I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 76 The famous scene is coming

"According to Yun Zhilan, the Third Prince is the number one person under the Grandmaster. Is he that powerful?"

Fan Xian came back to his senses and asked Xin Qiwu who was standing beside him in a low voice.

"I've only heard that the Third Prince is a ninth-rank master, but no one has ever seen the Third Prince in action. Yun Zhilan is Si Gu Jian's first disciple, so his judgment should not be wrong. It seems that the Third Prince is really powerful. He should be the number one person under the Grandmaster."

In the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, everyone except Emperor Qing had the same idea as Xin Qiwu.

As a result, the officials of Qing State were shocked but also happy at the same time.

On the other hand, the officials of Northern Qi who attended the night banquet became worried.

Originally, there were four grand masters in the world, two in Nanqing and one in Dongyi City. Although it was not stated explicitly, the grand master of their Qi State and Si Gu Jian of Dongyi City had obviously reached a tacit understanding to jointly fight against Nanqing.

Although the third prince of Nanqing is not yet a grandmaster, he is indeed too young. He is the number one under the grandmaster when he is less than 20 years old. This shows his talent in martial arts and he has a great chance of becoming the fifth grandmaster.

As a result, Nanqing now had three grand masters, and the balance that had been maintained with great difficulty was broken in an instant.

The result of three grand masters versus two grand masters is obvious. As an official of Northern Qi, how can we not be worried?

Kill the third prince of Nanqing at all costs.

This thought appeared in the minds of all Northern Qi officials, but disappeared in an instant.

There is no way. According to Yun Zhilan, unless the grand master takes action personally, no one can be a match for the third prince of Nanqing. Therefore, it is impossible to kill Li Chengzong in Nanqing.

Thinking of this, the officials of Northern Qi became even more worried.

Whether it was the happy officials of Qing or the worried officials of Northern Qi, they all talked about Li Chengzong, so that the scene became a little noisy. Emperor Qing coughed twice before the scene quieted down.

"Yun Zhilan praised you as the best person under the Grandmaster, so you don't have anything to say?"

"I'm still young. Sooner or later, the four great masters will not be my match." Li Chengzong said with a hint of meaning.

Emperor Qing understood, but Yun Zhilan didn’t.

He could understand Li Chengzong's arrogance. After all, anyone would be proud of having such strength at such a young age.

However, he disagreed with Li Chengzong's words.

"I admit that your Third Prince is indeed gifted in martial arts, but becoming a Grandmaster is by no means an easy task. Otherwise, how could there be only four Grandmasters in the world?"

Yun Zhilan shook his head and said, "Third Prince underestimates the Grandmaster. Although I think Third Prince is the best person under Grandmaster, if Grandmaster wants to kill Third Prince, it would be easy."

Li Chengzong said calmly, "Then ask your master Si Gu Jian to come and kill me."

Yun Zhilan: "..."

Not to mention that the great master Hong Sixiang would stop his master, it is impossible for his master Si Gu Jian to lower his status and take action against a junior like Li Chengzong.

Even a grandmaster needs to have some dignity!

Knowing that his master couldn't possibly come, he still said this. This Third Prince of Qing is so shameless!
Yun Zhilan didn't want to deal with such a shameless person. He clasped his fists towards Emperor Qing and sat back in his seat.

Emperor Qing did not talk about the matter anymore, but instead praised Fan Xian, saying that Fan Xian had done a good job in the negotiations, and asked Fan Xian to drink a glass of wine with him. Just as Fan Xian was about to go back and sit down, the second brother stood up.

After praising Fan Xian for a while, he finally proposed that Fan Xian be the host of the next spring examination. Emperor Qing declined the proposal on the grounds that Fan Xian was still inexperienced. However, the Crown Prince followed suit and praised Fan Xian's talent. He rarely agreed to the second brother's proposal and seconded the proposal to let Fan Xian be the host of the spring examination. He also used Li Chengzong as an example to persuade Emperor Qing.

I have to say that this example is well given. Li Chengzong, who presided over the Spring Examination, was younger than Fan Xian is now, and had never participated in court affairs. So Fan Xian, who had already participated in a negotiation between the two countries, naturally could not be said to be inexperienced.

Emperor Qing had other arrangements for Fan Xian and was not in a hurry about the Spring Examination, so he just dealt with it casually.

At this moment, Zhuang Mohan suddenly opened his mouth and asked about Fan Xian, and then reminded Emperor Qing intentionally or unintentionally that the host of the Spring Examination needed to be carefully selected. His words completely showed that he did not agree with Fan Xian hosting the Spring Examination.

