No one here is stupid, so Li Musen's tricks cannot be hidden from everyone's eyes.
Gongsun Yunxiu frowned slightly, glanced at Qi Jie, but didn't say anything after all.
As a member of the academy, Qi Jie, Gongsun Yunxiu, knew very well how many things she had in her belly.
Although he didn't think Qi Jie could defeat Zhao Kang in the couplet, now that Li Musen had to use this method to get the upper hand, he obviously had a lot of confidence.
She only hoped that Qi Jie would use his true talents and knowledge to compete with Zhao Kang, instead of some evil ways.
So as not to ruin the reputation of the academy.
Li Musen pretended not to hear Wu Tianhu's taunt, glanced at Qi Jie, and then sat down.
At this moment, everyone in Qi seemed to be winning. They looked at Zhao Kang and smiled slightly: "Master Zhao, you will definitely lose this time!"
"I hope the couplets you publish can be as many as your nonsense." Zhao Kang said calmly.
Qi Jie was stunned, a look of indignation flashed across his face, and he immediately said: "Listen to my first couplet!"
Everyone's attention was drawn, Qi Jie smiled playfully: "Lonely and cold, a widow with an empty window!"
Zhao Kang was stunned for a moment, and Ye Hongxue, who was standing by him, frowned, his expression full of shame: "Despicable!"
Gongsun Yunxiu's eyes darkened and he looked at Qi Jie in the field. It seemed that he still thought highly of them!
That's right, the way Qi Jie and Li Musen finally came up with was to use the combination in which Zhao Kang defeated Zhang Sheng to deal with Zhao Kang.
When Zhao Kang defeated Zhang Sheng, the whole process spread to the Zhou Kingdom. After the two eternal laws of "Smoking the Willow in the Pond and Being a Widow in the Lonely Cold Window" were introduced to the Zhou Kingdom, it can be said to have caused an uproar.
The literary style of the Zhou Dynasty was very popular, and literary gatherings and couplet fighting were often organized among the people.
As soon as the couplet "Loneliness and cold window and empty window" was introduced, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people. Many people racked their brains to find the second couplet, and some even offered huge rewards.
But no one can match this couplet.
Over time, being a lonely and cold widow in the Zhou Kingdom became regarded as an eternal absolute!
After all, this is a couplet that even Zhang Sheng, who faced Yansuo Pochiliu, could not match!
And the reason why Li Musen didn't hesitate to play tricks in front of everyone and let Qi Jie take the lead was to defeat Zhao Kang with Zhao Kang's top line!
Hearing Ye Hongxue's despicable words, Qi Jie'er blushed, but then he put aside his face.
As long as you can beat Zhao Kang, nothing else matters.
"Master Zhao, this is my first couplet, it's your turn!"
Ye Hongxue said angrily: "Shameless! Are you worthy of being called a scholar? This is clearly Zhao Kang's first couplet!"
Li Musen shouted: "General Ye's words are wrong. We never said in advance that we are not allowed to use the first couplet that our opponent has used!"
Ye Hongxue turned to look at Li Chengkun who was smiling on the dragon throne: "Your Majesty, does it mean that Your Majesty also agrees to this underhanded method?"
Li Chengkun smiled: "What does General Ye mean by this? You really didn't say before the competition that you are not allowed to use this couplet?"
"Although this couplet is said to be from Zhao Guoshi, since we have the opportunity to take the lead, according to the rules of couplets, we can naturally use the first couplet. What's wrong with it?"
It’s over!
Princess Mingzhu lamented in her heart. She was proficient in poetry and songs, so she had naturally heard of this couplet that Zhao Kang used to defeat Zhang Sheng.
I even wanted to write a second line for a while, but to no avail.
No one expected that Qi Jie and Li Musen would be so despicable as to use Zhao Kang's own first couplet to deal with Zhao Kang.
Seeing Zhao Kang's silence, Li Musen couldn't help but laugh: "How? Zhao Guoshi, this is the first couplet you published. Could it be that you don't have the second couplet?"
"Oh, what can we do! Your Highness still wants to show his friendship as a landlord, so he asked everyone to use this couplet. I didn't expect that you, the Imperial Master, can't forgive me!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, in this way, Tongzhou of your country will become Tongzhou of my Great Zhou Dynasty! The time is coming."
Li Musen was very happy at the moment. Zhao Kang's performance in the previous games was really invincible.
He crushed everyone and made it impossible for him to compete with Zhao Kang for verbal advantage!
Now that Zhao Kang has become silent, His Highness feels so happy!
Looking at the hourglass used for timing, Li Musen kept urging secretly.
Wu Guanhai was worried. Looking at Zhao Kang, he couldn't help but said: "National Preceptor?"
Zhao Kang glanced at him, then looked at the hourglass and suddenly sighed: "To be honest, I didn't expect that you would actually use this couplet to deal with me."
Qi Jie laughed: "I told you, Zhao Kang, you are definitely going to lose! How about it? Doesn't it feel good to be stumped by your own first couplet? How can you be able to match it now if it has been so absolute for so long? Just give up!"
"This is indeed an eternal absolute. It's good for you to think about it, but!"
Zhao Kang changed the topic and smiled playfully: "Since I am the one who wrote the first couplet, how can I not be right?"
Everyone was startled and looked at Zhao Kang.
Isn't it?
Does he really have a second line?
It’s impossible. We have been studying this first couplet for so long since we knew it. It is recognized as absolute through the ages. It is absolutely impossible to have a second couplet!
"Mysterious!"
Li Musen looked at Zhao Kang, feeling a little panicked but still said forcefully: "Master Zhao, if you want to do something right, do it quickly, otherwise there will be no time!"
Zhao Kang smiled sarcastically: "Then listen up, my second line is melancholy, worry, and fear of recalling love!"
There was silence, and then the hall instantly turned into a vegetable market!
Qi Jie and Li Musen's eyes widened: "This is impossible!"
"He, he, he...he actually showed up!" Cao Anguo looked like he had seen a ghost.
"Melancholy, worry, fear of remembering love, all seven words stand beside the heart..." Gongsun Yunxiu's eyes were full of disbelief.
In such a short period of time, Zhao Kang actually realized this eternal truth!
Or is it that he already has a second line?
Looking at the stupid Qi Jie and Li Musen, Zhao Kang looked like he was looking at two fools.
It is true that loneliness and being a widow in a cold window can be said to be eternal. Even in China, it has stumped countless people. However, in those long years, there were a few reasonable second lines.
The melancholy, worry, fear, and recollection of love are the most commonly used ones. The person in the second couplet here is none other than Li Qingzhao, who is known as the most talented woman throughout the ages!
Zhao Kang smiled half-heartedly and said deliberately: "Tsk, tsk, use my first couplet to embarrass me. If I hadn't known that it was you, the Second Highness, who made the mistake, I would have thought that all of us here are undercover agents of our Qian Kingdom."
"You don't think about it, since I wrote the first couplet, how could I not have the second couplet? You two are really like sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks!"
"you……"
Li Musen was so angry that he was shaking all over, and he really wanted to vomit blood, although the words "crouching dragon and phoenix chick" sounded pretty good.
But why does it sound like hurting others when it comes out of Zhao Kang's mouth?
At this moment, Zhao Kang's eyes fell on Qi Jie: "Everyone Qi, now it's your turn to pick up my first couplet!"
