Everyone is waiting for Di Luoxi's poem, especially the second princess Di Xingwan.
Emperor Luoxi recited loudly: "Thousands of birds have disappeared, thousands of people have disappeared; a lone man with a coir raincoat fishing in a cold river is alone."
hiss...
Yu Shinan, who had looked sarcastic just now, froze, and Prince Li Chengtong was also stunned.
In just a few words, he painted a picture of a cold and lonely scene: it was as if he saw two snow-capped mountains, a lonely river, a small boat drifting on the river, and an extraordinary man fishing alone in the boat, aloof from other things.
"Wonderful!"
The great scribe Yu Shinan couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
The whole place was silent!
After the empress heard this, her eyes immediately fell on Long Chen.
She knew that Di Luoxi didn't have this talent, so it must have been written by the little eunuch behind her.
The empress was surprised that a eunuch could have such literary talent.
The second princess, Emperor Xingwan, also turned to look at Long Chen. She also knew that the fourth sister, Emperor Luoxi, did not have such a good literary talent.
"I have accepted the concession, so may I ask, Prince, should your Linjiang City be dedicated to our Eastern Zhou Dynasty?"
Di Luoxi immediately demanded Linjiang City tit for tat.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Nanliang City faced each other across the river. Diaoyu City was the fortress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and Linjiang City was the fortress of Nanliang City.
Yu Shinan recovered from the shock and immediately said: "No, although this poem is good, it cannot completely beat my poem. It can only be said to be a tie."
Prince Li Chengtong also echoed: "Yes, it is difficult to distinguish between the fourth princess's poem and Master Yu's poem."
This is clearly a rogue act, but there is no first in civility and no second in military force. If Nanliang wants to act rogue, there is nothing they can do.
"Hmph, so it's hard to tell the winner of the poetry contest? Then why did you say you won just now? You're so eloquent."
The second princess, Emperor Xingwan, took the opportunity to ridicule.
The Nanliang delegation was dancing so happily just now, saying that they had won and dared to ask for Diaoyu City.
Yu Shinan, the great scribe, was arrogant and couldn't help himself when Emperor Xingwan said this.
"The best way to determine the outcome of a literary fight is to pair up pairs. We each play the upper link, and then play the lower link. This can determine the outcome."
Yu Shinan proposed a pair of pairs, which is the martial arts in literary fighting.
No matter how you compare in poetry and poetry, you don't have to admit it. The pairs are different. If you can't match them, you lose.
When the empress heard about the pair, she immediately panicked. She knew that Yu Shinan had a nickname, called Dui Chuanchang.
No one in the world can stand up to him.
The civil servants here in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, especially Emperor Xingwan, were also panicked. She was most afraid of Yu Shinan being right. She was really afraid of what would happen.
"what to do?"
Emperor Xingwan turned to her maid and said, this maid is her female officer and is very talented.
The female officer's face turned pale. She knew even more how vicious Yu Shinan was towards his wife.
"I heard that Yu Shinan once had a match in Wangjiang Tower and made a scholar vomit blood and throw himself into the river."
Qingyue whispered.
Long Chen was surprised: "Is it so powerful?"
Qingyue nodded and looked at Yu Shinan with fearful eyes.
Yu Shinan and Prince Li Chengtong from the Nanliang Mission had discovered the panic in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and they were very proud.
Prince Li Chengtong sneered and said: "Empress, you Dong Zhou seem to be discouraged. You can admit defeat on the spot to avoid embarrassment."
The second prince Li Jiye sneered and said: "Master Yu once had a duel with your Eastern Zhou Dynasty celebrity Qian Jun in Wangjiang Tower. Qian Jun couldn't stand up to him and vomited blood and threw himself into the river on the spot."
"There is only a frozen river outside the Daming Palace. It is a bit difficult to commit suicide. How about hanging a white silk ribbon on the beam of the Daming Palace first, and whoever loses will hang himself?"
Li Jiye's words made Dongzhou furious. Di Luoxi was as fierce as fire. She turned around and asked Long Chen in a low voice: "Is it okay for you to be right?"
