Chapter 550: The two of them came up with the question
The three sons of Kaifeng made a bad move, turning the simple literary test into a literary test and a martial arts test, so some of the people in the imperial city who were generally optimistic about winning this time were shaken. WwW is worth your collection. LοΌ·XοΌ³οΌοΌοΌγ The result of this trouble is that there are more highlights of the competition in the four courtyards, and more and more people are paying attention, of course, what makes everyone more concerned in front of them is the competition between the three talents of Jiangnan and the three sons of Kaifeng today.
While talking, the food that the three sons of Kaifeng asked for was also delivered, and while eating, the three of them asked the three talented people in Jiangnan, "A little competition, what is the comparison, do the three of you have any opinions?" β
The three great talents in Jiangnan were stunned, compared to what? Biwenbei, what else can it be compared to?
Pang Yu was also curious, "Isn't the literati competition just the kind of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" β
Cao Jian shook his head, "The little marquis will also say, it's always boring to play piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs, this is a lot better in exams every year, and it is also compared with it, there is no new idea." β
Zhan Zhao poked the snail with chopsticks and looked at Bai Yutang - this kid is going to be bad again!
Bai Yutang nodded, and took him a big snail - people don't love you like everyone!
Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang, his rat seemed to be in a good mood today, his eyes were very soft, and his mouth was sweet.
Bai Yutang touched the hair on Zhanzhao's back with his hand, using the same technique as when he stroked Xiao Wu's hair......
Yin Hou was opposite the two of them, holding the dishes and chopsticks and looking at Tianzun - what are you doing as an apprentice?
Tianzun was eating, and when he saw Yin Hou looking at himself, he raised his head to identify it, and finally raised his eyebrows - teasing the cat, you see that your cat boy is useful.
"Why don't we solve each other's problems?" Cao Yuanti yì.
Everyone frowned, how can this be compared?
Chunhua felt that the other party was not at ease, so he said, "If you don't answer the same question, how can you compete?"
"That's right, you asked me to write a poem and I asked you to paint a picture, how do you compare the poem and the painting in the end?" Pang Yu also shook his head, the little marquis had already seen it, this guy has a bad stomach! It's the same as the words I just mentioned about the comparison between civil and military, it has been calculated a long time ago!
"Then who is going to ask the question?" Cao Yuan asked, "It should be fair and just, but also interesting, and it is best to represent the academy ......."
"It's better than that." Cao Kun came up with an idea, "Let's each ask a friend, let him make a question, and then we will answer, both questions have to be answered, since it is a three-son competition, it depends on which side can have two people win in the end, which side wins, how?" β
Everyone felt that although he was a little awkward, it was easy to understand, and the conditions were acceptable, and the key was who would make the question.
"Who's going to do it?" Lai Tianqing asked.
"Hmm...... It would be best to be able to represent each other's colleges, but it is best not to involve the master and son, you know...... The master of my Qiankun Academy is naturally not as famous as the master who is too learned. Cao Jian smiled.
Everyone at the table in Kaifeng Mansion felt that this kid was actually quite underwhelmed.
"But the level of their friends is uneven...... Why don't we find our own academy, how about those seniors who have already learned? β
Everyone was stunned.
Yue Ziming asked, "The seniors who have completed their studies refer to the students of the original Taixue and the students of Qiankun Academy?" β
"That's right." Cao Jian nodded.
"Then who is you from Qiankun Academy?" Wang Qi asked, muttering in his heart, feeling that the other party was prepared.
"Oh, a friend of mine is going to watch us compete today, and I'll ask him to do it in a while!" Cao Yuan smiled, "What about you?" Are there any of you here who used to study too much? β
Everyone glanced at each other, there must be a lot of old students who are too learning, Master Bao is, just for a while, where to find it?
Just as he was in a dilemma, he saw someone stretch out his hand, "I'm coming!" β
Everyone knew that it was not good when they heard this voice, and Nangong Chang sighed long, why did he become a big internal guard in the first place?
Everyone turned their faces and saw that it was Zhao Zhen who raised his hand.
Cao Yuan and the others also noticed Zhao Zhen just now, and at first they thought that he might be the master of Taixue, it turned out to be a student of Taixue, no wonder they were so familiar together.
"Ahem." Master Lin Xiao coughed, look at Zhao Zhen, what does that mean-Your Majesty, you have no jokes, where have you studied in Taixue?
Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows - Didn't you teach me when I was a child, although I was in the palace, and I was taken to Taixue by the Eight Kings every day to accompany him to class, then I was also a student of Taixue! There are also Taixue students who are all protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven, and I want to protect my protΓ©gΓ©s!
Lin Xiao was helpless and looked at Zhao Pu for help.
