The next day.
Li Shimin announced that the Civil and Military Competition would be held the day after tomorrow. All the sons of famous families in Chang 'an City could participate.
At that time, one of the top three in the two competitions would be chosen to be Princess Changle's husband.
If someone could win the first place in both competitions, he would become Princess Changle's husband.
After the news reached the various aristocratic families, the young masters of the various aristocratic families were all excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Princess Changle was Li Shiming's beloved daughter. If he married her, he would definitely have a good career.
By marrying into the royal family, the family would instantly rise to a higher level.
Even if these benefits were not mentioned, Princess Chang Le was still a beautiful woman.
Although Princess Chang Le had always been in the palace and not many people had seen her, this did not affect the fantasies of these aristocratic young masters.
To be able to marry such a beauty, he would have no regrets in his life.
Ever since they learned of this news, many young masters of the aristocratic families went crazy. Those who studied literature buried their heads in books or visited famous scholars in the literary world. Those who practiced martial arts also worked hard or studied all kinds of military books.
There were also quite a number of profligate sons who were strictly forbidden by their parents to go out. They stayed at home and crammed for the last minute. Although their parents knew that the chances were not high, the contents of the competition had not been announced yet. It was hard to guarantee that there would not be a lucky encounter.
The news spread more and more widely, and in the end, even the commoners knew about this major event.
Some of the nosy commoners began to guess who would be able to marry the princess through the competition. Some thought it would be the Zhangsun family, while others thought it would be the Du family.
Many gambling dens took advantage of this opportunity to set up a gambling house to bet on who could become Princess Chang Le's husband. Many people participated in it, and the amount of money was shocking.
The ones who placed the most bets were the popular candidates for the competition, such as Zhangsun Chong, Du He, and the like.
Then, another shocking piece of news suddenly spread out.
State Duke Lu's fourth son, Cheng Chu Yu, announced that he would challenge all the young masters of the aristocratic families who participated in the competition and defeat them all!
As soon as the news spread, the entire Chang 'an Fortress was in an uproar.
Who was Cheng Chuyu?
He was a well-known playboy in Chang 'an!
He was known as the 'Little Demon King of Chaos!'
A hedonistic son of a rich family actually threatened to defeat all the young masters of the aristocratic families. Was this possible?
Almost no one was optimistic about Cheng Chuyu. They were all waiting to see Cheng Chuyu make a fool of herself in the competition!
Cheng Chu Yu's actions had also angered many young masters of the aristocratic families. They all responded that they would make Cheng Chu Yu lose in the competition!
He had to let Cheng Chuyu know the gap between him and them!
There were also many young masters from aristocratic families who did not take it seriously at all. After hearing the news, they only sneered.
How could an ignorant and incompetent rich playboy be compared to these elites?
He was just a clown who wanted to please the public!
At the same time, Cheng Chuyu's odds in the gambling house had also become 500:1. Although the odds were shocking, there were very few people who were optimistic about Cheng Chuyu, so there were very few people who bet on him winning.
......
......
Cheng Manor.
In the lobby.
"There's a rumor going around saying that you've spread the word that you're going to challenge all the young masters of the aristocratic families. Is this news really spread by you?”
Seeing Cheng Chuyu nod and admit it, Cheng Yaojin realized that he was getting more and more confused about his son.
"What do you want?" Cheng Yaojin frowned. What good does that do you?"
Cheng Chuyu smiled and said,"Big Brother and the others suffered a lot of cold gazes because of me in the officialdom, but they never blamed me." I've never done anything for this family, so I want to take this opportunity to be high-profile.”
"Tell everyone that even if I'm a good-for-nothing, I can easily trample them under my feet.”
"It's also to let big brother and the others hold their heads high. They don't have to be coldly looked down on because of this good-for-nothing younger brother of mine.”
"Are you really that confident that you can defeat everyone in the competition?" Cheng Yaojin hesitated for a moment before he asked. Do you know that if you lose, you might not be able to raise your head for the rest of your life?”
Cheng Chuyu knew the consequences of losing, but he didn't think he would lose. He smiled and said,""Don't worry, dad. Since I dare to do this, I'm sure I'll win.”
Cheng Yaojin nodded and sighed. His eyes were deep."Alright, then father won't say anything more. You're already an adult, so you won't be as reckless as you were when you were young.”
In fact, Cheng Yaojin did not know Cheng Chuyu very well. In his impression, his son was born smart, but he was very playful. When he was young, he went to the Imperial College to study for less than ten days and was sent home because of his stubbornness.
Later on, he hired a teacher, but it was still useless. In a few days, a few teachers were angered away.
Cheng Yaojin didn't invite her again and could only let Mrs. Cheng discipline her personally, but the effect was minimal.
In terms of martial arts, Cheng Chuyu was very diligent in learning, and his talent was not bad. However, he learned it to fight with others, and he had beaten other people's children black and blue.
In recent years, because of the war, he had no time to pay attention to Cheng Chuyu. He only knew that Cheng Chuyu had caused a lot of trouble and did not know anything else.

......
Around evening, a group of 'guests' arrived at the Cheng Manor.。
