In the palace of the Huanyu Empire to the south, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, and there were several people in military uniforms below.

"How's the communication with the Eagle Empire?"

"Back to Your Majesty, everything has been arranged, and the people we have arranged have been prepared, just wait for the time to come, and let the Haotian Empire be wiped out in a moment, but now the most difficult thing to gnaw is Lin Batian, Lin Batian will not fall, and it will be difficult for the Haotian Empire to fall. ”

"Yes, the Lin family has had god-level figures who can gallop on the battlefield in the past generations, especially this Lin Batian, with him in his way, it is indeed difficult for us to win this war. However, I heard that the Lin family has a gentleman, I don't know if the news is true or not, and he should be almost an adult now, have you asked him for more detailed information?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the kid of the Lin family is currently fifteen years old, our spies did not enter the Lin Mansion, and we can't find out his details, but it is rumored in the capital of the Haotian Empire that this son is very sloppy, and he didn't take anything when he caught lots at the age of one, and he grabbed a sachet directly, and he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it since he was a child, and he was angry with many teaching gentlemen, and finally Lin Batian invited Chen Songru to still not change his habits, and when he was seven years old, he also accepted a five-year-old little girl as a personal maid to serve him. ”

"These are just superficial things, I have to look at the substance, I don't believe that the Lin family will come out with such a waste who does not learn and has no skills. "The Emperor was a little annoyed, he didn't believe that the family of military gods would raise waste.

"The manpower arranged before will be started as soon as possible, and find a way to pull out the thorn in the side of the Lin family, as long as the Lin family perishes, it will be the moment for us to unify the world. ”

The mixed yuan continent is divided into three countries, the Haotian Empire is the strongest, followed by the Huanyu Empire in the south, and then the Xiangying Empire in the west, and the northeast of the Haotian Empire is an endless sea, so there are no troops arranged here, only more than 1,000 people in the northeast school field in charge of Lin Liangdong, the second master of the Zhennan Palace, are stationed.

More than seventy percent of the Haotian Empire's troops are now in the hands of the Lin family, and about twenty percent are subordinate to the right prime minister Xiang family, guarding the western border, and the remaining tens of thousands belong to the Royal Forest Army, which is managed by the Zuo Cheng family.

It can be seen that the power distribution of the Haotian Empire, the Lin family is the largest, but it is only in charge of the army, and then the Guan family and the Xiang family are not much different, the Guan family is supported by the emperor, and even the current queen is the daughter of the Guan family.

Because the Xiang family is also from the military department, they have a good relationship with the Lin family, while most of the Guan family are civil servants and have always been at odds with the Lin family, so when the two families are often awkward, the Xiang family is in the middle of the mud and tries not to let the Lin family suffer.

Recently, the continent has also been very unpeaceful, the Xiangying Empire in the west is about to move, while the Huanyu Empire in the south has not moved at all, which is incredible, but you can feel the atmosphere of the storm.

"Childe, Young Master Xiang is here. ”

"Xiao Linzi, young master, I'm here, don't hurry up and receive me. Lin Feng was about to get up to greet Xiang Tiange, when he heard this shout, he immediately sat down again, crossed Erlang's legs and waited for him to come in by himself.

"Yo, you kid can stand it, don't you get up to pick me up when you see my brother coming?"

Xiang Tiange is the eldest grandson of the Xiang family, two years older than Lin Feng, and because of the friendly relationship between the Xiang Lin family, Xiang Tiange has regarded himself as an elder brother since he was a child. At first, I was not interested in this Xiang Tiange, but Xiang Tiange was too familiar, and over time, Lin Feng also regarded him as a good friend.

"Cut, it seems that you want to pay back the money?" Lin Feng sneered at the corner of his mouth.

"Hehe, brother, it's okay if you're my brother, can you stop mentioning this matter. Hearing Lin Feng's mention of repaying the money, Xiang Tiange immediately became stunned, and hurriedly smiled and flattered.

Xiang Tiange is a real gentleman, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling and playing, he lost all his net worth in the underground casino in the city and owed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, so he asked Lin Feng for help. In fact, that casino is a black field, and it's no wonder that Xiang Tiange doesn't lose.

Later, Lin Feng helped him find the field, won back all the money he had lost to Tiange before, and made millions of dollars by the way, and since then Xiang Tiange has left this handle to Lin Feng, as long as Lin Feng mentions this matter, Xiang Tiange will immediately relent.

"Tell me, find me something. Lin Feng knew that it would be no good for this kid to come, so he would ask about the situation first.

"It's nothing, isn't this the decennial talent conference going to be held again in ten days, I want to invite you to take a look. ”

"I'm not interested. And you don't know the level of the two of us, what are you going to do to participate in the conference?" Lin Feng shook his head.

"Of course not, we are going to make trouble, you also know that our two families are military families, but most of the people in the court are civilian officials, and these civilian officials are selected from this world's talents, and I heard my grandfather tell my father that most of the people who participated in this conference are from the Guan family's lineage, if nothing else, the next Chinese officials in the court will all be the Guan family's world." ”

"Oh, what does that have to do with me?" Although he said this, Lin Feng became interested in this talent conference in his heart, first, he couldn't let the Zuo family succeed, and second, he had promised Chen Lao that he would prove his talent to the world one day.

