Chapter 834: Trouble (Two Chapters in One)
Of so many people, only six barely managed it, and only two of them hit the bull's-eye with one arrow.
When they are all finished, then they will be the prince of Nanyue and the prince of Western Qin.
can travel thousands of miles to choose a county horse, and naturally has some ability.
All three of them hit the bullseye with one arrow.
This is to be expected.
It would be a shame if you were eliminated at the first level.
Then comes the seventh level.
The county lord of Zhaoning hopes that the future county master will be outstanding in martial arts, but it does not mean that his literary talent will not be outstanding.
The county horse master wants to be both civil and military.
It's just that there is no first in the text, there is no second in the martial arts, and the literati have their own merits, and it is difficult to distinguish which is higher and which is lower, and the delay is long, so put the competition in front to save everyone's time.
Tables, chairs, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones were set up in the test room, and the emperor asked questions on the spot.
"This time for Zhaoning to choose a husband, not only related to her safety, but also related to whether the thousands of people of the Great Departure Dynasty can be exempted from the suffering of war, and Xiqin and Nanyue are also closely related, this question, I come to the question, I hope that you who have come to this level will write an article on how to let the three kingdoms coexist peacefully, I will read the papers with the ministers of Xiqin and Nanyue, and the same as the imperial examination, someone will copy it, and then read the papers. ”
The two princes of Western Qin are both popular candidates for the crown prince of Western Qin.
There are almost no surprises, the future prince of Western Qin, the future emperor of Western Qin, is one of them.
Needless to say, Prince Nanyue is already a prince.
After ascending to the throne of God, there is no more suitable question to answer than they should let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and to live in friendship with other countries outside.
The old prince here personally read the papers, and there were also several ministers in Xiqin and Nanyue, who gave scores on the answer sheets.
The three players with the highest scores will advance to the next round of competition.
This question can be said to be biased towards Western Qin and Nanyue, they are all candidates for the prince, and the education they have received since childhood is naturally different from that of ordinary family children, which is a compulsory course for them.
Limited to two sticks of incense.
When the children of other families were still scratching their ears and cheeks, they were already writing and answering, calmly.
Two quarters of an hour arrived, and the gongs and drums sounded, "Rewind!"
For a moment, it really had a bit of the taste of the imperial examination, and it was the first time that Zhaojun Ma was like the imperial examination and the martial arts, and it was estimated that many people would follow suit in later generations, right?
The volume was put away, then copied, and then disrupted in public, the old prince first took a copy and looked at it, and then the ministers of Xiqin and Nanyue read the volume.
10 out of 10.
After grading, then exchange the answer sheet and continue reading.
The maximum score is 28 points.
Below are two twenty-seven points.
And then below it is twenty-five, twenty ...... There are also those under the age of eighteen, all of whom have been eliminated.
The three people who passed the test were the two princes of Western Qin and the prince of Nanyue.
The old prince looked at the answer sheet and said with a smile, "I hope that in the future, the three countries can trade with each other as you wrote, get along with each other friendly, and there will be no more wars." ”
Although I know that they may not think so in their hearts, at least what they write on the paper is very high-sounding.
The one who scored twenty-eight points was the great prince of Western Qin.
He said something above, and the old prince was very moved.
Xi Qin has a friendly heart, but if someone repeatedly provokes, he will be punished even if he is far away!
Friendship does not mean concession, as an emperor of a country, there should be no less toughness.
Next, it's the eighth level.
Chu San said with a smile, "This eighth level is not only about strength, but also about luck. ”
The second prince of Western Qin frowned, "Fight luck?"
Chu San nodded, "Yes, in fact, luck is also part of the strength, the three of you, you will draw lots later to decide who will compete with whom, one of them must have a bye, see that there is no plum blossom pile over there, one stick of incense is limited, whoever falls from it, who loses, a stick of incense burns embers, you are still on the plum blossom pile, then it will be considered as a pass." ”
Chu San really took the three words of fairness and justice to the extreme.
The lottery is drawn by themselves, and others do not interfere, who can participate in the competition, who has a bye, and it depends on their own luck.
The paper for the draw had already been prepared, and it was placed in a jar and shaken.
The prince of Nanyue drew first, after all, the two princes of Western Qin had a greater hope of getting a bye than him.
But if he wants to have a bye, the two princes of Western Qin will fight, and it will be very impressive.
It is estimated that whoever falls off the plum blossom pile will have no chance with the position of the prince of Western Qin.
After all, Dali and Nanyue are obvious to all, Emperor Xiqin will not be stupid with a powerful son, choose a son who is not powerful, and be pressed by a powerful one for a lifetime......
After the prince of Nanyue drew lots, the prince of Western Qin reached out and took one.
