Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 47
As soon as the rules came out, the generals complained to the sky. They used to get away with jingles like 'wet their crotch at night'. The emperor is blatantly favoring civil servants.

"Boy, is there any problem? The officials have increased the difficulty a lot. It seems that it is not easy to mix."

Li Jixun asked Ye Chen worriedly, they had never seen Ye Chen recite poems and fu, they only knew that Ye Chen was good at arithmetic and good at bow and arrow.However, it is okay for a military commander to be ashamed, but he must not be timid. Naturally, he will not quit at this time.

"This... Master, the old man doesn't like poetry, so the younger generation is really not very good at it, but I will try my best." Ye Chen knew that he couldn't refuse at this time, so he could only bite the bullet, a little unconfident Said.

Li Jixun, Dang Jin, Gao Huaide, and Zhao Zan suddenly felt bad.Ye Chen ignored the crowd, and began to try hard to recall the poems he remembered since the Northern Song Dynasty in his mind.

"Since we want to compose poems, we naturally have to set a theme. Well... this time the officials led the army to open up the territory and expand the country for the Song Dynasty, and made great achievements. We will use the expansion of the territory as the theme .” Zhao Pu thought for a moment.

When everyone heard this, except for Zhao Kuangyin and the four veterans who handed over all the problems to Ye Chen, the others quickly lowered their heads and began to think.Although Zhao Pu said this topic implicitly, he actually used poetry to praise the emperor's achievements in opening up territories.

"Isn't it just flattering the emperor! Well... there seem to be a few, but I don't know if they are from the Northern Song Dynasty, who cares! Just help a few old guys to pass the test. If it doesn't work, the worst thing is to drink the wine for them. "Ye Chen muttered in his heart, while trying to recall the poems in his mind related to praising the emperor.

After a few breaths, Zhao Pu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Hahaha! The old man thought of a few words, and then he started. Hmm... as soon as he was angry, the stars fell, and a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers followed him from afar."

"As soon as the sky is angry and the cold stars fall, a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers follow from afar. Great poem! Great poem!" Dr. Taichang Li Guangzan repeated in his mouth and praised.The other two civil servants also expressed their praises.Zhao Kuangyin felt that this line of poem implied that he was the true son of God recognized by the heavens, and he was also delighted in his heart, so he couldn't help but nodded and praised a few words.In fact, these two poems are very general, and the characters 'luo' and 'sui' don't even rhyme.Although Zhao Pu can compose poetry, he is not good at it.

According to the rules, a civil servant would write a poem, and then a military commander would write a poem.Everyone first looked at Cao Bin who was thinking, and then at Ye Chen who was also frowning and thinking.

Cao Bin obviously had limited poetic feelings, and he didn't think of it for a while, and everyone looked at Ye Chen, who didn't know much about it.

"Boy! Can you do it! Hurry up!" Veteran Gao Huaide said anxiously.Li Jixun, Dang Jin, and Zhao Zan also urged.

Ye Chen was anxious, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. Finally, he remembered a sentence from the great man of later generations. After removing two characters, it happened to be a poem that fit the theme. The hero bows down!"

"Hmm! It's not bad that the poetry fits the theme, and the implication is grand. The word 'jiao' and the word 'waist' also rhyme just right. Brother Ye is worthy of being a disciple of a master." Zhao Pu nodded and said.

"Okay! Brother Ye's poem is my old man's. Hahaha..." Gao Huaide hurriedly said before the other three generals.

Although Dang Jin, Li Jixun, and Zhao Zan scolded themselves for being slow in reacting, seeing that Ye Chen was indeed a good poet, they were no longer too worried.

On the other side, Zhao Kuangyin tasted Ye Chen's poem.I took it for granted that I stood above the protagonist of this poem, and I was very satisfied in my heart, only feeling that it was better than Zhao Pu's poem just now.

Guo Wuwei also nodded secretly, thinking that no matter whether this son came from that place as his master guessed, it shouldn't be a big deal for him to want to export it into poems.

Then Li Guangzan shook his head and said, "The sun shines through Wanren Mountain, and the fierceness will last thousands of years!"

All the generals didn't understand, so they kept silent. Ye Chen was busy thinking about the next poem, but he didn't listen at all. Only Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu praised a few words.

Next, on the general's side, Cao Bin finally thought of a song, and said: "Liufang will endure the wind and snow for thousands of years, and I will repay my emperor with my loyalty."

Cao Bin's poem is so-so, and the rhyme is not quite right, but Zhao Kuangyin is very satisfied with the meaning of flattering and showing loyalty, so Zhao Kuangyin smiled and nodded in approval.

Guo Wuwei seemed to be waiting for a long time on the civil servant's side, and he opened his mouth and said, "Wei Jia Hai Nei returns to his hometown, and Andy's warriors guard the four directions!"

Zhao Pu and other four civil servants were obviously quite hostile to Guo Wuwei. They knew that this poem was also good, but no one produced it and praised it, which made Guo Wuwei curse inwardly. Finally, Zhao Kuangyin exported a few words of praise to show that he passed the test.

