Hearing this,
Emperor Qing couldn't help but be shocked.
His eyes were full of horror. He had never thought that Li Changqing would dare to make such a request.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"Does Your Majesty trust me, my son?"
"If you believe me, then agree to my request!!"
Li Changqing asked again.
Although this poetry contest was indeed a crazy idea, he knew in his heart that the pressure on Qing State from Northern Qi was becoming more and more obvious.
Especially after the Northern Qi envoys came, the conflict between the two sides became even more intense.
In this case, he stood up to turn the tide, to rally the morale of the literary world internally, and to make the people of Northern Qi retreat.
In this way, not only can he be recognized by everyone, but he can also gain more benefits for Qing State, and then the reputation will flow in.
This can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
At this moment, all the civil and military officials in the hall were stunned.
They never thought that the fourth prince would say such a crazy idea!
For a moment, everyone didn't know how to respond.
Some people even suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.
"Fourth Prince! What did you just say?"
"I heard it wrong, can you repeat it again?"
Hearing this,
Li Changqing's mouth slowly drew a smile, he looked at the official with a playful look, and then said softly
"I have already said it"
"I want to challenge the literary world of Northern Qi and Qing! I will challenge the literary world of both countries and win!"
Although Li Changqing looked young at this time, he had a suffocating aura. A unique arrogance belonging to a literati.
That kind of awe-inspiring aura made these people dare not even look directly at him!
Seeing this,
Emperor Qing was silent for a long time.
Sometimes, he didn't know whether the person standing in front of him was an eighteen-year-old prince or a mere eight-year-old prince!
But at the age of eight, he dared to say such arrogant words!
This behavior and courage made him a little shocked.
He didn't expect that his son would do such a thing.
And... he actually agreed.
After hesitating for a while, his expression gradually became more indifferent.
Then, he waved to Li Changqing.
"You go down first."
Hearing this,
Li Changqing immediately bowed.
""I will obey the order of my father!"
After saying this, he walked out of the hall.
After walking out of the hall, his face gradually calmed down.
"Qingguo Literary World! Northern Qi Literary World! Get ready for the coming of this storm."
After leaving the hall, Li Changqing left the palace and returned to the Li Mansion.
While in the palace, Emperor Qing's expression became a little strange.
He looked above the palace and murmured softly.
"My son...what kind of confidence do you have?"
There was a little more expectation and a hint of worry in his expression!
Then, he looked down at Lin Xiang, Fan Jian and other six ministers below.
"Everyone, what do you think of the Fourth Prince's proposal?"
After hearing this,
Prime Minister Lin thought for a moment and bowed his hands.
"Your Majesty, this should be the Fourth Prince's plan. He may have three effects by doing this."
"First, it can enhance his own fame."
"The second is to use this method to boost the morale of the literary world and thus boost the morale of the army."
"Third, this plan could weaken Northern Qi and undermine its morale, thereby achieving the goal of making the Northern Qi literary world surrender."
"But the eight-year-old Fourth Prince really shocked me!"
Hearing this,
Emperor Qing nodded.
"Well, that's good. If he succeeds, it will be good for our Qing Kingdom. But what if he fails! The royal family of our Qing Kingdom will become a huge joke. The literary world of our Qing Kingdom will not be able to make a breakthrough in the next ten years."
Speaking of this, worry appeared in the eyes of Emperor Qing. He had no doubt about Li Changqing's talent. The fact that he could write two eternal poems had already proved his literary talent. But the question is. Challenging the literary world of the two countries, is that a feat that can be accomplished by two poems? Thinking of this, a minister below came out. He was an official in the camp of the second prince Li Chengze. At this moment, he began to fan the flames for Li Changqing.
"Your Majesty! I see that the Fourth Prince is so arrogant and presumptuous, why not take this opportunity to teach him a lesson?"
"Set this poetry contest banquet! If he loses, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor!"
After hearing his words,
Emperor Qing also nodded.
"Well, that makes some sense."
At this time,
Fan Jian spoke
"Your Majesty, you can’t do that! I have read the poems of the Fourth Prince before, and they do contain a lot of talent. But now the once famous Qi Xuanyun has come out in person, and if he loses the poetry contest, that’s possible. But the crime of deceiving the emperor cannot be determined!"
Hearing this, the minister immediately stepped back, only because Fan Jian’s status was much higher than his, and the other party was a minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Although the two were of equal status, Fan Jian’s power was much greater than the other party, and it would be troublesome if he offended this gentleman!
Seeing Fan Jian speak, Emperor Qing, who was sitting on the dragon throne, narrowed his eyes and wondered in his heart why Fan Jian would speak for Li Changqing.
Could it be that...
Fan Jian put the chips on him, Li Changqing!
In this case! He wants to see what Li Changqing is capable of!
