Chapter 8: The Confrontation of the Court

Seeing him grinning for a long time, Changsheng knew that he had forgotten to clean up, so he had to stretch out half of his head and whispered: "The Seventy-Two Sages of Confucius."

"Who is behind? Come out!" Yang Jian shouted in a low voice when he heard the voice.

When Eunuch Zhu saw that the emperor was angry and knew that he had violated the emperor's taboo, he was so scared that he hurriedly led Changsheng out and explained: "This child came with the prince and was always behind the screen."

Among the military generals in the audience, Li Yuan suddenly exclaimed: "Changsheng?":.

Seeing Li Yuan speak out, Yang Jian asked immediately: "Why does this person Li Aiqing know?"

"The emperor forgives his crime. This person is the third son of a humble minister, called Changsheng." Li Yuan knelt down and reported with a fist.

The emperor looked at him and thought to himself, why are you all bringing your children to the court? He stroked his beard, "Oh, it turns out that he is your Saburo. I have heard of it. What did you say later?"

Changsheng knelt down and bowed, saying, "Report to the emperor, the prince came up with the absoluteness of the Japanese envoy, "The first couplet is the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, and the second couplet is the seventy-two sages of Confucius."

When Yang Zhao heard this, he shouted happily: "Yes, yes, yes, I remember it, that's it!"

The whole show was not calm after a "wow".

All officials were discussing each other in a verbal discussion:

"The gimbal is opposite to the cave gate, twenty-eight is opposite to seventy-two, the parallelism is neat, beautiful, rightly beautiful."

"At a young age, you can be so absolute, and your highness is extremely talented."

"Look at what the Japanese dwarf will say now, haha!"

...

The Japanese envoy was also depressed. This pair was better than the one that the Emperor Shengde thought. If he insisted on denying it, it would be a humiliation to himself.

Unexpectedly, I didn’t expect that even the civil and military officials in the court could not think of it, but they were actually trapped in the hands of a little baby?

Yang Guang was also shocked for a long time and could not calm down. Did he really misunderstand it? In fact, his son was Wenquxing, but he had been hiding it all the time?

The emperor did not rub the sand in his eyes, looked at Yang Zhao and asked in a low voice: "Tell me honestly, who did this couple come up with?"

"Yes..." Yang Zhao looked at his cousin Changsheng, saw him shook his head slightly, and said nothing more.

But this time, Emperor Wen of Sui could see clearly in his eyes, and immediately asked again, and finally understood the whole story of the matter.

...

It turned out that when Changsheng heard the question from the Japanese envoy just now, he burst into laughter.

This little Japan is so funny. Just because of the stuff that is a big street in a thousand years, I want to compare with my country. If I don’t teach you a lesson today, I will be a shame to be the descendant of Yan and Huang!

Changsheng made up his mind and lay down in Yang Zhao's ear and told him the answer. After discussing it, if no one could answer, Yang Zhao would go out.

Yang Zhao likes to do such a popular thing the most. When he saw that the adults were caught blindly, he rushed out without caring about it. As a result, he accidentally forgot the words and the "master behind the scenes" also surfaced.

...

"Boy, you really thought of these twenty-eight generals of Yuntai and seventy-two sages of Confucius?" The Japanese envoy still disbelief and looked at Changsheng with red eyes and asked.

Seeing that the other party was not giving up, Changsheng stood up and thrust his chest, and said in a slight voice: "Couplets are just a trick. From the age of seventy or eighty, I can answer the answers from children who are three or four years old, what's the difficulty?"

"Okay, okay, it's not too much!" The Japanese envoy was so angry that he said, "Then do you dare to ask me to take the test again?"

"How do you want to take the exam?"

"Just to the couplet, I say the first couplet, you can follow the next couplet!"

As soon as these words were expressed, all civil and military officials became nervous again. After all, they were young and answered difficult questions, and then they ended. Both sides did not hurt their face. Why do they need to cause trouble? If they can't answer later, will they be wasted?

No matter what the civil and military officials think, Changsheng wanted to teach this Japanese devil a lesson at this moment. He raised his head with his back and said, "Okay, just make a question."

