Chapter 164: Threat
"Since you all say so, I will not refuse. I will be the commander tonight."
The ninth prince also saw the few people's thoughts, and did not say much. He agreed with a smile, pondered for a moment, and said, "It is Mid-Autumn Festival, and this first order is to respond to the scene first, and use the word Autumn as the order. In a cup of tea, you will write a poem each.
If you can't do it, then you'll punish yourself for a cup."
As he said that, he looked at Zhai Jun: "Young Master Zhai, you can take this first order first."
The limited-word order is only an entry-level wine order. It is not difficult. Zhai Jun did not refuse and said with a smile: "Then I will show my ugly words first."
After saying that, he pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up and said confidently: "The autumn wind is bleak and the weather is cool, and the plants and trees are shaking and dew turns into frost."
"The autumn wind is bleak and the weather is cool, and the grass and trees are shaking and dew turns into frost...
In just two sentences, it shows a vivid picture of autumn colors. The autumn wind is bleak, the plants and trees are withered, and the white dew is frost. It vividly describes the bleak feeling of autumn. It is good, good, it is really a good sentence."
The ninth prince chanted softly. As a prince, he received the teachings of great scholars from the cabinet since he was a child. His literary skills will naturally not be bad. At least it is okay to appreciate and comment on the poems. I savored them carefully, and then commented on the essence of the poem, and finally praised them.
"Haha, Your Highness the Ninth Prince has been awarded too much." Zhai Jun smiled modestly, but he still enjoyed the praise from the Ninth Prince, and he couldn't even hide the smile at the corner of his mouth.
The ninth prince looked at Wen Ruxin, who was sitting at Zhai Jun's head: "Young Master Wen, what's the next one?"
It is not difficult to limit the word "limiting" and Zhai Jun's thoughts during this period. Wen Ruxin had already thought about the poem, but without refusal, he opened his mouth: "The whistle and whispering leaves send cold sounds, and the autumn wind on the river moved the guest's love."
"The cold sound of wujie leaves, the autumn wind on the river moves the guests' love...
Using the bleak autumn wind to write about the homesickness in my heart, using the scenery to express my emotions, using the emotions to enter the scenery, protecting each other, is really a good poem, Mr. Wen is indeed very talented."
The ninth prince chanted softly, savored it carefully, and finally praised with a smile.
"Your Highness is too much." Wen Ruxin bowed his hand, and after saying that, he looked at Li Xiuran, raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Li is very literary. A word limit order, I guess it will definitely not be difficult for you. If you don't have the following one, then Lord Li will take the order and let me read it. How about it?"
Qin Chuan and others immediately looked at Li Xiuran. Wen Ruxin's personality was clear. When he introduced himself, he showed that he wanted to compete with Li Xiuran. Now he took the initiative to attack him. This is really wanting to compete with him.
You are not finished yet, right? Li Xiuran glanced at him, wanted to read it immediately and fight back.
He remembered some poems with the word Qiu, and he recalled a few sentences just now.
However, what he can remember are all classics from his previous life. If you copy one song, you will lose one song. Just use one song just to compete for a while. It feels a bit unprofitable, so it is better to wait until the critical moment to make the final decision.
After weighing the pros and cons, Li Xiuran made a decision in his heart: admit defeat.
Anyway, if he doesn't copy poetry and only discusses his literary skills, he is really not as good as Wen Ruxin. He will have no psychological pressure to admit his cowardice.
"I have been busy with official duties recently and overthinking it. I can't think of it for a while. It may disappoint Mr. Wen. I am willing to accept the loss and punish myself for one cup."
Um?
Qin Chuan and others were all stunned.
The Ninth Prince also looked at Li Xiuran with some surprise. The limited order was only an entry-level wine order, and it was not very difficult. He never expected that he would not be able to do it.
A hint of dullness flashed in Wen Ruxin's eyes. He thought about how he would deal with the poems written by Li Xiuran were better than his own. He also thought about how he would respond if the poems written by Li Xiuran were not as good as his, but he never thought that he would give in directly...
What routine is this?
Wen Ruxin looked at him and frowned slightly, "Mr. Li is a little too modest? This is just a limit order, and it doesn't cost much attention. With Master Li's literary talent, you should be able to do it at will. How can you not do it?
Or does Lord Li think I am not qualified to listen to your masterpiece?"
You look down on me too much. If you don’t copy it, I can’t even hold it in my hands... Li Xiuran muttered in his heart and said lightly: “Young Master Wen is thinking too much, but I just can’t do it for a while, that’s all.”
Seeing Wen Ruxin frowning and about to speak again, the ninth prince took the lead and said, "Li Shidu has the emperor's order, and he has been busy investigating the case these two days, which is indeed a bit exhausting. If you can't do it for a while, then think about it again. Anyway, there is a cup of tea, and it will not be too late to talk after you have thought about it.
Mr. Zhai and Mr. Wen have already made two good sentences in succession. Let’s drink a drink together first.”
Wen Ruxin had no choice but to say more, so he could only pick up the wine glass.
Li Xiuran, Qin Chuan and others also raised their glasses toast and drank them all in one go.
The ninth prince put down his wine glass, looked at Li Xiuran, and said with deep meaning: "When talking about the case, I suddenly remembered that I have many guards and escorts under my command, and my grandfather is even more prosperous outside the palace.
With too many subordinates, I will inevitably be a little bold. Under the banner of this king or my grandfather, I will do whatever I want outside and be lawless. In fact, I or my grandfather have no idea about this."
Here comes... I pushed the blame on the servants, but you pushed it cleanly... Li Xiuran secretly complained and said with a smile:
"As the identities of His Highness the Ninth Prince and General Liang, the lower officials also believe that they will not commit crimes. If they encounter them, the lower officials will investigate carefully and will not be wrongly accused of His Highness the Ninth Prince and General Liang at all."
The ninth prince frowned slightly: "No need to be so troublesome. If Li Shidu encounters it, just hand it over to me directly. I will definitely punish him severely.
It doesn’t take much effort for Li Shidu to do anything. He is already very busy on weekdays. It’s better to save some time and take a rest."
"Thank you, Your Highness the Ninth Prince, for your understanding. It's better to have a rest, but..."
Li Xiuran smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty just issued an order to order the subordinates to thoroughly investigate the Changlefang case. No matter who is involved, they will be investigated to the end. The subordinates dare not slacken."
The ninth prince's face was slightly dark. He hinted twice in a row, but was rejected by Li Xiuran. Anger arose in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Some things are investigated too clearly, and they are not good for anyone."
If you get into someone you can't afford to offend, your future will probably be slim, so it's better to be cautious."
Tsk tsk, is it because you won’t win over and change the threat? Li Xiuran looked at him, and suddenly felt a sudden change in his heart and said:
"After drinking order just now, Xiaguan suddenly had inspiration and wrote the first poem. In the time of the tea, Xiaguan said it directly."
Chapter completed!
