Yang Shuang sent Han Qinhu to Xuerong Hall and received an invitation to the Tomorrow Baozhaitang Poetry Festival.

Regarding this poetry meeting at Baozhaitang, Yang Shuang asked Li Jing to inquire in advance and learned that this time, Baozhaitang was held by Chen Zhengde, son of Chen Shuda, Minister of Rites.

As mentioned before, in the Tang Dynasty, civil officials supported the crown prince Li Jiancheng and military generals supported the Qin King Li Shimin, but this was not absolute and could only represent the overall trend. In fact, both Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin won over civil and military officials.

The Minister of Rites Chen Shuda supported the King of Qin. But what is even more interesting is that Chen Shuda's eldest son Chen Zhengde supported the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and now serves as the attendant of the Eastern Palace.

When a family chooses different camps and puts eggs into two baskets, it seems like a good idea. No matter which side wins, they can protect their own family. However, this choice is regarded as a bad intention, and will be looked down upon by others, and it is difficult to gain trust in their respective camps.

However, the King of Qin did not look down on Chen Shuda. On the contrary, Chen Shuda was the confidant among all the supporters of King Li Shimin of Qin, second only to Changsun Wuji. As for the difference between Chen Shuda and his son, it should not be the result of intentional choice, but the idea.

Ideas involve faith, and even father and son have different life plans.

Chen Shuda did not stop Chen Zhengde's behavior, and the relationship between the father and son was not affected, which shows that Chen Shuda is open-minded and open-minded.

This time, Chen Zhengde held a poetry meeting to win over scholars and find talented men with both moral integrity and talent for the prince. The prince often asked people to hold literati meetings, which is also a marketing method, so that scholars all over the world know that the prince attaches importance to literary power.

After understanding the purpose of this poetry meeting, Yang Shuang became interested. He looked at Li Jing and Bian Yi, and his eyes moved back and forth on the two of them.

Li Jing was playing chess with Bian Yi, and suddenly noticed the gust of wind. He quickly turned his head and saw Yang Shuang's malicious gaze.

The two looked at each other and walked honestly to Yang Shuang.

"Your Highness, what do you want to do?" Bian Yi asked.

Li Jing nodded and showed an inquiring expression.

Yang Shuang smiled and said, "Chen Zhengde held a poetry meeting to select talented people. This is a good opportunity. Why don't I take you two here and you will take the opportunity to perform well. If you don't make a sound, you will have a great success. At that time, Chen Zhengde will be valued by Chen Zhengde. With your strategy and talent, you will be respected as a genius and will be recommended as a crown prince. What do you think?"

The two looked at each other, and Li Jing hurriedly said, "This idea is good. If Chen Zhengde takes the initiative to win us over, it is best to let him go three times. The more you can't get it, the easier it is to cherish it. Moreover, with Bian Yi's appearance and eloquence, it will attract Chen Zhengde. This plan will be accomplished. Bian Yi, this is the important task assigned to you by Your Highness. Cherish it and work hard."

Bian Yi was a little confused. He didn't expect Li Jing to be so dark and directly blamed him. So he hurriedly said, "No, no, I am a monk. I am not a monk. I am not as convenient as a pharmacist. Look at your outfit, you are a wanderer in the world. Moreover, you are both civil and military, so you will not be suspected."

"Bian Yi, now you think of yourself as a monk? Have you ever thought about it when you drink? Have you ever thought about it when you eat meat?" Li Jing sneered.

Bian Yi said calmly: "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha stays in his heart. What I monks drink is not wine, but meat, but the world of perception. The world is full of infatuation and deep love, and sometimes gathering and separation..."

"Ahem..." Li Jing was shocked and stared at Bian Yi in amazement.

Yang Shuang was so happy that the golden song she hummed accidentally was remembered by Bian Yi, and she sang it very well.

This monk has really changed. He doesn’t know whether it is right or wrong to make him a twelve earthly branches.

"Okay, stop making trouble! You two must go one, or you should use the most fair way to compete. Two wins in three games, whoever loses will go!" Yang Shuang made the final decision.

Li Jing and Bian Yi nodded, and their eyes began to be solemn, staring at each other. When the atmosphere became extremely depressing, the two of them took action at the same time.

"Scissors!"

"cloth!"

Li Jing stretched out his scissors hand and waved proudly, "Bian Yi, sorry, I accept the first game with a smile!"

Bian Yi snorted: "I just let you, come again!"

"Scissors!"

"Stone!"

At this time, it was Bian Yi's turn to shake his fist proudly and snorted: "Pharmacist, I guess you would think I would use the same trick again!"

Li Jing curled his lips.

Next is the final battle.

"Stone!"

"Scissors!"

"Haha..." Li Jing smiled proudly, and he won the victory in this fierce competition.

Bian Yi sighed lightly and could only accept his fate.

"Your Highness, although I am proficient in Buddhism, martial arts, tea ceremony, flower arrangement, salvation, calligraphy, calligraphy, painting, talismans, cooking, and washing clothes... I am not good at poetry. There will inevitably be many literati in tomorrow's poetry meeting, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to make a splash." Bian Yi said worriedly.

Yang Shuang stared at him, "Damn it a praising her or a demoting her?" She's so shameless.

"Leave the poems to me! It will surely make you awesome!" Yang Shuang said.

Bian Yi nodded, then stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I will prepare for it."

"What are you preparing?" This time it was Li Jing's turn to wonder. Isn't it just a poetry gathering? Do you still need to prepare?

