Chapter 93: The King of Zhenbei Sends His Head Again
The Palace of Supreme Harmony, where Song Jiancheng received Princess Dongcang and a group of Dongcang envoys.
"Your Majesty, the purpose of my trip is to marry the two countries and conclude a friendly alliance!" Dongcang envoy Du Zhengqing said solemnly. Behind him were Dongcang Princess Ji Chenxin and an old man, a lean man.
However, Ji Chen didn't seem to care about the alliance between the two countries. He looked left and right, always looking for Song An.
I just looked around and couldn't seem to see Song An, which made me feel a little disappointed.
"I, Da Qi, also want to form an alliance with Dongcang. Among the princes of Da Qi, I wonder if Princess Dongcang wants to marry my son?" Song Jiancheng looked at Ji Chenxin with a smile on his face. Emperor Dongcang had not said that before.
If the prince wants to get married, Ji Chenxin will make his own decision about the marriage partner.
"Your Majesty, the marriage is of great importance. We naturally have to test the princes. There are three levels in total. If the princes can pass it, they will be considered to have passed the test and can marry my princess!" Du Zhengqing said with a proud face, although they are
Those who come to get married, but not just anyone can do it.
"Okay!" Song Jiancheng nodded. It was okay to make some requests. He was quite satisfied with his princes.
"Envoy Du, stop writing. Just say it quickly so that your princess can see that we have more than just one Song An in Daqi!" Song Hongshu's face was gloomy. He was extremely depressed today.
Facing Song Hongshu's questioning, Du Zhengqing's expression did not change. It seemed that he had expected Song Hongshu to behave like this. Since he was coming to Daqi, as Dongcang's envoy, he was naturally well prepared.
"Second prince, don't worry. This is the first level - Bi Wen. I heard that the eldest prince of Da Qi has unparalleled martial arts skills and the second prince has extraordinary literary talent. I wonder if today can be an eye-opener for us?" Du Zhengqing raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Hahaha, I thought it was something special. Even Dongcang, you guys, can come up with such tricks, just come up with random questions!" Song Hongwen looked disdainful. His name was not for nothing. He was not as talented as a scholar.
But among the princes, he felt he was number one.
Only the son of Prime Minister Su Chaoen can compete with him.
Upon hearing the essay, the fourth prince and the sixth prince all looked frustrated. Although they also attended the royal academy, being able to write and write was really not their strong point.
Seeing that Song Hongwen was so confident, all the courtiers in Daqi finally regained some luster on their faces. The envoy from Dongcang had been so arrogant just now that their faces were not even bright.
"Since the second prince is so confident, then please ask me, Yu Haiqiao, the director of Chongshan Academy, to propose the question." Du Zhengqing smiled and then stepped aside to make way for Yu Haiqiao. The old man on Ji Chenxin's right was
He nodded and walked forward.
When Su Chaoen heard Yu Haiqiao's name, his face suddenly darkened. He never expected that Dongcang would send Yu Haiqiao, one of the two great scholars in the world, and he couldn't help but worry whether Song Hongshu could survive this.
One level.
Song Hongshu's eyes showed admiration again. He never expected that one of his idols, Yu Haiqiao, would appear here.
"Song Hongshu, I've met you sir!" Song Hongshu bowed respectfully to Yu Haiqiao. No matter what the outcome was today, Yu Haiqiao deserved this gift from him.
"The first question is to write a poem!" Yu Haiqiao just nodded symbolically towards Song Hongshu.
Taking mountains as the topic is not difficult. It seems that Yu Haiqiao just wanted to test the level of Song Hongshu and others in this first question.
Hearing this, Song Hongshu smiled and then said.
"One flat river, two peaks shouldering each other, eight hundred mountains lying on its sides, pushing across fifty states!"
"good!"
As soon as Song Hongshu finished speaking, there was a thunderous roar in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Song Hongshu was worthy of having learned from famous masters and learned from others.
Facing Song Hongshu's poem, Yu Haiqiao also nodded, knowing that Song Hongshu described the Eight Hundred Miles Xunlong Mountain at the junction of Daqi and Dongcang. New
"Not bad, pretty passable!"
"Thank you, sir. I will be satisfied if you can say yes to him!" Song Hongshu was full of pride. It was enough for him to brag if the great scholar Yu Haiqiao could say "yes" to him.
"How are you?" Yu Haiqiao's eyes were calm, his eyelids moved slightly, and there wasn't much expression change on his face.
As one of the two great scholars in the world in Dongcang, facing a character like Song Hongshu, he really couldn't arouse much interest.
Su Chaoen and Lu Yan clearly saw this, and their expressions were not very good. However, these princes could only do this. From this point alone, Daqi was a little worse than Dongcang.
Later, the four princes bravely composed a poem each, but compared to Song Hongshu, they were obviously far behind. Yu Haiqiao looked even more disgusted. For such a great scholar, the two of them were
No different than an idiot.
"It's so boring. I thought Da Qi was full of talented people, but it seems they are just a bunch of crooked melons and cracked jujubes!" While everyone was still thinking about what to do, Ji Wuxin stretched out his body with a bored look on his face.
said.
As soon as these words came out, the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony could be heard. Even Song Jiancheng's face was ashen and he was holding the dragon chair in his hand tightly. If you look carefully, you can even see the fine cracks on the dragon chair.
.
The corner of Song Hongshu's mouth twitched. He never thought that the answer he thought was good would turn out to be worthless in Ji Chen's heart. This was the first time since he was a child that he had been so humiliated.
Moreover, when Ji Chenxin said this, it was not just them who were humiliated, but also Daqi as a whole!
"Forget it, just forget about the subsequent trials. A guy like this is not worthy of being my man, Ji Chenxin!" Ji Chenxin sneered, turned around and left.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Su Chaoen hurriedly stood up. As the prime minister of Daqi, if he did not stand up and say something, the whole Daqi would be disgraced.
"The princess is surprised by this statement. I, the prince of Da Qi, am not only good at writing poems. In other aspects..." Su Chaoen had a smile on his face. He naturally had the means to become the prime minister of Da Qi. He just wanted to take over the important things.
In the past, before he finished speaking, he heard a figure ringing in front of the gate of Taihe Hall.
"Who said that I, the Prince of Daqi, can't compose poetry?"
Everyone in the hall was attracted by the sound. They all looked towards the door of the hall and saw Song An wearing blood-stained armor and walking in with a bloody human head in his hand, followed by Dian Wei and
Xu Chu and Xu Chu each held several heads in their hands. Their injuries didn't even have time to be bandaged, so they walked in like that.
Guo Jia specially warned him, just to create a tragic atmosphere.
"Father, my son and I led the army to Cang County and successfully prevented Beimang's plot to destroy Cang County, our northern granary. They killed the traitor Lu Liang and wiped out 30,000 rebels. The three northern states successfully invaded Beimang for ten years.
The army of ten thousand was repulsed and more than 20,000 Beimang wolf soldiers were successfully killed!"
"These are the heads of the traitor Lu Liang and Wan Sha Dian, the three Tian Zi Bang killers!!!"
