Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 54 54 A cup of tea is too short, give me a stick of incense

The meaning of the poem is also obvious.Although it is showing weakness, it is a bit playful.

In the poem, Zuo Ming admitted that he climbed the dragon and the phoenix, and also bluntly said that he was scared by the staring tiger of the Chai family and was trembling.

However, people with a discerning eye can see the carelessness in his voice at a glance.

It's not that he's afraid, it's just that he's a little annoyed.
His sarcasm was softly dismissed by Zuo Ming, and Chai Zhewei's face gradually darkened.

"It's okay if the pheasant is really scared, but if not, the tiger will open its eyes, but it will eat people!"

After a while, Chai Zhewei said coldly, and took Chai Lingwu away after speaking.

After all, this is the prince's territory, and they dare not make the atmosphere too tense.Anyway, the time is still long, as long as Zuo Ming does not leave the capital for a day, they will have a chance to teach him a lesson.

"This Chai Zhewei is really hateful! The good atmosphere has been ruined by him!"

Looking at the figures of the Chai brothers leaving, Li Lizhi wrinkled her nose and said.

"Isn't it? To say that our son climbs the dragon and attaches to the phoenix is ​​really blinding his eyes! Didn't you see that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is like a quail in front of my son? He is obviously trying to curry favor with my son, okay?"

Xiaohuan also said with pouty red lips.She was about the same age as Li Lizhi, and both of them had no taboos in speaking, but it made Li Tai who had just arrived embarrassed to the extreme.

"Why did someone say that Chai Zhewei, who is like a quail, didn't do anything to you when I first came here? That guy has a tough temper, but he is completely different from that bastard Chai Lingwu. If there is anything wrong with him, don't get angry.

well!Since the death of his aunt, their family has been extremely sensitive. He is considered sensible, and he alone takes care of the family's affairs.That kid Chai Lingwu is just a stunned young man, he doesn't know the difficulties of his uncle and his elder brother at all, he chases chickens and dogs outside all day long, bullying men and women.This kind of person will bring disaster to the Chai family sooner or later."

After muttering something, Li Tai asked Zuo Ming with concern.

On the surface, he cares about Zuo Ming, but anyone can see that what Li Tai really cares about is Chai Zhewei.

This is something that can't be helped, Zuo Ming is a ruthless person who can make Li Shimin suffer a lot, and even ten Chai Zhewei can't be his opponent.He didn't need Li Tai to care at all.

Hearing Li Tai's words, Zuo Ming nodded in agreement.

He knew the fate of Chai Lingwu in history, because during the Yonghui period, he supported Jing Wang Li Yuanjing with Princess Gaoyang and was sentenced to beheaded by Li Zhi. Although he escaped later, when he was hunted down, he still chose suicide.

This is a master who doesn't know how to live or die, Zuo Ming naturally won't care about him, anyway, he won't live long.

"Chai Fuma is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, otherwise he would not be highly regarded by His Majesty. Although Chai Zhewei lacks composure, he has inherited Naifu's fierceness, and he is also a rare talent."

Nodding his head, Zuo Ming said lightly.

He didn't mention Chai Lingwu at all, he just wanted to let Li Tai know that it was just a farce in his opinion, he Chai Lingwu might remember it for a lifetime, but I Zuo Ming didn't care.

After hearing this, Li Tai heaved a long sigh of relief for no reason.

He didn't know why, but he always felt that if the Chai family, who were relatives of the emperor, really went against an ordinary person like Zuo Ming, it would be his Chai family who would suffer.

"Sanggong! I came out to play, but I don't want to lose my interest! Let's go back! It's boring to stay like this!"

The topic was a bit boring, and Wang Siyan suddenly lost the interest to stay.

"Yes! Why don't you go back and play cards!"

Hu Ke also agrees.

"Well! That's fine! Anyway, I've been here, and I've given the prince face. Miss Cheng, Zuo will leave first! See you again someday!"

Nodding his head, Zuo Ming naturally didn't care, he came here just to save face for Li Chengqian.

Zuo Ming wanted to leave, Cheng Shishi naturally gave another slight salute, but at this moment, Li Chengqian rushed over, just in time to see everyone saying goodbye, so he walked over with a light smile.

"Mr. Zuo stay! It's so hard to come here, why leave in such a hurry? I'm still counting on you to be the award presenter of this poetry meeting! You can't just leave like this!"

Hearing that Li Chengqian said that he would be the master of ceremonies for presenting awards, Zuo Ming and the talented scholars and beauties around him were slightly taken aback.

Then, someone raised an objection.

"His Royal Highness! I'm afraid this is inappropriate! Mr. Zuo is proficient in calligraphy and painting, but this poem is not his specialty. He really can't be the master of ceremonies for awarding awards! In my opinion, it's better to invite Ma Zhou Ma Yushi, He is knowledgeable, he is proficient in all kinds of poems and songs, even His Majesty is full of praise, he is the perfect choice!"

"That's right! In terms of flattery, Ma Yushi is definitely not as good as Mr. Zuo, but with this talent, Mr. Zuo may not be able to catch up with Ma Yushi even if he is flattering!"

The two who raised objections were both dressed in brocade robes with pearls and jade hanging on their waists, and they didn't seem to be very careful when speaking in front of Li Chengqian. They were the children of the royal family at first glance.

And it's fine for them to raise objections, but they said so bluntly that they are not qualified, especially the latter, they insulted themselves directly, which made Zuo Ming a little puzzled.

He was originally from Chang'an, and he seldom made enemies with others. Even the Chai family took the initiative to provoke trouble because of Chai Lingwu.He really couldn't think of when he offended these two people.

