"This lord is not only brilliant in literature, but also proficient in military affairs, knows how to go to the army to fight, and does not create a way to kill and abuse!" Lotte opened his mouth and praised.

"Le Hou Ye is too famous!" Na Xixia Wenchen said modestly, "Please also ask Master Hou not to hide it!" ”

"Since this is the case, then Le will be ugly!" Lotte smiled, thought for a moment and said slowly: "If you don't judge the situation, that is, leniency and severity are wrong, and you have to think deeply about the summer later." ”

The Xixia court listened to the lower couplet of Lotte, and couldn't help frowning, the lower couplet of Lotte can be said to be neat and neat, and the style is also excellent, but in the ears of a group of Xixia people, it is extremely unpleasant, and the lower half of the couplet of Lotte seems to be on the surface, it seems to have the intention of referring to Emperor Taizong of the Great Song Dynasty to manage Lingxia to be good, but in fact it is saying that the land of Xixia is difficult to govern, and the severity and too kindness will make mistakes.

"The virtuous son-in-law is really good!" Although Li Qianshun was dissatisfied with this link in his heart, he had to praise it in his mouth.

"Meng's right!" Princess Lando, who was standing on the side of the main hall, pouted and said in her heart. Although this Song man has a good skin, everything he does is against Daxia, and it is incompatible with oil and salt, and Princess Lando hates it so much.

"Your Majesty has praised it!" Lotte bowed upward, how could he not know in his heart that his couplet contained a derogatory connotation of Western Xia.

Immediately, Lotte set his eyes on the Xixia civil official who wanted to be right to himself in the previous couplet, and said with a smile: "Come and don't be rude, since this adult is interested in doing a word game with Le, Le also has a pair of couplets here, and I want the adult to face it!" ”

"Please teach Master Le!" Since it is difficult for him to speak out, this minister has long been prepared to be admitted to the school.

Laughing lightly, Lotte immediately said: "Le went out of Xiaoguan to the north, straight into the summer realm, when crossing the Yellow River, I couldn't help but sigh when I saw the water of the Yellow River. ”

The couplet began in the fifth dynasty of Shu lord Meng Chang, popular in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the prose and the poem are the two direct sources of the couplet. It can be said that the couplet is a collection of ancient style poems, prose, lyrics and many other characteristics in one, and there are strict requirements for the end of the sentence.

Since it is going to be embarrassing, Lotte naturally wants to make it bigger.

The civil officials of the Western Xia were also stunned, this long link is not good, and it is by no means possible to do it in a moment and a half to achieve a neat battle.

When the words fell, Lotte thought for a while, and took out the upper couplet of a pair of famous couplets in his memory, in which he made a slight change, and slowly chanted:

"Thousands of miles of the Yellow River, rushing to the bottom of the eye. Draped in the shore, the joy is boundless. Look: Dongxiang Shenjun; Xizhu Lingyi; The north goes meandering; Nanxiang Su. Masters of rhyme, why not choose to win. Take advantage of the crab island Luozhou, comb the wind and fog sideburns. More frequent reeds, dotted with some green feathers Danxia. Don't be disappointed: fragrant rice all around; Ten thousand acres of clear sand; Nine Summer Hibiscus; Three spring willows. ”

When the last word fell from Lotte's mouth, in addition to the military attaché, all the Xixia ministers were in the heart of the charm of this couplet, and they couldn't help but praise in their hearts. It's right, I'm afraid it can't be compared in terms of Shen Yun.

The few living quarters waiting on the side of the hall were writing down the first half of Lotte's couplet at the moment.

After thinking for a moment, Na Wenchen arched his hand towards Lotte, and said helplessly: "Lord Lehou Wencai is really good, this long coupling will take some time to get right!" ”

Since this person can speak to Lotte to compare couplets, he must be a person who is agile in the Western Xia court, and he can't even match this person, so there is nothing he can do about the courtiers.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment in the court, Xia Chongzong Li Qianshun looked outside the hall, got up and said: "The time is not early, all the Qing families should retreat from the court!" ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" A group of courtiers said.

Nodding, Li Qianshun walked towards the harem. At this time, Princess Lando, who was pretending to be a little eunuch, was also busy walking backwards, and did not forget to gouge out her eyes when she left.

After Li Qianshun retired from the court, the civil and military officials could leave, just when Lotte wanted to go outside the palace, I saw the eunuch who was in front of Li Qianshun and returned, came to Lotte and said: "Hou Ye, Your Majesty has prepared a family banquet in the palace today, please talk about Hou Ye!" ”

Preparing for a family banquet clearly means that Lotte can't follow others around him, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites who walk with Lotte throughout the whole process are like playing soy sauce can't go together, but this puts Lotte in an embarrassing place, after all, Lotte is an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, and when he meets Li Qianshun like this, there are some unclear suspicions, which is extremely unfavorable to Lotte's career.

But can Lotte refuse?

……

In the imperial garden of the Xixia Imperial Palace, Xia Chongzong Li Qianshun is holding a banquet to entertain Lotte, and there is the Xixia Empress sitting next to him.

was led to the Inner Palace of the Western Xia Palace, and after sitting down, Lotte couldn't help but look around from the corner of his eye when he spoke, but he didn't see the suspected Princess Lando who pretended to be a little eunuch appear, and thought in his heart that maybe the princess was grounded at this time.

In fact, Lotte guessed correctly at all, the dignified princess of Xixia pretended to be a little eunuch and appeared in the court, Li Qianshun was in a good temper, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and after reprimanding two sentences, he grounded this Princess Lando.

