Chapter 870 Looks like I’m about to admit defeat

Although Ouyang Ming felt a little unwilling after being exposed by Li Yan's trick, he had other plans when Pan Ai told him. http:booktop Novel Ranking

"Since Brother Li doesn't want to bet on Jiang Xuan's wife, let's find another one. As the scholars said before, if we lose, please ask Brother Li not to set foot in the capital for the rest of his life. How about that?" Since I can't please him, how about that?

As a general, Jiang Biehe could only choose to make friends with these scholars. After all, their combined power was quite large. It would be beneficial to him to have a good relationship with them.

When the scholars in the capital heard this, they immediately applauded: "Brother Ouyang is a righteous man, these wild men should be driven out of the capital. I think it is because there are more people like him in the capital of the Tang Dynasty that it becomes a mess.

Sneaking, abduction and all kinds of things happen. If we drive them all out, the capital will be very prosperous."[

"Yes, this brother is right."

Seeing this, Ouyang Ming couldn't help but secretly shook his head: "Are these people confused by anger or are they out of their minds? How many local surnames are there in the capital? Wouldn't these words offend most of the monks in the capital? Fortunately, if Pan Mansion is here,

If you say something unethical like this on the street, it will start immediately.

The masters will take your lives. Although the people in the mountains lack some education, the masters who emerge are the most numerous. Among other things, Gongsun Xiu, who died not long ago, is an outsider. If these people cause trouble in the capital of Tang Dynasty,

It’s either an empty city or a dead city.”

Although he is also from the capital, he knows very well

Li Yan has completely lost interest in these people. He really can't find anything worthy of praise other than yelling. It's worse than Jiang Xuan. At least Jiang Xuan dared to bet with him, unlike Li Yan.

These people are simply rats in charge of the law.

"In this case, it is the same as what I said before. If you lose, you will not be an official for life, and you will leave the capital like me."

Ouyang Ming hesitated slightly. None of the scholars in the capital looked like officials. Otherwise, they would not have spent so much time and energy on the imperial examination. However, he still nodded in agreement: "Okay, I agree."

"If that's the case, then don't talk nonsense. What's the literary fight?" Li Yan said.

Ouyang Ming had already thought about it, since he wanted to delay Li Yan's return to the army, so naturally it would be those more time-consuming competitions.

"I have already thought about it. Since it is a literary competition, just comparing poems is not comprehensive enough. A literati's talent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is also a point worthy of consideration. Let's do this, we will win two out of three games, and each person will play one game.

How about my mentor sets the questions for the remaining round? My mentor is the former Minister of Rites, I believe Brother Li can trust his mentor’s character.”

Li Yan sneered in his heart: "It's weird to trust him. He's just using Pan Ai to pressure himself."

"I don't know what your character is like as a high official in the imperial court, but I think it's not too bad. It's just that Pan Ai has a close relationship with you as your mentor. Since we want to be fair, why not avoid suspicion."

Ouyang Ming seemed to have expected that he would say this, and immediately said: "Brother Li's words make sense. In this case, the third game will be discussed by everyone here. I don't know what Brother Li wants."

Li Yan looked at the dozens of scholars who had bad intentions. It seemed that Ouyang Ming was planning to borrow their help. However, compared to Pan Ai, the variables in determining the final game were much greater. No one knew what questions would come up.

I don’t know. After all, there are other talents besides them. In this case, we can give it a try, at least the initiative is not in Ouyang Ming’s hands.

"Okay." Li Yan nodded.

When Ouyang Ming heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he elusively sent a few words to those scholars whom Li Yan had offended before: "Everyone, Li Yan is in an impatient mood and can perform temporarily, but if it lasts for a long time,

I am not so patient with time but I am not so patient, so I hope you can come up with good questions in this third round."

Faced with such an obvious reminder, the scholars suddenly smiled. They had heard Li Yan say before that he had something important to do and could not stay long. It seemed that Ouyang Ming was planning to hold him back.

"Brother Ouyang, don't worry, we will do our best."

"When we come up with the question, we will naturally turn to Brother Ouyang, and we will definitely make Li Yan lose his face and get out of the capital."

Li Yanshang didn't know yet that these people had begun to plot against him, but he had already guessed a few things. However, this did not affect the overall situation. The words of dozens of scholars did not have the right to speak, so it was impossible to say for sure.

They were given over to the army by those foreign literati who couldn't stand the scholars in the capital. Even if it didn't work, there would probably be some disputes by then. In this case, the quality of the matter would not be theirs to decide.[

"Brother Li is returning as a guest. How about letting Brother Li pose the question for this game?" Ouyang Ming saw that most of the matter was settled, so he did not take the initiative and just pretended to be generous and gave it to Li Yan.

Li Yan smiled softly: "I didn't expect you to be polite enough, but I'm not good at asking questions, so you should ask me first." Although it was good to go first, he wanted to find out what method Ouyang Ming planned to delay.

Live yourself.

When Ouyang Ming saw that Li Yan actually gave up the opportunity to take the initiative, he immediately said with joy: "Since Brother Li is not good at asking questions, I will ask one first. The ancients often said that cultivating one's moral character can harmonize one's family, and governing a country can bring peace to the world, but a scholar cannot cultivate one's character.

Apart from chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and poetry, I might as well start from the first one and test my musical skills. Come on, please bring me my Xuanyun Firefox Qin."

Soon the young man in gray who was standing not far away flew away. Li Yan recognized this young man as the young man who trampled his carriage when he came to the capital that day. It seemed like what kind of servant he was.

What kind of master is there? To be honest, the beginning of the feud between Li Yan and Ouyang Ming was because of that little boy.

The young man in gray robe had long hated Li Yan deeply in his heart. If Li Yan hadn't killed the blue-eyed golden toad in his care, how would he have been punished by the young master and almost lost his life?

Li Yan is no longer the stupid young man who first entered the capital. Now he doesn't care about this kind of clown. If he dares to jump out and kill him directly, it will save him the upset. If he keeps a low profile

If you don't blame yourself for your actions, you won't waste your energy on such important people.

However, Li Yan was not very confident when it came to playing the piano, because he simply didn’t know how to play the piano at all. Although he had seen the embroidered bamboo piano that day, he only listened and looked at it and did not really learn it.

However, even if this does not appear to be the slightest bit strange, everything appears to be very calm.

"It seems that I have to admit defeat in this round." Li Yan said secretly, and he was ready to admit defeat in his heart, but it didn't matter that there were still two rounds left. In the second round, he directly won the question by himself. As for the third round,

If you can't compete, just compete. If you can't compete, just use military affairs.
