After accidentally having a cub with the prince of the enemy country

Although Chen Qi made a promise in front of Sui Heng, he knew that it would not be easy to win.

The Spring Banquet was organized by Yan's. Half of the judges of the Spring Banquet's six arts competitions were inextricably linked with Yan's.Once the Crown Prince's Mansion and Yan's broke openly, he, who participated as Crown Prince Sui Heng, would definitely be targeted by those judges.To win the competition, he must ensure that he can get the full approval of the other half of the judges.

The other half of the judges were basically Jimo Qingyu's disciples.

Jimo Qingyu is famous for being a clean stream, a pure minister, and his six relatives do not recognize him. His disciples uphold the teacher's ambition, and he is also famous for only recognizing talents but not people. At that time, those disciples never intentionally tripped Yan's disciples at the Spring Banquet, and they even appreciated Yan Qi's articles very much, and sent the name of Wenkui to Yan Qi for many years in a row.

Chen Qi worked hard and diligently. Although he did not doubt his talent in writing, Yan Qi was the number one writing expert in Jiangbei. The influence is mainly in the south of the Yangtze River, and the spread of the article in the countries in the north of the Yangtze River is far less than that of Yan Qiguang.

There is another thing that cannot be understood by outsiders.

He is not as good-looking as Yan Qi, who is handsome and elegant.

In this era, people place great importance on appearance, and the imperial court regards appearance as one of the criteria when selecting talents. For two articles of the same level, those with superior looks are more likely to get high marks from the judges.

Commonly known as looking at the face.

Chen Qi had read Yan Qi's articles before, the writing was magnificent, the words were gorgeous, and he was able to say something, and the writing was strong. He was indeed a very competitive opponent, worthy of the reputation of Jiangbei's number one essayist.

Yan Qi is favored by celebrities in Jiangbei, and he has a natural favor with the judges.

To win Yan Qi, he needs to have the advantage of crushing the opponent in strength.

This is a difficult battle, and it is also a gamble. Once he wins, he will also have a real chance to soar into the sky.

"Right side."

When the confidant conveyed the prince's original words to Yan Bing, he hardly dared to look at his face.

Yan Bingben sat in the chair and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Hearing this, he slowly opened his eyes and asked, "He really said that?"

"Yes."

The confidants were also quite surprised. Although the crown prince had made a lot of military achievements and relied on force to dominate the government and the public, a successful heir cannot do without the assistance of civil servants. The confidants really did not understand where the prince got the confidence to break with the Yan family.

Yan Bing looked calm.

"It's normal for an eagle to grow its wings and want to fly by itself."

It's just that people in the world can only see the eagle that successfully rushed out of the cliff, but not the thousands of corpses that fell to pieces at the bottom of the cliff.

The confidant asked: "Then this list?"

The list is carefully selected. The Yan family is a generation of outstanding people. The spring banquet is an excellent opportunity for them to make a name for themselves. The Yan family will not let these children miss the game.

Yan Bing closed his eyes again, and lightly ordered: "Leave it to Prime Minister Zuo."

Heartbroken.

The left minister, Jimo Qingyu, is the backbone of the civil servants of the Qing School, and has been in charge of the competition for the civil servants group. The Patriarch's move is to let Yan belong to the civil servants team for the competition.

This is something that has never happened before.

Even three years ago...

The strength of the civil official group is not weak. If Yan's help is added, in the six arts event, the prince's side has almost no chance of winning.

The owner of the family obviously wanted to teach the prince a lesson by doing this!

The one who reacted much more violently than Yan Bing was Queen Yan.

Empress Yan felt that her son must be crazy, so she gave up on Yan's disciples and dreamed of forming a team of literati by herself.

The Yan family has deep and vast roots in the court, how can it be shaken overnight.Empress Yan was so angry that she called Sui Heng to her and reprimanded her.

After Sui Heng heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, Empress Mother, even if you leave the Yan family, my son will not lose."

She was kicked directly by Queen Yan.

"I know you are high-minded and unwilling to submit to Yan and be manipulated by Yan, but the Spring Festival Banquet is not about leading soldiers to fight. You think you can put a knife on the judge's neck with the help of those reckless men under your command, and let the judges know that you are the only one who can hold a knife in the judge's neck, so that you will be able to hold the judge's neck." They gave you the position of leader? To be a man, you have to be practical. Whether it is public or private, the Yan family is your best choice. Did you get kicked out of your head by a donkey to make such a stupid decision?"

Empress Yan scolded Sui Heng and was still not relieved, so she called Xu Qiao to scold Sui Heng.

In Empress Yan's view, Xu Qiao was Sui Heng's most trusted confidant and counselor. As a counselor, he didn't stop his master from committing crimes, and even followed him to make fools of himself.

