Lu Yun spoke to Du Ruofu in a smug manner.
"I, wait a minute!"
Du Ruofu was suddenly in a dilemma and felt a little nervous, because he was the prime minister of a barbarian country.
If I really lose to a eunuch today, how will people in the world view me, and how will my own people view me?
He absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen. These people in the Great Zhou were shameless and would not care if they were defeated by a eunuch.
They were all very happy, but I couldn't be like this.
But... this couplet is really too long. It's hard for people to remember it, let alone complete it with neat parallelism!
"you……"
Du Ruofu sighed helplessly, "I can't come up with a couplet, but I think no one in the hall can match it, so I want to ask.
Can you match the person who made this pair?"
He looked at Lu Yun angrily. He really couldn't understand where this guy found such a long pair, and this pair was so difficult.
I'm sure he himself can't figure it out, he's just giving himself a difficult problem, that's for sure!
However, Lu Yun said calmly at this moment, "You're overthinking it. How could I not be able to match this pair?"
"You want to listen, right? Then I'll read it to you."
"Nine out of ten households are poor! We can only scrape together eight ounces and seven cents, six fen, five hao, and four li."
"And he's so indecisive, so vile!"
When this pair came out, people were stunned!
Many ministers present, even Emperor Liang Jing, blinked their eyes, unable to believe that this couplet could be so correct...
It is indeed difficult. It seems that Lu Yun has been tormented for a long time because of this pair!
Unexpectedly, it was actually used in this hall today. Even Du Ruofu was so angry that his face turned pale and he was furious.
What am I?
When someone attacks you, you have no power to fight back at all.
However, at this moment, Lu Yun snorted coldly, "Look at the expression on Lord Du's face, aren't you unconvinced? I know it's really inappropriate for a scholar like you to lose to a eunuch like me."
"But let me give you another pair!"
"If you can answer it, I'll admit defeat. If you can't, then sorry, I'm the winner today."
Du Ruofu was furious and said angrily, "Boy, don't try to scare me here. I'm warning you, I was just momentarily distracted and a little nervous, so I didn't get it right."
"I've adjusted my form now. It'll be easy for me to match you up. I can definitely crush you and let you know how powerful I am!"
Lu Yun nodded. "Okay, since you didn't match the couplet just now, I'll continue with the first line and you continue with the second line. We'll wait and see."
"In the picture, the dragons don't roar, the tigers don't howl. This little barbarian country is ridiculous!"
Unexpectedly, he was able to play a pair of cards in a variety of ways.
None of the ministers present had expected that when Lu Yun came up with the first line of this couplet, he also humiliated the barbarian country opposite.
This also made Du Ruofu's face look very ugly.
He never imagined that a small eunuch would humiliate him like this, and that this eunuch actually had some ability!
It seems that it is reasonable for the emperor of the Great Zhou to use this eunuch, as the other ministers are really useless.
"Okay, okay, Eunuch Lu, your first couplet is indeed very difficult."
“It’s a little difficult for me, but I won’t lose to you. I’m not trying to match you up here!
I only came here to write poetry, but the Prime Minister couldn't stand losing, so he chose to write a couplet with me. Now you come out again, two people against me alone?"
Lu Yun said calmly, "You can't even match this pair? Then you are really a waste, Prime Minister."
"I was scolding you barbarians, but I didn't expect you to have no idea at all."
"Well, I won't be polite."
"On the chessboard, the chariot has no wheels and the horse has no reins. Shout out, General! Beware!"
When these words were spoken, many people present suddenly understood.
The second and third lines of this couplet are indeed quite well-balanced! And they do have a very clever perspective.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Du Ruofu shouted loudly.
"I feel like you're bullying me, bullying me for coming to your side alone!"
"I, the Prime Minister of the Barbarian Kingdom, refuse to accept this! Why don't we continue the poetry competition? I want to see if you can beat me in poetry."
Lu Yun went straight to the point and took out a line of poetry.
“…”
"It must be that the celestial being was intoxicated and smashed the white clouds into pieces!"
When this unrestrained remark was uttered, everyone present exclaimed in amazement, for they felt that this description of snow was too vivid.
It felt like he compared himself to an immortal who, after getting drunk, tore the white clouds in the sky into pieces and turned them into snow.
How domineering, how unrestrained! This is the real poetry. Who can compare with this poem?
Du Ruofu was completely confused at this moment. He had been thinking of using his best skills to crush them with poetry!
In the hall, make these ministers lose their face one by one!
The emperor of the Great Zhou was about to be severely humiliated by himself. He wanted to laugh at the lack of people in the Great Zhou, but he didn't expect that a eunuch would appear in the middle of the process!
The eunuch beat himself half to death.
He was very angry at this moment and didn't know what to do.
"puff……"
Du Ruofu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked very angry and his face was very pale. He was so angry. He was really angry!
I don’t understand why!
He was clearly a eunuch, yet he could write such amazing poems. He was clearly a eunuch, yet he could make couplets as easily as drinking water.
What kind of person is this eunuch who is both civil and martial, and who is willing to give up his own dignity and stay by the emperor's side?
“Okay, okay!”
"Eunuch Lu, I admit defeat. Your poetry is indeed excellent, in my opinion."
"I have only ever been humble enough to submit to a few people in my life. You are the second person I submit to the most."
After saying this, Du Ruofu returned to his seat.
Seeing this scene, Liang Jing was also very happy. He waved his hand and said to Du Ruofu: "Don't worry, Prime Minister. This is just good luck.
Moreover, Eunuch Lu usually enjoys studying these poems and couplets, which is why he is able to compare with you."
"Prime Minister, don't worry too much. He really can't compare to you..."
