The morning game ended. An elderly royal family guessed the answer correctly but wrote the wrong word. They were so angry that they fainted from high blood pressure and left the competition halfway.

In the end, ninety people were shortlisted for the afternoon competition.

The morning match is called the preliminary round, and the afternoon match is called the rematch. The shooting and overturning competitions are different. The group knockout round is used, and the competition is divided into nine groups, with one person qualifying for each group.

The last ten people played the final.

Compared to the morning, this method is more cruel and nervous.

Ninety members of the royal family did not leave Wensilou, and sat upright one by one, quietly waiting for the afternoon competition to come, and there was a meal to be provided at noon, but everyone refused without exception.

As Li Yuchun said: Starving to death is small, but losing one's fortune is big.

If any link is recorded by etiquette eunuchs, it will be troublesome.

In fact, since ancient times, the royal family rules have been very strict, but they are not so careful.

This is the remaining power left by Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian held a palace event. Any child of the Li Tang royal family who exceeded the rules would be severely punished. They would either drag them down to the court or shut up in a small dark room and go hungry.

Over the past few decades, the royal family members have developed a deep fear of this kind of palace activities.

Wu Zetian had been dead for thirty years, but the remaining power she left behind still made the children of the Tang Dynasty's royal family tremble and did not dare to step further.

Li Xiu was not affected by this kind of residual power, and his health was important. He asked the palace maids in the morning to get him a meal and added some roasted chicken legs. He ate it with relish, so he could only get a can of beer.

The eunuch immediately recorded the etiquette, 'The emperor's thirty-eight sons chewed and ate it soundly.'

When the royal family heard that he was eating unscrupulously, their stomachs were so hungry that they were filled with anger, hatred and angry.

A clan's family could no longer help, stood up suddenly, clenched his fists and glared at Li Xiu.

Li Xiu burped and waved to him, "I know you're hungry, there's still a chicken leg left here, so you're welcome."

The clan's clan was so angry that he was about to explode. He shook his head desperately. Li Xiu smiled and pointed to the two etiquette eunuchs behind him.

The eunuch ruthlessly recorded the violation of the royal family's family: ruthless and impulsive.

The clan's family wanted to cry, but he had no choice but to swallow his anger back into his stomach and sit down dejectedly.

Li Xiu disagreed and nipped the last chicken leg, wiped his mouth with a veil, pointed to the plate and said to the palace maid: "Put it away, pour me a cup of hot tea, it's hotter!"

All the children of the royal family looked at the roof speechlessly and prayed silently, "God, let's kill this bastard!"

…………

"Do!" With a bell, the emperor and the regent were already in their own position, and their sons and concubines were each sitting beside them.

Not every clan's son must participate. Wang Jue or above does not participate in the competition, that is, the sons of the two saints, of course, except Li Xiu.

He, the demoted prince, became the lowest-ranking person in the direct royal family.

"Please draw lots and group them!"

Li Xiu draws the third group, and their group will be the third to appear.

Everyone stood in front of the railing and watched the competition on the Wangsen platform, as if they no longer used incense to time, but completed the answers in one drum.

"Twenty drum sounds!"

A clan of the royal family exclaimed, everyone was in a heavy mood, with almost no thoughts, and it was too late to write a little slower.

Li Xiu was too lazy to join in the fun with them. He sat behind casually, but he was calculating in his mind that it was three minutes in the morning, but now it was changed to twenty seconds. It took about six seconds to write at the fastest time to pick up the pen and write, and only fourteen seconds to think. If you want to get into the state immediately, you will be eliminated if you are slower.

"The third group came on the field!"

The eunuch shouted loudly, and it was finally their turn.

Nine people sat at the table, holding the pen in their hands, focusing all their attention, beyond Li Xiu's expectations, and the person sitting next to him was Li Cui.

Li Cui looked at Li Xiu proudly, and he was about to laugh out loud. God made a coincidence! How refreshing it is to eliminate Li Xiu from his nose!

Their host is Li Huang, Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple, and the referee is Niu Xianke.

The questions were all drawn in a short time, so I didn’t have time to put the paper with the answers under the pottery basin.

"Everyone listened, there was a dragon in the mud, a puff above the head, and a piece of body, all with small holes. Shooting something, and starting!"

‘Dong!Dong!Dong……’

With the dense drum sound, everyone quickly wrote their own answers. Li Xiu calculated the time accurately and thought for a while before he could write the answer: "Lotus!"

The drums stopped, and Niu Xianke shouted: "Stop writing!"

Four people were eliminated and left, with only six people left.

