Chapter 832 I wonder which hero in the palace is worthy of this couplet? (Please subscribe)

The civil servants opposite who were well-read in poetry and books were also looking at the Confucian-shirted gang among the generals opposite with vigilance.

I always felt that these guys in Confucian shirts were good people who did not come, and those who came were bad. In this case, I and others decided to stop quietly.

The two sides were in a state of staring at each other. Li Shimin sat behind the imperial court and looked at the strange atmosphere, quite dumbfounded.

I thought that this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet would turn into a pot of porridge, but it turned out to be a good thing. The two sides were like two armies ready to go, both carefully maintaining the balance of power.

"Erlang, what do you think?" Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, who looked like he was not too concerned about the excitement, said in a low voice as he drank wine and ate delicacies with great interest.

Li Shimin pulled back his long beard and smiled very meaningfully.

"Father, it seems that now I am afraid that the only way to break this deadlock is to have children."

I was really looking forward to what kind of scene would happen after the deadlock was broken. Li Shimin's eyes swept across the circle of military officials.

But he only saw Cheng Yaojin, and then he remembered that Cheng Chubi had now slipped into the circle of civil servants.

Turning his eyes, he saw Cheng Chubi, who was secretly muttering about something to Liu Hongji.

"Dear gentlemen, you must have read the "Chang'an Xunbao" a few days ago, right?"

Li Shimin's rich baritone echoed in the Tai Chi Hall. Seeing His Majesty taking the initiative to break the deadlock, all the civil and military officials in the hall breathed a sigh of relief and looked at His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty with concentration.

Li Shimin saw the eyes focused on him, stood with his hands behind his hands, and said with a smile.

"There is a couplet in the "Chang'an Xunbao" that I really admire after reading it. However, except for this couplet.

What surprised me even more was that there was a couplet on it, which made me surprised..."

“This first couplet is quite artistic to me, and what’s even more surprising to me is this.

The short five-character first couplet happens to include the radicals of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire and earth."

"And using the first couplet to find the second couplet really aroused my interest..."

#####

Cheng Chubi looked at Li Shimin, who was standing behind the court and chatting, and his eyes fell on his father. Well... he saw that his father was already eager to try.

It seems that my father is waiting for the time to jump out and show off his power.

At this time, Li Shimin's eyes turned and fell on Yu Shinan, a talented old minister.

Yu Shinan naturally understood His Majesty's intentions, so he stood up and commented on this first couplet, which contained five elements and was very artistic.

At the end, Yu Shinan stroked his long beard and said with regret.

"Unfortunately, I have been thinking carefully these past few days, but I can't find a suitable second line to respond to it."

As soon as Yu Shinan finished speaking, Li Shimin's eyes fell on another confidant, it was Changsun Wuji.

Even though Changsun Wuji was unhappy in every way, facing His Majesty's gaze, he could only stand up and make a few indifferent remarks.

Cheng Chubi was just listening to the excitement when he heard a low voice coming from behind.

Turning around, he saw His Royal Highness King Wu, Li Ke, approaching furtively.

First he nodded to Liu Hongji, then squeezed over and lowered his voice.

"Brother, I just heard from the brothers that your old Cheng family is going to do something big today?"

Looking at His Highness the King of Wu, whose eyes were shining with excitement, Cheng Chubi felt tired for a while. It was our old Cheng family who was responsible for the trouble, not you. Do you deserve to be so excited?

"My dear brother, don't talk nonsense. Today, the main thing is to look at my father..."

Before Cheng Chubi finished speaking, he heard his father's loud voice. Li Ke's eyes suddenly lit up and he stretched his neck to look over there.

General Cheng came to the palace first, wearing a Confucian shirt, which could not hide his fleshy face and fat body.

But at any rate, his behavior seems to have become much more refined and refined, and he speaks very beautifully.

The general idea is that my Saburo just made a harmless little joke with the Taixue in order to promote his private school.

Having said this, all the civil and military ministers of the dynasty saw Cheng Yaojin swaying his big sleeves and coming to sit among the civil servants with a kind look on his face.

Kong Yingda, who lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, looking unwilling to pay attention to anyone, stood still in front of him.

"The show is coming..." Li Yuan murmured in a low voice. He suddenly became energetic, sat up straight, picked up the cup and took a sip of wine.

Cheng Yaojin's behavior today seemed very gentle, but he didn't expect that this old boy Kong Rangli would close his eyes and lower his eyebrows, as if he couldn't see his arrival.

If you really ignore me, how can you perform this play? Cheng Yaojin cleared his throat unhappily, and said with a smile on his face.

"Brother Rangli..."

“!!!!!”

In an instant, Li Yuan, who had just swallowed the wine down his throat, suddenly widened his eyes and spurted a red fountain of wine directly from his nostrils...

Not only him, the Tai Chi Hall seemed to have turned into a fountain performance competition, with wine fountains rising one after another, and the wine mist increased the humidity in the entire Tai Chi Hall by at least 80%.

Li Shimin almost sat down on the floor, quickly stretched out his hands to support the desk, and coughed wildly with his head buried in his head.

All the military officials over there rolled around and rolled into a ball. The civil servants were not much better here.

Damn Brother Rang Li, as soon as this sentence came out, everyone immediately thought of the description of the old Confucius family in "Shunliu's Nursery Rhymes of Hundreds of Family Surnames" that can often be heard in and around Chang'an City.

Kong Rangli, oh no...it was the erudite scholar Kong Yingda who suddenly jumped up and pointed like a sword at the fat and strong Cheng Yaojin, a vulgar warrior.

"Cheng, you, you..."

Cheng Yaojin touched his nose a little shyly and laughed.

"Slip of the tongue, brother Kong, please don't blame me. Cheng suddenly forgot your words.

Then stop talking nonsense and ask Brother Kong if he can match the first couplet produced by my Sanlang?"

Hearing Cheng Yaojin ask such a question, even Kong Yingda, who was about to burst his old lungs with anger at this moment, still felt a chill in his heart.

It's too late to say it, but it's too soon. Kong Yingda, who has weathered many hardships and experienced many storms, is not an easy person to compare with.

He immediately became angry, rolled his sleeves with great anger, turned around and left.

"Hmph! Cheng Pifu, let's wait and see!" I saw Kong Yingda, who usually trembled when walking, swish, and in a few steps, he jumped all the way out of the Tai Chi Hall.

The civil and military ministers who were left all over the Tai Chi Hall stared at Kong Yingda's back in confusion.

"He, he ran away now?" Li Chengqian couldn't help but a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He said he would do something, but what should he do now?

"???" Cheng Yaojin didn't expect that Kong Rangli, a fighter among civil servants who quarreled with heaven and earth against him, would actually learn to be clever.

"Hey, Lao Kong, you, stop!" Cheng Yaojin was extremely angry, and a big black-haired hand was already on his shoulder.

When he turned around, he saw old Yuchi's unhappy black face.

"Old Cheng, don't pay attention. Let the old guy go. Hurry up, a certain family hasn't even shown up yet."

Old Yuchi turned his head and shouted with a loud voice.
