Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 483 The Hardest Day in the World Is to Have Nothing to Do Today

"Oh my god, Liu Caoxie must have been a professional chess player before he was selected to enter the game. Otherwise, how could he reach this level in just one year? This is too much. When I was learning chess, I studied for three years and still wasn't even half as good as Liu Caoxie. No, not even one-tenth of his ability."

"That's not right. There are only a few professional chess players in our country. If he really registered as a professional chess player, he would have been recognized by others long ago. He can't be a professional chess player."

"Upstairs, your words have enlightened me. Why are Liu Caoxie, Cao Zhonger and Sun Menghu never recognized by people in the real world? Even if they don't have friends, they can't have no family or anything, right?"

"Could it be that after they entered the game, all our memories of them were deleted?"

"Don't tell me, don't tell me. After you said that, I looked at Liu Caoxie again. Why do I feel that he looks more and more like someone from our company? Hiss, the more I look at him, the more he looks like someone from our company."

"Okay, man, you are not going to get this huge amount of traffic. Someone has done this before, claiming that someone in the game is his or her own thing, hoping to make a living on the Internet. However, when the relevant departments intervened, they found out that it was fake. After a few people were fooled, no one did this anymore."

It is New Year inside the live broadcast room, and it is also New Year outside the live broadcast room. The traffic in the live broadcast room has become more, as it is the Spring Festival, and many people who are usually busy at work and tired from work finally have time to watch the live broadcast.

In the live broadcast room, Xi Zhicai, who was originally playing chess with Gu Rubing, was replaced by Fa Zheng, who had just arrived. Gu Rubing still took the first move, and there was no guessing who would go first.

After more than two hundred moves, Gu Rubing was defeated. This time, he only lost to Fa Zheng by half a point.

Next, Liu Ye finally defeated Gu Rubing after 300 moves, when the chessboard was almost full, but he also only won by half a point.

Gu Rubing smiled and clapped his hands, then pointed at them lightly.

"You all give in to me and don't even dare to win more. I won't play with you anymore. You guys are making fun of me one by one."

After these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed, and finally Zhuge Liang spoke.

"My lord, it's not that I don't dare to beat you, but your current chess skills are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even if I go all out, I can only guarantee to beat you, but I can't guarantee a big win. Given time, I'm sure you will be able to beat me easily."

It was not until this time that Gu Rubing looked at the few people with astonishment.

"Are you serious? You didn't give in to me?"

"of course."

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, and the others also nodded solemnly. Gu Rubing looked at his hands in disbelief, then looked at the chessboard.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that I actually have a talent for Go."

Hearing this, the others also laughed.

Gu Rubing looked around and saw that most of them had arrived, so he stood up.

"Now that everyone is awake, let's go see the snow together. Auspicious snow means a good harvest, and it will also be a good start for the coming year."

As Gu Rubing stood up, everyone else stood up as well. Gu Rubing was in front, followed by Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu, and the others quickly followed suit.

"The plum blossoms in my mansion's plum garden bloom beautifully every year. Today is New Year's Eve, and we just happened to encounter this rare heavy snow. The snow weighs down the branches, and the red plum blossoms are shining brightly."

The plum blossom garden in Prince Lie's Palace was built when Gu Rubing was the governor of Qingzhou. The plum blossoms bloom beautifully every year. Gu Rubing has been influenced by the culture of two lifetimes. He is particularly curious about the plum blossoms in the snow, which have been praised by poets of all dynasties. He never had the opportunity to see this beautiful scenery before, but now he finally has some free time, so he naturally cannot miss this opportunity.

"My lord, not only has your chess skills improved, but your literary talent has also improved."

Fa Zheng was not serious for once and took the initiative to tease Gu Rubing, who shook his head in pretended anger.

"You guys, how can you joke with the lord?"

The group chatted and laughed as they arrived at the Plum Garden of Prince Lie's Palace.

The fragrance of plum blossoms was particularly fresh in the cold wind, and the white petals were covered with a thin layer of snow, red and white, beautiful beyond words. Gu Rubing took a deep breath, and a fresh cool air flowed into his body through his nasal cavity, instantly dispersing the warmth that had just been built up in the house.

"The plum blossom stands proudly against the snow and frost, and is worthy of being one of the three friends of winter."

Gu Rubing sighed and said that in his three lifetimes, this was the first time he had seen such a beautiful scenery. Now he thought about how he had to work overtime 996 for work, and even when he went home for the Spring Festival, he had to always pay attention to emails and calls from his superiors. He had never had such an enjoyment.

