Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 287 The Second Apprenticeship

At this moment, Li Gang and Kong Yingda looked at Li Fu with eager eyes, completely immersed in admiration and admiration for Li Fu.

However, Li Fu did not take the compliments of the two great Confucian scholars seriously. "Actually, for this first couplet, you don't need to focus only on flatness and five elements. You can also find other ways, such as 'Zhi Gong Jue and Shang' is also very good."

"Huh? Zhi Gongjue and Shang? This is..." The two old men were confused by Li Fu's second couplet, and they couldn't see this second couplet at all.

They can understand the five elements against the five elements, but this couplet has nothing to do with the five elements at all, and it's not even right. Why does Li Fu say that they can match each other?
Seeing the blank faces of the two little old men, Li Fu laughed loudly and said, "The two masters have a picture, haven't they discovered the pattern? I'll explain it to you!"

"The normal order of the five elements, I think the two of you know that it is gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The smoke lock pond willow corresponds to an abnormal order. According to the order of Arabic numerals, that is the order of 41352, which is fire, gold, water, wood, and earth."

"Presumably the two masters know the order of the five tones. It should be Gongshangjiao Huiyu, and the lonely decree Gongjue and Shang correspond to the five tones. Isn't it also 41352? It is Huigong Jiaoyushang."

"In terms of mediocrity, Yansuo Pond Liu is mediocre and mediocre, and the deeds of meritorious officials and merchants are mediocre and mediocre. So, does the lower couplet just now match up with the first couplet?"

After Li Fu's explanation, the two little old men were completely dumbfounded. The five elements matched the five tones, and the flat and flat tones were reversed to match the pairs.

"It turns out that it can still be like this. This is too unbelievable. The prince is a great talent. We really are..."

"It really cannot be expressed in words. His Royal Highness is truly a Wenqu star. In this world, only the reincarnation of Confucius is the only one who can compete with His Royal Highness."

"I really didn't expect that the first couplet that bothered me for so long would actually come out like this. It's because I'm so inexperienced that I made His Highness the Prince laugh!"

The two little old men were completely convinced of Li Fu, and wished they could pay homage to Li Fu. The theory they just heard was really shocking, completely overturning their previous knowledge.

"Then dare to ask His Highness the Crown Prince, is there a good line for the last line?" Kong Yingda was still thinking about the last line.

In fact, during the days that troubled Kong Yingda, Li Fu's last couplet was the one that made him forget about food and drink. He always felt that there was something wrong with this couplet, but he couldn't tell what the problem was, so he was very concerned about Li Fu's next couplet. Said, full of anticipation.

Li Gang also asked eagerly: "Yes, His Royal Highness, is there a good answer to your sentence of being lonely and widowed?"

Li Fu waved his hand, shook his head and smiled: "Didn't the two masters see that in the court that day, because the barbarian was too arrogant, he deliberately said this couplet, but in fact, this couplet is not intentional. written."

"The complete Shanglian should actually be, living in Hakka, lonely and widowed."

Um?Li Gang and Kong Yingda's eyes widened. Li Fu added three more words to the original, still with the same radical, but both the artistic conception and the difficulty have risen to a higher level than before.

Of course, in this way, Kong Yingda's conjecture was confirmed, but the problem was that Kong Yingda was completely desperate. He thought that the completed Shanglian would be better than before, but it turned out that he might never think about it in his life. Out.

"His Royal Highness is talented!" Kong Yingda shook his head and sighed, and bowed to Li Fu, "Originally there was only a seven-character Shanglian, and I racked my brains to find a way, but now the full version of the eleven-character Shanglian, really It made the old man completely helpless!"

"Isn't this obvious!" Li Gang could see it, "How could it be so easy to match the upper couplet issued by His Royal Highness, Your Highness, you should hurry up and say the second couplet!"

Li Fu smiled lightly, "Actually, this couplet is also simple, listen up, drifting on the coast, clearing the light wine is full of water!"

"What? This..." Li Gang listened to the second couplet and thought about it carefully. Although he thought it was neat, he always felt that something was wrong.

Kong Yingda chanted carefully, suddenly realized, clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Miao, what the prince is right, is really wonderful!"

"The last sentence is living in the Hakka, lonely and cold, empty and widowed. , Neat not to mention, the artistic conception is even better!"

"Oh, that's how it is!" Li Gang heard Kong Yingda's explanation, and his eyes widened for a while, "It turns out that it is the same as what His Highness the Crown Prince said before. I just listened so carefully, but I didn't see it!"

"I don't have any clue about these couplets while I'm waiting here, but in front of His Highness the Crown Prince, they are as simple as strolling in a garden. I bow to you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, please accept my worship!"

Saying that, Li Gang and Kong Yingda bowed to Li Funa. They were really impressed by Li Fu's talent!
"It's absolutely impossible, both of you please hurry up!" Li Fu hurriedly stopped the two old men, "You don't have to praise Gu like this, Gu also picks up the wisdom of others, and occasionally has a quick wit."

"However, there is a sentence that I will give to you two alone. When you are studying, you should not only read and understand, but also apply what you have learned. When you use it, you should have a broader vision. If you blindly read dead books, you will not know how to adapt. , then no matter how many books you read, it may be useless in the end.”

Li Fu's words were like enlightenment, making Kong Yingda and Li Gang's eyes sparkle. They were nearly 150 years old together. At this moment, they actually felt that they were like children in front of Li Fu, and they were suddenly ashamed.

Li Fu hadn't finished his words yet, "In fact, it's not too difficult to use the sentence "lonely and lonely" in the last couplet, "lonely and cold, windowless and widowed" to the second couplet alone, such as 'the handsome beauty is lonely', 'the magnanimous treasure kiln allows the family to settle down' 'You can actually wait."

As Li Fu uttered two more lines one after another, Li Gang and Kong Yingda were in a bad mood. They thought that this time they really lost face, and looked at Li Fu's eyes again.

They didn't even dare to say that Li Fu bullied others. They thought about it for several days, but they didn't have any idea at all.

On the other hand, Li Fu was lucky, he casually uttered several couplets, and each one was neater and more artistic than the other, which hit the two old masters badly.

After thinking about it, the two little old men knelt down for Li Fu again, and their kneeling happened to be seen by Li Shimin who came in.

Li Shimin came here in a hurry when he got a report from Li Junxian and knew that Li Fu had come to Chongwen Hall.

As a result, I didn't expect to see Li Gang and Kong Yingda as soon as I entered the door. These two great scholars in the world actually knelt down to their son.

"Hey, why are you two gentlemen? Prince, why don't you quickly help the two gentlemen!" Li Shimin thought that Li Fu was using power to suppress others, so he scolded Li Fu, but in the next scene, he was directly given Totally confused.

"His Royal Highness, please accept me as your apprentice!" Kong Yingda and Li Gang kowtowed to Li Fu after saying that.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin's jaw was almost dislocated, so what's going on?
