Chapter Seventy-One: Spread the Word
No jokes!
In the era of feudal emperors, the words of the king were oracles, which were regarded as holy decrees. Therefore the king cannot joke, much less boast and lie falsehood.
Originally, some people speculated that the yield of corn, especially this potato, was fake, which may be the emperor's means to stabilize people's hearts and fool the world.
But after Li Shimin's few generous remarks, everyone gave up this idea. Paper can't hold the fire, one day these crops will be promoted to the world, and when the time comes, everyone in the world will know how much per mu, and the lie will be exposed.
The crisis of the emperor's integrity, the consequences are so severe that it is self-evident that Li Shimin is not stupid and will never make such a low-level mistake.
So it's true, the yield of potatoes per mu is less than a dozen stones, and more than thirty or forty stones, and the yield is surprising and surprising.
Li Shimin said leisurely: "When I ascended the throne in the past, I prayed to heaven that there would be no hunger in the world and no hunger in the Tang Dynasty...... Now with these new crops, coupled with the unity of the king's subjects, it will be achieved. β
The layman listens to the excitement, but the insider understands that the person hears the meaning outside the string.
How did Li Shimin ascend the throne as emperor? After the Xuanwumen Change, Gaozu was placed under house arrest and regented in the name of the crown prince, and Li Yuan was forced to take the throne a month later. A few days ago, rumors spread in Luoyang, claiming that the heavy rain and flood were God's punishment for the change in Xuanwumen, and the basis is here.
But at this moment, Li Shimin clearly told the people of the world that when I ascended the throne, my wish to heaven will be fulfilled, what does it mean?
The fact that God was able to fulfill his prayer shows that God has no blame or dissatisfaction with him, and it can also be understood that God recognizes his status as an emperor.
God doesn't object, it's logical to succeed to the throne, is it appropriate for others to talk more?
There is no hunger in the world, there is no hunger in the Tang Dynasty, how grandiose, how benevolent wishes, this move is enough to buy people's hearts and make the people full of longing.
However, there is a prerequisite for this realization - the monarch and his subjects are united. The common people will definitely work hard in order to fill their stomachs, and the emperor is already conscientious, but the focus falls on the "courtiers".
The so-called unity of heart, the courtiers must obey the emperor's orders and appease the people. In a word, don't talk nonsense, don't make trouble, and have the same heart with the royal family, otherwise you will have a negative Li people and a negative sky.
It is self-evident to whom this is said, Li Shimin believes that he should understand and will definitely be able to understand, and whoever dares to defy the world's condemnation in the future must weigh whether he can afford to carry this big hat.
This is the most important intention of Li Shimin's eastern tour, and he originally planned to knock on the door valve of the Shandong family in some way. But he didn't want Xie Yi to offer seeds first, and when he encountered a heavy rainstorm, some people were restless and deliberately spread rumors, causing rumors to spread.
So, Li Shimin will plan and respond in such a way.
Speaking of shocking power, what is more shocking than grain yielding thirty or forty stones per mu? With the advent of corn and potatoes, the people of the world are stable, what is the effect of rumors?
The emperor won the hearts of the people, the military and political power was in hand, and the foundation was solid. So those who follow the monarch prosper, although the rebel may not die, but it will decline, how to act in the future, the family valve must be weighed.
At this moment, many officials who did not know what to do suddenly came back to their senses, no wonder the emperor refused to accept the advice, and had to forcibly hold a literary meeting. It turned out to be a bamboo in the chest, which has a deep meaning!
Admire! Awe!
"The ministers will do their best to assist His Majesty to fulfill his wishes." Hundreds of people in the square spoke in unison, announcing that Li Shimin's goal had been achieved.
Xie Yi then introduced peppers and tomatoes, and it is naturally a good thing to have two more fruits and vegetables on the table. But in the end, it is not as important as food, so shocking, or everyone is still immersed in the shock and has not been able to extricate themselves......
Li Shimin's face was full of spring breeze, and he said happily: "Don't talk much, today is the literary meeting invited by Li Tai, I can't occupy the magpie's nest anymore, put the cart before the horse, Qingque, let's start!" β
Everyone almost spurted blood on the spot, and His Majesty the Emperor was also ...... Which is the Lord and which is the secondary, why be so hypocritical? Wen will be a yarn, who is still in the mood to chant poetry essays now?
Li Tai also felt quite uncomfortable in his heart, this literary meeting was simply a political show made by his father using him and Li Chengqian, and this will mention the literary meeting again, which is really a bit of a misunderstanding. Especially when he saw Xie Yi in the limelight, his mood was even darker.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so everyone will write poems and essays on the theme of autumn, moon, or farming, and how about following the example of the ancients Lanting Yaji?" Li Tai got up and laughed loudly.
