Everyone suddenly heard Ye Cheng laughing and couldn't help but stare angrily.
"You eunuch, you don't know etiquette, you laughed in front of everyone, and interrupted my train of thought. It's really hateful."
An old man with white beard and hair, wearing Confucian clothes, cursed Ye Cheng.
He turned around and saluted Ling Xiaoyue with his hands raised, and said: "Prince, this eunuch has behaved inappropriately in front of the palace and should be put to death. I hope His Highness will kill him."
"I almost figured it out just now, but this dead eunuch interrupted my train of thought!"
Someone echoed.
"Yes, I had an idea just now, but it was interrupted by this dog eunuch."
Someone gritted his teeth and glared at Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng sneered in his heart.
These people failed to think of the second line and tried to shift the blame onto him, thus making it easy for them to take the blame.
He also physically attacked him.
It is unbearable!
"You can't poop in the latrine, you can't think of couplets, what do you have to do with me?"
Ye Cheng smiled coldly and retorted on the spot.
When Lin Yaoxue heard this, a slight smile flashed across her soft and moist face.
This guy's words are rough but his reasoning is rough.
That's quite reasonable.
"You are an eunuch. You speak obscenely and are not decent. If you don't kill him, it won't satisfy the anger of hundreds of officials! Prince, please kill him quickly!"
The old man shouted loudly.
Ling Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows.
The old man who spoke was Han Xiaoru, a great scholar in the dynasty and also a Grand Tutor. He was highly respected and respected. If he didn't give an explanation to Master Han today, I'm afraid there would be problems.
Ling Xiaoyue glanced at Ye Cheng with cold eyes and said: "Bold dog slave, why are you laughing? If you don't give an explanation to Master Han, I will chop off your dog's head!"
Ye Cheng, however, was calm and confident. He bowed his hands to Ling Xiaoyue and said, "Prince Qi, I just thought this couplet was very simple, so I laughed."
As soon as Ye Cheng said these words, the whole Jinluan Palace seemed to explode.
Everyone was stunned!
"This little eunuch actually said that the first couplet is simple. I have been thinking about it for so long and couldn't figure it out. He actually said it was simple?"
"This is absolute! How can it be simple! This damn eunuch must be talking nonsense."
"Your Highness, please punish this little eunuch severely. How can I, the court of Great Zhou, tolerate an eunuch talking nonsense?"
Upon hearing the excitement among the ministers, Ling Xiaoyue frowned again.
Does Ye Cheng know the second line?
If he didn't know, the civil and military officials of the entire court would not let him go today!
Before Ling Xiaoyue could ask Ye Cheng, Zhao Qianli said loudly: "Your Highness, this couplet was written by Fang Miaocai, the most talented man in Dajin. He thought about it for ten years, but he never thought of it. This eunuch actually said this. The simple couplet is an insult to me, Dai Jin, and I ask Your Highness to punish this eunuch!"
"It turned out to be the hand of Fang Miaocai, so it's no wonder."
someone exclaimed.
Fang Miaocai once changed his name, took part in the imperial examination of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and won the top prize.
Therefore, even the scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty admired Fang Miaocai.
"Fang Miaocai has been thinking hard for ten years and never thought of it. How could I have thought of it after I waited for an hour and three quarters?"
Someone sighed.
"This eunuch is boasting, and I hope His Highness will punish him!"
Someone once again pointed the finger at Ye Cheng.
In the court, everyone asked the prince to punish Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng laughed and said: "What's so difficult about this couplet? The second couplet I'm right about is Shu Lin Han Mo Han Lin Shu."
"Paint lotus and monk paintings."
"The book comes from the Han Dynasty and is written by Hanlin."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They chewed Ye Cheng's second couplet carefully and found that the second couplet was extremely appropriate.
This is actually a palindromic couplet. Whether it is read backwards or forwards, the pronunciation is the same.
Ye Cheng's second couplet and the first couplet complement each other and the artistic conception is consistent.
Everyone was shocked and speechless.
All the civil and military officials in the court couldn't figure it out, but a little eunuch could actually do it?
Ling Xiaoyue looked at Ye Cheng, her clear eyes full of surprise.
Ye Cheng actually showed up?
Lin Yaoxue blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Ye Cheng, her eyes full of sparkles, "As expected of the former prince, how can ordinary people compare to this level of knowledge?"
Zhao Qianli stared at Ye Cheng with wide eyes, a look of disbelief on his face.
Ye Cheng said: "This couplet is really easy. I have other answers."
Immediately afterwards, Ye Cheng said two more second lines.
"Lotus flowers and monks are painted on paintings; holy metaphors are written on books."
"The paintings are painted with lotus flowers and monks; the songs are the same as those of shepherd boys at dusk."
Although these two lower lines are slightly worse than the first one, they are still neat and within the acceptable range.
"I have known this kind of couplet since I was three years old. What's so difficult about it? The most talented man in the Jin Kingdom has been thinking about it for ten years and still can't figure it out. I really didn't expect it."
Ye Cheng smiled and his high voice sounded again.
When Zhao Qianli heard this, he looked very embarrassed and his face turned red.
Han Xiaoru, who had just threatened to punish Ye Cheng, huddled up to hide his embarrassment.
After all, he was a great scholar of the time, one of the three nobles, and the most knowledgeable person in the Zhou Dynasty. Even he didn't think of the second line, but a little eunuch figured it out.
So embarrassing!
Seeing Zhao Qianli's deflated look, Ling Xiaoyue couldn't be happier.
"This dog slave surprises people every time. Is he really just an ordinary eunuch?"
Ling Xiaoyue couldn't help but be curious about Ye Cheng's identity.
"Master Zhao, can your country of Jin now discuss the specific details of the peace treaty with us, Da Zhou?"
Ling Xiaoyue spoke.
Ling Xiaoyue guessed that the Jin people were delaying now because they knew that their father was seriously ill.
Once the father is seriously ill, some changes may occur in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Jin Kingdom will have the opportunity to take advantage of it.
"Prince Qi, I still have a problem." Zhao Qianli grinned and raised his hand in salute.
"Master Zhao, this peace treaty was proposed by your Jin Kingdom. Now you have repeatedly raised difficulties and deliberately made things difficult for me, Da Zhou. Are you not sincere at all?"
A military general wearing black armor shouted loudly, which shook the court.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were two factions: the main war faction and the main peace faction.
The general who spoke was Li Yankai, the great general of Zhou Dynasty.
He is a representative of the main war faction.
He also knew that the emperor was seriously ill and most of the ministers in the DPRK supported the peace talks.
However, the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin were aggressive and repeatedly made things difficult for Zhou Dynasty, which made him furious.
Li Yankai stood up and angrily denounced Zhao Qianli, and other ministers from the main war faction also echoed.
Han Xiaoru and others from the Lord Harmony Faction were not easy to dissuade.
Yang Jianchang, the chief minister of the cabinet, said to Zhao Qianli with a gloomy face: "If your Jin country is not sincere in peace talks, then the peace talks will be unnecessary."
Zhao Qianli also knew that he had aroused public anger, but he remained calm and said:
"Master Yang, it only takes three. This is our last problem in the Kingdom of Jin. As long as you people in Da Zhou can solve this problem, then we can finalize the details of the peace talks immediately."
