Chapter 4 Assessment

Following.

Hundreds of officials gathered in the splendid Taihe Palace, the head of the three guilds, and the Tang Emperor also sat on the dragon chair.

In addition, they are the five heirs of the Tang Kingdom.

The third prince Li Qi, the fifth prince Li Zheng, the sixth prince Li Yi, the eighth prince Li Yu, and the former crown prince Li Ming.

Among these five princes, except for Li Ming, all of them have been reading poetry and books since childhood.

Therefore, when Li Ming stood with several other imperial brothers.

No one took him as the imperial brother in his eyes at all, but they were on guard against each other.

Only Li Qi, the third prince, stared at Li Ming with hatred on his face.

Li Ming, you waste!

Although I don't know how you survived, but after today, the crown prince must belong to this prince!

When the time comes, you will lose the position of prince, and see how I torture you.

Yesterday, he was forced by Li Ming to kneel in public, which was already a shame in a shame, but he didn't expect him to run to tell his father about Li Ming's forcing of the sixth princess, which caused his father to blame him.

This matter came and went, he himself was not a person inside and out, and when he returned to the palace, he was angry in his heart, and he didn't sleep well all night.

Yes, he looks a little paler than Li Ming, the prince who has been hollowed out by wine.

Especially remembering that Zhao Meier, who had not yet had time to enjoy it, had been forced by Li Ming, he felt suffocated in his heart again.

"Your Majesty, the time has come, and the examination can begin."

On the side of the dragon chair, a eunuch said to Emperor Tang.

When Emperor Tang heard this, he looked at the five princes in front of the main hall, waved his hand and said, "Let's start!" ”

As soon as these words came out, three old men immediately walked out of the main hall.

These three old men should be the master and master of the dynasty, and the prime minister of the dynasty.

The third prince first bowed to Emperor Tang, and then came to the front of the palace and looked at the five princes and said, "Princes, the examination is about to begin." ”

After speaking, Taifu Lin Chaowen took the lead in saying: "In this examination, I will write a poem with the theme of farewell, and the time limit is a stick of incense. ”

As soon as these words came out, several princes suddenly became sad.

This question is very simple for ordinary people, but it is a little difficult for several princes.

They have lived in the palace since their birth, and few have experienced a send-off.

Not to mention that in terms of their status, there are few people worthy of their farewell.

Taifu Lin Chaowen couldn't help but smile when he saw that several princes were stumped by this question.

But immediately, he was motioned by Xu Hanwen, the master next to him, to look at Li Ming.

I saw that Li Ming at this time was not at all like the sad faces of the princes next to him, but stared at the soles of his feet in a daze with all kinds of boredom.

"Ugh..."

Seeing this, Taifu Lin Chaowen couldn't help but sigh softly.

As the Taifu, that is, the prince's teacher, Lin Chaowen has been teaching Li Ming for many years, and he also has feelings for him.

Originally, I didn't want to replace Li Ming, the prince, at first, but in the end, for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, I still agreed to the examination.

And Taifu Lin Chaowen also has a good understanding of Li Ming's literary talent, and when he saw Li Ming's stunned appearance, he immediately thought that Li Ming was ready to admit defeat.

In this regard, Taifu Lin Chaowen had to secretly say in his heart: "It is not a bad thing for you to give up the position of prince early. ”

On the other side, Empress Xiao, who was sitting next to the emperor, also looked at Li Ming helplessly.

Yesterday, Li Ming told him not to worry about today's examination, she thought that Ming'er had any other preparations, so she specially came to the Taihe Hall to watch.

But who would have expected that Li Ming would stare at the soles of his feet in a daze in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the three dukes.

Seeing this, Emperor Tang on the side had no choice but to say comfortingly: "It is estimated that it is because Ming'er's illness has just improved, and he is still a little delirious." ”

As soon as the time of a stick of incense passed, the prince immediately prepared to meet the examination.

Seeing this, Taifu Lin Chaowen was preparing to choose a prince.

But suddenly, the third prince Li Qi looked at Li Mingdao, who seemed to have just come back to his senses, with a sneering face: "Brother Prince, as the crown prince and our royal brother, you will read the poems for this examination first!" ”

"That's right!"

The fifth prince, Li Zheng, was magnificent, and his voice was like a bell, and he also looked at Li Ming at this time.

The sixth prince, Li Yi, also looked at Qin Fan with a confident smile on his face at this time and said, "Brother Crown Prince, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this poem should not be difficult for you." ”

Although the eighth prince Li Yu did not speak, he still aimed his gaze at Li Ming.

As soon as several princes said this, the officials and emperors and empresses of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but look at Li Ming.

"Huh, just him?"

"What poetry can he make, haha!"

In the main hall, I don't know who let out a few sneers.

Seeing this, Queen Xiao in front of the palace immediately said with some unbearability: "Ming'er, or..."

Although Empress Xiao didn't finish speaking, everyone knew what it meant.

At this time, Li Ming didn't seem to notice it, smiled confidently, and stepped forward under the gaze of everyone.

That's what I thought of stumped him?

Joke!

In the memory of his previous life, any song he picks out is a masterpiece!

"I thought that you should wait to speak first, lest you have no shame to say it as soon as my verses come out.

But since you are so sorry, I will live up to expectations. ”

A sneer rose at the corner of Li Ming's mouth, and he slowly spoke:

"Thousands of miles of yellow clouds and daylight, the north wind blows geese and snow.

Don't worry about the road ahead, no one in the world knows you. ”

Now!

In the hall, there was silence.

Everyone is immersed in the pride of the sentence 'Don't worry about the road ahead, no one in the world knows you'.

Several other princes looked a little confused.

This is a poem made by the royal brother they have always looked down on?

"Impossible... Impossible..."

Li Qi's face was frightened, his eyes were staring, he couldn't believe his ears!

This, this, this waste has made such a poem full of pride?!

How can it be?!

Tang Emperor Li Tianmin, who was on the throne, was also stunned, and looked at Li Ming in a daze, a little incredulous.

Is this really a poem made by his own son?

Didn't Taifu say that his son was not knowledgeable enough and his literary talent was not strong?

How do you make such a hand-me-down verse now?

The Taifu Lin Chaowen in the main hall was also looking at each other with the Taishi Xu Hanwen and the Prime Minister Wang Qingzhi at this time.

The three of them opened their mouths and looked at each other.

They all saw surprise in each other's eyes.

"Good poetry!!"

The one who is most willing to believe in Li Ming is naturally the queen mother who loves him the most.

Empress Xiao's face was full of excitement, and her eyes were full of appreciation for Li Ming!

Li Ming saw that the queen mother was so happy, and he was also a little happy and said to the palace: "Thank you for the praise of the queen mother!" ”

Just as Li Ming was enjoying this joy, an uncomfortable voice suddenly came from the hall.

"Impossible, impossible!"

After the third prince Li Qi shouted with anger on his face, he immediately said: "Li Ming, you will never make such poems, you must be cheating, someone told you the topic in advance, and then you found someone to write it on your behalf." ”

As soon as these words came out, Queen Xiao, who was still happy, suddenly turned pale.
