I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

Lin Fan is extremely good at science, but that doesn't mean he knows nothing about liberal arts.

In just a moment, countless poems appeared in Lin Fan's mind.

He even felt a little confused about what kind of poem he should write.

Lin Fan's frowning brows at this moment were a sign of deep thought in the eyes of everyone.

Lin Yidao looked at him and his thoughts became active.

The reason why Lin Yidao planned to give Lin Fan a warning was not only because of the secret instructions from Lin Zhengguo and Lin Rui, but also because of his own little thoughts.

Lin Yidao is loyal to Emperor Liang, so naturally he does not want the monarch a hundred years after Emperor Liang to be a foolish and incompetent person.

He also intended to test Lin Fan.

Although Lin Fan's forcing his way into Yihe County made Lin Yidao angry, it also allowed Lin Yidao to see some of the shadow of Emperor Liang when he was young.

As for who is more suitable for the throne between Lin Fan and Lin Rui, Lin Yidao does not consider it, and it is not something he can interfere with.

"Well, it depends on your Majesty's decision."

Lin Yidao stopped thinking about these things and waited quietly for the busy people with a leisurely attitude.

Chu Nian'er kept staring at Lin Fan's figure. She felt that the man in front of her was particularly mysterious.

Although I have roughly guessed Lin Fan's identity, I still feel that there is a layer of mystery around Lin Fan.

"The legendary foolish prince doesn't seem to be stupid at all. Instead, he is like a gangster. He is even very serious and has great literary talent. He doesn't have a single bit of ruffian spirit. Is he hiding his incompetence?

So, what is his true face?"

Chu Nian'er had many questions in her mind, and she also developed a curiosity about Lin Fan.

From childhood to adulthood, she seemed to have never seen such a man.

Chu Nian'er thought she was good-looking, but Lin Fan didn't seem interested, which also aroused her competitive spirit.

At this moment, Lin Fan finally stopped worrying, figured out the result, picked up the pen and started writing on the paper.

"Time is up, please pick up your pens."

Yue'er reminded.

"Alas, I am not good at military poetry. I am afraid I will be eliminated."

"If I had another stick of incense, I would be able to take my poem to a higher level, but now it's a little difficult."

"Who says it's not? Let's wait and see what the governor has to say about it."

A group of scholars and talented people from wealthy families began to whisper and discuss.

Yang Jiannan also participated in the poetry reading and stayed in the second round.

At this time, Yang Jiannan asked softly: "Brother Lin, are you sure?"

"No."

Lin Fan spread his hands calmly. He didn't care whether he could win or not. After winning, he would probably have a meal with Chu Nian'er.

He was not very interested in this.

He wanted to go to Jiangnan as soon as possible.

The reason for staying in Yihe County was not only to put on a show and let Lin Yidao and the people in the capital know, but also to let the 500 heavy cavalry rest and replenish food and grass.

Lin Fan looked at Yang Jiannan's worried expression, smiled, and asked, "What about you? How confident are you?"

Yang Jiannan smiled cheerfully, spread his hands like Lin Fan did, and said, "This is just a springboard for me! Brother Lin, next time, we will definitely meet in the capital."

"Hahaha, okay, it's a deal."

"A word is settled!"

Lin Fan had naturally noticed Yang Jiannan's poems just now. His poems were relatively immature, but one could still feel his lofty ambitions.

Lin Yidao waved his hand, signaling Yue'er to start reading poetry.

"start."

Yue'er walked forward and began to recite poetry.

After naming several people, Lin Yidao and Chu Nian'er were not very satisfied with it.

These poems are not only too wordy and difficult to write, but they also fail to make people feel the atmosphere and momentum of the military.

Yang Jiannan's poem finally made Lin Yidao's eyes light up.

Although his poems do not have too many ornate words, they express the hardships of military life.

It also reminded Lin Yidao of when he was trapped in a mountain, with almost no ammunition or food left, and only three hundred people left, relying on gnawing on tree bark to survive.

Lin Yidao didn't want to recall what happened back then, but every time he thought about it, he felt more and more that he was lucky.

It almost drove him to commit suicide.

And now, he is still alive.

Therefore, Lin Yidao intended to promote Yang Jiannan and make him his aide.

Lin Yidao looked at Yang Jiannan and asked, "You are very good. What's your name?"

Yang Jiannan bowed to Lin Yidao and said, "I am Yang Jiannan."

"Very good, very good. Are you willing to be my staff?"

Everyone was shocked. The prefect actually recruited this poor scholar personally?

There is such a great opportunity?

The other scholars kept their eyes on Lin Yidao, trying their best to act like they were also very capable.

But Lin Yidao was completely indifferent.

Yang Jiannan glanced at Lin Yidao, then at Lin Fan, shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, I don't want to."

"what?"

"Did I hear wrongly? He actually gave up such a good opportunity?"

"This is the staff of the governor's mansion!"

The people also talked about this and were all surprised by Yang Jiannan's words.

Some scholars even wanted to shout out: I do, please choose me, Sir Governor!

But Lin Yidao was not interested in them.

"Haha, the sky is high and the birds fly freely, it's up to you."

He was not too angry about Yang Jiannan's rejection, and there was not even a ripple in his heart.

After all, Lin Yidao had no idea how talented Yang Jiannan was, and he recruited him only because his poems resonated with him.

Yang Jiannan bowed to Lin Yidao and said, "Thank you for your understanding, sir."

"You made the right choice." Lin Fan said to Yang Jiannan with his smile on his face.

"Next, it's Master Lin's poem."

The moon continued at this time, interrupting the crowd's commotion.

"Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it.

Jiaguang opened to the sun Jinlin.

……

Report your satisfaction on the golden stage,

I will die for you, supporting Yulong."

After hearing this, Lin Yidao's heart was shaken.

Especially the last sentence, which completely shocked him. Wasn't this exactly what he was thinking?

"Good! Good poem!"

Chu Nian'er looked at Lin Fan's calm and peaceful face and thought for a long time, but she still couldn't understand why Lin Fan could write such a military poem.

This poem formed a sharp contrast with the one written by Yang Jiannan, and was several levels higher than Yang Jiannan's, making Chu Nian'er even more looking forward to Lin Fan's performance next.

"Brother Lin, what a great poem! I am ashamed of myself!"

Yang Jiannan savored Lin Fan's poems carefully, but finally shook his head in self-mockery.

"Gorgeous poems do not mean brilliant talent. If we talk about real talent and knowledge, I am far inferior to you."

Lin Fan was not trying to comfort Yang Jiannan, but was telling the truth. After all, if he were to write it himself, he probably wouldn't be even half as good as Yang Jiannan.

"Okay, the next round is also the final round. There are a total of four talented people participating."

"This time, please use this painting to compose a poem."