"My Lord, you are right. The plum blossom is to the snow as a gentleman is to adversity. The colder the weather, the more noble he is."

Zhuge Liang said softly, extending his feather fan outside the eaves, catching a few snowflakes, and then waving them away.

Guan Yu remained silent, just quietly admiring the beauty of the plum blossoms. His eyes revealed his admiration for this indomitable spirit.

"My Lord, look at these plum blossoms. Do you want to recite a poem?"

Fa Zheng suggested, and coupled with what Fa Zheng had just said to tease Gu Rubing, the people around them all laughed in unison.

Gu Rubing smiled slightly. Although he had been a human for three lifetimes, he had never studied poetry or songs. In his first two lifetimes, he had been a working oxen and horses. How could he have the leisure and elegance? After this lifetime, he kept fighting. It was only after Zhuge Liang came under his command that he had some time to learn Go.

However, the fact that he has not done research does not mean that the sages in history have not done research. The great dynasty after the Three Kingdoms was the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty produced the two most powerful poets in history, the Poet Saint Du Fu and the Poet Immortal Li Bai. Apart from these two great poets, the poems written by other great poets would be enough for him to use for a long time.

I can't compose poems, but they can. At this time, Gu Rubing just wanted to look up and shout that the nine-year compulsory education was really great, otherwise he might not be able to memorize so many Tang and Song poems.

"Indeed, we should compose a few poems, but I can't do it alone. That would be boring. If you all agree with me, why don't we all write a poem and see who writes the best poem. I will reward you generously then."

"My Lord, this is a very good saying. The white snow and red plum blossoms, composing poems and appreciating the scenery, are the best match for today's New Year's atmosphere."

Zhuge Liang also nodded in praise. After all, at a time like this, it would be great for everyone to compose some poetry.

"Xiaozhi, you have to be the first one to come. This is what you proposed. If you don't set an example first, then we won't continue."

Gu Rubing then spoke and immediately put the blame on Fa Zheng, who also laughed.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you, my lord. I'll start by throwing out some ideas to stimulate discussion."

After Fa Zheng finished speaking, he lowered his head in thought for a while, then suddenly looked up and said.

"The snow weighs down the branches, but they are not touching the mud. When the sun rises, they are still as high as the sky."

After reciting the poem, everyone praised it highly. Xiaozhi's poem not only depicts the scene of plum blossoms in the snow, but also has profound meaning, expressing the spirit of perseverance and noble self-discipline.

"Okay, good. What about next? Who's next?"

Gu Rubing took the lead in applauding. Although the generals were not familiar with poetry, most of them understood the rules of speech and artistic conception, and could tell that this poem was good.

Guan Yu pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful. "The fragrance of plum blossoms does not diminish in the cold branches, and the fragrance becomes even more pronounced when the snow weighs on the branches. When spring comes, the flowers will fall, and the garden will be filled with pure air."

Guan Yu's poem not only depicts the purity of plum blossoms, but also expresses his anticipation for spring and his yearning for a better life. Everyone was moved after listening to it.

"Yunchang's poems, although simple, are full of profound meaning. They are really admirable." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"Haha, I'm just a rough guy, how can I compare to you." Guan Yu waved his hand modestly.

"Zi Yang, why don't you sing a song too?" Gu Rubing looked at Liu Ye.

Liu Ye pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly. Although he was not good at poetry, he had thousands of words he wanted to express in his heart.

"The red plum blossoms stand proudly in the snow. I do not envy the beauty of peaches and plums in the spring breeze, but I only wish that my heart will be stronger in the cold winter."

Although Liu Ye's poem is simple, it also expresses his respect for plum blossoms and praise for their tenacity. After listening to it, everyone responded with warm applause.

"Zi Yang's poems, although not gorgeous, are straightforward and make people feel the same," Zhuge Liang said approvingly.

"Good poem, good poem!" Other generals also echoed.

"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I will also sing a song." Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan lightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly chanted:
"The plum blossoms are proud and reflect the snow, showing their beauty alone in the cold. Their skin is as pure as ice and bones, and their hearts are as strong as iron. They are still smiling when the wind blows away the remaining clouds, and the snow weighs down their branches to make them more beautiful. When spring comes, hundreds of flowers will compete for beauty, but I am the only one who is so beautiful."

"The Prime Minister's poem is so full of gems that it makes people savor it endlessly." Gu Rubing praised. This seven-character regulated verse by Zhuge Liang can be said to have directly killed the competition, but unfortunately, Gu Rubing still had a big trick up his sleeve.