"It's all to blame on that Song man!" At this moment, Princess Tuduo, who was confined to her residence, pouted, looking at the little eunuchs guarding the door helplessly. Fang only wanted to go out a few times, but was pushed back by the soft words of the waiter who stopped in front of the door.

I couldn't go out, Princess Lando thought for a while and said to the maid next to her: "Father and Emperor invited the Song people to a banquet in the Imperial Tea Garden today, and you secretly went to the Imperial Garden to investigate, what disgusting words did the Song people say and what hateful things did they do." ”

"Slaves don't dare!" Hearing this, the palace maid next to her was afraid of bloodlessness, and said tremblingly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, eavesdropping on Your Majesty's words is a big sin that will lose your head!" ”

"Hmm...... That's what you're talking about. Princess Lando also realized the seriousness of the matter, nodded and said helplessly: "Who knows if that disgusting Song man will make my father unhappy again......

The palace maid next to her said: "If the Song people make Your Majesty unhappy, and Your Majesty is angry and dissolves the relationship between the princess and the Song people, wouldn't it be in line with the princess's wishes!" ”

At this time, Princess Lando's nurse walked in from outside, and said with a smile on her face: "Princess, I heard that the master of the horse is stumped by the most knowledgeable bachelor of this dynasty today, I am afraid that I have no one in Daxia who can compare to the master of the horse......"

"Nurse ......" Seeing the nurse, Princess Lando was a little shy and a little disgusted, and then asked thoughtfully: "Nurse, the Song people were summoned by their father to eat wine in the imperial garden, do you think that the Song people will make their father unhappy?" ”

The nurse thought for a while and said, "The girl who is waiting for the queen is my niece, don't you know if you ask her!" ”

Glancing at Princess Lando again, the nurse suddenly laughed: "I heard that the Song people have a dignified appearance, does the princess like him?" ”

"How can there be ......," Princess Landau looked ashamed.

……

With a smile on his face, Li Qianshun raised his glass to Lotte and asked, "Son-in-law, how is your impression of my Great Xia along the way?" What is the difference compared to the Great Song? ”

I was tired of Lotte in my heart, but I had to do this superficial article.

I didn't like this Li Qianshun in my heart, and Lotte had to make a flattered appearance, and replied: "Qi Qi Daxia Lord, the little envoy traveled all the way, and found that the people of Daxia lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the officials were also conscientious, and the prosperity was not inferior to my Great Song Dynasty by half a point, which shows that Daxia under the rule of the country is more prosperous than in previous years!" ”

In fact, when Li Qianshun was the emperor, the Western Xia was the weakest and most declining national strength in history, if it wasn't for the great Liao to ignore the Tianzuo Emperor sent out, and then to the Jin courtier, I am afraid that it would have been destroyed by the Jin State a long time ago, and then the two sides and three knives took the opportunity to plot against the Great Song Dynasty, and revealed the news of the emptiness of the Great Song army in the northwest Great Song Dynasty Biandu to the Jin State, taking the opportunity of the Jin people's southern invasion, the Western Xia invaded the Great Song Dynasty border with mixed waters, so that the Western Xia border reached the largest time in history.

I have long developed the habit of talking about people and talking nonsense, and I am used to saying nonsense with my eyes open, and I don't want to make a draft at all beforehand.

Although Li Qianshun is a shrewd person, it does not mean that he has the consciousness that he does not like to listen to good words and does not like to listen to sycophants, and he is immediately very happy in his heart, "Virtuous son-in-law, you are not too polite, you are a family, and you need more courtesy." ”

Haha laughed, Li Qianshun raised his glass, Lotte didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly raised his glass in return, and the two drank it all, drinking three glasses in a row.

While talking to Li Qianshun, the Queen of Western Xia, who was sitting beside Li Qianshun, was also looking at Lotte, putting aside the grievances of the country, as the saying goes, the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more she is happy.

After the two of them drank wine, the Queen of Xixia, who was sitting next to her, looked at Lotte and said with a smile: "I heard that the virtuous son-in-law made a joint in the court today, and he actually stumped the most learned Tibetan Dule in this dynasty?" ”

Hearing this, Lotte hurriedly said: "The queen's words are serious, and even if the couplets and poems are at the peak, they are just small roads, not enough to be negative!" ”

Hearing Lotte's words, the Empress of Western Xia was puzzled: "Tang has Li Du, Song has Yan Su, they are all famous poets in the world, admired by literati, why did the virtuous son-in-law say this?" ”

"After the Great Song Dynasty changed the law since Xining, poetry is not listed as a compulsory course, but only for entertainment!" Lotte said, and said: "In the past, when the little envoy entered the school, the enlightenment teacher once warned the little envoy that poetry is just for the small way, and the knowledge of the scriptures and righteousness is the most important. ”

"And that's it!" The Empress of Western Xia smiled, and then took a scroll from the handmaid behind her, and said with a smile: "I often hear that there are many talented people in the Southern Dynasty, and the virtuous son-in-law can know the person who wrote this book?" It is said that this person is the first of the poems of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Sweeping his eyes over the book handed to him, Lotte couldn't help but be stunned, all written on it were complicated Western Xia characters, and he couldn't recognize it at all.

Seeing Lotte's expression, the Western Xia queen immediately guessed it, and said to the maid beside her: "Bring that Songzi version, I'm afraid the horse won't know my Daxia characters." ”

"Mother's forgiveness!" The little palace maid hurriedly confessed her guilt and went to get the Chinese character book.

When the book was handed to Rakuten, his eyes swept over Rakuten and he couldn't help but chuckle.

Seeing that Lotte laughed for no reason, the Western Xia queen said in surprise: "Why is the virtuous son-in-law laughing, is there something wrong with the main words of this Peach Blossom Temple?" ”
