First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 125 Compose a Poem

...

Chang'an City was full of voices.

Outside the Chunming Gate, there was a sea of ​​people, the crowd stretched all the way to the Weishui River. Today, the army returned to the court, and Li Shimin, the second son of the Tang Dynasty, defeated the murderer Xue Ju from Xiliang.

This was the first time the King of Tang defeated a powerful enemy, and it was worthy of celebration. He immediately ordered the lifting of the curfew for three days, and held a prisoner offering ceremony outside the Chunming Gate.

Chunming Gate is located in the East Gate of Chang'an, and it is not very generous. The reason why the ceremony was held at Chunming Gate is because Tang Wang entered Beijing through Chunming Gate, and thus became king. At that time, he returned to the court from the Chunmingmen class teacher, which has far-reaching implications.

For this reason, Li Yuan specially went out of the city for three miles to meet them. The formation was huge, and the welcoming team stretched for several miles, because this was the first time the king of Tang defeated a foreign enemy.

Li Yuan originally had the support of the Guanlong family, and the support of the upper-class family. The ordinary people were taught by him, and they naturally supported Li Yuan in every possible way. What's more, after Li Yuan entered the customs, he made the twelve laws and behaved extremely kindly. It also opened up the treasury and helped the victims. With the assistance of Pei Ji, Dou Wei and other capable ministers in the world, in just a few months, the bandits were suppressed and the people were stabilized, making Guanzhong stable, and the people all applauded.

Li Yuan sat in the golden throne of the emperor, wearing a crown of twelve o'clock on his head, hoisting the emperor's banner, riding six horses, and leading the six armies behind him.

In fact, at this time, the king of Tang was only one rank away from the status of emperor. The ceremony of presenting captives was so prosperous that Yining emperor Yang You could only dwell in the East Palace of Taiji Palace, and the scope of activities was limited to a corner of the East Palace.

"Second Young Master, what do you think of my outfit?" Gao Chong leaned beside Li Shimin, shaking his shoulders, and asked in a very airy manner.

Li Shimin nodded straight after seeing it, and praised sincerely: "It looks like a person, but it's just too ostentatious."

Gao Chong's smile faltered when he heard the words, and then he shook his head and laughed when he understood: "This is a boast, I almost thought that the second son said that I am not human."

Li Shimin, Liu Hongji and the others were taken aback when they heard the words, and then they jumped forward and backward with laughter. In this era, when people praise people for their personal appearance, they mean to praise handsome and unrestrained, not to say that Gao Chong looks like a person.

"Yuzhi, you have really repaired your Yanling chain mail." Liu Hongji stepped forward and flicked Gao Chong's breastplate with his fingers and praised, "The craftsmanship is good."

Before Gao Chong heard the words, Lin Xingcan behind him laughed and said, "As soon as I entered the Great Earthquake Pass, Youzhi asked me to find a craftsman. It took five or six days to repair it, but it was not easy."

Hearing this, Liu Hongji laughed loudly, "I still think you repaired it yourself, and I think you have this skill."

Gao Chong was also a little embarrassed when he heard the words, he would not tell them that even the usual maintenance was done by his personal guards, and generals in this era usually repair and maintain their armor by themselves, after all, armor is a talisman when they go to the battlefield.

Gao Chong had seen Li Shimin maintain his armor in his tent more than once. The maintenance of this goose feather armor was extremely cumbersome. It had to be rubbed with dry fine sand to remove the embroidery marks, then brushed with grease, and then wiped with a dry cloth. He took the trouble and threw it directly to Kaohsiung and the others.

"Youzhi, you are going to get married when you return to Beijing, and you are so well dressed, do you still want to have some concubines?"

The team marched slowly, Li Shimin sat on the horse, also slowed down the horse and approached with a smile.

"Do you want me to tell my sixth sister what you think? Don't worry, my sixth younger sister is gentle and virtuous, and I will definitely not have any objections."

Gao Chong trembled when he heard that, "Second son, please don't, I don't know if Liu Niangzi has any objections, but if King Tang has an objection, or if I, Aye and Grandma, have an objection, please keep my ass blooming."

