Today's people don't see the ancient times and the moon, but this month once looked like the ancients. If the ancients and the present people are flowing water, they will see the bright moon together. Kong Yingda looked at these four poems, and the more she looked at them, the more angry she became. How can a person who can make such a good sentence be a yellow-mouthed child who speaks wildly?

Tang Guan was relieved to see Kong Yingda like this, he could finally let this old-fashioned old man taste the taste of deflated, and he could also make some trouble for Li Mu, which was really a double win.

"Master? If it's nothing serious, I'll go first? "Tang Guan's goal has been achieved, and he wants to slip away. Kong Yingda glanced up at him and said, "Your poem hasn't been handed in yet, tomorrow is the deadline, and if you can't hand it over, the old man still has to tell Tang Shangshu!" ”

"Uh...... Yes, Master. ”

Watching Tang Guan walk away, Kong Yingda folded the two poems, put them in his arms, got up and left the Hongwen Pavilion. Although he admired Li Mu's poems well, but to Li Mu said that poetry is a matter of the trail, or lingering, in his opinion, culture and education is the foundation of the country, poetry and literature, is an important criterion for evaluating students' studies, how can poetry be a trail? How can it be compared with a hammer and a wooden saw!

Tang Guan was originally undecided about learning, and he couldn't keep secrets, Li Mu's remarks would be said sooner or later, if more people were bewitched because of this, it would definitely be a great disadvantage to the prosperity of culture and education. Li Mu is a county marquis, Kong Yingda is not qualified to order him to do things, but as the prince of the country, Kong Yingda has other ways. He wanted to enter the palace to face the saint, ask Li Shimin to be the master, and force Li Mu to apologize. He believed that the emperor would support him and would not support Li Mu.

Kong Yingda hurriedly entered the palace, and Li Mu didn't know anything about it. He was roasting a leg of mutton under a big tree next to the construction site, and by the way, he listened to Yu Wengui's report on going to Zhao Guogong's Mansion in the morning to collect money, and then distributing it, and then sending money and Wang to Dingxiang. Li Mu listened casually, not worried about what Yuwen Gui was doing. Because he believes that Yu Wengui is a smart person, from several things in a row, he should have some understanding, and he will not disobey the yang and the yin.

Suddenly, a eunuch from the East Palace came to look for him, and Li Mu thought that Li Shimin wanted to ask about the progress of the project, so he stopped Yu Wengui's words and asked him to supervise the work here instead of him, and then followed the eunuch who ordered him to the East Palace.

In the hall, Li Shimin was full of helplessness. He was discussing with Fang Xuanling about the reward after the pacification of the Turks, when Kong Yingda came. Li Shimin asked him to wait, but Kong Yingda didn't do it, and asked three times in a row, but he had to see him. Li Shimin also has a headache for this stubborn old man, not because he is afraid of anything, but because of his identity. He is the thirty-first grandson of Confucius, and he cannot be punished easily, otherwise it will be equivalent to slapping the face of the world's scholars, which is not a trivial matter, even if Li Shimin is the emperor, he cannot do it easily. Therefore, although Kong Yingda is not a big official, his status in the court is a little detached, and Li Shimin has always praised him and rarely reproached him.

If you ask for it three times in a row, it must be urgent. Li Shimin had to stop the discussion, asked the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling to wait in the side hall, and called Kong Yingda to come in. Kong Yingda hurriedly broke into the hall, Wu Zi was still angry, with a look of who had just fought with someone, Li Shimin saw it, thought that he had a conflict with someone, and hurriedly asked about the situation.

As soon as Kong Yingda told him about the events before and after, Li Shimin couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Master, is this kind of thing worth coming to see me?" ”

Kong Yingda said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this matter is related to culture and education, and it is by no means a trivial matter. If such remarks reach the ears of the students, they will inevitably cause a riot, and make the students think that poetry and writing are the same as carpentry and blacksmithing, and that they will not have to learn from the heart, so that culture and education will not flourish, and the people will be ignorant......"