Zhao Pu pretended not to see it, anyway, what Zhao Zhen said was nothing, besides, what kind of scholars and dances were written, the Nine Princes were not interested at all, if it weren't for Gongsun and Xiao Sizi, he wouldn't have come! These people are too naΓ―ve, and they should have expected the consequences when they went out with Zhao Zhen.
"What do you call Your Excellency?" Cao Jian asked Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen smiled, "My surname is Huang." β
"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Huang." The three of them nodded to Zhao Zhen, and the rest of the people listened awkwardly, and returned the imperial brother, the queen mother suddenly had a string of sons.
Zhao Zhen pointed at himself, "Bucai is also a student of Taixue." β
"Oh......" Cao Yuan nodded, and asked again, "Brother Huang looks magnificent, but he is an official in the court?" β
The three brothers of the Cao family are not lacking in hearts, who doesn't know that they must have a friendship with Zhanzhao when they eat at the same table. If it is a friend of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, it must be a person from the rivers and lakes, but this person doesn't look like he knows martial arts, so he can only be a relative of Zhao Pu and them, so he can't be offended, maybe he is a relative of the emperor.
Zhao Zhen saw that there was a calculation in the eyes of the three of them, so he smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed at Master Lin, who was drinking soup next to him, and said, "This is my godfather!" β
"Poof......" Lin Fuzi took a sip of soup and sprayed Ouyang Shaozheng.
The old man coughed and hurriedly helped Ouyang Shaozheng wipe it, Zhao Zhen leaned over and helped him pat him on the back, "Oh, godfather, why are you drinking so fast?" β
Everyone saw that Lin Fuzi was shocked, and everyone felt that the old man must be chanting in his heart, "Amitabha, don't blame the emperor......
Kaifeng's third son's expression at this time was a lot more relaxed, it turned out to be Lin Xiao's godson.
What Qiankun Academy is looking for is actually the trouble of Master Lin, what do you hear? It turned out to be a relative of Lin Fuzi's side, and I can't let you go for a while! I'll cut you first, and give the old man a dismount!
And at this end, Zhao Zhen, who was full of food and drinking, thought-what is the best topic? This is much more interesting than the question of the top prize!
Extending their table, Yue Ziming asked Pang Yu curiously, "Is that Brother Huang really the master's righteous son?" β
"Uh......" Bao Yan and Pang Yu couldn't answer with their mouths open, Lin Xiao shook his head with the teacup, feeling that if Zhao Pu was called Zhao Pu, then Zhao Zhen should be called Zhao Wupu.
"He looks extravagant, does he have a lot of talent?" Lai Changqing was curious.
Bao Yan and Pang Yu sighed - no, it's a big deal.
The meal ended in a "pleasant" atmosphere, and everyone got up and prepared to rush to Baekjewon.
Zhao Pu and Zhao Zhen walked side by side, looking at him, "Don't cause any disturbance for a while." β
Zhao Zhen was puzzled, "What riot?" β
Zhao Pu sighed, "Those three boys are obviously not well-intentioned, what friends have arranged the question a long time ago, and people want to find out the order for Old Man Lin, you even say that you are his godson?" Isn't this looking for a draw? β
Zhao Zhen looked surprised, "Really?" How could it be?! β
Zhao Pu looked at the sky and looked at him, "If you don't come to this set, you will say that you didn't mean it!" β
Zhao Zhen shook his head seriously, "Of course not, I am an honest man!" β
Zhao Pu is helpless, Zhao Zhen has been sullen since he was a child, don't look at the sullen and very honest appearance, and his joy and anger are not good, in fact, his biggest hobby in life is to add chaos and rectify people, after becoming the emperor, there is no way, you need to be restrained, it is easy to go out of the palace today, and it is strange not to toss hard.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked last.
Zhan Zhao was full and in a good mood, and whispered to Bai Yutang, "I still care more about the bloody disaster that Old Man Chen said just now." β
Bai Yutang looked up at the sky and said, "The noble man went out to attract wind and rain...... It's not like it's going to rain, and Baekjeen won't have many beams later, right? Just pay attention. β
After saying nothing all the way, everyone soon came to Baekje Garden, and sure enough, it was already crowded.
The advantage of having Xiao Wu to open the road is here, no matter how crowded it is, as long as Xiao Wu "whines", the crowd will definitely be separated on both sides.
The black tiger on the street of Kaifeng naturally has nothing but Xiao Wu, and everyone in Kaifeng City knows that it does not bite, but after all, the king of beasts, face still has to be given, otherwise it is enough to slap its big meat claws.
The contest took place in a pavilion in Baekje Garden.
This pavilion is the largest one in Kaifeng, it is a view of Kaifeng, simple and elegant, it is the center of Baekje Garden, surrounded by lakes, and the scenery is elegant.
