After hearing what the two of them said, Zhou Qian's face did not show the slightest hint of happiness, and he even restrained his smile just now.
"A disciple of Prince Jin's Mansion..."
Zhou Qian gave a long and meaningful sound.
The two of them didn't know whether they were happy or disgusted, and quickly said according to what they had been taught before: "Your Majesty, we joined the Jin Prince's family because we didn't recognize our talents, but we have always cherished the country's enthusiasm, no matter who our disciples are, We will all be duty-bound to fight for our country!”
"Yes, Your Majesty, our remarks only represent us personally and do not represent the Jin Palace."
For them, the reason why they were brought out of the Jin Palace was because they knew that people were talking lightly and wanted to increase His Majesty's attention.
After His Majesty really pays attention, they are also worried that their words will offend His Majesty and make Him dissatisfied, so they have to take responsibility for this responsibility themselves.
Prince Jin has secretly helped them to win the competition, so it won't hurt to act more confident.
I remember how arrogant Ning Wuyan was when he competed with many students, and he is still talked about by people today.
Ning Wuhao can be wild as a teenager, why can't they?
Zhou Qian watched the two of them begin to clear up their relationship with Prince Jin's Mansion again, not knowing what they were thinking.
Let's not talk about whether these two people have real talents or not. Just by looking at the two people talking and doing things, and they like to pull tiger skins, I know in my heart that these two people are not worthy of reuse.
only.
Before Zhou Gan could teach them a few words of humility, someone in the crowd shouted loudly.
"Emperor Daxing, since your talents said that you don't need to prepare for too long, why not start the competition right away?"
"We, the envoys from the countries in the Western Region, are here specifically for the competition. They have been waiting here for many days for you to recruit talents from all walks of life. Food, clothing, housing, transportation, and every move costs money, and we can't afford to wait any longer."
"Who doesn't know that Daxing country has a vast territory. If we wait for all the talents from all over the country to come, we will probably have to wait until next year. After we finish the competition, we still want to go back to our hometown to celebrate the New Year. Is it possible that everything in this competition must be satisfactory to the Daxing talents? Ignoring the mood of us guests, how about your great hospitality?"
The talented people from the Western Regions cheered together, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.
If it weren't for the emperor's presence, Daxing's talents would probably have to choose a topic at this time and compete with them before the formal competition, so as to dampen the energy of these barbarians!
And these people from the Western Regions dared to question Daxing's hospitality in front of Emperor Daxing, which made Zhou Qian's expression become particularly serious.
As early as when the two disciples said that there was no need to prepare for the limelight, he was worried that people from the Western Regions would climb up the pole.
At this time, his worries came true, Zhou Qian allowed the matter to ferment, but had no intention of stopping it.
Because he also knew in his heart that the date of the competition must be determined as soon as possible, otherwise the night would be long and full of dreams.
He specially sent Qin Shi to guard Ning Wuhuang, and issued an imperial edict and oral edict, allowing Ning Wuhuang and the envoys from the Western Regions to participate in the competition to arrive in the capital.
It’s for this moment.
Jiangnan Road is rich in talented people, and a large number of them have arrived in the capital with Ning Wuchang.
As for the original talents in the capital, many of them arrived early because of the big exam next year, and were waiting among the powerful to be recommended after the exam.
In this case, as long as there is a backbone that can subdue everyone, it is not difficult to win the mission composed of the countries in the Western Region.
Zhou Qian looked at Ning Wuyan, who had been silent.
According to rumors, Ning Wuhuang doesn't have a very good temper. When encountering such a situation, he should take the lead and rush to the front.
At present, it seems that the rumors are still different from reality.
Although this Jinling Shixian is young, he is a steady person.
Since Ning Wuyan was unwilling to take the initiative to speak, he could only ask first: "Ning Shixian, what do you think is the chance of winning if you participate in the competition at this time?"
"Fifty-fifty?"
Ning Wuyang's uncertain tone did not dissatisfy Zhou Qian, but made him admire him with admiration.
Humility is an essential quality for a person's growth.
Zhou Qian knew that Ning Wuhuang was a genius, but he was also worried that he would suddenly run out of inspiration during the competition and thus fail miserably.
At this time, seeing that Ning Wuyan could still maintain restraint and calm judgment in this situation, he gave the boy an even higher look.
On the contrary, it was the two retainers who were eager to show off just now.
They were originally arrogant and dissatisfied with the so-called Jinling Poetry Immortal, and they were valued by the King of Jin. They knew that after the competition, they would be able to soar to the sky with their performance in the competition, so they sneered at Ning Wuhuang's statement on the spot. .
"I remember that Jinling Shixian used to compete with others in poetry and composition, and he always acted like he was sure of winning. Why are you so timid in front of foreigners today?"
"Is it possible that you, the Jinling Poet Immortal, are only so brave when you compete with your own people, but are afraid of foreigners when you compete with them?"
No matter which one of these two shit basins, timidity and nesting, both have a bad reputation and are disgusting.
Originally, Ning Wuyan had no hostility towards the two retainers of Prince Jin's palace who wanted to make a splash.
In addition, he still didn't know the purpose of King Jin sending Zhang Zhida to test him, so he still planned to give a little favor to the retainers of King Jin's palace, so as not to deepen the internal conflicts at a time when we should be fighting against foreign enemies together.
But since the two disciples took the initiative to attack, he chose to tell the truth when he saw it.
"Even I can't guarantee that I can defeat so many talented people from the Western Regions who have been preparing for many years without preparation. These two brothers are invincible with open mouths and no preparations, which makes me doubt that they Did he leak the content of the competition privately in advance and prepare it ahead of us, so there is no need to start preparing from now on."
This is a bit convoluted.
But if you think about it a little, you will understand the meaning.
Zhou Qian's face immediately darkened, and he seriously suspected that these two disciples of the Jin Palace did not want to help Daxing win the victory.
Instead, they deliberately let the people from the Western Regions find a reason to advance the date of the test, causing Daxing to lose the home field advantage.
The two disciples who had been plotted by Prince Jin's Mansion without knowing it had not yet come to their senses, but when faced with Ning Wuyan's words, they still showed a guilty conscience.
However, the more guilty some people feel, the louder they shout and the more violent their reactions become.
"Ning Shixian, don't make yourself bloody and spit on others!"
"We don't need to prepare because...because there is a gap in our hearts, and the words are ready to speak. The Daxing talents here are all famous. Who can't write a few poems, don't you think?"
"Ning Shixian needs to prepare to become the Jinling Poet Immortal. We don't need to prepare. If we beat the talents from the Western Regions in the competition, then we will also be Poet Immortals, or even more powerful Poet Immortals than the Jinling Shixian. This poem is worthy of you, but it doesn’t say that others can’t deserve it. If you can’t do it, you can’t prove that others can’t do it. Is that right?”
Talented people from all walks of life who can get the support of the government will finally gain the reputation of being a scholar.
Wen Wu was first and Wu Wu was second. In the eyes of the talented men who had never seen Ning Wuchang's power with their own eyes, they could indeed compete for the title of Jinling Poet Immortal.
No one obeys anyone who is young and famous, especially in the presence of the emperor. As long as they show a certain talent, they may rise to the top.
Being so excited by the two disciples, coupled with the previous excitement from the people from the Western Regions.
Immediately, many talented people who were hot-headed and believed in their talents came forward.
"Your Majesty, I have studied hard for ten years and am always ready to take the exam. There is no need to sharpen my skills in battle. I propose that the exam be held this month!"
"Like Brother Li, I don't need to prepare. I believe that as long as we go all out, we will be able to win every battle!"
