Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

Chapter 1159: Li Shimin who gloats over others’ misfortunes

The little things between Wang Kui and Cui Geng should naturally be resolved between them.

At this time, Li Daozong stood up, looked at Li Shimin with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, I got a poem last night, and I think this poem will be passed down through the ages."

When Li Daozon said this, the civil officials, led by Kong Yingda, were extremely disdainful in their hearts, but they did not show it.

Li Shimin looked at Li Dao Zong curiously. He knew that Li Dao Zong and the princess went out for a stroll last night and met that boy by chance in the East Market.

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon throne, smiled and asked, "Oh, then let me read it to you. Let you appreciate it."

Li Dao Zong turned around and looked at the civil and military officials with a smile: "The grape wine is in the luminous cup, and the pipa music is urging me to drink. Don't laugh at me sleeping drunk on the battlefield, how many people have ever returned from the battles in history." Then Li Dao Zong turned around, looked at Li Er and said: "Your Majesty, I have finished reading."

Li Shimin sat on the dragon throne and listened to the whole poem. He patted the dragon head excitedly and said, "What a good poem! What a good poem! Don't laugh at me sleeping drunk on the battlefield! How few men have ever returned from the battles in history?"

At this time, Kong Yingda and others from the civil service group stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this person is very knowledgeable. If possible, you can invite him to the Imperial College."

Cheng Yaojin immediately cursed: "Haha, you guys are a bunch of sour scholars. I don't even want to have anything to do with you."

Li Daozon winked at Cheng Yaojin. After all, they were both military generals.

Li Shimin, sitting on the dragon throne, asked again: "My dear, do you know who wrote this poem?" In fact, he had some guesses in his mind, but he was not sure, after all, this poem was really a classic.

"Your Majesty, this poem was written by Duke Xian, Zheng Jiangci." Li Daozon smiled.

Li Shimin was so happy that he thought, "My daughter, your father has found a good home for you."

"Your Majesty, I received a couplet yesterday. I think it is absolutely perfect." Li Daozon said again.

"Oh, then tell me about it quickly." Li Shimin became interested.

Li Dao Zong looked at Kong Yingda and began to speak: "Riding a strange horse, holding a long bow, the eight great kings of zither, harp and pipa are on top, fighting with a single spear. I believe everyone knows this couplet, which is the masterpiece of Kong Yingda, the chief priest of the Imperial College."

Several civil servants who were on good terms with Kong Yingda were so happy that they almost flew off. Praising Kong Yingda was not the same as praising them.
Only Wei Zheng thought to himself, "I'm afraid someone has already figured out the couplet, otherwise Li Dao Zong wouldn't have said it so interestingly."

Kong Yingda raised his neck as high as a swan. He smiled proudly and said modestly, "It's just average, just average." Facing the gazes of the ministers, he had no choice but to do so.

But Li Daozon's next words almost made Kong Yingda fall down.

"Everyone, listen carefully. The second line I heard is, pretending to be a human, wearing dragon clothes, the four little ghosts of ghosts and monsters invade the border, and they can be caught by joining hands." Li Daozong looked at Kong Yingda's shocked expression and asked, "Master Kong, I wonder if this second line suits your taste."

"It's so perfect, it's absolutely right, the zither, the pipa, the eight kings, the king above all, ghosts and goblins, the four little ghosts, and the ghosts invading the border, this match is so perfect." Fang Xuanling said with great admiration.

Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Zhangsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong, and others all nodded.

Kong Yingda couldn't believe it was true. After all, when he wrote the couplet, he hadn't thought of the second line. Now someone had come up with it, and it was so neat.

Li Shimin knew about the couplet, so he sat on the dragon chair and asked with a smile: "My dear, was this couplet also written by Duke Xian?" Li Dao Zong smiled and said: "Indeed, Duke Xian also wrote the first couplet and gave the former owner of Wangjiang Tower three days. If he can't find a match, then Wangjiang Tower will naturally belong to him."

"How arrogant! Do you think we are here to eat and do nothing?" This was said by a civil servant, who thought he was well-read and had dabbled in the Four Books and Five Classics, so he must be no bad at writing couplets.

"In that case, you'd better listen carefully. The first line of the couplet is: Wangjiang Tower, looking at the river flow, from Wangjiang Tower looking at the river flow, the river tower is eternal, the river flow is eternal." After reading it, Li Daozon stopped talking.

Li Xiaogong said with a smile: "Master Kong, you still have three days to think about it. I hope you can teach this kid a lesson and let him know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Otherwise, his tail will be lifted up to the sky."

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, said with a smile: "What the Prince of Hejian said makes sense. We should temper that kid's character, hit his confidence, and make him less proud and complacent. Well, this matter will be handed over to the gentlemen of the Imperial College."

Li Xiaogong knew that the couplet was absolute, and just by opening his mouth, "Wangjiang Tower", it was absolute. Such a masterpiece that fits the occasion, the Imperial College is nothing.

Kong Yingda's frown could kill a row of flies.
But I have no clue.

Wei Zheng knew Zheng Zhengjin's talent, otherwise he would not have praised Empress Changsun in a poem the first time he saw her. She is a beauty that is pleasing to the eyes. Her beauty is stunning and astonishing to the world. Moreover, he wrote the poem in one go without any pause.

Wei Zheng looked at the group of people in the Imperial College and thought that they were almost going bald from worrying themselves. He felt like laughing for some reason.

Li Shimin then discussed with other officials whether some benevolent policies could be implemented. After all, the people had just experienced a war and they really hoped that they could recuperate.

Pei Ji and Rongyang Zheng began to wonder when the Duke of Xian, Zheng Jiang, would come to visit them. This would make it easier for them to control the situation.

After the court was dismissed, as soon as he walked out of the hall, Li Daozong came to Zheng Renji, put his arm around Zheng Renji's shoulder, and teased, "Sir Zheng, do you know that your daughter blushed last night because someone praised her?"

"Ah, Your Majesty, I didn't know about this!" Zheng Renji cursed in his heart at this moment, what a pervert it was.

"In Badong there is Wushan, with the graceful face of a goddess. Wow, it's incredible." Li Daozon sighed.

Li Xiaogong was behind Li Daozong and said, "Uncle Wang, should we go to the Duke of Xian's mansion today? My goodness, after eating the food there, I can't swallow the food made in my own mansion."

"It's unfortunate today. I have a lot of troubles to deal with in the Ministry of Justice, so I won't go." Since Li Daozon was not going, Li Xiaogong was naturally embarrassed to go alone.

As the court was dismissed, everyone went back to their homes.

Only the people of the five surnames and seven families found a restaurant to discuss the matter of how the Cui family had cheated the Wang family.

At this moment, after Li Shimin left the court, he returned to the harem with a big laugh. What happened today could make him laugh for the whole day. After all, Wang Kui's nickname of green-haired turtle was unavoidable.

When Li Shimin first arrived at the harem, he established the Zheng Palace.
Empress Changsun smiled and stood up to salute, saying, "Your Majesty, I greet you. What is it that makes you so happy today?"

However, Li Leyan, Li Lizhi, Princess Yuzhang, and others behind Empress Changsun all bowed respectfully to Li Shimin and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father." (End of this chapter)
