"What did Father tell you just now?"

Coming out of the Qinzheng Palace, seeing Li Yi holding Yongning's hand, humming a brisk nameless tune in his mouth, and being in a obviously good mood, Li Mingzhu stepped forward and asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I'll find out when I go to the Lizheng Hall in a while." Li Yi replied casually, and whispered in Yongning's ear, and the little girl's eyes instantly brightened.

Li Mingzhu's expression moved slightly, and he instantly understood what he was referring to, and his hanging heart finally relaxed.

Li Xuan's expression was also slightly excited, and he immediately became looking forward to the competition in a moment.

"This is a big matter, please think twice about it!"

"Li Xianzi is indeed talented in arithmetic, but today's competition, you must not be so childish!"

"Please also ask Your Majesty to take back your fate, we can't lose again!"

……

……

Hearing the news that Emperor Jing had just announced, the expressions of several senior officials in the court changed, and they stepped forward to admonish.

I have long been accustomed to Li Yi always being able to create surprises for him at critical moments, seeing his expression just now, how could he not know that he was already ten percent sure in his heart, and he didn't bother to explain to the ministers at this moment, he waved his hand and said: "I have made up my mind, the secretaries don't need to say more, the time is coming, follow me to the Lizheng Palace." ”

"Your Majesty......"

What were several officials still trying to say, Emperor Jing had already walked out of the main hall.

"This, Your Majesty, this is too hasty, could it be that Li Xianzi's poetry and literary attainments are higher than Wei Siye, I'm afraid I will lose today......" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said with a worried face.

There was even a hint of despair on the faces of several people behind him, how could a young junior of the age of a weak crown compare to Wei Siye, who had studied this for decades, His Majesty's child's play at this time would make Jing Guo pay an extremely heavy price.

On the other hand, Wei Siye did not show any disappointment or anger on his face, but a feeling of relief.

After all, in the case of losing more and winning less, he also has a very large psychological pressure, of course it is good to win, if he loses, Ma Zhongcheng is his example, and he is scolded by the people of Kyoto and even the entire Jingguo, and it feels terrible to think about it.

That Li Xianzi is still too young, and he is young and vigorous, and he often has to pay a great price.

Qin Xiang rarely did not express any opinion on this matter, among the people present, even Dong Wenyun, in terms of understanding this Li Xianzi, he was far inferior to him.

If even Wei Siye is not sure of victory, His Majesty's move is probably the most correct choice.

……

……

The Lizheng Hall is the place where hundreds of officials go to court, but since yesterday, the early dynasty is no longer the most important activity of the Lizheng Palace, and there is nothing more important than the competition with the Qi State.

More than a dozen officials in the core discussed important matters with Emperor Jing in the Qinzheng Palace, while the others waited outside the Lizheng Palace.

When Li Yi and the others came here, there were already many people outside the hall.

At this time, before the hour came, the door of the palace was not opened, and when the three of them walked to a sparsely populated secluded place in the corner, Li Xuan, who was originally talking to Li Mingzhu in a whisper, was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then walked to the side with a happy face, patted a young man's shoulder, and said unexpectedly: "Brother Tai, we meet again." ”

The young man turned his head, his expression was a little stunned, and when he saw Li Xuan, his face showed a look of doubt, and he quickly became abrupt, and said, "You are, the ...... of the Jade Courtyard."

Li Yi and Li Mingzhu then walked over, he was also a little surprised when he saw the young man, last time in the Jade Courtyard, because there was no place, Li Xuan took the initiative to go up and fight a table with the other party, although there was no conversation, but Li Yi's impression of him was not bad, this time he actually met in the palace, it was indeed quite surprising.

"Why are you here?" It is difficult to meet someone who has the right appetite on weekdays, Li Xuan looked at him and asked curiously: "Could it be that you are also an official of the DPRK and China, why haven't I seen you before?" ”

The young man was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Li Mingzhu looked at Li Xuan in surprise, and the crowd in the distance looked here, which also caused a lot of commotion.

Li Yi looked at the young man and the people behind him, turned his head to look around, and saw the expression on the face of the hundred officials, his heart couldn't be so coincidental, right?

"The Three Princes of Qi Kingdom?" Li Yi looked at him and asked with some disbelief.

At this special moment, being excluded by the hundred officials of Jingguo, these people are obviously headed by him, except for the three princes who are famous in Kyoto, it seems that they will not be others.

"Two Brother Li, we meet again." The young man smiled slightly, arched his hand at them, and said.

Li Xuan's expression was stunned, and he didn't recover from this accident for a while.

Li Yi arched his hand at the young man, pulled Li Xuan's sleeve and pulled him away, this kind of occasion is not suitable for getting close to the other party.

"With them, it seems to be the eldest princess of Jingguo, and the third prince knows those two?" After Li Yi and the three left, an old man stepped forward and asked.

