Dong Songchen grabbed the hem of his clothes and ran down the steps with small steps. He came to Zhao Mengqi and patted his shoulder, "Your Highness! Your Highness!"
Zhao Mengqi paused and reached out to grab Dong Songchen's wrist like lightning.
"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts..." Dong Songchen bared his teeth and shouted in shock, "Your Highness, let go, Your Highness..."
Zhao Mengqi then opened his sleepy eyes and said, "You deserve to disturb someone's dream!" Then he let go of his hand.
This time, the officials made even more noise.
"This eunuch is really good at mischief. Can Prince Zhong's small body hurt him?"
"It's not impossible. After all, you've lost so many ounces of meat, so it's normal for you to be a little weak."
"Why are you paying attention to the one without eggs? Everyone, don't you think that King Zhong is openly dozing off at this time, which seems to be contempt for Chao Gang."
Ding Daquan is the imperial censor in the palace. His most important job is to correct the misconduct in the palace. Naturally, he will not miss this opportunity. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am impeaching the loyal king. I fell asleep in the palace." , being disrespectful and disrespectful is really a crime of great disrespect."
Damn it, it would be disrespectful for me to take a nap! ?
Zhao Mengqi was extremely speechless. This disrespect was one of the ten heinous crimes.
Well, strictly speaking, Zhao Mengqi's behavior is indeed disrespectful. "Hanshu·Shentu Jia Zhuan" records, "Deng Tong, a minor minister in the theater, who is disrespectful should be beheaded." '
Of course, whether he can be convicted or not depends on the emperor's attitude.
At this time, Yang Dong said in time, "Your Majesty, I think that Ding Dianshi is making a fuss. King Zhong has been weak and sick since he was a child. The competition just now took a lot of energy. King Zhong also felt sleepy unconsciously due to fatigue." It’s normal, there are extenuating circumstances, just reprimand.”
Zhao Guanjia had a straight face and nodded solemnly, "Shilang Yang's words are reasonable. There is no need to criticize Palace Shir Ding harshly." He let it go gently.
Ding Daquan expected that the impeachment was dismissed, so he was not upset and stood back as if nothing happened.
Ma Guangzu called again, "His Royal Highness, it's your turn to throw the pot."
"Oh, just come..."
Zhao Mengqi shuffled to the long case and stared blankly at the arrows on the case. He didn't move for a long time and looked like he was still awake.
"Ahem, Your Highness..." Ma Guangzu had to remind him.
"Oh..." Zhao Mengqi woke up from a dream and immediately grabbed the arrows. Note that they were all arrows and weighed them in his hands.
All the officials were baffled by his behavior.
"What is Prince Zhong doing?"
"Didn't you see him try throwing just now? He doesn't know how to throw at all."
"Is he planning to vote out all at once?"
"It's very possible that you won't be able to make a shot anyway, so you can just throw it out at once and let the goddess scatter flowers. Maybe you can win one and a half."
"Ah, can it still be like this? It seems that Prince Zhong is a little clever."
"Hey, so don't call me Silly King anymore..."
"Hush, brother, be careful, this is the main hall."
"Hey, look, look, King Zhong is really going to leave..."
Everyone looked quickly and saw Zhao Mengqi holding an arrow, raising it above his head, and then stood still for a moment.
"This posture is completely like a stick..."
Just as someone complained, Zhao Mengqi waved his hand gently, and eight arrows flew out of the sky.
The officials had already begun to brew their emotions, waiting for the arrow to land, and then laughed heartily. There were not many opportunities to be so happy in the hall.
Under the spotlight, the eight arrows unexpectedly did not scatter. Instead, they stayed close to each other, as if they were one body, drawing thick and perfect arcs in the air.
"Danglanglang..."
The copper pot swayed and even started to spin, but the arrow tail above the mouth of the bottle was extremely dazzling!
Hong Tianxi, the censor in charge of shooting, stepped forward to take a closer look, and then announced with a shocked look on his face, "Quan Hu!"
"Full pot!"
These two words lingered in the hall, because everyone was silent and their eyes were dull.
Zhao Mengqi dusted off the non-existent dust on his body and said lazily, "It's really no challenge."
"Hahaha, okay! Okay! Okay! This is the most exciting thing today!"
It was Zhao Guan's family who was the first to come to his senses and high-five him, his face clearly saying, look, my son is amazing!
The officials were called back to their senses and still couldn't believe it.
"Tell me, it's my eyesight..."
"How is this possible? What a ghost!"
"This is not scientific... Bah, what is science? Am I possessed?"
"Mother Xipi, I thought it was a goddess scattering flowers, but I didn't expect that it was a rainbow shining through the sun!"
"How did he do it? Those arrows seemed to be tied together..."
The ministers were discussing endlessly, and the psychology of the four candidates became even more complicated. The originally determined rankings changed drastically at the last moment, and everyone was forced to drop one.
Yes, even Zhao Mengxi thought that he was inferior to Zhao Mengqi's amazing operation. In fact, for a moment just now, he had the urge to compete again, but after careful evaluation, he could not do that skill anyway, so he had to be convinced.
Zhao Mengqi and Zhao Heyun were not happy. Originally, they completely ignored Zhao Mengqi and only regarded the other three as their opponents. Now they realized that they seemed to have made a mistake.
The most uncomfortable one was of course Zhao Mengguan. He estimated that when the voting was over, his results would be equal to those of Zhao Mengqi, and all the advantages he had saved before would be lost.
It didn't take long for this round of voting to be tallied.
Zhao Mengqi, 18 votes, first.
Zhao Mengxi, eighteen votes, tied to one.
Zhao Heyun, 17 votes, third.
Zhao Mengguan, fourth with thirteen votes.
Zhao Mengqi, one vote, fifth.
It can be seen from this result that most of the officials still have no good impression of Zhao Mengqi, and they will try their best to divert their votes to others.
However, a good risk still allowed Zhao Mengqi to retain the first place. Even if he was tied with Zhao Mengxi, it didn't matter.
Totaling the results of the first four rounds again, Zhao Mengguan was nine, Zhao Mengqi was nine, Zhao Menghao was 12, Zhao Heyun was 12, and Zhao Mengxi was 16.
A round of shooting skills actually narrowed the gap between the five people. The remaining two skills have become the key. If they can be mastered well, even Zhao Mengxi, who is in last place, has the possibility of catching up from behind.
Under their tension and expectation, Yang Dong stood up as the question maker.
He has said before that he came up with the questions for 'Le' and 'Shu', and the 'Shu' test has been completed, so now only 'Le' is left.
"The sage asks for courtesy from Lao Dan, learns music from Chang Hong, and learns piano from Shi Xiang. Music is necessary for a gentleman to cultivate his moral character. The next test is exactly 'music'."
The five candidates thought quickly in their minds, how to test this 'le'?