It's just that as soon as he picked it up, it was picked up by the second prince of Western Qin.
The action of the second prince of Western Qin is a bit intriguing, which can be understood as he wants this one, and it can also be understood that he wants to see what the eldest prince draws.
The Great Prince of Western Qin did not stretch out his hand, because the Second Prince glared at him and did not allow him to look at the other one.
The martial arts of the second prince are worse than those of the eldest prince.
If the eldest prince has no chance of winning against the prince of Shangnanyue, then the second prince has no chance of winning.
For the sake of Western Qin, the second prince's means, the eldest prince is not good at poking him, so he can only condone it.
This little trick, the old prince really can't look at it.
The second prince saw the empty paper and a smile appeared on his face.
The eldest prince's eyes turned cold, and he said, "The emperor's brother is lucky. ”
"The royal brother agreed. ”
This is an admit, this is clearly a robbery.
Chu San presided over the overall situation and said with a smile, "As an elder brother, the eldest prince of Western Qin is humble and polite, which is admirable, but if you win the competition, the second prince will let you give him the opportunity to marry the county lord of Zhaoning, you have to show your brother's generosity, and now you can go back to your seat to watch the competition." ”
If anyone dared to snatch something from him, he would just break all ten of his fingers.
The Great Prince of Western Qin said with a smile, "The county lord of Zhaoning is a treasure, if I am lucky enough to marry her, I will protect her with my life, whoever wants to rob her wants my life." ”
No matter how generous he is, he won't joke with his life.
The sudden confession was in front of the public, and the county lord of Zhaoning blushed like a glow.
Chu San shouted in his heart, this guy's skin is thicker than that of him and his eldest brother combined.
Such a sensual thing, he also said it.
Should he replace this level with a confession, this guy will definitely win.
Prince Nanyue laughed, "It seems that the Great Prince of Western Qin is going to fight with this prince?"
The Great Prince of Western Qin looked at him.
The two are close, and the look in their eyes is invisible to outsiders, but it is foreseeable that they will never greet each other with a smile.
The old prince said, "As long as you lay the plum blossom pile, don't hurt the lives of others." ”
Of course, the identities of the Great Prince of Western Qin and the Prince of Nanyue are very important, even if they send the knife to the other party, they don't dare to really stab it.
Of course, if something really happens, it's not a bad thing for Dali.
However, everyone is measured, and people with lofty ambitions will never bury their lives and bright future because of a momentary mood.
The two of them lifted their bodies, like cranes on the roof, and jumped on the plum blossom pile with a slight jump, peerless appearance, dazzling under the sun.
After the gongs and drums are sounded, the incense is lit.
The wind is a little strong today, and the incense burns a little fast, that is, the winner will be decided in less than a quarter of an hour.
The fight on the plum blossom pile is fierce and breathtaking.
Smooth flow, quick shots, blink of an eye, I don't know how many tricks have passed.
Chu Li sat there, all as if he was watching a good show, but gradually, his eyes condensed, and his face was heavy.
Prince Nanyue not only looked familiar, but even his martial arts were very familiar, like ...... Zhao Yi?
But Zhao Yi couldn't appear here, and he became the prince of Nanyue.
He must have been overthinking.
This should just be a coincidence.
Chu Li glanced at the ministers of Nanyue, only to see that their faces were full of shock, obviously surprised that Prince Nanyue's martial arts were so high.
Their prince is really hidden, he used to be arrogant and lascivious, and he didn't let the emperor worry about it, but he didn't expect to be so diligent in private, that is to say, the so-called arrogance and lasciviousness is just an illusion he used to disguise himself and paralyze the enemy?
No wonder he had the courage to be seriously ill in the emperor, and when he and the queen were in charge of the country, he put down the government and came to ask to marry the lord of Zhaoning.
Now it seems that he wants both sesame seeds and watermelon.
is so obscure, I'm afraid that Nanyue doesn't know how many forces are his, fortunately they didn't write against me with the prince, and along the way, they were also respectful, and the more I looked at it, the more numb my back became.
However, the martial arts of the great prince of Western Qin are also very high, and the two of them are a little equal for a while.
Chu San sat aside, he looked at his fist.
Watching others fight, his hands are a little itchy, if it were his own body, he would probably be able to tie with them, or even have a slight advantage.
This is the body of Lord Ning, although he has trained well these days, and his body is a lot stronger, but his flexibility is far less than before.
The fight on the plum blossom pile became more and more intense, and most of the incense was burned.
The punch to the flesh style of fighting, the people who watched it were thrilled, pinched a cold sweat for the prince of Western Qin, and worried about the prince of Nanyue.
However, the martial arts of the prince of Nanyue seem to be slightly higher, and the prince of Western Qin was almost knocked off the plum blossom pile, but fortunately, the prince of Western Qin was able to stabilize his body and jumped on the plum blossom pile again.
