Pa!
Li Shi Min slammed the table in front of him, and his rage rose by two points." King of Hejian! What a good son you raised! He actually dared to spout nonsense in the main hall and tease the princess. That was one thing, but he didn't even know how to compose a poem. What the hell was he! His flattery was useless! You're even inferior to a child slave!"
Zhi Nu was Li Zhi's nickname. He was only seven years old this year.
" Your Majesty," Li Chongyi quibbled," first of all, I didn't tease the princess. I was just praising the princess. Is it wrong to praise someone?" If that's the case, wouldn't my father be wrong to say that Your Majesty is the greatest emperor in history?”
Li Shi Min said disdainfully,"Don't quibble with me. Your father is right, but you are wrong!" Don't you like to praise people? Alright, I'll fulfill your wish! Now, praise everyone in the hall. If everyone is satisfied, I will pardon you. If everyone is not satisfied, I will immediately send you to guard the border!”
"Your Majesty, this is unfair…"
"You want to talk about fairness with me? Alright, then I'll give you justice. I can give you more time, just an hour! Moreover, you have to write a poem to praise it!"
"Alright, an hour it is! It seems that I can no longer hide my talent!”Li Chongyi took a deep breath and walked to the opposite side of Empress Zhangsun. After pretending to be in deep thought for a moment, he said slowly,""The clouds think of clothes and flowers, and the spring breeze blows the threshold and reveals its brilliance. If not for the group of jade mountains to see, will meet under the moon to Yaotai.”
The few people in the hall were not very talented in poetry, but they still had the basic ability to appreciate it.
As soon as Li Chongyi's poem was out, the hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone was pondering over the meaning of the poem.
"Good!" Li Xiaogong clapped his hands happily." As expected of my son. This poem is well written!”
Chai Shao also said,"I don't know much about poetry. I only feel that this poem is very compatible with the Empress."”
When it was Wei Zheng's turn, he finally gave a formal comment." This poem is ingenious and comes easily without showing any signs of being artificial. The words in the poem were rich and colorful. Reading this poem, it was as if the spring breeze was full of paper, the flowers were full of eyes, the human face was blurred, and there was no need to portray it. Peony was the king of flowers. It was perfect to use peony as a metaphor for the queen.”
Li Shimin also felt that this poem was indeed well written, but he did not believe that this was the standard that Li Chongyi could achieve." Be honest, which book did you read this poem from?”
Li Chongyi did not answer, but asked Empress Zhangsun,""Empress, have I passed your test?”
Empress Zhangsun was extremely satisfied with this poem and said with a smile,""Since everyone has agreed, then you've passed. However, there are still quite a few people in this hall. You have to be careful.”
"Thank you, Empress. I will not disappoint you!”Li Chongyi laughed secretly in his heart. This was a poem written by Li Bai to praise Noble Consort Yang. It would be strange if it didn't pass!
Empress Zhangsun felt that something was wrong when she heard Li Chongyi's words. She could not help but roll her eyes at Li Chongyi.
At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji smiled." I'll be the second. I'd like to see how you praise me."”
Li Chongyi, who already had a draft in his mind, said casually,"The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the firm knows the honest minister. Brave men know what is right, and wise men know what is benevolent.”
The general meaning of this poem was that the tenacity of the grass could only be seen in the strong wind, and the sincerity of a person could be seen in the swaying side. People who are brave and brave know morality, while people with wisdom must have benevolence in their hearts.
This flattery was so fresh and refined!
This time, before anyone else could say anything, Li Shimin spoke first,"Very good, this poem and Wuji complement each other!”
Li Shiming had to admit that although there was no name in the poem, everyone could hear that this poem was about Zhangsun Wuji supporting Li Shiming during the Black Tortoise Sect incident. He was a great loyal minister!
With this meaning, how could Li Shiming not say it? Otherwise, wouldn't it be disappointing?
Zhangsun Wuji stroked his long beard and smiled.""I can't take it. I've always been doing what I'm supposed to do. So…Haha, I'll let you pass!”
Although Li Chongyi had passed two rounds in a row, there were still many people in the hall. Therefore, no one was in a hurry. They wanted to see what other poems Li Chongyi could produce!
What was originally a serious matter had now become a joke.
"Thank you, Duke Zhao!" Beside Zhangsun Wuji was Chai Shao. Li Chongyi also took two steps forward and stood in front of Chai Shao.
Chai Shao smiled." I thought you were as ignorant and incompetent as Ling Wu. I didn't expect you to be so good at poetry. I'm a little jealous of Xiaogong. I won't let you pass this test easily. You have to show your true talent."”
Li Chongyi did have something in his stomach. Before he transmigrated, he was at the top of the food chain for calligraphy and painting imitations. Even the experts at the Palace Museum could not tell if the imitations were real or fake. In order to achieve this, not only did one need to have a sufficient level of painting and calligraphy, but one also needed to have a sufficient historical background, especially ancient poetry. As a magnificent treasure of Chinese culture, Li Chongyi had put in a lot of effort in this area.
Therefore, finding a poem to praise someone was a piece of cake for him. However, it was not easy to praise someone until everyone agreed.
For example, if you praise Li Shiming, even if you praise him as someone who is more beautiful than Pan An, he might not necessarily buy it. You have to praise him as a wise ruler and find the main point!
Suddenly, Li Chongyi had a flash of inspiration and found the main point.”
"Hurry up and tell me!"
