The Duanyang Festival luncheon in the Yiyuan Hall was full of singing and dancing, but the Duanyang Festival luncheon in the Taiji Hall was undercurrent.

The minister who supported Li Ke, the king of Shu, proposed to compose poems to cheer up the Duanyang Festival banquet, and Li Shimin agreed after listening.

Hearing that he was going to recite poems and lyrics again, Cheng Yaojin and his group of military officials rolled their eyes.They recite poems and write lyrics every time, aren't they tired of these sour scholars?

First, the civil servants recite poems and write lyrics, one by one with the theme of Duanyang Festival.

After the civil servants made a few poems, some ministers asked Prince Li Chengqian to write poems.

Although Prince Li Chengqian's calligraphy is not as good as that of Wei Wang Li Tai, his poetry is very good.After Prince Li Chengqian stood up, he first bowed to Li Shimin, and then read out his own poem with confidence.

After listening to it, Li Shimin applauded and praised Prince Li Chengqian for his poems.

After Prince Li Chengqian finished his poem, King Li Ke of Shu volunteered to stand up: "Father, my son has made a fool of himself."

Li Shimin nodded and signaled Shu King Li Ke to start.

Li Ke, king of Shu, straightened his chest, raised his chin slightly, and began to recite his poems in high spirits.

When he finished reading, there was a burst of applause in the Tai Chi Hall, and many ministers praised him for his well-done poem.

Li Ke, king of Shu, was a little humble, saying that his poems were not as good as Prince Li Chengqian's.Hearing what Shu Wang Li Ke said, Prince Li Chengqian said modestly that his younger brother did better than his elder brother.

Next was Wei Wang Li Tai, he stood up and left the seat, went to the middle and saluted Li Shimin, then he opened a scroll in his hand.

When the scroll is opened, there is a copy of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy.

"Father, my minister wrote a poem last night with feelings, please appreciate it." Wei Wang Li Tai opened the scroll, and read out a poem written on the scroll aloud.

After listening, Li Shimin clapped his hands excitedly and said "OK".He also exaggerated that Wei Wang Li Tai's handwriting is very good, and it is more and more like Wang Xizhi's charm.

In terms of calligraphy, Wei Wang Li Tai is not only the best among all the princes, but also the best among civil and military officials.

Li Shimin asked Feng Yong to bring Wei Wang Li Tai's handwriting over, and then he carefully tasted Wei Wang Li Tai's handwriting, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and the more he looked at it, the more he praised Wei Wang Li Tai.

Quite a few ministers who watched the excitement echoed Li Shimin's words, and praised Wei Wang Li Tai's words.There are also some ministers with ulterior motives who exaggeratedly praised Wei Wang Li Yao as a great calligrapher.Some people closed their eyes and boasted that Wei Wang Li Tai copied Wang Xizhi's handwriting, which was exactly the same as Wang Xizhi's own handwriting.

Li Ke, King of Shu, played with the wine glass in his hand, and looked playfully at Prince Li Chengqian sitting opposite him.

Prince Li Chengqian was naturally very jealous when he heard Li Shimin and the ministers' compliments on King Wei Li Tai, but he didn't show a single point on his face.

Li Ke, the King of Shu, had a deep look in his eyes, pretending to be innocent and casually said: "His Royal Highness, what do you think of the word Sihuangdi?"

Prince Li Chengqian stopped drinking, then put down the wine glass in his hand, and took a deep look at Li Ke, the king of Shu with an innocent face.Although Shu King Li Ke put on an innocent expression, Prince Li Chengqian saw schadenfreude in his eyes.

"The fourth brother's handwriting is naturally excellent." After the crown prince Li Chengqian finished speaking, he added, "The fourth brother's calligraphy is the best among you and my brothers. Don't the third brother think so?"

Li Ke, King of Shu heard Prince Li Chengqian's question, and smiled with great interest: "Your Highness is right, the calligraphy of the fourth brother is very good, and you and I are not as good as the fourth brother in this regard, your highness, you say, right?"

Prince Li Chengqian endured his impatience, and said in a flat tone: "You are right."

Just when Li Ke, king of Shu, wanted to make things difficult for Prince Li Chengqian, Li Shimin rewarded King Wei Li Tai with things when he was happy, and asked Wei Wang Li Tai to go to Hongwen Museum.

