Shi Jinyan stood up, let Ban Lingruo do her position, and said to her: "You eat something first, I'll go to the back and wake everyone else up, it is said that many people slept late last night, and it is estimated that they are still sleeping." ”

After about a stick of incense, everyone came to the hall to gather. Seeing that several people were still yawning, Sima Hongyan couldn't help but shake his head.

However, she still doesn't know if everyone has arrived, because she has never counted how many people have come to participate in the closed training. I had to look at Shi Jinyan helplessly for help.

Shi Jinyan is careful by nature, and after entering the palace, she has already memorized the number of people in the house. Seeing Sima Hongyan give her a look, she swept everyone over, and then nodded to Sima Hongyan.

There were a total of thirty-six people who received secret training in the palace, in addition to the three Sima Hongyan sisters, there were also five women. The other 28 were all men.

Although the top three players are required to participate in each cross competition, people like Sima Hongyan and Shi Jinyan, who have won many championships, will not be able to participate in both competitions at the same time, so although they are in fourth place, they also join in exceptionally, in case they can't be separated during the competition.

After everyone quieted down, Sima Hongyan spoke: "Everyone, although we are still two days away from the competition, we don't need to stay up late to train. If you want to perform normally in the game, you must ensure that you are in the best physical and mental condition. If you torture yourself without eating or sleeping for three days, when it comes to the competition, even if you know yourself and your opponent, you are physically and mentally exhausted like you are now, and you may lose the game you can win. ”

Seeing that everyone was silently bowing their heads, Sima Hongyan sighed and said, "Those who didn't rest last night, and those who slept for less than two hours, are all going to the back hall to sleep now." I'll let you refresh this morning, and we'll talk about it in the afternoon. And don't let that happen again, or I'll disqualify you from the competition. ”

After Sima Hongyan finished speaking, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, but no one moved.

Sima Hongyan saw that no one was obedient, and after a little pondering, he knew everyone's thoughts. So he said: "The rest of you will do corresponding exercises in the morning according to the content I analyzed for you yesterday, and when everyone is together in the afternoon, I will explain some key issues." Now rest assured, right? ”

Unexpectedly, even if Sima Hongyan said so, no one moved. And he looked at her with a look that felt that Sima Hongyan was making a fuss. It made Sima Hongyan very awkward, and it was difficult to understand these people.

In fact, these people who participate in the competition are extremely competitive, and it is difficult to accept that they are worse than others. Those who stay up all night to hone themselves just want to take advantage of other people's rest time to improve themselves in order to avoid being surpassed by others.

In particular, they will have to face the challenges of the other four countries, lest they have the slightest negligence and lead to failure. If you fail, it means that you will lose face in front of the world, you will disgrace your family, you will discredit your country, and you will ruin the future of your life.

Sima Hongyan knows this mentality very well, just like those stars she sees in modern times. If you want to be famous, you may have to pay a price that others can't imagine, and once you succeed, you have to do everything in your power to maintain your perfect image. If there is a little negative effect, it can be lost overnight, and then gradually disappear from people's vision and be replaced by other new people.

Therefore, the more you stand at the high point of fame and public opinion, the more you live on thin ice and be cautious.

This is especially true of these princes and nobles, who carry with them personal fame, family glory, and national expectations. makes them feel like they have a knife hanging in their hearts, for fear that their little mistake will be reduced to a joke.

Some of these people come from ordinary people, who have lived hard for several years and studied hard, hoping to one day get ahead by learning from their own talents. This rare opportunity to contribute to the country may be an opportunity to soar, and how can this opportunity easily slip away from the eyes.

But no matter what the purpose is, Sima Hongyan must ensure that these people use the best mental state to face the menacing envoys of the four countries. If you really want to skip eating or sleeping just to be able to memorize more things, then you won't be able to play because of your poor state. It is likely that the result was not defeated at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of oneself.

In fact, it is impossible to say that there is really a leap forward in the past three days. The reason why these people can be gathered in the palace today is entirely due to their years of study and accumulation.

And Sima Hongyan's purpose is very clear, that is, not to let these people get into the tip of the horns, and sacrifice their lives to do some useless stupid things. Not only is it ineffective, but it is hindered.

But if he wanted to explain these stubborn guys in a few words, Sima Hongyan felt that it was difficult, after all, they had already taken this for granted in their minds.

Since it can't be reasonable, let's be hard. Sima Hongyan invited Shi Jinyan to her side and said to everyone: "The poetry girl has a very good memory, who of you slept late last night and who didn't sleep all night, she knows everything in her heart." I'll give you another chance to do what I just said, otherwise I'll let the poet girl report your names one by one, and whoever is named by the poet girl, I will immediately ask the emperor to decree that you will be exempted from the competition. If you think I'm alarmist, you can try. As she spoke, she slapped the token given to her by the emperor on the table.

These people used to read books, play chess, study knowledge, or come across things that interest them, and it is common for them to stay up all night. I didn't expect Sima Hongyan to be so serious about this kind of thing, and she felt that she was a little strong, and she couldn't help but show a resentment on her face.

But at this time, through what happened yesterday, everyone has already understood Sima Hongyan's fierceness and fearlessness, not to mention that she still has the emperor's token in her hand, no one doubts that Sima Hongyan can do what she says.

Just when everyone was still hesitating, Sima Hongyan persuaded again: "Don't think I'm making trouble unreasonably, if you listen to me today, it will only be good for you, and there will be no harm at all." I can't explain it to you for a moment, but I want to ask you to trust me and do what I say! After the Five Nations Tournament, you will understand my kindness. ”

Sima Hongyan was both soft and hard, and everyone was a little relieved.

At this time, Guo Zidi suddenly stood up, walked out of the crowd, came to Sima Hongyan, hugged his fists and said, "I can trust the girl!" And as I said, I will definitely obey your orders for the past three days, and I will go to sleep in the back. With that, he strode to the back hall.

Sima Hongyan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the first person to stand up to support him was this Guo Zidi.

Guo Zidi left, and the others no longer insisted, one after another, and they all entered the back hall in twos and threes.

The rest of the people followed Sima Hongyan's prompts yesterday to figure out their own competition methods, and those who needed to practice went to the corner to work on their own.

In the secret room in the corner, Emperor Yanzhen saw all this through the square hole. He said to the two people behind him: "This Sima Hongyan is really different from ordinary people, even whether other people have a good rest at night must be taken so seriously." I'm curious, what effect can she achieve with this closed training? What do you say? ”

One of the two behind him is the general Liao Ziling, and the other is Li Mingzhong. The two glanced at each other, and Li Mingzhong said: "Sima Hongyan has always done things so unexpectedly, and the emperor has also learned it, she must have her own reasons for doing this." ”

Emperor Yanzhen smiled: "You said this as if you didn't say it." Sima Hongyan has always been upside down in what he says and does, which is already known to the world. Outsiders laugh at her for being crazy, but every time she can give unexpected results. What a trick! ”

Li Mingzhong said: "Your Majesty! IMHO. Since the strange incident of Sima Hongyan's resurrection from the dead, Chen felt that her temperament seemed to have changed drastically, as if she had changed people. ”

Sima Hongyan didn't know what Emperor Yanzhen looked like, so he turned his head curiously and asked, "What does Xiangguo mean by this?" ”
