chapter 2
"It's good to be right! It's good to be right!"
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince is so neat!"
When the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty came to their senses, they all shouted excitedly. Obviously, they did not expect that the problem from Da Chu would be solved by Tang Yu.
Prime Minister Xu Shize was shocked and said: "It's not just neat, it's absolutely absolute, it will be eternal!"
Hearing that Tang Yu got it right, Tang Huang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, Tang Huang was secretly surprised. When did his youngest son, who had always been the most unlucky, learn to couplets?
"Yu'er, not bad!" Tang Huang calmly praised while suppressing his inner surprise.
"Thank you, Father!"
After being praised by Emperor Tang, Tang Yu bowed to Emperor Tang.
Seeing Emperor Tang's cheerful face, Tang Yu was secretly happy. It seemed that his cheap father treated him differently. As long as he behaved well, it shouldn't be a problem to secure his position as the crown prince.
"This Tang Yu actually matched up? Isn't it said that Tang Yu, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, is a loser who only knows how to live in debauchery?"

"This...I don't know..."
Tang Yu wrote the second line, and all the envoys from Chu, who were originally so proud, felt as if they had eaten dead flies.
Princess Chu Ningyu stared at Tang Yu's beautiful eyes with amazement. She looked at Tang Yu carefully, but she saw that Tang Yu had a face like a crown of jade, red lips and white teeth, and a jade tree facing the wind. Apart from his handsome appearance, there was nothing special about him. place.
Before coming, Chu Ningyu had a basic understanding of the Tang royal family. She knew that among the nine sons of the Tang emperor, the third prince, Tang Shuheng, had the highest literary attainments.
The couplet had just come out, and the third prince Tang Shuheng was eclipsed. She thought that winning Yangzhou City of the Tang Dynasty was a sure thing this time, but she never expected that Tang Yu would appear as a variable.
The next moment, Tang Yu looked at Chu Ningyu with a joking look on his face and said, "Princess Ningyu, what do you think of my second line?"
"I have to say that His Highness Tang Yu is different from the rumors. I am mistaken!"
Chu Ningyu sneered: "However, Your Highness Tang Yu doesn't have to be complacent. This match was a win-win-win-out-of-three-game match. Just now it was just our first alliance with Chu!"
"That's right, don't be complacent!"
After Chu Ningyu finished speaking, a group of envoys from Dachu shouted arrogantly.
Tang Yu said with a look of disdain: "His Royal Highness has just said, let alone one couplet, even ten or a hundred couplets are a piece of cake for me, come up with the next one!"
Chu Ningyu's Qi was rising and falling. Among the seven kingdoms, her Chu Empire was the strongest, especially her. She was the most beloved princess of Emperor Chu. She was disdained by Tang Yu, and Chu Ningyu's Qi was not affected at all.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chu Ningyu said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please listen clearly. The second couplet of my great Chu is, a lonely tree is a tree, and a tree is a tree!"
"Please come out with the second line!"
“A single tree is a tree, and a forest of trees is a forest of trees?”
When Chu Ningyu said the second couplet, all the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty frowned and collectively fell into deep thought.
Emperor Tang Zheng of the Tang Dynasty sat on the dragon throne and looked at the civil and military officials who were deep in thought. His face was full of disappointment. The Tang Dynasty relied on martial arts to build the country, and people at dawn advocated martial arts. Humanistic education was really unsatisfactory.
Moreover, Da Chu came prepared. If it were a simple couplet, Da Tang might be able to match it, but every couplet of Da Chu had hidden mysteries, and it would not be easy to figure it out.
Emperor Tang subconsciously looked at the third prince Tang Shuheng. He saw that the third prince Tang Shuheng was pale and looked embarrassed. When Emperor Tang looked at him, Tang Shuheng lowered his head in shame.
"Emperor Tang, according to the agreement, the limit is one stick of incense! If you can't answer within one stick of incense, you will lose this competition!" Chu Ningyu raised her snow-white neck and said proudly.