Bian Yi said calmly: "I need to take a shower and change my clothes and repair my bald head. Alas, how can I see people with such ugly face?"

Yang Shuang:...

Li Jing:...

The two of them felt very painful in their hearts and really wanted to cut this guy alive.

......

The Great Sui Dynasty Kyoto.

It has been a month since Yang Shuang left Kyoto, and nothing major happened during this period.

The storm of the death of the King of Qin and the deposed King of Wei has gradually subsided. The remaining four kings live honestly and dare not show any intention of struggle, because what the Emperor Sui is most disgusted with is the tragedy of brothers.

In addition, Yang Liang and Yang Xiu were also out of sight, thinking that they were no match for Yang Guang and Yang Yong, and they were even more unwilling to take the initiative to provoke.

The calm situation also made Emperor Sui feel much better.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and a news from Gao Yong dissipated the good mood of Emperor Sui.

"What? The Ming King is missing?" Emperor Sui said in shock.

Gao Feng said: "Report to Your Majesty, the master who sent a secret escort Your Highness the King of Ming to Luoyang with His Highness's carriage and horse, he found that the person in the car was not His Highness the King of Ming. His Highness said that he would visit everywhere to see the people's sentiments. As for where he went, there was no way to find it. It should be His Highness the King of Ming who escaped and took the others to other places."

"Nonsense! It's really nonsense! Although the Sui Dynasty is still peaceful, he, a prince, wanders around. What if he encounters danger? Send the imperial guards to find it!" The Sui Emperor looked anxious and quickly ordered.

Gao Bing saw the changes of Emperor Sui and lamented that His Majesty's attitude towards the Ming King had really changed. This love was from the heart and could not be disguised.

And these changes were not changed by Your Majesty, but by the Ming King.

Whether it is newspapers or fine salt, they are not items that ordinary people can imagine. It is not surprising that the Ming King can change His Majesty's attitude.

This made Gao Yang, a minister, very happy and even excited.

The Sui Dynasty has always given people the feeling that it is weaker than the other Three Kingdoms. In fact, whether it is national strength and financial strength, or the reputation of the emperor or prince, it is indeed weaker than that of the other Three Kingdoms.

How can a tiger sleep peacefully when lying beside the bed?

This is Gao Yang’s worries.

Now that he saw the performance of Ming Wang, Gao Yong felt confident.

There are kings of Qin who are good at fighting in the Tang Dynasty, and the kings of Ming in the Great Sui Dynasty are not bad.

These thoughts were just a moment, and Gao Yang came back to his senses and reported: "Your Majesty, you should not send the imperial guards to search! Once the news spreads, wouldn't it be easier to put Your Highness the King of Ming in a dangerous place? What's more, Your Highness the King of Ming follows Han Qinhu, Li Jing and others, as long as you don't encounter large-scale troops, you won't be in danger of your life."

Emperor Sui nodded and sighed: "You are right. I am concerned about it. This little thing said that he wanted to go to Luoyang to see me. Gao Bing, where do you think he will go?"

Gao Yang pondered carefully and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Highness, is meticulous and wise. Whether it is the refinement of fine salt, the promotion of newspapers, or the discovery of problems outside the pass, and personally took risks, everything is for the Great Sui Dynasty. Therefore, when you leave the capital this time, I feel that Your Highness is definitely not a trip, but for the foundation of the Great Sui Dynasty. Now, Your Highness is dispatched within the Great Sui Dynasty, and the country is rich and the people are strong, and there are frequent reports of good news outside the northern border. Yang Lin has led 6,000 imperial guards to the hinterland of the Khitan, making the Khitan feel like a thorn in his throat. It is impossible to retake Fuyu City. Therefore, there is no worries outside the North Pass. Then, Your Highness will either go to the south or the west when traveling this time."

After pausing, Gao Bing said again: "The Wei State in the south is eyeing it, but with the current naval forces of Wei State, there will be no big changes within a few years. Moreover, there is a natural barrier between the two countries, which is a natural barrier. In addition, with heavy troops in Jiang'antun, he is not afraid of the attack of Wei State. What's more, the Emperor Wei was suffering from a brain disease and was constantly fighting with Shu State, so the empress thinks that His Highness, the King of Ming, should not go south."

"Do you think he has gone to Tang State?" Emperor Sui's eyes were smooth.

Gao Yong nodded and said, "The situation in the Tang Kingdom is more subtle now, and it is a great time to plan. Only when the Tang Kingdom is in decline can the Sui Dynasty rest easy. Therefore, I guess that according to the character of His Royal Highness, the King of Ming, would go to Tang Kingdom for a while."

"Nonsense! This kid is really nonsense. Can he do this by his own efforts?" Emperor Sui couldn't help but scold. Although he was angry, there was no slight anger on his face.

The Emperor Sui was very proud of having such a minister who worked hard for the country.

Then, the Emperor Sui ordered: "Notify all the secret spies placed in Chang'an, be careful to find the whereabouts of the Ming King. If you find it, you must protect it. You must protect it even if you are exposed!"

"I understand that someone will immediately send a notice after leaving the palace." Gao Bing responded immediately, but then Gao Bing asked: "Your Majesty, if Your Highness Ming really has a clever plan, will you let those secret spies..."

Sui Huang's brow suddenly stretched, he chuckled, and said, "Of course we must cooperate with all our strength!"

After wasting so much time and effort and so many people died, several spies were allowed to take root in Chang'an and survive and climb to a certain height. They had a mission. If they encountered a suitable opportunity and needed to be exposed, they naturally had to try their best!
