rebirth first official

Chapter 87 Couplet

After Gao Zhanming finished speaking, he walked towards Liu Shijia with a wine glass.Gao Tianwen was dumbfounded, it was too late to stop him, so he could only watch Gao Zhanming pass by.

Gao Zhanming walked to the table where Liu Shijia was, raised his glass and said, "Brother Liu, it's the first time we meet, let me offer you a toast."

Liu Shijia cast a sideways glance at Gao Zhanming, exchanged glances with the people around him, and asked, "Are you Gao Junliang?"

Gao Zhanming said, "It's right here."

Liu Shijia sneered, obviously disdainful of Gao Zhanming.

Gao Zhanming was not surprised by Liu Shijia's attitude, he was already mentally prepared.Since the whole banquet, Liu Shijia has not moved in his seat, neither drinks the wine toasted by others, nor toasts to others. The three or four people around him are all his followers. These people are not young masters. Not enough to be at the same table with these rich and powerful children, but Liu Shijia let them sit at the table and took a corner for himself. This attitude has already shown that he wants to fight against these children headed by the Gao family children, and does not take them seriously .

There was an opera singing on the stage, but the drinking children turned their attention to Gao Zhanming and Liu Shijia, because the good plays here were much better than the ones on the stage.Liu Shijia had been in Beijing for a while, and the Empress Dowager and An Guogong asked them to get close to Liu Shijia. It would be best if they could win Liu Shijia into their camp, so that he would completely give up his plan to marry the daughter of the Zhao family.Whether these children are willing or unwilling, many people have tried to get close to Liu Shijia, but unfortunately Liu Shijia is as smelly and hard as a stone in a latrine. They all have hot faces and cold butts, and no one Take advantage of it.

It's not without reason that Liu Shijia dared to be so arrogant. He was sure that the Queen Mother and the Gao family would not dare to touch him, so they had to hold him in their hands.Now the Empress Dowager wants to win over the Liu family to deal with the Zhao family. Although the Gao family has temporarily detained him in the capital for an excuse, these days he is provided with good food and drink. He is a proton to the Gao family. Use him to threaten the Liu family to reconsider their marriage with the Zhao family.But if something happens to him in the capital, the Liu family will undoubtedly remember the Gao family's grudge, and completely stand on the Zhao family's side. When the time comes, they will combine the three towns with heavy troops, let alone threaten the Gao family, or raise troops The rebels proclaimed themselves emperor, and I am afraid that few people have the ability to stop them.Therefore, Liu Shijia didn't have to sell the Gao family's face at all. He was sure that no one would dare to touch him, and his freedom was restricted.

Gao Zhanming had just returned to Beijing not long ago, and all the children who had run into a wall thought he didn't know Liu Shijia's bad temper, and they all waited to watch the excitement.Gao Tianwen had already reminded Gao Zhanming before, but unexpectedly, he insisted on going over, and immediately sweated for him.

Gao Zhanming finished drinking the wine in his glass, Liu Shijia sat still on the chair, raised the wine glass in front of him without any intention, and said with a sneer: "I heard that you have a good literary talent, I will write a couplet, If you match, I'll drink this glass of wine."

"Oh?" Gao Zhanming said with great interest, "Please come out."

The opera was still being performed on the stage, and the disciples around all pricked up their ears to hear the conversation between Qing Gao Zhanming and Liu Shijia, and the disciples who sat further away wished that they could have a clairvoyant ear to hear it. , Liu Shijia looked around, saw everyone in his eyes, and said coldly: "Listen well, my Shanglian is-hate the green forest soldiers, pretending that the sun is bright and the sky is bright, and the darkness is deep to bury loyal ministers."

Gao Zhanming couldn't help but startled.He originally thought that Liu Shijia wanted to test him because he questioned his knowledge, but he didn't expect that Liu Shijia's Shanghai couplet was quite ironic, and it seemed to be aimed at their Gao family.Over the years, because of the Gao family's dictatorship, there have been green forest rebellions and loyal ministers who have spoken out, all of which were suppressed by the Gao family.Gao Zhanming was not in the capital last year, but he also heard that Gao Qiang dealt with several Jinshi from the previous year. At this juncture when the position of the Gao family was somewhat shaken, the minions of the Gao family picked out a few passages from their poems, interpreted the meaning of treason in a far-fetched way, exiled the two, and executed the two.

