"Is the news accurate? Su Cheng went to the Hanlin Academy to review the examination papers?"
In the post house, Murong Jie received the news the next day, with anger still flashing on his face.
Yesterday, he learned that Shangguan Yunge had become Su Cheng's woman. He had been angry for a day but still could not calm down.
But now that he heard that Su Cheng had gone to the Hanlin Academy to review the examination papers, he suddenly became excited, and the anger on his face continued to fade away, replaced by a look of excitement.
"His Majesty, it's absolutely true. Our people personally watched him go in, and he also ordered the people in the Hanlin Academy not to go back and to take advantage of three days to mark the examination papers." The spy said quickly.
After hearing this, Murong Jie's face showed a look of ecstasy: "Hahahaha, okay, okay, Su Cheng wants to hide it from the outside world. He must be unsure of how to cope with the competition with the old you, so he used an excuse to hide in the Hanlin Academy to ask those people for advice.
Old maester!"
At this moment, Murong Jie became excited.
Su Cheng was not sure, so he took the initiative to ask the old bachelor for advice. They would definitely win this time!
An Cangming was also stroking the beard on his chin at this moment, with a look of astonishment on his face: "The thing is just as they suspected. This person is not very talented and has little knowledge. He is not my opponent, but for the sake of face, he has to fight against me."
"Your Majesty, I suggest that we make things bigger and invite people from all the major dynasties here to watch the battle. Once I win, the reputation of our Great Yan Dynasty will definitely be greatly increased. Even Your Majesty, you will also be in a better position. When you return to Dayan,
His Majesty will definitely look upon you with admiration, and it is not impossible for him to even make you the crown prince!"
The last sentence touched Murong Jie's mind.
As the fifth prince, there are two royal brothers before him. In terms of seniority, it is impossible for him to become the prince.
But if he makes great achievements here and greatly increases his prestige, it is possible that he will become the prince when he returns.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Murong Jie's mouth: "Very good, I will do what you said, Cang Lao. If you come, immediately inform the people from other dynasties here, and watch the Cang Lao and Su Cheng's works in the palace in two days.
fight!"
"Yes!" The people below immediately went to inform.
This is the city of Kyoto. Every dynasty has a posthouse here, and liaison officers are usually stationed here. Murong Jie's purpose this time is to spread the results of the civil war through these liaison officers.
Of course, Murong Jie was not stupid. He was actually a little worried about Su Cheng. After all, he had seen this person's palindrome poems and they were indeed very powerful.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly turned to the spy and asked: "Did Emperor Liang send someone to publicize this civil war?"
The spy shook his head: "At present, only a few officials know the news about Wen Du. The people in the entire Kyoto city still don't know about this competition."
These words made Murong Jie laugh: "It seems that Daliang has no confidence in Su Cheng, so Emperor Daliang did not dare to publicize this matter."
He was right in saying this. Emperor Su Sheng did not have much confidence in Su Cheng. After all, An Cangming had been famous for decades. No matter how powerful Su Cheng was, he couldn't be more powerful than this person, right?
Su Sheng was worried that if Su Cheng lost, it would affect Daliang's reputation, so he did not publicize the matter to the outside world.
As a result, Murong Jie has more confidence in An Cangming!
"Mr. An, since Daliang doesn't want to publicize it, let us do it for them!" Murong Jie said to An Cangming with a smile.
An Cangming looked confident: "My lord, you can take care of these matters yourself. I am responsible for defeating Su Cheng!"
Murong Jie laughed loudly and gave a thumbs up: "I just appreciate your calmness, Mr. An!"
"Come here, immediately promote the literary fight between An Lao and Su Cheng, saying that this time both parties have staked their titles as literary saints!"
Since you want to play, then play bigger and bet the title directly. The loser does not deserve the title of Literary Sage.
An Cangming naturally had no objection to this, while Su Cheng had no confidence. However, he planned not to let Su Cheng write palindrome poems before the competition. This matter was a sure win, and he was willing to bet no matter what!
As long as he defeats Su Cheng this time, An Cangming will be the well-deserved No. 1 Literary Saint in the world!
In fact, he was not very sure at first, but Su Cheng went to the Hanlin Academy to ask for advice, and Emperor Liang did not publicize the matter. Everything showed that Su Cheng was not sure of winning against him.
Since Su Cheng is not sure, he definitely has a chance of winning, and it's very good!
He is afraid of his opponent, but his opponent is even more afraid of him, which means that Su Cheng has a high probability of losing.
Since the chance of winning is high, why doesn't he bet bigger?
Once he wins, the title of the best literary saint in the world belongs to An Cangming!
The most important thing for a literary person is reputation. With the title of the best literary saint in the world, who will dare to call him a literary saint in the future?
Although, for the sake of safety, An Cangming still felt that he had to prepare in advance.
"Your Majesty, after all, Su Cheng has some abilities. We must not be careless. I will go down first and prepare for the competition in two days!"
"Okay, I'll take care of this now!"
The two exchanged a few words and then went about their own business.
At this time, the people sent by Murong Jie also notified the liaison officers of the other five dynasties here. These people were a little surprised when they received the news. They did not expect that Murong Jie would start fighting with Su Cheng as soon as he arrived.
Of course, they were still very excited. After all, if Daliang and Dayan became enemies because of this incident, it would be beneficial to them!
Naturally, the liaison officers of the five dynasties all agreed to this matter and promised to be there to watch the competition in two days and serve as witnesses and referees!
Yes, Murong Jie was clever. He invited these people to be referees to prevent others from saying that this matter was unfair.
With the liaison officers of these five dynasties as witnesses, who dares to say that the competition is unfair, and who dares to admit the results of the competition?
This blocks all of Daliang's escape routes!
At the same time, the people sent by Murong Jie also spread the news of the competition. In just one day, everyone in Kyoto knew about it.
"What, the Literary Sage of the Yan Dynasty wants to compete with Duke Wu An?"
"It's really too much to bully people. He is an old man of several decades, and he actually challenges Mr. Wu An. It's so shameless."
"Who says it's not the case? I really hope Wu An can win over this person. I just can't stand the arrogance of these people!"
"It's so abominable that he was sent all the way here to challenge Duke Wu An. This Great Yan Wen Sheng went too far!"
The people were talking a lot. Some people felt that the Yan Dynasty was coming with great force and was well prepared. Su Cheng, the Duke of Wu'an, might not be his opponent.
But some people think that Wu Angong's palindrome poems are very powerful. It's hard to say who will win this time.
The matter continues to ferment in the discussion among the people. It is spread everywhere. Everyone is waiting for the results of the competition in two days!
