Tang Taizong is my elder brother

Chapter 7

Behind the screen, Chang Sheng saw that the emperor agreed to the other party's request casually, and was also surprised. The emperor either had absolute confidence, or he really didn't take it seriously.

Suddenly he felt that someone was pulling his sleeve, and turned his head to see that it was Yang Zhao.

I saw him asking in a low voice: "There was such a quarrel just now, why is it not arguing now?"

"They want to compare with us." Lu Yuan replied.

"Ah, write a pair, I thought I was going to do a trick, that's really boring..." The emperor's grandson started to have a headache when he heard "write a pair", and suggested: "Why don't we go."

Chang Sheng said that he was not in a hurry to leave at this moment, and comforted him: "Good cousin, don't worry, the fun is about to begin!"

The two of them spoke a little loudly, and Eunuch Zhu made a silent gesture, so the emperor and grandson had no choice but to pouted and stopped talking.

……

In the main hall, the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom saw that Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was in the trap, and they were secretly delighted. They stood up and hurriedly said: "My lords, my topic is very simple. Please write a couplet. The upper and lower couplets add up to one hundred ancient names. 'If it is right, our country will pay tribute every year and become a vassal every year, if it is not right..."

"If you're right, if you're wrong, don't make any noise!" Prince Yang Guang pulled him aside, saluted him, and said, "Father, don't pay attention to this clown, I still propose to send troops to punish..."

Before he could finish speaking, Emperor Wen of Sui waved his hand and interrupted him: "I can't contradict what I say. Lovers, please think about this topic first, do you have a clue?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials below fell silent.

In the 2000-year history, there are no less than one hundred names and surnames, but they must be gathered into a couplet, and the antithesis must be neat and rhyme. I really can't think of it at this moment.

Suddenly, this Lu Ming raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I thought of an upper couplet: Confucius, Mencius, Han Feizi, Mozi... Mozi... well, it seems inappropriate if it is longer, let me think about it again, think about it again." I want to..." Halfway through the sentence, it felt wrong, and she blushed and retreated.

Incompetent bungler.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was also a little angry, "My dear friends, don't you like to drink and compose poems on weekdays, are you romantic? Why do you need to speak now, and all your dear friends are silent?"

The emperor was furious, and naturally the officials in the audience couldn't keep silent any longer, and offered their pairs one after another.

"Zhao Zilong rides the savior alone, Guan Yunchang is loyal and brave through the ages. Zhang Yide bravely wins the three armies, and Huang Han raises his arrows to the sky." This is a general.

"In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a hundred schools of thought contend. Tens of thousands of people are united in one mind", "When the moon is not seen in the Shangyuan, light a few lamps to brighten Confucius and Mencius. When the thunder is awakened, beat a few drums to proclaim the prestige of Sun Wu." These are civil servants.

……

Everyone said a lot, but either the confrontation was not neat, or it didn't meet the requirements.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was not satisfied with what he heard. Not only did he become more irritable, he said in his heart: I am a country in the sky, and China is magnificent. Could it be that this little Japanese slave is really overwhelmed?

Immediately resorted to a strategy of slowing down the army, and said: "My dear friends, there are a lot of things to do today, and it's getting late now. I'm tired, so why don't you stop here first, wait for all the gentlemen to go back and think about it slowly for one night, and come back tomorrow morning to reply." How is the Japanese envoy?"

Everyone was overjoyed, that's right, go back today, find a few literary masters tonight, and talk together by candlelight, don't believe it, I still can't think of a good couplet.

Although the emperor's "delaying plan" seems to be tricky, it is better than being stuck here without thinking.

Changsheng's heart is not good: the emperor said so when the other party made a bet, but now that he has accepted the challenge and finds a reason to delay, the other party will definitely not give up.

Sure enough, the envoy of the Japanese country was not happy when he heard it: "My lords have been discussing for so long, but no one can answer it? I think they are just a bunch of rascals with no appearance. What is the kingdom of heaven and the state of etiquette? If so! Such a country does not deserve our allegiance!"

