Di Luoxi's song "Jiang Xue" shocked the audience. Even Yu Shinan, the great scribe of Southern Liang, was shocked and couldn't help but admire it.
After the empress heard this, her eyes immediately fell on Long Chen.
She knew that Di Luoxi didn't have this talent, so it must have been written by the eunuch behind her.
The empress was surprised that a eunuch could have such literary talent.
The second princess, Emperor Xingwan, also turned to look at Long Chen. She also knew that the fourth sister, Emperor Luoxi, did not have such a good literary talent.
"I accepted the concession, so may I ask, Prince, should your Linjiang City be dedicated to our Eastern Zhou Dynasty?"
Di Luoxi immediately demanded Linjiang City tit for tat.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Nanliang City face each other across the river. Diaoyu City is the fortress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and Linjiang City is the fortress of Nanliang City.
Yu Shinan recovered from the shock and immediately said: "No, although this poem is good, it cannot completely beat my poem. It can only be said to be a tie."
Prince Li Chengtong also agreed: "Yes, it's hard to distinguish between the fourth princess's poem and Lord Yu's poem."
This is clearly a rogue act, but there is no first in literature and no second in military force. If Nanliang wants to act rogue, there is nothing they can do.
"Hmph, so it's hard to tell the winner of the poetry contest? Then why did you say you won just now? You are so eloquent."
The second princess, Emperor Xingwan, took the opportunity to ridicule him.
The Nanliang delegation was dancing so happily just now, saying that they had won and dared to ask for Diaoyu City.
The great scribe Yu Shinan was arrogant, and when Emperor Xingwan said this, he couldn't help it.
"To determine the outcome of a literary fight, the best way is to pair pairs. We each play the top line, and then play the bottom line. This can determine the outcome."
Yu Shinan proposed a pair of pairs, which is the martial arts in literary fighting.
No matter how you compete in poetry and poetry, you don't have to admit it. The pairs are different. If you can't match them, you lose.
When the empress heard about the pair, she immediately panicked. She knew that Yu Shinan had a nickname, called Dui Chuangchang.
No one in the world can stand up to him.
The civil servants here in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, especially Emperor Xingwan, were also panicked. She was most afraid that Yu Shinan would tell the truth. She was really afraid of what would happen.
"what to do?"
Emperor Xingwan turned to her maid and said, this maid is her female officer and is very talented.
The female officer's face turned pale. She knew even more clearly how vicious Yu Shinan was towards his wife.
"I heard that Yu Shinan once had a match in Wangjiang Tower and made a scholar vomit blood and throw himself into the river."
Qingyue whispered.
Long Chen was surprised: "Is it so powerful?"
Qingyue nodded and looked at Yu Shinan with fearful eyes.
Yu Shinan and Prince Li Chengtong from the Nanliang Mission had discovered the panic in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and they were very proud.
Prince Li Chengtong sneered and said: "Empress, you Eastern Zhou Dynasties seem to have become discouraged. You can admit defeat on the spot to avoid embarrassment."
The second prince Li Jiye sneered and said: "Master Yu once had a duel with your Eastern Zhou Dynasty celebrity Qian Jun in Wangjiang Tower. Qian Jun couldn't stand up to him and vomited blood and threw himself into the river on the spot."
"There is only a frozen river outside the Daming Palace. It's a bit difficult to commit suicide. How about hanging a white silk ribbon on the beam of the Daming Palace first, and whoever loses hangs himself?"
Li Jiye's words made Dong Zhou furious. Emperor Luo Xi was as fierce as fire. He turned around and asked Long Chen in a low voice: "Is it okay for you to be a pair?"
Long Chen thought to himself: Nonsense, it’s okay for a woman to ask a man, it’s definitely okay, even with chopsticks attached!
"No problem, hang up Bai Ling first, then I'll kill him!"
Di Luoxi was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "You guys are talking too much. Let's get it right first. It's not certain who hangs himself."
The Empress and Emperor Xingwan looked at Long Chen at the same time. They knew that Di Luoxi was a dabbler and if he dared to confront Yu Shinan, this little eunuch must be helping him.
Yu Shinan chuckled and said: "Okay, the fourth princess is indeed a hero among women, she is so confident, let's get started."
"You come first or me first?"
Di Luoxi sneered: "We are the hosts, you are the guests, you come first."
The empress frowned and asked Yu Shinan to play the first couplet first? That's not a good idea. It would be too embarrassing if the first pair fails.
Yu Shinan stood up from his seat, held a folding fan, walked to the middle aisle, stroked his beard slightly, and then said: "A country will surely perish!"
When Di Xingwan heard the first couplet, his brows immediately furrowed. It was a curse word.
This is called the Zangwei couplet. When a country is about to perish, there must be monsters. This is calling the empress a monster. It also says that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty will destroy the country. This couplet is so vicious.
After listening to the first couplet at night, Emperor Xingwan thought to himself: He is worthy of being a fatal scholar from Nanliang, and his words are quite vicious!
Di Luoxi turned to look at Long Chen, who had already handed over a piece of paper.
"Empress, it's your turn!"
Yu Shinan sneered.
The empress looked at Emperor Xingwan, who shook his head slightly, expressing his disapproval.
The empress looked at Di Luoxi again.
“That’s why you don’t die until you grow old!”
Di Luoxi's clear voice broke the silence.
After Yu Shinan heard this, he frowned and his face looked very ugly.
To be old but not to die is to be a thief. The meaning of this second line is to call Yu Shinan an old thief.
A hint of joy appeared on the empress' serious face, and she said with a smile: "Master Yu, what do you think?"
Yu Shinan also noticed Long Chen behind Di Luoxi. He glanced at Long Chen and felt a familiar aura, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
"Hmph! It's a tie, it's your turn."
Yu Shinan looked directly at Long Chen, while Prince Li Chengtong and the other three princes also looked in the direction of Di Luoxi.
Di Luoxi knew that her backup had been discovered, but she had no problem with Long Chen this time, because Long Chen had just written the first couplet.
"one two three four five six seven!"
Di Luoxi's voice, as clear as a silver bell, sounded, and everyone in the audience understood it clearly.
However, after listening to it, everyone was confused and didn't know what it meant.
Di Xingwan thought about it for a moment, not knowing what it meant at all.
Prince Li Chengtong was also puzzled and didn't know what this couplet meant.
Only Yu Shinan's face turned the color of pig liver, and he understood.
Di Luoxi actually didn't know what this couplet meant. Wasn't it just a few numbers?
But when she saw Yu Shinan's ugly face, Di Luoxi knew that this couplet must be a curse.
Yu Shinan held it in for a long time, glared at Long Chen angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "We are the envoys of Nanliang, how dare you scold me!"
Di Luoxi smiled in her heart: It was indeed a curse word.
The empress didn't understand and asked, "Why are you scolding you?"
Yu Shinan said angrily: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, but I forgot eight. This is calling me a bastard!"
puff....
Di Luoxi finally understood what he meant. It turned out that Long Chen called Yu Shinan a bastard.
There was a burst of laughter in Dongzhou, and Yu Shinan's face became even more ugly.
Prince Li Chengtong felt endlessly humiliated, and the great scribe Yu Shinan was actually so angry?
"Master Yu, it's rude not to return when you come, so go back!"
Yu Shinan looked troubled and thought for a long time, not knowing how to scold him back skillfully.
"That's all, you win this time, I'll do it this time!"
"Fourth princess, stop being a mouthpiece. I know it's the little eunuch who is making the plans, so I'll fight him alone!"
Yu Shinan named Long Chen and wanted to confront him.