Seeing Zhuang Mohan's actions, Li Chengzong knew that Li Yunrui was going to attack Fan Xian. Just as Li Chengzong had expected, things were going in the direction Li Yunrui had expected, and she stopped sitting and stood up to add fuel to the fire.

She walked up to Zhuang Mohan and said with a faint smile, "Mr. Zhuang is well-versed in both ancient and modern knowledge. I have always admired him, but I cannot agree with what he said just now. Although I am a woman with limited knowledge, I have read Fan Xian's seven-character poem. This person is very young, but just from this poem, we can see that he is very talented. What Mr. Zhuang said just now was vaguely directed at Fan Xian. Are you worried that the young man will surpass you and surpass you in fame in the future?"

Zhuang Mohan, who was acting with Li Yunrui, just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

Li Yunrui turned to face the crowd and said, "Everyone here is a loyal minister and a scholar, so naturally you don't like verbal disputes. I don't know the etiquette, but I am willing to say a fair word for the talented scholar of Qing State."

"Are you talking about that seven-character poem?" Zhuang Mohan asked.

"Serious business, may I ask, sir, what poem can be better than Fan Xian's seven-character poem?"

"Yun Rui, please don't be rude in front of the palace."

Emperor Qing was annoyed from the moment Li Yunrui stood up, and was particularly dissatisfied when he saw Li Yunrui's attitude in front of the ministers. He directly scolded him, and then smiled at Zhuang Mohan, "Mr. Zhuang is a man of many talents. You don't have to care about such words."

Zhuang Mohan nodded, slowly recited the poem about climbing a mountain, and sighed, "What a good poem. I have written poems all my life, but none of them can be compared with it."

"So, Mr. Zhuang is willing to admit defeat?" Li Yunrui said at the right time.

Zhuang Mohan turned his head slightly, without commenting, and just praised: "The first four lines of this poem are excellent."

"But everyone says that the best part of this poem is the last four lines."

“The last four lines are naturally quatrains.”

Zhuang Mohan said, sighed heavily, shook his head and sighed: "What a pity, that was not written by Mr. Fan."

When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked. Even Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, because this poem was indeed not written by him. He could not help but glance at Li Chengzong, only to find that Li Chengzong was looking at him and shook his head imperceptibly. He instantly guessed that it seemed that Zhuang Mohan and Li Yunrui wanted to frame him and ruin his reputation.

Just as Fan Xian was thinking this, Li Yunrui pretended to be surprised and asked, "Did Fan Xian plagiarize this poem?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian was certain that Li Yunrui and Zhuang Mohan were acting to frame him, so he sat down in his seat and started eating and drinking.

Emperor Qing, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, clicked his tongue, saying that he also found it strange and doubted Fan Xian's talent. He asked Fan Xian what he had to say.

Knowing that Zhuang Mohan and Li Yunrui were in collusion, Fan Xian was quite disdainful of Zhuang Mohan and made some sarcastic remarks. Then the second brother stood up to testify for Fan Xian and also pulled Guo Baokun out.

Seeing this, Zhuang Mohan pulled out his teacher and said that the four lines after Climbing the High Mountain were written by his teacher, and that his words were well-reasoned and irrefutable. Then he gave Fan Xian some advice with a look of regret, but in fact he was scolding Fan Xian for being immoral.

Li Chengzong was moved after hearing this. It turned out that scholars never use dirty words when they curse others.

Fan Xian asked about Zhuang Mohan's teacher and found out that his surname was not Du. He then said casually that it was okay and started drinking.

Li Yunrui and Zhuang Mohan worked together to make everyone in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests begin to doubt Fan Xian. On the one hand, Zhuang Mohan was too famous to frame Fan Xian. On the other hand, Fan Xian was too young to write such heavy poems as the one about climbing a high mountain.

As Zhuang Mohan showed his forged manuscript, everyone's suspicion of Fan Xian reached its peak, and the entire Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests became noisy again.

Of course, we are not fools. I think everyone in the entire Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests can see that today's incident is clearly aimed at Fan Xian...well, except for the idiot Guo Baokun.

Others are pretending to be confused, but Guo Baokun is truly confused.

So, when Guo Baokun stood up and took the opportunity to retaliate against Fan Xian, Guo Youzhi couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Chengzong looked at Guo Baokun kneeling on the ground and couldn't help but smile. Then his eyes swept over Fan Xian who was drinking leisurely. He knew that the most classic scene in Joy of Life was about to come.

For the culture of this world, the poems spoken by Fan Xian are simply a dimensionality reduction attack.
