"Kid, I heard that you can write poems?”

Li Shi Min sat in his seat, revealing his big white teeth!

Cheng Chuyou couldn't help but lower his head. It wasn't because he was ashamed, but because it reflected a little light…

"Your Majesty, in front of Your Majesty, I dare not claim to know how to write poetry.”

Cheng Chuyou naturally wouldn't take this sentence as a compliment like a hothead, especially after he woke up and heard the poem he wrote.

Although this song was very high-class, the meaning expressed in it was too sad.

What sword drawn, heart at a loss, wanting to cross the Yellow River, ice blocking the river, Cheng Chuyou didn't know what possessed him at that time to be able to remember this poem.

Let me summarize the general meaning of this poem.

I'm a genius, but the current emperor is an idiot who doesn't know how to appreciate my talent.

Poor me, I am talented, but I have no way to serve the country.

Well, that was the general meaning of the poem. Of course, the premise was that the last sentence was removed.

However, the last sentence gave Cheng Chuyou a way out.

"Hehe…Are you mocking me for not appreciating your talent, or are you planning to write another poem after you go back?”

"Compose a poem that has no choice but to lower its head and compromise in the face of the powerful imperial power?”Li Shi Min sneered.

Cheng Chuyou's mouth twitched. Li Shimin's thinking was a bit too strong, wasn't it?

"How is that possible? I still want to live well.”Cheng Chuyou whispered.

"What did you say?" Li Shimin obviously didn't hear what Cheng Chuyou said.

"I'm saying that Your Majesty is wise and mighty, so you naturally know my depth!”Cheng Chuyou said loudly.

Li Shiming's eyelids twitched. Was this thick skin something that was passed down from the Cheng family?

Cheng Yaojin was like this when he was his father, and so was Cheng Chuyou when he was his son.

Don't your consciences hurt when you say such obvious lies?

"Zhen knows your depth? Why don't you say that I know your length!”Li Shi Min was furious!

Wow, why did this conversation suddenly become gay?

Cheng Chuyou expressed that he didn't know anything.

"Your Majesty is wise and wise, so you naturally know my shortcomings.”

This time, Cheng Chuyou was too lazy to change his words and directly quoted the previous sentence.

Li Shiming almost fainted from anger. His right hand trembled as he pointed at Cheng Chuyou. This kid was simply infuriating!

After a while, Li Shimin finally recovered. If there were other eunuchs here, they would have already dragged Cheng Chuyou out.

"Good, as expected of our Rong Commandant. You have the demeanor of your old Cheng family!”Li Shiming stood up and walked to Cheng Chuyou.

Cheng Chuyou didn't dare to agree to this. If he agreed, it would mean that the Cheng family would make Li Shiming angry.

It didn't matter if he admitted it to Li Shiming, because Li Shiming wouldn't do anything to Cheng Chuyou.

However, Cheng Chuyou knew that with Li Shimin's narrow-minded personality, he would definitely tell Cheng Yaojin about this matter and let Cheng Yaojin deal with him!

"I see that your poem is full of your depressed and frustrated mentality. You're only 15 years old this year, right?”Li Shimin took a piece of paper and handed it to Cheng Chuyou.

Cheng Chuyou took the piece of paper. On it was his poem, Difficult Journey, written in lines. There was a hint of Wang Xizhi's style in the lines.

After Cheng Chuyou took a look, he immediately took three steps back in fear. His eyes widened as he looked at the piece of paper in disbelief.

Li Shimin was obviously frightened by Cheng Chuyou's actions, and he quickly took a few steps back. Those who didn't know better would think that they had encountered some problems.

"Brat, what are you doing?!”Li Shi Min shouted in dissatisfaction.

Cheng Chuyou actually dared to throw his hand-written calligraphy on the ground. If he did not give him a satisfactory explanation, Li Shimin would definitely issue an edict…

uh... Let Cheng Yaojin beat him up!

"Aiyaya, I'm afraid I've seen a ghost.”Cheng Chuyou was still in disbelief.

"What are you talking about? How could he joke about ghosts and gods in broad daylight!”

Although Li Shi Min didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he still tried to be respectful. After all, the ancestor of the Li family was Laozi.

"Your Majesty, allow me to report!"

"Although I am ignorant and incompetent, I love the calligraphy of the 'Sage of Calligraphy' Wang Xizhi the most in my life. I often admire and copy it.”

"I can't believe I saw the real work of the Sage of Calligraphy here today! He actually wrote a poem written by me. If this isn't seeing a ghost, what is it?!”

Cheng Chuyou said righteously with a solemn expression!

However, if you looked closely at his face, you would find that when he spoke, Cheng Chuyou would look at Li Shimin from the corner of his eye and observe his expression.

When he mentioned that Cheng Chuyou liked the works of Wang Xizhi, the "Sage of Calligraphy", Li Shimin's expression was obviously happy.

When he said that he had seen Wang Xizhi's authentic work, Li Shimin's expression changed from happiness to satisfaction!

Hehe…Li Shiming, can't you endure this little flattery?

In the thousands of years that China has been in existence, there should be a few people who are above the passing line in flattery, right?

——————————————————————————————

[Little knowledge: After Li Shimin ascended the throne, because he was a mixed-blood of the Han and Xianbei races, he would be pointed at behind his back.]

Therefore, Li Shimin also followed the founder of Taoism, Lao Tzu, Li Er, as his ancestor, so as to win the trust of the world.
