The sky seemed to have broken holes, and the downpour of rain washed away the long-overshadowed capital. The rainy weather at dusk makes the Imperial City eerie.

At this moment, the ministers in the palace still did not disperse, and in the brightly lit imperial study, Xiaozong fidgeted and looked out from time to time.

He's waiting, waiting for a result!

Although, he doesn't know if this result is good or bad!

Ever since seeing Ye Yu's recital, Zhao Yan's mood has always been excited and worried.

He was eager to visit the guild hall in person, but he eventually dismissed the idea.

At that time, Zhao Yan's mood was extremely complicated, the literati of the two countries competed in talent, and if he was the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, it would be equivalent to lowering his status.

Moreover, in the face of the unknown result, Zhao Yan suddenly felt a kind of daunted, and did not dare to face the scene of the fiasco!

The heavy rain continued to beat against the roof, and the sound was extremely clear in the quiet of the imperial study. Zhao Yan put his hands behind his back and paced among the ministers, obviously a little restless.

"陛xià! 陛xià! 陛xià! ……”

Suddenly, there was a hurried sound from outside the main hall, and then hurried footsteps walked into the imperial study.

I saw Liang Ke running in happily, leaning over and bowing to congratulate him: "Congratulations, according to Xiao Liuzi's report, Lord Ye repelled Zhuo Tuomu, who was a good hand talker, and slandered the 'Ghost Valley God' Yan Mingcheng!" ”

"What? Seriously? Zhao Yan dragged Liang Ke's arms in surprise, grabbed it tightly, and asked solemnly.

"Your Majesty, now that everyone in the capital knows about this, how can it be false! The four national players are accompanying Lord Ye to the palace, presumably in a moment, His Majesty will be able to see Lord Ye! ”

Hiss!

Liang Ke's short words surprised all the ministers waiting in the imperial study, and the still quiet and terrible imperial study suddenly boiled, and everyone turned their heads one after another, and it was difficult to hide the ecstasy on their faces.

At this moment, whether it was admiring Ye Yu or rejecting Ye Yu, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhao Yan was not like ordinary people who were suddenly ecstatic, but was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud with relief.

At this moment, he was anxious to meet Ye Yu, a hero, so he immediately ordered: "Okay! A good Ye Yu, really live up to my hopes, pass on the decree, I give Ye Aiqing privileges, there is no need to pass the palace to enter the palace, and there is no obstacle to passing through the palace gate! ”

Not long after, Ye Yu, Xu Xingyue and others came to the imperial study, Ye Yu walked to the front and said softly: "Weichen knocks to see Your Majesty!" ”

"Aiqing, please get up quickly, you are a meritorious hero of my Great Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Yan had already learned the news of Ye Yu's leg injury from Gonggong Liu's mouth, and also heard about the ten miles of Anfeng people's send-off, he was very pleased with such a capable minister.

Moreover, now he is the leader alone, fighting against the Bada Shanren with the strength of one person, which makes Zhao Yan very dependent on Ye Yu.

"Thank you!" Ye Yu slowly stood up with a pale face.

At this time, Xu Xingyue could not hide the excitement in his heart, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, today's battle can be described as unparalleled!" Now Weichen knows what is the frog at the bottom of the well! Compared to Lord Ye, the four of us are just ignorant children......"

Xu Xingyue's words can be described as extremely solemn, and he is even more convinced by Ye Yuxin! The other three also nodded very guiltily, agreeing with Xu Xingyue's point of view.

"Oh? Ye Aiqing, tell me quickly, the excitement of this......" At this moment, Zhao Yan couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and turned his head to ask Ye Yu.

But just as Zhao Yan turned his head to ask, he saw that Ye Yu's eyes were already slightly closed, and his body staggered and collapsed to the ground.

Wow!

This time everyone panicked, but the most panicked was Zhao Yan, who hurriedly stepped down from the dragon chair and came closer, seeing that Ye Yu's face was pale and bloodless, so he hurriedly shouted: "Pass the imperial doctor!" Fast! ”

The imperial study is a mess at the moment, and no one thought that this kind of thing would happen. Suddenly, everyone was in a hurry! Immediately, the eunuch sent Ye Yu to the side hall to wait for the imperial doctor's treatment.

Under Zhao Yan's order, almost all the imperial doctors of the entire Imperial Medical Department were present, and in the entire room, except for Ye Yu on the bed, all the imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Department were standing.

After an hour of diagnosis and treatment, the doctors discussed before they walked out of the room and reported their condition to Zhao Yan, who was waiting anxiously outside the room.

"Your Majesty, Lord Ye, he ......"

The Imperial Physician Wang was about to speak, but was interrupted by the anxious Zhao Yan, who asked very eagerly: "How is Ye Aiqing's condition, tell me quickly!" ”

"Lord Ye, due to the fatigue and fatigue of running around, and the fact that today's mental injury is very great, he will be exhausted and unconscious, if it weren't for Lord Ye's youth and strength, such a loss would definitely be exhausted......"

Imperial Physician Wang's words made Zhao Yan happy and inexplicably moved, and then ordered: "Ye Aiqing's body recuperation will be entrusted to your Imperial Physician Department to be fully responsible!" But don't keep this matter quiet, go down! ”

"Yes!"

Then Zhao Yan motioned for the ministers to leave, and he pushed the door alone and entered the side hall.

……

At the fourth watch, the pouring rain had stopped, Ye Yu opened his eyes groggily, and found himself lying on a big bed, and then looked to the side, only to find a middle-aged man standing in front of the bed.

Ye Yu's cloudy eyes suddenly became clear, and he immediately sat up from the bed, because he saw clearly the appearance of this person, who was Zhao Yan, the emperor of the current Great Song Dynasty.

