Seeing Zhao Hao agreed, Pang Yuan hurriedly said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Lord Zhao's move must be extraordinary, we are blessed!"
Although he said so, his eyes betrayed his thoughts.
He simply didn't believe that Zhao Hao could really write a classic couplet in such a hurry.
He has also read a lot of Zhao Hao's poems, which are indeed masterpieces handed down from generation to generation.
However, he did not believe that those works were improvisations by Zhao Hao.
No one can write a masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages by improvisation.
Now that Zhao Hao has agreed, he should be able to write it, but it will definitely not be a good work.
Maybe it's of a certain standard, but as long as it's not outstanding, it will be a blow to Zhao Hao's literary reputation.
During this period of time, they actually suffered at the hands of Zhao Hao. Seeing Zhao Hao suffer today, Pang Yuan felt even more comfortable in his heart than having sex with several women at night.
At this moment, Jiang Wan'er said softly, "Zhao Hao, don't blame me for not reminding you. This couplet placed at the gate is a masterpiece that will stand the test of time."
"It is also the face of an academy. If you haven't made up your mind, don't force yourself."
"But if you want to write, you have to write well."
Pang Yuan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, since Lord Zhao Hao dared to agree, he will definitely not let us down!"
As he said this, he looked at Zhao Hao with a smile and said, "Master Zhao Hao, please come in!"
Zhao Hao smiled softly, walked to the side of the gate, reached out and touched it, leaving an empty space for hanging couplets.
His eyes fell on Shang Hen Shui, the chief priest next to him.
"Mr. Shang, you are highly respected. How about you start with a couplet?"
Shang Henshui immediately rolled his eyes at him in annoyance and said, "I haven't said anything the whole time. Why are you trying to touch me, little brat?"
"I don't have such quick wit, so I can't improvise like this."
"You are capable, and you are the dean of the academy, so you should do it yourself."
The subtext is, who made you insist on pretending? His Majesty gave you a way out, but you refused to take it.
You deserve it!
Zhao Hao didn't care. He smiled softly and patted twice in the empty space.
"Okay, I'll try to write a couplet then."
"Go get some pen and ink!"
Shang Henshui saw this and glared at him, "What do you mean, you want to write it directly on it?"
When others heard what Zhao Hao said, they were also surprised.
What the hell, you need to take out the pen and ink?
When Pang Yuan, who was standing by, heard this, he was overjoyed.
OK!
Very good!
Look at you kid, how much trouble you will make today!
What Wenquxing came down to earth?
After today, let’s see if you are still the star of literature!
Soon, Wusong brought the pen and ink. Zhao Hao took it in his hand, dipped it lightly in the ink, and then began to write casually.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the tip of his nose.
As he wrote, Shang Henshui, who was closest to him, read aloud word by word.
"A mountain of books..."
“There is a way…”
“Diligent…”
"For the path..."
As soon as the first couplet came out, Shang Henshui’s eyes widened and he took a deep breath.
Immediately, he shouted loudly.
"good!"
“The path to the mountain of books is through diligence!”
"OK!"
"There is a way to a mountain of knowledge through diligence. This first couplet alone is enough to be passed down through the ages!"
In addition to the excited Shang Henshui, everyone else present was also shocked by this couplet.
A glimmer of light bloomed in Jiang Wan'er's beautiful eyes.
Comparing reading to climbing a mountain, only diligence is the way to reach the top of the mountain.
This comparison is so clever and vivid.
It's incredible that this kid could come up with such a sentence in an instant.
Looking at the ministers again, their expressions changed when they saw this couplet.
They were reluctant to believe that this was an improvisation by Zhao Hao.
Especially Pang Yuan, his expression changed continuously, it was quite exciting.
However, he did have something to say. He took a deep breath, chuckled, and then looked at Zhao Hao and said, "Sir, this couplet is really great."
"You should have prepared a draft in your mind a long time ago, right?"
"Since you already had a script in mind, why did you refuse just now? Sir, that's really wrong. You made us wait for nothing."
Zhao Hao was too lazy to pay attention to this guy. He just glanced at him lightly, dipped the brush in ink, and continued to write the couplet.
“The sea of learning is endless and the journey is hard!”
As soon as these words came out, before Shang Henshui could speak, Jiang Wan'er on the side just shouted "OK".
I only heard her say excitedly: "The path to the mountain of books is made through diligence, and the boat to the boundless sea of learning is made through hard work!"
“This couplet is so well written!”
"In my opinion, this is the best association to encourage learning in ancient and modern times!"
Shang Henshui said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please be wise. Once this couplet is published, all the couplets encouraging learning in ancient and modern times pale in comparison. It is worthy of the title of the first couplet encouraging learning!"
Zhao Hao on the side said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Mr. Shang, please don't say that. I really can't bear it."
As he spoke, he asked Shang Henshui, "Mr. Shang, is there any other place in the academy that is missing couplets?"
"If there is any missing, I'll take this opportunity to write them all down, to save trouble later."
Shang Henshui said, "It seems there are two more places, one is over there in the academy, and the other is an ornamental stone in the middle of the academy."
"I looked a few days ago and it seemed like the couplets weren't even written."
