"What a wait for the first sound of the new thunder!" Zhu Youzhang raised his glass, "My dear friends, let's drink this cup full."

Zhu Houzhao quietly whispered to Tang Bohu: "Tell me, you are so talented that you are not willing to pour it out. It's just a New Year's poem, so you need to be so soft and hard?"

The ministers smiled, but Lin Jiang, the Minister of Revenue, looked increasingly embarrassed. Although he did not slap his face, he could feel the scorching pain.

Qi Shen, the Minister of Rites sitting next to the Minister of Revenue, told Lin Jiang not to speak anymore, and then said with a smile: "Tang Qianhu's talent is considered a talented man. Why did a good scholar become the military officer of the Jinyiwei? What a pity!"

"Yes, it's a pity." Feng Qi, the Minister of Justice, also nodded and echoed Tang Bohu's face.

Qi Chan, Minister of Personnel, continued: "I have a distant relative in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and Tang Qianhu's talent is well-known in Jiangnan."

"Is that so? Why don't I know?" Zhu Youzhang said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Jiangnan is hundreds of miles away from the capital, and we have not known it before this." Qi Chan, the Minister of Rites, continued: "I heard that Tang Qianhu's pair skills are also first-class!"

"The talent and knowledge of the lower officials are not good at learning, so they should not be praised by the adults." Tang Bohu lowered his head and said.

"Tang Qianhu is too humble." Qi Shen, Minister of Rites, said: "I heard that Tang Yin's name was widely circulated in Jiangnan, and the hundreds of scholars who were alone in the Qinhuai painting boat were speechless."

Wang Zaijin, the Minister of War, smiled and cursed: "Tang Qianhu has such skills, and it is not kind to hide it all the time! Why don't you let me wait and see it openly?"

"Okay!" said Qi Shen, Minister of Rites: "I will come and write the first couplet."

Tang Bohu was about to refuse, but the other party rushed to challenge him and swallowed half of the sentence in his throat. He didn't know how to say it.

"The lakes and mountains on all sides are back to their eyes!" said Qi Shen, Minister of Rites: "This couplet is the first couplet made by me when I was studying. Please ask Lord Tang to write the second couplet."

Sitting with everyone's eyes staring at Tang Bohu, Zhu Youzhang also looked at the other person with a deep meaning.

After thinking for a little while, Tang Bohu felt that the first couplet was so familiar, and seemed to have heard it somewhere. Then he spoke to the second couplet: "The whole family is so worried and happy."

As soon as Tang Bohu's second couplet came out, Li Dongyang put down his teacup and sat in his seat, closed his eyes and rested.

Seeing Li Dongyang's actions, Liu Jian sat aside with confidence.

"The lakes and mountains on all sides are worried and happy to all families, and they are in their hearts." Zhu Youzhang nodded and commented: "It's wonderful, it's really wonderful!"

"Your Majesty is a reward!" Tang Bohu answered very well.

"I have another couplet!" said Qi Shen, the Minister of Personnel, said: "Cook new tea with the river water!"

"Buy green mountains as a painting screen!" Tang Bohu said, shaking his fan.

The ministers looked at each other, rightly so fast! It seemed like they had never thought it was just a word, and it was very correct. Such urgent wisdom was really amazing. Perhaps it was a coincidence, and the ministers were also waiting for Qi Chan's reaction.

Qi Shen said again: "Looking at the Twenty-Four Histories by Fighting Wine!"

"The incense of the furnace is quiet against the Thirteen Sutras."

Feng Qi, the Minister of Justice, said: "It's right."

Qi Shen was a little surprised and asked again, "The white horse is blocked by the west wind!"

"Apricot flowers are misty and rain in the south of the Yangtze River." Tang Bohu replied lazily, shaking his fan.

Qi Gan seemed to be more vigorous, "Qiongda is all about external affairs."

"The rise and fall will not change the old friendship!" Tang Bohu answered like a stream.

Qi Chan: "It looks like a flower but not a painting!"

Tang Bohu: "Is it over?"

...

"Cough cough cough cough cough!" Liu Jian, who was sitting on the side, suddenly coughed violently.

This sentence made everyone feel a little silenced. Lin Jiang's hand holding the teacup was trembling, and he felt like he kicked the iron plate.

I remembered that when Tang Bohu first came to the capital, he was able to curse people with poetry on the cultural station and was so perfect. Tang Bohu's talent is really evil!

Tang Bohu sniffed in a sniff. I was born hundreds of years later than you! Let me be the same as me? Don’t underestimate the foundation of China for five thousand years. I was born in a modern civilization in the past life. Let’s be the same? You have not seen the legendary sharp joke.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Zhu Youzhang gave He Ding a look at the East Factory Admiral who was on the side afterwards.

He Ding slapped his palms when he received his eyes, and the palace maids stepped forward to serve wine and food to the ministers.

Seeing that the wine and food came, the ministers were not saying anything. The literary fight between Tang Bohu and Minister of Revenue Lin Jiang was like no more than a raw person, and they were eating wine and food on their own.

After three hours of the banquet, Zhu Youting's face showed a drunken blush. The ministers took the excuse of being unable to drink as a pretext to quit the wine, and Zhu Youting also announced the end of the banquet.

After everyone bowed and said, Tang Bohu walked in the corner of the crowd. Zhu Houzhao stepped forward and whispered to Tang Bohu: "Fortunately, my father didn't ask you to perform the trick of putting someone in a box with a knife."

"Yes!" Tang Bohu breathed happily.

Zhu Houzhao endured her sleepiness: "I will go back to the East Palace first."

"Great send to the prince." Tang Bohu bid farewell to Zhu Houzhao.

Walking out of the Forbidden City, the Minister of War Wang Zaijin said to Tang Bohu: "Our official admires the talent of Lord Tang, and Lin Jiang, the Minister of Revenue. The old man said something that never stops talking. I hope Tang Qianhu will not care."

Listening to the way Wang Zai Jin spoke, he didn't look like a person who said to himself a Jinyiwei Qianhu as the Minister of War. Logically speaking, the Jinyiwei belongs to the supervision department. The Minister of War is in charge of the military power of the Ming Dynasty and the transfer of troops. Tang Bohu has no real power, so from the perspective of official positions, Wang Zai Jin's official position is more than one higher than Tang Bohu's official position, and his power is even more different.

But the other party's attitude obviously put his value very low, and Tang Bohu looked at him in surprise. Could it be that this guy wants to cling to him now?

A Minister of War. The Minister of the Six Ministers of the Court belonged to the leader of the civil service group.

Tang Bohu was a little nervous when such a guy wanted to get close to him. Was this guy for some other purpose?

Tang Bohu continued: "Mr. Wang is not saying this. The subordinates are just talented and knowledgeable. How can they compare with the wisdom of the Minister of Revenue Lin? The way to govern the country is to know nothing about family, state, tax, and subordinates. You are just a job...

"Tang Qianhu is saying," Wang Zaijin said again: "But I see that Lin Jiang, the Minister of Revenue, is an elder. It is not a way for the elders to force new ministers so aggressively.

"It is appropriate for elders to educate juniors. Lin Jiang, the Minister of Revenue, has been working hard for many years in the Ming Dynasty. There is no exaggeration to guide me as a newcomer. Lord Lin Jiang has also worked hard and the subordinates understand."
