This matter is very important, so the king deliberately concealed it, only reminding him slightly.

Arriving at the jade steps in front of the main hall, Chi Zhongtian first stabilized his mind, and then raised his feet and walked up along the steps on the right, following the Venerable King.

The main hall of the palace is not as glorious as Chi Zhongtian imagined, except for a golden dragon chair in the middle, the rest is nothing special.

At this moment, the hall was already full of civil and military ministers, because the emperor had not yet come, so the atmosphere was a little relaxed, and they were chatting together, and after seeing the king come in, all the ministers bowed down to greet him, but for Chi Zhongtian behind him, his eyes were full of doubts.

Soon, the two eunuchs brought a chair and placed it in front of the ministers on the right, which was the emperor's special decree, and the king could sit in the palace.

The Venerable King greeted everyone with a smile and sat down on a chair, while Chi Zhongtian stood behind him.

After a while, the king felt that the time was almost up, so he said: "Rank, the saint has not yet come, this king will say a few words first, the one behind me is Chi Zhongtian, I think everyone knows it." ”

Although they had expected it, the ministers were still a little surprised when they heard this come out of the king's mouth.

"Lord Wang, he is probably a little too young. A minister on the other side said.

King Venerable smiled and waved his hand: "Lord Li's words are not right, age is not a problem, among the ancient and modern sages, there are many people who are very young and have great ability." ”

"That's, that's what the prince said. When Master Li heard this, he didn't say anything more.

At this time, a white-haired old man standing next to Master Li suddenly said, the old man has heard of people who practice martial arts, most of them are rude, and they don't know a few big characters, I don't know if this Chi Gongzi is also like this.

Hearing this, Chi Zhongtian's heart moved, and he knew that he was looking for trouble.

And the king also skillfully closed his mouth at this time, at this time, he must let Chi Zhongtian come in person, he can't always protect him.

"Juniors have the courage to ask, what is your surname?" Chi Zhongtian asked respectfully.

"Don't dare, under Chen Yuanzhang. The white-haired old man replied.

"Master Chen, I don't know where you learned that people who practice martial arts are uneducated?" Chi Zhongtian then asked.

Chen Yuanzhang snorted, and then said: "Fighting and killing all day long, the old man really can't believe that he can have any knowledge if he can do such a degrading thing." ”

Chi Zhongtian smiled, took a step forward, and then said, "Since the adult said so, let's give it a try and see if I am as the adult said, how about it?"

As soon as they heard Chi Zhongtian say this, everyone was in an uproar, and they dared to openly argue with Chen Yuanzhang above the court, which was really bold.

In fact, Chi Zhongtian was not stunned, he said, and at the same time quietly looked at the face of the king, seeing that the king had been silent, he knew that it was okay for him to do this.

"Haha, okay, since you said so, then today, the old man will test you on the spot, how about it?" Chen Yuanzhang said.

"Glad to be there. Chi Zhongtian replied.

"The subset of classics and history, poetry and songs, the way of Confucius and Mencius, and easy to learn gossip, which one do you think you are good at?" Chen Yuanzhang asked in one breath.

"Either way. Chi Zhongtian replied with a smile.

"Are you good at it?" asked Chen Yuanzhang with crooked eyes.

"No, no, what it means is that I'm not good at it, so naturally I can't choose. Chi Zhongtian replied respectfully.

Hearing Chi Zhongtian's humorous answer, all the ministers let out a slight laugh.

"In that case, I'll come up with a topic, look at your youth, I'm not difficult for you, the predecessors have a good song, one of which is a sentence 'next seat to send hook spring wine warm' I want to ask, what is this next sentence?"

As soon as he heard Chen Yuanzhang's question, Chi Zhongtian immediately felt a little unhappy in his heart, this Chen Yuanzhang not only wanted to test himself, but also deliberately made things difficult.

It's very simple, in this poem, the most famous thing is actually the first two sentences of the sentence he said, "The body has no colorful phoenix wings, and the heart has a good understanding" and Chen Yuanzhang deliberately avoided these two sentences, isn't it deliberately embarrassing?

However, Chi Zhongtian didn't mind, smiled slightly and said: "Fen Cao shoots the wax lamp red, Lord Chen, this poem, it seems a little inappropriate to say it here." ”

When Chen Yuanzhang heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then he was very embarrassed, because at this time, many people had begun to secretly cover their mouths and snicker.

"Hmph, do you dare to let me take another question?" asked Chen Yuanzhang.

"Speak. Chi Zhongtian said confidently.

"Rank and rank, secluded South Mountain. What's next?" asked Chen Yuanzhang.

Chi Zhongtian shook his head helplessly, and then said: "Like a bamboo bud, like a pine tree, this is something I carried when I was five years old, Master Chen doesn't have to worry about it, although it is a little difficult." ”

At this time, King Zun couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker, he didn't expect that this Chi Zhongtian was not only good at chess, but also the ink in his stomach was by no means general.

Chen Yuanzhang couldn't help but be embarrassed when he saw this, so he rolled his eyes, and then asked: "Feifei drizzle is misty, what's the next sentence?"

As soon as they heard this, all the ministers showed an incredible look in their eyes, because this poem was written by Chen Yuanzhang himself, and no one else knew about it except for some people with whom he was in the court.

Sure enough, when Chi Zhongtian heard this, he was stunned, and he couldn't figure out where this came from.

Seeing that Chi Zhongtian didn't speak, Chen Yuanzhang said proudly: "How about it, if you encounter something difficult, you won't be able to answer." ”

Chi Zhongtian thought that he must not be ashamed, since he didn't know the original sentence, he might as well make up a sentence by himself, after thinking about it for a while, Chi Zhongtian replied: "The middle stream sculls are returning to the boat, forgive the sin, I really don't know the original sentence in the next, I can only make it up, just for you to laugh." ”

At first, Chen Yuanzhang was secretly proud, but gradually, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"This sentence is good, this is better than what Lao Chen wrote!" a minister said in a very low voice, but it was easily heard by Chi Zhongtian, who had a sensitive ear, and only then did he understand that it was written by the thing himself, no wonder he didn't know it!

"Yes, Lao Chen originally wrote about a middle-class one-oar rocking wooden boat, but you see what this young man said, the sculls are returning to the boat, tsk, this artistic conception will come out immediately, absolutely amazing!" another minister began to mumble quietly.
