Chapter 8 Hunting Feast
"King Qin has arrived!"
At the sound of an order, the music fell, the officials rose, and the atmosphere became serious.
The dancing Wei Chi Jingde, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin and others returned to their own positions and stood still, solemnly waiting for the arrival of Li Shimin, the king of Qin.
The identities of Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang, Sun Simiao and others are slightly lower, so they can only stand in a very backward position, so it is okay to stay in the corner and not attract attention.
After a while, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and the eldest grandson of the princess walked into the big tent side by side, and the people in the tent bowed their heads slightly to show their respect for the king and princess of Qin.
Li Shimin and the eldest grandson sat down, and Li Shimin smiled: "Hahaha, tonight is a hunting banquet, everyone doesn't have to be so restrained, all sit, all sit!" ”
A remark made the atmosphere in the tent instantly relaxed, especially Wei Chi Jingde and others, these people who have followed Li Shimin for many years to fight, and Li Shimin have already established a relationship beyond the monarch and ministers, and they have been fighting and killing for more than ten years, and they are not like monarchs and ministers when they are relaxed, but more like brothers who live and die together.
Therefore, in front of Li Shimin, Wei Chi Jingde and others were still very open.
The eldest grandson also smiled: "This year, the strong men of the Qin Wangfu straddled the horses, held the carved bows, stretched the full strings, and returned with a full load, everyone gathered the prey, the barbecue that should be barbecued, the stewed stew, and the body was replenished for the autumn and winter."
"Yes, yes, the princess is right, drink wine in a big bowl and eat meat in a big piece, wouldn't it be happy, come on, pick up the wine glass, everyone will not get drunk tonight." Li Shimin took a glass of wine and drank it back.
"Your Highness Xie, Princess Xie."
Everyone in the tent also raised their glasses together and drank it all at King Qin, Li Chunfeng also picked up the wine glass in front of him, first put it in his nose and smelled it, it smelled a little fruit beer, and then he took a sip, anyway, he stood at the back, it didn't matter how much he drank or how little.
The ancient music started, the barbecue was fragrant, and the monarchs and ministers in the tent pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.
Although this ancient wine reading is low, but if you drink too much, it will also go up. Especially with so many generals present, drinking too much, there are not so many restraints, and there is no longer so much sense of proportion between words and deeds.
"Your Royal Highness, Princess, Wei Chi Jingde respects you a glass."
"Okay."
"Minister Qin Shubao, I also respect His Royal Highness and the princess."
"Okay,!"
"The last general, Duan Zhixuan, toasted His Royal Highness the King of Qin and the princess."
"Good, good."
……
Drinking wine in a big cup and eating meat in a large piece, Li Shimin also did not refuse to come, accompanied by ancient music, the atmosphere in the big tent became more and more enthusiastic, but such an atmosphere did not seem to be suitable for the following cadres Wenchen and Li Chunfeng and others.
The Taoist priest pays attention to Qing cultivation, so he is tired of such an assembly, but the person who organized this banquet is Li Shimin, so Yuan Tiangang, Sun Simiao and others can't get away with it, and they sit in the back in a daze, which is somewhat incompatible with this lively atmosphere.
In order to be able to take care of everyone, the eldest grandson said: "Your Highness, generals, on this good day, why don't you write a poem and keep it as a good thought." ”
"Okay, good, the princess has a good proposal." Li Shimin put down his wine glass and said, "Jingde, come, you come to compose a poem." ”
"Hey, Your Highness, don't cancel me, Wei Chigong is a rough person, where will you do any poetry." Wei Chi Jingde smiled, turned his head and said, "Come, Lao Cheng, you come to write a poem." ”
"Wei Chi Jingde, you asked me to compose a poem?" Cheng Yanjin scolded with a smile, "Do you want to beg for a fight?" ”
"Hahaha......" Everyone laughed, it was okay to let these generals ride on horseback to the battlefield, if they were to improvise poems, it would indeed be a little difficult.
On the side, the eldest grandson said: "Your Highness, the concubine should recommend a person, this person has good poetry, but he can write poems to help the fun." ”
"Oh? Who? ”
"Chang'an County Master Li Yida."
"Since it is recommended by the princess, it must be erudite and talented, okay, let Li Yida compose a poem."
King Qin ordered, who would not obey? But seeing that a person stood up from among the ministers in front of Li Chunfeng, he said: "Li Yida, the chief bookkeeper of Chang'an County, thank you." ”
The tent was quiet, leaving only the soothing sound of ancient music, Li Yida stepped into the center of the tent, and first bowed his head to ponder under the gaze of everyone, and after about a pillar of incense, Li Yida said loudly: "The famous general crosses the flying horse, carving the bow and controlling the strings." Sweeping the four fields, King Qin saddled his horse in front of him. ”
After saying these four sentences, Li Yida walked a few steps in the tent in a leisurely stroll, as if he was considering the verses behind, and then pointed to the game in the hands of the generals, and continued to say loudly: "The eagle is white and the grass is white, and the fox rabbit is fat and fresh." Distribute it to all the soldiers, and make the wine kings and ministers happy. ”
"Good!"
After Li Yida finished writing this poem, Li Shimin took the lead in clapping and praising it.
"Good ......"
"Wonderful ......"
……
For a while, the voices of admiration in the big tent came and went, and even Li Chunfeng, who was behind, was impressed by this master book called Li Yida, and said that Tang and Song poetry were the pinnacle of Chinese poetry, and now it seems that it is not an exaggeration.
It doesn't take Li Bai and Du Fu to compose a poem in such a short time just for the main book of a county, which shows the level of the literati of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chunfeng secretly sighed in his heart, but he didn't know that this Li Yida had been known for his poetry in Chang'an very early, otherwise, how could he be invited to participate in King Qin's autumn hunt with a small county master's book?
"Master Li's poem is a poem that gives the scenery to the scene, and sends the affection to the scene, and describes the style of this autumn hunt," the eldest grandson praised, "I don't know Your Highness, how to reward it?" ”
King Qin laughed: "The reward is naturally to be rewarded, come and give the fox skin you hunted to Master Li two copies." ”
"Your Highness."
Li Shimin's eyes fell on Li Chunfeng and the three of them here, and said, "Yuan Daochang, Li Daochang, Sun Daochang, do the three also have poems?" As far as you can say, this king also has a reward. ”
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin would lead the topic to himself, Yuan Tiangang got up, first saluted, and then said: "Back to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the old Taoist is a few people who are shallow in their studies, and there are no poems. ”
"Oh? Really not? Li Shimin's eyes fell on Li Chunfeng.
Li Chunfeng, Sun Simiao and others also stood up and replied respectfully: "No." ”
"This ......" is actually from Li Shimin's words, everyone in the tent can hear it, as long as there is a poem, no matter whether it is good or bad, Li Shimin will be rewarded, he just wants to find a reason, after all, Li Chunfeng "leaked the secret of heaven", but now the response of Yuan Tiangang and the three of them made Li Shimin a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, there was the eldest grandson on the side, and I only listened to the eldest grandson's words: "Your Highness, since this is the case, it is better to decide the ownership of the prey by throwing pots and arrows, how about it?" ”
Li Shimin said with a smile: "Okay, throwing pots and arrows is according to the princess's opinion." ”
