Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 71 Gao Ming's Secret Weapon
In less than a cup of tea, Gao Ming recited the entire article, and Su Wan'er also wrote it down on rice paper in beautiful regular script.

As a result, "Humble Room Inscription" was released, more than 100 years earlier than the original. Unfortunately, the author of this article changed from Liu Yuxi to Gao Ming.

But at this time, Gao Ming didn't feel ashamed that a "literary thief" should have at all, instead he laughed triumphantly.

"Fortunately, I have endorsed the book well back then. Knowledge is indeed power, hahahaha..."

Obviously, Gao Ming has already attributed the credit to himself. In other words, Liu Yuxi has nothing to do with him since then.

After regaining his senses, Gao Ming took the rice paper from Su Wan'er's hand again, and then checked it carefully. After finding that there was nothing wrong, he handed the rice paper to Su Wan'er.

"Wan'er, I'll have someone send this article to Mr. Kong later, and say it's my new work. I hope he can comment on it."

The Lord Kong that Gao Ming said was naturally Kong Yingda, Su Wan'er knew this, but she still felt a little puzzled.

"Mr. Lang, why did you send it to Master Kong? Wouldn't it be better to send it to Father Emperor?"

In Su Wan'er's heart, Gao Ming wrote a good article and naturally sent it to Li Shimin, which would help improve his status in Li Shimin's heart, but Gao Ming shook his head seriously.

"no!"

This article was originally Gao Ming's "secret weapon" that he intended to use against Li Shimin, so it should not be exposed prematurely.

When Su Wan'er heard Gao Ming said no, she didn't ask any more questions, and went down to work after she agreed.

In the afternoon of the same day, the rice paper with the "Humble Room Inscription" was sent to the Confucian Mansion and directly handed over to Kong Yingda.

"A new article written by His Royal Highness?"

After learning that it was Gao Ming's new work, Kong Yingda immediately became interested and couldn't wait to start reading it.

"If the mountain is not high, it will be famous if there are immortals. If the water is not deep, there will be spirit if there are dragons. This is a humble room..."

After reading it like this, Kong Yingda's eyes widened in surprise. He found that the article not only had profound meaning, but also rhymed very well. It was catchy to read, and he finished reading the whole article in one breath.

After Kong Yingda finished reading this article, he immediately slapped his thigh, stroked his beard, and burst out laughing.

"Okay! What a 'this is a humble room, but my virtue', what a 'what a shabby existence', yes, it's really great. If such a good article can be shared with friends, it will be a great joy in life. Ha ha ha ha!"

He stood up laughing, and shouted loudly.

"Come on, prepare a sedan."

"Yes!"

If it is a good poem that Kong Yingda usually encounters, Kong Yingda usually sends someone to send an invitation to invite friends to appreciate it together, but this time it is different, because this article was written by Gao Ming, and Gao Ming is his student, So he couldn't wait.

After the servants prepared the sedan chair, Kong Yingda got on the sedan chair with this article, and then went straight to Yu Zhining's mansion.

And when Yu Zhining read this "Humble Room Inscription", he was also very surprised.

"Good article, this is a good article no less than "Ai Lian Shuo", His Royal Highness was able to write two such good articles in a row within a month, it seems that I underestimated him at the beginning. "

Seeing Yu Zhining with a surprised face, Kong Yingda laughed again.

"Although I did not underestimate His Highness the Crown Prince, according to the current situation, I still underestimated him, Zhong Mi, have you forgotten the "Gao Ming Conversation with Rhymes"?"

As soon as Kong Yingda finished speaking, Yu Zhining sighed.

"Oh, how could I forget, before you came, I was still talking about that pair with some friends!"

Hearing Yu Zhining's words, Kong Yingda suddenly showed a strange expression.

"Could it be that the pair you're talking about is the 'Smokelock Pond Willow'?"

As soon as Kong Yingda finished speaking, Yu Zhining suddenly showed a wry smile.

"Aside from this, there is nothing else. From my point of view, apart from His Royal Highness, I am afraid that no one can be right."

Hearing Yu Zhining's words, Kong Yingda shook his head.

"It's hard to say. In my opinion, His Highness the Crown Prince deliberately used this match to embarrass the eldest grandson. Maybe he can't tell the truth."

Speaking of this, Kong Yingda immediately smiled at Yu Zhining again.

"If you don't believe Zhong Mi, you can ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

When Yu Zhining heard his words, he immediately showed emotion, but he reacted quickly, pointed at Kong Yingda and laughed.

"If His Royal Highness has a second couplet, wouldn't I be the one who is ashamed? I almost fell for your tricks. Since you don't believe it, why don't you ask His Royal Highness!"

Kong Yingda was exposed by Yu Zhining on the spot, but she was not annoyed. After a "hehe" smile, she pointed to the rice paper in Yu Zhining's hand.

"I'm not here today to talk about couplets with you. Look at how well-written this "Humble Room Inscription" is. It would be a pity if it was buried. Why don't we send invitations together and invite a few friends to appreciate it together? What do you think, Mi?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhining nodded without hesitation.

"Very good, let's do it!"

After the two of them made up their minds, they began to write the invitation.

Kong Yingda, as a great Confucian in the world, has a very great influence. Although Yu Zhining's influence is not as good as Kong Yingda, he also knows some well-known literati. "Ming" was spread in the literati circle.

And Gao Ming's reputation has also become louder. Almost all the literati in Chang'an know that the prince of the Tang Dynasty wrote a "Humble Room Inscription" in addition to "Ai Lian Shuo" and "Gao Ming's Conversation with Rhymes".

Therefore, in addition to the two advantages of "talent" and "noble character", Gao Ming has a few more advantages such as "frugality", "strength", and "open-mindedness". Be an example.

As a result, Gao Ming's reputation among scholars soared. Everyone was happy that Datang had such an outstanding prince, and at the same time, they also had some dissatisfaction with Li Shimin.

What is a shabby room?
A shabby house is a broken house!
Datang has such a "talented", "noble character", and such a "virtuous" prince, you, the emperor, let him live in a dilapidated house, is it plausible?
As the "voice box" of Shilin, the officials naturally had to stand up at this time, so when they went to the morning court, they immediately jumped out and began to persuade Li Shimin sincerely.

Their general intention was to tell Li Shimin that it was a blessing for the Tang Dynasty to have such a good prince as Gao Ming, so treat him well, not abuse him, let alone let him live in a dilapidated house, otherwise it will hurt the hearts of scholars all over the world etc.

Li Shimin was immediately dumbfounded by the words, and it took him a long time to react.

"Didn't I just deduct some money from him? When did I let him live in a broken house?"

Seeing Li Shimin's bewildered face, at this moment, the officials at the bottom of the court presented the copied "Humble Room Inscription".

After reading this article, the corners of Li Shimin's eyes and mouth twitched seriously.

Cheating!
