Report to your majesty, the prince is courting death again

After saying that, Qin Wenjian looked at Emperor Yuankang.

"Your Majesty, each side will send ten people to compete this time. Write a poem and a lyric according to the topic."

"Then my teacher and the great scholars of Daqian will review and evaluate, and select the best one as the winner."

"Of course, for the sake of fairness, this competition will be conducted in a nameless manner, so that no one knows who the author is before the name is torn off."

Emperor Yuankang narrowed his eyes slightly. It sounds fair, but the topic was set by you, Dongyu. Who knows if you have prepared the poems in advance?

If so, how can it be fair?

He is the emperor. It is impossible for him to argue with a junior just because of doubt. He can only look at Xu An and say, "Xu An, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I have no problem."

Xu An cupped his hands and said, "Ten, twenty, or a hundred people are not much different to me."

"I am not targeting anyone. All of you who participated in the competition... are garbage!"

The air suddenly became quiet.

Everyone stared at Xu An in amazement.

What he said... is simply too arrogant!

Xiao Yuanlang wanted to rush up and cover Xu An's mouth. You really dare to say anything. Cheng Hu and other military sons had bright eyes.

As expected of our military sons, what he said... is inspiring!

The emperor's face froze, and his fingertips trembled subconsciously.

Little bastard, you are courting death again!

I asked you to raise questions, but you let yourself go, right?

If you lose later, how do you want me to end it? Will I destroy your entire clan?

Emperor Yuankang looked at Xu Xiao, but saw that Xu Xiao was full of relief at this time, as if he was content with having a son, and he was so angry that he almost overturned the table.

Sure enough, like father, like son.

"Young man, you are a little ignorant of the world."

Fan Mao took a sip of tea and laughed.

"Arrogant!"

"So arrogant, Senior Brother Qin, teach him a lesson."

"Stupid guy, you will soon pay the price for your arrogance!"

"..."

All the people in the Dongyu delegation were furious, and they were all furious.

Who is Qin Wenjian? He is the person in Dongyu who has the greatest hope of becoming a scholarly saint, and you actually said that he is also garbage?

Can this be tolerated?

This is unbearable!

Zhao Gao, Wei Zizheng and others also had livid faces, and they felt uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly.

Dongyu people can scold, but they can't, and they almost suffocated them to death.

Qin Wenjian's face also turned cold. She didn't expect that the lecher in front of her was not only shameless, but also so arrogant and rude.

If he is not taught a lesson, he will not know what it means that there are always people outside the world.

"Really? Then I want to see if Master Xu's ability is as powerful as your mouth."

Qin Wenjian made a gesture of invitation and said, "Master Xu, please come in!"

After she finished speaking, she did not wait for Xu An to speak, and sat down in the competition area.

"Please enter the competition venue for both parties."

Sun Diao Si, who was beside Emperor Yuan Kang, came out, and his voice like a drake spread throughout the venue.

The Dongyu envoys and the Daqian literary world heard the order and began to enter one after another.

When passing by Xu An, both sides glared at him, as if they wanted to eat him.

"Wait, you'll see!"

"You shameful thing, you have lost the face of the Daqian literary world."

"Scum, are you worthy of standing here?"

"..."

Whether it was the Dongyu people or the Daqian scholars who passed by him, they all gave him a deep greeting.

"Damn, who are you scolding? Believe it or not, I will beat your faces and break your legs. You all have become powerful, right?"

Xu An was immediately upset. What? You can humiliate me, but if I fight back, it will be treason?

What kind of logic is this? I gave you face, right?

"Young Master Xu, please take your seat."

Sun Diaosi looked at Xu An who was still standing in the center, and said respectfully: "Young Master Xu, the competition is about to begin..."

"Let's start. Young Master, I will give them an incense stick of time first, so that they won't say that I bullied them and they won't accept the loss."

Xu An unfolded his folding fan and said domineeringly.

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the scene. Everyone looked at Xu An as if they were looking at an idiot!

Who is not afraid of not having enough time for the exam? You actually think there is too much time? Are you crazy?

"This little evildoer, I'm going to beat him to death!" Emperor Yuan Kang couldn't help it, trying to keep calm on his face, and his voice came out from between his teeth like a leak.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to do it. After the competition, I will have a good chat with him." The Queen's smile was still dignified, but her voice was full ofFull of coldness.

Even though she had a good attitude, Xu An made her a little upset at this time.

"Damn, stupid, idiot..."

On the city wall, Xiao Lan'er was so angry that she stamped her feet and stared at Xu An, wishing to torture him alive.

"Haha, at this time, this little playboy is still pretending like this, he is really asking for death!" Zhang Anshi held the wine glass in his hand with a smile on his face.

"What's wrong with letting a dying man pretend more?" Qin Dehai chuckled with disdain.

Qin Wenjian shook his head contemptuously, and suddenly felt that he was making a fuss.

In order to deal with a prodigal son, he set up such a big battle, is he worthy?

