The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 495 Encountered Assassination
Chapter 490 The Third Assassination
The woman in front of him made Gao Qi's eyes shine immediately, her face was delicate and handsome, and her jet-black hair flowed down like a flowing waterfall.

This woman is Li Qingzhao, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty.

"The little girl, Li Qingzhao, has met the King of Qi, and I hope that the King of Qi can revoke the choice of Tanhua and change to someone else!"

Although Li Qingzhao was begging Gao Qi in a dignified manner at this time, Gao Qi still could see the reluctance in her eyes.

This is a kind of reluctantly parting eyes, is the spirit of selfless dedication.

Indeed, Li Qingzhao is a talented woman, and she definitely hopes to stand out in the imperial examination this time. Being able to win the third prize is a manifestation of ability in itself.

However, now that Li Qingzhao was able to take the overall situation into consideration and give up voluntarily after seeing all the scholars gathered to make trouble.

Gao Qi was even more amazed at how this total performance did not catch everyone's eyes!

Hearing this, Gao Qi couldn't help letting go of his mind, and said softly: "Miss Li, you won Tanhua by your own ability, are you really willing to give up just because of this?"

Following Gao Qi's inquiry, Li Qingzhao bowed his hands and saluted, saying: "To tell you the truth, the little girl is really unwilling to give up Tanhua."

"However, my father has taught the little girl since I was a child, and wants me to be well-educated."

"So, this time, the little girl doesn't want King Qi to be in a dilemma for the sake of the scholars and the little girl."

"Therefore, after thinking about it and making up my mind, the little girl is willing to give up Tanhua, so as not to let the conflict deepen."

For a while, following Li Qingzhao's words, all the officials who came with him couldn't help but catch their eyes and couldn't help being moved.

Among them, Cai Yong, the Chinese son's supervisor, slowly stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "King Qi, Miss Li Qingzhao is so knowledgeable and reasonable, and knows how to be modest."

"Its quality is definitely not bad, and there is no compromise!"

Originally, when they saw Li Qingzhao came forward on his own initiative and begged to withdraw, all the scholars thought that there was a turning point.

However, now Cai Yong suddenly stood up to dissuade Gao Qi, and depending on the situation, Gao Qi vaguely followed his advice.

For a moment, all the scholars couldn't help cursing Cai Yong in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it.

Immediately, Gao Qi stepped forward slowly and took a few steps, stopped in front of the scholars, and angrily reprimanded: "You are really small-bellied."

"With your stingy appearance, what face do you have to take part in the imperial examination, and what face do you have to pass the exam?"

"When you are eliminated, you don't think about your own shortcomings, but here you are like a shrew, how decent is it?"

"Miss Li Qingzhao, the Tanhua who has just been agreed by the orphan, how big is her heart to accommodate you?"

"She saw that you did not hesitate to come here to make trouble in order to find flowers, but she took the initiative to come and tell Gu that Gu would disqualify her."

"Leaving aside his ability, even his quality of being selfless and looking out for the overall situation is simply not something you can compare to."

"What Gu Daqi needs is talents. It's true, but the talents that Gu values ​​are first of all quality, and then talent and learning."

"But now, it seems that your quality disappoints Gu, but your mind is far less broad than that of a woman."

"So, now I feel that it is not Gu Daqi's wrong choice to eliminate you this time."

"Li Qingzhao, this talented woman won the Tanhua by virtue of her talent and learning, why not?"

"I tell you clearly that Gu will not cancel this result as you wish."

"However, now that you have no law to rule, you gather in front of Gu's palace and act mischievously without authorization. Gu announced this time that you will be expelled from your imperial examination rights, and you will never be admitted for life."

As soon as these words came out, all the scholars couldn't help being frightened, and couldn't help but knelt down and begged for mercy.

It should be noted that if their right to participate in the imperial examination is revoked for life, wouldn't that kill them?
What is the reason for the literati to study hard in the cold window, isn't it just to be able to be able to stand out one day?
But now Gao Qi directly cut off their future, how could he not be afraid?

However, Gao Qi was unmoved and ignored him at all!
After all, with this quality of talent, even if they are talented, so what?

Immediately, the leading scholar surnamed Li couldn't help standing up slowly, and said loudly: "King Qi, who knows if that woman is really talented or not?"

"What if she bribed the examiner and then helped him cheat for personal gain?"

Hearing this, Cai Yong walked straight forward with his old body, and shouted angrily: "Boy, don't you want to spit blood!"

"The old man has personally read this girl's article, it is indeed..."

However, before Cai Yong finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gao Qi waving his hand, and immediately said: "Mr. Cai, arguing with this kind of person is like playing the piano against a cow, and there will be no results."

"Let's let the solitary handle it!"

After speaking, Cai Yong took the order and retreated slowly.

