King Jin didn't need it, but the King Jin who didn't need it was called by someone's name. Li Zhi looked at his mother and stood up helplessly.
Look, I just want to drink with my brothers and sisters, but my mother insists on showing off by myself. I knew what poems I came to write in Tang Dynasty.
"Zhi'er, at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet tonight, all the talents in Chang'an will gather together, and Huang'er will also compose a poem, how about it?"
Take a look, listen to it, you really let yourself compose poetry!The queen mother's words have already been spoken, how could Li Zhi refuse.
You can't say that you can't!
"The queen mother proposes a question!"
Li Zhi was helpless, his mother's words had already been spoken, and he couldn't spoil his mother's happiness.The queen mother let herself get up, in order to put some glory here.
The heart of parents, even at the level of the royal family, is to hope that their children will appear outstanding in front of others, appear outstanding, and be different.
At this time, it was the Tang Dynasty, and poetry was the most valued talent. There was also a special examination of poetry and prose in the imperial examination, and it was extremely important.
Even if the imperial examination is accepted, according to the usual practice, a "admission poem" must be written.
Therefore, the queen mother asked Li Zhi to write poems because she wanted her son to be more brilliant. Li Zhi naturally followed the mother's wishes, and the mother was happy.
Li Zhi looked at Empress Changsun, Empress Changsun thought for a while, and looked at the courtiers who were waiting for the empress to come up with a question.
"The theme is the queen mother, but tonight's moon must be brought."
Li Shimin was right next to his queen, and after hearing what her queen said, he felt that the queen was a bit difficult to treat.
But any propositional poem is already extremely difficult in itself, it is better than a random one, as long as it suits the occasion.
And the queen not only proposes the title, but also the title of the title is herself, that's all, there is also a moon in the poem, which corresponds to the scene of the Mid-Autumn Festival tonight.
Li Shimin believed that he couldn't do it for a while, but in fact, as soon as the queen's words came out, the following people shook their heads.
The question about the queen is really difficult. It is a double proposition. There must be a queen in the poem, but there must also be a moon in the sky. A poem, ordinary five-character or seven-character is only about 20 characters, but it is really difficult to write.
A large group of talented scholars with poetic names in Chang'an could only shake their heads and sigh for a while.The title of His Highness's previous poem is Chang'an, and almost some poetic talents have copied it carefully.
However, after that poem, His Highness never wrote any more poems. At this time, the question about the empress, whether King Jin can complete it.This question is really too difficult. Is the empress too optimistic about His Highness?
However, Empress Changsun stood up slowly and looked at her son.
"Zhier, remember Cao Zijian?"
"The queen mother also wants to cure her son into poetry in seven steps?"
"Can it be done?"
"Try it, Zhier!"
Li Zhi came to the seat, facing the direction of his mother, empress and father. Cao Zijian wrote a poem in seven steps. No one here doesn't know, but the empress made King Jin also write a poem in seven steps. Isn't it too embarrassing for His Royal Highness?
This is not only a poem in seven steps, but also a propositional poem. There must be a double propositional poem in which there is a moon and a goddess in the poem.
At that time, Cao Zijian wrote a poem in seven steps, which has been famous for thousands of years. Your Highness really wants to try it.
Several talented scholars have already shook their heads like rattles. This is really too difficult, so rare that they can't imagine it anymore.
In Li Zhi's heart, he just sighed, it really was his mother who loved to see her son show off so much, and in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the dignitaries of Chang'an, and a large group of romantic scholars invited by his father.
However, Li Zhi really doesn't know much about composing poems, and Li Zhi who recites poems is definitely at the top.
Facing his father and queen mother at this time, Li Zhi had already taken a step, and everyone's hearts followed His Highness's step, as if there was a roar in their minds.
Can Your Highness do it?Everyone present here has already begun to look forward to it, and has begun to silently remember the number of King Jin's steps.
Li Shimin looked at his son. After returning from Luoyang, the third son did let Li Shimin see his growth and his efforts. At this time, he really hoped that his son could do it.
His poem for Miss Wang's family had already amazed Li Shimin. At this time, Li Shimin wanted to see if his son could amaze him again.
King Jin has already taken the second step. At this time, the entire night banquet hall has already been heard. No one dares to speak out at this time. Everyone is looking at King Jin, and the princes and princesses there are even more closely watching. own brother or younger brother.
Princess Changle held Princess Yuzhang's hand, and Princess Yuzhang felt that her sister's hand was tightening.
The little princess looked at her brother, and the son beside her was holding her hand and patting it gently.
The little princess wanted to speak, but then she met her own sister who silenced her voice.
