I have to admit that although His Majesty Li Er came to the throne in a shady way and was criticized a lot, he is indeed very magnanimous. Especially after becoming the emperor, he did not kill all the subordinates of the former hidden prince Li Jiancheng. Make good use of it and entrust it with important tasks.
The establishment of "Hundred Cavalry" is not so much to maintain the stability of Chang'an, the capital, as it is a "test product" established by His Majesty Li Er to spy on the military intelligence of other countries. However, judging from its disappearance in history, it is probably It didn't play the expected role.
His Majesty Li Er has always been extremely confident. Hulao Pass dared to lead 3,000 troops into a battle formation of 100,000 people because he was confident that he was invincible! He dared to entrust Prince Yin's subordinates with important tasks because he was confident that he had absolute control over the army, and even one or two small fishes could not make trouble! He dares to let several adult sons fight for the throne because he is confident that everything is under his control and there will never be any uncontrollable situation!
Therefore, for such a person, it is shameful to set up a "secret" department to monitor his ministers.
He holds the world in his hands and can intimidate and benefit him. Who dares to rebel? Who will rebel?
Therefore, when Li Junxian was training "Hundred Cavalry", His Majesty Li Er strictly ordered not to collect the privacy of ministers. Some innocuous information can be used as conversation materials, but some information that touches the bottom line, even if it is collected accidentally, It must also be destroyed.
When His Majesty Li Er had finished his morning court and was drinking tea and resting in his bedroom, he accidentally asked what interesting things happened in Chang'an City recently. Li Junxian was very troubled for a while.
Knowing people well and assigning them well is a very outstanding skill of His Majesty Li Er. He can almost know the temperament and talents of his subordinates very well.
Therefore, when Li Junxian hesitated for a moment, he saw something strange.
"Tell me about it." His Majesty Li Er said calmly.
"promise!"
Li Junxian responded, stopped his words a little, and reported one thing to His Majesty the Emperor concisely.
Hearing that what happened in the palace of King Wu Li Ke, His Majesty Li Er looked a little hesitant: "I have said more than once, don't pry into the secrets of those ministers' palaces. Even if I am the Supreme Lord, I can't force everyone's heart." If you have the slightest complaint or disrespectful words, you will launch a big attack and even accuse yourself of crimes. There will be no peace and the country will be ruined. Why don't you listen?"
After speaking, his voice was fierce.
Li Junxian quickly knelt on one knee in the hall, feeling heartbroken by His Majesty Li Er's courage and feeling aggrieved.
What I didn’t want to say originally was what you asked me to say, but when I said it, you scolded me again...
His Majesty Li Er also felt that he had gone too far, so he said softly: "I am just urging you to remember to stick to your duties and never rely on power to cause trouble in Chang'an City."
Li Junxian respectfully agreed.
"Okay, since you want to say it, it's not a private matter, so let's hear it."
Li Junxian complained in his heart: I didn't want to say it, you asked me to say it...
Then he told the story of the banquet held in the palace of King Wu Li Ke.
Before he started talking, he did not forget to add: "Your Majesty clearly knows that this matter was not deliberately inquired by his subordinates, but that someone among the people who attended the banquet mentioned it as a joke after returning home and mentioned it to friends, and then it spread in the city. Come on."
His Majesty Li Er slightly nodded his head. A superior should supervise his subordinates at all times, but he cannot do so endlessly. This will become suspicion and distrust, and will also make his subordinates feel bored. This is what a wise king does not do.
Li Junxian said that this was because Fang Jun had another excellent work circulated, so His Majesty Li Er asked: "How about being so timid and writing poetry?"
I was a little surprised in my heart, thinking about the impact that the song "Charcoal Seller" had on Li Tai. Qingque, the kid, is now hiding in the palace all day long. He is obviously very distressed by that poem. At present, people are agitated, especially the censor in the court. They have caught the big fish of King Wei and brought out some trivial matters from the past as if to beat the blood. There is no doubt that this "sycophant who is causing harm to the country" will be brought out. "We will never give up until justice is brought to justice.
So he asked, "Could it be that he was swearing again this time?"
Li Junxian nodded and said, "Yes."
His Majesty Li Er: "..."
Could it be that this bastard couldn't sleep without causing some trouble? I thought that Fang Xuanling was an example of a gentleman with his age, poise and grace. How could he give birth to such a bastard son...
"Who are you scolding this time?"
"The first scholar in the Guisi family, Ji Wen."
"Ji Wen? Well, this person knows. He has some talent and learning, but he is impetuous and cold-hearted. He is devoted to working but has no intention of doing anything, which makes him embarrassed. At the Yuan Ye Oiran Conference, didn't Fang Jun write it for a singer? A piece of music that ridicules it all the time? How come it’s not over yet?”
