Chapter 41: "Snow" and "Books".

The emperor is coming, it shouldn't be too early, after all, Li Shimin still has a lot of political affairs to deal with. Wang Dazhui shook his head and read aloud while guessing in his heart.

But this time, Wang Dazhui guessed wrong, or he underestimated how much Li Shimin attached importance to Hongwenguan.

It didn't take much effort for Wang Dazhui to sit down, when he heard someone announce, "The emperor has arrived!" Get ready to take over! ”

Everyone immediately put down the books in their hands, went out of the classroom to the door of the Hongwen Hall to greet Li Shimin, and lined up from the teachers to the students in order.

I saw Li Shimin wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, a mink coat on the outside, a gold crown on his head, and gold cloud-stepping boots on his feet.

The whole person looks very energetic, his hair is meticulously combed, his face is full of red light, his face is not revealed, the corners of his mouth are raised, and there is a hint of a smile.

Everyone knelt on the ground and saluted to welcome Li Shimin into the Hongwen Pavilion.

When Li Shimin arrived, the poetry meeting naturally officially began, and it seemed that the poetry meeting should be the practice of the Hongwen Museum, so everything had been prepared in advance.

The Hongbunkan sits on the north and faces south, with the Myeonglun Hall in the center of the seowon and the front and back gates of the Hongbunkan as the axis, the east side is the lecture hall for the students, that is, the classrooms, and the west side is the rest room for the teachers and teaching assistants.

The courtyard of the curator Wei Zheng is in the northwest corner of the Hongwen Museum, quiet and elegant, the bamboo forest is like a wave, and the meandering water is flowing, which is very meaningful.

Just like Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" wrote: "There are lofty mountains and mountains here, lush forests and bamboos, and there are clear streams and rapids. Although there is no silk bamboo orchestra, a song is enough to tell the romance. ”

Therefore, the poetry meeting was held in Wei Zheng's small courtyard, and more importantly, they also specially prepared silk and bamboo orchestras to help the fun.

Of course, not everyone can enter the courtyard where Wei Zheng is located and sing their own poems to everyone.

It must be selected by the gentlemen in the academy before he can enter Wei Zheng's small courtyard and sing to the emperor and several adults under the accompaniment of music.

I saw that in Wei Zheng's small courtyard, there was a book pavilion. Li Shimin and Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, eldest grandson Wuji, Du Rucheng and others sat together, with drinks and refreshments in front of them.

Next to the pavilion is a small stream, the water is murmuring, crystal clear, and there are fish swimming in the water from time to time, and it is strange to say that the stream here is not frozen.

On the pillars on both sides of the pavilion, there is a couplet, the upper couplet is: the bamboo yin is clear in the water, and the lower couplet is: the blue air is quiet like a person in spring.

Wang Dazhui also saw Di Renjie actually use a teapot next to the study pavilion to make tea for Li Shimin and several adults.

Since it is a poetry club, it is natural to have a theme, otherwise everyone will make their own work, and there will be no way to judge it when the time comes.

Li Shimin has the highest status at the scene, so it is naturally his responsibility to choose the topic, which is also a form of participation for Li Shimin.

Wei Zheng took a few topics and let Li Shimin choose one of them.

"Your Majesty, please choose a topic for the students!"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Hehe, let me see what topic Master Wei has prepared today?" It's too easy to get out of the way, and let these stinky boys take advantage of the loophole. ”

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he picked up the booklet and looked at it, only to see that the words "snow", "plum", "pine", "wine", "book" and "bamboo" were written on it.

Seeing the snow, Li Shimin subconsciously remembered the song "Qinyuan Spring Snow" by Wang Dazhui, and looked up at the place where Wang Dazhui was sitting.

Wang Dazhui has been paying attention to Li Shimin's movements, so when Li Shimin looked at him, he naturally found out, so he smiled at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin just glanced at it casually, ignored Wang Dazhu, picked up the brush and circled two words on the book.

Which two? Wang Dazhui was definitely not visible from a distance, and he only saw Li Shimin tick the book twice with a brush.

Wang Dazhui couldn't see it, but Wei Zheng and the others on the side sat close, so they could naturally see it clearly.

Seeing that Li Shimin chose these two topics, Wei Zheng did not react, but the others on the side whispered.

Li Shimin handed the booklet to Wei Zheng and said with a smile: "Wei Aiqing, this time the topic will use snow and books as the theme, and let the students of Hongwen Hall compose a few poems." Tell them that they will be rewarded for their good work. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! I believe that the students will definitely play their best in front of His Majesty. Wei Zheng took the booklet, bowed and said.

Then, he exited the book booth and came to the public to study, and announced: "Your Majesty's choice for you today is "Snow" and "Books", I hope you will compose poems with your heart. ”

The students in the courtyard immediately cheered. They all thought about how to make a poem that shocked the audience, so as to come out on top and get Li Shimin's reward.

When the students outside were meditating hard and conceiving poems, Li Shimin and others sitting in the pavilion chatted and laughed while drinking tea.

"Lord Wei, I didn't expect that your tea in Hongwen Pavilion is not bad! Looks like you're quite particular about tea, huh? Li Shimin picked up a cup of color difference and said while snorting.

"Your Majesty smiled, this little tea of the minister is not comparable to Your Majesty's collection. This was purchased by the minister from a store called Hongyun Supermarket, which was specially prepared for this poetry meeting. "Wei Zheng did not scold Li Shimin regardless of the occasion as written in the history books.

The monarch and the minister are like good friends, and they talk casually and are not at all restrained.

"Lord Wei, you said that this tea was actually bought by you from Hongyun Supermarket?" Li Shimin asked with a strange expression.

Why did Li Shimin ask such a question? That's because Li Shimin is also the major shareholder of Hongyun Supermarket, so Wei Zheng's tea can also be regarded as bought from the emperor. But no one else knows.

Wei Zheng thought that Li Shimin hadn't heard of it, so he quickly explained: "Yes! Your Majesty, a newly opened store in the West Market is called Hongyun Supermarket, which contains all-encompassing goods and a dazzling array of goods, it can be said that other people's homes have this supermarket, and this supermarket has many things that others do not have. ”

"Really? Is there really so much good stuff in this Fortune supermarket? Li Shimin was indeed taken aback when he heard Wei Zheng's words.

Because he didn't know much when Wang Dazhui told him, the reason why he cooperated with Wang Dazhui was entirely because of the "Qianjinfang".

As for fast food restaurants and supermarkets, Li Shimin felt that they were just small businesses, so he didn't pay attention to them at that time.

It can be that when I heard it today, even a picky person like Wei Zheng was full of praise for Hongyun Supermarket, and immediately realized that the two stores he ignored were estimated to be no worse than "Qianjinfang".

He decided to go back and summon Wang Dazhui alone to ask about the specific situation. It's almost the end of the year, and the emperor's money is a little insufficient.