The King of Wei invited, the emperor came in person, who dared to refuse? What's more, there are many talented scholars who originally came to participate in the cultural meeting, intending to make a name for themselves and win the favor of King Wei, so they were naturally prepared. Now that the emperor is here, hundreds of officials are here, and they are even more eager to try and strive to be a blockbuster and reach the court.
"Xie Yi, I have heard that your poetry is good, so let's show your hand!"
Xie Yi was about to sit down and drink a glass of wine to moisten his throat, but he heard Li Shimin suddenly shouting from above. Xie Yi was not interested in this kind of activity, but the emperor's speech was completely different.
It is obvious that Li Shimin's words are not words of consultation, but an order, which cannot be disobeyed. And there is a clear subtext, you can't be perfunctory, you must write good poetry......
Why are you always keen on these troublesome things?
Xie Yi was very helpless, so he had to act on orders and write poems on the themes of autumn, moon, and farming? My real level is too bad, so I can only continue to "borrow" apologetically.
In front of Mingde Palace, the maids in the palace were as busy as wearing flowers and butterflies, sending pen, ink, paper and inkstones to the talented scholars.
Some people write dragons and snakes, some people chant softly, and after a while, a lot of masterpieces are published. Most of them are children of famous families or famous families, most of them learn from famous Confucians, and they are quick to think.
A volume of manuscripts was sent to the imperial front, Li Shimin glanced at it casually, and handed it to Fang Xuanling, as well as Li Baiyao, a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, Cui Zhiwen, a scholar in the East Palace, and others.
These are the outstanding talents of Zhao Jun Li, Qinghe Cui and Fan Yang Lu, who are brilliant and famous. You can see at a glance how poetry and literature are learned.
When several people saw the poems of their own families or their in-laws, their faces were filled with faint smiles. The emperor used two sticks of corn and a few potatoes to surprise the whole world and make the family tremble, which was a warning.
It's just a warning, the royal family and the imperial court are still inseparable from the support of the family after all, why? Isn't it precisely because the family controls culture and education that there are many protΓ©gΓ©s and outstanding learners!
In this regard, the Maison Gate Valve is quite proud. (This is true, in the early Tang Dynasty, Wang Bo was born in the Taiyuan Wang family, and Lu Zhaolin was born in the Fanyang Lu family.) οΌ
Watching them taste poems and papers, praise a certain student, or recommend a certain son, Li Shimin kept laughing and silent. It wasn't until there was not much left of the poems that he asked, "Xie Yi, where are your poems?" β
Li Baiyao, Cui Zhiwen and the others suddenly moved, why did the emperor always ask this Huaiyang countyman? Could it be that in addition to growing new grains, he is also very good at learning?
Fang Xuanling, Hou Junji and others on the side were silent, while Li Tai had a curious look, and his eyes all fell on Xie Yi.
Xie Yi said: "Your Majesty, the minister has already drafted the abdomen, but in recent months, he has been busy planting, and he has neglected to practice calligraphy, and he is afraid that the handwriting will not be on the table." β
This answer makes people laugh and cry, as a reader, can't you write? Is it a perfunctory procrastination?
Xie Yi said that there was suffering, our words are good to listen to, but if they are bad, what is it...... It's not good to be embarrassed on this occasion.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin was not annoyed, but smiled and said: "Okay, you come to dictate, I will find someone to ghostwrite for you." Childish slave, I heard the master in the study say that you have been making a lot of progress in calligraphy recently, so how about you ghostwriting for Xie Yi? β
Let Li Zhi, the king of Jin, the prince of his grandson, ghostwrite for Xie Yi? This move...... Many people present couldn't help but be shocked.
This is a great honor, but it is also a huge pressure, and everyone can't help but sweat slightly, if this is not written well, the consequences will be ...... Hum!
"Sons obey orders!" In the spring, summer and autumn, Li Zhi was already quite familiar with Xie Yi and readily agreed.
"There is His Royal Highness King Lao Jin!" Looking at Li Zhi, who was waiting with a pen, Xie Yi said softly: "When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky, I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace...... People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. β
Xie Yi said softly: "The autumn moon is clear, if the minister feels something, give this long and short sentence." β
Over there, Li Zhi, the king of the Jin Dynasty, put down his pen, and his own chamberlain stepped forward to hold up the scroll and present it to the monarch and ministers. Li Shimin smiled and said nothing, Fang Xuanling nodded lightly, and several family officials were full of surprise, and after a while, they praised one after another: "Okay, Xie Xianzi is talented, and his artistic conception is the best tonight." β
"Xie Xianzi, just this one? Anything else? β
"The minister has been planting crops recently, and he has a deep understanding of the hardships of farmers' farming, and there is a poem "Compassion for Farmers". Xie Yi said leisurely: "On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops go down to the soil, who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard work." β