Li Junxian smiled bitterly: "It's not Fang Jun who caused trouble this time. Ji Wen was invited by His Highness King Wu to go to the banquet. It was probably because of the incident on Yuan Ye that she was very dissatisfied with Fang Jun, and her words were quite... What a provocation, so... Fang Jun composed a poem to scold him."
When His Majesty Li Er heard that Ji Wen was invited by Li Ke to attend the banquet, he secretly sighed that this third son had a decisive temperament and outstanding talents.
As the first Jinshi, Ji Wen has been lingering in the secretary's prison for seven or eight years, making no progress, which shows that his ability is limited and he is not a talent. But Li Ke allowed such a person to provoke Fang Jun in every possible way during the banquet. In the end, Fang Jun had to write a lyrics to fight back. It can be seen that Li Ke must have let it go without stopping him.
What kind of person is Fang Jun?
His Majesty Li Er believed that few people could understand this coward's temper and talent better than him.
That is a little guy who is proud to the core!
For the sake of a breath, he could treat the prince as if he were nothing, and punch Li You until his nose bleeds;
For an old man, he dared to write a poem like "The Charcoal Seller", which destroyed Li Tai's reputation to pieces;
He even dared to press down the Censor Liu Lei and hammer him hard...
Li Ke actually asked Ji Wen to suppress Fang Jun, which shows that Fang Jun is bound to rebound strongly.
When it comes to writing poems and cursing people, Fang Jun is better than hitting people with his fists.
His Majesty Li Er asked with great interest: "What words did you write? After reading it and listening to it, I have to say that he is really a genius, especially in poetry. If he takes part in the imperial examination, he might get the top prize." "
The imperial examination system of this era was extremely imperfect, and most of the test questions were just poems and songs. Therefore, those who wrote good poems were very likely to dominate the list and become the number one scholar.
Li Junxian did not dare to interrupt. It was not until His Majesty Li Er finished speaking that he quietly recited the song "Looking to the South of the River and the Moon in the Sky" composed by Fang Jun.
After just one night, these two poems had spread in Chang'an City. This shows that Fang Jun's "literary name" is already widely recognized.
"The moon in the sky looks like a ball of silver from a distance. The night is getting late and the wind is getting stronger. I blow the clouds around the moon away with my slaves, and I see the unfaithful person..."
His Majesty Li Er recited silently, nodded repeatedly, and praised: "In addition to the poetry, it is very rare that the second son can write the lyrics to such a state of returning to nature. Is the other one also a curse?"
Li Junxian hesitated for a moment and said, "No...but...that's a pornographic poem, but it's the one that's the most controversial in the city right now."
His Majesty Li Er asked curiously: "What's the dispute?"
"Everyone says this is an excellent five-character quatrain, but Fang Jun himself said it is a poem..."
His Majesty Li Er was a little confused: "Poems and lyrics have their own forms and structures, so why can't we tell them apart? Read it and listen."
"No! There is bright moonlight in front of the bed. I suspect it is frost on the ground. I look up at the bright moon and lower my head to think about my hometown..." Li Junxian read carefully.
His Majesty Li Er stroked his beautiful beard under his chin, savored it, and praised it: "It was spoken in plain language, like hibiscus in clear water, without the slightest modification. It was completely done with ease, without any trace of artificiality, as the saying goes, plain and plain." It is true, and it can be regarded as an unprecedented masterpiece! This poem is clearly a five-character quatrain, so why is there any controversy?"
Li Junxian smiled bitterly and said, "Because Fang Jun himself said this is a poem..."
His Majesty Li Er was displeased: "That Guazin is unique. It's clearly a poem, but it's not a word. How does he finish the sentence?"
Li Junxian coughed and said, "It is said that he recited it like this...in front of the bed, the bright moon, the light..."
His Majesty Li Er was puzzled: "This doesn't make sense at all!"
"Did Your Majesty forget that this poem has a premise? This work was created at the invitation of the famous prostitute Mingyue. People present also raised this question, and Fang Jun... analyzed it in this way!"
Li Junxian recounted Fang Jun's analysis at that time.
His Majesty Li Er's eyes were widened. He couldn't believe his ears. Poetry... could actually be written like this?
"In front of the bed...there is a girl named Mingyue...naked? Damn you motherfucker!"
His Majesty Li Er was furious, gnashing his teeth, and slapped the desk table loudly: "Such wonderful words and beautiful words can hide such dirty thoughts. It's a pity that these poems can be passed down through the ages. It's a waste of natural resources and makes me angry." also!"
