Chapter 66: King Qin's Banquet is amazing

After all the staggering, all that's left is to start discussing the next year's affairs. Luo Yan is not unfamiliar with this process www.biquge.info and he has participated in several meetings before.

In fact, the reason why Li Shimin was in such a hurry to hold this rally during the Chinese New Year was mainly because his old rival Li Jiancheng, the crown prince, had gratifying results on the battlefield in Shandong. This is not good news for Li Shimin, who has been staying in Chang'an City.

Li Jiancheng has made great achievements in Shandong, and with Li Gang and Wei Zheng under him, it is very easy to win over the wealthy families in Shandong. This is a very powerful boost above the court. And Li Jiancheng's growing power is not what Li Shimin wants to see.

Therefore, although he knew that he could only show weakness as before, Li Shimin was still unwilling to let Li Jiancheng become bigger.

Luo Yan knew that Datang was not stable this year, although Li Jiancheng pacified Liu Heimin and Xu Yuanlang in Shandong. But then the Turks and Tuyuhun invaded, and there were rebellions in Danyang and Shazhou, and basically the war and diplomatic negotiations did not stop. So now Li Shimin's worries are superfluous.

Li Jiancheng has already gotten the benefits he wants in Shandong, but that's it. Anyway, Li Yuan asked Li Jiancheng to go to Shandong purely to make the prince's position more stable. In the next war, neither Li Shimin nor Li Jiancheng could touch it.

So the next game is still in the court.

It can be said that it is Li Jiancheng's home field, although Li Jiancheng went to Shandong these days, Li Shimin took the opportunity to win over many people, but with little success. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Shimin has the name of General Tiance, but in fact, there is no hope at all. The person who can get the most ideas is not optimistic about him at this time.

Listening to Li Shimin's high-ranking staff talking, Luo Yan was a little envious. Regardless of whether what these people said was right or not, at least, they can now make ideas for Li Shimin like this, unlike themselves, although they know a lot of things, they can only be silent like this. Even if Li Shimin made suggestions and suggestions when he was in need, it was only to provide a way of thinking, and it would take the nod of these senior staff members before it could be adopted.

In fact, Li Shimin and his staff are now also forced by Li Jiancheng's development, and if you really want to talk about it, Li Yuan has to blame for the matter. Although this goods gave his eldest son the title of prince, his attitude towards this second son was also ambiguous. Although Li Shimin's forces have been suppressed very much recently, after the problem is suppressed, they will immediately give the same compensation. What's going on, it's completely hanging on to Li Shimin's hope.

I have to say that Li Yuan's hand is too dizzy.

This is clearly to let his two sons fight non-stop. Li Shimin and his staff have been reluctant to make up their minds to do a big job, in fact, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng have not forced him to be anxious, and in these days of illusion, they naturally have to abide by the rules.

At this moment, several people have talked about Li Shimin's need to show some grandeur, and this idea cannot be said to be wrong. Now Li Shimin's low-key is a bit excessive, and the already shallow foundation of the court can now be said to be stormy. It is still beneficial to stand up and say a few words and make a stand clear, which is still conducive to winning people over.

These people are all thinking about the problem from the point of view of strengthening themselves. But they forgot that Luo Yan said a few months ago that no matter how you increase your strength at present, in fact, as long as Li Yuan waves his hand, even if you make sense, others can cripple your power.

These people still misestimated Li Yuan's attitude. After all, at this time, Li Shimin suffered a lot of losses, but at the same time, he also took a lot of advantages.

Listening quietly, Luo Yan's thoughts slowly shifted to other places.

Recently, as a result of reading several articles in the "Han Changli Collection", Luo Yan has a lot of feelings about the ancient literary movement.

Before reading Han Yu's article, Luo Yan actually didn't have much feeling about the two genres of ancient Chinese and punwen. Although Luo Yan was a member of the Jinshi Branch, and later even became famous with "The Book of Rights", it was the blessing of "Jiayou Collection", which is actually an ancient text, but Luo Yan may prefer the pun text a little more.

Because the ancient text that impressed Luo Yan the most was actually Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng". This essay was very memorable when Luo Yan was in high school, and many poems filled in the blanks came from this article, and it read rhythmically and beautifully.

But it's one thing to read, when Luo Yan tried to write an article himself, he found that it was actually very mysterious.

If you want to write a good prose, you must first have a deep background. Many times, for the sake of rhythm, a lot of allusions are applied and rhetoric is piled up, which is not an easy thing.

"Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" has been passed down through the ages, not only because he has literary value in his own right, but also because of the story of Wang Bo's belly draft.

One of the most criticized points of later generations is that because of the need to pile up rhetoric, so that the article has fewer meanings and more words, and it is greatly limited in expressing the content of ideas. is the same as the pun, and now there are poems that uphold the legacy of Qi Liang.

