Early Tang Dynasty Concubine

Chapter 102 Fighting Poetry [Part [-]]

Li Shimin is very depressed now, originally he wanted to pay Cheng Churui, but he never thought that he didn't get the things, and now he is making himself hard to get off.Speaking of this matter, he also has his own difficulties—too many wives.

The reason is that Li Xiuning is showing off with perfume around these days. This is also Cheng Churui's request. The more she shows off, the better. After showing off, of course, some will be given away, and there are not many gifts. They are given to the wives of some ministers and her own sisters. .Only it was not given to Li Shimin's daughter-in-law, including the eldest grandson empress.

If it was someone else, it would be too late to curry favor with Li Shimin. The problem is that this person is not an ordinary person, but Li Shimin's mother, brother and sister. Now Li Shimin would not attack Jie Xiuning even if he attacked anyone. Otherwise, Li Shimin, the throne, would really be I can't sit still.

The daughter-in-law wanted it, but he had no money, and the family refused to give it away. Li Shimin felt that he was aggrieved by being the throne.If all women love beauty, Empress Changsun is no exception. Just yesterday she met several wives, and these wives exude a faint fragrance, which makes people linger.After inquiring about it, I heard that it was sent by Li Xiuning. Empress Changsun is so smart, if she didn't give it to herself, it means that Li Xiuning and Li Shimin are still vomiting.

As the mother of a country, Empress Changsun, of course she can set an example. She will not ask Li Xiuning for it. This is related to her husband's face. From the bottom of her heart, she really wants it, she wants it very much.She can take care of herself, Li Shimin's problem is not just his wife, Sangong Sixth Court, the 72 concubine is not a joke.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be today's game, especially after hearing that Cheng Churui met the Supreme Emperor, Li Shimin set up this game. He thought this kid would be able to open his mind, but now it seems that the other party is also an iron cock.

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask your sister about this matter. As long as you open your mouth, I think she will definitely give you a word! You also know that I am afraid of guilt, and Xiuning at home has the final say." Cheng Churui chuckled, why did he feel so happy seeing Li Shimin eating turtles.

Li Shimin looked at Cheng Churui wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, if he didn't know if the boy was injured, he would give him another hundred bucks now.He found that this kid was as annoying as Wei Zheng.

"If I can open my mouth, I will call you." Li Shimin thought helplessly and angrily, but if he didn't get this perfume, he would have a hard time in front of these concubines in the future.Although the emperor is machismo, the more machismo the more he cares about face.

"Hehehe! Chu Rui, how long has it been since you came to the palace, the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming today, how about we play a game?" Show it on your face.He only shows what he wants you to see.

Cheng Churui didn't know why at first, but now that the emperor is interested, he couldn't refute it, and said: "Yes! Since the emperor has such a taste, Chu Rui can play it. I don't know what kind of game the emperor wants to play?"

"Hahaha, when it comes to the Shangyuan Festival, I can express my envy for Chu Rui. Every capital is a sentence handed down from generation to generation. Now those talented scholars outside are following your example. If you were not promised to Pingyang, your family is now It is estimated that they were all suppressed by the media protectors. It is interesting to think about it!"

"It's all a casual work, so why should it be so flattering." Although Cheng Churui was modest, Li Shimin was very upset by his frightening little eyes.

"Well, when I came back that day, I told the queen and others that they didn't believe me. Let's play a game today. In this hundred gardens, take flowers as the theme. You come to write poems. If you satisfy us, I will satisfy you for a while." The condition cannot be too much. If you can't finish it, you can give my concubines some perfume!"

Originally, Cheng Churui had made up his mind here, and Cheng Churui already laughed in his heart. Considering that he is familiar with three hundred Tang poems, this trivial matter is not a big deal, but this face is indeed very embarrassed, expressing a guilty conscience: "Your Majesty, you are not embarrassing. Well, writing poetry requires inspiration, I..."

"On that day, Churui said it casually, and it was a good sentence. Why don't you give me the face of being the emperor, it's just a small game, can't you play this?" Use power to oppress people!

"Well, let me talk about my conditions first? I want to open a market at the intersection of Zhuangzi Foreign Minister An Dongmen less than a hundred miles away, which happens to be on the edge of the Princess Mansion. You know, this It is very far away from Chang'an City to buy needles and threads, and it is troublesome to sell some vegetables there, so I thought about opening a small market near there.

Firstly, it is convenient for your own Zhuangzi, and secondly, several nearby Zhuangzi can also communicate with each other. What you lack and what I lack can be exchanged with each other, so why not do it.It’s just that it’s a traffic artery, so I’ll have to ask you to agree to open a workshop there. I originally thought about it in a few days, but since we’re playing a game today, I’ll bring it up, you see…”

Li Shimin thought for a while, but he didn't figure out what Cheng Churui was going to do?Just like what Cheng Churui said, there are many squares outside. According to the meaning, that place is close to the main road into Chang'an, and the location is the intersection of four Zhuangzi. He wants a decree, a piece of public land.It is not a difficult task, and it is indeed beneficial to the people.

"On this matter, if you can win, I will do it!" Li Shimin nodded.

"That's fine! Your Majesty, let's set a question! How about this, Your Majesty, you set a question, and the Empress and several concubines will each give a question. If Chu Rui's answer satisfies everyone, I will count as a small win. If not, then I will count as a small victory." lost!"

"Hahaha, Chu Rui is so confident, so how about I make a teacher first, and just use peony as the theme?" It is said that people in Tang Dynasty like peony, which is true.

"Your Majesty, you let me do this. A few days ago, I really felt the peony flowers bloom and wrote a few peony poems. Zhenghua took this opportunity to let everyone comment: the peony in front of the court is invincible, and the flowers on the pond are pure and unfeeling. Only The peony is truly a national color, and the capital moves when it blooms.”

As soon as this poem came out, Li Shimin regretted it. He also felt that the title he had written was too simple. The peony flower can be said to be the national flower of the Tang Dynasty, so many poems will be passed down every time the flowers bloom. For Cheng Churui Can a man not compose two poems?It's just that this poem is really impeccable.

"Only the peony is truly national, and the capital moves when it blooms." "National beauty" refers to the most beautiful woman in a country in the Tang Dynasty.It is used here as a metaphor for peony, expressing the extraordinary beauty of peony. Although the word "true" is an adverb, it strengthens the tone; "Only" is a unique choice, which enhances the weight of appreciation, echoes the above two sentences, and contains the reason why such a unique choice is made. After a careful comparison, the meaning of the status of "it must be this" was confirmed.After such a good evaluation and high-level generalization, we will end with "Move the capital when the flowers bloom", which not only reflects the custom of the people in the capital to admire the flowers and move the city, but also sets off the attractive charm of peony flowers from the side: it is precisely because It has an admirable "national beauty", which makes the capital a sensation in the "blossom season", and people rush to tell each other, eager to enjoy it first.

In this short four-line poem, three kinds of famous flowers are written, and the poet's rich aesthetic thoughts are deeply contained in them.The poet did not forget to praise the beautiful side of peony and lotus, but he also highlighted the beauty of peony, which is endlessly interesting.As flowers and trees, it doesn't matter how high or low the style is or how much emotion there is, but the poet cleverly and vividly turns the natural beauty into artistic beauty by means of anthropomorphism and contrast, leaving an unforgettable impression on people.
