This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 541 Methods
field center.

When Master Sun heard that Wen Ruyan agreed, a gleam of joy appeared on his face.

He saluted Wen Ruyan respectfully again, and said, "The minister will start."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked directly at Wen Ruyan and said, "Hungry chicken steals rice boy and beats it!"

As soon as he posted this couplet, the expressions on the faces of everyone present became slightly solemn.

Is it true that Mr. Sun is playing as soon as he comes up?Don't need to pave the way?
I saw that all the civil servants were frowning at that time, thinking hard about the next couplet.

"No, no, this doesn't rhyme."

"I'm not neat either."

"It's a bit difficult."

Just when everyone was frowning and discussing, Wen Ruyan said with a smile, "Shushu Liangliang coughed and startled."

As soon as he released this couplet, he heard someone slap his thigh vigorously and shouted loudly: "Okay!"

The person sitting next to him really strangled his heart: "You are so excited, but can you pat your thigh!"

Mr. Sun was stunned for a moment. In fact, he never expected His Highness Prince Jing to give such a neat second line in such a short period of time.

I saw him take a deep breath, and continued: "The moon is full and the moon is waning, the moon is waning and the moon is full, every year, every year, every evening, every night, the sun can only be seen at the end of the night."

Wen Ruyan stood on the high platform with his hands behind his back, walking back and forth, and after a while, he heard him say directly: "Flowers bloom and fall, flowers fall and flowers bloom, summer, summer, autumn and autumn, summer and summer are cool and cool, spring comes after severe winter."

There were bursts of gasping sounds in the hall.

To be honest, when these two pairs came out, most civil servants were already convinced.

To say that this pair is difficult, it is actually not too difficult. If you give them some time, they will naturally be able to make a very neat second line.

But what is the problem?The problem is that His Royal Highness Prince Jing can give such a rhyming and neat second line in such a short period of time. How can it not be shocking with such talent?
In fact, it wasn't them who were the most shocked, but Master Sun standing in the middle of the field.

I guessed right from Wen Ruyan, he did stand up on purpose at the behest of Emperor Zhou, in order to let His Royal Highness King Jing show his talent in front of everyone.

Therefore, he didn't dare to make these two upper lines too difficult, because he was afraid that His Royal Highness Prince Jing would not be right, and he would self-defeating the things arranged by His Majesty. It's just that the upper line was not too difficult, but he was right. Is that an understatement too?
In this way, wouldn't it appear that he is not good enough in front of everyone?

Thinking of this point, Master Sun took another deep breath, and said directly: "An inch of land is a temple, and there is a poem beside the temple, and the poem says: The bright moon sends the monk back to the ancient temple."

Wen Ruyan frowned, and walked back and forth again.

All the civil and military officials in the audience also thought about the second couplet at the same time, falling behind Wen Ruyan twice in a row, which also made them feel a little uncomfortable.

But before they thought about it carefully, they heard Wen Ruyan on the stage say: "Two trees are a forest, under the forest there is a ban, and the cloud is forbidden: it takes time for an ax to enter the forest."

As soon as he uttered the next couplet, a trace of helplessness appeared on the faces of everyone present.

Still behind.
But in desperation, everyone was convinced.

No wonder he was able to write such a masterpiece through the ages as "The Story of Yueyang Tower"...

Master Sun also smiled wryly, then bowed directly to Wen Ruyan, and said, "Your Highness is a genius, I admire you!"

Wen Ruyan cupped his hands towards him, and then sat down slowly.

In fact, at this time, even Zhou Tianzi and Wen Ruyu showed a hint of surprise on their faces. Zhao and Sun were indeed arranged by them in advance. They didn't tell Wen Ruyan, but they wanted to see how capable this kid was. , but in the end they realized that they still underestimated this kid.

Seeing that the audience has become a little quiet at the moment, and most of the civil servants' faces have already shown a trace of sadness, Zhou Tianzi had no choice but to raise his glass again, and said to the audience with a smile: "Come, come, dear friends, continue to drink. , keep drinking!"

The civil servants also raised their glasses, but the moment the wine was drunk, it made them feel a little bitter.

After a while, Prime Minister Su Dinghe suddenly stood up.

Everyone looked at him with surprise on their faces, wondering what the prime minister was planning to do.

Zhou Tianzi looked at Su Dinghe, and asked with a smile: "What does Su Aiqing want to say?"

Su Dinghe bowed his head and saluted, and then said: "His Royal Highness is so talented, I really admire him. I am thinking, since His Highness is so talented, I wonder if there is any good strategy for governing the country? Thinking about my years of wars, the treasury has long been unable to make ends meet. Mr. Lin, Minister of the Household Department, complained to his ministers all day long, and he was extremely helpless, but he couldn't think of any good plan. In this hall tonight, I would like to ask His Royal Highness King Jing boldly. I don't know what you can do about this matter. view?"

Wen Ruyan was startled, then shook her head helplessly.

Well, one after another, here we go again!
However, Wen Ruyu had already greeted him about this matter in advance, and he didn't know how to speak, but now that the prime minister stood up and asked, it gave him a perfect step.

Wen Ruyan pretended to be thinking hard for a long time, then stood up and said, "This king really thought of a way."

Su Dinghe was overjoyed at that time, and asked directly: "I wonder if Your Highness has any good strategies?"

Wen Ruyan said directly: "Nowadays, the national treasury is in short supply, which is inseparable from the taxation of the world. I wonder if what this king is saying is right?"

Su Dinghe nodded and said, "Exactly."

Wen Ruyan lowered his head and looked around the audience, and then said: "This king has traveled abroad for a while, but what he saw and heard made him feel chilling."

Hearing his words, everyone's eyes immediately focused on him.

When the emperor bestowed the marriage back then, Wen Ruyan escaped from the marriage and returned after traveling for a long time. Everyone present knew this.

It's just that they don't know what His Highness Prince Jing saw outside?It can make him feel cold.

Wen Ruyan paused for a moment, then continued to speak: "I looked at several states in the north, and there are millions of hectares of fertile land, but after I came back, I read the records of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and found that the taxes paid by each state to the treasury every year are far lower than normal. Quantity, what's tricky about it, I don't think I need to talk too much, right?"

As soon as he said this, the faces of some officials in the audience changed.

But Wen Ruyan didn't care about them, but continued: "The group of gentry and rich people deliberately lied about the land area. They clearly had [-] mu of fertile land, but they said it was only [-] mu. They planted [-] mu of land and handed over [-] mu of land. In this way, if the tax is not up to the standard, how can the national treasury not be short of money?"

Su Dinghe smiled wryly and said: "This kind of thing cannot be avoided in all dynasties. Even though we know the tricks in it, we have no way to solve it."

Wen Ru's words were not surprising and said endlessly.

"If this king says, this king has a way to solve this problem?"
