My husband, please respect yourself. The princess is here to grab the bride.
Chapter 79 Another Mantingfang
Qi Shaotong couldn't understand Bai Shaoqiu's sadness.
He originally thought that there were still some people in Xiling City who were optimistic about Bai Shaoqiu and were willing to give out money to support Bai Shaoqiu to win, so Bai Shaoqiu should be happy.
After all, it takes great courage to spend huge sums of money to buy a well-known loser to win the championship.
He didn't know that this game was Bai Shaoqiu's idea.
Bai Shaoqiu wanted to eat a big fat man in one bite, but now it seems...
This is such a lonely meal!
It's simply making clothes for others to marry.
It's understandable that the wife he had never met got a good deal, but who the hell was that other person who spent 60,000 taels of silver?
"Let's go!"
Bai Shaoqiu took a deep breath and continued forward with a sense of despair.
Qi Shaotong had already thought about what kind of poem he wanted to write, and he was very excited at this time:
"Brother Bai, you must think carefully about that current opinion. Whether I can win the ten thousand taels of silver depends on you."
What could Bai Shaoqiu say?
The discussion is not difficult at this point, and the final conclusions are nothing more than two:
Either cater to the wishes of the majority of people in the court or even the emperor, and cede territory in exchange for peace.
Or refute their opinions and use passionate words to tell everyone that you will not give up an inch!
If Bai Shaoqiu followed his own inner thoughts, he would certainly choose the second option, which would inevitably offend many people, even the emperor.
If I offend the Emperor...
When I go to Kyoto next autumn, even if I perform well at the Xiangshan Literary Festival, the emperor will have a very bad impression of me. It would be a fantasy to ask the emperor to withdraw his decree.
The emperor will never take it back!
Don't you want to fight?
As a son-in-law of a royal family, what qualifications do you have to discuss state affairs?
But if he were asked to write a long and eloquent article to please others and to cheer for the traitors against his conscience... he felt that he simply could not do it.
As a top warrior in his previous life, the word "treason" has never appeared in his dictionary!
But does this mean he lost?
That's not the case.
This question was not asked by the emperor.
But it was produced by the great scholar Fang who came from Kyoto.
So... the key to getting a grade of A or above on this question lies in Mr. Fang's attitude towards this matter.
"Brother Qi,"
"Ok?"
"How much do you know about Mr. Fang?"
Qi Shaotong pondered for three breaths and said, "I heard from my grandfather that Mr. Fang once served as a Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy and was a close minister to the late emperor."
"Grandfather doesn't know what happened afterwards. Ten years ago, Mr. Fang resigned from his official position and became a teacher at Jinghua Academy."
"Grandfather said that in the Xingguo government, Old Fang is not only a clear stream, he is even known as the two backbones of Xingguo together with Prime Minister Qin!"
Bai Shaoqiu didn't know who Qin Xiang was, so he didn't ask. He heard Qi Shaotong say:
"I heard that the war with Beiliang eleven years ago was initiated by Elder Fang and Prime Minister Qin, despite all objections."
"In that battle, a hundred thousand troops from the northern border marched out of Beigu City, captured Qiuyeyuan, and approached the Nanfeng City of Beiliang."
"The Emperor of Northern Liang sent envoys to Chang'an to negotiate with the Emperor, and they eventually signed the Treaty of Yinmahe..."
"The Yinma River served as the boundary between the two countries, with the area south of the river under the jurisdiction of Xingguo. This battle not only resolved the issue of territorial division between the two countries, but also allowed Xingguo to gain access to a large pasture."
"It was probably after that negotiation that Elder Fang resigned from his position as Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy... Some say this had something to do with the dispute over the crown prince at the time..."
Qi Shaotong looked around and lowered his voice: "The late emperor didn't appoint a crown prince at that time!"
"Mr. Fang was a Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy, and he was also the teacher of the Third Prince at that time!"
"The Third Prince was born to the Empress... This is a bit complicated. Anyway, the late Emperor made the current Emperor the Crown Prince two years after the Battle of Akinohara."
"The current emperor is not the empress's son, but the late emperor's second son!"
"Just listen to these words, but don't spread them out."
"It's a royal matter after all."
"It's not for common people like us to make irresponsible comments!"
Bai Shaoqiu nodded. He had no interest in these things, but from Qi Shaotong's words he could tell that Mr. Fang was not a cowardly scholar.
He is in favor of war!
I am truly worried about the prosperity of my country!
So he put forward this contemporary opinion, hoping to resonate with his thoughts.
Then this article on current affairs that advocates war will surely achieve excellent results.
But doing so would put him in opposition to the vast majority of people in the court!
As a son-in-law of a royal family, I am not afraid of those powerful people, but with my current small body... I can't withstand any attack from them.
what can we do about it?
Bai Shaoqiu couldn't make up his mind.
The Erli Plank Road has come to an end.
"Brother Qi, please!"
"Then I won't be polite. Brother Bai, look, in the mist ahead is Lanting!"
Qi Shaotong went straight to the desk to answer the questions. Bai Shaoqiu raised his eyes and looked towards the roar in front of him.
The mist is quite thick.
The pavilion appeared and disappeared in the mist as the mountain wind blew.
I can't see who is in the pavilion.
But my father-in-law and mother-in-law should be inside.
When I pass the six levels and enter Lanting and stand in front of them...what will they think of me, their son-in-law?
Will the prince and princess regret it?
Will they use force to interfere with my going to Kyoto?
If they insist on keeping me in the palace, there are both advantages and disadvantages—
The benefit, of course, is that with the protection of the palace, one can live a relaxed and happy life.
This soft rice tastes delicious!
But the disadvantages are also huge!
Bai Shaoqiu turned his head to look at Dongfang Meng who was wiping his saliva, and shuddered unconsciously.
Even if Dongfang Changying is a little smaller than this brother-in-law, he still can't handle it!
She was big and strong, which was fine, but the key point was that her brother-in-law said she could beat him a hundred times...
How should I live my life?
Just when Bai Shaoqiu was feeling extremely melancholy, Zhuo Yixing's voice rang in his ears:
"Brother Bai, it's your turn to answer the questions!"
This place can't wait.
Arrival and answer!
Qi Shaotong had finished writing, and now it was Bai Shaoqiu's turn.
Bai Shaoqiu took a deep breath and walked forward.
Quite heroic!
Who cares about him?
How can a living person be suffocated to death by urine?
Let’s get another A first!
Then, Zhuo and his group felt that the figure suddenly became free and easy.
Bai Shaoqiu stood in front of the desk, took out the charcoal pencil, and started writing again!
The judge here is Zhang Wenqian, the dean of Shangling Academy!
He stood behind Bai Shaoqiu.
His eyes fell on the paper:
Mantingfang and the Empty Name of Snail Horn
Another Mantingfang?!
Zhang Wenqian has gained a new understanding of Bai Shaoqiu through this literary gathering——
How dare he underestimate Bai Shaoqiu!
This gentleman is the little brother that Mr. Si and Mr. Fang mentioned!
The talent he displayed was so impressive that even Zhang Wenqian had to admit defeat and feel inferior to him!
So what would he write to express his aspirations?
From being the number one waste in Xiling City to being the number one talent in Xiling City, he must feel very happy!
It should be a pleasure!
It's full of vigor and vitality!
I am very ambitious!
It's just that his identity as a son-in-law makes it difficult to pursue her.
Then this poem of his should be...his great ambition to become a noble and a prime minister!
Of course,
Zhang Wenqian was soon dumbfounded.
[Please give me votes quietly! ]
