Chapter Ninety-Six: Half-Saint Disciple
Tong Li's face darkened, and he was most worried that something would happen.
Fang Yun did not have the slightest conflict of interest with the Xiucai and Juren of Yuhai City.
Although his grandfather was a third-grade squire, and even had a good relationship with Li Wenying, and he also had a certain amount of power in Yuhai City, but this Yuhai City was the world of the Holy Courtyard and Li Wenying and others after all, and Fang Yun was valued by Li Wenying, and Li Wenying's people would naturally help Fang Yun.
Xiucai is the whole Jiangzhou test together, and Fang Yun is the same in any prefecture and city, so the middle-level scholars in Yuhai City not only do not dislike Fang Yun, but expect Fang Yun to leave a great literary name in Yuhai City, and many people even hope that they can leave a good name.
Tong Li scolded these people in his heart, no wonder these people knew that Fang Yun was here and didn't remind them, they were waiting for him to jump into the pit, and then put on the appearance of having the same hatred as Fang Yun.
Tong Li knew his level very well, so he deliberately took the government exam two years late, in order to be the first Maocai, and he didn't dare to think about the name of "Xie Yuan" of the first person.
For the sake of Maocai's name, he has been preparing for many years, and he has determined that this year's chance is the greatest, but he didn't expect to kill a party in the air, and he couldn't swallow this breath.
Tong Li's face quickly turned from gloomy to clear, and said with a smile: "You have also seen it, you want Fang Yun to participate in the dragon boat race, but he doesn't want to participate, I came here just to provoke him, but also for his good." Can you hear me finish?"
"Tell me about it. "That's humane.
Tong Li smiled and said: "Fang Yun, I'm afraid you may not know the Dao, this annual dragon boat race, its competition rules originate from the holy land 'Xuehai', right?"
"I've seen it in books, but I don't know the details. Fang Yundao.
"That's it. In this dragon boat race in Yuhai City, the prefect and the lord of the courtyard will use the official seal together to mobilize the talent of the temple to cover the river section of the dragon boat race. Our dragon boat racing here is not better than who is the best at rowing, but better than who writes poetry. The more talent in poetry and writing, the stronger it echoes with the official seal, and the more vitality of heaven and earth will be driven, which will promote the dragon boat. All these rules are changed from 'learning the sea', if you participate in the dragon boat race this year, and then you will get twice the result with half the effort if you go to learn sea fishing in the future. ”
The crowd did not refute it, and in this way alone, it was indeed beneficial to the fortune of the other party.
Tong Li continued to laugh and said: "But since Fang Yun doesn't want to be famous, then I will gamble on him in order to provoke him." As long as Fang Yun can win the first place in this dragon boat race, I will not only be willing to give me a holy page given to me by my grandfather, but also kneel down in public at Longtou Bridge to admit my mistakes, and make every effort to clarify the previous matter of grabbing the place in Shushan and give up this year's government exam. If Fang Yun can't compete for the first place, I don't need you to kneel down, I just need you to set up a table in Jinghai Tower to apologize to me, and then go back to Dayuan Mansion to test Xiucai, how about it?"
At this time, even those who helped Fang Yun were not easy to refute, after all, the price paid by Tong Li was extremely high, and it was obviously Fang Yun who took advantage.
Everyone looked at Fang Yun together.
Zhao Zhuzhen frowned slightly, and gave Fang Yun a look, as if to ask him not to agree.
Fang Yun didn't respond to Zhao Zhuzhen, stared at Tong Li for a long time before saying, "Brother Tong is really hardworking." If I don't participate in the dragon boat race, I will be disappointed by my brother's good intentions. Which dragon boat team would like me to participate?"
The crowd hesitated.
Tong Li immediately looked at the person who scolded him and said, "Brother Qian, since you are also participating in the dragon boat race, why don't you let Fang Yun join?"
Qian Juren looked at Fang Yun and asked, "Brother Fang, are you really willing to participate in the dragon boat race?"
"Naturally. ”
"That's good. According to the rules, each dragon boat can take three lifters and three talents, and our dragon boat will replace one person and replace you with it. Qian Juren was very happy, as a person who had no conflict of interest with Fang Yun, he wanted to make friends with Fang Yun even more.
Fang Yun arched his hand to everyone and said, "Everyone, you can help me testify today, if I and Brother Qian and others fail in the dragon boat race, I will leave Yuhai City immediately, and I will never step into it from now on." After Fang Yun finished speaking, he looked at Tong Li.
Tong Li immediately said loudly: "Then I also ask you to be a witness, if Fang Yun can win the first place in the dragon boat race, I will immediately kneel down in front of the whole city at the Longtou Bridge and kowtow to him three times!"
Zhao Zhuzhen said: "Tong Li, since you said so, if you can't do it then, don't blame me for forcing you to kowtow!"
Everyone could see the anger in Zhao Zhu's heart, most people didn't know who this person was, how dare he talk to Tong Li like this, while a few people showed a little surprise.
"I'll go to Longtou Bridge first and wait!" Tong Li arched his hand and walked downstairs quickly, and several children behind him immediately followed.
Walking out of Yuhe Tower, a person behind Tong Li hurriedly said: "Brother Tong, what's wrong with you today? Who doesn't know the name of Fang Yun's poem, why do you still have to bet with him?"
"Yes, Brother Tong is really unwise. ”
"I think Tong Li, this kid looks confident, he must know what to say, and explain it honestly!"
