Chapter 338: The Last Match
This time Jingyi ended in a draw. It is estimated that the two sides persuaded each other, or neither of them convinced the other.
However, even so, Zhao Daru's ability to draw with Zhao State in terms of classics and righteousness is already a major event in the history of Chu State.
After all, in terms of Wen Dao, especially Jing Yi, Zhao Guo has always been the leader among the Three Kingdoms. Zhou Guo and Chu Guo have always been difficult opponents to Zhao Guo in this way.
Zhao Daru and the old man turned around and stood facing each other, then cupped hands to each other at the same time, and got up.
Jiang Xiang and Qin Xiang quickly supported Zhao Daru.
Royal Study Room
Qin Xiang and Jiang Xiang supported Zhao Daru to sit down.
The Emperor of Chu looked at Zhao Daru and said, "Teacher has worked hard in this battle."
Zhao Daru coughed weakly twice, and then sighed: "The old minister is ashamed of His Majesty, after all, he failed to win against the classics and righteousness. Unexpectedly, the old minister's strength in his whole life is still a thread behind, and he can only fight with Zhao Guo. It's a tie."
The Emperor of Chu said: "The Grand Tutor's ability to end in a draw with Zhao Guo is already a great contribution to our Great Chu."
Zhao Daru, sitting on a chair, at this time, like an ordinary old man, said slowly: "The biggest wish of the old minister was to see that my Dachu's writing can surpass Zhao Guoyi and stand on the top of the Central Plains. It is also the lifelong pursuit of the old minister, looking at it now, this wish is probably..."
The Emperor Chu looked at Zhao Taifu, his lips trembled, and he could not help clenching his hands in his sleeves: "My Great Chu has a prosperous medical practice, and the Taifu will surely live a long life, and I will also let the Taifu see that one day , I, Da Chu, will stand at the top of this literary world."
Taifu Zhao shook his head, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about the old minister, who is dying. I'm afraid the old minister's body won't wait until that time."
Then he patted Qin Xiang and Jiang Xiang: "If one day, my great Chu Wendao can really surpass Zhao Guo, you two will come to my grave and talk to me. In this way, the old man will die in peace." .”
At this moment, Eunuch Wei walked in and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the county uncle of Anding has already brought him here, and is waiting outside the hall."
Emperor Chu said: "Tell me."
Afterwards, Xu Qing walked in from outside the Imperial Study Room.
Then Xu Qing bowed and said: "I have seen Your Majesty, I have seen the Taifu, I have seen Jiang Xiang and Qin Xiang."
Emperor Chu looked at it and said, "Pingshen."
When Zhao Daru saw Xu Qing, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face: "At the beginning, thanks to Mr. Xu's words, I woke up the stubborn old man, so that the old man would not make a big mistake."
Xu Qing cupped his hands and said: "It's just a superficial opinion, the Grand Tutor is flattering you."
Zhao Daru smiled and said: "The master is the teacher, sir, you are humble."
The Emperor Chu on the side smiled and said: "Teacher, this kid Xu Qing can't help boasting, his tail can go up to the sky when you boast so much."
Afterwards, the Emperor Chu looked at Xu Qing and said, "Xu Qing, poetry and poetry are the last competition between my Great Chu and Zhao Guo. This time, my great Chu's hope rests entirely on you alone."
Xu Qing cupped hands and said: "The minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's entrustment."
Zhao Daru looked at Xu Qing and said: "I have read several poems that Mr. Xu wrote when he was in Yongzhou. I am afraid that Mr. Xu's poems are unmatched in my great Chu. Whether Great Chu can beat Zhao Guo in poetry or not depends entirely on Mr. Xu."
Xu Qing cupped hands towards Zhao Daru again and said: "I will not disappoint the Grand Tutor."
...
Due to physical reasons, Zhao Daru had to bid farewell and leave in advance with the support of Qin Xiang and Jiang Xiang.
After Zhao Daru left, the Emperor of Chu looked at Xu Qing and said, "Teacher has worked hard for Da Chu all his life, and his greatest wish in this life is that Da Chu can surpass Zhao Guo in terms of literature and morals. You must have seen it too. The Taifu's body is afraid that it is really about to run out of fuel, but even so, he is supporting his sick body to challenge Zhao Guo on the basis of the classics and righteousness."
"This competition with Zhao Guo may be the last one the Taifu will see in his lifetime, and he has entrusted his lifelong wish. Although he lost one of the two competitions and drew the other, if he can win Victory over Zhao Guoye with poems can be regarded as finally fulfilling the wish of the Tai Tuo, I believe in your talent, this time, you have to give full play to it."
Xu Qing cupped hands and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely not lose."
Emperor Chu: "If you lose, I will really marry Miss Qiao from the east of the city to you."
Xu Qing: "..."
next day
Today, two of the three contests with Zhao Guo have been conducted.
Chess and classics.
The last scene with Zhao Guo was together with poetry.
Welcome War Practitioner as Xu Qing!
This time is also the last match between Chu State and Zhao State.
Xiao Ruxue, who had been playing backgammon with Su Qian and fighting beast chess with Xuan'er at home, dragged Xu Qing over. Zheng Wan'er, who had been training at home for many days, came with him.
It's just that Zheng Wan'er at this time is a little more charming than the last time she went to Taoyuan.
Princess Mingyue and the naive deputy envoy of Zhao State both came to the Great Hall, and sat beside the woman, watching the final contest between Chu State and Zhao State.
Of course, there is also the deputy envoy of Zhou Guo who looks so stupid.
The deputy envoys of the two countries, one is naive and the other is stupid.
What is the difference between stupid and stupid?
Stupid is stupid and cute, and stupid is really stupid.
Besides, Zhao Guo's deputy envoy is not only simple but also seductive.
From Xu Qing's point of view, Long Bing'er has always been a playful and silly girl.
Just when the competition was about to start, Zhao Daru was also helped into the Great Hall slowly, and many officials saluted one after another.
Zhao Daru paid so much attention to this last match with Zhao Guo that he even came to watch the battle even though he was sick.
...
Poetry is different from chess and scriptures. Generally, poems in competitions are two wins in three games, or three wins in five games.
Because of the way of chess and the classics, it may take a day or a few days.
The contestants may not have the energy to prepare for the second or third round.
But poetry is different, impromptu poetry sometimes only needs a cup of tea and a stick of incense time, and with the thoughts of the contestants diverging, it doesn't mean that they can't win the next game if they can't win.
Among the many competitions, poetry is also the one with the most variables.
The topic of this competition is determined by lottery. There have been dozens of signatures in this kind of lottery for many years. Over the years, the contents of the lottery for the three countries have been the same. It depends on how the two sides play.
It can be said to be quite fair.
After the two countries of Chu and Zhao jointly verified the lottery, the people who competed with each other can be seated.
Although Zhao Guo's team looked older than Xu Qing, they were young people after all, and had never sent an old man to fight like the previous two games.
Together with poetry, especially improvisation, the thoughts of young people are still more active and agile than those of older people. Years of accumulation are not as important as classics, but luck and temporary inspiration are more important.
Finally, after shaking the lottery tube several times, the first lottery was drawn out.
Jiang Xiang said, "The first round topic: Autumn!"