Li Ke, the king of Shu who was watching a play, was shocked when he heard that Li Shimin wanted Wei Wang Li Tai to go to the Hongwen Museum. He didn't have any intention to watch the good show between Prince Li Chengqian and Wei Wang Li Tai.

Prince Li Chengqian unconsciously clenched the wine glass with his right hand after hearing this.The knuckles of the hand holding the wine glass were white, and the veins on the back of the hand were protruding.

Changsun Wuji was also very surprised when he heard this decree, but he did not lose his mind to stop Li Shimin's decree.

When other ministers saw that Li Shimin wanted Wei Wang Li Tai to go to the Hongwen Museum, they were naturally happy to hear it.They hope that Wei Wang Li Tai will become more and more powerful, so that he can compete with Prince Li Chengqian.

The ministers of the aristocratic family hoped that Li Shimin's sons would fight hard so that they could reap the benefits of fishing.

The ministers who supported Shu Wang Li Ke were also very happy about this matter. Although Wei Wang Li Tai's entry into the Hongwen Museum was a threat to Shu King Li Ke, it was even more of a threat to Prince Li Chengqian.

All the civil and military officials in the court knew that Wei Wang Li Tai and Prince Li Chengqian were at odds, and Wei Wang Li Tai kept fighting for the crown prince.They wished that Wei Wang Li Tai and Crown Prince Li Chengqian would fight more and more fiercely, which would be more and more beneficial to them.

Wei Wang Li Tai was naturally very satisfied with this reward, and thanked Li Shimin again and again.

For a while, Wei Wang Li Tai stole the limelight at the Duanyang Festival luncheon.

At this time, Li Yu and Li Zhi were rushing to the Tai Chi Hall, and it was Empress Changsun who asked them to come here.

Although the three of them are not adults, they don't need to appear at the Dragon Boat Festival luncheon in Tai Chi Hall, but today is the Dragon Boat Festival, so they should come to salute Li Shimin.

On the way to the Tai Chi Hall, Li Yu asked Feng Yong about the luncheon in the Lower Tai Chi Hall.I heard that Wei Wang Li Tai wrote a picture to make Comrade Li happy again, and he was sent by Comrade Li to work in the Hongwen Museum. Li Yu marveled at Wei Wang Li Tai's scheming in his heart, and complained about Comrade Li's connivance.

Not everyone can enter the Hongwen Museum, nor can it be entered casually.

In Li Yu's view, the Hongwen Museum is equivalent to Comrade Li's think tank.It can also be said that it is the center of imperial power.Because the people in the Hongwen Museum are all Li Shimin's most trusted people.

Comrade Lao Li attached great importance to the Hongwen Museum. He often summoned ministers to discuss major issues in the Hongwen Museum.It can be said that apart from Ganlu Hall, Hongwen Hall is Li Shimin's second office.

For Wei Wang Li Tai, entering the Hongwen Museum is a very good thing.He entered Hongwen Hall, which means he entered the center of imperial power.

"Father asked the fourth brother to enter the Hongwen Museum, the prince brother..." Li Zhi felt that it was not good for Li Shimin to let Wei Wang Li Tai enter the Hongwen Museum.

Li Mingda lowered his voice and said, "Brother Prince must be unhappy."

Li Yu clasped the back of his head with his hands crossed, walked casually, and said casually: "It's nothing strange, it's not the first time that Aye has treated the fourth brother so favorably." He bet that old Comrade Li asked Wei Wang Litai's going to the Hongwen Museum was not a whim, but premeditated, and he just took advantage of this moment to implement it.

Li Zhi naturally knew what Li Shimin's purpose was for doing this, so he couldn't help but sympathize with the next prince Li Chengqian.

"Fourth brother always uses calligraphy to curry favor with Aye, it's really..." Li Mingda curled his lips and said, "Don't he feel tired of it?"

Li Yu snorted lightly and said, "Who told Aye to do this?"

"Little Yu'er, if you show Aye the words you wrote last time, Aye won't like Fourth Brother's words." Li Mingda is still thinking about this matter.

Hearing what Li Mingda said, Li Yu was so frightened that he immediately covered her mouth with his hand, and warned her not to talk too much.

"Didn't I tell you to forget?"