Long Chen thought to himself: Nonsense, it’s okay for a woman to ask a man, it’s definitely okay, even with chopsticks attached!
"No problem, hang up Bai Ling first, then I'll kill him!"
Di Luoxi was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "You guys are talking too much. Let's get it right first. It doesn't matter who hangs himself."
The Empress and Emperor Xingwan looked at Long Chen at the same time. They knew that Di Luoxi was a dabbler and if he dared to confront Yu Shinan, this little eunuch must be helping him.
Yu Shinan chuckled and said: "Okay, the fourth princess is indeed a hero among women, she is so confident, let's get started."
"You come first or me first?"
Di Luoxi sneered: "We are the hosts and you are the guests. You come first."
The empress frowned and asked Yu Shinan to come out first? That's not good. If you don't match the first pair, it would be too embarrassing.
Yu Shinan stood up from his seat, held a folding fan, walked to the middle aisle, slightly stroked his beard, and then said: "A country will surely perish!"
When Di Xingwan heard the first couplet, his brows immediately furrowed. It was a curse word.
This is called the Zangwei couplet. When a country is about to perish, there must be evildoers. This calls the empress a evildoer, and also says that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty will perish. This couplet is so vicious.
After listening to the first couplet in the evening, Emperor Xingwan thought to himself: He is indeed a fatal scholar from Nanliang, and his words are quite vicious!
Di Luoxi turned to look at Long Chen, who had already handed over a piece of paper.
"Empress, it's your turn!"
Yu Shinan sneered coldly.
The empress looked at Emperor Xingwan, who shook his head slightly to express his disapproval.
The empress looked at Di Luoxi again.
"The reason for not dying is for old age!"
Di Luoxi's clear voice broke the silence.
After hearing this, Yu Shinan frowned and his face looked very ugly.
A person who is too old to die is a thief. The meaning of this second line is to call Yu Shinan an old thief.
A hint of joy appeared on the empress' serious face, and she said with a smile: "Master Yu, what do you think?"
Yu Shinan also noticed Long Chen behind Di Luoxi. He glanced at Long Chen and felt a familiar aura, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
"Hmph! It's a tie, it's your turn."
Yu Shinan looked directly at Long Chen, and Prince Li Chengtong and the other three princes also looked in the direction of Di Luoxi.
Di Luoxi knew that her backup had been discovered, but she had no problem with Long Chen this time, because Long Chen had just written the first couplet.
"one two three four five six seven!"
Di Luoxi's voice, as clear as a silver bell, sounded, and everyone in the audience understood it clearly.
However, after everyone listened, they were all confused and didn’t know what it meant.
Di Xingwan thought for a moment and had no idea what he meant.
Prince Li Chengtong was also confused and didn't know what this couplet meant.
Only Yu Shinan's face turned the color of pig liver, and he understood.
Di Luoxi actually didn't know what this couplet meant. Wasn't it just a few numbers?
But when she saw Yu Shinan's ugly face, Di Luoxi knew that the couplet must be a curse.
Yu Shinan held it in for a long time, glared at Long Chen angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "We are the envoys of Nanliang, how dare you scold me!"
Di Luoxi smiled in her heart: It was indeed a curse word.
The empress didn't understand and asked, "Why are you scolding you?"
Yu Shinan said angrily: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, but I forgot eight. This is calling me a bastard!"
puff....
Di Luoxi finally understood what he meant. It turned out that Long Chen called Yu Shinan a bastard.
Dong Zhou was bursting into laughter, and Yu Shinan's face became even more ugly.
Prince Li Chengtong felt endlessly humiliated, and the great scribe Yu Shinan was actually angry?
"Master Yu, it's rude to not return when you come back, so go back!"
Yu Shinan looked troubled and thought for a long time, not knowing how to retaliate skillfully.
"That's all, you win this time, I'll do it this time!"
"Fourth Princess, stop being a mouthpiece. I know it's the little eunuch who's making the plans, so I'll fight him alone!"
Yu Shinan wanted to confront Long Chen by name.
Everyone's eyes turned to Long Chen.
