Chapter 40: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
Silence, long silence.
Half an hour later.
In the embarrassment of the crowd.
Sima Yi opened his mouth and said:
"In that case, then we don't have to shy away from Sikong!"
Speaking of this, Sima Yi looked at everyone and said:
"Sikong values the fourth prince the most, that is, his talent, and the talent of the fourth prince himself is indeed unparalleled in the world, according to legend, the fourth prince has become a poem in seven steps!"
Speaking of this, Sima Yi looked at Cao Pi and wanted to confirm the matter.
Seeing this, Cao Pi also said with an indignant face:
"Although I don't want to admit it, Zijian can indeed become a poem in seven steps!"
"Okay, in that case, then let's start with his talent!" Sima Yi said in a deep voice.
"The reason why Sikong likes the fourth son is that he thinks he is smart and clever, which is normal, but all parents like their own smart children, even if this child often causes trouble, but when he thinks that his child is so smart, so even if this child "makes trouble", his parents will tolerate him! ”
"It's commonplace for the fourth son, that's the case!"
"Therefore, if you want to deal with the fourth son, you must first destroy his talent and let Sikong know that the so-called genius is nothing more than mediocre in nature, and at that time, Sikong will polish his eyes and see the trouble caused by the fourth son!"
"It just so happens that our fourth son just provoked Kong Rong yesterday, and we can just make a fuss about it!"
Sima Yi's words couldn't help but make everyone's eyes shine.
But at this time, Chen Qun raised a different opinion.
"Zhongda, although your strategy is good, but the talent of the fourth prince is real, are you sure to deal with him?"
Chen Qun's voice, like a slap in the face, instantly woke up Cao Pi and the others.
And Sima Yi, after hearing Chen Qun's words, immediately smiled:
"I heard that Wang Can, the friend of the second son, is now in Yecheng, and in addition, Liu Zhen, who is as famous as Wang Can, also fled to Yecheng because he escaped the war!"
……
Following.
It was just getting dark.
A major news spread in Yecheng.
Wang Can, who is famous all over the world, Wang Zhongxuan, because he learned that Cao Zhi, the fourth son of Cao Sikong's family, was disrespectful to Sage Kong.
Therefore, a war book was specially released.
In the largest restaurant in Yecheng, Tianxianglou, set up a ring, to compete with Cao Zhiyi.
Wang Can promised that if he lost, he would kneel on the spot and admit defeat;
If Cao Zhi loses, then Cao Zhi must ask Kong Rong for his guilt, and from now on, he will no longer write poetry.
As soon as this news came out, almost everyone was shocked.
Who is Cao Zhi, the fourth son of Cao Sikong.
Through various performances in the past few days, the people in Yecheng have gradually come to know such a person.
On the market today, there are still two ancient poems written by Cao Zhi at the Caizi Tea Party.
There are even rumors that Cao Zhi can become a poem in seven steps.
It can be said that in the entire Yecheng now, the person who is in the limelight is Cao Zhi.
Of course, Cao Zhi is famous.
But Wang Can is not an unknown person.
Wang Can, whose name is Zhongxuan, is rarely famous, and has been appreciated by Cai Yong.
Cai Yong once said that he was not as good as Wang Can.
Although, judging by these days.
Wang Can's name is not as loud as Cao Zhi's.
But when Wang Can became famous, Cao Zhi had not yet been born.
So, after getting the news.
Up and down Yecheng, almost everyone was boiling.
After all, one is a great talent who has been famous for a long time;
One is a new talent who is now in the limelight.
Under the collision of new and old talents, no one knows what kind of sparks can be touched.
But one thing you can be sure of is that in this encounter, there will be poems that will be passed down through the ages.
So, after learning the news.
In the entire Yecheng, all the scholars rushed to Tianxianglou, wanting to see this literary feast.
……
The other side.
When Chen Lin came to Cao Zhi's mansion.
Cao Zhi had just woken up.
Of course, not tired.
It's because last night, Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang drank most of the night.
looked at the sleepy Cao Zhi in front of him.
Chen Lin immediately told Cao Zhi the news.
"Wang Can? Seven sons of Jian'an! When he heard the name, Cao Zhi blurted out.
"What Jian'an's seven sons?" Chen Lin wondered.
"You don't know him?" Cao Zhi asked curiously.
You must know that in history, Chen Lin and Wang Can are listed as the seventh son of Jian'an.
Seeing that Cao Zhi suddenly asked himself such a question, Chen Lin was stunned at first, and then said with an embarrassed face:
"Although it is said that Wang Zhongxuan's talent and fame have been heard of in Xia, he has no relationship with him in Xia!"
"Understand, peers are enemies!" Cao Zhi said with a smile.
As for Chen Lin, seeing that he had already told the matter, Cao Zhi still showed a calm appearance, and hurriedly said:
"Fourth son, as far as his subordinates know, in addition to Wang Can, there are also Liu Zhen, Xu Gan and others who are waiting for the son in Tianxianglou this time, Liu Zhen is the same name as Wang Can, and as for the remaining few people, the name is not weak!"
"In addition, because of the hype of Wang Can and others, now the third floor of Tianxiang Building is already crowded with scholars, and these people have all grown up reading Confucian and Mencian classics, so this time the people who came are not good!"
"The fourth prince just offended Kong Rong yesterday, and if he grudges with them again now, I'm afraid it will be ......, so my subordinates suggest that the fourth prince don't go!"
"Don't go ???" When he heard Chen Lin give such a suggestion, Cao Zhi couldn't help laughing.
Facing Chen Lin's gaze, Cao Zhi said with a straight face: "No, I must go this time!" ”
"However, Wang Can, they are clearly a Hongmen banquet, and they can't go!" Chen Lin persuaded.
"Hehe, it's because I know this is the Hongmen Banquet, so I have to go!"
"Kong Zhang, you must know that from the moment I offended Kong Rong, I knew that there would be countless scholars who would come to me to trouble me under the guise of being angry for Sage Kong, is it because they really respect Sage Kong?"
"No, in my opinion, the reason why they are doing this is nothing more than wanting to step on my Cao Zhi to take the throne, of course, they want to be famous, I have no objection!"
"But think about it, there are so many scholars all over the world, if they come one by one, do I receive them, or don't receive them, if I do, don't you tire me to death, if I don't receive them, will they say that they refuse to accept the challenge because of fear, you know, the mouth of the reader, can be damaged!"
"Originally, I thought that I would find an opportunity to compose a few more poems and songs to make a name for myself to avoid these troubles!"
"Now it's okay, Wang Can took the initiative to send it to the door, if he didn't hit the face that came to the door, he would be sorry for Wang Can, and with Wang Can's talent, he was barely qualified!"
"What does Childe mean by taking Wang Can to kill chickens and monkeys?" Chen Lin trembled.
"That's right, as the saying goes, you have to fight with one punch, so as not to come with a hundred punches, as long as you defeat Wang Can, then in the future, there won't be so much trouble!" Cao Zhi said with a smile.