The second prince of Western Qin sat there, looking at it with cold sweat on his head.
His martial arts skills are not as high as the prince of Western Qin, and the prince of Western Qin was almost knocked down from the plum blossom pile, if it were him, it is estimated that he would have been carried to see the imperial doctor at this time.
As time went by, Prince Nanyue's shots became more and more aggressive, and his moves were ruthless.
It can be seen from the change of lottery that the second prince of Western Qin is not the opponent of the great prince of Western Qin.
As long as the prince of Western Qin is knocked down on the plum blossom pile, this family matter will be nine out of ten.
However, the prince of Western Qin is still quite smart, and he can't win by hard fighting, but he can hide, as long as a stick of incense is burned, he doesn't fall off the plum blossom pile, and this level can be regarded as passing.
If he can't win this level, it doesn't mean that he will lose the next level.
Hard-hitting, the prince of Western Qin can't take advantage, but he escapes on the plum blossom pile, and the prince of Nanyue chases after it, and he can't get a bargain.
The incense and candles burned out, and the gongs and drums rang out.
The Great Prince of Western Qin breathed a sigh of relief, and his body jumped down from the plum blossom pile, and the face of the Prince of Nanyue was gloomy, and there was no smile.
The rules of the competition were set before, and everyone knew that even if Prince Nanyue's martial arts were higher, it was useless.
Chu San stood up and said, "Congratulations to the two princes of Western Qin and the prince of Nanyue for passing the eighth level, it is indeed the dragon and phoenix among the people, and then I will ask you to make it difficult for each other to eliminate each other." ”
Asking each other questions to embarrass each other, this matter was directly said at the reception banquet.
For so long, I should have thought of embarrassing each other with the topic.
Chu San said, "Is Nanyue against Xiqin, or are the three of you embarrassed by each other?"
The Great Prince of Western Qin said, "It's still Western Qin to Nanyue." ”
If the question is too difficult, the second prince will be compared, and there will be a catastrophe when you go back, and one more thing is better than one less.
Chu San nodded and said, "Prince Nanyue can come up with two questions, namely the Great Prince of Nanyue and the Second Prince, and you can come up with the questions first." ”
Prince Nanyue said coldly, "There is no need for the two questions, let them go together." ”
Prince Nanyue's tone was arrogant and full of contempt.
He slipped his feet on the ground and said, "They are outside the circle, as long as you let Prince Ben out of this circle, even if they all pass." ”
The circle is not big, he is standing in the circle, no matter what method the Great Prince of Western Qin and the Second Prince of Western Qin use, as long as he comes out.
The time to answer the question is a stick of incense.
The Great Prince of Western Qin frowned, if he wanted to win by martial arts, it was almost hopeless.
The second prince of Western Qin looked at him and said, "You go first?"
The Great Prince of Western Qin shook his head, "I give up." ”
The second prince of Western Qin turned pale and was defeated without a fight, and he lost all his face.
Even if he can't win, he's going to give it a try.
As soon as the second prince of Western Qin clenched his fist, he fought with the prince of Nanyue, the gongs and drums sounded, and the competition began.
Previously, it was supposed to be the eighth level of the competition between the second prince of Western Qin and the prince of Nanyue, and he played a little clever to dodge the past in that level, but now he took the initiative to attack, and let everyone see that his strength is much worse than that of Prince Nanyue.
The prince of Nanyue's body flashed, and the second prince of Western Qin stumbled, but fortunately, the eldest prince reached out and grabbed him, so he didn't fall.
But the eldest prince did not besiege Prince Nanyue with the second prince, if they went together, they should still be a little sure.
But with more bullying and less, even if you win the game, you will lose face.
Prince Nanyue is sure that they will not join forces, so he has no fear.
The second prince of Western Qin used brute force, and the prince of Nanyue stayed in the circle without moving until a stick of incense burned rice and the competition ended.
In this game, the second prince of Western Qin lost, if he came up with the question later, and the prince of Nanyue caught it, there would be nothing to do with him.
The second prince of Western Qin took a step back with a calm face, but if he wanted to say how bad his mood was, he didn't have it, because the eldest prince of Western Qin said that he would give up this game directly and not make senseless struggles.
It doesn't matter if he can't win against Prince Nanyue, as long as he is not worse than the eldest prince.
Prince Nanyue has never been his enemy.
Prince Nanyue glanced at the Great Prince of Western Qin and said, "It's your turn." ”
The Great Prince of Western Qin smiled faintly and said, "I admit defeat." ”
Prince Nanyue was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "Those who know the times are Junjie." ”
As he spoke, he stepped into the circle he had drawn.