This couplet by Liu Shijia not only satirizes Gao Qiang who holds great power, Gao Zhanming suspects that he is also taking the opportunity to scold himself.When Gao Zhanming was in Jiazhou, he and Li Jingruo took down many rebels who harassed the common people, and they were praised by the common people as the bright sun and blue sky.But the people in Jiazhou understand him, but others may not understand him, they only think that he is trying to build up momentum for himself, and falsely claim his merits.

The atmosphere became very tense for a while, and the disciples around who heard Liu Shijia's words clearly broke into cold sweats.Fortunately, Gao Qiang and Gao Yuanzhao were not here, otherwise they would jump up in anger after hearing Liu Shijia's words.However, even if he was angry, he didn't dare to take Liu Shijia on, but this guy was the one they wanted to win over.The Gao family's children felt even more embarrassed - Gao Qiang actually asked them to win over this guy, but this guy obviously hated the Gao family so much, it would be good if he didn't get scolded, how could he become good brothers with him?It's just too embarrassing!

Gao Zhanming didn't panic, he pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "Rejuvenate Jiazhou City, try the green clouds and purple energy, and the common people will support the wise men."

Liu Shijia didn't expect Gao Zhanming to be so shameless that he boasted about his achievements.Gao Zhanming had just returned from Jiazhou, so "reviving Jiazhou City" and "supporting the Magi" naturally referred to himself.The Shanglian that Liu Shijia published just now is indeed satirizing Gao Jia and Gao Zhanming.He has always been very contemptuous of the Gao family. Although he doesn't know Gao Zhanming well, Gao Zhanming is also a child of the Gao family. He has also met many Gao family children in the capital, whether they are praised or scolded by others. Yes, he felt that those people were idiots, and he didn't believe that the Gao family could cultivate any students with real talents and real learning.Therefore, he didn't believe in Gao Zhanming's three-year winning streak and his achievements in Jiazhou Mansion.

Liu Shijia grinned: "Brother Gao, do you know how to write the word modest?"

Gao Zhanming shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "This statement was not made by my stupid brother, but it was written by tens of thousands of people in Jiazhou. If you can't be called a sage, wouldn't you have let down the support of thousands of people?"

Liu Shijia was taken aback.What Gao Zhanming said was indeed true. The people of Jiazhou jointly signed a letter to the imperial court requesting that Gao Zhanming be promoted, and Gao Qiang showed the joint letter to the officials in the court hall. Leveraging Gao Zhanming's reputation among the people to temporarily restore some of the current Gao family's criticized situation, but this joint book should not be fake.If Gao Zhanming really lived up to his reputation, how could so many people be willing to write a joint letter for him?Even if it is forced, it is too difficult to force tens of thousands of people. If Gao Zhanming is not a good official or even a mediocre corrupt official, then this will cause resistance from the common people and cause turmoil, which is not worth the candle.Moreover, I heard that the people jointly signed a letter and sent them away from thousands of miles away. This is all rumors among the people. Gao Zhanming may not be able to do this by putting gold on his face.

Thinking of these, Liu Shijia was a little dazed for a moment.Is Gao Zhanming really a capable minister?That is really strange.But no matter what, Gao Zhanming's self-praise like this is still strange and uncomfortable.

The disciples at the side heard Gao Zhanming's second couplet, and immediately clapped their hands and applauded: "Okay, you're right!"

They heard Liu Shijia sarcasm the Gao family, although they knew what was going on in their hearts, they could only dare to be angry and dare not speak out.As for Gao Zhanming's second line, he just praised himself, but did not improve his family, which is equivalent to taking the seat of the right number, taking Liu Shijia's satire of the Gao family on himself, but leaving the Gao family aside, and even saving face for himself , It's too smart!

