"What? Is the emperor insane? Sima Hongyan said in shock.

Her appearance made Yan Hong very satisfied, and Yan Hong smiled: "On the surface, it looks a little incredible, but if you think about it from the emperor's point of view, it is not difficult to guess." Of course, it is not so easy to take the city from Yanling. Do you know how the emperor made the rules? ”

Sima Hongyan glared at him, and said angrily: "If you want to say it, just say it, don't always ask me if I know it." Is it fun to deliberately sell guanzi? Again, believe it or not, I'm going to blow you out? ”

Yan Hong laughed for a while, her heart was satisfied by teasing her, and it was really fun to see her puffing out her cheeks and angry.

Laughing enough, Yan Hong stopped being verbose, and carefully explained the differences in this year's martial arts conference.

On the eve of this year's martial arts conference, Emperor Yanzhen issued four invitations, inviting the east, west, north and south countries to participate. As long as you can win in the competitive competition with your ability, you can get a reward from the imperial court.

Each of the five countries sent ten representatives to participate in a number of competitions, and the final winner was determined by the number of winners, and if Yanling won, the other four countries would sign a ten-year cessation of war with Yanling. In the next 10 years, the land of Yanling must not be violated for a single step. If another country wins, Yanling will give ten cities as a reward to the victorious country.

If you want to talk about the dispute between the five countries, Yanling takes the city as a note, and it is really difficult to say whether the victory or defeat is true, but Yanling has the prerequisites of time, place, and people. That's fair to the other four countries!

Sima Hongyan pondered it carefully and said: "The emperor is far-sighted, this is a wonderful move!" ”

Yan Hong asked, "How do you say it?" ”

Sima Hongyan snorted and said, "Knowingly asked." ”

However, Sima Hongyan still analyzed it in detail, she took out the map of the Central Plains, pointed it and said: "In my opinion, in terms of the current strength between the five countries, Dongning is the strongest!" But Dongning and Beiling have always had grievances, and they have fought several times when they come and go, although Beiling has lost more and won less, but it has restrained Dongning. Dongning has made several tentative attacks on us, but Beiling has state-owned trade with our country, so in order to prevent us from joining forces with Beiling, they don't dare to go too far.

The second is the Southern Alien, the Southern Soldier is powerful in witchcraft and good at using poison. However, we have never had any major disputes with Yanling over the years, although there is no need to worry on the surface, but we can't take it lightly.

West Vietnam can be said to be mortal enemies because of my father's blow to them that almost wiped out the country, and recently they have been constantly raising troops and harassing them on the border, which is the most troublesome.

However, Nanyi once took advantage of the emptiness of Western Vietnam's national strength to rob the five cities of Western Vietnam, and I think there should be some hostile relations between them.

And the main problem is that Yanling is located in the center, and they all border with the four countries. Once an alliance is established between the four countries, I am afraid that the enemy will be on the back, and Yanling will be very dangerous.

When my father was still alive, the West Vietnam had no power to fight back, and it was a shock to other countries, so we lived in peace for more than ten years. But now that my dad has died, it's inevitable that they're starting to stir up again.

I think that the emperor just used this martial arts conference to throw out such a big reward temptation, so that the other four countries compete with each other and create suspicions, so as to reduce the threat to us. It also makes it impossible for the four of them to form an alliance. ”

Yan Hong was amazed by Sima Hongyan's thorough analysis, and asked, "How did you come up with this?" ”

Sima Hongyan smiled and said, "I always go to Uncle Liao's when I have nothing to do, it was Uncle Liao who told me." ”

Yan Hong said: "Even if General Liao told you, but with such a clear understanding of the relationship between forces, you must have worked hard to study it." ”

Sima Hongyan thought for a moment and said, "My father's mystery is mixed in these confusing relationships, how can I not care?" Having said that, the emperor's arrangement is good, but if one country really wins, do we really have to give up ten cities? ”

Yan Hong said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't plan to give anyone ten cities at all. ”

"I think so." Sima Hongyan continued: "If it weren't for the complete certainty, the emperor would not have come up with such a solution." ”

Yan Hong said: "Although I don't know the emperor's plan yet, according to my understanding of the emperor, he is not a person who can suffer." ”

Sima Hongyan suddenly smiled and said, "Have you found it?" Your speech is becoming more and more influenced by me. Where did you dare to talk about the emperor behind your back before? When you mention the emperor, you can't wait to kneel down and kowtow immediately. ”

Yan Hong said: "How can I have? I just dare to talk to you here, I don't believe anyone else except you. Okay, let's not talk about that. You're definitely going to this event, right? I'll arrange it for you. ”

Sima Hongyan smiled slyly and said, "Of course I want to go." However, I signed up for the competition! ”

Why do you want to participate in this martial arts event? Sima Hongyan has his own plans.