It was the general's turn again, and only Ye Chen was left to write the poem, so everyone looked at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen took advantage of this time to think of a few poems. Seeing everyone looking at him, he said: "The emperor is the best in the world, so why not be the champion?"

"This is the old man's fault!" Dang Jin shouted immediately.But apart from his utterance, the audience was silent, and after a while, Zhao Kuangyin only heard a long laugh, looked at Ye Chen, his face was full of joy and satisfaction, and he liked Ye Chen more and more in his heart, he let out a long laugh, and said: "Okay! Boy, this poem is not bad! Hahaha... Wang Jien! Take back the five and a half stone bow in the treasure house of the Northern Han Dynasty Palace and give it back to Ye Chen. It is my reward for Ye Chen's poem."

Ye Chen didn't expect that he racked his brains to think of a poem whose name, author and dynasty he had forgotten, but accidentally touched Zhao Kuangyin's heart and got a precious bow.

Next, another civil servant uttered a line of poetry, the words and mood were all excellent, but it was hard to beat the line of Ye Chen's just now.

After the civil servants, it was the turn of the generals, and Ye Chen began to worry again.Frowning and thinking for a long time, when everyone was impatient, Li Jixun and Zhao Zan started arguing over who drank the bowl of wine first, Ye Chen finally thought of a song that fit the theme, and because he was rewarded by the emperor just now, he deliberately He also slightly modified it and said: "As soon as the legendary emperor goes out, the flags of the three armies will be hoisted."

The artistic conception of this poem is actually very ordinary, the rhyme is not very good, and the words are so-so, but after Zhao Kuangyin's violent reaction before, the civil servants didn't know what Zhao Kuangyin was thinking at this time, and they all expressed their praises for this poem. By the way, he flattered Zhao Kuangyin.

This time Li Jixun recommended this poem to himself before Zhao Zan.

When everyone's flattery came to a climax and Zhao Kuangyin became a little impatient, the remaining civil servant uttered the poem he had prepared for a long time.To be honest, it is much better than what Ye Chen said just now, and it is also a good poem for flattering, but at this time Zhao Kuangyin has had enough of flattering, and the effect will inevitably be greatly reduced.

At this time, Zhao Zan was left alone. Ye Chen had already thought of a poem and was about to say it, but Zhao Kuangyin slapped the table and said, "Those who only talk about poetry don't drink, and it's hard to justify not drinking in the whole audience. It's no fun to let Ye Chen speak poetry alone. Zhao Zan writes poems by himself, and if he can't do it, he can drink by himself."

Seeing the emperor speak, Zhao Zan could only admit that he was unlucky. He knew that he was not suitable for poetry, so he picked up the big bowl and drank it in one gulp.

The banquet didn't last long, and it was over around Haishi.Ye Chen was arranged by the servants to sleep in the Northern Han Palace. He always felt uneasy all night. He simply played with the five-stone and half-precious bow that Wang Jien sent overnight. He didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night. People called him, who made these three days a rest time, and no one cared about sleeping in like this as Ye Chen.

After Ye Chen left his sleeping place, he ran into Wang Jien again. After asking, he found out that Cao Bin, Li Jixun and other generals had left the city overnight and returned to their respective camps.Ye Chen knew that this was the Song Army's long-standing rule. When sending troops out, the commander-in-chief must stay in the barracks.

Ye Chen bid farewell to Wang Jien, left the Northern Han Palace early, and rode out of Jinyang City to the Peking University Camp where Cao Bin was. Bin report and ask for advice.

But when he just came outside Cao Bin's tent and was about to let the soldiers report, he saw Wang Chao hurried up to him, with tears in his eyes and a pleading expression on his face, he opened his mouth for a long time and squeezed out a few words. Word: "Brother Ye! Please save my brother!"

After speaking, he dragged Ye Chen to the front camp of the North Camp.

Luo Yaoshun's brother was a deputy commander of the former battalion. His name was Ma Gangzi. He was injured, and he was badly injured, with seven stab wounds in his body.

It can be seen that they are all heroes who have fought countless times on the battlefield, and like Wang Chao, their skills are quite good. They always avoid the vital points when they are hit by the knife, otherwise they will die early, and they will lose too much blood just like this. The military medical officer shook his head again and again, saying that the root was injured and he was powerless to recover.

Ye Chen came, and after looking at it carefully, he didn't understand. It's just that he lost too much blood. After replenishing the blood, as long as there are no complications, he will be a lively hero again in a month or two. How could he be hopeless?
Looking at Wang Chao's appearance, the person on the hospital bed is probably not even his own brother, but a brother of life and death. Wang Chao has taught him his skills. His archery and riding skills were all taught by Wang Chao. When he was on the battlefield, Wang Chao was kind enough to save his life.Speaking of which, he and Wang Chao can be regarded as life and death brothers.

Ye Chen knew that he had to take care of this matter, and he had to go all out.I thought to myself that fortunately my parents are both doctors, and I have learned some from myself since I was a child. Otherwise, even if I knew how to do it, I would not know how to operate it.
