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

At this point, Fang Yi leaned forward slightly, with a meaningful smile on his face: "Then I will personally recommend you to serve as an official in the court."

Faced with the sudden challenge, Su Zhenlong was stunned for a moment.

Ask him to create works that can rival the level of top poets in a short period of time?

It even had to be tested by many literary giants!

At this moment, Yang Jingxuan's eyes were as sharp as a knife, which made the upright scholar unwilling to be outdone: "Marquis Guanjun, I admit that my knowledge is shallow and it is difficult for me to complete this task."

“Since you know your own shortcomings, why do you question others?”

Before he could say anything more, Fang Yi's face turned serious. "As the saying goes, learning is endless and one can learn as long as one lives. Even if you are a juren, you should study harder instead of wasting time on suspicion of others."

As this series of merciless accusations rang out, the atmosphere on the scene became increasingly awkward and tense.

When Su Zhenlong heard these words suddenly, he felt his face burning.

Thinking back on the past decade or so of hard work and study that resulted in today’s results being looked down upon, I couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of indignation.

While the two sides were arguing, Yang Jingxuan, as a bystander, chuckled and said: "Brother, why bother with him, maybe they are just some insignificant words."

There was a different meaning in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was quite satisfied with the result of today's show.

"It turns out that I almost missed the kindness of His Highness the Fourth Prince!"

After hearing this, Fang Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at Yang Jingxuan with a smile, with a hint of mockery in his words, "Since this is a gathering between brothers, we should open our hearts and talk."

"It is true that we were not thoughtful enough. I hope you will not worry about it."

After sensing his brother's dissatisfaction, Yang Jingxuan immediately apologized and drank the wine in his hand. Then he frankly expressed his innermost thoughts: "In fact, I invited my brother to come here tonight in the hope that we can enhance our mutual feelings and fight against the enemies that may come in the future together."

After hearing this, Fang Yi did not reply immediately but frowned even more.

Obviously, in his eyes, his brother's behavior this time was more like some kind of strategic layout rather than simply repairing the rift...

Yang Jingxuan sighed lightly and did not explain further. Instead, he changed the subject and spoke intentionally or unintentionally.

"Speaking of which, in a few days, it will be the coronation ceremony."

"The Marquis has been unknown for many years, but now there are finally some signs of light coming out."

"I also hope that I can stand on the high tower with you at the coronation ceremony and share the glory with you!"

Hearing this, Fang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

After going around in circles, the fourth brother's purpose was finally revealed.

Although these words were obscure, Fang Yi knew exactly what they meant.

The ceremony of crowning the king is an important opportunity for all champions to be crowned and worship the land. From then on, the sea is wide and the sky is vast, and fish can leap and birds can fly freely...

The fourth brother would naturally not miss this opportunity. The reason why he was invited to a banquet at this moment was obviously because the coronation ceremony was approaching, and he wanted to form an alliance and gain an advantage at the ceremony.

"Your Majesty understands the Fourth Prince's intentions!"

Fang Yi grinned, suggesting something meaningful.

Yang Jingxuan also raised his head and laughed. He leaned forward slightly and asked in a low voice, "What do you think, Lord Marquis?"

As the fourth prince, Fang Yi could not match him in terms of both his origin and status. Even though Fang Yi had previously defeated the elite of Japan and conquered a vassal state, he was ultimately powerless and powerless. It was simply a pipe dream to want to surpass other princes in the coronation ceremony!

This is an opportunity Yang Jingxuan gave to Fang Yi, a rare opportunity!

"I have to say, this is indeed a good idea!" Fang Yi nodded in agreement, but did not agree immediately.

Yang Jingxuan's smile became brighter and brighter, just as expected!

"but……"

"I reject!"

Fang Yi's words were like a bolt from the blue, and the smile on Yang Jingxuan's face instantly froze. He was completely stunned, and couldn't believe his ears!

"You heard me right. It seems that there is nothing for us to unite."

Fang Yi waved his hands with a firm attitude.

Both Chen Jun and Su Zhenlong were just chess pieces used by Yang Jingxuan to test him. His so-called indifference to fame and fortune and his exclusive reading of sage books were just a disguise he had carefully woven.

He has been keeping a low profile over the years and secretly building up allies, and his cunning is even greater than that of his cousin Yang Jingyu.

How could such a thoughtful person suddenly want to join forces with me because he admires my power and status? There is only one truth - he just wants to use me as a tool!

This fourth prince really has a good plan!

Yang Jingxuan sat up straight, the waves in his eyes quickly calmed down, and a faint smile still hung on his face.

"My Lord, forgive me for being blunt, but in this ceremony of crowning the king, apart from you and me, the other brothers have powerful supporters behind them."

"Also, although the Marquis has made great military achievements for the court, he does not have an advantage in terms of family background and status."

Having said that, he narrowed his eyes and leaned forward again.

"Perhaps, the Marquis will arouse the jealousy of others..."

"I'm afraid my life may be in danger!"

The tone became heavier, even containing a hint of threat.

"If we join hands, not only can we gain a lot of advantages, but we can also deter the other princes from acting rashly."

“It’s a win-win situation for both of us.”

After saying that, Yang Jingxuan stared at Fang Yi, waiting for his answer.

However, Fang Yi's face remained calm and composed.

"I appreciate your kindness, Your Highness!"

His words were plain but powerful.

"It's just that I've gotten used to being framed over the years. Such minor incidents are really not worth worrying about."

Fang Yi waved his sleeves gently and leisurely filled the cup in front of him. The liquid flowed, gleaming faintly under the candlelight.

"I'm really afraid that one day I will suddenly have no opponent..."

He chuckled, "Without this excitement and fun, life would probably be a lot more boring, right?"

After that, the clear amber wine was drunk in one gulp, and then the wine glass was casually placed on the table, as if it contained not nectar but ordinary water.

Fang Yi slowly stood up, his tone respectful but his posture unusually casual: "Your Highness, please forgive me, I have drunk the wine, and I have said all I need to say. However, my schedule is tight, so I will not stay any longer."

Yang Jingxuan raised his eyes and stared at the other person, with a complex yet unpredictable emotional fluctuation flashing across his eyes. At this moment, he felt mixed emotions - it turned out that the dialogue just now was actually a subtle warning to the other party?

After this conversation, Yang Jingxuan's understanding of this man who seemed to have retired for many years but was actually extremely cunning reached a new level.

But this is exactly what is so frightening: on the surface, all of Fang Yi's actions reveal a kind of detached and casual attitude, as if nothing can stir up any waves in his heart.

This kind of person is often the most difficult to guess and guard against...
