"Brother Du, your sword-breaking method is not something that ordinary people can do. I didn't expect that seeing you dressed in a scholarly manner, I was also a martial arts practitioner. Come on, let's have a drink." Yuchi Baolin shouted with a glass of wine.

Cheng Chumo and Li Zhen looked at each other and smiled, "You don't know, Brother Du is a master. When we first met, he fought with five life-threatening bandits alone without losing the upper hand, and he still had bare hands. His boxing skills were very clever.

Dahei, I know your family’s boxing skills are good, but they may not be able to beat others.”

Oh? Everyone's eyes lit up. What happened? Yuchi Baolin stood up and was about to ask for a try and discuss it.

Du Shaoqing smiled bitterly and shook his head. Li Zhen's words obviously wanted to show his ugly words to help him liven up, so he had to nod and agreed. To be honest, it has been a few months since he traveled over to practice martial arts. Except for the first few times, he really has not been fighting with others. People who practice martial arts are surging, and they are very irritated from time to time. I want to compete with others. Du Shaoqing is no exception.

Yuchi Baolin's powerful family boxing technique made the tiger and tigers look strong. Du Shaoqing was weak and did not take advantage of hardness. Therefore, he used Bagua to swim his body and palms against the enemy, and hid a needle in the cotton in the other hand to make it superb. The audience around him applauded.

The two sides had nearly two hundred moves to compete. Yuchi Baolin suddenly stopped and gasped, "Don't fight anymore, don't fight anymore, what kind of boxing are you? You are like loaches, and I haven't even touched the corner of your clothes until now. If you continue fighting, I will probably be exhausted."

After a while, the two of them gained mutual recognition, but they formed friendship and became more close when they drank.

"Haha, I can only win by tricks if I don't have enough strength. This is called Bagua Wanbo Palm, which evolved from the sword technique." Du Shaoqing introduced.

"Oh? You still know how to sword skills? Come on, let's talk about it earlier. Let's try the sword skills." Yuchi Baoqing was interested and then stood up.

Du Shaoqing quickly waved his hand to beg for mercy: "I am very tired after a hard battle. I will compete with my sword skills again the next day. Let's continue to drink."

Everyone laughed, especially Yuchi Baolin, who thought the other party was far above him. Now it seems that he was just holding on.

In the palace, Emperor Li Er once again urged to investigate and count the progress of population genetic problems. However, in this era, the transmission of letters depends on horses. It is not so easy to count huge data. The household registration will not directly show whether there is a kinship relationship between husband and wife, the health of the children at home, etc., so it is very difficult and the court needs to send someone to visit them one by one.

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Qi is asking for a meeting." The eunuch Gao reported to Li Er.

"Oh? What is he doing at this time? If you want to see Wu'er, go directly. Do you need to report to your cousin? Bring him in." Li Er said in confusion.

Changsun Chong respectfully saluted the emperor, "Minist Changsun Chong has seen Your Majesty."

"Okay, Xiao Chong, there is no outsider, there is no need to be polite. Just call my uncle. What's the matter?" Li Er waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, it is not a private matter, but a public matter.

It was midsummer, and I thought that a grand poetry meeting could be held on Qujiangchi, which could add a little color to the hot summer. Secondly, if one or two talented people emerged from the poetry meeting, you could also select materials for the country. Thirdly, you could use this to encourage everyone's eagerness to learn.

This is the matter, so I came to ask Your Majesty for advice, is it feasible?"

Li Er pondered for a moment and asked in confusion: "This is a good thing, it's all right, but since it's official business, wouldn't it be enough to just go to the Ministry of Rites to discuss? Just look for me directly. Is it better to send it to the Ministry of Rites?"

"This... uncle, my nephew heard that the late Du Xiang found his eldest son named Du Shaoqing, who was a great talent, so he wanted to ask him for advice on his behalf and ask him to be qualified to participate in the poetry meeting. After all, he is still white now." Changsun Chong changed his name directly, and Li Er understood it immediately. It turned out to be this little Jiujiu.

He secretly felt funny in his heart. It was thought that these two guys had met. Changsun Chong wanted to use this method to humiliate the other party. It would be a good thing to let the boy retreat from Chang'an as soon as possible. So Li Er nodded and said, "Well, since that's the case, I'm sure. You can take my order to go to the Ministry of Rites later and ask them to organize this matter within three days. Five days later, the poems will be played in the Qujiang Lake and the king and his ministers."

After seeing the emperor, Changsun Chong went to Lizheng Hall to visit his aunt, Empress Changsun. Here he saw a strange little girl playing with Wei Zi. Princess Changle's eyes were not removed from the girl's body for a moment. Changsun Chong knew that this was the evil seed of her and Du Shaoqing.

Pressing the anger in his chest, Du Shaoqing greeted the queen and her daughter. The queen was quite close, but the princess ignored her.

"Cousin, I will hold a poetry meeting on Qujiangchi in a few days. My cousin is extremely talented in poetry and painting, but I must be there." Changsun Chong invited.

Princess Changle said lightly: "No need for cousin, my little sister has no time, so I won't go."

"That's not possible. If the Poetry Club lacks a talented woman like her cousin from the Tang Dynasty, it would be a great regret.

Moreover, in addition to the people we are familiar with, I have also invited many new talents in Chang'an, such as Doctor Du, who became famous for curing his aunt's illness, and..."

Changsun Chong absolutely did it on purpose. The princess frowned and the queen scolded loudly: "Okay, Xiaochong, since you want to hold a poetry meeting, hurry up and go and do it. It is not convenient for a man to be at his aunt's daughter's residence, so don't delay his future.

As for your cousin's affairs, if you have free time, I will support you."

This is just to mention the nephew. Changsun Chong didn't dare to offend his aunt, so he had to say goodbye respectfully and leave.

The princess said worriedly: "Mother, my cousin is obviously going to rush to him. Everyone knows that he has no knowledge. Will he be humiliated at the poetry meeting?

And he has a straightforward personality. If he can't bear the humiliation, wouldn't he be..."

The queen patted her daughter's back of her hand and comforted her: "Okay, okay, it's so anxious. Now she knows that the person she chose is incompetent? You are still rushing to marry him, that's true."

"Oh, Mother, have you agreed?"

"Hmph, I'm looking for a son-in-law for the sake of the child, and I want my mother-in-law to come and cure him?

I will write a letter in hand now, asking the great scholar Yu Shinan to come and help. Mr. Yu has a good relationship with Du Xiang and I think he will help him. As for whether he can seize this level in the past few days, I don’t know." The queen said.

The princess was stunned, "Ah? You didn't mean to ask Master Yu to go to the temporary class and let his husband learn and sell it now. How could he learn it in just a few days?"
