All my subjects want to usurp the throne

Chapter 172
However, I clearly remembered the couplet in my hand last night, but he didn't seem to have written it. Could it be that it was written by the fourth brother?

The fourth brother was able to write such a shocking couplet, why did he have to replace it?

There is no reason at all, if the fourth brother is for himself, he will not come here.

There was only chaos in his mind, but Ling Xiao nodded, "Lin Hai, bring this couplet here and let me have a look."

Ling Xiao's eyes were full of appreciation, and Yan Deqiu, who was kneeling on the ground, heaved a sigh of relief and clenched his fists tightly.

If he is selected, he can stay by the emperor's side, but the brotherhood with Zhuo Qing should be broken.

After Ling Xiao read it, he asked Li Dequan to hold it in his hand.

"I have to say, this couplet is pretty good, but I still want to see other things, so I'll wait by the side."

It is rare for the emperor to be satisfied with one, but he has to choose again. For some reason, Lin Hai can only pass on one.

Yan Deqiu let out a sigh of relief, but he was also a little nervous.

What if it wasn't him who was chosen in the end, after all, it was from Zhuo Qing's hands, and the one in Zhuo Qing's hands should be comparable to this one.

"Next, Zhuo Qing!"

Following Master Lin's announcement, Zhuo Qing put away all his previous wild thoughts, and the couplets on the ground had been crumpled by him.

"Yingyingyanyan, flowers, flowers and leaves, Qingqing day and night."

"Great, wonderful."

After Lin Hai finished reading, he couldn't help giving a thumbs up. This talent is too talented.

Unexpectedly, among the children selected by the emperor, one could meet such a talented person, but this year, why didn't they participate in the palace selection?

Such talents are really buried.

With such talent, it is most suitable to stand on the Golden Luan Hall, but at this time, he can only be a book boy next to the emperor.

Ling Xiao sat up pretending to be quite shocked, and quickly took the couplet.

Their eyes were full of admiration, and the other students present smiled wryly.

Unexpectedly, to be able to meet such a powerful person, this couplet is simply a ceiling, and no one else has a better answer.

The compliments from those scholars echoed in his ears, making Yan Deqiu even more nervous.

Ling Xiao stood up. He was waiting for Zhuo Qing, and now he was there. As for the people behind him, he didn't need to look any further.

"Okay, Zhuo Qing and Yan Deqiu stay here, and you don't need to look at the rest."

Although those students were disappointed, they knew that they couldn't compare to these two paintings.

It didn't help to look at it, so they could only leave one after another.

As for Lin Hai, he also breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor had chosen someone, but these two people were not the ones chosen by the two adults.

It seemed that he was in trouble, but he had no choice. The emperor chose it himself.

Today, Lu Fengxian asked Meng Yi for advice, just after he came out of the Nangong Gate, he saw his two brothers, and when he asked Yi Yang Qianxi, there was a fierce look in his eyes.

"I didn't expect that the fourth brother could do such an abominable thing. Among us, the third brother is the one with the highest talent. If the third brother can't be selected, if he misses this opportunity, he won't be there in the future. Why is the fourth brother so cruel? .”

Everyone knows that Zhuo Qing's family is from a businessman, and finally had this opportunity to fulfill his wish, but Yan Deqiu is too hateful.

Of course, when Yi Yangqianxi said it, he didn't say that Ling Xiao was the emperor, and killed him too. This couplet was written by Zhuo Qing.

Looking at these two couplets, and then at these two people, Ling Xiao put the couplets on one left and one on the right.

"To be fair, this last couplet is of course better, but I also want to see if you two are adulterated!"

After Ling Xiao finished speaking, Li Dequan beckoned, and a young eunuch came up, took the four treasures of the study, and waited on one left and one right, and then put down two tables and chairs.

"You two don't need to be nervous. Next, I will make another couplet. If you can match each other and have the same handwriting within a stick of incense, then the outstanding person will win."

Originally, they just wanted Zhuo Qing to have the chance to enter the palace, but since Yan Deqiu interrupted him.

Ling Xiao then conducted an additional test. After all, he was the emperor, and no one else could stop him, so he could only watch.

Lin Hai looked very excited. If Zhuo Qing could write such a good couplet, he must be able to write an even more wonderful one in response to the emperor's question.

Lu Fengxian was a little worried. Although the fourth brother stole the couplet from the third brother, he was his brother after all.

How dare you cheat in front of the emperor and deceive the emperor, if the crime is serious, it will kill you, so I am even more worried.

Just as he was about to step forward to stop him, Yi Yang Qianxi pulled him back, "Okay, don't you know that you are becoming popular? If you go up and say it, you will not only offend the emperor, but even other officials will have to impeach you."

"Didn't you say some time ago that the emperor is wise? Why don't you trust him? Even if he got through before, the emperor let him go. If there is any problem with Yan Deqiu, the emperor will not take his life."

After being analyzed by Yi Yang Qianxi, Lu Fengxian slapped his head. After all, he was a little anxious, and he was not as good as his fifth brother.

"Fifth brother is still smart. I was so anxious, but I forgot that the emperor is the master of the holy name, and he will definitely not punish severely."

Yan Deqiu was so nervous that he could hardly hold the pen in his hand.

Zhuo Qing thought about it carefully, if his own writing could match up, then the fourth brother next to him would lose his head.

At this time, everyone was looking at Ling Xiao eagerly, waiting for him to ask a question. Ling Xiao stood up with a folding fan in his hand.

He walked around to Yi Yang Qianxi and stood beside them, "Listen up."

"The couplet I gave is: Wangjiang Tower, Wangjiang Flow, Wangjiang Tower Downstairs, River Flow, River Tower through the ages, River Flow through the ages."

Such a pair of couplets, even Lin Hai went in, and the emperor made another one with a novel theme, and this couplet, compared to the last one, is even more eye-catching.

But if you want to match up, there must be something related to the two.

Lin Hai shook his head. He couldn't stand this scene even more.

However, the gorgeous Zhuo Qing must have a way.

The reason why Ling Xiao is confident to come out is predictable. With Yan Deqiu's talent and learning, there is absolutely no chance.

As for Zhuo Qing, even if he couldn't do it again, he would be able to match up. At that time, the third brother would definitely win.

As soon as Ling Xiao finished speaking, Li Dequan's couplet was also presented.

Putting it in front of the two, Lin Hai looked left and right, thinking all the time in his mind, but he had no choice but to stand aside.

"Your Majesty, this couplet of yours is even more powerful. If the two of them don't match, what should we do?"

Yi Yang Qianxi knew Ling Xiao's identity, and he usually acted casually, so Lu Fengxian had no doubts.