The crowd was ready for a long time.
At this time, Baekje, the original owner of Baekje Garden, came out, and whenever there was a heavy competition, he came to announce the rules.
Cao Yuan and Xie Yan were representatives of both sides, and they both stepped forward to introduce the rules of this competition to Fang Baekje.
Fang Baekje nodded, and announced to everyone that today's competition is for both sides to choose a senior to be responsible for the question, each of them will give three questions, and then the three sons of Kaifeng and the three talents of Jiangnan will answer these six questions together, each talent will answer two questions, and the person who answers the same two questions will face off against each other, and the one who wins the two will win!
Everyone understood the rules of this competition and thought it was quite novel.
Fang Baiji asked the third son of Kaifeng, "Who is the one in charge of the Qiankun Academy?" β
Cao Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Oh, it's our predecessor in Qiankun Academy, Yan Shaogong!" β
There were exclamations from the crowd.
The crowd turned their heads to each other.
"Yan Shaogong? Isn't that the famous all-rounder? β
"That's right! He's from Dali Temple, right? β
"It seems to be the youngest Shaoqing of Dali Temple."
"So powerful?"
"But the seniors of Taixue should be more powerful, right?"
"That's right!"
Bai Yutang asked Zhanzhao, "How big is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple?" β
Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "It should be an official from the fifth grade." β
"Isn't it necessary to go to court from the fifth grade?" Bai Yutang asked.
Zhan Zhao nodded, "Well, it shouldn't be necessary, many official positions don't need to enter the palace to go to the court." As he spoke, he pointed to himself, which meant that he hadn't been there much except for dinner.
Nangong crossed his arms and frowned, and asked Zhanzhao, "You have a lot of dealings with Dali Temple, right?" How is Yan Shaogong? β
Zhan Zhao laughed twice, "Hehe." β
Everyone brushed and turned their faces to look at him together, isn't it good?
Xiao Sizi twisted a small pimple between his brows and asked, "Is it the fierce bald uncle?" β
Zhan Zhao nodded.
Bai Yutang was a little curious, and asked the little fourth son, "Do you know each other too?" β
Gongsun picked up the fourth son.
Xiao Sizi said, "That time my father and I went to Dali Temple to help with the autopsy, and he was fierce." β
Gongsun touched the little fourth son and nodded, "That Yan Shaogong seems to hate me very much, and he said unceremoniously and showed his face, you must know that Dali Siqing invited me to go to the autopsy." β
At this time, I listened to Pang Yu come over and gossip, "What, Yan Shaogong doesn't hate you, he hates all Taixue and people related to Taixue!" I especially hate Lin Fuzi! β
Everyone was curious, and when they looked back, they saw Lin Fuzi frowning slightly, as if he was a little worried.
"He has a grudge against Master Lin?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Bao Yan also came over and said, "I also heard my father say that Yan Shaogong was qualified to enter Taixue back then, and he is also a rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he is really good at kung fu." It's a pity that something happened that made him lose a great opportunity to enter Taixue. Otherwise, with his ability, he should not have only made a five-grade until now. β
Everyone wondered, "What happened?" β
"Yan Shaogong is very addicted to gambling." Pang Yu gossiped to everyone, "But he doesn't like to gamble on pai gow dice, but likes to bet on poetry and chess, especially on chess." He can still make people tolerate anything, but his arrogance is unbearable, he likes to demean his opponent when he wins, he can't be humiliated, he is very popular in his studies, and he really makes a lot of trouble. β
Bao Yan nodded, and continued, "That day, he was gambling chess with others, as if he was also in Baekje Garden, and it happened that Lin Fuzi was wandering around, and he was seeing him humiliating his opponent in a mean manner. Later, the scholar who played against him left angrily, and Lin Fuzi stepped forward and said, 'Young man, there are often victories and defeats, why do you speak badly and hurt people? If the scholar can't think of having three long and two short, wouldn't it be a sin? ββ
Everyone touched their chins, it really looked like what Master Lin would say.
Pang Yu sighed twice, "At that time, Yan Shaogong had not yet entered Taixue, and when he heard Lin Fuzi's words, he laughed and said, 'What do you old man know, officialdom is Shura field, scholars of similar age are all enemies, one less is better, don't say that he left in a bad mood and committed suicide by jumping into the river." ββ
Everyone's eyelids jumped - that's it......
