Chapter 40: The Enemy of the Tang Dynasty
Li Su said: "Father, school is about to start, and the child doesn't want to go to school anymore in the future." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Bastard!" Li Shimin was furious when he heard this, and the goodwill he had finally accumulated was suddenly gone.
The three ministers also shook their heads slightly: In the end, it is still the stubborn three evils!
Li Shimin said: "You are young, why don't you go to school? Or are you going to mess around all day, you're almost 14 years old, and you're still so ignorant? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was grateful to Li Su, and when he saw Li Shimin angry, he relieved Li Su. He said: "Your Royal Highness King Liang, your father is for your good, so you should ask for other rewards, after all, you have made a great contribution this time." ”
Sure enough, Li Shimin remembered that his son had made a meritorious service, and he was about to reward him, so why did he start a fire again. He calmed his anger and said, "Okay, it's not allowed to go to school, you can order something else." ”
Li Su said aggrievedly: "Father, the child has something to say, can you get angry after listening to it?" ”
Li Shimin said: "Okay, my father is not angry, you say?" ”
Li Su said seriously: "Father, the child doesn't want to go to school, it's not that he wants to play, but the child thinks that the child's current master can't teach the child anymore." The boy didn't want to waste any more time with him. ”
When Li Shimin heard this, his anger came up again, he held back his anger and said: "Your master Kong Yingda is a descendant of Confucius and a recognized sage of the Tang Dynasty, why can't he teach you?" ”
Li Su said: "The child has grown a little recently, because the child has a new master, and since last year, the child's master has been teaching the child every night. Now, Master Kong (Yingda) can, children can, children can, and Master Kong may not know, he can't teach children.
Instead of wasting time with him, why don't you learn something new? ”
"You nonsense, how is this possible?" Li Shimin didn't believe it at all.
Li Su said: "If you don't believe it, the child dares to compete with Master Kong, if he wins the son, the son will never say anything, and go to school obediently." ”
At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness King Liang has some truth, his recent performance shows that he has made rapid progress, maybe it is true?" ”
Li Su hurriedly said: "Father, the child can prove that the child no longer needs to go to school." ”
"How do you prove it?" Li Shimin asked.
"Cao Zijian writes poems in seven steps, and Erchen can do it in six steps, if you don't believe it, you can come up with a topic, right?" Li Su said.
The people present are all poets.
Li Shimin is not only a great politician and military strategist, but also an outstanding poet, he left a large number of excellent poems such as "Danri", "Yongxue", and "Keeping the Year".
The poems of the eldest grandson Wuji include "Baqiao Treats General Li" and "Two New Songs".
Cen Wenwen's poems include "Fenghe Zhengri Linchao", "Fengshu Feibai Shushi" and so on.
Fang Xuanling's poems have not left much, but many of the good sentences in his poems have been handed down. "Learning to dye people is worse than Danqing." "Joy and anger are invisible." "I don't know who killed the deer." It's all his quotes.
After listening to Li Su's words, Tang Taizong became interested, and he said: "Okay, I want to see, do you have real talent?" ”
He pondered for a while and said, "I have the most important military merit in the court, so you can compose a side poem." ”
"Your Majesty, change the subject. King Liang grew up in Chang'an since he was a child, and he has no experience in the army, let alone been to Biansai, is this topic too difficult? The eldest grandson Wuji said.
"Lord Changsun, you don't have to worry, although I haven't been to the border pass, but the border soldiers guard the land and fight against foreign enemies, and their deeds have deeply infected me, so let's talk about this topic." Li Su said.
He paced on the ground, pretending to think, opened Baidu to search for Tang poems and stuffed poems, and immediately came out with a lot of them.
He really took six steps on the ground and said, "Father, the child is here." ”
"Okay, let's hear it." Li Shimin said.
"Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain, the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass.
The yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken. ”
This Tang Dynasty poet Wang Changling's "From the Army" is one of the representative works of Tang Dynasty Biansai poetry. Li Su copied it and unceremoniously became his masterpiece.
"Good, good." After reciting "From the Army", Li Shimin was sincerely amazed.
The eldest grandson Wuji clapped his hands and said: "What a beautiful artistic conception, such a heroic momentum." Well, what a poem! ”
Fang Xuanling and Cen Wenwen also praised each other.
Li Shimin was a little unconvinced, thinking that Li Su didn't know where he copied it, but he saved face for his son and didn't say it directly. He thought for a moment and said, "Yes, can you change the subject?" ”
"Father, please ask the emperor to ask the question." Li Su said.
"It's about to be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so you can compose a poem with the fifteenth as the theme." Li Shimin said.
Li Su continued to pace, walked six more steps, and groaned: "
The fire tree and silver flowers are closed, and the iron lock of the star bridge is opened.
The lights and trees shine a thousand times, and the bright moon comes one by one.
The prostitutes are all plums, and the songs are all plums.
Jin Wu can't help the night, and the jade leak is not urging. ”
The poet of this poem, Su Daowei, was born 16 years ago, and Li Su borrowed it.
Li Shimin was very happy, he suddenly felt that he didn't care enough about the children, and his sixth son was so smart that he had been ignoring him. He felt that he had wronged him before, his heart was a little sore, and there was a trace of dampness in the corners of his eyes.
He said, "Well, my father believes in your talents. However, Master Kong, it is up to you to convince you, as long as he agrees, your father will not stop you. ”
Li Su said: "Thank you, father." ”
Li Shimin said: "The matter of going to school is not counted, you talk about it, what reward do you need?" ”
Li Su had already thought of the way out in the future, and he said: "Father, the son wants to ask for a fief in Chang'an County, just a few dozen acres. Erchen knew that the land there basically had a lord.
Erchen won't let you be embarrassed, Erchen is willing to use his fiefdom in Xiangzhou, just exchange two acres for one acre. Li Su said.
"What do you want to do with the land?" Li Shimin asked puzzled.
"The child used to be stubborn, and it smeared his father's face, and it bothered you. Now that the child is grown, I want to share your worries. Li Su said sincerely.
"Yes, good boy." Li Shimin was really moved today. His voice trembled slightly.
Li Su was also moved, his brain was hot, and he continued: "The child can see that the real enemy of the Tang Dynasty now is not Xue Yantuo, nor any other state, but poverty and hunger.
The people don't have enough to eat, they wander, they take risks. The soldiers did not have enough to eat and did not have the strength to fight. Datang lacks financial resources to build the country. Seeing that your father is so frugal, the sons are very distressed. ”
In the early days of Zhenguan, Li Shimin was really very thrifty, and the bedroom of the Taiji Hall where he lived would leak rain in summer. The skirt worn by the eldest grandson queen will show the surface of her feet. He was harsh on himself and his family, and used the money he saved on the official affairs of the imperial court.
Li Su said, "Father, my son-in-law wants to help you defeat this enemy!" ”
