Chapter 24: Poetry at the Banquet (II)

In the Chengqing Palace, a "speech" by a father asking about his son's studies came to an abrupt end, and the entire hall could be heard in an instant. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sudden coughing sound of Li Zhi, the king of Jin, successfully attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and Li Tai, who was telling him what he had "learned", couldn't help but stop his "speech" that he had already had in mind.

Seeing that everyone's eyes in the hall were focused on him, Li Zhi suddenly looked a little shy, so he had to blush, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "Father, Emperor,"

"Childish slave, why is it loud, what kind of system has it become." Lao Li also felt that Li Tai seemed to have heard what he was talking about, but it was not very clear when he listened to it at the time, and when he was thinking, he was interrupted by Li Zhi.

"Back to my father, can I ask if my father can still remember the four lines of poetry that the third brother exhorted his sons yesterday?" Although Li Zhi's face was flushed, he still spoke in an orderly manner.

"Oh, you mean?" Lao Li instantly understood what Li Zhi meant, and reacted instantly, isn't this the paragraph he overheard before eating hot pot yesterday.

"Erchen asked Confucius this morning with the third brother's poem yesterday, and Kong Yingda was extremely amazed and called the third brother the heir of "The Mean". Li Zhi continued.

As soon as these words came out, the four were shocked, and even the little sons stopped fiddling with their little hands and looked at these brothers and sisters who suddenly quieted down.

The princes were still looking at Li Zhi at this time, but there were more doubts and surprises in their eyes. The look was like saying, boy, did you put the satellite?

Even Lao Li looked incredulous and asked, "Is Kong Sacrificial Wine really saying that?" ”

Li Zhi looked at the brothers and sisters around him who doubted him, and said anxiously: "It's shallow on paper, and I never know that I have to do it." Maybe he was too nervous, Li Zhi couldn't pick up after reciting two sentences, his anxious eyes were red, and he had to ask for help through his eyes and face Li Ke who was sitting in front of him.

Li Ke didn't expect that a few of his nonsense poems could be recognized by the old and old-fashioned Kong Yingda, this is a descendant of Confucius, and he is also a master of Confucius.

Before Li Ke could think about it, Li Ke's eyes flickered, and he was suddenly shocked, it turned out that the eyes of everyone in the hall turned to Li Ke, and dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Li Ke in unison, but the contempt and coldness in the eyes of the princes who looked at Li Ke before the party were replaced with surprise and reverence at some point.

At this time, Li Tai, the king of Wei, saw that his hard-working manuscript was gone, and his passionate speech was also interrupted, and as a result, a poem summed up the truth that he had spoken for most of the day, and his fat face was pale, and he no longer had a harmless look of humans and animals. Listening to the fourteen-word verse, Li Tai's heart seemed to be dripping with blood.

Li Ke saw that everyone was looking at him, but he didn't have the hesitation and nervousness of Li Zhi. He said unhurriedly, "Ke has been in Shu in recent days, and when he is thinking about books and learning, he often combines them with the actual governance, so he occasionally comes up with such a few mixed verses, but Ke, the heir of "The Mean", does not dare to be. ”

Everyone said that Li Ke was modest, and even the crown prince Li Chengqian changed his smile when he saw Li Tai deflated, and when he looked at Li Ke, there is a good saying, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, isn't it.

Seeing that Kong Yingda's evaluation may most likely be true, Lao Li no longer questioned Li Zhi. Seeing that his child was praised for his talents, Lao Li slowly put down the little son and got up, his mood became more and more comfortable, and he said with a smile: "I casually took the school to take the schoolwork, but I didn't expect to lead to a horse of thousands of miles. After speaking, he glanced at Li Ke thoughtfully.

Among the princes, Prince Chengqian and Li Tai are both known for their intelligence, in addition to Princess Changle Yiya, who is good at Danqing and writes good calligraphy. But in addition to Li Tai, the crown prince and Changle also looked embarrassed, not to mention the other princes and princesses.

At this time, Li Tai suddenly felt that the cold wind that had just blown on his body ushered in a warm spring breeze, and looked at Li Ke and said, "The cold wind you blew for Gu just now, Gu has to blow back twice!" ”

Lao Li came up with the question, and when he saw that everyone was embarrassed, he was displeased, so he wanted to take Li Ke, a thousand-mile horse, out for a demonstration, and said lightly: "Ke'er, you come first." ”

Li Ke is helpless, he was revealed to be the biggest dark horse today, the heir of "The Mean", it is difficult not to be named. But in a hurry, I couldn't think of any famous poems and sentences related to the New Year, so I had to bow down obediently: Erchen is not in a good mood today, but he can't think of a good sentence to chant the New Year. ”

Li Tai on the side saw that Li Ke had taken the lead to grab his speaking position, and he panicked, but then saw that Li Ke did not say anything shocking. Therefore, he was in a settled mood, and stepped forward and said: "Father, the son has a poem to answer." ”

Lao Li couldn't help but feel a little angry when he saw that Li Ke couldn't write a poem, and when he saw that Li Tai came out to save the scene at this time, he also forgot to reprimand Li Ke, and said with a smile: "Oh, what is the good work of Qingque, hurry up." ”

I saw Li Tai pretending to be reserved, learning from Cao Zijian's seven-step poem, and chanting step by step: "Walking in the space for another year, singing and friendship." Welcome the new and say goodbye to the old, express your heart, and compose a splendid chapter in the poetry world. ”

After chanting, he also used his small narrowed eyes to give Li Ke a mocking look, as if to say: "You have the ability to compose poems." ”

When the surrounding princes saw that there was finally a poem that could fool the past, they all cheered and applauded Li Tai, although Li Tai's poem was not a top poem, but it was also appropriate to the topic.

Li Ke saw that this slut was about to be invincible in the world, and he thought that he Li Ke was a clay doll that could be manipulated by others, so he had to continue to meditate, and when he saw the Tu Su wine on the table, he said in his heart: Tu Su Tu Su, hey, there is!

Lao Li, who was on the throne, saw Li Tai chanting a good poem, and the emperor's mental trick was running unconsciously, so he said to the prince on the other side: "Gao Ming, do you also have poems?" ”

The crown prince Gao Ming listened to Lao Li's name, and the Sichuan-shaped wrinkles on his forehead wrinkled even deeper, Li Chengqian was about to get up with a frown and learn from Li Ke to admit Lao Li, but just as he was about to get up, he was "accidentally" tripped over the wide hem of his shirt by Li Ke, who was sitting next to him, because the hem of the Tang Dynasty's shirt was too wide and hung straight to the ground, so everyone didn't say anything.

It's just that when Li Chengqian got up again, he didn't see Fang Cai's sad face, and the "tattoo" on his forehead had been stretched, and he said indifferently: "Erchen meditated hard, but there are a few poems that can be used for the occasion." ”

Lao Li saw that the prince Gao Ming could also make poems according to his own title, and said with great joy: "Come quickly." ”

I saw that Gao Ming also learned from Cao Zijian to make a poem in seven steps, and walked seven steps towards the outside of the hall, but the first three steps of the seven-step poem were slightly weird, and when he reached the fourth step. A famous poem was born.

"In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu, and thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one."
