special trip to the two princes of Nanyue and Xiqin, and the matter of Zhaoning County's selection of son-in-law will be announced to the world tomorrow." ”
Minister Nanyue said, "Da Li should have heard that my emperor was seriously ill and ordered the prince to supervise the country, and the prince really admired the county lord of Zhaoning, so he left the state affairs and came to Da Li in person, and we didn't have much time to delay." ”
As soon as Minister Nanyue's words fell, Chu San smiled and shook the wine in the cup and said, "So, you Prince Nanyue not only loves beauties more than you love the country, but even regards beauties more important than your Nanyue Emperor?
An unfilial prince, who actually let him supervise the country, can he abolish the prince?
Syllable!
This slap passed, and Minister Nanyue's face was swollen.
Prince Nanyue's eyes were cold for a moment, and he said, "When Prince Ben marries the county lord of Zhaoning and returns to Nanyue Chongxi, my father will definitely be able to recover." ”
Chu San smiled and said, "If you marry the crown princess so far away, Prince Nanyue won't be afraid that the daylily will be cold?"
Minister Nanyue's face changed and said, "Who are you? You are so bold and reckless, curse me Emperor Nanyue!"
Chu San looked wronged, "When did I curse you Emperor Nanyue to die early, you think so in your heart, but you use me as a raft to say it, isn't it good?"
Minister Nanyue's face was red and his ears were red.
Prince Nanyue raised his hand and said, "Don't fight with him, you can't fight him." ”
Chu San glanced at Prince Nanyue and said with a smile, "Prince Nanyue seems to know me very well?"
Chu Li glanced at Prince Nanyue more.
Prince Nanyue said with a smile, "Some people, just looking at his complexion, know that he has sharp teeth and a lotus tongue. ”
"Thank you Prince Nanyue for complimenting," Chu San said with a smile.
Prince Nanyue's eyes lit up with a smile and said, "This prince hasn't finished speaking yet." ”
After a pause, he hooked his lips and continued, "In fact, there are not many dry goods inside, just jumping up and down to make people's eyeballs." ”
Many ministers held back their laughter, and occasionally one or two voices overflowed, and in the quiet hall, it was exceptionally clear.
Prince Nanyue successfully provoked Chu San.
It's not just that he thinks about Dali and the county lord of Zhaoning.
Chu San's face turned pale, and he sneered, "I pride myself on being able to speak well, but I am slightly inferior to Prince Nanyue, if what Prince Nanyue said is true, does that mean that Prince Nanyue doesn't have much dry goods in your belly?"
At these words, Minister Nanyue couldn't laugh, this person was young, but he had the courage of the eldest in the sky, the second in the earth, and the third in me.
Prince Nanyue didn't want to deal with Chu San, and said, "Let's get down to business." ”
Chu San looked at him lazily and said, "The matter of the Zhaoning County Lord's selection of a son-in-law, the emperor handed it over to me to deal with it with all the powers." ”
Don't want to deal with him?
I just have to ignore him.
Prince Nanyue's eyes jumped with anger.
The old prince sat on the dragon chair and shook his head, he really saw the old man at the age of three, and he said, "Since Prince Nanyue is anxious to know, let's talk about it first." ”
Chu San treated Prince Nanyue with a careless attitude, angry and unpaid, but he was respectful to the old prince.
Putting down the wine glass, Chu San stood up and said, "Since the emperor has invited the prince of Nanyue and the prince of Western Qin to come to Dali and participate in the feast of the Zhaoning county lord to recruit horses, they all hold the hope of peaceful coexistence of the three kingdoms, but there is only one Zhaoning county lord, and the children of the family who ask to marry are innumerable. ”
Chu San left the banquet table and continued, "The two princes of Nanyue and Xiqin are good, but my Dali boy is not bad, if he is really on the test platform, everyone has a chance to win, if the winner is the prince of Western Qin or the prince of Nanyue, then the lord of Zhaoning and his relatives, if it is Dali Erlang, it is Zhaojun Ma." ”
There is no disagreement on this point.
You can't let the prince of Nanyue and the prince of Western Qin give up their identities and come to Dali to be the county master.
If she can't find the father and brother of the lord of Zhaoning County, her son may still be the prince, and if she finds it, she will have nothing to do.
How can a county horse master compare to the monarch of a country?
No one answered, Chu San continued, "I am responsible for the matter of fighting for the county horse, and I will definitely ensure fairness and justice, which means that everyone has hope, I don't want to see the scene of marriage and final feud, before the competition, I hope to reach a consensus with Xiqin and Nanyue, no matter who the county lord of Zhaoning marries in the future, Nanyue and Xiqin will not be able to move troops against me within three years, and those who do not agree can leave now." ”
The prince of Western Qin frowned slightly.
