Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 792
Long face?
Li Qinzai was a little surprised, but not surprised after thinking about it carefully.

"The Preface to the Pavilion of the King of Teng" has a status in the history of Chinese literature, and it is indeed worthy of "the first parallel prose through the ages".

To express feelings with scenery, under the most gorgeous rhetoric, pile up the real life experience and unyielding will, it is the poem of the lonely, and it is also the speech of the underappreciated.

Only after Li Qinzai's modification and polishing, the original work was originally a nostalgia for the author himself, which was passed on to King Teng.

Therefore, this parallel essay is considered to be written by Li Qinzai in gratitude to King Teng's encounter. Not only did he resonate with King Teng, but the literati in Chang'an City were also deeply shocked by Li Qinzai's literary talent.

The sky is a lesson, when Li Qinzai wrote this article, he didn't have the slightest thought of becoming famous. His original intention was purely to please his future father-in-law.

Isn't it reasonable to give the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" to King Teng?

Countless people knew that Li Qinzai had never been to Hongzhou at all, and that Tengwang Pavilion was just a piece of foundation, but no one thought it was a bug.

When a literati writes an article, he does not have to go to the scene to enjoy the scenery before he can write it. Many descriptions of the scenery in the article can be based on the author's own imagination.

For example, in the later "Yueyang Tower", Fan Zhongyan had never been to Yueyang Tower when he wrote this article. The so-called "Baling Victory" described in it all came from Fan Zhongyan's imagination. Who would dare to believe it?

The reason why "talent" is so precious is because it... is really precious, most of it depends on talent, God rewards food, and those who don't have it really don't have it. There is no other way than envy.

Therefore, Li Qinzai, who has never been to Hongzhou and never seen the Pavilion of King Teng, was able to write the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" in Chang'an City. Isn't this a normal operation?

Li Siwen came here today to praise his son on purpose. In the past, whether Li Qinzai had made great contributions to the country or made so many gadgets, to Li Siwen, this article was not as important as this article.

The rare smiling face of his own father made Li Qinzai feel very strange, but at the same time he was a little scared.

The smile is too ugly, don't laugh next time, I am more familiar with the father who chased and killed his son with sticks and sticks all over the yard when he disagreed with each other.

"Father praised it...ha," Li Qinzai said in a low tone, "I just wrote it on a whim, and that article has already been sent to His Royal Highness Teng Wang."

Li Siwen hummed, then squinted at him: "His Royal Highness Prince Teng hasn't let go yet?"

"Ah? Oh, so what..." Li Qinzai's face turned pale: "As long as you are sincere, gold and stone are the best. I think His Highness will agree to me and the county magistrate of Jinxiang sooner or later. After all, I am a great talent as his good son-in-law." , it is also a matter of saving face for him."

Li Siwen snorted: "The old man and your grandfather have both taken action in this matter, but they can only help here. After all, you are a married man. The hurdle in King Teng's heart is hard to overcome. The old man and your grandfather can only help you." Pretend you don’t know anything, or you’ll be a bit shameless.”

"Yes, the child understands."

"Think of ways to please King Teng. Since you have made up your mind to marry the county magistrate of Jinxiang home, don't be afraid of being wronged. In the future, the father-in-law's anger will be what you deserve."

Li Qinzai smiled.

It is a courtesy to please King Teng. After all, he is Jinxiang's father, but there should be a measure of ingratiation. The biggest thing Li Qinzai can do to please King Teng is to fund the construction of the Tengwang Pavilion for him, and that is enough.

If you pay more, it will be like licking the dog. Li Qinzai doesn't want to get used to King Teng's bad habits. After all, he knows that King Teng is not a good man and a faithful woman, and he has done a lot of things that push his nose and face.

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Zhi and Empress Wu put their heads together, and in front of them was the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", which was copied by the servants in the palace.

The two of them had read it countless times, and Li Zhi was overwhelmed by the literary talent of this parallel prose countless times. Even Empress Wu's eyes sparkled with admiration.

"How did Li Jingchu develop his mind? I thought he was just good at arithmetic, but I didn't expect that his writing skills are amazing and admirable." Li Zhi sighed.

Empress Wu also had to nod with a smile and said: "As expected of a genius in the world, capable of writing and martial arts, he can rule the army when he is on horseback, and write articles when he is off horseback. He is a leader in the world for every kind of thing. It is a blessing for His Majesty to have this talent."

After speaking, Empress Wu sighed secretly, and a trace of disappointment flashed across her eyes.

It would be great if such a talent could be used by oneself.

Pointing to a sentence above the article, Empress Wu said softly: "'Qu Jiayi is in Changsha, there is no holy master; if Liang Hong is in Haiqu, there is no time for it?" I don't want to praise you."

Li Zhi nodded frequently, and said with a look of color on his face: "Jing Chu's words are correct. Who said that there is no holy master in the world? It's just that the talented person himself didn't understand the situation and grasped the opportunity. In the final analysis, such a talented person has Talent is limited, and if it is used in the community, it may not necessarily achieve success."

Empress Wu deeply agrees that although the husband and wife have been fighting each other for half their lives, it has to be said that after all, they are people who share the same bed. In terms of basic three views, the husband and wife are quite congenial.

"Your Majesty, my concubine heard that Li Jingchu's article was written for King Teng, so the feelings of being unappreciated in the article were also written for King Teng. Could it be that Li Jingchu is building momentum for King Teng and wants His Majesty to use him again?" Empress Wu's eyes flashed move.

Li Zhi was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Last year in the Bingzhou Road Administration, I saw the officials below report that Uncle Teng's performance was remarkable, the honor of noble clansmen, eating and living with officials, workers and craftsmen, what is Uncle Wang's strategy?" , I don’t know, but judging from his performance, it seems that there are merits.”

Empress Wu covered her mouth with a smile, and said: "It just so happened that the British government recommended Uncle Teng Wang to assist Li Jingchu in promoting the cultivation of sweet potatoes. Your majesty may wish to see his performance again. If you do not disappoint your majesty this time, you will still be entrusted with some important tasks in the future. Talented people are obliterated in the world without a name."

Li Zhi nodded, read the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" again, and then sighed: "Good article! The talent of Jingchu, I respect him."

Immediately, Li Zhi paused, and said: "King Teng won this wonderful article, hasn't he let go of Li Jingchu? How can Uncle Teng be dissatisfied with getting such a good son-in-law? A married man is nothing, my Tang Dynasty Do you have to stick to these customary etiquette? To be honest, I want to marry a princess to Jing Chu."

Empress Wu smiled bitterly and said: "After all, she is the daughter of the clan and the honor of the county lord. Even though King Teng's heart is loose, but etiquette comes first, King Teng dare not agree easily."

Li Zhi thought for a while, and said: "This matter has been dragged on for so long, and it should be completely resolved. Jing Chu has the courage to write this wonderful article, and I will help him if he has the confidence."

Li Zhiyang said in a loud voice: "Come here, the county master of Xuanjin Township enters the palace."
