On Dakun's side, except for the emperor, Concubine Xi, and his father Li Xiao, there was no one who did not bow to him.
Li Xiao couldn't help but feel very happy when he saw this scene. With his son's current achievements, he couldn't be more excited as a father.
If he kills the enemy and performs meritorious service on the battlefield, that's all. At best, he is passing on his seed.
But this is a literary fight. Li Baiyi can subdue the literati of the two countries. At the national level, it is considered to be an expansion of territory!
Concubine Xi and Wang Xuanfeng looked at each other, couldn't help but smile, and then stood up one after another.
Li Xiao on the side was stunned for a moment. Seeing that the two of them seemed to want to salute and bow, he quickly stopped in front of them and laughed dryly.
"Your Majesty, Concubine, you two don't have to go with them. Quanzi can't bear it."
When Li Baiyi saw this, he almost turned to stone. What happened to the emperor and the imperial concubine? Why did they get involved in this matter?
Wang Xuanfeng gently pushed Li Xiao away, smiled at him, then looked at Li Baiyi and said.
"I don't listen to your father. I want you to tell me, do you want to accept my worship?"
When Li Baiyi heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Li Xiao on the side quickly blinked at him. Li Baiyi came back to his senses immediately, knelt down with a plop, shook his head and smiled.
"Your Majesty is joking with me. How dare I ask your Majesty to salute me?"
"In the final analysis, my ambition in studying is to help me, Dakun, rise. Of course, it is also to serve His Majesty. All of this is done for Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty accepts the results of your attention and hard work as a matter of course."
"After all, I still want to thank Your Majesty. If Your Majesty hadn't brought me the peaceful and stable environment I have now, I wouldn't have had the conditions to be a dandy young prince. Don't you think so?"
Hearing this, Wang Xuanfeng felt very relieved. He didn't expect that this kid could flatter him so smoothly.
Wang Xuanfeng laughed and said: "Okay, you kid, get up. The reason why these literati are saluting you is because you have made a huge contribution to the literary world."
"As for me, even if I bow to you, it doesn't matter. I still have the courage to do so. But since you are so scared, I won't bow. I will treat it as if I have bowed."
When Li Baiyi heard this, he jumped up from the ground and regained his strength instantly.
"Your Majesty, that's what happened. I thought I had done something wrong and Your Majesty wanted to kill me."
Concubine Xi smiled slightly, shook her head and said: "Of course that's not the case. Not only are you right, but you have also made great achievements. How could His Majesty be willing to kill you? It's too late to reuse you."
Li Baiyi's face was filled with joy, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw Song Wen, Huo Tian and others who had straightened up.
"Hey, hey, hey, you guys were praying so vigorously just now, don't get up, I haven't felt enough yet, pray a little longer, let me reflect on it."
Hearing his words, Guo Mingwen and others snorted, rolled their eyes, looked away, and pretended not to hear.
This kid wants them to worship again, but there is no way!
They bowed to him just now because the situation was stronger than the people. What's more, they would find this place again sooner or later.
When Li Baiyi saw this, he couldn't help but pursed his lips. These guys really held grudges and were not willing to pay more tributes.
Li Baiyi couldn't help but look at the talented men of Beiyuan, but found that they were all looking aside, pretending that nothing had happened just now.
These people have all come to their senses. It’s okay to just follow the crowd and worship, but if you want them to do it again seriously, there’s no way!
Li Baiyi's eyes turned around in the crowd, and finally, his eyes lit up and he locked onto some familiar people.
Tang En, this old boy was clamoring very happily in the court, wanting his father to be removed from the position of Duke of the State. He even killed his youngest son to slander himself.
After being exposed, he let himself go out to meet the Beiyuan delegation and take over the hot potato of Wen Dou.
There are also Song Guang, Huo Bai and others, these dog officials, didn't they say that they were filled with indignation in the court, and they stopped barking now?
"Your Majesty, I have a small request. I don't know if Your Majesty will agree to it. Of course, if Your Majesty doesn't agree, it will be treated as if I didn't say it. I will never dare to force Your Majesty to do anything."
When Wang Xuanfeng heard this, he raised his hand and said with a smile: "Just tell me, as long as it doesn't go too far, I will promise you anything."
When Tang En and others heard this, they immediately felt bad. Li Baiyi's eyes stayed on them for a while. Could it be that this boy had ill intentions towards them?
Thinking of what they did in the Jinluan Palace that day, they suddenly had a bad feeling.
Li Baiyi smiled slightly, pointed at Tang En and others, and said to Wang Xuanfeng: "Your Majesty, I want these guys to fulfill their promise at the Jinluan Palace that day, bow to me, and call me godfather three times."
"Whenever I meet Xiaochen and Xiaochen's father in the future, they must give way, otherwise it will be regarded as disrespecting their father, brother and teacher."
"They forced the ministers to come out to fight against the Beiyuan delegation in the Jinluan Palace that day, disregarding the national interests of Dakun for their own selfish interests."
"If I hadn't had some skills today, I'm afraid not only I would have suffered, but our Dakun literary world and even the entire country would have been humiliated because of this."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xuanfeng couldn't help but think of what happened in the Jinluan Palace that day. He looked at Tang En and others with a slightly ugly look on his face.
When Tang En saw this, he immediately stood up, pointed at Li Baiyi and said: "You kid, don't slander others. The reason why we let you out that day was because we saw that you really have literary talent and are a genius, not because of any personal grudges." .”
"What's more, you took the task of Wen Dou on your own initiative that day. His Majesty only agreed to your request. How can you blame me for this? It's really unreasonable."
"Your Majesty, although this boy has great literary talents, his behavior is too much. He is simply arrogant. Please punish him for his arrogance."
Li Baiyi sneered and said, "Am I arrogant? So what if I am arrogant? Is this a sin?"
"And you, as officials of Dakun, pretend to be public servants for personal gain, and ignore Dakun's interests for the sake of your own personal grudges. This is a serious crime!"
"As for me going too far, this is even more of a joke. How did you get His Majesty to send me to preside over the literary fight that day in the Jinluan Palace?"
"If I lose the literary fight this time, or make a fool of myself in the literary fight, where will you put me?"
"I'm afraid that not only will I be convicted and killed for this, but also my father and the Duke of Zhen will be implicated for this, and my entire Li family will be ruined because of this, right?"