"Thank you for the compliment, my lord. It was just something I did on impulse." Zhuge Liang smiled modestly, then looked at Gu Rubing.

"My lord, it's your turn now."

Gu Rubing also nodded.

"Since you have all done such a good job, why don't I, who is somewhat literate, finish the job?"

After saying that, Gu Rubing began to search for poems about plum blossoms and snow scenes in his mind. At this moment, a poem by a big shot suddenly appeared in his mind.

"There are several plum blossoms in the corner, and Ling Han is blooming alone. I know it's not snow from a distance, because there is a faint fragrance."

This is a poem about plum blossoms written by Wang Anshi, a great poet in the Song Dynasty. It fits the mood of today perfectly and is perfect for use.

"The rhythm and rhythm are all in it. The combination of snow and plum blossoms is just right for today's snow appreciation and fragrance. It seems that what the lord just said was a bit modest."

Zhuge Liang said with a smile while waving his feather fan, and others also began to praise him.

"My Lord, do you think we should judge these poems and see whose poem is the best?"

Fa Zheng suddenly suggested, Gu Rubing nodded, and then pointed at Lu Su in the crowd.

"Zijing, come here. You didn't participate in the poem, so it's fairest for you to judge it."

Lu Su stepped forward, smiled, and said seriously: "Each of your poems has its own merits, and it is hard to tell who is better. Today we are here to appreciate the plum blossoms and write poems, which is a happy thing. Why do we have to judge who is better?"

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, and Lu Su put his hands behind his back and continued speaking.

"If I were to rank them, my Lord's poem would definitely be the best. The second best would be our Prime Minister. As for the others, they would tie for third."

Lu Su's serious expression and frivolous words instantly made everyone laugh.

Amidst the laughter, Gu Rubing gently waved his hand and scolded with a smile.

"Zi Jing, you are the only one who is fair. I will punish you by asking you to write a poem on the theme of plum blossoms. As for the ranking, you will also be ranked third."

Lu Su smiled and continued, "My lord, you have wronged Zi Jing. Today's gathering is indeed an elegant one, and everyone's talents are worthy of praise. However, since my lord has proposed it, I will dare to try and write a poem on the theme of plum blossoms to liven up the atmosphere."

When everyone heard this, they all looked towards Lu Su, expecting his poem. Lu Su pondered for a moment, then chanted:

"Sparse shadows slant across the shallow water, and faint fragrance floats in the moonlight at dusk. It does not compete with peach and plum blossoms for spring beauty, but stands alone in the cold wind and snow."

After the poem was finished, everyone praised it highly, and Gu Rubing also said with a smile.

"Hahaha, it looks like the poem I wrote is the finale for you."

"My lord, you are joking. Zi Jing is at best just an ending for you all. How can he be called the axis? Didn't my lord say before that whoever does the best will be rewarded handsomely? Now it seems that my lord can only reward himself."

Lu Su's words made everyone laugh again. Lu Su's words were perfect in seconds. They livened up the atmosphere and returned the title of first place to Gu Rubing.

"Since we, the scholars who are somewhat literate, have composed poems to liven up the atmosphere, Yunchang, you military commanders should not be left behind."

Gu Rubing looked at Guan Yu and said.

"You agree, right? Yide? Zilong?"

"Since you have said so, there is no reason for me to refuse. While the snow is heavy, I will dance with the sword to cheer you up."

Guan Yu gathered his beard and smiled brightly. Zhang Fei beside him also hurried forward.

"Hehe, I can't write poetry, but I'm good at martial arts. After Second Brother finishes, I'll show you some Zhangba Snake Spear to liven up the fun for you all."

"Hahahaha, great! Second and third brothers, let's go to the martial arts arena and bring some New Year's food to the soldiers there."

"Thanks to my lord, I can see General Guan dancing with a sword and General Zhang dancing with a spear."

"It is also a blessing."

A group of people rushed from the Plum Garden to the martial arts arena. On the way to the martial arts arena, Gu Rubing saw Cai Wenji who was watching the snow in the pavilion in the backyard with some maids. Cai Wenji had her back to the door and did not notice Gu Rubing. A maid saw Gu Rubing and wanted to remind Cai Wenji, but Gu Rubing waved his hand to interrupt her and did not disturb them from watching the snow.

As the group marched toward the martial arts arena, a thought occurred to Gu Rubing.

The hardest thing in the world is to have nothing to do today.
