Chapter 1198 Appreciation from the Emperor

The word "书" in Qinqi calligraphy and painting refers to calligraphy.

As the saying goes, seeing words is like seeing people. In Kyushu, if you can't write good calligraphy, you will be laughed at.

If you want to practice good calligraphy, you need time and perseverance. It would be too easy to simply compete in calligraphy. After all, none of the princes can write good calligraphy.

How to make "good words" even better and last forever, naturally requires a good article to set it off.

Therefore, the book battle means that the King of Qi sets a topic, and the princes and princesses have to write a beautiful article based on this topic.

Whoever writes good articles will naturally be ranked first.

"You are all princes and princesses. Even if you do not ascend to the throne in the future, you are still important figures standing at the top of a country. Some of your ideas also represent the direction of the country's future. So this time my topic is, what should you do?

What kind of country should we build?"

As soon as King Qi said this, many people frowned.

This can be regarded as a governing philosophy!

This is a question that only famous ministers and sages would consider.

To be honest, many emperors don't want this.

"This kind of question will only become false and empty in the end!"

Li Xiu shook his head.

People with power will not tell the people at the bottom about their intentions in formulating certain measures. That is to say, the people can use it but not know it.

These unspoken rules must not be written, so you can only write your own ideals, but isn't this just false and empty!

You must know that reality is an iron fist that can smash anyone's ideals and make them lower their heads.

Everyone has an ideal country in their hearts, but reality will teach them how to behave. No matter how grand and grand their final ideal is, they will eventually become ordinary people with nothing to do.

"This time, there is no limit to the number of participants. All seven members of the Prince Group can answer the questions. The time limit is one hour!"

King Qi sat down.

The princes and princesses had to answer questions for two hours, and they couldn't keep everyone waiting, so King Qi's court band came on stage.

Usually, this band only performs for princes and ministers at banquets or celebrations, and is not seen by ordinary people. But now, civilians can also watch it.

"Wow, look at those dancers, they are all so beautiful!"

"Nonsense, any woman who can enter the palace is not beautiful?"

"No wonder everyone wants to be the emperor!"

When the common people looked at those beautiful palace maids, they felt sour as if they had had lemons stuffed into their mouths. These were the best women they would never be able to lay a finger on in their lives.

Sun Mo drank tea and ate cakes, watching with relish.

Compared with modern variety shows, the songs and dances of this era have more ancient charm, which makes Sun Mo, a country bumpkin who has never seen it before, quite satisfied.

The only problem is that the dancers wear too many clothes.

"Perhaps they wear less when performing for the emperor in private?"

Sun Mo wanted to see the emperor's special edition.

Li Xiu was bored. She had long been tired of watching this kind of singing and dancing. She was about to say something to Sun Mo, but she saw that he was watching with great interest, so the eldest princess was stunned.

What the hell is this?

Are Qi women so attractive?

etc,

Even after Sun Mo became famous, he seemed to have been concentrating on studying knowledge, teaching and educating people. It seemed that he had never enjoyed a luxurious life?

Because of Li Ziqi's relationship, Li Xiu sent people to follow Sun Mo. She remembered that her servants reported that Sun Mo didn't even go to Huajie and Liuxiang.

"Oops, I neglected to greet Master Sun. When he gets back, I will give him a palace band!"

Li Xiu decided.

Although it is expensive to maintain a palace band, Sun Mo is definitely not short of money.

"Master Sun, how is my band? Can it catch your eye?"

King Qi came, followed by the Queen and Taifu Su.

Everyone in the audience seats of the Tang Dynasty stood up quickly and saluted and said hello.

"very good!"

Sun Mo praised.

Li Xiu and Han Cangshui of the Qi Dynasty nodded, chatted casually, said hello, and continued talking to Sun Mo.

"Which one do you think is the prettiest?"

"..."

Sun Mo glanced at King Qi secretly and didn't know how to answer. In theory, these dancers were considered private property of the royal family. They were the harem of King Qi and could be favored at will. He did not dare to comment.

Discussing the emperor's women?

You don't want to live anymore!

"I've tried that as a lead dancer, and my figure can really be put into various poses!"

King Qi whispered.

"His Majesty!"

The queen looked ashamed and angry, while Taifu Su looked helpless. King Qi was famous for his lack of tone.

"Okay, okay, I know you famous teachers care about image. I don't mean anything by saying this. I just see that you like it and I want to give you some dancers!"

King Qi explained.

"No need!"

Sun Mo was embarrassed to ask for it.

Of course, if you insist on giving it, I will reluctantly accept it.

Sun Mo couldn't help but glance at the leading dancer, forget it, keep it for yourself!

"There is no man who doesn't like women, except eunuchs, even monks are no exception!"

King Qi flat-mouthed, feeling that Sun Mo was a bit boring, but thinking about his identity, he felt relieved. After all, he was the king of a country, and it was normal for him not to let go.

"Since I let you choose and you don't choose, then I will make my own decision!"

