Chapter 7 No Name on the List
At this moment, Zhao Yong and Liu Shutong were already seated, and Sandezi was waiting on the side.
When the two saw Li Jin walking in with Chu Mo, they got up and saluted without hurrying, with no respect on their faces.
Chu Mo glanced at it, but he didn't care.
I sat down and took a sip of tea before I asked, "May I ask you, two adults, what are you going to teach Gu today? Is it poetry and songs, or is it an article?"
"Hehe, Your Highness laughed. ”
Zhao Yong stood up slowly, arched his hand casually, and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, these are still a little too early for you. Wechen discussed it with Scholar Liu, why don't you start by teaching you literacy, what do you think?"
"Exactly, I can't read words, how can I read poetry and articles?" Liu Shutong also squinted his eyes and sneered.
Chu Mo raised his eyebrows, it seems that as Li Jin said, these two people are really rotten wood that can't be oiled and salted.
With this personality and emotional intelligence, being isolated is deserved.
However, since they all knew that these two people were notoriously annoying, according to what he knew about the emperor, it was very likely that the emperor called them over to test him.
Thinking of this, Chu Mo immediately made a decision, since these two people can't be used for themselves, and they can only sell some sour and rotten literary talents, then there is no need to give face!
As for the emperor's side, didn't he want to test him?
Well, in that case, let him see it......
"Words, I have known some since I was a child, so I don't bother the two adults to teach them personally. I heard that the two adults are famous literary masters in Chu, and they are the most proficient in poetry and songs, and it just so happens that Gu has been studying some poems recently, so why don't we focus on poetry, how about comparing poems?"
"Than poetry?"
Zhao Yong and Liu Shutong glanced at each other, and they both saw the ridicule in each other's eyes.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't have taken the wrong medicine, would he?
I can't even read all the words, so I want to compare poetry with them?!
Zhao Yong's face was full of yin and yang, and he said with a smile: "Your Highness, I didn't expect you to not only be literate, but also compose poems, Weichen has lived for decades, and today is really an eye-opener!"
Liu Shutong also looked at Chu Mo contemptuously, and raised his head and said, "Dare to ask Your Highness if you have any poems?"
Hehe, two old thieves, just laugh at the master!
Chu Mo dusted off his tea, and said unhurriedly: "Poems, Lone has not yet done so, but after fighting poems, Lone's poems will spread all over Chu State, and even spread in other countries, becoming a work through the ages!"
Chu Mo looked serious.
"Poof......
Liu Shutong just drank the tea in his mouth, squirted out, and then pointed at Chu Mo and laughed regardless of the image.
"Hahaha! His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, did you go through your head before you said this? Do you know what a work of the ages is? Do you think that a work of the ages can be made by a dream? Hahaha, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is whimsical, it is really whimsical......
"Lord Liu, this is not right, maybe our Royal Highness the Crown Prince, really dreamed of one......?"
Zhao Yong couldn't help laughing.
Even he doesn't have a few masterpieces, just a sixteen-year-old, stubborn little boy who wants to write works for the ages?
It's a dream!
"Presumptuous, two lords, do you know who you are talking to? In front of Your Highness, you are so rude, don't you want to force the old slave to report to Your Majesty and punish the two of you for a great crime of disrespect?!"
Li Jin's face was angry, if it weren't for the other party's official position being too high, he would have taken action a long time ago and taught the other party what is the etiquette of respect and humility!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is no longer the fool he used to be, on the contrary, the current His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is smart and wise, although it is a bit exaggerated to make poems that have been passed down through the ages, but no matter what, how can two officials laugh at will?
Being yelled at by Li Jin, Zhao Yong and Liu Shutong were also startled, came back to their senses, and didn't dare to continue laughing.
Anyway, the other party is the crown prince after all. Even if everyone thinks he's an idiot, it's just a whisper behind his back.
They were already guilty of great disrespect by sneering like this today, and the two of them quickly returned to their usual solemn appearance and sat upright.
Chu Mo sneered, raised his hand slightly, and motioned for Li Jin to step back.
He put down the teacup, tapped his fingers on the tabletop, and said, "It seems that the two adults have laughed enough, in that case, let's start?"
Zhao Yong frowned and said, "Your Highness really wants to fight poetry?"
"Lonely is a golden mouth, how can it be fake? Just ask the two adults, do you have the courage to compose a poem on the spot, and compare it with Lonely?"
"Good. Zhao Yong didn't think about it, and immediately agreed.
However, Liu Shutong next to him pulled him and whispered: "Brother Zhao, Your Majesty sent me and the two of us here to educate the prince to study, why did you fight with him as an idiot?"
"Brother Liu, does he really want to stay and be the crown prince?" asked Zhao Yong.
Liu Shutong hurriedly replied: "What is the crown prince, I'm afraid it's the prince's mount! Who wants to take this drudgery? This is not a personal order from His Majesty, I am unwilling to come." ”
Zhao Yong smiled confidently: "Then Brother Liu listens to me, I have a way to let us not offend Your Majesty, but also get out of this prince's mansion." ”
"Brother Zhao's words are serious?!" Liu Shutong's eyes lit up.
"Naturally. ”
"Okay! everything is up to Brother Zhao!"
Seeing the two of them bowing their heads and whispering, Chu Mo sneered in his heart, they looked down on him as a student, and he was even more reluctant to let these two rotten Confucians who only knew how to fiddle with Fengyue be his teacher.
It just so happens that the two of them are standing up today, maybe the plane tree he planted with the hands of the two of them can attract a real phoenix.
Chu Mo knew very well in his heart that what he needed was someone who could help him stabilize the position of the crown prince, such a person must have his own power in the court, and he could not be the henchmen of the eldest prince and the fourth prince.
Rather than letting him dig deep one by one, he is not going to let himself shine in Kyoto in the name of fighting poetry today, attracting those powerful to take the initiative to climb him.
"Two adults, can you discuss?" Chu Mo patted the table and asked a little impatiently.
Only then did Zhao Yong get up and arch his hand: "Since His Highness wants to fight poetry, then the two of us will have the courage to fight with His Highness." It's just that there must be a win or loss in this fighting poem, and if there is a win or loss, if there is no bet, it will be boring. ”
"Don't beat around the bush, just say that if you win, what are you going to do?" Chu Mo looked directly at Zhao Yong.
Zhao Yong snickered and replied: "If the two of us are lucky enough to win His Highness, please also ask Your Highness to explain to Your Highness, saying that the two of us are mediocre in learning and are not suitable to be teachers for Your Highness, so that Your Majesty can find another talent." ”
