In the Linde Hall, Li Zhi's cheerful laughter echoed throughout the hall.
For a moment, almost everyone's eyes fell on the high platform. After a slight shift, they fell on Li Xuan, who was bowing slightly.
Li Xuan's expression was serious, sincere, and even slightly admiring.
Li Zhi took everything in sight, his smile gradually faded, and finally he looked at Li Xuan and said calmly: "People say that the King of Nanchang is the most flattering person in Chang'an. I have seen it today."
Li Xuan bowed his head and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty has a prosperous destiny and blessings from the Xuan Dynasty. He hangs his arch to rule the eight desolations; his virtue is passed down by Qian and Li, and he gathers his gusset and brings it to all nations. It is difficult for Tang and Wu to determine the good and bad, and it is difficult for Yao and Shun to compare with holy virtue..."
"Okay, okay." Li Zhi quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "If you keep talking, I will become the only sage in history."
"Your Majesty is actually not that bad." Li Xuan continued to hold over his hand and said in detail: "Throughout the ages, those who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Your Majesty are none other than Emperor Qin, Han Wu, and the late emperor..."
"Father." Li Zhi waved his hand, and Li Xuan stopped instantly.
Li Zhi sighed softly and said: "My father worked hard to create the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty. Although I have surpassed him, I have not surpassed him by much. I agree with this."
"Your Majesty is wise and wise." Li Xuan handed over his hand again.
Li Zhi glanced sideways at Empress Wu and said with a smile: "You see, that's why I can't keep him by my side. Twenty-seventh Lang is very articulate, and I'm afraid there aren't many people in the entire court who can compare with him... "
"But I really think so." Li Xuan bowed again with a sincere expression.
During Li Zhi's reign, although there were constant foreign wars, with victories and defeats, he tried his best to control the government's finances to a point where they could maintain each war, never taking a step forward lightly, and firmly holding on to the bottom line.
In this way, even if there is a tragic defeat on the battlefield, the people can still live their lives.
Don't flatter foreigners, the war will be won and lost, the overall situation is advantageous, and the entire country is on the rise.
Looking at previous history, perhaps only Emperor Qin and Emperor Taizong of Han Dynasty can rival him.
Even Emperor Wenjing was a little worse.
"Okay, I know you really mean it, but don't say it anymore." Li Zhi's expression softened, he glanced at Li Xuan, and then looked forward again and said: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Nanchang Wang's poetry is unparalleled, it is better to write a poem A poem to celebrate the festival."
"I obey." Li Xuan bowed again, then stood up, his eyes swept over everyone, and finally fell on the envoys from various countries.
Among them are the envoys of the Silla Kingdom, Qin Yujiagan, the envoys of the Japanese state, Daozhen monks, the envoys of the Tubo state, Zabala, the envoys of the Kang state, Kang Liancheng, etc.
These people, both familiar and unfamiliar to Li Xuan, all focused their attention on Li Xuan.
Li Xuan looked at everyone, thought for a moment, and then slowly said: "
Jade stones are shining under the moon wheel, and the new ones are found in front of the palace.
So far, there are no affairs in the sky. It should be Chang'e who inspires people. "
Li Zhi raised his eyebrows, thought about it carefully, and finally clapped his hands gently and said, "It's not bad, but it's quite satisfactory. Come again."
"Here!" Li Xuan's expression suddenly became solemn, she cupped her hands, raised her head and said in detail: "
The full moon flies into the bright mirror, and returns to the heart to fold the sword.
Turning around and walking far away, climbing osmanthus and looking up to the sky.
There is frost and snow on the waterway, and feathers are visible on the forest habitat.
At this moment, looking at the white rabbit, I want to count the hair. "
"Yes, I finally have some murderous aura." Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go on, play another song and let go."
"I obey the decree!" Li Xuan took a deep breath and cupped her hands again: "
The sky will clean the world tonight and the moon again.
The summer heat has retreated and the skies are clear, and the autumn scenery is clear and clear.
The stars make them shine, and the wind and dew make them shine.
The one who can change the human world is Yu Jing. "
From Pi Rixiu to Du Fu to Liu Yuxi, none of them are well-known poems.
