Chapter 64 Forced "Look, Your Highness!"
Li Shimin was drinking wine in boredom, no matter how pleasant the singing and dancing below was, he had no interest in enjoying it.
In contrast, his elder brother had a great time talking with all the ministers.
Just when he was about to find a reason to leave, he heard his uncle, eldest grandson Wuji, calling him.
"What's wrong?" Li Shimin asked wearily.
"Yeah! What's wrong with brother?" The eldest grandson Wugou, the concubine at the side, also asked curiously.
"Your Highness, look over there, is that kid from General Cheng's family?" Changsun Wuji pointed to Cheng Chusi who was standing with Ji Song.
Li Shimin didn't think much after hearing the words, and looked in the direction Changsun Wuji pointed.
When he saw Cheng Chusi standing by the prince's side, his expression changed, what did he think of? He didn't speak, though, and continued : As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to live in, so what's so strange about it! "Hey! Isn't that Brother Song? Why is he here?" Just when Li Shimin was lost, he hurriedly looked after hearing Princess Qin's words.
"It's really Brother Song!" Li Shimin said with some relief when he saw Ji Song talking with Cheng Chusi.
He was a little ashamed of the suspicion just now, the relationship between Cheng Yaojin and Qin Wangfu is a relationship of mutual prosperity, there is no reason to vote for the prince, even if he goes, the prince will not be reused.
Changsun Wuji looked at his younger sister and Qin Wang, his head was a little dazed, he didn't know what the couple were talking about.
In the end, it was Princess Qin who didn't want to see her brother's embarrassment, and explained: "Brother Song is the boy who rescued Pingyang, and was named a county man for his meritorious service."
"It's also the one who gave us the papermaking technique!" Seeing that his brother still didn't understand, the eldest grandson Wugou continued.
"So that's it. Now Wuji understands. Just now Wuji was a little reckless and almost made a big mistake. I hope King Qin will forgive me!" Changsun Wuji is such a smart person, he immediately understood what his sister meant, and pleaded guilty to Li Shimin.
"Wuji doesn't have to be like this. If you care about it, it will cause chaos. Don't take it to heart." Li Shimin comforted him.
"promise!"
The next banquet seemed to be nothing new, after all, the imperial court had regulations, and the officials, in order not to cause accidents, were all Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, and they were tired of watching it after so many years.
Just when Li Shimin wanted to find a reason to leave, there was movement from Li Yuan, which made him feel at ease.
Li Yuan was a little bored watching the singing and dancing below, so he was bored drinking wine with the beauties.
Inadvertently, I saw the young man I saw in the Tai Chi Hall whispering to another simple and honest young man, with a smile on his face, thinking of the task given to this young man, his eyes turned to think about it.
"Clap!"
The ministers, who were admiring the bustling scene of Chang'an, heard the voice and saw that it was His Majesty signaling.
Everyone immediately turned their attention to this side, and even Ji Song was forced to stop discussing the more charming topic of the dancing girl with Cheng Chusi.
Seeing that everyone's attention is here, Li Yuan smiled with satisfaction and said, "Shangyuan Festival is one of the most important festivals of the year.
All of you sitting here are also the pillars of my Tang Dynasty, and Wen Tao Wu Lue is also the best choice.
Gathered together tonight, there are beauties to dance with, and there are delicious wine and food, but I still feel a little regretful! "
Pei Ji was a close friend of Li Yuan when he was young, and now he is one of the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan's temperament is best understood, and he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this song and dance is the top dance of my Tang Dynasty. The best imperial wine in the Tang Dynasty; this delicacy is made by the best chef in the Tang Dynasty, so what is there to regret, Your Majesty?"
"What Pei Aiqing said is correct, but as the saying goes, there is no banquet without wine and poetry. I think there are many talented people in the Tang Dynasty. You are all talented people with rich knowledge. Can you teach me?" Li Yuan pretended to be Ji Song in the distance heard this, his heart skipped a beat, knowing that he was digging a hole for now desperately hopes that Li Bai will be alive at this time and steal all the limelight, so that he can continue to be his invisible person.
But hope is beautiful, but reality is a skinny girl.
As soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, many pretentious people came forward to present poems to Li Yuan.
No matter what the poem looks like to others, in Ji Song's eyes, it is empty and boring and has nothing new.
There was even an official in his 60s or [-]s who presented an extremely explicit doggerel, which made Ji Song's goosebumps drop.
And it happened that Ji Song's scene was seen by Princess Pingyang, she had a smirk on her face, and she said something in Li Yuan's ear, which made Li Yuan look at Ji Song extremely unkindly.
Fortunately, Ji Song didn't see this scene, if he knew, he might scold Li Xiuning for something!
"I remember that a while ago there was a frontier poem that was widely circulated in Chang'an. It was said to be written by a young man. If it exists today, there must be another famous poem handed down from generation to generation." Li Yuan said regretfully.
"Your Majesty was joking. Today is a banquet for my heroes of the Tang Dynasty. How could he be there! If Your Majesty likes it, I will find him tomorrow." Pei Ji is worthy of being Pei Ji. As soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, he stepped forward to flatter him road.
"Let's not bother Mr. Pei, who said that any young man was not present?" Kong Yingda stepped forward and said when everyone was disappointed.
"Oh! Kong Qing said that he is here?" Li Yuan pretended to be surprised.
"Exactly!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Please come up soon!"
While Li Yuan was talking to Kong Yingda, Li Gang, the teacher, couldn't sit still. He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, that young man is the old minister's student, and he is by his side. Ji Song, come here soon."
"The little minister Ji Song pays his respects to His Majesty, Your Majesty Wan An!"
"Which one are you who wrote Liangzhou Ci?"
Ji Song looked at Li Yuan speechlessly, feeling helpless in his heart, but still had to cooperate well, and said, "If there is no accident, it will be the minister."
"Well, tonight, you can write a poem on the theme of the Lantern Festival and the scene in front of you. If you can satisfy me and all the ministers, you will be rewarded!" Li Yuan seemed overjoyed.
"This" Ji Song hesitated.
"What? You want to resist the edict?" Li Yuan's eyes were extremely unkind, as if he was going to say something again; if you dare to say a word of no, you are the best.
What else could Ji Song do, he said helplessly: "Your servant obeys the order!"
With Ji Song's appearance, those who sat there were more or less impressed, especially the last time Princess Pingyang made a big disturbance in the Ministry of Industry, which was widely circulated.
They either admire, or doubt, or gloat, or have bad intentions.
Ji Song completely ignored these people, bowed to Li Yuan, nodded slightly to the somewhat regretful Princess Pingyang, and then walked slowly to the crenel of the city wall.
Ji Song looked at the crowd below and the lights of Wanjia, just when everyone was getting impatient, Ji Song spoke.
