Back to Datang with weapons

Chapter 236 Rumors spread!

Hearing this, the third prince of the Wu Kingdom didn't get angry, but curled his lips and said with a smile: "Since the young master is so confident, how about we have a discussion? If you can't even compare with me, then wouldn't the Tang Dynasty be more worthy than me?" Has Princess Yilan been chosen yet? Haha..."

"That's better than..."

"Wait a minute—"

The anxious Yang Zexin was interrupted by Emperor Tang before he finished speaking: "Third prince, you have traveled a long distance, and the journey must have been exhausting. Go back and rest first. Let's talk about the discussion tomorrow!"

Hearing that the Emperor Tang had issued an order to expel the guests, the third prince of the Wu Kingdom no longer persisted, bowed to the Emperor Tang with a smile, and then withdrew.

Before leaving, the third prince of Wu Guo did not forget to squint at Yang Zexin, which contained contempt and contempt, which made people crazy!

After the third prince of Wu Kingdom left, and only Tang Emperor, Zhang Twelve and four other people were left in the hall, Tang Emperor looked a little tired, and said in a deep voice, "You guys should go back too..."

Yang Zexin hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the third prince of the Wu Kingdom is so arrogant that he doesn't pay attention to our Tang Dynasty at all. Why did His Majesty prevent the minister from competing with him? You should let the minister teach him a lesson!"

"Can you guarantee that you will win him?"

Emperor Tang said leisurely.

"I... Your Majesty, I have been immersed in poetry and books for many years, and I think that I have a good poetic talent, and I will not be afraid of the rude third prince of Wu!"

"Don't be afraid...is it enough? The poems written by the third prince of Wu State when he came to Jingzhou three years ago were already extraordinary, and in the past three years, his skills have become more refined, and he has defeated many poets in Wu State. With the title of "Wu Guoshi Sage", such a person, is not afraid of... Is it enough?"

Because what the third prince just said is very clear, since it is said that only those who are talented in culture and martial arts are worthy of Princess Yilan, if he loses, doesn't it mean that there is no one in Tang Dynasty, and Princess Yilan should marry him? ?
So Emperor Tang couldn't gamble, at least he couldn't gamble so casually, he had to think long-term before making a decision.

The four were sent out of the palace, depressed.

Yang Zexin didn't dare to answer Emperor Tang's sentence, "It's all right if you don't be afraid."

After he came out of the palace, he figured it out, the third prince was setting him up!If Emperor Tang didn't stop him and he rashly agreed, it would be fine if he won, but what if he lost?
Thinking of this, he was in a cold sweat.

The four of them were all aggrieved, and had no interest in talking, so they came out of the palace and went back directly in a carriage.

Inside the Golden Luan Hall, Emperor Tang said weakly: "Wu De, go to Xuan Mo Guogong, Zhang Guogong, Prime Minister Yang, Taishi Mu and Taifu Bai to enter the palace to discuss matters!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

…………

Seeing the grandson enter the palace happily and come back dejected, all the elders must have asked what happened in the palace - of course, except Bai Jianfu Bai Taifu who has no descendants...
So by the time Wu De announced his decree to enter the palace, several veteran ministers had roughly guessed what was going on.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Tang looked at the five old men and said slowly, "My dearest relatives, what's your opinion?"

Grand Master Mu stood up first, and said: "Your Majesty, before the old minister entered the palace, I heard people discussing this matter on the street..."

"what?"

Emperor Tang shouted out in surprise, this matter was not just finished in the palace, why would the common people know?
"Your Majesty, there are rumors that the third prince of Wu Guo came to Datang to find someone to compete in civil and martial arts. If he wins both games, the Tang Emperor will marry Princess Yilan with him. If he loses one game, the third prince of Wu Guo will leave Datang voluntarily and never treat Yilan again." Princess Lan wants to do what he wants! But she is afraid that she will not accept the challenge of Wu Guo in Datang!"

"It's unreasonable! It's a bunch of nonsense!!"

After listening to Bai Jianfu's supplementary words, the Emperor Tang immediately burst into a rage, furious: When did he promise them?

"Your Majesty, calm down! The dragon's body is the most important thing! According to the old minister, the rumor must be a trick of the people of Wu! Their purpose of doing this is to let the people of Jingzhou know that Wu is going to compete with Datang. If not, it will hit the morale of the people of Tang Dynasty, and confirm the fact that Tang Dynasty is afraid of Wu! So this competition, Tang Dynasty has to accept!"

Emperor Tang has already heard that this group of Wu people is forcing them, forcing them to fight!

However, if it is a competition, can they win?
"My dear friends, if Datang were to fight, who should I send to the field? Is there a chance of winning?"

There was another silence in the imperial study room, and no one spoke first.

These five old men are of high position and weight, and they are all old foxes who have been officials for many years. They can see the things here very thoroughly.

The third prince of Wu Guo dared to act with such fanfare, he definitely has his capital and arrogance, this competition is probably a sure thing for him, how can they just push people into this pit of fire?

Seeing that no one answered, Emperor Tang got a little annoyed, and called out his names directly: "Mr. Mo, don't you usually talk the most? Why don't you say anything today?"

"........."

Mo Guogong used to be just a stalker, and he didn't need to be too brainy when talking, but how could he, a general, do this kind of brain work?

Glancing at Bai Jianfu and Yang Feng, he felt very contemptuous in his heart. Isn't that what their civil servants are supposed to do?
Suddenly his eyes rolled, Mo Guogong thought of a good idea, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the old minister has an idea, I don't know whether to say it or not..."

Emperor Tang glared at him dissatisfied: "If you have an idea, just say it! When did you become such a mother-in-law!"

Duke Mo scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a "hehe" smile, "Your Majesty, the old minister is a warrior, and he doesn't know much about Wendou. But the old minister has heard that Yang Zexin, the grandson of Prime Minister Yang, is a good poet. Come on." Prime Minister Yang’s true biography, his poems are as good as everyone else’s, and he has the reputation of being the number one genius in the Tang Dynasty. This matter of literary struggle..."

Although he didn't finish his sentence, the meaning couldn't be more obvious: The third prince of the Wu Kingdom wants to compete in literature, so let the number one talented man of the Tang Dynasty come up!

Wu Guoshisheng is evenly matched against the number one talented scholar in the Tang Dynasty!

After Mo Guogong finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Guogong, his eyes were full of complacency.

"Your Majesty, no!"

Yang Feng stood up and said.

"Prime Minister Yang, why not?"

"Your Majesty, the talent of the three princes of the Wu Kingdom is not only well-known in the Wu Kingdom, but also famous in other countries. The merit of this poem has already surpassed that of everyone in the countries. The grandson of the family is still young. I am afraid it will be an embarrassing task!"

Yang Feng quickly said, it's not that he really doesn't want his grandson to fight, it's just that the chance of winning is slim!

"Then tell me what I should do!"

This is not a question, Emperor Tang's face is already very ugly, and the imperial study room is even quieter...
