Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 203 Luo Guanzhong and Gao Qi
The people outside the city were chaotic and it was inconvenient to talk more, so Zhu Su got into the carriage and went to the famous Deyue Tower in Suzhou to catch the wind and wash away the dust.

In Deyue Tower, Wei Guan had already booked a private room, Zhu Su, Chang Mao, and Wei Guan sat as guests and hosts, Gao Qi and Luo Guanzhong joined the accompanying seats.After being courteous, Wei Guan asked: "Just now when I was outside the city, I saw His Highness's demeanor, could it be that he knows Guanzhong?"

"Indeed, I have known you for a long time." Zhu Su replied.

The so-called young people do not read the Water Margin, old people do not read the Three Kingdoms.As a senior Three Kingdoms fan, how could he not know Luo Guanzhong?

From this point of view, this time, I can be considered to have met an idol.

It's just that, unlike the great writers in my impression, this Mr. Luo Guanzhong has a stooped figure and a sad face, just like ordinary farmers who can be seen everywhere on the ridges of the fields. He looks really ordinary and tight.

I thought that the writer who could write such a heroic and powerful masterpiece of the Three Kingdoms must also be a literati who said "I am from Penghao".Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a middle-aged man who had experienced many hardships.

"There is such a thing? Guanzhong's talent name, has it been passed down to Beijing? It has been a long time since I have been friends with His Highness!" Wei looked at Luo Guanzhong, twirling his beard and laughing.

"I'm not talented at the end of my studies, so I dare not accept the words Your Highness has admired for a long time." Hearing Zhu Su mentioning himself, Luo Guanzhong didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately got up: "It's just a blessing to be born at the end of the day, and my humble work is honored to be seen by Your Highness."

"The twelve volumes of "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" were passed on to the world because of His Highness' false love. Thank you, Your Highness!" After finishing speaking, he bowed deeply to Zhu Su.

"Oh! Look, I forgot! His Highness continued to write the story of the Three Kingdoms, so he must have read your first twelve volumes of "Three Kingdoms". Then how could he not know you, Luo Guanzhong?" Wei Guan patted his head. "It's strange that you came here from Hangzhou on purpose and asked me to introduce you."

"I originally thought that you finally thought about it and planned to start a career behind the scenes of Your Highness!"

"Don't dare, dare not." Luo Guanzhong hurriedly bowed. "I wasted my whole life at the end of my studies without accomplishing anything. His Highness is a hundred times more talented than me, and I am qualified to advise His Highness."

"It's just that I spent several years writing the first twelve volumes. For the following chapters, I only have a vague idea in my mind, but I still can't write."

"Your Highness only learned from Heaven, but in just a few months, he wrote the following that Mo Xue had been deliberating for a long time and failed to write. Its highlights are not inferior to the first twelve volumes."

Speaking of this, Luo Guanzhong's expression was excited, and there was no longer the previous submissive attitude on his face.His eyes were even brighter, and he looked directly at Zhu Su with admiration.

After a while, he sighed again. "Sigh. I'm afraid it's an exaggeration to say that. In the volumes written by Your Highness, many of the plots are the same as those I have worked out over the years."

"But I have been thinking hard for several years to get it, but His Highness has no hesitation, and it was achieved in just a few months."

"Sometimes I always have the illusion of late learning, as if I am always living in the shadow of His Highness's talents..."

"Ashamed, ashamed..."

Luo Guanzhong laughed at himself, Zhu Su's face was as thick as a city wall, and at this moment his face was also slightly red.

Conscience of heaven and earth, I really didn't want to copy these three countries at first.

At first, I just told the story of the Three Kingdoms to amuse my sister, but my elder brother Zhu Biao listened to it later, and my elder brother asked for it, so I couldn't help but tell it.

Later, I learned that Luo Guanzhong had already written the Three Kingdoms, so I didn't have any scruples about using it again.Terrific claims are made by accident.But who knew that Luo Guanzhong's Three Kingdoms at this time only wrote the first twelve volumes?