Li Shimin heard that his brain hurt, and he quickly interrupted Kong Yingda's words and said, "Then in your opinion, what should you do?" ”

"Please Your Majesty invite the Marquis of Zhulu, and I will debate with him face to face. Lao Chen believed that the Marquis of Zhulu was only because he was still young and had no one to give advice, so he misunderstood the matter of his studies. The old minister is willing to educate him, and if he is willing, the old minister can also accept him as a disciple and guide him to learn. ”

Li Shimin saw Kong Yingda's appearance and knew that if he didn't follow what he said today, this old man would definitely be endless. In the face of this kind of person who can't be beaten or scolded, Li Shimin also had no tricks, so he had to ask the little eunuch to go to Chongrenfang to find Li Mu.

Li Mu came to the palace and saw an old man, who he didn't know. After looking at it twice, the old man seemed to be quite angry, a little inexplicable, and gave Li Shimin a salute, and said: "Minister Li Mu, see Your Majesty, I don't know what Your Majesty called your ministers to do?" ”

"The old man standing next to you is Kong Yingda, the priest of the country, and he has something to ask you."

Li Mu turned his head to look at Kong Yingda and said, "I don't know what you want to ask me?" ”

"Zhuluhou, the old man asked you, the two poems "Guan Shanyue" and "Asking the Wine to the Sky", but you wrote them?"

When Li Mu heard Kong Yingda's tone, his brows furrowed, why is the old guy so domineering, does Lao Tzu owe you money? But Li Shimin was present, and he couldn't show his dissatisfaction, and replied truthfully: "I did it, just casually said it during the banquet, how do you know, did that kid from Tang Guan take it to hand in his homework?" ”

Kong Yingda didn't answer, and then asked: "In that case, then you said that 'poetry is a trail, and a hammer and a wooden saw are avenues'?" ”

Li Mu's brows furrowed even tighter, he heard that the door was coming, this old guy was looking for trouble, and immediately his tone became cold, and he didn't need to be honorific, and said: "Although there is a small discrepancy in this statement, the meaning is right, it can be regarded as what I said, what is your opinion?" ”

"Opinions?!" Kong Yingda seemed to have been lit with a powder keg, and it exploded with a bang, and said angrily: "How can poetry be compared with a hammer and a wooden saw? It's insulting, you have to admit your mistakes, and solemnly apologize for your remarks in front of the scholars and students of Hongwenkan! ”

"Huh?" Li Mu scratched his head, his head was full of question marks, isn't this old guy out of his mind? Li Mu ignored him, looked at Li Shimin, and said, "Your Majesty, did you ask the minister to apologize?" ”

Li Shimin waved his hand, and he was also a little unhappy in his heart. Kong Yingda's title is the male of Qufu County, while Li Mu is the Marquis of Zhulu County, one is a baron and the other is a marquis, with a difference of two levels. Although Kong Yingda is older, his attitude of speaking like this is really excessive.

Li Mu saw that Li Shimin did not support the old guy in front of him, so he had a bottom in his heart, and said: "May I ask this old man, why do I apologize, who are you, and why do you let Benhou apologize to you?" Why can't poetry be compared to a hammer and a saw? In my opinion, not only can they be compared, but the hammer and the wooden saw are much more useful than poetry! ”

"It's nonsense, it's ridiculous!"

"What's ridiculous?" Kong Yingda glared, Li Mu also glared, and said: "I have an iron hammer, which can fight against foreign enemies, I have a wooden saw, I can build a bed and crossbow to attack the city, you have poetry, the Turks are coming, you stand at the head of the city and chant a poem, can the Turks retreat?" ”

"You ......" Kong Yingda was so choked that he couldn't speak, Li Shimin almost laughed, tried to hold back, did not intervene, watching Kong Yingda deflated, his mood was also very good!
