Dark horse wins!

The atmosphere in the audience was so lively just now, and everyone was toasting loudly. These poems by Liu Zheng made everyone forget what they were doing.

Then I suddenly realized.

This prodigal son, known to the whole city, actually won?

The whole place suddenly fell silent.

Then, there was the sound of wine glasses falling.

Then, the whole place was in an uproar.

"impossible......"

"How is this possible!"

"He is so talented?"

There were thousands of people in the audience with different expressions. Some were shocked, some were regretful, some were holding their heads, and some were roaring.

In short, no one is willing to accept the reality in front of them.

Liu Zheng actually won...

Chen Ping also took a deep breath. The situation before him was something he had not expected.

"Silence, silence!"

The counselor shouted several times, and then the whole place became silent.

The counselor glanced at Liu Zheng: "Congratulations to Liu Zheng, the son of Liu Xianghou, for successfully winning the first prize in this poetry competition!"

Sparse applause.

Liu Zheng didn't take it seriously, clasping his fists and laughing: "Chengzhengzheng, let's eat and drink well! Chen Taishou? What do you say?"

Then, he looked at Chen Ping on the stage with a smile. He also looked at Chen Ruoshi like Brother Zhu, and his blasphemy became more and more obvious.

Such shameless behavior naturally attracted all kinds of abuse.

Liu Zheng didn't care, he chuckled and said: "My eyes have been like this since I was a child. You can call it nature, or you can call it habit. In short, I won, didn't I? Miss Chen?"

Chen Ruoshi, just now she had been immersed in the illusion created by Liu Zheng's poems...

"When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will defeat countless people in the world..."

She was a little crazy when she heard it.

At this time, when Liu Zheng called his name, he let out a sigh, as if he was waking up from a dream.

"You... are a scumbag! Dad, I..."

Chen Ruoshi's face turned pale and her words were a little incoherent.

How could this prodigal son be so talented?

She was so confused at this time that she didn't know how to reject him.

Chen Ping waved his hand and signaled his daughter to be silent for the time being. Then he looked at Liu Zheng and tried his best to use his kind smile and said: "My nephew is really talented in literature! Since I won, I should fulfill the rewards and punishments."

"Can't!"

"Prefect Chen, Miss Chen has a heavenly beauty and a beautiful heart. You must never marry such a prostitute!"

"I am willing to kill him with one sword and pay for my life with my life!"

These talented people are all kinds of monsters.

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes.

Forget it if young people make trouble! Why are you, a sixty-year-old man, beating your chest and beating your chest?

But there were soldiers at the scene to maintain order, so they couldn't really bring swords in. Most of them just wanted to show off their anger and beauty.

Chen Ping ignored them, looked at Liu Zheng and said calmly: "I just don't know, what does my wise nephew want me to promise you?"

Liu Zheng chuckled upon hearing this, with a cynical smile on his face: "My father-in-law, my son-in-law is so polite!"

"you......"

"presumptuous!"

"Let me kill him!"

The whole audience roared with rage, without exception.

Chen Ping's face darkened even more. Next to him, Chen Ruoshi's face was pale and she was about to cry without tears.

"Son, what are you doing... You must not do this! This old man Chen Ping is not a good person!"

Liu Dahao was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He pulled Liu Zheng's arm and whispered a reminder.

In this matter, if Liu Zheng insists on doing this, it will be a big problem.

Liu Zheng deliberately laughed loudly and said: "Father, what nonsense are you talking about? Is there anything better than becoming the prefect's son-in-law? This is a combination of fame and fortune!"

"Shameless!"

"Such a villain..."

"You, a seven-foot-tall man, actually want to be your son-in-law?"

These words made the whole crowd angry again.

Chen Ping chuckled: "My dear nephew, having said that, I also appreciate your talent. However, it is a major matter of marriage and we are in love. We agreed beforehand that if the little girl has no intention of doing anything good, we will do it by another means.

Rewarding, isn’t it?”

Only then did everyone remember that there was this rule.

Chen Ruoshi looked confused at this time.

The look in Liu Zheng's eyes was extremely complicated.

Liu Zheng then said: "What the prefect said is to unconditionally agree to my request? No distinction between thick and thin?"

Only then did people show mocking looks. It turned out that this guy was just trying to advance before retreating, in order to get more benefits from the prefect.

Dandy boy!

Little clever!

Chen Ping smiled faintly: "That's true. It's just that all the millions of silver dollars yesterday were sent to the front line. It would be really difficult for my nephew to help your father get the inheritance!"

Black-hearted thief!

Old melon skin!

Liu Zheng scolded the eighteen generations of Chen Ping's ancestors in his heart. He made a sad look on his face, clasped his fists and lowered his head: "Master Taishou, Liu Zheng acted like a liar yesterday, which is really wrong. This time he repented. I thought, as the old saying goes,

Talking about old people, old people and old people..."

Chen Ping's head was as big as a fight after hearing this, and he immediately said: "But thinking that Liu Xianghou's contribution to the reinforcement of grain and grass can be regarded as a great contribution to the stability of Liangzhou, I have decided that the family property will not be returned, but the title will be promoted to the county marquis

,how?"

Liu Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this, which was beyond his expectation.

He originally thought that he would show off his power in today's Poetry Festival, and if he could keep the title of Marquis of his father's hometown, he would have made a profit. Unexpectedly, his move of advancing and retreating actually allowed Liu Dahao's title to be directly promoted to the title of County Marquis!

The Longyan Dynasty started with the title of Marquis of the Country, Marquis of the County, Marquis of the State, then the Marquis of Champion, Marquis of Guannei, Marquis of Guanwai, etc., then to the princes, and then to the princes.

In recent years, the Longyan Dynasty's finances have been tight.

In desperation, the emperor liberalized the titles of rural and county marquis to make money. To put it simply... rich people can buy them with money. These two titles were even given to Dazhou

The authority of the prefect and governor - if you can sell it and get the money back to me, you will also be rewarded. So the Longyan Dynasty, the township and county magistrates, began to become like a crucian carp crossing the river, becoming a bad thing on the street.

It’s starting to become less popular, and it’s not even as good as the previous title holder!

Township Marquis is the lowest, equivalent to an honorary title, with a slight official status. But County Marquis is different, it will have a fief! It is directly equivalent to a county magistrate in the future!

A rural marquis cost Liu Dahao one million silver coins. This is equivalent to another one million, directly a county marquis?

It’s a profit, it’s a profit!

He was ecstatic in his heart, but showed no emotion on the surface. Liu Zheng's face was full of disappointment: "Ah? Lord Prefect, is that it? Can I choose Miss Chen again? I still feel..."

"presumptuous!"

Chen Ping shouted angrily.

Chen Ruoshi also had a look of embarrassment on her face.

Other talented people scolded the wolf for his ambition, and his heart was worth killing.

After Liu Dahao pulled him several times, Liu Zheng shook his head and sighed: "In that case, I wonder, Lord Prefect, which county would you give my father?"

He raised his head and pretended to be greedy.

Everyone was even more disdainful.

Chen Ping also had a general assessment of this boy, and he was more contemptuous in his heart. He laughed and said: "There are no county magistrates in the three prefectures and counties of Liangzhou. Why don't you choose one by yourself?"
