Chapter 166: How the Queen Chooses One of Seven (Part II)

The child named Xiangfeng Long thought for a moment, and asked the queen in a low voice: "Fairy Niangniang, then if I worship you as a teacher and learn skills." Will I also become an immortal when I die? Or will I live forever? ”

The queen smiled kindly, and replied softly, "Good boy, you are so clever that you can think through the problem so thoroughly. I can answer you very clearly, if you learn kung fu with me to a certain level, you will die and rise to the sky to become an immortal, and maybe you will be on an equal footing with me! Do you think it's good? ”

Xiangfeng Long is still a child after all, when he heard the phrase "being a fairy", he smiled happily! He smiled and said to the queen: "Fairy Niangniang, I have thought about it!" No matter which country's emperor said that he enjoyed glory and wealth during his lifetime, he also had a great responsibility, and every day was full of opportunities. After death, it is no different from the people, but in the end it is just a pile of bones! Where can it be compared to the gods at ease! Am I not uncommon to be the emperor? I want to learn skills from the fairy Niangniang, and finally seek a great freedom, and ask for an eternal life! The master is above, please bow to the apprentice! ”

As he spoke, Long Cuo hurriedly knelt down and snorted, with a very serious expression on his face! The queen saw that although Long Cuo was young and was born in the emperor's family, she had broader horizons and thoughts than many adults, and she suddenly had an incomparable love for Long Cuo in her heart!

The queen hurriedly asked Long Cuo to stand up, touched Long Cuo's little head and said, "Long Cuo, in the future, you can just call me master no matter what the occasion, and you don't have to pay attention to what others call me." You are different from others, you are the only disciple I have officially accepted, and there is only a master-apprentice relationship between you and me, not a master-servant relationship, let alone other secular relationships, do you understand? ”

Long Cuo nodded slightly, and said loudly: "Master's words have been written down!" A master is a master! The master is not the mother of the Ziyang Kingdom to me, and I am not the little prince of the Iron Elephant Kingdom in the past. Master, is the apprentice's understanding correct? ”

The queen replied softly: "Those who know me are wrong! After the queen finished speaking, she walked straight to the emperor and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the concubine should take the newly accepted apprentices to rest for a while." After the other six children finished the first two rounds, the concubines returned. The concubine took her leave first. ”

The emperor was puzzled by the scene of the queen's apprenticeship, and he didn't understand why the queen did this? But there was no displeasure on his face. The emperor said loudly: "What a gratifying congratulations! The queen has taken in a new apprentice. There is a successor to this Qingping constellation! I and my ministers are also happy for the queen and the stars! Queen, you and Long Cuo should go back and rest for a while. After the first two rounds of the competition, I will send someone to your palace to ask you to come and preside over the last two rounds. ”

The queen bowed slightly, and then took the dragon's wrong hand and walked out of the main hall. The emperor said to the remaining little princes of the former Iron Elephant Kingdom: "Little princes, are any of you still unable to shoot arrows? If you don't know archery, you won't be able to participate in the first round. ”

The six children standing in the hall said in unison at this time: "Your Majesty, we have never learned archery since we were children!" When our father was alive, he didn't allow us to learn archery! ”

The emperor asked aloud, puzzled: "Oh! I don't know why. Is there anything wrong with this man who has learned a good martial arts? ”

The eldest of the six children replied loudly: "When my father was alive, he often said that learning martial arts and kung fu such as archery is only empty of courage no matter how good you practice!" This is not a skill that the future emperor and prince should learn! When my father was alive, he often said that this is to know how to know people, how to use talents is the most important skill we should learn! What we should learn is the art of war and power, not kung fu! Therefore, none of our brothers know how to shoot arrows, and we don't think there is anything strange about it! ”

After hearing this, the emperor wondered even more, didn't the queen calculate that none of these children knew how to shoot arrows? If it was calculated, why did the queen say that they should let a few people compete in archery in the first round?

The emperor thought about it again, and suddenly a bold and peculiar idea flashed in his mind! He asked the little princes in a loud voice: "Little princes, although you don't know how to shoot arrows!" But that doesn't affect your first round of archery. You're all first-time archers, and no matter how bad your results are, I and the other Aiqing won't make fun of you. I decided that no matter what the results were, I would just take the top three! Do you six think my idea is fair? ”

Look at me, look at you, these children. I feel in my heart that the emperor of the Ziyang Kingdom must have a sick brain, or it is worse than anything, but it is better than a project that six people can't do, what is the point of this?

