Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 114 Preparing for the Competition
"Grandpa Hai, you send my invitation to the Chen Mansion. Grandpa has a literary name, so he must like this poetry meeting very much!"

In fact, with Chen Heng's current official position, it is not difficult for the Chen family to get an invitation to the Changchun Garden Poetry Association.However, since the Chen family and Zhu Qi got in touch, the whole Chen family has been very cautious, for fear that something might go wrong and cause trouble to Zhu Qi.

In the past, when everyone in the Chen family came to the palace, Zhu Qi heard from his cousin that the Chen family had never been to a poetry meeting?

In the past, Zhu Qi focused on his practice and never cared about these things.

Thinking about it now, he owed the Chen family a lot.

"My lord, are you going to put pigeons at the poetry meeting? My lord, absolutely not! I heard that the empress dowager and queen will be present at this poetry meeting, and even your majesty may come. Poetry Pigeon, how should His Majesty explain it!"

Hai Dafu followed Zhu Qi for a long time, and learned a lot of new words from Zhu Qi's mouth from time to time.At the beginning, when Hai Dafu heard Zhu Qi talk about releasing pigeons for the first time, he thought that Zhu Qi really wanted to release pigeons, so he asked people to buy a lot of pigeons, which made a big joke.But the pigeon soup was delicious.

Zhu Qi smiled and said: "Who said I won't go to the poetry meeting!"

After breaking through the Grandmaster Realm, Zhu Qi not only has the hope of longevity, but also has a certain ability to protect himself.Therefore, it doesn't matter if he goes to the Changchun Garden Poetry Fair.

A person's behavior and state of mind come from his own strength and confidence.

Although Zhu Qi doesn't like to show his face now, it doesn't mean that Zhu Qi is afraid of showing his face.

In the past, Zhu Qi's reputation of being sick and weak was widely spread.

Although no one would make irresponsible remarks in Zhu Qi's ears, in fact, no matter whether it was the Wang's residence or everyone in the Chen's residence, there was an invisible pressure.

After all, they are in a relationship with Zhu Qi who is both prosperous and hurt.

If not, without Zhu Qi, Chen Heng has some talent, and it is impossible to be promoted to the fourth rank now.

Since Zhu Qi wanted to make an appearance in the Ming Empire, he had to make an appearance openly.

Asking everyone in the Chen House to go to the poetry meeting with invitations from the Palace was not only for Zhu Qi to make up for the Chen House, but also to tell the entire Ming Empire about the relationship between the Chen House and Zhu Qi.

In politics, expressing one's position publicly and not expressing one's position are two completely different concepts.

Although many people in Didu know about the relationship between Chen Fu and Zhu Qi, as long as Zhu Qi doesn't make a statement, Chen Fu is Chen Fu.

If the Chen House uses Zhu Qi's invitation to go to the poetry meeting this time, it means that Zhu Qi is publicizing the platform for the Chen House, and telling everyone that suppressing the Chen House in the future is provoking Zhao Wang's House.

In the future, when facing the Chen family, not only civil and military officials, but also Emperor Xiaokang must also consider Zhu Qi's attitude.

This is politics!
Although Hai Dafu is the chief steward of the palace, he doesn't understand politics, so he can't see the deep meaning of Zhu Qi's move.

"Eunuch Hai, since I have accepted the Queen's invitation, I will naturally participate in this poem. Don't worry!"

"There are so many heroes in the empire. This king is not going out of the palace, so I feel a bit like watching the sky from a well. Since I am participating in the poetry meeting this time, I will discuss literary talent with all the talents, and also get to know the heroes of our Ming Empire."

"This king will participate in the competition, so don't show it off."

"In addition, you have prepared the ceremonial guards of the palace, and you will send grandpa and grandma there. Your painstaking efforts can be regarded as doing some filial piety for the king and the concubine mother."

Hai Dafu had no objection to using a guard of ceremonies to send everyone in the Chen residence, he didn't have this political sense yet.

