Chapter 520: Qin Zhao Challenges Wei Ziang
Wei Ziang and Xu Jue went to ask to see Qin Zhao again, but were turned away again.
Wei Ziang was a little depressed.
In fact, I noticed Qin Zhao's arrogance the first time, but after all, he is a talented person, so it is normal for him to have a bit of temper. He has the capital to be arrogant...
However, the second time it happened, Wei Ziang felt that Qin Zhao was being disrespectful.
Qin Zhao writes such good articles, why is he such a person?
"Zi'ang, have you noticed that in the past few days, he has met all the students from other places who came to visit Qin Zhao, but he hasn't met any students from the Imperial College." Xu Jue said.
Wei Ziang nodded.
"In fact, students have always been divided into factions. The Imperial College students look down on those from other places, thinking they are ignorant and bookish. The Imperial College is full of powerful people, while the students from other places think that the Imperial College students are all uneducated and unskilled. The two sides look down on each other and are divided into two factions."
"We are all reading books of sages, why should we divide them into these categories?" Wei Ziang said sullenly.
Wei Ziang actually doesn't like intrigue. He is very smart and can see through many things. It's not that he can't do it, but that he doesn't want to.
In the novel, no one protected him. He was determined to avenge Wei Qing, so he did what he hated the most, scheming and plotting...
In this life, with his parents and Xu Jue protecting him, Wei Ziang still retains his childlike heart and doesn't really like this kind of intrigue.
He studied and entered the government because he wanted to use his talents to make the world peaceful, the rivers and seas calm, and the people live and work in peace and contentment!
"Now the students from other places are secretly led by Qin Zhao, and the Imperial College is led by you and me. Qin Zhao probably regards us as his rivals." Xu Jue said.
"We are no match for him. He doesn't even take us seriously." Wei Ziang said, feeling a little disappointed.
It's like someone you've always admired and respected, only to end up like this...
In fact, it cannot be said that the person has bad character, it’s just that their ideas are different and we can’t be friends.
Suddenly, two hands patted their shoulders.
Wei Ziang was startled and turned around, only to be met by a large face approaching.
It was Zhao Jingxuan.
Zhao Jingxuan is one year older than them. He is tall and strong, half a head taller than the two of them.
He stretched out his thumb and poked two people's cheeks, making two dimples.
"Why do you all have such stern faces? Come on, I'll take you out for a drink." Zhao Jingxuan said.
"I don't drink." Wei Ziang said.
"Green plum wine," Zhao Jingxuan said, "I'll pick green plums and try to make wine, and then I'll brew white snow and try the new tea. Don't you want to try it?"
Xu Jue glanced at the sullen Wei Ziang and said, "Since Brother Zhao can actually recite poetry, give him some face."
"Hey, hey, what do you mean by 'actually'? Is it surprising that I can recite poems?" Zhao Jingxuan said indignantly.
"Zi'ang, 'The virtue of moderation', which 'virtue' is it?" Xu Jue asked.
Wei Ziang rolled his eyes and said, "Of course it's the 'gain' in 'gain and loss are known to the heart.'" He said this with an innocent and confused look on his face, "Ah? Isn't that right?"
After Wei Ziang and Xu Jue finished speaking, they quickly ran forward before Zhao Jingxuan could react.
Before, Zhao Jingxuan wanted to copy Xu Jue's answer sheet, but Xu Jue deliberately wrote "德" as "得", so Zhao Jingxuan foolishly copied it down.
These two people sang in unison and told his embarrassing stories!
He was so angry!
Zhao Jingxuan reacted and quickly chased after him.
Three teenagers were running down the street.
After running like this, the annoyance in Wei Ziang's heart disappeared.
…
The next day, Qin Zhao issued a challenge, inviting the tenth-ranked person on the Qingfeng Pavilion list to engage in a debate.
This student from Liangzhou is well-known for his talent and is the best among the students from other places.
The names on the Qingfeng Pavilion list are all students from the Imperial College.
Therefore, this incident caused a great sensation and many students went to watch.
As a result, Qin Zhao won and his name was written in tenth place.
The students of the Imperial College were hit hard, but the students from other places were full of fighting spirit.
However, it is obvious that Qin Zhao's goal is obviously more than that.
He soon launched a second challenge, challenging the ninth place...
Then the third time, the fourth time...
Qin Zhao's ranking went up step by step and reached third place.
When Qin Zhao first challenged the tenth place, the students of the Imperial College thought he was self-aware. But he continued to move up step by step, suppressing the students of the Imperial College, as if stepping on them one by one, which was extremely insulting.
The students of the Imperial College were all holding their breath, while the students from other places were very proud.
Qin Zhao's move not only caused a great sensation among the students, but also attracted the attention of many nobles in the capital.
The name 'Qin Zhao' began to leave an impression on them and became the subject of their discussion.
Will the top scholar this time come from the Imperial College or from Liangzhou in the north?
Zhao Shu also heard this name.
One wrong step leads to all wrong.
After he chose to give up Tangli, everything went wrong.
Who could have imagined that she was actually General Gu's daughter? Whoever married her would have the support of the Gu family army. If he had this support, he could definitely compete with Lao Liu.
Not only that, her two adopted sons, Xu Jue and Wei Ziang, are so outstanding.
He even heard that the top scorer this time would definitely be one of Xu Jue and Wei Ziang.
If he marries Tang Li, these two men will definitely be loyal counselors.
He often regretted it in his dreams at midnight.
However, there are no ifs in life, and time cannot be reversed.
As the Spring Examination was approaching, Zhao Shu was in a very bad mood due to bad things happening one after another.
When Zhao Shu heard about Qin Zhao, he seemed to smell a hint of hope.
This top scholar may not be Tangli’s adopted son.
I hope Qin Zhao is the top scholar. It would be even better if he could win over this top scholar.
When Zhao Shu was playing chess with Jinse, he mentioned Qin Zhao.
"Your Highness, Qin Zhao came to the palace a few days ago." Jinse said.
Zhao Shu's eyes lit up and he became interested.
"Oh? What is he doing in the palace?" Zhao Shu asked curiously.
Jinse said, "Didn't I go to Feilai Temple to pay my respects a while ago? On my way back, I happened to see Qin Zhao being robbed, so I rescued him. Qin Zhao is a grateful man, and he came to thank me the day after he arrived in the capital."
"What a coincidence?" Zhao Shu said, his eyes thoughtful, no one knew what he was thinking.
"Yes, what a coincidence! He also gave me a painting. I think he is not an ordinary person and will achieve great things in the future." Jinse said.
Zhao Shu smiled and looked at Jinse with particularly gentle eyes.
"Find an opportunity to meet this student from Liangzhou." Zhao Shu said.
The opportunity will come soon.
Qin Zhao challenges Wei Ziang, the top of Qingfeng Pavilion!
The news quickly spread in the capital and caused a great sensation.
This debate is sure to be exciting.
Everyone is curious about who will win between Wei Ziang from the Imperial College and Qin Zhao from Liangzhou!
In Prince Rui's mansion, Jinse looked at Zhao Shu and said, "Your Highness, shall we go and take a look?"
Zhao Shu was still imprisoned and could not go out openly, but he could go secretly.
Zhao Shu nodded.
