Facing the puzzled crowd in the audience, Shangguan Yunde had a smile on his face.

"For this contest, we have decided to take a new, literary game approach, where everyone present will be given a bronze blade, and in the middle courtyard of our Anglican College, the venue has been set up and four areas have been set up. ”

"They are the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting areas, and each area is responsible for the staff of the National Education College. ”

"You only need to choose the opponent in advance, as well as the area, and then take out one, or the same amount of multiple copper leaves to the notary, you can carry out the game of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the level of the player, will be judged by the notary of the National Education College, and finally by the winner, get all the copper leaves. ”

"We will give you an hour, and after an hour, when the golden gong rings again, it means that the game is over, and then we will select the top 100 players with the most copper leaves according to the number of copper leaves, and participate in the platinum gold discussion. ”

After listening to Shangguan Yunde's narration, everyone in the audience showed a look of novelty, and even Xiang Yun looked very interested, never imagined that this National Education Academy, which talks about scriptures and Taoism, would be able to innovate and come up with such a novel literary competition game.

The so-called copper leaf is a bit like the chips in the gambling house, as long as you win more copper leaves, the more chips you have, you can place big bets, and you can bet more chips.

Subsequently, under the command of Meng Wencheng, the staff of the National Education Academy distributed a copper leaf to everyone present, including everyone on the high platform.

The copper leaf is exquisitely made, the texture is clear, and it is also engraved with the national name of Fengyun Country, as well as the year, month and day of the grand event of Chinese culture, after all, this is also a kind of commemorative item of the National Education College.

After ensuring that everyone had a copper leaf, Shangguan Yunde ordered the people to open the middle door, and personally stepped forward and inserted the first pillar of incense on the copper tripod.

The ancients had a stick of incense, once extinguished, and then inserted into the second stick, and after the third pillar of incense burned out, the game time was over.

The middle gate was removed, and thousands of people in the square flocked to the middle gate, like carp crossing the river, rushing into the middle courtyard, all wanting to seize every minute and every second, and all wanting to win more copper leaves, so that they could enter the top 100 and participate in the platinum gold debate.

After all, all the people present here are officials who have a certain strength and status in the court, and some of them are even academic, with a lot of attainments, so they naturally will not compete for opportunities with their juniors.

First, I don't want to surrender my identity, and secondly, I am probably afraid that I will capsize in the gutter and be pressed by the younger generations, which will damage my face.

Seeing the fiery scene of the opening of the grand event of the National Education Academy, Shangguan Yunde, who was originally depressed in his heart, finally felt a lot happier in his heart, turned around, and looked at Xiang Kundao, the third prince with a copper leaf in his hand and an interested face.

"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, this is the first time you have come to the National Education Academy to participate in the grand event of Chinese culture this year, and it is rare to have this opportunity, why not go and participate in it in person. ”

"The Third Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are all high-ranking disciples of Wang Xiangguo, knowledgeable, and a leading figure among the younger generation of literati. ”

Hearing this, Xiang Kun smiled: "Haha...... Lord Xiangguo has won the award, and the family teacher has told me and the imperial brother many times, Lord Xiangguo, your knowledge is high, and it is still above his old man, presumably the protégé disciples of Lord Xiangguo must be all talented and high, how dare this prince be ugly here?"

"Haha...... The third prince is too modest, if His Royal Highness is willing to participate, he will definitely be selected as one of the top 100 people in this platinum and gold theory!"

Shangguan Yunde heard Xiang Kun's compliment, and he was also modest on the surface, but he was inevitably a little proud in his heart, but he did not forget to continue to invite Xiang Kun to participate.

After all, Xiang Kun's status as a prince and a knowledgeable young man, if he can be involved, join the Bai Yujin Theory, and not mention the positive impact on the grand event of Chinese culture.

What's more important is that his granddaughter can talk to the prince on Bai Yujin, which will inevitably be passed on as a good story, making Shangguan Lingyu famous in Fengyun Country, which is some careful thinking in Shangguan Yunde's heart.

And Xiang Kun was actually a little eager to try in his heart, he was also eager to talk to Shangguan Lingyu about learning and Taoism, but now he was just pretending to be modest and shirking, hearing Shangguan Yunde's repeated persuasion, he also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and said reluctantly.

"Since Lord Xiangguo has been invited repeatedly, if the younger generation makes another excuse, it will inevitably live up to the hospitality of Lord Xiangguo, so it is okay, this prince will discuss with the literati and writers of my Fengyun country. ”

After that, Xiang Kun got up and was about to go to the middle courtyard.

As soon as Xiang Kun got up, his eyes fell to the side, lying on his back on the chair, squinting his eyes, smashing his mouth, and lazily dozing off Xiang Yun.

Xiang Kun frowned, and a sense of anger rose in his heart again.

For Xiang Yun who swept his face before, Xiang Kun still held a grudge in his heart, looking at the copper leaf in his hand, and then looking at Xiang Yun, Xiang Kun's heart moved, and he said secretly.

It's better to let this kid go with him to participate in the grand event of Chinese culture, and when the time comes, he will be among the top 100, but he doesn't have a copper leaf, so he can only sit on the cold bench stupidly, wouldn't it be embarrassing for this kid in public.

With such a thought in his heart, Xiang Kun suddenly smiled coldly, reached out and patted Xiang Yun's shoulder, and woke up Xiang Yun, who was about to fall asleep.

"Cousin Xiang Yun, today is a grand event, wouldn't it be a pity to spend it in vain, why don't we let the two brothers go together and see the demeanor of this heavenly person!"

