The banquet is in full swing, and it is fun for Li Gang to propose this method to help the fun.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin is also willing to assess the princes, and his three princes can also be regarded as dragons and phoenixes among people, and he is quite proud of it.

However, he still asked the courtiers first, "Ministers, what do you think of the prince's proposal?" I came up with an exam question, and I didn't just let the prince answer it, and all the courtiers here were talented, educated, or coarse, and couldn't read a few big characters...... Must answer!

If there is an article that can enter my eyes this time, the good horses of the Turks captured this time will be selected by Youer and others first, and another ten fine wines and ten slaves will be given. ”

The Tang Dynasty overthrew the Eastern Turks, which meant that the entire Mongolian steppe had entered the Tang Dynasty's pocket, and the war horses of the nomads had always been excellent. The good horses in Dongshi have always been worth a lot of money, and the war horses captured this time are at least first-class in the world, and they can be said to be worth 10,000 gold.

For military generals, a good bow and a good horse have always been regarded as life, which means that the survivability on the battlefield is greatly improved.

With the condition of a good horse, the generals present naturally accepted it gladly, and their mansion has always kept diners, so let these diners answer.

After seeing the generals hugging their fists and accepting it, the Wenchen who went to the banquet naturally regarded it as an elegant matter. Li Shimin nodded, and then said: "The topic of this time is set by me, and the time limit is one and a half hours...... Those who are not knowledgeable have left you plenty of time, if you dare to write scribble, take off your clothes in front of the ministers, and give you ten lashes. ”

After speaking, he showed a narrow smile.

Next, the eunuch maid removed the banquet on the case in front of Li Shimin and covered it with the four treasures of the study.

Li Shimin's calligraphy cultivation is also the world's master, he groaned a few times, only to see pinching the green jade purple brush, the pen instantly walked the dragon and snake, and the walking was also quite graceful.

After a long time, he looked heavy, hung the brush on the pen holder, and then asked the left and right attendants to frame it and look at the public.

"Your Majesty's calligraphy, it seems that there has been a lot of progress, look at this skimming, it is simply a miracle, in the past, Wang Xi's power through the back of the paper, into the wood for three points, Your Majesty has about eight points of skill......"

"Legend has it that Wang Xizhi put 16 pieces of rice paper when he wrote, and there was paper and ink on each piece, and the calligraphy and painting of the world were written on the familiar Xuan, if it could be divided into three layers, the layers were similar, it was the extreme realm."

"Since Cai Yong created this flying white body, from the end of the Han Dynasty to the present, it is not uncommon to see imitations, but His Majesty's ......"

When several Wenchen were stroking their beards and praising them, they couldn't help but stop suddenly, their eyes widened, but on the white paper, there was a handful of ghosts, because there was no skimming.

A circle is drawn on the white paper, and there is an ink dot in the circle, and there is a constant under the circle.

That's the question!

Li Shimin nodded with a very satisfied chin and said with a smile: "This is the topic I came up with, it is not difficult to say, it is not simple, but time is an hour and a half, if it is well written, the writing is brilliant, and I am rewarded, but if it is ......."

He straightened his face, snorted coldly, his eyes wandered for a while on the few military attachés who did not seek advancement, and then spoke again: "If you fool me, a certain horsewhip is not a vegetarian, are you willing to be just a reckless man who only knows bravery?" Commanders must be literate. ”

The last sentence is a bit meaningful.

After that, Li Shimin glanced at the three princes sitting on the right seat again. The crown prince Li Chengqian had a smile on the corner of his mouth, his expression was calm, and he seemed to be confident; Li Tai, the king of Wei, had a tight face and a little trembling calf, and his performance was quite normal; Wu Wang Li Ke frowned deeply, supported his forehead with his elbows, and was a little impatient......

In the past three years, although the performance of Prince Chengqian has been a little mediocre, and he is not as amazing as the poem "Compassion for Nong", according to his words, 'the article is made by nature, and the clever hand is occasionally obtained', Li Shimin also deeply thinks that it is difficult for such a knowledgeable talent to make an article that can be called exquisite, and naturally agrees with Li Chengqian's rhetoric.

Li Tai, the king of Wei, has also evolved from a fat little fat man to a fat and plump boy. Although it is not as good as the prodigies such as Luo Bingwang and others, his literary attainments are not trivial, and he has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and the six arts of the gentleman can be called superior.

But among the three princes, it is the most ordinary.

Li Ke's martial arts, the generals here did not dare to be better in archery, riding skills are even more exquisite, and the art of war is also familiar with the chest, which is why Li Shimin is very fond of this concubine, he was not like this back then, literature is not as good as built, only in leading soldiers to fight.

Therefore, Li Ke's impatience is naturally clear to Li Shimin.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin walked towards the seats of several princes and asked, "Chengqian, Qingque, and Ke'er, what do you three princes want?" ”

But before the princes could speak, Li Yuan smiled lightly and said, "Shimin, why don't you ask your father what the emperor wants?" Could it be ...... This is all the people present, not including the poor road? ”

In fact, Li Yuan also had a slight consideration in his heart, although the Eastern Turks had been destroyed, the next Tang Taizong would implement a policy of delaying disasters for a hundred years, and he had to stop it.

The Eastern Turks are gone, but there are still millions of Turkic people left.

What did Li Shimin do in history? just recruited the eldest grandson Wuji to ask a few words, and then set up a single Yu Duhu Mansion in the original territory of the Eastern Turks, moved hundreds of thousands of Turks to the border, and defended the frontier for the Tang Dynasty, in fact, it is a high degree of autonomy, just recruiting Turks when fighting.

After the implementation of this Tang national policy, the Turks were grateful to Dade and gave Li Shimin the title of Heavenly Khan.

But in the long run, Li Shimin's move is undoubtedly a disaster for the country and the people!

Although the Turks are Tang people, they are incompatible with the Han people in the Central Plains, and have always maintained a high degree of national autonomy, which later caused the Anshi Rebellion, and after the great decline of the Tang Dynasty's national strength, it was plundered by the Turks and Khitan many times, and even Chang'an was lost several times.

Although the merit is temporary, the disadvantage is in the future.

However, the emperor could not say this directly to Li Shimin face to face, and could only use letters to euphemistically admonish.

After hearing Li Yuan's teasing words, Li Shimin smiled, since Lao Tzu said so, can he still disagree with his son, but it feels weird......

"Since my father wants to write it, my sons naturally don't dare to go against my father's wishes, but it's just ...... But the sons did not dare to boast about giving them a car and wine, and all the land and territory were shared by the father and the son. ”

After seeing the Emperor Taishang nodding, Li Shimin's heart was relieved, and he turned to look at the three unangry sons seriously, and said with a scolding: "You and the other three, if you don't write well this time, you are ready to copy the "Book of Filial Piety" a hundred times, and you are not allowed to eat for three days!" ”

"......" princes.

Obviously, my father was amiable just now, with a smile on his face, but his face changed. Sure enough, the sky is unpredictable!

The thunder, rain and dew were all Jun'en, and they had to nod with tears in their eyes.