There was no way around it. The title of Shui Tiao Ge Tou was too big, but the words were extremely inconsistent with the scene, so Li Xuan didn't dare to use it casually.
But Liu Yuxi, "The stars make the stars shine, and the wind and dew make the stars shine. If you can change the world, it is the Jade Capital", which is absolutely wonderful.
Li Xuan turned around, bowed deeply, and looked at Li Zhi.
Li Zhi held his chin and tasted it carefully, "If you can change the human world, you are the Jade King."
This is not talking about Yu Jing, it is clearly talking about him.
In the entire Tang Dynasty and the entire world, he was the only one who could change the world.
The one who can change the human world is Yu Jing.
The stars make them shine, and the wind and dew make them shine.
The summer heat has retreated and the skies are clear, and the autumn scenery is clear and clear.
This poem is quite charming when read upside down, especially the last sentence, "The sky will wash the world tonight and the moon again."
Li Zhi couldn't help but smile, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Twenty-seventh Lang is indeed an outstanding poet. I really should let you be a doctor in Hongwen Hall."
Li Xuan quickly raised his hand and said, "I will obey His Majesty's arrangements. However, I am not very talented and knowledgeable. I am afraid I will not be as good as the wise men."
"Okay, okay, sit down." Li Zhi waved his hand, motioning for Li Xuan to sit down, then turned sideways to look at Empress Wu, and said proudly: "How is it?"
"There is some pride." Empress Wu hugged Xia Niang who had calmed down, with a look of satisfaction on her face.
Although Li Xuan was an outstanding poet and a bold person, her words were full of awe, which really satisfied Empress Wu.
Under the high platform, countless foreign envoys, both knowledgeable and ignorant, all nodded in approval.
Those who really understood looked at Li Xuan with eyes full of surprise and admiration. Li Xuan's last poem was not that simple.
Li Xuan bowed slightly, and her eyes fell on the Tubo envoy Zabala on one side. The two looked at each other, and their deep eyes had already collided fiercely.
In Chang'an today, the only Tibetan ambassador left on the stage is the Tubo envoy.
But secretly, there is a life of death that Li Xuan doesn't know about.
This time, Lun Qinling easily delivered orders from the Qinghai Plateau to Chang'an. Similarly, news from Chang'an could also be delivered to the Plateau in a short time.
Although they are still secretive, at the moment of death, once they take action, they think they are about to be exposed.
Station.
Within the Tang Dynasty, one must rely on post stations to achieve rapid transfer of news.
As long as you check at the inn, the identity of that person can be found out bit by bit immediately.
…
After the banquet dispersed, all the foreign ministers bowed their hands to Li Zhi and then slowly retreated.
On the high platform, Liu Jinyu was holding Xia Niang in her arms. Xia Niang's hand tightly grasped the piece of ruby that Empress Wu had just given her, and she would not let go.
Li Xuan stood up and was about to leave. At this time, Li Zhi waved his hand slightly and said: "The King of Nanchang and the Crown Prince, please accompany me for a walk."
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then raised his hands and said: "Here!"
Li Zhi nodded to Empress Wu, and then walked towards the Penglai Hall in the rear.
Follow the corridor and walk beside the lake, with a bright moon hanging high above your head.
Li Zhi said softly: "The bright moon rises on the sea, and the world is at this moment together. Twenty-seventh Lang, is this the poem you wrote last year?"
"Yes, this is what I wrote when I was in Hangzhou and learned that Sanniang was pregnant." Li Xuan bowed slightly.
After he wrote it, he sent the poem back to Chang'an. At that time, the fourth mother Liu Shubi and the fifth mother Liu Qiongyu were also at home, and later it spread.
"Your poetry talent has always been good. If you take part in the imperial examination, you may not be able to win the top prize." Li Zhi smiled slightly, and then said: "This will help me more...Prince, Quan Shancai's matter, What do you think?"
Li Zhi's words made Li Xian almost unable to react, but he still solemnly raised his hands and said: "In the matter of Zhaoling, I believe that General Quan is not guilty. After all, he is a foreigner and has no respect for the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty." I don’t know much about the details, and even my son-in-law may not be able to tell clearly about the matters within the scope of Zhaoling. Besides, it’s him, and my son-in-law thinks that small punishments and big warnings are enough.”