At this time, Gao Qi sneered again and again, and said slowly: "Hehehe, according to what you see, how can you believe that Miss Li won the prize by relying on her real talents and learning."

Hearing this, the leader of the scholars surnamed Li sneered a few times and said, "King Qi, if Li Qingzhao can compose a poem in person within a stick of incense in front of us."

"As long as we can win the approval of everyone present, we will accept it."

"Hahahaha!"

"It's not up to anyone alone, it depends on Ms. Li's own choice."

However, after hearing the news, Gao Qi laughed a lot, but gave the choice to Li Qingzhao himself.

Immediately, before all the scholars could react, Li Qingzhao took the lead to stand up and said, "King Qi, my little girl is willing."

Indeed, anyone would be willing to have the chance to be proven, and Li Qingzhao was no exception.

"Okay, since that's the case, General Dian will arrange it quickly and prepare a stick of incense. I only want to appreciate the masterpieces of Daqi's new generation of talented women."

At this time, from Gao Qi's words, he could feel his confidence.

Yes, this is Gao Qi's self-confidence, but Li Qingzhao has left many well-known poems and prose for later generations.

As the censer was ready to be placed outside the mansion, and as the news spread, the aristocratic families and common people in Jiangling City all gathered here.

For a while, apart from hundreds of scholars outside the palace, it was also crowded with people.

All of them came to watch the demeanor of the No.1 female Tanhua produced by Daqi.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and a stick of incense in the incense burner was also burning slowly.

It's just that Li Qingzhao still didn't compose a poem when the fragrance was about to fade away.

For a while, more than a hundred scholars couldn't help but become more and more excited, and they couldn't help being unhappy, because as long as Li Qingzhao couldn't compose poems on time.

This move can not only make Gao Qi lose face and dignity among the people in the city, but also make Gao Qi revoke Li Qingzhao's appointment as he wishes.

At this time, the leading scholar surnamed Li was the most excited, as if he really wanted to see Gao Qi make a fool of himself.

A stick of incense in the censer was already quietly burning, but at this moment Li Qingzhao was still resting with his eyes closed, not saying a word!

At this moment, the situation suddenly became tense, but Cai Yong was breaking out in cold sweat and his expression was tense.

Seeing that the time was coming to an end, but Li Qingzhao did not have the slightest intention to write a poem, which made Cai Yong not nervous.

After all, Li Qingzhao's prospecting was decided by him alone, and it would be embarrassing in front of the public.

That is not the face of Cai Yong alone, but the face of the entire Imperial College.

At this time, it can be said that the closer to the last moment, the more excited the scholars are.

Suddenly, at the last moment when a stick of incense burned out, Li Qingzhao suddenly opened his eyes, his face was very calm, without the slightest panic.

Some are just calm, and bursts of faith.

Gao Qi knew that this was Li Qingzhao's masterpiece, which was a kind of fearless self-confidence.

Immediately, Gao Qi smiled all over his face and said: "Miss Li, since I have made up my mind, I will read it to you all."

"Let everyone hear how this poem works."

As soon as Gao Qi said this, the expressions of all the scholars tensed up, and their hearts were raised in their throats.

Then, Li Qingzhao listened to Gao Qi's words of encouragement, expressed gratitude, and then devoted himself to the poem.

Born to be a hero, Yu is a royal hero.

The first to create the Great Qi State will rule the world.

For a while, just four sentences became a masterpiece, which suddenly shocked everyone present.

Not only the hundreds of scholars were speechless for a moment, but even the onlookers were silent!

In fact, the biggest feature of this poem is not the beautiful sentences, on the contrary, it is very calm.

But Li Qingzhao grasped one point in writing this poem, which is to praise Gao Qi and Da Qi.

The first sentence in it explains that everyone in the world should be like Gao Qi and become a hero for the rest of his life.

The second sentence also specifies that Gao Qi is a descendant of the royal family, and the third sentence praises Gao Qi's achievements in creating Daqi.

The last sentence expresses the great cause of the state of Qi, which is about to sweep away the troubled times, enter the Central Plains, and calm the world.

At this moment, the hearts of more than a hundred scholars were already cold. They knew that with the birth of this poem, Li Qingzhao had won.

First of all, regardless of the artistic conception of this poem, Li Qingzhao praised Gao Qi and the state of Qi.

Just think about it, for such a patriotic person, how could Gao Qi cancel the appointment?
Immediately, the people in the city suddenly knelt down and shouted: "The grass people are waiting to congratulate the king!"

"May your majesty quickly clear up the troubled times and rule the world, so that people all over the world can live a good life like grassroots people."

At this moment, although Gao Qi has not yet proclaimed himself emperor, he has enjoyed the level that only the emperor can have, and is admired by thousands of people.