Prince Nanyue's brows were twisted.
What a fox!
In three years, if it is used properly, the Great Departure Dynasty will be able to breathe, and then it will be able to fight Nanyue.
Nanyue can not agree, but Da Li said that it is fair and just, but it is easy to do it, and when the time comes, the lord of Zhaoning County will be married to Xiqin, and Nanyue will be in danger.
Unless Nanyue and Xiqin rebel together.
The Prince of Nanyue looked at Western Qin, and as a result, the Great Prince of Western Qin smiled and said, "This prince has no objections. ”
The eldest prince agreed, can the second prince say that he disagrees, and then said, "This prince doesn't want a war between Western Qin and Da Li. ”
The two princes of Western Qin agreed, and the smile on Chu San's face brightened a little.
As long as Xiqin agrees, it doesn't matter if Nanyue agrees or not.
If you don't agree, then hit.
I believe that Xi Qin is happy to divide Nanyue with Da Li, one person and one half.
Prince Nanyue almost gritted his teeth, and two words popped out from between his teeth, "Prince Ben agrees too." ”
The old prince touched his beard, and his eyes were full of admiration.
Chu San said with a smile, "There is no evidence in empty words, and the words are proof." ”
Chu San asked people to bring over the notes they had prepared in advance.
The great prince of Western Qin glanced at Chu San more, took a pen and dipped ink to write his name on the note, and then stamped it with a private seal.
The eldest prince took the lead, and the second prince would definitely not fail to express his position.
The green tendons on the back of Prince Nanyue's angry hands burst out.
It's a pit!
The note is separated.
One is that Western Qin is not allowed to leave the war against the great.
One is that Nanyue is not allowed to leave the battle.
As for Western Qin and Nanyue......
You two don't fight, you are free, I don't mix, I will watch from the sidelines, who is good to me, who I will cheer for~.
Prince Nanyue looked at the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone handed over, and said with a cold smile, "Da Li, this is the prince of Kengben and Xiqin?"
Chu San looked innocent and said, "How can this be called a pit?"
This is obviously a trench.
How can you describe a small pit?
The prince of Nanyue said coldly, "I have brought my Nanyue and Xiqin to the pit, and signed such a note, when the time comes, the county lord of Zhaoning will still marry the elder brother of Da Xiang, but my Nanyue and Xiqin are not allowed to use troops against Da Li!"
Chu San smiled when he heard this, "As soon as I heard this, I knew that Prince Nanyue had no confidence, you see how refreshing the two princes of Xiqin are, this is called ambition to win, afraid of losing, of course, consider the consequences, Prince Nanyue needs more time to think clearly, I can understand." ”
Holding the prince of Western Qin, he stepped on the prince of Nanyue.
Prince Nanyue's face was as blue as ink, like the sky before a storm, depressed and dull.
However, Chu San didn't take it seriously.
The prince of Western Qin signed, and the attitude of the prince of Nanyue was not very important.
Of course, Xi Qin may not be very kind.
It is estimated that Xiqin can't wait for Nanyue and Dali to fight, and when the time comes, both will lose, and Xiqin will just pick up the cheap.
The refreshment of this, Dali can see it, and I believe that Nanyue is not confused.
Either maintain the status quo and stand on three legs.
Either the big break from the jar and the broken fall, fight with Nanyue, and cheap Xiqin.
Anyway, it won't be Nanyue who will take advantage in the end, and you, Prince Nanyue, will weigh it.
Prince Nanyue's fists clenched, and his bones creaked.
They don't care so much about the Great Departure Dynasty because there is still a way out, can they go back to the Great Zhou to be their high-ranking old prince?!
They can't afford to lose.
Xi Qin signed, but he Nanyue didn't sign it.
Prince Nanyue gritted his teeth, signed his name on the paper, and stamped the seal.
Chu San said with a smile, "I know that you are afraid that I will cheat and bring you here, but in the end, I will marry the county lord of Zhaoning to the children of the Dali family, so after all the competitions, Xiqin and Nanyue have a chance to make things difficult for the future county horse, and only by passing the layers of checkpoints, the best young man can become my county horse master." ”
Saying that, Chu San paused, "There are two princes from Xiqin, and there is only one prince in Nanyue, if Nanyue and Xiqin face each other in the end, the prince of Nanyue has two chances to come up with the question, and they are the two princes of Xiqin, in order to show fairness and justice, I think you all have no opinion, right?"
The Great Prince of Western Qin smiled, "I have no opinion. ”
Prince Nanyue also said, "This prince has no opinion. ”
If they come up with the problem in the end, and let the opponent win, and hold the lord of Zhaoning County, they will still have opinions, and they will be laughed at by the world.
This way of choosing a county horse is unheard of.
