Chapter 495

Wang Ou didn't want to pay attention to Li Shimin, but was worried that Li Muhui would be jealous of it. She carefully glanced at him and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty misunderstood. It was because Zhulu Hou's words were so good that he couldn't help but recite them. I hope Your Majesty respects himself."

Wang Ou dared to say this sentence in the world to "respect yourself". But Li Shimin didn't dare to say anything. If he asked him to respect himself, he would respect himself, for fear of being offended at all.

After suffering a loss from Wang Ou, Li Shimin had to find a balance elsewhere. Li Shimin glanced at Li Mu, deliberately embarrassed him, and said, "Li Mu, have you heard it? Mrs. Mudan said that you are good at writing your poems. I have known Mrs. Mudan for many years, and I have never heard her praise someone like this. Why don't you write another poem to suit the situation? Let me see, is your talented man who claims to be the most talented man in the Tang Dynasty? Is it just a name for you?"

If it were someone else, it would be really stumped.

When ancient people wrote poems and prose, they emphasized "just obtained by a clever hand". Often, excellent works are born only after the scene and artistic conception. The 300 Tang poems and 300 Song poems learned by Li Mu in his previous life were also selected from the vast sea of ​​poetry and the vast sea of ​​lyrics. Just imagine, the Tang and Song dynasties have been obtained for thousands of years, and the proportion is actually very low.

Even Li Bai and Du Fu may not be able to write an excellent poem quickly according to the topic. Li Shimin is simply a difficult situation. It is obvious that he is jealous of Li Mu. Who told Wang Ou to say that Li Mu is good?

Li Mu naturally understood what Li Shimin meant, and thought to himself, the old guy is bad enough. As soon as I became popular, you were thinking about suppressing me? Hey, I won’t let you go. Although I am not Li Bai and Du Fu, I am a little stronger than Li Bai and Du Fu - I have memorized 300 Tang poems and 300 Song poems. You are looking for trouble in this regard, but you are really looking for the wrong place!

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty still wants to sing in the water?"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Mrs. Peony said that you can fill in the lyrics of the water tune well, so naturally it will be the water tune."

"Is it still a moon view?"

"right!"

"Get paper and pen!"

Li Mu shouted, someone brought paper and pen. Wang Ou rolled up his sleeves and helped Li Mu grind ink very naturally. When Li Shimin saw it, he felt even more enjoyable, but he couldn't say it. In his opinion, Wang Ou was Li Mu's elder, and Wang Ou was originally a talented woman and loved these things. An elder, grinding ink for the younger generation, wouldn't be anything to say. If he stopped him, he would look stingy.

But the jealousy in his heart could not be dispelled. Li Shimin made up his mind. If Li Mu didn't write well or was not particularly good, he would give a comment and beat Li Mu's arrogance.

With this idea in mind, Li Shimin widened his eyes and looked at Li Mu's writing, secretly looking forward to it. It would be best if Li Mu wrote the first word wrong, which made him feel embarrassed.

"The country is beautiful, the wind and dew are high and cold. I send a message to Sister Yue, and I borrow my jade reference to see it."

"The fish and dragons roar in the secluded valley, the reflection of the stars shaking, the sea air is full of night. The silver palace is surging, and the Purple Gold Mountain is in danger."

"Show independent, flying clouds and wearing clouds, rinsing ice and snow, and looking at the end of a thousand miles."

"Looking back at the three mountains, I heard that the immortals laughed at me and asked me to return all my desires. I waved my hand and left from now on, and the phoenix became more and more phoenix."

When he wrote the first sentence, he couldn't see anything. Li Shimin was about to comment, but then Li Mu wrote the second sentence without pausing. As soon as the second sentence was released, Li Shimin was immediately glad that he didn't say anything just now, and if he had said something, he would be himself.

This song "Shuitu Songtou·Winding the Moon in Jinshan" is a representative work of the Southern Song Dynasty poet Zhang Xiaoxiang. Although Zhang Xiaoxiang is not as famous as Su Shi, Li Qingzhao, Xin Qiji and others, he is also notorious. He became the top scholar and was even more unfair. Because he wrote a letter to defend Yue Fei for his injustice, he was jealous of the powerful prime minister Qin Hui, and falsely accused his father Zhang Qi of rebelling and imprisoning his father. After Qin Hui died, he was rehabilitated and was one of the representatives of the "Bold and Strong School" poets.

The level of the whole poem is among the 300 Song lyrics. Although it cannot be considered top-notch, it is at least a mid-range. At least with Li Shimin's level, there is no problem.