There was no other way, so I had no choice but to pretend to claim the number of subsequent chapters, saying that I was "continuing writing".How could it not be embarrassing to be looked at by the Lord with such eyes now?
A few years from now, after Yang Shen and Tang Bohu are born, won't they also feel that they are living in my shadow... Zhu Su thought with some evil taste.

"Your Highness' talent is truly rare in a hundred years." Gao Qi, who was sitting with him, also said.

"In my opinion, Your Highness is a sign of great prosperity in the literary world of Ming Dynasty!"

"I usually make some crooked words, but compared with His Highness's "Linjiang Immortal" and "Yijianmei", it is really inferior!"

"Qi has no other ambition in this life. I just want to collect all the poems of my Ming Dynasty that are enough to be handed down to the world, and compile them into one magazine, so that the world knows that my Chinese literature still exists. The prosperity of my Ming Dynasty's literary style should not be weaker than that of Tang and Song Dynasties."

"Today I have the audacity to ask the prefect of Wei for a recommendation. I just ask His Highness if there are any poems that have not been handed down to the world. Please read them next time."

After finishing speaking, he stood up and bowed to Zhu Su with sincerity.Even Chang Mao, who was with Wei Guan and Luo Guanzhong, who was eating wine by himself, looked at Zhu Su.

"Uh... Well, when I was in Beijing, I devoted myself to other things and didn't have any new works..." Zhu Su made excuses to evade.

"Is there anything more important than the rejuvenation of my Chinese literary world?" Gao Qi said with a look of disbelief: "With such a poetic talent, how can it be neglected in ordinary affairs?"

"Or, His Highness can sing a few words now..."

Well, this is another poetic idiot.After finally fooling Fang Xiaoru into the direction of philosophy, another Gao Jidi appeared...

Zhu Su looked embarrassed and was about to refuse, but Chang Mao beside him said, "Why don't you give him a sentence from His Highness Fifth?"

"Isn't there a lot of poems chanted along the way? What kind of car, what kind of horse, what kind of spring sleeper..."

"Oh? Your Highness has traveled all the way, is there any good poetry?" Gao Qi's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward.

"Uh, they are all old poems from the ancients..." Zhu Su smiled awkwardly, never expecting that Chang Mao would make up for himself at this time.Looking over with resentful eyes, he saw that Chang Mao had an innocent face, and he was leisurely throwing a grape into his mouth.

"Hehe, Your Highness, don't be angry." Seeing Zhu Su's reluctance, the prefect Wei Guan smiled and smoothed things over. "This person is a literary idiot. He only cares about poetry and articles, but he has no intention of offending His Highness."

"In the past, His Majesty offered kindness to him and wanted to promote him as a member of the household department. However, he refused to resign on the grounds that he was too heavy with mundane tasks to concentrate on reciting poems and writing essays."

"His whole heart is just to revive our Huaxia Wenhua in the chaos of Mengyuan. He is also a bit of a bad name in our Daming Jiangnan. If His Highness has words, say them and dismiss him. With his mouth, soon It is certain that everyone in the south of the Yangtze River knows about it, and it will also let the people in the world know the origin of His Highness's family."

"If not, then it's okay to ignore him. He has a big heart, so he won't hold grudges."

"It turned out to be a high-ranking scholar." Zhu Su was immediately in awe. "Mr. Gao's deeds are a bit like 'I hope I will die of old age and spend wine, and I don't want to bow before chariots and horses'!"

"'I hope that I will die of old age and spend wine, and I don't want to bow before chariots and horses'..." Gao Qi was suddenly startled.Immediately, he slapped the table violently:
"Wonderful, wonderful! Your Highness recited it casually, and it is a peerless poem!"

"Compared with this sentence, the verses I usually write are really only worthy of burning the hearth!"

"Your Highness! I beg Your Highness to tell you the whole poem! If you can't hear it, Qi can hardly survive!"

Gao Qi was extremely excited!
