Zhao Kang suddenly became angry. Qi Jie panicked and felt his legs and feet were a little weak.
"Listen carefully, my first couplet is, Wangjiang Tower, Wangjiang Flow, Wangjiang Tower, Wangjiang Flow, Jiang Tower Eternal, River Flow Eternal!"
Qi Jie was so confused that he didn't even understand what Zhao Kang's first line was. All he could think about now was that he was going to lose.
If he loses, Zhou will lose tens of millions of silver, and as Zhao Kang's opponent, he will probably be drowned in the spit of Zhou's scholars!
The whole person was instantly in chaos.
Gongsun Yunxiu looked at him and hesitated for a moment before choosing to remain silent.
Zhao Kang's first couplet can be said to be difficult, but she is not an ordinary person and has already prepared a response in her heart.
As a person from the Zhou Dynasty and the dean of the academy, it stands to reason that he should lend a helping hand at this time.
But when I thought about the despicable methods Qi Jie and Li Musen used in an attempt to defeat Zhao Kang.
Gongsun Yunxiu chose to remain silent.
Zhao Kang did not urge Qi Jie to give the second line. He could see that Qi Jie was now in a state of chaos and had an unstable mentality.
In this situation, it is absolutely impossible for him to win against himself!
As expected, Qi Jie hesitated there for a long time without an answer.
Li Musen looked anxious and his eyes were red: "Qi Jie! Why are you standing there so stupidly! Take the next line!"
"Ah? Me! Me!"
Being shouted at like this, Qi Jie was even more excited and lost his train of thought.
At this moment, Ye Hongxue stood up and shouted loudly: "It's time!"
Everyone in the Zhou Kingdom was shocked and suddenly turned their heads to look at the hourglass. Only then did they realize that all the grains of sand in the hourglass had fallen!
The time is up, but Qi Jie did not give the second line, he lost!
"Lost!"
As if all the energy and energy had been sucked out of his body, Qi Jie collapsed directly on the ground and murmured.
Immediately afterwards, he fainted and his body even twitched!
Lost! I didn’t expect to lose!
His Highness Li Musen clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were red as if he wanted to kill someone.
I never thought that I would actually lose!
And he lost so miserably and was crushed from start to finish!
Twenty literary masters carefully selected by the entire Zhou Dynasty were killed to pieces by Zhao Kang, leaving them defenseless!
These people were the reason why he held the cultural conference! But how could he lose so easily?
In the past, Li Musen wouldn't have believed it if he was beaten to death! But it just happened!
"I'm not convinced! Come again!"
Li Musen, who couldn't accept the defeat, was like a gambler who was desperate to lose. He just wanted to get back his money. He roared at Zhao Kang like a wild beast: "Let's compete again! Gongsun Yunxiu, you come and fight Zhao Kang this time!"
"
Zhao Kang sneered: "Okay, I'll fight with my country's masters as many times as I can, but first I'll hand over the money I lost before!"
"You! Will my Highness rely on you?" Li Musen was a little unsure.
Zhao Kang sneered: "Let's talk about whether we are deadbeats or not. I am willing to admit defeat. My master is not like your second highness, your family has a big business. I am still waiting for money to buy rouge and gouache for my wife!"
Ye Hongxue smiled brightly.
Li Musen wanted to say something else, but at this time Li Chengkun, who had been silent, spoke up.
"enough!"
Zhao Kang was not afraid at all. He looked at Li Chengkun and said calmly: "Now that your Majesty has said enough, please fulfill the bet. Whether you want to continue playing or not, all our teachers will accompany you."
There was indescribable anger hidden under his calm eyes. Li Chengkun suppressed his anger and said: "Master Chen, the Minister of Household Affairs."
Chen Shangyun stood up cautiously: "I am here."
"Within today, exchange the silver deposits in the treasury into silver notes and deliver them to Zhao Guoshi. Don't miss a penny!"
By the end of the story, Li Chengkun almost broke his teeth.
This time I really lost my pants!
Chen Shangyun said hurriedly: "I obey your order!"
After saying this, the Hubu Shangshu left the main hall directly. Only he, the Hubu Shangshu, who was in charge of the money bag, could collect ten million in silver notes in such a short period of time.
"Father!"
Li Musen shouted anxiously, and Li Chengkun glanced over. Immediately, the second prince did not dare to breathe or fart.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Kang knew that this emperor of the Zhou Kingdom was not an ordinary person, even though he was already sixty.
But its control over the Zhou Dynasty is still unparalleled!
Li Chengkun stood up, and all the officials also stood up.
"Today's literary meeting, the winner is Zhao Kang, the national master of the Qian Kingdom! Wu Qing."
Upon hearing His Majesty's call, Wu Qing, the Imperial Academy of Zhou's Imperial College, came out quickly and said, "Your Majesty is here."
"Publish a statement to tell the world the results of this literary competition."
Li Chengkun looked at Zhao Kang and smiled: "Although I, the Zhou Kingdom, lost, we cannot afford to lose. Zhao Guoshi's literary talent is astonishing and can be regarded as the best in the world. I hope that the Qianguo literary world can prosper because of Zhao Guoshi in the future!"
He is a spirited master! This is probably the so-called character of a superior!
Zhao Kang thought to himself, the more this kind of person is, the harder it will be to deal with him!
He responded: "Your Majesty is so generous. I accept your Majesty's good advice."
Li Chengkun smiled slightly and asked everyone to take their seats. He then waved his hand to inform everyone that the banquet would continue and asked the palace maids and eunuchs to serve wine.
A cultural meeting was originally aimed at Zhao Kang and Qian Guo, but Zhao Kang lost his armor and lost his armor and won a complete victory.
Li Chengkun can only maintain his proper character to avoid further embarrassment.
But it is said that after the banquet that day, Li Chengkun smashed everything in the harem, even breaking the glass diamond that Zhao Kang presented as a birthday gift.
I almost made Li Chengkun angry to death!
At night.
In the Imperial Study Room, six senior officials were standing, with the eldest prince Li Muyi and the second prince Li Musen standing on the left and right.
Emperor Li Chengkun sat behind the desk with bloodshot eyes.
Gongsun Yunxiu, the dean of the academy, held a jade flute and looked calm.
The atmosphere seemed a little solemn for a while.
After a long while, Li Chengkun said: "Chen Shangyun, are you ready with the money you should give?"
Chen Shangyun said respectfully: "Your Majesty, we have collected everything, a total of ten million taels."
"Give him the money then."
Li Chengkun snorted: "I didn't expect this Zhao Kang to be so powerful! Poems, articles, couplets, our Zhou Dynasty is known as the most powerful country in both civil and military affairs, but no one can win against him! It seems that they are all just people who are seeking fame!"
Li Musen looked at Gongsun Yunxiu with gloomy eyes: "If Gongsun and everyone hadn't refused to take action! How could I, Dazhou, be defeated so miserably!"
Gongsun Yunxiu didn't care about the second prince's blame-shifting. She had long known what kind of character the other prince had.
He said calmly: "So what if Yunxiu takes action, he is still no match for Zhao Guoshi. Zhao Guoshi's literary talent is rare in the world, and Yunxiu thinks he can't match it."
Li Musen said angrily: "Gongsun Yunxiu, you are the dean of my Dazhou Academy after all. The current leader of the literary world, can you have some backbone?"
Gongsun Yunxiu said with a mocking smile: "People know how to value themselves."
