Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 604 Zong Ze: Rebellious Poem! This is a rebellious poem! [3rd update, please vote!]

"This one is Zhang Kui, the second disciple of my second brother, and that one is Luo Yanqing, the eldest disciple of my fifth brother!"

As Cai Fu was introducing himself to everyone, Zong Ze suddenly stood up, walked to the center of the room, and bowed deeply to him with a face full of shame.

"Zong Ze has misunderstood Your Majesty. Please forgive him!"

What the hell?

Cai Fu was stunned by his worship, but he quickly realized that the old man must be cursing him in his heart.

If it were someone else, they would just curse in their heart and that would be fine, since no one would know. Why would they come out and apologize?

Zong Ze is no ordinary person; he's someone who can't tolerate any wrongdoing, so he came out to apologize on his own.

Otherwise, he won't be able to sleep tonight...

"Please rise, Elder Zong."

Cai Fu stepped forward and helped Zong Ze up with both hands, showing off his magnanimous heart:

"Elder Zong simply doesn't understand me."

"Time will tell."

"Now that Elder Zong has joined our Qi state as a general, we have a long time to spend together."

"Time will tell, and a person's true character will be revealed..."

Zong Ze couldn't help but repeatedly ponder these two sentences, finding it hard to believe that the King of Qi had said them.

Wasn't the King of Qi originally an executioner?

No, are executioners these days so educated?

"Just a little bit of life experience, nothing to brag about."

Cai Fu smiled and waved his hand, mainly because he couldn't memorize the whole poem, only remembering the two most famous lines...

Just a few minor reflections on life, that's all?

Zong Ze couldn't help but feel a deep sense of respect: "Your Majesty is truly a man of both literary and military talent. I am truly impressed!"

"Where, where..."

Cai Fugang was about to say a few words of modesty when Wu Song couldn't help but praise him:
"What's so special about that? Back then, my eldest brother used couplets to encourage my second brother's disciple, Ruan Xiaoqi, to learn martial arts!"

Clearing his throat, Wu Song recited aloud:

"Where there's a will, there's a way; with a do-or-die spirit, the mighty Qin Pass will ultimately belong to Chu!"

"Those who persevere will be rewarded; with patience and determination, three thousand Yue soldiers can conquer Wu!"

This was an absolute masterpiece that left not only the cultured Zong Ze, but also the uncultured, speechless with astonishment.
Holy crap, that's right!

Unfortunately, even heroes lack culture; all they can do is utter "Holy crap!"

"Seventh brother..."

Cai Fu gave Wu Song a knowing, half-smiling glare. Though he said nothing, his silence spoke volumes.
Well done!

"What Seventh Brother said is nothing. Back then, when Eldest Brother casually wrote a poem called 'Guan Shan Yue' at Li Shishi's brothel!"
“I love it very much, so I specially asked my elder brother to copy the whole poem for me. I study it every day and can recite it from memory!”

Lu Junyi, not to be outdone, recited it on the spot:
"The Treaty of Chanyuan is one hundred years old, yet the general stands idly at the border without fighting."

"The red gates are quiet, with singing and dancing, while the stable horses are fat and dead, and the bowstrings are broken."

"The watchtower's bugle calls the setting moon; I joined the army at thirty, and now my hair is white."

"Who knows the heart of a hero in the flute's melody? The sandy shore reflects only the bones of soldiers."

"War and conflict in the Central Plains have been known since ancient times; how could a rebellious barbarian have passed on his legacy to his descendants?"

"The surviving people endured death hoping for restoration; tonight, tears have fallen in many places."

This song, "Guan Shan Yue," left everyone speechless!
Zong Ze could hardly believe his ears:

"Ah, this, is this really the work of the King?"

Lu Junyi glared at him: "Why would I lie to you?"

"Please forgive me, please forgive me..."

Zong Ze immediately backed down, not out of cowardice, but because he believed Cai Fu was the author. After all, he had just misunderstood Cai Fu; how could such a selfless person as Cai Fu plagiarize poetry?
"The watchtower's bugle urges the setting moon; I joined the army at thirty, and now my hair is white..."