Needless to say, think about the one who is humbly taught in front of Luo Yan, in fact, he likes this flowery article very much.

For later generations, during the reign of Li Shimin, there was a very famous piece of commentary "Ten Thoughts of Emperor Taizong". This is written by the famous Wei Heizi to Li Shimin, and those who are familiar with it must know that there are a lot of dualities and dictionaries in the sentences in the song.

Luo Yan thought very maliciously, if all the civil and military performances of the Manchu Dynasty were all, would Li Shimin see it and want to vomit at that time. It's not that everyone has the skills of Wei Heizi, and he writes a piece of music so beautifully. At that time, the quality of this music is uneven, Li Shimin can look at it for a year or two, if he looks at it for decades, he will definitely be able to cure the disease that likes Puwen.

Of course, this is just Luo Yan's thoughts, in fact, the recital of the court is still relatively pragmatic, and each recital is more or less gorgeous, but what to say is absolutely unambiguous.

The Korean Liu Zongyuan and the Three Sus, collectively known as the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, actually had such a conclusion in the Ming Dynasty. Without exception, all of them were the initiators and representative figures of the ancient literature movement.

Many people say that the development of literature is actually linked to the social, economic, and humanistic aspects. But at the end of the day, it really depends on what people need.

The legacy of Piwen and Qi Liang both started from the Wei and Jin dynasties, when the struggle between the Sima clan and the Cao clan was very cruel, the politics were dark, and the ideals of the scholars and doctors were shattered. The literati talked about the Xuanli Sect and Feng Lao Zhuang, and later the society was temporarily stable, but most literati began to pursue elegant rhetoric and neatness. With economic development and intellectual monopoly, this became an era of aristocracy, and poetry and essays were detached from Confucian values.

If it weren't for the support of Zuo Si and Tao Qian, the Jin and Northern Dynasties could only be described as gorgeous in literature.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan seemed to see his future direction. Literary reform will inevitably be a hurdle that I will not be able to bypass in the future. It is even said that the achievement of Wenzong is closely related to this in literature, after all, it is relatively simple to create a school of doctrine. I just don't know if it's worth engaging in a vigorous ancient literature movement. But this is all for the future, and now Luo Yan is just looking for a way.

When he wanted to transfer his thoughts to other places, Luo Yan was pushed by his own teacher and came back to his senses.

It turned out that these senior aides of Li Shimin basically expressed their own opinions, and now Li Shimin hit Luo Yan with his idea.

Anyway, the previous strategy of Taoguang and obscurity was proposed by Luo Yan, and Li Shimin could not bypass Luo Yan on how to take the next road at this time.

Who knows, after signaling for a long time, Luo Yan didn't react at all. There was no way, Li Shimin had no choice but to ask, who would have thought that Luo Yan would not pay attention to it.

The scene was embarrassing enough, and Lu Deming had no choice but to push his disciple and bring him back to his senses.

Knowing that he had lost his mind and made a mistake, Luo Yan had no choice but to obediently confess: "Because I thought of some academic things, Luo Yan lost his mind for a while, and asked His Highness for forgiveness." ”

Of course, everyone also knows that what Luo Yan said at this time that he was thinking of learning and the like was purely making excuses, but since Luo Yan had accused, Li Shimin would not investigate deeply. Instead, he said with a smile: "No wonder it is rumored that Jin Zhi studied hard and became famous in Chang'an, but I didn't expect that at this time, I was still thinking about academic things." Fang Cai Xiao Wang consulted your opinions on the arrangements for the next period of time, I don't know what high opinions Jin Zhi has? ”

"Well, Your Highness is polite. It's true that Gao Jian doesn't have it, but he has one of them, and I don't know if His Highness wants to hear it. Luo Yan was also unceremonious. Since he asked about himself, Luo Yan would definitely not hide it. Now that he is in Li Shimin's camp, he can only be regarded as a second-rate person, and if he wants to raise his value, it must be indispensable to actively contribute ideas.

"Oh, let's hear it." Li Shimin was intrigued by Luo Yan's answer.

"Before speaking, Yan wants to ask His Highness a question, and I hope His Highness can answer it honestly." Luo Yan already has an answer to Li Shimin's question, so he naturally needs some foreshadowing.

"Excuse me."

"To be honest, how likely is it that the saint is easy to store?"

"Well, there's not much hope."

Luo Yan listened to Li Shimin's answer and knew that Li Shimin was still holding a fluke at this time. What is not much hope, in fact, is that there is still hope. What Luo Yan needs to do at this time is to completely dispel Li Shimin's hope.

"It's not that there's little hope, it's that there's no hope at all." Luo Yan's words were amazing, attracting the attention of everyone in the hall.
