I don’t know where Jiajing got a couplet from a couplet. Although the artistic conception is good, when you look closely, Zhengyao felt that this couplet felt a bit evil no matter how you look at it?

In the lonely temple, a general alone!

This couplet is indeed a bit vivid. The couplet uses five different parts of a word to express the meaning of one. There is no repetition, but it makes people understand at a glance. You can imagine the talent of this couplet.

How outstanding it is. ()

Of course, this pair of couplets has another meaning, which makes Zhengyao secretly evil, as if any normal man would think about it like this.

"How is it? The prince consort has a clue? Liu Qing's family, please help me think about it. I must meet the couplet!"

After asking Zhengyao for some questions, Jiajing did not forget to look at King Liu Yanjing and others beside him, as if he was looking forward to them to give the answer they wanted.

"I seem to have seen this couplet somewhere..."

After careful consideration, Zhengyao couldn't help scratching the back of his head and said thoughtfully.

"Oh? Have you seen the prince consort? Hurry up! Tell me where have you seen it? Have you ever seen the second couplet?"

Hearing Zhengyao say this, Jiajing's face suddenly showed a hint of excitement, and he immediately asked excitedly.

This couplet has been tossing Jiajing for a long time, and now he wants to match it out immediately, but he thought about it and then, and after all, he felt that something was missing. Gradually, Jiajing was about to lose patience.

Now Zhengyao said that he had seen it, which made him very surprised and he couldn't help but have the idea of ​​knowing the answer again.

Zhengyao wiped the tip of his nose and asked calmly: "Dare you ask your father. Can you tell me who this couplet is from? Why is the father so anxious about this couplet?"

Finally, Zhengyao asked about the doubts in his heart.

Although he understood that Jiajing was a confused emperor, he also knew that many times, Jiajing was also very sober. At least he knew that Yan Song had problems, at least he knew that the court was full of struggle, and at least he knew that the frontier was in a hurry.

However, at this critical moment, it would be obvious that Jiajing would not have the intention to ignore the government affairs.

Therefore, Zhengyao believes that it must be because this couplet is very important and has great origins.

"It's actually very simple. Zhengyao knew that his father was not an emperor who was not serious. It must be because this couplet had a great relationship. That's why his father ignored everything and wanted to match this couplet!"

Zhengyao said affirmatively, although he was just guessing, he also had reason to believe that his guess was absolutely correct.

However, after Zhengyao said this, a strange smile suddenly flashed on his face, which was meaningful.

Of course, others did not notice this. As for Jiajing, they didn't pay attention. Jiajing couldn't help but smile and said, "Haha, I know that the prince consort is extremely smart, and you can see it without a glance!

The clues are true. That’s right, this couplet is indeed very important!”

"Oh? I hope to hear it carefully!"

Not only Zhengyao, but even Prince Jing on the side couldn't help but become serious again and looked at Jiajing.

Jiajing nodded, touched the not-long beard and said, "Actually, before you came back, Simon sent an envoy over and said that there was a treasure to be presented to me. I was naturally very happy at that time and wanted to come.

They must have thought that I, the Ming Dynasty, were powerful and could not compete with it. They came here to seek peace!

But then, when I was in the hall, after opening the treasure box in full view of everyone, such a couplet appeared, which made me very puzzled!”

"The treasure sent by the Mongolian envoy is this couplet? What is their purpose?"

Zhengyao immediately asked, "There is no reason to send such a couplet for no reason, and it's just the first couplet!"

You should know that most Mongolians are uncivilized people. It is okay to ask them to herd sheep with horses and sheep, and recite poems, essays and couplets. Unless it changes the world, it is unreliable.

If we say that this couplet was written by the Mongols, we can only say that this Mongol is too powerful, even stronger than the great writers of the Ming Dynasty.

"Well, the Mongolian envoy came here just to send this couplet, and then said that the first couplet was written by a woman from Mongolia, and the second couplet was already there. If no one in the Ming Dynasty could answer it, then

It proves that the Ming Dynasty is not qualified to pay tribute to Mongolia again, and from then on, Mongolia will only be on par with the Ming Dynasty and will not need to pay tribute.”

Speaking of this, Jiajing felt ashamed again. He was a dignified emperor, but he was not as good as a woman from Mongolia. If this was spread, how could he have face?

"Haha! I didn't expect that the Mongolians would use this method and dared to openly provoke my Ming literati. This Mongolian woman seemed too arrogant!"

Yuan Haiyun, who was standing by, was suddenly angry. Although he didn't know much about poetry, songs, couplets, etc., he really didn't believe that the huge Ming Dynasty could not find someone to match the second couplet of this couplet.

"Yes, the Mongols were too arrogant. But the emperor didn't need to worry. There were countless literati and scholars in the Ming Dynasty. As long as the emperor immediately announced the world, he should invite capable people to come and talk about the couplets. I believe that there will definitely be a moment of expressing the second couplet.

