Chapter 43: The Wind Rises

Not surprisingly,

"Wen Dou!" Yang Xiu said, "I'm the only one on my side to fight, and you can just have a few on your side!" ”

This is Yang Xiu's pride, and it is also a provocation in force before responding to Sun Quan.

"What about losing? How about winning? Sun Quan asked.

"The losing side apologizes in public to the winning side and admits its mistakes." Yang Xiudao, his purpose is only to win Sun Quan, and the rest is to help his friend ask for an explanation. Regardless of whether it's right or wrong, you should always apologize for hitting someone.

Sun Quan tilted his head,

"How about one more?"

"Say." Yang Xiu now wants Sun Quan to fight, and he dares to respond to any conditions.

"Not only apologize, but the losing side should call him a teacher when he sees the winning side in the future, whether in private or in front of people, how about it? There is no before and after learning, the master is the teacher, since it is a literary fight, the loser says a teacher, it's not too much, right? Sun Quan said.

"You guy!"

"How dare you!"

"It's not too much!"

"Brother Yang, don't be fooled!"

"yes, I haven't decided how to compare it yet."

"Moreover, it's not a big deal if he calls you a teacher, but if you call him a teacher, won't he become a laughing stock? This punishment is not equal at all! ”

The pretending guy on the ground immediately shouted, Sun Quan is young, Yang Xiu is old, and Yang Xiu is still a famous talent, in their eyes, this punishment is effective for Yang Xiu, but it is insignificant for Sun Quan. It's like Cai Yong, there are many people in the world who want to call him a teacher, but you let Cai Yong call someone else's teacher to try?

"It doesn't matter." Yang Xiu said coldly, how could he not see the problem that others could see? In Yang Xiu's opinion, Sun Quan deliberately put forward such an unequal condition, so that he would retreat in the face of difficulties, which should be regarded as attacking the heart in the art of war. But Yang Xiu is confident that he will not lose no matter what, so he is not afraid of any conditions, as long as Sun Quan dares to fight.

"I promise your terms." Yang Xiu said to Sun Quan, "However, in order to ensure fairness, I hope that Cai Yong and everyone can judge this time." ”

Although Yang Xiu is proud, he is not stupid, in case Sun Quan makes a fuss on the judges and refers to the deer as a horse, how can he win? As for judging by his own people, when Sun Quan loses, he bites back and accuses him of doing tricks, how can Yang Xiu explain? Therefore, in order to convince the public, and in order to convince Sun Quan of his loss, he can't find an excuse, so he can only find a third party, and it is still the most fair third party who can be trusted by both sides.

Cai Yong, everyone, is the most trusted university scholar in the world today, all students in the world!

"Oh? Can you please Cai Yong? Sun Quan asked.

"Cai Yong, everyone, I have my own way to turn around. How is it? Yang Xiu looked at Sun Quan.

Sun Quan shrugged his shoulders,

"If you can invite Cai Yong, it's naturally the best. How to compare? Than what? ”

"You say." Yang Xiu seemed quite confident, thinking that he would not lose to Sun Quan than anything.

"Poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Why don't we compare poetry? "Sun Quan has never known what politeness is, if you ask me to say it, then I will say it directly, classmate Yang, you are simply killing yourself.

"Huh." Yang Xiu smiled, "Be smart." ”

Writing poetry, on the surface, is indeed a good way to close the gap in knowledge, but writing poetry is also the most test of a person's knowledge, experience and heritage. It's not that you can make good poems if you have gorgeous rhetoric and neat battles. Poetry, poetry, poetry, is the essence!

"According to you, it is like poetry." Yang Xiu agreed.

Sun Quan smiled, and at this moment, both of them felt that they had won.

"Since the theme is set by me, it is better for you to set a theme and still have time. You can't write about the wind and snow, and I write about Jin Ge Iron Horse, how can people judge the merits? Sun Quan said.

