Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

The older generation of civil servants still maintain their identities, but the younger generation doesn't care so much.

In their view, this time is a rare opportunity to show off their talents in front of Li Shimin.

The first one to stand up was Changsun Jiaqing, not only for himself, but also for the crown prince.

"Your Majesty, I, the civil servant of the Tang Dynasty, will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty."

After receiving Li Shimin's affirmative look, Changsun Jiaqing turned his head to look at Zhi Sisi and said: "Turkic envoy, please come up with a question!"

Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and said, "Heaven makes the chessboard, who dares to play?"

After finishing this couplet, Zhishen shut his mouth and looked coldly at the people in the hall.

And the people in the hall, when they first heard this Shanglian, were still eager to try, ready to show off their demeanor.

After all, they all think highly of themselves, and feel that although they cannot fight the Turks on the battlefield, they will never be ambiguous in the literary world.

However, after careful consideration, they discovered that there is indeed a mystery in this Shanglian.

Such a magnificent Shanglian, ordinary people simply can't match it.

Fang and Du looked at each other, but they both saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes.

One of them is good at making plans, the other is good at analysis and judgment, and they are not good at couplets.

Sitting above the court hall, Li Shimin was also full of helplessness. Although he was a virtuous king, he was an invincible god of war on the battlefield.

But he is the least good at these word games. In Li Shimin's opinion, the Empress Changsun may be better than him.

"Hey, this is definitely not my battlefield."

Li Shimin sighed a long time in his heart, and then looked at the civil servants.

Thinking of the eldest grandson Jiaqing who was full of confidence just now, Li Shimin was the first to look at him.

However, Chang Sun Jiaqing's face was full of embarrassment at this time, his face was flushed, and sweat was already appearing on his forehead.

After hearing the upper couplet, he also tried to match the two lower couplets.

But he found that although he could also write more neat couplets, the artistic conception was too far behind.

Thinking of the step he just took, he is also in a dilemma at the moment.

If he hadn't forced himself to do this, Li Shimin might not have cast his eyes on him, but he had already come out, and it would be insulting to the prestige of the Tang Dynasty to forcefully say a couplet.

Li Shimin obviously also saw the embarrassment of the eldest grandson Jiaqing, he waved his hand and said, "Jiaqing, let's go down!"

Then Li Shimin looked at the other courtiers.

But he saw Changsun Wuji lower his head.

Gao Shilian lowered his head.

The only one who was still struggling was Kong Yingda, but from his painful expression, Li Shimin could also see the difficulty.

'What should I do now! '

For a moment Li Shimin panicked.

He didn't expect that the barbarians from the prairie would not have a single person in the court who could match up with the first Shanglian that came out!
This is simply a disgrace to Datang.

Li Shimin's originally relaxed face suddenly showed monstrous anger.

But at this time, seeing the silent ministers above the hall, the heart that was still hanging before losing his mind was finally let go.

This "heaven makes the chessboard, the stars are the players, who dares to play?" Naturally, it didn't come from East Turkic, and even when Zhishenli left Eastern Turkic, he didn't know about it.

Although the Eastern Turks are also very interested in the culture of the Central Plains, to be honest, literacy is still a difficulty for them.

And the trading rules of this Shanglian and this time are actually from Fan Yang Lu.

The Lu family of Fan Yang started in Youzhou in the north, and among the county kings with five surnames and seven Wangs, they were the closest to the grassland.

The Fanyang Lu family has always had secret contacts with the Turks. Long before Li Shimin announced the trade with the Turks, the Fan Yang Lu family was secretly doing business with the Turks.

After the opening of the trade route, Fan Yang Lu's caravan was the last to set off in order to avoid suspicion.

Seeing that all the Turkic wealth fell into Pei Ju's caravan, Fan Yang and the Lu family naturally refused to stop there.

Naturally, Fan Yang Lu did not dare to openly confront Li Shimin. After thinking about it for a while, they came up with this strategy.

After knowing that Jieli Khan sent a team of envoys, they sent people to find Jieli Khan overnight.

The two parties promised to share the extra money earned through this strategy, and if the strategy failed, Fan Yang and Lu would also guarantee the bottom line for Jieli Khan.

As a result, Jieli Khan immediately agreed, and sent the letter to Zhishisili overnight.

And the three couplets presented by Zhishisili now are the eternal absolutes in Fan Yang's Lu family!
Lu Zhi, the ancestor of the Lu family in Fanyang, was famous for his Confucianism in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was one of the 28 great Confucianists who deserved the Confucian Temple in history, and was listed among the ancient sages of the Chinese nation.

Since then, Fan Yang Lu has been active in the Chinese literary world with his scholarly family.

It is also because after the split of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the three sons of Lu Jing, the Taichang Cheng of the Northern Wei Dynasty, served as the emperor teachers of the Western Wei Dynasty, Northern Qi Dynasty, and Northern Zhou Dynasty respectively, and they had the title of the emperor's teacher's room because of the family.

So now, the eternal absoluteness in the Fanyang Lu family is naturally not easy to come out.

And Fan Yang Lu's idea is to let Li Shimin buy this batch of slaves, cattle and sheep at double the price through these three upper couplets, and profit from it.

As for the tripartite couplets produced by Datang, they had already made arrangements.

In the face of the interests of the family, it is also right for a few people to make small sacrifices.

Such an idea was originally flawless and foolproof.

Unfortunately, because of Li You's existence, everything has changed.

At this moment, Zhishili was full of confidence: "How? Emperor Tang, don't you agree with my first couplet?"

"From this point of view, the country of poetry you boast about is not worthy of its name."

At this moment Zhishili is very proud, he doesn't care who made the triptych at this moment.

Being able to overwhelm Datang in the literary fight that Datang is most proud of, he can boast for a lifetime when he returns to the grassland.

In a word, the entire Tang court was silent and unable to move.

This feeling is really cool.

On the other hand, the officials of the Great Tang Dynasty in the main hall are completely silent at the moment.

Skills are inferior to others, although they are unwilling, how dare they speak.

And Li Shimin was also sitting sulking at the moment.

He looked at these civil servants one by one, full of hope and disappointment again and again.

At first he wanted to yell, but now the target of his anger includes himself.

If I hadn't been careless, I wouldn't be in the current situation.

Suddenly he remembered the person who made him make this decision, and this was Li You.

Immediately, Li Shimin's eyes turned to Li You.

At this moment, although Li You bowed his head like everyone else on the surface, he remained silent.

But the heart is constantly complaining.

[Turkic eternal absolute, this is it! 】

【Are you trying to laugh me to death? 】