"A stick of incense?"
Hearing this, Tang Yu sneered: "That's not necessary!"
"Oh? Has His Highness Tang Yu already figured out the second couplet?" Chu Ningyu said in surprise.
Staring at Chu Ningyu with a surprised look on his face, Tang Yu almost laughed out loud. He thought Chu Ningyu would come up with something, but he didn't expect it to be a couplet.
The most essential part of this couplet is the second half of the couplet. Two trees together form a forest, and two forests taken apart form two trees. Not only that, there is also the word sen at the end. When the word sen is taken apart, it becomes three. A piece of wood corresponds to a lone tree, and a lone tree is exactly wood in nature.
At this moment, not only Chu Ningyu was surprised, but even Tang Huang looked shocked: "Yu'er, have you already figured out the second couplet?"
"Reporting to my father, I have indeed come up with the second couplet!" Tang Yu said with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone in the Jinluan Palace was shocked. Many literati had just communicated with each other, and they also discovered that this was a split word couplet. It looked simple, but it was almost impossible to figure it out at once.
Chu Ningyu looked contemptuous and said: "Your Highness Tang Yu, you are so careful that your tongue flashed! Let me remind you, this is a couplet! In couplets, it is very difficult to break the couplet!"
"Thank you Princess Ningyu for reminding me, I naturally know this!" Tang Yu chuckled.
Seeing Tang Yu's cynical look, Chu Ningyu sneered and said, "Oh? Then I would like to hear His Highness Tang Yu's opinion!"
In an instant, countless pairs of eyes in the court gathered on Tang Yu, and they were looking forward to Tang Yu's second line.
"Gao Jian can't be mentioned, it's just a couplet with split characters. I, Tang Yu, just picked it up at my fingertips!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Tang Yu smiled jokingly: "I am a human being to three people, and everyone follows the others!"
"Wonderful! Wonderful!"
As Tang Yu said the second couplet, Prime Minister Xu Shize looked at Emperor Tang and shouted: "Your Majesty, the second couplet of His Royal Highness is really wonderful!"
"Three people are human beings, and everyone follows the others?"
Tang Huang's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but want to scream in admiration. Staring at Tang Yu, Tang Huang only felt that he was a little strange. Is this still his unlearned and incompetent little son?
"In less than a stick of incense, Tang Yu actually confronted him again? This...how is this possible?"
When everyone in the Dachu envoy heard Tang Yu's second line, they immediately exploded. A group of people looked at each other, and they all saw deep horror in each other's eyes.
This time they came to the Tang Dynasty for a competition. Each couplet was carefully designed. In their eyes, it was very difficult for all the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty to compete in one couplet. Who would have thought that Prince Tang Yu could easily compete with two couplets? Far beyond their expectations.
Chu Ningyu's exquisite jade face was shocked. She thought Tang Yu was joking just now, but in the blink of an eye, Tang Yu actually matched the second couplet.
Staring at the ugly expressions of everyone in the Da Chu envoy, Tang Yu joked: "This is the second couplet, don't you have a third couplet? Tell me quickly, and let me fight one by one!"
"Arrogant!"
"Arrogant!"
Seeing that Tang Yu dared to ignore the envoys from Dachu, all the envoys from Dachu were furious.
Princess Chu Ningyu looked at an octogenarian old man, who nodded heavily to Chu Ningyu.
"His Royal Highness Tang Yu, you must be mentally prepared. This last couplet of my great Chu has been absolute for hundreds of years!" Chu Ningyu said coldly.
Tang Yu was confident and said without any fear: "Just let the horse come over!"
"Hmph! I don't believe that His Highness Tang Yu can still defeat my great Chu in the final battle!"
Looking at Tang Yu, Chu Ningyu said proudly: "Everyone, please listen, the last couplet of our great Chu is Wangjiang Tower, Wangjiang Liu, Wangjiang Tower Wangjiang Liu, Jiang Tower is eternal, and Jiang Liu is eternal! "
"Please enlighten me!"