King Qi looked around: "This palace band is given to you!"

"His Majesty!"

The queen frowned, a little reluctant to part with it. This was the best palace band in Daqi. It took six years to form it. It was both beautiful and talented.

The key is, if you give it to Sun Mo, what will happen to the national ceremony at the end of the year?

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but this gift is too expensive and I can't take it!"

Sun Mo quickly refused.

If you say you don't want them, that's a lie, but these are real people, and they are given away casually as if they are goods, which Sun Mo, who has a correct outlook on life, cannot accept.

Alas, I am the light of righteousness!

"Then what do you think we should do? I'll have someone retrain you one?"

King Qi's voice sounded unhappy.

"Master Sun, since His Majesty has this intention, just accept it!"

Taifu Su gave some advice.

King Qi is a man of great integrity, and he thinks highly of you when he rewards you. If you keep refusing, you will be annoying.

"Okay, thank you Your Majesty!"

Sun Mo cupped his fists.

"Haha, that's right."

King Qi gave the gift and smiled like a fifty-year-old child: "I hit it off with Master Sun, why don't you come to the palace tonight and have a good sleep?"

"What the hell..."

Sun Mo almost uttered a curse word. Fortunately, he knew that King Qi was greedy for his divine hand, otherwise he would not have dared to go.

"Your Majesty, I have a medicinal bag that can be used in a warm medicated bath. It has a miraculous effect on strengthening the body!"

He was so generous, and Sun Mo was too embarrassed to hold back: "When the debate among the five countries is over, I will prepare a special edition of ancient whale oil for your majesty!"

"well!"

The King of Qi was overjoyed. When he thought that tigers and tigers could once again spread the wind, spread clouds and rain on the bed, and kill all directions, he wished that the Five Kingdoms Controversy would end soon.

Special edition?

Master Sun, you are really my good confidant!

"Villain, sycophant!"

Some ministers of Qi State were so jealous that they almost vomited blood when they saw that Sun Mo had a happy conversation with King Qi and received valuable rewards.

You know, this guy is a foreigner, and he has just met His Majesty and is not familiar with him at all, yet he is so favored.

If he had been allowed to stay in Qi for a few years, he would have become his number one favorite.

Li Xiu felt so stressed.

What can I give myself to defeat the King of Qi?

The members of this kind of palace band are all selected from all over the country. They are not only beautiful, but also have skills. The most important thing is that these are all beauties from Qi State.

Men, they are all greedy for novelty and like foreign women, there is nothing wrong with that.

"Since you can't surpass your appearance and talent, let's work on your identity!"

Li Xiu planned to give Sun Mo a princess, but as soon as she made the decision, she heard King Qi's question.

"Master Sun, what do you think of these daughters?"

Li Xiu's ears suddenly stood up.

"Oh, what do you mean? You old bastard wants to send the princess to win over Sun Mo? Are you still shameless?"

Li Xiu immediately decided to ask Zi Qi to blow Sun Mo's pillow and speak ill of the Qi royal family, in order to make this matter a mess.

Sun Mo is the most shining famous teacher in our Tang Dynasty, and we must not let Qi State abduct him.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu looked at Han Cangshui and planned to let Li Xuan become Sun Mo's disciple, even in name only.

Let’s establish a relationship first and then talk about it.

Han Cangshui was sitting in the corner, drinking alone. Today, he had completely humiliated himself.

"Sun Mo, Ganli Niang!"

Han Cangshui felt helpless. Just like a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice, Li Xuan has poor qualifications, and I have no choice. I can't change his bloodline, right?

"Master Sun, are these your direct disciples?"

When King Qi saw Lu Zhiruo and the others, his eyes lit up, they were so beautiful!

"Yes!"

Sun Mo chuckled: "Zhiruo, Tantai, come here to pay homage to His Majesty!"

The gourd boys came over and saluted King Qi without being humble or saying a word.

"Okay, they are all young heroes!"

King Qi waved his hand: "Come here, I'll give you a big reward!"

When Han Cangshui saw this scene, his mouth became even more sour.

With King Qi's eyes, how could he know if these children were geniuses just by looking at them? He said this all for Sun Mo's sake.

King Qi could not stay here forever. After talking to Sun Mo for a while, he invited him back to the main stand.

Even the gourd boys were exposed.

An hour and a half later, the princes and princesses completed their articles one after another.

Xiang Zhao scratched his hair, he hated writing this kind of thing.

"Time's up, stop writing!"

the ceremonial officer announced.

The princes who had not finished their articles were anxious and wanted to write a few more words. However, these people were all judged to have failed the list and did not even have a chance to enter the selection.

"Next, there will be a public reward for the article!"

As the etiquette officer spoke, four eunuchs moved a metal instrument onto the ring.

This is a projection platform made with projection stones and weapon refining skills. Place paper on it and you can magnify it through this projection platform.

The effect is similar to a movie curtain.

"Who would like to be the first to be appreciated?"

King Qi looked at all the contestants and asked.
