Chapter 34 Make a Request

The so-called layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Seeing that the winner has been divided, and the result is as expected, being won by Die Wu girl, many people once again showed their contempt for Ye Chu.These people can't understand the hidden ambush on the chessboard, and they only talk about success or failure.

But during this time, Xiao Yu's expression changed a lot more complicated.

Since the chessboard is not big, most of the surrounding people rely on their identities, except for a few children from aristocratic families who especially love Go to watch the whole process, the rest are sitting in their seats, looking like they are watching the fun.

And Xiao Yu was one of the people watching.At the beginning, although he also understood the brilliance of this kind of gameplay very early, he didn't take it seriously in his heart.

In the final analysis, it is essential to have superb chess skills.But after watching it for a while, he was stunned by Ye Chu's actions.His behavior is simply despised by a gentleman.Just blindly avoiding and dodging, and never confronting the opponent head-on.

At this time, he hadn't seen Ye Chu's depth clearly, so he couldn't say anything, maybe this was his chess style.

Until Su Yuxuan and Shen Ziyan were defeated one by one, Xiao Yu finally realized that Ye Chu was defeated by Miss Diewu as those two said, and Ye Chu was not as powerful as he imagined.

But because of this, Xiao Yu suddenly realized that Die Wu, the girl who usually played chess with him countless times, had already surpassed him in real strength.People simply let themselves out.

Because, even if he was arrogant, he didn't have the confidence to defeat Su and Shen at the same time, even Die Wu had already defeated herself!You know, when Die Wu was helping Ye Chu resolve the murderous intent, she was standing on the opposite side of herself.

Thinking about all this clearly, Xiao Yu's face became even paler, not as gentle as jade before.

Sitting on the first high platform, Shen Ze had a panoramic view of everyone's faces.In fact, he didn't care about the outcome.And the reason why I paid attention to it for a while was just my curiosity about this novel gameplay.After seeing through all this, he lost his mind to pay attention, and started chatting with Mr. Su instead.

As for Ye Chu, he was not very attractive to an old man like him who had seen all kinds of amazing talents.

Now that the outcome has been decided, Shen Ze also announced the result in due course, which is considered to be the end of this session.

After that, Liu Yiyi depicted the scene of the grand meeting just now in the form of ink painting, and presented it to Shen Ze.Then, Miss Xun'er also showed up, and recorded the poems and songs of everyone present with a wonderful pen. Even the story Ye Yu told was completely sorted out and polished into a book, ready to follow the meaning of Master Shen, Binding into "Shen Yuan Poetry Collection" for publicity purposes.

At this time, the poetry meeting was coming to an end.

"Hehe, everyone must have been impatient. In the past, the rewards over there were always taken down by the old man and given to the gifted scholar who won the first prize in the poetry club. But today, the old man has made some changes." Shen Ze smiled Hehe said.

Hearing this, everyone immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.What does this mean, are there rewards for the top few?Or did Master Shen choose certain people to win the lottery alone?

But they didn't dare to look at Shen Ze with questioning eyes, so they all looked at Shen Ziyan, thinking that since he is Shen Ze's nephew, maybe he knows something about it, and see if he has any hints or something.

But when she saw Shen Ziyan's dazed expression, she knew that the other party didn't know about it either.We can only wait for Shen Ze to reveal it himself.

"Hehe, you don't need to think about it too much. This idea was also thought up by the old man on the spur of the moment. Before the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the real scholars were always both civil and military. Later, martial arts gradually became the work of reckless people, and it was completely abandoned by scholars."

After a pause, Shen Ze's voice this time was a little heavy: "I think everyone knows that in recent years, the various ministries in Beidi have begun to move around again. Even Xirong, who has always been weak, as far as I know, last year's tribute was actually less than before. Half of it. It can be seen that he has a different heart, and his heart can be punished."

"Therefore, the old man wants to take advantage of this Shen Yuan Poetry Contest to select some juniors with literary and military skills, and personally recommend them to Mr. Chen, the Duke of Wei of the Privy Council."

What?Directly recommend to Mr. Chen?Wouldn't that be a leap to the dragon's gate?

When the people below heard the words, they were instantly shocked by the great news of the day.All of them blushed with excitement, and if they were not stopped by Master Shen's sharp eyes, they would have laughed wildly.

Especially those noble sons and daughters of middle-level officials who had practiced martial arts were trembling with fear.Most of these people are not the eldest sons in the family and have no inheritance rights. If they are average in literary talent, they can only get some way out through martial arts and the help of their families.

Now, suddenly such an opportunity appeared in front of them, and they directly entered the military cabinet of the Great Zhou Dynasty like the Privy Council. Even if they worked in it, it was also a status symbol.

Shen Ziyan and many famous talents in Jinling looked at the many excited people around them, with a vague look of contempt on their faces.

Humph, don’t even think about it, today’s court is not headed by civil servants.Even for important positions such as the Ministry of War, it is not the civilian officials who have the final say.At most, you can only serve as a knife for the literati.What a bunch of short-sighted people.I really thought that if I knew some martial arts, I would be able to become a general or a prime minister. It was a joke.

For them, martial arts is only for those who are brave, foolish and vulgar.What they admire is the ancient strategist who sits firmly in the military tent and plans major events in the world.

"Hehe, I guess many people have already guessed it." Shen Ze said kindly, "That's right, today's reward is up to you to get it on your own."

Then he took another look at the young man Ye Yu, and said calmly: "As for the reward for winning the poetry competition... well, Nephew Ye Xian, you can make a request in person now. The old man will satisfy you."

Any requests?Many people were startled.

This guy must be very lucky.These two poems can actually catch the eye of Mr. Shen. It is obviously much better than the reward on the flagpole!
Just for a moment, almost everyone's eyes were on Ye Chu again.

Only Shen Ziyan seemed to realize something, glanced at Ye Chu with a half-smile, and sneered endlessly.

Um, can I make a request?Mr. Shen, you are really good at playing.If you don't want to give something, just say it directly, and you are so pretentious and generous that you can make demands.If I say that Shen Yuan will be rewarded to me, would you be willing to...

Ye Chu smiled wryly.

Although Shen Ze seemed to allow himself to make requests at will, he knew very well that if he really opened his mouth like a lion and made a request, he might die without a place to die in the future.

But what troubled Ye Chu was that he couldn't just make a small request to deal with it, which would embarrass Shen Ze even more.

In other words, Ye Chu's request was to satisfy Master Shen without losing face.It is best to ask for something that Shen Ze is good at.

"Nephew Ye Xian, don't worry, just say it straight." Seeing the tangle between Ye Chu's brows, Shen Ze smiled lightly.

At this moment, Ye Xiu suddenly caught a glimpse of a person picking up a piece of paper, and his eyes lit up.He thought about what to ask for.