Although these children are extremely reluctant in their hearts, they also know in their hearts that it is really meaningless to say that they disagree with their situation at this time!

The eldest child said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Purple Sun Kingdom, although we don't fully understand why you insist on doing this? But this comparison is also fair, because we don't know, so we are all fearless, anyway, whether you can choose or not actually depends on the will of God, your mind I think is to see which of us has the most talent for archery, right? ”

The emperor nodded, laughed and said, "What this little prince said is very right! No one can be sure that it depends on the will of God! Whoever providence favors more, whoever wins! Let's not talk about the superfluous words, let's go to the archery range in the back garden with the little princes and my lovers. ”

After a while, everyone arrived at the archery range one after another. The little princes were all arranged to stand two meters away from the rake, and they were ready to shoot arrows.

Since these children are all first-time archers, of course, their results are very unsatisfactory! Three children tried several times, but they felt weak in their hands, and they didn't even have the strength to pull their bows and arrows! So even though the other three children had taken off their rakes, they were able to pull their bows after all! So the three kids who were able to pull the bow won this round!

The three winning children happily hugged each other, they felt that they had taken a substantial step forward from victory, and their hearts were naturally full of pride!

The three eliminated children were all dejected! One of the children walked up to the emperor and said angrily: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Purple Yang Kingdom, although I am young, I can use my personality to vouch for the fact that the reason why my three winning brothers can win is entirely because the three of them are more powerful than our defeated three!" There is also the fact that the three of them don't like pen and ink articles at all on weekdays, so the three of them may all hand in blank papers in the second round of the competition last time, I think it is also entirely possible! When the time comes, you should decide which of the three of them will win and who will lose? ”

As soon as the kid's words were finished, the emperor suddenly realized that the queen might have deliberately set up the game like this! The emperor was overjoyed, and he said to the child who had just spoken to him: "Son, if what you said was not completely out of jealousy, but out of a kind reminder, I thank you very much for your kind information!" But don't forget, child, it's a matter of providence who doesn't choose this. There's no way I can change it! Are you right? ”

The child's eyes were full of tears of grievance, and he shouted loudly: "Emperor of the Purple Sun Kingdom, you made the rules of this competition, why can't you change the rules you just made?" It's too late for you to change now! ”

The emperor gently wiped away the tears on the child's face with his hand, and said kindly: "Child, didn't your father tell you when he was alive that this is the most taboo for a monarch to change the order?" You know the prestige of an emperor? ”

The child stopped crying and nodded as if he didn't understand.

The emperor and everyone returned to the main hall, preparing to let the three winning little princes conduct the second round of article competition.

Shouzun solemnly stood in front of the three little princes, and said loudly: "You three little princes, you have heard clearly!" I want you to write an essay with the title: 'The Rise and Fall of the World' Remember? If you remember, you can start writing now. There is also a time limit for this. I'll give you half an hour to finish it! You must not play with each other, nor do you talk to each other. ”

Among the three little princes, only the eldest one wrote a few lines of article, but the article was chaotic and there were too many typos, and the first emperor really had a headache when he read it! Among the other two children, one only wrote the eight words 'the rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible', and the other did not even write a word!

Shouzun looked at the emperor with a blank expression, and wanted the emperor to decide what to do? The emperor laughed and said, "Don't be embarrassed. Let's take the top two. After all, this little prince also knows that 'the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband', and it is not easy! The first respected smiled with relief and expressed his answer to the emperor.

At this time, the queen walked into the main hall. She whispered to the two winning children: "You two don't have to compete in this third round, I will give each of you a glass of wine, among these two glasses of wine, one is poisonous and one is non-toxic!" Of course, I don't know which cup is poisonous and which one is not! What I want to say is that if you drink poisonous wine, you won't die, but you will become dumb. Non-toxic wine is the best wine in the world, and you will become smarter when you drink it! Did you both see the two glasses of wine on the table? Discuss with the two of you, who will drink the cup on the left? Who drank the cup on the right? ”

The two little princes cried almost at the same time, and the two of them cried together and shouted: "I don't drink a cup, I don't want to be smarter, and I don't want to be dumb!" ”

When the emperor and everyone saw this scene, they were all puzzled? The emperor pondered: The queen usually treats people with kindness! What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd like this?