But no one can fault the slightest.
can withstand the difficulties of the prince of Western Qin and the prince of Nanyue, and finally wins, it is definitely the dragon and phoenix among the people who are not one in ten thousand, such a person is the county horse, no one can object.
Many ministers whispered secretly.
If you count a man like Da Lichao, there is probably only one prince of Wei Guo, right?
Chu San said with a smile, "The competition will be held in three days. ”
Next, everyone continued to drink and catch the wind for the prince of Western Qin and the prince of Nanyue.
The next day, the imperial court posted a list and openly chose a son-in-law for the lord of Zhaoning County, and all men could participate.
Outside the palace, there is an additional registration office.
However, all the eldest divorced men who participate in the selection of a son-in-law will be charged an application fee of ten taels of silver, which will be used for disaster relief.
The game has eight levels.
In addition to the registration fee of 10 taels, 100 taels of silver will be guaranteed for one pass, 2,000 taels will be sent for 2 passes, 10,000 taels will be sent for 3 passes, 50,000 taels will be guaranteed for 4 passes, and 100,000 taels will be guaranteed for 5 passes.
Those who can break through to the sixth level will get a vest created by the imperial court, and the second-grade officials below, regardless of the farmers and industrialists, as long as they wear the vest, they do not need to bow down, and the donors of more than 5,000 taels will be paid attention to by the imperial court, because of their kindness to move the world and the world, and the generation of virtue and filial piety will select the best officials.
As soon as the news came out, the whole of Kyoto was boiling.
Although it is a merit-based selection of officials, after all, in addition to the imperial examination and recommendation, there is another way to be an official.
Five thousand taels is not a large amount for the merchant family.
Shinong industry and commerce, businessmen are the last, if there is an official in the family, even if it is a fish leaping into the farmer's door, soaring and soaring, it is just around the corner.
There was a long queue outside the palace to sign up.
The entrance of the palace is usually deserted, and the lively courtyard is like a market at this time.
The county lord of Zhaoning originally planned to leave the palace, but he was embarrassed to go out at this time, called Chu San into the palace, and said, "Cousin, what kind of bad idea do you have, I don't know and think you took the opportunity to make money." ”
Chu San sat down and said lightly, "I was originally taking the opportunity to make money." ”
Lord Zhaoning, "......." ”
She sat down and couldn't hold back a word for a long time.
Can my cousin not be so sincere.
She prepared a bunch of words to persuade him, and she couldn't even say anything like this.
The county lord recruits the county horse, an elegant thing, and now it is related to money, and it is unbearable.
Chu San shook the jade fan and said disapprerovitically, "Those people don't pee and look in the mirror, just because they also want to marry my cousin and send them to the door, I don't want them, who am I?
Those who want to eat swan meat by toads, pit them, that is a good deed.
The county lord of Zhaoning had nothing to say, she knew that Chu San was also for the good of the imperial court.
The treasury is empty, and everything is in ruins.
The imperial court needs money to do things for the common people, and those who can take a few thousand taels casually are not poor.
But the prince of Western Qin and the prince of Nanyue are here, isn't this a joke?
The court wants money, but it also wants face.
Regarding the thoughts of the county lord of Zhaoning, Chu San brainwashed her and said, "Although the face is good, don't you think that the inside is more important? The Great Departure Dynasty is only strong, and Nanyue and Xiqin dare not despise the Great Departure, besides, in the first five levels, Xiqin and Nanyue do not need to participate, and they will directly participate in the sixth level without paying a penny, and I still think about whether they should pay 50,000 taels." ”
There are pits, no classes.
Chu San said that it was fair and just, and that was really the same treatment.
What Chu San did, the ministers told the emperor that he knew, and the emperor rubbed his temples, waved his hand and said, "Let him go." ”
The emperor has connived, what else do the ministers have to say, don't forget it if you don't see it.
Who has signed up...... No, there are too many people who want to eat swan meat, and in three days they will be the right son-in-law.
Chu San had to advance the first level.
Participate in the first level while registering.
The first level is simple, guess the riddle.
If you guess one question correctly, you can enter the second round of the competition.
Of course, the riddle is not so simple, not everyone can guess it, and the time to guess the question is very short, and if you don't guess it within the specified time, even if you don't have a chance.
In addition, as long as the registration has not yet closed, they can continue to register and come and answer the questions.
The second round is a physical strength comparison, carrying a hundred catties of rice, crossing a single-plank bridge, as long as you walk over, it is considered a success.
Kyoto, anyone with a bit of family background, is not willing to miss such an opportunity, these topics are not difficult.
The first level, guess the riddle.
The second level, cross the single-plank bridge.
In the third level, lift a stone pier of 150 catties.
It's all easy, and it couldn't be easier.