"you……"

Everyone's faces were flushed with anger, but they just couldn't think of an answer, so they could only worry about where they were.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty also had some regrets at this moment, and thought: "Could it be that I was reckless, this is indeed an eternal absolute, so many people can't figure it out, what should I do?"

I saw the Japanese elated, like a clown, and was about to continue talking, when suddenly a childish voice came from behind the dragon chair: "You fart!!"

I saw a small black whirlwind rushing out from the screen behind the dragon chair, ran up to him, and spat at him with a "bah".

The Japanese envoy was stunned by the child for a moment.

The crown prince Yang Guang exclaimed in a low voice: "Zhaoer, why did you come here?"

All civil and military officials recognized this young master, who was the prince's eldest son Yang Zhao.

When he saw him spit on the Japanese envoy's face, he was secretly amused.

As soon as Yang Guang finished asking, Yang Zhao shouted at him with a happy face: "Father, I will solve this problem!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Yang Guang was also taken aback, thinking that he was talking nonsense for fun, and immediately shouted: "Shut up, you are young, stop talking nonsense, get back quickly." He was about to pull him.

Unexpectedly, Yang Zhao was small and strong, so he didn't hold back after being pulled. Yang Zhao ran to Yang Jian in a hurry, knelt down and shouted: "Grandfather, Zhao'er is not lying, I really will!"

"Oh?" Yang Jian saw that the boy's expression was different from his usual playing time, as if he was a bit genuine, he was still hesitating, and saw that the kid had already woken up.

Wiping the saliva off his face, he said in embarrassment, "Is this how you treat guests, royal children?"

"Hey, you little dwarf, if you have something to say, quickly tell me your topic again!" Yang Zhao supported Yang Jian's knee, and he gained confidence in his heart.

"Hmph, Your Highness is not considered a Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, do you mean what you say?"

"Hey, your envoy's remarks are different. Just now he clearly said that he is a person above the main hall. He did not require that he must be a civil and military minister. Your highness was also above the main hall just now, so he is naturally qualified." Zuo Shangshu Gao Ying argued. road.

Hearing what he said, the Japanese envoy was at a loss for words for a while, and finally said after thinking for a long time: "Okay, even if you are qualified, if you can answer your highness, the envoy will give you three kowtows. From now on, our country will pay tribute every year. Become a minister at the age of one year, and forever serve the Great Sui as the Lord!"

"I'll give you three kowtows if I can't answer! I'll also pay you tribute every year and become a minister every year!" Yang Zhao's temper also came up.

As soon as these words came out, Wo Nu was overjoyed. Originally, this time was just a test, but he didn't expect it to be possible to succeed.Considering his young age, he may not even be able to recognize a few big characters, and it is wishful thinking to think of this absolute.The day when I get promoted and get rich is just around the corner!
Wonu figured it out and nodded in agreement, "Then listen to the title: there must be a hundred names of ancient people in the upper and lower couplets, so tell me!"

Seeing that the other party agreed, Yang Zhao clapped his hands happily and said, "Okay, little man, listen up! The upper line is: 28 Generals of Yuntai"

Hiss, as soon as the first couplet came out, everyone was shocked, "Yuntai 28 generals", absolutely nothing.

Yuntai 28 will be the 28 generals under the command of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu of the Han Dynasty who helped him unify the world and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. They are all famous figures in history.
Everyone also looked at the crown prince Yang Guang in admiration. They didn't expect that His Royal Highness usually had a bad reputation, but it turned out that it was hidden. His Royal Highness taught well.

Yang Guang was also puzzled, he knew how much his child weighed, let alone couplets, he would run away if asked to write, and when the fathers and sons mentioned him, they shook their heads and gritted their teeth. Hanako.Why did you get the hang of it today?

This Japanese slave is also a Chinese hand, and he is familiar with poetry and books. When he heard Shanglian, his heart was half cold, and he stared at Yang Zhao with a pale face, with cold sweat on his head.

After Yang Zhao finished talking about the first couplet, he got stuck when talking about the second couplet, and kept repeating, "The second couplet is, the second couplet is..."

It turned out that he didn't read books, but he forgot about the next sentence when he got excited, and looked at the screen behind him while talking.

　These can definitely be found on Baidu. If you are interested, you can find them yourself.
