Chapter 14
"Too arrogant! Your Majesty, they are really too arrogant!"
They had not even fought yet, but they were treated with disdain by Chu. All the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty became angry.
Prime Minister Meng Shize snorted coldly: "You are so arrogant! Three days ago, His Highness Tang Yu wrote the first couplet and you have not yet answered the second couplet. You dare to speak so boldly, and you are not afraid of the wind blowing your tongue!"
"That's right! You have the ability to counter the first couplet written by His Highness Tang Yu!" All the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty shouted in unison.
Tang Yu was also angered by the other party's arrogant and domineering attitude. He stared at Han Tingyue and said: "Are you going to cross the intestines? If you want to compete, you can break my cigarette lock pond willow first!"
"Are you Tang Yu, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty?" Han Tingyue smiled coldly.
Tang Yu took a step forward and said seriously: "Yes, I am Prince Tang Yu!"
"I have to say that the first couplet written by His Highness Tang Yu is indeed exquisite. An ordinary person may not be able to answer it. It's a pity that His Highness Tang Yu met me. Isn't it Yansuo Pondliu? I am right at Pao Zhen Haicheng Tower.
!" Han Tingyue said directly.
"What?"
Hearing Han Tingyue's answer, everyone in the Jinluan Palace was shocked. Even Emperor Tang had a look of surprise on his face.
Right?
Tang Yu's pupils shrank. In ancient China, Yansuo Pondliu was unparalleled throughout the ages. He didn't expect that the other party would be able to crack it as soon as he appeared. It seems that Han Tingyue really has two skills.
Princess Chu Ningyu said with a proud look on her face: "Your Highness Tang Yu seems to be shocked. Last time we sent a few people in Dachu. Little did we know that Five Elements Couplets like His Highness Tang Yu are not worth it in our territory."
By the way, this time I, Da Chu, will send a group of experts, and any one of them can decipher your Five Elements Couplet at will!"
"That's right!" A group of people from Da Chu's envoy agreed.
"hehe"
Seeing the Dachu envoy headed by Chu Ningyu burst into laughter, Tang Yu smiled and shook his head.
Chu Ningyu said disdainfully: "Why is Your Highness Tang Yu laughing?"
"I laugh at you for being stupid. Although you are right, this second line is not the best answer!" Tang Yu said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, Han Tingyue said with disdain: "Oh? I don't believe His Highness Tang Yu has a more incisive second line!"
As the number one person in the Chu couplet, Han Tingyue carefully studied Tang Yu's first couplet. He thought hard for three days and three nights before coming up with the second couplet of Pao Zhenhai City Tower. He did not believe that Tang Yu was more talented than him.
"Don't believe it? Tsk! Then you have to prick up your ears and listen!"
Staring at the arrogant Han Tingyue, Tang Yu said slowly: "The best second line of Yansuo Pondliu is Tao Ran Jinjiangdi!"
"Smoke locks the willows in the pond, and the peach burns the Jinjiang embankment?"
Hearing Tang Yu's answer, Han Tingyue's expression changed instantly. As the king of rivals, he knew as soon as he heard that Tang Yu's second line was infinitely superior to his own.
"Peach burning Jinjiang embankment? How is this possible?"
Chu Ning's jade face froze, and the arrogance on her face instantly dissipated, leaving only solemnity.
Looking at the stunned people in Dachu, Tang Yu smiled and said: "Although Pao Zhen Haicheng Tower is also an answer, this answer does not fit the artistic conception and seems nondescript! And Tao Ran Jinjiang Embankment echoes the artistic conception, which invisibly reminds people of a beautiful picture.
, this is the best answer for Yansuo Pondliu!"
"Wonderful! Your Majesty, the second couplet of His Highness the Crown Prince is really wonderful!"
Prime Minister Meng Shize looked excitedly at the Tang Emperor on the dragon throne, and all the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty were also secretly surprised. They knew that the Tang Dynasty had the upper hand invisibly.
"Yu'er, not bad!" Emperor Tang looked pleased.
After getting Tang Huang's approval, Tang Yu clasped his fists at Tang Huang and said, "Father, this is just a couplet, not worth mentioning!"
What! Not worth mentioning?
Hearing this, the faces of everyone in Dachu turned dark.
They worked hard with Han Tingyue to come up with the second line, but they didn't expect that it was not the best line. Tang Yu's casual comment was not worth mentioning. Wasn't he secretly belittling them?
