Chapter 97 Ruthless Right
"Everyone in Wuxiamen blows a single-hole flute."
Gu Dazhang, one of the six gentlemen of the Donglin Party, also stood up to fight against Qin Wu at this time. Gu Dazhang, whose courtesy name was Boqin, was a Jinshi in the 35th year of Wanli, currently serves as a doctor of the Imperial College and a member of the Ministry of Justice.
"Every family in the Yunjian Shengjing plays a single stringed zither." This pair did not stump Qin Mu, and was soon faced by Qin Mu.
Gu Dazhang had no choice. Qin Mu was too fierce. He was still underestimating his talent. This person was not a fake fool. He was a genius and a genius. This would be really "that hell won't lose a lot of rice."
Seeing Qin Mu answered again, the Donglin Party members could not stand any longer. Someone stood up and changed his tricks again. An unusual couplet came, "The crow flew into the egrets and elves, and helped him in time."
Qin Mu immediately wrote the second couplet, "The phoenix stands by the mandarin ducks, adding icing on the cake."
"One mouth can swallow two springs, three rivers, four seas, five lakes."
Someone came up with riddle couplets, but the difficulty of this riddle couplet is very high. Even a talented man from the top scorer cannot answer it immediately.
"I dared to enter the doors of thousands of households in all directions." Qin Mu said. The answer to the first couplet was a hot water kettle, and Qin Mu was right.
The Donglin Party members' faces sunk.
The others in the Hall of Supreme Harmony also began to look at each other. Qin Mu was also amazing, he was simply the "God of the Son".
"The white snake crosses the river, and there is a red sun above my head." Another Donglin Party minister came out and said, "This is another mystery couplet, and the answer to this first couplet is the oil lamp.
Qin Mu immediately met, "The green dragon hangs on the wall, wearing ten thousand Venus."
Qin Mu's lower couplet faces the scale, which is neatly matched and leaves the other party with nothing to say.
Another person asked a question with a dark face, "The wind blew and frost fell to the house and turned into light snow."
Qin Mu also had a right solar term, "Sunshine, Dragon Boat Festival, Qingming Festival, Double Ninth Festival, and the water is at the bottom of the water."
"Recalling last year, during the five, six and seventh month of famine, the firewood and rice were burnt and dry, and there was no inch of poverty, and it was impossible to get credit, and it was not worth it. Even if there were close relatives and distant relatives, who would be willing to help him in time?" A very talented minister in the Donglin Party held it in a long time and found a couplet.
This couplet can be said to be much more difficult than the other couplets above, and it can be said to be a shocking couple.
However, the old man was also very unfortunate. Qin Mu had seen this first couplet, not only did he see it, but also knew the second couplet. So Qin Mu quickly published the second couplet: "Fortunately, this year, the first imperial examination, the second and third sessions, the articles were suitable. He won the Five Classics Principles, the name is fragrant and the surname is fragrant. Whether it is Zhang San Li Si, they all came to add icing on the cake."
...
Qin Mu occupied more than a dozen Donglin Party ministers alone, and they were stunned for answering, all of whom were dumbfounded.
Wei Zhongxian almost applauded, but he knew that this occasion could not be like this, but his face was already full of joy. Qin Mu was really too powerful, and it was worth asking Li Yongzhen to invite him.
Now Wei Zhongxian regrets it. Why didn’t he send someone to invite him earlier? If someone like this joins him, are you still afraid of these Donglin Party?
"Talents are really talented?" Emperor Tianqi said in surprise.
Seeing Qin Muchang fighting alone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, oh, it should have been fighting alone in the Donglin Party, all the officials in the court were shocked. The thousands of years of history of the Qin Dynasty, have you ever seen such a genius?
"Young Master Qin's talent is really admirable. I don't know if I have a couplet, and I don't know if you can match it."
As the highest official position of the Donglin Party in the court, Ye Xianggao had to stand up at this time, after all, this involved the entire party.
The Lord Ye Xianggao who stood up was the "three dynasty elder" of the Qin Dynasty. His "proficient in poetry and prose and skill in chess" is well known. He is now the chief minister of the Qin Dynasty (this is a subdivided history, so Xie Jin and Ye Xianggao were both in the Tianqi period of the Qin Dynasty. If we follow the history of the Ming Dynasty, the time between the two was the chief minister of the cabinet was more than 100 years different).
In his early years, Ye Xianggao told fortunes in his early years and learned a poem, "We have no intention to think about wealth and honor, and both fame and fortune will not be achieved." Therefore, he was very depressed, but someone told him that "we have no intention to think about it" is a "image", which means that he wants to join the cabinet and become a prime minister.
When Ye Xianggao was born, he was in the disaster of Japanese pirates. Ye’s mother fled to her parents’ home in North China. Her family was superstitious and believed that the blood was unlucky, so she blasted Ye’s mother out. Her mother gave birth to Ye Xianggao in the pit on the side of the road, so Ye Xianggao’s nickname was called Toilet.
Ye Xianggao was a scholar at the age of 14, a Juren at the age of 21, and a Jinshi at the age of 25. Ye Xianggao's greatest achievement was the "Land of Kings of Blessings", which was his first job.