But Wang Ou can clearly feel that the lyrics written by Li Mu in a "hurried" lags far behind the previous song "Shui Tu Songtou". For a literati, how can he not regard his works as life? Li Mu's literary talent is like the bright moon in the sky, but he fights against Li Shimin for her and writes a work with a sharp decline. Thinking of this, Wang Ou's heart is like someone holding it in hand, and it hurts to shed tears.

Li Zhien was right next to Wang Ou. Seeing her eyes turned red, she was worried that something would happen, so she quickly grabbed her hand and changed the topic: "Oh, the performance seems to have begun. Husband, let's not be in the house, accompany His Majesty to watch the performance outside."

"Yes, yes!" Li Shimin was in a dilemma. When he heard Li Zhien's words, he quickly took the opportunity to step down and said, "Today is mainly to enjoy the lanterns. The queen should be here. Let's go and greet them together." After saying that, he walked in front of him with his hands in his arms. Li Mu shook his head with a smile, put down the brush, reached out and pulled Wang Ou's hand, and gently patted her on the back of her hand. Wang Ou looked at Li Mu, his eyes full of affection.

"Cough!" Li Zhien coughed and said, "I'm going home and told His Majesty to see it. If you can't eat it, you'll take care of it!"

Li Mu had to let go of his hand, Wang Ou also blushed and took Bai Qiaoqiao's arm. The two of them went downstairs first. Li Mu grabbed Li Zhien's little hand and said, "Are you satisfied with this?"

"It should have been like this... I'll marry you tomorrow." Li Zhien leaned on Li Mu's arm and said coquettishly: "Husband, didn't you say you would give me a surprise? It's now, where is the surprise?"

"Put your heart in your stomach, and tomorrow I will make you a woman that all the girls and wives of Chang'an City envy you."

Lee Ji-en snorted: "Is it so powerful? I don't believe it!"

"Okay, I've grown up, I don't believe my husband's words anymore-then this surprise is gone. What if we have a meal and kowtow three times, I'll get married?"

"No," Li Zhien kissed Li Mu on tiptoe: "My husband is the best for me, I can't bear to let me down."

"That's probably true,"

"Husband——"

After playing and playing downstairs, we met Li Chengqian and Li Tai brothers who accompanied the queen on the street. At this time, the courtesan selection competition in Pingkangfang had officially begun. Some people gathered next to the stages at the door of each house. But it can be clearly seen that the number of people at the entrance of Lichunyuan was the largest, and the stage was surrounded, with all the people on the inside and the three floors inside and outside.

If you look closely, you will find some strange things. Among the crowds that surrounded me, there were many children, and each of them had a handful of candied fruit in their hands. Li Shimin saw this trick and pointed at Li Mu for a moment, but said nothing.

The queen was beside him, and Li Shimin was much more ruled. He didn't dare to look at Wang Ou, but he couldn't help but want to see it. Even though he was so cautious, he still discovered it for Empress Changsun. Although Empress Changsun was unhappy, she knew that it was impossible to rely on Wang Ou for this matter, and there were so many younger generations next to him, so it was really hard to say anything. She was caught between Li Shimin and Wang Ou, blocking Li Shimin's vision and making him unable to see it. She pulled Wang Ou to talk about his daughter's family, making him unable to interfere. After a few times, Li Shimin himself was defeated.

After walking a while, Li Chengqian and Li Tai, who were walking behind, had no idea when they were gone. There was no need to guess that these two kids must have gone to the gambling house. Li Shimin was squeezed out and fell into the same place with Li Mu. The two looked at each other and felt bored, and they were quite tired of seeing each other.

I was bored even when I was idle. Li Shimin looked at Li Mu and said, "I am still satisfied with the gift I gave you?"

"Uh..." Li Mu looked at Li Shimin in a daze and said, "Your Majesty, what are you referring to? I don't remember that Your Majesty gave me gifts. It seems that except when I was granted a title, Your Majesty did not give me any rewards. Then I gave eleven coins to the marquis. The money was put in a sandalwood box, without a word, and planned to offer it to you forever. If the descendants of later generations had a horse high and a stirrup short, they could still buy a yellow cow to plow the land..."

"Stop saying these useless words." Li Shimin interrupted Li Mu and said angrily: "Don't be foolish with me. I didn't give your concubine an imperial edict? Do you think it's a nonsense? Did you hear that whose concubine has an imperial edict? The entire Tang Dynasty, that is, you Li Mu! I am not good enough to you?"