"I really underestimated His Highness Tang Yu!" Han Tingyue said with a gloomy expression.
Tang Yu smiled coldly: "It is indeed a match between Da Chu and the King of Kings. I never expected that you could match up in just three days. Although it is not the best second line, it is still a match!"
"Hmph! Your Highness Tang Yu, how about you let me come and ask for advice today?" Han Tingyue said with an imposing manner.
Tang Yu was confident: "Okay! How do you want to ask for advice?"
"Simple! Win two out of three games!" Han Tingyue said bluntly.
Tang Yu subconsciously looked at Emperor Tang. Emperor Tang knew that Da Chu must be well prepared when he mobilized troops this time. In addition, Tang Yu's skills had shocked everyone before, so he nodded to Tang Yu.
Seeing Emperor Tang nodding, Tang Yu said jokingly: "Okay! If you win two out of three games, you will win two out of three games. Just come over!"
"Don't hold back!"
Seeing that Tang Yu agreed, Chu Ningyu said to Han Tingyue.
They, the Great Chu, were bound to win the Yangzhou City and Yuzhou City of the Tang Dynasty, so this time they sent Han Tingyue, the king of kings, to fight against the king. In the hearts of Chu Ningyu and others, Han Tingyue was the king of the couplet, even if Tang Yu was a genius.
, and cannot be Han Tingyue's opponent.
Han Tingyue nodded slightly, stared at Tang Yu and said: "Your Highness Tang Yu, are you ready? I am afraid that the entire Tang Dynasty will be unable to resist my first couplet!"
"Let's take action!" Tang Yu sneered.
As a modern man, he has five thousand years of Chinese wisdom gathered in his mind. Even if the opponent is really the king of kings, Tang Yu is sure to deal with it easily.
Staring at the unfazed Tang Yu, Han Tingyue said directly: "Listen, my first couplet is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven!"
"What? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven?"
Upon hearing Han Tingyue's first couplet, countless people in the Tang Dynasty were stunned.
Can a string of numbers actually become the first couplet?
"Prime Minister!" Emperor Tang looked at Meng Shize.
As the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, Meng Shize didn't understand that Da Chu was openly humiliating the Tang Dynasty.
He looked at the angry Tang Huang and said, "Your Majesty, the other party is going too far!"
"Oh? How do you say this?" Emperor Tang asked.
Meng Shize explained: "Your Majesty, at first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with this first couplet, but couplets are meant to be in pairs. Normally, this couplet should have eight characters."
"And "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven" has only seven characters. The first couplet obviously lacks or forgets the character "eight". The combination of these sentences does not mean that we are bastards. Da Chu is obviously humiliating us for being bastards!"
"Is it a bastard to humiliate the Tang Dynasty?" After Meng Shize's explanation, everyone in the Tang Dynasty came to their senses.
Emperor Tang's eyes suddenly became extremely deep, and his body exuded a vague killing intent. As the monarch of the Tang Dynasty, he knew the intention of Da Chu's couplet.
Three years ago, the Chu army invaded, and the Tang Dynasty lost its first line of defense, Jingzhou City. Afterwards, the Tang Dynasty chose to lie dormant and did not send troops. The Chu Dynasty clearly called the Tang Dynasty a coward.
He knew that Han Tingyue was always known for his viciousness, but Emperor Tang really didn't expect that Han Tingyue would dare to openly insult Datang, calling him a bastard.
Being stared at by Emperor Tang, Han Tingyue said fearlessly: "His Highness Tang Yu, why are you so dumb? Is it because you can't answer? It doesn't matter, His Highness Tang Yu can't answer, but you guys from the Tang Dynasty can also answer!"
The corner of Tang Yu's mouth twitched fiercely. He had long heard that Han Tingyue's first line was a blatant provocation to stir up trouble in the Tang Dynasty's Jinluan Palace. Isn't this Han Tingyue afraid that his father would kill him in anger because of his advantage?
?
Seeing Tang Yu fall into silence, the Da Chu envoy thought that Tang Yu could not answer the second line, so a group of them started to mock.
"That's right! His Highness Tang Yu can't answer it, but everyone from Tang Dynasty can answer it!"
"Why don't you guys of the Tang Dynasty speak up? Are you unable to answer? Could it be that Han Tingyue and Han Zhuangyuan were right when he said that everyone of the Tang Dynasty are rubbish?"