When Sima Yongcheng was alive, he commanded the whole army and became famous all over the world. And after his death, the mansion was invaded, and the descendants suffered*. No matter what the era, the cruelty of this reality has never changed.

If Sima Hongyan wants to live in obscurity, it is very simple, just endure humiliation and steal life. But that's never the point of making her die and be reborn! Sima Hongyan couldn't do it either. No wealth, no power, especially in these times, being crushed to death is like an ant.

She wants to restore the prestige of the Sima family, and she wants to control her own destiny. Then what she needs most now is rights. And the martial arts event is the beginning of her first step.

What if it's a woman? You can still be a leader, a general, and a heroine who can make men surrender at their feet. Since I don't want others to decide my life and death, then I'll decide the life and death of others!

In fact, the martial arts conference is not just a grand event of martial arts, but a competition of ten skills, each of which can only be ranked in the top ten can enter the final palace test. The palace examination is actually the final selection test in front of the emperor and civil and military officials! Even if those who can enter the palace examination do not get the first place in the competition, they still have the opportunity to enter the court and become officials. Therefore, every year at the martial arts conference, the imperial court can include hundreds of talents.

However, this year, there are four other countries participating, so the rules have been slightly adjusted. The first place winner in each skill assessment will compete with the representatives of the four countries, and the country with the most winners in the last ten competitions will be the victorious country. This is not only a contest between people, but also a contest between countries. Victory is not only a personal honor, but also a matter of national face. The meaning is also naturally extraordinary.

Since the promulgation of the imperial decree, the people of Yanling have signed up enthusiastically. Fight for the country, everyone moves forward.

You can choose more than one of the decathlon competitions according to your own conditions, and if you are all-around, you can also register for the decathlon without restrictions. But who is really proficient in everything? There are only a handful of people who can report more than five.

What are the 10 contests? They are literature, martial arts, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, debate, leadership, business, and judgment.

Wen! It's a literary talent. The examiner gives the question, and the contestant answers according to the question. The content of the examination is all famous works in the world. Actually, it depends on how much you read.

Military! Name implies. It is the level of martial arts.

Violin! It's piano skills. or famous songs, or self-created, to see who can rely on ten fingers to pluck the seven emotions and six desires in people's hearts.

Chess! Playing Go, however, is not a game between two people, but a game to solve. There are tens of millions of endgames in the world, and the winners and losers will be assessed according to the difficulty.

Book! It's writing. In fact, it is also imitation of words, how easy it is to write independently into a body, compared to whose words are imitated, and how similar is imitation. Celebrity fonts are also divided into levels of difficulty, and they are not written just by taking them.

Draw! Painting. The agility between the pen and ink is as if in the middle of it. It will be judged by everyone in the world on the spot.

Argue! Eloquence. The examiner cites opposing questions, and the contestants explain the arguments respectively, and whoever says well wins. There are as many as 50 judges in this item, and the winner is determined by the vote.

Collar! Military talents. Not only is the strategy of the military test, but there are also various hypothetical enemy positions on the sand table, and you can arrange the troops according to the men and horses you have to defeat the enemy. The judges are a group of generals headed by Liao Ziling.

Business! The way of doing business. Set the amount of gold and silver materials for you, from daily life to business buying and selling, depending on how you distribute it. It's not about how you spend your money, it's about whether you can earn it.

Break! Analytical judgment. This test is the mind, or there are official case files, or there are things to distinguish people, in short, let you find the final answer according to a little clue.

Each of these ten skills requires years of learning and honing to excel. It is in this way that the level of employment in the imperial court can be guaranteed, and it is in this way that Yanling is the most prominent talent among the five countries.