However, Hai Dafu was still a little nervous about Zhu Qi's participation. "My lord, you are knowledgeable and talented. Why do you have to compete with those scholars from the Poetry Club?"

Hai Dafu has absolute confidence in Zhu Qi's strategy and wisdom.

After all, Zhu Qi was making suggestions for the empire behind the scenes, and Hai Dafu knew about these things, and some memorials were sent to the palace by Hai Dafu on Zhu Qi's behalf.

And the countless classics collected by the palace, coupled with Zhu Qi's hard study for ten years, it is not too much to say that Zhu Qi is full of economics and knowledge.

However, knowledge is knowledge, and there is poetry in poetry.On the mainland of China, there are many great scholars who can't write good poems.

Zhu Qi, the first time he left the palace, participated in the poetry meeting as a contestant.How could Hai Dafu not be worried.

In Hai Dafu's eyes, Zhu Qi is a teenager after all, although he is young and mature and has a rough chest.

If Zhu Qi's result is not good in this poetry meeting, I'm afraid it will leave some shadows in Zhu Qi's heart.This is not worth the candle!

"My lord, if you like poetry, after the poetry meeting, I would personally invite those students into the mansion to talk about poetry with my lord!" Hai Dafu couldn't help persuading him.

Zhu Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "Eunuch Hai, there are some things you don't understand. I have my own ideas about the poetry meeting, and you can arrange them."

Hai Dafu didn't say much after hearing the words.

Although the prince doesn't care much, but the prince has a very righteous idea. Once the prince has made up his mind, there are few people in the world who can change the prince's mind.

Shaking his head, Hai Dafu stopped thinking about it.

Hai Dafu is already very happy that the prince can go out of the palace to participate in the poetry meeting this time.If it makes the prince unhappy and he doesn't go to the poetry meeting, then Hai Dafu will be in trouble.

With Zhu Qizhai's record of ten years in the palace, Hai Dafu dare not gamble!

"Father, Eunuch Hai just sent someone to send invitations and frame guards for the Wangfu Poetry Fair. My child is a little uncertain about the Wangfu's thoughts!" In the study of the Chen Mansion, Chen Heng handed the invitation for the Poetry Fair in his hand to Father.

The old man looked at the invitation and said, "If you come, please leave a message!"

Chen Heng said: "The people who came here only said that the palace asked us to take invitations to participate in the poetry meeting."

The old man played with the invitation and asked, "What do you think!"

"Father, Prince Qi'er's move is indeed a bit unusual."

The old man glared at Chen Heng and said: "You are in the officialdom, so be careful. Since the Chen family cannot help the palace, it must not affect the palace. In the future, we will be called 'King Zhao' both inside and outside."

Chen Heng hurriedly nodded in response. The father and son had already agreed on this point.

"King Zhao, I haven't been out of the palace these years. There are many rumors outside. This poetry meeting, I'm afraid that King Zhao is going to leave the palace!" The old man said in a low tone.

"Go out of the house! Father, is it the marriage of King Zhao!"

"There are many rumors in Beijing that the queen is a matchmaker for King Zhao. Although there is not much movement, the nobles in the city are still very concerned. King Zhao is not young, and since he is healthy, the royal family will naturally arrange for King Zhao. The purpose of this poetry meeting is to show the world that King Zhao is not sick and weak."

"Father, Xungui doesn't know Zhao Wang's physical condition. It is natural for the royal family to let Zhao Wang participate in the poetry meeting, but why did the palace send invitations and carriages?"

"You! I still don't understand. In the past, people all over the world thought that King Zhao was sick and weak, and that he was in danger. In addition, King Zhao didn't leave the palace, so no one paid attention to the family of King Zhao. Although you are the uncle of King Zhao, you Doesn't being an official in the Procuratorate mean that you are often squeezed out by your colleagues?"

"If so, King Zhao is in good health. Even if he cannot enter the court as an official, he is still the one-word king of the Ming Empire. How can the Prince Zhao's Mansion, which has many descendants, be the same as the Prince Zhao Mansion, which is precarious."
