Wu Dinghou Guo Xun was cross-examined by Xu Jin, and his face suddenly darkened. He just didn't like Xu Jin's policy at the Luming Banquet. Who dared to point the finger at the eunuch Zhang Zhong?

You are a boy trying out Xiao Sanyuan, do you dare to let me examine it carefully?"

As soon as these words came out, all the examinees present looked strange. A prince from a martial arts family actually wanted to examine a examiner. Isn't it a bit of a trick? Although all the examiners were interested in Xu Jin, the hand-picked examiner.

Some are unconvinced, but if nothing else, no one here dares to take advantage of Xu Ziqian's poems. How could Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding, have the confidence to question Xu Jin? Is he trying to get slapped in the face?

?

Xu Jin said calmly: "Why don't you dare!"

Marquis Wu Ding clapped his hands and said loudly: "Okay, if you have the guts, I will come up with three pairs. If you can't match them, it means that your reputation is in vain. Leave here immediately. Don't participate in the next spring appreciation party to avoid embarrassment."

.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present could not help but suddenly realized. No wonder Wu Dinghou was so loud. You must know that pairs can be prepared, and you can even let others prepare them for you, so Wu Dinghou must have come prepared.

Yes, I have long made up my mind to embarrass Xu Jin.

Xiao Huai couldn't help but frowned. He vaguely guessed the reason for Wu Dinghou's embarrassment, but he did not come forward to smooth things over. Firstly, it was not easy to offend the princes present, and secondly, he could escape the first day of the lunar month but not the fifteenth. If Xu Jin wanted to

The name rectification must pass this test. Xiao Huai also wanted to see Xu Jin's talents. If he couldn't connect three pairs, then this person really had a false reputation and was not worthy of his help.

Xu Jin glanced at the smiling British Duke Zhang Lun next to Wu Dinghou, and the Duke of Wei Xu Pengju who was drinking wine as if nothing had happened, and couldn't help but secretly cursed you!

Obviously, Wu Dinghou, Ying Gong, and Wei Guogong are working together to deceive themselves. However, Wu Dinghou has the lowest status, so he just stepped forward to act as a vanguard. Today's event is a proper Hongmen Banquet, damn it!

With Xu Jin's IQ, he would naturally understand the reason why several nobles worked together to trick him. In all likelihood, it was the policy question he answered at the Luming Banquet, two of which seriously harmed the interests of the nobles.

.Respectively, they are Qinggongzhuang and the inheritance law of title demotion, especially the second one. It is undoubtedly cutting off the lifeblood of the nobles. It is no wonder that the other party will attack me.

The so-called inheritance law of title demotion means that the title is downgraded by one level for each hereditary generation. For example, a prince becomes a prince when the title is passed to his son, becomes a prince when it is passed to his grandson, and becomes a marquis when it is passed to his great-grandson.

,hou then becomes an earl...

By analogy, the title will return to zero after being passed down for several generations, and the descendants will return to civilian status without receiving state salary or enjoying privileges. This can greatly reduce the court's financial expenditure.

The Ming Dynasty now implements hereditary inheritance of nobles without demotion. In addition, the vassals and nobles from all over the country are particularly fertile. After more than a hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the children of the vassal princes and nobles have been overwhelming. These people are all rice-boring people who rely on the state's finances to support them.

, has become a heavy burden on the Ming Dynasty government. If this continues, no matter how full the national treasury is, it will be emptied by this group of people. In addition, it is this group of people who have annexed the most land.

Therefore, the title demotion and inheritance law proposed by Xu Jin can undoubtedly solve this huge hidden danger of the Ming Dynasty [Guchengdushu.com], but it also seriously infringes on the interests of the nobles. Fortunately, Xu Jin currently

It's just an example. If the officials in the court dare to make such a claim to the emperor, those nobles will probably be even more anxious and try every means to kill Xu Jin, instead of just questioning him like now.

Xu Jin did not answer Wu Dinghou, but turned to the host here, Wei Guogong, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "Is this the way Duke Guo treats guests?"

Duke Xu Pengju of the State of Wei said with a serious face: "It is Wu Dinghou's own idea to study Xu Jieyuan, and it has nothing to do with the Duke of Wei. Xu Jieyuan does not have to agree. There is no harm in continuing to participate in the next spring appreciation party."

Xu Pengju's words were shameless. To put it mildly, Wu Dinghou's "spit" was spit on his face. If Xu Jin didn't take the initiative, how could he still have the nerve to continue participating in the Spring Festival Gala?

Wu Dinghou said with a joking expression: "Xu Ziqian, you are dawdling, is it possible that you have a guilty conscience?"

Xu Jin sneered in his heart. He had originally made up his mind to kill everyone today in order to shut up those beeping people. Since Guo Xun, the Marquis of Wuding, got his face up first, he would not be polite, no matter if you are a male monkey or not.

The female monkeys were all beaten into pig heads.

"Then I'll ask Lord Marquis to come up with the question, and I'll continue with that!" Xu Jin said calmly.

Wu Dinghou was secretly happy that he had prepared the answer in advance and had already greeted Duke Wei. If Xu Jin couldn't answer the question, he would drive him out of Xiangshan Courtyard and not send a carriage to take him back to the city. Hehe,

It's so cold that I have to walk dozens of miles back to the city on my legs, which is enough for this kid to drink a bottle. He might not even have the shame to take part in the examination again. This is called killing one person to serve as a warning to others. Let's see which one dares not to appreciate it in the future.

, propose such a policy strategy that harms the interests of nobles and nobles?

Guo Xun cleared his throat and said calmly: "Listen clearly, the first couplet of this Marquis is: a lamp with four characters, Spring, Spring, Spring."

