Chapter 29
The prince led the Jade Fairy to sit down. As soon as the two of them arrived, it meant that today's Zhige Poetry Meeting had officially begun. Everyone was working hard and planned to throw out the poems they had written some time ago to compete for fame today! "Fang Junshen, why do you have the leisure to come here this time?"
After the prince took his seat, he glanced at Fang Chen seemingly casually and smiled.
Tao Yu answered for Fang Chen: "Your Highness, Fang Junshen said that he wants to be influenced by the fragrance of pen and ink."
"I see."
The prince suddenly said: "That's fine. Fang Junshen will not be able to enter the court or lead soldiers in the future. It is better to give up martial arts and follow literature to add a glimmer of glory to our Daxia. Fang Junshen is a martial arts wizard, and he will not be weak if he wants to change to literature. To you all.”
"Your Highness, have you ever seen a butcher reciting poetry?"
Ye Qinghe couldn't help but laugh.
This sentence immediately made the scene burst into laughter.
Fairy Jade frowned inadvertently. She remembered everyone who made people laugh today, especially Tao Yu and Ye Qinghe.
Fang Chen was bored and waved his hand: "I'm here to be influenced by poetry and ink, not to chat with you. Please hurry up and write poetry."
Everyone's expressions changed slightly. When the prince saw this, he ignored Fang Chen and immediately smiled at everyone and said:
"The theme of today's poetry meeting is Zhi Ge. Who will win the first prize?"
When everyone heard this, someone immediately jumped out and recited the poems they had already composed, which immediately attracted applause from the whole hall.
"Bullshit doesn't make sense."
Fang Chen murmured in his heart, then smiled and clapped his hands, but his eyes were inadvertently looking at the entourage brought by the prince.
As Zhi Ge's poems appeared one after another, the atmosphere of the poetry meeting gradually reached a high point. No one cared about Fang Chen's existence. They all wanted to take advantage of today's opportunity to gain some fame for themselves and leave an impression in front of the prince. , for future promotion.
"His followers are all warriors, and their cultivation level is only at the peak of explosive energy. There is no sign of the Blood Spirit Cult, but..."
A smile flashed in Fang Chen's eyes.
His people have already taken action, and today they can determine the relationship between the Taoist and the prince.
If the prince has anything to do with the Blood Spirit Cult.
Then the nature of the matter will completely change.
"The war is like a horse climbing the cloud peak, and the bones of the three realms are buried with thousands of loyal souls.
The old business has been wiped out with the war, and all I can hear is that my family members are wet with tears. "
"Nice poem!"
"He is worthy of being our most talented man in Great Xia! In this poem, I seem to see countless loyal souls crying because they can no longer return home to reunite with their families!"
"Brother Tao, if you can enter the palace in the future, you will definitely lead Daxia to truly stop the war, just like my ancient river, which has not fought for a hundred years but celebrates every year!"
The crowd burst into cheers and continued to praise Tao Yu's poem. They seemed to have witnessed with their own eyes the battle at Sanjie Mountain where countless loyal souls died tragically!
Tao Yu smiled softly and waved the folding fan in his hand, but his eyes fell on Fang Chen.
This poem, if it has any meaning.
Everyone could tell that they didn't care about Fang Chen's existence. After hearing this poem, they all looked at Fang Chen, with anger, resentment, dissatisfaction, and contempt in their eyes.
Goddess Xiao was slightly surprised, and then she looked at Fang Chen, with a hint of expectation deep in her eyes. What would Fang Chen do next?
Tao Yu's poem, recited in front of Fang Chen today, is clearly scolding, contemptuous, and mocking!
Fairy Jade glanced at Tao Yu, with a strange flash in her eyes.
Tao Yu seemed to notice something, and glanced back at the Jade Fairy. He smiled softly and nodded, but he was a little happy in his heart. His poem had obviously been favored by the Jade Fairy. "Jade Fairy, what do you think of Brother Tao's poem?"
The prince laughed.
"Please also ask Fairy Jade to comment."
Tao Yu clasped his fists.
"This poem..."
The Jade Fairy pondered slightly.
Everyone's eyes were shining, looking forward to how Fairy Jade would comment on Tao Yu's poem. Today's poetry meeting will definitely become a good story! "This poem... it makes no sense."
Fairy Jade pondered for a moment and said seriously.
Everyone was slightly startled, with a look of astonishment on their faces, and they looked at each other in confusion.
Did they get it wrong?
Or was Fairy Jade wrong?
Tao Yu, who was waiting for the Jade Fairy's praise, couldn't help but froze. The prince's expression also changed. Fortunately, he had some authority and said calmly: "Jade Fairy, what do you mean by this? I think Tao Yu's poem expresses the sorrow of the war. Today's theme of ending the war should be the first of this poem."
"Your Highness, the little girl doesn't understand the current situation. The little girl only knows that it would be best if there is no war. But now that the summer is full of wind and rain, wishful thinking to stop the war may become a weakness in the eyes of the enemy.
Facing the ferocious enemy, we, the people of Great Xia, should show our fangs and turn into butchers, beheading the enemy with knives and destroying the enemy army with swords. "
Fairy Jade said with a faint smile: "Only in this way can we win a peaceful and prosperous age if the enemies we fight dare not show their teeth or show their claws and invade without authorization."
The crowd fell silent.
A flash of surprise flashed in Goddess Xiao's eyes, and she couldn't help but look at Fairy Jade a few more times, secretly thinking that this woman was quite perceptive.
The prince's face became a little unsightly. Today's theme was Zhi Ge, and he never thought that the Jade Fairy he had invited would be the main battle!
This was like a slap in the face, but due to the other party's status in Daxia Kyoto, as the prince, he couldn't scold him on the spot.
"But... who can the dead and wounded soldiers go to for an explanation?"
Tao Yu spoke slowly, his eyes falling on Fang Chen.
Fairy Jade looked at him: "The enemy invaded, and the people who were killed and injured are going to have to answer for it, you? Mr. Tao."
Many scholars looked thoughtful.
Scholars from the three kingdoms of Furukawa, Longdu, and Yizhou originally planned to join in the fun and make friends with these talented men and women from Daxia Kyoto, but they never expected to see such a scene.
A woman slowly spoke: "Jade Fairy, what you said is wrong. If you Daxia are unwilling to fight, there will be no enemy countries. This is how I, Gu He, have never had a war in a hundred years."
After saying that, she looked at the prince: "Your Highness, if you invite a prostitute to come to this Zhige Poetry Party, I'm afraid it will pollute the atmosphere of this place."
The crowd fell silent.
The identity of this woman is not simple. She is a child of the Long family, the first family in the Furukawa Empire. Because Furukawa and Daxia often have ore transactions, Long Huixin is responsible for this matter in Daxia Kyoto.
Fairy Jade glanced at Long Huixin, smiled slightly, her eyes were indifferent, and she had no intention of arguing with him.
Unexpectedly, Fang Chen looked slightly at Long Huixin: "You, the subjects of the Ancient River Empire, only number in the tens of millions, living in a remote and remote place, but you are rich in mineral veins.
Every year, [-]% of the mineral veins will be paid as tribute to the eighth-grade country, and they will come forward to protect your ancient river. Therefore, there will be peace that has not been fought for a hundred years. "
At this point, Fang Chen changed the subject and his words were a bit harsher: "But I don't know that this move has made your nobles have no worries about food and clothing, but the people under your command have no food and no clothes to cover their bodies. If there is peace but no prosperity, what's the point? use?"