Xu Qiao was suffering so much that he didn't dare to defend himself, so he could only kneel on the ground and let Queen Yan scold him.

In the end Sui Heng said with a sullen face: "Mother will discuss the matter of the beak and orphans again. Gu really wants to report to the father and the emperor, and the mother has interfered in politics without authorization."

Empress Yan was so angry that she let him go.

Sui Heng took Xu Qiao along with him in a good manner.

Empress Yan rubbed her chest, unable to relax for a long time.

Qin Nanny patted her on the back: "Your Highness has just conquered the Five Kingdoms in the South of the Yangtze River, and he is at the age of showing his sharpness. It is understandable to want to prove one's strength. From the perspective of slaves, the empress does not need to be so angry. Perhaps, His Highness is so confident, it really is true." It’s the winning ticket.”

Queen Yan looked at her angrily.

"Is that called self-confidence, that's called arrogance, ignorance!"

"Bengong really, what evil did you do in your previous life to give birth to such a bastard!"

**

Taking advantage of his past prestige, Chen Qi quickly recruited a group of talents for Sui Heng from various countries in the south of the Yangtze River. Among them, there are not only famous scholars and Confucians who have been famous for many years, but also some geniuses who are at ease.

For example, a Taoist priest who is good at hand-talking is called Xiaoyaozi.

Xiaoyaozi's ancestral home was in Jiang Country. Because of his humble background, he was looked down upon by others, depressed and frustrated, so he fled to the mountains to practice.Although hand talk is not included in the six arts, it is also an important literary item.After receiving the important task from Sui Heng yesterday, Chen Qi immediately invited Xiaoyaozi out of the mountain immediately.

Sui Heng summoned these people in advance.

Chen Qi introduced him to the past one by one, and when he introduced Xiaoyaozi, Sui Heng narrowed his eyes slightly: "I heard that Jiang Rongyu, the prince of the Jiang Kingdom, likes to condescend and condescend the most, is courteous and virtuous, and recruits guests everywhere for himself when he has nothing to do. Since you are from Jiang Country, why didn't you work for Jiang Rongyu?"

Xiaoyaozi could feel that the prince of the Sui Kingdom didn't seem to like him very much.

Jiang Guo and Sui Guo are feuds and sworn enemies, and the other party's attitude is not incomprehensible.

Xiaoyaozi raised his whisk, and replied sternly: "Your Highness, the poor Taoist just doesn't want to be loyal to a pious hypocrite, but only wants to serve a wise master like Your Highness."

Sui Heng showed an expression of interest.

"You also think Jiang Rongyu is a hypocrite?"

"That's right, this person claims to be condescending and courteous and corporal, but he is actually very arrogant and rude, bullying others with his power, and a poor family like a poor man is like a pig and dog in his eyes, and he doesn't even have the threshold I can't touch it. This person is extremely jealous, and he can't see people who are more talented than him. He only wants to recruit those mediocre people who always praise him and flatter him. The poor are ashamed to be loyal to such people."

Sui Heng asked: "What can the priest bring to Gu?"

Xiaoyaozi replied: "In the hand-talk session, the poor will definitely win the first prize for His Highness."

"Well, Gu is different from Jiang Rongyu. Gu chooses and employs talents. He has always been eclectic and only uses talents. As long as the Taoist leader has real talents and real learning, he will never be buried as a pig or dog here in Gu. It's just—"

He changed the subject: "Although Gu's prince's mansion is rich, it doesn't support idlers. I hope the Taoist priest can show off his glory and let Gu see your ability."

The other party gave a light look, as if it weighed a thousand catties.

Xiaoyaozi broke out in a cold sweat uncontrollably, and finally understood how the prince's notoriety spread among the Jiangnan and Jiangbei countries.

"Poverty will go all out."

Xiaoyaozi Hong Liang answered.

Sui Heng nodded, and walked down with his hands behind his back, when he passed by him, he suddenly said: "Gu doesn't like things that are talked about by gods and gods, since the Taoist priest enters Gu's door, he is Gu's servant, from now on, you don't need to wear this Taoist robe. "

Xiaoyaozi was taken aback for a moment, then responded tremblingly.

When Sui Heng returned to the palace, Jiang Yun had already fallen asleep.

Jiang Yun was the most well-behaved person in sleeping that Sui Heng had ever met, he didn't turn over, he didn't talk in sleep, if no one disturbed him, he could lie quietly all night.

But Sui Heng didn't follow the rules.

As soon as Sui Heng came back, seeing the little beauty's thin jade-like back and silky black hair, he couldn't help wanting to bully her.He took Jiang Yun's exposed wrist and put it on his chest.