"Youzhi Heihegu became famous in the first battle, and this time he is dressed up to return home," said the personable Tang Jian shaking his head.

Everyone also nodded one after another, looking at the angry Gao Chong in fresh clothes, they also felt that they should be so flamboyant.

Coming from a famous family, the son of a prince, who became famous in one battle, shouldn't he be so youthful.

Hearing the words, Gao Chong was also excited. Ever since he repelled the powerful enemy Xue Ju, he knew that the curtain of the era will be completely opened, and the upcoming 14 years of the great cause will restart another era.

Because, the 14th year of the great cause, that is, the first year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Empire will be officially born, and the dynasty of "the palace of nine heavens will be opened and closed, and all nations will be crowned with clothes and crowns" will come soon.

"I have heard for a long time that Gao Canjun is an all-round talent in both civil and military affairs, and he is proficient in poetry and books. On the occasion of this great victory, Gao Canjun has made such great achievements at a young age. In the future, it will be no problem to be named a Marquis and Prime Minister. Why not write a poem, Let’s celebrate the first two with this scene.” Yu Zhining, who was on the side, laughed when he saw this.

Hearing this, people like Dou Jing clapped their hands and echoed, but Li Shimin frowned slightly, "Improvising poems must fit the scene, Zhong Mi, it's a bit difficult for you."

Yu Zhining waved his hands and smiled when he heard the words: "Duke Qin is overwhelmed. I have heard for a long time that the father and son of Yan Guogong are both talented and knowledgeable. They just wrote a poem. Gao Canjun must be at his fingertips."

The smile on Gao Chong's face didn't fade, and his complexion didn't change at all. He just smiled and said: "Yu Jishi has been praised. I really don't dare to be talented and knowledgeable, but I can have a bold try in poetry and poetry."

Although Gao Chong didn't know what Yu Zhining meant, he had already noticed that Yu Zhining was often vaguely hostile to him.

Yu Zhining is from the Xianbei family. His father worshiped Neishi Sheren as a Taoist official. In the 13th year of his great career, Yu Zhining became an official and served as the county magistrate of the Guan family. Recording room, assisting Li Shimin.

After entering Beijing, Gao Chong also saw Yu Zhining for the first time. Since then, Gao Chong has always felt that Yu Zhining was dissatisfied with him, or looked down on Gao Chong. In a high position, it is inevitable that some people will be jealous.

Hearing Gao Chong say this, everyone was quite surprised.

"Poetry is a small way?" Yu Zhining was shocked when he heard the words, and then shook his head and smiled, very contemptuously, "Then let's listen to the masterpiece of Yan Guogong's son."

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

"Dapeng rises with the same wind in one day and soars up to [-] miles.

……

A nun's father can still be afraid of future generations, but a husband should not be too young."

After Gao Chong thought for a while, a confident and high-spirited seven-character poem came out of his mouth. If he was asked to explain the meaning of the scriptures, he would have to search his brains and think hard, but if it was poetry, how could he blame him.

This is Yu Zhining who is more than ten years older than him. He often pretends to be an elder, and when addressing Gao's father and son with official titles, he often has a mocking tone.

Now that Gao Chong's seven-character poem comes out, it can be said to be full of high spirits. It not only expresses Ling Yun's ambition, but also gives Zhi Ning a head-on blow to the attitude of an elder.

"Good poem", Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he clapped his hands in praise: "Youzhi's poem is full of spirit, it is really impassioned and exciting",
Tang Jian also praised Nian Xu: "Father Ni can still be afraid of future generations. The future generations are awesome. Since the beginning of the army, you have broken the West River, went down to the East River, and fought to support the wind. You have made great achievements many times. Who would have thought that you were only eighteen years old. Woolen cloth".

Liu Hongji glanced at Yu Zhining, shook his head and praised: "You suffered more than ten wounds in the battle of Heihe Valley, how magnificent it is."

Yu Zhining's face darkened when he heard the words, and he just nodded stiffly and praised: "It is indeed an excellent work, a high-ranking military talent", and then silently stepped back without saying a word.