Yang Xiu pondered for a while and said,

"Then we have two wins in three games. One game is written Jin Ge Iron Horse, the other game is written Fenghua Xueyue, and the last game is to let Cai Yong and everyone solve the problem on the spot. In addition, as for the time, I must also consult Cai Yong before it can be set. ”

Since Sun Quan is a soldier family, he should be good at writing Jin Ge Iron Horse, and on this topic, Yang Xiu is not confident that he will be able to win against Sun Quan. So, in the end, I chose a solution that seemed fair.

"Then I'll wait for news from Yang Gongzi at home."

thereupon

The tide of Yuan Kui's selection of apprentices has not yet completely come to an end, and another round of public opinion has been set off in the capital. Compared with the official attributes of the former, the latter is obviously more concerned among the people. The calm literary scene in Kyoto was suddenly stirred up by a foreign stone.

Inside the house,

"Zhongmou is very good at poetry?" Yuan Shu asked.

"Well, probably." Sun Jian was obviously not so sure.

"Haha, that's interesting." Yuan Shu smiled, Sun Jian was not sure, indicating that Sun Quan had at least not shown his talent in this area, so what was Sun Quan hiding deeply? Or does he have other plans? "Let's wait and see."

······

That night, Cai Fu,

Cai Yong stroked the piano in the night, the sound of the piano was erratic, making people feel like boating on the river, at the end of the song, the boat sailed into the lake, the water was quiet and clear, but the previous waves sounded repeatedly in the ears.

"Dad, your piano is not as peaceful as usual." Cai Wenji, who was standing in the distance, waiting for the end of the song, spoke.

"The wind is blowing." Cai Yong said a meaningful sentence, "Yan'er, why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"Sure enough, as my father expected, the Yuan Mansion has released the news that the personal disciple selected by Taifu Yuan Kui is Sun Quan." Cai Yan said.

Cai Yong was not surprised by this,

"That's what you're here for?"

Cai Yan smiled, approached and said,

"Dad, you said that Yang Xiu and Sun Quan will win this time?"

Cai Yong glanced at his daughter curiously,

"Yan'er, when did you become interested in this kind of thing?"

"I'm not interested, there are always people who are interested." Cai Yan said.

Cai Yong's mind moved,

"Miss Tang?"

"I really can't hide anything from my father." Cai Wenji smiled, since she was a child, she always thought that her father was the smartest person in the world. However, because of his intelligence, sometimes, even Cai Wenji feels that her father is a little invisible, and even a little scary.

"Then you can reassure Miss Tang. It will definitely be Sun Quan who wins this time, and it will only be Sun Quan! Cai Yong replied.

"Dad, are you so optimistic about that Sun Quan?" Cai Yan couldn't help but be curious, she knew very well that her father would never make an unfair judgment.

Cai Yong shook his head lightly, looking at the starry sky in the sky,

"It's not that I'm optimistic about Sun Quan, but now that the general trend has been decided, I can't see defeat in Sun Quan."

······

Palace

"Queen Mother, I heard that Diao Chan has entered Beijing?!" The young emperor Liu Wei rushed to find the Empress Dowager He.

Empress Dowager He's face sank,

"Who told you?"

The young emperor couldn't hide his words in his heart, so he didn't hide it,

"It's Chang Chang Shi."

"Heh, Zhang Rang." Empress Dowager He smiled coldly, "That's right, Diao Chan has entered Beijing." In a few days, I will arrange for her to come to the palace. ”

"Why a few days? Not now! The young emperor couldn't help but say.

"No! Moreover, I'm not afraid to tell you that I won't keep her in the palace, and you will only have one chance to meet Diao Chan once a day. Empress Dowager He said directly.

"Huh? Why? The young emperor was very dissatisfied.

"I've already said that I'm going to examine her personally. Talent and conduct, the same is not falling. Only through my investigation will I agree to let her enter the palace. If you really like her, then try to help her pass my inspection, otherwise, I will have someone drive her back to Cihang Jingzhai tomorrow! Empress Dowager He warned.

After hearing this, the young emperor nodded hurriedly,

"I mean it! I mean it! Diao Chan, she will definitely be able to pass the queen mother's investigation! ”

But he no longer dared to bargain with Empress Dowager He. After all, the young emperor also knows how short-term pleasure can be compared to a lifetime.
