Xu Shuhan glanced at Ning Chen with his eyes slanted, then leaned over to Song Tiancheng and said: "Please forgive me, Regent. I have been immersed in the sea of books for decades. If I discuss books with a teenager, I will not be suspected of bullying the weak." Before the Regent could speak, Li Hongzhuo jumped out first, "Mr. Xu, don't underestimate me. Lord Ning is talented and eloquent. He may not be worse than you?" Ning Chen glanced at Li Hongzhuo coldly. This grandson was not speaking for him, but fanning the flames, wanting to see him make a fool of himself. The regent laughed, "Mr. Xu, did you hear that? I'm not afraid at all." Xu Shuhan bowed, "Then I'd rather obey your order than be respectful!" "Okay, okay... Today, the two poets Wuguo and Daxuan discussed books, which will surely become a good story in the future." The regent looked at Ning Chen with a smile, "My Lord, let me and the civil and military officials in the court appreciate your style." Li Hongzhuo smiled sinisterly, "My Lord is talented, I believe he will not avoid fighting and weaken my Daxuan's reputation." Ning Chen looked at him, "How about you come?"
Li Hongzhuo's expression froze, "My Lord, you are joking. Whether I have the title of poet or not, how dare I show off my ugliness?" "Since you don't dare, shut up and get out of the way... Don't affect my performance!" Li Hongzhuo's face suddenly darkened. Ning Chen didn't even look at him, his eyes fell on Xu Shuhan, "At such an old age, with dirt almost covering his eyebrows, it's rare to still be so greedy for fame!" Xu Shuhan's old face was gloomy, "The Marquis has a great reputation, but he speaks foul language, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed?" Ning Chen sneered, "Ning has never said that he is a shitty writer, let alone a poet? In fact, I am just a vulgar warrior. Before I greet your mother, tell me how to play?" Xu Shuhan was trembling with anger. He had read Ning Chen's poems, and every sentence was a masterpiece of the ages. But Ning Chen's rudeness made him doubt whether those poems were written by Ning Chen? A few days ago, the regent summoned him and asked him to slap Ning Chen in the face with poems in the court, making him lose his reputation and become a laughing stock. At that time, he was dumbfounded. He wrote poems all his life, but they were not as good as Ning Chen's one. I'm afraid that it won't be a slap in the face of Ning Chen, but a humiliation. But the regent had a plan. He found almost all the famous scholars in Wu State, who were all masters of literature. They worked together and spent more than ten days to finally polish out a masterpiece. Xu Shuhan said coldly, "You are so young and rude. I really doubt whether those poems are from you? Maybe they are plagiarized." Ning Chen smiled and said, "You are really a worm in my stomach. You even guessed this... Yes, those poems are indeed free from others." The civil and military officials of Wu State were in an uproar! This? ? ?
Is it true? They couldn't be sure whether Ning Chen was serious or said it on purpose? Xu Shuhan's eyes were sinister, "You dare to admit it, you are also courageous... I have said that those eternal masterpieces, how can you, a young man, write them?" Ning Chen couldn't help laughing. "Then do you know who I got those poems from for free?" Xu Shuhan's eyes lit up, "Who?" Ning Chen said seriously: "Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Wang Anshi, Tao Yuanming... There are too many, I won't tell you one by one." The civil and military officials of Wu State looked at each other. Who are these people? Never heard of them? But Ning Chen looked serious and didn't seem to be lying. I must send someone to investigate and find these people... Let Ning Chen lose his reputation and ruin his reputation. Xu Shuhan's old face was gloomy. He has been immersed in the sea of books for decades. He has read the masterpieces of great scholars from all over the world, but this is the first time he has heard these names. Ning Chen must be teasing him. He made up these names. Xu Shuhan said coldly, "Are your poems plagiarized from others or written by yourself? I will know after a try." Ning Chen looked playful, "How do you play?" Xu Shuhan pointed to the red pillar behind Ning Chen, "From here to that pillar, it's almost ten steps... Ten steps to a poem, do you dare?" Ning Chen almost laughed out loud. Ten steps to a poem? This is what Cao Pi left behind. The officials of Wu State were in an uproar. Ten steps to a poem, how is it possible? But seeing Xu Shuhan's confident look, they couldn't help but gloat over his misfortune. Ning Chen represents Daxuan. Ning Chen's embarrassment means Daxuan's embarrassment...They are happy to see Daxuan lose face. Shen Min and Pan Yucheng were worried. Ten steps to a poem, it's really too difficult. Only Li Hongzhuo had a sinister smile on his face. If Ning Chen lost, he, the Great Xuan Poet, would become a huge joke. He would lose face for the Great Xuan and would definitely be reprimanded by His Majesty when he returned. Ning Chen shrugged and looked at Xu Shuhan, "If you are willing to die, I am willing to be buried... There must be a topic for this poem, right? What is the topic?" Xu Shuhan said, "My Lord, you must have experienced the great scenery of my Wu Kingdom along the way... Let's take the prosperous beauty of my Wu Kingdom as the topic?" Ning Chen thought for a while, "Poetry is not difficult, let's write lyrics?"
Writing lyrics is much more difficult than writing poetry. Poetry only requires mastering the relationship between level and oblique tones. As for the lyrics, you have to take care of the rise and fall of the rhythm, and you also have to consider the details of open and closed accents... You also have to divide it into five tones, five tones, six rhythms, clear and voicing, etc., which is very torturous. But these are not difficult for Ning Chen, free prostitution makes him happy! Xu Shuhan's expression suddenly froze, and everyone was dumbfounded. They, a group of famous scholars, pondered for a long time before writing a satisfactory poem... Now you tell me that I want to write lyrics, how can this be done? "No, no, no...Mr. Xu is a famous scholar and a poet in the Wu Kingdom. Could he be afraid?" Ning Chen started to feel strange. Xu Shuhan's face turned red from holding back. If it were anyone else, he would naturally not care... But he was facing Ning Chen. Even though he was knowledgeable, he did not dare to compete with him without preparation. But what about everyone looking at him? If you don't agree, where will you put your face? He will definitely become the laughing stock of everyone in the future, and his reputation will be ruined in one day. The regent frowned, he didn't expect Ning Chen to make this request? He thought for a while and said: "Since both of you are revered as poetry immortals, you should make friends with poetry... let's compare it later, right?" Li Hongzhuo couldn't control his words anymore and echoed: "Yes, yes... Since you are a poet, you should compare poems." Ning Chen looked at him coldly, "Master Li, are you an official of Daxuan or Wu Kingdom? Why do your elbows always turn outwards?" "Those who don't know better would think that you are colluding with the regent of Wu State and planning to collaborate with the enemy and treason?" Li Hongzhuo's old face turned pale for a while. Collaboration with the enemy and treason was a major crime against the nine tribes. Once he was labeled as such, he would die miserably. "Master Hou, this is too serious. Am I just saying something fair?" Ning Chen's face darkened, "This peace negotiation is mainly about me. I'm going to hold back your bullshit fair words. You have no right to speak here. Do you hear me clearly?"
