Volume 1 The Wind and Cloud of the Qiandu Chapter 22 The Lonely Boat Cold Window
The next day, the Forbidden Palace, the palace of heaven.
Just like before, the golden roof and the red door in the Heavenly Oracle Hall look antique, but they do not lose the royal style!
Emperor Qianhuang sat in the center of the Heavenly Oracle Palace, his expression was calm, and he couldn't see his joys, sorrows, and sorrows. On the other hand, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee in the audience are all sentient beings! Some have bitter worries on their faces, some are cold-eyed bystanders who have nothing to do with their own affairs, and some are as confident as confidence.
However, there was also Feng Yi, the chief envoy of the Great Jin Mission, who was more confident in his superiors! He and the young talents of the Great Jin Dynasty also sat down in the audience one after another, waiting for the Emperor Qian's speech.
Emperor Qianhuang sat on the dragon chair and didn't say a word, as if he was thinking deeply about something!
At this time, Feng Yi, the chief envoy of the Great Jin Mission, walked out of the desk, bowed to the Emperor on the stage, and said. "Your Majesty the Emperor, may I ask today, is there a great talent who will ask me the first question of the Great Jin?"
Feng Yi said that, and the Dajin delegation in the audience all whispered, and their expressions showed excitement!
Emperor Qianhuang saw the slightly embarrassed appearance of the young talent behind Feng Yi, frowned, and said dishappily. "Lord Feng! This court meeting has just begun, and I will definitely be able to give you a satisfactory answer!"
After the Emperor finished speaking, he swept his gaze over the ministers in the audience and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, Aiqing, can you meditate all night?"
Immediately, several scholars hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully to the Emperor and asked for an answer to this question.
"A pool of water, throw in two or three stones..."
"A clear spring, two or three koi fish at the bottom of the water, four emerge..."
When these scholars finished speaking one after another, the Qianhuang who was frowning did not relax. After hearing this, King Rong Kemo in the audience also shook his head secretly, this is obviously the next link that came out overnight, and there is no beauty!
Yang Yi of the Great Jin Mission came out of his seat. Laughed at the scholars. "Could this be the world's most well-rated Daqian literati? This pair of couplets is really funny enough! The words do not reach the meaning, and they are forcibly paired, which is funny!"
"You!" the scholars glared.
"Yang Yi! Stand down! You must not be rude in front of the Emperor!" Feng Yi said to Yang Yi without a serious smile. He turned around and bowed to Emperor Qian, and said apologetically: "Yang Yi is young and vigorous! I also hope that His Majesty Emperor Qianhuang Haihan! However, the next link of these scholars is indeed a bit far-fetched!"
Emperor Qianhuang waved his hand, his eyes turned to King Rong Kemo, and when he was about to say something to him, the fifth prince stood up! Lang Sheng said to Emperor Qian, "Father, Emperor!
"Oh, what's the matter with you!"
"There is a scribe under my seat who can neatly make this couplet! It is better to let the retainer invite him out and compete with the Great Jin Mission!" said the fifth prince Ji Yu, and glanced at the third prince Ji Yin, who had been sitting and watching, with slightly provocative eyes.
Not to be outdone, Ji Yin looked at Ji Yu and showed a hint of a smile, as if to say again: Please start your performance!
"Accurate!"
A middle-aged scribe walked out beside Ji Yu, it was his advisor Jin Yue! After Jin Yue bowed to the Qianhuang Emperor, he said to Yang Yi: "You stinky child, you better go home and drink milk! The court couplet is not suitable for you!"
"You!"
The atmosphere in the Heavenly Oracle Hall instantly became tense, and the two sides drew their swords and opened their crossbows!
The middle-aged scribe Jin Yue Langlang said, "The next couplet I came out is, one side of the pen and ink, carrying two or three words, reading the four books and five classics, quoting the six classics and seven classics, and establishing eight words and nine songs, which can be described as very accurate!"