"I'm not confident to do it alone, you have a bad stomach, there are a lot of ghost ideas, I want you to help, I can't get used to the Zuo family's people, after reading a few years of books, I look like Lao Tzu is the first in the world, and I am afraid of evil, this is a once-in-a-decade event, if I can make them ugly, I don't know how happy I will be. ”

"You're just having a bad stomach, but what you said is reasonable, you alone can't set off any waves, so let me accompany you to play with them, but you don't need to go to the previous competition, we just need to go to the final selection." ”

The Talent Conference is a grand event that is only held once in ten years in the Haotian Empire, and the conference is held in Tianxianglou, the most famous restaurant in the imperial capital, and only students from the Empire's only Zhiyuan Academy can participate, and people recommended by the three great Confucians can also participate in this conference. The conference lasted for a month, and the first 20 days were all concentrated by the students who came to participate, and finally eliminated to 20 to participate in the final selection.

The selection was judged by the top three Confucians of the Haotian Empire, the three Confucians were Lin Feng's master Chen Songru, Chen Songru was the main judge, and the other two were Zuo Chengqian, the dean of KLCII, and Guan Dongsheng, the vice dean, as the deputy judges.

Zuo Chengqian is a famous Confucian family, with a righteous backbone, and Guan Dongsheng is a member of Zuo Chengxiang's family, and his knowledge is well deserved, but because he is a member of the Guan family, the emperor did not let him become the dean.

The Talent Conference mainly focuses on the rhythm of poetry and songs, which is divided into three stages: poetry, pairing, and rhythm. The poems and pairs are all written by three judges, and they need to be answered on the spot, while the rhythm is free to play, but it must be their own original and cannot be plagiarized.

Soon a month passed, and the top twenty of the Talent Conference had been selected, of course, Lin Feng was also included, after saying to Tiange before, Lin Feng found the master and said that he wanted to participate, Chen Lao Er directly arranged a place for him without saying a word, but asked him to win the top spot.

Lin Feng came to Tianxiang Building, all the tables and chairs in the hall of the restaurant have been taken away, downstairs are the people who came to visit the conference and the failed literati, a platform was built in the center of the hall and flush with the second floor, the second floor is the original box of Tianxiang Building, and now this side facing the platform has been fully opened, only the wall between the boxes remains, a large square table is placed in the north, and the three judges of the conference are sitting on the side.

Lin Feng came to the box that was exclusive to him and looked at the other boxes around him, all of whom were selected before. Then Lin Feng looked at the judge's seat and found that the master had also seen him, so Lin Feng bowed to the master, and then sat down.

"The ten-year talent conference is now starting, first of all, the poetry session, and now the chief judge Chen Lao is invited to come up with the question. With the voice of a moderator, the assembly began.

"After the discussion of the three of us, we decided to revise the rules of the competition this year and implement the ring system, who wants to be the first to be the champion?" Chen Songru got up and said.

"Shi Taichong, Shi Taichong" As soon as Chen Songru finished speaking, most of the people in the hall shouted. Shi Taichong is the most famous student of KLCII, and his literary talents are also first-class.

"Thanks to everyone's love, Shi is not good at refusing, so Shi throws bricks and leads jade, let's be the first champion first, please ask Chen Lao to ask the question. A scholar-like man raised his hand and said. Lin Feng looked at this man, he felt very hypocritical at first sight, wearing a white scholar's outfit, holding a folding fan in his hand, and his appearance was very handsome, no wonder most of the people shouting below were women.

"Well, this first question is autumn, you make a poem first, and then if the others can make a better poem than you, they can come to the stage on their own, and then we will judge, and the winner will be the next champion. ”

Shi Taichong paced back and forth, then opened the folding fan in a very coquettish manner, and then said, "Xiao Sheng remembered that when I was playing outside the city a few days ago, I passed a small stream and there were many willows next to it, so I used the scene at that time to write poems."

"The autumn cicadas sound like a kite, listen to the cicadas walking by the willows. The creek is as clear as a mirror, and a leaf flies and waves. ”

"Well, yes, although there is no autumn word in the text, it describes the scenery unique to autumn, which is good. Kanto stroked his beard and nodded in praise.

"I'm ugly, please give me advice. Hearing Guan Dongsheng's praise, Shi Taichong bowed his hand to the people around him, and then looked provocative, feeling that his poems were incomparable.

"Tut-tut, worthy of being a top student of KLCII, his literary style is just unusual. Although the other talents were very unhappy when they saw Shi Taichong's provocative appearance, the poems he wrote were so powerful that they couldn't think of better poems to deal with for a while.

"Feng'er, can you handle it?" Old Chen saw that no one could deal with it, so he said to Lin Feng.

Author's voiceover (this paragraph is not included in the text): I'm scribbling, after all, the author is not from the other world, and I don't know how the other world judges, so don't mind, I mainly want to describe this scene, highlight the protagonist's bull break, if there is a mistake, please don't blame.
