Dragon Pattern Roll Set

The third son of Kaifeng made a bad move and changed the simple literary test into a combined literary test and military test. As a result, some of the people in the imperial city who were generally optimistic about winning this time were shaken.As a result of this trouble, the competition of the Fourth Academy has more things to watch, and more and more people are paying attention. Of course, what attracts everyone's attention is the competition between the three great talents in the south of the Yangtze River and the three talents in Kaifeng today.

While talking, the food requested by the third son of Kaifeng was also delivered. While eating, the three of them asked the three great talents in Jiangnan, "We will compete in a while, what is the competition, do you have any opinions?"

The three great talents in the south of the Yangtze River were stunned, what is the comparison?Biwen chant, what else can be compared?

Pang Yu was also curious, "Isn't the literati competition just about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

Cao Jian shook his head, "Young Master will also say that, the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry are always so boring. This is a lot of exams every year, and it is nothing new to compare."

Zhan Zhao poked the snails with his chopsticks and looked at Bai Yutang—this kid is about to play tricks again!

Bai Yutang nodded, and brought him another big snail—isn't he like you, everyone loves him!

Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang, his mouse seemed to be in a good mood today, with soft eyes and a sweet mouth.

Bai Yutang stroked the hair on Zhan Zhao's back casually, using the same technique he used when stroking Xiao Wu's hair...

Yin Hou was right across from the two of them, holding the bowl and chopsticks and looking at Tianzun——what is your apprentice doing?

Tianzun was eating, when he saw Yinhou looking at him, he raised his head to make an appraisal, and raised his eyebrows at last - let's tease the cat, you see that your kitty has a good face.

"How about, how about we ask each other questions?" Cao Yuan suggested.

Everyone frowned, how to compete with this?

Chunhua felt that the other party had no good intentions, so he said, "If you don't answer the same question, how can you compete?"

"That's right, you asked me to write a poem and I asked you to draw a picture. How do poems and paintings compare in the end?" Pang Yu also shook his head, the young master had already seen that, the three of them were full of bad luck!Just like the topic of civil and military competition mentioned earlier, it has been calculated long ago!

"Then who should ask the question?" Cao Yuan asked, "It must be fair and just, but also interesting, and it is best to represent the academy..."

"How about this." Cao Kun came up with an idea, "Let's invite a friend each to ask him to write a question, and then we will answer both questions. Since it is a three-person competition, it depends on which two people win in the end. , whichever side wins, how?"

Everyone felt that although his statement was a bit of a mouthful, it was easy to understand and the conditions were acceptable. The key was who would come up with the question.

"Who is asking the question?" Lai Tianqing asked.

"Well... it would be best to represent each other's academies, but it's best not to involve the master, you know... the master of my Qiankun Academy is naturally not as famous as the master of Taixue." Cao Jian smiled.

Everyone at the table in Kaifeng mansion felt that this kid was really worthy of a beating.

"But the levels of their respective friends are uneven... how about we go to our own academy, how about those seniors who have already learned it?"

Everyone was stunned.

Yue Ziming asked, "The seniors who have completed their studies, do you mean the former students of Taixue and the students of Qiankun Academy?"

"Yes." Cao Jian nodded.

"Then who is your Qiankun Academy?" Wang Qi asked, muttering in her heart, feeling that the other party was prepared.

"Oh, a friend of mine is going to watch our competition today, and I'll ask him to write a test in a while!" Cao Yuan smiled, "What about you? Is there anyone here who used to learn to study?"

Everyone looked at each other, there must be a lot of old students in Taixue, Master Bao is one, it's just for a while, where can I find them?

When I was in a difficult situation, I saw someone stretch out his hand, "I'm coming!"

Everyone knew something was wrong when they heard the voice, Nangong sighed deeply, why did he become a bodyguard in the first place?

Everyone turned their faces, and it was Zhao Zhen who raised his hand.

Cao Yuan and the others also noticed Zhao Zhen just now. At first they thought that he might be the master of Taixue, but he turned out to be a student of Taixue. No wonder we got so close together.

"Cough cough." Mrs. Lin Xiao coughed, looked at Zhao Zhen, what did that mean - Your Majesty, you are not joking, where did you ever study in Taixue?

Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows——Didn't you teach me when I was a child? Even though I was in the palace, and I was taken to Taixue by the Eighth King to accompany him to class every day, then I was also a student of Taixue!And the Taixue students are all disciples of the emperor, I want to protect my disciples!

Lin Xiao had no choice but to see Zhao Pu asking for help.

