After a while.
After receiving the secret report from the Jinwu Guards, Wei Zheng and the others hurried into the imperial study.
As soon as they entered, they saw Li Shimin writing on the desk with a solemn expression. Zhangsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin were staring blankly at Li Shimin's back.
As soon as they entered, Zhangsun Wuji shushed them and said, "Don't make a sound!"
As he spoke, Zhangsun Wuji smiled and gestured for them to continue.
What was going on?
Wasn't the Emperor furious when he left the palace this morning?
Now, why did he have the leisure to write something?
Could it be that … the Emperor wanted to kill Tubo's envoy?
What Tubo's envoy did in Chang 'an City last night and what happened in Chang' an City today really angered the Emperor?
Wei Zheng glanced at Zhangsun Wuji with a grave expression. Then, he walked forward and was about to interrupt Li Shimin. However, at that moment, he saw the writing on Li Shimin's desk.
Instantly, he was shocked.
One must enjoy life to the fullest. Don't let the golden goblet face the moon empty.
I am born to be useful. Money will come back after it has been spent.
Cooking sheep and slaughtering cows for pleasure. Drinking three hundred cups at once.
Drinking wine, don't stop.
Let me sing a song with you. Please listen to me.
This was …
His Majesty wrote this?
"What a good poem!"
"Your Majesty! If … if the Confucian officials in the imperial court knew about this poem, they would definitely be convinced by Your Majesty! "
After Li Shimin finished writing the poem.
Du Ruhui and the others praised him repeatedly.
"Even the great writers of that time couldn't have written such a poem so freely!"
"How could an ordinary person compose such an artistic conception? I feel that if Your Majesty's poem is listed as the subject of the imperial examinations in the future, the scholars of the future would be proud of it! "
Li Shimin took a deep breath and waved his hand. "What do you think of this poem?"
"Wonderful! Wonderful beyond words, Your Majesty! "
"This poem only exists in the heavens!"
Li Shimin shook his head. .
"This was not created by me!"
Everyone was shocked!
Not created by His Majesty?
Could it be …
"Your Majesty, could it be that … this poem was created by Zhang Feng?"
"That's right!"
Li Shimin looked at the poem on the desk with a complicated expression on his face. He felt that the poem was incomplete, but because of this, he was even more eager to keep Zhang Feng by his side.
He, Li Shimin, was also someone who loved poetry and songs. This kind of beauty was really unable to be expressed with words!
He made up his mind.
In the future, he would definitely get Zhang Feng to write a hundred and eighty poems for him. When the time came, all the countries would come to pay homage to him. Not only would he be able to promote the culture of the Great Tang, he would also be able to spread his name even further!
But!
He also knew that this was a story for the future.
He waved his hand and said, "This time, I called you all here because of Tubo!"
"Today, I met Zhang Feng in Chang 'an!"
"What!?"
"Could it be that he knows Your Majesty's identity?"
Wei Zheng was shocked.
Cheng Yaojin was dozing off. He didn't understand any poems, but when he heard this, he immediately became alert. .
"Your Majesty, do you want me to bring Zhang Feng to the palace to meet His Majesty?"
Li Shimin rolled his eyes at Cheng Yaojin.
"It's not what you think!"
While speaking, Li Shimin told him about his encounter with Zhang Feng. As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh.
Then, Li Shimin's voice became serious.
"This time, Wei Zheng, summon them to meet tomorrow to discuss Tubo's matter in Taiji Palace. As for the price, ten million taels is my bottom line!"
"Your Majesty, you mean to increase it by ten million?"
"No!"
"Reduce it by ten million!?"
"What?"
"Reduce it!?"
"How can this be?!"
"These bastards, if it weren't for the wind and rain in Chang 'an City last night, I would have skinned them alive. How can they …"
"Shut up, Old Hei! Let His Majesty finish! "
Zhangsun Wuji scolded Cheng Yaojin lightly. Cheng Yaojin sat on the chair angrily and didn't say anything, but his fists were clenched so tightly that they made cracking sounds.
It seemed that as long as the Emperor gave the order, he would rush to kill the enemy.
Wei Zheng and the others weren't in a good mood either.
No matter who it was, it would not feel good to be tricked behind their backs.
Li Shimin also understood everyone's feelings and said faintly, "This matter is settled!"
"You have to remember one thing, the retreat now is only for the sake of a more advantageous step forward in the future!"
"Buzz —!"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but hear a roar in their minds!
The retreat now was only for the sake of a more powerful step forward in the future?
This …
Everyone was stunned.
Damn it …
Was this the philosophy of Confucianism?
"The retreat now is only for the sake of a more powerful step forward in the future?"
"This …"
Wei Zheng was shocked.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were also shocked.
Everyone looked at Li Shimin in disbelief.
With their attainments in Confucianism, they could instantly understand the meaning of this sentence. They were just shocked that although His Majesty's words seemed easy to understand, what kind of Confucianism philosophy was contained in it?
Even if it was a great Confucian scholar from ancient times to the present, it was impossible for him to say such words!
Sure enough.
His Majesty really hid it well!
How could he understand such words from this poem?
How much wisdom was His Majesty hiding?
However, at this moment, Li Shimin took a deep breath and said, "This is what the shopkeeper said!"
"…"
