Hearing the saint read out the poem he composed, Cui Zhiyuan was really at a loss, and hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty has an overreputation, and the foreign minister's poems are just made in his spare time, so he should not be praised by the saint like this." ”

"Did you write "In the Autumn Night in the Rain" when you missed your hometown? I look at the first two sentences, 'The autumn wind is only bitter, and the world knows little', but it reveals a hint of nostalgia. Li Ye commented.

"Your Majesty's discernment." Cui Zhiyuan arched his hand, "At that time, the foreign minister was far away from home, so he felt it, and it made His Majesty smile." ”

"It's not enough to laugh, but since your writing is not bad, you can take a look at the poems I wrote. A poem and a poem, I think it's a good word, so you can look at the poem first.

Zhang Wei, bring the poem I made for the Shangyuan Festival dinner a few days ago. ”

Under Li Ye's instructions, Zhang Wei took the two palace maids to a shelf next to the main hall to take down a pair of framed calligraphy and paintings, and then came to Cui Zhiyuan and asked the two palace maids to slowly open the calligraphy and painting.

Soon, a pair of calligraphy and paintings appeared in front of Cui Zhiyuan.

There is indeed a poem written on this calligraphy and painting, not long, only four sentences. Although Cui Zhiyuan hasn't read the content of the poem yet, the words make him a little eye-catching, very unique, and very different from the Yan and Liu Ti that he is familiar with.

But when he thought of the Holy Command, he looked at the four verses.

The title of the poem is "Shangyuan Banquet".

I just heard that it was made at the Shangyuan dinner, but that's right.

The light moon and the stars surround the chapter,

The fairy wind blows down the incense of the royal furnace.

The courtiers stand in the hall of Tongming,

A red cloud holds the Jade Emperor.

This poem describes the situation of the ministers waiting for the emperor in front of the palace on the night of the Shangyuan Dynasty.

The poet used the fairy wind, the psychic hall, the red cloud, and the Jade Emperor to compare the scene of the Daming Palace and the emperor of the current dynasty.

If this poem is written by a minister, it is not surprising, after all, it is a work of praise for merit, but this poem is written by the saint in front of me, and I always feel a little strange.

Sing your own praises?

"What does Cui Aiqing think?" Seeing that the other party was deep in thought, Li Ye couldn't help but laugh.

"Your Majesty's poem is a rare masterpiece, the whole poem is solemn and grand, bright and magnificent, the language is natural and vivid, such as immersive, even if the people who failed to participate in this Shangyuan banquet see this poem, they can also imagine a royal ceremony during the Tang Dynasty." Cui Zhiyuan hurriedly complimented.

"Cui Aiqing didn't finish this, did he?" Li Ye smiled, "This poem was written from the perspective of a bystander at that time, before I arrived, and it can also be understood that I am boasting." ”

"Your Majesty's talent is beyond the reach of foreign ministers." Cui Zhiyuan said modestly.

"Then you can take a look at the poem I just wrote, and then comment on it." Li Ye smiled, and motioned for the other party to come to the table.

Because of the calligraphy and painting on the table, Li Ye had just finished writing, and the pen and ink had not yet dried, so it was inconvenient to lift it.

After getting Li Ye's will, Cui Zhiyuan cautiously came to the table and looked at the calligraphy and painting that had just been written and had not yet had time to be framed.

When he finished reading the poem, he was stunned, and he couldn't help but read the poem on the table softly.

"Drunk and looking at the lamp, dreaming back to blow the horn company camp. Eight hundred miles under the command, fifty strings turned over the outside sound. Autumn soldiers on the battlefield.

The horse-made Lu was fast, and the bow was like a thunderbolt. But the king of the world, won the name before and after his death. Poor white happens! ”

"But the king of the world, won the name before and after his death. Poor white happens! ”

Cui Zhiyuan kept muttering these three sentences in his mouth, and the whole person was stupid, and there were even some tears in his eyes.

He came to Datang to study in order to learn the advanced culture of Datang and then serve his country. After returning to China, what he thought about was how to use the good economic and political policies he learned in the Tang Dynasty to serve the Silla Dynasty and revitalize his nation.

However, due to the frequent changes of the throne of Silla, his political career changed rapidly, the bureaucracy became corrupt and degenerate, and his career was full of twists and turns.

It is precisely because of these experiences that Cui Zhiyuan can understand the deep meaning of this poem, and at this time he didn't think about how such a poem could be written by Li Ye, who has lived in the deep palace for a long time.

"Ahem!"

Seeing Cui Zhiyuan in a daze, Zhang Wei on the side couldn't help but cover his mouth and cough twice, and Cui Zhiyuan came back to his senses.

After realizing his gaffe, Cui Zhiyuan hurriedly saluted and pleaded for sin, "Your Majesty forgives me, the foreign minister was a little touched for a while, and his behavior was a little out of shape, and he abruptly surprised His Majesty." ”

"It doesn't matter, being moved by this poem shows that Cui Aiqing is also a loyal and patriotic person." Li Ye smiled, didn't care, and then instructed Zhang Wei to put away the poem.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cui Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have always admired talented people. It is said that after Cui Aiqing returned to China, he had more than ten policies for the former king of Silla, but they were not adopted, but there was such a thing? Li Ye asked curiously.

"I didn't expect Your Majesty to know about the minister." Cui Zhiyuan was a little surprised.

"I also learned about the situation in Silla. Now that the political situation in Silla is turbulent, with Cui Aiqing's talent, I am afraid it will be difficult to make a difference, why not stay in Datang, there are vacancies in the six ministries now, and with Cui Aiqing's talent, it is more than enough to serve as a shilang in the six ministries.

Or you can go to any state in the local area. Li Ye suddenly had the heart to win over.

Of course, it's not that Cui Zhiyuan's talent is very good, but such a character is still a little condescending in Silla. The status of the other party in Silla is not low, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first person in Sillahan literature.

"This..." Cui Zhiyuan's expression was a little flustered, he didn't expect the other party to open his mouth to let him stay in Datang.

"What? Cui Aiqing is unwilling to stay in Datang? Li Ye looked a little unhappy.

"Your Majesty forgives you." Cui Zhiyuan was so frightened that he hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty's grace, the foreign minister is grateful." However, on this trip, the foreign minister came on behalf of Silla, hoping to get assistance from the Tang Dynasty to quell the civil strife in Silla. ”

"Is there civil strife in Silla? How come I don't know? Li Ye asked knowingly.

"Back to Your Majesty, now that Silla is in civil strife, the local wealthy clans have become self-reliant, with Gong descendants in the north and Zhen Xuan in the southwest. Although the Silla monarch had the heart to quell the rebellion, he was powerless, so he sent foreign ministers to the Tang Dynasty, hoping that His Majesty would see that Silla was a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and send troops to help Silla quell the rebellion.

Silla wishes to serve the Tang Dynasty as its suzerainty for generations to come. Cui Zhiyuan looked a little excited.

"Really?" Li Ye's tone was flat, "During the period of Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, more than 100,000 troops were sent to help Silla eliminate Baekje and Goguryeo, but what did Silla do? The Xiongjin Governor's Mansion that attacked the Tang Dynasty forced the Andong Governor's Mansion of the Tang Dynasty to contain Liaodong from Pyongyang.

What Silla did before, I have every reason to suspect that after the Tang Dynasty waved his army to help Silla pacify the internal troubles, would I have to fight again?

Well? Can Cui Aiqing guarantee it? ”

As he spoke, Li Ye looked at Cui Zhiyuan expressionlessly.