Li Xuan stood aside, lowered his head slightly, and said in his heart: "Quan Shancai is dead."
Li Xian was interceding for Quan Shancai. What fool taught him this.
Li Zhi nodded indifferently, then looked at Li Xuan and asked, "What did Twenty-seventh Lang say?"
"I think we should ask first, did they really only cut down the cypress trees around the military camp, or did they do something else?"
After a slight pause, Li Xuan continued: "In addition, we also need to check whether this person is a Dangxiang tribesman or a Han nationality. If it is the latter, we also need to ask them whether they have entered Zhaoling and whether they plan to enter Zhaoling... In any case, General Quan will be held responsible, after all, he should have known about these things, as well as the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites..."
Li Xian listened on the sidelines and couldn't help but change his color slightly when he heard that Li Xuan's punishment list was getting bigger and bigger.
Especially when Li Zhi in front nodded slightly, Li Xian's expression was even more ugly and terrifying.
"Father!" Li Xian couldn't help shouting, and then looked at Li Zhi's surprised eyes and said, "Father, now that the war has been postponed, he still treats the generals as if they are open to the enemy."
Li Zhi nodded calmly, then looked at Li Xuan and said, "In three days, there will be a trial in Dali Temple. You can also go and have a look."
"I obey the decree!" Li Xuan bowed solemnly.
Li Zhi waved his hands and said, "You two, go back. It's getting late tonight. You are both family members, so spend time with your family."
"Here." Li Xuan and Li Xian cupped their hands at the same time and stopped.
Li Zhi disappeared into the corridor in front, and Li Xuan and Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning around, Li Xian looked at Li Xuan. Seeing his calm and solemn expression, the anger in Li Xian's heart subsided a little, and he complained in a low voice: "Uncle Wang, the matter of General Quan is nothing to do. , just open one side of the network..."
Li Xuan waved her hand directly, looked at Li Xian and said, "Your Highness, haven't you figured out the source of the problem yet?"
"Where is the root cause?" Li Xian was stunned for a moment, frowning and said, "Didn't General Quan accidentally cut down a few cypress trees whose locations were unclear when he was setting up camp?"
The Zuoweiwei army was stationed at the foot of Jiuwei Mountain, and Zhaoling was within Jiuwei Mountain. The foot of the mountain should not be considered within the scope of Zhaoling.
Only the censor Zhongcheng forced him to be within the scope of Zhaoling, and this happened now.
Li Xuan looked at Li Xian with some disappointment, shook his head and said: "Why can't your Highness understand? This is not about cutting down the trees in Zhaoling at all. In fact, even if General Quan cuts down all the trees in Zhaoling, as long as Your Majesty doesn't Do you care, so what?"
"Then why?" Li Xian frowned tightly.
Li Xuan shook her head and said: "Suppose, Your Highness is just an ordinary citizen near Jiuwei Mountain. He heard that the trees outside Jiuwei Mountain were cut down and stabbed into the court, but that person was not punished at all. , what will Your Highness do?"
"Uncle Wang is saying that if General Quan is let go easily, more people will cut down the trees in Jiuwei Mountain?" Li Xian's brows relaxed, and he understood somewhat.
"Yes, if the surrounding trees are cut down today, then naturally there will be people who will inevitably enter and cut them down." Li Xuan sighed softly and said: "Your Highness should know that in addition to the late emperor's mausoleum, there are hundreds of imperial palaces in the Zhaoling Mausoleum. The tomb of an important minister, if anyone enters and robs the tomb under the pretext of cutting down trees..."
Li Xuan said everything in one sentence.
The emperor's worry was never about cutting down trees, but about robbing tombs.
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang, are you thinking too much?" Li Xian's face looked slightly ugly.
Li Xuan raised her head and looked forward, looking at the place where Li Zhi disappeared. The one who was really worried was actually the emperor.
It is a serious crime to disturb the late emperor, but it is even more of a capital crime to endanger the emperor's future.
You know, Li Zhi's health has never been good, and he might die one day. If someone uses the excuse of cutting down trees to rob a tomb...