Tong Liha smiled and said, "Do you know who Qingguo sent to participate in the dragon boat race today?"
"It is said that there is a disciple of Shijun, one of the four great talents, and I don't know whether this is true or false. But even if the other party is a disciple of Shijun, Fang Yun is not far behind, how can you be completely sure to beat Fang Yun?"
Tong Li still smiled and said, "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other." I only learned about Lu Dao yesterday, and Yan Yukong, a closed disciple of Qingguo's half-saints, also came! The dragon boat race is not a competition for one person, but a competition for three lifters and three Xiucai in the same boat, and it is a competition for many people. A Shijun disciple is not as good as Fang Yun, so with Yan Yukong, what are the chances of his Fang Yun winning?"
It is said that his talent not only surpasses that of Qingguo Shijun, but is not even inferior to the first genius of a hundred years, Yi Zhishi, and is the most likely candidate for the next half-saint of Qingguo, why did he come?"
It is said that he was able to become a jinshi at the age of sixteen, but he was pressed by his half-saint teacher and personally took him to travel the world, and he was going to be admitted to the jinshi this year, exactly eighteen years old. Last year, some people said that Yan Yukong not only wanted to compete for the champion of the Qing country, but also wanted to compete for the head of the ten countries! If he became the head of the ten countries, he would inevitably become the first of the five talents, and the four great talents of the next generation would naturally not be a problem. ”
The smile on Tong Li's face was even stronger, and he said, "It's good that you know the talent of Yan Dao and Yan Yukong." Although Fang Yun has a famous teacher, how can he compare to Yan Yukong's half-saint words and deeds! His so-called famous teacher may just be a certain great Confucian or half-saint who points out his fingers, and he himself clings to that person as a teacher, and that person may not want to recognize him as a disciple!"
"What Brother Tong said is! Fang Yun is dead this time!"
"Brother Tong is scheming!"
"No wonder Qingguo is willing to take out the mountains and rivers chessboard. It's a pity. The person who spoke sighed lightly, and then the others realized that there was no harmony between Qingguo and Jingguo, and even took a state of Qingguo, so they stopped talking.
Tong Li's face was gloomy, and it was not easy to have a seizure.
"Brother Tong, who is that sissy?"
"That person seems to be a woman disguised as a man, Brother Tong, who is she?"
Tong Li's face became even more gloomy, and he said, "It's a big man that you and I can't afford to offend." I didn't want to offend her, but since she doesn't like me, then I'll just fight for my talent, and she can't do anything with me!"
In the Yuhe Building, Zhao Zhuzhen told Fang Yun about the half-saint disciple, and after finishing speaking, he sighed and continued: "I just gave you a look, I just want you not to fall for the trick, but you still agreed." Yan Yukong alone hasn't overwhelmed your strength, but with the addition of Shijun's disciples and others, you have almost no chance of winning. ”
Fang Yun asked, "Why did the half-saint disciple participate in this dragon boat race?"
Zhao Zhuzhen said resentfully: "That demi-saint of Qingguo may not instruct people to come, but the royal family of Qingguo has always been eyeing me Jingguo. Last year, my Jingguo was defeated by the hands of wolves, and this year's situation is even more severe, Qingguo will naturally take the opportunity to use the Dragon Boat Wenhui to suppress my Jingguo. To put it more seriously, it means that Qingguo is preaching the strength of Qingguo to the people of the Ten Kingdoms and our Jingguo, and preparing for taking over the territory of our country in the future. ”
Fang Yun looked at this Zhao Zhuzhen carefully, and suddenly remembered that the royal family of Jingguo was surnamed Zhao, could it be that this Zhao Zhuzhen, who was dressed as a man, was a county lord or a princess?
Fang Yun immediately recalled the people of the Jingguo clan, there were many county lords, but there was only one young princess, who was the sister of the former emperor and the aunt of the current three-year-old emperor, and the other princesses were not so young.
"I see. If it was to send Shijun disciples, it would be nothing, but even sending half-saint disciples was too much. Fang Yundao.
"Of course, they went too far this time! Otherwise, I wouldn't have come in person!" Zhao Zhuzhen was even more excited, but he didn't hide his voice, more like a woman.
A thought popped up in Fang Yun's heart and asked, "It won't be you who asked Master Li to ask me to come to watch the dragon boat race, right?"
Zhao Zhuzhen said calmly: "I begged Uncle Li to let you come, but seeing that you don't like dragon boat racing, I didn't persuade you much." It's just that I didn't expect that bastard Tong Li to provoke you, I really don't know if I should thank him. Tong Li was managed by Tong Shilang in the capital, and once he left the capital, he became an unsuccessful gentleman, and he really wanted to teach Tong Shilang a lesson for this bastard. ”
Fang Yun didn't expect this Zhao Zhu to be really a straight person, and he regarded himself as a mature person after he had only known him for a short time.
Zhao Zhuzhen quickly found that he was speechless, and hurriedly explained: "I like your poems, I have pondered it repeatedly, and I feel very close to you when I see you today, don't misunderstand." ”
"Brother Zhao is polite, I like to talk quickly. Fang Yun smiled.
"That's fine. Zhao Zhuzhen nodded, returned to his usual calmness, and then said, "I know that your talent is no less than Yan Yukong, but Yan Yukong already has a literary heart." Although the real role of Wenxin is to be used in battle, as long as there is Wenxin in the Wengong Palace, whether it is talent, courage, talent and stability, etc., there is a certain improvement, and it is also of great help to write poetry. ”
