Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

The emperor set the questions himself, and no one dared to object. The competition was organized by the emperor, and he had no reason to let Xiao Yunxi off and help her cheat.

"You two should write a frontier poem about the soldiers at the border. The format is not limited."

Xiao Yunxi gestured to the young man:

"You go first..."

There are 300 Tang poems, half of which are about frontiers. If you pick any one of them, it will be overwhelming. If she recites them first, the young man may even lose the courage to show his own poems.

She meant well, but some people didn't appreciate it.

"The Crown Princess should come first."

It is extremely difficult to compose poetry on the spot. Every extra second means a greater advantage. Xiao Yunxi wants to take advantage of him, but Wu Yingda will never agree.

"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Are you sure I should do it first?"

The young man gritted his teeth:

"Princess, please go first!"

He already had a draft in his mind, but its quality could not compare with the poem describing snow just now. Wu Yingda actually bought him time.

Then think about it again.

Xiao Yunxi saw through his and Wu Yingda's little tricks. Giving you opportunities is useless, so I will use my ultimate move.

Speaking of frontier poems, the first thing that came to Xiao Yunxi's mind was the line "I will never return until I have conquered Loulan", which has the same meaning as "Whoever offends the Han Dynasty will be punished, even though he is far away."

The word Loulan frequently appears in frontier poems.

Whether it is the government troops passing through Loulan to the west, with the camp facing the cold moon cave, or returning to Loulan and heading towards Shuofang City, or the achievements of Loulan are long gone, just wandering around in the world.

Each line of poetry shows the "special friendship" for Loulan, which has to mention the vengeful nature of the descendants of Yan and Huang.

Great victories are glossed over, small failures are highlighted, and the five thousand years of history, including the Qin Emperor and the Han Emperor, are all mentioned in a few words.

The history of humiliation in modern times over the past century needs two books to be recorded.

Loulan was located at a strategic point on the Silk Road and had a superior geographical location. It did not want to rely on the Han Dynasty, but was also worried about being annexed by the Xiongnu, so it had to play both sides and be a fence-sitter.

When the Han Dynasty envoys passed through Loulan, Loulan not only did not offer them protection, but also secretly colluded with the Xiongnu to attack the Han Dynasty envoys.

The result was that the Han Dynasty was furious and wanted to punish the perpetrators even though they were far away. Loulan disappeared in the long river of history.

In this time and space, there is no Loulan, but there is a country with a similar experience to Loulan, Shanshan, so the poem can be used with slight modifications.

"Long clouds in the northwest darken the snow-capped mountains, and the lonely city looks out towards Beisheng Pass..."

Qinghai was changed to Northwest, Yumen Pass to Beisheng Pass. Just the first two sentences made the young man stiff all over.

The scenes in the first two sentences seem to be right in front of us. The long clouds darkening the snow-capped mountains represent the oppression of war, and the distant view of Beisheng Pass represents the soldiers’ longing for home before going to war.

He didn't believe that Xiao Yunxi could come up with a decent poem in such a short time, but now he is shaken. These two lines of poetry are profound, and even great scholars cannot match them.

Don't panic, calm down, and there are two last sentences. If you can't make the intention, it will be useless.

The quality of the poems was not much different, and he was the winner in the end.

"A hundred battles in the yellow sand wear out my golden armor, and I will not return until I have conquered Shanshan."

However, Xiao Yunxi slowly uttered the last two sentences, and the young man lost his balance and fell to the ground, muttering to himself,

"A hundred battles in the yellow sand wear out my golden armor, and I will not return until I have conquered Shanshan."

"I will never return until I have conquered Shanshan."

Wu Yingda's face changed drastically, and he stepped out and bowed:

"The Crown Prince's Consort is extremely talented. We admit defeat in this round of competition."

The young man's face turned even paler. He lost without even being given a chance to write a poem!

If he went first, at least he would lose spectacularly.

What now?

To be defeated without a fight is a great shame and humiliation!

It was all Wu Yingda's fault. If he hadn't interrupted, I wouldn't have felt so humiliated. My eyes were filled with resentment as if they were filled with poison.

Wu Yingda naturally couldn't see his hateful look.

"I admire the Crown Princess's talent, but poetry, couplets, and arithmetic are all minor arts. Assisting the monarch and governing the court are the major arts. I have a few questions for the Crown Princess."

Wu Yingda had planned this before the competition.

It doesn’t matter whether Xiao Yunxi can win the previous competition or not, the strategy he will present in the final competition is the key!

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yunxi's victory in each round amazed the audience, and the emperor's attitude changed.

Xiao Yunxi's poetry was too destructive, and there was no time for discussion and fermentation. The most crucial competition began, and to win the crucial competition,

His little thoughts are known to everyone, and everyone thinks they make sense.

Poetry and songs are indeed not enough to make a living. Governing the country, managing the family, and pacifying the world are the true ways.

Dabao smiled cunningly.

When it comes to poetry and songs, my mother's level is abnormal, but when it comes to strategies and state governance, my mother's level is cosmic.

Wu Yingda didn't know this, he was full of confidence and gave his first question:

"The court's military service system is complex and has troubled the court for many years. May I ask if the Crown Princess has any suggestions to relieve the court and His Majesty's worries?"

He is indeed an old fox, very bad.

The imperial court's military service system was in chaos, with the coexistence of the military guards and conscription systems, which led to intensified conflicts within the army. After years of discussion, no solution was found.

The old guy actually used this topic for the competition!

Everyone can answer ordinary questions. Xiao Yunxi can answer them correctly, and so can Wu Yingda. How can we prove that Xiao Yunxi is better than Wu Yingda?

Xiao Yunxi couldn't answer the questions that Wu Yingda couldn't answer, which proved that Xiao Yunxi was nothing special.

Unless the answer is correct,

Policy discussion is not arithmetic, there is no standard answer. If someone is not satisfied, the answer is not satisfactory and Xiao Yunxi cannot be judged as the winner.

"You old thing, you're so mean!"

"I've long said that Wu is a hypocrite."

"I despise him!"

Qin Yang, Ouyang Cai and Zu Lan stopped arguing and joined forces to criticize Wu Yingda for not doing his job.

The old man said that he was doing it for the court and His Majesty, and that he was doing it for the greater good, so no one could say anything. Xiao Yunxi could only suffer the loss.

Dabao looked stunned and had a strange expression, which was just noticed by the emperor:

"None of the ministers in the court can solve this problem. As long as your mother can offer one or two suggestions, I will give her the victory."

Calculate?

One or two suggestions?

Who do you look down on?

Wu Yingda didn't check the almanac before going out. Not only his mother, but even Niuniu, who was sitting below and secretly eating a lollipop, could give an amazing answer to this question.

"The imperial court's military service system is in disarray. I suggest implementing a conscription system, promoting a military rank system, and promoting specialized warfare..."

The system of conscription is taken for granted in modern society, but in Daxia, it is heresy.

From the royal family to the common people, everyone had to join the army. What was the difference between civil servants and military men?

I'm afraid even the military families would object.

If the literati gain a foothold in the army, where will the military generals go?

"It's just ridiculous."

Wu Yingda pointed at Xiao Yunxi and scolded excitedly:

"All things are inferior, only reading is superior. For scholars like us to eat and sleep with those common people is simply a disgrace to society."

"Your Majesty...The Crown Prince's Consort is guilty of treason. Please punish her."

"Since the Crown Prince's wife humiliates a scholar like this, we will definitely be irreconcilable with you."
