Xu Huizu, who was sitting at the head of the table, had his face flushed red from drinking. He began to get drunk with the generals and brag about his military achievements.
Some of the generals were unwilling to be outdone. They even took off their upper bodies, revealing the arrow marks and saber marks on their barrels. They showed off that they were obtained from a certain battle, and then they looked down on their colleagues, their saliva flying wildly.
At this moment, the banquet at the High Duke's Public House was as noisy as a market.
Liu Ahze, Zhan Hui, and the other civil officials turned their heads away when they saw this scene. They simply could not bear to look at it.
A civil official sighed dejectedly and said angrily,""It's an insult to elegance, it's really an insult to elegance! This banquet should be composed of poems to be considered elegant!”
Hearing this, Xu Zengshou's eyes lit up!
Ya, the time to slap his face had come!
He quickly stood up and jumped into the middle of the courtyard, shouting,"Big brother! In this situation, Fourth Brother would like to recite a poem to liven up the mood of his uncles and brothers!”
As soon as these words were said, the entire hall instantly fell silent!
"Ahem…"
All the civil officials spat out wine at the same time, almost choking their lungs out!
The generals and nobles also widened their eyes and said in unison,"What? Longevity and poetry? The wine in the mansion is not poisonous. Why did you drink so much that you became stupid?”
Xu Huizu's face turned black.
His dignified face was suddenly filled with anger. He raised his big hand and ruthlessly slapped Xu Zengshou's head, cursing in disappointment,""You bastard, you really don't learn from the good and learn from the bad!”
"Poem? What poem?"
"A bunch of pedantic scholars can only do such a thing, yet you still want to write a poem. Do you want to throw the face of our Duke Wei Residence?”
"If our ancestor finds out from underground, he will definitely climb up and give you a beating!”
Liu Ahze and the other civil officials were stunned when they heard this.
"Shut up!"
"Duke Wei, how dare you insult us scholars!”
The group of civil officials flew into a rage.
Especially Grand Secretary Liu Ahze, who was so angry that he blew his beard and glared!
After Xu Huizu inherited his title, he became even more of a bastard. He actually called scholars pedantic scholars. He was too much of a bully!
Xu Huizu's alcohol had gotten to his head, and he simply didn't care about this or that. He raised his head and started to scold the civil officials crazily. The people on both sides kept arguing. A good banquet was about to turn into a group fight between civil and military officials.
Fu Youde, Duke of Ying, had a headache from the noise. He could not stand it anymore. He slapped the table and shouted,"Enough!"
"A bunch of important officials in the court actually cursed like a shrew on the street. What a disgrace!”
"You guys are shameless, but we are shameless!”
Fu Youde had a high prestige in the court. Even His Majesty Zhu Yuanzhang had to give him some face. Both sides were silent and sat back down resentfully.
He looked at Xu Zengshou, stroked his beard, and smiled.""Since Nephew wants to compose a poem, just do it. It's also good to let Scholar Liu and the group of scholars see that there are great talents among the descendants of our generals!”
Xu Zengshou became spirited and quickly cupped his hands. He said with a beaming face,""Then I'll embarrass myself!"
Just as he was about to recite the poem, his heart skipped a beat.
He was so engrossed in showing off that he forgot to recite the poem!
However, he did not panic at all. He reached into his pocket and took out Zhu Cian's piece of Xuan paper, opening it slowly.
He puffed out his chest and said loudly without blushing,"Thousands of hammers and thousands of chisels dug out of the deep mountains, and the fire burned as if it was nothing!”
"Don't be afraid of a pink body. You have to leave your innocence in the world!”
After the poem was finished, the entire hall fell silent!
Liu Ahze and the other civil officials had a mocking expression on their faces, but after reciting the incantation, their expressions became dull.
Especially Grand Secretary Liu Aze, his hands trembled in shock, and he forcefully stroked his white beard!
F * ck!
This bastard from the Xu family actually knew how to compose poetry?
And it was such a peerless poem! The dignified Grand Secretary Liu Aze was dumbfounded.
Not only him, Zhan Hui and the other civil officials were also confused.
Xu Huizu was a general, so he couldn't tell if this poem was good or bad. Looking at their dumbfounded expressions, he asked,""Everyone, how is this poem?"
Liu Ah subconsciously said,"Good poem!" It's enough to be passed down through the ages!"
The civil officials behind him could not help but praise,"This poem is powerful. Reading it, it actually described the loyalty of a subject to the country and the integrity of his iron bones!”
After saying that, everyone looked at each other and lowered their heads in shame.
Each and every one of them asked themselves, with their knowledge, even if they racked their brains, they probably wouldn't be able to come up with such a brilliant masterpiece, right?
What a waste of reading the books of sages!
To admit defeat was really to admit defeat to Xu Zengshou!
Fu Youde and the other generals saw their dejected expressions and couldn't help but laugh. They shouted in unison,""Rare, really rare! You bunch of scholars, you've been humiliated by the descendants of my generals!”
"Your Xu family's ancestral grave is smoking!”
Hearing this, Xu Zengshou looked very proud, but he was very grateful to Zhu Ci 'an.
This transaction was worth it, too worth it!
Old Zhu was indeed his brother!
I've always been laughed at by the civil officials for being a boorish man. Today, I've finally gotten my revenge!
I've decided. From now on, Old Zhu will be my half-brother!
Xu Miaojin, who was at the side, saw that his tail was about to reach the sky, and a hint of surprise flashed across her almond-shaped eyes.
His fourth brother, who was always out of tune, had some skills in wielding a knife and a stick, but this poem…
Could it be that he had been possessed by Wenquxing?
At this time, Liu Ah excitedly walked to Xu Zengshou's side and said with a pleasant expression,""Young Duke Xu, can you let me see the true appearance of your poem?”
It couldn't be helped. Once a scholar saw a good poem, it was like a general getting a good weapon. They would definitely study it carefully.
Xu Zengshou wasn't stingy. With a snap, he stuffed the paper into his arms and said,""Haha, Grand Scholar Liu, feel free to watch!”Liu Ah's spirit was lifted, and he immediately looked down at the calligraphy poem in his hand as if he was holding a treasure.
The group of civil officials behind him also scrambled to get closer. The expressions in their eyes were like those of an old man who had been single for most of his life. They were extremely thirsty when they saw a beautiful girl.
Everyone focused their eyes and saw an extremely beautiful handwriting.
The handwriting was thin and strong, but it was extremely thin without losing its flesh. It was extremely extraordinary, and the place where the pen fell showed the aura of an emperor!
Liu Ahze, who had always loved calligraphy and had studied it a lot, couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this word."Good handwriting!"
But soon, his eyes suddenly revealed a suspicious look and he said,"I have to say that no one in this world can surpass the young duke's poem!”
"However, don't blame me for being frank. This poem…was really written by you?”
Zhan Hui and the others came back to their senses, and their faces were filled with suspicion.
They were all a bunch of old foxes who fought with others in the imperial court all day long. After thinking about it, they figured out that something was wrong.
Who in the capital didn't know that Xu Zengshou was a well-known playboy?
It was no exaggeration to say that this fellow could compose poems, and such a peerless poem. That was as ridiculous as an old sow climbing a tree. It was simply a fantasy!
However, upon hearing Liu Ahze's question, Xu Zengshou did not feel guilty at all. Instead, he puffed out his chest and said with conviction,""Of course I did it. How can it be fake?”
Liu Ah stroked his beard slowly and said with a smile,"In that case, can you explain to this old man what kind of writing you used on this paper?”