So he hurriedly got out of bed and saluted, but Zhao Yan dissuaded: "Okay, this is not above the main hall, so there is no need for such a lot of courtesy!" ”

"The courtesy of the monarch and the minister, the micro-minister does not dare to trespass!"

The leaders are generally so kind and close to the people, and they all look like they have no official structure. But if you really take it seriously, then you will be ignorant and commit a big taboo.

Ye Yu knew this better than anyone else, so he didn't dare to take Zhao Yan's words seriously.

"Gift of the monarch, hehe! What Aiqing said is not unreasonable......"

Zhao Yan smiled at himself with a complicated expression, and then continued: "But your body is still very weak, so you don't have to be like this!" The courtesy of the monarch and the minister is important, but how can human life be ignored? ”

"Thank you for each other's kindness, Weichen just spent a lot of energy in the duel with the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, but it didn't hurt much!"

Looking at Ye Yu with a solemn expression, Zhao Yan's eyes inadvertently showed a look of relief: "With Aiqing here, it seems that it is also providence!" God bless me Da Song! But Aiqing's body is not as good as ......"

"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, Weichen will definitely sweep away the Eight Great Mountain People of the Jin Kingdom for His Majesty! Weichen's figure, with a few of them, can't be dragged down! ”

"My Great Song Dynasty established the country with literature, after the three competitions convened by the Eight Great Academies and His Majesty, the literary style of my Great Song Dynasty is about to be exhausted, if it drags on any longer, I am afraid that it will shake the foundation and hurt its vitality!"

"So you've compressed these eight duels into four?"

Zhao Yan's inquiry, Ye Yu did not respond positively, but said solemnly: "If you want to raise your eyebrows and make the Song people no longer low, the only way is to completely crush and trample on the proud dignity of the Jin Kingdom!" ”

"And to do this, if Weichen wins with one enemy and eight enemies, it is only crushing at best; But if it is trampled on, it must be like today, Weichen bucks the trend, so that they have no power to fight back, and trample it under their feet! ”

When Ye Yu talked about today's battle, he was still angry, and even Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel a chill when he heard this.

However, Zhao Yan also agreed with Ye Yu's approach, as Ye Yu analyzed, the fiasco in the past few days has made the literati of the Great Song Dynasty depressed.

And if you want to restore your vitality, it is a fierce counterattack of this rebound!

"Holding the right to kill, three steps and five kills the cold of the world, the beacon fire is three thousand wind and clouds, and the corpse is drunk and sleeps ......"

Zhao Yan slowly read out the poems that Ye Yu had made during the day, and then smiled at Ye Yu deeply: "What a big spirit, even when I listen to these four poems, I can't help but boil my blood!" ”

"Wechen is terrified, this poem is just an accidental emotion when Wechen is playing, please also ask Your Majesty to be clear!"

Ye Yu, who came back to his senses, found that he was a little crazy at the beginning, and he actually made such a verse against the sky. I am not the emperor, if I make such a poem in the Qing Dynasty, it is equivalent to rebellion!

At this moment, Zhao Yan read these four lines of poetry, and Ye Yu wiped his sweat in fear!

"Aiqing doesn't have to worry, I don't have any other intentions, I just love these four poems very much, and I think I also had lofty ambitions back then......"

As he spoke, Zhao Yan seemed to be caught up in his own memories.

After a while, Zhao Yan waved his hand and said: "Tomorrow Aiqing will fight against the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, I won't bother you, what is needed in this palace, discuss with Gonggong Liu outside the palace!" You can walk as you like in this big inner forbidden palace, this is the privilege I give you! ”

"Uh......"

Zhao Yan's last sentence almost scared Ye Yu's jaw off. This big inner forbidden palace can walk at will, even the royal relatives don't necessarily have this kind of privilege!

Looking at Zhao Yan, who had already left, Ye Yu had to kowtow and thank him: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

Then he lay back on the bed, although he really wanted to study the structure of the palace carefully, but he was really sleepy in the middle of the night, and after a few hours, he had to compete with the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, so it was better to recuperate.

In fact, Ye Yu did not tell the truth one thing in Fang Cai's dialogue, and that was another reason why the eight duels were changed to four.

Ye Yu asked himself that he had no chance of winning with a pair of eights, so he would combine the two into one, so that he could restrain the opponent's play and let himself stand on the moral high ground.

Take today's duel as an example, if Ye Yu is one-on-one, and Zhuo Tuomu concentrates on playing a game of chess, Ye Yu may not be able to win.

However, Ye Yu knows how to play two games of chess at the same time, which is a kind of restraint and a constraint for Zhuo Tuomu!

Moreover, Ye Yu asked to play blind chess, and he also used his own expertise to restrain Zhuo Tuomu!

Just as some people are good at algebra, but not necessarily good at geometry. Blind chess tests not only the ability to calculate, but also the imagination of space......

At the same time, the addition of Wanyan Mingcheng seems to be unfavorable to Ye Yu, but it is actually the advantage of disadvantages! Arithmetic is a discipline that covers a lot of things, not just calculating the probability of a chess game.

Ye Yu thought that in arithmetic, he did not dare to say that he was invincible in the world, so he was not completely sure of the battle against Wanyan Mingcheng.

However, Ye Yu is extremely strong in calculating the steps of the chess game, so imprisoning Wanyan Mingcheng's arithmetic skills in the chess game is obviously beneficial to Ye Yu.

Because if you compete in all directions, he may not be the opponent of Yan Mingcheng!

So this duel, it seems that Ye Yu is arrogant, but in fact, he has a plan for a long time, how can he be so confident if he doesn't know the expertise and killing tactics of these people?

Success can be accidental, but the premise of accident must be inevitable!