The young man smiled and said, "We have met once, and they are also two interesting people. ”

Without continuing on this topic, he asked, "The second competition is about to start, is Brother Xiuwen ready?" ”

Another young man leaned on the pillar, holding a book in his hand and reading it attentively, and did not answer, the third prince of Qi shook his head, the poet is really a poet......

On the other side, Li Mingzhu looked at Li Yi and Li Xuan suspiciously, and before she could ask the question in her heart, the scene suddenly became commotionous, and not far away, accompanied by Qin Xiang and others, Emperor Jing slowly walked towards this side.

Baiguan's expression was slightly excited, and he followed Emperor Jing into the main hall, and the third prince of Qi glanced at the young man behind him and said, "Let's go." ”

The young man straightened up, closed the book of poems in his hand, and looked in the direction of the main hall, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I hope today's competition will be interesting......"

……

……

There was an eerie silence above the court.

Not because I was worried that the noise would affect the competition, but because of the decision that His Majesty had just announced.

The candidate for this competition is not Wei Siye, but that Li Xianzi!

Your Majesty's move is undoubtedly to kill the glimmer of hope they have before the competition!

If it weren't for the envoys of the Qi State who were in the palace, at this time, on top of the golden palace, I am afraid that the pot would have been boiled a long time ago.

Everyone looked at Li Yi with puzzlement, regret and even resentment, but no matter what kind of emotion it was, they no longer had any hope for today's competition results.

"Li Xianzi?" An imperceptible light flashed in the depths of the eyes of the three princes of Qi Kingdom, and it quickly disappeared again.

As for the young man, there was a slight expression of regret on his face, waiting for the third prince to draw a stick from a bamboo tube, and when he saw the word "dusk" on it, he closed his eyes and pondered.

This poetry competition will naturally not be free to play, dozens of sticks in the bamboo tube, respectively written with different content, Yongwu expressive, write the scene and send affection, which one to draw, the two will take this as the theme, respectively, a poem, similar poems compared, it is naturally easier to distinguish the superior.

Of course, everyone has their own type of expertise, and in order to eliminate accidents and ensure fairness, this competition will be drawn three times.

At the moment when the young man closed his eyes, Li Yi had already walked to the table, dipped his pen in ink, and decisively put down his pen in the stunned expressions of the hundred officials and the envoys of the Qi State.

"So fast?"

"Was he prepared?"

"Unlikely, that lot was drawn by the three princes of Qi State, before that, no one knew the title, unless ......"

"Cough, cough, Lord Zhu is cautious, cautious ......"

……

……

In shock, the hundred officials seemed to think of something, their faces became strange, and after glancing at each other, they instantly returned to normal.

When the envoys of the Qi State saw this, they could naturally think of something, and the expressions on their faces were a little uncertain.

Only the third prince had an indifferent face, when he drew it just now, he had already carefully checked it, and each sign did have different contents, unless he prepared dozens of excellent poems that could overpower Zhao Xiuwen in one day------ and this was simply impossible.

At this time, he didn't care about the matter of poetry, he thought about another thing in his heart, and looked at Li Yi's gaze became deeper.

After a while, Li Yi put down his pen, and immediately a eunuch stepped forward and posted the poems he had written on the paper.

At this time, Zhao Xiuwen of Qi had not yet opened his eyes.

Baiguan naturally looked over for the first time, and was first shocked by the elegant calligraphy, saying that Chang'an County was young and had a lot of calligraphy attainments, and only then did he realize that the rumors were true.

I have to say that at this moment, a glimmer of hope was ignited in the hearts of the hundred officials.

Then, after reading the poem, the flame of their hope was ruthlessly extinguished again.

"It's not easy to do this in such a short period of time."

"It's a good piece."

"It's just a pity......"

……

……

Among the hundreds of officials in the court, in addition to the military generals, who can be called "Wenchen", which one does not stand out from the millions of people, even if he is not like Wei Siye who has studied poetry all his life, but how can he not have profound poetic attainments.

If you are prepared in advance, it is not to mention, if you really play on the spot, it is rare to be able to write such poems in such a short time, at least most of them can't do it, but the person opposite him has the title of "the highest poet in the millennium", if it is only to this extent, there is no possibility of beating him at all.

Looking at the courtier's sigh, the expression on Emperor Jing's face remained unchanged, and after glancing at Li Yi, he found that he was talking to Yongning in a whisper, and his heart was more stable.

At this moment, that Zhao Xiuwen finally opened his eyes.

He walked to his desk, lifted his pen, dipped it in ink, and the courtier's heart became entangled.

He glanced up at the poem that had been posted, and his eyes lit up at the handwriting, then he shook his head and bowed his head to write.

A moment later, Zhao Xiuwen glanced up again.

This time, the pen in his hand could not fall any longer.
