"Mother, my correct second line is, East Canal, West Canal, East-West Canal transports things."
When Lin Yiqiu's second line was spoken, everyone in the hall was shocked.
Neat!
It's simply too neat.
Even the illiterate palace maids and eunuchs thought this couplet was a perfect match!
East Canal and West Canal are also place names.
There are only four words in the entire second line: East-West Canal.
A little eunuch actually has such knowledge!
Concubine De's eyes lit up and she immediately ordered.
"Jiang Rui, tell the second couplet to His Majesty in front of you!"
"twitter!"
Jiang Rui stood up and ran away with all his strength.
The main hall of the royal palace.
Quiet.
All was quiet.
All the ministers in the court lowered their heads, not daring to look at Emperor Qian above.
After finishing the first couplet, the old monk smiled and recited sutras.
Wu Yong and several other envoys looked proud.
"Your Majesty, couplets are just an art form and cannot be put on the stage. Otherwise, let's talk about the marriage between the two countries."
"If that doesn't work, you can ask the ministers to go back and think about it for two more days. Anyway, the mission will not leave for the time being."
Emperor Qian's face turned livid when he heard this, and even his tightened chest became heaving.
No way.
No one can match the old monk's pair.
She couldn't say anything, otherwise it would only add to the laughing stock.
At this time, Wei Wanqiu came to Emperor Qian, leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear.
Emperor Qian smiled instantly and said loudly.
"Wu Envoy, you are right. Couplets are just trivial stories. My beloved is the pillar of the country. She thinks about state affairs and world affairs every day, instead of studying how to recite poems and write poems all day long. No, a little lady in the palace The supervisor heard about the first couplet and directly matched the second couplet."
"The East Canal, the West Canal, and the East-West Canal transport things."
After hearing what Emperor Qian said, the ministers in the palace were all smiling. Emperor Qian was also talented!
The little father-in-law, working for Da Da, won back his dignity and magnanimity.
Wu Yong and the old monk's expressions changed.
Unexpectedly, someone actually responded to the second line.
I originally wanted to use this to suppress Emperor Qian, but now that they have made an alliance with each other, it is no longer easy to mention the marriage.
Wu Yong secretly glanced at the old monk.
The old monk seemed to have been prepared for this, he stood up and said with a smile.
"The poor monk admires it, but he didn't expect that a little father-in-law is also extraordinary in literary talent. The poor monk here still has a couplet. He is puzzled and can't understand it, so he asks the little father-in-law for advice. He is a king among people and a king among people. He intends to be the king of all people."
In this first couplet, King of Renzhong is the full character, King of Renbian is the character Ren, and the two characters are split into two characters: Quanren.
King represents the monarch.
The eyes of Emperor Qian and the ministers became unkind. This bald donkey was clearly looking for trouble!
The old monk said it through a couplet, and we couldn't just pull him out and kill him.
The ministers thought hard, but they couldn't think of a second line that could retaliate and restore face.
Emperor Qian glanced at Wei Wanqiu, and it seemed that he had to look at the little father-in-law from before.
Wei Wanqiu hurriedly retreated, found Jiang Rui, and asked him to take the first couplet back quickly.
Zhaodeokgung Palace.
Jiang Rui ran back panting and said the monk's first couplet.
Everyone knew the meaning of the first couplet and were filled with indignation.
Everyone's eyes were turned to Lin Yiqiu in the main hall. He had spoken the monk's second line before. Whether he could do so this time still depended on the young father-in-law.
"Hurry up, I'm still waiting to reply."
Jiang Rui urged.
He was the only person present who didn't want Lin Yiqiu to confront him.
When delivering the message, he said that the person who responded to the couplet was someone from Zhaode Palace.
Wakabayashi
If Qiu faced him again, with today's outstanding performance, the empress would definitely keep him, and one day, his position as general manager might be taken away.
It was also because neither Wei Wanqiu nor Emperor Qian knew what Jiang Rui did. The person who made the second line was Lin Yiqiu.
"Yes! The mouth of the world and the mouth of the sky are determined to swallow Wu!"
If you humiliate your ministers and die, if you want to tear down our king, I will swallow up your country!
Jiang Rui got the second line and ran out.
Lin Yiqiu stopped him.
"Wait a minute, Eunuch Jiang, don't worry. The opponent has sent out two first couplets in a row. I also have one. Let them deal with it."
"What is it?"
Jiang Rui asked subconsciously, but his eyes glanced at Concubine De above.
Concubine De had to nod for this matter, so how could he dare to spread the word rashly.
"allow!"
At this time, Concubine De had already begun to appreciate Lin Yiqiu.
What's more, this is a matter of bringing glory to the country.
Lin Yiqiu said the first couplet that came to his mind.
"Smoke Lock Pond Willow."
This couplet is not the most difficult for Lin Yiqiu.
If the Wu delegation wants to confront them, it will be impossible for a while.
After hearing this, Jiang Rui couldn't help but shake his head.
I thought it was absolute, but I didn’t expect it to be so simple. Can this also be regarded as a joint alliance?
Not so good! If an envoy from the State of Wu confronts me, it will destroy my national prestige.
Then I thought, this was not a good opportunity to kill this little eunuch.
Jiang Rui and the maids and eunuchs in the palace couldn't hear it, and they all disagreed with the words in the first couplet.
The concubine above, think about it carefully.
"Just use this couplet."
Seeing Concubine De supporting Lin Yiqiu, Jiang Rui felt even more unhappy.
damn it!
This little eunuch, not only because of his beauty, but also because of his skill in martial arts, even Concubine De favored him. He had served Concubine De for many years.
Jiang Rui hurriedly ran towards the main hall. After several trips back and forth, he was almost exhausted.
The main hall of the royal palace.
Emperor Qian couldn't help but laugh when he heard the satisfactory answer again.
"Zen Master, your first couplet is, king among men, king among men, with the intention of taking over the throne. What the little father-in-law in the harem is saying is, the mouth of the world, the mouth of the sky, aiming to swallow up Wu."
A general stood up on the spot and said immediately.
"Your Majesty, if nothing else, that little father-in-law has great ambitions. Even the last general wants to take him under his command."
Everyone was happy, except for the Wu envoys who all looked ugly.
Aiming to swallow Wu!
A little father-in-law has such a loud tone.
The monk said expressionlessly.
"Your Majesty, this poor monk still has a couplet..."
Emperor Qian waved his hand and interrupted the monk.
"Zen Master, please don't rush to tell me. My little father-in-law also sent me a couplet this time and wanted to ask Zen Master for advice."
"Excellent, Your Majesty, please tell me."
The monk put his hands together and recited Amitabha.
"Smoke Lock Pond Willow."
The monk understood the mysterious skill as soon as he heard it and began to think hard about the second line in his mind.
Wu Yong and other envoys also wanted to solve the second couplet as soon as possible. They were all people from the Wu Kingdom who had read poetry and books. However, they were also stumped by the first couplet.
It is just five words, but the radicals contain the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth.
Looking at the Wu envoys who looked troubled, Emperor Qian could express his gloomy mood.
"Master Tianchan, I heard that Fu Chai of the Wu Kingdom plans to make you a national preceptor. I wonder if you, a great national preceptor of the Wu Kingdom, will be stumped by the first couplet of a little father-in-law from our Daqian harem?"
A minister stood up and said.
Master Tianchan hasn’t come up with the second couplet yet, so he is really ashamed when he hears this!