"Later, the master met with him alone in Taixue and talked about a stick of incense for about a while." Bao Yan spread his hands, "Yan Shaogong left, and instead of studying Taixue, he switched to Qiankun Academy, and from then on, he was not with Taixue and Master Lin!" It's not uncommon to hear him speak ill of both. β
Zhan Zhao frowned, "Did the master tell him something?" β
Wang Qi shook his head, "No one knows about this, and the master hasn't mentioned it, so it's probably a fierce reprimand!" β
Everyone looked at Lin Fuzi, who found a chair in the distance and sat down, and always felt that this old man couldn't go with the words "fierce reprimand", and "bitter talk" was more suitable for him, right? It is almost impossible for him to reprimand a student for a stick of incense, but it is still possible for him to bother others with a stick of incense.
Gossip about Yan Shaogong here, and over there, Fang Baekje asked Xie Yan, "Taixue here, who is the person in charge of the question?" β
The three great talents in Jiangnan all looked back.
Zhao Zhen smiled and walked up, Nangong really wanted to stop him and drag him back to the palace, but unfortunately he couldn't.
In the crowd, Yan Shaogong also walked out, he was tall and his head was shiny.
Zhan Zhao also frowned slightly, "It's not good, Yan Shaogong is notoriously short-tempered." β
"A grumpy person is also an official." Bai Yutang asked, "The marshal and general of the Zhao family are here, he won't beat Zhao Zhen, right?" β
Everyone looked at him silently - Zhao Zhen was in front, you give him some face, don't call him by his name, don't rely on the four-grade royal cat to support you, and don't take the emperor as the emperor.
Bai Yutang touched his nose.
Zhanzhao is afraid to shoot him - not afraid, I will support you, I am a big official!
Bai Yutang looked at Zhanzhao for a while, and continued to reach out and gently touch his hair - it was really loved by everyone.
Ahead, Yin Hou watched Bai Yutang take his grandson as a cat, and always felt that something was wrong.
"That's right, he won't take the initiative to beat Zhao Zhen."
At this time, another person who opened his mouth and called the emperor's name came over, Zhao Pu.
The Nine Princes looked at the sky, "But if he doesn't take the initiative to beat people, it doesn't mean that Zhao Zhen won't provoke him!" β
Everyone was stunned and turned to look at it.
I saw that the emperor was smiling at this time, and the three sons of Jiangnan were discussing the countermeasures.
Tianzun was curious, "Will the little emperor take the initiative to provoke that bald head?" The bald head looked quite fierce. β
Nangong looked at the sky, "Is it just that you feel when you look at the fierce provocation...... Is he still afraid that people will beat him? β
Everyone frownedβdidn't they......
"Oh, that bald head will definitely hit the royal brother!" After all, Zhao Lan has been a brother and sister with Zhao Zhen for so many years, and she knows her black-bellied royal brother very well, "The royal brother will definitely pick up what he doesn't like to hear......"
Before Zhao Lan finished speaking, she heard Zhao Zhen suddenly ask, "Eh?" Wasn't Yan Shaogong the one who was expelled from Taixue? β
The crowd "uproar", it was also a mystery that Yan Shaogong didn't learn too much about bricks back then, although outsiders didn't know, but people from several major academies had heard about it, so they ...... Which pot in the legend does not open which pot?
Nangong held his forehead and said to Ouyang who was also looking at the sky on the side, "Why don't you go get some Imperial City troops to come and wait outside?" β
Ouyang shook his head and left.
Wu Yiwu hugged his arms and smiled, "Zhao Zhen's child is very interesting, what will he do?" I think he is bad, the other party should have been prepared, but he didn't expect to kill Chen Biting Jin halfway. β
Everyone silently swept a handful of bitter tears for Yan Shaogong, this Chen biting gold can't be provoked......
Zhan Zhao was thinking about what would happen to him for a while, when he felt the little fourth son gently tugging at the hem of his clothes.
Zhanzhao reached out and took him from Gongsun's hand.
Xiao Sizi put his arm around Zhanzhao's neck with one hand, and pointed to Yan Shaogong, who was standing at the table not far away, and said, "Maomao, you see he is wearing a ring on his hand." β
Zhan Zhao looked in the direction pointed by the little fourth son, and Bai Yutang and the others were on the side, too.
I saw that Yan Shaogong was wearing a very large silver ring on the index finger of his left hand. The ring was quite old, and the silver was a little black. Yan Shaogong's family has a lot of money, and anyone who can enter Qiankun Academy has silver, how can he wear a tattered silver ring? Everyone took a closer look and was stunned.
I saw that the ring Yan Shaogong was wearing was made of three snakes gathered together, and there was no gem in the center of the ring, only three snake heads arranged in the shape of petals. What makes everyone even more suspicious is that although this snake head only has a simple outline, it feels exactly the same style as the three snake heads on the three-headed golden top cavity.
"Master Bao is right, there are always clues in places with a lot of people." Zhan Zhao tapped his chin lightly, "I'll just say that Qiankun Academy is always dangling in front of me, dare to love this case, and it has something to do with them." β
