As soon as the first two sentences came out, everyone at the scene thought that Zhao Zheng was going to praise the banquet, and they all started whispering among themselves.

Li Qi also relaxed a little, thinking that Zhao Zheng had given in.

That's right. After all, Zhao Zheng boarded the ship alone. Even if there is a sword in his hand, so what?

Even if he brings the royal guards, they are all in the city.

Moreover, after Zhao Zheng left the city, Qianshu City had already been taken over by the personal guards assigned by Zhu Liang to take over the city defense.

Even if those Jinyi guards all have extraordinary abilities, they are still human beings, and it is impossible to directly become invisible and then break through the defense line.

Furthermore, so what if they break through the defense line, their ship is now in the middle of Hongze Lake.

And next to the ship is the steam clipper Zhu Liang brought from Guangdong and Guangxi.

So even if they could break through all kinds of impossibilities and get to the ship, with the strength of the guards on the ship, they would be able to drag him to protect Zhu Liang and retreat safely.

Everyone at the banquet lowered their guard.

Zhu Liang didn't know how to appreciate poetry, but when he heard the word "wine fragrance", he knew that Zhao Zheng probably wanted to praise him, so he happily drank two more glasses of wine.

A minister who came from a saint's house was forced to write poems for fun in the end by his own force.

After all, in this world, force is above all else.

Zhu Liang felt happy when he thought of this.

He really didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

After all, all good things are promoted under the protection of force, and so is the same reason for sordidness.

However, he misjudged Zhao Zheng's strength, and also misjudged what kind of existence Zhao Zheng was.

The second half of the poem is here.

despair!

Zhao Zheng held his sword and got closer to the front of the banquet. He could return to his seat within a few steps, and the distance from Zhu Liang was naturally not far away.

He always used poetry to balance everyone's fear of the sword in his hand.

"The shepherds sewing clothes laugh at the winter time."

despair!

"Cattle and sheep are injured again by chewing hay."

As the last words were spoken, Zhao Zheng returned to his seat with his sword in hand. According to common sense, the tasks of the wine and sword in his hands had been completed at this moment, so he should throw them away.

Li Qi took half a step forward, doing the same thing he wanted to do.

But he also made a serious mistake, that is, 90.00% of the people at this banquet were literati.

Even if they become officials, they will not change their previous interests and hobbies as scholars.

So before he opened his mouth to speak, the discussion at the scene directly overwhelmed his voice and shifted the topic to the poem Zhao Zheng had just written.

"There is no moon in the sky and there is no light, but the wine on Hongze Lake is fragrant."

"While the shepherds are sewing and laughing at the winter, the cattle and sheep are injured by chewing hay."

"Mr. Zhao's poem is really artistic. It uses the unclear moonlight on Hongze Lake tonight as a reference, so as to contrast and reveal the aroma from the collision of wine cups at our banquet."

"As for the last two sentences, I didn't understand at first why the first sentence was still on Hongze Lake, and the second sentence jumped to the scene on the grassland."

"After carefully tasting it, I finally understood Master Zhao's mood when he wrote this poem from the shepherd's laughter and the wounds from chewing grass."

The only person who could speak immediately and dared to speak immediately was Zhu Liang, who was at the top of the list.

But Zhu Liang was a warrior. He was allowed to eat, drink, have fun, and lead troops to fight. He was a leader in both, but it was too difficult for him to appreciate poetry.

So only Qianshi was left.

Zhao Zheng nodded after hearing his appreciation, indicating that he understood it correctly.

This made everyone at the scene even more curious about the secret behind Qian Zhisi's betrayal.

"Master Qian, don't be so pretentious and tell us what the profound meaning is in Master Zhao's poems."

Chen Fuyin, who was next to Zhao Zheng, patted Zhao Zheng's ass without leaving any trace.

On the surface, he was just appreciating poetry.

But who can go to the scene and sit and drink, how can he not understand what he means.

Therefore, no matter whether the officials were young or old, whether they were sitting in front or behind, they all quickly echoed his words and begged Qian Shisi to quickly tell him what the pass he was selling was, in order to clear up their inner doubts.

It's as if they are being scratched by dozens of cats in their hearts. If they don't solve their doubts in time, they may not be able to sleep all night long when they go back.

Both people's flattery was caught on camera.

"I don't dare to answer my doubts. I only have some small understandings of my own. If I understand wrongly, I hope you will be generous enough to clear up my doubts, Mr. Zhao."

"Please have fun, Mr. Qian!"

The flowery sedan chair is carried high.

The two people sitting at the top of Zhu Liang's left and right hands began to praise each other.

Zhu Liang, who was on the high platform, was suffering because there was no ink in his stomach. He had pushed Mei Ji out earlier, so now he didn't know what to say.

But he values ​​​​face very much, so at the moment he can only suppress a smile while keeping a dark face, and then nod silently.

"Then I will show my shame to all my colleagues, Lord Zhao, and General Zhu."

"My understanding of the poem Master Zhao just composed is based on comparison."

"The shepherd laughs until the grass hurts. As we all know, when do shepherds usually laugh?"

"It must be how many calves the cattle and sheep have given birth to this year. Or maybe it's the fact that the cattle and sheep have been sold at a good price this year and how much grain they have received in exchange."

"But colleagues, if you only think this is the case, it would be one-sided. Please note that in the second half of the poem Mr. Zhao just composed, there is the word winter behind the shepherd's smile!"

Qian Shisi took the pen and paper that Li Qi had thoughtfully prepared for him, and wrote the poem that Zhao Zheng had just made on it in a few strokes.

Then I first highlighted the word winter in the second half of the poem.

"My colleagues should have noticed it by now!"

After Qian Shisi finished saying this, he circled the word "hurt".

Everyone in the audience nodded at this.

I just don’t know how many people really understand it and how many people pretend to understand it.

Anyway, all the civil servants present understood.

Among the warriors, one of them, Li Qi and Zhu Liang, already understood.

"Colleagues, please don't be impatient. The comparisons in Master Zhao's poem don't end there."

"Our current cruise ship is in Hongze Lake, and Hongze Lake is in the east."