After saying that, he proudly pointed to a lantern hanging on the doorpost of Da Fang Pavilion. This exquisite lantern had a festive "spring" embroidered on all sides.

As soon as Guo Xun's first couplet came out, everyone present could not help but shine. This first couplet was excellent. It seemed that Wu Dinghou was indeed well prepared. Xu Ziqian was in trouble now.

However, Fei Maozhong and Wei Yang were very calm. Xu Jin was quick in thinking and his ability in pairing was not inferior to his poetry skills. In the Shangyuan Festival that year, there were many wonderful duels at Xinjiang Academy, and he almost defeated them all by himself.

There are more than a dozen talented people in Yushan Academy, and even the vice-chancellor of the mountain chief was picked out by him.

Sure enough, Xu Jin pondered for a moment and then said: "My second couplet is: the third watch of the drum and the two gongs, boom boom boom boom!"

"Good! That's right!" Fei Maozhong and Wei Yang applauded in unison, and everyone present could not help but agree. After all, Xu Jin represents scholars, and Wu Dinghou represents Wu Xun. If a scholar is stumped by a vulgar warrior,

As a scholar, I feel ashamed.

Xiao Huai and Xia Yan both stroked their beards and nodded. This guy is really smart and quick!

Wu Dinghou snorted coldly and said: "This is the simplest, come again. My first couplet is: Break the pomegranate, and there will be many sour things in the red door!"

As soon as this couplet came out, everyone present could not help but look displeased. This was obviously a satire on scholars, and everyone present was "sour".

Xu Jin couldn't help but secretly laugh. This guy probably had a low IQ, so he fired the map cannon and laughed at the crowd, saying calmly: "Bite open the ginkgo, and there is a rotten person in the white clothes!"

This time, before Fei Maozhong and Wei Yang could say anything, everyone present cheered in unison, except, of course, Kuangsheng Lu Zhuo.

Xiao Huai and Xia Yan looked at each other funny, and even the British Duke Zhang Lun next to him couldn't help looking at Wu Dinghou, because the latter happened to be wearing an elegant moon-white gown today, and the decades-old Houye was so showy.

.

Wu Dinghou's face turned red. His first couplet called Xu Jin a sour person, but Xu Jin immediately used the second couplet to call him a "bad person". These scholars are so damn evil!

"Okay, as expected, there are two brushes. I also have a couplet here. If it matches, you will pass!" Wu Dinghou said coldly: "I heard it, my first couplet is: Two apes cut off the wood in the mountain, and this monkey also

Dare to saw (sentence)!"

This is obviously a harmonious couplet, calling Xu Jin a monkey.

Xu Jin raised his sword eyebrows, it was shameless, wasn't it? It was disrespectful to come and go, and he said calmly: "The horse is stuck in the quagmire, how can this beast get out of the hoof (question)?"

As soon as Xu Jin came out this couplet, the audience burst into laughter. The public not only marveled at Xu Jieyuan's quick thinking, but also admired his courage. They even called Marquis Wu Ding a beast!

Xiao Huai couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly. After all, he was young and energetic. This time, the relationship between Xu Ziqian and Wu Dinghou was finally forged.

At this time, Wu Dinghou Guo Xun's face turned red and white, and he stared at Xu Jin fiercely. The latter stood calmly, facing Wu Dinghou's eyes without fear. He was just a prince without real power, and he still had no power.

Too worried.

Guo Xun said sternly: "Xu Jin, you are so bold, you dare to call me a beast!"

Xu Jin said in surprise: "Why did the Marquis say this? I'm just saying this to you. When have you ever called the Marquis a beast?"

Guo Xun was immediately choked up. He couldn't insist that someone else's second couplet was cursing him, let alone his first couplet.

Duke Wei couldn't help but laugh and cry. He originally wanted to teach Xu Jin a lesson, but he ended up humiliating himself. Fortunately, he did not go into battle in person. He smiled and smoothed things over: "Xu Ziqian is indeed full of talent and learning. He is worthy of his name. He did it well and he did it wonderfully. What happened today will be inevitable."

It has become a legend in the literary world!"

Wu Dinghou couldn't help but twitch his face. To Xu Jin, it was a good story in the literary world, but to him, it was a self-humiliation!

At this moment, Lu Zhuo suddenly stood up and said: "Xu Ziqian, I happen to have a couplet to ask you for advice. Do you dare to take it?"

"Why don't you dare? It's just that if I write the second line against you, won't Lu Juzhi leave Xiangshan Villa immediately and not participate in the next spring appreciation party?" Xu Jin had long since disliked this showman and simply hugged him.

Hit the rabbit and kick this guy out early.

Lu Zhuo couldn't help but change his face, his reason told him that he couldn't agree, but as a mad man, his strong self-esteem overcame his reason, and said angrily: "Okay, if you answer the second line, I will leave immediately, but if you can't stand up, I will leave immediately."

Please leave immediately!"

Xu Jin said calmly: "Of course!"

Lu Zhuo said in a cold voice: "Okay, this is what you said, don't regret it." After saying this, he pointed at the ducks playing in the pond outside Fang Pavilion, and chanted loudly: "Seven ducks in the floating pond, count them, there are three pairs and one duck."

!”

As soon as this couplet came out, everyone present took a breath and fell into deep thought.

Wu Dinghou Guo Xun was overjoyed. Although his skills were limited, he also knew that this first couplet was extremely difficult to correct. In addition to meeting the occasion, there were three "number" characters with the same shape and different sounds, and the three doubles and one one added up to exactly "seven".