Indeed, ever since Gao Qi entered Jiangling and proclaimed himself king after the founding of the country, corvee labor and taxes were appropriately reduced in the territory.

In addition, Gao Qi vigorously supported Zaoyi to farm in various parts of the territory.

Therefore, almost the state of Qi has now eliminated the shortage of food, and the people's families will more or less have surplus food after paying taxes.

For a while, Li Qingzhao's poem could not help but arouse people's memories of the past.

Therefore, unconsciously, he bowed to Gao Qi, hoping that he would rule the world as soon as possible.

What is support? This is the real and real support.

The people of China are very simple, as long as the ruler can treat them well and let them live and work in peace.

In turn, they will sincerely support the dynasty and feel grateful.

"Everyone, please get up, I will surely grant your request, and speed up the progress to calm the world."

It is only said that in the moment of comforting the people, Wu Chengen, who has passed the third tour, slowly stood up and said: "I wonder if Ms. Li can name this masterpiece?"

Hearing this, Li Qingzhao said slowly: "This poem was written by the king of Qi in the Qing Dynasty for the country. It should be taken by the king himself."

"Ah? Orphaned?"

After thinking for a while, Gao Qi said slowly: "Since that's the case, let Gu come and get it!"

"Let's title this poem Heroes. I hope that this poem will be able to lead the world in the future, sweep away the world's anti-kings, and end the troubled times."

For a while, with Gao Qi's autograph, it was unanimously praised by many people.

Suddenly, a sudden change occurred, in a split second, before everyone could react.

The leading scholar surnamed Li came straight at Gao Qi with a dagger in his hand, apparently intending to kill Gao Qi in one fell swoop.

Its speed was unstoppable, and it killed Gao Qi in an instant, shouting: "Fun Lord, die!"

For a moment, the audience was shocked!

However, there was a scream in the next second, and the scholar surnamed Li with the knife flew out backwards like a flash.

In fact, Gao Qi had already noticed that something was wrong as early as when Li Qingzhao's speech was made against Li Qingzhao.

The reason why he has remained silent all this time is because he wants to see what its purpose is?
Until he secretly drew his sword, Gao Qi knew that his target was himself.

That's why this scene happened. After all, Gao Qi's martial arts is now at the peak of first-class.

How could a mere assassin be able to get in when he was on guard?

However, this scholar surnamed Li is obviously not alone, there are many companions hidden in the crowd.

The scholar surnamed Li who landed hard couldn't help but roared: "What are you still doing in a daze, do it, kill the Hunjun."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw more than a dozen assassins in the costumes of scholars among the crowd of more than a hundred scholars, holding short knives and rushing straight into the sky towards Gao Qi.

Suddenly, more than a dozen assassins rushed towards Gao Qi in a half-surrounded posture, and more than ten short knives approached Gao Qi.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable, and Gao Qi's crisis has also followed!

Just an inch away from Gao Qi, the scream of "Ahhh" suddenly resounded.

It turned out that it was Li Cunxiao who was the first to react and came to rescue him with a sword.

For a while, relying on Li Cunxiao's bravery, there was almost no suspense in the battle, and more than ten assassins were all beheaded to death.

Just when Li Cunxiao swung his sword and was about to step forward and kill the leading assassin, Gao Qi stopped him suddenly.

"Cun Xiao, save his life!"

Hearing this, although Li Cunxiao looked puzzled, he obeyed the order, and then ordered the Imperial Forest Army to control him.

Suddenly, Gao Qi was really angry at this time, and shouted: "Come Junchen, take the assassin to Gu."

"No matter how you deal with it, you must find out the behind-the-scenes instigation for Gu!"

Hearing this, the fierce looking Lai Junchen immediately accepted the order and said, "No!"

Immediately, under the escort of the Imperial Forest Army, the assassin followed Junchen to the prison to wait for disposal.

Lai Junchen and Gao Qi were appointed as the chief envoys of the Heaven Prison, who were in charge of the prisoners.

If a general prisoner is not obedient, as long as he falls into the hands of Lai Junchen, he will confess obediently within two days.

This is also the reason why Gao Qi handed over the assassin to the cruel official Lai Junchen.

Because, Gao Qi knew very well that the assassin behind this must be the mastermind, so Gao Qi just wanted to follow the clues to find out the mastermind behind it.

Otherwise, the assassination will continue in the future.

Next, because Gao Qi was assassinated, and the assassin came from more than a hundred scholars.

For a while, the rest of the scholars were also imprisoned in the sky prison, and they would never be let go until the mastermind behind the scenes was not found out.

······
I thought that after being assassinated, many people were terrified, but Gao Qi let the people go back separately, without any intention of blaming them.

Immediately, many people couldn't help but respect Gao Qi again and again.