"Who are those two people? Why do they seem to have a big hatred with me?"

Puzzled, Zuo Ming asked Li Tai in a low voice.

"One is Li Jingheng, the eldest son of Uncle Rencheng, and the other is Li Chongyi, the eldest son of Uncle Zhaojun. I said, why did you mess with them? Uncle Rencheng is okay, but one is a bad guy. A few days ago He wasn't angry when Yuchi Jingde almost blinded him with a punch; but Uncle Zhao Jun Wang is notoriously caring, if you offend him, he will definitely remember you for the rest of his life!"

Li Tai first introduced Zuo Ming in a low voice, and then said very curiously and gloatingly.

Hearing this, Zuo Ming was also in pain.Now his mind is full of mud, how can he know what happened?
King Rencheng knew that it was Li Daozong, the later King of Jiangxia, and King Zhao Jun. After thinking about it, he would only be Li Xiaogong, the later King of Hejian County.But he didn't have any contact with these two, so how could he possibly offend them?

And just when Zuo Ming couldn't figure it out, Prince Li Chengqian said in displeasure, "Be cautious in your words! Mr. Zuo's talents and virtues have been affirmed by the emperor, and he is definitely not someone who 'flirts and flatters'." There is no doubt about it! As for poetry and songs, as far as I know, Mr. Zuo has made some achievements. Although he may not be as profound as Ma Zhou and Ma Yushi, the difference is definitely not much. Therefore, he must be the master of ceremonies. !"

Although I don't know what entanglements Zuo Ming has with Li Jingheng and Li Chongyi, but Zuo Ming was invited by him, so he naturally wants to maintain Zuo Ming's dignity.

However, after hearing this, Li Chongyi sneered, "I'm afraid the name is not worthy of the name!"

Seeing Li Chongyi contradicting himself repeatedly, Li Chengqian frowned deeply and became a little annoyed.The question is that he is a half-lord after all, although he is close to you in private, it does not mean that you have the capital to be wanton.

Li Jingheng on the side saw that the prince seemed to be angry, so he immediately gave Li Chongyi a wink, and then said with a light smile, "What the prince said is true! But hearing is deception, seeing is believing! Mr. Zuo is so young, he can have Such talent is really unbelievable!

If he were to be the master of ceremonies for this awards ceremony, and no matter what Chongyi and I think, most of the heroes present would not be convinced!
How about this, when Ma Zhou and Ma Yushi cooked five poems in one wine, for Mr. Zuo, we don't demand five poems!Just three songs!As long as Mr. Zuo can make three poems with excellent rhythm and artistic conception within the time of boiling a cup of tea!Let's agree to let Mr. Zuo be the master of ceremonies for today's awards!

In this way, not only can I see Mr. Zuo's amazing talent, but also dispel the dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction in everyone's hearts, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?Besides, when he came to the Poetry Club, if Mr. Zuo could leave a few masterpieces, it would be a good story. "

Li Jingheng was obviously much more sophisticated than Li Chongyi, and he said this so well that everyone around nodded in agreement after hearing it.But Li Chengqian frowned deeply.

He just said that Zuo Ming's poetry is not weak, but in fact he is just strong. After all, he has never seen Zuo Ming's poetry, and he really doesn't know his depth, so he was a little embarrassed for a while.

If you don’t agree, the talented men and women around you will definitely feel dissatisfied, and they will decide that Zuo Ming is indeed an incompetent person who can only flatter horses, but if you agree, what if Zuo Ming can’t write three poems?Or what if the three poems made don’t make sense?
For a moment, he was a dignified prince who was really entangled to the extreme!
Unlike Li Chengqian's entanglement, Wang Siyan, Li Tai and others looked at Zuo Ming expectantly.

Their worship of Zuo Ming has almost reached the point of superstition.Furthermore, they are also one of the few who know that the Jinling Fengchen song was written by Zuo Ming, so they naturally don't worry that Zuo Ming won't be able to write poems.

What they are thinking now is not whether Zuo Ming can make poems, but how good Zuo Mingzao's poems will be.Will it be the same as his painting?
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zuo Ming knew that he had to express his opinion at this time, otherwise Li Chengqian would definitely not be able to step down.

Originally, he didn't plan to copy the poems of the ancients anymore, but if he didn't respond right now, his reputation would be ruined by the entire Suzaku Street the next day. How could he deify himself in the future?How to complete your own comic business?
In desperation, he had no choice but to nod his head, "Originally, I didn't intend to be the master of ceremonies, and I really didn't think I had the qualifications. But in order not to let some people really think that I am an incompetent person who can only sycophant. I had no choice but to bite the bullet! However, the time for a cup of tea is too short, how about replacing it with a stick of incense?"

Li Jingheng and Li Chongyi both laughed when they heard that Zuo Ming actually changed the time for a stick of incense.They feel that they have grasped Zuo Ming's fate, and Zuo Ming really doesn't know how to write poetry.

Therefore, Li Chongyi said very generously, "One stick of incense is just one stick of incense! If you really can't make three poems, one is fine! We just want to see if you can compose poems! "

When talking about "Will it be", Li Chongyi emphasized his tone.Moreover, he only mentioned "whether it will be" instead of "whether it is good or not", which is obviously to wash Zuo Ming's face.

And the people around also showed a touch of disappointment and disdain.

A stick of incense, as long as you are not a fool, who can't write a poem?
Li Tai, Wang Siyan and others also looked curious and puzzled, not knowing what Zuo Ming was doing.

However, Zuo Ming did not speak. Seeing Li Chongyi nodding, he moved to the table, gently picked up the pen, and began to write.
