The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

Chapter 284: Wang Huanzhi, who is arrogant because of his talent, has the talent to be a prime minis

"Look, that handsome young man riding a war horse must be the King of Zhenguo, right?" Ye Feng caused a sensation as soon as he arrived in Qinghe County with an army of tens of thousands.

"This emperor of our Song Dynasty is extremely talented. He wrote both "Liangzhou Ci" and "Ding Fengbo". It is not an exaggeration to call them masterpieces that will be remembered for ages."

"This state guardian is my idol. He can decide the fate of the world with his pen, and he can pacify the world with his horse. It is said that he personally led 5,000 cavalrymen to recapture the 18 cities of Yanyun. He is very impressive."

"I didn't expect that he would come to our Nanjun so soon to inspect the Great Song Dynasty on behalf of His Majesty. I wonder if he is willing to participate in the literary event?"

Many scholars and ordinary people stood on both sides of the streets in Qinghe County, looking at Ye Feng with curiosity and awe.

In the Qinghe County government office, there was an old man with gray hair. He was the Qinghe County Magistrate, Gu Qing. He had just finished his lunch when he saw a yamen runner quickly run up to him and said breathlessly, "Mr. Magistrate, the troops to protect the emperor are now in our Qinghe County."

"What? Lord Zhen Guo Ye Feng?"

Gu Qing's eyes widened, he quickly stood up and said, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and lead the way. I want to go visit Lord Zhenguojun."

When he heard the three words "Zhen Guojun", he did not dare to be careless at all. He had heard that Zheng Guojun had killed countless officials along the way.

Of course, he was upright and did not worry about the butcher knife of the King of Zhenguo. However, there were too many people coming to Qinghe County from outside recently, and they were a mixed crowd. If anything offended the King of Zhenguo, he would be punished with death.

……

On the east gate wall of Qinghe County, a scholar in a tattered white robe was sitting on the wall of Qinghe County with a pot of wine in his hand, his feet hanging outside the wall. He was drinking and laughing, saying, "I've heard that Nanjun is a holy land for scholars in the Song Dynasty, but now it seems nothing special. A mere couplet has been hanging for three days, and still no one can match it."

"This man is too arrogant. If he really has the ability, he should go to the literary event and compete with others. Why would he show off his abilities in Qinghe County?"

"That's right. We can't match your couplet. We don't believe that those great scholars of the Su family can't match it. Sooner or later, we will deal with you."

"Don't be too arrogant. It's not a good thing to imitate others and be arrogant at a young age."

Obviously, the action of the white-robed scholar sitting on the city wall of Qinghe County made many scholars in Qinghe County very dissatisfied, and they pointed fingers and scolded him one after another.

Only the scholar in white robe didn't mind at all. He drank and said with a smile: "I don't like to show off my ability with words. If you are really capable, come up with a couplet and I will give you ten taels of gold."

"Mr. County Magistrate, something terrible has happened. Zhenguojun's troops are heading towards the south gate, and that drunkard is still on the city wall!" As Gu Qing walked out of the county government office, he heard the bailiffs quickly come to him and report.

Gu Qing's face changed drastically. He knew that arrogant drunkard very well. If he offended the King of Zhenguo, he, a small county magistrate, would not be able to bear the consequences.

"Quickly call everyone to follow me to get him down. He is sitting on the city wall. If the king of the state passes under him, it will be a capital crime."

Gu Qing did not dare to be careless. He ordered his servants to rush to the east gate and saw many scholars gathered there.

He looked up at the calligraphy hanging on the city wall, his face became particularly ugly. Even he had to admit that the calligraphy of this drunkard was magnificent and of high attainments. It read, "One year, two springs, two Augusts, two springs and autumns in the world."

The most important thing is that the first line of this couplet is obviously extremely difficult to match, and it requires rhyme and symmetry between the front and back lines, and this first line also appears majestic.

"My dear friend, please leave the city wall quickly. The King of Zhenguo will soon pass through here." Gu Qing came to the east gate, raised his head, and shouted to the scholar in white robe.

When the white-robed scholar on the city wall heard the three words "Zhenguojun", his eyes were filled with a strong light. While drinking, he said: "I came to Nanjun just to wait for Zhenguojun. He came at the right time. I will wait for him here."

"How about you come down from the city wall and wait for the king?"

Gu Qing looked a little ugly.

But the scholar in white robe ignored his words.

"What should we do, sir? The troops that are guarding the state will soon be here." A yamen runner looked at the white-robed scholar who was unmoved and said anxiously.

"There's no time to worry about so many things right now. Take a few brothers with you, climb up the city wall and drive him down." Gu Qing immediately gave the order to the bailiff.

"As ordered!"

When several yamen runners heard Gu Qing's order, they quickly ran up to the city wall and came to the white-robed scholar, saying, "If you don't want to drink the toast and want to drink the penalty wine, don't blame us for being rude."

"You guys have to think carefully. I am the future prime minister of the Song Dynasty. Do you dare to attack me?" the white-robed scholar said loudly.

"Haha! Prime Minister? You're just a drunkard, get out of here."

Upon hearing this, several yamen runners could not help but laugh, and they rushed towards the white-robed scholar's residence and grabbed him away.

Bang bang!

Who would have thought that the white-robed scholar would raise his lips slightly, with a look of disdain on his face, and said, "Go away and tell Gu Qing not to bother me. I haven't even finished my couplet yet."

Before the yamen runners could even touch the white-robed scholar, they were swept away by a gust of wind and fell heavily toward the bottom of the city wall, crying for their parents.

Gu Qing's face changed drastically. He never expected that the drunkard in white robe on the city wall would be so difficult to deal with. Then he saw a large number of cavalrymen riding on war horses coming not far away. His heart skipped a beat.

Ye Feng led his soldiers through Qinghe County and all the way to the East Gate.

"Qinghe County Magistrate Gu Qing pays a visit to the Lord of the State. I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar. I hope you will forgive me!"

Gu Qing didn't care about the white-robed scholar on the city wall, and quickly ran to the front of Zhenguojun and knelt down.

"There is no need to be so polite, Magistrate Gu. I do not want to alarm the officials along the way."

Ye Feng raised his hand slightly towards Gu Qing, rode on his warhorse, and walked towards the east gate without paying any attention to Gu Qing.

"Magistrate Gu, why are there people sitting on the city wall? Are you letting the King of Zhenguo pass through underneath?" Su Hong followed Ye Feng closely. When he looked up, he saw someone sitting on the city gate. His expression suddenly became a little ugly, and he scolded Gu Qing who had caught up with him.

"Oh! I have no other choice. He has been in Qinghe County for three days and has been claiming that no one can match his couplets, so he won't leave."

Gu Qing's face was full of bitterness. Naturally, he knew Su Hong, so he quickly reported it.

"Humph! It's just a couplet!"

Su Hong snorted coldly. In his opinion, the easiest thing was to write couplets. As long as the parallelism was neat and the meaning rhymed, it would be fine. He immediately rode his warhorse and rushed forward quickly.

When he came to the outside of the east gate and saw the couplet hanging there, the contempt on his face disappeared completely and he looked embarrassed. Wang Changhao beside him also frowned.
