The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 408
Li Chengqian knew very well that Li Tai's attainments in poetry and poetry were definitely not much worse than that of leading soldiers in battle.

So Li You was not giving Li Tai a problem, but giving Li Tai a chance to show off.That's why Li Chengqian looked at Li You like an idiot.

However, Li Shimin was very happy about this, so he waved to Li Tai and said, "Gao Jue, since Li You suggested that you compose a poem, I wonder if you can compose a poem impromptu."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Tai smiled, stepped forward to salute Li Shimin and said, "Father, if you want to talk about the brothers and brothers present here, they are definitely outstanding people. Why don't we have a poetry competition today?" .”

"This is quite interesting. I don't know what the rules of your poetry competition are." Li Shimin also became interested, looking at Li Tai and asked.

"That is, the father will come up with a topic, and let us brothers write poems separately. Then the father will be the judge." Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"This is a good way. Whoever writes a good poem will be rewarded heavily today. Of course, if there is a prize, there will be a punishment. I will punish the loser." Li Shimin said happily.

At this moment, Li You's face already showed a troubled expression.Asking him to hunt in paddocks is a good hand, asking him to write poems and answer correctly is definitely finding the wrong person.

But after all, he came up with his own idea, so what can he do now that Li Tai has turned against him.He could only wait for his punishment with a bitter face.

"Then I ask Father to come up with a question." Li Tai said to Li Shimin with a smile.

After Li Shimin nodded, he turned around and looked at Li Yuan beside him, and then said to Li Yuan, "Father, today is the gathering of the descendants of the royal family to celebrate the New Year. With Father here, the emperor dare not ask this question."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Tai nodded involuntarily, with a very satisfied look in his eyes.Then he said happily: "In this case, Grandpa Huang will give you a question."

"Your father's literary and martial arts are well known in the world, and now he has created the rule of Zhenguan. You can use your father to write a poem."

Hearing Li Yuan's words, even Li Chengqian couldn't help being surprised.If the theme is flowers, plants, trees and scenery, it is not too difficult to write a poem that fits the occasion.

But now that Li Yuan has asked everyone to use Li Shimin as the title, then this poem is not so easy to do.

Not only Li Chengqian was surprised, even Li Ke, king of Shu, was surprised.Only Yan Wang Li You had an expression of indifference.

He is not because of how good his literary talent is, but for him, no matter what the topic is.He can't write poetry.So this topic doesn't matter to him.

Seeing his children with different expressions, although Li Shimin knew that this topic was more difficult.But still nodded and said: "Then you can write a poem with me as the topic."

"As the saying goes, seniors and young are in order, so I invite the emperor to come first." Li Tai said after waving to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was also helpless, so he could only stand up and say to Li Shimin: "Father, this impromptu poetry ability, I dare not compare with my younger brother. But this doggerel, I can say a poem."

Then Prince Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said:

The Emperor Taizong Hall was just a few years old,
The weather is smooth and safe.

Soldiers marched into Beipan to quell the rebellion,
In exchange for today's Taiping Year.

Hearing Prince Li Chengqian's poem, Li Shimin was extremely happy.So he laughed and said to Li Chengqian: "It seems that the prince's studies have improved a lot."

Li Chengqian returned to his seat, and the next one would naturally be Shu King Li Ke's turn.Li Ke stood up and saluted Li Shimin and said, "I also have a doggerel here, dedicated to my father."

Then Li Ke, king of Shu, said:
The young man was titled King of Qin,
Get on the horse and lead the army to fight against the king.

In the year of Li's reign, Zhenguan was created,
Mingjun's name will be promoted for thousands of generations.

Li Shimin was even more happy when he heard the poems written by Li Ke, king of Shu.Which dynasty or generation of kings don't want to live forever.Become a real generation of emperors.

Seeing Li Shimin's happy expression, Li Ke felt relieved.So after saluting to Li Shimin, he returned to his seat.

Then it was Li Tai's turn, and Li Tai took two steps forward in a calm manner.Then he opened his mouth and said:
The scenery of the Northland, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting.

Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there is nothing but mang and mang;

Up and down the river, suddenly lost.

The mountain dance silver snake, the original Chi wax figure, wants to compare with Tiangong test.

On sunny days, look at the red dress, which is extremely enchanting.

There are so many splendid rivers and mountains, which has attracted countless heroes.

Cherish the five tyrants and seven heroes, slightly lose literary talent;

Qin Huang Han Wu, a little less coquettish.

The proud generation of heaven, the overlord of Western Chu, slayed himself in Wujiang with hatred.

All going forward, count the romantic figures, but also look at the present.

As soon as Li Tai's poem was exported, it really shocked everyone.Even Li Shimin and Li Yuan couldn't help being dumbfounded.

This poem is majestic and covers all the ancient and modern celebrities.And the last sentence is all about the past, and the romantic people are still looking at the present.

It also shows that everyone is inferior to Li Shimin.Moreover, the whole poem does not mention any word of Li Shimin.

This poem not only greatly praised Li Shimin, but also wrote it very implicitly.This couldn't help but make Li Shimin extremely happy.

So he laughed and said: "Good poetry, good poetry. Come and get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Soon some eunuchs prepared the Four Treasures of the Study for Li Shimin, so Li Shimin picked up the pen himself and splashed ink on the rice paper.

I personally wrote down this poem written by Li Tai.Then hand it over to the eunuch for mounting.From this we can see how much Li Shimin loves this poem.

After finishing Li Tai's poem, it's time for Li You, King of Yan.Li You stood up, bowed to Li Shimin, and said, "Father, let the brothers talk about good poems and lyrics. There is nothing to say when I come to my son. I am willing to admit defeat and accept my father's words." punish."

None of the people present thought that this Li You would be so shameless.To put his own incompetence so high-sounding.

But Li Shimin was in a good mood right now, so he didn't care if Li You could make any good poems.

So he waved his hand to Li You and said: "You should learn more in normal times, so as not to be laughed at by others when you use it. Since I have already said that the loser will be punished. Then you prepare gifts and wait for your younger brothers and sisters to come to you Ask for it."

Hearing such a punishment, Yan Wang Li You became more confident.So he smiled and said to Li Shimin: "I will definitely work harder in the future, and today I am willing to suffer this punishment."

Then Li Shimin looked at Li Tai, and then said to Li Tai with a smile: "You are the winner, what kind of reward do you want?"

"Father, if the father wants to give rewards to the ministers, why not give the ministers the royal pen that the father just wrote." Li Tai said to Li Shimin.