Zhao Pu pretended not to see it, anyway, what Zhao Zhen said was nothing, besides, these scholars, dancing and writing, the Ninth Prince had no interest at all, if it wasn't for Gongsun and the fourth son, he wouldn't have come!These people are too naive, they should have expected the consequences when they took Zhao Zhen out.

"What's your name?" Cao Jian asked Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen smiled, "My surname is Huang."

"Oh, so it's Brother Huang." The three of them nodded to Zhao Zhen, while the rest of the people listened awkwardly and returned Brother Huang. The Queen Mother suddenly had a bunch of sons.

Zhao Zhen pointed to himself, "I am also a student of Taixue."

"Oh..." Cao Yuan nodded, and asked again, "Brother Huang looks imposing, but is he an official in the court?"

The three brothers of the Cao family are not short-sighted, who knows that if they eat at a table with Zhan Zhao and the others, they must have friendship with each other.If it was Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's friend, he must be from Jianghu, but this person doesn't look like he knows martial arts, so he can only be Zhao Pu's relationship with them, so he can't offend him, maybe he is a relative of the emperor.

Seeing the calculation in the eyes of the three people, Zhao Zhen smiled, pointed at Mrs. Lin who was drinking soup beside him, and said, "This is my godfather!"

"Pfft..." Master Lin took a sip of soup and sprayed Ouyang Shaozheng all over.

The old man coughed and frantically wiped Ouyang Shaozheng. Zhao Zhen leaned over to support him and pat him on the back, "Oh godfather, why are you drinking so fast?"

Everyone saw Master Lin twitching in shock, and everyone felt that the old man must be thinking "Amitabha, don't blame the former emperor..."

Kaifeng's third son's expression was a lot more relaxed at this time, it turned out to be Lin Xiao's godson.

What Qiankun Academy is looking for is actually Master Lin's trouble, what do you hear?It turned out to be a relative of Mrs. Lin, so I can't let you go at that moment!I'll take you first, as a blow to the old man!

And on this end, Zhao Zhen, who was full and drinking, thought—what should I ask?This is much more interesting than the title of the champion!

Bao Yan and their table, Yue Ziming asked Pang Yu curiously, "Is that Brother Huang really the adopted son of Master?"

"Uh..." Bao Yan and Pang Yu couldn't answer with their mouths open. Lin Xiao shook his head while holding a teacup, thinking that if Zhao Pu was called Zhao Pu, then Zhao Zhen should be called Zhao Mopu.

"He looks noble, does he have a background?" Lai Changqing was curious.

Bao Yan and Pang Yu sighed—that's right, it's a big deal.

The meal ended in a "pleasant" atmosphere, and everyone got up and prepared to rush to Baekjewon.

Zhao Pu walked side by side with Zhao Zhen, looked at him, "Don't cause any disturbance for a while."

Zhao Zhen was puzzled, "What commotion?"

Zhao Pu sighed, "Those three boys clearly have no good intentions. When a friend asks a question, it seems that it has been arranged long ago. They just want to find out the order for Mr. Lin, and you still say that you are his godson? Isn't this looking for Do you smoke?"

Zhao Zhen looked surprised, "Really? It turned out to be like this?!"

Zhao Pu looked at the sky and looked at him, "You don't do this, just tell me if you did it on purpose!"

Zhao Zhen shook his head seriously, "Of course not, I'm an honest man!"

Zhao Pu is helpless. Zhao Zhen has a dull and honest look since he was a child, and he can't express his emotions. In fact, his greatest hobby in life is to create chaos and punish people. After becoming the emperor, he has no choice but to restrain himself. It's strange to go to the palace and toss hard.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked last.

Zhan Zhao was full and in a good mood, so he whispered to Bai Yutang, "I'm still more concerned about the bloody disaster that Mr. Chen just said."

Bai Yutang looked up at the sky, and said, "My lord is going out to invite wind and rain... It doesn't seem like it's going to rain. There shouldn't be many beams in Baekje Garden later, right? Just pay attention."

All the way without talking, everyone soon came to Baekje Garden, and sure enough, it was already crowded with people.

This is the advantage of having Xiaowu open the way, no matter how crowded it is, as long as Xiaowu utters "Aww", the crowd will definitely separate to the two sides.

Naturally, the black tiger on the streets of Kaifeng was nothing but Xiaowu. Everyone in Kaifeng City knew that it didn't bite, but after all, the king of beasts still had to give face, otherwise a slap with its big fleshy claws would be enough.

The competition took place in a pavilion in Baekje Garden.

