Chen Bo and I looked at Wang Yue's tightly knit brows, and we were also pondering the poems in our hearts, just as we were thinking, Wang Yue arched his hand to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you have made it below." ”

"Speak." The emperor was also overjoyed, looked at Wang Yue and said.

Wang Yue bent down and gave a salute, and said loudly: "Waiting for meritorious heroes in the palace, reading the rivers and mountains outside the court, reciting the mountains and rivers of the Markham sage, and the future generations have heard a lot of words!" ”

"What a posterity!" The emperor listened to Wang Yue say this poem, and couldn't help but admire.

"Emperor Xie praised it." Wang Yue saluted, and retreated among us.

The emperor looked at me and Chen Bo, and asked aloud, "Can you two write poems?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the grass people will do it." Chen Bo stepped forward to salute the emperor, and then recited quietly: "Everyone in the world says that saints are good, but how do you know that saints have a lot of troubles, all the temples are knowledgeable, and all the princes are outstanding!" ”

"Well, that's good!" The emperor nodded, and looked at me in a blink of an eye.

Facing the emperor's gaze, I stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for the grass people to compose poems next." Saying that, I paused, and recited quietly: "There are many words in the high hall, and the meaning is true in the market, and the scholar's church knows the holy will, and the general should repay the country's kindness." ”

"Ha Lu Ha Ha Ha ......, a good candidate should repay the country!" The emperor listened to me finish reciting this poem, and said aloud with a smile.

"Thank you for your praise." I thanked them and retreated between them.

The emperor looked at the three of us and nodded incessantly, as if he appreciated us very much. The three of us were silent, waiting for the emperor to make a judgment.

After a while, the emperor looked at the three of us and said, "The three of you can make the topic I came up with in such a short period of time, and there is no lack of outstanding talent, which is also greatly unexpected by me, the poems you made just now are all high-quality, and in my opinion, the champion should be ......," said deliberately, looked at the three of us and said, "It should be...... Bi Ran! The emperor's eyes suddenly fixed on me.

"Your Majesty, the champion is...... I......? "At this moment, I couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. Although I am very confident that I will get this title. But in the face of Chen Bo and Wang Yue, two strong opponents, to be honest, I can't help but feel a little timid in my heart, at this moment I am not fighting alone, I am not fighting alone. Behind me are my family and my friends. Without their support. I wouldn't have achieved this ...... under any circumstances.

The emperor looked at me with an excited expression on his face and nodded slightly.

"Emperor Xie......." I fell to the ground and thanked him loudly.

Before I could say my thanks, a sharp voice suddenly came from outside the hall: "Lord Chen greets the emperor......!" ”

"Xuan!" The emperor replied loudly.

The father-in-law standing beside the emperor shouted loudly at the right time: "Lord Xuanchen is here!" ”

"Lord Xuanchen is here!" There was also a shout outside the door.

As soon as the shout fell. I heard the outer door of the hall being opened, and before I saw the figure, the voice of Lord Chen came: "Xiaguan Chen Kang, meet the emperor." ”

I listened and fixed my eyes, and at a glance I saw Lord Chen who was worshipping in the hall, hey, this old man's feet are good, and he appeared in the main hall in the blink of an eye.

"Chen Aiqing, get up." The emperor said.

"Your Majesty." Master Chen thanked him again and then stood up.

The emperor looked at Lord Chen, who stood up, and asked loudly: "I didn't say anything to Lord Chen this morning, I thought that Lord Chen had nothing else to do, I don't know why Lord Chen came here at this time?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the lower officials are for the palace to test the top three." Master Chen said, his eyes already looking at the three of us.

"Oh? For the sake of the top three? The emperor was also slightly surprised.

"Exactly." Lord Chen nodded with a salute.

"Then I don't know what Lord Chen thinks about the top three things?" The emperor looked at Lord Chen with interest and asked.

Lord Chen saluted the emperor and said, "The emperor has a good reputation, and I can't say it, but I just have some ideas." As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at the three of us again.

