Xuanmen Prodigal Son

Chapter 48: Shocking Strategy

Views:

Mo Jun shuddered violently when these words came out. He was used to flattering others. And because he had the support of Mo Xiang, others also knew that he was a person who was stubborn and unreasonable in studying etiquette, so they were more tolerant in his words. That was why he gradually became fearless and spoke more and more harshly. He kept saying that you were dirty, he was filthy, and I was the cleanest, so why don't you just die

When others heard these words, they would just endure it. But when Chu Tianxiao really brought out these words, the other party had no basis at all - to put it bluntly, he didn't have any great principles, he just hadn't met anyone who dared to argue with him.

Chu Tianxiao on the opposite side not only dares, but is also quite qualified!

Mo Jun's forehead gradually broke out in cold sweat. Firstly, he really looked down on this prodigal son in his heart, thinking that "everything is inferior except for studying". Secondly, he was entrusted by Chu He to give Chu Tianxiao a warning...

But didn't Chu He say that this guy was an uneducated and unskilled prodigal? Then why were his words so sharp? Why was his response so swift and merciless

Before Mo Jun could figure it out, Chu Tianxiao sneered. He had no intention of associating with this group of sour scholars. Since this group of people came to pick a fight with him tonight, he could not blame his men for being ruthless!

Thinking of this, Chu Tianxiao shrugged, no longer bothering to talk to him, and pushed him aside with his right hand, and walked straight past. As for the "accompaniments" behind Mo Jun, they naturally moved aside in fear, and there was a hint of fear in their eyes when they looked at Chu Tianxiao...

"How vulgar! How vulgar! You are unworthy of being a member of the Divine Marquis family!" Mo Jun was pushed hard and finally came to his senses. He shouted, "You are such a vulgar person. You have already gone astray. How can you be qualified to participate in the literary competition! We scholars will definitely throw such filthy people like you into the abyss and condemn you with our words and pens!"

"I, Mo Jun, will be the first one who won't forgive you!"

Chu Tianxiao didn't stop, but just shook his head secretly. He had just tested it out. This Mo Jun was only at the third level of the True Refining Realm. He was so weak. He didn't know how he dared to point at him and say "I won't spare you"...

Could it be that this group of sour Confucian scholars really think that they can defeat Ming Yuan in the lower realm by memorizing a few books and reaching the third level of refinement

It’s just hilarious…

Chu Tianxiao ignored them and continued walking. However, a group of scholars dressed in the same way appeared in front of him. Judging from their appearance, they were all from Kyoto. The leader of the group hummed softly, "Prodigal son, withdraw from the literary competition."

"You are not qualified to be compared with us scholars!"

"Besides ruining the family, what else can you do?"

"How can a prodigal son be accepted into a prestigious place?"

"I don't care what your twisted ideas are. Anyway, don't really think you can do something as immoral as squandering money!"

"Wenbi will not be defiled by you!"

Among the group, there were two young men who stood out the most and had the coldest expressions. Chu Tianxiao, who guessed their identities, still did not stop. He just raised his hand and his true energy overflowed!

“Ming Yuan Realm!”

The voices of the "scholars" suddenly stopped.

They came in a hurry, and as soon as they arrived, they couldn't wait to "clean up the literary competition and get rid of the filth". Of course, they couldn't know that Chu Tianxiao had already entered the Mingyuan realm! So at that moment, everyone was extremely shocked and speechless. As Chu Tianxiao walked over, they unconsciously stepped aside...

"Is this what you call a scholar?" Chu Tianxiao sneered, "It's just a monkey in a coat with a big name!"

After these words were spoken, the "scholars" in the room lowered their heads and said nothing. Only Mo Jun gritted his teeth and couldn't help but snorted, "Even if... Humph! But, but you are still a prodigal son. You will never be as noble as us scholars! You are not worthy of being in the upper class!"

"Prodigal son? Scholar? Noble? Not worthy of being in a refined place? Haha..." Chu Tianxiao laughed, said nothing more, and walked away, with an idea in his mind...

Soon, the banquet officially ended, and the literary competition officially began after the sound of music.

Excluding the geniuses who withdrew from the literary competition, the situation of those who remained from the previous fighting and the "scholars" in Kyoto was almost half and half.

At this time, everyone was sitting quietly in their pre-arranged seats. There was a small table in front of them, with paper, pen, pen washer, white paper and other writing utensils on the side, as well as an exquisite incense burner with a stick of calming incense burning on it.

The literary competition began just like an exam. The Seventh Prince first respectfully invited a direct descendant to reveal the topic of the policy essay, and then announced it in front of everyone.

At a glance, almost everyone was stunned and completely frightened by the topic of the policy essay!

But I see that this autumn night banquet is titled...

"Can the Great Zhou Dynasty unify the vast land of China? How to unify it? Please give us a plan to destroy Qin, the barbarians, and Zhao and achieve the great cause of unification!"

When the topic of the policy paper was announced, there was a brief, depressing silence, and then there was an uproar!

Ask for strategies to unify the continent!

It turns out that he was asking for strategies to unify the vast land of China!

Because the essays could not be read aloud during the essay competition, and if one wanted to show off, they could even have the essays read aloud by the prince's attendants after they were finished, many people could not suppress their surprise and spoke out loud when they suddenly encountered such a shocking essay topic.

"Isn't this question... too big?"

"This is just an Autumn Night Banquet Essay Contest! Such a grand topic should be left to the great scholars of the empire to think about!"

"The vast land of China has never been truly unified since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This... is such a difficult question, I can't answer it!"

“… I had to give up. This question is too big to write about.”

Everyone was very puzzled, even Lu Xianyuan couldn't figure out why his father would put this question on the Autumn Night Banquet... Given the grandness of this question, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to put it on the Grand Autumn Examination. What was the deep meaning of this move...

Could it be...

Just when Lu Xianyuan was confused, no one in the room started writing.

As everyone has said, this question is extremely difficult, and there is something very strange about it, making it very difficult to answer!

"This policy essay can almost be said to be a declaration of war against Qin, Zhao, Northern Yan, the barbarians, and other forces... However, the time is not yet ripe. I believe that when the brocade bag was just opened, the Emperor of Zhou had silently imposed the secret method of 'keeping our mouths shut' on us, prohibiting us from spreading it outside..."

Chu Tianxiao closed his eyes and pondered the deep meaning.

"First of all, it is certain that this policy paper appeared at the Autumn Night Banquet. There is only one possibility, that is, the Emperor of Zhou can't wait for some reason, and the policy of keeping a low profile for decades will come to an end. Within ten years, the Great Zhou will definitely launch a war to unify China!" Chu Tianxiao couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Now that I think about it, the rumor of 'a war in twenty years' that has been circulating in the streets for several years is indeed true. I just didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor of Zhou couldn't even wait twenty years..."

"Secondly, this policy is too grand. It is impossible that it is really asking us. More importantly, it just wants to see the vision and level of the younger generation of the Great Zhou in order to formulate the most appropriate strategy for unification... After all, the land of China is too vast. Once the war of unification begins, it will definitely take years and months. It may take more than ten or twenty years... If the next generation is not able to take over, it will be embarrassing. For this reason alone, His Majesty the Emperor of Zhou is probably more far-sighted than the rumors say..."

"In that case... what does he need most? What kind of policy proposal does he want to see most?"

"Hmm..."

"etc!"

Suddenly, Chu Tianxiao recalled the previous unpleasantness between him and the "scholar", as well as that budding idea...

"If that's the case, then my idea... wouldn't it just suit his taste!?"