"The first couplet is: the second half of the night"

"The second couplet is: Mid-Autumn Festival and August!"

"I came out with the first couplet: the orioles sing in the north, and the swallows sing in the south."

"The second couplet I am talking about: blessings come unparalleled, misfortunes never come in one single way."

"I will add a few more words to the first couplet just now: The orioles sing and the autumn is gone in the north, and the swallows sing and the spring is coming."

"Your first couplet is just like this, and I'm talking about the second couplet: Unparalleled blessings have come to this day, but misfortunes have not gone alone yesterday!"

"You, you... well! Listen to my first couplet: The moon is full in the sky, the moon is half on earth, the moon is full and the moon is half full! You talk about the second couplet!!"

"I'm right in the second couplet: the end of this year, the beginning of the next year, and the end of the year!"

"I came out of the 'Two Apes and Wood Mountain, and this monkey will also see it together!" Hahaha, boy, are you right?!" The Japanese slave's eyes were red, his voice was hoarse, and he was already crazy.

Changsheng heard the other party’s question implicitly sarcastic, thought for a moment, and replied calmly: “A horse is trapped in the mud, how can it be born with a hoof?!”

"You...?!!" The Japanese invaders were angry and did not breathe a sigh of relief. He rolled his eyes and fainted.

Seeing that he was so angry that he cursed in his heart, Changsheng said in his heart that he deserved it!!

I am a Chinese, how can you allow you to bully the clown when you are waiting for the jumping clown?!

But he remained silent and turned around and bowed deeply to Yang Jian: "I'm lucky to have not been humiliated."

"Okay, okay," Yang Jian's face was filled with joy and praised repeatedly, "Duke Tang is worthy of being the pillar of the country. He raised a good son, very good! Come on, give Li Changsheng three hundred taels of silver!"

Three hundred taels? My God, I will get so much reward after a few words. This money is so easy to make.

Changsheng was a little confused, and Li Yuan whispered behind him: "What are you doing while standing there? Thank you very much!"

The emperor was satisfied when he saw Changsheng kowtowing hard several times.

He glanced at the Japanese envoy who was still unconscious on the ground, and his anger disappeared. He stood up and waved his sleeves, "Retreat!"

Changsheng lay on the ground and Xie En didn't dare to get up. He saw a pair of exquisite cowhide boots standing in front of him, and then slowly raised his head.

As soon as I looked up, I saw a handsome and fair face.

Yang Zhao’s father, His Highness the Crown Prince!

Yang Guang gently held him up and Changsheng stood up.

Changsheng was about to salute, but Yang Guang waved his hand and signaled not to use it. He patted the dust on his legs for him and asked with a smile: "Are you the third son Changsheng of your cousin?"

Changsheng didn't know the relationship between the prince and his father, nor did he know the specific name of the person in front of him, so he could only answer: "I am Changsheng."

"It's not only a handsome man, but also has excellent knowledge. I am a dull child, so I need to teach him more in the future."

"Where is the prince, my cousin is pure and lively and cute, and I feel ashamed of myself." Changsheng bowed to the ground.

The prince was about to say something again, but Li Yuan said, "What are you still doing here? The limelight hasn't been revealed enough? It's a long time since your mother was cold, and she should worry about you."

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he looked solemn and bowed deeply to His Highness the Prince, "Your Highness the Prince, the Lord, the Lord will take his leave first." After that, he looked at Changsheng, turned around and strode out of the hall.

The prince waved his hand as a gift, looked at Li Yuan's back, and smiled and said nothing.

Yang Zhao was afraid of his father and stood aside, not daring to speak. At this time, he saw his father looking at him and whispered: "Father, my cousin and I can leave."

Yang Guang smiled, "I performed well today, please take Changsheng back."

Only then did Yang Zhao feel relieved and pulled Changsheng to run away.

Yang Guang's smile gradually faded and he murmured to himself: "Li Yuan, Li Changsheng."

The couplets are from Baidu. If you are interested, you can search for them. There are many more interesting ones.