In the third step, some people have already shown disappointed eyes. Although the poem titled Chang'an that His Royal Highness Jin Wang wrote for the future Jin Wangfei, after all, there is only one poem, and it was written in response to the situation.
Tonight, His Highness probably won't be able to write it. No one doubts King Jin's poetic talent, but this level of difficulty is already too difficult.It is a seven-step poem, and it is a seven-step poem with double propositions.
Cao Zijian did it back then, but for so many years, only Cao Zijian had done it, and this one was the head of the seven sons of Jian'an back then, the one who had the only talent and learning in the world.
In the fourth step, Princess Changle who was sitting there couldn't sit still anymore, she got up slowly, and was forced to sit down by Princess Yuzhang.
Li Shimin showed a slight disappointment on his face, not for his son, but just for this matter.
In fact, he really wanted to see that Zhi'er could really write a poem in seven steps. Li Zhi was also his son, and he was a legitimate son. Li Shimin's face is naturally bright.
As an emperor, it is also very face-saving, isn't it.
In the fifth step, the speed and frequency of King Jin's footsteps have not changed. Several people in the crowd shook their heads at this time. It is already the fifth step, and King Jin still has not said a word.
It is too difficult to make a poem in seven steps, and it must be adapted to the situation. There must be a queen in the poem, and there must be a mid-autumn moon.
In the sixth step, most people in the venue couldn't bear to see King Jin fall in seven steps, but they still didn't have a clue.Li Shimin patted his queen's hand lightly, and looked at her with a wry smile.
"You are too difficult to treat."
Empress Changsun smiled slightly and looked at her son.
"Zhi'er will not disappoint His Majesty and this Palace."
What else can Li Shimin say, it's already the sixth step, and Zhi'er still can't say a word at this time.
After all, the seven-step poem is a difficulty that ordinary people dare not think about. Why is Cao Zijian famous throughout the ages? This seven-step poem can add a lot of points to him.
Chapter 394 Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet
Boiled beans are held for soup, and glutinous rice is used as juice.
Osmunda burned under the kettle, and the beans wept in the kettle.
He grew up from the same root, why is it too urgent?
A poem not only kept Wei Wang Cao Pi from killing him, but also became a famous masterpiece through the ages.
Li Zhi's seventh step has already been raised, and as long as the footsteps fall, the seven steps will be over.
There were already several sighs in the field, Li Shimin looked at his queen again, and smiled wryly.
At this time, Empress Changsun only looked at Li Zhi. She believed that what Li Zhi could do, there was no reason why he couldn't.
If Li Zhi knew what his mother was thinking at this time, he would have hugged the eldest grandson queen tightly, and shouted, dear mother!
At this time, most of the people in the field showed disappointment, and some even sighed a few times. Today's seven-step poem must not be completed.
However, everyone is still very restrained at this time. If ordinary people try to make a poem in seven steps and fail, it is estimated that someone will make fun of it, but His Royal Highness Jin Wang is another matter.
There are already talented scholars thinking about how to speak for King Jin, how to explain to everyone that this seven-step double-proposition poem is really difficult.
Just when most people are no longer optimistic about King Jin, Empress Changsun still has trust in her son in her eyes. not come out?
Li Zhi lifted it up in the seventh step, and under the disappointed eyes of everyone smiling wryly and shaking their heads, the first line of the poem had already been uttered slowly.
Yun Xiang's clothes are beautiful, and as soon as this line of poetry is uttered, Empress Changsun naturally knows which poem her son will recite. Li Bai wrote three Qingping tunes for Yang Yuhuan by the Xingqing Pool. At that time, the three Qingping tunes were To replace the old Yuefu lyrics, Li Guinian used these three Qingping tunes at that time.
This poem was written for Yang Yuhuan, so it is appropriate for Zhi'er to use it at this time.
Li Zhi said the first sentence. At this time, all the guests and friends in the audience were already staring at King Jin. At this time, the needle could be heard again, and everyone was afraid of making a little noise, which would disturb His Highness King Jin.
Yun Xiang's clothes are so beautiful,
The spring breeze blows the threshold of Revlon;
If not for Qunyu Mountain, see you,
We will meet each other in Yaotai next month.
Li Zhicheng has a bamboo in his chest, and the four sentences of the seven rhythms have been uttered. At this time, the last seventh step has also fallen, and the poem is completed just after the seven steps are completed.
There was a brief silence in the audience, and everyone was tasting the poem written by King Jin.
The seven steps are just right, this seven-step poem is considered completed, there is a month, there is no doubt about this.
As for the empress, the entire poem does not appear in the current empress, but it seems that the whole poem has 28 characters, and it seems to be about the empress.
While everyone was still savoring the poem carefully, an applause sounded in the silent banquet hall.
