"Wang De, what did you write to this rebel son of Zhen Niannian?" Li Shimin was still a little angry.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang De opened the fold in response, and when he saw the contents, he was taken aback, and like the eunuch who passed the message, he didn't know whether to open his mouth or remain silent.

"What, are you dumb?" Li Shimin said angrily. "That's it for the eunuch who passed the word just now, that's it; You, Wang De, are like him!? ”

When Wang De heard Li Shimin say this, he knew that he had to read it today.

I saw him standing beside Li Shimin and reciting: "Erchen only knows...... What about the prince of the Tang Dynasty, can the world know that the prince is difficult? The common people have not woken up, and the common people have slept, and I have not slept. ……”

Li Shimin heard: "The common people have not woken up, I have risen, the common people have slept, I have not slept." At this sentence, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The princes who were born in the imperial family, which one of them did not receive a strict royal education since he was a child, and which one of them did not get up early and greedy for more opportunities to be the crown prince for themselves.

This sentence is very suitable even for Tang Taizong Li Shimin, who is the son of the Tang Dynasty.

Since Li Shimin came to power, he has been diligent in national politics and national policy every day, and on which day did he not sleep later than Wanmin and get up earlier than Wanmin? Even among the reclusive people who live in seclusion today, how many of them can be like him?

As the saying goes: It is difficult to be a prince, and it is even more difficult to be a son of heaven. And if you want to be a Ming Jun, it is even more difficult!

This poem simply writes the voice of Li Shimin who has succeeded to the throne for many years!

........

Li Shimin has been distracted for a long time, and the things he has experienced from his first accession to the throne to the present are constantly replaying in his mind....

"The world is impermanent... The world is impermanent..."

But at this time, Wang De's chewing kept interrupting Li Shimin, who was immersed in memories of the past.

Li Shimin said dissatisfiedly: "Wang De, why don't you read it?" ”

"Your Majesty, this... This last sentence, the little one really doesn't dare to finish it! Wang De's face was red, and he couldn't pronounce the last sentence.

"Then I'll see it for myself!" Li Shimin snatched the fold from Wang De's hand, looked at it, but saw that the last sentence was actually - a cup of turbid wine and drunken red dust!

"Cup... Cup... Cloudy wine... Drunk red dust? Drunk... Red!? ”

"Rebel, presumptuous!"

Li Shimin repeated the last sentence of Li Ke's poem of the King of Shu, and when he came back to his senses, he drank it!

"Your Majesty, stop your anger!" Wang De next to him hurriedly knelt down and shouted.

Bold rebels, bold beasts!

How could Li Shimin, who has recited hundreds of classics since he was a child, not understand the meaning of Li Ke's poem?

Especially the last sentence: Many things in the world are difficult to predict and explain, it is better to indulge in good wine and have fun in time, I drank my beloved turbid wine cup by glass until I was drunk, so drunk that I could not see the disturbances of the world.

"Anyway, I, Li Ke, can't be the prince, Li Shimin, you don't have to worry about me, continue to elect your prince, I will honestly take care of my illness, and live a life of spending days and drinking after recuperation."

Although Li Shimin did not cultivate Li Ke as a prince, it was implied that he had no intention of competing for the prince like Li Ke, which made Li Shimin feel very unhappy.

You know, this is the throne of the Tang Dynasty, but the position of the lord of the world, you Li Ke said don't want it, where does this put the Tang Dynasty? Especially the last sentence, isn't this mocking the country that I have worked so hard to fight seems very disdainful in your eyes?

Yes, that's disdain!

disdains the qualifications of the prince, which is undoubtedly slapping Li Shimin's face with hatred.

"Arrogant!" Li Shimin slapped the dragon chair hard, threw the fold in front of Wang De, who was kneeling beside him, and said, "Wang De, you burned this fold for me, and then passed on my message and sent someone to bring this rebel into the Manna Hall immediately!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang De hurriedly picked up the fold in front of him, and when he was about to throw it into the fire kang, he found something terrible.

I saw Wang De exclaiming: "Your Majesty, there is a line of words on the back of this fold!" ”

Then the letter, which was about to be burned, returned to Li Shimin's hands.