As soon as he found a good place, Jiang Yun was woken up by him.

Jiang Yun frowned, and looked at him, and his hand that was held by him, very incomprehensible.

"doing what?"

"fine."

Sui Heng lay down on the ground, still holding his little lover's hand domineeringly, and pressing it on his heart. "I just miss you."

Jiang Yun was sleepy and didn't want to get entangled with him.

Closing her eyes to sleep, she caught him off guard on the cheek.

Sui Heng smiled triumphantly.

"I won't let you sleep."

His eyes were exceptionally bright and he seemed excited.

Jiang Yun really couldn't understand what was wrong with this person being inexplicably excited in the middle of the night.

"The next few days are very important days for Gu. Gu hopes that you can stay on the field and witness Gu's special moment with your own eyes."

"Special moment?"

"Ah."

Sui Heng raised his eyebrows: "It's as important as the moment you give to the orphan."

"..."

Jiang Yun didn't want to talk to him at all, withdrew his hand and fell asleep.

Sui Heng knew that he was sleepy, so he didn't make trouble anymore, got up and took off his clothes, then lay down again, hugged him from behind, and fell asleep too.

The Spring Banquet originated from a literati sub-gathering, known as an elegant gathering.

The competition of the six arts is the core of the Spring Banquet, and the competition of literary items represented by the six arts of gentlemen is held first.

In the early morning of the next day, all the participating literati and students from all over the world entered the arena, and the Sui Emperor and the angry Queen Yan also sat on the high platform early to prepare to watch the competition.

Compared with previous years, this year's spring feast is particularly eye-catching.

One is because Crown Prince Sui Heng has not attended the spring banquet for three full years, and at the spring banquet three years ago, such an accident happened again.

Second, because of the surrender of the Five Kingdoms in the South of the Yangtze River, a large number of powerful competitors have been brought to the "Six Arts" literary category, such as the article category. Chen Qi, the former No. [-] essay master in the south of the Yangtze River, and many other well-known southern essay masters For music, there is "Young Master Le" among the four sons of the Southern Kingdom, Luo Fengjun, the eldest son of the Luo Kingdom who is known as a musical genius.

The four sons of the Southern Kingdom, who are well-known in all countries, except for the rumor that they were seriously injured when they fell off a cliff, and they don’t know how many days they will live. Except for a "virtuous" name, Jiang Yun, the prince of Jiang Kingdom, who seems to have no outstanding talents, the other three belonged to the Great Sui Dynasty. , will appear in this year's Spring Banquet competition field, bringing a lot of pressure to the northern countries.

However, compared with a powerful country like the Sui Kingdom, the talents of other small northern countries are relatively weak and withered, so the greatest pressure is still on the suzerain country of the Sui Kingdom.As for the Sui Kingdom, the crown prince, Sui Heng, received the most attention.

Early in the morning, the news that the Yan family's children would be included in the civil official group and not represent the Prince's Mansion in the competition quickly spread everywhere.

All the subordinate countries, including the Sui capital literati group, were both surprised and puzzled.

Everyone is quietly watching, waiting to verify the falsification of the news.In the eyes of all the people, Yan Qi, the eldest grandson of the Yan family, dressed in a scarlet robe, stepped down from the carriage of the Yan family.

The servant held an umbrella for the young master.

The literati on the field rushed towards him immediately, some exchanged pleasantries, and some wanted to take the opportunity to inquire about the news.Yan Qi greeted everyone with a smile, but did not give a positive answer to the question of Yan's participation.

Jiang Yun also got up early in the morning, accompanied by Shi Fang and Fan Qi to watch the fun, and was slightly surprised to hear that Sui Heng did not use Yan's children.

Fan Qi drooped his face, and said to Shi Fang: "I don't believe their nonsense, no matter what the Yan family is, Mr. Yan Qi will definitely stand by His Highness, as long as Mr. Yan Qi is there, plus that Chen Qi, Your Highness is sure to win."

Shifang said he was naive.

"Do you think he will break with the Yan family for His Highness?"

"Why not? Yan Xiang is used to being assertive and domineering, and Mr. Yan Qi is not that kind of person." Fan Qi was not convinced: "If you don't believe me, let's wait and see."

Before the competition, everyone has to reveal their identities, go to the judges to get the designated dental plaque, and clearly indicate which side they represent in the competition. This is the rule.

When Yan Qi stepped onto the stage, all eyes were on him.

The sun rises slowly along the Qushui River, the breeze blows the willows, and the spring is pleasant. Yan Qi's clothes are flying, and his fingers are falling. Finally, he picks up a plaque with words engraved on it, representing the civil official group.