It is none other than the current emperor who applauds King Jin's poem.
Li Shimin uttered a good word, and naturally the audience applauded. King Jin's poem is really wonderful, and everyone is naturally convinced at this time.
The King of Jin really did not disappoint everyone. Since the poem written by the King of Jin for the future Princess Jin, today is another masterpiece.
Not only is it a masterpiece, but it is also a poem in seven steps.Tonight's seven-step poem will definitely be passed on tomorrow in Chang'an, and everyone in the city knows it.I don't know how many talented scholars sighed at the poems, and how many beautiful women fell in love with them again.
The Chang'an poetry circle that the King of Jin was about to disturb once again was in turmoil.
There, several princesses and princes had already pulled Li Zhi, and you praised his elder brother or younger brother's poetic talent sentence by sentence. Li Zhi just drank a glass of wine calmly, naturally he didn't pay much attention to the compliments around him.
If it weren't for his mother today, Li Zhi would never stand up, let alone compose poems.
It's because of the limelight, hey, this king really doesn't want to be in the limelight.
At this time, Li Shimin looked excited, his son showed his face in front of so many people, Li Shimin naturally had a bright face, after all, he was his own son.
"After all, it's the queen who believes in Zhi'er more. I just felt that Zhi'er couldn't do it."
"Zhi'er has grown very fast in the past six months. His Majesty is also busy with government affairs, so he doesn't get to spend more time with the children. If His Majesty spends more time with the children, he will know how hard Zhi'er has worked during this time."
Li Shimin sighed, but what the queen said was absolutely right, the time he spent with his children was indeed short.
This is also a helpless thing. After all, as long as the king of a country does not want to be a fool, he usually spends more time on government affairs.
It is true that Li Shimin can't get along with his sons and daughters more. After finishing the government affairs, it is time to rest.
Li Shimin sighed and looked at the queen.
"At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet tonight, I really saw Zhi'er's hard work."
At the end of the banquet, Li Shimin held his queen's hand, and the two of them walked in the palace and passed through the Lizheng Gate, but Empress Changsun deliberately took her husband to Wanchun Hall.
Li Shimin knew his queen's intentions, and followed her into Wanchun Palace, which was the last palace Zhi'er lived in when he left the palace.
"Your Majesty, take a look at that pear tree. After Zhi'er lived in Jinwang Mansion, he came here several times to take care of that pear tree. Your Majesty still remembers the two pears Hengshan gave you, which is this tree. Up."
"This child has been filial since he was a child. When you say it, I still remember what happened six years ago!"
"Your Majesty, let's go over there and have a look!"
Li Shimin naturally followed his wife, and the two went to the bedroom and study room here in Wanchun Hall. At this time, there were still many books in the study room, among which the most historical materials were.
Li Shimin took a few books randomly, and the most conspicuous place was a book of poetry.
"Are these books Zhi'er read when he lived in Wanchun Palace?"
"Well, he left, and I specially asked the maid to stay here."
Li Shimin didn't speak, but stroked the thick spine of Shiji.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember what you assigned last time?"
"The queen is talking about Yinzhuang?"
"Several new stores have been opened in the south of the Yangtze River. At this time, it is very convenient to withdraw money in Suzhou, Hangzhou and Yangzhou. Zhi'er has been doing the things that His Majesty told you. It's very organized, I asked Tang Jian specifically, Tang Shangshu was full of praise for Zhi'er."
"Well, I know what the queen wants. I will take a closer look at these children."
"Your Majesty is now in his prime, so naturally we should take a closer look at these children. The Great Tang Sheji, I think, should be entrusted to the hands of those who can truly make the Great Tang prosperous."
Li Shimin didn't speak, but just stroked the thick spine of Shiji.
At this time, in Li Shimin's mind, he was naturally thinking about the recent actions of the three sons-in-law. In the end, only King Jin satisfied him, the crown prince and King Wei. Thinking about it now, Li Shimin felt a headache.
Not to mention that one opened a brothel, and made it known all over Chang'an, and the other went to brothels regardless of his identity.
Chapter 395
At this time in Jin Wang's mansion, Jin Wang Li Zhi didn't know that his father, queen and mother were wandering around Wanchun Palace, still talking about himself.What's more, at this moment, the royal father has gradually moved the idea of replacing the position of the crown prince.
It doesn't matter whether the King of Jin knows or not, this matter is actually decided by the emperor himself.Of course, the replacement of the crown prince is a major event for the country. Li Chengqian will not make any mistakes, and he will not make any serious mistakes. It is indeed not easy to replace.
At this time, the position of the crown prince involves too many things and people. If I move a little, I will move my whole body. Without making up my mind, this position cannot be easily moved.