Li Shimin turned to the back in a complicated mood, only to see that the back of the fold was written: "The edge of the sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." ”

"The edge of the sword is sharpened, and this sentence should refer to what is obtained from continuous sharpening; The latter sentence of plum blossom fragrance comes from the bitter cold, which means that the plum blossoms that have passed the cold winter will be more fragrant. Li Shimin calmed down and analyzed carefully in his heart. The meaning of this son is that my Datang is like a sword, and it must be constantly transformed in order to move towards a prosperous era, and even if it goes to a prosperous era, it cannot be relaxed. I can't see that this rebel still has such insight. ”

"Nonsense!" Although Li Shimin secretly admired it in his heart, he scolded on his lips, and hid the exam badge in his cuffs without leaving a trace.

And after that, Li Shimin once again looked at the examination seals given to him by several other princes, although he thought that the examination seals written by Li Chengqian, the prince of the East Palace, were the best, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that.

Although the prince also had a sharp opinion on the government during the examination process, it was not as good as Li Ke's sentence "The sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." "It's so effective, Li Shimin doesn't have the mood to continue to look at other princes who are inferior to him.

Then he turned to the time when he began to review the recital.

I forgot to explain before, the Ganlu Hall is the emperor's bedroom, and it is also used by Li Shimin here to review the chapters, read books, eat, and recruit concubines to sleep.

When Li Shimin looked at the twists and turns of the hill, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Now this little mountain is still something that has been checked by the Zhongshu Province and thinks that it can't be broken, otherwise wouldn't it be able to pile up to the sky?

Suppose a general guarding the frontier of the Tang Dynasty is harassed by the enemy army of a neighboring country, can't swallow this breath, and wants to fight back, this kind of thing that can cause war between the two countries The Ministry of War and Zhongshu Province will not dare to approve it, and must submit it to the emperor. The emperor said that if he didn't fight, the generals would have to hold back their grievances.

And the other kind of such as disaster relief and grain release, this kind of 100,000 urgent things can't wait, if even the household department doesn't dare to call the shots, then the people of the Tang Dynasty may have been starved to death.

Therefore, the government affairs handled in this manna hall are basically some relatively gentle, but they are related to the future policies of Datang. For example, the Grand Canal in the Sui Dynasty, the construction of the imperial tomb in the Qin Dynasty, the increase in taxes and tax reductions in the Han Dynasty, and the alliance with other countries.

Don't look at it as just a simple criticism, but in fact, the amount of work that the emperors of all dynasties have to do is extremely large, and every day is immersed in the twists and turns.

In fact, this is not the end, when Li Shimin reviews the folds, the six parts will be sent to the new folds one after another, and after the selection of the Chinese Book Province, find out the sensitive ones and send them to the Ganlu Palace.

In fact, this has become a dead cycle, even if it is a Ming monarch like Tang Taizong, it is impossible to have the possibility of completely reviewing the folds, if there is, then the Tang Dynasty will die.

Two or three hours passed like this, and the twists and turns on the dragon case did not decrease.

Looking at the twists and turns on the dragon case, Tang Taizong couldn't help but be a little distracted, and muttered in his mouth: "The edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." ”

"Wang De, ask Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng to come to this manna hall to see me." Li Shimin instructed Wang De beside him.

Wang De took the order and left, Li Shimin looked at Wang De's departing figure, and said to himself: "Li Ke, Li Ke, how many things are you hiding." ”

…….

Half an hour later, when Wang De returned to the Ganlu Hall with Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, Li Shimin was staring at the door of the hall in a daze.

"Your Majesty, the people have been brought, and the little ones have retired." Wang De stepped forward to remind, and then walked out of the main hall.

"Oh... Two Aiqing, please take a seat. Li Shimin came back to his senses and said to Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng bowed to Li Shimin and sat down.

"What about the Tang Dynasty Emperor, can the world know that the emperor is difficult? ......" Li Shimin said with feelings.

"What about the Tang Emperor? What a poem. ”

"Does the world know that the emperor is difficult? Good sentence! ”

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng praised each other when they heard this.

"This poem was selected by me from today's imperial examination, and I revised it and chanted it." Li Shimin said leisurely. "What if the original sentence is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, can the world know that the prince is difficult?"
