Chapter 4: The Dawn
Although the emperor praised Yang Haolong, Zhao Yinggang was extremely unhappy! But she also had to bow down to the paintings she had made before. Fortunately, she is not good at playing musical instruments, and in the matter of music, he has finally saved a little reputation.
Zhao Yinggang glanced at Yang Haolong, but saw that she was not impatient or impatient, that little person was not impatient at all, on the contrary, she was more like an adult.
Seeing her calm face, he wanted to tear it apart, he really wanted to see her panicked.
Zhao Yinggang said to her arrogantly: "Then do you know how to play chess?" Let's go to the next round! ”
Yang Haolong was speechless, she hadn't learned anything like Go in her previous life, after all, a person was imprisoned in a lonely place, and no one played against her, so she naturally hadn't learned it.
Now she finally admits that the sixth prince Zhao Yinggang is really worthy of being a prodigy praised by the world, he is really proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and that kind of talent is really powerful.
Yang Haolong pouted and said, "No!" ”
As soon as she heard her say no, Zhao Yinggang was very proud, and hurriedly said to the emperor: "Father! He doesn't know how to play chess! Then in chess, I won! ”
The Emperor burst out laughing: "Haha, yes yes! In this way, it is a situation of two wins and one loss, even if you lose in the end on the "book" side, it is a draw, and you finally don't lose face to the heavenly family.
Because painting and calligraphy have similarities, in the fourth competition, the emperor asked the two to compose poems on the spot to test their literary literacy.
The emperor looked at the scenery of the garden and said, "Then let's take the willow as the theme." ”
Poetry and poetry are just easy for Zhao Yinggang, he just looked around, and blurted out: "After the rain is a sunny May day, the scenery is clear for a while." The cage smoke is green and delicate, and there are butterflies dancing in between. The willow waist is thin, and the leaves are eyebrows. also hold people's arms and shoulders. ”
"Good poetry!" Emperor Long Yan Dayue blurted out Zhao Yinggang. He suddenly felt that his son had added a lot of face to the royal family.
Although it is a little vernacular, the words are beautiful, and the scenery in the garden is completely described, as if you are in a painting. Zhao Yinggang is only 10 years old, but he already has such attainments, and his future is limitless!
At this time, everyone began to worry about Yang Haolong, can she really make a poem that is more amazing than Zhao Yinggang?
But seeing Yang Haolong's undisguised appreciation for Zhao Yinggang in his eyes, but when she met her, she naturally wanted to frustrate his sharpness!
Yang Haolong lightly opened his red lips and blurted out: "The jasper is made up to be a tree high, and ten thousand green silk ribbons hang down." I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors. ”
If Zhao Yinggang's poem is greatly appreciated by everyone, then Yang Haolong's poem is simply amazing!
Yang Haolong used turquoise colors, vivid metaphors, and novel imagination to depict the vibrant scene of spring willows. It also uses the common details of people's life to anthropomorphically portray the image of spring willow, showing the infinite vitality of spring, making people feel fresh and refreshing, and the idea can be described as unique!
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! The emperor said three wonderful words in a row, and the excitement and joy suddenly jumped into his face.
"I never knew that anyone could make such a poem, let alone a self-proclaimed poet in this dynasty, let alone a 6-year-old child?" The Emperor praised it with great admiration, "Genius! There is a genius in this dynasty! ”
The emperor's undisguised approval made Yang Haolong slightly embarrassed. She knew very well in her heart that the real genius should be Zhao Yinggang. After all, she lived almost 20 years longer than Zhao Yinggang, and she just borrowed the wisdom of the ancients and plagiarized that poem. It's not like Zhao Yinggang really created it himself! That's a real genius!
Zhao Yinggang saw that his demeanor was all covered by Yang Haolong, and he couldn't help but hate Yang Haolong in his heart.
"Long'er, what reward do you want for such a good sentence?" Dragon's heart is happy, and he directly gave this supreme honor! You must know that the emperor issued a blank check, which is more valuable than being directly rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold.
Yang Haolong thought about it, she lacked nothing in this life, even her favorite freedom, so what else did she want?
She tilted her head, her expression was a little stern, and she looked like a little adult to please the emperor.
The emperor laughed: "Long'er doesn't have to be afraid, just say it!" As long as I can do it, I will satisfy you! Then, he looked at her with ulterior motives and said, "You have no jokes! ”
After receiving the emperor's promise, Yang Haolong's heart was crossed, so he made a gesture and said: "The grass people are bold and want to ask the emperor for a privilege." ”
When the emperor heard this, his face changed slightly, but Yang Li was secretly screaming beside him!
Although he is the favored minister of the Son of Heaven, it is also appropriate for his child to be rewarded by the emperor for being so good. But the king is the king, the minister is the minister, no matter how favored he is, he can't get carried away! In the current situation, the Yang family and the Li family each occupy one side, and the emperor knows that he cannot let one family dominate, nor can he collapse a certain family at will. The balance of power is the key to the continuation of the dynasty!
Now, Yang Haolong, who is young, wants to ask for privileges. What privileges could she ask for? If her request is to make an imbalance between the Yang family and the Li family, it is really not a joke!
At the moment, Yang Li didn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and hurriedly scolded: "Long'er must not be rude!" ”
Then he knelt down to the emperor with sweat, "The dog is bold and reckless, and I hope that the emperor will be lightly dismissed!" ”
What is this? She hadn't even spoken. How did Yang Li know that the privilege she wanted was a big rebellion? This ancient monarchy hierarchy is really suffocatingly harsh.
The emperor remained silent and continued to ask Yang Haolong: "Oh? Long'er said let's hear it. ”
Yang Haolong thought for a while, and after estimating that what he said should make the emperor get by, he said: "The grass people don't like to kneel to people, it's not that they are disrespectful to the emperor, but because the grass people are casual - they don't like restraint, so they don't want to follow those many rules." I wonder if the grass people can boldly ask the emperor for a privilege of 'no matter who you see, you don't need to kneel'? ”
Yang Haolong peeked at the emperor's face, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he dared to continue: "This is just a little wish of the grass people, if you violate the laws of our dynasty, you should treat the grass people as ignorant, and the emperor doesn't have to pay attention to it." ”
What does it mean to break the law? That's obviously illegal! The crowd was stunned. At the same time, it is curious how the emperor will answer.
The emperor playfully said: "Don't like constraints, only love freedom? If you had to choose between freedom and life, what would you choose? ”
The emperor's suddenly cold eyes shot directly at Yang Haolong: "If I give you supreme power, so that you can live freely and unrestrained, but on the second day, I will take your life!" Or send you to the palace, and you will not be allowed to step out of the palace for the rest of your life, but I promise that no one will ever hurt your life. So ......"
He paused, almost looking into the depths of her heart: "Which one would you choose?" ”――