Li Mingda took Li Yu's hand away, and said in a low voice, "How could I forget, but don't worry, Xiao Yuer, I won't tell Aye."

Li Yu was a little worried about Li Mingda, and after thinking about it, he said harshly: "If you tell Aye about this, I will sever ties with you!"

Li Mingda saw that Li Yu's expression was serious, and he wasn't trying to scare her, so he quickly nodded in fright: "I know, I will definitely not tell Aye!"

Li Zhi opened his mouth and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Li Yu: "Ninth Brother, you are the same. If you tell Aye about this, you will no longer be my Ninth Brother."

Hearing Li Yu speak so harshly, Li Zhi didn't dare to say anything, he could only promise quickly: "Xiao Yu'er, don't worry, I will never tell father!"

Seeing that Li Zhi and Li Mingda were frightened by him, Li Yu felt relieved and didn't talk about it again.

Just when Li Shimin praised Wei Wang Li Tai's words, Li Yu, Li Zhi and the others came to the main hall.

Li Yu and the others first saluted Li Shimin, and then they saluted Prince Li Chengqian and the others.

"You guys came just in time." Li Shimin looked at Li Yu and the others, and said lovingly, "Just now your elder brother made a poem, and the three of you did it too."

Upon hearing the poem, Li Yu rolled his eyes.

Li Shimin naturally saw Xiao Yuer rolling his eyes, and said angrily, "Why, you don't want to do it?"

"I don't want to." Li Yu said very loudly, his pretty face was full of resistance.

Li Shimin didn't expect his youngest son to be so bold, he was startled slightly, and then asked amusedly: "Why don't you want to compose poetry, because you are afraid that you can't do it? You have studied with Xiao Yu for a while, so you should also have learned to compose poetry." , he smiled kindly at Li Yu, "Don't be afraid that your poems are not good."

"I don't want to." Li Yu didn't give Comrade Li any face, and said directly, "Brother Prince and the others have made poems, so should I write them?"

Li Shimin: "..."

"Aye, every festival or new year, you ask people to write poems, don't you get tired of it?" Li Yu really couldn't understand the problem of these people always wanting to write poems, as if they couldn't realize their value if they didn't write poems. "Can't you do something else besides writing poetry?"

Li Zhi tugged at Li Yu's sleeve, telling him not to talk anymore, after all, there were all civil and military officials present.

"Stop talking nonsense, if you don't write a poem that satisfies me today, I will give you [-] slaps."

Li Yu: "! It's too unreasonable, Comrade Chang Li.

"Father, son..." Li Zhigang started to plead with Li Yu, but was interrupted by Li Shimin coldly, "Let him do it."

Li Yu wondered if he ran away now, would he be beaten later?

Li Zhi pulled off Li Yu's sleeve again, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Yu'er, you'd better compose a poem obediently, after all, all civil and military officials are here."

Li Yu sighed deeply and helplessly in his heart, isn't it just poetry, he can do it, but he has conditions.

"Aye, you just said that I did not do well, and you beat me up. If I do well, do you want to reward me?"

Li Shimin was not surprised when he heard Li Yu say that, he knew that this little bastard would never forget to ask for favors for him.

"If you do well, I will naturally reward you."

"I have the final say on what reward I want." Li Yu was really worried that Comrade Li would give him another jade pendant.To be honest, he didn't care about Comrade Li's jade pendant at all.He prefers silver to jade pendants.If it weren't for the presence of civil and military officials, he would have asked Comrade Li for money directly.

After hearing this, Li Shimin knew what his youngest son wanted.

"I promise."

"Then I'll do it." Although Li Yu didn't like to compose poetry, it didn't mean he couldn't do it, it's just that he did it so-so. "Duanyang Festival..."

Li Yu made a Qilu poem, although it wasn't very amazing, but given his age, this poem was well done.

Li Shimin didn't hit Li Yu this time, and praised him for doing a good job without hesitation, "What reward do you want?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll ask you when I think about it." When the luncheon was over, he asked Comrade Li for 1 taels of silver, otherwise it would be too bad.

The author has something to say: Carp: Writing poems, can’t you do other things besides writing poems?

Cheng Yaojin: His Royal Highness King Rui is right!

Carp: I haven't shown my nine-year obligation, or I'll scare you to death.
