Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 460 Writing Poems

Sometimes, in order to achieve one's own goals, threats are naturally necessary.

Although Li Shimin has seen many threats to people, but this is the first time he has seen Xiang Gaoming who threatens God.

So Li Shimin was dumbfounded at this moment.

What do you mean by "If it doesn't rain for three days, you will first smash the Dragon Emperor Temple, and then bombard your mother with cannons"?
You know, he, Li Shimin, is known as the Son of Heaven to the outside world, which means the son of God, and someone like Gao Ming can only be regarded as the grandson of God at best.

Then this grandson dared to threaten his grandpa, saying that if it doesn't rain within three days, he will bombard his mother.

Damn, it's just insane!
Just when Li Shimin was about to teach a lesson to Gao Ming, an unfilial son who didn't respect God, suddenly there was a "bang" thunder in the sky, and then it began to rain lightly.

At this moment, Li Shimin was stunned.

"It rained right after I finished speaking, even if it's a coincidence, isn't it too coincidental?"

He looked up at the sky, and suddenly felt like pointing at the sky and beating and scolding three times.

Since he ascended the throne, although every time he offered sacrifices to the heavens, he was respectful, but the gods were very disrespectful. It was either locust plagues, droughts, floods or snow disasters. In the past ten years, less than half of the years have been smooth.

But look at this kid Gao Ming, he threatened and scolded him, and it really rained, which made Li Shimin feel inexplicably sad and indignant.

"Although I didn't pay much attention just now, my attitude is considered respectful anyway, but you didn't make any movement at all. Now this grandson came up to threaten and scold you, and it rained on you in the end. Are you cheap?"

Although Li Shimin was very upset at the moment, he still had to do what he should do. Seeing the increasing rain, he immediately knelt down towards the incense table.

As the son of heaven, Li Shimin had very few opportunities to kneel down, even if he worshiped Confucius, he would not kneel down, at most he would bow and he would be done.

But offering sacrifices to heaven is different. Although Li Shimin was upset at this time, he had to kneel down respectfully and bow three times to the incense table even though many people were watching.

Seeing Li Shimin knelt down, hundreds of people who followed him immediately chanted "Heaven has spirits" and knelt down on the ground with a "plop plop plop".

Gao Ming looked at the rain-soaked ground, and at the people kneeling on the ground, gritted his teeth and knelt down, still muttering.

"These people below are really not good at doing things, and they don't know how to prepare a few more cushions. There are so many stones on the ground, and my knees hurt..."

Li Shimin was kneeling next to him, and almost fell to the ground when he heard his grunt.

"This guy has such an attitude after begging for rain, does he really think that God owes him?"

The limelight of offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for rain was completely robbed by Gao Ming. Even though Li Shimin was determined, he also felt somewhat lacking in interest.

After getting up, he asked people to clean up the incense table, and then led everyone down the mountain.

After Gao Ming and the others left Mount Tai, the rain stopped, which immediately aroused the amazement of all the officials, and some even shouted "Mount Tai has a spirit".

But Gao Ming showed disdain on his face.

"The showers around Qingming didn't last long, so there's nothing strange about it."

In fact, Gao Ming just wanted to leave early, but many times things were unsatisfactory, such as now.

After the rain stopped, the scenery became much clearer and green everywhere. This made Li Shimin feel much better. He immediately twirled his beard and laughed.

"Haha, now that the new rain has passed, the scenery is pleasant. If you love me, whoever has a good sentence, you can sing it!"

As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, the surrounding ministers' eyes suddenly became scorching.

Obviously, this is a rare opportunity to perform. As long as he can take advantage of this opportunity to leave a good impression on Li Shimin, his career path will be smoother in the future.

But the officials also knew that it was not a good thing to be the first to show up at this time, and it was easy to leave an impression of "crazy" on Li Shimin, so no one spoke for a while.

Li Shimin is also an "old Jianghu", so he naturally knew what the officials were thinking, so he suddenly smiled.

"In that case, let me..."

Li Shimin originally planned to say "Let me come first", but when he turned his eyes, he saw Gao Ming who was looking around and absent-minded.

So he got angry, and he changed the words that came to his lips.

"Then let my prince compose a poem first!"

"Uh……"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming was stunned.

Why is it me again?
Seeing Li Shimin's threatening eyes, Gao Ming blinked his mouth immediately.

"Tsk... It's actually not difficult to write a poem, but I don't have any inspiration today, why not another day..."

Before Gao Ming finished speaking, Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"Hmph! Don't come here with me, today you have to write a poem with Mount Tai as the theme, otherwise don't leave!"

"..."

Seeing Li Shimin's unfriendly expression, Gao Ming was very dissatisfied.

"Threat me? Do you think I'll take your set? Let me tell you, I... well, I'll take this set."

Thinking of this, he immediately sighed, then looked up at Mount Tai in the distance.

At this moment, a "divine poem" suddenly popped up in Gao Ming's mind, and he immediately slapped his hands.

"Yes, I want to make a seven-character quatrain called "You Taishan". Listen carefully!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming immediately put his hands on his back, and then narrowed his eyes.

"Looking at Mount Tai from a distance, it looks black and dark, the top is thinner and the bottom is thicker..."

When Gao Ming read this, Li Shimin suddenly had a warning sign in his heart.

"No, this kid wants to do something!"

However, it was too late when Li Shimin realized this, Gao Ming had already turned his gaze away from Mount Tai in the distance, and then smiled at everyone.

"If you turn Mount Tai upside down, the lower end is thinner than the upper end is thicker."

Li Shimin: "..."

Officials: "(⊙o⊙)..."

Gao Ming's "Tour to Mount Tai" is actually a doggerel written by Zhang Zongchang, nicknamed "General of the Five Poisons".

This guy Zhang Zongchang can be regarded as a joker who was delayed by the warlord career. In Gao Ming's heart, except for "the moonlight in front of the bed" is "funny than Zhang Zongchang", his poem Gao Ming only read it once Just remember.

There is no doubt that the power of this poem is also very great. As soon as this poem came out, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

At this time, all the officials present had no intention of composing poems. In their opinion, if they made a poem better than Gao Ming's, it would be a waste of money if they were hated by the prince Gao Ming.

But if they made this poem worse, they felt that they couldn't bear this face, so for a while, all the officials present were afraid to make a sound.

Li Shimin also noticed this, he immediately snorted coldly, and then walked forward without looking back.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming quickly shouted behind him.

"Old man, wait a minute, where are you going? Are you going back to Chang'an?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin stopped immediately, turned his head to look at Gao Ming, and then snorted again.

"Hmph! I'm going to Daming Lake, if you want to go back to Chang'an, go back first!"

After finishing speaking, he gave Gao Ming a threatening look, as if to say, "You have to go back and see how I deal with you".

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming could only sigh helplessly.

"Oh, Daming Lake is quite far away, it seems that we can't go there for the time being!"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately shook his head.

"Since the old man is in a bad mood, I'll stay and accompany him. By the way, I'll give him some trouble and fight poison with poison. Maybe it will make him feel different happiness."
