27. Five up-linked
At this time, the four giants of Zhedong Road and the Qian Governor's Mansion were standing there, extremely embarrassed, and their faces kept changing blue and red.
I wanted to come out and speak up for righteousness, and by the way, I sold a favor to the prince candidate, but I didn't know that the favor was not done, and I was slapped in the face by the stupid king, this spread out, how can I mix in the officialdom in the future?
Li Shuaisi was finally unwilling, and spoke again, "Your Highness, I have to admit that your next sentence is indeed very exquisite, but with such a long and wonderful sentence, it is a little unkind for you to let Wei Gongzi, a weak person, come to the right." ”
Oh Huo, it's really an official word, you talk to him fairly, he reasoned with you, you reasoned with him, he talked to you about the rules, you talked to him about the rules, he talked to you about the favors!
"And what do you mean?" Zhao Mengqi glanced at him.
In front of everyone, there is indeed a bit of a price drop, but the face of the official is not thin, Li Shuaisi continued, "Your Highness, there is a proposal, it is better for His Highness to make another sentence, but you can't use this kind of long sentence, from a certain to the right, if a certain is not right, then accept the punishment together, if a certain luck is right, please also ask His Royal Highness to give up the previous agreement and let Wei Gongzi go, what do you think?" ”
Hehe, it's really a good calculation, such a transaction, anyone can see that it is very unfair.
At this time, even the other people present felt that they couldn't stand it, it was so shameless, and they all hoped that King Zhong would refuse.
However, Zhao Mengqi was surprised again, "It's not impossible, Li Shuaisi's spirit of standing up and asking for the people's life is very commendable, if there are a few more 'good officials' like you in my Great Song Dynasty, why worry about the uneven world, the sun and the moon are not shining." I think, otherwise, these people behind you seem to be like-minded with you, why don't you go together, I'll give each of you a sentence, as long as one person is right, I will lose, what do you think? ”
"Your Highness can't be joking!" Li Shuaisi couldn't hear the irony in King Zhong's words, but he selectively ignored it, and instead hurriedly and slowly finalized this seemingly joking bet.
Many people present have been blinded by Li Shuaisi's shamelessness, and many people are already covering their eyes with their hands.
King Rong couldn't hold back his anger, "Li Shuaisi, don't you think you're a little presumptuous!?" ”
"Uncle Wang's anger is actually fine." Zhao Mengqi seemed to be stupid again, and actually persuaded King Rong, who was upset for him, and then said, "In this case, let's just get over it, and agree that as I just said, as long as one person comes out, I will lose, including Wei Guansun, no one will have to punish the wine, but if I win, the five of you, you don't need more, one hundred glasses of wine, if you dare to take it, let's start, if you don't dare, please don't talk nonsense." ”
A hundred cups per person!?
This is really a bit scary, but Li Shuaisi felt that King Zhong was deliberately trying to scare himself away, he thought about it carefully, four of his five people were all real Jinshi backgrounds, and although the Qian prefect was a shadow official and had not taken the imperial examination, the Qian family was also a long-term scholar, in fact, he was still very talented, no matter how he said it, he was just a fool.
As long as this loyal king no longer comes up with that kind of extra-long sentence, isn't it nine out of ten to one.
So after a brief exchange between Li Shuaisi and the five of them, they all agreed, "Your Highness, let's make such an agreement, I will wait." ”
"Let's make an appointment, how about two quarters of an hour?" Zhao Mengqi has already seen Li Shuaisi's shamelessness, so he should be steady, "In addition, the five of you must answer separately, and there must be no communication, in short, let's follow the rules of the scientific examination." ”
The five of them exchanged glances, just a couplet, a quarter of an hour was more than enough, and they felt that there was no problem, "Okay, Your Highness, please make a sentence." ”
"The first sentence, for Li Shuaisi, draw a lotus monk's painting."
It's very simple at first hearing, but when I think about it carefully, I find that it's a palindrome couplet, and it's the same when reading backwards, and it doesn't seem to be difficult, but don't forget the four principles of couplets.
