Chapter 29 The poems are astonishing

Seeing that Li Mingyue was at a loss on the spot, the royal family members in the water pavilion snickered.

Whether these snickering jokes are mockery or good intentions is unknown.

The attitude of the audience was ambiguous, and only a few of Li Mingyue's siblings looked at her anxiously, which aroused Li Mingyue's competitive heart.

Since his father retired to old age and became an idle prince, several brothers have been unable to do so in this court without their father's protection.

When King Zheng's mansion arrived in Taizong, it belonged to the side branch of the imperial family, and when it reached Gaozong, the blood relationship was far away, and it was reasonable for the clan relatives to look down on her, otherwise how could the clan relatives snickering at her situation?

"The question of 'upright month' from the saint, this beautiful day, although the bright moon is only shallow in learning, there are also verses in ...... heart"

Li Mingyue made up her mind, but she calmed down, and treated Li Zhi, Queen Wang, and Wu Zhaoyi as the harem concubines, and gave a courtesy.

"There are poems in my heart, and the bright moon is recited." Li Zhi smiled and nodded, interrupting Li Mingyue's words.

He has seen this cousin's talent, but this time this is an urgent poem for the occasion, the consideration time is short, and it is not easy to make a good poem, and it is really difficult for Li Mingyue.

Even if Li Mingyue's poems were unsatisfactory, Li Zhi decided to praise them in his heart, so that Li Mingyue could be safely treated under the eyes of the general public.

"Ran......" Li Mingyue's words changed sharply, and continued: "...... The poems of Mingyue's reflections are far inferior to the poems written by a rural villager in Xiahe Village on the outskirts of the city, which are in line with the holy title. ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the audience was shocked, and they all looked at her in shock.

"Holy Saint Ming, how can the son and son of the royal clan be inferior to a country villager, wouldn't it make the world laugh?"

Li Zhi was still stunned, and saw Li Zhen, the king of Yue, leaving the soft collapse, kneeling on the side of the dwarf, with a face full of righteous indignation.

"Brother Yuewang, please get up, if you have something to say, just say it."

Li Zhi glanced at Li Mingyue with interest, and smiled with deep meaning.

Among the sons of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to Li Tai, the king of Wei, who died in the third year of Yonghui, there were Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and Li Shen, the king of Ji.

These two people are very prestigious in the royal family, and among the people, they are also respected by the people as "Ji and Yue", which shows that they are famous.

Li Zhen stood up, and after making a salute, he said: "The question of 'upright month' issued by the saint, the minister has already presented a poem, and I respectfully invite the saint and the queen to listen to it." ”

Li Mingyue's face was as usual, at this moment, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, stepped into the bar, she looked like an outsider.

Li Zhi seemed to be interested, and said with a smile: "I have heard that Brother Yue is famous, and the people are all praised. ”

"The breeze is cold and empty, and Qingyue is alone. Drunk and riding the wind to climb Yuyu, Lingyun danced for three autumns. ”

Li Zhen was not polite, shook her head and finished reading, and looked at Li Mingyue with a smug face, the meaning could not be more obvious, can your clay-legged comrade make such a good sentence?

Li Zhi clapped his hands excitedly, the poem is indeed a good poem: "Good, a good 'drunk and riding the wind to climb Yuyu, Lingyun dances for three autumns', Brother Yue Wang is really talented, reward, a jar of grapes and wine in the Western Regions." ”

The royal family members present all congratulated Li Zhen on taking the lead, and there was a peaceful atmosphere of singing and dancing.

Li Zhi turned his head to look at Li Mingyue, but found that Li Mingyue's face was still unshocked, and he marveled at her calmness in his heart, and said to her: "Mingyue, how are your poems of Brother Yue Wang compared to the poems of Tian Shehan?" ”

Only then did everyone turn their heads to look at Li Mingyue, and found that Li Mingyue was so calm that they leaked ridicule and contempt.

Li Mingyue's brothers looked at her anxiously, in front of the saint and many clan relatives, they could take her away on the spot, which was really anxious.