Facing his eyes, my heart is really a little timid, not the kind of scared timidity, but I don't know the strength of the opponent to be timid, although I have dealt with the 'Kang Daren' in front of me many times before, but I can't see through his strength in the end, let him look at it like this, it's really a little frightening!

Lord Chen looked at the three of us for a while, especially at me for a long time, before turning his head to look at the emperor and said, "Dare to ask the emperor if there is a champion in his heart?" ”

"Just now I and the three of them are talking about this, I think that Bi Ran can become the champion." The emperor looked at me with a smile.

"No." When Lord Chen heard this, he immediately responded.

When the emperor heard this, he looked at Lord Chen suspiciously, and asked in surprise: "I don't know why Lord Chen said that Bi Ran can't be the champion?" ”

Lord Chen glanced at me and said respectfully to the emperor: "Back to the emperor, the three of them are indeed talented and learned, and the old ministers who made poems can't catch up, but if they choose Bi Ran as the champion, the old ministers think it is biased." ”

The emperor listened to Lord Chen's words, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he could see that he was a little dissatisfied with what Lord Chen said.

Without waiting for the emperor to ask, Lord Chen continued: "The old minister thinks that judging by the poems written in the palace test yesterday, this Chen Gongzi should be better, and this prince and this Bi Gongzi are on par, but the old minister heard that the emperor ordered the three of them to improvise a poem today, which is a decision that can be judged, but I don't know how the poems of the three of them are?" ”

The emperor frowned slightly, and said to the three of us: "The three of you will tell Master Chen about the poems you wrote today. ”

"Yes." When the three of us heard this, we each said the poem we had just written, but Master Chen did not immediately express his opinion, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.

"I wonder what Lord Chen will do after listening to these three poems?" The emperor looked at him and asked.

"Back to the emperor, although these three poems were improvised, they showed the talent in the chest of these three sons, all of them are good poems, but they are just ...... Lao Chen still thinks that the talent of the champion is not this Chen Gongzi. Master Chen said respectfully.

"Oh?" The emperor asked, "Then please ask Lord Chen to taste it and listen to it."

"Yes." Lord Chen bowed his hand, and then said: "The poems written by Wang Gongzi are in line with the emperor's title, and the poems also contain some indescribable artistic conceptions, which are definitely good poems; The poems made by Bi Gongzi can be regarded as corresponding to the majesty of this hall, and they can also skillfully express the national heroes in one word, good poems; Although the poems written by Chen Gongzi are suspected of being limericks, they can show the great achievements of the emperor in this hall very well, and they are easy to understand, which also reaches the highest level of poetry, so the old minister thinks that the poems made by Chen Gongzi are really of the highest quality. ”

I listened to Master Chen's analysis, and couldn't help but scold in my heart, hum, although Chen Bo and I are very good friends, but you don't need to talk nonsense because he has the same surname as you, damn, what is called 'the highest state of poetry', do you really think that you are Li Bai Du Fu?!

The emperor listened to Lord Chen's words as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he looked at Lord Chen and asked: "Lord Chen's idea is not unreasonable, it is better to be like this, since Lord Chen thinks that Master Chen can be the champion, then why don't you ask Lord Chen to come up with a topic, and then let the three of them improvise poems, and ask Lord Chen to taste the poems with me, how about it?" ”

"Your Majesty." Lord Chen listened to the emperor's words and hurriedly responded with a salute.

"Okay, since Lord Chen has agreed, then ask Lord Chen to come up with the question." The emperor said.

Hearing this, Master Chen straightened up and looked at the three of us, his eyes seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while, he said, "Yes, I will ask the three sons to compose a poem on the theme of peach blossoms, okay?!" ”

"Okay, then the three of you will improvise a poem on the theme of peach blossoms for me and Master Chen to taste." The emperor listened to Lord Chen's words and also spoke.

"Yes." The three of us were busy saluting.