Only Xu Xiao, with his feet crossed and his hands in his sleeves, still looked down on the world.

Even the old eunuch Sun Diaosi was so anxious at this time. Seeing that an incense stick of time had passed, he hurriedly reminded: "Young Master, the time for you to give way has come. Please take your seat quickly?"

"Xu An, if you dare to say a word of nonsense again, I will kill you first, and then commit suicide to thank the world!"

Behind him, Xiao Yuanlang also gritted his teeth and said that he really couldn't stand this guy.

I know you are good at arithmetic. You can easily solve the nine-square grid and the pheasant and rabbit in the same cage, but this is not arithmetic problem solving, this is poetry and lyrics, the artistic conception and emotion are in place.

But do you have artistic conception and emotion?

"Don't, don't be so excited, can't I go on stage?"

Xu An quickly jumped far away, because Xiao Yuanlang's hand had already landed on the sword.

Under the gaze of everyone, Xu An walked to his position with an arrogant step.

He opened the test paper and took a look. The poetry test paper was separated. Poetry expressed ideals, while lyrics expressed melancholy. It was indeed in line with the artistic conception of a scholar. But you wanted to embarrass him with just two questions? What a foolish dream!

Poems about ideals? There are many in history, and the best one is the poet Li Bai.

There are also a lot of lyrics about melancholy, but Xu An's favorite is still Li Qingzhao.

Every word is written in a sad and graceful way, breaking people's hearts!

In the end, Xu An chose Li Bai's "To Li Yong" and Li Qingzhao's "Sheng Sheng Man", and immediately wrote furiously.

A moment.

Throw down the pen and leave the table.

Seeing this, the whole audience was instantly silent!

Then, it exploded like thunder.

"This... is it over?"

"What are you kidding? Who doesn't write a good poem after thousands of careful carvings? He just picked up the pen and wrote it?"

"Is he just scribbling on the paper? I knew this prodigal son can't be trusted!"

"..."

Listening to these discussions, Fan Mao stroked his long beard and looked at Emperor Yuan Kang, smiling: "It seems that Master Xu is really talented. He can write quickly after just looking at the topic. The literary world of Daqian is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. I admire him."

Emperor Yuan Kang was furious when he heard the old man's irony.

At this time, he almost didn't hold any hope. He could only keep smiling and said: "This evil creature is so stubborn. I'm sorry to make Mr. Fan laugh."

"It doesn't matter. Young people should naturally have the arrogance of youth."

Fan Mao was still smiling, but the teasing in his eyes could not be concealed.

The queen was also very angry. Her expectations for Xu An were even higher than those of the emperor.

Now, Xu An's performance disappointed her greatly.

But after hearing what Fan Mao said, she still smiled and said, "Mr. Fan, there is no need to say the opposite. The game is not over yet. Who knows what the outcome will be?"

Fan Mao flicked his sleeves and laughed, "Your Majesty is right. Let's wait and see!"

"Haha, this idiot... is really embarrassing!"

Zhang Anshi looked at Xu An who was leaving and laughed sarcastically, "I really don't know how he had the courage to speak so confidently in the court that day."

Qin Dehai narrowed his eyes slightly and said playfully, "Isn't this expected? In this way, it will be much easier to get rid of them father and son."

"Now, it's not us who want to kill him, but the public opinion that wants to kill him!"

On the city wall, Xiao Lan'er had closed her eyes in despair.

Although she looked down on Xu An, the competition was related to the national system of Daqian, and she still held a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that Xu An could create a miracle and defeat the Dongyu delegation.

Now it seems that I thought too much and shouldn't have any expectations for this rogue scum.

Zhao Gao, Wei Zizheng and the students of the Dongyu delegation were also full of disdain.

"Xu An? What are you doing? Why did you hand in the paper so quickly?"

Xiao Yuanlang couldn't help it. What do you mean by accumulating reputation for me? Are you trying to harm me?

"Brother, you are doing this... We can't understand it either!"

Even Cheng Hu, a rough guy, was speechless at this time. We will escort you personally, youAt least show some spirit!

"What do you mean by fast? That question is too simple, not challenging."

Xu An unfolded his folding fan and said lightly.

"Tsk!"

A burst of boos suddenly sounded at the scene.

Xu An was speechless. I was telling the truth, why didn't anyone believe it?

You don't believe it, right? Wait until this young master doesn't drop your jaw.

"Time is up!"

After another stick of incense, Sun Diaosi's voice spread throughout the venue again: "All participants in the competition stand up and leave, and start marking the papers with their names covered."

The participants of both sides of the competition left their seats immediately, and then both sides immediately sent people down to start collecting the papers with their names covered, and then shuffled the papers and sent them to Emperor Yuan Kang's desk.

Now Emperor Yuan Kang couldn't even peek at Xu An's papers.

"Distribute them!"

He could only wave his hand and let Sun Diaosi distribute the test papers to great scholars such as Fan Mao and Kong Mingzhen, so that they could select the best works.
