Chapter 173 A poem will set the audience

Li You was about to go to the brick kiln to see the situation of burning bricks, but who knew that before he left, Li Shimin's imperial edict came and suddenly let him enter the palace.

Last time, someone was thinking about their soap and soap, but this time I don’t know what happened again.

There is no way, Li Shimin has the greatest imperial edict. Li You received the imperial edict and rushed to the palace without stopping. After entering the palace and coming to Tai Chi Hall, Li You saw a scholar without fame and fortune in the hall. What is the situation?

Although Li You was surprised, he still saluted Li Shimin first.

Just after the ceremony, Li Shimin looked at Li You and asked, "Li You, do you know the scholar beside you?"

Li You looked at Shao Qiusheng a few times, a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who the other party was. Then Li You told him his true feelings. Who knew that Li Shimin had not spoken yet, but the scholar on the side suddenly sneered: "Your Highness is really a noble man who forgets things. When you plagiarize my poems, you knew me Shao Qiusheng. Now I, Shao Qiusheng, is useless, and Your Highness doesn't know you."

"Ah..." Li You looked at Shao Qiusheng in surprise: "I copied your poems. When did I copy your poems?" Li You was very surprised. He thought about it hard and thought that among the poems he copied, was there a name called Shao Qiushu, but Li You thought about it all, but he didn't think that Shao Qiusheng was a relatively famous poet.

What made Li You even more speechless was that the scholar named Shao Qiusheng actually looked at Li You and said, "The Cold Ju is what you copied me...!"

After hearing this, Li You became speechless. Don’t joke. The poem “Cold Chrysanthemum” was clearly written by Zheng Sixiao, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was absolutely impossible that people in the Tang Dynasty could write it at this time.

Why is Li You so sure? Because this song "Cold Chrysanthemum" has two meanings. The first meaning is of course to describe the nobility of chrysanthemums, and there is another meaning, which is the pain of the demise of the country and the thoughts of the homeland.

Zheng Sixiao, a erudite student in the late Southern Song Dynasty, was an excellent student of the Taishu. He hated those who controlled the government and wrote letters to the emperor many times, demanding reform of the administration and fighting against foreign tribes. Unfortunately, people were rude and the letters were not delivered to the emperor.

After the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, he lived in seclusion in Suzhou and was obsessed with his homeland. He would face the south when he sat and lie down. The orchids he painted had no roots or soil (to show that the country was lost). His poems, like paintings, showed strong pain of the country's destruction and thoughts about his homeland. "Cold chrysanthemum" is his representative work in poetry like him.

You said how could it be written by people from the Tang Dynasty? So Li You can conclude that this person is here to frame him.

"You keep saying that this song "Han Ju" was copied by His Highness of Qi, so good... Now it is in the Tai Chi Hall of the Tang Dynasty. You two will have another competition. Your Majesty will give the question. You and His Highness of Qi will write a poem under the fair confirmation of all the ministers. As long as your poems are better than His Highness of Qi, then we will believe that His Highness of Qi copied your poems. Otherwise, you are the crime of deceiving the king and should be punished...!"

Li You turned around and found that Quan Wanji walked out and said.

"This method is very good... What do you guys think...!" Li Shimin smiled slightly. He admired the solution proposed by Quan Wanji. It was indeed a good idea. It was very simple to prove whether Li You was plagiarizing. It was just a simple and just write a poem openly.

All the ministers in the court also thought that this method was very good. In this way, the authenticity would be determined immediately and no one would be wronged. Ma Zhou also nodded slightly, thinking that this method was very fair.

Shao Qiusheng was not very resistant to this method, because he felt that it was quite simple to defeat an ignorant with his talent.

So just after the ministers in the court agreed, Shao Qiusheng also agreed.

Li Shimin smiled and looked at the show. He then thought for a while and said, "During this period of time, the Tang Dynasty's foreign wars were fierce, and many sluts covet my Tang Dynasty. Why don't you two write a poem about the outside world...!"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, many people with intentions probably knew Li Shimin’s thoughts. This was Li Shimin’s desire to start a war against Goryeo... Otherwise, he would not have thought about this matter all the time.

Li Shimin looked at Li You and Shao Qiusheng intentionally. At this time, Li You bowed and said, "Your Majesty, my handwriting is not very good. Can you ask Zhinu to help me?"

"Father, I can..." Li Zhi hurriedly walked out.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, go and help your fifth brother..." Following Li Shimin, he looked at Li You and Shao Qiusheng and said, "I will give you a stick of incense stick..."

"No need...!" Li You looked at Li Shimin and smiled, "Your Majesty, please listen to this song. The bright moon in the Qin Dynasty was in the Han Dynasty, and the people of thousands of miles of Long March had not returned. But let the flying generals in Longcheng be there, and the Hu horses would not be able to cross Yinshan."

These are two poems to go to the frontier, one of which... This is a famous poem on the frontier, expressing the poet's desire to serve as a good general, quell the frontier wars as soon as possible, and enable the people to live a stable life.

This poem starts from describing the scenery. The first sentence outlines a desolate scene of the cold moon shining on the border. The image is vivid. The following sentence "The people have not returned after the Long March". "The people have not returned after the frontier and the mainland are thousands of miles apart. Although it is a false point, it highlights the vast space. "The people have not returned" reminds people of the disasters brought to people by war and expresses the poet's grief and anger.

The Ming Dynasty poet Li Panlong once praised its 7-character quatrain of Tang Dynasty, which is very powerful.

"Okay... I'm a good person, but I won't teach Hu horses to cross Yinshan." Changsun Wuji was the first to praise him.

"Good...good...good..." Li Ji also applauded: "Your Highness King Qi's good poems..."

Then Fang Xuanling, Ma Zhou, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang... and others applauded. There was no way. Wang Changling's poems were of course resistant to the beating. It was really ridiculous that a little scholar from the Tang Dynasty wanted to compare with Li You, a modern figure.

"This...this..."

What does Li You say about "Going Out of the Frontier"? Shao Qiusheng no longer needs to continue. At this time, Shao Qiusheng also showed a panic expression.

Then Li Shimin looked at Shao Qiusheng and shouted sternly: "Shao Qiusheng, said... in the end, is he instructing you to frame the prince of the Tang Dynasty..."

"ah...!"

With a 'plop', Shao Qiusheng's knees softened and knelt down directly. Then Shao Qiusheng refused to shake his head with all his strength and said, "Your Majesty, it's not like this, it's really not like this. No one instructed me. I was really plagiarized. "Han Ju" really wrote it...!"

To be honest, Shao Qiusheng was still stubborn at this time, and even Li Zhi couldn't see it. Then Li Zhi scolded: "Shao Qiusheng, you are too hard-mouthed. The facts have come out. My fifth brother Shi still needs to copy you?

Don’t you say it if you don’t need to be severely punished?"
