"Da Li sent five Tianwei masters to Kyoto, plus the masters from the other parties, this time the Tianwei sent by each party exceeded 20. It seems that they have formed a tacit understanding and seem to have come specially for me!"
In Changsheng Temple, Pei Xuanjing put down the news delivered from the Prince's Mansion and thought to himself.
This Kyoto competition is a grand occasion for the empire to show its national prestige. It has been started since the previous dynasty.
Although it was interrupted for some reasons, it was resumed again after Emperor Taizong attacked the barbarians and the four parties came to pay tribute. It has been going on for hundreds of years now.
However, according to the old rules in the past, all the envoys from all parties entering the empire will be protected, so generally each party will only send no more than two Tianwei.
Now that so many strong people have come, I am afraid no one will believe that they are just to protect their own envoys.
According to the speculation of the counselors in the Prince's Mansion, it should be that Pei Xuanjing's talent is too amazing. The talent he has shown now makes many people think that he may have the opportunity to step into the realm of heaven and man, and at worst he is also a strong man who has half a foot in the realm of heaven and man.
Now that a peerless genius who may enter the realm of heaven and man has appeared, how can it not make all parties terrified and regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and wish to get rid of him as soon as possible.
You know, the strong men of heaven are also called the broken army level, and they can easily defeat a legion without the same strong men.
With the strength shown by Pei Xuanjing on the grassland that day, he was able to defeat the famous Chiyang Cavalry led by Helian Qingtian, which was frightening, and it was clear that the opponent's strength was beyond imagination.
The current empire suppresses the four directions. Although it has declined compared to the reign of Emperor Taizong, it is still powerful, and the pressure is so strong that all parties are breathless. Only Dali can fight with it a little.
So no one is willing to accept the empire to have such a strong man again, even if Pei Xuanjing cannot ascend to heaven and man in the future, even if he is just a strong man like the supervisor of the Imperial Observatory, it is something that all forces are unwilling to accept.
In the East Palace, the prince said to his brother-in-law, Wei Tao, who had escorted Pei Xuanjing to the capital, "From now on, you will personally accompany Mr. Pei when he comes to the palace."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Wei Tao clasped his fists and accepted the order.
Even though he was older than Pei Xuanjing, the prince still addressed Pei Xuanjing as Mr. It can be said that he was very considerate in terms of etiquette, and no one could fault him.
As the prince of a country, it is reasonable that there are countless talented people under him, and countless people will come to curry favor with him and obey his orders.
But in fact, it is not the case, because His Royal Highness knows in his heart that the prince of the empire is far less glorious than outsiders imagine. After all, the crown prince is the crown prince after all, not the real monarch. His every word and action will be watched by countless people, waiting for him to make a mistake, and then pull him down from above and replace him.
All he can do is to be cautious in the position of the crown prince, and not give anyone the opportunity to catch his handle.
And the most bizarre thing is that since the previous dynasty, it seems that the crown prince was not stable at the beginning, and the competition for the crown prince was extremely fierce, and they often fought to the death.
In addition, the old events of Emperor Taizong made the emperor very wary of his crown prince and princes, and many princes were also on guard and suspicious of each other.
As a crown prince, you cannot have too much power, so as not to cause the emperor to suppress you. But if you don’t have power, how can you deal with the challenges of those princes?
This Pei Min was born in the Hedong Pei family. He has a clean and reliable origin, outstanding talents, and strong strength. He is a trustworthy helper for the crown prince. He dare not have the slightest slackness.
Half a month passed in a flash, and soon it was the day of the Kyoto competition.
This Kyoto competition is divided into seven days in total. The first four days are for the selection of students from various states and roads in the empire, and then the selected talents will participate in the real competition in the last three days.
Some exams are similar to the imperial examinations. At first, everyone is selected together, and then the palace examination is conducted.
The difference is that the imperial examination is a palace test to determine the ranking, while the martial arts competition takes three days.
The venue for the last three days of the competition is in a garden of the royal family in the suburbs of the city. In fact, it is nominally a garden, but in fact it is a hunting ground of the royal family, located under the Qinling Mountains.
The emperor and all civil and military officials will attend the three-day competition in person, and many princes and princesses in Kyoto, princes and dukes of the royal family, and dukes and marquises of the noble family will participate.
It can be said that almost all the dignitaries of the entire empire have gathered. Many people think that as long as they can enter the last three days of the competition, they will be seen by the upper-class bigwigs of the empire.
In the competitions of previous years, there are many people who have lost, but have been favored by bigwigs, received investment and training, and their martial arts path has been opened all the way, and finally ascended to the heavenly position.
After all, this is a competition to select the young generation of geniuses and to train heavenly strongmen. Although Pei Xuanjing is only sixteen years old, Pei Xuanjing has now been promoted to the heavenly position and has no way to participate in this competition.
Even after Pei Xuanjing was promoted to the Heavenly Position, the original position was filled by a new person.
Pei Xuanjing did not care about the first four days of the competition. When the last three days of the competition were about to begin, Wei Tao personally welcomed him into the East Palace and followed the prince to the competition site.
After waiting for the prince's carriage to arrive, the prince invited Pei Xuanjing: "Why don't you come with me, sir?"
"Okay!" Pei Xuanjing did not refuse.
Pei Xuanjing followed the prince to sit on the high platform. Apart from the high platform reserved for the emperor and empress, this was the second best place for the surrounding view.
In addition to Pei Xuanjing, the officials of the East Palace under the prince also sat here one by one. Looking around, there were already people waiting on the high platforms around.
Pei Xuanjing's appearance also attracted the attention of countless people. Many people wanted to see the demeanor of this sixteen-year-old Tianwei strongman.
"Is he Pei Min?"
"Sixteen-year-old Tianwei strongman, so terrifying!"
"Feng Shen is like jade, and extraordinary."
"Just don't know if this person has ever had an engagement?"
"."
With Pei Xuanjing's keen perception, these words naturally could not escape his ears, but he did not care about it, and sat down with a calm face.
"Today, there are many masters!" Pei Xuanjing could feel that there were many masters here today. He could feel the aura of seven or eight Tianwei masters alone.
As Pei Xuanjing's eyes swept over, those people also seemed to have some feelings, and nodded slightly to Pei Xuanjing to show their goodwill. Pei Xuanjing also smiled and nodded.
Thanks again to the book friend Taixiao Daojun for the reward.
Last month, more than 173,000 words were updated, which is considered to have achieved the goal.
