Chapter 45

He kept winking at him, telling him not to ruin his plan.

"Father Emperor, this was invented by this son, I have the right to decide, please grant this son's wish!"

"There are no cowards among the princes of Great Qin! A prince of Great Qin keeps his word!"

"This competition today is set, otherwise if it spreads, this son's reputation will be ruined!"

Ying Zheng saw the look from this kid and was somewhat speechless.

Reputation, huh.

It had been ruined who knows how many years ago.

Where does he have any reputation left now?

Even if there was a reputation, it was just some negative reputation.

But seeing him so confident, he should have a way to deal with it.

But wouldn't this be too risky?

After weighing the pros and cons, Ying Zheng decided to let go.

It's rare for this son to have such responsibility, and considering his merit today, he shouldn't stop him.

Besides, this son has been quite reliable in handling things recently.

Besides, this is his territory.

He made up his mind that if Ying Zi Ye loses later.

He'll just find an excuse to take back the technology to manufacture Xuan paper; who would dare to disobey?

"Alright! Ye'er is right, a Great Qin prince keeps his word!"

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye with gratification.

Feng Quji and Chunyu Yue saw that Your Majesty had agreed.

Although they felt Your Majesty's attitude was a bit strange, the value of Xuan paper was too high.

And they were in the camp of Prince Fu Su and Prince Yan.

Even if they won, they weren't afraid of Your Majesty going back on his word.

The camps of Prince Fu Su and Prince Yan launched their first cooperation.

If they win, both sides will share the technology to manufacture Xuan paper.

If they lose, they will pay six million coins!

Six million coins, this is a sky-high price.

Their ten-year salary is about three million.

That is to say, if they lose, and they each pay half, it will be ten years of salary!

This can be considered a shocking gamble.

Chunyu Yue was full of smiles; competing in calligraphy with the Ninth Prince, they were bound to win!

They couldn't solve the two problems Your Majesty mentioned either.

But for this calligraphy, they were confident that Ying Ying Zi Ye would lose.

After all, they had heard of the Ninth Prince's reputation.

Although this bet was a bit strange, why the Ninth Prince would make such a bet.

But they were attracted by the benefits before them and didn't think much about it.

They just thought the Ninth Prince was bored.

"Alright! This humble official and the Right Chancellor will represent Prince Fu Su and Prince Yan to bet against the Ninth Prince!"

Chunyu Yue said this lightly, while secretly rejoicing inside.

The ministers were beating their chests and stamping their feet, feeling they had lost an opportunity to get super rich.

But who told them their official positions weren't as high as the two sides?

They could only mutter to vent their dissatisfaction.

And old General Wang Jian and other military generals didn't get involved.

This could be considered a game of chess between the princes.

Although they were eager for the Xuan paper manufacturing technology.

They didn't want to risk being suspected by Your Majesty by getting involved.

"Old General Wang, who do you think will win?"

Meng Yi on the side was also a curious person.

Since he was free, he might as well see what the old man Wang had to say.

"Something's not right, just watch quietly."

Wang Li looked at his grandfather, who was acting deep.

"I guess the Ninth Prince..."

Before he could finish, he was slapped on the back of the head by Wang Jian.

"You bastard, this is no place for you to speak, just watch honestly."

Wang Li rubbed the back of his head and bared his teeth.

"Grandfather, can you give me some face in the imperial court..."

Before Wang Li could finish, he was glared back by Wang Jian.

Scaring him into silence.

Wang Jian was silent; he felt that the Ninth Prince was not simple.

They seemed to have overlooked a problem.

The Ninth Prince said this Xuan paper was invented by him.

Can someone who can invent such a heavy weapon for the country be simple?

This was also the main reason he stopped Wang Li from speaking.

Ying Zheng took back the dozens of precious sheets of Xuan paper.

Such good things, he didn't want others to use them.

Who knows when the next batch will be made.

He scanned the court.

Seeing that the ministers were all impatient.

"Competition begins!"

The princes heard this.

They picked up their brushes and started writing on the Xuan paper.

For their Father Emperor's two questions, they wrote down their own insights.

The ministers in the court quieted down and watched quietly.

In their view, the Ninth Prince was bound to lose.

And Ying Ying Zi Ye took out another sheet of Xuan paper.

He picked up his brush and wrote a line of characters on the Xuan paper.

"Father Emperor, this son is finished."

In just a moment, Ying Ying Zi Ye had written his answer.

The ministers looked at each other, and then all showed a smile.

The Ninth Prince was so fast, he was bound to lose!
