Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

"You agreed to this yourself. I didn't force you!"

Chu Ning looked at Cao Zhi, who was full of excitement, and turned to the Han Emperor Liu Che, bowed and said:

"I would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty to bear witness to this matter, so that some people will not deny their debts."

Liu Che narrowed his eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed across his face: "Under my witness, whoever dares to break the agreement will be offending my great Han Dynasty."

"very good!"

Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned his head and stared at Cao Zhi, sneering: "Do you dare to sign a document?"

"Why don't you dare?"

Without saying a word, Cao Zhi stepped forward, snatched the brush from Chu Ning's hand, and wrote down the conditions on a blank piece of paper.

He was certain that Chu Ning had no literary talent and kept raising the price just to delay time and force him to make concessions.

Soon, he wrote a document and signed his name.

"Take it!"

Chu Ning took the document and took a look at it. He was satisfied and put it away. He smiled and said, "Since I have the document, I won't worry about you going back on your word."

"Next, please watch how I will convince you!"

After he finished speaking, Chu Ning picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and then wrote the first sentence quickly.

Princess Changping was about to go up and read it to everyone, but Cao Zhi took the initiative to step forward and said, "I will read it!"

He just didn't believe that Chu Ning could write poetry, so he came to recite it just to deliberately humiliate Chu Ning.

He stepped forward to take a look, and without thinking too much, he recited directly: "You are forcing people to come here without any freedom, and the momentum of the dragon and the phoenix is hard to stop."

Just from this first sentence, Cao Zhi felt that something was not right.

Everyone who was listening nodded their heads and looked at each other with surprise flashing in their eyes.

Everyone said that Chu Ning was of humble origin and not very talented in writing, but seeing him today, that was not the case.

Could it be that the rumor is wrong?

While everyone was in deep thought, Chu Ning wrote quickly and finished the second sentence.

Princess Changping saw Cao Zhi standing there without saying anything and couldn't help but sneer, "Prince Chen, keep reading."

Cao Zhi came back to his senses and snorted coldly, glared at her fiercely, then looked at the second sentence and read:

"The hall is full of flowers and three thousand guests are drunk, and fourteen states are frost-freezed with one sword!"

As soon as these words came out, Cao Zhi broke out in a cold sweat.

Although the previous one was full of domineering, it was nothing compared to this one...

There's no comparison at all.

He knew without even reading the next two sentences that he had lost.

With just this one sentence, he lost.

At this moment, the ministers around were shocked.

"A hall full of flowers and three thousand drunken guests, isn't this exactly the situation we are in now?"

"This last sentence is really domineering!"

"I never thought that His Royal Highness the King of Chu would have such literary talent. I was just superficial just now."

"Great, great! One sword can freeze fourteen states. What an ambitious ambition!"

For a moment, everyone praised it endlessly.

At this moment, Cao Zhi was dumbfounded. He stood there and didn't speak for a long time.

Princess Changping saw this and stepped forward to look at Chu Ning's last two sentences:

"The drums and horns open the sky and the air becomes cold, the wind and waves shake the sea and mountains in autumn."

"The southeast will always be the golden pillar of heaven, who would envy the marquis of ten thousand households at that time?"

After he finished reading it, the place fell into complete silence.

After a long while, Chu Ning said calmly: "Everyone, what do you think of this poem of mine?"

It was just a simple sentence, but no one at the scene dared to comment.

With poems like these, they are afraid that they will be criticized for making random comments.

Liu Che, sitting at the main seat, saw this and could only smile and say, "The King of Chu is very talented in writing. I'm afraid the title of the most talented scholar in the world will have to be replaced by someone else."

The meaning of this statement is already obvious.

The most talented person was Cao Zhi. Now he wanted to change someone, which meant that Liu Che believed that Chu Ning's poem was better than Cao Zhi's.

Dou Lianyi finally reacted after hearing this, and nodded with a smile: "The King of Chu is really beyond our expectations. He has such literary talent, but he usually keeps it a secret. It's really hard for him to hide it from everyone."

She bet one million silver coins, and if Chu Ning won, she would give instructions.

Now that the situation is under Chu Ning's control, she doesn't mind adding fuel to the fire!

Chu Ning laughed when he heard this: "Grand Empress Dowager, you are too kind. I only write poems when I have nothing to do. Usually I am either practicing martial arts or leading the army to fight."

He glanced at Cao Zhi and continued, "Unlike some people who like to play with words and have no manliness at all!"

How could Cao Zhi tolerate such blatant ridicule?

Although Chu Ning did not mention anyone by name, he knew that Chu Ning was talking about him just by looking at him.

"Why are you so arrogant?"

Cao Zhi stared at Chu Ning, his face full of ferocity as he said, "With your background, it is impossible for you to have such literary talent. This poem was definitely not written by you!"

lose?

It is impossible to admit defeat.

If he lost, not only would he lose his reputation, but he would also lose a city and two million taels of silver.

There is absolutely no way he would admit defeat.

"It seems that King Chen is a man who won't cry until he sees the coffin!"

Chu Ning reached out to stop Ran Ming who wanted to come forward to speak, and said calmly: "Since you don't believe that this was done by me, then I will give you two more!"

"Kill all the Zhao soldiers, the sword on my waist is still bloody!"

"King Chen doesn't recognize a hero, he just keeps asking for my name!"

When this poem came out, the whole audience was shocked again.

The first sentence, full of blood, rushes towards you, making you deeply feel the cruelty of the battlefield.

The second sentence was a mockery of Chen Wang Cao Zhi, who did not recognize Chu Ning's achievements and dared to shout at him.

When everyone was surprised, Princess Changping smiled and said, "Prince Chen, you said that the poem of the King of Chu was not written by him, so what do you have to say about this one?"

"The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of Zhao were destroyed by the army led by the King of Chu. Now you, King Chen, dare to question it."

"Now you have been written into the poem. If this poem gets out, King Chen will surely become a laughing stock for the whole world."

Cao Zhi's face changed drastically, and he finally reacted at this moment.

Chu Ning is digging his own grave!

This damn bastard actually wrote himself into it.

Such a domineering poem, easy to remember, once it spreads, how can he face staying in the State of Wei in the future?

Not to mention the fight for the crown prince, I'm afraid even the title of King Chen will be revoked!

If I had known this would happen, I should have admitted defeat just now.

Cao Zhi became more and more angry the more he thought about it. He was unable to cope with it at all and his face turned pale and blue.

But Chu Ning didn't give him a chance to speak, and said calmly: "Why is King Chen silent? Do you think this song is not enough?"

"Don't worry, I have another one!"

Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and glanced at everyone present. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he slowly said:

"When autumn comes and September th, I will kill the flowers after they bloom."

"The fragrance of incense rises to the sky and permeates Chang'an, and the whole city is covered with golden armor."

Although this poem is not as good as the previous two, it also mentions the Han Dynasty capital Chang'an.

Chu Ning's purpose was simple, he wanted to let everyone know that these poems were written by him.

How could Cao Zhi still argue when both the place names and the names of the people were written in?

Looking at Cao Zhi, who was shocked, Chu Ning raised the corners of his mouth slightly and chuckled, "King Chen, how do you think of these three poems of mine?"

Cao Zhi was stunned.

He never expected that he would be defeated by Chu Ning in the literary competition in which he was most confident.

At this moment, his heart was broken.
