After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall
Chapter 86 Competition
Unfortunately, the Sixth Prince failed to find conclusive evidence from the Crown Prince. Did Miss Cui come to visit late at night and prepare some ingenious strategy for the Sixth Prince? "
He did not fully understand the complicated relationship between Cui Rongrong and Song Yanyi.
But the twists and turns and bitterness that made Cui Rong devote so much of her efforts to assist Song Yanchen in fighting against Song Yanyi are not something that outsiders can easily guess.
Since he could provide some help to Cui Rong, he naturally would not refuse.
Cui Rongrong smiled lightly, "Master Wen is really straightforward. Yes, I am here to offer a plan to the Sixth Prince. I thought Master Wen would be curious about my foresight, but I didn't expect you to trust me so much and not ask any more questions."
Wen Yinyang responded softly, "It's not that I'm not curious, but I know that Miss Cui's actions must have deep meaning, and every step is carefully considered. As a bystander, why should I say more? Besides, Miss Cui has given me a lot of help, I just need to do my part and do my best."
Cui Rongrong raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes flashing with a sharp light, and her tone was direct and frank: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has only been confined for half a month. This is just a minor inconvenience for him and it doesn't bother him at all. With his personality, he will never sit still and wait for death. The Queen will definitely find ways to get him released from confinement as soon as possible."
She paused and continued, "What the Sixth Prince needs to do most right now is to do his best to win the Emperor's heart. At present, the Emperor is most worried about the security risks at the border. Please, Master Wen, convey this information to the Sixth Prince and suggest that the Emperor strengthen the defense of the border, especially to increase the height and strength of the city walls."
After hearing this, Wen Yinyang was slightly stunned and frowned, "But the treasury is currently empty. I'm afraid the emperor will have concerns about increasing defense projects and will not easily agree."
Cui Rongrong maintained a calm and confident attitude and slowly replied: "As long as our reasons are sufficient and reasonable, and can explain the importance of strengthening defense for the long-term stability of the country, the emperor will not object. After all, strengthening the city walls to resist foreign enemies is nothing compared to the casualties and material consumption caused by directly launching a war."
She then proposed a clever strategy: "If the Sixth Prince can take the initiative to donate half of his salary to build the city wall, then other officials will follow suit even if they are reluctant because of face and public pressure. In this way, the national treasury will not be used, and the task of strengthening national defense will be accomplished. The emperor will certainly be very pleased and look upon the Sixth Prince with new eyes."
Wen Yinyang's eyes flashed with admiration, "Miss Cui's plan is really brilliant. It is not only conducive to the stability of the country, but also benefits the people. At the same time, it can greatly enhance the reputation of the Sixth Prince. I will discuss this matter in detail with the Sixth Prince tomorrow."
He added sincerely: "As for the Sixth Prince's reward, I will definitely pass it all on to Miss Cui. I hope you won't refuse it, otherwise I will feel very uneasy."
Cui Rongrong raised her lips into a gentle smile, "Sixth Prince must seize this opportunity. Only by taking the initiative and occupying a favorable position can he compete with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in future contests."
"I have given you my suggestions. Now it depends on your actions, Master Wen."
After saying that, she stood up gracefully and turned to leave.
Looking at her departing back, Wen Yinyang secretly clenched his fists, with a strong determination surging in his heart.
He knew that in order to protect the Wen family and to repay Cui Rongrong's wisdom and kindness, he must grow quickly and become stronger.
However, he was filled with indescribable awe and curiosity for Cui Rong's profound insight that seemed to be able to foresee the future...
……
The next morning, just as the sky was turning pale, Cui Rong and Cui Min were already ready. They left the gate of Cui Mansion and headed towards the camp.
The moment they entered the camp, they were immediately surrounded by the shouts of soldiers training.
Cui Rong followed closely behind Cui Min, carefully inspecting the soldiers who were sweating profusely under the scorching sun.
Her sharp eyes soon fell on a special figure - Zhang Wen.
Zhang Wen seemed to be working particularly hard during the training. Even though he was wearing a uniform military uniform, his tall and straight figure still stood out like a crane among chickens, and was particularly eye-catching.
Every swing of his sword, every charge, was filled with power and determination.
Cui Rongrong and Cui Min did not interrupt the ongoing training, but chose to wait quietly on the side until the training was over.
"Greetings, General!" The soldiers saluted in unison and loudly.
Cui Min laughed out loud and said, "I am very pleased that you have practiced so hard. Because of this, I have something important to announce."
His words were steady and powerful: "The situation on the border is turbulent, foreign tribes frequently invade, and the people live in fear. This is a shame for the country! Therefore, the emperor decided to select a general who is both capable and courageous to go to the border and deter those arrogant enemies with his powerful military might."
After these words were spoken, the soldiers' reactions varied. Some had an eager gleam in their eyes, while others showed concerns about the dangers they might face after being selected.
Cui Rong carefully observed these subtle changes in emotions. Finally, her gaze fixed on Zhang Wen's face, which seemed calm but was actually turbulent.
Although he appeared calm on the surface, his clenched fists revealed his inner excitement and anticipation.
Zhang Wen has been in the army for many years and has been longing for a chance to prove himself. Now that the opportunity is right in front of him, he naturally will not let it go easily.
All the soldiers held their breath and stared at Cui Min.
He just smiled and continued, "I have seen the dedication and hard work of each of you. It is indeed not an easy task to choose the most suitable candidate among you."
"To ensure fairness, I propose holding a martial arts competition. The winner will not only be promoted to lieutenant general, but will also be sent to the border to quell the rebellion, be awarded a great merit, and be given a thousand taels of silver as a reward!"
Military merit and generous rewards undoubtedly aroused the fighting spirit of all the soldiers, and their eyes instantly became hot and determined.
Cui Min nodded with satisfaction. "Those who are interested in participating in the competition, please stand up. We will fight in groups of two. The competition will begin now."
After careful consideration, about half of the soldiers bravely stepped out of the line, and the rest were responsible for recording the results of the competition and reporting to Cui Min.
The preliminary round was quick and intense, with elimination round after round.
In the end, only a handful of warriors were left, with only a dozen pairs of men battling it out on the field.
Cui Rong watched all this silently, secretly admiring Cui Min's wisdom and planning.