This pavilion is the largest one in Kaifeng. It is a scene of Kaifeng. It is simple and elegant. It is the center of Baekje Garden. It is surrounded by lakes and has an elegant scenery.

The crowd is already ready.

At this time, Fang Baekje, the original owner of Baekje Garden, came out. Whenever there was a major competition, he was the one who announced the rules.

Cao Yuan and Xie Yan were the representatives of both sides, they both stepped forward and introduced the rules of this competition to Fang Baiji.

Fang Baekje nodded, and announced to everyone that in today's competition, the two sides will choose a senior to be in charge of writing the questions. Each person will answer three questions. A talented person answers two questions, and those who answer the same two questions face off one-on-one, and the one who wins in the end wins!

Everyone understood the rules of this competition and thought it was quite novel.

Fang Baiji asked Kaifeng's third son, "Which one is responsible for writing the questions at Qiankun Academy?"

Cao Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Oh, it's our senior in Qiankun Academy, Yan Shaogong!"

There was an exclamation from the crowd.

The crowd whispered.

"Yan Shaogong? Isn't that the famous all-rounder in civil and military affairs?"

"That's right! He's from Dali Temple, right?"

"It seems to be the youngest Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

"so smart?"

"But the seniors of Taixue should be more powerful, right?"

"It's true!"

Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "How old is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple?"

Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin, "It should be an official of the fifth rank."

"Is there no need to go to court from the fifth rank?" Bai Yutang asked.

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Well, it shouldn't be necessary, many officials don't need to go to the palace." As he spoke, he pointed to himself, which meant that he didn't go there much except to eat.

Nangong folded his arms and frowned, and asked Zhan Zhao, "You have dealt with Dali Temple a lot, right? How is Yan Shaogong?"

Zhan Zhao laughed twice, "Ha ha."

Everyone swiped and turned to look at him, isn't it good?

The fourth son frowned, and asked, "Is it that vicious bald uncle?"

Zhan Zhao nodded.

Bai Yutang was a little curious, and asked the fourth son, "You know him too?"

Gongsun picked up the fourth son.

The fourth son said, "That time when my father and I went to Dali Temple to help with the autopsy, he was really fierce."

Gongsun touched the fourth son and nodded, "That Yan Shaogong seems to hate me very much, and he will show his face when he speaks bluntly. You must know that the minister of Dali Temple invited me to have an autopsy."

At this time, I heard Pang Yu come over to gossip, "Then what, Yan Shaogong doesn't hate you, but hates all Taixue and people related to Taixue! Especially Master Lin!"

Everyone was curious. Looking back, they saw Master Lin frowning slightly, as if he was a little worried.

"Does he have a grudge against Master Lin?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Bao Yan also came over and said, "I also heard from my father that Yan Shaogong was qualified to enter the Imperial Academy back then, and he was also a rare all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. The incident caused him to lose a great opportunity to enter the imperial academy. Otherwise, with his ability, he probably wouldn't have only been a fifth-rank student until now."

Everyone wondered, "What happened?"

"Yan Shaogong is very addicted to gambling." Pang Yu gossiped to everyone, "But he doesn't like to gamble on Pai Gow and dice, but he likes to gamble on poetry, literature and chess, especially chess. He can make people bear everything, but his arrogance makes people I can't stand it, I like to belittle my opponent when I win, I can't be humiliated when I win, I am very popular as a student, and I really caused a lot of trouble."

Bao Yan nodded, and continued, "That day when he played chess with others, it seemed that he was also in this Baekje Garden. Mr. Lin happened to be wandering around and saw him humiliating his opponent with harsh words. Later, the scholar who played chess with him was annoyed. After leaving, Mr. Lin stepped forward and said, "Young people, victory and defeat are common, why do you hurt people with bad words? If the scholar can't think of something wrong, wouldn't it be a crime?""

Everyone touched their chins, and it really seemed like what Mr. Lin would say.

Pang Yu clicked his tongue twice, "At that time, Yan Shaogong hadn't entered the Taixue yet. When he heard Mr. Lin's words, he laughed and said, 'What do you know, old man? Good one, don’t say he left in a fit of anger, just jump into the river and commit suicide.’”

Everyone's eyelids twitched - that's it...

"Later, Master met him alone in Taixue, and we talked for about a stick of incense." Bao Yan spread his hands, "Yan Shaogong left, and instead of studying Taixue, he went to Qiankun Academy. From then on, he followed Taixue and Master Lin are at odds! You can often hear him speak ill of the two."

Zhan Zhao frowned, "Did Master tell him anything?"

Wang Qi shook her head, "No one knows about this, and the master has never mentioned it, so it must be a severe reprimand!"