This time, the face of King Zheng's mansion was really embarrassed.

Wu Zhaoyi also looked at Li Mingyue, her face a little unbearable.

The reason why she helped Li Mingyue round the field before was to see Li Zhi's thoughts, and second, to fight with Queen Wang for everything.

Third, it was because of how much King Zheng took care of her when she was in trouble, so he repaid the favor within his ability.

This time, Li Mingyue made a lot of nonsense, saying that he was not as good as a Tian Shehan, and violated Li Zhi's taboo of maintaining the royal family, if Li Mingyue couldn't come up with real materials, he would definitely be punished this time.

"Holy Lord, the bright moon doesn't dare to compare." Li Mingyue still had a calm face and said to Li Zhi.

"You also know that the limerick poem written by the village husband in the countryside can be compared with the good sentence of Brother Yue Wang?"

Li Zhi felt that his cousin had become so unreasonable today, and actually used Tian Shehan to compare the royal family, could it be that he was too arrogant to her?

"Definitely." Li Mingyue shook her head, her face calm.

Yue Wang Li Zhen snorted disdainfully.

"Mingyue has this confidence, and reads the verses of the village man, if I and the clan relatives present are not satisfied, I will let Uncle Zheng discipline you well."

Li Mingyue's attitude is so resolute, as far as Li Zhi understands her, he knows very well that this cousin is not completely sure, and I am afraid that he will not dare to make nonsense in front of his clan relatives.

Li Mingyue saluted, and then read: "The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground." Raise your head to look at the bright moon and bow your head to think of your hometown. ”

After the poem was read, the fallen leaves of the water pavilion could be heard, and it was surprisingly quiet.

The ridicule and contempt of the clansmen quietly turned into surprise at some point, and Li Zhen, the king of Yue, was even more flushed, obviously this poem completely suppressed his previous poems.

Wu Zhaoyi glanced at Li Mingyue with a complicated face, and her heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

After a long time, Li Zhi came to his senses and took a long breath, the smile on his face became more and more kind.

"A good five-word quatrain, a good 'raise your head to look at the bright moon, bow your head and think of your hometown', simple and easy to understand, the meaning is extraordinary, this poem should be passed down for centuries. A rural village man can make such a wonderful five-word quatrain, it is really strange! ”

Li Zhi sighed again and again, and his previous suspicions about Li Mingyue were swept away.

Li Zhen, the king of Yue, was immediately ashamed, and his face became more and more ugly.

"Mingyue, what's the name of this rural villager?"

"Back to the saint, this person is called Gao Sheng, tall and tall, promoted and rich."

This is how Gao Sheng introduced himself when he introduced himself, and Li Mingyue also introduced Li Zhi in this way.

"Gao Sheng, Gao Sheng, interesting name, can he read and hyphenation?" With such a poetic talent, Li Zhi moved the idea of recruitment.

Although the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty was very popular, but one hundred people took one, and there were so many official vacancies left that could be recommended by the princes and ministers and the Shi clan gate lords, and many people just relied on a poem to knock on the door of the recommendation of the princes and ministers and the Shi clan gate valves, and then made steady progress, which was not strange in the Tang Dynasty at all.

Thinking that Gao Sheng would have to let the Wang family do the work for him to see an agreement, Li Mingyue replied with a wry smile: "This person is illiterate. ”

"Bai Ding?"

This time, not only Li Zhi's jaw dropped in shock, but even the princes and clansmen present, as well as Queen Wang and Wu Zhaoyi, were all stunned.

Li Mingyue nodded, and said: "Gao Sheng, this person, has never been educated in his life, and he is illiterate, but he can make good poems, and the food he makes is also very delicious. ”

"Mooncakes?"

Li Zhidu is about to forget this stubble, this time the royal held a proper month, and the princes and clans of the feudal lords have presented a lot of rare treasures, but Mingyue has a special mind, and does not send treasures to send moon cakes.

"Quickly and I will bring the mooncakes offered by the bright moon."

Tang Gaozong Li Zhi was curious......