Xiang Yun opened his hazy sleepy eyes, glanced at Xiang Kun's hypocritical expression, and knew that this grandson was uneasy about what kind intentions, eighty percent wanted to make himself ugly, Xiang Yun immediately smiled and said.

"Hey...... Thank you cousin for your kindness, I don't think it's necessary, with this bit of ink in my cousin's stomach, it's also ridiculous and generous to go, or don't go to offer ugliness. ”

Seeing that Xiang Yun was not hit, Xiang Kun frowned secretly, and was about to continue persuasion, but at this moment, someone came to the high platform and greeted Xiang Yun warmly, this person was none other than Mu Qixing, who warmly invited Xiang Yun to come.

Mu Qixing looked at Xiang Kun on the high platform and everyone after saluting, and immediately looked at Xiang Yun with excitement.

"Oops...... His Royal Highness, you are finally here, since the last time I said goodbye to the North City Gate, my little brother I couldn't sleep day and night, and I was worried in my heart, and now His Royal Highness is willing to come at the appointment, I must have forgiven my little brother. ”

Xiang Yun saw Mu Qixing coming, but he showed a hint of surprise, he thought that this kid would not appear, but he didn't expect to come out at this time.

And Xiang Kun was slightly stunned when he saw Mu Qixing suddenly appear, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he said that there was one more person who stirred up the situation, but he never thought that the next moment, he heard Mu Qixing say loudly.

"His Royal Highness, today is a world-famous event of Chinese culture, the younger brother has heard in Longcheng, His Royal Highness has learned through the past and the present, and his writing is brilliant, and he was once a high-level talent in Class A of the National Education College. ”

"Such a grand event, how can it not be attended by a talent like you, why don't you go and participate in it with His Royal Highness the prince and the younger brother?"

Mu Qixing's 'heartfelt' sycophant came out, and the officials of the surrounding Fengyun Country were all dumbfounded for a while, or they were smiling in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it.

I had to tense my face one by one, and I made a posture of sitting upright, as if I hadn't heard anything.

When Xiang Kun, who was originally frowning, heard this, he glanced at Mu Qixing in surprise, and Mu Qixing also looked up and looked at each other.

As soon as the eyes of the two met, Xiang Yun couldn't help but think of the lyrics of a popular Internet song in his previous life.

"I've made sure I've met the right person."

The two immediately saw a common goal in each other's eyes, and immediately the two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

However, all of this was seen by Xiang Yun.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sure enough, it was two guys with the same smell --- flies looking for dog shit, and they reached a consensus so quickly.

Immediately, Xiang Kun looked at Xiang Yun with a smile.

"Cousin, since Mu Gongzi is so sincerely invited, it can be regarded as an apology to you, as a royal child, you should be broad-minded, you won't be so unappreciative. ”

Seeing the two of them who were 'warmly invited', Xiang Yun secretly said in his heart, since you want to fight with me so much, let's just see what clever means you have.

Anyway, he is also bored at this time, so it is better to play with the two boys, and take a look at this so-called national culture event by the way

Immediately, Mu Qixing led the way, and Xiang Yun and Xiang Kun walked side by side, crossing the middle gate of the National Education College together and stepping into the middle courtyard!

The topography of the Anglican College is peculiar, resembling the shape of a carp, with slightly narrower ends and bulging in the middle, so this so-called middle courtyard is actually wider than the square in the front yard.

The Intermediate Court is mostly used for various sacrificial ceremonies held by the National Education College, or for a certain Confucian to give lectures to the students of the whole college.

Now as soon as the three of them stepped into the middle courtyard, Xiang Yun subconsciously looked up, and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of shock in his heart!

I saw that in the wide courtyard, thousands of people surged in it, like a school of fish scattered in a pond, and the ground was also divided by red, yellow, blue and green color bands, and marked with four patterns of flags, representing the four large areas of 'qin, chess, calligraphy and painting'.

Each area is lined up, from the entrance of the middle courtyard to the gate connecting to the backyard of the college, all of which are full of contestants.

In the 'qin' area, many contestants are lined up on both sides, placed in front of them, guqin, erhu, chime, flute, flute...... and many other musical instruments.

In this area, the competition is the mastery of the rhythm, and the contestants can choose their own instruments and choose their own opponents to compete.

On each playing field, a staff member of the Anglican Academy acts as a referee.

And in each small area, there is a simple silence prohibition, which can isolate the sound interference from the outside world and ensure that the people in the prohibition can enjoy the sound of the rhythm played by the contestants without interference.

On hundreds of chessboards, chess masters and rookies play games with each other, falling and closing one after another, and the layout and change of the game are all wonderful.

As for the two major areas of calligraphy and painting, as the two main streams of the literary world, they are even more overcrowded, and there are famous artists in the painting world who paint all over the mountains and rivers, insects, fish, birds and beasts with a Danqing wonderful pen in their hands;

From time to time, there were bursts of cheers, as well as thunderous applause, whether it was the contestants or the audience, they were all enjoying it, although the country of Fengyun was only a few hundred years of national history, but the prosperity of the domestic literary style can be seen!

Looking at this magnificent scene in front of him, Xiang Yun's heart couldn't help but shake, the grand event of Chinese culture is really worthy of the word 'grand event', it is indeed inclusive of all rivers, and tolerance is great.

At the same time, the three princes Xiang Kun and Mu Qixing are also hot in their eyes and quite excited, both of them are highly educated children of nobles, and they are naturally quite accomplished in literature.