Everyone looked at Mr. Lin who found a chair to sit down in the distance, and they always felt that this old man couldn't be connected with the words "severely reprimanded", and "hard-hearted" would be more suitable for him, right?It is almost impossible for him to reprimand a student's kung fu, but it is still possible to annoy others with his kung fu.

Here, gossip about Yan Shaogong, and there, Fang Baiji asked Xie Yan, "Who is in charge of writing the questions here at Taixue?"

The three great talents in the south of the Yangtze River all looked back.

Zhao Zhen walked up with a smile. Nangong really wanted to stop him and drag him back to the palace, but unfortunately he couldn't.

Among the crowd, Yan Shaogong also came out. He was tall and had a shiny forehead.

Zhan Zhao also frowned slightly, "It's not too good, Yan Shaogong is famous for his bad temper."

"A bad temper is also an official." Bai Yutang asked, "Marshals and generals of the Zhao family are here, so he wouldn't beat up Zhao Zhen, would he?"

Everyone looked at him silently——Zhao Zhen was right in front, don't call him by his name just to save face, and don't take the emperor as the emperor just because you have a fourth-grade royal cat backing you.

Bai Yutang touched his nose.

Zhan Zhao is afraid to pat him—not afraid, I will support you, I am a senior official!

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao for a while, then continued to stroke his hair lightly - he was really cute.

In front, Yin Hou looked at Bai Yutang treating his grandson like a cat, and always felt that something was wrong.

"That's right, he won't take the initiative to beat Zhao Zhen."

At this time, another person who opened his mouth and called the emperor's name came over, Zhao Pu.

Ninth Prince looked up at the sky, "Just because he doesn't take the initiative to beat someone up doesn't mean Zhao Zhen won't provoke him!"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and looked at it in a blink of an eye.

I saw that the emperor was discussing with the three sons of Jiangnan with a smile at this time, and they were discussing the countermeasures for the problem.

Tianzun was curious, "Will the little emperor take the initiative to provoke that bald head? That bald head looks quite fierce."

Nangong looked at the sky, "Is it because of seeing the fierce provocation... Is he still afraid of being beaten?"

Everyone frowned—isn't it...

"Oh, that bald head will definitely run into the emperor's brother!" After all, Zhao Lan has been brother and sister with Zhao Zhen for so many years, and knows her black-bellied emperor very well, "The emperor will definitely pick up what he doesn't like to hear... "

Before Zhao Lan finished speaking, Zhao Zhen suddenly asked, "Eh? Isn't Yan Shaogong the one who was expelled from the Taixue?"

The crowd roared. It was also a mystery that Yan Shaogong didn't go to the Imperial Academy to study bricks back then. Although outsiders didn't know about it, people from several major academies had heard about it, so...the pot in the legend is not Which pot to open?

Nangong supported his forehead, and said to Ouyang who was also looking up at the sky, "Why don't you go and get some Imperial City troops to come and wait outside?"

Ouyang shook his head and left.

Wu Yifu folded his arms and smiled, "Kid Zhao Zhen is very interesting. What kind of questions will he ask? I think he's not good. The other party should have been prepared, but he didn't expect Chen Yaojin to come out halfway."

Everyone silently shed bitter tears for Yan Shaogong, this Chen Yaojin can't be offended...

Zhan Zhao was thinking about what the chaos would be like when he felt the fourth son gently tugging at the hem of his clothes.

Zhan Zhao reached out and hugged him from Gongsun's hand.

The fourth son put his arm around Zhan Zhao's neck, pointed at Yan Shaogong who was standing by the table not far away with the other, and said, "Maomao, look at the ring on his hand."

Zhan Zhao looked in the direction pointed by the fourth son, and Bai Yutang, who was on the side, also looked.

On the index finger of Yan Shaogong's left hand, he saw a rather large silver ring.The ring is quite old, and the silver is a little black.Yan Shaogong's family is rich, everyone who can enter Qiankun Academy has silver, why wear a tattered silver ring?Everyone looked at it carefully and was stunned.

The ring Yan Shaogong was wearing was made of three snakes gathered together, and there was no gemstone in the center of the ring, only three petal-shaped snake heads.What makes everyone even more suspicious is that although the snake head has only a simple outline, it feels exactly the same style as the three snake heads on the three-headed Jintuo cavity.

"Master Bao is right. Where there are many people, there are always clues." Zhan Zhao tapped his chin lightly, "I just said why Qiankun Academy is always in front of my eyes. I dare say that this case has something to do with them. relationship."
