Zhao Kang walked onto the stage step by step. Before he could take his seat, Zhang Sheng, who was opposite him, put his hands together and performed a scholar's ceremony.
This move made everyone in the audience look at him, and Prince Ning Xiao Feiyu exclaimed: "As expected of Zhang Zi, facing an opponent like Zhao Kang, he still has not lost the slightest bit of scholarly character."
"Zhao Kang is still a junior in terms of age, but Zhang Zi has already been famous all over the world. Being able to do this is not only a show of respect for Zhao Kang."
Chen Wang Xiao Feiting said a little sternly: "It also means that Zhang Zi will do his best this time."
"good."
Xiao Feihan, the king of Qi, also said: "A duel is not as good as a poem. The quality of a poem will be clear after it is written. But a duel not only requires more knowledge than the two parties, but also a quick mind."
, otherwise once the time exceeds, it will be equivalent to losing."
Xiao Xuance on the side didn't quite understand, but he sat up straight and secretly cheered Zhao Kang on.
Her Majesty the Empress couldn't take her eyes off Zhao Kang and clenched her fists nervously after Zhao Kang came to power.
Zhao Kang was a little surprised when he saw Zhang Sheng saluting him across from him. His expression softened slightly and he returned the salute. He then stood up and his eyes became sharp.
This old gentleman is no simple opponent.
Seeing that both parties were seated, Guo Fengyu, the host of the literary fight, took out a delicate hourglass from under the table to use for timing.
The time for each reversal is about one minute.
He loudly said: "In the third couplet battle, Zhang Zi takes the lead. The quicksand is exhausted and the time limit starts now."
Zhang Sheng looked at Zhao Kang and smiled slightly: "Mr. Zhao, I came all the way to do something for my country, so this is the first line of the couplet. I think of you, my country, and the country. Please give me Mr. Zhao's advice."
Guo Fengyu quickly turned over the hourglass, and at the same time was shocked that Zhang Zi's move was indeed extraordinary!
The literati students on stage also became nervous. In addition to paying attention to the balance between pairs, there is also the meaning contained in the pairs.
Zhang Zi's couplet covers the kingdoms of the Zhou Dynasty, the country, the country, the country, and the country, so the meaning cannot be taken lightly.
Zhao Kang is afraid that he is in danger!
Countless pairs of eyes looked at Zhao Kang, waiting for him to pick him up, but saw him open his fan and smile softly.
"Mr. Zhang, I, Zhao Kang, am just a commoner. I am here today because of the trust of my Empress Da Gan, so my second line is."
"I would like to say thank you, thank God, thank you!"
"Absolutely awesome!"
As soon as Zhao Kang finished speaking, Guo Fengyu on the stage couldn't help but cheer, but later realized that he had lost his composure and quickly covered his mouth.
He just looked at Zhao Kang with eyes full of admiration.
He was a minister of the Imperial Academy, and naturally he was also a well-educated man. As soon as Zhang Zi's first couplet came out, he was thinking about it secretly, but he couldn't think of it.
I never thought that Zhao Kang would actually write the second line in such a short time!
It’s really awesome!
"Thank you for your thoughts, heaven and earth for the king, emperor for the country! It's so neat! What a Zhao Kang!"
Prince Ming Xiao Feilong, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but admire and turned to look at the empress.
"Your Majesty, this son is a great talent and a pillar. No matter whether he wins or loses this civil war, Your Majesty will keep him in the court. He will be your Majesty's help in the future."
Xiao Linglong nodded: "What the emperor uncle said is what I will consider carefully."
There was a roar of applause from the audience. Zhang Zi didn't see any panic but still calmly stretched out his hand: "Mr. Zhao is a great talent, it's your turn to do the right thing."
Zhao Kang was not polite and started with a palindrome couplet: "My first couplet is painted with lotus flowers and monks."
Zhang Sheng's expression changed slightly, and everyone thought slightly after hearing this.
I was extremely surprised, because Zhao Kang's first couplet was actually the same as the sentence Li Muqing used to preempt others three days ago.
The phoenix falling on the phoenix tree and the phoenix falling on the phoenix tree have different approaches but the same effect.
At first, each of them could guess the first couplet correctly, but they didn't expect that Zhao Kang actually gave a first couplet in the same way this time.
"Wonderful, not only can this couplet be read backwards, but a person's name is embedded in the middle, and the combination of movement and stillness in the first name is unrivaled!" A scholar clapped his hands excitedly.
Li Muqing was even more shocked. As far as he knew, this kind of palindrome couplet was the first created by Zhang Zi.
How could this kid do it!
One of Ye Hongxue and Liu Hanlong was nervous, and the other looked at the stage with a complicated expression.
Zhang Sheng's brows widened and he was obviously confident.
He smiled and said: "My second couplet is written in the Han Dynasty and Han Lin's book."
Zhao Kang nodded. He was worthy of being called the first writer, and he was certainly not an ordinary person.
Guo Fengyu flipped the hourglass, and now it was Zhang Sheng's turn to make the right move, and Zhao Kang took over.
The two people were seen going back and forth and everyone was in awe.
"The eight great kings of harps, harps, and lutes, your Majesty is on top!"
"Four ghosts, monsters, ghosts, ghosts and ghosts are on the border!"
"Red flowers are everywhere, and green leaves are everywhere!"
"The maple falls on the sycamore tree and the phoenix falls on the phoenix tree, and the pearls join the wall together!"
…
After several tit-for-tat confrontations, the two of them could no longer sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and stood up. Each time they exited, it became harder to exit.
Even Xiao Xuance couldn't help raising his voice and whispered: "Sister, I think that old guy is very powerful. After thinking about it several times, he cracked Zhao Kang's pair. Can Zhao Kang win?"
"I don't know either."
Xiao Linglong's throat rolled slightly: "Zhao Kang has already made several absolute pairs, but they were all caught by Zhang Zi. Obviously Zhao Kang's idea of a quick victory will not work."
Guo Fengyu on the side quickly recorded the pairs played by Zhao Kang and Zhang Sheng.
Some of these pairs were things he had never heard of, let alone thought about.
At the moment, I just felt that I had read too few books on wine worship, and I couldn’t compare to the two people on the stage.
"Smoke Lock Pond Willow!"
Finally, Zhao Kang couldn't help but used his trump card. Zhang Sheng was stunned instantly! His eyelids were twitching wildly and he was sweating profusely.
Everyone in the audience was stunned and then came to their senses.
"What a fool! Absolute for eternity! Absolute for eternity!"
"The willows locked in the pond by smoke are so beautiful. The thick fog locks the weeping willows by the clear pond! And the radical of each word is the five elements! Absolute! This is the real absolute!"
"No one can stand up to this!"
The students in the audience shouted!
"Oh no!"
Liu Hanlong in the audience couldn't help but stand up. He saw that Zhang Sheng on the stage was sweating profusely and seemed to be struggling.
Li Muqing was shocked and said quickly: "No, everyone in this world can beat Mr. in couplets!"
Zhao Kang smiled coldly on the stage, "It's a pity that I am not from this world. Are you going to fight with me?"
Are you okay?
The killing weapon of Yansuo Pondliu was regarded as absolute even in the previous life. The few answers were either inconsistent or not meaningful enough.
In such a short time, even Zhang Sheng didn't believe he could get it right.
However, the facts show that Zhao Kang still underestimated the world's leading literati.
Just when the quicksand was about to end, when Guo Fengyu was about to announce that he was the winner, Zhang Sheng's eyes suddenly flashed.
"My second couplet, the peach burns the Qianjiang embankment!"
His words shocked millions of people, and the victory he achieved seemed to be reversed!