The children sitting farther away pricked up their ears and didn't hear what was said. They probed each other and asked each other, wishing they could shut up the mouths of the actors who were babbling and singing on the stage.

Gao Zhanming smiled slightly, and said: "How about I make another horizontal criticism? Horizontal criticism is——fair and comfortable."

Liu Shijia's face turned even darker.Gao Zhanming is really thick-skinned enough, boasting himself is not enough, and then making up the words "fairness and freedom" makes it even more clear that he is self-righteous and disdains to argue with those who misunderstood him, but Liu Shijia became A villain who judges a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart.

Liu Shijia originally wanted to take this opportunity to give Gao Zhanming a bad rap. He also knew that although the Gao family's children hated him, they dared not take him for granted and wanted to curry favor with him instead. Therefore, he thought he would definitely see Gao Zhanming's embarrassment when he came out of this Shanglian Unexpectedly, he was the one who was speechless in the end.He glared at Gao Zhanming, and said with a subterranean smile, "Brother Gao really has literary talents." After speaking, he revealed the matter, and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up vegetables.

Gao Zhanming didn't leave, and said in a low voice: "My second couplet has already matched, didn't Brother Liu agree to drink this glass of wine? Could it be that Brother Liu is not satisfied with my second couplet?"

Liu Shijia was instantly annoyed.He just said that as long as Gao Zhanming is right, he will drink the wine in front of him.If he doesn't drink it now, he will be violating what he himself said. If he is asked to say what is wrong with Gao Zhanming's second couplet, he will not be able to say it. When the time comes to argue, Gao Zhanming will have the upper hand.But if he drank it, it meant that he agreed with Gao Zhanming's couplet and recognized Gao Zhanming's achievements.

The situation was deadlocked for a while, and the people around Liu Shijia quietly pulled Liu Shijia's sleeve: "Master..."

Finally, Liu Shijia had no choice but to give Gao Zhanming a vicious look, and drank the wine in the wine cup in front of him in one gulp.

Only then was Gao Zhanming satisfied, and he said a few more compliments to Liu Shijia, before turning around and returning to his seat.

Just now Gao Tianwen was sitting far away, and the sound of opera on the stage overshadowed the conversation between Gao Zhanming and Liu Shijia, but the boy who sat close passed the words to the boy who sat far away, and Gao Tianwen already knew what happened just now thing.

Gao Tianwen leaned close to Gao Zhanming's ear, and said with a smile, "Jun Liang, I really have you, and your second couplet is really beautiful. Seeing that, Liu Shijia has nothing to say!"

Gao Zhanming said indifferently: "I am helping him out."

Gao Tianwen was puzzled, but Gao Zhanming didn't dwell on this topic any longer, and watched the drama on stage seriously.

That night, what happened at the banquet reached Gao Qiang's ears.Gao Qiang found someone to monitor Liu Shijia's every move in the capital, and she naturally set up eyes and ears at the banquet attended by Liu Shijia and Gao Zhanming.

Gao Qiang was furious when his eyes and ears said Liu Shijia's Shanglian: "Could he be satirizing Aijia?!"

The man said: "He seems to be satirizing Gao Yushi."

Gao Qiang was startled: "Gao Yushi?"

So that person told Gao Qiang about Gao Zhanming's second couplet and horizontal commentary.

Gao Qiang frowned after hearing this, and found that if Gao Zhanming was substituted into Liu Shijia's Shanglian, it seemed to make sense.Although she was still annoyed, she was not so angry anymore, and said coldly: "The people of the Liu family are really not good people! They really don't know how to flatter them, they don't eat toasts, but they want to eat fine wine!"

Gao Qiang thought for a while, and said: "I asked our children to get close to him, but I repeatedly hit the wall. But judging from today's situation, Gao Junliang will not suffer in his hands. You pass on my words, tell Gao Junliang, let He is close to Liu Shijia, it is best to dispel his idea of ​​marrying the Zhao family as soon as possible!"

The man took the order and left the palace.