!”

Liu Yan also scoffed at the Mongolians' behavior, and then said to Jiajing with relief, as if this was a feasible solution.

However, after hearing what Liu Yan said, Jiajing couldn't help but shook his head and said, "No, no! Such a large-scale battle, I'm afraid there will be no time."

"What? There is no time? Could it be that the Mongols still have limited time?"

Hearing this, Zhengyao couldn't help asking again, but he didn't expect that this Mongolian would have such a trick.

Jiajing nodded and said, "Well, yesterday, the Mongolian envoy gave a limit. If the second couplet that was not sent to Mongolia in time within one month, it would prove that the Ming Dynasty

Incompetent people, Mongolia doesn’t need to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.”

"It's outrageous! These Mongolians are so arrogant! The emperor, in his foolish opinion, ignore this matter. Anyway, the Mongols have begun to invade our Datong area. Why not start a war directly!"

Liu Yan had long wanted to serve the country with his own heart, and the most direct way was to go to battle and kill the enemy and make achievements. After all, he was a member of the Zhu family and had reason to do his part.

Now the Mongolians are about to run to their heads and pee. There is no reason why they let them act like this and be arrogant and domineering!

"No-"

Zhengyao stopped Liu Yan and then said, "This matter is not a trivial matter, you should not act recklessly. The two countries go to war, and the people are suffering after all. Please think twice. Zhengyao believes that there will be a

The solution is solved!"

What Zhengyao least wants is to see the war happen. After all, once the war is burning, corpses are everywhere and blood flows into rivers. Such a cruel scene not only has an impact on economic prosperity, but also has a great impact on people's hearts.

Maybe it can be thought that Zhengyao is too indecisive and not like a real man with flesh and blood. However, a real man does not have to sprinkle blood on the battlefield, nor does he have to conquer cities and territories, and sometimes, a single person

Stabilizing and harmony are the best performance.

"Well! I agree with Zhengyao's statement. I don't want to see the war happening. The scene of people being displaced and wars flying everywhere is believed to be something that no one with affection and righteousness wants to see. For the matter of using military forces against Mongolia, I will temporarily

Don’t mention it. Let’s talk about how to deal with this couplet first! How about it, did Zhengyao remember where he saw it? And how should the second couplet be matched?"

In fact, Jiajing and Zhengyao's sympathy are still somewhat similar. At least they have the same idea in terms of whether to start a war against Mongolia.

Of course, there is another point here, that is, Jiajing is indeed a relatively timid emperor, and it is not difficult to see this in his previous attitude towards the Annan envoy.

After all, Jiajing was more interested in poetry, songs and essays than in using troops to fight wars. This may be due to the style.

Looking at Zhengyao, Jiajing's eyes were full of anticipation.

"call--"

Zhengyao let out a long breath, wiped his right hand on the tip of his nose, and then said, "Reporting to my father, I'm not to hide it. Zhengyao has already remembered it, and has also seen all this couplet. After all, he said, "I'm sorry to you."

, In fact, there is an allusion to this couplet. I wonder if my father and you have heard of it?"

"All story? Haha, the prince consort wants to tell you, I want to know what's going on."

Jiajing was not surprised or surprised when Zhengyao knew about the couplet. On the contrary, he became very interested in the allusions mentioned by Zhengyao.

Since it is an allusion, I believe that those who come up with such a couplet should also know this allusion. There is no reason that Mongolian women know it, but they don’t even know it!

Similarly, whether it was King Jing, Liu Yan, or even Yuan Haiyun, who was not interested in literature, expressed his expectation, as if this allusion also aroused his curiosity.

Zhengyao nodded and immediately said, "Once, Song Wenhao Su Shi and Su Dongpo passed by a small hill in Jiajiang County, Sichuan. There was a temple of Zhang Fei, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, on the hillside. At that time, Zhang Fei's statue in front of the hall was a spear, straddling the Wuzhi.

On the horse, there is a majestic and domineering spirit. There is a couplet written on the pillar next to the shop. In fact, it is to praise General Zhang Fei and General Zhang, so it says: "The lonely temple in Gushan is a general alone!"

After seeing Su Dongpo, he walked around in front of the temple gate in thought. He saw the river rippling with blue waves at the foot of the mountain. There was a fisherman fishing on both sides of the river. Facing this scene, he suddenly had an inspiration. So he immediately went to another

He stroked his pen on a pillar and said, "The two sides of the river are sandwiched, and the two fishermen fished for double hooks!"

"What? The two fishermen fished together with the river, and the two fishing people were fishing for double hooks?"

Everyone stared at Zhengyao with wide eyes and asked immediately without thinking.

Zhengyao nodded and replied with affirmative answer: "That's right, that's the case with the second couplet!"

In the lonely temple, a general was alone.

There are two fishermen on both sides of the river, and two fishing people are fishing for double hooks.

One to two, single to two, wonderful! Wonderful!...)
