Chapter 11: Five Steps to Poetry
Li Chengqian's sleepy eyes are hazy, and the rooster hasn't crowed yet! He will get up. The ancients really suffered them, and of course the ministers in the court probably did the same.
That's it, get up.
At this time, the little maids changed his clothes.
This prince is really good, these things used to come by himself, but now they are all saved.
It's just that the food for these two days doesn't seem to be very good.
He also asked Guan Lishi (a eunuch in the Tang Dynasty, who was in charge of Li Chengqian's East Palace) in the East Palace, and his monthly salary was only 5,000 yuan. This money is not much, seventy-seven eighty-eight expenditures, and there is not much left.
When people are rich, he doesn't seem to be a good prince!
No, you have to make money to subsidize it and make life better.
But the Tang treasury has no money, and life is not satisfactory, so the money allocated is not much, he is an eight-year-old prince, and outsiders think that he has not understood this matter, and the ministers will not flatter him and send him money or something.
But how can you do it without money? The standard of living cannot be lost. So yesterday he thought for a long time, this money has to be earned, and he can't rely on the empty treasury to give him money, relying on him...... With the experience of two lifetimes, pastoral money should not be difficult.
But yesterday he thought about it and came up with a way with his quick thinking.
That is to make money by selling texts to solve puzzles.
Therefore, he didn't want to go to Li Gang today. But someone has come to invite this, and I'm afraid it won't work if I don't go.
"Looks like it's really not okay not to go for a while!"
Li Chengqian muttered, taking advantage of this gap, the clothes were all dressed.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, please have breakfast!"
The little maids waited for him well, stretched out his hands for his clothes, opened his mouth for food, and he enjoyed the process.
Not to mention, the faces of these little maids are really good-looking, and in modern times, they are definitely the existence of traffic beauties.
This is an all-natural appearance, not a comparable existence for modern people.
After three or two clicks, he had already eaten, and then went out to Li Gang's house.
Li Gang was eighty years old, and his legs and feet were inconvenient, so Li Shimin was sympathetic to him and asked Li Chengqian to find Li Gang and attend classes in his house.
When he arrived at Li Gang's house, Kong Yingda was also among them, and the two were talking word by word, and they seemed to have some opinions, and the more they chatted, the happier they became.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
Just then, someone shouted.
The two stopped talking and waited for Li Chengqian to appear.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Master Li, Master Confucius!"
This ceremony is over, and Li Gang first said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I heard Kong Yingda say that you know the scriptures very well, and you can recite them backwards?" ”
"That's it."
Li Chengqian didn't know what Li Gang wanted to do, and he was a little puzzled.
Li Gang continued: "That's excellent! From today on, Kong Yingda and I will begin to teach you to write essays and poems. ”
"Master Li, I will also compose this poem. It's not easy to get started. ”
"What?"
The two of them shouted in unison. You can't talk about it casually, and it's not a casual thing to write poetry on the spot.
Kong Yingda is okay, but Li Gang was a little shocked.
"Two teachers, how about I write a poem on Koike?"
He pointed to the small pond of the doors.
Li Gang's eyes were full of shock.
"Your Highness, please!"
Li Chengqian pretended to walk up, when he took the first step.
Koike
As soon as this question came out, there was a pause for a while, and then the second and third steps were already out.
The spring is silent and the water is soft.
After the fourth step, it is time to chant the Tao.
The little lotus showed its sharp corners, and a dragonfly had already stood on its head.
By the time he wrote a whole poem, it was already the fifth step.
He could have read it directly, but it was a bit like memorizing it, so he tried to read it slowly, as if he had made it himself.
The two of them were directly stunned, this poem was really unbelievable, and they never thought about it.
And this question seems to be made tomorrow after Li Chengqian fell into the pool, because the two of them also learned about the incident the day before yesterday, but it is not easy to discuss, after all, it is just an accident.
"This ......"
Li Gang was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
I had to mumble, "This ...... This poem is different from yesterday's, but it is also good, and it is very artistic conception! ”
"That's true, how about the two of us and Your Majesty resign?"
Kong Yingda started this idea again, he didn't want to teach His Royal Highness the Prince. Because he really has nothing to teach, and he encounters blows from time to time, this prince and master are really aggrieved.
Li Chengqian just smiled, and it was hard to see that the eight-year-old child was like an adult, very calm.
Li Gang said: "Kong Yingda, I'm afraid this is not good!" Your Majesty won't agree to us, and now that he's on the rise, if we say anything more, I'm afraid we're questioning him, which is not a good thing for us! ”
Li Gang's thoughts are more meticulous, it is true, if he talks too much to Li Shimin this time, I am afraid that Li Shimin will not be able to step down, in case Long Yan is angry, it will not be good.
"But His Royal Highness the Prince, we can't teach."
"This is really a big deal! What to do. ”
The two of them deliberately said it to Li Chengqian, how could he not know, so he took out a few pieces of paper from his hand and said: "Two teachers, you leave these things, in case Your Majesty asks, you will take them out and show them to him, and say that these are made by me." ”
The two took the paper in Li Chengqian's hand, and immediately opened it to take a look, and the two old faces were immediately shocked, because there were no less than ten poems written on these two pieces of paper, and there were also two or three articles.
Li Gang's hands were already trembling, he knew that these poems were all good things! And the style of writing is very advanced.
Of course, that's the case, these articles were written by Li Chengqian from memory last night, and they are all the best products of the later dynasty, how can it be bad?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this ......"
"These are all copies I copied yesterday...... Oh no, if Your Majesty asks about the poems you have made, you will show them to him, and you will think that you have achieved something. At that time, I will also say that under your teachings, I have had another epiphany! ”
Kong Yingda also said with some love: "These poems are really good things!" ”
For Li Chengqian's thoughtfulness, the old faces of the two became relaxed.
"Congratulations to the host, 20 points."
"Congratulations to the host, 20 points."
Forty points in hand, not too high or low, but better than nothing.
Next, Li Chengqian explained his main purpose.
"Two teachers, I'll hand over these poems here, I want to go back to the East Palace."
It's like the homework is all left, and you can't teach me anything anyway, so you might as well let me go.
Actually, he wanted to leave the East Palace and walk around, maybe he could make some money or something.
Li Gang objected: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid this is not good!" ”
"What's wrong? Your Majesty has been busy with business lately, don't worry, once he comes, I will obediently listen to the lectures of the two teachers here, anyway, the two of you can't teach me anything, and you will also have a headache and waste each other's time. ”
When he said this, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it, and the two of them couldn't find a reason to refute it.
Before they could say anything, Li Chengqian had already left.
They had to sigh, I am afraid this is the only way to go.