Some of the four people who were eliminated had been thinking for too long and had no time to write, some were getting into the state too slowly and didn't adapt to the rhythm, and the other two wrote an extra word "Lotus".

Lotus roots are two kinds of things, lotus and lotus roots, but the answer is only one thing, lotus roots.

Li Huang draws out another lottery. This time he draws the title of the poem, Li Xiu's eyelids twitch. The title of the poem is his weak link, and he has never read a single book of the Four Books and Five Classics.

Li Huang had no time to make him nervous, and he whispered loudly: "You guys listen well, read well, and squirt about the Analects of Confucius."

The dense drum sounds sounded, dong! dong! dong……

At this time, I have never memorized the Four Books and Five Classics. The search area of ​​the books in my belly will not be too large. Li Xiu was inspired and wrote with a pen, "I never get tired of learning!"

Niu Xianke curled his lips, "This kid's handwriting is so bad!"

What's the use of writing well? Four people were eliminated.

In the end, only Li Xiu and Li Cui were left.

Li Xiu suddenly understood that the question was just a random draw on the surface, but in fact it was prepared in advance. Li Cui knew all the answers to the titles of the twenty poems, and probably including the answers to the final round, and he also knew.

Li Huang smiled slightly, "It depends on who you two can win. There is another possibility, that is, both of you are eliminated and cannot answer my question."

Li Huang indeed drew another poem title.

Li Xiu glanced at Li Cui, and saw that he was confident, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Li Huang cleared his throat, "This question is difficult. You two can listen well, die less than a feather, and shoot a sentence in "Records of the Grand Historian."

Li Xiu almost fell to his head, which made him cry without tears. It was actually "Records of the Grand Historian".

‘Dong!Dong!Dong……’

The drum sound ignored him, and Li Cui had already started to pick up his pen and write the answer.

Li Xiu is going to despair. Should she be eliminated by this bastard?

Wait! I seem to have heard of this question. Li Xiu focused his mind and picked up his pen and wrote: "I'll laugh for the world!"

As soon as the drums stopped, he threw away the pen.

Niu Xianke glanced at Li Xiu's answer. These words were still written like ghost painting talismans, but no matter how badly they were written, the recognition was still very clear.

Niu Xianke looked reluctant, but could not deny it, so he had to forcefully nod, "I've answered correctly!"

Li Cui looked shocked. He knew the answer in advance, so of course he could write it easily.

He thought he would win such a difficult question, but he didn't expect that Li Xiu also wrote the answer at the last moment.

Both of them answered correctly, which means they had to compete again.

The other groups have ended, and only the third group is left with two people continuing to compete for the only qualifying place.

At this time, Zhang Jiuling and Li Yan came over, "We will draw the questions to arbitrate this question!"

If a two-person duel occurs, the presidency of the Zongzheng Temple Master and the Right Prime Minister must be presided over.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Xiu and Li Cui, and the showdown between the two even attracted the attention of Li Longji and Li Chengqi.

Li Longji had no expression on his face, and no one could tell what he was thinking.

In the opposite building, Li Chengqi narrowed his eyes and looked for a while and asked, "Who is the one who competes with Lao Jiu?"

Niu Xiantong hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Master, that person is the deposed Thirty-eight Lang!"

"Oh! It turned out to be him."

Li Chengqi frowned, "I remember he was deposed as a commoner, how could he still participate in the competition?"

"Before, because he was not at least eighteen years old, Zongzheng Temple was not deregistered. But now he is already eighteen years old. According to Li Zongzheng Temple, it should be deregistered, but for some reason, Zongzheng Temple dragged it down."

"There is something like this!"

Li Chengqi's eyes turned a few times, "If he wins, can he not admit it?"

"The Lord said it is right!"

"Forget it, let him participate! Shooting is just entertainment, so don't let everyone get excited."

"The Lord, I think I should follow the rules strictly..."

Before Niu Xiantong could speak, Li Chengqi waved his hand impatiently, "You don't consider the big things in the palace, what are you calculating about with a child?"

Niu Xiantong sighed secretly, and the opportunity to drive Li Xiu out of the palace just saw it, but it passed away in a flash.

………….

Li Yan started to draw questions. According to regulations, he could not draw one type three times in a row. Li Huang had already drawn the poem title twice before, so this time Li Yan could not draw the poem title again.

Li Yan drew a word question and gave the answer to Zhang Jiuling.

Li Yan whispered loudly: "This time I'm performing guessing words!"

An official who looked like this came over, held a small wooden door on his head, and stood facing north.

Shoot one word.
Chapter completed!
