At the moment of Shen Shi, there was an endless quarrel in front of Chengfu's door.

Regarding the location of the Shangsi Festival feast, the leaders and Wang Shichong did not give in to each other.

Yang Guanggao sat on the top seat, his demeanor was very leisurely, and he suddenly felt very interesting when he looked at the people below who were arguing.

Enough of the excitement, Yang Guang coughed heavily.

The crowd stopped arguing and looked at him.

Yang Guang said slowly: "It is impossible for you to bring three hundred people each, and you also have to bring weapons into the palace. Since it could not be held in the palace, I agreed to hold a feast outside the city, and it was possible to hold it outside the city on the south, north, and east sides.

"But you've been discussing it for so long, and you haven't agreed on it, so let's put it in the city."

The crowd looked at each other, originally they wanted to hold a feast outside the city, so that it would be safer. But each of the chiefs wanted to be held near their own army, so they were divided into three factions, and none of them would budge.

Now Yang Guang proposed to hold it in the city, which is a neutralizing method.

Li Mi said: "Okay, I have no problem, just let the people watch it together and be a witness." ”

Li Yuan: "I'm fine. ”

Dou Jiande: "I agree." ”

......

All nine chiefs were in favor.

Zhu Cang asked, "Where is Your Majesty going to hold a feast in the city?" ”

"The location is up to you, and the rules of the competition are determined by me." Yang Guang behaved very generously.

He knew that these people were wary of him, so he simply let them come and set the spot.

Li Yuan was most familiar with Luoyang City, and after pondering for a while, he said to everyone: "There are four suitable banquet venues in Luoyang City that can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

"This first place is where we are now; The second is Fengdu in Nancheng District, the third is Tongyuan City in Beicheng District, and the fourth is Datong City in Beicheng District. ”

After listening to Li Yuan's words, the strategists of the various forces began to search for the location of these places in their minds.

As early as after the various forces arrived outside Luoyang City, the leaders sent spies into the city to investigate, and the general layout of Luoyang City was very clear to the various forces.

After consulting with their respective advisors, a new round of quarrels began.

"I'm in favor of holding it in Tongyuan City." This is Liu Wuzhou's voice.

Dou Jiande: "I agree too. ”

"No, it should be held in Datong City." Li Liang said.

Liang Shidu: "I agree. ”

"I don't agree." Li Mi said: "The feast should be held in Fengdu, because Fengdu is the most spacious. ”

"Yes, that's right."

Xue Ju, Xiao Miao, and Zhu Cang responded to Li Mi's proposal.

Wang Shichong sneered: "If you want to say that the most spacious area is where we are standing now, why don't you choose here?" ”

Seongfukumon is the closest to Miyagi, who will choose?

Li Mi and the others turned a deaf ear, and they didn't mean to deal with Wang Shichong at all.

Yang Guang looked very leisurely, and ate one grape after another, "You can discuss it yourself, and then tell me when it's settled." ”

After speaking, he took the peeled grapes from the attendant's hand and continued to eat.

Seeing that Li Yuan didn't speak, Xue Ju shouted, "Why didn't King Tang speak?" Where do you want to host it? ”

Li Yuan smiled slightly, and his demeanor was as relaxed as Yang Guang: "I have no opinion on where to hold it, you can decide." ”

These words sounded extremely confident, and he didn't seem to be worried that the location would affect things in the future, and Xue raised his teeth to hear it, did it show that he was strong?

Hmph, I haven't started to compare yet, who is the strongest, I don't know yet.

At this time, Dou Jiande said: "Everyone, if we discuss like just now, I'm afraid we will have to discuss until dark, so it's better to let God decide." ”

"What kind of decision?" Xue Ju asked.

"Tongyuan City in Beicheng District is the largest, and Fengdu City in Nancheng District is the largest, so we chose one of these two locations as the venue for the feast." Dou Jiande said: "Nine of us, throwing copper coins respectively, choose Tongyuan City on the front side, and choose Feng City on the reverse side. ”

The others thought for a moment and agreed with his suggestion.

So the nine chiefs gathered together and threw the copper coins.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the nine returned to their respective seats, and Dou Jiande said to Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, we have already discussed, and the Shangsi Festival feast will be held in Fengdu." ”

"Okay, I'll send someone to set it up later."

Yang Guang stretched out his hand, and the attendant immediately took a handkerchief and gently wiped his hands for him.

After wiping his hands, the attendant retreated, and Yang Guangcai said loudly: "Since the location has been decided, I will talk about the rules of the competition." ”

Everyone's expressions were stunned, and the main event came.

"The competition is divided into a literary test and a martial test, and there are three literary exams, which are jointly written by the seven great families, and these questions are only known to the patriarchs of the seven great families, and no one else, including me."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar below.

Whether it is in the folk or in the court, the seven great families enjoy high prestige and status, and with them in charge, this competition can convince the people of the world.

Li Yuan and the others' faces became solemn, they didn't expect Yang Guang to invite the patriarch of the Seven Great Families, and they didn't hear any news, it was really shocking.

Yang Guang looked at their expressions and continued: "The martial arts test is very simple, there is only one game, ten people are sent to each for a big melee, and the last person left on the competition table is the winner.

"Weapons can be used, but if the body falls outside the playing table, it is considered eliminated and cannot be continued."

Finally, Yang Guang emphasized: "On the competition stage, no matter life or death. ”

After Li Yuan and the others discussed with their respective advisors, they agreed to the rules of the competition.

"In that case, then you should prepare well."

Yang Guang got up and wanted to leave.

"Your Majesty, slow down."

Wang Shichong got up, came to the middle clearing, and said to Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, since it is a contest between the forces of all parties, then our court should also send a team to compete with it, so as to show fairness." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Cang couldn't sit still, "How can that be?" It's said that it's a Zen position, what do you mean by sending people to participate in Luoyang? Trick us? ”

"Yes." Li Liang followed and said: "If you Luoyang wins, the emperor is still Your Majesty, is it still called Zen?" This is not clear, it is to deceive the world.

"I don't agree."

"I don't agree with that either."

......

Except for Li Yuan and Dou Jiande, everyone else expressed their opposition.

"Huh!"

Wang Shichong sneered and said in a disdainful tone: "What's the matter, are you afraid? Afraid of losing to our Luoyang? ”

"Who is afraid, it's just that you don't follow the rules, it's too shameless." Zhu Cang sneered at each other.

"Who says we're not playing by the rules?" Wang Shichong glanced at everyone with cold eyes, and said slowly: "Your Majesty is true to his word, and what he says will naturally be done."

"The Sui Dynasty has not yet fallen, and the power is still strong, so why can't we participate?

"If we win, why not have the people of Luoyang re-nominate a person of high moral standing to accept the Zen position?"

The crowd was dumbfounded.

Taste it carefully, and it is indeed possible.

Everyone looked at Yang Guang.

Yang Guang looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he was already angry in his heart.

What a Wang Shichong, I treat you well on weekdays, but you want to take my throne?

Okay, good......

Yang Guang endured it and looked at his courtiers: "What do you think of the general's words?" ”

The ministers came out of the ranks, knelt behind Wang Shichong, and said in unison: "The ministers seconded the general." ”

Hearing this, Yang Guang smiled angrily: "Okay, very good...... That's right. ”