Just as Li Mu was about to open his mouth, Li Shimin said again: "I heard from the high-ranking officials that you still need gifts of gold! How can I give you money? Do you give me this little money? Don't think I don't know. Your righteous brother dug up Datou's tomb, and it will cost at least 200,000 to 300,000 yuan of gold and silver, right? Have I asked you for a penny?"

Li Mu didn't dare to take the blame, because he was afraid that if he continued to talk, Li Shimin would have to share the accounts. He couldn't make the decision on this money, it was all Li Siwen's money. It seemed that it would be better to talk less.

"I've changed."

Li Shimin sighed and said, "I have been reflecting on myself these days. I am really unfair to you, but Li Mu, I have to say something to myself. I treat you well."

"I have been too much with you. For example, in terms of money, I have taken advantage of you, and I don't deny it. But think about it, I also give you a lot of convenience? If you don't say anything, you are also a courtier, but you don't go to court. Have I asked you for it?"

"Although you are my minister, are you like a minister? If I ask you with the rules of asking for your ministers, can you do it? Unlike you, I am different from the monarch and the ministers. I really treat you as my nephew. You must also remember this friendship between me."

Li Mu was a little embarrassed to understand what Li Shimin meant, so he nodded vaguely without saying a word. After a while, he added, saying, "Your Majesty, what I care about is not money, I hope Your Majesty can understand me."

Li Shimin laughed, waved his hand, and said, "This matter is revealed, and I won't mention it. You will be fully responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the future. I have confidence in you and will not interfere with you anymore. I only have one requirement for you. Can I have tens of thousands of cavalrymen within three years?"

"Uh..." Li Mu thought for a moment and replied cautiously: "If there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters, I think there is no problem."

"That's fine."

Li Shimin frowned slightly, as if thinking about something. Li Mu didn't dare to ask, but he could guess.

If it is not considered the butterfly effect, according to historical facts, after the Tang Dynasty fought against the Turks, it should have a period of stable for several years. The main enemies that emerged later were Tuyuhun, then Tubo, and then Xue Yantuo. It was Goguryeo's turn to appear in the middle and late stages of Zhenguan.

I don’t know which cavalry that Li Shimin expected was for the preparations for. However, such things were not done overnight. With the current national strength of the Tang Dynasty, even if there are one million stakes to control at will, they cannot afford to support ten thousand fully armed cavalry.

Why?

If you can’t make those armors, you can’t buy so many horses, and if you have money, you can’t make ten thousand horse spears!

Therefore, a country's military is proportional to the country's national strength. When the national strength has not been improved, it is just a dream to have tens of thousands of cavalry elites, and having money is useless.

Li Shimin also understood this point and suppressed his anxiousness and decided to let Li Mu do it and wait for a result.

Continue to walk forward, and look to the Dongfang Gate of Pingkangfang. Li Shimin stopped thinking, stretched his eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "Li Mu, I will ask you something, tell me the answer based on your intuition, and you must not hide it."

"good."

"Do you think the 'Share of the Moon' that Mrs. Mudan and I just read together - she really doesn't have any meaning to me?"

Li Mu is really going to curse people. What is this? Are you teasing someone’s wife in front of you?

Li Mu said with a stern face: "Your Majesty, I think Your Majesty may be thinking too much. Mrs. Mudan has already made it clear, because my poem is so good and has nothing to do with Your Majesty."

"No, no!" Li Shimin shook his head and said, "I just analyzed that my daughter's family is shy. Even if she thinks about me in her heart, she is embarrassed because of her identity and face. If you say it is because of the lyrics, why doesn't she recite your second lyrics? I think it's still the three words "Together with the beauty of the moon" that touched her heart. Li Mu, do you think if I issue an order, I will include Mrs. Peony in the palace..."

"No! Absolutely not!"

Before the word "how" was expressed, Li Mu had already shouted, attracting the attention of Li Shimin and the people next to him. Li Mu quickly lowered his voice, pulled Li Shimin and walked a few steps, and arrived at a secluded place, saying, "Your Majesty, are you confused? What is your identity? What is your identity? What is your identity? You want to include her in the palace, what do you think?"

"I——" Li Shimin sighed and said, "I just thought about it."

"It's not okay to think about it!"

"Hmm?" Li Shimin frowned and said, "I can't even think about it? Why?"

"That-" Li Mu cleared his throat and said, "What I mean is that Your Majesty should be strict with himself, that is, if you think so, it will go against the reputation of a wise ruler!"

"Your Majesty, don't forget that you have the queen, and Mrs. Mudan is the eldest granddaughter-in-law of Cui's clan in Qinghe. Even if you are your Majesty, you cannot force others to marry your widow's granddaughter-in-law, right? That's the seven hopes of the five surnames!"
