I was kicked out of the house, and I was reborn and became the emperor

Seeing this, Fang Yi sneered: "After all, it turns out that the military minister has a good upbringing. Even his son has inherited his father's 'modest and cautious' character."

Then he added, as if hinting at something: "If I had known this earlier, I should have brought you two along to participate in the duel. Maybe it would have added a few unexpected surprises."

This obviously provocative remark made Chen Jun's face turn pale and blue, and he was speechless for a moment.

Yang Jingxuan, who had been silently observing all this development, couldn't help but frown at this moment: It seems that I have indeed underestimated the hidden edge behind this young man...

Chen Jun's heart was pounding and his eyebrows were twitching involuntarily!

Another gamble?

How dare Fang Yi speak so shamelessly!

He clenched his teeth in anger, and the expression on his face was disturbingly distorted.

Not to mention competing with Japan again, even if you only mention this matter in front of His Majesty, I am afraid that all the civil and military officials in the court will denounce the Fourth Prince as ridiculous!

If he is defeated, not only will his own family be destroyed, but also the nine generations of glory of the Chen family will be destroyed!

"My Lord, your joke is too serious. How can I covet your great achievements?"

Yang Jingxuan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Then let Chen Jun go and tell the story. Maybe he'll be lucky enough to win."

Fang Yi didn't give Yang Jingxuan a chance to react. He casually turned his gaze towards the other party who was already furious.

Hearing his name being criticized, Chen Jun suddenly felt like a thorn in his back - asking him to take the initiative to talk to the emperor about this matter was simply courting death!

"champion……"

He was anxious to make excuses.

"What, are you scared?"

Before he could finish his words, a heart-shaking rebuke came to his ears.

In panic, he saw the young man in front of him with narrowed eyes and imposing aura staring at him with sharp eyes.

"If you are willing to bear it, that's fine."

"If you don't have this courage, don't even think about trying to be cunning with me."

"Otherwise, the rude words you just said are enough for me to punish you!"

Chen Jun's face became increasingly ugly, with anger mixed with helplessness: I didn't expect that Fang Yi, who is always gentle and polite, would be so aggressive!

Are you ready to take harsh measures against yourself just because of a few sarcastic remarks?

At this moment, Fang Yi's face was solemn: "Our country is powerful and famous all over the world. No one in the world disobeys us. The previous war game simulation was nominally a gamble between individuals, but in fact it was about the face and honor of the country."

"From now on, China has one more friendly country that pledges allegiance to us, and the whole of Japan admires our dynasty. As a descendant of the Grand Councilor, how can you say such unrealistic words as 'winning by luck'?"

"Are you trying to use this opportunity to shake the morale of the army and weaken our country's authority?"

As soon as these words fell, all the guests looked at him sideways; the gazes that contained incomparable solemnity and deterrence passed across Chen Jun's cheek like a knife, making him tremble all over.

Sweat dripped down his temples and his face turned pale.

Chen Jun suddenly realized that such a sinister trap was hidden in the seemingly ordinary conversation just now.

If these accusations are true, even his own father may not be able to save him!

Just when he was in a dilemma, "Chen Jun," a melodious and slightly reproachful voice floated into his ears.

Yang Jingxuan slowly spoke to explain: "General Fang reminded me out of good intentions. Why don't you quickly pay your respects and express your gratitude?"

Realizing that he had no choice, he could only stand up and bow to the young man who was still concentrating on tasting the food: "Thank you, Champion Hou, for your advice!"

Although I said this, I was secretly gritting my teeth in my heart...

Indeed, within just a few rounds, he was charged with multiple felonies; although he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, he dared not show it - this was an indescribable humiliation!

However, faced with such a situation, Fang Yi remained calm and continued to eat without paying any attention.

One has to admit that when it comes to playing political games, the fourth brother is very good at it: he can turn hostility into friendship with just a few words.

"Okay, sit down," Yang Jingxuan waved his hand, his eyes revealing a hint of majesty, "In the future, you must be careful in what you say and do in front of the Champion Marquis."

Chen Jun nodded and sat back in his seat silently. He held the wine glass in his hand, but felt that the wine in the glass was as bitter as Coptis chinensis.

"My Lord, let's not talk about those unpleasant things." Yang Jingxuan smiled, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

Fang Yi raised his eyes to look at his fourth brother, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he thought: What tricks is the fourth brother going to play next?

"I wonder if the Marquis knows the true identity of the poet who amazed everyone earlier?"

Yang Jingxuan spoke in a relaxed tone, but in fact there was a deeper meaning behind his words.

Hearing this, Fang Yi's heart suddenly surged. The fourth brother seemed to have grasped some important information.

"Isn't everyone in the imperial court looking for that mysterious person? Could it be that His Highness the Fourth Prince has discovered something?"

Fang Yi asked tentatively.

"It's just a clue."

Yang Jingxuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This immortal poet is extremely secretive. After his stunning appearance at Ziwei Lake, he has disappeared."

He added: "Even the imperial edict personally written by His Majesty inviting him to serve as an official in the court failed to impress him."

As Yang Jingxuan was talking and filling his brother's glass, a respectful and firm voice suddenly came from the corner: "Allow me to express my opinion."

Su Zhenlong seemed extremely confident after he stood up.

"In my humble opinion, this may be a fraud."

Everyone's eyes turned to the new face, especially Fang Yi, who looked at him with a bit of curiosity.

After Yang Jingxuan's brief introduction, Su Zhenlong continued his analysis: "I think the works of the so-called 'poet immortal' are probably not original, but are plagiarized from other people's good sentences! It is precisely because he knows that he is a fake and is afraid of being exposed that he has never dared to show up."

Faced with such a bold accusation, Fang Yi did not get angry but instead observed the other party with great interest.

"You said he plagiarized?"

After getting a positive answer, he looked at the person who was sitting opposite him with a smile on his face, waiting for the result to be revealed - Yang Jingxuan.

It was obvious that all of this was just a trap set for himself!

"Hmm...this is really interesting."

Fang Yi gently put down the cup, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Su Zhenlong, right? You got the title of Juren through hard work?" Fang

Yi gently shook the wine glass in his hand and asked Su Zhenlong in a somewhat nonchalant tone.

Hearing this, Su Zhenlong's face froze, and he quickly stood up and replied, "Marquis Guanjun is right. I have studied hard for many years and would never cheat!"

"That's good. Being able to pass the imperial examination shows that you are very talented."

Fang Yi nodded slowly, his voice calm and composed.

Then he paused for a moment and continued, “But if you dare to say that the man known as the Immortal Poet plagiarized other people’s works… well, I have decided to give you a chance.

In the next few days, you will imitate and write 20 to 30 poems, and have His Majesty the Fourth Prince hand them over to the Grand Secretaries for evaluation. If you can reach the height of the so-called "Poet Immortal"—"