Ye Xianggao was the hope of the people of the court and the people. Emperor Wanli also respected him very much, but he refused to listen to his advice. Ye Xianggao was unable to capture the power of the ministry. He was twice apart from being the Minister of Personnel, first Sun Piyang and then Xing.
Although he is the honorary leader of the Donglin Party, few of the leaders of the Donglin Party respect him. They all think that he is too weak and has no backbone of scholars. Although he is the chief minister of the Qin Dynasty, he has no great achievements. He blames him for being a double-faced person and let the eunuchs lead the nose.
However, there is one thing that Ye Xianggao is righteous in the officialdom and has strict self-discipline. He has been in the cabinet for several years, and has never harmed anyone, received money from others, and has never asked for a private matter from the six ministries. He does not accept money from others, and will not give money to others, and will not ask others to do a private matter, and will not want to ask him to do a private matter.
At this point, it has to be said that although the members of the Donglin Party are a little aloof and talk big, they really have nothing to say in terms of self-discipline.
"Then please give a question."
Qin Mu said that although he didn't know who this adult was, he was probably the first official of all officials, at least he was a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.
"The tree has been half-finished to leave the axe."
Ye Xianggao looked at Qin Mu deeply and said after a few glances. In fact, Ye Xianggao still admired Qin Mu's talent very much. It was just that the eunuch party he defected to was just as the chief minister of the cabinet and the leader of the Donglin Party. He could not sit idly by and let the eunuch party members suppress the Donglin Party in the court.
So Ye Xianggao published this couplet, which is a very rare couplet, which is a "ruthless pair". Even some talented men do not understand this "ruthless pair".
Most of the ruthless words are picked up by chance, but they are not "matched with a mandarin duck". "Drawing randomly" can succeed. The couplets must have a complete meaning, and only when they are unexpected can they be interesting but also have endless aftertastes.
One, verbatim;
2. The upper and lower parts must have strong ambiguity, and the standard is to make people smile or applaud;
3. A large number of borrowing methods are adopted.
As we all know, couplets generally require that the content of the upper and lower couplets should be relevant, but as for the content, they are all talked about and are absolutely unrelated, which makes people feel strange and unpredictable and endlessly savored, and the coordination should be closely coordinated.
Qin Mu raised his eyes, looked at Ye Xianggao for a few glances, and said astonishingly, "It's true that there is nothing to do with it."
"How did you match this?"
"I didn't meet, this Qin Mu finally failed."
"It's still Master Ye who is powerful, Qin Mu finally can't become arrogant."
"No matter what, Qin Mu is also powerful. He fights so many people alone in the Donglin Party, and he is still honored even if he is defeated."
"Although the Donglin Party finally regained some face this time, the Donglin Party members dared not laugh at the eunuchs for being idiots."
"What's wrong with Qin Mu? It's just a little bit, just a little bit, and you can win the game completely, a pity."
...
A Donglin Party member couldn't help but look at Qin Mu and sneered, "Is this a couplet? What's the level?"
There is no relationship between the first couplet and the second couplet, and the meaning is completely different, but Qin Mu actually said it without blushing and his heart is beating?
"What kind of couplet?"
Zuo Guangdou could hear that this was completely a bad word. Logically speaking, Qin Mu shouldn't have made such a mistake. Could it be that he was dizzy?
"Is this Qin Mu no longer possible? He has faced so many things and is confused?" Emperor Tianqi also asked Wei Zhongxian in confusion.
"I don't know either?"
Wei Zhongxian was also very confused. It shouldn't be. Qin Mu was very powerful just now. He wouldn't have lost to Ye Xianggao inexplicably.
However, an even more unexpected scene appeared. Ye Xianggao looked at Qin Mu deeply and said, "I lost."
"What?"
Zuo Guangdou was stunned. How could it be that Shoufu Ye lost? What's going on?
In the hall, most people didn't understand that Ye Xianggao lost, especially some Donglin Party members, who were even more unable to bear it.
What's going on with this Shoufu Ye? Qin Mu just talked casually, why did you admit defeat? What's the matter?
Except for a few people, most of them are monk Quanzhang Er who is confused and don’t understand what this is and what it is.
"Shoushou Ye, what's going on? Why do you always admit defeat?" Emperor Tianqi asked Ye Xianggao in confusion.
"Your Majesty, I am ruthless. I have been searching for a tree for half to search and don't know how to connect the axe. It is true that "fruit" vs. "tree" vs. "Qianxun" are all metrics (eight feet of ancient times are Xun); "gan" vs. "axe" are all names of objects ("gan" is an ancient weapon). The upper and lower sentences are very neat, but the meaning of the sentence is irrelevant. It is surprisingly perfect. It is the second couplet."
Ye Xianggao said with a wry smile that if you lose, you lose. Ye Xianggao, who is already the chief minister of the cabinet, has no need to make a quibble.
What's more, there are still some people in the Palace of Supreme Harmony who know this "ruthless" and they will also, if they deny it, they will be ridiculed by the people of the world.
"Wuqingwei", many people in the Taihe Palace have heard of it, but they have indeed seen it. After all, Wuqingweiweiweiwei has very few people, and it is a side door that is a side door.
This is OK?
Such an unpopular and ruthless person will do to you?
Everyone was stunned. Qin Mu was too powerful. It seems that it would be difficult for the Donglin Party to be defeated today.
