Tang Bohu Marries Qiuxiang

Chapter 181 Six Books ([-])

"It's a good one, just wait for the first sound of the new thunder!" Zhu Youtang raised his glass, "My dear friends, let's drink this cup to the brim."

Zhu Houzhao whispered to Tang Bohu quietly: "Tell me about you, you are obviously full of talent and you still refuse to pour it out, but it's just a New Year's poem, so it needs to be so hard and soft?"

All the ministers laughed, but Lin Jiang, Minister of the Household Department, looked more and more embarrassed. Although he didn't slap his face, he could feel the burning pain.

Sitting next to Hubu Shangshu, Qi Shen, Minister of Rites, signaled Lin Jiang to stop talking, and then said with a smile: "Tang Qianhu's talent and learning can be regarded as a talent. It's a pity that a good scholar became a military officer of Jinyiwei. ah!"

"Yes, what a pity." Feng Qi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, also nodded in agreement and glanced at Tang Bohu's face.

Qi Shen, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, continued: "I have a distant relative who is also in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and Tang Qianhu's talent and name are also well-known in Jiangnan."

"Really? I don't know why." Zhu Youtang said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the south of the Yangtze River is hundreds of miles away from Beijing, and we have not known it before that." Qi Shen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, continued: "I heard that Tang Qianhu's pairing skills are also top-notch!"

"The lower officials are less talented and less learned, and should not be praised by adults." Tang Bohu bowed his head and said.

"Tang Qianhu is too modest." Qi Shen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said: "I heard that Tang Yin's name is widely spread in the south of the Yangtze River, and at the time Tang Qianhu was alone in the Qinhuai River. Speechless."

Wang Zaijin, Minister of the Ministry of War, scolded with a smile: "Tang Qianhu has such a skill, it is not kind to keep it hidden! Why don't you let me wait to open my eyes?"

"Okay!" Qi Shen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said: "I will come and publish a couplet."

Tang Bohu just wanted to refuse, but the other party rushed to challenge, half of the sentence was stuck in his throat, and he didn't know how to say it.

"The mountains and lakes are all around you!" Qi Shen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said: "This couplet is the upper couplet that I made when I was studying. I also ask Mr. Tang to write the second couplet."

Everyone sitting there staring at Tang Bohu, Zhu Youtang also looked at each other with deep meaning.

After thinking about it for a while, Tang Bohu felt that the first couplet was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, and then spoke the second couplet: "Wan Jia is deeply worried and happy."

As soon as Tang Bohu's second couplet came out, Li Dongyang put down his teacup and sat in his seat with his eyes closed to rest.

Seeing Li Dongyang's actions, Liu Jian also sat on the side with peace of mind.

"The lakes and mountains on all sides are worrying and joyful to thousands of families, and the bottom of my eyes can see my heart." Zhu Youtang nodded and appraised: "Wonderful, really wonderful!"

"Your Majesty, thank you!" Tang Bohu answered politely.

"I still have a couplet!" Qi Shen, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said: "Cook the new tea with water from the river!"

"Buy Qingshan as a painting screen!" Tang Bohu said, waving his fan.

All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, right so fast!It seemed that he just said a sentence without thinking about it, and it was very correct. This kind of quick-wittedness is really amazing. Maybe it was a coincidence that all the ministers were also waiting for Qi Shen's reaction.

Qi Shen said again: "Doujiu looks at the twenty-four history!"

"The incense burner is quiet to the Thirteen Classics."

Feng Qi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, said: "That's right."

Qi Shen was a little surprised and asked the question again, "White horse west wind!"

"Apricot blossoms in misty rain south of the Yangtze River." Tang Bohu lazily replied, waving his fan.

Qi Shen seemed to be getting stronger, "Qianda is all about his affairs."

"Ups and downs don't change the feelings of old people!" Tang Bohu answered eloquently.

Qi Shen: "Looks like a flower but not a painting!"

Tang Bohu: "There is no end!"

……

"Cough, cough, cough!" Liu Jian, who was sitting on the side, suddenly coughed violently.

This sentence made everyone a little dumb. Lin Jiang's hand holding the teacup was shaking, and he felt that he had kicked the iron plate.

Thinking back to the time when Tang Bohu first came to the capital, he was proficient in cursing people with poems at the cultural station. This Tang Bohu's talent is really crazy!
Tang Bohu sniffed sheepishly, I was born hundreds of years later than you!Pair with me?Don't underestimate China's 5000-year heritage. You were born in a modern age with a prosperous civilization in your previous life, right?You have never seen the sharp jokes that are popular in the legend.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff for a moment, Zhu Youtang gave He Ding, the admiral of the East Factory, a look.

He Ding clapped his hands when he received his gaze, and a group of maids came forward to serve the ministers with food and wine.

Seeing that the food and wine were served, the ministers were not saying anything. The literary battle between Tang Bohu and the Minister of the Household Lin Jiang seemed to have never happened, and they all ate the food and wine on their own.

The banquet lasted for three hours, and Zhu Youtang's face was flushed with drunkenness. All the ministers used their inability to drink as an excuse to resign from the wine, and Zhu Youtang just followed suit and announced the end of the banquet.

After everyone saluted and left, Tang Bohu walked in the corner of the crowd. Zhu Houzhao stepped forward and whispered to Tang Bohu, "It's a good thing my father didn't let you perform the trick of putting people in boxes and sticking them with knives."

"Yes!" Tang Bohu heaved a sigh of relief.

Zhu Houzhao endured the drowsiness: "I'm going back to the East Palace first."

"Farewell to the prince." Tang Bohu bid farewell to Zhu Houzhao.

Walking out of the Forbidden City, Wang Zaijin, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, said to Tang Bohu: "Master Tang's talents and learning are greatly admired, and Lin Jiang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs. I hope that Tang Qianhu will not care about the conflict between the old words."

Listening to Wang Zaijin's speech posture, it doesn't look like what a minister of the Ministry of War said to himself, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, as a minister of the Ministry of War. It stands to reason that Jinyiwei belongs to the supervision department.The Minister of the Ministry of War is in charge of the military power of the Ming Dynasty and the transfer of soldiers.Tang Bohu has no real power, you, so in terms of official position, Wang Zaijin's official position is more than a head higher than Tang Bohu's, and the power is even more different.

But the other party's attitude obviously put his own value very low, Tang Bohu looked at him in surprise.Could it be that this guy wants to cling to himself right now? ?
A Minister of the Ministry of War.The six ministers of the Manchu Dynasty belonged to the leader of the civil official group.

Such a guy wanted to get close to him, Tang Bohu felt a little uneasy, whether this guy had some other purpose.

Tang Bohu went on to say: "My lord Wang's words are wrong. The lower officials are just talented and learned. They can't compare with the wisdom of Mr. Lin, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs. The way to govern the country is that the lower officials don't know anything about the taxation of the family and the country. It's just what you do. .

"What Tang Qianhu said is true." Wang Zaijin said again: "But I think Lin Jiang, Minister of the Household Department, is an elder. It is not the way elders should be so aggressive to new officials.

"The elders should educate the younger generation. Lin Jiang, Minister of the Household Department, has struggled in the Ming government for many years. It is not too much to point out a newcomer like me. Master Lin Jiang is also painstaking, and the next official understands."