Zong Ze kept repeating these two phrases to himself, and couldn't help but touch his full head of white hair, tears welling up in his eyes...

Wang Jin also deeply resonated with these two sentences. He had become the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards and had hoped to make a difference.

Unexpectedly, Gao Qiu made things difficult for him, leaving him no choice but to leave his hometown and find a place to settle down...

He was not yet thirty when he left Tokyo.

Time flies, and a full ten years have passed.

He was nearing forty, his temples streaked with gray; if it weren't for Cai Fu, he would have continued to waste his youth...

"Second brother..."

Cai Fu smiled and rolled his eyes at Lu Junyi:
Well done!

"Second brother, I think this poem 'Guan Shan Yue' is not as refreshing as the limerick that eldest brother casually wrote!"

Wu Song quickly recited another poem:
"Knife in hand, come with me!"

"Kill Cai Jing and execute Gao Qiu!"

"If there is any injustice in the world, follow me and I will wield my sword to cut off people's heads!"
"When injustice is eradicated, peace will prevail; when the world is at peace, let us drink!"

"it is good--"

The children had never heard of this limerick before, but it resonated with them more than the more literary "Guan Shan Yue"!
Yang Zaixing, Gao Chong, and even Wu Shangzhi and Zhuge Ying all cheered loudly in unison!
Yang Zaixing, Yu Hualong, Luo Yanqing, Wu Shangzhi, and Zhuge Ying were all rebels in the original work, and they felt that Cai Fu's doggerel was exactly what they wanted to hear!

Although Gao Chong and Zhang Kui never rebelled, they had been with Cai Fu for a long time and their thoughts had long been assimilated.

Wang Jin had never rebelled, but upon hearing "to kill Gao Qiu," he couldn't help but cheer loudly.

After wandering for ten years with his elderly mother, far from his hometown, how could Wang Jin not have thought of drawing his sword and killing Gao Qiu?

Only Zong Ze's expression changed:
Anti-poetry!

This is anti-poetry!
In the past, Zong Ze would have definitely been furious, after all, he was a loyal subject of the Song Dynasty, but now his mindset has changed...

Zong Ze thought for a moment: The king is talking about killing Cai Jing and executing Gao Qiu. Both of them are great traitors and should be killed!

Furthermore, this doggerel was written before the king offered amnesty, so some of the rebellious words are quite reasonable and logical!
Furthermore, the king's final goal was "peace throughout the land," indicating that his rebellion was merely a desire for "peace throughout the land," not a genuine attempt to overthrow the court...

Zong Ze mentally made countless excuses for Cai Fu, and sincerely praised him:

"Heroic spirit, passionate and inspiring!"

Cai Fu chuckled and picked up another full bowl of wine:

"Since it is a good poem, let us encourage each other!"
"Go one!"

Everyone quickly picked up their wine bowls and, inspired by the humorous poem, drank them down in one gulp.

Apart from Gao Chong, he was still young and Cai Fu kept a close watch on him, so it was just for show.

Cai Fu was in a good mood today and drank himself into a stupor before Gao Chong carried him back to his room.

Lu Junyi and Wu Song were also drunk and went back to their respective residences to rest, so Gao Chong would be sleeping with them tonight.

Originally, Cai Ya and Li Ping'er wanted to serve the emperor, but Cai Fu was drunk, and Gao Chong, not trusting him, sent them away.

Cai Fu treated Gao Chong like his own son, treating him with all his heart and soul. How could Gao Chong not feel it?

Therefore, Gao Chong, such a peerless general, treated Cai Fu like his own son, taking off his shoes and socks and serving him his washing up.

The father and son slept side by side. Cai Fu slept soundly, and Gao Chong felt very happy sleeping next to him.

Although Gao Chong lost his father at a young age, he did not lack maternal love, but he truly received paternal love from Cai Fu.

Cai Fu fulfilled all his fantasies about his father, and his wild horse was unknowingly put on the reins.

Cai Fu never intended to trap him; it was he who willingly put on the reins and handed them over to Cai Fu.

In the dead of night, Zong Ze, who was also drunk, suddenly woke up and slapped Zong Fang hard across the face:

"I'm so damned good!"