As soon as the words fell, the audience was in an uproar! "Good! Not bad!" The ministers of the DPRK and China also applauded. Even the Qianhuang's frown soothed a little.
This time it was Feng Yi's turn to be a little unhappy! He frowned, thinking about the next countermeasures. But Yang Yi beside him looked confident, gave Feng Yi a stable look, and signaled that he was fine!
However, Yang Yi, who was crowned, looked at Jin Yue without showing weakness, and said with a smile: "You are so crazy that I am so big! You are so reluctant to come up with this couplet, isn't it impossible to live in vain for half a lifetime! Although the battle is neat, the number of words can also correspond! But the meaning of the words is very confusing, and the artistic conception is even more incompatible, it is simply a bull's head and a horse's mouth! It makes people laugh and be generous!"
"You!" Jin Yue, a middle-aged scribe, also knew the flaws of his lower couplet, but because of the hurried preparation, it was extremely difficult to get this neat lower couplet!
When the fifth prince saw that his adviser Jin Yue was also defeated, his face turned green for a while! He originally wanted to increase the emperor's satisfaction with him by answering the first question of the Great Jin delegation in front of the emperor! By the way, he made a mistake in Ji Yin's sharp spirit, but in the end he fell short!
"That's enough!" said Emperor Qian, clapping his palm on the desk. He pressed his last hope on Ke Mo, turned around and asked Rong Wang Ke Mo: "The person I invited before, has he arrived?"
King Rong Kemo took a step forward and said respectfully, "Back to Your Majesty! This person broke his leg because he was walking his dog! Therefore, he was unable to follow his ministers to the palace Heavenly Oracle Palace!"
"Presumptuous! Father wants to see him, how can he not see him!" At this time, the fifth prince Ji Yu spread his anger to Ke Modao.
When Emperor Qianhuang heard Ke Mo's words, he also looked at Ke Mo's gaze unkindly! If he couldn't give a reason, he would definitely not have any good fruit to eat!
"Your Majesty, don't worry! Although he can't be there, he will bring this link to your Majesty on the rice paper!" Ke Mo said unhurriedly.
"Oh, show me!"
After Ke Mo said that, he took out a sealed roll of rice paper from his sleeve and presented it to the Emperor step by step!
Emperor Qianhuang handed over the rice paper and spread it on the desk. After the Emperor carefully appreciated it, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a satisfied smile!
"Ke Mo! You're doing a good job this time!" the Emperor praised Ke Mo.
The audience was in an uproar! I was puzzled by Emperor Qian's move! Even Feng Yi, the chief envoy of the Great Jin Mission, had a slight ominous premonition in his heart!
"Ke Mo, you will announce this link to the public, and see whether the Great Jin Mission is satisfied or not?"
"No!" Ke Mo respectfully took the rice paper, glanced around the Heavenly Oracle Palace, looked at the puzzled eyes of the ministers in the audience, and said loudly.
"A lonely boat, sitting on two or three sorcerers, using four oars and five sails, passing through six beaches and seven bays, going through eight bumps and nine dusts, it's a pity that it's very late!"
"Ten years of cold windows, entered nine or eight academies, abandoned seven emotions and six desires, studied the Five Classics and four books hard, took the exam three times and twice, and must pass today!"
As soon as the words fell, the audience was silent! The ministers in the audience, as well as the Great Jin Mission, all showed their shocked expressions! The proud Yang Yi and Feng Yi, the middle-aged scribe Jin Yue, who was discolored, and the unwilling Third Prince Ji Yu were all stunned for a while!
This is not only a neat battle, but the meaning of the words is so simple! The artistic conception of this lower couplet, the perfect fit, and the reflection of the upper couplet! As if this couplet was born like this!
The ministers in the audience praised one after another.
"Wonderful! The couplet and this side of the couplet! Rare in the world!"
"Yes, I'm sure the author of this pair must be a strange person!"
"Only a strange person can have such a battle of tooling and such a perfect artistic conception! I am really curious about what this person looks like!"
"This time, it's our big guy, slapping the face of the Great Jin Mission!