"The second sentence, give it to the prefect of Qian, I heard that he has not taken the Jinshi exam, so it is simpler, listen well, the world is mouthful, the sky is mouthful, and the ambition is to swallow Wu."
Eh, this loyal king is narrow enough, and he actually pointed out in public that people are not from the imperial examination, and it is simpler, isn't this a clear look down on people?
This should be a split couplet, huh... Where's the simplicity?
Qian Guozhong's first reaction was to chuckle in his heart, aiming to swallow Wu? Does this loyal king know about my Qian family's plan? Hey, that's not a good sentence.
"The third sentence, just give it to Cao Si, I'm really sorry, I don't have a good brain, I forgot your surname, it doesn't matter if you don't want to come, please listen, Feng Erma tames the third horse Feng tames the five horse princes."
Didn't you remember that the surname of the person Cao Si was Feng? Do you have to use the excuse that your brain is not good and humiliating? If you call your brain bad, then aren't we brainless?
Feng Caosi's face is like the bottom of a pot, he doesn't have time to be too embarrassed, he already feels the trickiness of this link, how is this right!?
"The fourth sentence..."
"Your Highness, give it to the lower officials, the king with the surname of disdain." In order to avoid the same humiliation, Wang Xiansi took the initiative.
"Yo, you've learned to answer, so give it to you, listen, Nantong Prefecture, North Tong Prefecture, North and South Tongzhou Tong Nan."
This sentence sounds simple, but in fact it is a hidden mystery, many onlookers' brains are running a little faster, and in the February sky, there are many people in this hall who are sweating on their foreheads.
Lao Wang repeated the previous sentence, "Nantong ......" looked stupid and stunned, and he had no clue.
"The last sentence, that who... Oh, Xu Cangji, right, in charge of money? Then I'll give you a vulgar point, listen carefully, it's raining heavily, I'm afraid of mud, eggs, tofu, leaving a son-in-law, Zi Mo Yan replied. ”
King Zhong, you should be a person, do you call this vulgar? Which of the names hidden in this is vulgar!?
Xia Dayu, Kong Zhongni, Ji Dan, Du Fu, Liu Yuxi, Zimo, Yan Hui, this is all vulgar? I'm afraid you want to go to heaven.
And Xu Cangsi, who answered the sentence, suddenly felt that there was nothing to love in life, and he just wanted to find a piece of tofu to die.
Zhao Mengqi clapped his hands and stretched his waist, "It's finally over, it's really tiring, you think about it slowly, or I'll just sleep first." ”
"Ah Lang has worked hard, the little one will press you?" Huang Zhi grinned, seeing that the master casually stumped the five local officials, he was also honored.
Zhao Mengqi gave him a roll of his eyes and said disgustedly, "You are not a little lady, a rough ......"
"Ah Lang, this little lady is not nothing, but isn't it easy to let the living person close." Huang Yu hurriedly explained.
"If you have it, I'll just talk about it." Zhao Mengqi was in a relaxed mood.
After Li Shuaisi listened to the five last sentences, he was shocked to realize that his wishful thinking was wrong, and none of these five couplets were right at all, and he began to panic a little in his heart.
The vast majority of the people in the hall regard themselves as elegant, and now they are basically caught in the whirlpool of five couplets, scratching their ears and cheeks one by one, searching their intestines and stomachs, expecting that they can say a sentence and a half.
Although no one gave money to come out, this kind of cultural sense of achievement and spiritual satisfaction is what these officials present who do not worry about food and clothing are pursuing.
In the corner, Qian Long looked in the direction of Zhao Mengqi, with little stars in his eyes, "It turns out that King Zhong is so talented, tsk, no one can match the couplet, it's really amazing!" ”
"Humph! What's the big deal, isn't it that he thinks about it himself? Qian Duo hated Zhao Mengqi deeply, and his face was still hot and painful, "This guy is not a good person at first glance, and he still wants a woman in public, phew!" Shameless! Treacherous! Off color! Vicious! ……”
