At the moment of application, there was an endless quarrel in front of Chengfu's door.

Regarding the location of the Shangsi Festival feast, the leaders and Wang Shichong refused to give in.

Yang Guanggao sat on the upper seat with a very leisurely expression. Seeing the people below him making a fuss and blushing, he suddenly found it very interesting.

Having seen enough excitement, Yang Guang coughed heavily.

Everyone stopped arguing and looked at him.

Yang Guang said slowly: "It is impossible for you to bring three hundred people each and bring weapons into the palace. Since it cannot be held in the palace, I agree to hold a banquet outside the city, in the south, north and east.

It can be done anywhere outside the city.

"But you have discussed it for so long and still haven't reached a consensus, so let's hold it in the city."

Everyone looked at each other. Originally, they wanted to hold the feast outside the city, which would be safer. But each leader wanted the banquet to be held near his own army, so they were divided into three factions, and no one was willing to give in.

Now Yang Guang proposes to hold it in the city, which is a neutral approach.

Li Mi said: "Okay, I have no problem. It's just for the people to watch together and be a witness."

Li Yuan: "I have no problem either."

Dou Jiande: "I agree."

...

All nine leaders agreed.

Zhu Can asked: "Where in the city will your Majesty plan to hold the feast?"

"You decide the location, and I will decide the rules of the competition." Yang Guang behaved very generously.

He knew these people were wary of him, so he simply let them decide the location.

Li Yuan was most familiar with Luoyang City. After pondering for a moment, he said to everyone: "For a banquet venue that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, there are four locations in Luoyang City that are more suitable.

"The first place is where we are now; the second place is Fengdu City in Nancheng District, the third place is Tongyuan City in Beicheng District, and the fourth place is Datong City in Beicheng District."

After listening to Li Yuan's words, counselors from all forces began to search for the locations of these locations in their minds.

As early as after the various forces arrived outside Luoyang City, the leaders sent spies into the city to investigate. The various forces knew the general layout of Luoyang City very well.

After discussing with their respective counselors, a new round of quarrels began again.

"I agree to hold it in Tongyuan City." This was Liu Wuzhou's voice.

Dou Jiande: "I agree too."

"No, it should be held in Datong City." Li Gui said.

Liang Shidu: "I agree."

"I don't agree." Li Mi said: "The feast should be held in Fengdu City, because Fengdu City is the most spacious."

"Yes, that's right."

Xue Ju, Xiao Xian, and Zhu Can all responded to Li Mi's proposal.

Wang Shichong sneered: "The most spacious location is where we are standing now. Why didn't you choose this place?"

Chengfumen is the closest to Miyagi, who would choose it?

Li Mi and others turned a deaf ear and had no intention of paying any attention to Wang Shichong.

Yang Guang looked very leisurely and ate one grape after another. "You can discuss it by yourselves and let me know when you have decided."

After saying that, he took the peeled grapes from the attendant and continued to eat.

Seeing that Li Yuan didn't speak, Xue Ju shouted: "Why doesn't the King of Tang speak? Where do you want to hold it?"

Li Yuan smiled slightly, his expression as leisurely as Yang Guang's: "I don't have any opinion on where it should be held, you can decide."

He sounded extremely confident when he said this, as if he was not worried that the location would affect future events. Hearing this made Xue Ju's teeth itch. Was this to show off his strength?

Huh, the competition hasn't started yet, we still don't know who is the strongest.

At this time, Dou Jiande said: "Everyone, if we continue to discuss like we did just now, I'm afraid we will have to discuss until dark, so why not let God decide."

"What decision?" Xue Ju asked.

"Tongyuan City in Beicheng District is the largest, and Fengdu City in Nancheng District is the largest. We will choose one of these two locations as the venue for the feast." Dou Jiande said: "The nine of us threw copper coins separately, and the one with heads up was Tongyuan.

City, if tails is up, choose Fengdu City.”

The others thought for a moment and agreed with his suggestion.

So, the nine leaders gathered together and threw copper coins.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the nine people returned to their seats. Dou Jiande said to Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, we have already discussed that the Shangsi Festival feast will be held in Fengdu City."

"Okay, I will send someone to arrange it later."

Yang Guang stretched out his hand, and the attendant immediately took the handkerchief and gently wiped his hands.

After wiping his hands, the attendant stepped back, and Yang Guangcai said loudly: "Now that the location has been decided, I will tell you the rules of the competition."

Everyone looked shocked, the main event was coming.

"The competition is divided into a literary test and a martial arts test. There are three literary tests, and the questions are jointly set by the seven aristocratic families. Only the patriarchs of the seven aristocratic families know these questions, and no one else, including me, knows about them."

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar below.

Whether among the people or in the court, the seven aristocratic families all enjoy high prestige and status. With them in charge, this competition can convince everyone in the world.

The expressions of Li Yuan and others became solemn. They did not expect that Yang Guang actually invited the patriarchs of the seven great families, and they did not hear any news. It was really shocking.

Yang Guang saw their expressions in his eyes and continued: "The martial arts test is very simple. There is only one. Each party sends ten people to engage in a big melee. The last person left on the stage is the winner.

"Weapons can be used, but if the body falls outside the competition stage, it will be considered eliminated and cannot continue."

Finally, Yang Guang emphasized: "On the competition stage, it doesn't matter life or death."

After discussing with their respective advisers, Li Yuan and others agreed on the rules of the competition.

"In that case, everyone should prepare well."

Yang Guang stood up and wanted to leave.

"Your Majesty, please wait."

Wang Shichong stood up, came to the open space in the middle, and said to Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, since it is a competition between various forces, our court should also send out teams to compete with them, so as to be fair."

Hearing this, Zhu Can couldn't sit still, "How is that possible? It's agreed to be a Zen position. What do you mean by sending people from Luoyang to participate? Are you kidding us?"

"That's right." Li Gui followed up and said: "If you in Luoyang win, the emperor will still be His Majesty, would it still be called a Zen position? This is obviously deceiving the people of the world.

"I disagree."

"I don't agree either."

...

Except for Li Yuan and Dou Jiande, everyone else expressed opposition.

"Ah!"

Wang Shichong sneered and said in a contemptuous tone: "What's the matter, are you afraid? Are you afraid of losing to us, Luoyang?"

"Who's scared? It's just that you don't act according to the rules. It's so shameless." Zhu Can retorted.

"Who said we don't act according to the rules?" Wang Shichong glanced at everyone coldly and said slowly: "Your Majesty is true to his word, and he will do what he says.

"The Sui Dynasty has not yet perished and its power is still strong. Why can't we participate?

"If we win, the people of Luoyang should re-elect a highly respected person to accept the Zen position. Why not?"

Everyone was speechless.

If you look carefully, it is indeed possible.

Everyone looked at Yang Guang.

Yang Guang looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was furious in his heart.

What a great Wang Shichong, I treat you so well, but you want to take my throne?

good very good......

Yang Guang endured it and looked at his ministers: "What do you all think of the general's words?"

The ministers came out, knelt behind Wang Shichong, and said in unison: "I second my opinion, General."
