These two people with the highest status at the scene actually started to fight with each other, and everyone was shocked.
Lu Huairen's face looked even uglier than if his own mother had died. King Kang and Shang Jijiu simply ignored him.
Seeing that both of them were about to get angry, Zhao Hao hurried forward to try to mediate.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Shang, why don't you two stop arguing and take a look at Lv Huairen's poems first, and let us decide the winner of our literary duel!"
Hearing what Zhao Hao said, Lu Huairen almost shed tears.
What's going on? I feel a little touched.
Shang Lao snorted, "What the hell, with the level of the two poems you wrote today, who in the entire country can beat you?"
King Kang also said: "That's right, don't look at it, you won the literary duel today! Mr. Shang, please be aware of your identity..."
Shang Lao said angrily, "I don't care, Your Majesty, don't take advantage of my old eyesight. The two poems written by Zhao Xiaozi are written in an unusual style. You actually want to keep them for yourself. You are so greedy!"
King Kang was completely convinced. He didn't expect that this old man was nearly 70 years old and yet he was still so strong.
He didn't dare to use too much force. If he really hurt the old man, it would be a big deal.
"Alright, alright, you old thing, I'll give you one copy, isn't that enough? Let go!"
"Humph, that's more like it!"
After receiving the first autumn poem written by Zhao Hao from King Kang, he hurriedly sat down at the desk and began to read it as if he had found a treasure.
King Kang glared at him with a pained look on his face: "Old man, can you go home and watch it later?"
After being called by him several times, Shang Henshui reluctantly withdrew his gaze, carefully folded the paper and stuffed it into his chest.
King Kang looked away speechlessly, and then said to everyone, "Okay, the literary duel between Zhao and Lu is over."
He looked at Lu Huairen and said, "Young man from the Lu family, the result of the literary contest has just been announced by me and Mr. Shang. If you have any objections, you can present your poem and let everyone present judge it."
Lu Huairen's face was so ugly that it was beyond description. His hands were clenched into fists and his whole body seemed to be shaking.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Shang, I have no objection. I... admit defeat!"
He didn't have the courage to recite his works in public.
Compared with Zhao Hao's poems, it is far inferior.
If it is really read out, it is a humiliation.
King Kang smiled and said, "Okay, since there are no objections, then the result is set. Next, the literary competition will officially begin. You can write poems at will. The topics are still autumn poems and frontier poems."
Zhao Hao hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty."
King Kang smiled and said, "Young man from the Zhao family, do you have anything else to say?"
His favorability towards Zhao Hao has skyrocketed, and he looks at Zhao Hao as if he is looking at his most beloved concubine.
Zhao Hao smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Lu Huairen beside him.
"Brother Huairen, I didn't expect that I would win by chance. You said that this matter has caused a lot of trouble. I am really embarrassed. Um, can you give me the 100 strings of cash?"
Lu Huairen stared at Zhao Hao, his teeth chattering.
"I will of course give you the money, but I don't have it with me at the moment. I will send it to your house later!"
He never thought that he would lose, so of course he didn't take any money with him.
When Zhao Hao heard this, he was a little unhappy, but when he thought about the occasion, he didn't say much.
"Okay, then don't forget it. I'm in urgent need of money now. If you don't send it to me today, I'll send someone to get it tomorrow!"
After paying his respects to King Kang and Shang Henshui, he took Su Si and left under the gaze of everyone.
Looking at his departing back, everyone was speechless for a long time, and even had no mood to continue the literary meeting.
Many people wanted to write poems before, and some even had already finished their poems and were waiting to become famous at literary conferences, but now no one wants to present their poems.
Today, no one can surpass these two poems that are famous all over the world, and there is no way to talk about fame at all.
After leaving Juxian Tower, Zhao Hao put his hands behind his back and walked home with a rather unhappy pace, while Su Si and the maid followed behind him.
At this moment, Su Si's eyes were still full of disbelief when she looked at Zhao Hao.
Winner!
Zhao Hao actually won!
Others may not know, but she knows very well that Zhao Hao did not ask anyone to write poems for him. He wrote those two poems himself.
This is unbelievable!
How could he have such incredible attainments in literature and art?
Su Si put all her attention on Zhao Hao and wanted to see Zhao Hao thoroughly from inside out.
…
Before they even got home, the entire process of the literary fight had spread like a whirlwind.
Imperial Palace, Yuxiu Pavilion.
Princess Yongning, who had just received the news, widened her eyes in shock.
"What? That bad guy Zhao Hao actually beat Lu Huairen?"
Xiaotao nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, Princess. Zhao Hao really won. He wrote two poems that were known all over the world, and even caused King Kang and Shang Jijiu to fight over them in public."
Princess Yongning stood up suddenly and said angrily, "How can this be? If you don't have the ability, then don't bother to organize a literary duel. It's simply not shameful enough! I'm so angry, I'm really so angry!"
Xiao Tao took out the copied poems and said, "Princess, these are two poems written by Zhao Hao. Would you like to take a look?"
Princess Yongning raised her beautiful eyes and snorted, "Look, why don't you look? Bring it to me. I want to see what he wrote!"
Xiao Tao hurriedly put the two poems away, and Princess Yongning frowned and began to recite them.
As soon as I read it, I was deeply attracted by the poem.
I finally understood why Zhao Hao won.
The outcome of these two poems would be no suspense at all, let alone in a literary contest with a mere Lü Huairen, or even with any other poet.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly turned around and looked at Xiao Tao: "No! How could that bad guy write such a poem? He must have hired someone to write it for him!"
Xiao Tao nodded repeatedly: "Princess, you are right. He must have asked someone to write it for him. Otherwise, how could he write a poem? I just don't know who wrote it for him!"
Princess Yongning gritted her teeth and said, "Send someone to investigate. We must find out who wrote the poems for us. This person is extremely talented. How could he be reduced to writing poems for useless people? We must rescue this talented person!"
Xiao Tao said with some embarrassment: "Princess, this may not be easy to investigate. For something like this, Zhao Hao must have hidden it very secretly."
Bang!
Princess Yongning's pretty face turned cold, and she slammed the table and stood up: "We have to investigate. If we can't find this great talent, it will be a huge loss for our Dagan!"
Xiao Tao said, "But Princess, we have no way to investigate!"
Princess Yongning hesitated for a moment, then shouted angrily: "Then I will go ask that bad guy Zhao Hao directly!"
Xiao Tao's eyes widened immediately: "Ah? Princess, you want to ask directly? That bad guy won't tell you, right?"
Princess Yongning sneered: "If he dares, I will ask him in person, how many of him dare to hide it?"
